Chapter 66: Serie A is over
After the training, Bruni left Gao Zheng alone.
Everyone else was quite strange, this was the first time that Bruni had left Gao Zheng at the end of training, and they looked back at Gao Zheng and the head coach while walking to the locker room with some reluctance.
They really want to know what it means for the head coach to keep Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng is also very strange.
"I heard you made a championship declaration in the locker room?" Bruni asked.
"Ah......" Gao Zheng looked at his teammates who hadn't gone far yet, not knowing who betrayed him.
"Don't look at it, I'm not going to tell you that Marcy said it."
"That big mouth!" Gao Zheng was a little annoyed, and then he changed his expression to face Bruni: "Coach, do you blame me for setting the tone too high?" I couldn't help it, I saw that everyone's morale was too low...... Isn't it particularly unappealing to say that our goal is to reach the semifinals of the playoffs? That's why I thought I'd just have a championship......"
Bruni nodded: "It's a bit high, you know the championship is not so easy to get." But the words are out, and I can't help but ask you to take it back. So you know how to do it next, right? ”
"If you say it, you spill it. I know how, coach. Gao Zheng patted his chest and assured.
Isn't it just a reserve champion?
Bruni was still very satisfied with Gao Zheng's attitude, and then he remembered what he had said to Casirio against AC Milan.
After returning from Milan, he heard that the first team had lost the lighthouse derby, and then the team was confirmed to be relegated, and the whole team was affected, and he forgot about it for a while.
"Oh, one more thing. Now it seems that everyone knows that you are not good at fighting......"
Gao Zheng smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this, his bamboo pole figure really couldn't hide his lack of strength.
“…… Have you ever thought about making a change? ”
Gao Zheng hurriedly said: "Coach, I am actively gaining muscle now, and I haven't fallen behind in strength training......"
"It's a long-term plan, and the change in fitness doesn't happen overnight. I have a short- to medium-term plan, would you like to hear about it? ”
Gao Zheng hurriedly made a deferential look: "You say, coach." ”
"Practice free kicks." Bruni said simply.
Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then a sudden expression appeared on his face.
Because of his figure, everyone thinks that Gao Zheng looks weak, so he often has physical confrontations against him in the game, sometimes he will lose the confrontation, but sometimes it will be the opponent's foul.
Now he can't do anything about the opponent's foul tactics.
But if he's going to take a free-kick......
As long as the opponent fouls in the danger area and gives himself a chance to kick a free kick, and he uses this free kick to score directly, then the opponent may have to consider the cost of the foul when defending him.
When they are in physical contact with themselves, they can no longer use their physical advantages unscrupulously.
Gao Zheng thinks the head coach's idea is really good.
He had only thought about making himself stronger, but he had forgotten that there were other ways......
"Great, coach, how did you come up with that?" He asked happily.
'It was your left-footed free-kick against AC Milan that inspired me. Bruni is not greedy for merit.
"I'm blinded by that ball......" Gao Zheng scratched his head.
"You can see it. When you practice a lot of free-kicks, you don't have to rely on the blinds. After each day's training, you can continue to use the training ground and equipment for half an hour. ”
With that, Bruni turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Gao Zheng looked at his back, and then looked at the football that was still scattered on the training ground.
Instead of returning to the locker room, he ran to hook a soccer ball, placed it about thirty meters from the goal, and tried to kick it towards the goal.
The football flew in with ease.
But Gao Zheng shook his head, not satisfied with the ball.
The shot is too positive, and there is no human wall......
He ran to pick up a ball again.

When Gao Zheng came to the training base the next day, he was stopped by Marcy as soon as he entered the locker room: "Gao, why did the coach keep you down yesterday?" ”
Others pricked up their ears as well.
"It's nothing, it just makes me start practising free-kicks."
"Free kicks?" Marcy was stunned for a moment, and then he also figured it out. "That's a great idea!"
"Also, Alberto, you big mouth, why do you tell the coach everything?"
Facing Gao Zheng's questioning, Marcy smiled and said, "Isn't this here to recite your name?" Let all know your glory......"
Gao Zheng hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt his nonsense: "Okay, okay, you god stick!" ”
He was afraid that Marcy would say something even more outrageous.

While Sampdoria reserves were preparing for the quarter-finals of the playoffs, the 2010-2011 Serie A season also came to an end.
In the last round of the league, Sampdoria, who had already confirmed relegation, had no fighting spirit and lost 1-3 away to Roma.
They ended this terrible season with a three-game losing streak.
Next season, they will play in Serie B, but it is anyone's guess whether they will be able to return to the first division. Keep in mind that the last time Sampdoria were relegated was in the 1998-1999 season. There were many similarities between that season and this season – both were favourites at the start of the season, the clubs were all aiming for the Champions League, only to be relegated in incredible performances......
After that relegation, Sampdoria spent four seasons in Serie B before returning to Serie A in 2003.
With Sampdoria's performances this season, Sampdoria fans are not confident that the team will be back in the first division after a year.
In this way, the concern of the fat boss Borata is completely understandable.
Fans are also unhappy with what the club owners have done this season.
Selling Cassano can also be said to be a bad boy who isolates himself from the team, but why is it that he sold Pazzini next?
With the loss of two of their main strikers, Sampdoria have failed to score in five league games......
According to the operation of the club president, who knows what kind of virtue Sampdoria will become after relegation?
※※※
The 20120-2011 Serie A season was over, and Sampdoria were relegated to the second division along with Bari and Brescia.
AC Milan, on the other hand, won the league title and are six points clear of second-placed city rivals Inter Milan.
In third place is Napoli, which have risen strongly in recent years.
These three teams will play in the Champions League next season.
Fourth-placed Udinese will qualify for the Champions League.
Fifth and sixth place went to the Roma duo; Lazio and Roma, who will play in next season's Europa League.
The Serie A league has come to an end, but the competition for the reserves is not over yet.
On the afternoon of Monday, June 6, Sampdoria Reserves took on Atalanta Reserves away.

PS, tonight's World Cup is about to rekindle the flames of war, are you excited or not, are you looking forward to it?
I'm in a hurry anyway.
Now I watch the game every day, but yesterday I suddenly didn't have any games to watch, and I still feel a little uncomfortable......
When the World Cup is over, how will you live this day......
