Juventus' starting line-up made Sampdoria's hunger for victory even stronger.

It's like a hunter's normal reaction when he notices that his prey is unsuspecting and revealing the softest part of his abdomen.

As for Juventus, they have just experienced a 4-2 victory, and they don't feel any difference between Sampdoria in front of them and Sampdoria in the last game, of course, the starting lineup is not exactly the same, but this will not be a key factor in deciding the victory.

When the game began, Juventus relied on their strength to launch a fierce attack on the Sampdoria goal.

But soon everyone found out that unlike the last league game, in the face of such Juventus, Sampdoria did not attack them, but played a defensive counterattack.

This is the Sampdoria that everyone is most familiar with.

In the last game between Sampdoria and Juventus, it simply made people wonder if Sampdoria had given up on itself.

And seeing Sampdoria's performance in this game, those who know Sampdoria and are familiar with Sampdoria breathe a sigh of relief - this is normal Sampdoria.

However, this leads to another problem, Sampdoria put in such a normal performance in this game...... What are they going to do?

If you want to continue the opportunity to play against Juventus and withdraw from the Italian Cup with dignity, should you have a wonderful confrontation with Juventus in this game, fight the earth-shattering ghosts, and finally lose because of poor strength?

And now Sampdoria, which is strictly guarded, is like a hedgehog curled up, and the desire to survive is particularly strong, which makes Juventus a little difficult to say.

Most people understand that a team's shrinking defense is the meaning of cowardice, and curling up to be a hedgehog doesn't look like a hunter.

But if you really know this Sampdoria team, you will know that their most threatening tactic is to defend and counterattack, use solid defense to withstand the opponent's attack first, and then take advantage of the opponent's long-term attack and some impetuousness, and then suddenly launch a threatening counterattack, a fatal blow.

So this is the strongest form of Sampdoria.

Sampdoria, who are serious about defending and counter-attacking, is the most terrifying.

Juventus manager Antonio Conte on the sidelines did indeed frown, he smelled something bad in the air at the Marassi Stadium.

Although there were some worries, Conte did not make any adjustments, after all, the game has just begun, and this personnel adjustment will definitely cause an uproar after the game. Any player who has been substituted early will not be happy with the manager's arrangement, and he can't tell his team-mates that he sensed the danger of the team and decided to make adjustments, right?

Isn't that a clear distrust of the abilities of the players on the field now?

And people always have a fluke mentality, in case they make adjustments, but the game doesn't develop as they feared, doesn't it seem that they are too nervous in the end?

So adjust now, unless the game has reached a very critical moment, there is generally no normal coach who does this.

Conte opted to stay put.

He believes in his players and can adapt to the situation.

Gao Zheng soon discovered that the weakness of Juventus' defensive line was Ogbonna, but it was said that the tall and strong black central defender himself was too poor, but as a part of the three-back system, he and the other two teammates did not cooperate very tacitly.

The 'BBC' defensive combination of Leonardo Bonucci, Barzagli and Giorgio Chiellini is a classic and has helped Juventus become the best defensive team in Serie A.

The chemistry between the three is unique, but it also makes it difficult for others to fit into the system.

Angelo Ogbonna is a good centre-back who was trained in Torino and was named to the Italian national team in 2011 and played in Euro 2012.

However, there is still a gap compared to Chiellini, whom he replaced today. On top of that, he only moved to Juventus from Torino this season, and he hasn't spent much time with Leonardo Bonucci and Barzagli – he has only played with the two centre-backs twice this season.

It was originally a very tacit iron cable defense line, but because of the existence of Obanna, it no longer runs smoothly, just like a gear, every time it turns to Obbonna's side, it has to be stuck.

Although this jam is very slight and very slight, it is probably difficult for ordinary people to notice.

But in the eyes of a super talented striker like Gao Zheng, it is very obvious.

Thanks to Antonio Conte's rotation policy in the Coppa Italia, the giants always have to try to balance the need to play between these substitutes and their main players, so Sampdoria are now proud to face such a flawed defence.

After finding the weakness in this defensive line, Gao Zheng only needs to do one thing - stare at Ogbonna and fight until he collapses.

In fact, the experienced Barzagli and Bonucci have already seen after a period of competition that Gao Zheng is targeting Ogbonna.

So they consciously went to help defend and help Ogbonna at the beginning, but when they came to help defend Ogbonna, there would be loopholes in the position that originally belonged to them, and Sampdoria was not only one Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng is not the kind of striker who has to shoot by himself, he can return the football to his teammates who run to the vacancy, and then hand it over to his teammates to score.

So after doing this a few times, Barzagli and Bonucci were a bit of a mouse-thrower and didn't dare to help Ogbonna more often.

More often, Ogbonna still has to face Gao Zheng by himself.

※※※

This is not the first time Obbonna has faced Gao Zheng.

When he was in Turin last season, he played Gao Zheng once in Serie A.

If you push back another season, in the 2011-2012 season in Serie B, he also played against Gao Zheng once.

In these two meetings with Gao Zheng, the Torino team he played for at the time did not lose in these two games, and Torino won in Serie B and came to Serie A Torino to draw.

However, he himself did not take advantage of the duel with Gao Zheng.

In that meeting in Serie B, although Sampdoria lost the game, Gao Zheng scored Sampdoria's only goal, and it was Ogbonna who defended Gao Zheng at that time.

In the Serie A game, although Gao Zheng did not score, the penalty kick that Poli equalized was found by Gao Zheng on Ogbonna.

So for Ogbonna, he doesn't have any very good memories of Gao Zheng.

His body is very strong, and he almost crushes Gao Zheng in terms of strength, but he doesn't dare to use his advantages to defend Gao Zheng, especially when Gao Zheng enters the penalty area.

Last season, Poli's penalty kick was when he pushed Gao Zheng hard when he was defending Gao Zheng, he felt that his strength was not very big, but Gao Zheng fell to the ground in response, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Let Turin's three points become one.

Ogbonna now forces himself to put his hands behind his back when defending Gao Zheng, trying not to have too many hand movements, so as not to be used by Gao Zheng to cheat the penalty - yes, he insists that the penalty was deceived by Gao Zheng at the beginning, and it was Gao Zheng who deceived the referee by using fake falls and blind spots.

Now wearing a Juventus jersey, he doesn't dare to make such a mistake and won't give Gao Zheng the slightest chance.

Coming to Juventus from Turin, he did not hesitate to join his city-rivals, but nodded very quickly and agreed to the transfer deal.

Because he knows in his heart that Juventus is so great compared to Torino, and his talent and talent, as well as his ambitions, can only be displayed on a platform like Juventus.

And this time, when Gao Zheng found him, he was a little panicked at first, but now he has adjusted his mentality.

He realised that this was both a huge challenge and a huge opportunity for him as a newcomer to Juventus – if he could successfully defend against Gao Zheng, would there be more opportunities to play in the future? Could manager Antonio Conte be more optimistic about him? Will the club rediscover the huge potential that lies in him?

Wealth is risky, and no success can be easily achieved.
