Sampdoria deliberately slowed down their tempo and pace after Berardi's goal, as they were already two goals ahead and had little time left in the first half.

The morale of the Napoli side has also taken a hit and it is not up to scratch.

Until the end of the first half, the score was not rewritten.

Sampdoria went into the break with a two-goal lead.

"It was a surprise that Sampdoria had the advantage of playing at home, but no one expected Sampdoria to take a two-goal lead in the first half after the game. I think you might have to change your point of view and that is that Sampdoria are very competitive when they can focus on a competition......

Careza said as he looked at the Sampdoria players who were leaving.

Sampdoria is not thick enough on the bench and can only rely on a set of lineups to play the world. If they have the depth of the bench of the giants, I am afraid that they can really challenge Juventus's league dominance.

The stands at the Malassi Stadium at halftime were also full of a relaxed atmosphere.

Sampdoria fans used the half-time break to eat, drink and go to the toilet.

Everyone gathered in groups to talk about the team's prospects in the Coppa Italia.

Although Di Francesco has never expressed his ambitions in the Coppa Italia in any public appearance, when the cup has been played, everyone can see that Sampdoria will definitely not be willing to give up the Coppa Italia.

It's all in the semi-finals, and any team will want to make it to the final.

And the team that reaches the final, I'm afraid no one will be satisfied with a runner-up.

"Eh, you say our team's goal isn't going to be to win the Coppa Italia, right?"

"That's what it means......"

"It would be nice if I could win the championship!"

"Well, you can't win the league, you can win the Coppa Italia. Don't think about the Champions League......"

Everyone looked forward to the scene when the team won the Coppa Italia, and just thinking about it, a happy smile appeared on their faces.

Although Sampdoria was known as the "Seven Sisters" in the golden age of Serie A, it was a strong team at that time. But in fact, Sampdoria does not have many honors. It's just that when CCTV broadcasts Serie A, it happens to be the most glorious time for Sampdoria, so it gives people the feeling of a traditional powerhouse.

But in reality, in terms of honors, Sampdoria is lackluster.

They have only won the Serie A championship once, that is, in the 1990-1991 season, from AC Milan, which has the "Dutch Three Musketeers", Inter Milan, the "German Troika", and Napoli, the "South American Trident" Maradona, they have won a league championship.

Sampdoria's most glorious time was during that time, when they not only won the league title, but also won the Champions League runner-up, losing to Cruyff's Barcelona in the Champions League final.

In the 1989-1990 season they also won the European Cup Winners' Cup.

In 1993-1994 he won the Coppa Italia.

In the 1991-1992 season, he won the Italian Super Cup.

They also won the Coppa Italia in 1984-1985, 1987-1988 and 1988-1989.

The period from 1984 to 1994 was the most successful and glorious moment of Sampdoria's history.

Most of their influential titles were also won at this time.

In addition, he only won Serie B once in the 1966-1967 season.

Because there are not many titles, every chance of winning a title will make Sampdoria fans excited and hopeful.

The fifteen-minute intermission flew by in the midst of everyone's pleasant conversation and anticipation.

※※※

When the players from both sides came back on, neither team made any substitutions.

But perhaps the Sampdoria players were as relaxed as the fans at half-time, so much so that after the start of the second half, before they could get into the groove, Napoli's attack came up.

Unlike Sampdoria's unpreparedness, Napoli were well prepared and it was clear that their manager Rafael Benitez made a number of targeted changes at half-time.

Napoli didn't play wide against Sampdoria's dense defence, as the first half of the game proved that this style of play on the side and then passing down the middle did not work well.

After all, Napoli's center forward is Higuain, not a center forward who is good at solving problems with headers.

Coupled with the fact that both Gastadero and Alberto Marsi are tall and headers on Sampdoria's side, Higuain is basically difficult to find opportunities.

So at the beginning of the second half, Napoli changed their style of play, increasing the number of long-range shots, while cutting more inwards on the flanks, rather than simply and brutally crossing.

This change did catch Sampdoria off guard, and Sampdoria did not get into the state themselves.

Just two minutes into the second half, in the 47th minute of the game, Callejon took the ball on the side and cut in, and then suddenly shot a long shot at the edge of the penalty area.

Romero couldn't touch the ball despite making a save.

The ball kept spinning, going around Romero's ten fingers and going straight to the far corner of the goal!

"Danger!"

With Caressa's exclamation, the ball hit the post headlong and bounced out!

"Oh——!" The Sampdoria fans in the stands let out a frightened outgas.

Just as the Sampdoria fans were about to put their hanging hearts back down, the bouncing ball hit Romero's back before it hit the ground, and it bounced again, this time towards the goal......

There was nothing in the huge goal that could stop the goal from happening.

When the ball flew into the goal, the Malassi Stadium fell silent – no one had reacted and was not mentally prepared for the goal......

"This ...... GOL！！ Callejon! He pulled a goal back for Napoli! ”

Callejon himself was stunned, he didn't expect the goal to go in - when he saw the football hit the post, he raised his hands, ready to hold his head and regret it, but before he could hold his head, the football bounced back into the goal.

He froze for a moment, and his hand hung above his head.

After the reaction, the hands were raised again, and the regret turned into celebration.

His teammates swarmed and overwhelmed him.

The Sampdoria players inside and outside the box were stunned – they didn't expect to concede like this, and it was just two minutes into the second half.

What was supposed to be a safe two-goal lead turned into a dangerous one-goal lead in an instant!

Many Sampdoria players have not yet entered the game before they have been hit by such a huge impact......

Head coach Di Francisco stared at the pitch with wide eyes on the sidelines, looking confused.

He then turned back to his assistant and asked, "Did we really concede the ball?" ”

The assistant coach nodded regretfully.

"Hell!" Di Francisco couldn't help but scold.
