Chapter 67: Another Final
In the coach's box and bench of the Sampdoria reserve team, it was the fourth time they jumped from their seats in this game to cheer.
The scoreboard on the sidelines is showing the just-refreshed real-time score of the game - 2:4, and Sampdoria is leading the way.
It was Icardi who scored the goal, and it was Gao Zheng who assisted him.
It was Icardi's third goal of the game and he scored a hat-trick. The Argentines are simply unstoppable.
But in Bruni's view, Gao Zheng is the key factor in the team's two-goal lead in this game.
His activity in midfield helped Icardi to three goals.
The Atalanta reserves, which are famous for their youth training, collapsed in front of the Sampdoria reserves led by Icardi and Gao Zheng.
Their players on the pitch still can't believe it, they don't believe how they have become like this when they are playing at home.
At this time, with ten minutes left before the end of the game, no one believed that the Atalanta reserves team could come back.
The reserve team only went to a single-game elimination system in the playoffs, and there was no away goal count. If the score is tied, extra time will be played, and if there is a draw in extra time, a penalty shootout will be played. Of course, there was no chance to take penalties in this game......
"It's time to prepare for the semifinals on the nineth!" Casirio said excitedly.
Bruni nodded.
There are only three days between today and the semi-finals, and there are only two days to train in those days, so you should really prepare in advance.
As the last quarter-final match, Sampdoria's reserve opponents in the semi-finals have already been decided.
They will travel away to take on the Varese reserves, a team that is more than 50 kilometres north of Milan.
The fatigue of the journey still has a great impact on the preparation for war.

When Mattia Montini sent the ball into the Genoa reserve goal in the 90th minute, Perrin kept the save on the turf and did not get up immediately.
Because it makes no sense whether he can't get up or not, Genoa lost this game.
The score was 0:2 and they lost to Roma Reserves.
Although there were about a few minutes of stoppage time left in the game, it was meaningless in front of the scoreline.
Genoa couldn't have scored twice in those pitiful minutes to send the game to extra time.
The champions of last year's reserve team are defenseless against Roma reserves this year.
Palin felt a great disappointment enveloping him.
He knows that Sampdoria's opponent in the semi-finals is Varese, and he believes that Sampdoria will definitely make it to the reserve team final.
He originally hoped to lead the team to the finals and compete with Gao Zheng again.
This time he was going to dispel the nightmare from his mind once and for all.
But he failed, he didn't even meet Gao Zheng again, and he lost to Rome.
It was in the midst of this frustration that it occurred to Perrin that this should be his last season of reserve team play, and the first team would be his battleground.
Similarly, Gao Zheng should not stay in the Sampdoria reserve team anymore, he should go to the first team.
At that time, he and Gao Zheng will still have a chance to fight.
So to get rid of the nightmare, it's not the only chance, nor is it the last chance.
He wants to make himself stronger and get a chance to play in the first team, only then can he meet Gao Zheng again.
Thinking of this, Perrin rolled over from the ground and got up.
My game isn't over yet.

"Genoa is eliminated, huh? It's so cool! ”
"The turkey is finished, I'll see them again in the future and see how they pull it!"
On the training ground of the Sampdoria reserves, such chattering sounded on the second day.
In between trainings, the most common thing everyone talks about is the opponent next door.
Seeing the Genoa reserves lose, one by one is as sweet as eating sugar.
These young people can't be blamed for gloating.
Because that's the mortal enemy.
When Sampdoria's first team lost to Genoa in the Lighthouse derby and were one step closer to relegation, Genoa fans took to the streets for Sampdoria's funeral – they paraded through the streets carrying a coffin, which was certainly for Sampdoria......
For this kind of "riotous operation" of Genoa fans, Sampdoria fans are naturally unhappy and unhappy.
But it doesn't matter, when Genoa was unlucky, Sampdoria fans did the same......
Again, this is the sworn enemy of the same city.
Someone stretched comfortably on the turf: "When we win against Varese tomorrow, we will be the ones who will reach the final." They're just watching! Hey, cool! ”

Football is not the most popular sport in Varese, the most representative sport is basketball.
The Varese basketball team was the first dynasty in European basketball history, reaching 10 consecutive UEFA Champions League finals in the decade between 1969 and 1979, winning five of them. This is a greater achievement than Real Madrid in the world of football.
To this day, the Varese basketball team is also a giant team in Italian basketball.
Compared to their brilliant basketball, the Varese football team is far behind......
Now the club's first team is in Serie B, where they finished third in the regular season and therefore qualified for the promotion play-offs. However, in the first round of the just-concluded promotion play-offs, they lost to Padua 3:4 on aggregate over two legs and missed out on Serie A.
Although the first team did not succeed in promotion.
However, Varese reserves have had a good season this season.
They finished first in Group B of the Reserve League.
You must know that there are also teams like AC Milan, Inter Milan and Udinese in this group.
In the quarter-finals of the playoffs, they beat Juventus reserves 5-1 away.
In the reserves, both in terms of strength and form, Varese can be regarded as a strong team.
Not to mention that they still have the advantage of being at home.
Sampdoria Reserves, who have been tired of travel, are not in great form this game.
In the game, Varese, who was playing at home, played more aggressively and suppressed Sampdoria on the field.
Of course, the Sampdoria players' poor form may also have something to do with their overly relaxed mentality - patronizing and mocking the Genoa reserve team, and not preparing for the game very seriously.
After all, there are only two days of training from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals, and if you don't take it seriously, you will miss it......

PS, yesterday's video of the strongest Chinese team in history posted on the official account "Lin Hai Tingtao Ge" linhaitingtao11 was well received by everyone. So today I put a sequel in it - the strongest Chinese team in history won the World Cup.
Everyone is welcome to see it.
After another day's rest, the World Cup was back in action.
Tonight is even more powerful, exciting.
Our X**C activities are also back in action:
France and Argentina in the evening, judging from the form and strength of the two teams, I am more optimistic that France will beat Argentina by two goals.
I'm sorry, but Messi's World Cup journey has to come here!
The match between Uruguay and Portugal at two o'clock in the morning, I think with the strength of the two teams, it will be difficult for Portugal to beat Uruguay, and Uruguay will beat Portugal by one goal!
Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup road has to go here.
After all, with the strength of Portugal, it is really going further, and it is already very good to be able to qualify from the group.
As for whether I'm right or not, we'll find out at night!
