Prominence in Football Community

Gao Zheng didn't tell his teammates about his plan. After all, it didn't match the coach's arrangement. At this time, it is true that a solid defense is more important. If the opponent scores another goal, the team will fall into a desperate situation.

The whole team cannot be buried with him just because of his willful actions alone.

So he intends to use his personal ability to try to solve the problem.

But for some reason, when the game restarted, Gao Zheng found that his teammates were willing to hand over the football to him.

This saves him the effort of raising his hand to ask for the ball.

The first time he received the ball at the front of the opponent's penalty area after he came on the field, he took a sudden cold shot.

Faced with his shot, Padua goalkeeper Ivan Pellizzoli didn't even make a save. Fortunately, the ball ended up over the crossbar and did not really threaten the goal he was guarding.

Although he missed a goal, Gao Zheng's kick still made the emotional Padua fans in the stands pause their singing.

The startled Pellizzoli pointed at Gao Zheng and yelled at his central defender teammate Ilya Legati: "Keep an eye on that kid! Don't let him shoot so easily next time!!"

After Pozzi left the field, Sampdoria still had two forwards, which happened to correspond to Padova's two central defenders.

Legatti was defending Pozzi before. After Pozzi was off the field, his defensive object was naturally replaced by Gao Zheng who had just played.

Although both Pozzi and Gao Zheng play as centers, their playing styles are completely different. At the beginning, Legatti defended Gao Zheng in the same way as he defended Pozzi, staying inside the penalty area to prevent Gao Zheng from approaching the goal.

As a result, Gao Zheng didn't come in at all, and shot directly outside.

It was indeed his defensive error.

"There won't be a next time." Legati stared at Gao Zheng and said in a deep voice.

Gao Zheng received the ball again soon - when everyone got the ball in the frontcourt, they almost always chose to pass it to Gao Zheng instead of others.

This time Legatti, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed over when the football was passed to Gao Zheng, and then slammed into Gao Zheng with his arms crossed.

The reason why the arms are clamped is to avoid fouls-according to the rules, when the body is fighting, the upper limbs cannot be raised. Raising the force will be judged as a foul by pushing people with the strength of the arms.

And as long as the arms are clamped, it is using the strength of the entire upper body, which is not considered a foul.

But when Legatti bumped into Gao Zheng, he didn't wait for Gao Zheng to lose his balance, but also to control the football.

In fact, Gao Zheng was bumped sideways by Legati, but he didn't lose his balance, nor did he lose control of the football.

Even when Legati bumped into Gao Zheng, he had the illusion that he didn't know if it was an illusion - he obviously didn't use that much force, but Gao Zheng jumped out sideways as if he had been knocked into the air ...

As for the football, it didn't escape from the control of Gao Zheng's legs. Instead, when Gao Zheng was "knocked" to the side, he was followed by the hook.

Legatti suddenly realized that he was knocked over by him... It was obviously he who took the initiative to get out of the way!

Sure enough, the next thing he saw Gao Zheng, who was out of his defensive range, raised his right foot, and the straight instep drew towards the football!

At this moment, Legatti felt a chill down his back—he seemed to have seen the moment when the football flew into the goal... If the goal really scored, would he count as an indirect assist?

But fortunately, when he turned his head to look at the goal, goalkeeper Pellizzoli made a wonderful save, soaring into the air, and wiped the football off the crossbar with the tip of his finger!

"Wow!! Pellizzoli! He made a world-class save!!" Valentino Sciglio exclaimed.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!" Moretti was on the stand, clapping his hands on the iron railing.

He felt a pity that Gao Zheng didn't score this goal. This is an excellent opportunity for Sampdoria to take the lead again!

"Gao may have missed the best opportunity for Sampdoria to take the initiative in their own hands again!" Silio also felt sorry for Gao Zheng and Sampdoria.

Seeing the football being lifted out by the goalkeeper, Gao Zheng put his hands on his head, showed an incredulous expression, and then sighed.

Sampdoria coach Iachini also sighed on the sidelines.

"Bad luck!" Carrillo grumbled.

"Pellizzoli finally showed the talent that he was once expected to save in this ball." In front of the Padua coach bench next door, coach Alessandro Dal Canto applauded while Said to the assistant coach next to him.

Ivan Pellizzoli, a talented goalkeeper from the Atlanta youth academy, moved to Roma for 14 million euros when he was only 20 years old. But his performance in Rome did not meet the heights people expected of him. After five years in Rome, he was loaned to Reggina. Later, he was bought out by Reggina and then transferred to Moscow. Locomotive team, in the cold Moscow, he also failed to regain his form, and then returned to Italy.

He was still in Cagliari last season, and he came to Padova on a free transfer this season.

In the toss and turns, his talent was consumed.

It is only in this save that people can be excited and vaguely think of the talented and talented goalkeeper back then.

Cantor was taken aback by Gao Zheng's shot. He almost wanted to recall William Guidaye, who was warming up, in advance, but Pellizzoli's performance gave him some comfort. Maybe there is no need to recall in advance Jidayi, let him fully warm up, so that he can play a 100% role on the field...

※※※

This save seemed to restore some confidence to Pellizzoli himself. He jumped up from the ground and yelled at Legatti, his teammate defending Gao Zheng: "Ilya—! What are you doing!?"

Legatti knew he was wrong and couldn't choke back. He could only vent his anger on Gao Zheng. He turned his head and stared at Gao Zheng who was regretting not scoring a goal.

How did you promise yourself just now?

He won't have another chance to shoot... and then another kick comes right away!

Are you deliberately against me?

Provocative isn't it?

Very well, Chinaman, you managed to piss me off, you're dead.

Legatti's opportunity came quickly.

Sampdoria did not take the corner directly to the goal, but sent a tactical corner.

Then an offensive was reorganized.

Gao Zheng ran from the penalty area to the outside of the penalty area, pulling out to look for opportunities.

The teammates must have passed the football to Gao Zheng immediately after seeing Gao Zheng.

When Gao Zheng turned his back to the offensive direction in the free throw arc and was about to catch the ball, Legati rushed out of the penalty area and ran towards Gao Zheng's back.

Gao Zheng didn't look back, but he seemed to intuitively feel that someone was coming from behind, so he immediately swung the football behind with his right foot after stopping the ball, and made a very classic extraordinary move-Cruyff turned around!

But he didn't finish this action, the football was pushed out by him, but when he turned around, Legatti kicked his supporting foot...

"Cruyff" who turned halfway fell to the ground, and this time he finally lost control of the football.
