Chapter 357 Steal Messi's limelight

Gao Zheng's goal set off a storm in the Marasi Stadium.

Even if the game has resumed, everyone's thoughts are still on that goal.

Fans discussed the goal over and over again, and there have been many GIF animations and small videos of Gao Zheng's goal scoring process on the Internet.

If there were still many ordinary European fans who did not understand Gao Zheng before, then after this game, with the spread of this goal video, I believe that ordinary European fans will soon know that Sampdoria has such a goal. Tall player with great footwork.

Then they will know that the young man who single-handedly won the entire Barcelona defense is called "Gao Zheng" and is a Chinese player.

Although there is still time left for Barcelona to do something else.

However, Sampdoria, which has recovered across the board, united as one, and did not allow Barcelona to kill them again.

Despite as many as five minutes of stoppage time, Sampdoria's defense did not collapse.

Amidst the boos of the Sampdoria fans, Barcelona's attacks failed several times.

Blüsch finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"The game is over!" Carreza raised his arms and shouted, "The game is over! Sampdoria drew Barcelona 2:2 at home! This is an amazing game! The strength is at a disadvantage, and people were not optimistic before the game , In the case of a controversial penalty in the game, Sampdoria still tenaciously drew with the mighty Barcelona! Gao scored a very exciting goal in the game, and also had a key assist... Such He did enough to make him the player of the match!"

What He Ping said was even more exaggerated: "In the duel with Messi, Gao Zheng had the last laugh! Although both of them scored a goal and an assist, they can help Sampdoria, which is weaker than Barcelona, ​​draw their opponents. It is enough to show Gao Zheng's ability! This is the first time our players have confronted the world's top players, and the process and results of the confrontation show that Gao Zheng is not bad!"

This is directly comparing Gao Zheng to Messi's level.

This kind of comparison will definitely lead to a lot of scolding such as "overreaching one's abilities", but at this time, no one cares about this kind of statement. Besides, from this game alone, Gao Zheng really does not lose to Messi.

The TV broadcast is also very clear about this. The protagonist of this game should have been Messi, but now it has become Gao Zheng.

A young man can steal the limelight from Messi's hands, which is enough to attract the attention of the media.

As soon as the game was over, the close-up shot was on Gao Zheng.

He and his teammates were celebrating the victory-like draw.

But he didn't go to any Barcelona players to exchange jerseys.

In the past, Messi's jersey was always the most sought-after after the game between Barcelona and other teams. It even happened that the opponent player was unable to exchange jerseys with Messi at the end of the game. To swap jerseys with Messi.

But this time, none of the Sampdoria players ran to Barcelona players to exchange jerseys, including Messi.

The lost Barcelona players showed a confused look on the court, feeling a little unbelievable why they didn't win the game.

Messi lowered his head and walked quickly back to the player channel.

It seems that the Barcelona players did not draw with Sampdoria away, but lost to Sampdoria...

After celebrating with his teammates, Gao Zheng was dragged to the interview area by the reporters.

"I'm happy that we got a point in the end. Even though it's only one point, it's good for our team. Barcelona are a very strong team, almost unbeatable, so I'm very happy that we To be able to take points from such a strong opponent."

Gao Zheng's remarks sounded like he praised Barcelona, ​​but I believe that Barcelona's supporters would not be happy at all after hearing it.

Some people even think that Gao Zheng's behavior is to "get cheap and act good".

A reporter asked Gao Zheng what was going on in his mind when he scored that wonderful goal.

"I didn't think about anything, or I didn't bother to think about it at all. I just wanted to avoid the opponents who were in front of me and put the football in. It was as simple as that."

"Will the team consider qualifying for the group now?"

"If possible, why not?"

When Gao Zheng answered in this way, no one would feel that Gao Zheng was arrogant and Sampdoria was overreaching.

You must know that before Sampdoria's first Champions League group match, when Gao Zheng said that the goal at home was to win, he was scolded for being arrogant and arrogant, and he had never seen the world.

But now that Sampdoria has proved that they have such strength with their actual performance, it is not such an incredible goal to qualify for the group.

The other group match of this group has also been played. The Celtics defeated Ajax 2:1 at home. fourth.

Barcelona remain at the top of the table with seven points, while Sampdoria is second with five points.

They do have a chance to qualify from this group.

Now laughing at Sampdoria's group qualifying goal, what if you get slapped in the face in the end?

Experienced Italian journalists are not eager to show their attitude at this moment. They still remember what happened last season when they laughed at Gao Zheng for pre-booking the Golden Boot... That is really a sad story.

Sampdoria's 2:2 draw with Barcelona at home was unexpected.

In this round of the group stage, the results of the three Italian teams happened to be one win, one draw and one loss. Napoli beat Marseille 2-1 away, Sampdoria drew Barcelona 2-2 at home and Juventus, the Serie A champions, lost 2-1 away to Real Madrid.

After three rounds of the group stage, Naples with six points is the best situation among the Serie A teams, while Juventus, which has not won a game, is the most critical situation to qualify.

This is really unexpected before the start of the Champions League group stage.

Gao Zheng's goal in the game spread throughout Europe through the Internet, and more and more people knew about him and got to know him.

Of course, some transfer rumors also came from this.

It is said that Real Madrid is already investigating Gao Zheng and wants to take him to the Bernabeu after the end of this season.

Some media said that Juventus was dissatisfied with the team's performance in the Champions League, and they also hoped to take Gao Zheng to Turin.

Because Gao Zheng's performance in the Champions League has proved his strength, there is no problem at all in the Champions League. Juventus hopes to use this to make a breakthrough in the Champions League.

But that will have to wait until next season.

After the Champions League and Barcelona group stage, although Sampdoria went to a draw and scored a precious point, it also paid a huge price.

In the next league match with Atlanta, Di Francesco almost replaced the entire starting lineup. It can be seen that Sampdoria can be regarded as a serious injury against Barcelona.

In the end, Sampdoria, who played all off the bench, lost 0:1 to Atlanta.

After the defeat of this game, Sampdoria's ranking dropped to eleventh. After nine league rounds, they only accumulated eleven points and their goal difference was negative.

This is really a big difference from the performance in the same period last season.

But Sampdoria fans and Genoa media basically did not blame and criticize the team.

After all, the team still has the Champions League to play this season.

The team performed well in the Champions League, so it is natural to sacrifice the league for this.

As long as a breakthrough can be made in the Champions League, not relegation in the league is the bottom line for Sampdoria fans.
