After defeating Genoa reserve at home, the away game between Sampdoria reserves and Bologna reserves was postponed to April 19 last week. Today's home game against Cesena reserves is the first game after the Lighthouse derby.

But there are much fewer fans who come to watch the game on site than in the last game.

It seems that in the reserve team, apart from the key games of the Lighthouse Derby and the playoffs, there are not many people watching the ball in other games.

Gao Zheng still did not start in this game, and he continued to sit on the bench.

The starting strikers are Icardi and Testaldi.

Although Gao Zheng had a very wonderful performance in the game against Genoa, Bruno still did not change his plan for Gao Zheng - not to force growth, consolidate the foundation, and play steadily, and try not to trigger the "thunder" on his left foot.

In the last game, Gao Zheng played almost halftime, and Gao Zheng was really hard-working. As a result, in the post-match training, Bronney's coaching staff found that Gao Zheng's physical fitness had not fully recovered, and he seemed a little tired during training, and the training effect was not as good as before. You should know that this was the premise of having a day off after the game.

This shows that Gao Zheng's physical fitness is still far from the requirement to play the whole game.

Gao Zheng did not object to such an arrangement. Of course, he knew his current situation. He trusted Bronney's arrangement for him and did not think that the head coach was deliberately suppressing him.

But Masi and the others are not very understanding. They think the head coach is confused and don’t need to let the big devil be replaced every game. Isn’t this a waste of resources?

In this game, Masi was also placed on the bench.

He muttered to Gao Zheng sitting next to him, "You are so open-minded..."

Gao Zheng laughed when he heard this: "I have experienced something worse. I just play as a substitute. What can I not be out of my mind?"

"I can't argue if you say that..."

"Another substitute?" Clarian Moretti was surprised to see that Gao Zheng was not among the eleven starting players. He thought that with Gao Zheng's performance in the lighthouse derby, he should definitely be able to start in this game, right?

"It's again? Is he a substitute every game?" Porata next to him asked curiously.

"He was in the fiftieth minute of the last Lighthouse derby," Moretti explained.

Completed a hat trick in 40 minutes and helped the team defeat the city's archenemy 4:2. Such a performance is not enough to make him start?

Porata thought to himself that he didn't understand how the reserve coach arranged it.

Ten minutes after the game began, Sampdoria reserve team conceded the goal.

In fact, the performance of Sampdoria reserve team in the reserve league this season is very mediocre. Before Icardi and Gao Zheng appeared, Sampdoria reserve team had almost no highlights.

Even if Icardi comes, he has not significantly improved the team's performance. Icardi is a pure shooter after all, and needs the support of his teammates. If his teammates are not good, his ability will be discounted.

However, when Gao Zheng started playing in the game and scored four goals in two games, the deeply stimulated Icardi worked harder and more active than before.

So eleven minutes later, he equalized the score for Sampdoria Reserve.

After scoring the goal, Icardi waved his fist to the bench.

"I'm demonstrating to you again," said Masi.

Gao Zheng smiled slightly but did not respond.

The game was in a deadlock next time.

Both sides had some opportunities, but neither of them seized it.

At the end of the first half, Sampdoria reserve team also received bad news - front midfielder Nikola Muratore was injured and unable to hold on to the game and was replaced by Nenald Kostic.

After the start of the second half, Gao Zheng was not replaced like in the previous game.

In the fiftieth minute, Bruno used the second substitution, and he replaced Luca Rizzo with Bruno Maltra.

"There is only one substitution, why don't Gao go on the court?" Porata was very dissatisfied with the decision of the reserve team head coach. He came to see Gao Zheng play football. If Gao Zheng doesn't play, wouldn't he have a waste of time? To be honest, he is not interested in the reserve team game at all...

Moretti didn't say anything, just stared at the stadium.

Compared with the last lighthouse derby, this game is far inferior in intensity and excitement. This is the norm for reserve team competitions, so how can exciting games be common?

Gao Zheng and Masi were once again called to warm up by assistant coach Casilio, just to prevent them from getting cold when they were sitting on the bench, and it does not mean that they can play at the end of the warm-up.

"After two consecutive victories, I originally thought we had hope to make it to the playoffs this time, but now it seems very unsatisfactory. What is the head coach thinking? You don't need to put your big killer weapon..." While warming up, Maxi complained to Gao Zheng beside him.

"Maybe the coach is waiting for an opportunity?" Gao Zheng replied.

"Waiting for an opportunity? What opportunity?"

While warming up, Gao Zheng looked at the stadium: "Waiting for the other party to win this game?"

Just after he finished speaking, the game was in a dead ball state, and the visiting team Cesena reserve team replaced them. They replaced the left back Andre Marozi with center Alejandro Rodriguez, and adjusted the original five defender to four defenders, and the formation changed from 541 to 442.

Cesena reserve coach Massimo Agostini showed off his killer move and was about to attack!

When the substitutes of Sampdoria reserve team returned warm-up, Gao Zheng was stopped by assistant coach Casilio and did not let him return to the bench.

"Prepare to play, high."

Maxi stared at Gao Zheng with wide eyes, but unexpectedly he was really called by the Demon King! When the other party made changes, the head coach also made adjustments...

He now doubted whether the Great Demon King had received any hint from the head coach in advance, otherwise why did he say so accurately?

PS, OK, Egypt lost two goals to Russia, it’s really not my fault for this game... How could I think Russia, who was fighting at home, was like the Soviet Red Army that surrounded Moscow back then...

Today, Portugal played against Morocco at 8 o'clock. I was worried that Ronaldo would be in good shape in the first game and that this game would be lost. After all, the earlier the condition comes out, the easier it is to lose strength.

Morocco has lost to Iran, and this game cannot be lost... I am more optimistic about the two teams drew.

There is no suspense in the match between Uruguay and Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay will beat Saudi Arabia with three goals!

In the middle of the night, Spain's performance in the first game, there is no problem in defeating Iran in this game. The suspense is just a few goals to win. I think Spain will also beat Iran three goals.

Don’t say I’m a beacon, if I have a beacon in these two games, I will not be alive. Is Spain likely to lose three goals to Iran? Can Uruguay lose three goals to Saudi Arabia?
Chapter completed!
