Chapter 169: Everything is under control

Hearing Ricardo Garrone's words, Skunzi's lungs were about to explode, but he could scold Gao Zheng head-on, but he couldn't do anything with Garone.

Everyone knows that Garone is now terminally ill and in poor physical condition, and if he and Garone have an argument, it will be a shame for him to win or lose.

So Skunzi can only hold his breath in his heart now, and at the same time hope that his team can find a place for himself in the game.

It's just that Gao Zheng's hat trick seems to have made Sassuolo stupid, and until the end of the first half, Sassuolo did not have a decent counterattack.

"The first half is over! With a hat-trick of high, Sampdoria led Sassuolo 3-0 away and almost finished in the first division...... Once again, there is no away goal advantage in the promotion play-offs...... But it's not a big deal, it's a huge advantage to have a three-goal lead on aggregate......"

In Sirio's commentary, players from both sides walked off the pitch.

Gao Zheng and Pelle walked together, the two covered their mouths, not knowing what they were talking about, but judging from the relaxed expressions on their faces, they were in a good mood.

Of course, whoever leads the opponent by three goals in the first half will be in a good mood.

Pelle was saying to Gao Zheng: "Actually, I don't think you need to play the whole game, this score can completely allow you to go down early to rest and prepare for the second round......

Gao Zheng smiled and said, "No, Graziano." I want to turn a two-round match into a one-round match. ”

"Huh? And what about the second round? ”

"In the second leg, I went back to my home stadium to celebrate the upgrade."

※※※

In the locker room, head coach Yacini did not have to replace Gao Zheng in the second half in advance because he had a three-goal lead in the first half, and he also emphasized to his players that the decision to let Gao Zheng play the whole game will not change.

“…… A three-goal lead is something to be happy about, but don't assume that a three-goal lead is a sure win. It is not uncommon in football history to lead by three goals and then lose a game. Yacini said to the relaxed players with a serious expression.

"Remember, at any given time, the game is only over when the referee blows the final whistle."

On Sampdoria's side, Accini was reminding his players not to celebrate early, while Sassuolo's manager Pia was a little helpless against players whose morale had hit rock bottom.

He had a lot of plans before the game, but none of them matched what happened today.

He knew the war of words between Gao Zheng and the team owner Skunzi before the game, and he also knew the grievances between Gao Zheng and the team he coached, he guessed that Gao Zheng would score goals in this game, but he didn't guess that Gao Zheng would score three goals in one go, and it only took half a game.

As a manager, he himself is a bit messy, how can he adjust the mentality of his players?

Sassuolo's players weren't much better than their coaches, and Gao Zheng's first two free-kicks were a bit of a surprise, but the third completely stunned them.

It's not an opportunity, Gao Zheng can seize it...... How will they play next when they are three goals behind? Fight back? Sampdoria can play counterattacks, and in a state of high Zheng, it seems that there is no way to fight.

To put it simply, this team has collapsed from the top to the top, and the mentality has all collapsed.

Although the mentality collapsed, it is obviously not possible to do nothing.

Pia pondered Sampdoria's weakness, or rather Gao Zheng's weakness.

It really reminded him of one - physical fitness!

In fact, this is not a very hidden weakness, but Gao Zheng's performance in the first half like a god scared many people, including Pia. So Jean Pia didn't think about it at all......

Gao Zheng's most famous label now, in addition to "genius", is probably "not good in physical fitness".

He has not played a full game this season, either as a substitute or as a starter, and the latter is rare, and this game is Gao Zheng's third start this season.

So Gao Zheng should also be replaced in advance in this game......

Thinking of this, Pia suddenly lit up a light bulb in his mind - Gao Zheng in the first half was like a god, does it mean that he used all his physical strength in the first half, fighting to only play half the game, but also to grab the start, and strive to completely end the game in the first half?

The more Pia thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

After all, in fact, Gao Zheng's outstanding performance in the first half really surprised everyone, and Sampdoria successfully took a two-goal lead in the first half, basically laying the foundation for the victory.

As the head coach, Pia had to admire Yaccini's courage at this moment, he was able to come up with such crazy tactics, and he almost made him successful!

The reason why it is said to be "almost successful" is because Pia now knows his tactics.

The reason why this set of tactics can work is completely dependent on Gao Zheng. If Gao Zheng is gone, this tactic will naturally not be able to be played.

So Gao Zheng is the key.

He still had a lot of fitness in the first half, but what about in the second half? With his fitness declining rapidly, will he be able to maintain such a good performance?

Pia had a question mark in his heart.

He felt that Gao Zheng should have been replaced at halftime, and even if he didn't, he would probably have to go down soon after the start of the second half.

Thinking of this, Pia already knew how to boost morale.

By the time he slapped his face and attracted the attention of all the players, he was already in front of a confident manager with a confident smile.

"0:3 is not the end of the game, it is not without games that came back from three goals behind at half-time and ended up with a victory, the most famous one is probably the 2005 Champions League final. So being three goals behind is not a reason to give up. I guess Sampdoria must have started to celebrate their return to the First Division by this time, right? So let's surprise them in the second half! ”

Pia told the players all about his analysis of Sampdoria's tactics, and asserted that either Gao Zheng would be replaced at halftime, and even if he didn't, he would not be able to play the whole game.

When Gao Zheng was substituted due to physical exhaustion, Sampdoria should adopt a steady tactic and try to keep the three-goal lead, which is an advantage for any team to relax and choose passive defense.

So there is no need to worry about Gao Zheng's counterattack in the second half, Sassuolo can formulate tactics more aggressively.

At the beginning of the second half, Pia found that Gao Zheng was not replaced at halftime, and snorted coldly, with a feeling of "everything is under control".

Even if they didn't replace Gao Zheng at halftime, it didn't matter, they would definitely replace Gao Zheng in advance in the end.

He turned his head to look at Achini.

I've guessed your tactics, and now it's my turn to fight back!
