Outside the Malasi Stadium the next day, when there were five hours before the start of the game, many Sampdoria fans could be seen gathering here.

Everyone knows that they can't enter the stadium so early, but they still can't help but come here in advance, hoping to enter the stadium as soon as possible.

For Sampdoria, it has been a long time since she met a real strong team in the Champions League.

Although the Celtics are a super giant in Scotland and have won the Champions League, in the eyes of many people, they are not considered to be the top giant in Europe.

The glory of Ajax in the past was also brilliant, but now they are in decline, so no one will remember their strength back then.

Only Barcelona is just like the peak of the sky, and there are also world's top superstars like Leo Messi in the formation.

Only such an opponent can make people feel the difference between the Champions League and the League - you will definitely not meet Barcelona in the league.

Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are both European-level giants, but they give people the feeling that they are not as good as Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Perhaps it is because of the overall weakness of Italian football in recent years that even the top Italian domestic giants can't make any moves in Europe.

For example, Juventus, who has dominated the two consecutive domestic leagues, has the Champions League played like this season?

Looking at superstars like Messi and top giants like Barcelona, ​​this is indeed the idea of ​​many Sampdoria fans.

They did not regard Barcelona as their competitors, their competitors were Celtics and Ajax.

So everyone is in a relaxed mood and will not have any requirements for the team's performance and performance. As long as you don't lose too ugly, everyone can actually accept it.

They knew that such things could not be difficult. It was unrealistic to ask Sampdoria to defeat Barcelona at home, and it would only add unnecessary pressure to the team.

When the buses of both teams came outside the Marasi Stadium, Barcelona's buses were also welcomed by fans, just like Sampdoria's buses.

There are even fans wearing Sampdoria jerseys holding Messi's No. 10 jerseys.

After seeing Alves in the bus, he felt as if he had discovered a magical treasure and let Messi see it with a gaze.

Messi looked down through the car window and waved at the Sampdoria fan holding his jersey.

"It's amazing. It's so crazy that it can make opponent fans so crazy. It's really Messi!"

"This is the charm of football, Messi's charm. I believe that when you go to any corner of the world, even in the distant China, there will be countless people who will feel crazy about Messi."

"This is the energy of the King of Ball!"

"I even thought about the topic of the report: The king of football Messi made the opponent fans surrender! What do you think?"

"Not bad! This title is good! This is called 'Win the ball and win people's hearts, and you will have a good harvest on and off the court'!"

"I think your title is pretty good, hahaha!"

A group of text reporters from Barcelona burst into laughter.

Photographers and TV cameramen pointed the cameras at the Sampdoria fan waving Messi's jersey. After defeating Sampdoria, this scene will become the best footnote to the game, and will appear frequently in various media to announce Barcelona's mighty and righteousness.

The mighty man is what Sampdoria said. If they defeated Sampdoria, they were naturally the mighty man.

Benevolence refers to the charm of Barcelona's team, even the opponent's fans, who are willing to drum up and shout for Barcelona.

After all, Barcelona is more than just a football club.

Sampdoria's UEFA Champions League group stage was held at 2:45 am on October 23, Beijing time.

The live TV broadcast began at 2:30.

For Chinese fans, the Champions League is probably the most unfriendly event to them. As the most skilled and tactical event in football today, we can only watch it in the early morning, either staying up late until the start of the game, or lying down early to set an alarm clock and getting up in the middle of the night.

But no matter which one is, it feels very uncomfortable. Not to mention that the Champions League is played in the middle of the week, which is different from the league played on weekends. Everyone still has to go to work the next day.

But despite this, every Champions League day, there are still a large number of Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV to cheer for their favorite teams.

This shows the influence of football in China and the influence of the Champions League in China.

Now, when the Chinese themselves appeared in the Champions League, more people watched the game in the middle of the night. These people were not Sampdoria's fans, but Gao Zheng's fans.

Feng Shiyao's alarm clock rang on time at 2:40. A few seconds later, a pink arm stretched out from under the quilt and grabbed the phone placed on the bedside table. While turning off the alarm clock, Feng Shiyao had already sat up from the bed.

In her pajamas, she got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom, went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water. When she came out of the bathroom, she was already awake, and when she poured a cup of boiling water and brought it back to her room, she placed the cup on the table, turned on the computer, and skillfully found the live broadcast website in her browser favorites, and clicked on the match signal link between Sampdoria and Barcelona.

After waiting for loading, when the screen lights up, she saw a close-up of Gao Zheng. The opening music of the Champions League and the voice of CCTV Sports Channel commentator He Ping: "... Judging from the starting lineup of both sides, both teams have sent the strongest lineup they can send at present. From this point of view, the head coaches of both teams have not lie - Sampdoria head coach Di Francisco said that he would do his best, and Barcelona head coach Martino also said that the team will not underestimate the enemy... In this game, Gao Zheng is the focus of Sampdoria's side. We are very looking forward to what kind of performance Gao Zheng can perform in this conversation with the strong enemy..."

At the same time, in the vast land of China, I don’t know how many people are also guarding the TV or computer, watching the game in various ways.

For them, it was like a holiday, full of exciting expectations.

Gao Zheng stood in the team, and the players from the visiting team Barcelona were coming over to shake hands one by one.

In front of them were numerous journalists, with long spears and short cannons.

When Brazilian fullback Alves shook hands with him, Gao Zheng noticed that he looked at him with a very strange look, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

Gao Zheng felt strange. There was nothing on his face and he didn't understand why Alves had such a behavior.

After Alves, Messi walked up. He raised his head slightly and wiped Gao Zheng's eyes. After the two of them held their hands, they quickly let go, making people wonder if they really held them, or they hit each other - just like other players on both sides who shook hands before the game.

The two of them had neither eye contact nor verbal communication.

He said nothing, touched his palms and then separated.

Messi went to find the next Sampdoria player to shake hands, and Gao Zheng also turned his attention to the next Barcelona player.
Chapter completed!
