The Marathi Stadium was almost full, and the fans all came to see "Mr. Four Goals" Gao Zheng.

This is the second round of the league, Sampdoria vs. Siena at home.

Sampdoria's first home game this season, because of the last game against AC Milan, the Marasi Stadium was basically full for this game.

Gao Zheng still started the game, but he didn't start with full firepower like he did in the first game, so that everyone could feel that he was in a hot state today.

After all, Siena and AC Milan are not the same.

He didn't have to be so aggressive against Siena.

And after a good game, it needs to be adjusted.

So in the first half of the game, Gao Zheng didn't score.

Now the score is 1-0 and it was Gustadro who scored for Sampdoria, who broke the deadlock for Sampdoria with a header from a corner kick.

However, in the 61st minute of the second half, the goal hero Gastadro shoveled Siena's offensive player in the penalty area. The referee gave him a yellow card and gave Siena a penalty!

Suddenly there were harsh boos over the Marassi Stadium.

Amid the boos, Siena forward Manuel Calleo hit the penalty post, but before the Sampdoria fans switched from boos to cheers, Siena's Field player Simeone Vergasola followed up with a follow-up shot and bounced the football into the empty goal.

Siena equalized the score!

The atmosphere in the Marathi stadium suddenly cooled down a bit.

Seven minutes later, in the 69th minute, Gao Zheng took the ball from the front of the opponent's penalty area with his back to the goal. It seemed that he had his back to the attacking direction and could only pass the football, but this time he gently moved the football to the side. With a wave, he quickly turned around, turned around and volleyed with one kick!

The football bounced against the turf and rushed to the back corner of the goal!

Although Siena goalkeeper Gianluca Pegolo threw himself to make a save, Gao Zheng's kick was sudden and tricky. The football was heading for a dead end. Even if he stretched his body as much as possible, he couldn't touch the football.

The football flew into the goal!

"High! High! He saved Sampdoria! A clean turn and hit the goal! This is his fifth league goal this season! And the league has only started two rounds! Currently on the league scorer list, High alone is at the top of the list!"

A one-goal lead is an unsafe score for any team, but if the opponent has one less player, it is another matter.

In the 82nd minute, Siena central defender Felipe received his second yellow card of the game for a foul on Gao Zheng and was sent off with a red card.

With one less Siena, it will be difficult to threaten Sampdoria's goal.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Siena 2:1 at home and won two consecutive victories after the start of the league.

Although they won two consecutive victories, Sampdoria did not rank first in the league.

Although they and current top-ranked Juventus are both victorious with six goals and one conceded, Sampdoria have had a point deducted before the start of the league due to match-fixing. , which is equivalent to starting the new season with a minus one point.

So although they have achieved the same results as Juventus, they can only accumulate five points now, ranking fourth after Juventus, Naples and Lazio.

But Sampdoria is not the worst.

In addition to them, Atlanta, Turin and Siena were affected by the match-fixing case in Serie A this season. Among them, Sampdoria and Turin both deducted one point, Atlanta deducted two points, Siena was the worst, directly deducted six points,

The league started the new season with a negative six points. They drew one game and lost one game in two rounds of the league. Now the points are still minus five points...

"Gao is really in good shape now. He has scored in two consecutive games and scored five goals in two games. He is currently the best scorer in the list and has already left other competitors far behind. .Although the league has just started, judging from the odds offered by the bookmaker for the top scorer, Gao is the most favored one..."

On the TV, the host was discussing Gao Zheng's performance in these two league games with the guests, and the accompanying picture was all five of Gao Zheng's goals.

Palin was sitting on the sofa, watching TV with a cup of coffee in his hand.

The girlfriend came out of the bedroom door with sleepy eyes: "I woke up and found that you were not there. Why did you wake up so early today?"

"Breakfast is ready, dear." Perrin said without looking back, watching the TV.

"Huh? Is that tall?" The girlfriend behind him exclaimed.

Perrin turned his head: "You know him?"

His girlfriend smiled: "How many people don't know him now? He is a big hit now, and he scored four goals against AC Milan alone, which is said to be the first in history..."

"Yeah, he's a big hit now..." Perrin murmured thoughtfully.

"Why are you paying attention to him?" My girlfriend asked curiously.

"He's my opponent in the next round."

"Is the next round against Sampdoria?" the Pescara girl was surprised.

"Yeah. You go to wash up, breakfast is on the dining table." Palin ignored his girlfriend, but stared at the TV intently.

The girlfriend stared at Palin's focused back and raised her mouth. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that her boyfriend cared more about this opponent than other opponents, and he cared more about herself...

The day before the game, Palin suddenly received a call from Shalawi.

"You want to avenge me, Mattia." On the phone, Shalawi said very seriously.

Of course Palin knew about the match between Gao Zheng and AC Milan, and he also knew what his friend thought.

"You're going to beat him, you can't let him score!"

Palin said, "Don't worry, Stefan. Even if you don't tell me, I will try to beat him."

"You have to be extra careful with his left foot..."

"Left footed? But Stefan, Gao is a right footed player."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Palin heard Shalawi scolding: "Bastard! That bastard!"

Apparently, Shalawi realized that Gao Zheng had let himself lose so badly with only one foot, and he couldn't accept it...

Palin didn't expect that he would provoke Shalawi again, and he quickly comforted him: "I will avenge you, Stefan. But think about it better, with such an opponent, can't you force yourself to improve? I sometimes I was thinking, if I hadn’t met Gao back then, what would I be like now? Maybe I would have been lost in self-satisfaction and arrogance. Only then will I have the motivation to continue to struggle..."

Shalawi did not speak, he did not get the chance to play in the second game, and watched Pazzini complete a hat-trick in front of the TV, helping AC Milan beat Bologna 3:1 away, helping the team temporarily get rid of the first game fiasco crisis.

He thought at the time that he was excluded from the squad by coach Allegri because of his poor performance in the first game-you must know that Serie A has adopted a changed rule in the new season. The substitute list for each game has been increased to twelve, which means that 23 people from the first team can be selected for the big list.

But he was not there.

He thinks it's because of his poor performance in the first game.

But thinking about it now, he might have fallen into a misunderstanding.

It's not that he didn't perform well in the game, but that he didn't perform well in training after the game...

Yes, since losing the game, he has been in a state of confusion, unable to integrate into the team's training, and naturally it is impossible to meet the requirements for entering the squad.

He was only defeated by Gao Zheng once, and he gave up on himself... Looking at his friend Mattia Perrin, he can still challenge the devil in his heart with high spirits, why can't he himself?

The competitive young man once again aroused his fighting spirit.

"You're right, Mattia. It's just a loss in one game. I will continue to work hard and beat him the next time I meet him!"

Hearing what Shalawi said, Palin heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "It's great for you to think so. Let's work together and see who can beat him first... But maybe I'm going to be ahead, and tomorrow will be What about my game against him, I won't let him score!"
