Chapter Seventy-Three: Quiet as a Virgin, Moving as a Rabbit
Roma reserve goalkeeper Pigriacelli, who was encouraged by the captain, made a brilliant save soon after.
It was Sampdoria reserve striker Mauro Icardi who turned and fired after receiving a pass from a team-mate in the box.
It was actually a very hidden shot, very difficult, and Icardi had a brilliant shot.
But Pigliacelli's save was even more brilliant, as he fell to the ground and pounced on the ball, holding the ball firmly in his hands, not even giving a corner to Sampdoria Reserves, and the chance to shoot was completely denied.
Florenzi slapped hard from outside the box and shouted cheers for Pigriacelli.
He also gave a thumbs up to Pigliacelli.
As captain, he did a really impeccable job.
Feeling the captain's trust, Pigliacelli threw the ball and gave the captain a thumbs up to thank him for the encouragement he had just given him.
Although he conceded a goal, he is now full of confidence and he is confident that he will block all the shots of Sampdoria Reserves in the future.
It was Sampdoria's first goal, but it will definitely be their last goal in this game!
He Pigliacelli swears to God!
※※※
Pigriacelli saved another shot from Sampdoria and Roma launched a fierce attack towards Sampdoria's goal.
Now that they're a goal behind, they're attacking more aggressively than before.
On the sidelines, the elder De Rossi didn't think about anything against the attack.
In this case, of course, there is only one way left to attack, otherwise wouldn't it be necessary to raise your hands and surrender?
So now he doesn't bother at all.
Roma are in full swing, but Sampdoria's backline is not vegetarian either.
Sampdoria's backline improved rapidly with the daily bombardment of Gao Zheng and Icardi, and Bruni managed to turn the team into a defensive team at the end of the season. This was a bit of a surprise to everyone who knows the team well.
When the Roma team was attacking, Gao Zheng was still at the front of the team's formation and did not go back to participate in the defense.
That's what Bruni asks of him, he doesn't need to be involved defensively, he plays as an attacking bridgehead for the team's counter-attack, and once Sampdoria's attack is pushed forward, he runs forward and participates in the attack.
Of course, in the entire Sampdoria reserve team, only Gao Zheng can enjoy such privileges.
Even Icardi, who has scored a lot of goals, has to come back honestly to be involved in the defense.
Because only Gao Zheng's physical fitness is the worst in the team, and defense is actually very physically draining. The tone wasted his precious physical strength on the defense that he was not good at, and it was better to let him save his energy to attack. Especially in this game, Gao Zheng also started the game, and his physical requirements were very high, and putting Gao Zheng at the front was also to reduce his sprint distance.
In order to let Gao Zheng's every bit of physical energy be used at the most critical time, Bruni really racked his brains.
Sampdoria naturally understands why Gao Zheng is playing like this, but others don't understand.
After Gao Zheng scored a cock bombing goal, everyone turned their attention to this tall man.
When the players of the Sampdoria reserve team were desperately defending, Gao Zheng was either standing on the spot with his hands on his hips, or he was pacing slowly and "walking" on the field.
Borata's son Franco was watching Gao Zheng play for the first time on the spot, and he was surprised by Gao Zheng's performance: "Everyone else is trying to stop Roma from scoring, but he stays out of it, isn't that right?" ”
"What's so bad?" Borata waited for his son's look, "Geniuses have privileges!" ”
"I don't think the high morale is enough, he doesn't seem to care if his team concedes or not, and I don't see the slightest anxiety on his face...... It was a great goal, but football is a team sport, right? Offense and defense have to be a unit, right? ”
was refuted by his son in front of outsiders, Borata was very faceless, blowing his beard and glaring: "You know what a fart!" I'll say something unpleasant, even if we concede a goal at the back, I'm sure Gao will be able to score again! ”
"Then his previous goal was in vain...... "Franco, the scolded son, muttered quietly.
It was Moretti who kindly explained to Franco: "Gao's fitness is not very good, he has been a substitute in previous games. But the final was so important that he was put in the starting line-up and he had to play that way to be able to keep him on the pitch as much as possible. ”
"That being said...... "Franco is still a little unacceptable, "and he doesn't worry about his team conceding goals?" ”
"Less nonsense, just watch!" Borata always had a bad face for his son.
Moretti was much more patient, and he smiled and said, "Maybe Gao trusts his teammates, right?" He believed they would be able to withstand Roma's attack and then create chances for him, just like the ball......

Alberto Masi and his teammates withstood Roma's attack and then attacked.
Gao Zheng received the pass in front again, he did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the football sideways to the side and gave it to the left wing-back Grico, who was inserted at high speed.
After passing the ball, he turned and ran forward, but not very quickly.
Icardi was quicker than him and had already rushed in front of him, immediately attracting the attention of the Roma defenders.
Gao Zheng continued to run forward, but the speed was really not fast, and soon two Sampdoria reserve players overtook him and ran in front of him. Naturally, they also managed to attract the attention of the Roma defenders.
Gao Zheng was still running forward unhurriedly, and at this time he was already drowning in Sampdoria's rapid counterattack, like a drop of water hiding himself in the sea.
Grico, who had picked up the ball on the flank and looked up in the middle, saw Icardi.
But at the same time, Roma's right-back Sabelli also approached Grico step by step in the process of high-speed return, leaving him with little space to continue dribbling the ball.
"Hurry up and pass it to Icardi!" In the stands, Franco saw this scene and shouted anxiously, in his opinion, this is a great opportunity for Sampdoria to counterattack, to pass the football out immediately, you must not slow down the speed, once the opposing defender sticks to Grico, Sampdoria's rapid counterattack may not be able to play.
"Stupid, pay attention!" Next to him, his father Borata, stared at Gao Zheng and reminded his stupid son at the same time.
Gao Zheng?
Although Franco thought it was strange, he obediently looked for Gao Zheng on the court.
He saw that Gao Zheng was still running in the direction of the penalty area, but his speed didn't look like a quick counterattack at all, and he was a little disappointed - when he defended, he said that he wanted to save his strength, so he kicked in a loose step. It's all attacking and running so slowly, can't it be to conserve your strength, right?
At this moment, Grico made a gesture with his left foot to cross directly, and Sabelli rushed up with an arrow and stretched out his leg to block.
But Grico didn't really kick the ball into the box, but with a left-footed smash of the ball, he slammed it towards the middle, just in time to shake off Sabelli.
Grico then followed up with his right foot and played the ball down the middle with an inverted triangle pass!
Franco didn't see Grico's series of operations, but he saw Gao Zheng suddenly accelerate and rush straight towards the penalty area!
Then he received the ball from Grico!
When he received the football, he was actually very close to the Roman defender Florenzi, who was almost at the same time as Gao Zheng received the ball, and planned to break the ball when Gao Zheng had just received the ball and his foothold was not stable.
But Gao Zheng stepped on the football with his right foot and pulled it to the left while receiving the ball, just avoiding Florenzi's frontal interception!
He then slammed the right-footed soccer ball forward with his left foot, and he himself slid over Florenzi's lap and into the box.
Franco looked stupid in the stands - is this the same person as that lazy Gao Zheng? From catching the ball to passing people in one go, it's like a rabbit!
The Roma fans in the stands were already bursting with loud exclamations, mixed with boos......
But that didn't stop Gao Zheng from dribbling into the penalty area.
Roma central defender Antei hurriedly came up to block Gao Zheng, and at this time the middle Icardi was already in place, he raised his arm, like a lighthouse on the cliff of Genoa Bay, hoping that Gao Zheng could see him.
Gao Zheng did see him, and also passed the football over!
But Anteyi blocked Gao Zheng's cross at this critical moment.
The football hit his leg and did not penetrate!
Before everyone could react, Gao Zheng's left foot, which had just finished passing the ball, was pulled back like a whip, and the rebounding football was pumped towards the goal!
The kick was so swift and discreet that Roma reserve goalkeeper Pigriacelli didn't react at all, and when the ball flew towards the far corner, he just stood there and watched it fly past before hitting the inside of the far post and bouncing into the back of the net......
In the seventeenth minute of the first half, Gao Zheng scored twice, and Sampdoria reserves led by two goals!
(Note: The name of the player who was harmonized in the first two chapters is Mladan, also known as M***...... So it was harmonized out)
