When the training restarted, the defensive intensity against Gao Zheng did go up to a higher level, and the intensity of physical confrontation also went up.

Even if Gao Zheng pulls out of the penalty area, he must face the defenders and fight against his body.

Tosi frowned when he looked off the court, but Bruni stared at Gao Zheng on the field with blazing eyes, and there was a desire in his heart to see what Gao Zheng could do in the face of such a defense.

Everyone knows that his weakness is confrontation, and when it comes to the game, it is naturally impossible for his opponent to turn a blind eye to a weakness like his.

At that time, if you fall down when you touch it, and lose the ball when you hit it, then no matter how talented you are, no matter how good your performance is during training, what's the point?

In his heart, there is actually a bottom line about when Gao Zheng will be able to play, which does not come from the evaluation of the coaching staff, nor from the recognition of the team doctor. It's to see if Gao Zheng can withstand a physical confrontation of sufficient strength.

Gao Zheng is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms. This is the result of more than a month after he arrived in Sampdoria's reserves, and he was even thinner when he tried out. Of course, such a thin body strength will be insufficient, judging from this hard indicator, Gao Zheng may still be a long time away from appearing, after all, weight gain is not so simple and quick to do.

Bruni didn't plan to wait for Gao Zheng's weight to reach the standard before letting him play, Gao Zheng would not agree to this arrangement, and he himself would not agree.

In the world of football, strength is important, but strength is not everything.

Gao Zheng had already given Bruni too many different things during the trial, so he wanted to see what else Gao Zheng could show now.

I don't know why, he always has much more expectations for this kid than others.

In order to get rid of the defense, Gao Zheng, as a center forward, has run near the corner flag area.

But even so, there is always one defender next to him who is close to him, and not far from him, there are two defenders who are eyeing him.

The manager lost his temper and said to try to concede three goals, and now they have conceded two goals and can't concede any more goals anyway.

His teammates originally wanted to pass the ball to others, but there was no better way to get the ball, and the closest point to him was Gao Zheng.

So he finally passed the football to Gao Zheng.

Almost at the same time that the football was rumored out, Gao Zheng felt that the defenders behind him were showing signs of strength, and he should be planning to go around the front defense and cut off the football in advance.

Gao Zheng hurriedly straddled his legs and blocked the opponent behind him with his body, and then he raised his right foot to catch the ball.

The football was stopped at his feet, but because there were defenders behind him, he also stopped the ball to death, and it was not easy to make another move.

The opponent put his hands on Gao Zheng's back and waist, leaned forward and pushed Gao Zheng towards the corner flag.

At the same time, another defender rushed up from the side, intending to cut off the ball at Gao Zheng's feet.

Passing the ball to Gao Zheng's teammates yelled at him: "Pass it back!" ”

It was too late, and the second defender who rushed up cut off the connection between Gao Zheng and him, and then completely surrounded Gao Zheng in the corner flag area.

Gao Zheng pulled the football to the right with his left foot, temporarily avoiding the rush of the second defender.

But it also brought him closer to the bottom line.

The first defender continued to exert force on his hands, and Gao Zheng, whose body had been pushed forward, finally failed to maintain his balance and fell to the ground with his forward pounce.

The teammate who passed the ball to him immediately raised his arm and signaled for the opponent to foul.

But Casilio, the assistant coach who was the guest referee, was next to him and said nothing that it was just a reasonable collision.

Seeing Gao Zheng fall to the ground, he pushed down his defender and prepared to break the ball with his feet.

But when he looked down to find the ball, he saw that Gao Zheng, who was supposed to be prostrate on the ground, had become lying on his side at some point, and his right foot was hooking the football that had almost rolled out of the bottom line! That's a leg advantage – everyone else has fallen behind the corner flagstick, but the long leg can still get to football!

The defender kicked himself into the air!

Gao Zheng, who hooked the football back, twisted his body and sat on the ground with his hands propped up, the football still at his feet.

The second defender rushed up.

Gao Zheng sat on the ground with his buttocks, relying on the strength of his right ankle, but he slammed the football!

The ball flew over the head of the second defender...... It fell to the feet of the player who passed the ball for Gao Zheng.

"Huh?" The receiver was stunned, he didn't expect the ball to return to his feet like this.

The defender who broke Gao Zheng's ball was also stunned, but he didn't expect that Gao Zheng could still pass the football to the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted.

Assistant coach part-time Casirio was equally stunned.

But Gao Zheng, who was sitting on the ground, slapped his hands, got up from the ground, and ran towards the penalty area with the bottom line when everyone didn't notice him.

His tall red figure finally attracted the attention of his teammates, and he knew that he should pass the football over to Gao Zheng, who had already run into the air.

So he picked the pass.

But in a hurry, he spread big!

The football flew straight out of the bottom line!

"Oops!" This was shouted by both Tossi and Bruni at the same time.

After shouting, Tossi looked at Bruni with some surprise, but he knew that this person was usually unsmiling, and he was rarely so excited.

Bruni didn't seem to see Tosi's surprised gaze at all, just stared at the court and gritted his teeth and said, "That kid Muratore, it's unreliable at the critical moment!" ”

Nikola Muratore is the red team player who passed the ball to Gao Zheng, the central midfielder of the reserve team.

Muratore also knew that his mistake had wasted Gao Zheng's opportunity, and he hurriedly apologized to Gao Zheng. However, Gao Zheng was not as sorry as everyone showed, he waved his hand: "It's okay, Nikolai, it's not a big deal." ”

It was as if that unbelievable down-to-earth pass was commonplace and not worth mentioning.

But others are not as "open-minded" as he is.

Alberto Massi, despite being a defensive team and wearing a blue jersey, couldn't help but complain to Muratore: "You wasted a great attacking opportunity! ”

Instead, Gao Zheng asked Marcy: "Hey, where are you?" ”

Marcy snorted: "I'm on the football side!" ”

Gao Zheng smiled and pushed him: "Don't talk about it." ”

"It's a shame that the ball...... "Marcy still regrets it." Such a beautiful pass! ”

Gao Zheng waved his hand: "Then do it again." ”

"Can you come again?" Marcy's eyes widened.

"You think I'm blindfolded?"

"Uh......" Marcy didn't know what to say to him.

Next, Gao Zheng was not forced to the corner flag area to perform a wonderful performance of falling to the ground again, but he took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and when he chose to break through, he was hit sideways by a defender, and his whole body was knocked almost into the air - both feet off the ground and flew to the left - but he still did not lose the ball at his feet.

When he was knocked away, his long legs also hooked the football away, just like he was pushed to the ground just now and still had the ability to hook the football back, his long legs were beyond imagination.

Before he could regain his balance, he got up and took a shot, pumped the ball with his left foot to the right of the goal, and hit Tozzo who was going to the near corner to block the angle.

Tozzo did his best to block but let the ball fly into the net from the far end.

The attacking group has scored three goals, two by Gao Zheng and one by Icardi.
