Before the Sampdoria and Inter Milan matches, the media was hyping up the Golden Boot race, and the most promising threat to Gao Zheng at the moment was naturally Icardi.

Icardi is the man who has publicly stated that he wants to beat Gao Zheng before, and his performances in the league scorers list this season seem to have proved that he is capable of doing so.

Now it's time to stir-fry again.

The media is hyping up the topic, and Icardi's teammates have also come forward to cheer him on.

"We'll give my full support to Icardi, he deserves the Golden Boot!" The words were said by Icardi's Argentine compatriot Cambiaso.

"Icardi is such a great goalscorer and he's so young, his future is ......limitless," said Icardi's partner in the attack, Palacio.

Palacio has scored 14 goals in the league this season, which is a decent number of goals, and is currently the second-highest scorer in the Inter Milan list, behind only Icardi.

It stands to reason that he and Icardi are more or less competitive, just like Icardi and Gao Zheng. However, this time he also chose to stand up and speak for his Argentine compatriots, which shows how much Inter Milan values this Golden Boot race in the team.

With the exception of Cambiasso and Palacio, almost all of the Argentine players in Inter's squad sided with Icardi.

They think that their little brother was bullied by Gao Zheng, and at this time, they naturally want to stand with their compatriots and express their support.

In this regard, Chinese fans ridiculed no wonder the legend that there is a "barbecue gang" in Inter Milan, it turns out to be true, this is really relying on his own There are many Argentines in Inter Milan, compared to Gao Zheng is a little lonely, after all, let alone Genoa, the entire Italian football world can not find a Chinese player who can help Gao Zheng speak.

But Gao Zheng didn't need others to speak for him.

After all, a real strong man will not find someone to help him in a fight.

Icardi was lively after the start of the Sampdoria and Inter Milan matches, and although he heard boos from the stands at the Marassi Stadium every time he got the ball, it didn't affect his performance, or even made him better. It's as if he's playing with the Sampdoria fans – the more you don't like me, the more I'm going to punch you in the face!

Icardi's active presence has seen him appear frequently in television close-ups, and his name is mentioned the most often by the narrator.

But he wasn't the one who scored first.

It's the one he least wants to see goals......

Gao Zheng!! Gao Zheng!! Liu Hong shouted out the name passionately, and he was now extremely excited and excited. Because just before he shouted like this, Gao Zheng had just scored the first goal of the half.

It was after a cross from Berardi in the box and then fired home with a tackle.

Although the defenders of Inter Milan at that time put most of their attention on Gao Zheng, they couldn't stand Gao Zheng's height and long legs, even if they didn't grab the best position, they also shoveled the football first with the advantage of long legs......

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Gao Zheng took the lead at home for Sampdoria! He took his league goal tally to 22! ”

Liu Hong was very happy when he said this, and he specifically emphasized Gao Zheng's current number of goals, because everyone knows that the current hot topic in Serie A is not who can win the championship, but who can win the league golden boot.

After 32 rounds of league play, Juventus is in first place with 84 points, Roma is second with 76 points, and the difference between the two sides is eight points.

How can this kind of thing be compared to the ownership of the Golden Boot?

Liu Hong knows what it means that the Italian media has been hyping who can get the Golden Boot, and doesn't he just want to see Gao Zheng fail to defend the Golden Boot?

In such a situation, as a Chinese commentator, he now has a sense of pride when he sees every goal of Gao Zheng.

After the goal, Gao Zheng didn't celebrate, he just simply raised his arms and high-fived his teammates who came up to celebrate.

Icardi was not unhappy with Gao Zheng's performance.

On the contrary, he was happy.

Because he sees the essence through the phenomenon.

Although Gao Zheng did not celebrate, he actually scored a goal, which shows that Gao Zheng is really competing with himself. Isn't that what I want to see the most?

In the past, he had always been troubled that Gao Zheng did not regard himself as an opponent at all, so he did not hesitate to transfer to Inter Milan with infamy.

With his hard work for most of the season, he finally succeeded in forcing Gao Zheng to fight him head-on, isn't it a good thing?

Thinking of this, Icardi was scrappy and ready to hit back Gao Zheng with a goal in the game.

But before he could put his fighting spirit into action, something happened on the field again.

Just four minutes after Sampdoria's goal, Gao Zheng dribbled into the Inter Milan penalty area, and he was ready to shoot with his feet, but was tackled to the ground by Inter Milan's central defender Ranocchia.

It was an undisputed foul, and Ranocchia did tackle Gao Zheng. However, the Inter Milan players still argued around the referee, hoping that the referee would change the decision.

Why is there such a toss for an uncontroversial foul?

Because it's a penalty, of course!

At the critical moment when Gao Zheng and Icardi competed for the Golden Boot, giving Sampdoria a penalty kick is not equivalent to giving Gao Zheng a goal?

Originally, Gao Zheng was two goals ahead of Icardi, and they kept saying that they wanted to support Icardi, but was this how Icardi's opponent was assisted?

Even Icardi frowned, his expression serious. Although he hopes that Gao Zheng will face the battle head-on, it does not mean that he wants to see the gap between himself and Gao Zheng being widened farther and farther away......

But no matter how the Inter players argued, the referee still insisted on the decision that he saw clearly.

But then something happened that surprised everyone.

Gao Zheng did not come to take the penalty he made, he got up and walked straight out of the penalty area, and waited until the Inter Milan players and the manager finished grinding and did not go in, and the person who took the penalty in the penalty area was captain Palombo.

"Gao gave up this penalty kick opportunity?!" Caressa was also surprised, and thought it was a little incredible.

At a time when the competition for the Golden Boot is getting hotter and hotter, any goal is very precious, why can Gao Zheng give up an opportunity that is almost a goal so easily?

"Speaking of which, Gao hasn't taken a penalty yet? Could it be that he didn't have the penalty himself, so he gave up the opportunity to Palombo? Bergomi guessed.

Careza shook his head: "I don't believe that Gao will not have the ability to take penalty kicks, penalty kicks are nothing more than a test of shooting skills and psychological quality, and these two aspects are not bad, there is no reason why the penalty kick is not good." ”

"Maybe Gao thinks he already has a two-goal lead and has a chance to win, so he doesn't need to use this penalty to extend his lead over Icardi?" Bergomi gave a new guess.

"Maybe so......" Caressa couldn't think of a proper explanation, so she could only say that.

No matter how puzzled others are, the person who took the penalty on the field was Palombo, not Gao Zheng.

The TV broadcast put a close-up shot on Gao Zheng instead of the player who took the penalty, which is really rare.

This also apparently expressed the confusion of the broadcasters of the game.

Gao Zheng in the close-up looked calm, without any regret, and he couldn't see any unwillingness to reluctantly give up the penalty.

His expression was calm, as if the penalty had nothing to do with him.

In the end, Palombo kicked the penalty into Handanovic's goal, and when Gao Zheng went up to celebrate with Palombo, he smiled happily as if he had scored a goal.

But in Icardi's opinion, he remembered the unwillingness to be despised by Gao Zheng......
