There are many different opinions about Sampdoria's main players and eliminating Roma 2:1 away from home, and everyone's opinions are not consistent.

Even among Sampdoria's supporters, some felt that Di Francesco's choice was not wise.

So after winning the ball this time, it was not one-sided cheering.

Some fans expressed their concerns through the Internet and received many echoes and approvals from people.

These people have a very consistent view, that is, it is a waste to devote their energy to the Italian Cup.

It also increases risks.

The Italian Cup cannot be matched with the Champions League. The league is very good. When there is a conflict between the two sides, who should give up and who should protect whom?

If you want to give up the Italian Cup, but if you are close to the finals at that time, is it a pity to give up? Why don’t you give up cleanly now?

Anyway, many people can't figure out why Sampdoria was so tough in the Italian Cup this time.

After the game, a reporter also interviewed Di Francesco's question, and Di Francesco asked: "Isn't victory a thing worthy of happiness and celebration?"

The reporter was so choked that he didn't know what to say.

Of course, not everyone can't understand why Sampdoria did this.

Even the majority of people who recognize Sampdoria are still recognized.

As Di Francesco said, victory is always a good thing, and who wouldn't like to win?

As for the final thing, we will talk about it later.

Moreover, even if you want to give up the Italian Cup, you can't do it too nude. No matter what, the Italian Cup is an event held by the Italian Football Association, and you still have to give face to the Football Association.

It would be fine if you use the substitute youth team to deal with it casually in the first few rounds of the Cup. It's too unreasonable to play in the quarterfinals of 16 and still be so perfunctory.

Although everyone knows in their heart that the Italian Cup cannot be compared with the league, some things have to be done concealedly.

It's too obvious that it won't work.

So Sampdoria's approach is fine, and the Champions League knockout stage has not started yet, so there is no need to give up the Italian Cup in order to save strength and avoid multi-line combat. In fact, Sampdoria's approach is normal now, but it is because their initial approach to giving up the Italian Cup was too obvious, which made everyone's surprise now.

And although Sampdoria passed Roma, they are actually likely to end in this season's Italian Cup.

Because after the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup were released, the results of the draw grouping tell everyone that Sampdoria's opponent in the next round is Juventus, who is now ranked No. 1 in the league.

That's not a good opponent.

After playing against Roma's Italian Cup, Sampdoria welcomed a match against Udinese at home. They continued their last game with Roma's lineup.

In the end, Sampdoria, who was still playing for the main players, defeated Udinese 3-0 at home.

Next, Sampdoria will have two consecutive games against Juventus.

In the 20th round of the league, he challenged Juventus away, followed by the Italian Cup quarter-finals, facing Juventus at home.

The opponents in both games are the same, but Sampdoria's attitude is completely different.

In fact, in the game against Udinese at home, you can see what Di Francesco is playing against Roma and Udinese. In two consecutive games, Sampdoria played all the main players. It is impossible for Juventus to have all the main players in the league, right?

This is a away game. Even if all the main players want to win, it will not be easy for the first round of the league. Sampdoria lost to Juventus 0-1 at home, and the failure of this league can even be said to be within the plan.

So in the 20th round of the league match against Juventus, Sampdoria only played half of the main players and made rotation adjustments to the lineup.

The reason why it is not a full substitute is because Di Francisco hopes to use this game to train the team and prepare for the next Italian Cup.

So although the lineup is not the strongest, everyone is still very serious and does not think that this game can be lost.

If you have to lose in the end, then you will be inferior to others after trying your best.

Gao Zheng did not appear, but sat on the bench.

This disappointed the Chinese fans who were determined to watch his game.

Eighteen minutes into the first half, Juventus' Chilean midfielder Vidal took the lead for the team and helped Juventus lead 1:0.

Six minutes later, Juventus' Spanish center Llorente expanded the team's lead, and Juventus led Sampdoria 2:0.

Although they lost two goals in a short period of time, Sampdoria was still very tenacious. They did not completely collapse because they lost two goals in six minutes.

In the 38th minute, Sampdoria launched a successful offensive, forcing Juventus' central defender Barzali to make a mistake in his busy schedule and scored an own goal.

The score became 2:1. Although it was still behind, it gave people a completely different feeling.

Before the end of the first half, Vidal scored twice, helping Juventus expand its lead to two goals again.

The second half just started, and Di Francisco replaced Gao Zheng on the court, not necessarily because he wanted the team to win Juventus away, but just wanted to get the lineup in and let Gao Zheng find the feeling.

However, Gao Zheng's effect on the field was still immediate.

In the 69th minute, Gao Zheng received an assist from his teammate and scored a goal for Sampdoria.

This is his 13th league goal this season, and he only has one goal less than Fiorentina's scorer Giusepperossi in the scorer list.

After Gao Zheng scored, Sampdoria and Juventus played very well.

Perhaps because of his relaxed mentality, Sampdoria simply fought against the opponent at home with only one goal behind Juventus.

Di Francisco also used all three substitutions early, and did not leave any backup for himself.

This game is just a free-spirited game, allowing the players to play, and see what they can play in the end, and prepare and lay the groundwork for the next second showdown with Juventus.

Gao Zheng scored the goal in the 69th minute. In the remaining twenty minutes, the two sides played back and forth very lively and the scene was also very exciting.

In such an open game, in the 78th minute, Juventus' home player Pogba suddenly made a cold arrow when receiving Vidal's pass and shot a long shot to break through Sampdoria's goal again.

The score was rewritten to 4:2, with Juventus leading at home.

However, this goal conceding did not affect the morale and fighting spirit of Sampdoria players.

In the next ten minutes of game time, they continued to attack unremittingly, as if the gap between the two balls had not affected them at all.

This also made the Juventus players who thought they would win a little nervous. Even though they were already two goals ahead, they still didn't dare to relax in the last ten minutes of the game.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Juventus 2:4 after a 2-4 victory.
