Chapter 383 A little surprise
Inter Milan and Sampdoria were simply a carnival in the Italian media after the game. There are so many gimmicks to be hyped up for this game.
Toshir's throne ceremony was actually ruined, and Gao Zheng won a head-on duel with Icardi.
What Gao Zheng said in an interview after the game also became prominent in major media.
Genoa's "Nineteenth Century" praised Gao Zheng for his strong overall view: "...Nothing is more important than the team's interests. Gao once again proved this unbreakable truth with practical actions. When facing Icardi's challenge, Gao passed the ball to Berardi with a better position. This selflessness alone is enough to make him worthy of all the praise! I don't know how many forwards can still put the overall situation first when facing fierce competition, thinking about ensuring the team's victory first and then calculating personal grievances, but Gao showed us He has shown his noble character... In fact, he has shown it once last season. When the club lost its beloved chairman, facing a storm, Icardi resolutely left. Gao faced more temptations than anyone else, but he chose to stay... He had no need to do this, he would never worry about where to go, but he still stayed. He said that the fans and teammates here were very nice to him, so he was willing to stay, but in fact, our love for him is far less than the contribution he has made to us!"
This article written by Frechello almost praised Gao Zheng as a saint.
But no one will feel numb. In the minds of all Sampdoria fans, Gao Zheng is like this, and Frechero said nothing wrong.
If Gao Zheng hadn't stayed, Sampdoria's results this season could be imagined that they would not even be able to pass the Champions League qualifiers, let alone defeating A and Inter Milan in the league, ranking seventh.
Even if the others and media who were unhappy with Gao Zheng were not satisfied with him, they would not find any fault in the face of Gao Zheng's performance.
He can not only win the personal showdown with Icardi, but also help the team defeat Inter Milan. His personal abilities are quite outstanding, but he also puts the overall situation first. He scores two goals and one assist. How can he pick on such a performance?
If you forcefully criticize it, it will only make people disgusted.
So this time, neither the "Milan Sports" nor the "Turin Sports" or the "Roman Sports" did not criticize Gao Zheng's performance after the game.
Of course, it is not easy to let them say good things about Gao Zheng, so overall, the report on Gao Zheng must be a bit dull.
In the eyes of many people who support Gao Zheng and like Gao Zheng, these media's "blackness" towards Gao Zheng has aroused their dissatisfaction.

"Gao Zheng's level is better than Serie A, and he is really condescending in Sampdoria!"
The title on the web page that opened on Feng Shiyao's computer screen was very eye-catching, but her attention was not on this horrifying news, but she took out her cell phone and dialed the number on her business card.
After searching online, she confirmed that the middle-aged man who was looking for her last night was the producer of the "Super Good" music talent show. There were many news reports, interview videos and photos, exactly the same as the person yesterday.
After confirming that the other party was a real guy, Feng Shiyao did not hesitate whether to sign up for the talent show.
She ran away from home and chose to work alone in this strange metropolis for why? Is it really for this foreign trade company's clerk job?
Of course it is to pursue her musical dream.
Now this opportunity is in front of her, what else can I hesitate about?
She knew that this road was not easy to walk on, and even if she participated in the draft, it did not mean that she would definitely succeed.
But think about how Gao Zheng pursued his football dream at the beginning. Now Gao Zheng is already a great hero in the minds of Chinese fans in China. When he hid in his mentor's football training class, his future was completely dark.
Feng Shiyao felt that she should have sent Gao Zheng a WeChat message, thanking him for giving him the courage and strength.
But she still didn't do that.
She thought to thank Gao Zheng when she achieved a little result, so that she might be more confident.

After the match against Inter Milan, there is another Italian Cup match waiting for Sampdoria.
Serie A teams only started to participate in the Italian Cup in the third round, but Sampdoria was eliminated in the first round of the Cup last season, so there was no Italian Cup in the entire season.
This time it was different. Although he lost players such as Poly and Icardi, after a season of Serie A, even with the substitute, Sampdoria still defeated Benavento 2-0 at home, successfully approaching the fourth round of the cup.
That's what happened on August 17th.
Now in the fourth round of the Italian Cup, Sampdoria's opponent is Verona, a team that is also Serie A.
Despite breaking into the fourth round, Di Francesco's attitude towards the Italian Cup was very clear, and he just wanted to say "giving up".
Although the team was eliminated in the first round of the Cup last season, it was a good thing for the team. Because this allowed the team to only focus on the league in the next long season and not have to fight on both sides. So in the end, Sampdoria achieved a good result of the third place in the league and was qualified to participate in the Champions League. If they had to play in the Italian Cup at the same time, they might not have achieved satisfactory results in the end, either in the cup or in the league.
This season, Sampdoria has already played in the league and the Champions League, so the Italian Cup has naturally become a match that is not as good as a game. It is a pity to eat it, but the Italian Cup can be given up.
After just finished the game against Inter Milan, the next league game is followed by a qualifying match with Ajax in the Champions League group. This Italian Cup against Verona is a good opportunity for the main players to rest.
Gao Zheng simply didn't even make the big list.
If this Italian Cup is eliminated, no one will think there is anything wrong with it, let alone surprise.
But what is surprising is that Sampdoria, who played on the bench, actually swept Verona 4:1 at home and advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup...
This is a bit embarrassing.
I agreed to give up, but the team went further.
So, will you still have to give up in the next round of the eighth finals?
Di Francesco had to rethink his position on the Italian Cup.
Of course, this is all the next thing, and the most urgent task now is to qualify in the Champions League group.
Three days after the Italian Cup, Sampdoria welcomed Catania at home.
This game is different from the last Italian Cup. Di Francesco did not let all substitutes come out, but instead took turns.
Gao Zheng played in this game, but he didn't play the whole game and was replaced in advance in the 65th minute.
Even so, he still gave his teammates an assist before the game, helping Sampdoria lead the opponent 1:0.
Bozi, who appeared on the bench, scored a goal before the end of the game.
In the end, Sampdoria defeated Catania 2-0 at home.
After this game, Sampdoria will usher in the last game of the Champions League group stage at home.
Chapter completed!
