Although the loss put the team in trouble, Di Francesco gave the players a day off after the game.

And not for one day, but for two whole days!

"At the end of the season, everyone is tired, so take a good rest and don't think about the game you lost or the last game. Go spend time with your family, friends, go shopping, go shopping, and have fun. After the rest we will come back and prepare for this last game. ”

On the plane back to Genoa from Roma, head coach Di Francesco said to the players who were not in high spirits.

Everyone was surprised that the loss of the game had wiped out the good fortune of the team, and everyone blamed themselves for not having this game. But they relented after knowing that AC Milan had been held to a draw by Roma, which led to this result.

It's their fault.

They thought the manager would be furious and then punish them, such as cancelling the day off after the game.

But what they didn't expect was that the head coach not only did not lose his temper and did not cancel their vacation, but also gave them an extra day off than usual.

There were only five days between the 37th and 38th rounds of the league, and aside from the two-day holiday, there were only three days left for them to prepare.

Is three days of preparation for Juventus, is the time a little too short?

But Di Francisco did not explain why he arranged it this way.

In short, when they returned to Genoa after the game, all the Sampdoria players who played against Lazio were given a rare two-day holiday.

They can take advantage of these two days of vacation to fully relax, both physically and mentally.

The media questioned Di Francisco's arrangement, believing that taking two days off in one go at a time could make it difficult for the players to recover to their best condition as the big game approached. Generally speaking, one day is enough to not interrupt the players' competitive state.

But the two-day vacation will inevitably make people worry.

In the past two days, the media has always taken photos of Sampdoria players shopping and relaxing.

Judging by the smiles on the faces of these players, they are really enjoying the holiday.

Gao Zheng also appeared in the photos of reporters, in which he was dressed in casual clothes, holding a paper bag containing focaccia in his arms, grinning at the camera, smiling very brightly in the sun.

The Nineteenth Century newspaper commented on the scene: "Gao seems to be in a good mood, and it seems that the result of the last round defeat to Lazio did not affect his mood. That's reassuring. A normal high is a guarantee for us to beat Juventus in the final round of the league......"

But the same photograph is interpreted differently from the Nineteenth Century Newspaper: "Look at the smile on Gao's face, how bright and happy." If you just look at this smile, you must think that Sampdoria has already qualified for next season's Champions League in advance, but in fact it is the opposite. Sampdoria had lost the game against Lazio and had been cornered – so Gao's smile was strange, and why could he still laugh in such a situation? Di Francesco's arrangement of giving the team two days off was definitely a big failure! If the team collapses and loses to Juventus, then his decision must be the key factor! ”

Look, the same photo, but because I don't understand the position, the things that are interpreted are completely different, and they are completely different.

So who should you believe?

Believe whoever you want.

If you want to believe that the players are smiling in front of the camera is a sign of confidence and the ability to win games, then believe that.

If you feel that Di Francisco is not doing the right thing, the players can still laugh after losing a crucial game, which shows that they have no shame, no desire to win, are satisfied with European qualification, cannot qualify for the Champions League, and it is not bad to be able to participate in the Europa League...... Then I must be willing to believe the statement of "Milan Sport" and feel that Sampdoria will be cool this time.

In fact, Sampdoria's opponent in the last round of the league has already won the league title this season in advance, and they have successfully defended their title.

It stands to reason that this is a desireless opponent, and in the spirit of disgusting rival AC Milan, it may not be impossible to let Sampdoria go.

But it's a pity that in the first half of the league, Sampdoria defeated Juventus 2:1 away, and Gao Zheng's performance in the end made Juventus players and fans very unconvinced.

The two sides have reached a bond.

Therefore, Juventus will not let Sampdoria go to anyone.

Even if they have already won the championship in advance, they will definitely beat Sampdoria away from home.

As soon as I thought of this, the fans of AC Milan were very happy, and they had some thoughts of schadenfreude - when Gao Zheng made a lot of nonsense in front of other media reporters, saying that he was a high mountain, scored twice in the game, and shamelessly delayed time at the end of the game, did you think that one day your fate would be in the hands of Juventus?

It's really a good reincarnation in heaven, who does the sky forgive?

And the Juventus player's pre-match interview seems to confirm this.

"We're going to give it our all, even though we've already won the championship early, it's the best thing to do with respect for every game." Juventus midfielder Vidal said so.

In this way, Juventus was forced to draw at home by Cagliari in the last round of the league, it must be because Juventus looked down on Cagliari......

In the last game against Cagliari, Conte put Buffon, Barzagli, Lichtsteiner, Marchisio, Vidal and other players who usually play the main team on the bench, how can such a lineup be worthy of the saying "respect for the opponent"?

Even Vidal didn't play himself in the last game, how could he have the face to say something like that?

But people don't care, just say that, the meaning against Sampdoria is very obvious.

With the exception of Vidal, all other Juventus players said the same thing in interviews.

Bendtner, a center forward on loan from Arsenal this season, also ridiculed Gao Zheng's unsportsmanlike performance in front of reporters: "We are a very professional team, although we have won the championship in advance, we will never do anything unsportsmanlike, after all, we are not a certain 'mountain' ......"

Even manager Antonio Conte said: "...... I'm going to field the best squad, I'm not happy with our performance in the last league game and I want to finish the season with a win. ”

Gianluigi Buffon is also the focus of journalists' attention, and Gao Zheng scored two goals in the last game to help Sampdoria take all three points. So this time, will Buffon succeed in getting revenge?

What does Buffon think of Gao Zheng, who has won the Golden Boot and broken the record?

"There are very few people at his age who can do what he did, so he's amazing." Buffon shrugged at the end of training. 'I have to admit that the last time we played him, we were a bit underdog and didn't know enough about him. But this time it was different, and none of us in the team would take it lightly. We were prepared to win this game. ”

A reporter asked: "In the last game, Conte let so many main players rest in rotation, is it also for this game?" ”

Buffon smiled and waved his hand away.

Looking at his departing back, Pastoria in the crowd of journalists laughed.

The sins created by Gao Zheng in the last confrontation will be returned a hundred times this time!
