Chapter 262: Hard Dishes
Gao Zheng's father glanced at the table hanging on the wall, then picked up the remote control from the coffee table to change the channel, and changed from a CCTV set that was broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala to a sports channel.
As soon as he switched over, he saw Gao Zheng and his teammates standing in the players' tunnel waiting to play.
"Look, son!" The husband pointed to the TV screen and said to his wife next to him.
The wife didn't speak, just stared at the TV screen.
Gao Zheng on the screen did not have any abnormalities, he was talking and laughing with his teammates, and the whole person seemed very relaxed.
Seeing that her son didn't seem to be affected in any way, she put a snack when she was a mother.
Anyway, so many fans across the country are watching, and the mother doesn't want her son to drop the chain at a critical moment.
"CCTV, CCTV. Fans and friends from all over the country, viewers and friends in front of the TV, at this moment of farewell to the old and welcome the new, and the reunion of thousands of families, I only wish you a New Year's greetings to you on behalf of our colleagues on the sports channel, thank you for watching our Serie A live broadcast at this time......"
When the camera cut back to the Beijing studio, Liu Hong also wore a red Tang costume for this game, which looked very festive and festive on today's special day.
The studio has also made targeted holiday arrangements, and the whole is mainly red.
On the big screen behind him, on the red background is Gao Zheng wearing a Sampdoria jersey.
"And on this day when everyone is reunited with their families, our Chinese player Gao Zheng is still in Genoa, Italy. Today is the day of Sampdoria's home game against Roma, which is a very coincidental coincidence, and it also happens to be the Chinese New Year's Eve in our country. So it's really meaningful to be able to use this game to accompany everyone for a Chinese New Year's Eve...... In this game, Gao Zheng appeared in the team's starting lineup without any suspense...... The game is about to begin, so let's cut back to the game......"

The situation in Rome has not been too rosy lately. They could have stayed in the top six of the league all the time, but after Christmas, the team's results took a sharp turn for the worse.
There have been five consecutive league games without a win, with three defeats and two draws. The last win came just before Christmas, when they beat AC Milan 4-2 at home to AC Milan in the 18th league on December 22 last year.
With five games without a win, they have dropped from sixth to eighth in the league table, overtaken by Sampdoria and AC Milan.
"Roma are really having problems, Zeman has just been sacked because of his poor results, and this game will be led by his assistant coach Andre Zoli. It is said that a change of coach is like a change of knife, and I wonder if Andrezzoli can bring some positive changes to Roma, even if it is fresh......"
During the game, Caresa said.
At this moment, the score was 0:0, and the score did not change throughout the first half.
After a fifteen-minute half-time break, neither side made any substitutions, and the second half of the game began.
Eleven minutes into the second half, the deadlock was finally broken.
Icardi opened the scoring for Sampdoria with a header after receiving an assist from Kosticic.
The Marassi Stadium was jubilant, but Liu Hong's interest was not very high.
Because the person who scored the goal was not Gao Zheng.
On this special day for the people of the whole country, of course, he hopes that Gao Zheng can score goals, which can be regarded as the best Spring Festival gift for fans across the country......
The Chinese students who were watching the game in the decorated restaurant sighed regretfully when they saw that it was Icardi who scored.
'It's Icardi's ninth league goal of the season and he's been amazingly efficient!'
Gao Zheng and other teammates went to celebrate the goal with Icardi, and seeing this scene, the Chinese students still had some regrets.
※※※
Almost 20 minutes passed, the seventy-third minute of the game, but when Gao Zheng got the ball at the edge of the Rome penalty area, both the commentator Liu Hong in Beijing and the Chinese students in the Genoa restaurant were excited.
"This is Gao Zheng's chance!" Liu Hong shouted.
Gao Zheng's parents in front of the TV couldn't help but clench their fists.
But the Roma defense reacted quickly and immediately leaned in, with three men surrounding him at all, not giving him a chance to break forward or shoot at all.
At the same time, they also posted up for tackles, using their bodies to constantly squeeze Gao Zheng to force him to give up possession.
In order to snatch Gao Zheng's ball, the fourth Roma player also rushed up.
At the same time as he was grabbing, there was also a vacancy in his original area.
Gao Zheng suddenly passed the football into that vacancy, and Kostisic, who was inserted in the back, shot with his foot!
Roma goalkeeper Marten Stekelenberg made a save, but his attention was all on Gao Zheng, and he was not prepared for Kostisic's sudden shot, and the football flew into the Roma goal again!
“2:0! Sampdoria are 2-0 up at home to Roma! ”
Caresa shouted loudly, but the Chinese students in front of the TV held their heads in their hands: "Ah! Why pass the ball! You can shoot it yourself! ”
"Let's get one, Gao Zheng! Today is the Chinese New Year! ”
"That is, the most important hard dish at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner cannot be absent!"
Xiao Yingying glanced at Feng Shiyu and found that when everyone was in a hurry and felt sorry for Gao Zheng, Sister Feng did not look like she was emotionally fluctuating, and the expression on her face did not even change.
It's really stable......
※※※
Gao Zheng...... Pass the ball! Kostisic ...... The ball is in! Gao Zheng completed an assist...... Assists aren't a problem though. But I believe that the vast majority of Chinese fans probably still want to see Gao Zheng score a goal himself......"
Listening to Liu Hong say this, Gao Zheng's father didn't speak, but he agreed with the commentator's statement in his heart, and he also wanted to see his son score a goal.
He felt that only by scoring a goal could he be regarded as not blocking the national fans during the Chinese New Year.
After all, everyone gave up the Spring Festival Gala at this time and chose to watch the live broadcast of Sampdoria's game, not to watch Sampdoria win, but to watch his son score.
So the lack of goals is, of course, a blockage for fans across the country.
But he didn't speak, and he was worried that his thoughts would put pressure on the child.
Even if he actually said it in front of the TV, his son couldn't hear it.
But he has this kind of worry and superstition.
※※※
When Kostic celebrated the goal with Gao Zheng, he said to him: "You can actually shoot ......"
Gao Zheng shook his head: "But I'm not sure I can definitely score." ”
"You haven't scored yet......
"There's going to be a chance." Gao Zheng comforted Kostisic in turn.
Don't look at Roma in this game, they have conceded two goals, but the defense of Gao Zheng has been very strict, so Gao Zheng has not had any decent opportunities since the beginning of the game.
Gao Zheng took the ball in front of the goal just now, which can be regarded as a good opportunity.
Kosticic had no choice but to say to Gao Zheng: "I will pass the ball to you, as long as you run to the open ......" He knew what day it was, and on this day, he thought that Gao Zheng should score a goal to be perfect. Otherwise, the team won't win the game.
"Okay, thank you." Gao Zheng did not refuse the kindness from his teammates.
As a striker, he certainly needs the support of his team-mates.
※※※
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for when Gao Zheng would score, just two minutes after Kostisic's goal, Roma pulled one back.
Scoring for Roma was their current top scorer, Eric Lamela.
It was his eleventh league goal of the season.
As soon as he scored the goal, the atmosphere at the Malassi Stadium suddenly became a little tense - Roma went from being two goals down to one goal behind, and they were not far from equalising.
When everyone was wondering when Gao Zheng would score, if he was equalized by Rome, wouldn't he lose his wife and lose his soldiers if he didn't even win the game in the end?
Roma, who pulled one goal back, also came to the spirit, and they wanted to give up after falling behind by two goals in the 73rd minute.
As a result, Lamela scored a goal to help Roma close the gap to one goal.
A ball can be thought of......
At the very least, this game can take away a point.
So when the game resumed, Roma tried to launch a fierce attack on Sampdoria's goal.
However, they will need to be a little more patient, after all, it is the side that concedes the goal and the football is still in the control of the Sampdoria players.
They just need to be patient and wait until this attack of Sampdoria is over and the ball is back at their feet, and then they can launch a fierce attack on Sampdoria, who will let Sampdoria, who are a little too relaxed, see the determination of the "Red Wolves"!
At this moment, Sampdoria made a long pass directly from the back to find Icardi in front.
Icardi jumped to the top of Roma's centre-back Leandro Kastan.
With a height of 1.81 meters, he lost to Kastan, who is 1.86 meters tall, in an air battle.
Kastan pressed Icardi and pushed the ball out of the box.
The air raid siren over the restricted area of Rome was contacted.
But in the next second, everyone saw that the football that was pushed out by Kastan flew towards Gao Zheng!
And Gao Zheng stood on the landing point of the football, supported his body with his left foot, took a step back with his right foot, and twisted his hips at the same time, when the football flew over, another Roman defender Marquinhos jumped over and turned his body over, intending to use his back to block Gao Zheng's shot.
But it didn't work.
Gao Zheng, who was tilting his head up, kept watching the football, as if he hadn't seen Marquinhos rushing up at all.
When the football fell to the right height, he twisted his waist and turned his hips again, releasing all the energy that he had continued to twist before, and drove his right leg to hit the football like a whip!
With a bang, Marquinhos' ears rang with a muffled sound, and the football whizzed past him.
Go straight to the top corner of the goal.
Roma goalkeeper Stekelenburg soared into the air and stretched out his arms, but failed to touch the football.
The ball hits the underside of the crossbar, bounces off the ground, and bounces up to lift the net.
The ball is in!
The most important hard dish at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was finally served to the tables of Chinese fans.

PS, a sentence at the end of that chapter yesterday made everyone think that I had a lot of manuscripts. To be honest, there are only four chapters in the manuscript now.
That sentence is actually Han Qiaosheng's stalk, and now many people don't know it?
"Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to give you an early greeting!" "Maybe everyone just opened the elevator ......"
