After the defeat to Atalanta, Sampdoria had another game against Verona a week later.

This time, Di Francisco still did not let all the main players start, but used a lineup of half main force and half substitute.

It's a strange arrangement because it's not the Champions League, there's still a league game in the middle of the Champions League. So why didn't Di Francisco play all his squad in this game, and then rotate again in the next league round to rest the squad and prepare for the Champions League?

People with such doubts looked at the opponents of Sampdoria in the next round of the league, and suddenly it dawned on them.

Because after the Verona game, Sampdoria will welcome Sassuolo at home!

There may be some people who have just become Gao Zheng's fans who will be puzzled by this, but as long as you are a Sampdoria fan, there is no one who does not know the story between Gao Zheng and Sampdoria and Sassuolo.

Looking at it this way, Di Francisco's arrangement makes perfect sense.

This is Sassuolo, even if it is the Champions League group stage away to Barcelona, Sampdoria will definitely not let Sassuolo go.

You must know that Gao Zheng released cruel words at the beginning, and when he saw Sassuolo in the future, he would beat him hard.

Unexpectedly, one season later, the two teams met in Serie A.

Moreover, Berardi also played for Sassuolo before, and this game was also the first time for him to face his old club directly after moving to Sampdoria.

So this game is really gimmicky.

Sampdoria, who played in Verona, ended up in a 1-1 draw with Verona.

Next up is the home game against Sassuolo.

Before the game, the grudge between Gao Zheng and Sassuolo was resurfaced by the media.

Everyone relived once again how Sassuolo let Gao Zheng go, and in turn, was kicked back to the classic story of the second division by Gao Zheng in the final of the promotion play-offs.

On Sassuolo's side, this erased the previous story and highlighted the feud between Gao Zheng and Sassuolo - if it weren't for Gao Zheng, Sassuolo would have been promoted one season earlier. As a result, he is now in the second division for an extra season.

Fortunately, they rose up, and this time they met Gao Zheng and Sampdoria, and they must take revenge.

The good news for Sassuolo is that if they can cause enough trouble for Sampdoria in this game and greatly deplete Sampdoria's strength, then Sampdoria will have to suffer a heavy defeat when they challenge Barcelona away.

You must know that Barcelona failed to beat Sampdoria away from home, and was scored such a goal by Gao Zheng, and he must have been holding back the fire in his heart.

When the time comes, it will all be vented on Sampdoria at home, and I don't know if Sampdoria can withstand it......

Sassuolo's supporters get excited at the thought of this.

They couldn't wait to see how Sampdoria were suffering on their own and then being pressed to the ground by Barcelona.

When Gao Zheng finished training, a reporter who liked to cause trouble ran to him and asked: "Gao, Gao, you said that you would beat Sassuolo once you saw it, is it still effective?" ”

Gao Zheng smiled and smiled brightly: "It is valid for a long time." ”

Some people may think that Gao Zheng has such a big grudge against Sassuolo, mainly because Sassuolo abandoned him at the beginning.

Of course, there are reasons for this, but the upgrade to the level of "long-term effectiveness" is mainly because of the reporter's wanton insult to the Chinese.

When you are out alone, some things can become very sensitive. Even if he was scolded by others, Gao Zheng insisted that what he did was right.

If someone insults you, why can't you fight back? If you fight back, you will be scolded for being glass-hearted, inferior, and self-inflicted?

How can there be such a reason in the world where the ass is crooked to the edge of the sky?

Since Sassuolo did not know how to respect his motherland, as a Chinese, he naturally wanted to make a statement.

Gao Zheng does not have too lofty patriotic feelings, he just feels that he is Chinese, and the other party scolding Chinese is equivalent to scolding himself, then he will definitely go back.

After Gao's "long-term" promise was reported by the media, Leonardo Giovaneti, a reporter for Sassuolo News, tweeted: "Gao's performance against Barcelona shocked me, he completely penetrated Barcelona's defense by himself, and it can be said that his light even overshadowed Messi. I can't help but applaud and cheer for Gao, from today I am a fan of Gao, a proud Chinese! ”

His statement surprised many people, because everyone knows the grudge between Leonardo Giovanetti and Gao Zheng.

Because of Giovanetti, Gao Zheng has not been interviewed by Sassuolo News until now. It was also because of Giovanetti that Gao Zheng, who was furious at the time, taught Sassuolo a hard lesson on the football field, and the final result was that Sassuolo failed to rush to the first division when the promotion situation was good.

It's a price that hurts Sassuolo fans and the club.

After all, the failure to win the first division is not only a competitive loss for the club, but also a major economic loss.

Although club owner Skunzi didn't say anything on his mouth, he hated Gao Zheng in his heart at all.

It all started with a personal feud between Giovaneti and Gao Zheng, when Giovaneti accused Sampdoria of deliberately losing to Sassuolo's promotion rivals Pescara in order to get Sassuolo to fall from the top two in the league to the third place in the promotion play-offs.

This conspiracy theory was of course met with protests from Sampdoria players and pro-Sampdoria journalists.

At that time, two Chinese journalists stood up for Sampdoria, only to be targeted by Giovanetti, mocking the Chinese for not knowing what "freedom of speech" is.

This sentence angered Gao Zheng, and it was only then that everything that happened afterward.

With the contradiction between the two of them, Giovanetti was guilty of suddenly showing weakness to Gao Zheng before the game between Sassuolo and Sampdoria?

Everyone carefully pondered what Giovanetti said, on the surface, it seemed that he was praising Gao Zheng, but when it came to the grievances of the two people, the more everyone looked at it, the more they felt that Giovanetti was clearly ironic.

Sure enough, at this moment, Giovanetti posted a new tweet, accompanied by a picture of himself - in the photo, Giovanetti reached out and pulled the corner of his eye into a slit.

The accompanying text is: "Now I am a proud Chinese!" I love China! ”

There was an uproar in the comments on this new tweet.

Gao Zheng received a picture from his agent Viviano, which was a selfie of Giovaneti's squinting eyes.

"That idiot is doing something again?" Gao Zheng frowned and asked.

"Exactly."

"Give me the link."

"Good!" Viviano immediately sent a link.

Soon, netizens found Gao Zheng's message under Giovanetti's tweet: "It seems that I haven't seen him for a season, and Mr. Giovaneti's memory has degraded to the point of a fish." Before the match against Sampdoria to make such a provocation, did you ask Sassuolo FC for their opinion? If a defeat is what you want Sassuolo to bring, then as you wish, fool. ”

At the end of this passage, Gao Zheng wrote in Chinese: "Don't say anything unpredictable. ”
