"A one-goal lead is not a risk!" In the Sampdoria dressing room, Di Francesco kept repeating the phrase to remind the players. "You're playing against AC Milan! It was the league champion two seasons ago! Although they are now behind the score and have injured the captain, they are still not to be underestimated! In the second half, we continued to play with them in a defensive counter-attacking rhythm, and it worked in our favor that we were already one goal ahead, even if we didn't score a goal in the second half, we could have won! So we should be more patient than they are. And they probably can't tolerate this score after the pre-game rants of revenge, so our chance will be after their impatience...... So remember, no matter what, you have to be more patient than your opponents! ”

Meanwhile, in the AC Milan dressing room, Allegri is encouraging his players:

'It's just a goal down, it's not a big deal. As long as we don't mess up ourselves, we still have a chance. Their squad is relatively young and will be more likely to be impatient......"

Shaarawy lowered his head and looked at his feet.

His first half was mediocre, and although there were occasional few eye-catching performances, he was generally not worth mentioning.

He has not scored in two consecutive league games.

If this happened to Gao Zheng, guess what the media would do?

Actually, you don't have to guess, it happened not so long ago.

At that time, Gao Zheng just didn't score a goal in one game, which caused criticism from the media.

On his side, he didn't rush to ask him what it was like to not score in two games.

He had secretly vowed to score four goals before the game, but he didn't even score a goal after half-time.

Next, he has to spend the remaining 45 minutes alone to complete the big four, which is ...... It's not ordinary!

Shaarawy began to wonder if he could really do it.

Well, it can't be done, right?

Four goals in the half!

Even Gao Zheng, when he played against us, he used four goals for the whole game.

How could he have scored four goals in the first half?

But I'm not going to throw in the towel, four goals won't work, it's always okay to score two. Now he hasn't scored either, so if he can score two goals himself, he can close the gap on the number of goals we score.

Yes, going from being four goals down to being two goals behind is a great improvement.

Shaarawy is now very glad that he didn't say anything to the media at the beginning, saying that he was going to win four yuan in this game to tie Gao Zheng.

Otherwise, the Internet will definitely be full of voices mocking you now, right?

Shaaraoui was glad for his forbearance, which was probably the only thing that stopped him from feeling so bad......

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and no substitutions were made.

AC Milan took the initiative in the second half, as they had done at the beginning of the first half, and launched wave after wave of attacks towards Sampdoria's goal.

But Sampdoria defended with all their might, and when the chances were bad, they would rather sacrifice the opportunity to counter-attack than risk attacking.

It is to prevent AC Milan from taking advantage of the problems in their offensive and defensive transitions.

It looked like AC Milan had the upper hand but couldn't find the back of the net.

The AC Milan fans in front of the TV were impetuous, feeling that the team's striker was simply a king of spitting cakes, and he could waste his chances.

Shaarawy wasn't without a chance, but he didn't take it.

Although he has lowered his standards repeatedly, he has not been able to reap the opportunities that belong to him.

As the game progressed, the score remained unchanged, and Allegri on the sidelines became more and more unable to sit still, pacing around the sidelines, looking very anxious.

El Shaarawy on the pitch is still trying to score at least one goal – and his goal has been lowered to this point.

Before the game, four goals were scored, and at halftime it was directly discounted by five and turned into two goals.

Now he's happy with a goal......

Allegri didn't give him that chance, though.

After a half-day of pacing, Allegri made a substitution, replacing the inactive Shaarawy with Robinho.

When El Shaarawy found out that he had been substituted, he had a disappointed look on his face - he had tried to score a goal at the end of the game, but now it was completely out of play. What does this mean? That means he's been goalless for three rounds in a row!

Allegri replaced El Shaarawy with Robinho, and AC Milan's top scorer has suffered a goalless drought for three consecutive games. I remember a few rounds ago, the Italian media was still hyping the 'talent battle' between Shaarawy and Gao Zheng, and the hope of beating Gao Zheng in the scorer list was pinned on Shaarawy. However, now Gao Zheng has scored eighteen goals, and Shaarawy has still stopped at fourteen goals, and the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger! Now Gao Zheng's opponent on the scorer list has also been changed from Shaarawy to Cavani...... To be honest, this reminds me of Jin Yongli's six major factions besieging Guangming Ding, and Gao Zheng single-handedly defeated those masters of the Serie A league in turn to defend the glory of his top scorer......"

Sampdoria host AC Milan in the latest league fixture of the tournament.

In the Napoli vs Palermo match that ended before that, Napoli won by three goals at home, but Cavani did not score, so Gao Zheng still maintained the lead with a two-goal advantage.

That being said, Chinese fans still prefer to see Gao Zheng score.

Whether Sampdoria wins or not, they don't care so much.

Especially the Chinese students who watched the game live.

They had been waiting for Gao Zheng to score, and they waved the flag in their hands.

However, it seems that Gao Zheng's goal in this game is not very strong.

"Gao Zheng won't really let go of his grudge with AC Milan in his heart, right?"

"Don't...... It's hard to be able to watch the scene, and I just want to watch Gao Zheng score a ......."

Xiao Yingying secretly glanced at her roommate, and found that Sister Feng's attention didn't seem to be on the game, and she didn't know what she was thinking, as if she was out of the world.

※※※

Shaarawy sat on the bench, it was impossible for him to score again, and the only consolation for him now was that Gao Zheng did not score either.

The difference between them is still four goals.

A four-goal lead is nothing to mention for a long league run. The second half of the league has just begun, and he still has a chance to catch up and overtake.

He firmly believes that the final victory must be his own......

Thinking of this, Shaarawy, who has not scored in three consecutive rounds and was replaced in advance, feels much better in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a huge cheer suddenly erupt from the Malassi Stadium!

In the midst of this cheer, he also heard a name: "Gao ——!! ”

As soon as he raised his head, in front of his team's goal, he saw Gao Zheng who was picking up his legs.

He didn't take a volley, he just stood in the box, using his right foot as the axis to support his body, and drove his left foot to pump the ball from the side of his team.

Bang.

The ball was pumped solidly by his instep, but instead of flying high over the crossbar, it rushed into the goal like a cannonball.

Abbiati made a save but to no avail, and as for Mexes and Zapata, the two AC Milan central defenders, they did not stop Gao Zheng.

The ball went in so suddenly!
