Chapter 40 I'm too weak(1/2)
After conceding the ball for the first time, Palin was able to stand up and boost morale, and this time, he himself was deeply confused.
"Strange..." he murmured.
He felt more and more familiar with the tall figure, but he couldn't remember why he was so familiar.
While Perrin was stunned, Genoa reserve coach Corradi had made adjustments.
Now that Sampdoria reserve team has just equalized the score, morale will definitely rise sharply. This is their home court. They will definitely not accept the draw under such circumstances, so in the next game, they will definitely attack with all their strength.
And this is an opportunity for Genoa reserve team.
As long as you shrink your defense and play a defensive counterattack, you will definitely be able to wait for the opportunity to counterattack. At that time, you will definitely be very excited to defeat them at home in Sampdoria!
So he called Andre Donnelli, the captain of this game, to the sidelines, to give him the opportunity in person.
Next, Doneneli conveys the coach's latest instructions to other teammates.

Sampdoria fans in the stands are teasing Clariant Moretti: "Clariant, what are the weaknesses of that tall man you just said?"
Clarian spread his hands: "I don't remember!"
A pleasant laughter rang out from the stands: "Hahahahahahaha!"
From falling behind two goals to pulling back two goals, they are in a very good mood now.
"The guys in the reserve team are really full of vitality, completely different from the first team stars. I really should let the first team members come to the reserve team for a while!" Someone said angrily.
"Oh, don't think about unpleasant things at this time."
"There is still a first-team game tomorrow afternoon, and I still have hope. I don't believe that we, who are fourth in the season, will be able to be in the second division next season, hey!"
The topic quickly turned to the first team again.
In a football club, the first team is the top priority and the focus of everyone.

"Genoa has contracted its defense, is it trying to defend the draw?" On the sidelines, Sampdoria's assistant coach Casilio was puzzled.
"No, they want to defend and fight back," Bruney said.
Casillao raised his wrist and looked at the watch: "Twenty minutes left..."

After Gao Zheng scored a goal and assisted, the defense was even stricter.
While he was passing the football, he heard a scream, and then he jumped up with his body's sensitivity to fouls - perhaps the only benefit that serious injury brought to him back then.
Despite this, he was still a little slower. His shoe nails were hung up by something, almost causing him to lose balance. Fortunately, he just staggered after landing and did not fall to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, his teammate Sanpietro rushed over and roared behind him: "Jerenic, what the hell do you want to do!"
Gao Zheng turned around and saw Jelenic lying on the ground, maintaining a tackle posture.
He spread his hands and said to the angry Sanpietro: "I went to rush..."
The booed the Sampdoria fans also sounded in the stands. The fans were very dissatisfied with Jelenic's move just now, a tackle from the back. This move appeared in the professional league and would almost certainly get a card.
Considering that this is a lighthouse derby, even the reserve team's lighthouse derby is not as intense as that of the ordinary professional league. Before that, both sides had received a total of five yellow cards. The referee of this game, Mirco Manjaraldi, took out a yellow card from his pocket and signaled Jelenic to get up from the ground.
Jelenic climbed up from the ground and defended himself with an innocent look on his face: "I really went for the ball. I didn't meet him. Look, he is still standing well..." He pointed at Gao Zheng.
More Sampdoria players surrounded him: "What does your move mean, you know in your heart!"
Genoa players also rushed up to save their teammates and separated him from the Sampdoria players.
There was a little conflict between the two sides.
Masi did not go to Jelenic for trouble, but cared about Gao Zheng: "Are you okay?"
Since he learned that Gao Zheng's left foot had been sentenced to death, he has paid special attention to Gao Zheng's left foot, and he has even cared more about it than Gao Zheng himself...
Gao Zheng shook his head: "It's okay. He just rubbed my shoe nails, and it didn't mean he touched me..."
Massi frowned: "How can you speak for that bastard?"
"Be realistic." Gao Zheng smiled.
When Maxi thought that Gao Zheng took the initiative to confess the hidden dangers of his left foot to the coach and sports manager before signing the team, he suddenly felt that the Demon King was a little careless: "Honestness depends on people. If you are honest with a bastard like Jelenic, you will only hurt you in the end!"
Gao Zheng pointed to the yellow card in the referee's hand: "He is already going to take the card, I hope this can calm him down."
Maxi curled her lips: "I hope..."
With his understanding of Jelenic, he felt that this was completely impossible. But since Gao Zheng believed in others so sincerely, he seemed embarrassed to pour cold water on the kind and simple Gao Zheng...
※※※
No matter how Jelenic explained, he still received a yellow card.
Jelenic had to keep waving his arms to the referee and express his dissatisfaction with rich and exaggerated body language.
He was indeed dissatisfied and did not cause harm to Gao Zheng, but instead gave himself a yellow card, which he felt that he had lost.
And because of this yellow card, he had to be more careful in the next game. Now he has been on the referee's attention list, and at this time, he can only keep a low profile.
He looked at Gao Zheng.
This guy is really cheap...
But you have only one good luck, you're a big fool.
Next time, don't try to avoid it!
Before the game is over, prepare to cry and get out of the field, bastard!

After the game started for a while, Gao Zheng pulled out of the penalty area and retreated to the midfield. He waved his head left and right and looked at him. He was still in Stularo's defense zone, and the midfielder was staring at him, but he did not stick it up, otherwise there would be a gap behind him.
When Gao Zheng saw this scene, he turned his attention to other places, and he was looking for someone.
When he saw Jelenic, he smiled slightly, and then ran over slowly.
Gao Zheng, who ran over, did not immediately ask his teammate for the ball, but kept wandering in front of Jelenic's eyes and observing the situation on the field.
A few minutes later, when the football was passed here, he raised his hand to his teammates.
After the football came, Gao Zheng did not pass the football immediately, nor did he want to drive the ball forward. He stopped the football and looked up to observe the situation on the field. He seemed a little hesitant and didn't know where to pass the football.
Jelenic took this opportunity to lean on it, and he seemed very careful.
This time he didn't come up and just took a flying tackle because he still remembers that he had a yellow card on him...
However, when Gao Zheng looked up and observed that he had no control over the football under his feet, he was still a little itchy - isn't this a good opportunity to steal the ball?
The Sampdoria players seemed to trust this silly man quite well. When he got the ball, there was no one around him who could catch the ball at close range. If he could grab the ball from his feet, wouldn’t he have a high chance of taking the lead directly to launch a counterattack?
Once this idea was formed in Jelenic's mind, it would never be suppressed.
Thinking of this, Jelenic glanced at Gao Zheng secretly and found that the other party turned his head and looked to the side.
Chance!
Jelenic stretched out his foot and poked the football.
But just as his feet were stretched out, Gao Zheng, who seemed indifferent to the football under his feet, suddenly passed the football horizontally with the inside of his right foot. He jumped up as soon as he passed the ball.
At this time, Jelenic's foot also poked over and rubbed against Gao Zheng's right toe.
Meanwhile, a scream rang in Jelenic's ear.
When he came to his senses, he found that the silly man was lying in front of him, covering his right foot with his hands, his brows frowned into Roman numerals III, and his expression was very painful...
He was stunned, what's going on?
※※※
Sanpietro raised his arms again and shouted loudly.
Maxi rushed towards Gao Zheng who was lying on the ground.
The other Sampdoria players rushed to Jelenic again.
At the same time, the harsh booing of Sampdoria fans also sounded in the stands.
There is a short whistle in the boo.
Referee Manjaraldi ran to the scene of the accident with a whistle, and wanted to separate the players from both sides.
Sanpietro shouted to him: "That bastard has been several times! He did it on purpose! Mr. Referee, obviously he didn't take your warning seriously!"
Maxi, who rushed to Gao Zheng, grabbed his arm: "How are you? Your left foot is fine!" His voice was trembling.
Gao Zheng also grabbed Masi's arm with his back hand: "Be gentle, Alberto, you pinched me..."
"Where is it hurt? Is it my left foot?" Ma Xi became even more panicked, and the hand holding Gao Zheng's arm was even stronger.
"Of course, your arm hurts..." Gao Zheng took a breath, frowned and said in pain.
Anyone who sees this scene will think that Gao Zheng has suffered a very serious foul.
