"High pretend to be a cross, wear a crotch! Pretty! He broke through! This time it's a real cross – Icardi! The ball is in! Oh, my God! The ball is in! Icardi heads in the net! ”

At the shouts of the commentator Sirio, the football flew into the goal of Juvistabia.

“4:1！ 4:1！ Sampdoria leads Juvestbia by three goals! There is no suspense in this game! Sampdoria will qualify for the promotion play-offs two rounds earlier! ”

Amid the cheers, Icardi, who scored the goal, didn't jump up to celebrate the goal - he just stood there and covered his face.

The soccer ball had just slammed into his face, and he hadn't slowed down a bit......

Even the cheers of the surrounding teammates seemed to turn into the buzzing of flies.

Until he was caught.

"Beautiful! First goal in the league! ”

Although the voice was a little distorted, Icardi could still hear it, it was Gao Zheng's voice.

Immediately after that, the hand covering his face was broken, and he heard Gao Zheng's exclamation: "Why is your nose so red?!" Wow, isn't it, Mauro? It's just a goal, and you're crying with excitement? ”

Icardi couldn't help but shout: "What are you crying about! It's hit by your pass! ”

"Tears came out?" Gao Zheng looked at Icardi's eyes suspiciously.

"So how hard you hit!"

"Uh...... I just thought about passing the ball to you, and I didn't really pay attention...... Did you really hit you in the face? Gao Zheng asked cautiously.

Icardi is really out of temper with Gao Zheng, although this ball hurts him, but after all, people want to assist him, so it is impossible for him to complain that Gao Zheng should not pass the football to him.

He could only nod reservedly: "Hmm." ”

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng sneered and laughed: "Then didn't you score the first league goal of your career with your face?" Burst! Face goal, such a commemorative goal turned out to be a face goal! ”

Seeing Gao Zheng smiling happily, Icardi turned out to be blackened by the reddening.

"Hey! I'm going to be! ”

Gao Zheng covered his mouth at this time: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not smiling!" But his crescent eyes betrayed him......

At this time, in the commentary box, Sirio also smiled happily after seeing the slow-motion replay of Icardi's goal: "Icardi's goal actually bounced in the face...... I didn't see it clearly at first, so I thought it was Icardi's header on goal. Gao's pass was quick and sudden, and it was normal for Icardi to be unprepared, but he didn't expect to bounce back into the net even if he hit his face...... Should Icardi be said to be lucky, or bad? Hahahaha! ”

If Icardi had been able to hear what Sirio had said, his face would have darkened......

'Regardless of how Icardi scored the football, he had scored his first goal, the first one to remember...... It's just that I think about it, when Icardi makes a career record in the future, his very monumental career first goal will definitely appear in this record, but Icardi himself may not be happy to see it...... Ha! ”

The telecast was also shown to the other Sampdoria players and coaches, and the people who appeared on camera were all smiling.

It's just that it's hard to say what this smile means.

Was it because you were happy to seal the win, or were you happy to see Icardi score in the face?

Icardi was still rubbing his nose.

This person who was supposed to be the happiest person now doesn't seem to be very happy......

Icardi's goal put an end to the suspense of the game.

Soon Gao Zheng was also replaced by Yacini. It was his first start of the season and he fulfilled his task perfectly, with two goals and two assists, and Sampdoria were able to win the game because of him.

After Gao Zheng left the game, although there was still some time before the end of the game, no one cared about the game itself anymore.

Sampdoria fans are now more concerned about the promotion play-offs and what opponents they will face.

According to the rules, the sixth and third places and the fifth and fourth places play each other in the play-offs, both of which are two-legged home and away. Away goals are not counted in the play-offs, and if the two sides draw on aggregate over two legs, the top team in the regular season will advance.

Sampdoria are now fifth, while Verona are fourth in the table, level on points with Sassuolo but fourth due to their poor results against Sassuolo.

If this ranking is maintained until the end of the regular season, then Sampdoria's opponent in the play-offs will be Verona.

Verona is a good opponent.

Sampdoria have played Hellas Verona twice in the regular season this season, winning one and drawing one. If the two sides meet in the play-offs, Sampdoria will surely have some psychological advantage.

However, there are also some people who have an irrepressible idea in their hearts when they see Sassuolo, which has the same points as Verona, - with the grudge between Gao Zheng and Sassuolo, will it be a better opponent to meet Sassuolo in the play-offs?

※※※

In the end, Sampdoria won 4-1 away from Juvistabia, and although Padua beat Gubbio 3-0 and Varese beat Ascoli 4-0, it had no effect on Sampdoria at all.

They qualified for the promotion play-offs two rounds early.

Of course, we won't know which team we will be able to play in the play-offs until the regular season is over.

The two alternate opponents, Sassuolo and Verona, have both ended in a draw in this round of the league, so their ranking relationship remains unchanged, still one third and one fourth.

And both are three points behind second-place Pescara.

Theoretically, none of these three teams have yet to be finalized.

It is entirely possible that Sassuolo and Verona will take Pescara's place.

Sassuolo, in particular, in third place, were originally in the top two, but since the defeat to Sampdoria, the league table has dropped. If they can get back to the top two, for them, it's just a return to where they should be.

Picking up the top two places will give you direct promotion to Serie A, a temptation that no team can refuse.

The next round of the league is the forty-first round of the league, with the penultimate round.

Pescara travels to Sampdoria.

Sassuolo hosts Reggina.

If Sampdoria can continue their good form and beat Pescara, while Sassuolo can beat Reggina in turn, they could level the difference.

Sassuolo, on the other hand, have a win-loss advantage against Pescara, and as long as they can tie the points, they can overtake Pescara and become second in the league. In the final round of the league, Sassuolo only need to win to confirm promotion, rather than playing in the promotion play-offs.

If they do get promoted, it will be the first time in their history that they will appear in Italy's top league.

However, all of this has to be premised on Sampdoria beating Pescara at home.

And the key to Sampdoria's defeat of Pescara is, of course...... Gao Zheng.

The thought of this makes many Sassuolo fans feel like they've eaten flies.

Since that match, few Sassuolo fans have liked Gao Zheng.

But now they have to expect people they don't like to fight for them, and they have to look at the faces of the people they don't like the most...... The thought of this makes Sassuolo fans feel mixed feelings.
