Chapter 244 Can only fight alone

"The first half is over! The score is still 1:0, Juventus leads Sampdoria at home! Judging from this first half, Juventus has an absolute advantage. Sampdoria is fined After the next player, the formation has been shrunk, and the tactics have indeed become more conservative... But there is no way to do it. If they don't shrink the defense, it might not be 0:1 now, and they will concede more goals !" \u00261t;/p\u003e

When the referee Valeri blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Caresa briefly summarized the performance of both sides in the first half. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Juventus has an overwhelming advantage, and Sampdoria can only shrink and fight back. \u00261t;/p\u003e

There are very few opportunities to counterattack, and only a few opportunities have been blocked by Buffon. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At least if you only watch the first half, Gao Zheng is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Buffon. \u00261t;/p\u003e

His most dangerous attack was that Sampdoria counter-attack shot with a long ball. His shot was wiped out of the baseline by Buffon with the edge of his palm. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Looking at it calmly and rationally, his performance has a lot to do with the team's shrinking tactics. For most of the game, he and Icardi are fighting alone, and the midfielder can't provide them with any substantive benefits. support. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Often it's a big foot driving to the front field, and it's all up to Gao Zheng and Icardi to enter Longtan alone...\u00261t;/p\u003e

However, those who oppose and dislike Gao Zheng obviously will not be "calm and rational" at this time. During the intermission, there were many remarks and jokes mocking Gao Zheng on the Internet. In addition, there are some journalists who claim to work seriously in a certain media. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Gao said that he is a mountain? It's really bragging and not drafting. I suspect that he has never seen what a mountain is, thinking that a small bag of soil can be called a mountain. Now he has finally seen the real mountain! Ji Anloui Ji Buffon is the insurmountable mountain with no top in sight!"\u00261t;/p\u003e

"I suddenly feel a little sympathetic,

You said he was just bragging in front of media reporters, who hasn't bragged? As a result, he ran into Buffon after bragging, so that's it. The bragging is doomed to fail, and after the game, he will inevitably be ridiculed by the media—but it's normal, who made him brag first? If you have the kind of bragging, you have to have the kind to bear the price of being punctured! I hope he won't roll around after the game..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

※※※\u00261t;/p\u003e

In the Juventus dressing room, the Juventus players were bragging about their captain. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Gigi, your save is so beautiful!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Good job! That's what it is! Give that kid a little bit of a kick, or else he really thinks there's no one left in Serie A!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

"I can even imagine his psychological feelings-after all, he had another good opportunity, but he was thrown out by Gigi, hahaha!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

In the face of everyone's praise, Buffon waved his hand: "This is not something to be happy about. After all, he was given a chance. I hope we don't give him that chance in the second half!"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Everyone happily agreed. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Conte walked in and said with a serious expression: "Don't be too happy too early. They have one less player than us, but don't think that this can be taken lightly. Gao and Icardi played together when they were in the reserve team. On the ball, the tacit understanding is definitely better than the general striker combination. When they shrink the defense and counterattack, they must rely on the tacit understanding of the two to find offensive opportunities. Therefore, we must pay attention to cutting off the two of them when defending in the second half Don't let them connect in series!"\u00261t;/p\u003e

In the Sampdoria locker room on the other side, Di Francesco is saying to the two forwards Gao Zheng and Icardi: "We have one less person than them, so I am afraid it is very difficult for the team to support you as before. It's difficult, you can only rely on you to seize the opportunity, the two of you need to communicate more, I believe there is no problem with this..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

Gao Zheng and Icardi nodded. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Although Icardi regards Gao Zheng as a competitor, he will not confront Gao Zheng in the game because of this relationship. He should cooperate with them. He will assist Gao Zheng, and for Gao Zheng to assist his ball He also doesn't waste it easily. \u00261t;/p\u003e

This is actually a kind of benign competition, although it is unilateral...\u00261t;/p\u003e

※※※\u00261t;/p\u003e

Before the start of the second half of the game, the TV broadcast captured Gao Zheng and Icardi walking out of the player tunnel and chatting about something. But both of them covered their mouths with their hands, so no one knew exactly what they were talking about. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But this does not prevent the narrator from guessing. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"...Because there was one less player, Sampdoria shrunk their defense in the first half, and there were not many opportunities to attack, so Gao and Icardi also lacked opportunities to perform in the first half." Caresa said. "Gao was okay, a shot threatened the goal guarded by Buffon, and the Juventus fans in the stands broke into a cold sweat. But Icardi did not show at all, and he had to go back for most of the first half. Defense... I think the two are discussing how to attack in the second half. Di Francesco should still not provide them with too much support, so Sampdoria's offense depends on the cooperation of the two of them... They used to be teammates when they were in the reserve team, and they were the heroes who helped the Sampdoria reserve team win the championship. The tacit understanding must be extraordinary..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

In fact, Gao Zheng and Icardi were indeed discussing how to connect in the second half, how to move, and how to respond. \u00261t;/p\u003e

When he was about to walk on the court, Icardi said to Gao Zheng: "I will try my best to pass the ball to you and create opportunities for you."\u00261t;/p\u003e

Gao Zheng was very strange: "Didn't you keep talking about defeating me?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

"I don't allow you to be defeated by others." Icardi said seriously. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Gao Zheng smiled: "Thinking too much, Mauro, no one can beat me, not even you."\u00261t;/p\u003e

After Gao Zheng shook his head and walked onto the court, Icardi frowned behind him. \u00261t;/p\u003e

※※※\u00261t;/p\u003e

Although Gao Zheng and Icardi discussed how to cooperate, after the second half of the game started, the content of their discussions quickly lost their meaning. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Because of Juventus' targeted defense, the two of them were separated. How easy is it to get in touch? \u00261t;/p\u003e

So it quickly became a situation where neither Gao Zheng nor Icardi had to fight alone. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Icardi really wanted to pass the football to Gao Zheng, but after he tried twice, he found that he couldn't do it. The football he passed couldn't reach Gao Zheng's feet at all. In fact, it's okay if Gao Zheng can't catch the ball. The terrible thing is that after the pass is cut off by Juventus, he directly counterattacks. \u00261t;/p\u003e

So later when Icardi took the ball again, he could only choose to fight alone, and in the end he had no choice but to rush and take a very reluctant shot. \u00261t;/p\u003e

How could such a shot threaten the goal guarded by Buffon? \u00261t;/p\u003e

Gao Zheng has pulled to the left to get the ball, and Icardi is in the middle, of course he can pass the football directly - but this is a very meaningless approach, it is difficult for just one Icardi to grab in front of the goal ordered. \u00261t;/p\u003e

So he just made a fake move to cross, and then he took the football to the middle. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"High horizontal dribbling, Icardi is in the middle, and if the two want to connect, of course they have to shorten the distance first!" Careza said. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Belgomi next to him was not optimistic about Gao Zheng's actions: "When compressed together, there is no space..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Gao Zheng flick the football with the outside of his right foot, dodging Barzagli who was rushing up to break him. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But Bonucci has been following him and has not let him out of his control. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At the same time, Chiellini suddenly rushed up and dropped Icardi behind him-Icardi fell into an offside trap after a half-beat slow reaction. Even if Gao Zheng passed the ball to him at this time, he would Can't pick up. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Juventus' line of defense is indeed very tacit. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In addition to the three central defenders, other Juventus players have already recovered quickly to surround Gao Zheng. \u00261t;/p\u003e

For example, Pogba and Marchisio came from the midfield to form a four-person encirclement with Chiellini and Bonucci, intending to completely trap Gao Zheng. \u00261t;/p\u003e

With such a dense defense, it seems that the football under Gao Zheng's feet will be broken in the next second...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Icardi is pulling to the side, trying to make room for Gao Zheng to pass the ball to him. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At this moment, Gao Zheng, who was running horizontally, raised his right foot, as if he was going to shoot directly in the process. Chiellini, who was between him and the goal, stretched his legs to block it. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But the football didn't fly over, because Gao Zheng didn't shoot the goal at all, it was just a fake move! \u00261t;/p\u003e

His right foot came down and knocked the football from behind his supporting foot! \u00261t;/p\u003e

The football just got into the penalty area from Chiellini and Bonucci so abruptly...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Immediately after that, Gao Zheng suddenly stopped and changed direction, chasing the football between the two of them! \u00261t;/p\u003e

This kind of heel kick change direction is generally used by players when they dribble the ball high from the side and then break through the middle. No one thought that Gao Zheng would use it in the encirclement. \u00261t;/p\u003e

For a moment, whether it was Chiellini or Bonucci, or Pogba or Marchisio, they were stunned. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Buffon's reaction was the fastest, he had already abandoned the goal and rushed towards the football! \u00261t;/p\u003e

"High! Hey! Beautiful feint and change of direction! He went in!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Buffon! Buffon abandons the door and strikes!"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Amidst the huge exclamation in the stands, Buffon spread his arms to expand his defensive area and slid towards Gao Zheng at the same time. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Gao Zheng took a long leg, caught up with the football with a lunge, and poked with the toe of his left foot before Buffon! \u00261t;/p\u003e

At the same time Gao Zheng stabbed and shot, Buffon fell down quickly and slapped the rolling football with his hands. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The edge of his palm brushed against the football again. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But this time the football was squeezed by him and jumped, and it still flew towards the goal behind him tenaciously! \u00261t;/p\u003e

Behind Buffon, there is nothing but a huge goal, and no one can stop the ball. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Everyone watched helplessly as the football crossed the goal line and plunged into the net...\u00261t;/p\u003e

"gaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo1!!!!"\u00261t;/p\u003e
