Chapter 394 Captain
After the equalization, Roma did have a strong morale. When the game started again, they continued to attack Sampdoria's goal.
Originally, the Roman team coached by Rudy Garcia was very good at attacking. Now when they were fully fired, Sampdoria's defense line suddenly looked like a small boat bumping up and down in the wind and waves. It was thrown to the top of the waves from time to time, and then was slapped into the waves.
It makes people frightened to see it, fearing that the next wave will fall, and the boat will turn into a pile of broken materials and float on the sea.
Although the sailors on the deck gritted their teeth to fight against the wind and waves, they were not sure in their hearts when facing the furious nature. They didn't know how long they could resist such an operation, or that this resistance was futile at all, and they could not escape the fate of death in the end.
And so, the only reason why they did not give up was that their captain had not given up yet.
Every sailor turned his eyes to their captain. Although he was young, he saved the lives of the entire ship on the unpredictable sea countless times.
He has won the trust and respect of the most picky sailors with his practical actions.
Therefore, the reason why these sailors are so embarrassed and painful is never let go. They are waiting for the captain to make the right choice and help them escape from danger.
But this is full of uncertainty and risks.
It is very likely that the ship was torn to pieces by the violent sea before their captain could take action.
But this is the fate of the sailors. They have been fighting the sea all their lives, and the result is nothing more than two: either they defeat the sea or they are buried at the bottom of the sea. But even if they are buried at the bottom of the sea, it is their inevitable destination.
They know the horrors of the sea better than anyone else, but they face the sea more bravely than anyone else.

"Roma's offensive was fierce, Sampdoria's goal was in danger, and the cheers of the fans of the Olympic Stadium were rising and falling... If Sampdoria didn't do anything, it would be dangerous!"
"It's hard to say. Maybe giving up the Italian Cup is more in the interests of Sampdoria's team?" Bergomi said.
"In that case, why do you still have to line up such a lineup?"
"Don't want to make giving up the game so obvious..." Bergomi guessed. "After all, it's not reasonable to give up an event naked, so on the one hand, you have to do it, and on the other hand, you hope that the team will lose the game. You see, like now, you scored a goal in the game and took the lead. In the end, Roma lost all his strength. It's obviously better than sending a group of substitutes and youth team players to lose the game simply..."
Caresa didn't say anything, but he felt that what Bergomi said made sense.
Perhaps this is exactly what Di Francesco wants to create.
When everyone saw Sampdoria's lineup, they were deceived by this set of main lineups, and their minds were full of whether Sampdoria wanted to make a difference in the Italian Cup...
But in fact, Di Francesco still has no intention of giving up the Italian Cup.
However, this method of giving up is indeed much more clever than before.
Last season, Sampdoria was eliminated in the first round of the Italian Cup, and told everyone nakedly that their goal in that season was the league and that no other game would interfere with the team's relegation career... Of course, the final result was indeed very good. Without the interference of the Italian Cup, Sampdoria not only successfully relegated, but also won the third place in the league and entered the Champions League this season.
However, Sampdoria was a new team at that time, so it didn't matter if she gave up this event in the first round of the Italian Cup.
But now they are the third place in the league, so it may not be very reasonable if they are so naked.
So next Sampdoria should start to replace the main players and prepare for the next league?
The TV broadcast was sent to Sampdoria head coach Di Francesco. Seeing the young coach's expression was calm, he seemed not in a hurry.
This deepened Caresa and Bergomi's judgment on Sampdoria's purpose.
※※※
Of course, Di Francesco was not so calm because he had to give up this game, but because he calmed down after seeing Gao Zheng's smile.
He knew that Gao Zheng loved to laugh, but he knew that if he encountered difficulties and Gao Zheng laughed, it meant that this super genius was about to become big...
If that's the case, what else can he worry about?
All he has to do now is to calm down and pass on this heart to his players, and the rest is to watch Gao Zheng perform.
Rome's offensive was still very fierce, but Di Francisco began to pay attention to the gap behind Rome after every attack.
※※※
Gao Zheng was also paying attention to the space behind Rome.
As the center forward, he was at the forefront, but in order not to offside, he returned to his half. There were basically only two Roma's central defenders in front of him, and their full-backs were pressed to participate in the attack.
And they don’t come back to participate in defense every time they finish off the offense, but they will continue to stay in the frontcourt and wait for the next offensive opportunity.
There is no problem with them doing this, because Sampdoria rarely plays halfway through the counterattack. With the offensive momentum shown by Roma now, Sampdoria basically only has the ability to resist and has no power to fight back.
This is good news for me.
The bad news is that Roma's offensive is too strong and the two sides are pressing up, so both Berardi and Zaza have contracted deeply in defense and cannot rush up to meet him in a short period of time.
If he had a chance to fight back, he had a high chance of fighting alone.
However, he used to do a lot of things like riding alone in the Milan youth team... It was not too difficult.
※※※
Toti took the ball outside the penalty area, and his teammates were actively running. He made a fake move to pass the football, but suddenly made a cold arrow and chose to shoot a long shot.
This shot was abrupt and of high quality.
Although Romero jumped up and made a save, he did not encounter football.
Fortunately, the football ended up hitting the crossbar!
A huge sigh came from the stands at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, feeling sorry for Toti's failure to score the ball.
"Torti crossbar! Oh! What a pity! What a wonderful shot! The quality of this long shot is so high that Romero is almost surrendering, but the crossbar saves him!"
The football hit the crossbar and did not bounce out of the bottom line, but rebounded back to the court.
The players on both sides didn't care about anything else. Sampdoria wanted to clear the football, while Roma had to win the second place and reorganize the offense.
Alberto Masi, who was regained this game, jumped high on the edge of the penalty area, and before the Roma players, he tried hard to push the football to the midfield.
This is a pure clearance. It would be nice if he could push the football out. He didn't even bother to consider who would get the ball after pushing it out.
Even if Roma gets the ball, they can't catch the ball so close to the goal.
Alberto Masi's header was very powerful, and the football flew straight to the sideline near the center line.
Gao Zheng, who was originally in the middle circle, followed the landing point and ran over to catch the ball.
Roma immediately had a central defender Burdiso following from behind, intending to hold Gao Zheng while he was stopping the ball. At the same time, Roma's midfielder De Rossi was also running back from the front and approaching Burdiso, intending to attack Gao Zheng from the front and back.
In this case, Gao Zheng's best way is to turn the football back and pass it back to the Sampdorian player he can see. As long as Roma doesn't get the landing point as soon as possible and reorganize the attack, he will complete the task.
The next thing is not what he, a center, should consider.
Gao Zheng, who ran to the landing point, looked back and determined Burdiso's position. At the same time, De Rossi was about to rush to him.
Gao Zheng slightly raised his right foot, as if he was about to stop the ball.
De Rossi accelerated and rushed up with a quick step.
The football fell down, but Gao Zheng did not stop the football, but used the inside of his right foot to knock the falling football to the left rear of his body!
Football rushed past Burdiso.
At the same time, Gao Zheng did not stay where he was. When he knocked the football over, he turned around and started to accelerate and broke out from the encirclement of Burdiso and De Rossi!
When De Rossi rushed up, he was unable to stop Gao Zheng. On the contrary, he almost collided with Burdiso.
Finally, their common goal, Gao Zheng, had completed the turn and start, accelerated to catch up with the football, and led the football to Rome's second half!
"Hao! Beautiful stopping get rid of the ball!! He played with Burdiso and De Rossi! Sampdoria's counterattack!!"
Chapter completed!
