After losing to Atlanta, Sampdoria ushered in another match against Verona a week later.

This time, Di Francesco still did not let all the main players start, but instead adopted a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

This arrangement is quite strange, because the next one is not the Champions League, and there is still one league game in the middle of the Champions League. So why doesn’t Di Francisco let all the main players play in this game, and then rotate in the next round of the league to let the main players rest and prepare for the Champions League?

With such questions, the person who looked at Sampdoria's opponent in the next round of the league, and suddenly realized it.

Because after playing Verona, Sampdoria will welcome Sassuolo at home!

Some people who have just become Gao Zheng fans may be puzzled, but as long as they are Sampdoria fans, no one does not know the story between Gao Zheng and Sampdoria and Sassuolo.

From this perspective, Di Francesco's arrangement was completely reasonable.

This is Sassuolo. Even if the next is the Champions League group stage to challenge Barcelona away, Sampdoria will definitely not let Sassuolo go.

You should know that Gao Zheng made a harsh word at the beginning, and when he saw Sassuolo, he would beat him hard.

Unexpectedly, one season later, the two teams actually met in the Serie A.

Moreover, Berardi also played in Sassuolo before. This game is also the first time for him to face his old club directly after transferring to Sampdoria.

So this game is indeed full of gimmicks.

Sampdoria, who played in Verona's semi-main, finally tied with Verona 1:1.

Next is the home game against Sassuolo.

Before the game, the grudge between Gao Zheng and Sassuolo was re-explained by the media.

Everyone revisited the classic story of how Sassuolo let Gao Zheng go without eyes, and in turn, he was kicked back to the second division by Gao Zheng in the final of the upgraded playoffs.

On Sassuolo, the previous story has been erased, focusing on the hatred between Gao Zheng and Sassuolo. If it weren't for Gao Zheng, Sassuolo would have been successfully upgraded one season ahead of schedule. As a result, he has been in the second division for one more season now.

Fortunately, they rose up. This time they met Gao Zheng and Sampdoria, so they must take revenge.

The good news for Sassuolo is that if they can cause enough trouble to Sampdoria in this game and consume Sampdoria's strength greatly, then when Sampdoria challenged Barcelona away, would he be afraid that he would suffer a crushing defeat?

You know, Barcelona was so angry that he failed to beat Sampdoria away and even scored a goal by Gao Zheng.

At that time, everyone will vent on Sampdoria at home. I don’t know if Sampdoria can withstand it…

At the thought of this, Sassuolo's supporters were very excited.

They couldn't wait to see the tragic situation of Sampdoria suffering now and being pressed to the ground by Barcelona.

After Gao Zheng finished training, a reporter who liked to cause trouble ran to him and asked him: "Gao, Gao, you said you would beat Sassuolo once and beat him hard. Isn't it still effective?"

Gao Zheng smiled brightly: "Free in the long run."

Some people may think that Gao Zheng’s resentment towards Sassuolo is mainly because Sassuolo abandoned him.

Although there are reasons for this, the escalation to the level of "long-term effectiveness" is mainly because of the reporter's wanton insult to the Chinese.

When you are alone outside, some things will become very sensitive. Even if you are scolded by others, Gao Zheng insists that his approach is right.

If others insult you, why can’t you fight back? If you fight back, you will be scolded for being humble, inferior, and self-indulgent?

How can there be such a reason for the butt to bend to the sky in the world?

Since Sassuolo does not know how to respect his motherland, as a Chinese, he naturally needs to make a statement.

Gao Zheng did not have a lofty patriotism. He just thought that he was a Chinese. The other party scolding Chinese was like scolding himself, so he would definitely fight back.

After Gao Zheng's "long-term effective" promise was reported by the media, Leonardo Giovanetti, a reporter from The Sassuolo Issue, sent a tweet, writing: "Gao's performance in the game against Barcelona shocked me. He broke through Barcelona's defense alone, and it can be said that his light even overshadowed Messi. I couldn't help but applaud and cheer for Gao. From today on, I am a Gao fan and a proud Chinese!"

His statement surprised many people because everyone knew the grudge between Leonardo Giovanetti and Gao Zheng.

Because of Giovanetti and Gao Zheng have not accepted interviews with The Sassuolo News until now. Because of Giovanetti, Gao Zheng, who was furious at the time, gave Sassuolo a lesson on the football field. The final result was that Sassuolo failed to advance to the Armies under the good situation of escalation.

This price is heartbreaking for Sassuolo fans and the club.

After all, failure to advance to the League is not only a competitive loss for the club, but also a major economic loss.

Although the club owner Skunzi didn't say anything, he wouldn't have any less hatred for Gao Zheng.

The beginning of this matter was actually the personal grudge between Giovanetti and Gao Zheng. At that time, Giovanetti accused Sampdoria of deliberately losing to Sassuolo's upgraded rival Pescara, in order to get Sassuolo from the top two in the league to the third place who needs to participate in the upgrade play-offs.

This conspiracy theory was of course protested by Sampdoria players and journalists supporting Sampdoria.

At that time, two Chinese journalists stood up to speak for Sampdoria, but Giovanetti was targeted, mocking the Chinese for not knowing what "freedom of speech" means.

This sentence angered Gao Zheng, and then everything that happened later.

With their conflict, Giovanetti was afraid that he would suddenly show weakness to Gao Zheng before Sassuolo and Sampdoria?

Everyone thought about what Giovanetti said. On the surface, it seemed to be praising Gao Zheng, but when it comes to the grudge between the two, the more people look at it, the more they feel that Giovanetti is clearly irritating.

Sure enough, at this moment, Giovanetti posted a new tweet, accompanied by a picture, which was his own selfie. In the photo, Giovanetti reached out to pull the corner of his eyes online, pulling his eyes into a slit.

The matching text is: "Now I am a proud Chinese! I love China!"

The comments on this new tweet were suddenly in an uproar.

Gao Zheng received a picture from his agent Viviano, which was a selfie with Giovanetti's squinting eyes.

"That idiot is causing trouble again?" Gao Zheng asked frowned.

“That’s right.”

"Give me the link address."

"Okay!" Viviano immediately posted a link.

Soon, netizens found Gao Zheng’s comment under Giovanetti’s tweet: “It seems that I haven’t seen each other for a season, and Mr. Giovanetti’s memory has deteriorated to the point of fish. Do you ask the Sassuolo Club for such a provocation before the game against Sampdoria? If a failure is what you hope to bring to Sassuolo, then as you wish, you are stupid.”
