Chapter 217: Lighthouse Derby


With Icardi's goal, Sampdoria eventually drew Parma 1:1 away. Although they were not able to reach a two-game winning streak, considering the game itself, it was good to be able to take away one point from the away .
At least Parma coach Roberto Donadoni was not satisfied with the result. He said in the post-match press conference that Parma deserved to win.
Indeed, after playing for more than 60 minutes with one person more than the opponent, they were not satisfied at home.
Di Francisco is also very dissatisfied. He thinks Romero should not give a red card. The red card penalty is too strict for Sampdoria. If Romero is not a red card, Sampdoria may be able to Win opponents away.
After this game, Maxi Lopez invited the two to go to his house to enjoy a barbecue dinner on the grounds of celebrating Icardi's first goal in the league and comforting Romero who was sent off with a red card.
This time Icardi agreed without any hesitation.
He spent another wonderful night at the home of Maxi Lopez with four fellow Argentines.
The teammates all saw the smile on Icardi's face the next day.
Gao Zheng looked at and said to Marcy: "You see Mauro's mood is much better. Sure enough, scoring a goal is a cure for all diseases!"
Massey also admitted that Gao Zheng was right.
Everyone thinks that Icardi's good mood is related to his goal against Parma.
Icardi, who scored a goal, also came off the bench in the next round against Cagliari, but this time he failed to score again. Sampdoria defeated Cagliari 1:0 at home, scoring has nothing to do with Icardi.
Next Sampdoria visited Meazza Stadium to challenge Inter Milan.
Meazza and San Siro are actually a stadium, only because the supporters of the two teams insist on different footwork, they have two names, but in fact the official name of this stadium is Meazza Stadium, Meazza It is the legend of Inter Milan, but AC Milan fans are not happy to use this name, they still insist on using San Siro.
Gao Zheng set foot on this stadium again, but this time he failed to help Sampdoria beat Inter Milan.
He had one goal and one assist in the game. In the media score after the game, he was the highest scorer in Sampdoria.
But Sampdoria lost to Inter Milan 2:3 away.
This kind of performance made AC Milan fans quite whisper-hit us, you are like playing chicken blood, how to play Inter Milan, you do not show great power?
In fact, if you watch the whole process of this game, you will find that the Sampdoria team has worked very hard.
The game was very fierce and people turned their backs. Sampdoria left-back Andre Costa was sent off with a yellow card in the fifty-first minute. Sampdoria was basically ten dozen eleven in the second half.
Worried about Gao Zheng being injured, Di Francisco had to replace Gao Zheng in the 78th minute, and it was Icardi who replaced Gao Zheng.
In fact, Sampdoria played well at the start of the game. Gao Zheng helped Sampdoria take the lead in the 20th minute. This is also his tenth league goal of the season, far ahead of the scorer list. other people.
But then Inter Milan chased three goals in a row. It wasn't until the seventy-first minute that Samp was scored by Maxi Lopez with Gao Zheng's assist.
Then the game became more intense, because there was only a gap of one goal, the lead was not guaranteed, and the lagging side saw hope.
Some penalties on the court also caused dissatisfaction between the players on both sides.
In the 83rd minute, the head referee even halted the game, rushed to the Sampdoria bench and sent off the bench goalkeeper Bernie with a red card, because he kept talking about the referee's penalty. just.
In the end Icardi failed to save the team, Sampdoria lost to Inter Milan 2:3 away.
After losing to Inter Milan, two people were sent off, and Sampdoria seemed to be hurt.
In the next two games against Atlanta and Palermo, Sampdoria lost. And they also lost Maxi Lopez during this period, the Argentine shooter was seriously injured in training, and initially expected to miss two months of the game...
For Sampdoria, it was really a leak in the house.
After twelve rounds, Sampdoria had 17 points and fell to eighth.
However, from the perspective of the club's goal at the beginning of the season, this result can still be considered good. After all, the team that aims at relegation, and there is no team that has been heavily recruited during the summer transfer period, it is already a very good performance to be able to rank in the middle.
However, the goal is always changing. After seeing the three consecutive victories in the beginning of the Sampdoria League, everyone naturally has higher requirements for this team, hoping that their goal can be more than relegation.
Against this background, the three-game losing streak seems a bit ugly.
It is understandable to lose to Inter Milan in the case of one less person, but the subsequent consecutive losses to Atlanta and Palermo have attracted a lot of criticism of the team.
During this time, De Francesco was also under great pressure, and there have even been rumors that the club is looking for a successor for De Francisco.
Although it was quickly denied by the club, since there are such rumors, it shows that we have the soil and foundation to spread such rumors.
After all, the top executives of the Sampdoria club are unreliable and not once or twice.
There are also rumors that the next round of the lighthouse derby against Genoa will be a hurdle. If Sampdoria loses again, Di Francisco’s position may not be guaranteed...
Of course, such rumors were quickly denied by both Sampdoria Club and Di Francisco himself.
No such thing.
※※※
These seemingly true and false rumors seem to be warming up to the lighthouse Derby.
After Sampdoria's relegation to the second division, Genoa has not had a derby for a full year.
This season, with Sampdoria returning to the first division, Italy's famous "Beacon Derby" can finally continue again.
Since the statistics, this year is the 87th "Beacon Derby"-this is the number that counts all official matches, including Serie A, Serie B, and Italian Cup. Of the 86 derby games that have ended, Sampdoria is more dominant. They have won 31 games, lost 22 games and tied 33 games.
If only the Serie A league, the lighthouse derby played a total of 58 games, Sampdoria is still dominant, winning the second market, losing 14 games, tying 24 constant.
Looking at this result alone, it seems that Sampdoria is stronger in the city of Genoa. But in fact, the glorious history of this team in Genoa was before the birth of Sampdoria. When Genoa won nine league titles, Sampdoria was not born yet.
So when Genoa is strong, there is no "beacon derby". After the birth of Sampdoria, the golden age of Genoa has passed, so reflected in the Derby results, it is Sampdoria that is more dominant.
In fact, in the period when Mancini and Gullit were in possession, Sampdoria had an absolute advantage in the "Beacon Derby". From 1982 to 1994, there were fifteen Serie A "Beacon Derby" Sampdoria lost only one game.
At that time, it was also the most glorious time for Sampdoria. Together with the six teams of Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Palma, Naples, Sampdoria and Florence, they were called "Seven A Sisters". . It was also the most glorious time in Serie A because of the gathering of superstars, fierce competition, and exciting games, known as the "Little World Cup".
After the time entered the new century, Sampdoria fell into decline, and the two teams could appear in Serie A at the same time. The "Beacon Derby" in the first Serie A game of the new century was not late until September 23, 2007.
Since then, Sampdoria and Genoa have played eight times in Serie A. Sampdoria has only won twice, tied once, and lost in the other five games.
Especially in the two games of the 2010-2011 season, Sampdoria was double killed by Genoa. In the second "Beacon Derby", Sampdoria lost to Genoa 1:2 away and fell into the second division to become a foregone conclusion. Genoa personally sent enemies in the same city to hell, which made Genoa fans a cool summer.
Now with the upgrade of Sampdoria, the grudges of the two teams in this city will continue.
This time, Sampdoria apparently treated this "beacon derby" with a revenge mentality. They still remember who pushed them into the abyss a season ago.
