Prominence in Football Community

Originally, Ajax hoped to score in the first half, but because of Gao Zheng's constant harassment, Ajax's so-called "full attack" never came true.

Until the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.

This score basically declared the failure of Franco De Boer's set of tactics.

But it cannot be said that Ajax will lose this game, because there are still forty-five minutes.

Football is round and anything can happen. If Sampdoria relaxes their vigilance in the second half and thinks that they have a greater advantage, they may end up being taught by Ajax.

This point was repeatedly emphasized to his players by Sampdoria coach Di Francesco during the intermission.

The more you feel safe, the more you have to think about danger, otherwise danger will bury you.

Meanwhile, in the visitors' dressing room, Franco De Boer was giving his players a pep talk.

"...There are still forty-five minutes! The game is not over yet, there is still time and opportunity, as long as we don't give up hope, hope will not give up on us! Remember, your career will encounter many times like this Crisis, but as long as you can keep calm, you will find that those crises are just small hills..."

As a well-known former professional player with rich experience, Franco De Boer's career is successful. He is the first player to play more than 100 times for the Dutch national team. To the Champions League. Such a head coach with an extremely brilliant career, when he said these words in a relaxed and confident tone, many professional players can't help but choose to trust their head coach, because their head coach has nothing to say. seen?

De Boer's remarks brought confidence to the team. In the second half, they will continue to attack and strive to take the lead.

And they believe that as long as they can take the lead, it will definitely disrupt Sampdoria's rhythm and cause the opponent to fall into chaos.

At that time, they can still fish in troubled waters and strive for another...

With this confidence, Ajax's players returned to the field once again.

After the start of the second half, neither side made any substitutions.

But Ajax's plan to continue to press Sampdoria collapsed just ten minutes into the second half.

At that time, Sampdoria played a quick counterattack,

From the right Luther Silvestri passed the ball to Berardi in the front half of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Berardi made a gesture to break directly into the penalty area from the ribs. After deceiving the Ajax defender to take a step back, he swept the football with his right foot to the center.

There, at the top of the free throw arc, Gao Zheng, who was plugged in behind, caught up with striding meteors, and then he didn't make any adjustments during the run, and just swung his feet and shot!

The football drew an obvious arc, bypassing goalkeeper Cillessen's ten fingers, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Without any surprise, the football flew into the goal.

"Gao——oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!" Caresa yelled when Gao Zheng shot, and when the football flew into the goal, he dragged his voice and changed Gao Zheng's name into Gao Zheng's exclusive goal. noun.

The entire Marathi Stadium is also shouting the same words in unison at this moment: "gaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!!"

Amidst the shouts, Gao Zheng, who scored the goal, opened his arms and ran towards Berardi who assisted him. The two embraced tightly at the front of the Ajax penalty area.

"Gao Zheng! Beautiful! A clean goal! This goal opened the door for Sampdoria to the top 16 of the Champions League! Under such circumstances, Ajax in the away game had to score two goals— —Even if they chase to a tie, Sampdoria will still qualify!" He Ping was very happy. In the face of Ajax's rapid offensive, Gao Zheng's goal gave everyone a reassurance.

Just look at how much DiFrancisco grinned as he high-fived his colleagues on the dugout.

Franco de Boer, on the other hand, was livid.

All his tactical arrangements are based on his team's first goal, but now that he can't attack, he has allowed Sampdoria to take the lead.

How will you play the next game?

Although it is said that only two goals are needed to regain the initiative.

But the question is are these two goals so easy to score?

Ajax attacked with all their strength before, but failed to score a goal and conceded a goal instead.

Next, I still want to score two goals. How can I ensure that my defense will not concede again?

Maybe before they scored, Sampdoria scored again, and the game would be completely over.

Franco De Boer put his hands in his pockets, facing such a situation, he was really at a loss.

※※※

As soon as Gao Zheng scored a goal, the tense atmosphere over the heads of every Sampdoria fan and Gao Zheng fan was swept away, and the fans in the stands smiled more.

The Sampdoria players on the field also relaxed because of this.

Relaxed mind and relaxed mind are completely different.

If you relax, you may be reversed and killed by the opponent. If something unexpected happens during the game, it will be difficult for the relaxed team to regain tension, and then there will be no way to recover.

Relaxing mentality is another matter. The players don't feel anxious during the game, just like playing a training game on the training ground. This will help everyone to perform at their usual level—in fact, the highest level of professional players is definitely during training. In the game, affected and restricted by various factors, their performance level is not as good as training.

At this time, players with excellent psychological quality and rich experience are often able to make their performance as close to the training level as possible.

And those young players with poor mental quality are prone to malfunction.

The current Sampdoria players are very relaxed and play with ease. Facing Ajax, they can attack and defend.

Ajax became more and more anxious as they kicked.

They knew very well what the current score would lead to.

If they can't equalize the score as soon as possible, as time goes by, the result of qualifying will only get further and further away from them.

But they just can't attack with all their strength...

The game time passed quickly in this rhythm of Ajax's indiscriminate bombardment for a while, and then being beaten back by Sampdoria's counterattack.

In a blink of an eye, the game came to the last moment.

There was only one stoppage time left before the end of the game.

Ajax's offensive is no longer fierce, and the singing of Sampdoria fans in the stands resounds through the sky.

Everyone knows that they are only four minutes away from the knockout stage of the Champions League.

In these four minutes, it is almost impossible for Ajax to score two goals in a row and overtake the score.

The result of the game has actually been decided, and it is impossible for any accidents to happen again.

"Sampdoria are only three minutes away from reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League again... all the Sampdoria fans have no seats in the stands, and the Sampdoria substitutes and coaches are also standing. On the sidelines, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the end of the game... This is really an exciting moment. The last time Sampdoria entered the final of the Champions League for the first time, I am afraid that no one could Thinking that this team will have to wait so many years to return to the Champions League stage, and they have come back again, and they have entered the knockout round again!" Although the game is not over yet, Carreza can't wait to start announcing the news up.

In fact, he was right to say that, because just a few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Sampdoria players and coaches who had been waiting for a long time on the sidelines all rushed onto the field, hugging and celebrating with their teammates.

Marathi Stadium has become a sea of ​​joy.
