Chapter 223: It's Time

Conceding a goal in the opening 16 minutes made Genoa coach Del Neri very unhappy, but after calming down and thinking about it, this is not too bad.

First of all, it's better to be behind in the opening 16 minutes than to be behind in the end of the game with 16 minutes left, right?

In addition, Genoa originally planned to play a more active tactic in this game. If it was a defensive counterattack before, it would be very troublesome to fall behind first. But now there is no need to adjust the tactics, and the players will not panic.

As an away game in the "Lighthouse Derby", how could it be possible not to concede a goal?

So conceding the ball, even falling behind is in Del Neri's plan.

After the initial disappointment, Del Neri went to the sidelines to comfort and encourage his players, he must lead by example through his performance, so that the players feel calm.

Bovo, who scored an own goal, looked very depressed, and his teammates were comforting him.

"You did your best, Caesar."

"Yes, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to respond by stretching my legs... It's just the other party's luck..."

Bower was silent, he didn't know what to say, he just felt ashamed.

Before, he had uttered harsh words to Gao Zheng, but he let him score so quickly, and it was hit on his body to change the line. He even thought it was Gao Zheng's intention to score in this way. Ball to humiliate yourself.

Antonio Donnarumma, the goalkeeper on the Genoa bench, is saying to his teammates: "I think if Bovo doesn't stretch his feet, the goal may not be scored. Bovo's luck is really bad, and that Chinese kid Good luck!"

He snorted hard.

After the game restarted, the leading Sampdoria played with ease, and they had the upper hand psychologically. Amid the cheers from the stands, they played harder and harder.

And Gao Zheng was very happy to see that Genoa, who was behind, did not choose to shrink the defense when facing the fierce offensive of Sampdoria. attack.

It's really rare for such a situation to happen to an Italian team.

Gao Zheng had to sigh again, the Derby is really good.

Of course, he didn't smile this time, so as not to be taught a lesson again.

Genoa and Sampdoria launched a fierce attack, but after all, they are behind, their mentality is slightly different from before, and there are more loopholes in defense.

"Actually, I think Del Neri should let the players stabilize first at this time, and don't rush to play against Sampdoria. The most important thing is to avoid conceding the ball in a short period of time..." commentator Caresa Said.

The guest next to him, Bergomi, also nodded in agreement with this opinion: "Yes, does Del Neri think that Genoa can quickly equalize the score after conceding a goal? Del Neri's Genoa has always played defensive counterattacks before, but this game suddenly and Sampdoria played against each other, I don’t know if this is a good thing, but now it has conceded a goal, which means that in terms of offensive ability alone, Sampdoria is slightly better..."

What Bergomi said was still polite, to avoid angering Genoa fans.

Angry fans are irrational. In their eyes, Immobile is no worse than Gao Zheng. Even if Immobile only scored three goals, Gao Zheng has already scored ten goals...

※※※

Although this goal was eventually counted as Bowo's own goal, in Icardi's eyes, this goal was scored by Gao Zheng.

In the "Lighthouse Derby" he was already ahead of himself.

In this game, he was able to start because of Maxi Lopez's injury. He naturally hopes to win the support of the fans and the favor of the head coach by scoring goals, so that he can stay in the starting lineup in subsequent games.

After all, Sampdoria's striker competition is still very fierce. In addition to Gao Zheng, Sampdoria also has Edel and Polly. Both of them are actually higher than themselves.

As a striker, it is easy to win the starting lineup, just keep scoring goals.

However, Icardi has only scored one goal until now, which is still far from Gao Zheng.

He was a little anxious.

In order to score goals, he is now firmly occupying the central penalty area.

At this time, Sampdoria launched an attack from the wing and made a direct cross.

But the quality of this cross is not high, a little too close to Genoa's goal.

The general striker may not grab the ball when they see the ball. After all, goalkeeper Frey has already attacked. Compared with the striker, the goalkeeper has the advantage of the arm, as well as the protection of the rules-if there is physical contact between the two sides, it must be a foul by the attacking side. It's not worth it to fight for the top.

But Icardi didn't think so. He only saw the flying football in his eyes and didn't pay attention to Frey at all. He also rushed towards the football and then jumped high.

In the next second, he and Frey met in the air, and the two collided fiercely!

Then fell from the sky.

Icardi landed first and Frey fell on top of him.

Both fell to the ground and were motionless.

"Oh! There was an accident in front of Genoa's goal! Very violent collision! Icardi and Frei! The referee whistled and suspended the game. I hope both sides are okay..."

There were boos from the stands.

During the booing, Icardi pushed Frey who was on top of him, rubbed his head, and his eyes were confused. He remembered that he was fighting for the top, but why did he fall to the ground?

And Frey next to him did not get up, holding his ankles with his hands... This scene frightened the Genoa players.

The TV broadcast quickly cut to the scene just now. In the slow-motion shot, Frey was trying to maintain his balance when he landed, but the foot that landed first touched Icardi's heel, slipped, and failed to stop. The weight of the whole person was immediately pressed down, and his ankle was twisted to the point of deformation—a sprain.

"This... the situation is not good. Frey may not be able to continue the game... It was only 27 minutes ago. Not only did Genoa fall behind, but they may also lose their main goalkeeper..."

"Damn!" Del Neri cursed furiously, he had never been so irritable when he lost the ball just now...

"Hurry up..." He glanced back at the bench, hesitated for a moment, and then chose a target. "Let Donnarumma warm up!"

The assistant coach quickly turned around and hooked Donnarumma on the bench: "Antonio, go warm up!"

Donnarumma jumped up from the chair as if with a spring on his buttocks, and then quickly ran to the warm-up area.

He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to win the "Lighthouse Derby".

But isn't this the opportunity he's dreamed of?

A chance to have a long and short confrontation with Gao Zheng!

He humiliated himself so much before the game, and now he wants to pay back a hundredfold!

When Donnarumma was warming up, his heart was burning. He had already thought about it. When he went on the field and failed to save Gao Zheng's shot, he would shake his finger at him to signal him not to do it.

※※※

Both Caresa and Bergomi were a bit surprised to see Donnarumma, rather than another Greek goalkeeper, Alessandro Zorvas, was the substitute goalkeeper who got up to warm up.

Then Carresa suddenly said excitedly: "Does Del Neri want to choose Antonio Donnarumma to replace the injured Frey? We all know that before this 'Lighthouse Derby', the most eye-catching war of words is The grievances between Gao and Donnarumma when they were in the AC Milan youth training camp... I don’t know if Del Neri also took this into consideration when he made this choice-maybe Donnarumma will be because of Gao’s shot. Get angry and play better?"

"It seems that Frey can't hold on any longer. The substitute goalkeeper on the Genoa bench has already gone to warm up, and it is Antonio Donnarumma who is warming up!" When Liu Hong mentioned the name, his tone was clearly audible. .

The war of words between Gao Zheng and Donnarumma is not only in Italy, but also in China, which is thousands of miles away. Also because of this battle of words, Chinese fans who didn't know who Donnarumma is now all remember this person's name-no way, it is too hateful.

On the Chinese Internet, almost no fan likes Donnarumma, because Donnarumma took the lead in launching a personal attack on Gao Zheng.

Seeing this scene now, many Chinese fans in front of the TV became excited.

Remember what Gao Zheng said before the game?

If Donnalu is right away, Sampdoria will win more easily!

Now is the time for him to fulfill this sentence!
