Prominence in Football Community

? After the start of the second half, Di Francesco was particularly grateful for the decision he made during the intermission.

Because Sampdoria faced the familiar and crazy Atletico Madrid in the second half!

After enduring halftime, Simeone's team finally showed their sharp teeth. They no longer huddled in their second half, but actively ran and pressed, and began to surround Sampdoria from the frontcourt.

Even when the Sampdoria player passed back to the goalkeeper, Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa was tireless in rushing forward to press.

Of course, this will lead to boos from Sampdoria fans, but whether the boos are used to express dissatisfaction with Diego Costa, but to express the concerns of Sampdoria fans, then I don’t know ...

In the face of Atletico Madrid's high-pressure press, the Sampdoria players must be clean enough when handling the ball. A little bit of muddy water may pose a huge threat to their goal.

There is only one exception.

Gao Zheng is the only player in the Sampdoria team who can keep the football under his feet for a while. On the one hand, he has this ability, and on the other hand, the tactics allow Gao Zheng to do so.

After all, he is the Sampdoria player furthest from his own goal, and if he can hold the ball for a while longer, he can make the time pass more.

When the Sampdoria players get the ball, as long as they have the conditions, they will kick the football forward and pass it to him as much as possible.

After Gao Zheng got the ball, he would bring it forward when he had the opportunity, trying to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal. If he had no chance, he would also bring the football forward, so that the football would hit his goal as far as possible.

In the beginning, Atletico Madrid only used one person to defend Gao Zheng, but soon they found that they couldn't defend alone.

Whether it is Godin or Miranda, it is not easy for Gao Zheng to take the football away from Gao Zheng's feet one-on-one. At most, they can form a stalemate with Gao Zheng, and it is difficult to regain the ball for a while.

Because Sampdoria is one goal ahead, even if Gao Zheng keeps controlling the ball and does not shoot, as long as he does not lose the ball, it is beneficial to Sampdoria.

Later, Atletico Madrid adjusted their defensive strategy and asked Godin and Miranda to defend Gao Zheng at the same time, and the situation improved a bit.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid took more shots and threatened Sampdoria's goal more often.

But Sampdoria can always hit a counterattack from time to time,

A little threat to Atletico Madrid's goal, plus Sampdoria is used to defensive counterattacks this season, and they are very used to being besieged by others, and they are very experienced in handling it.

So the score of the game has remained stalemate.

At the 75th minute, Diego Simeone made Atletico Madrid's first substitution of the game. He replaced Arda Turan with David Villa and played a double striker , Further increasing Sampdoria's defensive pressure.

As a result, just two minutes after Simeone's substitution, Sampdoria was hit again, and the midfielder Palombo was injured...

Palombo was loaned to Inter Milan last season, but he did not stay in the end and returned to the team after the loan period ended. However, his position is gone, and the captain's armband has also been worn on the arm of the original second captain, Gastadro.

He has no complaints, and he has given full play to the demeanor of an old captain. He is diligent in training. In the locker room, although he is not the captain, he still helps Gastadro manage the locker room and maintain unity.

This season, Sampdoria has made a substantial rotation, and Palumbo has also played in the game. Later, due to an injury to Renan, Palumbo seized the opportunity to become the main force again.

His experience and ability have helped the team a lot, but after all, he is old and a little tired after continuous high-intensity battles. After completing a defense, he sat on the turf clutching his calf.

At first, the commentator on Spanish TV thought he was deliberately delaying time, but later, after the Sampdoria team doctor checked on the field, he made a substitution gesture-he was indeed injured, not deliberately delaying time.

Palumbo's injury is another unexpected blow to Sampdoria.

After Gastadro left the field, the captain's armband was brought to Palumbo's arm, but Palumbo was also injured unexpectedly.

Is this captain's armband poisonous?

Who wears who dies?

"My God, Palumbo is injured too... Sampdoria are really unlucky for this game, it seems that Palumbo can't hold on and will be replaced... Renan is warming up. One game injured The two main players, not only is Sampdoria dangerous in this game, but it is hard to say whether Gastadro and Palombo will be able to come back in the next round of the game..."

The injury of the two captains also cast a shadow over the hearts of the Sampdoria players.

This seems to be a kind of providence in the dark.

Team morale hit rock bottom.

Atletico Madrid's morale was boosted, and they seized the opportunity of the Sampdoria players' uneasiness and launched a more violent attack on the Sampdoria goal.

Finally, in the 83rd minute, Villa, who came off the bench, equalized the score for Atletico Madrid!

"Villa's header... oops! The ball is in!" Caresa sighed regretfully. "Sampdoria lost the goal in the 83rd minute! What a pity!"

When Villa and his teammates celebrated the goal, many Sampdoria players covered their faces with their hands and fell to the ground. They had just experienced injuries to their teammates, and now they conceded the ball again.

The Sampdoria fans in the stands were also stunned and fell silent.

For them, this conceded goal meant that Atletico Madrid scored an away goal and evened the total score. In the second round, I went to his home court. This match will be difficult...

You can't win at home, and you still expect to go to an away game to comeback?

Di Francesco stood on the sidelines, motionless like a statue. He had thousands of bad words in his heart, but now he couldn't swear a single one.

"This is really... this is really unlucky!" He Ping shook his head again and again, he was very disappointed, but he still wanted to be fair, and he couldn't simply vent his emotions. "Actually, Sampdoria's performance was already very good. They withstood the madness of Atletico Madrid in the second half, but two consecutive injuries to the team brought a huge blow to the morale and confidence of the team. Sometimes, football is like this, You did everything you could, you did a great job, but you couldn't hold back the bad luck..."

Simeone and his assistants on the sidelines jumped out of the coach's bench and celebrated wildly. It really means "handsome".

They pretended to be grandsons in the first half, wasn't it just for this moment?

Although it is completely acceptable to lose 0:1 away, but 1:1, wouldn't it be better to have an away goal?

Not even just an away draw... Simeone was thinking more as he celebrated.
