Chapter 462: Side by side with the legend
Everyone thought that Sampdoria and Udinese would be inseparable in this game, after all, Udinese was obviously going to put a bus in front of the goal.
In many people's predictions, it may be difficult to score in the first half of this game. If Sampdoria had been patient enough, they might have been able to score in the second half.
But it's hard to say whether Gao Zheng can score goals.
But no one expected that the game had only started for ten minutes, and not only Sampdoria scored, but Gao Zheng also scored.
The biggest suspense of the game before the game collapsed.
The only reason to support the full swing of the Udinese bus is gone.
In the stands, Borata, who was traveling with the team, pointed to Gao Zheng in the stadium and said to his son: "Didn't you ask me why I was willing to let Gao leave?" Isn't that obvious? Whether it is Sampdoria or Serie A, it can no longer accommodate the high. Our pond is so big, and as soon as Gao came in, he squeezed out all the water, how could others play? So he has to leave Sampdoria and he has to leave Serie A. You see Udinese has put so much effort into defending against the heights, and the result? Ten minutes and they failed......"
The son didn't speak, silently looking at Gao Zheng who was celebrating the goal with his teammates on the field, he was used to Gao Zheng coming to their store from time to time to buy Focaccia, and then chatting with his father for a while.
This big star on the court, but off the court, he is like an ordinary person.
The thought that the star would never appear in the store again made him feel a little uncomfortable.
As a Sampdoria fan, he can't be as clear as his father, and he still can't let go of Gao Zheng's possible departure, hoping that Gao Zheng can continue to stay in Sampdoria.
Didn't you say that Sampdoria FC didn't have any money?
Then when Gao Zheng leads the team to win more championships, won't he be rich? Not only the prize money for the championship, but also the investment attracted by the number of championships...... By the way, there are also Chinese, Chinese are so rich, they see Gao Zheng playing in Sampdoria, won't they come to cooperate with our club and invest in us?
When we have money, buy more stars, form a more effective team, and take Gao Zheng as the core, why can't we become giants?
But now seeing this scene, he also feels that even if Gao Zheng himself is willing to stay, I'm afraid Sampdoria Club will not allow this scene to happen - with Gao Zheng's current performance, how valuable is he in the transfer market? And how could Sampdoria FC not make such a large sum of money in front of them?
He sighed, Sampdoria is a small team that is destined to not retain talent, especially the kind of shining superstar...... Superstars should go to wealthy clubs, and small clubs should not be delusional, even if they are forced to stay, I am afraid they will not be able to raise ......

After Gao Zheng's goal, Udinese's morale was obviously seriously affected.
When the game restarted, they didn't continue to put the bus - nonsense, the purpose of the bus was to prevent Gao Zheng from scoring, but Gao Zheng has now scored a goal, so what is the need for this bus?
Udinese, who no longer put the bus, decided to come out and play against Sampdoria, and since it was their home stadium, of course, it was impossible to tolerate the result of losing in the end.
Sampdoria, on the other hand, was originally an active attacking tactic.
So the two teams went head-to-head for the next 80 minutes of the game.
In the 27th minute, Udinese, who were playing at home, equalized by Di Natale.
Five minutes later, in the 32nd minute, Di Natale scored twice to help Udinese take the lead.
Just eight minutes into the second half, in the fifty-third minute, Gao Zheng scored a goal to help Sampdoria equalize. It was his 32nd league goal of the season, but the commentators weren't as excited as they were when he scored his first goal.
Because after more than 30 goals, whether it is more than one or more than two, it means the same.
In the 55th minute, two minutes after Gao Zheng scored twice, he completed his hat trick of the game.
Helped Sampdoria take the lead with a score of 3:2.
"Another hat-trick!"
"Thirty-three league goals, this is the 114th goal scored by Gao Zheng in Sampdoria in all competitions! It only took three seasons...... No, it's two and a half seasons, and he basically didn't ......play in the first half of the Serie B season," Liu Hong said excitedly. "It's horrible to have such an efficient goal rate!"
Even the Udinese fans at the Friuli Stadium stood up and gave Gao Zheng a round of applause, paying tribute to his wonderful performance, and also paying high tribute to the second person in the history of Serie A.
From now on, AC Milan's legendary goalscorer Gunnar Nodal is no longer alone.
Gao Zheng was a little surprised by the applause of the Udinese fans, and then he thanked the Udinese fans - he folded his hands and bowed to the stands where the Udinese fans gathered.
"What a beautiful scene!" Caresa sighed happily when she saw it. "Gao gave us a great goal and a great season. His performance in this match won over the Udinese fans, and the opponent Udinese fans couldn't help but applaud him. I think that's the best side of football, when you're simply impressed by the beauty of football, the distinction between teams and teams is forgotten...... Thank you Gao and thank you to the fans of Udinese......"
In addition, the camera also captured the captain of Udinese, Di Natale, who scored twice in today's game, giving Gao Zheng a thumbs up.
Heroes cherish heroes!

After Gao Zheng completed his hat-trick, the two sides continued to go back and forth, but did not score again until the end.
The final score was Sampdoria beating Udinese 3-2 away to end their 2012-2014 season with a victory.
Many years from now, Sampdoria fans will probably remember this incredible season from time to time.
At the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic about them, and entering the Champions League was considered to be a game home after the group stage, and many people thought that playing in the Champions League would affect the team's results in the league, and it was not good that the Champions League would not achieve anything in the end, and the league was still on the verge of relegation.
But who would have thought that Sampdoria not only fought out of the Champions League group stage and became the only Italian team to advance to the knockout stage, but also had no worries about relegation early in the league, and also won a championship in the Italian Cup by the way.
I thought it was a very difficult season, but in the end, there was a bumper harvest.
The Coppa Italia title belongs to them, the Champions League round of 16 results are also remarkable, Gao Zheng defended the top scorer title, and scored more than 30 league goals in two consecutive seasons, alongside the legendary goalscorer Gunnar Nodal.
Although it has not yet reached the peak of Sampdoria's glory in the 90s of the last century, in today's football environment, Sampdoria can still produce such a result, which can be regarded as a very remarkable achievement.
After the game, Gao Zheng went to the referee to ask for the ball for the game as a souvenir. This is the usual practice for players who score a hat-trick.
Careza joked: "Gao may have to make a room in his house for the commemorative football of these hat-tricks, otherwise he won't be able to put ...... at all"
Then he changed his words: "I hope to see Gao in Serie A next season." But my gut tells me that with Gao's performance this season, it may be difficult for Sampdoria to keep him. I don't know if Gao can still look at Serie A, if he thinks Serie A is no longer difficult for him, then he may choose to leave...... If that's the case, I'll be sorry that our league can't keep such good talent, but I'll respect Gao's choice because it's a smart thing to do...... From the perspective of professional footballers, staying in Serie A is definitely not the best choice. Anyway, I would like to thank Gao for all the beautiful goals and hot topics that Gao has brought us in these two seasons......"
Gao Zheng held the football in one hand, raised it with the other and waved to the Sampdoria fans who came with the team and cheered for the team.
In the stands, the fat boss Borata also waved his hand to Gao Zheng.
It's as if two people are saying goodbye to each other.
