After Sampdoria was eliminated, they lost 0:3 away to Atlanta in the next league.

In this game, Di Francesco conducted a lot of rotations, and the main players, including Gao Zheng, basically did not appear on the court.

This is the team's four consecutive defeats in the league, which can be regarded as the worst period since the team's promotion to the First Division.

In addition, he was eliminated in the Champions League, and it seemed that a thick layer of cloud was shrouded in Sampdoria, and the sunlight was completely impenetrable, making people feel depressed and suffocated.

At this time, Sampdoria's ranking in the league had dropped to eleventh, leading only one point ahead of Genoa, the city's arch rival.

This makes the fans of the city's arch-rivals happy.

When Sampdoria won the Italian Cup, they were really depressed and had to bear the ridicule of Sampdoria fans every day.

But now it's their turn to be proud. Although their performance is not very good, they are very happy to see their opponents in the same city being unlucky.

If you can still beat Sampdoria in the league next time, it will be perfect.

But they didn't realize that being eliminated in the Champions League is not necessarily a bad thing for Sampdoria to play in the league...

In this way, Sampdoria finally won the multi-line battle this season. The Italian Cup has been finished. Sampdoria won the championship and the Champions League is gone, and only the league is left. Sampdoria does not have to rotate anymore, nor does it have to give up the league, and specializes in the Champions League.

How terrible is a Sampdoria who can go all out in the league?

In the 29th round of the league a week later, Sampdoria played Verona at home. In this game, Gao Zheng, who had never played in the last game, appeared in the lineup. In addition to him, other Sampdoria's main players also regained one after another.

This game was at home in Sampdoria.

Although the league suffered four consecutive losses and was eliminated in the Champions League, the Malasi Stadium is still full of Sampdoria fans in this way to support their team.

In fact, the elimination of the Champions League did not make Sampdoria fans dissatisfied with the team's performance. You should know that no one could have thought that Sampdoria could reach this point in the Champions League before the season, and the results of the top 16 were already very surprising. As Sampdoria fans, they all know the strength of their team, so they do not have any unrealistic aspirations for the team. The team can play to the knockout stage and can play at Atletico Madrid until the end of the home court. They are already very satisfied.

That's why they returned to the airport to welcome the team and treated them like triumphant heroes.

They also expressed their support for the team with practical actions in this home league.

Before the game began, their singing had already resounded over the Malasi Stadium.

As a reward for such enthusiastic and selfless support to the fans, just four minutes into the game, Gao Zheng took the lead for Sampdoria with a long shot outside the penalty area!

"Oh! High! High!! He scored in the first four minutes! It seems that his shooting in this game will feel very good!"

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng ran to the south stand where Sampdoria fans gathered, and gave them a blank look with his hands to stroke his chest.

"Gao uses such celebration actions to express his apology to the fans, because the team was eliminated in the Champions League and apologizes to the fans for their four consecutive losses in the league. But in fact, he doesn't have to do this at all, because he has done well enough!" Caresa sighed when she saw this scene.

The Sampdoria fans in the stands also saw this. They responded to Gao Zheng with the same movements and asked thousands of people to stroke their hands and bow to Gao Zheng.

They were unwilling to accept Gao Zheng's apology because Gao Zheng actually didn't owe them at all.

Instead, they need to apologize to Gao Zheng in turn. If they hadn't stayed in Sampdoria, they believed that Gao Zheng would have achieved greater success this season. When he lost the old chairman at the club and Icardi left resolutely, Gao Zheng chose to stay out of his feelings for the team and the fans... So it was Sampdoria who dragged him down, not that he was sorry to Sampdoria.

Due to multi-line combat this season, Sampdoria cannot come up with a deep enough bench lineup to support it, and can only take rotation. As a result, Gao Zheng has only scored sixteen league goals, and is behind Icardi, who has already scored eighteen goals in the league scorer list.

The Golden Boot of the League last season has only scored 16 goals in the league for twenty-nine rounds, which is far inferior to his performance last season. But this is not because Gao Zheng's ability has declined, but because he has been rotated to the bench too many times this season.

So much so that Icardi, who now makes Sampdoria fans very upset, scored 18 goals because he can only play in the league and ranked first in the scorer list.

If it weren't for Sampdoria, I believe Gao Zheng wouldn't have made Icardi so rampant...

※※※

Gao Zheng's goal set the tone for this game and also set a good start, allowing all Sampdoria players to let go of their nervousness.

The game was completely taken over by Sampdoria and completely fell into Sampdoria's rhythm.

In the 23rd minute, Berardi received an assist from Gao Zheng and rewritten the score to 2:0.

Before the end of the first half, captain Palonbo scored a goal and the score became 3:0. Sampdoria led Verona with three goals in the first half.

Faced with Sampdoria's aggressive offensive, Verona could only crouch in his thirty-meter area and survive.

Before the game, they hoped to beat Sampdoria at home. After all, Sampdoria is in poor form and has lost four consecutive league games.

Verona currently has 24 points, only one more point than Bologna, which ranks third from the bottom. It can be said that relegation is not safe.

There are ten rounds left in the league, and they also need to fight for relegation.

And relegation teams are not easy to mess with.

As a result, this dream was declared shattered after only four minutes.

They were behind three goals in the first half, how else would they play in this game?

※※※

The second half of the game just started again. In the 48th minute, Gao Zheng once again broke through Verona's goal.

"Gao Zheng! Scoring twice! Now his personal league goals have risen to 17, only one goal away from Icardi!" Liu Hong was very happy because Sampdoria was busy with the Champions League and the Italian Cup during this period and did not pay enough attention to the league. Gao Zheng has not scored goals in the league many times. This made him very depressed, who was responsible for commenting on the Serie A.

The Champions League was full of fun, and Gao Zheng even had a hat-trick at Calderon, but it was explained by his colleague He Ping, and it had nothing to do with him.

Gao Zheng, who had already scored twice, did not stop pursuing the goal.

Finally, in the 58th minute, he scored a beautiful direct free kick and tied Icardi on the scorer list while scoring a hat-trick.

"Oh hehe!! Hat trick! Hat trick! Gao's condition is so good today! Before this game, Gao scored three goals behind Icardi on the scorer list, and Gao scored a game that smoothed the gap between them!" Caresa said excitedly.

After winning the Italian Cup and being eliminated from the Champions League, what topics can be attractive to Sampdoria?

Of course it is the league Golden Boot battle.

While Sampdoria was fighting on multiple fronts, Icardi opened fire in Inter Milan and scored 18 goals, surpassing Gao Zheng to top the scorer list.

This made many people see the opportunity of Icardi to pull Gao Zheng off the throne.

Of course they all hope that someone can challenge Gao Zheng so that Gao Zheng will not continue to be crazy.

It is safe to lead three goals in the scorer list. Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng eliminated the gap in one game.

Those who are waiting to see Icardi beat Gao Zheng to surprise and disappoint.

But Caresa doesn't think so. Challenging does not mean that the competition ends here. As Gao Zheng can now turn the focus back to the league, the competition between him and Icardi will definitely become more and more intense. When Icardi sees Gao Zheng's performance today, it is definitely impossible to remain indifferent, right?

Apart from this round of games, there are nine rounds left in the league, which is another highlight in addition to the championship battle and the relegation battle.
Chapter completed!
