Prominence in Football Community

"Oh ho ho ho ho! Free kick twice!" Careza laughed as the football flew into the goal. "Verona doesn't seem to believe in evil, so he must test his high free kick scoring ability on himself!"

"But for Rigoni, there's nothing he can do if he doesn't foul. If he doesn't foul, I'm afraid Gao will slip away from him..." Bergomi felt that this matter was unsolvable for Rigoni— —Gao Zheng will be given a free kick for a foul, and Gao Zheng may be single-handed if he does not foul. He is also wronged...

"Free kick! Another free kick! Gao Zheng scored twice! It's really either not scoring in three rounds of the league, or scoring twice!" Liu Hong was very happy. Gao Zheng finally broke the scoring drought. He finally didn't have to see those annoying discussions in the media.

Did Gao Zheng's condition decline, did Gao Zheng become complacent, did Gao Zheng encounter difficulties...

Just looking at the headlines of these discussions makes people feel depressed, and they are serious discussions. Now the media is really doing everything to attract attention and traffic.

It's all right now, Gao Zheng slapped those people in the face, and they can finally shut up.

The world suddenly became clean.

※※※

After Gao Zheng scored two consecutive free kicks, Verona's tough defensive tactics against him are finally over, and there is no way to continue. As long as there is a foul, Gao Zheng may use free kicks to score...

But at this time, there is not much time left before the end of the game.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Verona 2:0 in the away game, and finally scored three points after three rounds of invincibility.

After seven league rounds, Sampdoria ranked fifth with 13 points.

As a newly promoted horse, although his performance was unstable and there were some ups and downs, such results are already very good.

You must know that the goal of the club's board of directors for Di Francesco this season is just to relegation.

Gao Zheng mentioned his free kick in an interview with reporters after the game.

"I practice free-kicks all the time, just for times like this. I know a lot of people think I'm a bully because I'm thin. I'm glad they think that because it means I can score again."

The reason why Gao Zheng said this is that he hopes to use the media to erect his image of "excellent free kick" and spread it. After all, if he is targeted like this every game, even if he can score with free kicks It will also be very tiring. Not to mention that the probability of scoring free kicks is not that high. If the opponent violated his entire game and gave him ten free kicks, but he didn't score any free kicks, this is also normal in the game, but for Gao Zheng It is disadvantageous.

So now he needs to let everyone know that he is good at free kicks. Once this fixed impression is formed, his free kicks become a kind of nuclear weapon, and he does not need to use them at all. Don't dare to be cruel to yourself.

Gao Zheng can solemnly promise that he will never use this strategic weapon first, as long as the opponent does not foul him.

I have to say that in the game against Verona, he felt very good about his free kicks, he kicked two and scored both.

But he can't guarantee that he can score with free kicks every time.

He believes that after this game, when other teams face him again, they will think more about whether to use that set of tactics that kills one thousand and hurts one thousand five.

Gao Zheng's teammate Obiang later confirmed Gao Zheng's statement in the mixed area: "From the time I know him, he has been practicing free kicks. He obviously knows how to deal with those foul tactics. I think he does It was great...”

Alberto Massi made his first appearance in this match,

The performance was very good, helping the team to seal the opponent, but when he was interviewed after the game, he did not talk about his performance, but said to the reporter: "Gao's feet are full of magic. Another proof of his free-kick quality. So when we got the free-kick, we were already thinking about how to celebrate the goal."

He made the reporters laugh.

"It's too much, Alberto!"

"No, I'm serious, and I'm not exaggerating!" Marcy shook her head seriously. "If you've played with him in the reserves like I did, you'll believe every word I say. Gao is the best talent I've ever seen, he has that quality."

His serious appearance scared the reporters.

Di Francesco also endorsed Gao Zheng at the post-match press conference: "Yes, after training every day, Gao will always practice free kicks for half an hour, from the first day I saw him That's it, even during the physical training period. I'm glad that his hard work has achieved the result he wanted in this game. In fact, I'm not worried at all about the opponent using physical confrontation to contain Gao. That's why."

Sure enough, as Gao Zheng expected, the media and the Internet the next day were full of discussions about Gao Zheng's free kick. The media turned around and found that Gao Zheng already had a record of scoring free kicks during the second division, so he really has a good ability to score free kicks, not talking big.

A player who is good at playing with his right foot, scored a hat-trick with his left foot against AC Milan and now scores twice with a free kick...

Does he have any weaknesses?

Hmm... Really, everyone knows that Gao Zheng's header is not good, and Gao Zheng has never denied it.

However, many people think that poor headers are no longer a big problem, or to put it another way: Fortunately, Gao Zheng is not good at headers. If Gao Zheng is good at headers, it will make people suspect that he is He is no longer an alien, and now it seems that he is still a normal human being, which is really a relief...

After announcing the end of the training, Di Francesco saw Gao Zheng take the football and the mobile wall to the training ground to practice free kicks. He was used to this scene.

But when he saw the place where Gao Zheng put the football, he froze for a moment: "What are you doing so far away?"

He walked up curiously.

Seeing that he is the head coach, Gao Zheng explained: "I suddenly thought of a question, coach. The place close to the penalty area is a dangerous area, and defensive players will not foul easily. But my range of activities is not only near the penalty area, Sometimes I will retreat to the midfield. If they foul me at this time, even if they give a free kick, it will be a free kick away from the goal. It will not pose a big threat to the goal, but it can also hinder our attack..."

Di Francesco nodded: "Yes, that's right. Actually in the game against Verona, when you scored two free kicks, they did it, pressing you hard when you retreated. .”

"So I thought, if I can kick a free-kick away from the goal and put it in the goal, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Di Francesco was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gao Zheng to think and solve the problem from this perspective...

In theory, Gao Zheng’s approach is certainly correct, but it is not so easy in practice, because the farther the free kick is from the goal, the lower the threat. . Scoring a free kick from a distance is easy to say, but easier said than done?

He didn't expect Gao Zheng to give up on this difficult problem.

When Di Francesco was in a daze, Gao Zheng had already set up the football, then made a run-up and kicked the football towards the goal about 38 meters away.

The football flew into the goal.

But Gao Zheng shook his head. It was a goal, but the speed of the ball was too slow, and in the end the football fell significantly, and it was almost close to the ground when it flew into the goal. Now it is an empty goal, so football can be scored. If there is a goalkeeper, this goal can be said to be no threat.

Di Francesco's voice reminded him from the side: "If you want to score longer free kicks, you have to increase your leg strength. It's useless to practice free kicks alone."

Gao Zheng turned his head to look at the head coach, and then slapped: "Yes! Thank you coach!"

After speaking, he stopped practicing, but ran to the gym.

Di Francesco shook his head behind him, the genius is still working so hard, how can he let others live...
