Chapter 58: Bad Confrontation
Desilio raised his arms and apologized to his teammates: "My fault, I didn't follow him right away..."
"It's not your fault, Mattia." Central defender Albertazi comforted his teammates, "That's high."
The others were also a little dull, and goalkeeper Picitelli, who lost the ball, sighed and said nothing.
He had already tried his best to stretch his arms when he jumped in the air, but Gao Zheng's shooting was too fast, so his reaction was still half a beat slower.
The football had already flown into the goal and his arm was swinging to the highest point.
They all played with Gao Zheng before, and they knew how powerful Gao Zheng was. During training, these defensive players were always tortured by Gao Zheng...
Soon, a teammate brought them the latest instructions from the coach's seat: "The coach said, let's strengthen the physical confrontation against high..."
The group of people were stunned when they heard this instruction.
They all know that Gao Zheng’s physical ability to fight is not strong, and it has been like this since U15 and U16.
In addition, they also knew that Gao Zheng had been seriously injured.
So it is self-evident what the coach's arrangement means.
This is to let them specifically target Gao Zheng's weaknesses.
From a tactical point of view, there is nothing wrong with this...
However, I was a teammate for many years, and I finally met and didn't even care about reminiscing about the past, so I had to fight each other. For the sake of victory, I had to deliberately target his weaknesses... Not everyone could turn this corner at once.
But soon they made a choice: "Do as the coach said. When we win this game, we will invite that boy Gao to dinner!"
"good!"

When the game started again, Gao Zheng's defensive level was up one level compared to before, mainly reflected in physical confrontation.
"Tsk tsk. Everyone knows that high body is not good for fighting..." said Casilio, assistant coach of Sampdoria reserve team.
"It's nothing strange to draw such a conclusion by just looking at his figure." Bruney said from the side.
"What adjustments are needed?" Casillaio asked Bruni.
Bruney shook his head: "No need. There is nothing to adjust. It's his own problem. He has to deal with it himself. This is just a reserve team game. He will go to a real professional game sooner or later. At that time, his physical confrontation will be much better than now."
He sat on the coach's seat with a golden sword.
"Let's watch him perform, Alfredo."

Gao Zheng was hit hard by Strathor from the side, and his body tilted and fell to the ground.
When he fell to the ground, he hadn't forgotten to hook the football back.
But Desilio rushed up from the side and poked the ball away.
The referee did not call the foul, but signaled the game to continue.
"His body is still as bad as ever..." Philip Galley commented after seeing this scene. "How can such a physical confrontation be able to get a chance in the first team? There was no problem with termination of the contract at the beginning... With his body, there is no big future for us to stay here."
Stropa didn't say anything, just looked at the stadium.
Gao Zheng slowly got up from the ground. AC Milan's offense had already played half of the game, and he had no intention of rushing back to help defend.
Carmona took the ball in the frontcourt and cut from the left, but in the process of dribbling, he was cut off by Alberto Masi with a clean tackle.
Sampdoria quickly launched a counterattack.
The AC Milan player who lost the ball quickly returned to defense.
Their retreat was very fast, which made Philip Galley exclaim satisfied: "Not bad!"
This post is convenient to start from the morale of U16. With the continuous training of U17, U18, U19, etc., the cooperation is very tacit. Among them, Michelangelo Albertazi is a genius who is highly anticipated by the club and is considered to be the New Maldini.
When the football was handed over to Gao Zheng's feet, AC Milan had already built a complete line of defense at the front of the penalty area.
The counterattack became a positional war.
Gao Zheng was not in a hurry, turned around and passed the football back, then jogged slowly to the next position.
Sampdoria reserve team passed the football a lap, but still didn't find a good opportunity. The AC Milan reserve team's defense is indeed very compact and dense.
When the situation was always in trouble, the football was passed to Gao Zheng again.
This time before Gao Zheng received the ball, Strathor pushed him behind him and pushed him out with force.
Gao Zheng leaned back, and one hand was still pressing against Strathor, and he was pushed out little by little. It seemed that he could not compete with Strathor's power at all.
But just when everyone thought Gao Zheng could only choose to pass the football back, he gently tweaked the football behind him with the outer instep of his left foot, and then suddenly turned around!
Although he was picked by Gao Zheng once, Strathor seemed to be unable to adapt to the "settings" of a person like Gao Zheng's tall but very flexible, so he was half a beat slower.
Facing Gao Zheng who was about to wipe him, he could only reach out and pull him.
This time Gao Zheng was pulled to the ground, and the referee was no longer indifferent. He whistled and awarded Sampdoria reserve a free kick about thirty meters away from the goal.
The position is a little right.
Strathor felt a little wronged. He thought that he had just pulled a little, and his strength was not enough to make Gao Zheng fall.
He even thought Gao Zheng was a fake fall...
However, the referee saw it very clearly and did not change his penalty.
AC Milan players began to put on walls.
After Gao Zheng won a free kick for the team, he was going to walk away, but at this moment, Nenad Kosticic, who took the free kick, called him: "Gao, you can play this ball."
Gao Zheng pointed at himself with some surprise: "Me?"
"Yes, you." Kostici stuffed the football into Gao Zheng's arms.
"But I can't play free kicks, I haven't practiced..."
"It's okay, you originally won this free kick. Besides, if I were to come, I would have come by myself in other games, but this is against AC Milan." Kostici waved his hand and walked away.
Everyone knows the story between Gao Zheng and AC Milan. He scored a goal on the court, which also shows that he feels very good, so no one objected to this free kick for him.
Gao Zheng had no choice but to put the football on the turf himself.
But he has never played a free kick, but has never eaten pork and hasn't seen a pig run? He has never played a free kick himself and has seen others kick a free kick. I still know how to play it.
If you haven't practiced it specifically, it's hard to say the accuracy...
After setting up the football, he stepped back and prepared to run.
In front of him, 9:15 meters away from him was the wall of AC Milan, with many acquaintances inside.
They were also surprised to see Gao Zheng coming to take the free kick, and they all looked shocked.
Gao Zheng looked at them like this and suddenly thought that these people had never seen him play free kicks, so he definitely didn't know how he would play and how they defend...
Maybe this is an opportunity?

PS, sorry, I was watching the game yesterday and forgot to set up automatic updates...
Make up now.
The two goals in the early morning were hard to describe. Ronaldo was able to miss a penalty. In both games, he decided to score through VAR. Portugal almost died at Iran's feet...
I was so nervous that I forgot to set up updates.
Chapter completed!
