Chapter 48: Substitute

When Emmanuel Polata walked into Sampdoria's Mugnani training base, he was a little confused-where is the reserve team's game?
This is the first time he has come to watch the reserve team. He knows very little about the reserve team.
At this moment, he saw a big fat man who was even fatter than he was walking tremblingly. The Sampdorian scarf on his neck showed his identity and made him look gone. neck……
So he quickly hurried to catch up: "Sorry, may I ask where the reserve team is playing?"
The big fat man turned back and saw Polata: "Is it the first time to watch the reserve team?"
Borata was a little embarrassed: "Yes..."
I didn't expect the other party to ask more, but said: "Just follow me."
"Thank you, my name is Emmanuel Polata."
"Clariant Moretti."
With Moretti's heavy gasps, they quickly arrived at the Ricardo Garone Stadium.
When they arrived, both players were warming up on the court.
At a glance, Polata saw a thin and tall one among the warm-up players in Sampdoria, who was the Chinese boy who often came to his store to buy Focaccia!
It turned out to be a reserve player...
Polata felt so magical.
"Don't you sit in the stands?" Clariant Moretti asked the other when she saw the other side standing in a daze.
"Oh, oh...I want it, thank you." Polata returned her gaze and followed Moretti into the stands.
The perspective here is better and the view is clearer.
The Chinese boy in the warm-up was playing with a ball. He kicked the football high. When the football fell, he stretched out his foot casually. Without lifting it, he placed it on the ground. When the football touched his feet , Stopped on the turf steadily, and did not roll at all, like the iron nails attracted by the magnet.
"This..." Polata whispered in surprise.
Moretti next to him laughed: "Looking at the high game for the first time?"
"High?" Polata looked at Moretti strangely.
"His name, Gao, Gao Zheng." Moretti pointed to the Chinese boy on the field.
Borata remembered that the Chinese boy's name was introduced in the newspaper. "Yes, for the first time..."
"I think so, you didn't even know where the reserve team played." Moretti laughed.
Polata laughed embarrassedly.
"Are you interested in him after reading the newspaper?" Moretti asked.
"Uh, neither is it." Polata answered ambiguously.
"what does that mean?"
"I did read the newspaper to find out that the Chinese boy who often came to my shop to buy Focacha turned out to be a player of the Sampdoria Reserve."
Borata's words surprised Moretti: "He is your... regular customer?"
"I didn't expect it." Polata laughed. "When I saw the report in the newspaper, I was taken aback. So I decided to watch a game and confirm it. I didn't expect it to be..."
"It's unbelievable..." Moretti said, shaking his head.

I don’t know if Latic really convinced the first team. In short, neither Gao Zheng nor Icardi was transferred to the first team for training. They still stay in the reserve team to train and participate in reserve team games.
After defeating the Genoa reserve team at home, last week's game between the Sampdoria reserve team and the Bologna reserve team was postponed to April 19th. Today's home game against the Cesena reserve team is the first game after the lighthouse derby.
But the number of fans who came to watch the game was much less than the previous one.
It seems that in the reserve team, in addition to the lighthouse Derby and the key games of the playoffs, not many people come to see the ball in other games.
Gao Zheng still didn't start the game, he continued to sit on the bench.
Starting strikers are Icardi and Testaldi.
Although Gao Zheng had a very good performance in the game against Genoa, Bruni still did not change his plan for Gao Zheng-not to encourage growth, lay a solid foundation, steadily fight, and try not to trigger the "booby trap" on his left foot.
In the last game, Gao Zheng played almost half of the game, and Gao Zheng was indeed very hard. As a result, in the training after the game, Bruni’s coaching staff found that Gao Zheng’s physical fitness did not fully recover, and he looked a bit tired in training. The training effect is therefore not as good as before, to know that this is still on the premise of a day off after the game.
This shows that Gao Zheng's physical fitness is still far from the requirement to play the whole game.
Gao Zheng did not dispute this arrangement. He certainly knew his current situation. He trusted Bruni's arrangements for himself and would not think that the head coach was deliberately suppressing himself.
They don’t understand Marcy. They think the head coach is confused, and he doesn’t have to use the Big Devil. He is allowed to be substituted in games. Isn’t it a tyranny?
This game Massey was also placed on the bench.
He muttered to Gao Zheng sitting next to him: "You really can't see..."
Gao Zheng said with a smile: "I have experienced worse things, just playing on the bench, what can't you see?"
"You say that, I can't refute..."

"Another substitute?" Clariant Moretti was surprised to see that Gao Zheng was not among the eleven starters. He thought that with Gao Zheng's performance in the Lighthouse Derby, this game should definitely start, right?
"Are you? He is on the bench?" Polata asked next to him curiously.
"The last lighthouse derby he played in the fiftieth minute," Moretti explained.
Complete a hat-trick in 40 minutes to help the team defeat their rivals in the same city 4:2. This performance is not enough for him to start?
Polata thought in his heart, not understanding how the head coach of the reserve team arranged.

Ten minutes after the game began, the Sampdoria reserve team lost the ball.
In fact, the performance of the Sampdoria reserve team in the reserve league this season is very mediocre. Before the appearance of Icardi and Gao Zheng, the Sampdoria reserve team had almost no highlights.
Even if Icardi came, it did not significantly improve the team's performance. After all, Icardi is a pure shooter and needs the support of his teammates. If his teammates are not good, his ability will also be discounted.
But when Gao Zheng started playing and after scoring four goals in two games, the irritated Icardi was more desperate and more active than ever.
So after eleven minutes, he equalized for the Sampdoria reserve team.
After the goal, Icardi waved his fist to the bench.
"I'm demonstrating to you again," Marcy said.
Gao Zheng smiled slightly and did not respond.
Then the game reached a deadlock.
There are some opportunities on both sides, but no one has seized it.
At the end of the first half, the Sampdoria reserve team also ushered in bad news-the front waist Nicola Muratore was injured, unable to stick to the game, was replaced by Nenad Costicic Go down.
After the start of the second half, Gao Zheng was not replaced as he did in the last game.
In the fiftieth minute, Bruni used the second substitution and replaced Bruno Martella with Bruno Martella.
"There is only one substitution, why not let Gao play?" Polata was very dissatisfied with the reserve coach's decision. He came to watch Gao Zheng play. If Gao Zheng didn't play, didn't he run in vain? To be honest, he is not interested in the reserve team game at all...
Moretti said nothing but stared at the stadium.
Compared with the previous lighthouse derby, this game is far from intense or exciting. This is the normal state of the reserve team's games, so how can wonderful games often be there?
※※※
Gao Zheng and Massi were once again called to warm up by assistant coach Cassírio. This is just to avoid them from sitting on the bench and getting cold. It does not mean that they can play after the warm-up.
"After the two-game winning streak, I originally thought that we hope to enter the playoffs this time, but it still seems to be very dangling. What is the head coach thinking about, don't put your big killer..." while warming up , Marcy complained to Gao Zheng around him.
"Maybe the coach is waiting for the opportunity?" Gao Zheng replied.
"Waiting for an opportunity? What opportunity?"
Gao Zheng warmed up while looking at the stadium: "Waiting for the opponent to want to win this game?"
Just finished, the game appeared dead ball state, the visiting team Cesena reserve substitutions, they replaced the left back Andre Marozzi with center Alejandro Rodriguez, the original five guards adjusted to With four guards, the formation changed from 541 to 442.
Massimo Agostini, the head coach of Cesena's reserve team, showed a good move and was about to attack!
When Sampdoria's reserve players warmed up and returned, Gao Zheng was directly stopped by assistant coach Cassírio and he was not allowed to return to the bench.
"Ready to play, high."
Marcy stared at Gao Zheng with wide eyes, but did not expect that he was really hit by the Big Devil! When the opponent made a change, the head coach also adjusted...
He now doubts whether the Big Devil has received any hint from the head coach in advance, or why is it so accurate?

PS, well, I’m not to blame for Egypt’s two-goal loss to Russia... How can I think that Russia at home is like the Soviet Red Army that surrounded Moscow...
Today at eight o'clock in Portugal against Morocco, I am worried that Ronaldo will be in a very good state in the first game. This game will be misfired. After all, the sooner the state comes out, the easier it will be to succeed.
Morocco has lost to Iran, and this game should not be lost...I prefer the two teams to tie.
There is no suspense in the game between Uruguay and Saudi Arabia. Uruguay will beat Saudi Arabia by three goals!
In the middle of the night, Spain played Iran. From the performance of Spain's first game, there is no problem in their defeat of Iran in this game. The suspense is only to win a few goals. I think Spain will also win Iran by three goals.
Don’t say I’m a beacon. If these two lights are on again, they won’t live-can Spain lose to Iran by three goals? Could Uruguay lose to Saudi Arabia by three goals?
It's impossible!
