After the start of the game, AC Milan launched a fierce offensive towards Sampdoria's goal, and the anger of every AC Milan player has almost been materialized and visualized.

Caresa said: "Today's AC Milan entered the game very quickly. They let themselves enter the game almost at the same time as the referee Marco Guida blew the kick-off whistle. But it's normal to think about it— —For this game, AC Milan must not know how long it took to prepare, they must return all the shame of losing four goals in the last confrontation to Sampdoria here today!"

Bergomi introduced: "AC Milan does have such confidence, because their results have been very good recently. In fact, since they lost 1:3 to Fiorentina in the twelfth round of the league on November 11 last year, they have only lost One game-XVIII lost to Roma. There is also a wave of four consecutive victories. In fact, they have come out of the 0:4 loss to Sampdoria in the first round, but for the players, Perhaps a sign is needed to confirm..."

Caresa laughed: "This is really... AC Milan needs to beat Sampdoria to get rid of the knot. This kind of plot never happened in the past!"

"Because Sang has a high in Sampdoria this time." Bergomi said seriously, and then laughed himself.

AC Milan players may think that Sampdoria really underestimated them because of the performance of Sampdoria players in the player tunnel before the game.

But in fact Sampdoria attaches great importance to this game.

Di Francesco specially arranged a defensive counterattack tactics for the team in response to AC Milan's eagerness for revenge.

In fact, Sampdoria really didn't want to create some illusions to make AC Milan think that they underestimated the enemy.

Gao Zheng really didn't show anything special in the training, they were just telling the truth when they were interviewed.

But the Milan media didn't believe it.

What can they do?

And what happened in the player channel was just a coincidence. In fact, it reflected the relaxation and maturity of the Sampdoria players' mentality. This mentality existed after they beat Juventus 2:1 in an away game with ten players.

That game greatly boosted the confidence of the players - although Gao Zheng scored the goal, the team was able to withstand Juventus' indiscriminate bombing with one less player, which also shows that their defense It is well done and has withstood the test.

It was also because of his performance in that game that Di Francesco arranged a defensive counterattack tactic to deal with AC Milan in this game.

As a result, the confidence shown by the Sampdoria players before the game was interpreted by the AC Milan players as pride and underestimation of the enemy.

Angrily, he launched a fierce attack on the Sampdoria goal, hitting them but hit the iron plate.

The offensive was raging in the opening ten minutes, but they were not able to break through Sampdoria's goal.

In this game, Allegri formed a 433 formation. The three forwards were Bojan in the center, Shalawi on the left, and Mbaye Niang on the right.

This striker combination can be said to be an fm monster combination, but apart from Shalawi's outstanding performance this season, neither Bojan nor Niang's performance is far inferior to the game.

Therefore, this attack lineup is not very dangerous to Sampdoria's defense line, and there is little thunder and rain.

Shalawi worked very hard. The only threat in AC Milan's attack in the past ten minutes came from him.

But relying on him alone, the threat he can bring is limited enough.

After withstood AC Milan's three-axes attack in the opening game, Sampdoria began to fight back.

Unlike AC Milan's offensive with a lot of thunder and little rain, Sampdoria's counterattacks were not many, but they were very threatening.

In the 18th minute, Gao Zheng passed the football obliquely to Icardi in the counterattack. After Icardi stopped the football with his chest, he swung his foot and shot, forcing AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati to make a wonderful move. He made a great save and pushed the football out of the bottom line with his fingertips.

"Icardi!! Beautiful and confident shot!"

Di Francesco started playing three forwards at the beginning of the season, but with the injury of Maxi Lopez, the decline of Pozzi and Eder, and the active performance of Icardi, now Sampdoria has switched to double. Forward, Gao Zheng and Icardi partnered.

Although Icardi's current number of goals is far less than that of Gao Zheng, the talent he has shown is already known to everyone.

Now in Sampdoria's starting lineup, there are young players such as Gao Zheng, Icardi, Kosticic, Obiang, and Masi. Young, but daring to fight against opponents. The initial state is indeed ups and downs, showing the common faults of young people, but these young people are also growing rapidly in the game, and their performance is getting better and better.

The defeat of Juventus in the last game under extremely unfavorable circumstances is the best proof.

Of course, the reason why this young guard can grow up so quickly has a lot to do with the people who escorted them - if it weren't for Gao Zheng, the ship full of young people would have sunk long ago... …

It is precisely because of Gao Zheng's goal after goal that helped the team to achieve good results despite ups and downs. It is still in seventh place at present. Di Francesco's pressure is not great, so it is possible to continue to promote his rejuvenation strategy.

Under the "escort" of Gao Zheng, both Kosticic, Massi and Icardi have grown up rapidly.

Now they have been able to stand firm as the main force in their respective positions.

The reason why Icardi was able to have such a calm kick just now is also inseparable from Gao Zheng's wonderful pass.

Although Gao Zheng is a center forward, he is very comprehensive, with a wide range of activities, excellent skills, and a strong overall view. On the contrary, he is more like an offensive free agent. He can connect the team to attack, he can score goals by himself, or he can send a wonderful pass to his teammates to create opportunities after attracting the opponent's defense.

So although the outside world has been criticizing Di Francesco for making Gao Zheng the core of betting, Di Francesco has not wavered in his own mind and firmly supports and believes in Gao Zheng.

And Gao Zheng's performance did not disappoint him.

At the twenty-fifth minute, Gao Zheng retreated to meet his teammates.

Obiang passed the football to him from behind, Gao Zheng did not go up to catch the ball, but waited on the spot.

This made Montolivo feel that he had a chance, so he rushed up decisively, intending to shovel the football before Gao Zheng.

But he obviously made a mistake in judgment. His upper grab did not grab the ball, but instead created a space behind him!

The captain of the team, Ambrosini, realized that it was going to be bad when he saw this, so he rushed to fill the position.

While he was rushing up, Gao Zheng waited for the football. Instead of catching the ball and adjusting his turn, he directly used the inside of his right foot to stop the football behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he faced Ambrosini who was up the grab.

Gao Zheng's center of gravity tilted to the left, as if he wanted to turn the football directly to the left.

Ambrosini had just reached his position and was forced to confront Gao Zheng before he could get a firm foothold.

He spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity and waited.

Gao Zheng's center of gravity leaning to the left was indeed a fake move. He moved the football to the right with his right foot.

Ambrosini, who was intercepting from the front, quickly moved laterally to the right, and then stretched out his feet to shovel Gao Zheng and the football under his feet.

Gao Zheng caught up with the football with a stride, gave full play to the advantage of his longer legs, and kicked the football back first. Ambrosini made a shovel!

The football passed him by, and he could only watch it roll past, but there was nothing he could do - he lost his center of gravity and slipped to the ground.

He was unwilling to just watch Gao Zheng throw him away, so he turned over and wanted to get up from the ground, but when he kicked his leg, he found that it was broken... He seemed to have strained his thigh muscle when he tackled the ball just now—in order to try his best to To expand the defensive area during tackles, he spread his legs wide apart...

"Gao Zheng! His beautiful fake moves are amazing! He passed two people in one go!" Liu Hong excitedly cheered for Gao Zheng. "He continued to dribble towards AC Milan's penalty area!"

AC Milan was facing a formidable enemy, and Abbiati pointed at Gao Zheng in front of the door and yelled: "Stop him! Fouls are fine!"

At this time, he couldn't care less about Gao Zheng's free kick.

Because I didn't expect Gao Zheng to be able to pass two of his teammates in a row so easily, so AC Milan's back line was originally relatively low, which gave Gao Zheng room to move forward with the ball.

At this time, if they rush out to defend, they will naturally take care of other places less well. For example, the AC Milan center back Mex who came up to intercept Gao Zheng inevitably had an empty space behind him.

And this space was immediately occupied by Icardi's oblique insertion.

At the same time, Gao Zheng poked the football to Icardi who had already taken up the space with his toe!

"Icardi——!" Amid Caresa's protracted shout, Icardi took Gao Zheng's pass to the side and forward, and then swung his foot to shoot!

He ran to the near corner, but turned around and shot the football to the far corner, which caught Abbiati by surprise!

Abbiati could only try to block the ball with his feet, but he couldn't.

The football went into the back corner of the goal!

"Goal!!! Icardi! Mauro Icardi! This is his fifth league goal this season! In the 26th minute of the game, Sampdoria led 1-0 at home AC Milan!"

"AC Milan put too much defensive attention on Gao, completely ignoring Icardi... In fact, Icardi is also a young player with outstanding ability, which should not be underestimated..."

Bergomi said, but it is too late to say this now.
