Before training the next day, Gao Zheng met Icardi, and he remembered what Marcy had taught him at the dinner table last night - "How do you know if he lied to you at the time, in fact, he was not invited at all?" ”

He certainly couldn't just ask Icardi if he lied yesterday, he could only choose to try.

"Hey, Mauro, did you have fun yesterday?"

As a result, he saw Icardi and smiled: "It's good, it's pleasant." ”

Gao Zheng carefully observed the other party's expression and tone, and found that Icardi's smile and tone were natural when he said this, not like he was lying.

It seems that Icardi is really dating, and this date is very good.

So he nodded: "It's good to be pleasant, actually, uh...... Proper relaxation and rest are for better progress, that is what the saying goes, right? In short, don't push yourself too hard. ”

He wanted to comfort Icardi.

But Icardi said with a smile on his face: "I won't relax, I will beat you!" ”

Gao Zheng was speechless, and the topic returned to the dead loop.

He really didn't want to be an enemy of Icardi, but Icardi was determined to compete with him. How did the two of them end up in this relationship?

Was it because when we met for the first time, I easily stopped his pump?

Gao Zheng shook his head and left, and went to say to Marcy: "He really had an appointment yesterday ......"

Marcy was a little surprised: "Is there really a date?" ”

He secretly observed Icardi and noticed that the other party had a smile on his face, this scene is really rare!

Then he touched his chin and said, "I don't know which woman I spent last night with......"

Maxi López and Romero also muttered together: "Did you notice, Sergio, Mauro's expression is much soothed than before, I think even his facial lines have softened......"

Romero made a joke about López: "That's because he ate too much barbecue yesterday and gained a little weight, right?" That kid really didn't eat less yesterday, more than I did! ”

López shook his head: "Whatever the reason, it looks like he's in a good mood, that's good." Let's call him when we meet in the future. ”

"I'm fine." Romero shrugged. "As long as there is meat to eat."

※※※

I don't know if it brought good luck after eating a barbecue.

Sampdoria played Parma away in the eighth round and Icardi finally got a relatively long playing time – he was substituted in the 50th minute for Maxi López, who had invited him to his home barbecue.

This is the game where he has played the most minutes of the season so far, and he will have a full 40 minutes to challenge Gao Zheng.

When he came on, Sampdoria was 1-0 down to Parma and Di Francisco brought him on the pitch, apparently hoping that he would help the team score. This time, he finally didn't show up in garbage time to make up the numbers.

As soon as he thought about it, Icardi was in high spirits and determined to make the most of this opportunity and conquer the manager once and for all.

It was a tough game for Sampdoria, and in the 34th minute of the first half, Parma attacked, their pass penetrated the Sampdoria defence, and winger Biabiani, who had only moved to Parma from Sampdoria this season, was in the penalty area.

Romero was also shaken by Biabiani after abandoning the goal, and in desperation, the Argentine goalkeeper pulled the opponent down.

The referee not only awarded Parma a penalty, but also sent Romero off with a red card.

The decision caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the Sampdoria players, who believed that a yellow card was sufficient when a penalty had already been awarded, and there was no need to send off the pitch with a red card.

But the referee insisted on his decision, and the game was interrupted for two minutes.

It wasn't until the 36th minute that Parma striker Amaury stood on the penalty spot.

Sampdoria's striker Eder, who was supposed to start, was replaced by substitute goalkeeper Bernie.

Amaury scored the ball steadily, and Sampdoria not only fell behind in the score, but also in numbers, and the next game could only shrink the defense and take time to counterattack or something. After Gao Zheng was closely targeted by Parma players, it was difficult to threaten on the counterattack.

It was in this situation that Di Francisco played only five minutes in the second half before bringing Icardi on the pitch.

The young coach was not thinking about continuing to defend and fighting for a narrow defeat in the second half, but to fight Parma in the second half.

Against this backdrop, Icardi was naturally excited when he came on the pitch and felt that he was about to become a hero who saved the world.

After he ran up, he went directly to Gao Zheng, because Di Francesco still had instructions for him to bring to Gao Zheng.

"I'll switch places with you, and I'll go to the middle." Icardi said succinctly, and after speaking, he wanted to run to his position, as if he didn't want to delay in front of Gao Zheng for a second.

But he didn't run away, because Gao Zheng grabbed his arm.

"Mauro, calm down."

"I'm calm." Icardi tried to break free.

"No, you're not calm." Gao Zheng dragged him and didn't let go.

"Where am I not calm?" Seeing that he didn't break free, Icardi frowned.

"You look like you're eager to try it now, and 'I want to score' is almost written directly on your face......" Gao Zheng said seriously, "Think about your game last season." ”

Icardi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered which game Gao Zheng was referring to - in the 40th round of the league, Sampdoria challenged Juvistabia away, and that game was his first time playing in the second division for Sampdoria's first team.

The result?

Late goal-solving.

In the end, Gao Zheng told him that if he wanted to hurry, he couldn't reach it, and the more he wanted to score, the more he couldn't score.

Although he was not very polite verbally at the time, he did listen to Gao Zheng's words, and then scored a goal.

That's how it happened......

Icardi's face darkened at the thought of the ball, and he felt as if the bridge of his nose was still aching.

He wanted to break away from Gao Zheng again, but he still couldn't.

So he said in a deep voice, "I know, I'll calm down." ”

"Really?" Gao Zheng didn't really believe it.

"Of course. Otherwise, are you going to just hold my hand for forty minutes? ”

"Uh......" Gao Zheng hurriedly let go of his hand, and said at the same time: "They have been eyeing me, but they don't know you very well." It's actually your chance to score, as long as you don't get too excited, you move in front of goal and I'll pass the ball to you. ”

Icardi was tempted to say, "No, I can do it myself", but he couldn't say it, he just nodded, turned and ran towards the penalty area.

This time, Gao Zheng didn't hold his hand anymore.
