After Gao Zheng's goal, both teams made some substitutions.

Di Francesco consciously strengthened his defense, but he still kept Gao Zheng at the front, allowing him to threaten and intimidate his opponents.

Celtic stepped up their attack.

They were only one goal down and could have hoped for an equaliser before the end of the game if they fought back with all their might – at this point they were no longer thinking about the goal of taking all three points away from home and instead drawing with Sampdoria. It's better to take a point than not to take a point.

The next Celtic offensive was really fierce.

But Sampdoria wasn't embarrassed, and Sampdoria fans weren't flustered.

Because they are ahead, and because they still have Gao Zheng in front of them.

In the 87th minute, Gao Zheng received a long pass from his teammates directly from the backfield in the front court.

At that time, he was a Sampdoria player in the whole front field, and the others had not had time to come up to pick him up.

Generally, this kind of ball is basically lost after a short time, and being able to catch a throw-in in the front court is considered a successful performance.

As soon as Gao Zheng received the ball, he used his crotch to pass Scott Brown, a Celtics player who came up to defend him.

Then he didn't dribble directly to the Celtic goal, but slowly drove the ball forward.

When the second Celtics defender, Ambrose, came to him, he turned to protect the ball and held the opponent outside the Celtics penalty area while waiting for his teammates to come up and pick him up.

Ambrose was stuck behind Gao Zheng, and he wanted to break the ball but couldn't touch it, so he could only choose to defend around the front.

As a result, as soon as he circled forward, Gao Zheng suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, dodging him!

At this time, Gao Zheng suddenly picked up speed and rushed to the Cartic penalty area!

Sampdoria fans in the stands cheered for Gao Zheng with deafening cheers, and at the same time, the Celtic players were terrified.

Facing Van Dijk who came up to intercept, Gao Zheng shook a shot, the center of gravity of his body tilted to the left, but the outside of his right foot slammed the football to the right, and then his body broke through from the right.

Seeing that Gao Zheng was about to give himself over, Van Dijk had to make a decisive move and pulled Gao Zheng over.

The referee's whistle and the shrill boos of the Sampdoria fans sounded almost simultaneously, making it a little unclear for a moment whether the referee had blown the whistle until they both saw Stark's gesture.

"Van Dijk fouls! He had to use fouls to stop Gao! ”

"This foul will be a card...... A yellow card is definitely not going to run. ”

"Actually, it's better to play cards than to go high. Van Dijk's choice is quite normal...... However, Gao Zhen made the Celtic defense line too embarrassed, and one person made them uncomfortable! ”

Gao Zheng, who was pulled to the ground, was not in a hurry to stand up at all, he sat on the turf, took off the socks, sorted out the shin guards, and then pulled the socks back on. Then he switched legs and continued to repeat the process......

After tidying up, he didn't get up, but started to stretch the sitting body forward on the ground.

It wasn't until his teammates ran up slowly that they pulled him up from the ground.

Although Van Dijk and other Celtic players are very anxious, now that people have the final say, it is useless for them to be anxious. If you really want to save time, don't foul it......

After getting up from the ground, Gao Zheng did not deliberately delay time, such as putting a ball on three or four times, retreating and being dissatisfied and going up to re-swing the ball - this method of delaying the game time is too low-level, and the referee can see at a glance that he will not tolerate this, and if he doesn't have to eat a yellow card, he won't be able to draw it.

Gao Zheng swung the ball very quickly and crisply, and even before the human wall was set, he had already placed the ball, retreated and waited

"Gao Zheng got a free kick!" He Ping said excitedly that he seemed to see Gao Zheng score twice in this game.

The Sampdoria fans, who had been noisy in the stands, also quieted down, gathering strength to cheer for the next goal.

With the referee's whistle, Gao Zheng started to run, and then kicked the football towards the Celtic goal thirty meters away!

The wall jumped, but it couldn't stop the football.

Goalkeeper Foster soared into the air and pounced on the football, but still couldn't stop it!

In the blink of an eye, the ball hit the crossbar and the goalpost headfirst, and then bounced off the baseline!

"Oops!" He Ping hugged his head and shouted, "Beam! Gao Zheng's ball angle is basically a dead angle, just a little worse! As long as it hits the frame of the goal, it will be a goal! ”

"I didn't even enter, but if I did, the game would be killed by Gao! What a pity! Sampdoria had a chance to end the suspense of the game once and for all! ”

Gao Zheng was also disappointed, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

Sampdoria were disappointed, but Celtic were scared half to death – they almost said goodbye to the points in this game completely, not even picking up a point.

It was as if the football was not hitting the crossbar, but in their hearts, and their hearts and livers trembled.

※※※

Gao Zheng didn't score this free kick, which made his fans very depressed.

But for Sampdoria, that doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing.

Because after Gao Zheng's kick to the Celtics, they were a little frightened, and they didn't dare to invest more strength in the attack.

With little clock left in the game, Celtic were down by one goal but couldn't come out of the nest – they almost conceded just now. If they had to do it again, would they still have such good luck?

Moreover, the Celtics are not unified in their internal thinking, some people want to attack, and some people are afraid of Gao Zheng and don't want to attack.

The rest of the game passed in this tear.

When referee Stark blew the whistle for the end of the match, the atmosphere at the Marassi Stadium was at its climax, and all the Sampdoria fans could put their hearts back on their throats.

They won!

Don't worry about being drawn by Celtic in the end, and don't worry about the previous excitement being all down in the end.

Now they can celebrate with no worries.

Sampdoria picked up their first win since returning to the Champions League, their first points.

In the other group game played at the same time, Barcelona beat Ajax 4-0 on their home turf, so the former group winners of Group H are Barcelona and Sampdoria.

If Sampdoria are to make it out of the group, then a win in this game will be precious.

And even if Sampdoria fail to make it out of this group in the end, the victory will be a wonderful moment for Sampdoria fans to remember this season.

At least the Sampdoria fans are happy at this moment, and they don't think about what the future holds.

"It's over! Sampdoria wins! They beat the Celts! And Gao fulfilled what he said before the game - the home team is all about getting all three points! I think that although there are times when Gao says something that makes people feel like he is bragging, arrogant and unpleasant. But after going through so many times, most people should already know that Gao seems to be a very arrogant person, but he is indeed able to blow himself out! What a great thing! ”

Caressa really made no secret of his love for Gao Zheng.

Chinese commentator He Ping was also full of joy and pride: "Gao Zheng helped Sampdoria get three points, and he completed a number of firsts in this game. First score, first win. But I don't think this game will be a flash in the pan, and in the next Champions League games, Gao Zheng will definitely bring us more surprises. As a Chinese fan, staying up late to watch the Champions League is a very hard thing, but it is worth the joy that such a hard wait is worth it, we witnessed a beautiful goal and a victory. I hope Gao Zheng's wonderful performance can make everyone sleep well in the rest of the time...... Of course, I know that there will be many people who can't sleep with excitement, like me right now. But for tomorrow...... No, it's for today's work, or please take care of your body and protect your body, so that you can better watch Gao Zheng play football. I'm He Ping, thank you all for spending this unforgettable night with me, thank you, goodbye! ”
