Chapter 130: Coming when called, and fighting when it comes
Center forward Gao Zheng retreated to the midfield again to get the ball.
Gao Zheng, who took the ball, did not pass the football out at the first time, facing Sassuolo midfielder Isaac Coffey who came up to defend him, his body fell to the left, and his center of gravity turned to the left, as if he wanted to break through with the ball from this side.
Coffey hurriedly turned around.
But Gao Zheng's leaning over was just a feint, his left foot stepped over the football without touching the football, and then he used the outside of his right foot to move the football to the right.
Kofi, who turned halfway around, quickly turned back again.
As a result, when he just turned around and strode towards Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng's right foot pushed the football forward, and the football drilled between Coffey's legs......
"Oh! Pretty crotch! Sirio's cheers upset the Sassuolo fans, but the Sampdoria fans in front of the TV cheered.
Gao Zheng, who had passed through the crotch of Kofi, flashed past him, caught up with the football, and was about to break through with the ball.
But Coffey is very tenacious, because of the media hype, every Sassuolo player is holding a breath in their hearts, that is, Gao Zheng must not be allowed to perform well in front of them!
So he gritted his teeth and turned around and chased after him again.
Gao Zheng's speed was not too fast, and Coffey caught up in two steps.
He overtook from behind the side, intending to cut off the ball at his feet while Gao Zheng was not paying attention.
How do you know that Gao Zheng is like having an eye in the back of his head, at the same time as Coffey rushed up, he suddenly made an emergency stop, and the outside of his right foot gently poked the football, and the football drilled between Coffey's legs for the second time, and Gao Zheng also changed direction again!
When Coffey saw the football passing under his crotch, he quickly stopped and turned around, wanting to pounce in front of Gao Zheng again - how could he endure such a shame and humiliation when Gao Zheng pierced his crotch twice in a row? Of course, it's with Gao Zheng.
But this time, when he turned halfway, the whole person seemed to have lost all strength, first froze in place, and then fell to the ground backwards.
He could no longer threaten Gao Zheng.
"Two crotch piercings in a row! Gao Huang knocked down Coffey! It's so lightweight! ”
Gao Zheng, who had passed Coffey, looked up and saw an open space behind the Sassuolo penalty area, so he raised his foot and passed the ball over.
A high ball flew straight to the back post, where the slotted Rispoli received the ball and swept it in front of Sassuolo.
The Sassuolo defenders didn't dare to slack off, and centre-back Lino Mazzolati got ahead of Pozzi behind him to clear the ball off the line - when you don't know what's going on behind you, kicking the ball straight out of the line is the most complete way to do it.
'As soon as they came on the pitch, Sampdoria created a dangerous attack and they won a corner...... Wait, there seems to be something going on in the midfield......"
The televised camera shifted to the midfield with Silio's words.
I saw that Coffey, who had fallen to the ground just now, did not get up, but continued to lie on the ground, holding his knees with his hands, with a very painful expression.
“…… Coffey fell to the ground when the defense was high, and now look at him like this...... It can't be a knee injury, right? ”
The referee has made a gesture to let the stretcher come on.
The TV broadcast also replayed a series of fights between Gao Zheng and Coffey just now, watching Coffey keep stopping and changing direction, until the last moment, when he fell to the ground halfway through, Silio let out an exclamation: "It's a knee!" The continuous change of direction overwhelmed Coffey's knee...... It's miserable, I don't know what effect this injury will have on him......"
When Coffey was carried on the stretcher, he covered his face with his hands, apparently knowing that he was not lightly injured.
Gao Zheng walked over and attached himself to Coffey's shoulder and patted it gently, although he didn't mean to hurt the opponent, but the opponent was indeed injured because of defending him, and he still had to express his apologies.

During the period when the game was interrupted by an injury to a player, the TV broadcast broadcast the whole process of causing Coffey's injury again and again, starting with Gao Zheng's first feint, and the series of feints were dizzying after another.
"With such a dense and continuous change of direction, Coffey does face a lot of pressure when defending...... Because he can only change direction passively, while Gao actively changes direction, he can choose when and where to turn in which direction, and Coffey can only follow after Gao has made a move, so the burden on his knee is naturally great......" Narrator Sirio explained to the TV audience why Coffey was injured.
The Sampdoria fans in the bar and the Chinese students focused on Gao Zheng's passing.
Coffey injured his knee because of the continuous change of direction, but Gao Zheng's continuous change of direction seemed very relaxed, even chic and freehand, compared to him, Coffey was much more embarrassed......
"Tsk! It's really worthy of Gao Zheng! I don't have to say anything about this foot technology! ”
"Every time I watch him play, it's still hard for me to imagine why a big man with a height of 1.9 meters can do this little technique so beautifully......"
The international students who know the ball are full of praise for every technical detail that Gao Zheng has shown in this series of achievements.
Those who don't know much about ball, just watch the lively international students repeat vigorously: "Handsome!" It's handsome! It's so handsome! ”
For example, Xiao Yingying, who was next to Feng Shiyu, had her eyes shining: "It's so chic!" ”
Feng Shiyu was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Xiao Gao, who was no different from ordinary people before he went on the court, turned into a "high" in the mouth of the commentator as soon as he got the ball.
This kind of Xiao Gao really looks a little strange, but it does seem that there is a glimmer of light hanging over him......
The Xiao Gao she knew before was just a kind and enthusiastic ordinary person, and Xiao Gao on the TV screen really had the temperament of a star.
Seeing this somewhat unfamiliar Xiao Gao, Feng Shiyu somehow remembered the words of her roommate Xiao Yingying.
He and he really look like people from two worlds.

After Sassuolo's substitution, the game continued.
Gao Zheng injured his teammates as soon as he came on the field, and the remaining Sassuolo players didn't have a good impression of Gao Zheng anymore, and the defenders defended Gao Zheng strictly and didn't even give him a chance to shoot.
They're going to teach this arrogant boy a hard lesson!
It seems that Gao Zheng is indeed difficult to get a chance, and it is difficult for him to even turn in front of the opponent's defense. If he can't turn, he won't be able to pose a threat to Sassuolo's goal.
"Gao was heavily defended by Sassuolo's players and couldn't even turn around...... It's not going to go on like this......"
In order to get out of the current defensive situation, Gao Zheng increased his range of motion, he ran from the middle to the wing, and then from the side to the ribs.
But no matter how he runs, he always has his back to the attack.
When he reached the ribs, he again motioned to his teammate to pass the ball to him, and although he still had his back to the goal, the teammate who got the ball passed it to him.
Gao Zheng didn't stare at the football when it was kicked over, but quickly turned his head to look behind him, and found that about a meter behind him, there was indeed a Sassuolo player, their central defender Mazzolati.
But beyond that, there is no one else.
There was no one behind the Sassuolo defender.
Gao Zheng knew what to do.
He quickly adjusted his posture, and when the football was about to roll to his feet, he leaned back slightly, stretched out his left foot, straightened his instep, and jumped up on his toes at the moment when the football hit his toes, and quickly shook his ankle and picked the football behind him!
The ball arced from the outside of his body and flew behind him.
At the same time, Gao Zheng turned around from the other side and bypassed Mazzolati!
When Mazzolati saw the football flying from the left side of his body, he just wanted to break the ball, when he suddenly saw Gao Zheng coming around from the right, and his attention was immediately attracted by Gao Zheng.
But it was too late for him to stop Gao Zheng, his whole body froze in place, and it looked as if Gao Zheng had cast a little acupoint Dafa on him when he turned around.
"Turn around! Oh——!! Pretty ——!! Celio roared.
The football and Gao Zheng met again in the penalty area, and Gao Zheng pushed the football forward with the outside of his right foot, followed by a push.
The ball rolled against the turf towards the near corner, and despite Sassuolo goalkeeper Alberto Pomini's save, he was a little slower to react to the near corner push.
The soccer ball rolled into the goal against the goalpost!
