Prominence in Football Community

"GAO! GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!" After the football entered the goal of Atlético de Madrid, Careza froze for a moment and then shouted. "Twelve minutes into the game, Sampdoria took the lead! Goal from Gao! It wasn't a good chance, but Gao took it by surprise! Atlético Madrid's defense didn't have anyone reacting come over!"

"Gao Zheng! Good shot! A beautiful turn and shot! It is not uncommon to turn and shoot, but Gao Zheng can press the football firmly to the ground without hitting it while turning such a big body, which reflects his skills. ...I think this is what we Chinese fans want to see most when we stay up late to watch the UEFA Champions League live broadcast!" He Ping was equally excited, wasn't this what he was waiting for?

After the start of the game, with Sampdoria's offensive wave after wave, the Sampdoria fans in the stands of Marasi Stadium kept cheering, singing and applauding, and after Gao Zheng scored, Ma The cheers at Lacy Stadium finally reached their peak.

Deafening shouts hit the center of the pitch from all directions, and those Atlético Madrid players who didn't care much about it seemed to feel their hearts skipped a beat at this moment.

Marassi Stadium, which can only accommodate 30,000 people, was tied with the full Vincent Calderon Stadium.

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng ran to the South Stand of the Marasi Stadium, where he and his teammates celebrated the goal and the lead with the most enthusiastic fans.

Everyone is very excited and happy.

"Sampdoria took the lead! After entering the knockout round, they are still defending the dignity of Italian football! When Sampdoria achieved good results in the Coppa Italia, some people thought that Sampdoria was eliminated for the Champions League Get ready to be eliminated...but at least right now, it doesn't look like Sampdoria is willing to be eliminated!"

"Sampdoria have been playing on the counter-attack before, and maybe people have left a fixed impression that they only play on the counter-attack. But when they are fully fired offensively, they let people know that their offense is also good. Also sharp!"

Di Francesco rushed out of the coach's bench, like boxing, throwing the air and pumping his fists, excitedly celebrating the goal.

The tactic he gave the team before the game was to take advantage of the opportunity to fight at home and make a head start. The sooner you score the better, the more you score the better.

He knew that there was a problem with his team's physical fitness, and it was precisely because of this that he gave up his plan to counterattack and deal with the opponent slowly, because in that case the team's physical fitness might not guarantee that they could survive to the end.

It's better to grit your teeth and insist on aggressive attack while everyone's energy is high.

Strive to establish an advantage and gain more room for maneuver for subsequent games.

This is actually a kind of gamble, betting that the team can score as soon as possible, and betting that the team can keep the goal after scoring.

But because most of the Sampdoria team are young people, Di Francesco will do this. Young people are energetic and energetic. Otherwise, if you replace it with a lifeless veteran, you will have rich experience, but Di Francesco will not let the team take risks to gamble.

Now Gao Zheng helped the team take the lead in the first 12 minutes, which gave Di Francesco the hope of winning the bet.

On the Atletico Madrid coaching bench, Boggs and Ortega were silent, watching what was happening in the stadium dumbfounded.

Simeone curled his lips among them: "I just said that it is impossible not to concede the ball?"

This time, whether it was Ortega or Boggs, neither of them ridiculed Simeone.

They looked at each other complicatedly.

Before Simeone always emphasized Gao Zheng's threat in front of them, they always didn't take it seriously. If there is another threat, can our defense be unable to defend?

Godin, Miranda, Juanfran, Felipe and Courtois have conceded just 19 goals in the league so far this season, the fewest of any team in La Liga A line of defense.

They only conceded three goals in the Champions League group stage, tied with Manchester United and Chelsea for the team with the least conceded goals in the group stage, and performed well and steadily.

How could such a strong defense line not be able to guard Gao Zheng?

Simeone's excessive caution in preparing for the battle also made them disapproval and incomprehensible.

In order to prepare for the away game against Sampdoria, Simeone even gave up the league. Atletico Madrid lost 0:3 to Osasuna in the away game, and half of the main players did not play.

In the same round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Elche 3-0, leading the losing Atletico Madrid by three points and ranking first.

If Atletico Madrid does not give up this game, the points should be the same as Real Madrid now, and they will overwhelm Real Madrid by virtue of their mutual win-loss relationship, temporarily ranking first in the league.

Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad in the away game, and the current points are the same as Atletico Madrid. Similarly, if Atletico Madrid can win Osasuna, the points will overtake Barcelona by three points.

It's a pity that in front of the Champions League, the league has to make concessions.

But if you play Sampdoria, do you need to make concessions to the league?

They had been suspicious before.

Only now have they discovered that Simeone's caution was justified.

It's really not easy to play Sampdoria away...

That Gao Zheng is really hard to guard against...

The TV broadcast was repeatedly replaying the slow motion of Gao Zheng's goal just now. He turned around and volleyed, and the movements were connected in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

He Ping praised: "Gao Zheng seems to be dancing a waltz in front of Atlético de Madrid, which is dazzling! All Atletico Madrid players seem to be attracted by his dance steps. Already got into the goal..."

"No adjustments, no stopping the ball, direct shooting, the movement is as natural as if it has been planned for a long time..." Caresa shook his head and praised again and again. "Sampdoria are now in the lead at home because of Gao's goal, which gives them a good base to advance to the next knockout round..."

Di Francesco had calmed down after the initial excitement, and when the players returned to half-time from their celebrations, he yelled at the Sampdoria players passing in front of him from the sidelines to remind them to stay calm , don't get too excited, guard against arrogance and impetuosity.

The most important thing after taking the lead is not to lose the ball easily. Atletico Madrid is strong and has the ability to equalize the score. If you get carried away because you scored a goal, you won't be able to cry until the end.

Captain Gastadro is also reminding his teammates: "Keep calm! We are only one goal ahead of them! The game has just begun, guys!"

With excited expressions on their faces, everyone nodded vigorously, agreeing to their captain.

Of course they knew that they couldn't get carried away at this time.

On the other side, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone asked assistant coach Boggs to encourage the players from the sidelines, telling them not to panic and stabilize their positions. Don't be in a hurry to equalize the score, just withstand Sampdoria's offensive. Wait for Sampdoria's offensive to slow down before considering attacking and scoring.

Boggs continued to give instructions to the players on the sidelines.

Diego Simeone stood behind him, but turned his gaze to Gao Zheng.

He was thinking, is that boy Giovanni watching the live broadcast of this game?
