Four hundred and twentieth chapters almost
After Atletico Madrid celebrated this goal, they received the latest instructions from the coach's seat to take advantage of the opportunity to hit the ball and continue to launch a fierce attack on Sampdoria's goal, striving to score another one before the end of the game, reverse and win the game!
Atletico Madrid players who just scored the goal are in the mood. If they are asked to shrink their defense at this time, they will definitely not be happy.
This latest arrangement of the head coach is just in line with their appetite.
So after the game started again, Atletico Madrid players ran tirelessly like a group of mad dogs, strangling Atletico Madrid's defense line, shattering their defense line, looking for opportunities to score goals.
"Diego Costa! It's so dangerous! His shot was just a sliding goal!"
"Korke's breakthrough! He went in... Be careful! Mustafi! He made a key tackle! No foul, a clean and neat tackle! However, this tackle requires very high psychological quality, and you may give the opponent a penalty if you are not careful..."
"...Sampdoria was very passive during this period. They were stunned by a series of blows. Before they could come back to their senses, Atletico Madrid's morale was greatly boosted. If they continue to play like this, Sampdoria would be dangerous!" He Ping said worriedly.
Simeone no longer sat in the coach's seat and watched the game like in the first half. He stood on the sidelines and made various moves according to the situation on the field, yelling from time to time.
"This is the Simeone we are familiar with, this is the Atletico Madrid we are familiar with. From the coach to the players, they are full of passion!" The Spanish commentator was very excited and praised it. "How can you just win a draw away against a team like Sampdoria? If you want to advance to the quarterfinals, of course you have to win Sampdoria away!"
The commentator's ideas also represent the ideas of many Atletico Madrid fans.
In their opinion, Sampdoria's strength is of course not as good as Atletico Madrid. Logically speaking, even if it is away, Atletico Madrid should be able to defeat Sampdoria. As a result, she played cautiously in the first half. It was not until the opponent's second player was injured in the second half that Atletico Madrid broke the deadlock. How can a draw satisfy them?
The Argentine TV commentator and the Spanish commentator have the same meaning. He even directly asserted that Atletico Madrid will win away and Sampdoria has collapsed.
"That's right, dad. This is your football. How can you be scared by a mere Sampdoria?" Giovanni in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief. He finally couldn't bear the jokes his teammates had about his father.

Clarian Moretti and his companions stood in the south stand at the Marasi Stadium, looking at the dangerous Sampdoria, with a little silent.
In this match, Sampdoria showed their courage to excite them in the first half, and they were once full of hope for being able to beat Atletico Madrid at home.
As a result, they were beaten back to reality in the second half.
The strength gap between the two sides is still very big. Sampdoria has to do her best just by holding on to this draw. Atletico Madrid obviously kept playing before and still had enough energy.
After all, this is a team that can beat Real Madrid 1-0 at the Bernabeu...
At this time, Atletico Madrid won a corner kick. After the corner kick was taken, their central defender Godin jumped high and pushed the ball towards the goal. In the end, the ball just rose slightly above the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
Moretti's companions shouted: "It's so dangerous! How fucking hell! Why can the opponent's central defender shoot so unscrupulously in front of our goal?!"
Moretti didn't answer him. Isn't it normal for the central defender to come up to fight for a header? But more importantly, we haven't counterattacked for a while, so their central defender doesn't need to consider returning to defense, and can be confident and boldly rise up to compete for the top.

Di Francesco glanced at the time on the big screen. The game had reached its 89th minute, and the fourth official was setting the time for injury stoppage time on the sidelines.
Because Palonbo was injured in the second half, the injury time would be slightly longer.
But he really couldn't say now that this was a good thing or a bad thing for Sampdoria.
After all, the initiative in the game is now in Atletico Madrid. The longer the injury stoppage time, the more offensive opportunities Atletico Madrid can get, and the greater the chance of Sampdoria conceding the ball again.
From this perspective, Di Francisco hopes not to have injury time and ends the game directly after ninety minutes. His psychological expectations have been lowered from defeating Atletico Madrid at home to being able to protect a draw at home.
When the ninety minutes ended, the fourth official raised the sign of injury time for five minutes on the sidelines.
As soon as this time came out, it caused dissatisfaction among the Sampdoria fans in the stands and booed the crowd.
This fully demonstrates that Sampdoria fans and Sampdoria coach have the same idea. When their goal is in danger, they don't want to play a few more minutes for fear that Atletico Madrid will take advantage of this opportunity to score another goal.
As expected, Atletico Madrid took advantage of the last five minutes to launch a more fierce offensive against Sampdoria's goal, hoping to take this opportunity to score another goal.
But just when Atletico Madrid fans fantasized about the team's final defeat of Sampdoria, they inadvertently launched a counterattack.
At that time, after Sampdoria's left-back Costa dribbled the ball across the half, he encountered an Atletico Madrid midfielder who passed the ball to goal Gabi and full-back Juan Fran from a 45-degree angle cross from the left.
He had no confidence to drive the ball through the interception between the two of them. He glanced at Gao Zheng who had rushed to the front and simply passed the ball with a long pass, passing it high to Atletico Madrid's penalty area.
Gao Zheng ran to the landing point of the football and received the ball in the top of the penalty area.
Using his precise judgment of the landing point, he used his chest to remove the football from Costa.
"Beautiful stop..."
Before Caresa finished speaking of her praise, she saw Gao Zheng swing his left foot and pulled the ball out directly without waiting for the ball to land!
The ball flew to the upper left corner of the goal!
"Volve!" He Ping exclaimed excitedly, as if he was waiting for the football to fly into the goal, and then he vented all the emotions and words that he had been holding in his heart for a long time.
But just as He Ping and the Sampdoria fans in the stands were about to cheer, a big hand wearing gloves reached over and quickly approached the football, and then the fingertips barely touched the football.
The football jumped slightly and flew out from the outside of the goal post!
"Courtova!" The Spanish TV commentator said a long hiss, "Courtova! Wow!!! Awesome great save! He saved the team!"
Seeing that the football was actually snatched, even Gao Zheng couldn't help but hold his head with both hands and swung his fist hard, which seemed quite shocking. He really didn't expect Courtois to save the football like this...
"Ah! Ah!!!!" Caresa screamed. "Hao's shot was saved by Courtois! Oh my God! This should have been a world shot! But Courtois cruelly refused all this! When Atletico Madrid desperately wanted to reverse the winning of Sampdoria, he was almost defeated by Sampdoria! What a pity... It's such a pity! Sampdoria is only one fingertip away from winning this game at home!"
He Ping almost coughed when he saw this scene... His words and emotions were forced to swallow back like saliva, and it took him a long time to recover: "This is so regretful! It's so regretful! Gao Zheng could have defeated Atletico Madrid! To be honest, this was not a good counterattack opportunity for Sampdoria, it was entirely an opportunity created by Gao Zheng based on his personal ability. As a result, such a wonderful shot was saved... Of course, Courtois' save was also wonderful..."
He Ping couldn't continue to say anything, and his inner disappointment was expressed in his tone. He could only shut up and relieve his emotions first, so that he could not affect his work.
After all, there are also a large number of Atletico Madrid fans in China.
He cannot completely offend this group. Although he has been scolded many times on Weibo, the fan camp he belongs to has also changed many times...
But there is still no need to make trouble for yourself if you have nothing to do.

The TV broadcast repeatedly played Gao Zheng's shot, from stopping to shooting, perfect, but was eventually stopped by Courtois' wonderful performance.
Close-up of the two men, Gao Zheng and Courtois, switch back and forth.
Gao Zheng hugged his head with both hands and waved his fists in annoyance.
Courtois rolled out of the ground for several rounds and got up, waving his fists, but his feelings were completely different from Gao Zheng.
Atletico Madrid players came up one by one to hug him, which made Sampdoria players complain to the referee that Atletico Madrid was taking this opportunity to delay time. This is really funny. Before, Sampdoria players were a little slower before, and Atletico Madrid players thought that Sampdoria was delaying time. As a result, it was Atletico Madrid's turn to delay time...
But it’s not their fault that they are so exaggerated, because they were indeed scared just now.
"It's so dangerous. If it weren't for Courtois, we might have lost..." Assistant coach Boggs looked into the court in a daze and murmured.
"That's not a good opportunity..." Fitness coach Ortega was also a little scared.
Simeone's face was also not good-looking. Although he was not surprised that Gao Zheng would have such a behavior, it was still too stimulating when it really happened to him... He felt that his heart stopped beating just now.
Then Atletico Madrid made adjustments and no longer continued to bombard Sampdoria's goal, but instead took them back.
For them, the 1:1 result is actually very good, and there is no need to lose the game for this.
On the contrary, after being stimulated by Gao Zheng's shot, Sampdoria was a little unwilling to accept the result and tried to attack Atletico Madrid in the last two minutes.
