The Malawi Stadium was almost full, and the fans came to see the "Mr. Four Goals" Gao Zheng.

This is the second round of the league and Sampdoria hosts Siena.

Sampdoria played their first home game of the season at the Malasi Stadium due to their last game against AC Milan.

Gao Zheng still started, but he didn't come up with full firepower like in the first game, so that everyone could feel that he was in hot form today.

After all, Siena and AC Milan are not the same.

He didn't need to be so scrappy with Siena.

And after a game in good form, you need to adjust.

So in the first half of this game, Gao Zheng did not score.

The score was now 1-0 and it was Gastadro who scored for Sampdoria and broke the deadlock with a header from a corner.

However, at the 61st minute of the second half, the scorer Gastadro tackled Siena's attacking player in the penalty area, and the referee gave him a yellow card and gave Siena a penalty!

There was a shrill boo over the Malassi Stadium.

Siena striker Manuel Caleo slotted the penalty to the post, but before the Sampdoria fans could switch boos to cheers, Siena midfielder Simone Vergassola followed up with a follow-up shot that bounced the ball into the empty net.

Siena equalised!

The atmosphere at the Malassi Stadium cooled down a bit.

Seven minutes later, in the sixty-ninth minute, Gao Zheng took the ball in the direction of the goal with his back to the front of the opponent's penalty area, it seemed that he was facing away from the offensive direction and could only pass the football out, but this time he flicked the football to the side, followed him quickly turned around, and directly turned around and volleyed!

The soccer ball bounces against the turf and jumps towards the back corner of the goal!

Although Siena goalkeeper Gianluca Pegolo made a save, Gao Zheng's kick was sudden and tricky, and the football was going to the dead corner, even if he tried to stretch his body, he couldn't touch the football.

The soccer ball flew into the goal!

"High! High! He saved Sampdoria! Turn around and hit the door with a clean kick! It was his fifth league goal of the season! And the league has only started two rounds! Currently on the league scorer list, Gao is at the top of the list! ”

A one-goal lead is not a safe score for any team, but if the opponent has one less man, it is a different matter.

In the 82nd minute, Siena central defender Felipe fouled Gao Zheng and received his second yellow card of the game and was sent off with a red card.

With one man less, Siena will find it difficult to threaten Sampdoria's goal again.

In the end, Sampdoria beat Siena 2-1 at their home stadium to make it two wins in a row since the start of the league.

Despite two wins in a row, Sampdoria are not at the top of the league.

Although they and the current top-ranked Juventus have two wins, scoring six goals and conceding one, Sampdoria were deducted a point before the start of the league due to the match-fixing case, which is equivalent to starting the season with a minus one.

So despite achieving the same results as Juventus, they are now only five points and fourth behind Juventus, Napoli and Lazio.

But Sampdoria wasn't the worst.

In addition to them, Atalanta, Torino and Siena have been affected by match-fixing in Serie A this season. Among them, Sampdoria and Torino have deducted one point, Atalanta has deducted two points, Siena is the worst, directly deducted six points, starting the new season with six points, they have drawn one and lost one in two rounds of the league, and now the points are still minus five......

'Gao is in great form right now, scoring in two games in a row, scoring five goals in two games, and he's the best scorer at the moment, leaving the rest of his rivals far behind. Although the league has only just begun, judging from the odds offered by the bookmaker for the top scorer, Gao is the most favored one......"

On the TV, the host of the program is discussing Gao Zheng's performance in these two league games with the guests, with the picture showing all five of Gao Zheng's goals.

Palin was sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee in his hand and watching TV.

My girlfriend's sleepy-eyed bedroom door came out: "I woke up and found that you weren't there, why did you get up so early today?" ”

"Breakfast is ready, dear." Perrin looked at the TV and said without looking back.

"Huh? That's high? The girlfriend behind him let out an exclamation.

Perrin turned his head, "You know him?" ”

The girlfriend smiled: "How many people don't know him now?" He's a big celebrity right now, scoring four goals against AC Milan alone, which is said to be the first in history......"

"yes, he's a big celebrity now......" Perrin muttered thoughtfully.

"Why are you paying attention to him?" The girlfriend asked curiously.

"He's my opponent in the next round."

"Is the next round against Sampdoria?" This Pescara girl was surprised.

"yes. You go wash up, breakfast is on the table. Ignoring his girlfriend, Palin stared intently at the TV.

The girlfriend stared at Perrin's focused back, and her mouth rose, I don't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that her boyfriend was far more attentive to this opponent than other opponents, and more attentive to herself than to herself......

The day before the game, Perrin received a call from Shaarawy.

"You will avenge me, Mattia." On the phone, Shaarawi said very seriously.

Of course, Perrin knew about the match between Gao Zheng and AC Milan, and he also knew what his friend thought.

"You're going to beat him, you can't let him score!"

Perrin said, "Don't worry, Stefan. Even if you don't say it, I'll try to beat him. ”

"You have to be extra careful with his left foot......"

"Left foot? But Stefan, Gao is a right-footed player. ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, and then Perrin heard Shaarawy's scolding: "Bastard! That bastard! ”

Obviously, Shaarawy realized that Gao Zheng had let himself lose so badly with only one foot, and he couldn't accept it......

Perrin didn't expect that he would irritate Shaarawi again, and he hurriedly comforted the other party: "I will avenge you, Stefan." But on the other hand, with such an opponent, can't you force yourself to improve? I sometimes wonder if I didn't meet Gao in the first place, what would I be now? Maybe I have long been lost in self-satisfaction and pride, but fortunately, I met Gao at that time, which made me know that there are people outside the world, and I have the motivation to continue to struggle......"

El Shaarawy didn't speak, and he didn't get a chance to play in the second game, watching Pazzini complete a hat-trick in front of the TV to help AC Milan beat Bologna 3-1 away and help the team temporarily escape the danger of the first heavy defeat.

He thought he had been left out of the squad by manager Allegri because of his poor performance in the first game – a changed rule has been adopted in Serie A for the new season, and the number of substitutes for each game has now been increased to twelve, meaning that 23 players can be selected for the first team.

But he wasn't there.

He thinks it's because he didn't play well in the first game.

But now that I think about it, he may have fallen into a misunderstanding.

It's not that he didn't do well in the game, it's that he didn't do well in post-match training......

Yes, since the loss, he has been in a state of confusion, unable to integrate into the team's training, and naturally impossible to meet the requirements of the squad.

He was only defeated by Gao Zheng once, and he actually gave up on himself...... Look at his friend Mattia Palin, he can still challenge the devil in his heart with high spirits, why can't he himself?

Once again, the competitive young man stirred up his fighting spirit.

"You're right, Mattia. It's just a defeat in one game, I'm going to keep working hard and beat him the next time I meet him! ”

Hearing Shaarawi say this, Perrin breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled: "It's great that you can think so, let's do our best together and see who beats him first...... But maybe I'm going to take the lead, tomorrow is my game against him, I won't let him score! ”
