Chapter 454: A tie

After Sampdoria was eliminated, they immediately lost to Atlanta 0:3 in the league.
In this game Di Francisco made a lot of rotations, and the main players including Gao Zheng basically did not appear on the court.
This is already the team's four-game losing streak in the league, and it is the worst period since this team has risen to the first division.
In addition to being eliminated from the Champions League, Sampdoria seems to be covered with a thick cloud, and the sun is completely impenetrable, which makes people feel suffocated.
At this time, Sampdoria's ranking in the league has dropped to the eleventh place, only one point ahead of the rival rival Genoa in the same city.
This makes the fans of the enemies in the same city very happy.
When Sampdoria won the Italian Cup, they were really depressed and wanted to withstand the ridicule of Sampdoria fans every day.
But now it was their turn to raise their eyebrows and exhale. Although they did not perform well, they were very happy to see their opponents in the same city.
It would be perfect if he could overtake Sampdoria in the league next.
But they did not realize that in fact being eliminated in the Champions League, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Sampdoria to play in the league...
In this way, this season Sampdoria can finally fight without multiple lines-the Italian Cup has been played, Sampdoria won the championship, the Champions League is gone, only the league, Sampdoria does not need to Rotation, without giving up the league, specializing in the Champions League.
How terrible is a Sampdoria who can go all out in the league?
In the twenty-ninth round of the league a week later, Sampdoria faced Verona at home. In this game, Gao Zheng, who had not played at all, appeared in the starting lineup. In addition to him, other Sampdoria's main players have also restarted.
This game is at Sampdoria's home court.
Although the league suffered a four-game losing streak and was eliminated from the Champions League, Marathi Stadium is still full of seats-Sampdoria fans support their team in this way.
In fact, the Champions League was eliminated, and did not make Sampdoria fans dissatisfied with the team's performance. To know that no one can think of Sampdoria in the Champions League before the season, the results of the Sixteen have been very surprising. As Sampdoria fans, they all know the strength of their team, so they do not have any unrealistic expectations for the team, the team can play a knockout game, and can play at the end of Atletico Madrid. Only then did they win or lose, they were already very satisfied.
As a result, they returned to the airport to greet the team and treated them like heroes of triumph.
In this home league, they also expressed their support for the team with actual actions.
Before the game started, their singing sounded over the Marathi Stadium.
In return for such enthusiastic and selfless support to the fans, Gao Zheng took a long shot from outside the penalty area to lead Sampdoria in just four minutes!
"Oh! High! High! He scored in the first four minutes! It looks like he will have a very good shot in this game!"
After scoring, Gao Zheng ran to the South Grandstand where Sampdoria fans gathered, and bowed to them with a hand touching his chest.
"Gao used this celebration to express his apologies to the fans, because the team was eliminated in the Champions League and apologized to the fans for the team's four-game losing streak in the league. But in fact he didn't need to do this at all, because He has done well enough!" Caresa said with emotion at the scene.
The Sampdoria fans in the stands also saw this, and they responded to Gao Zheng with the same action—thousands of people bowed to Gao Zheng with their hands touching their chests.
They are not willing to accept Gao Zheng's apology, because Gao Zheng actually owes them nothing.
Instead, they need to apologize to Gao Zheng in turn-if not staying in Sampdoria, they believe Gao Zheng should have greater achievements this season. When I lost the old chairman at the club and Icardi resolutely left, Gao Zheng chose to stay out of his feelings for the team to the fans... so Sampdoria dragged him down, and It's not that he's sorry Sampdoria.
Because of the multi-line battle this season, Sampdoria couldn't provide a deep enough bench lineup to support, and could only take a rotation, resulting in Gao Zheng only scoring sixteen league goals, falling behind the league scorer list Yu Icardi has scored eighteen goals.
Last season's league golden boots, until now the league has played twenty-nine rounds and only scored 16 goals, which is far worse than his performance last season. But this is not because Gao Zheng's ability has declined, but because he has been rotated to the bench too many times this season.
So that Icardi, who is now very uncomfortable for Sampdoria fans, has ranked eighth in the shooter list because he can only play the league and scored eighteen goals.
If not in Sampdoria, I believe that Gao Zheng would never make Icardi so rampant...
※※※
Gao Zheng's goal set the tone for this game, and also made a good start, so that all the players in Sampdoria let go of the tension.
The game was completely taken over by Sampdoria and fell completely into Sampdoria's rhythm.
In the 23rd minute, Beraldi received Gao Zheng's assist and changed the score to 2:0.
Before the end of the first half, Captain Palombo scored a goal and the score became 3:0. Sampdoria led Verona by three goals in the first half.
In the face of Sampdoria's aggressive offensive, Verona could only shrink in his 30-meter area.
Before the game, they had hoped to beat Sampdoria at home, after all, Sampdoria is currently in poor condition, losing four straight in the league.
Verona currently has 24 points, only one more point than the third-lowest Bologna. It can be said that relegation is not insured.
There are ten rounds left in the league, and they also need to fight for relegation.
The relegation team is not easy to mess with.
As a result, the dream was broken after only four minutes.
They fell behind by three goals in the first half. How else to play in this game?
※※※
The second half of the game was just beginning again. In the 48th minute, Gao Zheng broke the goal of Verona again.
"Gao Zheng! scored twice! Now his personal league goals have risen to seventeen, just one goal away from Icardi!" Liu Hong was very happy because Sampdoria was busy during this time The Champions League and the Italian Cup do not pay enough attention to the league. Gao Zheng has not started and scored many times in the league. This makes him very depressed to explain Serie A.
Gao Zheng played a hat trick in Calderon during the Champions League, but it was explained by his colleague He Ping, and it had nothing to do with him.
Gao Zheng, who has already scored twice, has not stopped to pursue goals.
Finally in the 58th minute, he broke Verona's goal with a beautiful direct free kick. While performing a hat trick, he also tied Icardi in the shooter list.
"Oh ha ha ha! Hat tricks! Hat tricks! Gao's status is so good today! Before this game, Gao was three goals behind Icardi in the shooter list, and a game high will be The gap between them has been smoothed out!" Carresa said excitedly.
After winning the Italian Cup and being knocked out of the Champions League, what other topics are attractive on this team in Sampdoria?
Of course it is the battle of the league's golden boots.
Before taking advantage of Sampdoria's multi-line combat, Icardi fired at Inter Milan, scoring eighteen goals, surpassing Gao Zheng to reach the top of the shooter list.
This made many people see the opportunity for Icardi to pull Gao Zheng from the throne.
Of course, they all hope that someone can challenge Gao Zheng, so that Gao Zheng will not continue to be crazy.
Leading three goals on the shooter list can also be considered safe. I didn't expect Gao Zheng to eliminate the gap in one game.
Let those who are waiting to watch Icardi pick off Gao Zheng's good show be surprised and disappointed.
But Caresa doesn’t think so. A tie does not mean that the competition ends here. As Gao Zheng can now turn his focus back to the league, the competition between him and Icardi will definitely become more intense. When Icardi sees Gao Zheng’s performance today, he certainly cannot be indifferent?
In addition to this round of competition, there are only nine rounds left in the league, which is another highlight in addition to the title competition and relegation battle.
If Gao Zheng just let Icardi ride away, Caresa would be very disappointed.
