Chapter 378: Understatement
When Sampdoria attacked, the Inter fans in the stands were thinking about whether Inter Milan's next attack would break Sampdoria's goal.
If you can take a two-goal lead in the first half, the game will be completely secured.
Sampdoria's full-back Costa picked up the ball on the left flank, and in front of him was Inter midfielder Jonathan, while Inter defenders were defending Sampdoria's strikers in the box.
Gao Zheng, as a center forward, is also at the forefront at this time - he does not always withdraw from the penalty area and roam outside, and sometimes he needs to press the opponent's defense in front of the goal to provide space for his teammates to insert behind.
However, Costa did not pass the football to midfielders such as Obiang and Kosticic, but dunked the ball back when he was close to the baseline, and then took a few steps back, by which time his teammates who were inserted in the back were too close to the Inter defense and lost the opportunity to get the ball.
Seeing this, Gao Zheng planned to withdraw from the penalty area, pull the Inter Milan defenders who were originally following him in the penalty area out of the penalty area, and create a gap for his teammates.
But at that moment, Costa suddenly came with a cross!
It's not a very good choice, and this kind of cross is more about luck in it. Apparently Costa didn't know what to do......
The ball was crossed to the forward post, and Berardi rushed to meet it, and although he stretched his foot as long as he could, he couldn't touch the ball.
It's just that he also shook the Inter defenders this time, and when Rolando saw the football flying towards him, he didn't have time to react more, and he could only reflexively clamp his legs.
But the soccer ball flew between his legs before he could close his legs!
flew to Gao Zheng, who was about to retreat behind him!
Although Gao Zheng has Inter Milan's central defender Hugo Campagunaro next to him, Gao Zheng's reactions and actions greatly exceeded Campagnaro's expectations - that is, when the football passed under Rolando's crotch, Gao Zheng's right leg was raised, as if it was a conditioned reflex - the conditioned reflex of raising his leg when he saw the ball flying and whether it could reach his side or not.
So when the football really flew towards him, Gao Zheng's next action was naturally like an inadvertent leg extension, and before everyone could react, the straight instep lightly hit the ball.
Campagnaro, who was standing in front of Gao Zheng, was even closer to the football than Gao Zheng, but he didn't move at all, like a scarecrow.
Handanovic couldn't do anything about the close kick, he didn't even make a wave of his hand, and the ball flew into the goal behind him!
The commentators were also very surprised, and it was cold for about half a second before they roared:
"Huh?! Huh! The ball is in!! The ball is in! Liu Hong shouted excitedly, "The ball is inββ! Gao Zheng helped Sampdoria equalize so lightly! β
"This goal came so suddenly and unexpectedly! There were so many people in front of Inter Milan when he shot high, and he was the only one who made a move! It's a really mysterious scene, it's as if he's casting a spell on the Inter defenders and then he's calmly getting up and shooting! Careza said it more graphically, which makes people have to admire the skills of this famous Italian football commentator.
Handanovic didn't even express his frustration and anger at the moment after conceding the goal, but froze there and glanced at the linesman first - he always thought it shouldn't be a goal, but the linesman's actions told him that it was a valid goal.
Referee Carmine Russo pointed his finger to the centre circle as she blew the whistle β that's what it means to score a goal!
It was only then that the Meazza Stadium seemed to have been re-pressed the play button, and the boos and exclamations all returned.
Truth be told, no one thought it would be a dangerous attack when Costa crossed blindly, let alone predicted a goal.
In the eyes of many, Costa's cross was just helping Inter regain possession as quickly as possible.
Inter Milan will easily defend against this attack and then take advantage of the situation to play a wave of counter-attacks.
So when the football flew towards their goal, the Inter Milan fans did not fluctuate in their hearts, and even wanted to laugh.
But just as the smile appeared on their faces, Gao Zheng bounced the football into the goal......
The smile and the anticipation of a counterattack came to an abrupt halt at this moment.
Tohir, who was seen on the TV camera, was also frowning and shaking his head, not very happy with the goal he had conceded. Moratti, who was next to him, turned his head to say something to him, and only then did Thohir's face smile slightly.
Probably saying "Don't worry, we're going to win", or reminding Thohir "Don't look down, the crown will fall, the camera will be on you......

After the goal, Gao Zheng did not run to the corner flag area to celebrate very excitedly, nor did he run to Icardi to celebrate and slap his face, but waved to his teammates with a smile and high-fived every teammate who came up.
Compared with Icardi, who ran to show off in front of him excitedly when he scored a goal, Gao Zheng was calm as if this goal was not a big deal.
Of course, it wasn't a spectacular goal for him, and he did seem to have reason not to be ecstatic about it, because there were so many wonderful and beautiful goals.
It includes the ultimate embodiment of various personal abilities.
And this goal is more like a simple goalmouth grab......
But his teammates were more excited than him.
They also know about the competition between Icardi and Gao Zheng, even if they and Icardi were teammates before, but now they support Gao Zheng unconditionally.
The celebration after Icardi's goal angered many Sampdoria players.
They felt that no matter what, Icardi and Gao Zheng were teammates before, and the relationship between the two was not bad, so there was no need to be like this after separation.
So now they are very happy to see Gao Zheng score.
After celebrating the goal with Gao Zheng, someone demonstratively waved his fist in the direction where Icardi was.
"Hahaha!" Liu Hong laughed happily, "Gao Zheng has now pulled one back, not only helping the team equalize, but also equalizing in his competition with Icardi. Of course, if you want to look at the scorer list of the entire league, then Gao Zheng regained the lead over Icardi! 10th goal in the league and 9th goal against the league. β
"Aha! Gao Zheng also scored, and now the two of them are 1:1! Caresa was also happy, but the reason he was happy was that Gao Zheng's response made the match even more exciting.
If after Icardi scored, Gao Zheng didn't react and couldn't show any reasonable performance, how boring would it be.
According to what he said before, he was still a little worried that Gao Zheng really wouldn't compete with Icardi.
But look at it this way, don't worry.

After Gao Zheng scored, Icardi did not have a gloomy face, and his face was full of unhappy expressions.
Instead, his eyes sparkled β he understood Gao's goal as a response to his rivalry.
He is not afraid of competition with Gao Zheng, he is afraid that Gao Zheng will not compete with him.
Now Gao Zheng has responded, very good, very good.
While the rest of the Inter players were frustrated by the goal conceded, Icardi's fighting spirit was burning brightly, and he was full of anticipation for the next game.
He couldn't wait to get the game back up, and he even hoped that there would be no halftime break, and he would just play straight ahead until he and Gao Zheng decided the winner!
