Chapter 406: Semifinal match

Gao Zheng expressed his confidence in the team's victory in the interview. Naples is naturally not to be outdone.
Team captain Hamsick responded to Gao Zhen’s statement in an interview:
I agree with Gao’s statement that there is no easy game to win in this world. So we will also be here Go all out in the game. No one will give up easily when the Italian Cup reaches this point."
"Hamsik is right. Sampdoria has been very difficult to paralyze his opponents with the low-key of the game. Think about it. Whether it is Rome or Juventus, it is facing San. In Pudoria, they all showed some contempt for this team... they obviously can send the strongest lineup, but in the end they are often a set of rotation. Juventus is the most obvious, Buffon did not even Come away. Conte must bear the greatest responsibility for the strength of this game. However, after consecutively eliminating Rome and Juventus, I think no one will think that Sampdoria just wants to give up Italy decently. Is it a cup?" On the five Italian TV programs in the evening, the guests were talking about the next matchup.
The host asked: "So you don't like Sampdoria to reach the final of the Italian Cup?"
The guest shook his head: "I'm not optimistic that they reached the finals. After all, football is round, and everything is possible. It's just that with Napoli going all out and still taking advantage of the schedule, Sampdoria wanted It's still very difficult to reach the final of the Italian Cup..."
He didn't say anything to death, but everyone understood what he meant.
The reason why we don't say death is that we can't leave too obvious a handle. If Sampdoria really eliminated Naples in the end, wouldn’t he be beaten?
Since Gao Zheng hit the faces of the experts on the shooter list last season, many people have been relatively cautious about Gao Zheng's problems.

On the second day of the semifinals between Udinese and Florence, Sampdoria welcomed Naples at home.
This is a contest between league third and league seventh.
One of the reasons why many people are more optimistic about Naples is also in the league rankings, which fully reflects the gap between the two teams.
After twenty-two rounds, Naples scored 44 points and ranked third, but it is far from the top two Juventus and Roma in the league. There should be no chance to catch up with the two teams this season. If at the end of the season, they can still hold the third position in the league, it is already very good, at least they can participate in the Champions League next season.
In terms of honors this season, in fact they can still compete in the Italian Cup.
So in this game, Naples absolutely does not have the problem of not paying enough attention.
They must be the strongest team they can send.
This is not good news for Sampdoria.
In fact, this is also the case, this game of Naples sent their main lineup in the league.
At the top is center Higuain, who has scored ten league goals this season.
In the left and right sides are Insigne and Carlejon, the midfielder is the captain Hamsik, and the back is Inle and Jorginho.
Four guards, left-back Anthony Revier, right-back Marjoo, centre-backs Albiol and Federico Fernandez.
The goalkeeper was René who was transferred from Liverpool.
This lineup is the main lineup of Naples in the league.
Naples can be ranked third in the league, and it has a lot to do with their performance.
But in terms of the player's personal abilities, Naples is a grade better than Sampdoria.
After all, the players on Sampdoria's side, except Gao Zheng, are either young people or players who haven't been a famous player for many years.
Unlike Naples, almost all of them are well-known in European football, and they also have rich game experience in the giants.
For example, the leading shooter Higuain was also the main player before Real Madrid, and Carlejón was Real Madrid's star of hope.
If only the paper strength is analyzed, I believe no one thinks that Naples will lose.
But football is interesting, it means that you can't rely on simple comparison of paper strength in the game.

After the game started, Sampdoria only launched an attack at the beginning, threatening some of Napoli's goals, and then quickly contracted the defense, playing their best defense counterattack.
On the Naples side, they insisted on the wing offensive style they were good at, and the wing formed by Kalehun and Insigne continued to attack the Sampdoria defense line.
It's just that these two sidewalks have to slow down when they reach the 30-meter area of ​​Sampdoria.
It used to be said that Kalehun felt like he was riding a motorcycle on the field when he was playing in Real Madrid, but when facing the intensive defense of Sampdoria, the motorcycle of Kalehong's crotch had to be replaced by a bicycle. ...
In fact, in this game, playing defensive counterattack is not only the tactic that Sampdoria is good at, but it is also specially arranged by Di Francisco for Benitez.
It is to not leave Naples with two wing assault spaces behind the line of defense, so that they can not play their technical and speed advantages on the wing.
On the offensive, because of the need to maintain a defensive formation, try not to give Naples an opportunity, so on the offense, it depends more on the individual capabilities of the offensive player.
But this point is not very worried about Francisco, because he believes that they have the world's most advanced personal technical striker.
Apart from not being good at header and confrontation, there are basically no disadvantages.
Not being good at headers is not a problem if the team plays defensive counterattacks and lacks midfield and wing support.
Not even good at confrontation, because Gao Zheng's free kick is excellent! It is impossible for the opponent to stop Gao Zheng without fouling in a game? As long as you foul, it is Gao Zheng's performance moment.
So from this perspective, Gao Zheng is comprehensive and has no fatal weaknesses.
Ten minutes into the game, Napoli's offense had not yet shown any threats, and Sampdoria's intensive defense did play a role.
In the thirteenth minute, Sampdoria, who defended in the backcourt, cut off Napoli's ball and did not advance through the midfield layer by layer. Instead, he kicked the football directly to the center and frontcourt.
Gao Zheng received the ball just after the middle circle, and was not offside. He turned and took the ball and walked forward!
"Sampdoria's counterattack!"
There was a cry of cheering for Gao Zheng at Malasi Stadium.
The Naples players quickly returned to defense, and the central defenders Albiol and Fernandes, who were in the back, slowly retreated while waiting for their teammates to return.
The Naples players in the midfield are quickly returning to defense. As for those in the frontcourt, they haven't run much. After all, they are farthest away. After they run back, it is estimated that the daylily is cold, so it is better to stay in the frontcourt. Sampdoria's players in the midfield and backcourts do not allow them to overpower. On the other hand, they can also immediately invest in counterattacks after their teammates have successfully defended.
As mentioned before, Gao Zheng is not a speed player, but it is definitely not a slow high center.
The rhythm of his dribbling is very good, so although the absolute speed is not fast, the dribbling speed is not slow.
He quickly drew the ball and approached Napoli central defender Albiol.
The Spanish central defender who moved to Naples from Real Madrid this summer is tall and tall, but not fast enough and not flexible enough to turn.
Gao Zheng turned his head and glanced towards his right when he drew the ball to the front of his eyes. On his right, there was indeed Berardi who was plugging in at high speed, trying to meet him.
Albiol noticed Gao Zheng's movement of turning his head, so his eyes glanced involuntarily.
This is a very covert action, but Gao Zheng was sharply caught.
He immediately bullied him!
Albiol's attention was originally on Bellardi, but suddenly he saw Gao Zheng coming up close, and he quickly stretched his legs reflexively to block Gao Zheng.
Gao Zheng used his right foot to gently move the football to the front left, and the football rubbed past Albiol's toes, while Gao Zheng took another step and wiped from Albiol .
Because the movement range is very small, it does not affect Gao Zheng's center of gravity and balance, so that he can quickly connect his movements without excessive adjustment and delay time.
Shaking off Albiol, he drove the ball to the penalty area of ​​Naples!
