"Twenty-five minutes into the first half, Sampdoria had already threatened the Atletico Madrid goal on several occasions. It seems that Simeone's pre-match touting did not numb Sampdoria, but instead caused alarm on the Sampdorian side, whose players were particularly focused and cautious...... It's all to blame for Simone's overexertion when he praised Gao Zheng......" He Ping said and laughed.

At the pre-match press conference, Simeone inexplicably began to praise Gao Zheng, thinking that he wanted to kill Gao Zheng.

However, looking at the performance of Gao Zheng and Sampdoria other players in the current game, everyone knows that Simeone must have failed, which is really self-defeating.

If he hadn't tried his best to advocate Gao Zheng before the game, maybe the game wouldn't have been like this.

The telecast gave Simeone a close-up, which seems to be what it means.

In the close-up, Simeone sits in the dugout, his hands around his chest, his hair neatly combed behind his back, and his expression grim, as if he is worried about the fate of his team, but also trying to pretend to be calm.

I'm afraid that at this moment, Simeone, who smashed before the game, is not much different from the image of a clown in the eyes of many Gao Zheng and Sampdoria fans.

※※※

Just when Gao Zheng and Sampdoria continued to impact the Atletico Madrid backline, and the Atletico Madrid goal was precarious and crumbling, there was a sudden accident on the field.

Atletico Madrid passed the ball into the Sampdoria penalty area.

Captain Gastadro jumped up in defence for the top and managed to get the ball out before Diego Costa.

But in the process of falling, because Diego Costa bent down to carry him underneath, he lost his balance when he landed, and his shoulder hit the ground first, and his whole body was pressed on his shoulder, and he hit the ground hard......

"Oh my God!" Seeing this scene, Caresa shouted directly, although he didn't know the specific situation, but just seeing this scene was enough to make him exclaim again and again, and he had bad thoughts in his heart. As an experienced commentator, he knows exactly what to expect from landing in this pose......

Sure enough, after landing on the ground, Gastadero covered his shoulders with his hands and lay on the ground without getting up.

Other Sampdoria players rushed forward, some concerned about the captain, others angrily questioning Diego Costa, believing that his action was a deliberate hurtful move.

Everybody is playing football, and you know what happens when a guy jumps with all his might, and you push someone down there.

Of course, it's out of balance, and it's just a green onion.

This is a very dangerous move.

Diego Costa, on the other hand, spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders to show that he didn't mean to. But the devil believes him, what Costa's style of play is like, everyone has heard of it, and if he doesn't know it, he is deliberately making it bad.

At this time, the Atletico Madrid players also rushed to protect their teammates, pulled Diego Costa out of the crowd, and protected him from the Sampdoria players from approaching him easily.

Portuguese referee Pedro Proenza came up to blow for a foul on Diego Costa, but there was no verbal warning, not even a yellow card, which caused dissatisfaction among the Sampdoria fans in the stands, and immediately booed.

Amid the boos, Sampdoria's team doctor and stretcher ran onto the pitch.

After a brief examination, the Sampdoria team doctor made a "substitution" gesture to Di Francesco on the sidelines.

"Gastadero can't hold on, judging from his expression, the injury is not light...... "He Ping is a little worried that the captain's injury will have a negative impact on Sampdoria.

He always felt that when Sampdoria was gaining momentum, the sudden injury of the main centre-back did not bode well.

Also feeling that this is not a good sign is Di Francesco, who, after seeing the gesture made by the team doctor, turned to his assistant coach and said: "Go and call Mustafi back!" ”

He then cursed and protested to the fourth official: "How could Diego Costa's action be just a verbal warning?" Why don't you give cards?! His dirty move deprived us of a centre-back! ”

The fourth official is like a wooden man, with a blank face and allowing him to vent his emotions. Anyway, if the manager goes overboard, he'll let the referee know and write it all down in the post-match report.

While Sampdoria was at a loss for Gastadro's injury, Diego Simeone, who was sitting in the coach's box, suddenly left his seat and stood up.

He sniffed as if he had smelled something.

※※※

Gasadero was eventually carried off the pitch on a stretcher, covering his face with one hand, unable to move on the side of his injured shoulder, and he was frustrated by the fact that he clearly knew how badly he was injured.

Mustafi was called upon to replace Gastadero and formed a centre-back partnership with Alberto Masi.

The German defender moved to Sampdoria from Everton's Under-21s in January 2012, although he was not able to play just one game that season at Sampdoria after his arrival.

Because of Alberto Massi's return and outstanding performances last season, he was mainly a substitute in the team.

This season, because Sampdoria has played on multiple fronts, the number of appearances has increased significantly, and it has become a rotation player.

However, in such a game, no one can say what kind of performance he can perform in a hurry.

And Gastadero's injury interrupted Sampdoria's good momentum, as if a big pit suddenly blew the wheel and had to stop and change the tire while galloping.

Although you can continue to walk after changing the tire, the spare tire is only for emergency use after all, and the speed limit is required. Originally, he could run 120 kilometers per hour, but with a spare tire, he could only run at most 80 kilometers per hour.

The speed can't go up, the mentality is not the same as before, and the interest is broken, I'm afraid that even if I can run fast, I don't want to run fast.

Taking advantage of the substitution on Sampdoria's side, Diego Simeone called the team's captain, Gabi, to the sidelines to teach him.

When the game resumed, Atletico Madrid, who had been on the back foot and had been pressed by Sampdoria, became more aggressive, putting more pressure on Sampdoria and targeting Mustafi, who had just been substituted.

What Simeone's intentions were, it was already clear.

In such a situation, in order to ensure that they do not concede goals, Sampdoria had to start recovering and first push through this wave of Atletico Madrid's attack.

In this way, the previous continuous offensive and that positive momentum were interrupted.

"The situation has changed and Atletico Madrid is regaining the initiative little by little. And all because of Gastadro's injury...... It's a shame that Sampdoria didn't score another goal before then! "Karesa feels sorry for Sampdoria. If Sampdoria can take a two-goal lead, they won't be so nervous now, and the players will perform differently with different mentalities.

"Football is like that, it's full of surprises. However, Costa does play a bit dirty...... "Bergomi was unhappy with Costa's foul and thought the referee had given it too lightly.

Sampdoria fans apparently thought the same way, so every time Diego Costa got the ball, there were shrill boos in the stands, hitting everyone's eardrums and hearts.

Diego Costa, however, didn't care about the boos at all, playing how he wanted to play and even threatened Sampdoria's goal once.

It's really scared and hated by Sampdoria fans.
