The equaliser was a real morale boost for Roma, and when the game resumed, they continued to attack Sampdoria's goal.

Originally, the Roma team coached by Rudy Garcia was very good at attacking. Now, when they were on fire, Sampdoria's backline was like a boat bouncing up and down in the wind and waves, thrown to the top of the wave from time to time, and then slapped into the waves.

It makes people frightened, for fear that the next wave will come down, and this Ye Bian boat will become a pile of debris and float on the sea.

Although the sailors on the deck gritted their teeth and fought against the wind and waves, they did not know how long they could resist such an operation, or if this resistance would be in vain, and they would inevitably die in the end.

And in this way, the only reason why they did not give up was that their captain had not given the order to abandon ship.

Every sailor has his eyes on their captain, who, though young, has saved the lives of entire ships on countless occasions on the unpredictable seas.

He has already won the trust and respect of the most discerning sailors with his practical actions.

So the reason why these sailors are so embarrassed and miserable, and they never let go, is simple, they are waiting for the captain to make the right choice and help them out of danger.

But this is fraught with uncertainties and risks.

Most likely, before their captain could make a move, the ship was torn apart by the raging sea.

But this is the fate of sailors - they have been fighting the sea all their lives, and the result is nothing more than one of two things: either they will overcome the sea or they will die at the bottom of the sea. But even if they die at the bottom of the sea, it is their inevitable fate.

They know the horrors of the sea better than anyone else, but they also face it braver than anyone else.

"Roma were on the attack, Sampdoria's goal was in jeopardy, and the Roma fans in the Olympic Stadium cheered higher and higher...... If Sampdoria doesn't do something about it, it's dangerous! ”

"It's hard to say, maybe it's in the best interests of Sampdoria to give up the Coppa Italia?" Bergomi said.

"In that case, why do you have to put out a starting lineup like this?"

"Don't want to make the abandonment so obvious...... Bergomi guessed. After all, it's not justified to give up a competition naked, so on the one hand, you have to make a show, and on the other hand, you want the team to lose the game - you see, like now, a goal in the game, a lead, and finally a regrettable defeat because Roma gave it their all, obviously it is better to send a group of substitutes and youth team players and simply lose the game......"

Careza was silent, but he felt that there was some truth to what Bergomi had said.

Perhaps this is exactly what Di Francisco wanted to achieve.

When everyone saw Sampdoria's starting lineup, they were all deceived by this all-main lineup, and their minds were full of whether Sampdoria wanted to make a difference in the Coppa Italia......

But in fact, Di Francesco still has no intention of giving up the Coppa Italia.

It's just that this kind of abandonment is indeed much more clever than before.

Sampdoria were eliminated in the first round of last season's Coppa Italia, and they told everyone that their goal that season was the league, and that no other games should interfere with the team's relegation cause...... Of course, the final result was really good, without the interference of the Coppa Italia, Sampdoria not only successfully relegated, but also won the third place in the league and reached the Champions League this season.

However, Sampdoria was promoted at the time, and it didn't matter if they gave up the competition in the first round of the Coppa Italia.

But now that they are the third runner-up in the league, it may not be very reasonable to be so naked.

So Sampdoria should start replacing the main players next and prepare for the next league game, right?

The TV broadcast was cut to Sampdoria coach Di Francesco, who saw that the young coach had an indifferent expression and did not seem to be in a hurry.

This deepens Kareza and Bergomi's judgment of Sampdoria's purpose.

※※※

Of course, Di Francisco was not so calm because he had to give up this game, but because he calmed down after seeing Gao Zheng's smile.

He knew that Gao Zheng loved to laugh, but he also knew that if he encountered difficulties and Gao Zheng smiled, it meant that this super genius was going to open up......

In that case, what else is there to worry about?

All he has to do now is to be calm and pass on this heart to his players, and all that remains is to watch Gao Zheng's performance.

Roma's offensive was still fierce, but Di Francesco began to pay attention to the space behind Roma after each attack.

※※※

Gao Zheng is also paying attention to the vacancy behind Rome.

As a centre-forward, he was up front, but in order not to be offside, he returned to his own half, and there were basically only two Roma centre-backs in front of him, and their full-backs were pressed up to get involved.

And they don't come back to defend every time they finish the attack, but they will continue to stay in the front court and wait for the next offensive opportunity.

They have no problem doing so, because Sampdoria's counter-attacks rarely make it past half-time, and with the attacking momentum that Roma are showing now, Sampdoria is basically only able to parry, and there is no way to fight back.

That's good news for myself.

The bad news is that because the Roma offensive is too fierce, the two wings are pressed very high, so whether it is Berardi or Zaza, they are very deep in defense, and they can't rush up to meet them in a short time.

If there is a chance to fight back, there is a good chance that he will have to fight alone.

However, this kind of thing is something that he did when he was in the Milan junior team before...... It's not too difficult.

Totti picked up the ball just outside the box and his team-mates were running aggressively, making a feint to pass the ball out, only to be swooped in and fired a long-range shot.

The shot was sudden and of high quality.

Romero jumped up and made a save, but he didn't touch the football.

Luckily, the ball ended up hitting the crossbar!

There was a loud sigh from the stands at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, lamenting that Totti had not scored the goal.

"Totti – beam! Ah! What a shame! What a brilliant shot! The quality of the long-range shot was so high that Romero was on the verge of surrendering, but the crossbar saved him! ”

The ball hit the crossbar and did not bounce off the baseline, but bounced back into the pitch.

Neither player could think about anything else, with Sampdoria having to clear the ball and Roma having to take the second place and reorganise the attack.

Alberto Massi, who was back in the starting line, leaped high from the edge of the penalty area to get ahead of the Roma players and push the ball into midfield.

It was a pure clearance, and it would be nice for him to be able to push the ball out, not even thinking about who he would get the ball after the ball was over.

Even if Roma get the ball, it won't allow them to receive the ball so close to the goal.

Alberto Massi's header was powerful and the ball flew straight to the touchline near the halfway line.

Gao Zheng, who was originally in the middle circle, chased the landing point and ran over, wanting to catch the ball.

On the Roma side, a central defender Burdisso immediately followed from behind, intending to stick to Gao Zheng when he stopped the ball, while Roma's midfielder De Rossi was also running back from the front, moving closer to Burdisso, intending to pinch Gao Zheng back and forth.

In this case, Gao Zheng's best thing to do is to do the football back and pass it back to the Sampdoria players he can see. As long as Roma doesn't get the landing point in the first place and reorganizes the attack, he will be considered to have completed the task.

The rest is not what he should be thinking about as a centre-forward.

Gao Zheng, who ran to the landing point, glanced back and determined Burdisso's position, and at the same time, De Rossi was already rushing to him.

I saw Gao Zheng raise his right foot slightly, as if he was about to stop the ball.

De Rossi took an arrow step and accelerated to rush up.

The football fell, but Gao Zheng did not stop the football, but used the inside of his right foot to slam the falling football to the left rear of his body!

The ball flew in front of Burdisso.

At the same time, Gao Zheng did not stay in place, and when he knocked the football over, he turned around and started to accelerate, breaking out of the encirclement of Burdisso and De Rossi!

When De Rossi rushed up, he was not able to stop Gao Zheng, on the contrary, he almost collided with Burdisso.

Finally, their common goal, Gao Zheng, has completed the action of turning and starting, accelerating to catch up with the football and bringing the football to the second half of Rome!

"High! Nice stop ball get rid of!! He teased Burdisso and De Rossi! Sampdoria's counterattack!! ”

In the storm, the captain keenly captured the gap between the wind and the waves, and commanded the ship to rush to the edge of the storm, in the case that ordinary people were so frightened by the furious nature that they couldn't stand, only the captain who was extremely calm and surprised could make such a decisive decision, this was a maneuver to death!
