Chapter 234: Competitors

"Gao scored a hat-trick in the 5-1 home win over city rivals Genoa, and he continued his excellent form against Bologna, scoring the only goal of the game to help Sampdoria beat Bologna 1-0 at home, and Sampdoria won two in a row!"

"It's a high-profile match because it's the first fight since the high-profile announcement of Gao's Golden Boot booking, and everyone wants to see how he's going to deal with the pressure...... Despite being heavily defended by opponents during the game, Gao scored the only goal of the game, which seemed to prove that he really has what it takes to win the Golden Boot......

……

Maxi López is back in the team, and although injuries have prevented him from training with the team right away, he has to practice alone in the gym, but he is happy to be back in the team.

He wondered if he would use this as an excuse to call Icardi to his house again.

But when he extended an invitation to Icardi, he didn't expect that Icardi, who had always agreed without hesitation before, chose to refuse this time.

"Huh, why? The kids will be disappointed to hear that you don't go......"

Icardi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Maxi, thank you for helping me. It's a pleasure to get to know you...... I just suddenly remembered what my goal was. ”

"Your goal...... What is it? ”

"I'm going to challenge Gao and beat him."

Maxi López was dumbfounded, he had never heard of Icardi having such a goal.

'Now he's challenged the whole of Italy to win the Golden Boot and I've been thrown too far by him to go on like this. Icardi said seriously.

"But he's your teammate......"

"My opponent too."

"You ......" Maxi López wanted to say "it's hard for you to beat him", but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, it was not good to hit his fellow Argentines like this...... In the end, he had no choice but to say, "Come on!" ”

I feel sorry for my children in my heart, and I want to comfort them when I go back......

“…… In the fifteenth round of the league, Sampdoria, who faced Fiorentina away, fell into a tough battle...... Although Icardi gave his side the lead in the opening period, Fiorentina then chased two goals in quick succession. For the next fifty minutes, Sampdoria was behind. It wasn't until the 78th minute that Gao stepped up and became the savior of the team, scoring his 15th league goal of the season to help the team eventually take a ......point away from Frankie Stadium.

"Fifteen goals in fifteen consecutive league games, an average of one goal per game. Gao was already firing on all cylinders, and he turned a deaf ear to the questions about him on the Internet and in the media, and did not respond again. No, or maybe scoring was his response...... If he can really get the top scorer, then he will make history and become the first Chinese player and Asian player in the history of Serie A to get the top scorer...... But it's not easy to be the top scorer......"

"In the just-concluded round of four, AC Milan beat Catania 3-1 away. AC Milan's young talent El Shaarawy scored twice in this game, not only helping his team beat their opponents and taking three points away from home, but he also used these two goals to increase his league goal tally this season to twelve, just three goals away! ”

"El Shaarawy was defeated in the first round of the league against Gao, who staged a quadruple in that game, and El Shaarawy not only failed to achieve an inch, but was also substituted early, the performance can be described as a failure, and then went through two consecutive rounds of games to be excluded from the squad...... However, such a setback spurred El Shaarawy's performance on the rise, and he went on to score four games in a row after scoring his first league goal of the season against Udinese......

"Shaarawy, like Gao, is a genius who rose to fame at a young age. It's hard not to compare two people together, and now everyone thinks that if anyone can stop the arrogant high, then Shaarawy's hope must be the greatest! ”

Al-Shaarawy was also asked about Gao in his post-match interview, saying that it was pointless to discuss the top scorer right now, with only 15 rounds of the league played. He won't talk big like Gao, he will just fight game by game, and strive to have more and better performances to repay the club's support for him......"

……

"Stefan, that's what you really said?" Perrin asked Sharawy on a text message.

"Of course. Is this still fake? ”

"Hypocrisy! Hey! Perrin laughed. Why don't you tell the truth? ”

"Am I not stupid? Gao was scolded like that, why should I learn from him and be scolded? I know what they like to hear, so let them listen. But what I do doesn't matter what I say, and when the season is over, I'll say what I'm holding in my heart in one breath. ”

Shaarawy replied domineeringly, but Perrin was not surprised, and even happy for his friend.

After losing to Gao Zheng in the first round, he was worried that his good friend would not be able to get out of Gao Zheng's shadow, so he sank completely - to be honest, he didn't come out for a while after the junior team lost to Gao Zheng, and he felt sorry for himself. Now that I think about it, I was very unproductive at that time, but what did a fourteen or fifteen-year-old know at that time?

Of course, this was all before he went to Genoa, so Shaarawy, who met in Genoa's youth team, didn't know about his black history.

Shaarawy has been out of the shadows for less time than he has, and Perrin is not jealous, but just happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone is a good friend, and naturally I hope that good friends are doing well, after all, everyone is really good.

"I wish you success, Stefan." He replied.

"Thank you, Mattia, I will, I will definitely beat him!"

Palin didn't send another message, Shaarawy put down his phone, he walked to the apartment window and looked at the night view of Milan outside.

The brightly lit city is the crystallization of what mankind is known for.

This is one of the most important cities in Italy, one of the most famous cities in Europe and the world.

He came here from Genoa to conquer the place, to write his name forever in the history of Milan, and to become a legend along with Milan.

He has that confidence, and he believes that he can do it.

In the end, he will become a legend of the city, and this battle with Gao Zheng as the top scorer will be the starting point of his legend.

Thinking of this, Shaarawy was a little excited, and he couldn't help but open his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the Milan night outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
