Chapter 326: Return them


Beraldi scored a goal, but Gao Zheng didn't even get an assist, which made Gao Zheng's supporters a bit lost.
But Gao Zheng didn't care.
After Sampdoria took the lead, the Celtics stepped up their offensive.
Although it is an away game, how can the Super League champions lose to a mid-level team in Serie A?
This is the idea of ​​many people in the Celtics.
Their minimum requirement for this road trip is a draw, but in fact many people want to take all three points.
In this group, Barcelona is definitely the first group without any suspense, so who is the remaining one qualifying place?
The Celtics defaulted to them.
Sampdoria is a soft persimmon that can be pinched at will. The only thing that can pose a threat to them is the Dutch Ajax. The two teams are considered evenly matched. This second qualifying spot has to be decided between the two teams.
And in order to win in this competition, in addition to direct dialogue with Ajax, the result of the game with the weakest team in the group is also crucial.
When the coach formulates the strategy, he may announce that he will be relatively conservative.
But everyone knows that it is necessary to score six points against Sampdoria in two rounds, so that they will be more secure in the second group.
As a result, although the offensive was fierce in the first half, it thundered and did not rain, and did not break Sampdoria's goal.
Sampdoria gave a goal in the second half before putting force...
The Celtics couldn't calm down anymore.
This game must be won.
They launched a violent offensive towards Sampdoria's goal.
During this time Sampdoria was in danger.
When the veteran powerhouse Celtics started, Sampdoria immediately felt the pressure.
In the sixty-ninth minute, Celtics midfielder Matthews sent a straight stop before the penalty area. Samaras shot after receiving the ball and was blocked by Gstadero with his leg.
It didn't take long for the Celtics captain, midfielder Scott Brown to shoot a cold arrow outside the penalty area, and the football slid out of the door. The Sampdoria fans in the stands were shocked with cold sweat.
In the 73rd minute, Celtic right-back Lustig assisted forward. The pass from the side, forward Anthony Stokes unmarked at the back point, jumped and headed to the top.
The football hit the side net, so that the commentators almost shouted out the words "ball in".
The Celtics' continuous offensive finally paid off in the 76th minute.
Under their oppression, Sampdoria central defender Alberto Massi returned a pass error and was intercepted by Samaras. The Greek forward faced the attacking goalkeeper Romero, swayed the opponent and pushed the empty goal. Football flew into the goal without suspense!
"Samaras! He equalized the Celtics!" the Scottish TV commentator shouted.
"Massi's mistake is really..." Carissa held her head in both hands, very sorry.
"Young people playing the Champions League for the first time will inevitably be a little nervous, especially under the oppressive play of the opponent. Since Di Francisco has to choose the tactics of the youth army, he must have to bear such a game. The price." Guest Bergomi said.
"Sampdoria lost the ball! What a pity! They only led by ten minutes..." He Ping sighed.
Samaras, who scored a goal, ran to celebrate the goal, and his teammates followed him.
The background to them is the frustrated and painful Massey, who stood in front of the door and stared at the football in the goal.
He never expected that he would have such a low-level mistake. The return pass was too small and was intercepted by Samaras. But when he passed the ball, he didn't pay attention to the situation around him, and he didn't know where Samaras came from.
His mistakes gave away the team's good game, which was originally a lead, and now it has become a draw. How much will the morale of the team be hit? Will we lose the game? Will I be criticized by the media after losing the game? Will I be spit on Sampdoria fans on the street...
Just when Massey was thinking about it, Gao Zheng slapped it on his shoulder: "It's no big deal, everyone will make mistakes, Alberto."
"But... this is my responsibility..."
"Of course it's your responsibility, so you have to keep your spirits up and don't make mistakes in the next game."
"We were equalized..." Massey said to Gao Zheng with a sad face.
Gao Zheng nodded: "Well, I know."
"You said we are going to win at home..."
"The game is not over yet, who said we can't win?" Gao Zheng asked rhetorically.
After talking about it, he threw down the stunned Massi, walked back to the middle circle, and was ready to kick off.
In the middle circle, Berardi was already standing there waiting for him.
When Gao Zheng came up, he asked, "What next?"
"Respect them one." Gao Zheng said as he walked to his side and stopped.
※※※
The Celtics celebrated for a while before returning to their own half.
Everyone's face was full of joy, this is a good beginning, they have evened the score, Sampdoria's morale has been hit hard, and the next time is to crush the opponent completely with a bang!
The referee Stark whistled and the game restarted!
Gao Zheng's re-entry into the game is more flexible. He is not limited to the middle, but will appear anywhere in the frontcourt.
This makes the Celtics players who are specifically responsible for defending him a bit overwhelmed and it is difficult to keep up.
As a center, Gao Zheng didn't play cards according to the rules. He went wherever he wanted, and many times he didn't even enter the restricted area.
This makes the Celtics defensive players feel messy-Lennon, the head coach of this game, let them perform man-to-man defense against Gao Zheng, but if they do so, it will be easy for Gao Zheng to pull out the air.
Beraldi has proved that he is also capable of threatening the goal with goals. If all go to Gao Zheng, who will defend against Beraldi?
When the game reached the eighty-first minute, Costicic took the ball on the sideline. He cut in from the sideline and dribbed laterally in front of the penalty area to find opportunities.
Bellardi pulled out of the middle and wanted to respond to him, but the Celtics defender immediately followed, even if he passed the football to Bellardi, Bellardi would be difficult to make effective The reaction, at most, still passed the football back to him.
Costicic was trying to pass the football to Beraldi, but when he approached, he suddenly passed the football to the other side and to the left of the penalty area.
There, Gao Zheng pulled to the side to answer.
He received the ball.
But immediately there was a Celtic defensive player in front of him, a Celtic central defender, No. 5 Van Dijk.
His distance is very suitable. Don't rush out, just block him, if Gao Zheng wants to shoot, he will stretch his leg to block, if Gao Zheng wants to break through, he will immediately post it.
Van Dijk's eyes fell on the football at Gao Zheng's feet. He made up his mind that no matter what Gao Zheng did at his feet, he stared at the football.
Everyone's eyes fell on Gao Zheng.
How would he handle this ball?
Gao Zheng, holding the ball sideways, leaned slightly and lowered his center of gravity.
The tall van Dijk also lowered his weight.
Gao Zheng suddenly leaned forward, and his left leg lifted up, as if he wanted to break the ball directly.
Van Dijk was unimpressed.
Gao Zheng's left foot turned around from the football, it was a fake!
But just when his left foot just passed around and stepped on the front of the football, his right ankle swung very concealed, and the heel kicked the football towards the bottom line!
Van Dijk's reaction was half a shot slower. He saw the football rolling behind Gao Zheng's left foot, only to realize that something was wrong, he quickly got up and chased.
But he is obviously not as flexible as Gao Zheng, and his start speed is slow, he was directly pulled away by Gao Zheng for most of his position!
However, with his strong physical fitness and a pair of long legs, Van Dijk still has the confidence to catch up with Gao Zheng, because the space in the restricted area is too small, and can not take a few steps, it will lose space and angle.
But who had thought that Gao Zheng didn't want to continue to take the ball, after throwing away most of Van Dijk's identity, he directly swung his left foot towards the football!
"Boom!"
The football rushed towards the back corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Although goalkeeper Foster had already moved to the near-angle blocking angle, Gao Zheng's powerful shot was too sudden, and the angle was very tricky!
He made a save action, but only a rush of air...
"GAO! GAO-GAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!" Carresa looked up and shouted.
