Gao Zheng seemed to have no idea that the Naples players looked at him unfriendly, nor did they care whether it was reasonable to delay time with Sampdoria's position.

He was still placing the football slowly. One football was repeatedly placed three times before finally making him stand up and retreat with satisfaction.

The referee did not urge Gao Zheng to seize the time. In his opinion, Sampdoria was chased by two consecutive goals, so she should be very anxious now. If they were not in a hurry, why would they be anxious?

While Gao Zheng was placing the football, his teammates also left one after another, leaving only Kostici to stay by his side to cover him to take the free kick.

Kostici did not question Gao Zheng's slow actions either.

As a Sampdoria player, he has become accustomed to trusting and relying on Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng's actions after being violated by Inle today are indeed very different from usual. Everyone can see that he is deliberately delaying time.

And everyone knows that Sampdoria actually has no capital to delay time. If this score ends, Naples can leave Genoa happily.

But even so, no one in Sampdoria's team expressed opinions or dissatisfaction with Gao Zheng's approach.

They believed that since Gao Zheng did this, there must be his reason.

On the surface, it seems to be delaying time, but maybe there are deeper considerations and reasons?

All they need to do is believe in Gao Zheng.

Finally, in full view of everyone, Gao Zheng set up the football and retreated to the run-up distance.

He looked at the referee.

The referee of this game, Mauro Bergonci, did not confirm the human wall in Naples, because the opponent had already lined up the human wall and was waiting for Gao Zheng.

He blew a whistle that could kick the ball.

This is not a very suitable free kick. First of all, the distance is a bit far, exceeding 35 meters, and secondly, the position is not in the center, which is too far away.

So this time Gao Zheng's running distance was longer than before.

After the referee's whistle rang, Gao Zheng began to run.

Perhaps it was because Gao Zheng’s previous practice left a fixed impression, so that everyone felt that Gao Zheng’s run-up speed was slower than usual…

But this is not their illusion, because Gao Zheng was running slowly this time, he was running on his toes, and he was like a spring installed under his feet, making the running speed slower than every step before.

This made Gao Zheng's right leg feel like he was constantly accumulating energy until he finally ran to the football, his left foot firmly stepped on the grass, while his right foot seemed to be a spring compressed to the extreme, and he thrust towards the football.

There was a dull bang.

The football flew towards the goal of Naples in the distance like a cruise missile!

Although the distance is farther than usual, the football flew to the goal in the blink of an eye, and the human wall did not play any role in blocking it.

Naples goalkeeper Renner rose up and rushed towards the flying football.

But in front of the football that was rushing forward, his movements were more like slow motion.

Before the hand was reached, the football flew into the goal!

"gaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! What a wonderful goal! In the 69th minute of the game, Gao used a direct free kick to score, helping Sampdoria take the lead again!"

Since the start of the second half, the Malasi Stadium has become much calmer, but now it is boiling again.

Every Sampdoria fan who was worried and frightened before, raised his arms from his seat when he saw the football fly into the goal!

“gaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

They shouted in unison together.

Amid their roars, the sea woke up from its deep sleep.

Gao Zheng, who scored the goal, did not run wildly to celebrate. He stood there, raised his hands, and pressed down.

"Gao's celebration is like telling everyone not to panic, he is there! He does have such ability. Every time the sailors' ships encounter the danger of capsizing on the sea, the person who stands out and stabilizes the ship must be Gao! No matter how surging the sea is, it seems to be able to become docile in one second! I think he is not the captain, he is like a 'Sea King'!" Karesa made a series of witty words, "He can not only make the originally calm sea suddenly stir up strong winds and waves, devour those invaders, but also calm the violent sea and allow the ships he shelter to pass through this sea safely!"

"Just before this free kick, I once said that when Gao used the method of dragging time to interrupt Naples's momentum, the final result of this free kick was not important at all. I was wrong, that was just my mortal's idea... Only mortals can do multiple-choice questions, and Aquaman wants them all!"

Bergomi laughed aside, and Caresa said it was so interesting.

Although Gao Zheng stood there without moving, the Sampdoria players shouted excitedly as if they were drunk and rushed towards Gao Zheng.

Even Sampdoria's substitutes and coaches on the bench are the same.

Di Francesco punched the air hard, venting all the suppressed emotions in his heart just now.

Benitez, next door, looked a little bad.

The situation on the court was obviously his team's advantage, and he was planning to take this opportunity to win another goal and completely reverse the outcome. Unexpectedly, when the team's offensive was at its peak, Sampdoria used a free kick to break the goal!

He was so unhappy because before that Sampdoria had no power to fight back, and they could only resist with all their might in the face of Naples' crazy offensive.

The result was without warning. While Naples was still in a good mood for the future, Sampdoria suddenly scored a goal.

This kind of bolt from the blue is that it is too much of a blow to the team's morale and confidence.

Look at the Napoli players on the field. When Sampdoria players were celebrating their goals, they looked confused and had not fully accepted the reality of losing the ball.

Even if you lose the game 2:3, it is not an unacceptable result.

But he could have won the opponent, but now he is behind. The impact of this psychological gap is still very big.

Perhaps after the game is over, they can accept the score calmly or even happily, but at least now, they can't.

Benitez doesn't work, let alone the players.

The duck that was about to be cooked actually flew...

No matter how you look at that free kick doesn’t seem like a must-scoring goal!

※※※

When the Sampdoria players finished their celebrations and returned to their half, the game started again.

The Napoli players have not recovered from the hit of the goal being lost. The previous offensive was gone, and it is difficult to re-release this momentum again.

The violent sea returned to peace, dark clouds were blown away, and the bright moonlight appeared again on the sea, reflecting the sea's ripples, just like the stars in the sky falling into the sea.

The waves gently supported, gently like the cradle in my mother's hand, and the sound of water was like a soft humming, comforting the exhausted sailors.

The storm has passed and they are still alive.
