Although Icardi worked very hard in training, Sampdoria did not make it to the roster when he challenged Modena's 38th round of the league away.

In this game, Sampdoria defeated Modena 2-0 away and continued to rank fifth. Since Padova, who was originally ranked sixth, lost the ball and Varese, who was ranked seventh, won the ball, the rankings of the two teams behind Sampdoria changed.

Padua ranked seventh in sixty, six points behind Sampdoria, who was fifth.

This is good news for Sampdoria.

In the 39th round of the league, Sampdoria faced Regina at home, and Icardi still did not make it to the roster.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Regina 3-1 at home, while Padova lost 1-3 away to the top Torino team.

The gap between them and Sampdoria was further widened by nine points.

This is exciting news.

This means that as long as Sampdoria wins one of the next three regular season rounds, they will definitely be eligible for the upgraded playoffs.

This key node is in the next round of the league, and Sampdoria will challenge Juvestabia away.

This should be the best opponent they can meet in the remaining three league rounds.

After all, Yuvestabia, ranked ninth, now has 54 points, far away from the top six, and has no worries about relegation at all. In the second division, they are representatives who have no desires and no desires.

On the contrary, the opponents in the last two rounds of the league will be more difficult to deal with. Sampdoria's opponent in the second round is Pescara, who ranks second. However, Pescara is only one point ahead of Sassuolo, and they will definitely do their best. Even at home, it is not easy for Sampdoria to defeat Pescara, who has a stronger advantage.

In the last round of the league, Sampdoria challenged Varese away and is currently ranked sixth, and she also strives to use victory to ensure that she is qualified to participate in the playoffs.

Rather than fighting with these two opponents, why not completely lock in the upgraded place in the first game against Juvestabia?

Perhaps for this reason, when Yacini announced the list of Yuvestabia a day in advance, Gao Zheng's name actually appeared inside.

"Gao, you are in this game." After reading Gao Zheng's name, Yaqini also added a special sentence. "Your physical fitness is fine. I think you must be ready to play, right?"

"Uh, of course." Gao Zheng was a little surprised, but he did not refuse the head coach's arrangement.

In this game, Gao Zheng and Pelle will partner, while Icardi will be selected for the first-team roster this season.

In the position of substitute forward, Yacini chose him and Bertani.

※※※

Although Yacini always announces the list one day in advance, it is internal. He is still no different from other coaches.

It was not until two hours before the game that everyone knew the list.

"Gao Zheng!" When Lu Bing received the news, he was still a little surprised.

They have always been used to Gao Zheng always appearing on the bench, and they are also used to the nickname "super substitute" given to Gao Zheng by Genoa fans. So when they saw Gao Zheng appearing on the roster, they knew that he would definitely appear on the bench.

But today Yaqini gave them a surprise, and Gao Zheng actually appeared!

"It's time to play!" Wang Yixing looked quite dissatisfied with head coach Yacini. "It's all excuses to say that high physical fitness is not ready yet. It's just that this is used to solve the problem of too many forward players in the team and not being able to rotate... If Bozi hadn't been injured, Gao Zheng might not have been able to do so!"

Lu Bing laughed.

Lao Wang is no longer worried about Gao Zheng, but his conspiracy theory has not changed at all...

In fact, Gao Zheng and Yaqini have talked about why Gao Zheng always appears on the bench.

Due to the disagreement with Atzori, Gao Zheng's pre-season training camp was greatly affected, resulting in his physical accumulation not being good enough. The pre-season training camp before the start of each season is the most critical stage for players. You must accumulate enough physical fitness in the training camp to cope with the following season.

But Gao Zheng missed this golden period, which caused his physical fitness to not recover very well. In addition, during Atzori's reign, Gao Zheng never played a game, which affected his physical fitness reserves.

So after Yacini took office, he always asked Gao Zheng to play as a substitute. On the one hand, he was able to adapt to the game, and on the other hand, he also used this period to re-enhance his physical fitness.

However, the physical reserve effect of going back to the middle of the season is definitely not as good as the beginning of the season, so Gao Zheng's physical fitness has improved very slowly.

This explanation was recognized by Gao Zheng, and there was no conspiracy theory in it. Moreover, Sampdoria now has four strikers who can use in the first team, namely Gao Zheng, Pozi, Pelle and Bertani. Among them, Pozi and Bertani have been injured, so they don’t need to have a headache at all.

But thinking about it, Lao Wang was a former investigative journalist who specialized in exposing the dark side of Chinese football. It is normal to have such professional habits...

"Gao Zheng!" Clarian Moretti heard a message spreading excitedly by his companions.

But he felt very sorry: "It was this game... If it were the home game, when the registration list was broadcast, the most deafening cheers would be heard..."

"Maybe Yacini thinks this game is more important. After all, as long as we win this game, we can be safely prepared to upgrade to the play-offs." The partners guessed.

"I really didn't expect that we played like shit in the first half of the season, and we were able to participate in the upgraded playoffs in the end... I thought we were done this season again!"

"Thank you really, Gao!"

"We just got the list of both sides of this game. Sampdoria has always been a substitute before. It seems that the physical fitness problem that has been bothering him has been solved... Of course, it is also possible that Yacini chose to take risks in this key game to ensure that the team won the game... But no matter what, this is the first time in a professional game and a memorable moment. What surprises can his first time bring to them?"

Cilio talked endlessly about the anecdotes of Gao Zheng's appearance to the audience in front of the TV.

"When Sampdoria reserve team, he also had a record of playing. It was the reserve team final, and their opponent was the strong Roma reserve team. As a result, Sampdoria reserve team ended the suspense in the first half, leading Roma reserve team four goals, Gao completed two goals and an assist in the first half. The second half just started to stage another hat trick. In the end, Sampdoria reserve team surprised the Roma reserve team and won the national championship of the season..."
