Chapter 13: What Do You Say?
A teammate sent a high ball, Gao Zheng turned his back to the attack, blocked the defender behind him, and then straightened his chest to gently unload the incoming ball, and the football hit his chest and fell down.
Gao Zheng's right foot immediately followed, and the falling football slammed backwards! He didn't move very much, and he mainly relied on the strength of his ankles to complete the hook.
The ball flew over his shoulder.
At the same time, he turned around against the defender who was defending him, about to wipe the defender.
Next, as long as he only needs to stretch his foot, he can get the fallen ball back on.
But he couldn't complete the turn, and just halfway through, the defender leaned over with all his weight and jerked his shoulders so hard that he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Possession was naturally lost.
The defender who knocked him down clasped his arms and signaled to the referee that he was making a reasonable charge.
The referee did not blow for a foul.
The defender immediately turned around, leaned down and yelled at Gao Zheng: "Put away your three-legged cat kung fu in front of me, don't play with flowers!" Otherwise I'll be a provocation for you, boy! ”
Whether he understood it or not, just by his grinning expression and the spittle that gushed out, he knew that it was definitely not a good word......

Paro Mandeli, Sassuolo's reserve coach and head of youth on the sidelines, shook his head: "This physical confrontation is completely impossible......
Luciano Callino, the assistant coach of the first team next to him, said: "I noticed that on his resume, after leaving AC Milan, there was a gap of one year and nothing. ”
"I used to be the best player in the Under-16s, and now I'm 19 years old." Mandeli sighed with emotion. As the coach in charge of youth training, he certainly knows the Chinese talent who once made a big splash in the AC Milan academy, which is why Sassuolo is willing to give Gao Zheng a chance to try out.
But to be honest, Gao Zheng's performance after the start of the game made Mandelley a little disappointed.
Although it is not known why AC Milan gave up on him, it now seems that there must be an unknown reason behind every bizarre decision, and AC Milan are not happy to let their talented young star go if possible.

Guo Wei was dedicated to two things on the sidelines - watching Gao Zheng's performance on the court while watching the reactions of the coaches on the sidelines.
He's a long-time fan, but this "old fan" refers to an older fan, not a fan who has been watching the game for many years. He watched football when he was young, but then he slowly didn't watch it much, especially after starting a business, he was busy with work and couldn't take care of rest at all, so football, a hobby when he was young, was naturally put aside.
Because he hasn't watched the football for a long time, he doesn't know a lot about football now, but based on the common sense of a fan, he can still see that Gao Zheng's performance on the field is not very good.
And seeing the coach shaking his head also confirmed his worries.
When he got up this morning and saw Gao Zheng with dark circles under his eyes, yawning constantly, and even eating breakfast with his eyes closed, he began to worry about this young man - how can he participate in the trial competition in this state?
Seeing that his worries were realized little by little, Guo Wei was anxious.
He still remembered what Yang Wenlong said when he decided to help Gao Zheng pay all the expenses this time: "That kid, his talent is really high, he won't know anything but playing, if he doesn't continue to play, he will be useless." Now there is such an opportunity, and it only takes tens of thousands of dollars to buy a chance to fight for the future. If he loses this opportunity because he has no money, I'm afraid I'll regret it. ”
Lao Yang, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you......
Guo Wei sighed in his heart.

"Put away your three-legged cat kung fu in front of me, don't play with flowers! Otherwise I'll be a provocation for you, boy! ”
Gao Zheng, who was knocked to the ground, heard what the black, hard defender said to him.
He remembered the last game he played at home, against a claimed runner-up in the municipal amateur competition, and defending him by a former professional who had played in the Chinese league for a season.
That Brother Qing is simply soft compared to the black and hard in front of him...... No wonder I was bored at first.
This gap ......
He laughed.
I gave up my life in China and chose to come to Italy, isn't it just for such confrontations and competitions? How can he succeed if he can't even cope with a reserve-level confrontation?
At this moment, someone stretched out his hand towards Gao Zheng, not to knock down his opponent, but to be a teammate on the same team with him, who was also a striker. But it was not the one who came to the trial with Gao Zheng, but the player who was already in the Sassuolo reserve team.
His face still looks a little immature, and he doesn't seem to be a person of Gao Zheng's age.
"Are you alright? Don't worry, Marios is ...... temper."
"Hey, Berardi, what the hell are you from?!" Marios Konate, the black and hard defender, was dissatisfied when he heard what the babyface said.
Berardi grimaced at him, "We're rivals now." He also tugged at the blue training vest he was wearing.
Then he went to pull Gao Zheng, but when he pulled Gao Zheng up, he found that the other party actually had a smile on his face!
This surprised him, he thought that Gao Zheng would be very angry after listening to Marios Konat's words.
"Thank you." Gao Zheng thanked the temporary teammate in Italian.
Berardi was taken aback: "Do you speak Italian?" ”
"Didn't you just speak to me in Italian?" Gao Zheng asked strangely.
"Uh......" Berardi reacted, but it was obviously better for the other party to be able to communicate in Italian. I see you're laughing? ”
"Of course, can't you laugh?"
"Not really...... I just thought you'd be angry......"
"What's there to be angry about?" Gao Zheng waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good temper...... "Berardi admired the man who came to the trial, he may not know Konat, but as a teammate, he knows it very well. Marios Konate always likes to talk trash and constantly find people to provoke on the pitch, and not everyone likes him.
Gao Zheng heard the other party's praise, smiled, and said something more.

Not long after the game continued, Gao Zheng looked left and right, and found the black and hard among the opposing players, and then he slowly came up and came to the black and hard defense area.
Then he raised his hand to ask for the ball.
The ball was quickly passed and it was still a high ball.
But this time, Gao Zheng was not facing away from the offensive direction, he was pulling along the flight trajectory of the football, as if he wanted to get rid of the defender, of course Konate would not let him do what he wanted, and quickly followed.
He thought that he only needed to stick it on, and with a little interference, it would be difficult for this kid to control the ball.
Gao Zheng didn't want to stop the football at all, only to see him raise his right foot in the high-speed running and gently pick up the flying football!
The football flew over Konat's head!
And the black and hard Konate faced Gao Zheng's hidden and close pick, and there was no reaction, and inertia allowed him to continue to rush over. Gao Zheng, who was prepared, slowed down when he picked up the ball, then changed his direction to dodge, dodged the opponent, and caught the football picked by him on the inside!
※※※
"Oh! This ball! Paro Mandeli's eyes widened on the sidelines, he never thought that Gao Zheng would get rid of the defense in such a weighty way.
"It's beautiful!" First-team assistant coach Carlino couldn't help but slap him in the face.
Being able to make such an easy movement to pick the ball in a high-speed run requires a high level of ball control and ball sense. They are all professional football coaches, so they naturally understand how difficult this ball is, and it is definitely not as easy as Gao Zheng showed.
The two looked at each other, making sure they both vaguely saw the shadow of the AC Milan genius.
※※※
Because of the result of the previous confrontation between Gao Zheng and Konat, this time seeing Konate following Gao Zheng, the other Sassuolo reserve team players did not expect Konate to be passed by Gao Zheng.
So when Konate was pulled out by Gao Zheng, his original position became an empty space.
And Gao Zheng, who easily passed Konat, dribbled the ball and ran to this vacancy.
Konate felt a surge of blood rush over his head, and he chased back and ran towards the figure.
But before he could catch up, Gao Zheng had already finished shooting with his feet!
The ball flew off and bounced off the ground in the near corner, the goalkeeper couldn't save it in time, and the ball got under his armpit and into the goal!
When Konate caught up with Gao Zheng, this was what he saw.
At the same time, a voice sounded next to him: "Excuse me, what did you just say?" ”
