Chapter 199: Left Foot

With the whistle of referee Luca Banty, the first half of the game, which was embarrassing for all AC Milan supporters, finally came to an end.

At the end, Gao Zheng walked to the passage with a smile on his teammates.

AC Milan's players, on the other hand, were a bit confused, they hadn't recovered from the two goals they had conceded, and they couldn't figure out why they were two goals behind at home. It stands to reason that it is normal to be two goals ahead of the opposition at half-time at home......

Shaarawy kept his head down, not letting the camera catch the expression on his face.

He was depressed and unhappy.

Before the game, he obviously wanted to compete with Gao Zheng, but he didn't expect that the first half would completely become Gao Zheng's one-man show.

He was completely unacceptable.

So he lowered his head and walked quickly into the player's tunnel and disappeared into the shadows of the tunnel.

In Sampdoria's dressing room, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, and everyone was congratulating Gao Zheng as if he had won the game.

It was Di Francesco who came in and reminded everyone to stay calm: "It's not over yet, there are forty-five minutes left, what are you thinking?" This is the San Siro, their home turf! Leading by three goals at half-time can cost you a game, let alone just two! ”

Then he looked at Gao Zheng with a serious face: "Gao, you scored twice in the first half, this kind of performance is impeccable, I shouldn't ask for anything, it seems a bit excessive." But I think you know it's not over yet, AC Milan are going to come back in the second half and I need you to keep up the work and try to keep them under control and make them less messy. ”

"Don't worry, coach, I'm not satisfied with my performance in the first half." Gao Zheng said.

Hearing him say this, Di Francesco nodded: "That's good." ”

Meanwhile, in the AC Milan dressing room, Allegri is admonishing his players on how to contain him, and he is asking Bonella and Yepes to be closer and come to help him at any time.

Yepes blushed as the change meant the manager wasn't happy with his defensive performance in the first half. It is true that his performance in the first half was not good enough, and the two goals conceded were scored by Gao Zheng on his side......

Allegri was still trying to make up for the lack of strict marking of Gao Zheng in the first half, but Desiglio was distracted.

He was thinking back to Gao Zheng's two goals in the first half.

The first ball was a one-on-one face against Abbiati, a feint with his right foot, and then a flower kick with his left foot.

The second ball is a front point, and the left foot is directly bounced with the outside instep.

If there's one thing these two goals have in common, it's that they were scored with their left foot.

Left Foot ...... Left foot!

Desiglio was so shocked by his discovery that he almost jumped out of his seat, he jerked his head up, looked at the head coach Allegri, who was still speaking, hesitated, but still raised his hand.

"Is there anything you'd like to say, Mattia?" Allegri looked at him.

"Uh, I think I might know how to curb the high......"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the locker room looked at him in surprise.

Allegri was among them, and he said in confusion: "You know? ”

"yes, uh......" Desiglio was a little reserved at first, but he quickly put aside his nervousness and discomfort and said. As long as, as long as you focus on his left foot when defending, he ...... Well, he only shoots with his left foot, so defending his left foot can effectively reduce his shooting percentage......"

Allegri shook his head: "I didn't hear that Gao is a left-hander. ”

As the head coach of the team, he will definitely understand the basic information of the opponent's players before the game, Gao Zheng is not a left-footed player, in fact, his habitual foot is the right foot. Allegri knew this.

Now that he heard that Desiglio's proposal turned out to be like this, he was a little disappointed, and he didn't know which of the players was wrong......

The other players also felt that what Desiglio said was nonsensical: "Just defend the left foot? So what if he shoots with his right foot? ”

The person who asked had a mocking tone, but Desiglio said very seriously: "He won't use his right foot." At least he won't shoot with his right foot in this game. ”

"Why?"

Desiglio said it so firmly that his teammates in the locker room who were laughing at him were a little suspicious.

'Because it's against us, AC Milan, he's definitely going to score with his left foot. I met him once last season in the development squad and scored a hat-trick and all three goals he scored with his left foot......

Before he could finish speaking, Allegri interrupted him with some impatience: "The game of the reserve team has no reference point. ”

Desiglio hesitated, but insisted: "No, coach, it's not related to the game of the reserve team. At the beginning, the Milan laboratory thought that Gao's left foot was a major hidden danger and was not suitable for professional football, so he terminated his contract with the club and left. Gao insisted on scoring three goals with his left foot in that game, and I think he probably wanted to prove in front of AC Milan that he was okay with his left foot......

With that, he turned to the rest of his teammates: "And didn't you notice?" Gao didn't have a single right-footed shot on goal in the first half, regardless of whether the goal was scored or not, it was all left-footed shots. ”

After he finished speaking, there was a silence in the locker room, some people were surprised by Gao Zheng's obsession, and couldn't understand how a person could be stubborn to such a point and prove himself in such a strange way.

Some people are thinking back to the first half, wanting to see if Gao Zheng really only used his left foot to shoot.

However, Allegri's face changed, and he quickly thought that Gao Zheng was really ...... in the first half There is no way to shoot outside of the left foot.

But he still thought it was incredible.

The difficulty of the reserve team is relatively low, and this is the first team, which is the first round of the Serie A league, the official competition.

Gao Zheng would even insist on shooting with his left foot on this occasion, just to prove that the diagnosis of his left foot by the Milan laboratory was wrong?

Isn't everything in the Milan lab in the past over?

There are also many people who have this idea, and they think it is bizarre, absurd, and incredible - how could anyone do this?

"That guy is crazy, isn't he? Did he think he could defeat us with just one foot? Immediately, the AC Milan player said dissatisfied.

More people are shaking their heads, thinking it's impossible.

There can be no such people, it is impossible to defeat them with one foot.

Even head coach Allegri shook his head and said, "Thank you for this very strange idea, Mattia. Let's talk about tactical ......"

He still didn't believe Desiglio's claims.

Faced with this scene, Desiglio had no choice. He made his guesses and persuaded others to believe what he said, but if they didn't, he couldn't do anything.

He's just a newcomer to this team after all. He played just three league games and two Champions League games for the first team last season, not even a fringe figure in this team, but more often than not, he played in the reserves.

His words don't carry weight, and people don't believe him easily, they just think it's a whimsical of a young player, and some young people do use some ridiculous things to attract the attention of others, to attract the attention of the manager.

He was silent.

Carmona, who was sitting next to him, touched him lightly, lowered his voice and comforted: "You have done your best, it is their business whether to listen or not." ”

"I don't want us to lose the game......" Desiglio whispered with his head down.

"Nobody wants to. But they know so little about Gao, and they only treat Gao as an ordinary young genius......" Carmona had a somewhat mocking tone in his tone. "Some things sound incredible, but they don't think so when they see them."

"Then it's too late." Casirio said. 'I decided, I'm going to do that in the second half, and I'm not going to let a high shot go easily.'

"You're a right wing-back, Gao is a centre-forward, you can't always run to the middle, can you?"

"Do the best I can. Gao has only scored two goals now, and he is one goal away from scoring a hat-trick – and I guess his goal in this game is definitely a hat-trick and I'll stop him. With that, Desiglio looked up, a glimmer of light in his eyes.

My former teammate has become an amazing figure who can calm down the whole of San Siro, but I'll try to catch up with him!
