Chapter 200: Tears of Genius
After the start of the second half, Desiglio paid close attention to Gao Zheng's movements, and as long as he moved in an area close to his side, he would go over to help defend.
With Gao Zheng's activity, AC Milan has shifted the focus of defense to his side, and when he is always facing several people defending over there, he will naturally consider changing directions.
So Desiglio still has a chance.
Seven minutes into the second half, Gao Zheng got a chance. He switched to Bonella's side, and when he picked up his right foot to shoot, Bonella thought that Gao Zheng was going to shoot, so he quickly gave up his center of gravity and blocked the shot with his body.
Who knew that Gao Zheng was just a feint, his right foot fell not to shoot, but to smash the ball, and then he turned around and shot with his left foot!
Desiglio was ready next to him, and when Gao Zheng was about to shoot with his right foot, he was unmoved, and after seeing Gao Zheng dunk Bonella, he immediately flew forward and blocked the football shot by Gao Zheng from the bottom line.
"Desiglio made a contribution, he blocked Gao's shot!"
Gao Zheng saw that his shot was blocked and glanced at Desiglio.
"I'm not going to let you score any more, high." Desiglio said to Gao Zheng with a firm expression.
"You're welcome, Mattia, then." Gao Zheng smiled at him.

When Gao Zheng faced Bonella, he repeated his old trick again, shooting with his right foot, but the result was a feint, and after deducting it, he shot with his left foot again.
Desiglio, who was ambushed behind Bonella, stepped forward again to block Gao Zheng's left-footed shot.
As a result, Gao Zheng was still a feint this time, he picked up his left foot, but he didn't kick it down. After shaking Desiglio, he flicked the ball into the box with the outside of his left foot, followed up with a shot!
Fortunately, Abbiati's attention was very focused this time, and he swooped sideways and slapped the football out.
Allegri, who saw this scene in front of the dugout off the field, frowned, and he remembered what Desiglio had said at half-time.
Although he still can't understand why, the reality is in front of him, Gao Zheng did only shoot with his left foot.
Is it really angry with AC Milan?
But...... One foot to beat us? What do you think of my team!
Abbiati got up from the ground and yelled at his teammates, "Mattia is right! Defend his left foot! ”
Other AC Milan players also reacted at this time, and after the start of the second half, Gao Zheng's two shots were left-footed, and it could be seen that he deliberately wanted to shoot with his left foot. Even if there is a chance to shoot with the right foot, it will be turned over and replaced with the left foot, and it looks like a left-handed person who does not use the right foot at all.
Like Allegri, they are very puzzled by Gao Zheng's practice of using his left foot, but now is not the time to exhaustively investigate the "why", first guard Gao Zheng to avoid conceding more balls.
Desiglio wasn't happy that his teammates finally understood him, and he was eyeing Gao Zheng when Abbiati said that.
Gao Zheng was in the AC Milan penalty area, and he obviously heard what Abbiati said.
So he smiled and said to Desiglio: "Mattia, aren't you afraid that I will suddenly switch to a right-footed shot?" ”
Desiglio shook his head: "Yes, you won't. When the reserve team played, there were no Galliani and Sir Berlusconi in the stands. ”
The implication is that you did this at the time, and now that there are two big guys in the stands, don't you work harder?
Gao Zheng spread his hands and said: "Actually, the matter of the Milan laboratory has passed......"
Desiglio stared at Gao Zheng: "I don't believe it." ”
Gao Zheng smiled helplessly.

When AC Milan began to defend Gao Zheng's left foot, Gao Zheng's shooting threat was indeed reduced.
Sampdoria is not only Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng can't shoot himself, but he can pass the football to his teammates and let them shoot.
Gao Zheng is a center forward, but he is not the kind of center that is highly dependent on his teammates and needs his teammates to assist him, and he can only shoot himself.
He is a relatively well-rounded centre-forward who can not only score on his own, but also pass the ball to his teammates, assist his teammates, and connect the midfield.
However, he couldn't shoot on goal himself, and there was still some impact on Sampdoria's attack, which was not so seriesive.
AC Milan's own attack was slightly better than in the first half, but they were unable to find the back of the net against Sampdoria. Al-Shaarawy had high expectations before the game, but the actual performance was disappointing.
Especially under the backdrop of Gao Zheng......
It can't be said that El Shaarawy doesn't work hard, but it could just be that he works too hard, only thinking about scoring goals and ignoring other things.
He has fallen behind Gao Zheng by two goals in terms of goals, and now when Gao Zheng is restricted from shooting and can only pass the ball to his teammates, everyone has found that in terms of tandem attack and cooperation with teammates, Shaarawy is far inferior to Gao Zheng......
There are even some AC Milan fans who think that if Gao Zheng and Shaarawy are swapped, even if Gao Zheng does not score and only relies on passing, AC Milan should now be able to lead Sampdoria by two goals.
Allegri shook his head off the pitch and said to assistant coach Mauro Tasotti: "Let Pazzini warm up." ”
Tasotti nodded, and although he didn't ask who he was going to replace, he knew it.
Stefan El Shaarawy didn't perform as well as he could have done, and although he did well in training, he didn't know how to get it when it came to the game.
He's definitely going to have to be replaced.
Now that the pressure at the back is not so great, Allegri will surely be hoping to break through in attack. If you can score a goal and narrow the score gap with Sampdoria, then you can put pressure on Sampdoria, and with home advantage, it is not impossible to win in the end......
※※※
Pazzini is indeed going to replace El Shaarawy.
When the fourth official held up the substitution sign on the sidelines, everyone saw the number that had been replaced: 92.
This is the number of Shaarawy.
Al-Shaarawy seemed to be in disbelief that he had been substituted in the past 60 minutes, and he kept pointing his hand at him, and Tasotti on the sidelines yelled at him impatiently: "Yes, it's you!" Hurry down! ”
Under such circumstances, Shaarawy reluctantly ran off the field.
He looked very frustrated, and after a brief handover to Pazzini, he went straight to the bench without even communicating with head coach Allegri.
He sat on the bench and looked at the pitch with his eyes lost.
Before the game, he was high-spirited and worked hard and seriously in training, just wanting to play with Gao Zheng in the game.
He imagined what the situation would be with Gao Zheng, he thought that Gao Zheng would score, but he would definitely score goals himself. Maybe it was Gao Zheng who scored first, but he quickly equalized, and then scored twice to overtake the score. He even thought that the worst outcome would be that after he equalized, Gao Zheng scored again, and then the team could not equalize again for a long time, and he was also tightly restricted by the Sampdoria defenders, until the last moment of the game He helped the team equalize, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's distraction after conceding the goal to beat Sampdoria......
But the worst result was that he was substituted early and did not score a goal.
In the competition with Gao Zheng, he became a complete loser.
Those online remarks are right, Gao Zheng is better than him!
This is hard for Shaarawy to accept.
Thinking of this, he felt that his eyes were a little sour......
Carmona's surprised voice sounded next to him: "Stefan, you're crying?!" ”
Shaarawy touched his face with his hand, only to find that there were already tears on his cheeks, and he quickly wiped them away: "No, I just got my eyes into the sand......"
"There's no sand on this field...... Carmona wondered.
Shaarawy had already ignored him, and he put the sweat-wiping towel over his head, then pulled it down so that the towel covered his eyes so that the camera could not easily capture his face.
For the first time in his football career, the proud prodigy Shaarawy has suffered such a big blow.
