Prominence in Football Community

Regarding Sampdoria's main force and eliminated Rome 2:1 in the away game, there are different opinions after the game, and everyone's opinions are not consistent.

Even among Sampdoria supporters, some felt that Di Francesco's choice was unwise.

So after winning the ball this time, it wasn't overwhelming applause.

Some fans expressed their concerns through the Internet, and many people echoed and agreed.

These people have the same point of view, that is, it is a waste that Sampdoria devotes its energy to the Coppa Italia.

also increased risk.

The Coppa Italia cannot be staggered well with the Champions League and the league. When the two sides conflict, who should give up and who should be protected?

If you want to give up the Coppa Italia, but if it is very close to the final at that time, is it a pity to give up? Give up when the time comes, why not give up cleanly now?

Anyway, many people can't figure out why Sampdoria is so tough in the Coppa Italia this time.

After the game, a reporter also interviewed Di Francesco on this question, and Di Francesco asked back: "Isn't victory something to be happy and celebrated?"

The reporter choked on one sentence and didn't know what to say.

Of course, not everyone can understand why Sampdoria did this.

Even people who recognize Sampdoria still account for the majority.

As Di Francesco said, winning is always a good thing. Who doesn't like winning?

As for what happened in the end, that will have to wait until later.

Moreover, even if you want to give up the Coppa Italia, you can't do it too naked. In any case, the Coppa Italia is an event organized by the Italian Football Association, and it is always necessary to give the Football Association face.

It’s okay for you to use the substitute lineup for the youth team in the first few rounds of the cup to deal with it casually. It’s already reached the top 16, and it’s too perfunctory to justify it.

Although everyone knows in their hearts that the Coppa Italia cannot be compared with the league, some things have to be done in a secretive way.

If it's too obvious, it won't work.

So Sampdoria's approach is no problem,

And now that the Champions League knockout round has not yet started, there is no need to give up the Coppa Italia in order to save energy and avoid multi-line battles-in fact, what Sampdoria is doing now is very normal, but it is because they gave up the Coppa Italia in the first place. It's too obvious, which is why everyone is surprised now.

And don't look at Sampdoria breaking through the barrier of Rome, but in fact they are likely to stop here in this season's Italian Cup.

Because after the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia were released, the results of the draw told everyone that Sampdoria's opponent in the next round is Juventus, which is now ranked first in the league.

That's not an easy opponent to deal with.

※※※

After finishing the Coppa Italia with Rome, Sampdoria ushered in a game against Udinese at home. They continued the starting lineup of the previous game and Rome.

In the end, Sampdoria, still playing with all the main players, beat Udinese 3:0 at home.

And then Sampdoria will usher in two consecutive games with Juventus.

In the twentieth round of the league, they challenged Juventus away, followed by the Coppa Italia quarter-finals against Juventus at home.

The opponents in these two games are the same, but the attitude of Sampdoria is completely different.

In fact, in the game against Udinese at home, you can see what Di Francesco's idea is - against Roma and Udinese, for two consecutive games, Sampdoria played with all the main players, It is impossible to play Juventus in the league with all the main players, right?

This is an away game, even if the main players want to win it is not easy-in the first round of the league, Sampdoria lost 0:1 to Juventus at home-the defeat of this league can even be said to be planned of.

Therefore, in the twentieth round of the league match against Juventus, Sampdoria only played half of the main players and adjusted the rotation of the lineup.

The reason why it is not all substitutes is because Di Francesco hopes to use this game to train the team and prepare for the next Coppa Italia.

So although the lineup is not the strongest, everyone is still very serious, and they don't feel that this game can be lost.

If you must lose in the end, it is because your skills are not as good as yours after trying your best.

Gao Zheng didn't start the game, but sat on the bench.

This disappointed the Chinese fans who had been watching his game wholeheartedly.

Just eighteen minutes into the first half, Juventus' Chilean midfielder Vidal gave the team the lead and helped Juventus lead 1:0.

Six minutes later, Juventus' Spanish center Llorente extended the lead for the team, and Juventus led Sampdoria 2:0.

Regardless of conceding two goals in a short period of time, Sampdoria was still very tenacious. They did not completely collapse just because they conceded two goals in six minutes.

In the 38th minute, Sampdoria launched a successful attack, forcing Juventus centre-back Barzagli to make a mistake and score an own goal.

The score became 2:1. Although it is still behind, it feels completely different.

Before the end of the first half, Vidal scored twice to extend Juventus' lead to two goals again.

At the beginning of the second half, Di Francesco replaced Gao Zheng, not necessarily because he wanted the team to win Juventus in the away game, but because he wanted to get the lineup in order and let Gao Zheng find his way.

However, the effect of Gao Zheng's appearance was immediate.

In the 69th minute, Gao Zheng received an assist from his teammates and shot in front of the goal to get Sampdoria back a goal.

It was his thirteenth league goal of the season, just one behind Fiorentina striker Giuseppe Rossi on the top scorer list.

After Gao Zheng's goal, Sampdoria and Juventus played impressively.

Perhaps because of a more relaxed mentality, Sampdoria simply played against the opponent at Juventus' home court when they were only one goal behind Juventus.

Di Francesco also used up all three substitutions early on, leaving nothing for himself.

This game is to trust the horse and let the players play, see what they can play in the end, and prepare and pave the way for the next second match against Juventus.

Gao Zheng scored the goal in the 69th minute. In the remaining 20 minutes or so, the two sides fought lively and exciting scenes.

In such an open game, in the 78th minute, when Juventus' home player Pogba received a pass from Vidal, he shot a cold arrow and broke through Sampdoria's goal again with a long shot.

The score was rewritten to 4:2, with Juventus leading at home.

However, this conceded goal did not affect the morale and fighting spirit of the Sampdoria players.

In the next ten minutes of the game, they continued to attack unremittingly, as if the gap between the two goals did not affect them at all.

This also made the Juventus players who thought they had won a bit nervous. Even though they had already led by two goals, they still did not dare to relax in the last ten minutes of the game.

In the end, Sampdoria lost 2:4 after an away game against Juventus.

No one would be surprised to lose this game even if they lost.
