When Icardi saw Gao Zheng's brilliant goal, he smiled again.

Although Gao Zheng is already ahead of him in terms of goals, he thinks this is a good thing - such a Gao Zheng is better than the Gao Zheng who always runs away from himself, right?

Now that Gao Zheng has scored two goals, he has to make persistent efforts, but he can't be compared to Gao Zheng!

So Icardi went on to win two cities in a row.

When training was over, Icardi scored a hat-trick.

And what about Gao Zheng?

He scored five goals.

In the end, this defensive training was a big failure - the defensive team conceded a total of eight goals.

Even Tosi, who was standing on the sidelines, was surprised: "Is this defensive training or offensive training?" ”

Bruni had a dark face and a rather unkind expression.

But he still said to Tosi: "At least there is one thing, Mr. Manager, you don't have to worry. ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Tossi didn't react.

"High goal."

With that, Bruni walked to the pitch. By this time, assistant coach Casirio had already gathered the players.

Standing in front of the players, Bruni said with a gloomy face: "Look at your defense, look, this is the result of what we have been practicing for so long?" Eight goals conceded! Eight balls! If this is an official match, do you know what the media and fans are going to scold you next! I'm ashamed of you! ”

The scolded defenders turned their attention to Gao Zheng and Icardi, the two culprits standing on the side, looking like they didn't care about themselves.

Seeing the two of them like this, someone couldn't help but shout: "But the coach ...... It's not a normal training session, Icardi and Gao are obviously ......"

"What is it obviously?" Bruni snorted. "Do you also ask the opposing striker not to work too hard in the game? I think that's the best training! It doesn't get much more realistic than this! ”

The defenders, who were scolded by the coach and couldn't hold their heads up, scolded in their hearts: But we don't have to meet two geniuses competing against each other every game......

※※※

Because of their poor performance in defensive drills, all the players on the defensive side were left behind for penalty increases.

The members of the offensive team can finish their training.

Icardi returned to the locker room and smiled when he saw Gao Zheng.

"What?" Gao Zheng asked him.

"Didn't you say you can't compare?"

Gao Zheng scratched his head: "It's not better......"

"I know, I know." Icardi nodded with a meaningful smile. "I've heard that Chinese are shy and not good at expressing ......"

"Shy ghost!" Gao Zheng couldn't help it. "I said Mauro, you better focus on playing football, don't think about what you don't have, play well, understand?"

Icardi nodded: "Understood, I will train and compete hard, and then beat you in style!" ”

Gao Zheng covered his face, helpless against this somewhat second-class "second brother" of Ika.

※※※

After Bruni carefully sorted out the vague inspiration in his mind when he saw Gao Zheng playing, he decided to talk to Gao Zheng and persuade Gao Zheng to change his playing style, which may change his career future.

But he also knows how difficult it can be to convince a player to change his habitual style of play.

For this reason, he prepared a belly of words, some of which were known and reasonable, and some of which were moved by emotion.

So when Gao Zheng just came to the training base, he was called away from the locker room by head coach Bruni.

A group of people watched Gao Zheng being suddenly called away by the head coach, and they didn't know what was going on. As soon as Gao Zheng left, everyone guessed.

"I think it's time to let the Great Demon King play!" Marcy is full of confidence in Gao Zheng, "His performance in training is obvious to all! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone thought it should be like this.

Since Gao Zheng came to the Sampdoria reserve team, except for physical training and strength training, which are separate, everyone else has been training with the team. Everyone saw his performance in training, and in terms of technique alone, his teammates felt that Gao Zheng was completely capable of playing.

But even so, the coaching staff still didn't let him play for six games, and it has been almost two months since he came to the team, and Gao Zheng hasn't played a single game.

Gao Zheng is also big-hearted, and his teammates are worried about him, but he is not in a hurry at all.

Now, his wait is finally paying off. Many people were happy for him.

Icardi is also very happy that Gao Zheng is finally going to play. He also feels bored when he always competes with Gao Zheng in training, and it makes sense to compete in the game - scoring ten goals in training is not as good as scoring one goal in a game.

※※※

Gao Zheng did not go to Bruni's office, but just outside the building, standing on the edge of the training ground, and the two started a conversation.

Bruni told Gao Zheng what he had thought about. To put it simply, he hopes that Gao Zheng will not stick to the penalty area like Icardi. Of course, he didn't tell Gao Zheng that the two of them were too crowded in front of the door - he was afraid that Gao Zheng would misunderstand him and ask him to make way for Icardi - he told Gao Zheng to pull out more, not to be limited to a certain place, not only to be able to shoot and score, but also to create opportunities for his teammates, after all, he has the ability to do this in training.

He originally thought that the young man opposite him would not willingly accept his suggestion, and he also prepared some words to persuade him.

But I didn't expect Gao Zheng to nod very simply after listening to what he said: "Okay." ”

"I know...... Belch? Good? Bruni reflexively prepared to say something to persuade Gao Zheng, and then he realized that Gao Zheng actually agreed! You promised? ”

"Why not?" Gao Zheng asked strangely.

"Well, no...... I thought it would take you some time to take ......"

"It's taken me a year to come to terms with the fact that I've been seriously injured." Gao Zheng said. "Actually, I've been moving around for a long time, no longer just staying in front of the door, but trying to expand my area of activity."

Bruni's eyes widened, and he thought of what he and Tosi had observed before: "Aren't you afraid of physical confrontation?" ”

"Of course not." Gao Zheng shook his head, "If I'm afraid of physical confrontation, I won't even be able to play, and it's safest to sit on the bench." ”

Hearing this, Bruni laughed: "I'm relieved to do this." ”

"Rest assured what?"

"I thought it would take some effort to convince you."

Gao Zheng also smiled: "I've been thinking about how to play football after being injured. When I decided to come back, it meant I had already thought about it. ”

Bruni nodded appreciatively: "You are very smart and sober, then I have nothing to say." Oh yes, and you're going to be in the squad for the next game. ”

Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment, but was not very happy, but asked the coach: "Can I do it?" ”

"Whether you can play or not depends on the situation, but if there are no surprises...... I want you to play for a little bit of a while – it certainly won't be for a long time, because it's been a long time since you've played a competitive game, and our job is to get you to feel like the game and have no demands on your performance or minutes. Bruni explained.

Gao Zheng nodded again and again: "I know, I understand." ”

"It's good that you understand." Bruni patted Gao Zheng on the shoulder, satisfied with Gao Zheng's reaction.

※※※

When Gao Zheng returned to the locker room again, Marcy immediately came up: "How is it?" What is the coach looking for you? ”

Facing his expectant gaze, Gao Zheng smiled: "I will be in the squad for the game the day after tomorrow." ”

"Ah! What am I talking about? Marcy immediately turned around and announced to the entire locker room. I'll just say it, the Great Demon King will not be absent! ”

Other teammates also congratulated Gao Zheng, and Gao Zheng returned the salute one by one.

Icardi also came up and said to him very seriously: "I'll wait for you on the court, high!" ”

Gao Zheng's smile remained unchanged, and he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

※※※

"Luciano, how are you talking to Gao?" Back in the office, Bruni was pulled by assistant coach Casirio.

"It went well."

"Didn't he object?"

"Nope. That kid was more sober than we thought. ”

"That's pretty good." Casirio exclaimed.

"Alfredo, I have a wonderful feeling...... I always felt that the future of Gao would be great. Bruni suddenly sighed.

"Of course, he and Icardi are the two of our reserve team!"

Bruni shook his head when he heard this: "I think he will be better and more successful than Icardi in the future. ”

"Taller than Icardi?" Casirio was a little surprised.

"Much higher."

Casirio looked at Bruni blankly, not understanding why the head coach went out to talk to Gao Zheng for a while, and came back with such a shocking conclusion.
