Chapter 69 Confidence because of strength
Alberto de Rossi is watching another semi-final video - this was taken by him specifically by the assistant referee to go to Varese.
His eyes were all focused on the tall man in Sampdoria's formation.
Gao Zheng.
He is not unfamiliar with this person.
Old De Rossi is an experienced youth training coach. He has worked in the Rome youth training camp for twenty years. It can be said that every young player who has come out of here has devoted his efforts. He is a respected person in the Rome club, and of course he has another widely known identity - he is the father of Rome vice captain Daniele de Rossi.
Old De Rossi, who has worked in youth training for 20 years, is certainly very clear about Gao Zheng. You should know that Roma U16 has also fought with AC Milan U16. Although Old De Rossi was not the head coach of Roma U16 at that time, I have also heard of Gao Zheng's outstanding performance in this age group.
Because of Gao Zheng's performance in U16, Old De Rossi also made plans to dig AC Milan's corner.
However, Gao Zheng was seriously injured, and this plan was naturally abandoned.
Later, Gao Zheng did not kick out at AC Milan Youth Training Camp, so Old De Rossi forgot about him.
Unexpectedly, I actually met him in the Sampdoria Reserve Team...
Old Derossi was curious about what was going on in between.
Judging from the video, Gao Zheng is a little different from before. His skills and awareness are still excellent, but his enthusiasm for running is a bit worse.
This is easy to understand - lack of physical fitness restricted his running.
After learning that Gao Zheng was on the bench in Sampdoria reserve team, Old De Rossi knew that Gao Zheng's physical fitness must be his weakness. Otherwise, with such an outstanding player, he would not start, but be a substitute. The head coach who did this must have a pitfall in his mind...
There is a physical problem, which is something that Rome can use.
He knew that Gao Zheng came on as a substitute in the game against AC Milan reserves, and completed a hat-trick after he came on as a substitute.
But in the view of Old De Rossi, the biggest problem with AC Milan is that he failed to score for 45 minutes in the first half. If AC Milan could score even two goals, then the situation would be different after Gao Zheng came on the court.
This is something that Rome needs to pay attention to.
When Gao Zheng was still sitting on the bench, Roma must score first and try to score more goals.
Thinking of this, Old De Rossi began to write and draw on the notebook in front of him and record his ideas.
But after writing a few words, he stopped and started playing videos of Sampdoria reserves vs. Varese reserves again.
He found that he had overlooked a problem before - he just watched Gao Zheng's performance, but ignored Sampdoria's defense line.
Judging from Sampdoria's overall performance this season, defense is not what they are good at. But there is a very strange phenomenon. The defense of Sampdoria's reserve team has been completely transformed in recent games.
They resisted AC Milan's thunderous bang for a full forty minutes.
In the semi-final that just ended, it can be seen that they are not in good shape, but even so, they only conceded one goal in the first half. The Varese reserve team strengthened their offensive after scoring the goal. Faced with their bombardment, Sampdoria reserve team did not concede the ball. They successfully defended the score of 0:1 to the halftime break, laying the foundation for Gao Zheng's appearance in the second half.
In other words, when Gao Zheng cannot start, Sampdoria's defense is very important. If Gao Zheng only appears when the team is two or three goals behind, then Sampdoria can still reach the final, and Gao Zheng may be squeezed out...
It seems that Bruno made a targeted training for Sampdoria's defense, and it was quite successful.
I don't know how he did it...
So the question now facing Old De Rossi is how to make the Roma reserve team take the lead and score more goals when they are against Sampdoria reserve team.
Old Derossi fell into deep thought.

When Gao Zheng opened the door of the "Sailor's House" Focacha store, he saw the fat boss Porata's smiling fat face, which was as cute as the bread just released.
"Gao, you're here!" He spread his arms to show a welcome look.
"Boss, why are you so happy today?" Gao Zheng was very surprised.
"Because we reached the final!" Porata said.
Gao Zheng was happy. He wanted to lead the team to win the championship. Isn’t it just to make Sampdoria fans like Fat Boss feel happy and can dilute their inner pain and disappointment about the team’s relegation?
Now I didn't expect that the champion had not won it yet, and I saw a smile on the fat boss's face.
"It's just the final, boss, it doesn't mean we can win the championship."
"That's enough, let's talk about it... Is the champion still a problem with you?" Porata said while wrapping up the Foca that Gao Zheng wanted. "I must go and see it when the time comes!"
Gao Zheng was startled: "The final is at Rome's home court, boss..."
When Borata heard Gao Zheng say this, he was stunned at first, then frowned and said, "Really?"
"Can I still lie to you, boss?"
Porata pondered for a while, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I still have to go and see!"
"That's Rome, boss... we play away, and the game is held at night..." Gao Zheng wanted to remind the boss that if he insisted on going to watch, it would be difficult to arrange the time. Could it be that he would have to stay in Rome for one night for a reserve team game, which would be a huge loss.
"I know, I will drive back after watching the game," said Porata.
"Driving back to Boriasco from Rome overnight?" Gao Zheng's eyes widened.
He didn't know how far it was from Rome to Boriasco, because he had never had such an experience. In fact, he couldn't even drive a car... and he couldn't imagine how it would be to drive a car so far at night alone.
"It's no big deal, I often did it when I was young." Porata shrugged, "and I have Franco."
The boss's son Franco, who was standing next to him, smiled at Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng also smiled back.
"We both took turns driving, which was not as terrible as you thought."
Gao Zheng had nothing to say: "Okay, boss. Let's wait and see us win the championship."
Porata waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't have too much pressure, it's high. Just play at your usual rhythm. You and the team have performed well enough. I went to watch the game just to express my support for you, not to add pressure to you."
Gao Zheng smiled and said, "No, no, boss. There was no increase in pressure. We originally wanted to win the championship."
When Gao Zheng left the store, his son Franco said to his father: "He looks so confident."
Porata asked her son: "What do you think of the Fokacha I made?"
Although Franco was a little strange, he still honestly replied: "Of course it's very good, dad..."
"No, it's not very good. The Focaccia I made in your father is the best in Boriasco!" When he said this, Porata raised his fat body, although it looked no different from before... "When you have the skills of mine, you can be so confident. So with high abilities, he is certainly qualified to be so confident."
"Dad, just say that you are outstanding in high strength. What are you doing with Fokacha?" Franco was puzzled.
"I hope you can improve your skills and take over my work as soon as possible! Otherwise, my dad wouldn't be exhausted?" Polata glared at his beard and glared at his stupid son.

PS, Messi and Ronaldo said goodbye to the World Cup in unification day, and I feel very sad.
I posted my views on this matter on the official account Linhaitingtao Pavilion linhaitingtao11, so I won’t say much about it here.
Today's competition continues, and X**C activities continue:
In the match between Spain and Russia, although Russia is the host, I am more optimistic about Spain's strength. The impact of changing coaches on them is not that great. Although the group stage is not very convincing, they can still adjust if they can enter the knockout stage.
I'm optimistic that Spain beat host Russia with two goals.
Chapter completed!
