"Gao actually said that he wanted to win all three points at home, and when he said this, I don't know if he was underestimating the Champions League or overestimating himself? The qualifying victory obviously swelled him, and he thought that qualifying was all there was to the Champions League, but I must say that the difference between the two was far from that! ”

'It's normal, Steve, Gao has never played in the Champions League, and so has Sampdoria this team. They are inexperienced and full of all kinds of unrealistic fantasies and aspirations for the Champions League...... It's like the peasants fantasize about what the king should live, and think that the king also works in the fields every day, but the tools used by the king are made of gold......"

In the studio, including the host, guests and the audience sitting in the audience, laughed.

They felt that Sampdoria and Gao Zheng were like a group of hillbillies who did not know the height of the sky, and when they entered the city, they still regarded the orderly city as their rural countryside.

Naturally, the people in the city are full of superiority over these hillbillies.

This is a sports program being broadcast by Italy's Channel 5, and it is this program that made a special episode of Icardi's transfer to Inter Milan during the transfer period to mock Sampdoria.

This time they had apparently found a point to laugh at Sampdoria again.

But it's not just them doing it, other media outlets are saying this about what Gao Zheng said after the Genoese derby.

felt that Gao Zheng didn't understand anything at all, and didn't understand what the Champions League meant.

Some people think that Gao Zheng is used to being crazy in Italy, and he is even delusional and crazy about the Champions League. They are happy to see Gao Zheng being slapped in the face by the Champions League and teach him to be a man.

Gao Zheng felt strange about this, he said to his agent Viviano: "I thought I remembered wrong, our next game is not Celtic but Barcelona......"

Viviano smiled: "Celtic is not weak, and they have won the Champions League in history." ”

"Historically, China is still the most powerful country in the world." Gao Zheng pouted. "'Lao Tzu's ancestors are also wide' is meaningless."

With that, he picked up his phone and started typing on it.

"What are you going to say again?" Viviano looked curiously.

"You'll find out in a moment."

"Do you need me to wipe your ass?"

"No need, you have to see the lively welcome." Gao Zheng's fingers flew on the virtual keyboard of his mobile phone.

After a while he said, "All right." ”

Viviano hurriedly took out his mobile phone to open the social network, and Gao Zheng's new message appeared at the top of his homepage.

"When the first human said he wanted to take to the skies, all he got was ridicule and criticism. And it's funny that the descendants of these ridiculers and critics are enjoying the convenience of airplanes. If the above is too complicated for some people to understand, then to put it simply, if you can't even think about winning at home, if you don't even dare to mention it, they deserve not to participate in the Champions League. ”

Viviano laughed out loud when he saw this: "Ha, you're a map cannon, Gao Zheng." ”

Gao Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Welcome to the right seat." ”

The media criticized Gao Zheng for being too arrogant because the Celtics are not the kind of soft persimmons that can be pinched casually. The team is one of the biggest clubs in Scottish football, with the Champions League trophy won in 1966-1967, as well as 44 Scottish Premiership titles, 36 Scottish Cups and 14 Scottish League Cups.

Their Hall of Fame is much more spectacular than Sampdoria's.

In terms of honor and history, Sampdoria has not been able to compare with the Celtic in the slightest.

In terms of experience in the Champions League, Celtic also don't know how much more than Sampdoria. They also reached the round of 16 last season, only to be knocked out of the tournament after meeting Italian giants Juventus. In the Champions League group stage last season, Celtic were also in a group with Barcelona, along with Spartak Moscow and Benfica. These two teams are also strong teams, but in the end, it was Celtic who came out of the encirclement and joined Barcelona in qualifying, and they even beat Barcelona 2-1 at home, which is definitely not to be underestimated.

In fact, in this group with Barcelona, Celtic, Ajax and Sampdoria, Sampdoria is a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually in the eyes of everyone.

So when Gao Zheng showed such an attitude, he would naturally attract ridicule, thinking that he didn't know the height of the sky - he was obviously the weakest person in this group, but he felt good about himself and thought he was the king......

Now everyone is waiting to see Gao Zheng's jokes and see how he will face the media reporters after losing the game.

When the Celtic team arrived in Genoa, those reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic relayed Gao Zheng's bold words to Celtic head coach Neil Lennon.

'I know Gao, he's a dangerous player and we're going to defend against him.' Lennon said, but he did not make any positive response to Gao Zheng's words, an experienced head coach will not let himself fall into this kind of boring war of words.

He thought to himself that maybe Sampdoria wanted to provoke himself with a young genius and make him lose his cool judgment.

But they're going to be disappointed.

Sampdoria have only played in the Champions League once in their history, and that was the second season after their only Serie A title in their history.

At that time, the Champions League had not yet been reformed, and only the winners of each league could participate in next season's Champions League.

Although they have only played in the Champions League once, this team seems to have the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

The only time they participated in the Champions League, they actually entered the Champions League final in one go, and successively eliminated the last Champions League champion Red Star Belgrade, Belgium's consecutive champions Anderlecht, and Greek league champion Panathinaks, and finally faced off with La Liga champion Barcelona at Wembley Stadium, and the two sides fought to a 0:0 draw within 90 minutes, regardless of victory or defeat, and had to play extra time. In extra-time, Barcelona scored from a direct free-kick by Dutch international Coman to win 1-0 over Sampdoria.

Sampdoria's only Champions League experience was a runner-up finish, which is actually a good performance.

However, Sampdoria has only been brilliant once in their history, they have never won the Serie A title again, and they have not participated in the Champions League main match again - in the 2010-2011 season they participated in the Champions League qualifying round, but they were eliminated in the qualifying round and missed the main competition, so they are not serious enough to participate in the Champions League.

The only time I had a Champions League experience was 21 years ago, when all the Sampdoria players who had played in the Champions League retired. There are only a handful of Sampdoria players who have ever played in the Champions League.

Gao Zheng, the core of the team, is a Champions League chick and has no Champions League experience.

On the day of the Champions League matchday, Sampdoria fans began to prepare early for the evening at the Malasi Stadium as if it were a holiday.

For this reason, Clarian Moretti and his fan organization also turned over the "mountain is here" TIFO and put it in the Marassi Stadium in advance, considering that the Champions League opponents may not know Gao Zheng very well, so they used this way to tell the opponents that they are about to face a big mountain.

However, when someone posted this kind of picture on the Internet, it was ridiculed by fans of other teams:

"It's okay to say this kind of thing in China, and to say it in the Champions League, I'm really not afraid of being embarrassed!"

"What's the Champions League? Gao said he was a mountain? Then the Champions League is a place where there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside! ”

"This fully proves that Sampdoria fans are like frogs at the bottom of a well, do you really think the Champions League cares about this?"

"I think the Celtics were confused when they saw this TIFO - they didn't understand what Sampdoria meant, ha!"

However, these online ridicule did not affect the mood of Sampdoria fans, in fact, they have no unrealistic illusions about the team's results, and for them to be able to participate in the Champions League is already a great victory.

You must know that Genoa, as the sworn enemy of the same city, has not participated in the Champions League, and former giants such as AC Milan and Inter Milan have not played in the Champions League.

It is a remarkable achievement for them to be one of the three teams representing Italian football in the Champions League.

What the fans of other teams say, it doesn't affect them.

Win or lose, they want to show their style to the whole of Europe at home!
