Chapter 73: Quiet like a virgin, moving like a rabbit
Roma reserve goalkeeper Pigliacelli, who received the encouragement of the captain, quickly made a wonderful save.
At that time, Sampdoria reserve striker Icardi turned around and shot after receiving a pass from his teammate in the penalty area.
This is actually a very hidden shot, which is very difficult, and Icardi's shot is also very exciting.
But Pygliacelli's save was even more exciting. He fell to the ground and rushed to the side, holding the ball firmly in his hand. He didn't even give Sampdoria a corner kick, and there was no chance to make a follow-up shot.
Florenzi slapped hard outside the penalty area and cheered Pigliacelli loudly.
He also gave Pigliacelli a thumbs up.
As the captain, he did it impeccably.
Pygliacelli felt the captain's trust, and threw the ball out, and gave it a thumbs up to the captain, thanking him for his encouragement just now.
Although he lost a goal, he is now full of confidence, and he is confident that he will block all the next shots from Sampdoria Reserve.
This is Sampdoria's first goal, but it will definitely be their last goal in this game!
He Pigliacelli swears to the sky!
※※※
Pygliacelli saved Sampdoria's other shot, and Roma launched a fierce attack on Sampdoria's goal.
Now they are one goal behind, so the offensive is more intense than before.
Old De Rossi didn't think about whether to attack or not.
In this case, of course, there is only one way to attack, otherwise wouldn’t we have to surrender?
So now he is not at all confused.
The Rome team was in a tide, but Sampdoria's defense was not vegetarian either.
Every day, in the repeated bombings of Gao Zheng and Icardi, Sampdoria's defense has made rapid progress. Bruno successfully trained the team to a team that is good at defense at the end of the season. This is really beyond the expectations of everyone who is familiar with this team.
While Roma was attacking, Gao Zheng was still at the forefront of the team's formation and did not go back to participate in the defense.
This is also what Brunoy demands him. He does not need to participate in the defense. He is an offensive bridgehead for the team's counterattack in the front. Once Sampdoria's offense advances, he runs forward and participates in the offense.
Of course, in the entire Sampdoria reserve team, only Gao Zheng can enjoy such privileges.
Even Icardi, who scored a lot of goals, had to come back honestly to participate in the defense.
Because only Gao Zheng's physical fitness is the worst in the team, and defense is actually very physically consuming. His tone wastes his precious physical strength on defense that he is not good at, so it is better to let him keep his energy to attack. Especially in this game, Gao Zheng also started and had very high requirements for his physical fitness. Putting Gao Zheng at the front is also to reduce his sprint distance.
In order to use every part of Gao Zheng's physical strength at the most critical moment, Bruno really racked his brains.
Sampdoria naturally understood why Gao Zheng had to play like this, but others didn't understand.
After Gao Zheng scored a huge goal, everyone turned their attention to this tall man.
While the players of Sampdoria reserve team were fighting hard to defend, Gao Zheng either stood there with his hands on his hips or walked slowly on the field.
It was the first time that Porata's son Franco watched Gao Zheng play football on the spot. He was surprised by Gao Zheng's performance: "The others are trying to stop Roma's goal, but he is out of the matter. Isn't that good?"
"What's wrong with it?" Porata waited for his son, "Genius has privileges!"
"I feel that he lacks fighting spirit. He doesn't seem to care whether his team will lose the ball. I can't see any anxiety in his face... Although the goal is wonderful, football is a team sport, right? Attack and defense must be a whole, right?"
The son refuted it in front of outsiders. Porata was very embarrassed and glared at him: "You know what a fool! I'm not nice to say, even if we lose the ball on the defense line, I believe Gao can score another goal!"
"Then his previous goal was in vain..." Franco, the scolded son, muttered in a low voice.
Moretti explained to Franko: "High physical fitness is not very good. He used to play as a substitute in the past. But this final was too important, so he was arranged to start. In order to allow him to stay on the court as much as possible, he had to play like this."
"That's it..." Franko was still a little unacceptable, "Are he not worried about his team losing the goal?"
"Stop talking nonsense, it's all!" Porata always had a bad face to his son.
Moretti was much more patient, and he smiled and said, "Maybe Gao trusted his teammates very much? He believed that they could withstand Roma's offensive and create opportunities for him, just like the ball just now..."

Alberto Massi and his teammates still withstood the Roma's attack and launched the attack.
Gao Zheng received the pass from the front again. He did not stop the ball, but directly knocked the ball horizontally to the side and gave the left back Grico who was inserted at high speed.
After passing the ball, he turned around and ran forward, but the speed was not very fast.
Icardi was faster than him and had already rushed in front of him, which immediately attracted the defensive attention of the Roman defenders.
Gao Zheng continued to run forward, but the speed was really not fast. Soon two Sampdoria reserve players surpassed him and ran ahead of him. They naturally successfully attracted the attention of Rome defensive players.
Gao Zheng was still running forward slowly. At this time, he was already submerged in Sampdoria's rapid counterattack attack, as if he had hidden himself in the sea.
Grico, who was taking the ball on the wing, looked up and observed the middle, and saw Icardi.
But at the same time, Roma's right-back Sabery also approached Grico step by step during the high-speed return to defense, leaving him with little room to continue dribbling.
"Pass it to Icardi!" In the stands, Franco saw this scene and shouted out anxiously. In his opinion, this was a great opportunity for Sampdoria to strike back. If the football is to be passed out immediately, the speed must not be reduced. Once the opponent's defender is held on Grico, Sampdoria's quick counterattack may not be able to hit.
"Idiot, be careful of Gao!" His father, Porata, stared at Gao Zheng, and at the same time spoke up to remind his stupid son.
Gao Zheng?
Although Franco found it strange, he still obediently searched for Gao Zheng on the court.
He saw Gao Zheng still running towards the penalty area, but his speed did not look like a quick counterattack at all. He was a little disappointed - he said he wanted to save his strength when defending, so he played in a walk. He ran so slowly after attacking, so he couldn't just save his strength, right?
At this moment, Grico swung his left foot and wanted to make a direct cross. Sabery rushed forward with a quick step, stretching his legs and blocking him.
But Grico did not really pass the football into the penalty area, but instead hit the football with his left foot and dunked it to the middle, just in time to shake Sabelie away.
Then Grico then passed the football with his right foot to the middle with an inverted triangle pass!
Franco did not see Grico's series of operations, but he saw Gao Zheng suddenly accelerate and rushed straight towards the penalty area!
Then he received the ball from Grico!
When he received the ball, he was actually very close to Roma's midfielder Florenti who returned to defense. Florenti almost tackled the ball while Gao Zheng received the ball, intending to break the ball while Gao Zheng had just received the ball and was not firmly standing.
But while receiving the ball, Gao Zheng stepped on the football with his right foot and pulled it to the left, just avoiding Florentzi's frontal interception!
Then he gently knocked the football that he pulled over with his right foot forward with his left foot, and he himself passed by Florentzi's leg and swept the football into the penalty area.
Franco was stunned in the stands - is this the same person as the lazy Gao Zheng? From receiving the ball to ex-human being done in one go, it was as if it was so moving!
The Roman fans in the stands had already heard a huge scream, mixed with booing...
But this did not stop Gao Zheng from dribbling into the penalty area.
Roma central defender Antey hurriedly came up to block Gao Zheng, and at this time Icardi was in place in the middle. He raised his arm, like a lighthouse on the cliff of Genoa Bay, hoping that Gao Zheng could see him.
Gao Zheng did see him and passed the football with one kick!
But Antey made a kick at this critical moment and blocked Gao Zheng's cross.
The football hit his leg without penetrating!
Before everyone could react, Gao Zheng's left foot, which had just passed the ball, whipped back like a whip, and pulled the bounced football towards the goal!
The kick was so swift and hidden that the goalkeeper of the Rome Reserve Team Pygliacelli did not react at all. When the football rushed to the far corner, he just stood there and watched the football fly over, then hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal...
In the 17th minute of the first half, Gao Zheng scored twice, and Sampdoria reserve team led by two goals!
(Note: The player who was removed from Harmony in the first two chapters was named Mladan, also called M***... so he was removed from Harmony)

PS, I won’t watch the game between Sweden and Switzerland tonight, but I can still X**C:
I am more optimistic that Switzerland beat Sweden with one goal.
Chapter completed!
