When Carmona, who started the game, walked onto the pitch with his teammates, he finally saw the legendary Gao Zheng.

He was wearing a coat, sitting on the bench, and he looked ordinary, completely different from what Desiglio said. This disappointed Carmona a bit.

So he said to Desiglio, who was standing beside him, "Look, Mattia, that Gao is just a substitute. If he's really good, why didn't Sampdoria's manager start him? I think maybe Gao was really good before, but after he was injured and left AC Milan, he probably didn't have the same level as you said. ”

Desiglio looked at Gao Zheng in a daze.

is a little different from Gao Zheng in his memory, both in appearance and temperament, it has changed.

He has long hair, he seems quiet on the bench alone, if he doesn't know him, it's really easy to be overlooked, although he has a height of 1.9 meters, he doesn't look like the kind of person who can be noticed at a glance.

It's completely different from when he was at AC Milan's Under-16s.

At that time, no matter where he was, he could be found at a glance, and he was always the most eye-catching and dazzling one.

From leaving Wismara to playing for Sampdoria Reserves, what happened to him in the intervening period?

Desiglio was so confused that he didn't bother to answer Carmona.

Not only Desiglio, but other players in the AC Milan team also set their eyes on Gao Zheng when they played.

Some of them are Gao Zheng's former teammates, such as Simone Wildi, who was a substitute for Gao Zheng in the U16. There are also people who haven't played with Gao Zheng much but have heard of him, such as midfielder Simeone Calvano, who moved to AC Milan from Atalanta Reserves last January.

Gao Zheng was also observing the AC Milan players on the field, and he recognized many familiar faces.

Simone Verdi, Andrea DeVito, Michelangelo Albertazi, Nicola Pacini, Ricardo Pichteli ......

Compared to the drastic changes in the midfield, the defence has remained relatively stable.

This scene also made Gao Zheng a little embarrassed, when he left Vismara at that time, he really didn't expect that he would come back one day.

So he raised his hand to the familiar faces and said hello.

Hey guys, I didn't expect my Hu Hansan to come back again, right? Ha!

※※※

Carmona was surprised and asked Desiglio next to him, "What is he doing?" ”

Desiglio also said with some surprise: "Uh...... I think he should be greeting us. ”

"Say hello?" Carmona's eyes widened, what is this operation?

Desiglio didn't answer his words, the Gao Zheng he saw today was very different from the Gao Zheng in his impression, if it weren't for his appearance and figure, he would have to wonder if he recognized the wrong person......

He didn't remember Gao Zheng mentioning that he also had a twin brother......

After a simple pre-match ceremony, the game begins.

Stropa wasn't surprised that Gao Zheng didn't start, as he had carefully studied Gao Zheng's game profile in Sampdoria's reserves, and so far he has come off the bench in all his games, playing between 40 and 10 minutes, and it doesn't seem to be regular.

For example, his recorded first appearance for Sampdoria Reserves was when Sampdoria Reserves played just 14 minutes away at Parma Reserves, and then he had 40 minutes in the second Lighthouse derby.

As for why Sampdoria reserve coach Bruni must let Gao Zheng play as a substitute, Stropa doesn't quite understand.

However, judging from the data, Gao Zheng scored seven goals even if he came off the bench. This performance is naturally far from his performance in his AC Milan Under-16 team, but in Sampdoria's reserve team, he is already the fourth highest scorer in the team.

Statistically speaking, Gao Zheng should be the starter of Sampdoria's reserve team, but why is he sitting on the bench.

Stropa couldn't figure it out.

On the pitch, as soon as the game started, the AC Milan players focused on the game itself.

To be honest, if Gao Zheng didn't play, they really didn't pay attention to the Sampdoria reserve team in front of them.

With their strength, they should easily defeat their opponents and reach the second round.

But as the game progressed, the AC Milan reserve squad players realized that things were not what they had envisioned.

In the pre-match preparations, both the players and the manager were just focused on Sampdoria's attacking line.

Mauro Icardi scored like a goal, and Gao Zheng did not dare to take it lightly.

As for Sampdoria's backline...... No one paid any attention.

As a result, when they launched an attack on the goal of the Sampdoria reserve team, it was discovered that the defense of the Sampdoria reserve team was not as weak as expected......

Twenty minutes passed, and the attackers of the AC Milan reserve team were unable to break the Sampdoria reserve goal!

Especially in the attack that just ended, AC Milan reserves played a successful combination in front, seeing the football into the Sampdoria reserve penalty area, Simeone Verdi raised his foot to shoot, only to be just before him, Alberto Massi swooped out the ball and kicked the ball off the line. Although AC Milan was given a corner, it was not conceded directly.

Virdy didn't expect Marcy to appear in such a timely manner, and his feet were so timely and decisive, he held his head in his hands and had an expression of disbelief.

Marcy glanced back at him and snorted coldly in his heart: "Compared with the combination of the Great Demon King and the Argentine, this kind of attack is much easier to defend!" ”

Although he was abused into a dog by Gao Zheng and Icardi during training, which made everyone cry bitterly, now Marcy believes that his teammates in the back line must have the same idea as himself, that is, he sincerely thanks the big devil for giving them sparring partners.

AC Milan's reserves were unprepared for Sampdoria's defensive tenacity, and they became impatient when they encountered resistance in attack.

And impatience will not help them score, but will drag them back.

So at the end of the first half, the score was 0:0.

Sampdoria reserves put all their strength into letting go, they don't have the energy to attack, it's normal not to score.

It is not normal for AC Milan's reserves to bombard Sampdoria in the half, but not score a single goal.

This result made Stropa's face look unpleasant - his previous focus was on Gao Zheng and Icardi, but he didn't expect that it was the Sampdoria reserve backline that he didn't pay attention to in the game that made him suffer.

failed to take the lead in the first half, and had to worry about Gao Zheng who didn't know when to play in the second half......

Stropa was in a bad mood.

PS, yesterday's match between Germany and Sweden, the last one was really wonderful.

My thoughts on this game have been written in the official account linhaitingtao11 (林海听涛阁), and everyone is welcome to watch it.

As for today's game......

England's three-goal win over Panama was no suspense.

The match between Japan and Senegal was a bit interesting, and I prefer Senegal to beat Japan by two goals.

Tomorrow night's game, Poland and Colombia, I think Poland will beat Colombia by one goal!

In addition, in the first round of the World Cup group stage, I felt that time passed so slowly, and I felt that the first round of the group stage had been played for a long time. I didn't expect that the second round of the group stage is about to end now, and tomorrow will be the third round of the group stage......
