When Carmona, who started in this game, walked onto the court with his teammates, he finally saw the legendary Gao Zheng.

He was wearing a coat and sitting on the bench, looking ordinary, completely different from what Desilio said. This disappointed Carmona a little.

So he said to Desilio who was standing beside him: "Look, Mattia, that Gao is just a substitute. If he is really good, why doesn't Sampdoria's head coach let him start? I think maybe Gao was really good before, but he was injured. After leaving AC Milan, his level may not be as high as you said."

Desilio stared at Gao Zheng in a daze.

It is a little different from Gao Zheng in his memory. Both appearance and temperament have changed.

He had long hair and looked very quiet when sitting alone on the bench. If he hadn't known him, he would have been easily overlooked. Although he was 1.9 meters tall, he was not like the kind of person who could be noticed at a glance.

This is completely different from what he was at AC Milan U16.

At that time, no matter where he was, he could be found at a glance. He was always the most eye-catching and dazzling one.

What exactly happened to him during this period from leaving Vismara to playing football in Sampdoria Reserve?

Desilio fell into deep doubts and did not have time to answer Carmona.

Not only Desilio, but other players in AC Milan also focused on Gao Zheng when they appeared.

Some of them are Gao Zheng’s former teammates, such as Simeone Veldi, who had served as a substitute for Gao Zheng at U16. Some people have not played with Gao Zheng very much, but have heard of him, such as Simeone Carvano, a midfielder who transferred from Atlanta reserves to AC Milan reserves in January last year.

Gao Zheng was also observing the AC Milan players on the court, and he recognized many familiar faces.

Simeone Verdi, Andrea DeVito, Michelangelo Albertazi, Nicola Pasini, Ricardo Picitelli...

Compared with the heavily changing midfield lineup, the defense line remains relatively stable.

This scene also made Gao Zheng feel a little sad. When he left Vismara, he really didn't expect that he would come back one day.

So he raised his hand to the familiar faces and greeted them.

Hi guys, I didn’t expect me, Hu Hansan, to be back, right? Ha!

Carmona asked Desilio next to her in surprise: "What is he doing?"

Desilio also said somewhat surprised: "Uh...I think he should be saying hello to us."

"Say hello?" Carmona widened her eyes. What is this?

Desilio did not answer his words. The Gao Zheng he saw today was very different from the Gao Zheng he had in his impression. If it weren't for his appearance and figure, he would have doubted whether he had recognized the wrong person...

He doesn't remember Gao Zheng mentioning that he has a twin brother...

After a simple pre-match ceremony, the game begins.

Stropa was not very surprised that Gao Zheng was unable to start, because he had carefully studied Gao Zheng's game information on Sampdoria reserve team. So far, all his games have been played as a substitute, with playing time ranging from forty minutes to ten minutes, and there seems to be no rules.

For example, his first appearance with a record-breaking Sampdoria reserve was when Sampdoria reserves challenged Parma reserves away. He only played fourteen minutes in that game, and then he had forty minutes of playing time in the second Lighthouse Derby.

As for why Sampdoria reserve coach Brony must let Gao Zheng play as a substitute, Stropa didn't understand very well.

However, judging from the data, even if Gao Zheng came on as a substitute, he scored seven goals. This performance is naturally far worse than his AC Milan U16 back then, but in Sampdoria's reserve team, he is already the fourth in the team's scorer list.

According to statistics, Gao Zheng should be the starter of Sampdoria's reserve team, but why is he sitting on the bench?

Stropa couldn't figure it out.

On the court, when the game started, AC Milan players focused on the game itself.

To be honest, if Gao Zheng didn't play, they really didn't take the Sampdoria reserve team in front of them seriously.

With their strength, they should easily defeat their opponents and enter the second round.

But as the game progressed, the players of these AC Milan reserve team realized that the situation was different from what they had imagined.

When preparing for the game, both the players and the head coach were just focusing on Sampdoria's attack line.

Mauro Icardi scored a goal, and Gao Zheng and the others dared not take it lightly.

As for Sampdoria's defense line... no one cared about it.

As a result, when they attacked the goal of Sampdoria Reserve, they found that Sampdoria Reserve's defense was not as weak as they imagined...

Twenty minutes passed, and the frontcourt attackers of AC Milan reserve team were unable to break through the goal of Sampdoria reserve team!

Especially in an attack that just ended, AC Milan reserve team made a successful cooperation in the frontcourt. Seeing the football into the penalty area of ​​Sampdoria reserve team, Simeone Verdi raised her foot and was about to shoot. As a result, just before him, Alberto Masi took the lead and kicked the football out of the baseline. Although he gave AC Milan reserve team a corner kick, he did not directly concede the ball.

Verdi never expected Masi to appear so promptly and decisively. He hugged his head with both hands, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Masi glanced back at him and snorted coldly in his heart: "Compared with the great devil, that Argentinian combination, such an offense is much better to defend!"

Although Gao Zheng and Icardi were abused into a dog during training, everyone complained, but now Maxi believes that the teammates on the defense must have the same idea as him, that is, thank the Great Devil for being a sparring training for them.

AC Milan reserves are not prepared for Sampdoria reserves' tenacity in defense, and when they encounter resistance in the offense, they become impatient.

Impatient does not help them score goals, but will drag them down.

So at the end of the first half, the score on the field was 0:0.

The Sampdoria reserve team used all their strength to let go. They had no spare energy to attack and it was normal for them to not score goals.

AC Milan reserve team bombarded Sampdoria in the first half but failed to score a goal, which was not normal.

This result made Stropa look bad--his focus before was on Gao Zheng and Icardi, but he didn't expect that the defense line of the Sampdoria reserve team, which he did not pay attention to, made him suffer.

He failed to take the lead in the first half, and he still had to worry about Gao Zheng who didn't know when he would appear in the second half...

Stropa was in a bad mood.

PS, yesterday's match between Germany and Sweden, the final final victory was really exciting.

I wrote all my thoughts about this game in the official account linhaitingtao11 (Linhaitingtao Pavilion). Everyone is welcome to read it.

As for today's game...

There is no suspense for England to beat Panama in three goals.

The match between Japan and Senegal is quite interesting, and I am more optimistic that Senegal will beat Japan with two goals.

In the early morning of tomorrow, Poland and Colombia, I think Poland will beat Colombia with one goal!
Chapter completed!
