Just after Gao Zheng scored twice in the game against Catania and led Icardi by as many as five goals in the scorer list, the Italian media's hype about the ownership of the Golden Boot suddenly became much less, and it could even be said to have almost disappeared.

This is in sharp contrast to the previous operations of constantly hyping up the Golden Boot competition.

However, everyone knows what's going on with this situation, because Gao Zheng is likely to win the Golden Boot this season.

If that's the case, there's nothing to discuss.

Strictly speaking, even if you lead by five goals, it doesn’t mean you will definitely get the Golden Boot.

Because the competition in the scorer list is different from the competition in the scorer list.

Winning a game on the standings is a three-pointer, drawing a game and losing zero points. These are all rules that are determined, so the final points can be calculated completely, and there is a theoretical upper or lower limit.

The scorer list is different. Players can not score a goal for four consecutive games, or they can score five yuan in a single game, instantly smoothing the gap between five goals.

Wasn't Gao Zheng like this when he was three goals behind Icardi? Some people still think that leading three goals is just as good as the advantage, but Gao Zheng scored a hat-trick in one game and tied it.

So the leading edge on the scorer list is sometimes hard to say.

In the next four games, no one knows whether Icardi will explode like Gao Zheng.

Didn’t he always say he wanted to defeat Gao Zheng? Since Gao Zheng can tie him in one game, he has to do what Gao Zheng did to be qualified to say he wants to defeat Gao Zheng?

Of course, scoring five goals in one game is indeed exaggerating. Even Gao Zheng has not scored as many as five goals in one game.

But it wouldn't be an exaggeration for a striker who will defeat Gao Zheng as his target, right?

In the 35th round of the league, Inter Milan will face Napoli at home.

Napoli ranks third in the season and performed well, but Inter Milan is at home and still has an advantage.

As a result, the final score of Inter Milan's home match against Naples was 0:0, neither side scored a goal. Icardi failed to score in two consecutive games, almost wasted the last chance to catch up with Gao Zheng.

Inter Milan and Naples kick off at 7:45 pm on Saturday, April 26.

Sampdoria's 35th round of the league will not kick off at 2 o'clock the next afternoon.

Icardi's failure to score a goal means no pressure for Gao Zheng.

Even if he doesn't score in this game, he can maintain a five-goal lead against Icardi. As for others, it does not pose a threat to him at all.

In the same day as Sampdoria but finished earlier, Luca Toni, who played for Verona, performed well in the game, contributing an assist and a goal, but his number of goals was only nineteen, which was far from Gao Zheng.

In the home game between Sampdoria and Chivo, Chivo scored first.

Perhaps because Gao Zheng ranks first in the scorer list and there is basically no suspense in defending the Golden Boot, Sampdoria players have some of the motivation and fighting spirit to fight.

After the start of this game, Sampdoria did not play well.

However, Chiwo, who needs relegation, is very active.

In the 65th minute, central defender Mustafi tackled Chivo's offensive player Obinna from behind in the penalty area, not only giving herself a red card, but also giving Chivo a penalty kick.

And Chievo took the lead with this penalty.

Sampdoria was in a dilemma of beating one less person.

Then Sampdoria became nervous and bombarded the team until the first minute, when Berardi equalized the score for the team.

This is his tenth league goal this season. Although it is not as good as Icardi's fifteen goals in his debut in the top league, this performance is also very good, enough to make Sampdoria fans forget the traitor Icardi and are full of expectations for Berardi's prospects in the team.

Many people know that Gao Zheng is destined to leave Sampdoria. After Gao Zheng leaves, the team's heavy responsibility for scoring may fall on Berardi... So he was able to use the opportunity of playing football beside Gao Zhen to work hard to improve himself, and everyone was very happy.

The draw was a completely acceptable result for Sampdoria. After the equalization, there were ten minutes left in the game, and Sampdoria slowed down again.

But the repertoire that is time to come is here.

At the 91st minute, Gao Zheng took advantage of a direct free kick opportunity to score a goal that reversed the final score for the team.

This is also his 27th goal this season.

"High! Beautiful goal, the final game! Even if his competitors may have given up chasing him on the scorer list, he has not lowered his requirements for himself! This is his fourth consecutive round of goals! I think this may be one of the reasons why he was able to win the league Golden Boot! No matter how the environment changes, no matter how the situation changes, his pursuit of goals is consistent!"

In the end, with Gao Zheng's 91st minute goal, Sampdoria defeated Chievo 2:1 at home.

In another game played at the same time, Immobile, who played for Turin, also scored a goal, increasing the number of goals to twenty-one, which tied Icardi, but there was still six goals away from Gao Zheng, who also scored the goal.

In the 36th round of the league, Sampdoria challenged Parma away. Although Sampdoria lost the away game in this game, Gao Zheng still scored a goal.

In this way, his personal goals reached the 28th goal.

Icardi, who treats him as his competitor, has fallen into a goal drought of not scoring for three consecutive rounds of games.

In the Milan derby, Inter Milan lost away to his city rival AC Milan. Icardi played the whole game but failed to equalize the score for the team.

After the game, Genoa's "Nineteenth Century" joked that Icardi was scared by Gao Zheng's performance since the match against Sampdoria, which led to his current state being gone.

The 19th Century News also announced in advance that the league's top scorer of this season belongs to Gao Zheng, and no one can steal this honor from Gao Zheng anymore.

In this way, Gao Zheng will win the Serie A Golden Boot for two consecutive seasons.

There have been eleven of those who have been able to win the Serie A top scorer for two consecutive seasons in Serie A's history for more than 80 years. The most recent one is Udinese captain Dinatale, who won the Serie A Golden Boot in the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 seasons.
