When Icardi saw Gao Zheng's wonderful goal, he smiled again.

Although Gao Zheng has already led him in terms of goals, he thinks this is a good thing - such Gao Zheng is better than the Gao Zheng who always escapes from him?

Now that Gao Zheng has scored two goals, he has to continue his efforts, but he cannot be compared by Gao Zheng!

So Icardi won two consecutive games next.

When the training ended, Icardi completed the hat trick.

And what about Gao Zheng?

He scored five goals.

In the end, this defensive training was a big failure - the defense team lost a total of eight goals.

Even Tosi, who was standing on the sidelines, was surprised: "Is this defensive training or offensive training?"

Bruni had a dark face and a very bad expression.

But he still said to Tosey: "At least there is something, you don't have to worry, Mr. Manager."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Tosy didn't react.

"High goal."

After saying that, Bruni stepped towards the court. At this time, assistant coach Casilio had already gathered the players.

Standing in front of the players, Bruni said with a secret face: "Look at your defense, look at it, this is the result of our practice for so long? I lost eight goals! Eight goals! If this is in the official game, do you know how the media and fans will scold you next? I feel embarrassed for you!"

The scolded defensive players turned their attention to Gao Zheng and Icardi, the two culprits standing aside, looking like they were not concerned about their own affairs.

Seeing the two of them doing this, someone couldn't help but scream: "But coach... this is not a normal training, Icardi and Gao are obviously..."

"What is obviously?" Bruney snorted. "Do you also ask the opponent's forward not to fight too hard in the game? I think this is the best training! There is no more real training than this!"

The defensive players who were scolded by the coach and couldn't raise their heads were complaining in their hearts: But we won't meet two geniuses who compete with each other in every game...

※※※

Because of his poor performance in defensive training, all the players on the defensive team were left to get extra penalties.

The members of the offensive team can finish the training.

Icardi returned to the locker room and smiled when he saw Gao Zheng.

"What are you doing?" Gao Zheng asked him.

"Didn't you say you can't compare?"

Gao Zheng scratched his head: "It's no comparison..."

"I know, I know." Icardi nodded repeatedly with a meaningful smile. "I heard that Chinese people are shy and not good at expressing..."

"I'm so shy!" Gao Zheng couldn't help it. "I said to Mauro, you should focus on playing football. Don't think about what you have. Play well, do you understand?"

Icardi nodded: "I understand, I will train and compete hard, and then beat you upright!"

Gao Zheng covered his face and was at a loss for this somewhat silly "second brother" Ika.

※※※

After carefully sorting out the vague inspiration he had in his mind when he saw Gao Zheng playing football into a clear idea, Bruno decided to go to Gao Zheng to have a good talk and persuade Gao Zheng to change his playing style, which may change his career prospects.

But he also knows how difficult it is to convince a player to change his habitual play.

For this, he prepared a lot of words, some of whom he understood and some of whom he moved.

So when Gao Zheng just arrived at the training base, he was called away from the locker room by head coach Bruney.

A group of people watched Gao Zheng suddenly called away by the head coach, and they didn't know what was going on. As soon as Gao Zheng left, everyone started to guess.

"I think it's time to let the big devil play!" Maxi was full of confidence in Gao Zheng, "his performance in training is obvious to all!"

When he said this, everyone thought it should be like this.

Since Gao Zheng came to Sampdoria reserve team, except for physical training and strength training, he has trained with the team. Everyone sees his performance in training. In terms of technology alone, his teammates think that Gao Zheng can play games.

But even so, the coaching staff did not let him play in the whole six games. It was almost two months since the team came, and Gao Zheng had not played a single game.

Gao Zheng was also very worried. His teammates were worried about him, but he was not in a hurry at all.

Now, his waiting is finally rewarded. Many people are happy for him.

Icardi was also very happy. Gao Zheng was finally going to play. He always competed with Gao Zheng in training and felt bored. It was meaningful to compete in the game. Scoring ten goals in training is not as good as scoring one goal in the game.

※※※

Gao Zheng did not go to Bruno's office, but stood outside the building on the side of the training ground, and the two started a conversation.

Bruni told Gao Zheng about his thoughts. Simply put, he hoped that Gao Zheng would not defend the penalty area like Icardi. Of course, he did not tell Gao Zheng that both of them were too crowded in front of the goal - he was afraid that Gao Zheng would misunderstand that he wanted him to give way to Icardi - he asked Gao Zheng to pull out more, not to be limited to somewhere, not only to be able to shoot, but also to create opportunities for his teammates. After all, he has this ability in training.

He originally thought that the young man opposite would not be willing to accept his advice, and he also prepared some words to convince him.

But unexpectedly, Gao Zheng nodded simply after hearing what he said: "Okay."

"I know...uh? OK?" Brony reflexively prepared to say something to persuade Gao Zheng, and then he realized that Gao Zheng actually agreed! "Did you agree?"

"Why not?" Gao Zheng asked strangely.

"Uh, no...I thought it would take you some time to accept..."

"It has been a year since I accepted the fact that I was seriously injured." Gao Zheng said. "In fact, I have started to turn to this aspect a long time ago. I no longer just stay in front of the door, but try to expand my activity area."

Bruney widened his eyes, thinking about what he and Tosey had observed before: "Aren't you afraid of physical confrontation?"

"Of course not." Gao Zheng shook his head, "If I am afraid of physical confrontation, I can't even play. It's safest to sit on the bench."

Upon hearing this, Bruno laughed: "I'm relieved."

"Don't worry?"

"I thought I'd take some effort to convince you."

Gao Zheng also smiled: "I have been thinking about how to play football after being injured for a long time. When I decided to come back, it means I have already thought about it."

Bruney nodded admiringly: "You are smart and sober, so I have nothing to say. Oh, by the way, you will be on the roster in the next game."

Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, not very happy, but asked the coach: "I can do it?"

"Whether you can play in the game depends on the specific situation, but if nothing unexpected happens... I want you to play in the game for a short time - it will definitely not be a long time. After all, you have not played a formal game for a long time. Our task is to make you find the feeling of the game, and there is no requirement for your performance or playing time." Bruney explained.

Gao Zheng nodded repeatedly: "I know, I understand."

"Just understand." Bruno patted Gao Zheng on the shoulder, very satisfied with Gao Zheng's reaction.

When Gao Zheng returned to the locker room again, Ma Xi immediately came up: "How is it? What's the matter with you, the coach?"

Facing his expectant gaze, Gao Zheng smiled and said, "I will be on the roster the day after tomorrow."

"Ye! What am I saying?" Masi immediately turned around and announced to the entire locker room. "I said that the Great Devil will not be absent!"

Other teammates also congratulated Gao Zheng, and Gao Zheng returned the gifts one by one.

Icardi also came up and said to him seriously: "I'll wait for you on the court, high!"

Gao Zheng's smile remained unchanged, and he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Luciano, how are you talking to Gao?" Back at the office, Bruno was stopped by assistant coach Casilio.

“It’s going well.”

“Did he not object?”

"No. That boy is more sober than we thought."

"That's really good." Casillao exclaimed.

"Alfredo, I have a very wonderful feeling... I always feel that a high future will be amazing." Bruno suddenly sighed.

"Of course, he and Icardi are the two heroes of our reserve team!"

Bruni shook his head when he heard this: "I think his future will be more outstanding and achieve higher achievements than Icardi."

"Higher than Icardi?" Casillaio was a little surprised.

“A lot taller.”
