After the equalizer, Roma's morale was indeed boosted. When the game restarted, they continued to attack Sampdoria's goal.

Originally, the Roma team coached by Rudy Garcia was very good at attacking. Now when they are fully fired, Sampdoria's defense suddenly looks like a flat boat bumping up and down in the wind and waves, being thrown on top of the waves from time to time, and then smashed into the waves again.

It made people tremble with fear, for fear that the next wave would hit, and the boat would turn into a pile of scraps and float on the sea.

Although the sailors on the deck gritted their teeth and fought against the wind and waves, facing the furious nature, they had no idea how long they could resist this kind of operation, or if this resistance was futile at all. In the end, he could not escape the fate of death.

And like this, the only reason why they didn't give up is that their captain hasn't given the order to abandon the ship.

Every sailor turns their eyes to their captain, who, although young, has saved the lives of the entire ship countless times in the unpredictable sea.

He has won the trust and respect of the most demanding sailors by his practical actions.

So the reason why these sailors are so embarrassed and miserable, and they never let go is simple. They are waiting for the captain to make the right choice to help them out of danger.

But this is full of various uncertainties and risks.

In all probability, the ship was torn apart by the violent sea before their captain could make a move.

But such is the fate of sailors—they spend their lives fighting the sea, and there are only two outcomes: either they conquer the sea, or they die at the bottom of the sea. But even if they are buried at the bottom of the sea, that is their inevitable destination.

They understand the horrors of the sea better than anyone else, but they also face it more bravely than anyone else.

"Roma's offensive is fierce, Sampdoria's goal is in jeopardy, and the cheers of Roma fans in the Olympic Stadium are louder and louder... If Sampdoria doesn't do something, it will be dangerous!"

"It's hard to say, maybe giving up the Coppa Italia is more in the interests of Sampdoria's team?" Bergomi said.

"In that case, why make such a starting lineup?"

"I don't want to make it so obvious that I gave up the game..." Bergomi guessed.

"After all, it's unreasonable to give up a game nakedly, so on the one hand, you have to show off, and on the other hand, you want the team to lose the game-you see it like this, you scored a goal in the game, took the lead, and finally because Roma went all out and regretted losing, which is obviously better than sending a group of substitutes and youth players and losing the game cleanly..."

Caresa said nothing, but he felt that what Bergomi said had some truth.

Perhaps this is exactly the effect Di Francesco wants to create.

When everyone saw Sampdoria's starting lineup, they were all deceived by this full main lineup, and their minds were full of whether Sampdoria wanted to make a difference in the Coppa Italia...

But in fact, Di Francesco still has no intention of giving up the Coppa Italia.

It's just that this method of giving up is indeed much smarter than before.

Last season, Sampdoria was eliminated in the first round of the Coppa Italia, telling everyone that their goal for that season was the league, and that no other competitions should interfere with the team's relegation... Of course, the final result also It is indeed very good. Without the interference of the Coppa Italia, Sampdoria not only successfully avoided relegation, but also won the third place in the league and entered the Champions League this season.

However, Sampdoria was a newly promoted horse at the time, and it didn't matter if they gave up this event in the first round of the Coppa Italia.

But now that they are the third runner-up in the league, it may not be justified to be so naked.

So next, Sampdoria should start to replace the main players to prepare for the next league, right?

The TV broadcast was switched to Sampdoria coach Di Francesco. Seeing the young coach with a calm expression, he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

This deepened Caresa and Bergomi's judgment on Sampdoria's purpose.

※※※

Of course, Di Francesco was so calm not because he wanted to give up the game, but because he felt at ease after seeing Gao Zheng's smile.

He knows that Gao Zheng loves to laugh, but he also knows that if Gao Zheng smiles when encountering difficulties, it means that this super genius is going to grow up...

That being the case, what else did he have to worry about?

All he has to do now is to stay calm and pass this heart on to his players, and the rest is to watch Gao Zheng perform.

Roma's offensive is still fierce, but Di Francesco has begun to pay attention to the space behind Roma every time he goes up.

※※※

Gao Zheng was also paying attention to the space behind Rome.

As a center forward, he was at the forefront, but in order not to be offside, he returned to his own half. There were basically only two Roma central defenders in front of him, and their full-backs pressed up to participate in the attack.

And it doesn't come back to participate in the defense every time the offense is over, but will continue to stay in the frontcourt, waiting for the next offensive opportunity.

There is nothing wrong with them doing this, because Sampdoria's counterattacks rarely last past halftime. With the offensive momentum that Roma is showing now, Sampdoria basically only has the power to parry and has no power to fight back. .

This is good news for myself.

The bad news is that because Roma's offensive is too fierce, the two flanks are pressed very high, so whether it is Berardi or Zaza, they are shrinking very deep and defending, unable to rush up to meet him in a short time .

If there is a chance to fight back, there is a high chance that he will have to fight alone.

However, he used to do such things as riding alone in the AC Milan youth team...it wasn't too difficult.

Totti took the ball outside the penalty area, and his teammates were actively running. He made a fake move to pass the football, but suddenly cast a cold arrow and chose a long shot.

The shot was sudden and of high quality.

Although Romero jumped up and made a save, he didn't touch the football.

Fortunately, the football finally hit the crossbar!

There was a loud sigh from the stands of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, regretting that Totti missed the goal.

"Totti - the crossbar! Oops! What a pity! What a shot! It was such a quality shot from long distance that Romero was about to surrender, but the crossbar saved him!"

The football hit the crossbar and didn't bounce off the baseline, but bounced back into the pitch.

Players on both sides can't take care of other considerations. Sampdoria wants to clear the football, while Rome needs to win the second point and reorganize the attack.

Alberto Massi, who regained his starting position in this game, leaped high on the edge of the penalty area, grabbed the ball before the Roma players, and struggled to push the football towards the midfield.

This is a pure clearance. It's good that he can push the football out, and he doesn't care about who will receive the ball after he pushes it out.

Even if Roma had the ball, it wouldn't allow them to receive it so close to the goal.

Alberto Massi's header was powerful and the football flew straight towards the touchline near the halfway line.

Gao Zheng, who was originally in the middle circle, was looking for the landing point, and ran over to catch the ball.

Immediately, a central defender Burdisso followed up from behind on Roma's side, intending to stick to Gao Zheng when he stopped the ball. Di Suo moved closer, intending to pinch Gao Zheng back and forth.

In this case, the best thing for Gao Zheng to do is to do the football back and pass it back to the Sampdoria players he can see. As long as he doesn't let Rome get the landing point in the first place and reorganize the attack, he will be considered as having completed the task.

The next thing is not what he should consider as a center.

Gao Zheng, who ran to the landing point, glanced back and confirmed Burdisso's position. At the same time, De Rossi was almost rushing to him.

I saw Gao Zheng raised his right foot slightly, as if he was about to stop the ball.

De Rossi took a stride and accelerated to rush forward.

The football fell, but Gao Zheng didn't stop the football. Instead, he used the inside of his right foot to slam the falling football to the left rear of his body!

The football ran past Burdisso.

At the same time, Gao Zheng didn't stay where he was. When he knocked the football over, he turned around and accelerated, breaking out from the encirclement of Burdisso and De Rossi!

When De Rossi rushed up, he failed to stop Gao Zheng, on the contrary, he almost collided with Burdisso.

Finally, their common goal, Gao Zheng, has completed the movement of turning and starting, speeding up to catch up with the football, and bringing the football to the second half of Rome!

"High! Beautiful stop!! He played Burdisso and De Rossi! Counter attack from Sampdoria!!"

In the storm, the captain keenly grasped the gap between the wind and waves, and directed the ship to rush to the edge of the storm. When ordinary people were so frightened by the furious nature that they couldn't stand, only the extremely calm and surprised captain To make such a decisive decision, this is a life-and-death maneuver!
