Chapter XXXIX: "Compensation"
Encouraged by Parin, the Genoa players picked themselves together and reprepared for the game.
Everyone was thinking about what Palin said, and they still had a goal ahead.
This is important.
It's only one goal ahead, but it's still a lead.
In a game like the Lighthouse Derby, sometimes it's a goal that makes the difference.
With this confidence, they continued to compete with their sworn enemies in the same city.
After the game restarted, Gao Zheng naturally faced greater defensive pressure than when he first came on the field because of the goal.
Bruni, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene with a visibly focused expression, and he said to Casirio, the assistant coach next to him: "Look, Alfredo, now let's see what else Gao can do." ”
His tone made Casirio feel as if Bruni was not directing the game, but watching a good movie, full of anticipation for what was to come......

The head coach of the Genoa reserve team, Sidio Corradi, pointed at Gao Zheng and reminded his players loudly: "Strengthen the physical confrontation!" That kid looks so weak! ”
Jelenic took advantage of the shoulder rush and knocked Gao Zheng to a stumbling ground.
As for the ball at his feet, he naturally lost it.
"Sure enough, it's a stupid big guy who has nothing to show for it." Jelenich did not forget to ridicule Gao Zheng. "Go home and get your mom to feed, this is not the place for children!
In the face of Jelenich's deliberate provocation, Gao Zheng didn't show any anger, he smiled at Jelenich, and then turned around and ran away.
This made Jelenic a little surprised - wasn't this guy quite arrogant in the nightclub that day, and what "you don't deserve to know my name", why are you so cowardly today? In the face of their own provocations, they are simply indifferent......

"I'll just say it!" In the stands, Clarian Moretti chanted. "His body is his greatest weakness!"
No one contradicted him this time.
Because the facts are just in front of them, the referee did not say anything about the collision in Genoa just now, which shows that it was a reasonable collision, not a foul.
These fans know that if a player has the same fancy skills as Ronaldinho, but the body is like a kindergarten child, then no matter how good the skill is, it is meaningless, he can only show off in the kindergarten game, but he cannot set foot in the adult world half a step.
Seeing Gao Zheng lose the ball, Casirio couldn't help but sigh.
Brunie, who was next to him, leaned forward, supported his chin with one hand on his thigh, and continued to stare at the arena with great interest.
※※※
Seeing that Jelenic used physical confrontation to indeed make Gao Zheng lose the ball, the Naya reserve team players began to seek more physical confrontation with Gao Zheng.
In the eyes of the Sampdoria fans in the stands, Gao Zheng is like a small fishing boat in the stormy waves, tossed around, and may fall apart at any time.
"It's miserable...... Corarian Moretti said exaggeratedly, covering her face with her hands.
His companions around him were also sighing.
This kind of performance doesn't give people any hope for him at all. That goal just now seemed to be just luck......
※※※
Gao Zheng took the ball with his back to the offensive direction, this position was almost to the top of the free throw arc, which was a very dangerous position, so Sturaro behind him was desperately pushing him and pushing him away from the penalty area.
And Gao Zheng really looked like he couldn't help pushing like this, he stepped on the football with the foot away from Sturalo, making a ball protector, and at the same time stretched his arm back against Sturaro, but despite this, he was pushed out little by little.
Seeing that Gao Zheng was dealing with Sturaro wholeheartedly, Jelenic rushed up, intending to defend with Sturaro and launch a counterattack after cutting off the football.
But just as he stretched out his foot and swept towards the football, Gao Zheng, who was originally bent on dealing with Sturalo's pushing, suddenly pulled the football back in front of him and dodged Jelenich's sweep.
But he pulled the ball back, and although he avoided the first tackle, it also brought the ball closer to Sturalo, and he now had a good chance of stabbing it out with just a stab from the side.
In fact, Sturaro did the same, and when Gao Zheng had just pulled the football back, he cooperated with Jelenic to stretch out his foot and kick the football.
He believes that the two people will make Gao Zheng take care of one thing and make mistakes in his busyness.
But that didn't happen.
Gao Zheng just pulled the football back, and then pulled the football back and turned around!
Turning around, he not only regained the distance between himself and Sturalo, but also crashed into Jelenic with all the strength of his body. Jelenich's first rush was empty, but before he could come back to his senses, suddenly his eyes went dark - a tall figure rushed to his face!
Then he felt a tremendous force pressing down on him, and for a moment, he was even a little dizzy......
Gao Zheng, who bumped into Jelenich, leaned on him like this, using the latter as a wall, and then he immediately got up and picked the ball forward!
The ball flew over Sturaro's head and into the Genoa reserve penalty area.
"Oh——!!!" The Sampdoria fans in the stands once again gave a huge cheer after witnessing Gao Zheng's performance.
A Marseille slalom and a pick-and-roll pass, without any pause in between, is really hard to believe that this is made by a big man who is 1.9 meters tall......
Bruni couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but the reason why he raised his eyebrows was not because Gao Zheng's movements were coherent and smooth, but because he smelled something else from the movements he did in one breath - it seemed that Gao Zheng was forced to make such a choice by Genoa's double defense, but Bruni felt that this was Gao Zheng's intention to lure Genoa's two defenders, so that they inadvertently fell into his rhythm and were led by his nose......
This discovery made Bruni a little excited, and he sat up slightly straighter, still reminiscing about Gao Zheng's movements, and didn't seem to pay that much attention to what was going to happen next.

When the ball flew into the box, it was Icardi who ran to the spot where the ball landed, unloaded the flying ball with his chest, and then relied on the defender to shoot directly with a half-volley!
This time Perrin couldn't stop his shot again, and the ball went into the net!
The Sampdoria fans in the stands let out another huge cheer, delighted that the team had equalised.
Icardi turned his head to look at the goal after the shot and confirmed that he had scored. He then ran with open arms to celebrate the goal.
Behind him were equally excited Sampdoria teammates.
Gao Zheng was among them, he first pushed away Jelenich, who was leaning on him, and then ran to Icardi and joined the celebration team.
Behind him, Jelenich was stuck in his neck, bending over and coughing—when Gao Zheng hit him just now, his shoulder hit his throat, and he almost didn't catch his breath......
He coughed while looking up at Gao Zheng's back, his eyes cold.
※※※
Assistant coach Casirio was like the fans in the stands, cheering for the equaliser.
Bruni clapped with a smile on his face, his eyes resting on Gao Zheng's body.
This kid changed the game when he came on the field, and he used his extraordinary skill and great awareness to get the job done.
Don't worry about that left leg, Sampdoria really picked up the treasure this time!
※※※
After the celebration, Icardi ran back to the court, and when he saw Gao Zheng, he stepped forward and said to him very seriously: "The ball is passed beautifully, but I will not thank you, and there will be no idea of 'taking people's feet'." ”
Gao Zheng smiled and shook his head: "You're welcome, Mauro." It's compensation for your indirect assist in my goal. ”
To Icardi's ears, Gao Zheng's words were simply digging open the wound he had wanted to forget, and then sprinkled a handful of salt, cumin, and chili noodles...... Inside.
Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!
Icardi has been haunted by not hitting his first goal until now, otherwise, he would now be two goals ahead of Gao Zheng, instead of a 1-1 draw with Gao Zheng.
The Argentine regretted that he took the initiative to run in front of Gao Zheng, and he gritted his teeth and turned to run away.
Gao Zheng scratched his head, not understanding why Icardi's face suddenly changed...... He felt that he had said the wrong thing, and that he had indeed made amends to Icardi. Doesn't he like "food that comes from the mouth"?
It's really hard to guess what the second kid is thinking......

PS, three things, the first is that I plan to adjust the time of the second shift every day, after all, the World Cup has a game that kicks off at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, so in order not to affect everyone's watching the game, so the second shift time will be advanced to 5 pm. After reading the update, I just watched the World Cup, Meizizi.
The second thing is that the morning update missed a match, Croatia and Nigeria, and I fancy Croatia to beat Nigeria by one goal.
The third thing is, of course, yesterday's "double tooth fight", which I think anyone who didn't stay up late to watch this game will regret it. This is definitely the best match of this World Cup so far. A contest between team and individual heroism.
I said after the Egypt vs Uruguay match that for some teams, football is a sport where teams push up the pitch and then talent scores.
But this sentence is not suitable for Portugal, for Portugal, football is a sport that relies on Cristiano Ronaldo......
Spain actually played very well, and after the change of coach, they were able to play so well, playing the technical and tactical characteristics that they are good at, and with three goals, the performance was almost impeccable.
But Cristiano Ronaldo is a man who has made the great world champion and the European champion a backdrop for him.
When he stood in front of the ball in the 86th minute, pulled up his pants to show his thigh muscles, when he stared fiercely at the goal...... It's really handsome!
In fact, at the time of that free kick, I had a hunch that Ronaldo was going to score this goal, but I didn't dare to post on Weibo and Moments, I was afraid that it would not work if I said it......
Football is of course a team sport, but the World Cup is a stage for heroes, and on this stage of countless excellent teams, the stage staged in the early hours of this morning is called "Cristiano Ronaldo!" Cristiano Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo! The heroic epic.
A thirty-three-year-old man, carrying responsibilities and expectations, walked forward in the face of cold eyes and ridicule.
This is Cristiano Ronaldo, a god-like man.
