Although Sampdoria scored two goals against Juventus, the final score was Juventus defeated Sampdoria 4:2, and the home team had a great advantage.

Moreover, Sampdoria, who has always played defensive counterattacks, fought against Juventus in this game, making people feel that Sampdoria's mind is not about pursuing victory at all, otherwise they should insist on defensive counterattacks away.

In fact, this is a very wise approach. Compared with Juventus and Sampdoria's strength this season, it is very difficult to defeat Juventus away. Instead of wasting physical fitness, it is better to give up cleanly and accumulate strength for other games. This "other game" is definitely not the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup in which Sampdoria will play against Juventus at home.

Many people think that if Sampdoria wants to withdraw from the Italian Cup with relatively decent attitude, then the next quarter-final against Juventus is the best opportunity. After watching Sampdoria loses to Juventus 2:4 away, I'm afraid many people think that Sampdoria loses to Juventus at home in the next Italian Cup.

Unlike last season, Sampdoria's double-winning victory over Juventus, this season Sampdoria's performance against Juventus was not very good.

In the first round of the league, Juventus defeated 1-0 at home, and the league opened the goal.

In the league, Juventus has avenged the revenge of being doubled by Sampdoria last season and returned Sampdoria to a double.

If Sampdoria met AC Milan in the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup, instead of Juventus, everyone would be more interested, that would be the most gimmick game.

Now, it's just an ordinary Italian Cup quarterfinals.

Although Sampdoria eliminated Rome, no one thought Sampdoria could eliminate Juventus.

After all, Juventus is different from Rome.

Roma has performed very well this season under the leadership of new head coach Rudy Garcia. She is currently ranked second in the league and four points ahead of Napoli, who is third.

But they are still far behind Juventus, who is ranked first, seven points behind.

From this difference in score difference, we can see the difference between the two teams.

Moreover, Rome was caught off guard at the beginning. I believe that with Rome's "learning from the past", Juventus should pay more attention to it.

This kind of emphasis does not mean that the strongest lineup will be sent. As long as the mentality of the players and the head coach is slightly adjusted, even if it is a rotation lineup, its strength cannot be underestimated.

Losing to the league's first place in the Italian Cup quarter-finals, Serie A overlord Juventus is not a shame for Sampdoria.

At this time, withdraw, adjust your condition and player physical fitness, and prepare for the Champions League knockout round that will arrive in February. This is probably the wisest way to do it. After all, it is only one month before the Champions League knockout round.

Many people think that even if Sampdoria ranked the same lineup as when she played against Roma in the last round of the eighth-finals, the players' ideas may be different.

Sampdoria players shouldn't really go all out in this game, seeking the possibility of defeating Juventus.

But the actual situation may be a little different from what they thought...

※※※

In the home team locker room at Marassi Stadium, Di Francesco told his players: "I don't quite agree with the opinions outside that we lose to Juventus is a normal result, but I'm glad they said that. Otherwise, how could Juventus have such a lineup in this game?"

He shook the Juventus roster he had just obtained.

"So although I don't agree with their point of view, I swear to defend their right to speak!"

The Sampdoria players in the locker room all laughed.

They all understand what the head coach means.

Just now, the lineups of both sides were released. There was no surprise at Sampdoria, just like when she was against Roma. But this time there were not many people who guessed whether Sampdoria had other plans. After laying the groundwork with Roma, everyone got used to it.

The lineup of Juventus is different from the league that just ended.

In the goalkeeper position, Buffon did not, or even made it into the roster. It was Marco Stolari, the old goalkeeper who was one year older than Buffon, who was Buffon's substitute at Juventus. He only played once in the league this season. Generally speaking, such goalkeeper teams will be arranged to play in the domestic cup as an encouragement for such a loyal substitute.

So he has always been the main goalkeeper in the Italian Cup, and this was the case in the Italian Cup last season.

Even if Juventus faces Sampdoria with Gao Zheng, it is impossible for Buffon to come temporarily. Buffon and the club cannot do such a thing as a substitute opportunity.

So Storari's is the least surprising one.

A little surprised was that Buffon did not make it to the roster. The team's No. 3 goalkeeper was the team's No. 3 goalkeeper, the 31-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Rubinho, was injured at the beginning of this season and had no chance to play for a formal game. Of course, a No. 3 goalkeeper like him generally cannot get a chance to play even if he is not injured.

The back line is still three central defenders, but not Barzali. Bonucci and Chiellini's "bbc" combination of Italian national teams. Barzali and Bonucci are both. Angelo Obonna, a young central defender born in 1988, has transferred from Torino to his city rival Juventus this season. He is on the bench most of the time and can play when the team needs rotation. He has played six times in the league, three times in the Champions League group stage, two times, and one substitute. He is also in the last round of Italian Cup matches.

The same arrangements in the midfield as in the previous league are Vidal and Marcisio, and the remaining three positions have changed. Maolicio Isla replaced Lichsteiner, Federico Peruso replaced Kwadvo Assamoa, and Pirlo replaced Pogba.

Isla and Peruso are both substitutes for the team this season, with very few opportunities to play. The Italian Cup is a stage for them to stay in shape and accumulate game experience.

Pirlo's situation is different from them. As the team's main midfielder, he suffered an injury before, recovered from three rounds, and had just recovered from injury and was still looking for form. Although he entered the bench in the last league against Sampdoria, he did not play.

This game made him replace Pogba, and obviously he still hoped to use the Italian Cup to find his playing form.

The forward partner is Quariarera and Jovenko.

Joe Wenke was able to play the main player in the team last season, playing 31 times in the league, scoring seven goals and making seven assists, and performing well. But his position in the team this season has plummeted. Because Spanish high center Lorent and Manchester City striker Tevez transferred to the ball and performed very well, Joe Wenke's position in the team was threatened.

Qualiarera's condition is similar to Joe Wenco, but he is also affected by injuries.

These two people are basically appearing in the Italian Cup now, which can be regarded as the exclusive front line combination of Juventus' Italian Cup in the last round of the Italian Cup. The two of them appeared together, scoring one goal each, helping Juventus defeat the low-level league team Avilino 3-0.

This lineup is incomparable to the one in the last league against Sampdoria, and it can be regarded as a standard half-main and half-substitute lineup.

But in fact, compared with the last round of Italian Cup, Juventus still expressed his importance to Sampdoria.

In the last game against the low-level league team Avilino, Juventus sent more substitutes and youth team players. This time, considering that Sampdoria is a Serie A team and the third place in the league last season, and the Italian Cup also reached the quarter-finals, Juventus' attitude should be more correct.

But even so, everyone can see Juventus's idea from this list.

First, they do not pay enough attention to the Italian Cup; secondly, they feel that Sampdoria is not very threatening, and there is no need to play in the main lineup, nor do they have to do their best to defeat Sampdoria.

Sampdoria did not get any advantage in the confrontation with them this season, so it is normal for them to have this idea.

But in fact, Sampdoria in the league and their hatred for not fighting to the end, in Sampdoria's mind, their status is even worse than that of Milan's two heroes. In terms of league results, it is not economical to fight Juventus and cannot be worth it. Therefore, Sampdoria's performance in the league this season is of no reference value.

If this team composed of young people has no goals, it is indeed easy to have common problems and confusion among young people. But if you give them a clear goal, even if the goal looks a bit high, the advantages of young people will be displayed immediately. The whole team is guaranteed to be like being injected with chicken blood.

Since Di Francisco announced that the team's goal this season is to win the Italian Cup, the team is like a crazy-hungry wolf in events like the Italian Cup that gave up in the first round of last season.

Whoever you meet, bite whoever you meet.

No matter whether you are the Italian football overlord or not, no matter which league ranking you are, you dare to jump up and bite your flesh and blood if you block their way to the championship.
