Although Icardi was full of fighting spirit and wanted to continue to win and lose with Gao Zheng, the first half ended not long after Gao Zheng equalized the score.

Affected by this goal loss, the Inter Milan players who ended up had no smiles on their faces.

Toshir on the rostrum seemed to have received a reminder from Morati, and his expression was still normal.

When Inter Milan fans come to take a photo with him, he always meets their request with a smile.

Some fans asked him loudly during the photo group: "We will win, right, sir?"

Toshir nodded and gave the other party a firm answer: "Yes, we will win!"

Although he lost a goal in the first half, he is still confident of winning this game, after all, this is Inter Milan's home court.

Losing that ball is just a small twist and turns and will not affect the final result.

The fifteen-minute halftime break passed quickly. After a few rounds of advertising, the players on both sides reappeared on the court and changed sides and fought again.

Neither team made substitution adjustments in the midfield.

Tactical changes have not changed from the first half.

Mazari must have re-encouraged the team's morale during the half-time break, so at the beginning of the second half, Inter Milan launched a fierce offensive against Sampdoria's goal, as if he hoped to score again in the first few minutes and lead again.

Di Francisco was also prepared for this, arranged for the team to stabilize the defense and deal with Inter Milan patiently.

Inter Milan's offense is relatively easy to let go, because they often directly look for forward players, and there is no transition or organization in the midfield.

Just defend against the two strikers Alvarez and Icardi.

Although Icardi's performance in this game was different from last season, when shooting, he was still the former teammate familiar to Sampdoria's defenders, so it was not difficult to defend him.

Although the second half started ten minutes, football was still spinning in Sampdoria's halftime, but the threat to Sampdoria's goal was not great.

In the 57th minute, Sampdoria made a long pass in the backcourt to counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Gao Zheng relied on his personal ability to get rid of Inter Milan's defensive player in the frontcourt, but was knocked to the ground by Cambiasola. The referee Russo gave a verbal warning to Cambiaso and gave Sampdoria a free kick in the frontcourt.

Although this free kick is about 40 meters away from the goal, it is difficult to directly threaten the goal guarded by Handanovic, but it allows Sampdoria to get rid of the situation where he has been hit by Inter Milan before. They can finally push the ball into the opponent's defensive third zone.

This is the role of Gao Zheng in the counterattack. Even if he cannot dribble the ball and hit Huanglong directly and score goals for the team, he can also use his skills to obtain free kicks in the midfield for his team, allowing the team to use this method to advance.

After Gao Zheng handed over the free kick to his teammates, he ran to the near the penalty area.

A central defender like Alberto Masi also ran up and prepared to compete for the top spot.

After Sampdoria's free kick was taken, Masi did win the ball in the penalty area, but he did not shoot by himself, but instead flew the football to Gao Zheng nearby.

Gao Zheng used his chest to slightly pad the ball from Maxi, and then volleyed directly without waiting for the football to land!

The football hit the crossbar and popped up the bottom line!

A huge breathing sound came from the stands at the Meacha Stadium. It was obvious that Inter Milan fans were frightened by the kick.

"Oh! The crossbar! It's so dangerous! Sampdoria almost overtakes the score!" Caresa exclaimed.

"Ahhhh! Crossbeam! Crossbeam ruthlessly stopped Gao Zheng's goal!" Liu Hong was very regretful.

Gao Zheng, who had no goal, shook his head, and then he gave Masi a thumbs up and praised him for his header just now.

As a result, Massi was even more regretful than him. He held his head with both hands and looked like he had just shot the ball on the crossbar.

Gao Zheng's ball did scare Inter Milan very much, so when Inter Milan attacked, their offensive became particularly crazy.

Icardi soon completed a header in Sampdoria's penalty area, and was pushed out of the crossbar by Romero with his fingertips.

"Icardi ahhhh! Romero made a wonderful save! Gao Gang hit the football on the crossbar with one kick, and Icardi immediately returned the favor! It's hard to believe that the two of them were teammates..." Caresa exclaimed and sighed.

"It turns out that Icardi who has left the high will develop better, and that's the evidence." Bergomi said.

In the next corner kick, Icardi also got a chance to shoot, but this time he missed the football and did not threaten Sampdoria's goal.

Gao Zheng's crossbar seemed to sound an alarm for Inter Milan, and then Inter Milan kept pressing against Sampdoria to play, wanting to score a goal as soon as possible and take the lead.

Icardi was very active and did cause some trouble for Sampdoria.

But he never scored a goal.

Sampdoria used its occasional counterattack to harass Inter Milan's goal.

The game time passed quickly and the seventy-fifth minute soon came.

Fifteen minutes before the end of the game, the physical fitness of both sides also reached a critical point, especially Sampdoria.

They just went away to play a Champions League match three days ago, and the bench was not thick enough, so the players' physical fitness problems occurred.

Di Francisco had to dispatch troops to ensure the running of the entire team by substitution.

In this way, the Sampdoria player on the field still had cramps.

In one defense, Gastadro kicked the ball out of the sideline before Icardi. Then he fell to the ground and leaned against the forefoot with both hands and he cramped.

"Gastadro seems to have cramped... As the captain of the team, he has been fighting for cramps. You can imagine how much pressure Inter Milan has brought to them. Now Di Francisco's strategy seems to be to stick to the end of the game. Being able to tie Inter Milan away and get one point is already a victory for Sampdoria... Of course, Inter Milan will definitely not agree. So in the next fifteen minutes, the game should be closer to a white-hot..." Carresa analyzed.

While teammates went up to help Gastadro with their legs, there were a lot of booing in the stands of the Meacha Stadium.

Inter Milan fans must think that Sampdoria is taking advantage of this opportunity to delay time, and it is hard to say whether Gastadro has cramps.

Since Sampdoria equalized the score, Inter Milan has been in a fierce offensive, but has not been able to score a goal. The patience of the fans has also disappeared little by little. Before, they could still have a relaxed attitude and were full of confidence in the team, believing that no matter what twists and turns encountered in the middle, the final victory will definitely belong to Inter Milan.

But now, with fifteen minutes left in the game and the score is still 1:1, many people are not so calm.

While Gastadro was cramping, the TV broadcast gave Tohill a close-up shot on the rostrum.

The rich Indonesian businessman who was still very focused at the beginning of the game and often responded to the game on the court was sitting quietly on the chair at this time. He lowered his eyes to look at the watch on his wrist. It was really easy for people to mistakenly think that he was already asleep...

The game during this period is indeed not exciting. Faced with Sampdoria's intensive defense, Inter Milan has no good idea. The game scene is neither intense nor exciting, and it is no wonder that the new boss is a little bored.
