At the start of the second half, the commentators quickly noticed that Sampdoria was not in the same state as in the first half.

Mainly in the players, they seem to have lost the stiffness and tension of the first half, and they are more comfortable.

"I don't know what changes Di Francisco made at half-time, but now the Sampdoria players don't seem to be nervous......"

Not long after the start of the second half, Gao Zheng sent a wonderful pass for Berardi, who headed the goal in the penalty area, and the goal was almost scored.

Berardi was disappointed to put his head in his hands, but the Sampdoria fans in the stands were not unhappy that he didn't score, but instead gave Berardi a round of applause, which was much warmer than in the first half.

Berardi made an apologetic gesture to Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng gave him a thumbs up.

In this game, Celtic defended Gao Zheng very tightly and hardly gave him a chance to get up, but they were not so concerned about the defense of other Sampdoria players. So Berardi will be able to get more chances in the box.

This Sampdoria team is of course playing in the Champions League for the first time, and they lack experience in the Champions League, like unseen hillbillies.

But in the same way, for those opponents of Sampdoria, they don't know much about Sampdoria, Gao Zheng is famous because of his outstanding performance last season, and the opponent can still know a little bit about him, and the other Sampdoria players, they almost don't know anything, especially Berardi who was still in Serie B last season.

Not to mention Celtic in Scotland, even those Serie A teams in Italy, few of them know Berardi.

Although Gao Zheng is a center forward, he is also very capable of scoring goals, he is not obsessed with scoring by himself, he shoots and scores when he has the opportunity, and he will not hesitate to pass the football to his teammates in a better position when he has no chance.

This is also the reason why Gao Zheng's league assists were able to reach double last season.

The Celtics thought that they would be able to contain Sampdoria's attack by staring at Gao Zheng.

It stems from their ignorance of Sampdoria.

At halftime, Di Francisco made a special deployment for this situation, allowing Gao Zheng to attract the attention of the Celtics' defense and create opportunities for other teammates, so he didn't need to have the ball to pass to Gao Zheng, and if someone was in a better position than Gao Zheng, he had to pass the football over.

Zaza and Berardi surrounded Gao Zheng, hiding in Gao Zheng's shadow and waiting for the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow.

Icardi was not willing to live in the shadow of Gao Zheng, but Zaza and Berardi were very happy to do so, and they were not reconciled at all.

Maybe it's because they never thought of being an enemy of Gao Zheng and competing with Gao Zheng.

※※※

Berardi's nose in front of goal is really good, and with a master like Gao Zheng behind him to attract defensive firepower for him and feed him the ball, he is even more powerful.

In the 65th minute, Gao Zheng was at the front of the penalty area, although he did not get the ball, but the Celtic did not dare to slack off on him, still surrounded two people around him, and the third person was not far away, eyeing Gao Zheng, if the Sampdoria player passed the football to Gao Zheng, he would immediately rush up and form a circle with his teammates, so that Gao Zheng could not get the ball.

But Gao Zheng seemed to ignore all this, and was still signaling his teammates to pass the ball to him.

Kostisic, who had the ball, hesitated, but decided to listen to Gao Zheng, and he raised his foot to pass the football over.

In order to avoid being intercepted in the middle of the ball, he passed the ball quite strongly.

In this way, Gao Zheng wants to play the ball very well, but it will test his ability to stop the ball very much, even if it is a little bigger, it will be a big mistake in the encirclement, which will cause the ball to change hands.

Seeing that the ball was passed to Gao Zheng, the Celtic defenders immediately surrounded him, and even if Gao Zheng received the ball, he couldn't make the next move.

Gao Zheng faced the football and was ready to catch the ball.

The three Celtic players are also ready to close the encirclement.

But when the football really rolled in front of Gao Zheng, he raised his foot and did not stop the ball, but leaked the football directly!

The ball passed under his crotch and also killed the Celtics defender by surprise.

They collectively froze around Gao Zheng, as if they had been subjected to petrification magic as soon as they approached Gao Zheng, and they couldn't move.

Gao Zheng...... One leak! ”

The football that was missed by Gao Zheng rolled into the penalty area and fell right at the feet of Berardi, who was running.

Berardi took the ball lightly with the outside of his right foot and shot with his right foot completely unguarded!

With a low shot, the ball rolled against the turf into the far corner of the goal.

Celtic goalkeeper Foster made a save and reacted quickly, but in the end he was a little bit away from football......

He could only watch the ball roll into the goal before falling to the ground.

The Marassi Stadium seemed to be a little unprepared for the goal, and it took about half a second for the ball to roll into the goal before everyone reacted.

An overwhelming cheer followed.

"The ball is in——!!" Karesala shouted in a long voice, "The ball is in!" In the 66th minute, Sampdoria took the lead at their home stadium and broke the deadlock! But it's not the high that scores, it's the ...... Berardi! Domenique Berardi! He scored his first competitive goal since joining Sampdoria! ”

"It's so beautiful that this ball leaks high!" Bergomi pays more attention to Gao Zheng. "He just took the initiative to ask Kostic for the ball, I'm afraid Kostic himself didn't expect him to complete an assist, he must just want to pass the football to Gao, but Gao took advantage of this very well, really deceived all the defenders and leaked the football to Berardi...... Berardi's movement was also subtle, and he ran right into that gap. But if there is no high leakage, all the rest will not be there. ”

"Sampdoria is ahead! Gao Zheng's clever miss helped Berardi score and scored his first goal in the Champions League! Although He Ping was cheering, he still regretted it in his heart, he hoped that Gao Zheng could complete this ball, but the fact is that the Celtics are really strict with Gao Zheng's defense, so Gao Zheng really has no decent shooting opportunities, and can only do some work to attract defensive attention for his teammates.

Of course, that's not bad, any team needs players to sacrifice and create opportunities for each other.

But He Ping was still a little eccentric - the cheer he was ready was intended to be dedicated to Gao Zheng.

※※※

Berardi didn't expect to score, he seemed to follow his body's instinct from running to kicking, and his brain didn't think.

It wasn't until the ball flew into the goal that his brain came back to work and realized that he had scored!

He was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Gao Zheng, he remembered that before he ran the position, the football was passed to Gao Zheng.

Although he ran the position, he didn't think that he would definitely receive the ball, he just saw that there was a vacancy there, and as a striker, it would be a dereliction of duty to see the vacancy and not insert it.

As a result, he ran to the empty space, and the football came, Gao Zheng didn't catch the ball, and directly leaked the ball to him!

When he turned his head to look at Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng had already turned around and ran towards him with open arms.

"Well done! Champions League first goal, you have to treat tonight! Gao Zheng smiled and rubbed his hair.

But Berardi was still a little confused, and asked rhetorically: "Did I score?" ”

"Of course you scored!" Gao Zheng is funny.

"But...... But isn't it time for you to score? ”

"Who says I should score? It doesn't matter who scores, he can win! Gao Zheng patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "You have a treat tonight, don't forget!" ”
