Chapter 70 Starting
Gao Zheng really saw the fat boss and his son on the side of the court on the day of the game.
He was warming up on Sanquan Stadium at that time and heard someone shouting his name loudly.
He looked in the sound and saw the fat boss Porata and his son, who were wearing Sampdoria's jersey, and then turned to show Gao Zheng the number and name printed on the back of the jersey:
40.
GAO.
Gao Zheng was happy - this was his jersey number and name.
This father and son are so cute...
Then he turned his attention back to the hot.
And Porata and her son were about to return to their seats, and at this moment, they met Clarian Moretti.
"Are you watching the ball too?" Both of them asked such questions in unison.
Then they looked at each other and smiled.
"Your bakery is out of business today?" asked Moretti, who was fatter than Porata.
"It's just a day without business, it's no impact." Porata said indifferently. "How did you come?"
“Train…”
"That's great. Let's take our car back after watching the game!" Porata said enthusiastically.
Moretti widened his eyes: "You drove here?"
"certainly."
"God...it's hundreds of kilometers!" Moretti felt that the father and son were really crazy.
"Fortunately, it's less than 500 kilometers and it takes four and a half hours." Porata still cares. "When we go back together, there will be someone to chat. I'm afraid that I will fall asleep then..."
Moretti was naturally very welcome to this way of saving travel expenses. He nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, chat with you so that you won't drive your car into the sea, haha!"

After warming up and returning to the locker room, Brony announced the starting lineup of the game to the whole team.
What surprised everyone was that Gao Zheng, who had played as a substitute in every game, actually started in this game!
"Yeah!"
It was not Gao Zheng himself who made this cheer, but Alberto Masi. Of course, he was not alone. Other players were also very happy when they heard that Gao Zheng started.
In fact, they may hope that he can start more than Gao Zheng himself.
When Gao Zheng heard his starting lineup, his first reaction was not surprise, but surprise: "Hey, coach, can I play the whole game?"
Masi touched him with his elbow: How do you say it? Shouldn’t you thank the head coach at this time? What if you ask the head coach to reconsider your starting decision?
Bruney shook his head and said, "The starting lineup does not mean playing the whole game. If there is a problem with your physical fitness, I will definitely replace you."
"Oh, that's it, I understand." Gao Zheng nodded.
After reading the starting list, Bruno began to give everyone the final advice of this game.
"Roma shouldn't have expected that we would let high starts in this game, so their original tactical arrangement should be to attack with all their strength after the start, relying on the home advantage, hoping to break the deadlock as soon as possible and try to score a few more goals. So their efforts on defense will definitely not be as good as the offensive end... This is our opportunity."
"It is to make us score goals faster, the better, and the more goals we score, the better." Gao Zheng interrupted.
Bruney nodded: "Yes, you can attack at the beginning. If you can score, don't be weak."
When he said this, he looked straight at Gao Zheng, and the ardent expectation in his eyes could even see the fool.
This made Icardi, who was sitting on the other side, a little jealous - because he was the best scorer in the team, but everyone is always used to putting all their expectations on Gao Zheng.
He admitted that Gao Zheng was very powerful, but he didn't think there was much difference between him and Gao Zheng. He even thought that he and Gao Zheng were of the same level, far higher than other Sampdoria reserve players.
So why, when looking forward to scoring, even the head coach will turn his attention to Gao Zheng instead of himself?
Icardi was holding his energy in his heart and wanted to prove it to everyone in the game, especially to head coach Luciano Bruni. Maybe in other aspects, Gao Zheng is a little more comprehensive than him, but Icardi is professional in scoring goals!

In football games, starters often need to wait for the referee to lead before entering the court, and substitutes do not have such problems. They can leave the locker room early, enter the game field, sit down on the bench, and wait for the game to begin.
So when Roma reserve coach Lao De Rossi came out and found that Gao Zheng was not on the bench of Sampdoria's reserve team, he realized that Gao Zheng was the starter in this game!
This surprised him.
Based on his analysis of Gao Zheng, he believes that Gao Zheng's physical fitness is a big problem, so great that Sampdoria reserve coach Bruno can only let him come on as a substitute, but dare not let him start and then play all over the game.
This made Gao Zheng the "super substitute" of Sampdoria reserve team this season.
You should know that in the regular season, the schedule is not too intensive, so you can't start.
The playoff schedule is even more intensive, especially since the rage competition begins, there are three to four days apart between the quarter-finals and the semi-finals, and only three to four days apart between the semi-finals and the finals.
Such intensive events require more physical fitness.
Since Gao Zheng is not physically fit, why did the head coach of Sampdoria reserve team let him start in this final?
You should know that he participated in all the previous playoff games. Although he was a substitute, it did not mean that he had enough time to rest.
Moreover, the Sampdoria reserve team is away games in the playoffs, and running back and forth is a great expense to their physical fitness.
How could Gao Zheng have sufficient physical fitness to start the finals in such an environment?
He turned his head and looked at the coaching seat of Sampdoria reserve team.
He felt that he could see the problem that Sampdoria reserve coach Bruni could not have seen it.
Then why did he do this?

On the bench of Sampdoria reserve team, Tosey, the sports manager who followed the team away in this game, asked Bruno strangely: "You made the high start? Has his physical fitness met the standard?"
There was still a hint of excitement in his surprised tone - because if Gao Zheng's physical fitness was fine, it would clear his last obstacle to going to the first team.
But Bruni shook his head: "Of course, the standard has not been met, but if you want to win this game, you can only let the high starter come out. If we put him on the bench as usual and let him play again in the second half, it is possible that his appearance will be meaningless. The Roma reserve team is very strong, and in order to defeat them, we have to choose to take risks..."
Sure enough, after listening to Brunoy's explanation, Tosy was a little disappointed.
Bruni could feel Tosey's disappointment, and continued: "After the end of this season, he will be transferred to the first team anyway. His physical fitness and strength improvement is a long-term process. If possible, I suggest letting him start from the bench, which will be less stressful for him."
Tosy nodded repeatedly: "No problem, I will tell the first team coach Atzori..."
Just a few days ago, Sampdoria Club announced that former Regina coach Gianluca Atzori has become the team's new head coach and shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading the team to upgrade next season.
"But the most important thing is to give him enough playing time, rather than just throw it on the bench and ignore it. In fact, the B League is a good training occasion for players of this age. Other giants rent their young geniuses to play in the B League. We don't have to rent from the giants. We have our own geniuses, which is a very lucky thing." Brunoy was nagging as if he was explaining his funeral.
But Tosy didn't hear the emotions in Bruno's words, but just kept nodding: "No problem, no problem, Luciano. I promise to let the first team treat Gao Di well. He is a genius, we can all see..."
※※※
Old De Rossi suddenly thought that he had been considering why Gao Zheng started, but ignored a more important question:
The tactics he arranged before were based on the fact that Gao Zheng would not start and Sampdoria would have to defend. Roma would launch a fierce attack from the beginning of the game to strive to score first and score more goals.
Now that Gao Zheng starts on the court, he doesn't have time to adjust his tactics anymore...
Could it be that Rome wants to fight Sampdoria?

PS, Spain was actually eliminated by Russia's penalty...
Football is amazing!
However, Russia's performance in this game is indeed better than Spain and has a more combative spirit.
Chapter completed!
