Shortly after the start of the second half, in the 60th minute, Di Francesco replaced Gao Zheng with Pozzi.

Replacing Gao Zheng so early in advance is obviously to prepare for the next Champions League away game against Barcelona.

No one thinks that replacing Gao Zheng and Sampdoria will lose the game.

After all, Sampdoria is now leading Sassuolo by four goals, and judging from the fifteen minutes of the second half, Sassuolo has completely lost the ability to counterattack, and the players have no fighting spirit. This first half hit them hard.

It was also after fifteen minutes of observation that Di Francesco made the decision to replace Gao Zheng so early.

Sure enough, without Gao Zheng, Sampdoria was not at a disadvantage and still suppressed Sassuolo.

Then Di Francesco replaced Obiang and Berardi successively, enough for three substitutions, and tried to allow the players to get more rest time.

After all, the next game against Barcelona will be very difficult. Di Francesco hopes that his team can maintain a good state as much as possible.

In fact, Giovanetti really did him a favor this time. If Giovanetti hadn't been so provocative before the game, he really didn't know that Gao Zheng could help the team score four goals in the first half, ending the suspense of the game 45 minutes early...

Although he can only replace three players, the players who stay on the field don't have to work so hard. They can slow down and deal with their opponents slowly without expending too much energy.

Compared with the passionate first half, the second half will be much duller.

Neither side scored another goal.

The score of this game was fixed in the first half.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Sassuolo 4:0 at home.

The "battle of revenge" that Sassuolo fans were looking forward to did not come true. Instead, there were new enemies. Now they can only look forward to returning to the home court in the second half of the season and using the home court advantage to avenge Sampdoria and Gao Zheng.

After the game, Gao Zheng said in an interview: "I hope to use practical actions to help purify the order of the arena. Of course, I also know that such things will not disappear so easily. But it doesn't matter. If I meet again in the future, the unlucky one will only A provocative person. Meet once, hit once."

He said it very rudely, but no one would accuse him of arrogance and rudeness.

This is the legitimate defense of an insulted person.

After the game, Gao Zheng rounded his arms and slapped his face in celebration, which appeared in the eye-catching positions of major media, and the video of his torrential three goals was also spread on the Internet.

Everyone expressed their opinions on this matter one after another. The happiest ones are Chinese students studying abroad, Chinese and overseas Chinese, and even some Japanese and Koreans...

"The reason why Gao Zheng can become our unconditional support idol is because his actions never let you down! When someone came out to provoke and insult our motherland, he stood up bravely. When someone racially discriminates, It was him who stepped up! He is just a football player, yes, but he has done so much more than he is!"

"I went shopping today, and someone suddenly asked me if I was Chinese. After I told him, he gave me a thumbs up. He told me that Gao Zheng's performance in the game was really good. When others insult you This is the best way to shut up the other party! I am proud and proud of Gao Zheng!"

"... Gao did a great job! He is not only for the Chinese, but also for all East Asians! I am Japanese, and I have encountered such discrimination in my daily life. After this game, I'm glad that someone who once made a nasty joke at me with this gesture came to apologize to me, this is the power of example. Let's say no to racism together!"

"Gao is a responsible player. He showed us how to correctly say no to those racism! The hat-trick made his words particularly powerful. I think I want to use Gao's nationality and race from now on. Those who come to provoke trouble, I'm afraid they have to think carefully, whether they can bear Gao's anger!"

Italian national TV gave Leonardo Giovanetti the latest award after the game

"Golden Tapir Award".

This award is dedicated to those frustrated people in Italian sports, including players with poor performance, coaches with poor performance, controversial club presidents...

At first, this award was to satirize the shameful incidents of some sports people. Later, this award was not only satirical, but also black humor. But the main function of irony remains the same.

But not everyone will take this ironic and mocking surprise award lightly.

Giovanetti did not accept the award.

The staff of Italian national television came to the door, but they were rejected.

So they insisted on giving the award to Giovanetti in the absence of the recipient, and finally left the Golden Tapir trophy at the door of Giovanetti's house and left.

In China, the Weibo of "Xu Jiang Stories Collection" was once again circulated by netizens, but "Xu Jiang Stories Collection" did not come forward to make any response, and became a coward.

The big victory against Sassuolo made Sampdoria's situation in the league much better.

With the victory of this game, their league ranking jumped from eleventh to seventh.

Although this ranking is not very high, after all, they have not even entered the European theater, but it can allow Sampdoria to divert more energy to use in the Champions League, and strive for the right to qualify for the group.

The current situation in the Champions League group is that Sampdoria ranks second, but this ranking is not stable. They are only two points ahead of the third-placed Celtics, and there are three rounds of group matches to come. If they are not careful, they may still be squeezed out.

In the next fourth round of the group stage, Sampdoria challenged Barcelona away, and it was almost impossible to win. And if they lose the game and Celtic can beat Ajax, then Sampdoria's second place in the group stage will be gone.

If Sampdoria want to progress from this group, they will have to beat Ajax and Celtic in the last two group games.

At that time, it will be crucial not to hold them back in the league.

When Gao Zheng stepped into the Nou Camp Stadium for the first time, he was indeed shocked by the Barcelona team logo spelled out of pieces of cardboard in the stands.

This kind of scene has never been seen even in San Siro and Juventus Arena.

Especially when this scene appears in front of your eyes, and there are more than 80,000 Barcelona fans singing the Barcelona team anthem.

The three "Barca, Barcelona, ​​Barcelona" were basically shouted out by more than 80,000 people in unison.

Very shocking indeed.

This is the home atmosphere of the world's top giants.

Even Gao Zheng was shocked, not to mention the other Sampdoria players.

In this game, Barcelona held their breath and wanted to avenge their shame at home-in the last game, when everyone was optimistic that they could win, they were tied by Sampdoria and lost two points. This made Barcelona unable to swallow this breath anyway.

Back at home, of course they have to vent all their anger on their opponents.

And in this game, Di Francesco's task for the team is to stick to it-basically no counterattacks, just laying the bus.

Although Gao Zheng played, his role was to hold the ball in front to delay time. Although he was setting up the bus, he couldn't let the opponent turn the game into a half-court offense and defense.

When Gao Zheng has the ball, no one will support him. If he wants to attack, he has to do it himself.

Di Francesco hopes to keep an o:o tie in the away game by placing the bus.

But Sampdoria's persistence lasted only twenty minutes.

Neymar fell in the penalty area in the 20th minute and the referee awarded Barcelona a penalty.

Messi made a penalty kick to break the deadlock.

Sampdoria's plan to set up a bus to keep an o:o has been completely ruined...
