Chapter 164: The First Record

Referee Tomasi waved his hand to disperse the players from both sides, and the decision was made.

Sampdoria was awarded a free kick more than 30 metres from the goal, a little to the left, and Gao Zheng leaned over to place the football.

The Sassuolo players built a wall in front of him.

Mazzolati was among them, and he looked at Gao Zheng coldly.

"Gao is going to take this free-kick, he did have a record of scoring from a free-kick in a game, but only once...... This free kick is a little off, which is not a particularly good shooting angle, but it is not impossible to shoot directly, it depends on how Gao handles this ball......"

In the process of Gao Zheng placing the football, the Sassuolo fans in the stands of Alberto Braglia Stadium did not stop booing Gao Zheng for a moment.

Even if the football is set up, the human wall is also put up, and the boos have not stopped.

In the boos, Gao Zheng retreated and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

The boos were so loud that he had to turn his head to look at the referee and judge whether he could kick the ball by his gestures rather than the whistle.

He saw the referee make a gesture to kick the ball, and then he withdrew his gaze and started running, and after two steps, he ran behind the football, then raised his right foot and kicked it towards the ball.

In his free-kick training time and time again, this action has been done too well.

He didn't even have to think about it, his whole body seemed to move automatically, and in extreme time, the instep of his right foot hit the football.

With a bang, the football soared into the air, drew an arc, bypassed the human wall, and drilled straight into the near corner of the goal!

Sassuolo goalkeeper Angelo da Costa saw the ball coming from behind the wall and into the near corner, and it was too late to make a save, and while he was still in the air, the ball had already grazed the underside of the crossbar and drilled into the goal!

The boos over the Alberto Braglia Stadium stopped abruptly as if someone had pressed the mute button!

"Wow!!" Sirio shouted, "The ball is in!!" High! Just eight minutes into the game, he opened the scoring with a direct free-kick! Sampdoria have a perfect start! ”

"Beautiful! It's beautiful!! The international students in the bar raised their arms and shouted and jumped up from their seats.

"Handsome guy has scored!" Xiao Yingying hugged Feng Shiyu next to her and screamed again and again, which made Ma Huanyang envious.

The more than 1,000 Sampdoria fans who travelled with the squad also cheered – the first time they had been heard in this game.

Mazzolati in the human wall jumped up violently when Gao Zheng kicked the football, trying to use his height advantage to expand the defensive range of the human wall, but the football flew over his head.

He looked back with the ball to see where it ended up and saw it go into the goal......

After landing, he still maintained this action of turning around and looking, as if he couldn't believe his eyes - it was just the first free kick of the game, and the position was not good, why did he score like this?

You know, Sampdoria scored this free kick because of his foul......

His eyes staring at Gao Zheng became even colder.

An oversight of his own did not expect to cause the team to concede a goal...... While his teammates don't blame him, Mazzolati can't help but blame himself.

This is the last time, really, I swear to God, this is definitely the last time you will be so arrogant in front of me!

He looked at Gao Zheng, who was celebrating the goal with his teammates, and secretly swore in his heart.

"Hah! Perfectly planned! In front of Sampdoria's dugout, assistant coach Carrillo smiled at head coach Marc Jacini and said he was happy that he had scored less than 10 minutes into the game, which was exactly what the coaching staff had planned before the game and wanted to see.

Of course, they know that the lack of physical ability is a weakness that everyone knows is Gao Zheng's weakness, and it is impossible for Sassuolo manager Pia not to make corresponding arrangements for this.

He will definitely let his players keep a close eye on Gao Zheng, and there will be a lot of physical contact in the process, and fouls will not be avoided.

As long as there is a foul in the right position, Sampdoria will be given a free kick opportunity.

And Gao Zheng has been practicing free kicks for himself, so the members of the coaching staff are very clear about Gao Zheng's current level of free kicks.

This led the coaching staff to the natural idea that if you Sassuolo are going to defend against Gao Zheng, why don't we take advantage of that?

If you foul Gao Zheng, let Gao Zheng take a free kick, as long as Gao Zheng can score a goal, it can form a very strong deterrent to Sassuolo's players, so that they can weigh it the next time they defend Gao Zheng.

So in this game, the Sampdoria coaching staff made arrangements for Gao Zheng to take all close-range free kicks.

It's just that to their surprise, Gao Zheng scored in the first free kick of this game......

Contrary to the elated Sampdoria dugout, Sassuolo's dugout was furious at the goal.

"What the!" Assistant coach Andrei Tarotzi couldn't help but curse.

As the head coach, Pia was also unhappy with the goal, but he still had to keep a calm mind and avoid affecting the players on the field.

As a manager, you always have to be more calm.

He said to his assistant: "Relax, Andrey. Luckily, the goal was conceded early, so we still have time and a chance. There is no such thing as an away goal advantage in the play-offs, as long as we can win in the end. ”

"I'm worried that conceding so early will affect the morale of the team......

"I believe in them, and they won't mess up because of this one goal."

“GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!”

On the rostrum of Alberto Brallia, Ricardo Garrone, the president of Sampdoria Club, jumped up from his seat after Gao Zheng's goal, and in front of Squenzey, the owner of Sassuolo Club next to him, he waved his fist to celebrate the goal, and roared loudly, completely unaware that he was a terminally ill patient.

Next to him, Skunzi kept a straight face, like his father had just died. Unlike Bonato, he made no secret of his dissatisfaction with the goal. He also didn't care that the media captured his expression, saying that he had no grace.

The war of words between himself and Gao Zheng has come to this, what kind of demeanor do you need!

The humility of a gentleman could not help his team to get back on the scoresheet......

After celebrating the goal, Garrone sat down, and then smiled at the next Skunzi: "Sorry, Mr. Skunzi, I'm so excited, you know that I have been waiting for the day to return to the first division since the relegation of the team last season, ha, I hope you don't mind too much!" ”

Skunzi forced out a smile: "It's too early to say whether to upgrade or not, Mr. Garrone." ”

"Ha, it's a bit early, that's why I said I'm too excited." Garrone didn't care about Skunzi's attitude, and still had a smile on his face.

Berardi in the stands was still watching the game with his teammates in the reserves.

Everyone wants Sassuolo to be promoted to the first division, and Berardi is no exception.

But when he knew that the play-off final opponent was Sampdoria, Berardi always had a hidden concern in his heart.

Especially after seeing the conflict between Gao Zheng and the club's president, Mr. Skunzi, this concern has expanded a lot.

When Gao Zheng scored the goal just now, there were sighs and sighs all around him.

Babuti cursed Gao Zheng: "That's obviously a fake fall!" The referee is too easily deceived by the exaggerated action of falling to the ground! If he had been fouled by that level of foul, how could he have scored a free-kick so easily? It's obviously pretending, liar! But it's really in line with Chinese's image......"

Berardi frowned when he heard this, and it was very inappropriate to blame the grievances on the field on race and nationality.

"Shut up, Babouti." Berardi turned back to Babuti, who was sitting behind him. "That's a foul indeed, it's nothing to wash."

"Yo, you're finally exposed, you spiritual Chinese! Who exactly are you talking for? "Babuti seems to be coming hard.

"I don't help anyone, but I know that respecting the opponent and slandering and belittling the opponent will not help us win. If the opponent plays well, he plays well, when we make a mistake, we make a mistake, and it doesn't matter who we support or who we don't support. I like high, but I also support Sassuolo to win. Berardi said with a grimace. Even if you call Gao the worst person in the world, it won't change the fact that we are now one goal behind. In fact, I don't think it's necessarily good as a player if you play with that kind of thinking. ”

After a serious lecture on Babuti, Berardi turned back and ignored the embarrassed expression of Babuti behind him, who really did not expect Berardi to say these words so seriously.

He couldn't even refute it, because what people said made sense, and it would be unreasonable for him to refute it......

He could only snort heavily, and at the same time hoped that Sassuolo would defeat Sampdoria, and that Gao Zheng would be completely frozen by Sassuolo's defense, and there would be no chance to play again!
