"Oh ho ho! A brace from a free-kick! Careza laughed as the ball flew into the goal. As if they don't believe in evil, Verona must test their ability to score from free kicks! ”

"But for Rigoni, he can't do it if he doesn't foul, if he doesn't foul, Gao is afraid that he will slip away from him......" Bergomi felt that this matter was unsolvable for Rigoni - the foul should be given to Gao Zheng for a free kick, and if he didn't foul, he might give Gao Zheng a single knife. He was also wronged......

"Free kick! Another free-kick score! Gao Zheng scored twice! It's really either three rounds of league games without scoring, or one score is two! Liu Hong is very happy that Gao Zheng has finally broken the goal drought, and he finally doesn't have to see those upsetting discussions in the media for a while.

What Gao Zheng is in a declining state, what Gao Zheng is not proud and complacent, what Gao Zheng is in trouble......

These discussions are sad just by looking at the headlines, and they are serious discussions, and now the media is really doing everything to attract attention and traffic.

Now it's okay, Gao Zheng slapped those people in the face, and they can finally shut up.

The world was suddenly clear.

※※※

After Gao Zheng scored two free kicks in a row, Verona's tough defensive tactics against him finally came to an end, and there was no way to continue, as long as he fouled, Gao Zheng could use the free kick to score......

However, there is not much time left until the end of the game.

In the end, Sampdoria beat Hellas Verona 2-0 away and finally got three points after a three-game winless run.

After seven league games, Sampdoria has 13 points and is in fifth place.

As a promoted horse, although the performance was inconsistent and a little up and down, this result is already very good.

You must know that the club's board of directors has given Di Francesco a target of relegation this season.

After the game, Gao Zheng mentioned his free kick score in an interview with reporters.

'I've been practising free-kicks all the time, just for times like this. I know that many people think I'm a bully when they see me being thin. I'm glad they thought that because it meant I had another chance to score. ”

The reason why Gao Zheng said this is that he hopes to use the mouth of the media to erect and spread his image of "free kicks are excellent", after all, if he is so targeted by opponents in every game, even if he can score with free kicks, he will be very tired. Not to mention that the probability of scoring a free kick is not so high, if the opponent violates his whole game, gives himself ten free kicks, and he doesn't score any of them, this is also normal in the game, but it is not good for Gao Zheng.

So he now needs to let everyone know that he is good at free kicks, and once this fixed impression is formed, his free kicks become a kind of nuclear weapon, which is not needed at all, mainly to deter the opponent and make the opponent dare not be ruthless to himself in the game.

Gao Zheng can solemnly promise: he will never use this strategic weapon first, as long as the other party does not foul him.

I have to say that against Verona, he felt good about his free kicks, and he scored two of them.

But there is no guarantee that he will score from a free-kick every time.

He believes that after this game, when other teams face him again, they will think more about whether to use that set of tactics to kill the enemy and lose 1,000 and 5.

Gao Zheng's team-mate Obiang later confirmed Gao's statement in the mixed zone: "He's been practising free kicks since I knew him, and he obviously knows how to deal with those foul tactics. I think he's done a great job......"

Alberto Massi made his first appearance in the game and did very well to keep a clean sheet for the team, but in a post-match interview, he did not talk about his performance, but told reporters: "Tall feet are full of magic and he has proven his free-kick ability time and time again in training. So when we got the free-kick, we were already thinking about how to celebrate. ”

He amused the reporters.

"It's blowing too much, Alberto!"

"No, I'm serious, and I'm not exaggerating!" Marcy shook his head with a serious expression. 'If you played with him when he was in the reserves, like me, you'd believe every word I say. Gao is the best talent I've ever seen, and he has that kind of strength. ”

His serious appearance frightened the reporters.

Di Francisco also endorsed Gao Zheng at the post-match press conference: "Yes, after training every day, Gao always gives himself half an hour of free kicks, which has been the case since the first day I met him, even during physical training. I'm glad that the effort he put in got the result he wanted in this match, and I'm not really worried at all about the opponent using the physical confrontation to contain Gao, and that's why. ”

As Gao Zheng expected, the media and the Internet the next day were full of discussions about Gao Zheng's free kick. The media flipped through and found that Gao Zheng had already scored with free kicks during the second division, so he really had a good ability to score free kicks, not talking big.

A player who is good at kicking the ball with his right foot, who scored a hat-trick with his left foot against AC Milan, can now score twice with a free-kick......

Does he have any other weaknesses?

Well...... It's really true, Gao Zheng's header is not good, this is something that everyone knows, and Gao Zheng has never denied this.

However, many people feel that a bad header is no longer a big problem, or to put it another way: fortunately, Gao Zheng's header is not good, if Gao Zheng is even very good at heading, it will make people wonder if he is an alien, and now it seems that he is still a normal human being, which is really relieved......

After announcing the end of training, Di Francesco saw Gao Zheng take a football and a moving wall to the training ground to practice free kicks, and he was used to this scene.

But when he saw the place where Gao Zheng placed the football, he was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing so far?" ”

Curious, he walked up.

Gao Zheng saw that it was the head coach, so he explained: "I suddenly thought of a question, coach. The place where you would have been in the penalty area is the danger zone, and the defenders will not easily foul each other. But my range of activity is not only around the penalty area, sometimes I will drop back into the midfield, if they foul me at this time, even if they give me a free kick, it is a free kick away from the goal, it will not pose much of a threat to the goal, but it can hinder our attack......"

Di Francesco nodded: "Yes, that's right. In fact, against Verona, when you scored two free-kicks, they did that, pressing you hard when you were dropping. ”

"So I thought, if I can kick a free kick straight into the goal from a distance away from the goal, won't that solve the problem?"

Di Francesco was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gao Zheng to think and solve problems from this perspective......

Theoretically, Gao Zheng's approach is of course correct, but in practice it is not so easy, because the farther a free kick is from the goal, the lower the threat, and the probability of scoring a long-distance free kick is much lower than that of a free kick from a suitable distance. Scoring a long-range free-kick goal is easy to say, but how easy is it to do?

I didn't expect Gao Zheng to stumble on this problem.

When Di Francisco was stunned, Gao Zheng had already set up the football, and then ran and kicked the football towards the goal about 38 meters away.

The soccer ball flew into the goal.

But Gao Zheng shook his head, the goal was in, but the ball speed was too slow, and in the end, the football fell significantly, and it was almost close to the ground when it flew into the goal. It's an empty goal, so the football can go in, and if there's a goalkeeper, it's almost no threat.

Di Francisco's voice came to mind: "If you want to score a free-kick from a longer distance, you have to increase your leg strength, it's useless to just practice free-kicks." ”

Gao Zheng turned his head to look at the head coach, and then slapped him: "That's right!" Thank you, coach! ”

After saying that, he stopped practicing and ran to the gym.

Di Francisco shook his head behind him, genius still works so hard, how can others live......
