Chapter 166: Bomb Disposal

"Two free kicks in a row! What a god! High! He helped Sampdoria take a two-goal lead in the opening 26 minutes! ”

On the podium, Ricardo Garone got up from his seat again, wildly waving his fists, and his gray hair was scattered in the air.

Not only did he not care about the feelings of Skunzi next to him, he even deliberately did it for the other party to see.

My ace player, can you scold casually?

Garrone was not afraid of anyone now, he didn't care what would happen if he offended Skunzi.

Before, he was a big mouth who liked to shoot, and now he has a terminal illness, he is even more so, he is not even afraid of death, and he is afraid of offending people?

After celebrating, he sat down and smiled at Skunzi next to him and said, "This ...... I didn't expect to send two free kicks in a row, which is so polite! ”

Skunzi is so angry now!

Is this what we want to send?!

How could he not hear what Garrone meant, this was clearly to bring his players back on the rostrum......

But what made Skunzi very embarrassed was that his team's poor performance off the field made him have no confidence to fight back against Garrone.

If Sassuolo had equalised quickly after falling behind, he could have shot back with a smile: "It looks like you'll have to wait a little longer when you're back in the First Division......

But now, he has endured the humiliation of the other party again and again.

Why didn't we fight back after we fell behind, but continued to play Sampdoria unhurriedly?

Skunzi couldn't understand the team's tactical arrangement, and in his opinion, it must be the problem of the head coach Pia.

After the goal, Gao Zheng didn't run wildly to celebrate, he just stood in place, opening his arms and waiting for his teammates to pounce.

Pelle was the first to rush up and hug him, and whispered in his ear: "I said I must help you score no matter what, but now it seems that there is no need!" Hahaha! Two free kicks resulted in two goals, amazing! ”

Everyone knows that Pelle is the number one "high" in the team, no matter what Gao Zheng does, he can find a direction that can be touted from a tricky angle. But this time, the teammates all agreed with Pelle's statement, judging from Gao Zheng's performance, he was really right in the locker room before the game, that is, this game does not need the whole team to help Gao Zheng alone to complete the goal, just a Sassuolo, there is no need to face a big enemy.

Everyone patted Gao Zheng's shoulders, backs and heads.

Although the game has only started for more than 20 minutes, although there is still a second leg of the game, everyone now has an uncontrollable thought in their hearts - it is stable, and it is stable to return to the first division!

※※※

Mazzolati kept his head down, but he could feel the gaze of his teammates, a blaming gaze.

You said that the wall doesn't jump, okay, we don't jump when we listen to you, and the football flies over your head!

If we all know it's impossible, we'll really suspect that you're an undercover agent for Sampdoria!

These teammates must have thought so in their hearts......

Mazzolati felt that he was full of grievances, but there was nowhere to say it.

Gao Zheng did score a close cut, he felt that his worries were also justified, and it was really difficult to bypass the human wall with such a close free kick...... But who would have thought that the ball would just go around the wall and fly into the goal......

He felt like he had nowhere to go!

As soon as he thought of this, he looked at Gao Zheng's gaze even more unfriendly.

When he looked at Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng didn't see him, but Pelle next to Gao Zheng glared at him fiercely.

※※※

Off the pitch, in front of Sassuolo's coaching box, head coach Pia and his assistant Tarozzi were silent after the goal was conceded.

They do not know what to say.

When conceding the first goal, Pia specifically told the team to stay calm and composed, not to rush out, and they all believed that this would help the team stabilize the situation and regain the initiative.

Who would have thought that the result of this would be to make the opponent score another goal!

Strictly speaking, their tactics are fine, and this conceded goal was not taken advantage of by the opponent because of a tactical mistake.

But so what?

If you lose a goal, you lose a goal, no matter how you lose it.

The feeling of being one goal down and two goals behind is completely different.

He can also tell his players to stay calm and steady when they are down by a goal.

After falling behind by two goals, I'm afraid it won't be good for him to say that.

No matter how much he emphasizes the role of composure, the players probably won't believe it in their hearts - we listened to you to stay calm and calm, but we conceded the goal, and now we have to continue to play at the same pace unhurriedly?

It's already two goals behind, and if you don't fight back, I'm afraid it's going to be completely cold!

When he finished the celebration and ran back to his own half, Pelle leaned over to Gao Zheng and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, Gao." I found that the twenty-four looked at you in the wrong way......"

Gao Zheng glanced back in the direction where Mazzolati was, but the other party didn't look at him anymore.

"What's the matter, Graziano?"

'You've already created two free-kicks on him and I think he's probably a little annoyed.'

"He's going to give me a chance to score?" Gao Zheng was a little surprised.

Pelle was also stunned for a moment, feeling that what Gao Zheng said made sense, Sampdoria's two goals so far were all free kick opportunities sent by No. 24.

But why does it always sound awkward......

※※※

Tarotzi suddenly asked Pia: "Do you want to change and adjust?" I don't think Mazzolati's mood is right today......"

Pia fell silent.

It's not news that Mazzolati is not in the right mood, in fact, they all knew it before the game. After all, Mazzolati had a war of words with Gao Zheng in the media - albeit one-sidedly......

Pia knew that Mazzollatti was unhappy with Gao Zheng, because the last time the two sides met, Gao Zheng was obviously targeting him, especially the second goal, which was caused by Mazzolati's mistake.

However, Pia insisted on putting Mazzolati in the starting line-up for this game.

Because he wanted to use Mazzolati's emotions towards Gao Zheng to deal with Gao Zheng - the scrappy Mazzolati never left Gao Zheng in the game, did not give Gao Zheng any chance to get the ball, and completely froze him.

This is the vision that Pia sketches in his mind.

But the gap between the ideal and the reality seems to be a bit wide......

He didn't expect that Mazzolati couldn't control his anger at all, and completely fell into Gao Zheng's rhythm.

The two goals conceded can be said to be directly related to Mazzolati.

It can even be said that Mazzolati, who has a yellow card, has become the biggest hidden danger in the Sassuolo backline.

Of course he should be replaced.

But Pia couldn't make up her mind so quickly.

Because if he wants to replace Mazzolati, it means that he has to give up the 352 tactic - because there is no central defender on the bench, it is impossible to continue to play 352 without Mazzolati.

※※※

Just when Pia was hesitating, the game had already restarted.

Gao Zheng found that as long as he took the ball and passed the ball a little slowly, Mazzolati would immediately lean up and entangle himself.

After being knocked to the ground by Mazzolati, Gao Zheng did not get up immediately, but sat on the ground and spread his hands to the referee, very helpless. That means - referee, you see, he's already eyeing me.

Referee Tomasi had just whistled Mazzolati for a foul, but it was only a foul and there was no other follow-up.

Pelle ran up to the referee and made a card gesture to remind the referee Tomasi to play the card.

But in fact, when a player already has a yellow card on him, the referee will be relatively cautious. Generally, it is difficult to give cards to a foul that pushes and pulls.

But this does not mean that the referee will endure it all the time, if the foul player does not have any intention of restraint and continues to provoke, sooner or later he will be punished.

Both Pelle and Gao Zheng's actions are putting pressure on the referee, hoping to speed up the process.

Pia, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene and took a breath.

Fortunately, Mazzolati's foul was committed far from the goal, and it was out of the box to be a direct threat to Sassuolo's goal...... But that doesn't mean that Sassuolo can have such good luck with every foul that follows.

Mazzolati had already given Sampdoria two free-kicks for a foul, but he didn't seem to have learned any lessons from them. Pia knew Mazzolati had lost his mind and that letting such a man at the back was a ticking time bomb.

It must be dismantled before the bomb explodes.

Thinking of this, Pia said to assistant coach Tarozzi: "Substitutions, replace Mazzolati and play 442!" ”
