Because Sampdoria is at home in this game and faces Genoa, the Sampdoria fans in the stands account for more than half of the number, and Genoa fans are mainly concentrated in the North Stand.

But in fact, this stadium is both home courts for both teams.

Even the name of the stadium is the same as that of the Meazza Stadium shared by the two Milan heroes.

The official name of the stadium is the same as the name of Inter Milan fans, and they are both Meaccha Stadium. However, AC Milan fans will definitely not use this name. They call this stadium San Siro because it is located in the San Siro district of Milan.

The same is true for this stadium in Genoa.

The official name of the stadium is consistent with the name of Genoa fans, both of which are Ferraris Stadium. However, Sampdoria fans refused to use this name. They called the stadium "Malasi Stadium" because the stadium is located in the Malasi District of Genoa.

Genoa clubs have a long history than Sampdoria, and they are the first football club in the whole of Italy, and the Ferraris Stadium was originally their home court.

Sampdoria, which was founded in 1946, is a junior generation. When they were born, this stadium was Genoa's home court, and its name was naturally used by Genoa.

In order to distinguish it from Genoa, Sampdoria fans insisted on calling the stadium by its location in the region.

If you tell a Sampdoria fan that Sampdoria is at the Ferraris Stadium, maybe that Sampdoria fan will not pay attention to you.

Now, looking around at the Marasi Stadium, the blue and red and black are clearly distinguished.

Two huge tifos in the north and south stands attracted everyone's attention.

On the south stand, the Sampdoria fans played the image of a sailor fighting the huge waves on the deck, which is the logo of the Sampdoria Club.

A griffin broke through the huge wave and wanted to attack the sailor, but the spear in the sailor's hand had locked it. There were still a few spears missing from the griffin, which was thrown by the sailor.

In this tifo, Sampdoria fans expressed their support and blessings to the home team with two symbols, hoping that the team can defeat Genoa, which is symbolized by the griffon, like a brave sailor.

The giant tifo on the opposite side of the North stand was made by Genoa fans. The griffin wearing Genoa jersey kicked a coffin covered with Sampdoria jersey out of the abyss.

This is about what happened last season. At that time, Sampdoria lost to Genoa in the last "Beacon Derby", and was basically relegated. After the game, Genoa fans held a parade on the street. A group of people marched in the streets with a coffin covered with Sampdoria's jersey, and held a serious funeral for Sampdoria.

Of course, this is not the kindness of the Genoa fans, but to disgust Sampdoria fans, sprinkle salt on their wounds.

Now Genoa fans have turned this up again, so they naturally dug up Sampdoria's scabbed wounds and sprinkle salt again...

In response, Sampdoria fans expressed their "thank you" with huge boos.

Before the game begins, players from both sides will be introduced one by one on the live broadcast.

Every Genoa player gets booing, while every Sampdoria player hears a bigger cheer than usual home games.

As soon as the cheers were heard, the songs rang, turning the stadium into a concert of ten thousand people.

The game hasn't started yet, and today's Malasi Stadium is already more noisy than before.

The players on both sides who were standing in the player channel waiting to appear were also excited earlier than usual.

This is the Derby.

There are many games in a season, but none of them can be compared with the same city derby, even if it is a championship battle or a relegation battle.

In the eyes of fans, Derby's status is indestructible and even sacred.

From a certain perspective, a city with a derby is happy, because no matter how the team performs, at least there are two games this season that are worth everyone’s expectations and will make people’s heart beat faster.

Amid the huge singing voice, the referee led the players of both sides out of the passage, and they were greeted by instant transformation cheers and sporadic booing.

"Videos! Players from both sides have appeared! We saw Gao Zheng, who was at the end of the team, which will be the first adult-level 'beacon derby' he participated in! Judging from his expression, he seemed very calm, that's right! It seems that the battle of words with Antonio Donnarumma before the game did not affect him!" Liu Hong's excited voice spread to thousands of households in China through the TV and satellite signals.

Although it was 2:40 in the morning in China at this time, there were still many fans waiting in front of the TV, waiting to watch this "Lighthouse Derby".

As one of the four most famous derbys in Italy, the "Beacon Derby" is actually not well-known among many Chinese fans, and many people have never heard of it before. After all, whether it is Sampdoria or Genoa, the number of fans in China is very limited. In the past, everyone didn't care about their derbys, and their brains were all played out, and Chinese fans who are thousands of miles away turned a deaf ear.

However, everyone talked about the Milan Derby and the Italian National Derby. Because of Juventus, the Turin Derby is quite well-known.

It is the "Lighthouse Derby". The promotion in China is really entirely up to Gao Zheng. This week, various domestic media have been constantly teaching fans how awesome the "Lighthouse Derby" is, and it is known as the four major Italian derbys... As long as it is a sports media, if you don't say "Lighthouse Derby", but say "Genoa derby", it seems like it is not as good as it is.

※※※

All the ceremonies before the game were held in the interweaving of singing and booing. Sampdoria fans should support their team with singing, while Genoa fans should try their best to create noise to interfere with Sampdoria's cheers. Before the game on the field began, the fans of both sides were already having fun. If they started to squirt each other when they were placed, what if they still had the energy at this time?

Genoa, who played away, finally got the kick-off.

The captains of the two teams, Daniele Gastadro and Bosco Jankovic, exchanged team flags with each other, shook hands and took a photo with the referee team.

Then, back to their respective teams, the players on both sides have already stood in their own half and are ready.

Genoa's forwards, Siro Immobile and Boreno, stood in the middle circle, stepped on the football under their feet, and prepared to kick off.

Deafening boo sounded in the stands, and the booed boo were given to Boreno, the player who once played for Sampdoria, became the public enemy in the minds of Sampdoria fans because of his criticism of Gao Zheng before the game.

Gao Zheng, who caused all this, stood outside the central circle and looked at Boreno and Immobile.

With the whistle of the referee Paul Silvio Mazolani, the 87th "Beacon Derby" in history kicked the curtain with boos!

With Genoa getting the ball after the kick-off, the sky above the Marasi court was almost shrouded in booing and it never dispersed for a long time.

Boosters can create interference and trouble for players, but in a derby game with adrenaline surges, boosters can also make hostile players quickly excited and enter the rhythm of the game.

So Genoa took advantage of this opportunity to get the ball and quickly advanced to the front of Sampdoria's penalty area, and then Immobile completed a shot.

The football slightly slid out of the goal post, which shocked the Sampdoria fans in the stands to exclaim.

Genoa fans in the North Stand cheered and applauded the team's performance.

This game is not allowed to be lost for Genoa. They have lost five consecutive times, currently ranked 18th in the league and have entered the relegation zone. If they lose to Sampdoria again, they may become the last one...

The team's current head coach Dernello took over the team on the 22nd last month. His ex Gi Dicanho led the team to a poor performance, and the direct fuse was a 2-4 loss to Roma. Genoa scored two goals in the first fifteen minutes of the game. The situation was very good. Roma scored twice before the end of the first half, equalizing the score, and scoring two more goals in the second half, completely reversing and losing a good game.

After the game, Genoa's chairman Precios was furious and Decanho was dismissed directly.

Delnery has been at home since leaving Juventus' head coach last summer.

When he coached Chiwo, he brought "Flying Donkey" into Serie A, making this team a big dark horse that is famous in Italian football. He has been a very powerful team for several consecutive seasons. His tactical style is fast, simple and practical, and mainly focuses on defensive counterattacks.

However, since he took over the team, Genoa has lost four consecutive games, so Dernell is under great pressure.

Before the game, Sampdoria was rumored that if Di Francisco lost the "Lighthouse Derby", he might be dismissed. This is at least the rumors that he was denied.

But there was real news from Genoa that Precios gave Dernelli a death order and could not win Sampdoria, so he got out.

So when the TV broadcast footage swept into Dernelli, he frowned and was under a lot of pressure.
