Chapter 254: Another ......
When Gao Zheng stabbed the football to Icardi, the AC Milan defenders were obviously stunned.
No one expected Gao Zheng to pass the ball.
After the experience of the first meeting, everyone defaulted to Gao Zheng's chicken blood as long as he faced AC Milan, and at the same time, he must shoot and score by himself.
Gao Zheng scored four goals at the San Siro in that game, so how many goals will he score when he returns to home this time?
No one thought about Gao Zheng might assist his teammates.
As long as the opportunity comes, how can he not shoot himself?
But unexpectedly, Gao Zheng just gave up the opportunity to shoot and passed the football to Icardi, which caught AC Milan off guard.
So the AC Milan defence made a glaring mistake in this defence – they didn't pay enough attention to Icardi's defence.
After the goal, Icardi excitedly ran to the corner flag to celebrate the goal, and Gao Zheng and his teammates chased after him.
The entire Malassi Stadium resounded with thunderous cheers.
Although it was not Gao Zheng's goal, as long as it scored, it was worth being happy.
Before the game, AC Milan were aggressive about revenge, much to the displeasure of Sampdoria fans - what did they think of our home stadium? Revenge is revenge? We don't want to lose face!
In a carnival atmosphere, Ambrosini lay on the ground and did not get up.
Even AC Milan didn't pay much attention to their captain at first, and it wasn't uncommon for them to lie on the ground in frustration after conceding a goal.
But after a while, Montolivo, who was closest to Ambrosini, noticed that something was wrong - most people were annoyed by losing the ball, and they were lying on the ground with their hands covering their faces, and they had never seen anyone lying on the ground pinching their inner thigh muscles!
Ambrosini was like this, lying on the ground with a pained expression.
This looks like a muscle strain!
Montolivo hurriedly called the team doctor from the field.
The televised broadcast also took note of the situation, cutting the camera from the Sampdoria player who was celebrating the goal and to Ambrosini.
"There seems to be a little bit of an accident on the field...... Ambrosini was lying on the ground and didn't get up, he seemed to be tackling the ball when defending Gao Zheng, and he hasn't gotten up since then? Caresa was a little surprised.
Bergomi said: "Then the situation may not be good, looking at the position of his hand, it should be a strained inner thigh muscle......
"Was it too much of a move when you tackled?"
"I guess it'......"
"That's really bad for AC Milan, not to mention a goal down in the scoreline, and the captain and defensive midfielder are injured again. If you have a muscle strain, it's hard to keep playing, and you can't be replaced! ”
In the stands, the Sampdoria fans cheered even louder.
Gao Zheng used an assist to help Icardi score and give Sampdoria the lead, and now he has directly taken the opponent's captain down, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
※※※
Allegri saw this scene on the sidelines, and the two eyebrows on his embarrassed face drooped even more.
He looked sad when he looked at it, but now he looks even more miserable, and people can't help but feel compassion.
If AC Milan fans had been asked before this season if they could imagine Sampdoria being their bitter master, they would have laughed banterfully and thought that anyone who dared to ask such a question would be an idiot.
But now, Sampdoria has really become the bitter master of AC Milan.
In the last game, AC Milan lost 0:4 at their home stadium, which can be called a "crisp defeat". AC Milan were well prepared and rallied to seek revenge on Sampdoria, only to see their captain injured just 25 minutes into the game.
The team doctor who went up quickly made a substitution gesture to Allegri on the sidelines.
Allegri grimaced and asked the assistant coach to call Flamini.
He only had one substitute in the midfield position in this game.
※※※
When the Sampdoria players finished their celebrations, AC Milan made a substitution on the sidelines, and Flamini did not complete the high-fives with Ambrosini, and ran onto the pitch alone - the injured Ambrosini was already sitting on the bench with an ice pack wrapped around the base of his thigh, his expression was painful and frustrated.
He kept his head down, very disappointed with his performance.
But soon he looked up and refocused on the game.
Now that the team is one goal behind, can this complete revenge?
That's what Ambrosini is most concerned about right now.
After Flamini came on, AC Milan's attack weakened.
But it's not that they've made tactical adjustments, Allegri hasn't made any new arrangements.
Purely because the AC Milan players were a little demoralized after conceding a goal and suffering an injury to the captain.
Sampdoria seized the opportunity to press AC Milan for a while, but did not score.
Gao Zheng didn't just pass the ball to his teammates, he also had shots, but he didn't score.
It wasn't until the end of the first half that AC Milan seemed to come to their senses and began to try to regain the initiative in the game.
And Di Francesco waved his hand, no longer entangled with AC Milan, and simply became a state of playing defensive counterattacks.
AC Milan couldn't find the back of the net against Sampdoria in such a short period of time.
This was the end of the first half, the score was 1-0, and Sampdoria at home took the lead.
"At the start of the first half, AC Milan showed they wanted revenge, but since captain Ambrosini was injured, AC Milan's morale has gone down. Before the game, everyone thought that with AC Milan's quality and recent form, it should be easy to get revenge, but after watching half the game, I think we should all see that it is not like that! 'Careza analysed the first half with Bergomi at half-time.
"Yes." Bergomi nodded. "In the past, the outside world always thought that the reason why Sampdoria was able to achieve such results was all due to high credit. Gao did play a big role here, but it would be unreasonable to say that other Sampdoria players were worthless. In fact, whether it was the first half of this game, or the last game against Juventus, it can fully show that Sampdoria players other than Gao have improved very obviously - the 4-0 victory over AC Milan in the first round of the league can be said to be Gao's performance, but it can no longer be said that it is no longer so. It's a young team, but it's improving a lot and there's a lot of room for growth, so I expect more from them now......"
'Icardi looks really good at the moment, it's not easy to be able to perform like this in the shadow of the high all the time...... I feel like if he gives him a little more time to hone his skills, and his future achievements will definitely be limitless......" Caresa said.
As the only person to score in the first half, Icardi was naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.
Inter Milan legend Bergomi is more optimistic about Icardi: "I think it's a pity to be in Sampdoria, unless Gao leaves Sampdoria, he will always live in the shadow of Gao. He should go to a team where he can be the main attacker, and it will be better than he is now......
