Chapter 324: The Champions League is not terrible

Polata and his son appeared in the south stands of the Marathi Stadium.
In order to watch the game, they closed the Focacha store again.
For them, closing the shop on the match day has become a regular procedure.
They did this every weekend last season.
And this time more than midweek because of the Champions League match day.
Polata was standing in the stands, looking around and full of seats, a little sighed.
The last time he came to watch Sampdoria's Champions League game, the son next to him was only five years old, and he took him to Malasi Stadium at the time.
At that time, Sampdoria had an offensive lineup composed of Mancini and Viali. In the midfield, there were Brazilian star Cerezo and Italian native star Pali. On the side, there were fast Malonbad and Ivan Bonetti . The Italian defender Palyuka on the defensive line and the famous central defenders Viljwoward and Katanez formed the defensive iron triangle.
That Sampdoria's overall strength is really much higher than the current Sampdoria.
Today's Sampdoria, perhaps only Gao Zheng can occupy a place in that Sampdoria's main lineup, and no one else can.
So that Sampdoria eventually reached the finals, the face of La Liga Barcelona Barcelona did not fall.
Twenty-one years later, the sailor is old, the scenery is no longer.
"Dad, what do you want?" the son asked when he noticed the strangeness of his father.
"I thought of the Sampdoria twenty-one years ago."
The son froze for a moment, and understood what his father meant: "Don't think about it, it's been twenty-one years, we can still score in the Champions League, we are very happy, aren't we?"
Polata glanced at her silly son and smiled very honestly, really silly...
But he agreed with his son for the first time.
With the passage of time, Sampdoria's glory is like the glory of Serie A, and it is gone forever. After so many years, Sampdoria has been able to make the Champions League again, which is already remarkable.
He regained his spirit and, like other Sampdoria fans in the stands, cheered for the team.

The UEFA Champions League group match was broadcast live on CCTV. The live broadcast signal began when the players warmed up on the Marathi Stadium. However, TV viewers can't see it, and this period of time all gave sponsors advertisements.
When the audience can see the live broadcast signal, it is already a picture of the players waiting for the appearance in the channel.
They heard He Ping's excited voice: "Audience friends, welcome to Malasi Stadium! This is the first game of Group H of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage, with Sampdoria against the Celtics! "
He Ping explained the La Liga game on CCTV and never got involved in the live broadcast of the Serie A game, so he didn't have the chance to explain Gao Zheng's game. Only in the Champions League did he have such an opportunity. He was naturally very excited.
"This game is the first Champions League game in the career of Chinese player Gao Zheng!"
Director Zhang Lu smiled next to him: "Yes, it is the first race. In fact, Gao Zheng has already played in the Champions League. It was the first two qualifiers, and the performance is still very good."
"Well, if it weren't for Gao Zheng, Sampdoria might not be able to enter the race at all. So the biggest highlight of this game is actually what Gao Zheng can do."
The Chinese fans in front of the TV are also all fighting. Although it is already past two o'clock in the morning, many bars are brightly lit and open overnight, just to get everyone together to cheer on Gao Zheng.
"...The Celtics have never won in Italy before-three draws and seven losses. Of course, this has nothing to do with Sampdoria, because the two teams have never played in the Champions League history... …The Celtics have lost 22 games away in the last 24 Champions League games. The only victory was the defeat of Spartak Moscow last season. In this game, their winger Foster was absent due to injury and midfielder Lei Deli also didn’t make it to the roster due to injury in the league last weekend..."
He Ping did enough homework for this Champions League game. Speaking of the recent situation of the two sides, like several family treasures, he talked about it.
"Sampdoria is well-organized and has no injuries. In addition, the striker Beraldi, who has just experienced three suspensions in the league, also appeared in the starting list of this game. Di Francisco has been building Gao Zheng, Zaza and Berardi's attacking trident in the frontcourt, appeared in this game, I hope they can surprise everyone..."

Although everyone is looking forward to this game, it does not mean that this game will be very exciting.
In fact, although the two sides have offensive and defensive each other, neither Sampdoria nor the Celtics failed to break the other goal, and the scene is not exciting.
The Celtics did have a very tight defense against Gao Zheng, almost staying close.
But despite this, Sampdoria's only attack in the first half that threatened the Celtics goal was created by Gao Zheng.
That was in the thirty-second minute, when Gao Zheng's volley in front of the goal was slammed by Celtic goalkeeper Foster and the football missed the baseline.
If Foster does not pounce on this, there will be eight or nine footballs that will fly to the goal.
This was the only moment in the first half that would excite Sampdoria fans.
The Celtics also have some offensive opportunities, but they are not sure.
So at the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.
He Ping said: "It was a little dull in the first half, which was very hard for Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the ball. While taking a break at halftime, you can wash your face with cold water, there are still 45 minutes..."
"It can be seen that Sampdoria's overall game is actually a bit tight," Zhang Lu said beside him. "Although they are at home, they are not very active. Some players' movements are obviously stiff. Perhaps it is because they are at home, so Sampdoria players can't let go of it..."
"After all, it is a team with little experience in the Champions League. It is normal for the first Champions League to have such a performance. However, this Sampdoria may be difficult to qualify from this group..." He Ping sighed Tone.
He still feels that Gao Zheng should not stay in Sampdoria this summer. It is meaningless to stay for another season.
It was difficult to play in the Champions League, but the result was just to go home after the group stage. There was no breakthrough in the team's honor, and it was only a year wasted to stay.
However, he wouldn't say such words. If he doesn't say it well, he will suffer criticism from many fans. As an narrator, he has experienced that taste many times.
※※※
Of course, everyone is not satisfied with this first half, but unlike what everyone thinks, Di Francisco who returned to the locker room did not criticize his players, and the Sampdoria players were not very frustrated.
Closing the door of the locker room, Di Francisco asked everyone: "How is it, now I feel the atmosphere of the Champions League, how does it feel? Are our opponents the kind of fearful behemoth? Is it almost invincible? Is their strength right? Much better than us? Is the Champions League game as some people say is 30% faster than the Serie A?"
Everyone in the locker room laughed.
"Not at all, right? Not at all!" Di Francisco waved his hand hard. "So what is terrible? The outside world is so terrible about the Champions League, it is so terrible, it seems that we stepped into it is the naked lamb to be slaughtered, the result? The Celtics, the Super League champion, the Scottish super giants, and We played a tie in the first half, we admit that our opponents are strong, so we are not weak, right?"
"In this case, treat the game as an ordinary league. Don't forget what Gao said before the game, how can there be something that we dare not even think about winning at home?!"
