Chapter 447: The Game Is Over

Di Francesco was originally cheering for Gao Zheng's goal, but after the celebration, he noticed Simeone next door, and he found that the Argentine coach did not seem to be annoyed by the conceded goal, he stood on the sidelines, his face was calm, as if Gao Zheng's world wave goal just now had not happened at all.

This obviously unconscionable scene made him frown.

Could it be that Simeone has become numb to the back-to-back goals he has conceded?

Di Francisco shook his head, he didn't want to think about it if he didn't understand, anyway, now his team has the initiative, although the aggregate score is a draw, but there are two away goals. Sampdoria could have taken advantage of the away goal advantage to knock out Atletico Madrid.

After the restart of the game, it was somewhat surprising that Atletico Madrid, which was equalized for the second time, was not beaten by Gao Zheng's world wave.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid's performance has been very tenacious.

It can even be said that Sampdoria's two consecutive equalizers stimulated Atletico Madrid, as if arousing their fighting spirit.

In the 67th minute, Sampdoria attacked in front, but failed to find the back of the net guarded by Courtois.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, launched a quick counter-attack along the flank.

Eventually, just entering the 30-metre zone, Koke, who was dribbling the ball, was brought down by Sampdoria defender Mustafi and gave Atletico Madrid a free-kick on the wing.

Atletico Madrid took advantage of the free-kick from the flank and sent the ball into the Sampdoria penalty area.

Sampdoria's defenders focused on Godin, Miranda, and Diego Costa's Atletico Madrid players, who were adept at headers, but instead allowed the modest Koke to take advantage of the hole, who jumped up to head home unguarded!

In the face of this sudden header, Romero made a save but did not touch the ball, and the ball flew into the Sampdoria goal long before he could reach it!

"Cork! Cork! Cork ——!!! The Spanish commentator excitedly chanted the name of the goalscorer.

"This ......" Seeing the football fly into Sampdoria's goal for the third time, Careza didn't know what to say. What's going on with today's game? Sampdoria equalised twice in a row, which was tenacious enough, right? I didn't expect Atletico Madrid to be able to take the lead for the third time, which is simply more tenacious than Sampdoria!

"Oops! Sampdoria completely leaked in this set-piece defence! He Ping hugged his head and shouted regretfully.

After the goal, Koke was so excited that he rushed to the corner flag area and slapped the Atletico Madrid crest on his chest.

He scored a goal to put his team back ahead and he made good on his previous promise to the captain.

In response to Koke's passionate celebration, the Atletico Madrid fans cheered like a tsunami.

The rest of his teammates rushed up from behind and yelled at the stands with Koke, and the voices of the two converged like thunder.

Atletico Madrid's attacking frenzy didn't end there, and their morale and confidence were boosted after the goal. It seems that there is no one in this world who can stop them.

Under their onslaught, Sampdoria's goal faltered.

Finally, six minutes after they scored their third goal, Atletico Madrid launched an attack that managed to spark a chaotic battle in front of the Sampdoria goal:

When the ball landed in the penalty area, players from both sides scrambled in front of goal.

The Sampdoria player was about to clear the ball, but after kicking it out, the ball hit the Atletico Madrid player who came up to grab the ball and bounced back.

Another Sampdoria player tried to protect the ball with his body and keep the Atletico Madrid player behind him, but the opponent dodged ahead of him and made him pounce, but the result was that neither the football nor the Atletico Madrid player were blocked.

In the scuffle in the penalty area, Raul Garcia stabbed the football!

At the same time, Sampdoria central defender Mustafi stretched out his foot to block, and the ball hit the outside of his calf and changed the line, and the changed line of the ball just dodged the palm of Sampdoria goalkeeper Romero, spun and flew into the goal!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Raul Garcia!! In the seventy-fourth minute of the game, Atletico Madrid scored the second goal in a short period of time! They lead Sampdoria 4:2! The overall score is 5:3! The Spanish commentator excitedly stood up from the commentary seat, pressing the headphones with one hand and holding the microphone with the other, to make sure his voice could be heard clearly. Because at this moment, the Calderón stadium was plunged into a huge noise, and he couldn't even hear his own voice at all......

After this fourth goal, the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands were particularly excited, even more so than the third.

Because before Cork scored his third goal for Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid had also scored two goals and taken the lead twice, but the result? Hasn't Gao Zheng equalized twice?

So after taking the lead for the third time, they didn't dare to let go and cheer for the third time because they were afraid of being equalized for the third time. Otherwise, if it is equalized again, it will be too much of a slap in the face.

And now it's different. Atletico Madrid already had a two-goal lead, and they finally didn't have to worry about Gao Zheng scoring another equaliser.

A lot of people think that things can be one or the other, and they can't do it again, right?

You Gao Zheng was able to equalize once or twice, and we all know that you are very good. But don't forget, this is our home stadium, and Atletico Madrid's overall strength is better than your Sampdoria!

This fourth goal should be able to knock your morale off completely, right?

We recognise your tenacity and we recognise that you deserve to be in the last 16 of the Champions League.

In the end, if you lose the game, it will be a glorious defeat and a respectable opponent.

But let's go into one, and you'll get into a game of cat and mouse, and that's it!

※※※

Amid Calderón's huge cheers, the Sampdoria players were close to breaking down.

They thought that the two equalisers were enough to give them hope. But now it turned out that it was just an illusion, and they were ten light years away from the dawn of victory......

The TV broadcast took the time to sweep at the Sampdoria players, and almost every Sampdoria player who appeared on camera looked like ashes.

Even head coach Di Francesco was a little helpless in the face of such a series of blows.

When the camera showed Gao Zheng, the time he stayed on his face was the longest in the entire Sampdoria team.

Gao Zheng in the camera did not put on a very resolute look, but covered his mouth with his hands, leaned over to Berardi's side, and was talking about something.

"I don't know what Gao is talking about, can he come up with any way? The situation is indeed very critical for Sampdoria, if Sampdoria wants to qualify for the quarter-finals, they will have to score at least two goals in the remaining game time, and hope that Atletico Madrid will not continue to score goals......," Careza said with a frown, feeling that it was almost impossible to do.

He Ping is also giving a shot to Chinese TV viewers: "Sampdoria still hasn't been able to withstand Atletico Madrid's crazy offensive. I think everyone knows what this score means...... In fact, Sampdoria was able to play this part, which is already very unexpected, and it can be said that this result is also very good......"

The headphones were filled with the cheers and singing of the Atletico Madrid fans, who seemed to be celebrating the victory in advance. There is also a "game summary" chattered by commentator He Ping.

Feng Shiyu took off the headphones, the world seemed to be pressed the mute button, and those cheers and He Ping's comforting commentary disappeared.

She looked at the live feed on her laptop screen and pursed her lips.

What would you say to your teammates?

"Don't panic, pass me the ball"?
