Chapter thirty-seven different styles
Seeing Gao Zheng running around on the court, the reserve players who were breathing heavily on the court were all energetic, and their eyes followed Gao Zheng.
It’s not why. Since when did this new teammate who has just joined the team not long ago, he has become the backbone of the team.
Perhaps he can show off his ability to surprise others every time in training.
The title of "genius" is firmly tied to him, making everyone who has seen him play football firmly believe it.
Of course, they still feel a little regretful - if Gao Zheng was not injured, then his achievements would not be much higher than they are now? At least he should not have to be an unknown person in the Sampdoria Reserve.
Think about Inter Milan's super genius Balotelli, who is already a member of the Triple Champions League and has also transferred to the Premier League upstart Manchester City club.
If Gao Zheng is still in AC Milan and stays healthy, where should he be now?
No matter where I am, I will not be in Sampdoria's reserve team anyway...
But Gao Zheng didn't know what his teammates were thinking. He smiled and ran onto the field with a shaking head, without any urgency to fall behind two goals in the Lighthouse derby.
Midfielder Sanpietro saw Gao Zheng running up and shouted at him: "You're counting on the court!"
Gao Zheng made a "don't worry" gesture to him, and then said, "I'm just two goals behind."
He did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this, so Jelenic, who was not far from him, also heard it.
The Genoa midfielder laughed out loud: "It's just two goals behind?" Then he pointed at Gao Zheng and said to Sanpietro: "Is this your savior? A silly guy? Ha!"
Sanpietro had a gloomy face and didn't speak.
Gao Zheng ignored him at all and kept jogging slowly towards his position at the pace just now.
His appearance also attracted the attention of Genoa. After all, before the game, Jelenic focused on introducing this arrogant boy to them.
Seeing him running on the court like this, it seems that he does have the meaning of being "arrogant".
Many Genoa players' eyes suddenly became less friendly when they looked at Gao Zheng.
Mattia Palin was also staring at Gao Zheng.
This figure always makes him feel familiar, a bit like a person hidden deep in his heart. But when he saw Gao Zheng's lazy posture, he found that it was still different from that person, and it was very different. That person would never be so lazy...
So he shook his head, it seemed that it was his own illusion.
※※※
The Sampdoria fans on the sidelines also noticed Gao Zheng - it would be difficult not to pay attention to him, his style was really inconsistent with the situation on the scene.
He is completely different from those teammates who frowned, anxious about the situation and helpless.
It's impossible to see that this is the player who is replaced when the team is behind two goals and wants to change.
There were inevitably some murmuring and discussion in the stands.
"Who is he? Are you here for vacation?"
"A Japanese? Or Korean?"
"I am quite tall. Judging from his position after he comes on the court, he should be a forward. But his body is too thin... I feel that I can easily knock him down even when I go on the court!"
"Ha, don't talk big, Clariant. Being fat does not mean being powerful!" This sentence caused a low laugh from a group of people around.
A fat middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly with his big belly that was as if he was ten months pregnant: "Mass equals strength! Let's see, that 'human-shaped disposable chopsticks' will definitely be broken by Genoa's defenders!"
"Hey, Clariant, where are you standing?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Can't you see his lack of strength?"
Gao Zheng's body looks really thin, especially because he is still tall, which further highlights his thinness characteristics. In the inherent impression of most people, thinness means lack of strength.
The Sampdoria fans in the stands looked at Gao Zheng's figure and gradually fell into silence. They felt that the one Brunoy had changed into was not a very reliable person.
Clariant sighed sadly: "I feel unhappy when I think of the 'Turkey' in front of us and take away a victory! Although it is a reserve team game, it is enough to make me feel unhappy for a whole week. Unless we can beat Parma at home in the league tomorrow afternoon."
"I advise you not to think so, we have lost three consecutive games in the league..."
This topic made the crowd sigh.
Sampdoria's first team encountered difficulties in the Serie A. They had already lost four rounds and lost three rounds in a row. After twenty-nine rounds of the league, they were ranked fifteenth, only one step away from the relegation zone.
"It's really unbelievable. We were the fourth in the league last season and entered the UEFA Champions League qualifiers..."
"I don't think we should fight on both sides..."
"Officials in charge of finance don't think so much! Participating in the Champions League or the Europa League can make more money. In their eyes, only money is the most important thing!"
"Oh, we lost too many people last summer. The general manager, sports manager, head coach, and assistant coach all changed their bosses. I really can't figure out that other teams will clean up when they have poor results. Why did we clean up after we got the fourth place?"
"Stop talking, we even sold Casano and Pazini during the winter break..."
"I hate Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan... Those wealthy families just need to hook their fingers, and our people will run over obediently, just like seeing a dog with flesh bones..."
"Can't say that, Ferrano. This is the difference between a wealthy club and a small club like us. They have a fatal attraction to all players, and we don't..."
The topic unknowingly shifted from the reserve team game in front of him to the current situation of the first team. Sampdoria's performance last season made these fans crazy, and this season everyone was full of complaints, which was like a thrilling roller coaster.
Only Clarian Moretti did not participate in everyone's discussion. His eyes were always staring at Gao Zheng, hoping to find evidence to prove that his judgment was correct from the actual game.
When he saw Gao Zheng running two steps to his teammate's long pass, he stopped and gave up chasing. After the football was easily obtained by the Genoa defender, he pointed at Gao Zheng and shouted: "Why should I stop? Why not force me to go up!"
His movement caught the attention of others: "What happened, Clariant?"
"That big chopstick, there is something wrong with his attitude towards the game!" Moretti accused.
"That's just that teammates are spreading big, Clariant." Not everyone is excited to denounce the current situation of the team, but there are still people watching the game.
"Of course, he may not be able to catch the ball, but he should force it up, don't let the opponent easily get the ball, create chaos, or directly counterattack and launch an attack..." Clarian Moretti made a remark. "And he was just walking on the court, and it seemed that this lighthouse derby had nothing to do with him!"
"Maybe it's just just playing and hasn't entered the game yet..." Someone guessed.

Gao Zheng did not choose to press, of course there was his reason. When the Genoa defender was about to get the ball, he looked back and looked behind him. Not far behind him was the right back of Genoa reserve team. At this time, even if he went up to press the Genoa central defender who got the ball, the opponent would definitely pass the ball to the full-back teammate behind him.
The only one near the full-back player is himself. If he goes up, the defensive area he left behind needs other teammates to fill it up. The area where his teammates are located needs other teammates in other positions to fill it up. Just by tying one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, Sampdoria, who was originally in a complete formation, had a loophole that could not take care of himself at a certain link.
If the teammates do not come to fill the defensive area left by Gao Zheng, the opponent will pass the football to the fullback and push the offense up. In the end, Sampdoria will still make corresponding defensive transfers.
As long as you stay stuck here and face Sampdoria, whose overall formation remains complete, the opponent has a high chance of choosing to drive forward with a big foot and launching an attack with a simple and rough long pass. The success rate and short pass propulsion are different...
In a very short period of time when I looked back and observed, Gao Zheng made judgments, analysis and decisions in his mind.
There is no need to rush up and press. Apart from being very involved in the game, it is actually useless to change the situation of the game. Gao Zheng is unwilling to do such superficial skills, let alone waste his precious physical fitness. Bronney lets himself play in fifty minutes in this game, and he almost has to play a full half. Considering the intensity of the Lighthouse Derby, the physical energy consumed should be much more than usual games.
So Gao Zheng wisely chose the way to play "walk" in Clarian Moretti's eyes.
And the Genoa central defender who took the ball did kick the football in the frontcourt with a big foot.
Gao Zheng glanced at Icardi who was still standing in front, turned around and jogged slowly towards the middle circle, and retreated to respond.
The football flew from the air to Sampdoria's defensive third zone, and the centre-back Alberto Masi rushed forward and then jumped high, and before Genoa forward Longo, he pushed the flying football back. This kind of high ball, the defender who defended the front has an advantage over the forward who was back to the offensive direction.
The football fell back to the middle circle, where players from both sides jumped and competed for the top.
In the fight between each other, the football was pushed towards the area where Jelenic was located by Sampdoria's Sanpitro.
"Good!" While Jelenic was preparing to catch the ball, he did not forget to use words to mock the opponent.
But just as he was about to catch the ball, one foot suddenly stretched out from behind him, and gently hooked the flying football without any defense, and the ball passed over his head!
"Hey?!" Jelenic was still stopping the ball, his eyes wide open and stood there.

PS, let’s talk about yesterday’s game.
In fact, as a game, a 5:0 score does not mean that the game is exciting. Both sides made many mistakes in this game, and the scene is not exciting or intense. Fortunately, there were five goals, so this game is not too disappointing.
It is said that yesterday was Ramadan, the entire Saudi team did not eat. But there is no exact news about this at present, so it cannot be said that Saudi Arabia performed poorly because it did not eat. You should know that Benzema and Salah were also in the Ramadan period when they played in the Champions League final, but Benzema did not fast directly. Salah originally wanted to fast, but later changed his mind after persuasion. So in fact, the rules in this regard are not so strong, and the entire Saudi team can eat completely.
Saudi Arabia's poor performance is actually consistent. They have been defeated by consecutive World Cups, so I said on Weibo yesterday that Saudi Arabia is a tragedy machine - 0:4 to France in 1998; 0:8 to Germany in 2002; 0:6 to Ukraine in 2006; did not participate in 2010 and 2014, and escaped. However, although the tragedy will be late, it will not be absent. So this year when they returned to the World Cup stage, the tragedy also came back...
You should know that Saudi Arabia has long been a top-notch team in Asian football, but even so, it cannot change their defeat on the world stage. Asian football and world football are like two completely different worlds, the same difference between the human world and the fairy world.
By the way, if the Chinese team scored this World Cup and were fed five goals, I'm afraid the media on the domestic Internet would definitely be scolded. But there is nothing to scold. This is the gap between Asian football and world football. In Chinese football, the gap will only be even bigger. The Chinese team in 2002 was already the strongest, but the result is still the same. Before the game, everyone always had unrealistic expectations for the national team. Once the performance was not satisfactory, it would be overwhelming ridicule and criticism - we still have a long way to go...
Okay, after yesterday's game, there are three games today: Egypt vs. Uruguay at 8pm, Morocco vs. Iran at 11pm, and Portugal vs. Spain at 2am tomorrow.
I don’t plan to watch the second game anymore. I plan to go to bed early and get up in the middle of the night to watch the double-teeth battle.
So there are only two games between 8 o'clock and 2 o'clock in the morning when it comes to prediction.
Egypt and Uruguay, I think there is no suspense for Uruguay to win. The overall strength of South American powers still win over the new African army. Uruguay may win Egypt with two goals.
The match between Spain and Portugal is not easy to say. Of course, Spain's overall strength is better than Portugal, but changing coaches at the last match is too harmful to morale and too taboo. So I think Portugal may not have a chance to beat Spain with one goal.
Chapter completed!
