With the current situation in Group H of the Champions League, Sampdoria does not need to be distracted to pay attention to the game between Barcelona and Celtic. They have firmly grasped the fate of qualifying in their own hands. The situation is very simple: as long as they If they can beat Ajax at home, or draw with Ajax, they can qualify for the group stage.

Of course, if the Celtics beat Barcelona away and Sampdoria wins Ajax, they can still get the first place in the group.

However, this theoretical possibility has little planning value.

Another Italian team with a very simple situation is Juventus.

Although the group stage started unfavorably, they failed to win the two weaker opponents, but with the draw at home to Real Madrid and the victory over Copenhagen at home, the points also reached six points. Galatasaray, which has four points, talks directly. As long as they can beat Galatasaray, they can qualify from this group, regardless of the result of another game.

Of course, considering that the other game is Real Madrid's away game against Copenhagen, there is almost no suspense for Real Madrid to win this game, so as long as Juventus can draw away with Galatasaray, they can also advance to the knockout round.

However, the qualifying situation of another team, the Italian team, is not so clear.

Naples in Group F should have been the Italian team with the best situation. But this group is just too "dead".

Before the fifth round of the group stage, Naples ranked first in the group with nine points. As long as they do not lose to Dortmund in the fifth round of the group stage, the situation of qualifying for the group will be very clear-they will score ten points if they tie with Dortmund, while Dortmund is seven Even if they lose to Arsenal in the last round and Dortmund wins Marseille, the two teams have the same points, but Naples will still squeeze out Dortmund by virtue of the advantage in the relationship between victory and defeat.

As a result, in this game, Naples lost to Dortmund 1:3 away!

It was this game that laid the root of the current chaotic situation in the death group, and Naples' originally clear qualifying situation suddenly became uncertain. However, Dortmund, who had only six points with two wins and two losses before, suddenly had hope of qualifying.

There is still the last round of the group stage. Arsenal ranks first in the group with 12 points, but they are not guaranteed to qualify. They may not even qualify in the end-as long as they lose to Naples in the last round by a big away score, and Dortmund defeated Marseille, and the three teams scored 12 points. In the goal difference comparison of the three teams, Arsenal will rank third because of the goal difference disadvantage, and thus miss the Champions League knockout round.

According to the rules of the UEFA Champions League, in the case of the same score, the relationship between the winners and losers is compared.

Compare the goal difference of each other's games in the case of mutual win-loss relationship.

If there are three teams with the same score of 12 points after the last round, we have to compare the mutual win-loss relationship, and the mutual win-loss relationship is the same for everyone. When playing against the other two teams, they are all the same. Two wins and two losses. In this way, it is necessary to compare the goal difference of the three teams during the cycle.

Arsenal currently has a goal difference of two and ranks first. Dortmund has a goal difference and temporarily ranks second in the three-team cycle. Naples has a goal difference of three, and the situation is the most dangerous.

For the first time in the Champions League, three teams may accumulate twelve points, but one team will not be able to appear. No matter which team is finally eliminated, it will create the record for the eliminated team with the most points.

Since the implementation of winter time in Italy, the kick-off time of the Champions League has been postponed to 8:45 in the evening, and Beijing time is 3:45 in the morning. After watching the game at this time, it basically means going to work Fans can hardly sleep anymore, and poor rest will directly affect the efficiency of work and study during the day.

Even so, there are still many Chinese fans who choose to stay in front of the TV or computer to watch the live broadcast of this game.

He Ping is obviously aware of this, so at the beginning of the live broadcast, he extended his greetings and respect to the domestic fans: "Our fans are the best fans in the world, so everyone must have a good rest. Don't wear yourself out from watching the game. In fact, everyone can go to sleep early and set an alarm clock to get up again, which is better than staying up until this time..."

That's what Feng Shiyao did.

Although she has been confirmed to participate in the draft, she does not intend to resign at this point. She intends to ask the company for leave first. If the company does not grant leave, it will not be too late to resign at that time.

So she still has to go to work honestly during the day.

She yawned and squeezed out some tears. Feng Shiyao rubbed her eyes. The game was about to start. She pulled herself together and waited to cheer Gao Zheng on.

In fact, she is not a fan. Even after watching so many games with everyone, she has not become a fanatic like Xiao Yingying. If Gao Zheng didn't play, she would definitely not pay attention to the Sampdoria game.

So she watched the Sampdoria game just to watch Gao Zheng.

Why watch Gao Zheng's game?

Perhaps it is because she wants to draw courage from this young man. Every time she sees his outstanding performance, Feng Shiyao seems to see a shining example in front of her, illuminating the dark night and the unevenness under her feet. road.

For Chinese fans, Gao Zheng is the hero who saved Chinese football. But for Feng Shiyao, Gao Zheng is also a hero, but what he saved was not Chinese football, but her dream.

In fact, in this audition, many singers are expected to choose to cover existing songs, and Feng Shiyao plans to sing original songs written and composed by himself, and almost all of these songs are inspired by Gao Zheng.

The Marasi Stadium, which can accommodate 36,000 people, was full of seats, and the Sampdoria fans covered the entire stadium stands with blue and white, which looked like a surging sea from a distance.

The shouts and songs of these fans are the sound of the waves of the sea.

Gao Zheng stood inside the middle circle, stepping on a football, ready to kick off.

This is Sampdoria's last Champions League group match of the season. Whether there will be another Champions League game to play in the future depends on this game.

The referee on duty for this game is England's famous post Howard Webber. He once enforced the Champions League final at the Bernabeu in 2010. It was after that game that Mourinho's Inter Milan became the first player in the history of Italian football. A Triple Crown team.

At the same time, Weber also enforced the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In the final, Spain defeated the Netherlands and became the new World Cup champion.

Before the game, the Genoa media hoped that this event would bring good luck to Sampdoria, which is also an Italian team. After all, Ajax is from the Netherlands and is a symbol of Dutch football.

The time before the kick-off seemed extremely long, and everyone could hardly hide their inner anxiety and anticipation.

Weber raised his wrist and looked at his watch to confirm the time.

At this moment, the Marathi Stadium suddenly fell silent.

It was in this silence that Weber suddenly blew the whistle for the start of the game. The crisp whistle sounded over the court, very abruptly, as if the drums of war had hammered the hearts of the soldiers.

Almost at the same time, Gao Zheng gently rubbed the football he was stepping on, and Berardi turned around and kicked the football back.

"Game start!"
