Chapter 379: Only One Goal Is Needed

Although Icardi was high-spirited and wanted to continue to compete with Gao Zheng, but not long after Gao Zheng equalized the score, the first half of the game ended.

Affected by this conceded goal, the Inter Milan players who were off the field didn't have any smiles on their faces.

Tohir on the rostrum seemed to have a normal expression because he was reminded by Moratti.

When Inter fans came to ask him for a photo, he would always do so with a smile on his face.

Some fans asked him loudly during the group photo: "We will win, right, sir?"

Thohir nodded and gave the opponent a firm answer: "Yes, we will win!"

Although he conceded a goal in the first half, he still has confidence in winning the game, after all, this is Inter Milan's home court.

Losing that ball was just a small twist, and it didn't affect the final result.

※※※

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and after a few rounds of commercials, players from both sides reappeared on the field, switching sides and fighting again.

Neither team made substitutions at halftime.

Tactics have not changed from the first half.

Mazzarri must have re-invigorated the team at half-time, so as soon as the second half started, Inter launched a fierce attack on the Sampdoria goal, seemingly hoping to score again in the first few minutes. Goal, lead again.

And Di Francesco has long been prepared for this, arranging for the team to defend firmly, and deal with Inter Milan patiently.

Inter Milan's offense is relatively easy to let go, because they often look for strikers directly, and there is no transition and organization in the midfield.

Just guard the two strikers Alvarez and Icardi.

Although Icardi's performance in this game is not the same as last season, but when shooting, he is still the former teammate familiar to the Sampdoria defenders, and it is not difficult to guard him.

Don't look at the ten minutes since the start of the second half, football is still spinning in Sampdoria's half more often, but the threat to Sampdoria's goal is not great.

fifty-seven minutes,

Sampdoria counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt.

After receiving the ball, Gao Zheng relied on his personal ability to get rid of Inter Milan's defenders in the frontcourt. As a result, he was pulled to the ground by Cambiasso. The referee Russo gave Cambiasso a verbal warning and returned it to Sampdoria. A free kick in the frontcourt.

Although the free kick was about forty meters away from the goal, it was difficult to directly threaten the goal guarded by Handanovic, but it allowed Sampdoria to get rid of the situation that they had been under pressure from Inter Milan before. They finally Can push the ball into the opponent's defensive third.

This is the role of Gao Zheng in the counterattack-even if he can't drive the ball straight to Huanglong and score goals for the team, he can still use his skills to get free kicks for his team in the midfield and let the team take advantage of it. This way to advance.

After Gao Zheng gave the free kick to his teammates for the penalty, he ran to the penalty area.

Central defenders like Alberto Massi also ran up, ready to fight for the top.

After Sampdoria's free kick was taken, Massi did win the ball in the penalty area, but instead of shooting himself, he ferried the football to Gao Zheng nearby.

Gao Zheng used his chest to slightly cushion the ball from Marcy, and then volleyed without waiting for the football to hit the ground!

The football hit the crossbar and popped off the baseline!

There was a loud gasp from the stands at the Stadio San Siro, obviously the Inter fans were terrified by the kick.

"Oh——! Crossbar! It's dangerous! Sampdoria almost overtook the score!" Caresa exclaimed.

"Ahh! Cross beam! Cross beam ruthlessly blocked Gao Zheng's goal!" Liu Hong was filled with regret.

Gao Zheng, who didn't score a goal, shook his head, and then he gave Masi a thumbs up, praising him for his header just now.

As a result, Marcy was more regretful than him, and he looked as if he had just shot the ball on the crossbar with his head in his hands.

※※※

Gao Zheng's kick really scared Inter Milan enough, so when Inter Milan attacked, their offensive was extremely crazy.

Icardi soon followed up with a header in the Sampdoria box, which Romero tipped his finger over the bar.

"Icardi - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Gao just slammed the football on the crossbar and Icardi responded immediately! It is unbelievable that the two of them have ever It's a teammate..." Caresa said with emotion after exclaiming.

"It turns out that Icardi will develop better without Gao, that's the proof," Bergomi said.

In the next corner kick, Icardi also got a chance to shoot, but this time he kicked the football wide and did not threaten Sampdoria's goal.

Gao Zheng's kick on the crossbar seemed to have sounded the alarm for Inter Milan, and then Inter Milan kept pressing Sampdoria to play, wanting to score as soon as possible and take the lead.

Icardi was active and did cause some trouble for Sampdoria.

But still failed to score.

On the other hand, Sampdoria used occasional counterattacks to harass Inter Milan's goal.

The game time passed quickly, and soon came the seventy-fifth minute.

Fifteen minutes before the end of the game, the physical fitness of both sides has also reached a critical point, especially Sampdoria.

They just went away to play a Champions League game three days ago. In addition, the thickness of the bench is not enough, and the players have some physical problems.

Di Francesco had to deploy troops and make substitutions to ensure the running of the team.

In this way, the Sampdoria players on the field still had cramps.

In a defence, Gustadro kicked the football out of the touchline before Icardi. Then he was on the ground clapping the balls of his feet with his hands—he had a cramp.

"Gastadero seems to have a cramp... As the captain of the team, he fought until he was cramp. It is conceivable how much pressure Inter Milan put on them. Now Di Francesco's strategy seems to be to stick to the end of the game , being able to draw with Inter Milan in the away game and score one point is already a victory for Sampdoria... Of course, Inter Milan will definitely not agree. So in the next 15 minutes, the game should tend to be better. It's almost white-hot..." Caresa analyzed.

When teammates went up to help Gastadro press his legs, there were a lot of boos in the stands of the Meazza Stadium.

Inter Milan fans must think that Sampdoria is using this opportunity to delay time, and it is hard to say whether Gastadro has cramps.

Since Sampdoria equalized the score, Inter Milan has been attacking fiercely, but has been unable to score goals, and the patience of the fans is also disappearing a little bit. Before, they had a relaxed attitude and were full of confidence in the team. They firmly believed that no matter what twists and turns they encountered in the middle, the final victory would definitely belong to Inter Milan.

But now, with fifteen minutes left in the game and the score was still 1:1, many people were not so calm.

Taking advantage of Gastadro's cramp, the TV broadcast gave a close-up shot of Thorhir on the podium.

At the beginning of the game, he was still very focused. The wealthy Indonesian businessman who often reacted to the game on the field was sitting quietly on the chair at this time. He lowered his eyes to look at the watch on his wrist. It is really easy to misunderstand. thought he was asleep...

The game during this period was indeed not exciting. Facing Sampdoria's intensive defense, Inter Milan had nothing to do. The game was neither intense nor exciting. No wonder the new boss was a little bored.

"Prior to this, Inter Milan has won two consecutive victories at their home court. As long as they win this game, it will be a three-game winning streak at home, and they can temporarily squeeze into the third place in the league standings. Welcome with a victory. New owner, this is a fantastic celebration... Fifteen minutes left, Inter need to be more patient, they only need one goal..."
