The "Lighthouse Derby" was killed, even though the first half was not over yet.

But look at Gao Zheng's state, look at Sampdoria's momentum, and then look at Genoa's performance. Fools should know that Genoa will be difficult to turn the tables in this game.

What Gao Zheng showed is that as long as he is still on the field, even if he does not continue to score, he can form a deterrent to Genoa and make Genoa dare not act rashly.

At this time, Gao Zheng changed from a conventional weapon to a strategic deterrent weapon.

However, not long after the start of the second half, to everyone's surprise, Di Francesco made the first substitution adjustment in the 55th minute of the game, and it was Gao Zheng who was replaced!

"This ...... Gao Zheng was replaced in advance? Liu Hong was surprised and disappointed, for Gao Zheng, who had already completed his hat trick, he still expected to see Gao Zheng score more goals......

And Gao Zheng was replaced so early, which also surprised him. In fact, last season, everyone has gradually ignored Gao Zheng's poor physical fitness, he has become less and less, and he has not even been replaced in advance halfway, and the number of occasional rotations to rest is also very rare.

What does this mean?

It shows that physical fitness is no longer a shackle that imprisons Gao Zheng's development.

Therefore, it is impossible to replace Gao Zheng thirty-five minutes in advance now, because Gao Zheng's physical fitness is not good.

Besides, now that the league has just begun, the schedule is not intensive, after a summer of reserves, how can there be a problem with physical fitness?

Since it wasn't because of physical fitness problems, why was Gao Zheng replaced in advance?

Could it be that he was injured in the first half of the game?

But if you think back carefully and think back to the first half, I didn't see Gao Zheng injured again.

Judging by his performance in the second half for 10 minutes, there was no sign of injury.

The TV broadcast was aimed at Gao Zheng, who had been replaced in advance, as if he was not surprised at all, and when the fourth official on the scene raised a sign to signal that he was replaced, he simply turned around and walked to the sidelines, without any unhappy expression on his face.

I was replaced so early, but I didn't care......

Could it have been agreed in advance by the manager?

※※※

Seeing Gao Zheng being replaced so early in advance, the guests in the bar were very dissatisfied, they were not supporters of Sampdoria, and they didn't care about the "lighthouse derby", they came to see Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng left the game so early, what to watch in the remaining thirty-five minutes of the game?

Similar complaints are happening not only in this bar, but also in other places.

Some people, like reporters, are speculating whether Gao Zheng is injured and are afraid of him.

Icardi was warming up at the Meazza Stadium when he heard the Inter fans shouting about him, and although he had only played two league games, his hat-trick in the last league game made him a favourite signing for Inter fans, and he also made a front-page headline in the last issue of Sport.

However, he is not complacent about his achievements now, and he is still very focused and hard working during the warm-up, deaf to those shouts.

Just before starting the warm-up, he heard the news that Gao Zheng had completed a hat-trick in the "Lighthouse Derby", so that Gao Zheng surpassed him with four balls.

Gao Zheng and Hamsik are now tied for first place with four goals, while Icardi has scored three goals and is temporarily second in second place.

This stirred up Icardi's fighting spirit.

The reason why he left Sampdoria was so that he could compete with Gao Zheng unscrupulously at this time.

With this emotion, Icardi was particularly involved in the warm-up, and the head coach of Inter Milan, Mazzari, nodded secretly.

After the warm-up, Icardi returned to the dressing room and pulled out his phone to follow the 'lighthouse derby' between Sampdoria and Genoa, almost 70 minutes into the game.

He was stunned to find that Gao Zheng was not on the field!

Looking for it again, it was replaced at the fifty-fifth minute!

What the hell is this!

Aren't we competitors? You're only one goal ahead of me, and you won't play with 35 minutes left in the game?

Icardi held his phone for a while, remembering Gao Zheng's attitude towards him - he never regarded himself as an opponent.

So is it the same for this game to be substituted early?

It was because he didn't see himself as an opponent that he left the game so early when he was in great shape?

Icardi originally thought that his hat-trick in the last round of the league was enough to attract Gao Zheng's attention to him, and he regarded him as a competitor in the scorer list.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng was so calm and light-hearted, completed a hat trick in more than 30 minutes, and then went to rest early in the second half.

He was upset and angry.

Do you think you'll be able to sit back and relax after you're one goal ahead of me?

I'll make you regret it!

After Gao Zheng went down, Genoa's offensive finally recovered a little.

It did cause some problems for Sampdoria, after all, Sampdoria had already used up three substitutions.

In the 79th minute, Genoa pulled a goal back.

But that's about it.

The three-goal lead was huge, and Sampdoria was still playing at home, so the advantage was huge.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Genoa 3-1 on their home turf and won the first "lighthouse derby" of the new season. It was also their first league win of the season, with three points in hand.

After the game, Gao Zheng, who was named the best player, was interviewed by reporters.

Everyone's biggest concern is the issue of him leaving the game early.

How did Gao Zheng respond to this: "I'm not injured, and I'm not physically exhausted. Actually, this is something that I discussed with the coach before the game, I won't play the whole game in this game, I will definitely be replaced in advance, but when I will be replaced, it depends on the situation of the game at that time, if the situation is good, it will come down a little earlier, if the situation is bad, it will be a little later......"

A reporter couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Then if the game has been very stale, even if Sampdoria is behind, will it be replaced in advance?" ”

Gao Zheng glanced at him: "How is it possible?" It's our home stadium and we've got to win Genoa for sure. ”

"I mean if, if ......"

"There are no ifs." Gao Zheng shook his head. "It turns out that there is no such what if."

Another reporter asked: "Was the early substitution because of the Champions League in midweek?" ”

This was speculation from reporters after seeing Di Francisco then make early substitutions for two other key players, but their speculation needs to be verified.

Gao Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's for the Champions League." Midweek is our first Champions League group game and everyone is very focused on it......

"But this is a 'lighthouse derby', isn't it taken seriously?"

Gao Zheng showed a surprised expression: "Why do you say that?" We take this derby very seriously, so you see, we scored three goals in the first half to make sure we can win this game and give more people time to rest. ”

Hearing Gao Zheng's answer, the reporters were speechless: Dare you be so vigorous in the first half to ensure that the team can win, so that you can go down and rest early? Did you do this with Genoa in mind?

When Lu Bing and Wang Yixing heard this, they looked at each other and smiled: "Let's start with Genoa's heart for two seconds." ”

Frecello raised his hand and asked: "How do you feel about the Champions League group stage next week?" ”

"We have been waiting for this game since the group results came out, we have been preparing for this game for a long time...... Everybody will give it their all. Gao Zheng's answer was decent.

Frecello went on to ask: "Are you confident of picking up points at home? ”

This time, Gao Zheng did not give a decent answer, but nodded directly: "Of course, the home field is to win all three points!" ”
