Chapter 114: A Chance to Appear
Feng Shiyu specially avoided Xiao Yingying and came to the newspaper kiosk this time, she had already thought about it, she bought the "Nineteenth Century Newspaper" first, and then brought it back after reading it outside, saying that she bought it for Xiao Yingying.
But what disappointed her was that there was no interview with Gao Zheng in today's "Nineteenth Century News".
Sitting on the bench, she flipped through the newspaper in her hand several times, but did not find Gao Zheng's interview.
What's next part?!
Feng Shiyu put the newspaper aside and thought about it with a frown.
Then she remembered that yesterday's editor's preview seemed to vaguely mention that it was the next matchday special, not the usual next issue......
That means she will have to wait until after the next round of matches to see the next interview......
Feng Shiyu bit her lower lip, feeling that these media are really scheming, and use the next interview to hang the appetite of readers and increase sales.
But I blame myself for not reading clearly yesterday, and I was panicked, and it seemed that reading a newspaper had become a matter of avoiding others...... It's a shame.
Feng Shiyu frowned and pouted, dissatisfied with her performance.

On January 14, 2012, in the 22nd round of the second division, Sampdoria challenged Padua away.
Pelle was not selected in the squad for this game and he was not able to travel with the team on the road.
According to his previous temperament, since he was not selected for the squad, then the game day is a rest day for him, he can just rest at home, sleep lazily, watch TV series in the dark, or meet three or five friends to find a place to relax.
But today, he is not going anywhere.
It's not because he's new to the city of Genoa and doesn't know where to spend his time.
He was sitting in front of the TV watching the broadcast of the match between Sampdoria and Padua.
Because this game is not a free game, he even paid specifically for this game.
But it was all worth it for Pelle because he had to watch the performance closely.
He scored a goal in the last game, so what about this one?
What else can he show?
Could it be that the good performance in the last game was just a stroke of luck? Will this game be beaten back to square one?
With these questions, Pelle sat honestly on the sofa and waited for Gao Zheng to appear.
But now he was a little worried, because Bertany had just started the second half and Bertani had scored a goal for his team as Sampdoria led Padua 2-0 at the outskirts.
With a two-goal lead, will head coach Yacini still let Gao Zheng play?
Valentino Ciglio, the TV commentator, had a similar thought: "Sampdoria are already two goals ahead on the road, which is not common for Sampdoria this season. That's good for Sampdoria, but I guess not necessarily for those who are expecting to play high...... If Sampdoria can maintain their dominance over Padua, will Yacini still be high? It's doubtful, because in such a situation, it's a sensible choice to put on a solid defender......
Padua, playing at home, were not content to lose the game like this, after all, when Bertani scored, the game was only in the 56th minute, and they still had plenty of time to recover.
Sure enough, after conceding the goal, Padua quickly made a substitution, replacing the midfielder Vincenzo Italiano with striker Haaronius, which was a very clear signal to strengthen the attack.
And their substitution tweaks quickly paid off......
In the 62nd minute, winger Dejan Lazarevic assisted midfielder Andrea Bovo to score.
"Bovo!! Padovan gets back a city! Now the game is good! Sampdoria only had a one-goal lead, and with almost half an hour left in the game, that lead was not secure! Isn't it time for Achini to make adjustments? He still has one last substitution in his hand......"
I don't know if it's an illusion, when Pelle heard Ciglio say this, he always felt that Ciglio had a sense of schadenfreude for Sampdoria's conceded goal.
Does this commentator have a prejudice against Sampdoria?
Pelle has never followed the second division live, and this is the first time he's heard Sirio commentating on a Sampdoria game.
Although I don't understand why the commentator has such a mentality, Pelle himself is still a little excited - does this conceded goal mean that Gao Zheng will have a chance to play?
※※※
Gao Zheng was indeed called up by the assistant coach to warm up.
He also knew very well why this was the case.
Padua stepped up their attack and scored goals soon after.
But at the cost of replacing their only defensive midfielder.
It was a gamble and at the moment they won a bet.
If Sampdoria is a one-goal lead, then they are almost ready to win. However, Sampdoria had a two-goal lead, and Padua's goal narrowed the gap between them and Sampdoria, but it was certainly a reminder that Yacini was not a mediocre man like Atezori.
It will certainly be a fuss about their lack of a defensive midfielder.
At this time, it is natural to replace yourself.
Even if Padua knew what Sampdoria would do, they would not change their approach, and the only thing they could do at this time was to continue to strengthen their attack while Gao Zheng was still warming up. If they could have scored the equaliser before Yacini could adjust, they would have won the bet.
Then he was replaced with a defensive midfielder to re-consolidate the midfield defense and maintain balance. At that time, even if Gao Zheng was on the field, the situation he faced would be much more difficult.
Gao Zheng no longer paid attention to the situation on the field, but concentrated on the warm-up.
On the pitch, Yacini was ready for Gao Zheng's appearance, and he asked Palombo not to press and participate in the attack, but to form a double midfield with Obiang, defending with all his might, and ensuring that Gao Zheng did not score another goal before Gao Zheng came out.
Padua's home stadium, Organeño, was able to accommodate 19,000 people, but only 5,000 people were seated in this game.
Before Padua scored that goal, the 5,000-odd men were relatively quiet and did not cause much trouble for the Sampdoria players.
But now these 5,000 people have exploded into the momentum of almost 15,000 people.
Amid their cheers, Padua's offensive came wave after wave, wave after wave.
Sergio Romero's Sampdoria goal looks precarious and could concede another goal at any moment.
The Sampdoria fans who traveled with the team and were in front of the TV were clasping their hands together and praying to God that they would not concede a goal before Gao Zheng came on the pitch.
That's what Clarian Moretti's companions did, nervous enough to look at the pitch and have words in their mouths.
Only Moretti's eyes widened and he continued to watch the game, and he was not willing to admit defeat in the face of Padua's frantic attack.
He was in surprisingly good form to see winger Radjan Lazarevich, who had an assist on the left flank, and that assist seemed to have completely ignited a fire inside him.
On the wing, he played a cross, but the ball was pulled down the middle, shaking off Sampdoria right wing-back Berardi who came up to save and then sent the cross again......
Moretti exclaimed, "Be careful—"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the high school striker Haaronius, who had been replaced in front of the goal, jump high and shake his head before the central defender Gastadro!
At Moretti's exclamation, the ball flew into the goal again......
"What the!!" Moretti fisted his hands and cursed angrily. "!"
"Oh! Oh, my God! Sirio on the TV exclaimed, "Padua scored two goals in four minutes!" Equaliser! Sampdoria's two-goal lead was gone in the blink of an eye! Padua head coach Alessandro Dal Canto has won his bet! ”
