Chapter 57: It's Not Luck
When Gao Zheng kicked the goalkeeper's high ball directly behind him, there was an exclamation in the stands.
It's an exclamation.
Not cheers.
AC Milan fans didn't expect Sampdoria's tall man to be so agile, and his leg didn't seem to move too much, and he actually picked the ball past Strasser that was not easy to stop.
Some people in the stands have already begun to talk about Gao Zheng.
"Who's that tall man......"
"It's strange, why do I feel a little familiar? Hell, I haven't seen him before......"
"When did Sampdoria have such a great character in the reserves?"
Perrin heard such a chatter in the corner, and the corners of his mouth curled.
※※※
Sampdoria won a corner, and Gao Zheng stood in the penalty area as a matter of course.
He noticed that AC Milan defender Desiglio was looking straight at him, so he smiled and said, "What, Mattia. You look at me like that, but you can't stop me. ”
Desiglio came back to his senses and exclaimed in a low voice, "It's really you, high!" ”
"It's me, Mattia. I'm back again. But now is not the time to catch up, is it? Gao Zheng pointed to the corner flag area.
Desiglio suddenly realized, but did not leave, but stood next to Gao Zheng: "I defend you, Gao." ”
"Don't be nervous, Mattia, you know I'm not good at heading." Gao Zheng smiled at him.
Desiglio has never seen Gao Zheng who loves to laugh so much, obviously he has encountered such a thing, why can he always put a smile on his face now? What the hell happened to him?
'It's not just the header, it's high, you're a big threat in the box. Desiglio said.
"Mattia, it looks like we haven't played together in a long time." Gao Zheng said while looking left and right. "Growing up, when did you see me taking the initiative to get to the middle to fight for a header in a corner?"
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and ran out.
And Desiglio was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and when he wanted to chase Gao Zheng, he was already trapped by the dense crowd in the restricted area.
And at that moment, Sampdoria reserves took a corner!
Desiglio could only watch Gao Zheng retreat first and then go back to the back point......
And football, too, flew to the back point!
Gao Zheng began to adjust his pace in the process of running to the back point, and after he strode to the back point, he directly wheeled with his left foot and volleyed!
Bang.
He hit the ball with a solid left foot on the instep of his foot.
The drawn ball made an arc in the air, just past AC Milan goalkeeper Pichteli's upward-swinging arm, and then fell headlong into the net in the back corner of the goal!
Only five minutes after playing, Gao Zheng broke the deadlock on the field!
There was a dead silence on the bench and in the dugout for AC Milan, who had yet to react, while the Sampdoria reserve team cheered.
※※※
When he saw Gao Zheng volley and pump the football into the goal at a very small angle, Guo Wei finally couldn't hold back and shouted in the stands.
Then a cold sweat broke out on his back - he craned his neck, ready to meet the angry stares of the AC Milan fans.
But no.
No one looked at him.
Even after he shouted, there were people in the stands who screamed, and they screamed louder than he did.
This surprised him – was he not the only one who disguised himself as an AC Milan fan and came in to cheer on Sampdoria?
But he soon heard the exclamations of the AC Milan fans: "It's high!" It's high! It's high! ”
Guo Wei was directly stunned - AC Milan fans were chanting Gao Zheng's surname, what was going on?
The sound of "high" is popping out of the mouths of more and more AC Milan fans.
"That's that high! Damn it! I should have remembered him when I saw his height......"
"But how can Gao be in the Sampdoria reserves? He's not our ......."
"Brother, how many years have you not been to Wismara to watch the youth team play? Gao left the club more than a year ago. ”
"Why?"
"Seriously injured, continuous injury, the club may feel that Gao has no future, so he will terminate the contract......"
"I still remember when I didn't see Gao in Vismara, I thought he was on loan, but I didn't expect it to be a ...... of termination."
"Why did Gao, who was dismissed by us, go to Sampdoria and score such a beautiful goal against us?!"
Someone asked this question, and a group of people looked at each other, and no one could answer.
At this time, Guo Wei really wanted to raise his hand and stand up, and said very forcefully: "I'm sorry, I think I can answer your questions......"
But he resisted the urge to do so.
He is here to cheer Gao Zheng on, not to cause trouble.
He didn't want to affect Gao Zheng's performance on the court because of his own affairs.
Standing in the corner, Perrin listened to the conversation of the men clearly.
He really didn't expect that the nightmare in his heart, Gao Zheng, was terminated by AC Milan Club......
It seems that after a serious injury, the club felt that he had no potential to develop, so they terminated his contract. This would explain why he did not stay at AC Milan and went to Sampdoria, which presumably Sampdoria did not mind his injury and recruited him into his ranks.
As a result, Sampdoria gained a strong attacker, while AC Milan was scored a goal by Gao Zheng in the game.
It's stupid......
Palin has a heartfelt comment for AC Milan's academy management.

"Hell!" Stropa jumped up from the dugout and cursed.
"Calm down, Giovanni, it's just a balloon...... "Halfway through his speech, he saw Stropa turn his head to stare at him, "uh, what's wrong?" ”
"That's not a balloon, Philip." Stropa said. Gao went around the back post before the corner was taken, and Sampdoria's free-kick was kicked right to the back post...... It's their set-piece tactics. ”
Gary laughed dryly, "I know, Giovanni. I mean, the shot high, the result of this goal had a lot of luck - that volley from a tight angle......"
"Philip, you're the head of the academy and you have so much to worry about. I've been a manager and I know very well that Gao has the ability to hit the ball straight into the net from a tight angle, and he scored that kind of goal when he was an Under-16. ”
Gary frowned, "Really? ”
"Really, we were playing against Juventus Under-16s and he scored a similar goal. As for training, he went in more. Otherwise, why do you think he is the most talked-about talent in the Under-16s? ”
After Stropa finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Galli, but turned to his assistant coach and gave the latest instructions: "Let them strengthen their high defense, increase physical confrontation, and don't let him take the ball easily!" ”
From childhood to adulthood, Gao Zheng's physical confrontation was not his strong point. As Gao Zheng's U16 coach, Stropa is certainly well aware of this.
In the junior team, the proportion of physical confrontation is not very large, and Gao Zheng can kill opponents of that age group with his excellent skills.
But the reserves are very close to the first team game, everyone is 19 to 20 years old, the strength is much higher, and the physical confrontation is very common.
He believes that if Gao Zheng's physical strength has improved greatly, how can Bruni, the head coach of Sampdoria's reserve team, let him be a substitute for every game?
Since he is a substitute, he must have a flaw in this regard.
It's up to you to take advantage of that.
"I thought you admired Gao, Giovanni. I didn't expect you to deal with him more than I thought you would......" Gary teased as Stropa sat back in the dugout.
"I really admire Gao, so I know how terrible he is, Philip. At the very least, if I had been in charge, I would never have let such a terrible person go, and I would not have given him a chance to be our opponent at all. Even if he is destined to be a glass man, he must be in our ranks. ”
Philip Gary opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

PS, Japan and Senegal played to a 2-2 draw yesterday, and it was an equalizer after falling behind twice.
The Japanese team played really well, they fully showed their technical and tactical characteristics, and compared to yesterday's South Korea, I don't know how high it is.
Japanese football is now on the right track. It's embarrassing to think about how they were beaten by us in the Olympic qualifiers 30 years ago.
The progress of Japanese football is not due to the emergence of certain talents, but to the strict implementation of the football centennial plan.
Scientific management, careful implementation, and far-sighted planning, from campus football to professional football, it took year after year, generation after generation of football people, Japanese football finally made a breakthrough.
In China, on the other hand, if you learn that today, you will learn this tomorrow, and in the end, all your studies will be abandoned halfway through. We've wasted time, we've wasted talent, we've wasted money and love, and we're still a mess.
Regarding today's game, Egypt should be able to beat Saudi Arabia by three goals, while Russia and Uruguay should shake hands.
The game in the early hours of the morning was actually a do-or-die battle for Spain and Portugal - if they want to qualify, they will have to beat their opponents and win the game.
Spain are outstanding, and there should be no suspense in beating Morocco by two goals.
It's hard to say on the Portuguese side, with the performance of the two teams in the last game, I think Portugal may be planted at the feet of Iran this time and lose to Iran by one goal. Will Cristiano Ronaldo score? I don't know......
