When Gao Zheng stood in the middle circle and stepped on the football under his feet, he looked left and right and looked around.

The San Siro Stadium wasn't full, it had a capacity of 80,000 people, but as far as the eye could see, the stands were empty.

Although the match was hyped in the media, it was mainly the Genoese media, and the Milan media were relatively lukewarm about the match.

AC Milan fans weren't very enthusiastic either.

This may have a lot to do with the fact that the team let go of Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva in one fell swoop this summer, and AC Milan fans didn't buy it.

The empty stands made Galliani on the rostrum look a little unpleasant, and he knew that it was a way for the fans to protest against him.

The release of Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva is a must-do from the club's operational level, as both of them are not underpaid. Selling them can not only get a transfer fee, but also be able to terminate a lot of salary, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

But the fans didn't care about that, they only saw the team lose two big stars.

Before the start of the game, Sky Italia's commentator Fabio Careza was also more about introducing AC Milan's performance in the summer transfer market to the TV audience, and he only mentioned a few words about the grievances between Gao Zheng and AC Milan, and the rest of the time he was talking to the commentator, Inter Milan star Bergomi to discuss the summer Serie A transfer market, and the Milan duo was the focus of their discussion.

Only Liu Hong, the commentator of China CCTV, gushed about Gao Zheng's situation in the second division to the Chinese audience and fans in front of the TV.

“…… Last season was a very important one for Gao Zheng, who was abandoned by his head coach at the beginning of the season, and then regained control of his destiny halfway through the league...... In the end, with his outstanding performance, he won everyone's favor and love. But it's only the second division, and the first division and the second division are still very different, the opponents are not the same, and the tactics and the intensity of the confrontation are completely different......"

"It's so long-winded!" Lin Yuan in front of the TV muttered, and then heard the sound of the door opening behind him.

He looked back and saw his sister in the crack in the door.

"Are Mom and Dad asleep?"

Lin Yuan jumped off the sofa, leaned under the door of his parents' bedroom to take a look, and then turned back to his sister and whispered, "The light is off......"

Hearing this, Lin Sisi crept out of the bedroom, sat on the sofa, and then patted the sofa cushion: "Come and watch the ball!" ”

Lin Yuan frowned and looked at his sister: "Aren't you going to work tomorrow?" ”

"I can get up anyway." Lin Sisi was dressed in pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding a pillow, and staring at the TV screen.

Lin Yuan thought that it was her sister's bad luck to be found anyway, so she stopped talking and returned to the sofa to watch the ball game with her sister.

This is the first time my sister has watched a game, but he knows why, because there is a high coach in this game......

The TV broadcast just gave a close-up shot of Gao Zheng standing in the center circle, in which Gao Zheng stared seriously at the direction of AC Milan's goal.

This is the first time Lin Yuan has seen Coach Gao so serious - in the training class before, no matter when, no matter what the situation, Coach Gao in Lin Yuan's eyes was smiling.

"Handsome, ......" Lin Yuan rolled his eyes when his sister's moans sounded next to him, he felt that he might not be able to concentrate on watching the game.

At this moment, the referee, seeing that the players on both sides were in position, looked at his watch, and then blew the whistle for the start of the game!

"The race is on! CCTV, CCTV! Good morning, welcome to the first round of the 2011-2012 Italian Serie A season, AC Milan hosts Sampdoria! On the pitch, it was AC Milan who attacked from left to right in a red and black striped shirt, while Sampdoria attacked from right to left in a blue jersey...... The one who just kicked off was my country's player Gao Zheng, who was wearing the No. 10 jersey! Last season, he wore the number 40 jersey, and from the change of numbers, we can see that Gao Zheng's importance in the Sampdoria team is gradually increasing......"

When Liu Hongluoli said for a long time, Sampdoria had already played football to the front of AC Milan, and he didn't even have time to read the starting lists of both sides, and the focus was all on Gao Zheng. However, for Chinese fans, this is not a problem, they were originally looking for Gao Zheng to watch this game.

※※※

"It's on!" In the bar, Chinese students and other Sampdoria fans cheered and watched quietly.

After Sampdoria kicked off, after inverting the ball in the backfield, another long ball was played into the front.

It was Gao Zheng who was looking for.

However, Gao Zheng did not jump up to fight for the top, and the AC Milan central defender Yepes next to him jumped high and easily pushed the football back.

Seeing this, Sampdoria coach Di Francesco yelled from the sidelines: "Don't pass the ball! Ground! Stick to the ground! ”

He did not scold Gao Zheng for not competing for the top, but scolded the players who passed the ball.

Since the tactical idea of Gao Zheng as the core of the attack was determined, Sampdoria's attack was mainly based on ground advancement, because Di Francesco found that Gao Zheng's heading skills were not very good, and he was one meter nine tall, but he was not good at fighting for the top and hand-to-hand combat, so playing a high ball to Gao Zheng meant losing possession.

The Sampdoria players at the back had clearly forgotten his advice.

※※※

"Sampdoria has a long pass to find Gao Zheng, this is their attacking opportunity...... Uh...... "Before Liu Hong finished speaking, he saw Yepes push the football back, and Gao Zheng, who was beside him, didn't even interfere, and suddenly didn't know what to say, when he did his homework, he knew that Gao Zheng was not good at competing for headers, but he didn't even pretend to do it, which was too sincere...... How can I say what I am ready to say about him?

Lin Yuan and Lin Sisi in front of the TV also looked at each other, but they didn't expect Coach Gao's first performance to be ...... There is no performance.

※※※

Although his teammate made a wrong pass, Gao Zheng still gave the opponent a thumbs up to signal that the pass was good, and then he turned to observe where the football went.

The ball that Yepez fought for was controlled by Sampdoria in the second spot, which fell to Obiang.

Seeing this, Gao Zheng did not turn around and run forward, but took the initiative to retreat to meet Obiang.

Di Francesco lined up in a 433 formation for this game, with Gao Zheng in the center as the central striker, Eder on the left, and attacker Marcelo Estigarivia on the right, who played on loan at Juventus last season.

In the midfield, it was Kostic and Poli who were on top, and Obiang was dragged in the middle of the back, which was considered a midfielder.

Yepes pushed the football directly to Sampdoria's midfield, and Gao Zheng, as a center forward, retreated to receive the ball from the center, which is a rare kick. Usually the centre-forward will stand in his position, try to press the opposition backline forward, and give his midfielders to free up.

However, in the Sampdoria team, Di Francesco gave Gao Zheng such freedom, he can play as he wants, and run as he wants.

Gao Zheng retreated to meet his back, Yepes, who originally wanted to go up, stayed in his position when he saw this, so he couldn't let Gao Zheng pull himself out, as for Gao Zheng's defense, he had his own midfield teammates to solve it.

AC Milan's starting midfielder in this game is Montolivo who came on a free transfer, his body is not strong enough, and his defense is not what he is best at, but Gao Zheng's body is not strong, so Montolivo should be okay to defend......

As soon as Yepes thought of this, he saw that after Gao Zheng received Obiang's pass, he directly pulled the football behind him with the sole of his foot, and then quickly turned around and wiped it against Montolivo!

And what about Montolivo? When Gao Zheng hit the ball, he was about to paste it, but before he could make a defensive move, he was passed by Gao Zheng......

"Oh!!" Liu Hong exclaimed in the studio. "This is beautiful!"

Gao Zheng, who passed Montolivo, dribbled towards Yepes.

Yepes slowly retreated with the backline, compressing the space behind him.

As a result, Gao Zheng took a long shot in the dribble!

Seeing Gao Zheng slapping his feet, Yepes reacted that he gave the other party such a loose opportunity!

He tried to pounce on it, but it was too late, and the ball flew over his head and straight into the top right corner of the goal!

AC Milan starting goalkeeper Abbiati saw the football suddenly thinking about the goal flying, he hurriedly made a save, but it was also too late, he couldn't touch the football at all, and could only watch the football fly to the upper right corner.

Under his gaze, the foot slammed into the crossbar and jumped up to pop the bottom line......

The discussion in the commentary booth about AC Milan's transfer operation to sell two key players this summer, as well as the dissatisfaction of AC Milan fans in the stands with the club's hierarchy, were interrupted by this crisp sound.

Just one minute into the game, Sampdoria created a threatening attack with a long-range shot from Gao Zheng.
