"The first half is over! The score is still 1:0, and Juventus lead Sampdoria at their home stadium! Judging from this first half, Juventus dominated the game. Sampdoria shrunk their formation after being sent off and their tactics did become more conservative...... But there is no way to do it, if they don't shrink the defense, it won't be 0:1 now, but more goals will be conceded! ”

When referee Valery blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Careza briefly summed up the performance of both sides in the first half.

Juventus dominated overwhelmingly, and Sampdoria could only shrink and counterattack.

There were few opportunities to counter-attack, and the only few chances were blocked by Buffon.

At least if you only look at the first half, Gao Zheng is at a disadvantage in the clash with Buffon.

His most dangerous strike came from Sampdoria's long counter-attack, which was deflected off the edge of Buffon's palm.

Calmly and sensibly, his performance had a lot to do with the team's contraction tactics, and for most of the game, he and Icardi were alone, with the midfield not providing them with much substantial support.

is often a big foot to the front, and it is all up to Gao Zheng and Icardi to enter Longtan alone......

However, those who oppose Gao Zheng and don't like Gao Zheng obviously will not be "calm and reasonable" at this time, and there are a lot of ridiculed Gao Zheng's remarks and jokes on the Internet during the intermission.

"Gao said he was a mountain? It's really a brag and doesn't make a draft, I suspect that he has never seen a high mountain, and thinks that a small dirt bag can be called a high mountain. Now, he's finally seen the real mountains! Gi'an Luigi Buffon is an insurmountable, insurmountable mountain! ”

"I suddenly felt a little sympathetic, you said that he was just bragging in front of media reporters, who hasn't bragged? As a result, after bragging, he ran into Buffon, and this is good. The boasted bull is destined to not come true, and after the game, it is inevitable that he will be sneered at by those media - but it is also normal, who let him brag first? If you brag about it, you have to bear the price of being punctured by someone! Let's hope he doesn't roll around after the game......"

In the Juventus dressing room, the Juventus players are blowing their captain.

"Gigi, your save is so beautiful!"

"Well done! That's it! Give that kid a look, otherwise he really thinks that there is no one in Serie A! ”

"I can even imagine his psychological feelings - he finally had another good opportunity, but he was pounced on by Gigi, hahaha!"

In the face of everyone's praise, Buffon waved his hand: "It's not worth being happy, after all, he was still given a chance, I hope we don't give him that chance again in the second half!" ”

Everyone agreed with a grin.

Conte walked in and said with a serious expression: "Don't be too happy. They are one less person than us, but don't think that this is something to be taken lightly. Gao and Icardi have played together since they were in the reserves, and the chemistry is definitely better than the average striker combination. In the case of them shrinking their defense and counterattacking, they must only rely on the tacit understanding of the two to find offensive opportunities. So when defending in the second half, you must pay attention to cutting off the connection between the two of them, don't let them connect in tandem! ”

In the Sampdoria dressing room on the other side, Di Francesco was saying to Gao Zheng and Icardi......

Gao Zheng and Icardi nodded.

Although Icardi regards Gao Zheng as a competitor, he will not deal with Gao Zheng in the game because of this relationship, he should cooperate with them or cooperate, he will assist Gao Zheng, and he will not easily waste the ball that Gao Zheng assists him.

This is actually a healthy competition, albeit one-sided......

※※※

Before the start of the second half, the TV broadcast captured Gao Zheng and Icardi chatting as they walked out of the players' tunnel. However, both men were covering their mouths with their hands, so no one knew exactly what they were talking about.

But that doesn't stop the narrator from guessing.

“…… Because of one less man, Sampdoria in the first half contracted their defense and did not have many opportunities to attack, so Gao and Icardi also lacked opportunities to perform in the first half. Caresa said. Fortunately, Gao had a shot that threatened Buffon's goal, leaving the Juventus fans in the stands in a cold sweat. Icardi, however, was completely out of the picture, and he had to go back to defend for most of the first half...... I think the two of them are discussing how to attack in the second half, and Di Francisco probably won't provide them with much support, so Sampdoria's attack will depend on the two of them working together...... They were teammates in the reserve team and were instrumental in helping Sampdoria reserve win the title, so the chemistry is certainly extraordinary......."

In fact, Gao Zheng and Icardi were indeed discussing how to connect, how to run, and how to respond in the second half.

As he was about to get to the pitch, Icardi said to Gao Zheng: "I will try to pass the ball to you and create chances for you." ”

Gao Zheng was very strange: "Haven't you been talking about defeating me?" ”

"I won't allow you to be defeated by someone else." Icardi said seriously.

Gao Zheng smiled: "Thinking too much, Mauro, no one can beat me, and neither can you." ”

After saying that, Gao Zheng shook his head and walked onto the court, and Icardi frowned behind him.

※※※

Although Gao Zheng and Icardi discussed how to cooperate, after the start of the second half of the game, the content they discussed quickly lost their meaning.

Because of Juventus' targeted defense, the two of them are separated, how easy is it to get in touch?

So it soon became a situation where both Gao Zheng and Icardi had to fight alone.

Icardi really wanted to pass the football to Gao Zheng, but after he tried twice, he found that he couldn't do it, and the football passed out couldn't be passed to Gao Zheng's feet at all. In fact, it's okay if Gao Zheng can't catch the ball, but the terrible thing is that the pass is cut off by Juventus and then directly counterattacks.

So later, when Icardi got the ball again, he had to choose to go it alone, and in the end, he could only rush to a very reluctant shot when there was no way.

How could such a shot threaten Gianluigi Buffon's goal?

Gao Zheng has pulled to the left side to get the ball, Icardi is in the middle, of course he can directly cross the football - but this is very pointless, it is difficult for Icardi to grab a point in front of goal.

So he just made a feint to cross and then took the ball to the middle.

"High lateral dribbling, Icardi in the middle, if the two want to connect, of course they have to shorten the distance first!" Caressa said.

Belgomi next to him was not optimistic about Gao Zheng's move: "There is no room for compression together......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Gao Zheng gently flick the football with the outside of his right foot, dodging Barzagli who pounced on him and wanted to break the ball.

However, Bonucci followed him all the time and did not let him out of his control.

At the same time, Chiellini suddenly stepped up and threw down Icardi behind him - Icardi was half a beat slow to react and fell into the offside trap, even if Gao Zheng passed the ball to him at this time, he couldn't take it.

Juventus' defensive line is very well coordinated.

In addition to the three central defenders, the rest of Juventus' players have also been quickly recycled to surround Gao Zheng.

For example, Pogba and Marchisio came from the midfield direction to form a four-man encirclement with Chiellini and Bonucci, intending to completely trap Gao Zheng.

With such a dense defense, it feels as if the football at Gao Zheng's feet is about to be broken in the next second......

Icardi was pulling to the side, trying to make room for Gao Zheng to pass the ball to him.

At this moment, Gao Zheng, who was running sideways, picked up his right foot, as if he was going to shoot directly in the process. Chiellini, who was between him and the goal, hurriedly stretched out his leg to block it.

But the football didn't fly over, because Gao Zheng didn't shoot at all, it was just a feint!

His right foot landed and knocked the ball behind his support foot!

The ball slipped into the box between Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci so abruptly......

Immediately following almost at the same time, Gao Zheng suddenly stopped and changed direction, chasing the football between the two people and inserting it!

This kind of heel knock change is generally used by players to dribble the ball from the side at high speed and then break through to the middle, no one expected Gao Zheng to use it in the encirclement.

For a moment, whether it was Chiellini or Bonucci, or Pogba or Marchisio, they were all stunned.

It was Buffon who reacted the fastest, he had already abandoned the goal and pounced on the football!

"High! Huh! Beautiful feint change of direction! He's in it! ”

"Buffon! Gianluigi Buffon is out of the door! ”

Amid the loud exclamations from the stands, Buffon spread his arms to expand his defensive area and slid towards Gao Zheng at the same time.

Gao Zheng took a long step, caught up with the football with an arrow step, and stabbed the toe of his left foot before Buffon!

At the same time as Gao Zheng stabbed the shot, Buffon's whole body quickly fell, and his hand slapped the rolling football.

The edge of his palm rubbed against the ball again.

But this time the football was squeezed by him and jumped, and it still flew tenaciously to the goal behind him!

Behind Buffon, there was nothing but a huge goal, and no one could stop the ball.

Everyone watched as the ball crossed the goal line and plunged headlong into the net......

“GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL！！！！”
