CHAPTER 98: GAOOOOOOOO!
"It's the eighty-fifth minute of the game...... Pozzi just squandered a great scoring opportunity and Sampdoria could miss out on winning this game as a result......" Sirio also mentioned. "But it doesn't matter, if you think they were behind before, it doesn't matter if it's a draw. For Accini, for Sampdoria, this draw could give them a nice respite, after all, Yacini has only been in charge of the team for two days...... On top of that, Sampdoria have a talented player in this game! ”
Of course, he was talking about Gao Zheng.
The TV broadcast also gave Gao Zheng a close-up.
Gao Zheng's long hair in the shot was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, but even this could not hide his handsome face, and even the narrator Sirio laughed and said: "Look at this handsome face!" After this game, he will definitely gain a lot of female fans! ”
Although Gao Zheng could clearly hear the cheers and applause that were given to him, he was not happy about it now.
Because the team hasn't won the game yet.
At the same time, there is less and less time left for him and his teammates.
It was the 68th minute when Yacini replaced him, and now it's the 85th minute, just a few minutes before the end of the game.
Every player should come on the pitch in a desperate pursuit of victory, not thinking that "a draw is acceptable".
Vicenza have all been reclaimed and are pleased with the twentieth placed team to snatch a point away from Sampdoria.
Pozzi and Piovacari were both in the Vicenza penalty area, raising their hands to signal their team-mates to pass the ball to them.
However, such passes were not efficient, and most of the passing was destroyed by the Vicenza defenders.
Even if Pozzi and Piowakari were able to grab the point, they would only miss the ball under the close interference of the defenders.
However, with little game time left, wide crosses are indeed the approach that most teams do. It can be said that at this time, this is already pinning hope on good luck to see if one can be caught under the indiscriminate bombardment.
Gao Zheng does not plan to guard in front of the door, although he is 1.9 meters tall, which is the tallest among the current three strikers.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't go into the restricted area at all. As a centre-forward, he can be flexible, but he can't stay away from goal forever, so he might as well play as a midfielder......
It's just how to get in, when to get in, that's where a player's ability is tested.
※※※
"Sampdoria organised the attack on the right flank again, and the right-back Rispoli hardly returned to defend during this period, completely changing from a right-back to a right-winger......"
As Sirio spoke, Rispoli received the ball from his teammate.
This time he didn't look up after receiving the ball, but chose to cross directly, and he wanted to catch the Vicenza defenders off guard.
However, it is difficult to say how accurate this hasty passing can be, and while playing the opposing defender by surprise, it may also catch his own teammates who are receiving in the middle by surprise......
So Rispoli's shot didn't go to goal, but to the back of the penalty spot, behind Pozzi and Piovacari.
Vicenza midfielder Evans Soligo, who retreated into the box, prepares to jump up and head the ball clear. Although he is only 1.76 meters tall, the ball is not very high, and he is still confident that he can push the ball out.
But just as he was jumping up to get his header, he saw that between him and the flying football, there was suddenly an extra foot!
The foot reached about the height of his head, and then used the outside instep to intercept the flying soccer ball - or more appropriately, stop!
Because when such a powerful cross hit the outside instep, it fell from the air obediently and landed in front of the owner of that foot!
"High!!" Cirio in the commentary box screamed.
In the second half, the Vicenza goal was just below the south stand of the Stadio Blassi, and all of Sampdoria's most die-hard fans could see how Gao Zheng managed to intercept the cross before Soligo.
They can also clearly see what Gao Zheng did after breaking the ball.
In front of everyone's eyes, Gao Zheng put down his right foot, faced the football that bounced up from the ground, and pulled his right foot out again!
Boom!
A positive instep volley!
When no Vicenza player reacted, the football was pumped into the near top corner of the goal by Gao Zheng!
Although Vicenza's goalkeeper Frieson raised his vigilance when Gao Zheng intercepted the football, he still didn't expect Gao Zheng's next connection action to be so fast, and he didn't even change his feet to adjust, and kicked the football directly towards the goal!
He made a save, but in the face of Gao Zheng's shot aimed at the near top corner, his save seemed powerless.
He didn't stop the ball from flying into the goal!
In the 88th minute, Sampdoria reversed the score!
This time, after the football crashed into the net, the Blasi Stadium did not fall into a short silence, but set off a huge wave for the first time!
“GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” Cyrio let out a long growl. He shouted Gao Zheng's surname, but it sounded like he was chanting "GOL".
Such roaring from the stands continued.
The whole grandstand of the Brassi Stadium seemed to be a stormy sea, and the wind swept up huge waves, which seemed to swallow everything in the world, but the proud and brave sailors would not flinch in such a storm, but would only stand proudly, lightning would illuminate their resolute faces, and thunder could not suppress their laughter from indulging heaven and earth.
That's what Sampdoria's home stadium should look like!
After this goal, Gao Zheng didn't call his teammates to catch the ball, he didn't look at the football in the goal anymore, he ran to the bottom of the South Stand, and then turned his body, using the Storm South Stand as the background, and opened his arms to welcome his teammates who pounced on him.
Photographers around the stadium kept pressing the shutter and recorded the scene with lenses of various focal lengths.
Commentator Sirio said excitedly: "Coming off the bench, two goals!" Help the team turn the score around, and there is still a lot of hope to win this game! That's all Gao did after coming on in the 68th minute! And remember, he's a player who hasn't played a minute in 14 league games, and he hasn't played in the first team before! Such a person, when Sampdoria encountered difficulties before, couldn't even make the squad...... I wonder if Atzori had changed his fortunes if he had switched high on the pitch in the last game against Brescia when he had used up his last substitution. But that's always a hypothesis, ha......"
In front of the TV, Atezori slammed the beer bottle he was holding into the TV, and the room fell silent for a moment, and Sirio's mockery and ridicule came to an abrupt end.
※※※
PS, this goal is inspired by Musa's first goal against Iceland in the World Cup, but Gao Zheng's legs are longer, and this action will be done more calmly and elegantly......
