Chapter 241: This Is It?
After Giovinco converted the penalty, Juventus led Sampdoria 1-0 at home.
But it seemed that God did not think Juventus' advantage was big enough, and it was just six minutes after Giovinco's goal, which was the thirtieth minute of the match.
Berardi tackled Barzagli on the wing.
The referee blew his whistle again for a foul and showed a yellow card again!
"Yellow card! Oh, my God! This is Berardi's second yellow card of the game! In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Sampdoria was sent off! Number 13 Gaetano Berardi, as unfortunate as his number! He showed a foul in the box and then sent himself off with a second yellow card – the game wasn't for him today! ”
Sampdoria fans in front of the TV put their heads in their hands and were disappointed with the result.
Others pointed to the TV and complained: "This shouldn't be a yellow card!" It was a miscalculation! Damn Juventus! Damn phonegate! ”
CCTV commentator Liu Hong was very dissatisfied: "This yellow card is really debatable, a little too harsh...... You must know that the place of the foul is in the Juventus half, and at the same time on the wing, even if Belladi is a fine foul, but I think that in order to ensure the flow and enjoyment of the game, the referee Valery should also consider giving a verbal warning instead of giving another yellow card when there is already a yellow card on Belladi...... Now that the game has only started for 30 minutes, Sampdoria has one less person, and the score is still behind, how to play this game? ”
Because Juventus has a huge fan base in China, there are some things that Liu Hong must not say, and he can only express his doubts about this penalty so euphemistically.
Of course, he is on Gao Zheng's side.
Now that Sampdoria is behind in the score, there is one less person, how can they play? Gao Zheng was already on the cusp, and if he lost the game again, the saliva of those critics might drown Gao Zheng directly......
This is definitely not the outcome he wants to see.
Although he also thinks that it will be difficult for Sampdoria to beat Juventus away from home, he actually doesn't care much about the outcome of this game, he cares about whether Gao Zheng can score or not.
Now Sampdoria is one goal behind, one less person, the tactics will definitely be adjusted, for a long time the team will focus on defense, and there will be much less support for Gao Zheng.
You must know that Gao Zheng is facing the most powerful defense line in Serie A, plus a legendary goalkeeper.
Even if the whole Sampdoria team fully supported him, it would be difficult to break down the goal guarded by Buffon, not to mention how difficult it would be if Sampdoria contracted their defense and left him alone......
Although Liu Hong is in China, he also knows what happened to Gao Zheng recently. The troublemaker in Turin has already been revealed by Chinese fans on the Internet - Alfred Pastoria, a football reporter for Torino Sport, a journalist who has no other ability in the football world than to make up stories.
Fans often ridicule Torino Sports as a "Turin Sports Story", which is also due to Pastoria.
If Gao Zheng failed to break Buffon's goal in this game, I am afraid that the reporter Pastoria will not let Gao Zheng go easily after the game.
Although it is normal for a striker not to score in two consecutive games, Pastoria is able to make people feel that Gao Zheng has reached the end of his rope with a brilliant brush. Combined with what Gao Zheng said before, it successfully made the people who eat melons feel that Gao Zheng is to blame and deserves to be unlucky, and it is effortless at all!
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Liu Hong felt very unhappy and unhappy, and he held a fire in his heart.
※※※
In the press box at the Juventus Arena, Alfred Pastoria suddenly spotted two eastern faces just in front of him.
One of the faces was recognized by him, it was the Chinese journalist who revealed his identity to Gao Zheng outside the Mugnaini training base at that time, what was his name?
Pastoria frowned and thought about it, but didn't think about it.
Forget it, it doesn't matter, you don't need to know his name anyway.
"Hey! Chinese! Feed! ”
He squeezed over and yelled.
It succeeded in attracting the attention of the two Chinese journalists, who looked back to see him.
When Pastoria saw them, she deliberately showed a regretful expression on her face: "It's a pity, I thought it would be an evenly matched duel, but I didn't expect it to be without suspense so soon, it's so boring!" Do you know how much I'm looking forward to this game! Now I feel like all the work I've been doing for the week has been wasted...... It's too weak! ”
When Lu Bing and Wang Yixing saw his face, they were originally very dissatisfied with the referee's decision and Sampdoria's performance, but now they are even more angry.
The two of them wanted to go to him to "theorize", but were stopped by Frecello: "Calm down, two." If there is any conflict, I think it will be absolutely detrimental to the two of you......"
These words calmed down the two of them, yes, Gao Zheng said a few high-profile words, but they were scolded by public opinion like that, it was simply a lot of money and a lot of money...... And they are not as good as Gao Zheng in terms of fame and social status, if something really happens, the first thing that the domestic unit will do is to kill them to appease the anger of the foreigners......
They could only grit their teeth and stare at the triumphant Pastoria, clenching their fists tightly, but they couldn't really swing them in each other's faces.
Frecello was in front of Lu Bing and Wang Yixing, for fear that the other party would suddenly break out, and he was actually unhappy in his heart, but he knew better that the conflict in the media table was meaningless.
"If I were you, I would leave the scene and go back now, and I wouldn't be stuck in traffic, how nice." Pastoria continues to taunt.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the stands.
"It's high!" A reporter shouted from the media gallery.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the pitch at the same time, including Pastoria.
They didn't have time to see Gao Zheng stop the long pass in the Sampdoria backfield to a suitable distance with his chest just now, and they only had time to see Gao Zheng pick up his right leg and shoot in the run!
With an exclamation, the ball flew low over the turf and flew straight to the back of the goal!
Buffon, who came out to block the angle of the shot, fell to the ground and made a side save almost at the same time as Gao Zheng's shot - he rubbed the football with one palm, causing the football to deflect slightly and fly out of the far post!
"Buffon! He made a great save! It was Gao's first shot on goal since the start of the game! In fact, from receiving long passes from the back to shooting, Gao did a great job, and he got rid of the Juventus defenders in one go...... But in the end, he still couldn't get over the mountain! Gian Luigi Buffon! He stopped Sampdoria from this brilliant counterattack! ”
Caresa was not shy about Buffon's performance.
In the stands of the Juventus Arena, there were cheers and applause from Juventus fans, all for Buffon.
But Buffon, who was cheering, was not complacent because he made a wonderful save, and when he got up, he pointed at Chiellini and yelled: "Concentrate, you let him stop the ball and throw it off!" ”
He cares more about the overall performance of the defence than his own wonderful performances...... That's why Juventus have conceded just eleven goals in eighteen league games this season.
While others cheered for him, he was thinking about how not to give his opponent a chance at all.
This is the mountain that Gao Zheng will encounter in this game - can he really climb it?
