Prominence in Football Community

When Gao Zheng swung his kick in the crowd, some of the Cagliari fans in the stands wanted to scream, but they opened their mouths, but they couldn’t make a sound. They could only watch the football dodge Goalkeeper Aghazi, hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal.

It was like being in a silent horror nightmare.

Until the football flew into the goal, the Cagliari fans still did not make a sound.

They don't know what sound to make.

Even the goal in the 91st minute couldn't kill the game, they were really speechless.

"Gao Zheng! Gao Zheng!!" Liu Hong raised his arms happily and shouted. "Gao Zheng took the first shot! This is his fifth league goal this season! Sampdoria tied the score again with this goal in the 93rd minute! At this moment, the game is still far away. There are more than twenty seconds left!"

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng turned around and ran towards the corner flag area, shaking his fingers while running, telling those Cagliari fans that you are too happy!

The other Sampdoria players rushed to Gao Zheng, hugged him, pushed him to the ground, and pressed him.

Celebrating right under the noses of the Cagliari fans.

At this time, it is really possible for them to end the game directly in the celebration.

Not to mention the Sampdoria players on the field, even the off-field Sampdoria substitute players and head coach Di Francesco rushed to Gao Zheng to celebrate with him.

The Cagliari players watched this scene dumbfounded, and no one went up to remind the referee not to let Sampdoria's celebration be too rampant.

The game time of more than 20 seconds has long passed. Unlike basketball, the football game will stop the clock to make up time. Even if the game is interrupted during the football game,

The game time will continue to flow, and this is the concept of "injury time".

While the Sampdoria players were wildly celebrating this goal, the game time had reached 94 minutes and 30 seconds.

After some carnival, the Sampdoria players returned to their stadium.

The referee did not blow the whistle to end the game, so the game had to continue.

The Cagliari fans in the stands finally regained some anger and began to cheer for their team.

I hope the team can beat Sampdoria again.

Although Sampdoria scored a goal, there were only 20 seconds left before the end of the game, but Sampdoria celebrated for a minute. If this time is added, there is still hope for one and a half minutes. scored a goal.

However, the referee obviously did not intend to add this time to the injury time.

Just over twenty seconds after Cagliari kicked the football out, the whistle for the end of the game was blown.

"The game is over! Sampdoria escaped from death in the away game. With the goals of Berardi and Gao, they tied their opponents and scored a point!"

"It's really not easy... This is the price of a large number of random changes." Bergomi commented. "But there is no way. With the thickness of Sampdoria's bench, they are not qualified to fight on multiple fronts. They have to make a choice. Di Francesco should go all out in the Champions League, and the league can be sacrificed depending on the situation. I don’t know if it’s right to do this, because it’s impossible for Sampdoria to win the Champions League if you put so much energy into the Champions League. Downgrade."

Bergomi said this after Sampdoria had just managed to draw with Cagliari, which certainly did not please Sampdoria fans, but as a neutral commentator, it was very reasonable for him to do so.

What he said is also true.

For Sampdoria, it is impossible to expect a double harvest in the Champions League and domestic league.

He believes that Sampdoria, which has learned from the past, should abandon the fantasy of the Champions League and play well in the league. It is already remarkable that this Champions League can reach the group stage. If they can play well in the league, strive to qualify for the Champions League next season, and participate in the Champions League for two consecutive years, it will be a good reinforcement for the team's finances and can introduce more capable players. The existing players have been trained and accumulated experience in the Champions League. This is a sustainable development path.

Based on this idea, he didn't quite approve of Di Francesco's approach.

Perhaps it was the victory in the first Champions League group stage that gave Di Francesco an unrealistic vision of the Champions League?

※※※

In the post-match press conference, Di Francesco denied speculation that he would give up the league and focus on the Champions League: "We didn't give up a certain event. But after just playing a fierce game, we adopted a rotation policy to protect the players. Physically, I think this is normal operation."

But the media didn't believe his words.

And then there will be a chance to prove whether he is telling the truth-the last game of the league before the next Champions League group stage is the sixth round, and Sampdoria will challenge AC Milan away.

After this game, they will fly to Amsterdam, the Netherlands to challenge Ajax.

If Di Francesco really gave up the league and focused on the Champions League, then he will definitely use the same substantial rotation in the game against AC Milan as he did against Cagliari.

But in this way, there should be no suspense for Sampdoria's away loss to AC Milan...

It's just... Can Gao Zheng accept this result?

Everyone knows the grievances between him and AC Milan. Although he always said that AC Milan has a special status in his mind, everyone has now fully understood that the so-called special status means that he wants to kill him every time he meets. special status.

So if Di Francesco gave up the game against AC Milan in order to protect the Champions League, would Gao Zheng accept it?

If he can't accept it, will he and Di Francesco have conflicts?

The discord between the team coach and the main core is a devastating blow to Sampdoria!

Thinking of this, those who watched Gao Zheng and Sampdoria's displeasure were ecstatic, and they were waiting to see a good show.

As a result, what they didn't expect was that in the fifth round of the league, in the match between Sampdoria and Rome, Di Francesco continued to use the lineup from the previous game against Cagliari.

In other words, Di Francesco did not let the main players who had already rested in the game against Cagliari reappear, but continued to let them rest.

why is that?

After the Rome match, there was no match in the middle of the week, and the next match will be next Saturday. There is no need to save energy for this in advance. A qualified professional player still has the stamina to play twice a week.

Why is it necessary to rotate the main players in this game?

Sampdoria, which had rotated most of the main players, finally lost 0:2 to Roma in this game without any suspense.

Di Francisco spread his hands to a group of reporters who did not understand at the post-match press conference: "...for us, there are two important games, one is the league and the other is the Champions League. This is nothing but It’s just preparing for these two games in advance.”

Only then did the media reporters understand that Di Francesco sacrificed the league match against Rome to ensure that Sampdoria could have the strongest team in the league match against AC Milan.

It's not that he really doesn't sacrifice the league, he just doesn't sacrifice the league against AC Milan...

This answer disappointed the reporters, because they were expecting to see a scene of discord among the generals within the team, but it didn't happen.
