As soon as the game began, AC Milan launched a fierce attack on Sampdoria's goal, and the anger of each AC Milan player was almost materialized.

Careza said: "AC Milan got into the game very quickly today, they got into the game almost as soon as referee Marco Jeddah blew the kick-off whistle. But it's normal to think about it - AC Milan must not know how long they have been preparing for this game, and they must return all the shame of losing four goals in the last meeting here today to Sampdoria! ”

Bergomi said: "AC Milan do have that confidence because they have been doing so well lately. In fact, since losing 3-1 to Fiorentina in the 12th round of the league on November 11 last year, they have only lost one game – the 18th to Roma. There was also a wave of four consecutive wins. In fact, they have come out of the 4-0 defeat to Sampdoria in the first round, but for the players, maybe a sign is needed to confirm it......

Caresa laughed, "That's really ...... AC Milan need to beat Sampdoria to break the knot, which has never happened in the past! ”

"Because San, Sampdoria has a high this time." Bergomi said earnestly, and then laughed himself.

AC Milan players may think that Sampdoria really despised them because of their performance in the pre-match players' performances.

But in reality Sampdoria takes this game very seriously within them.

Di Francisco focused on AC Milan's vengeful situation and arranged a counter-attacking tactic for the team.

In fact, Sampdoria really didn't want to create some illusions to make AC Milan think that they were underestimated.

Gao Zheng really didn't show anything special in training, they just told the truth when they were interviewed.

But the Milan media was stunned and didn't believe it, what could they do?

And what happened in the player tunnel is just a coincidence, in fact, it reflects the relaxation and maturity of the Sampdoria players. That mentality has been present since they were able to beat Juventus 2-1 with 10 men away from home.

That game was a huge boost to the players' confidence - although it was Gao Zheng who scored the goal, the team was able to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of Juventus with one less man, which also showed that their defense was very good and withstood the test.

It was also because of his performance in that game that Di Francesco arranged a defensive counter-attacking tactic against AC Milan in this game.

As a result, the confidence shown by the Sampdoria players before the game was interpreted by the AC Milan players as pride.

In a rage, he launched a fierce attack on the Sampdoria goal, hitting them only to hit the iron plate.

In the opening ten minutes, there was a flood of attacks, but they were unable to break through Sampdoria's goal.

Allegri lined up in a 433 formation for this game, with Bojan in the middle, El Shaarawy on the left and Mbaye Niang on the right.

This forward combination can be said to be an FM demon combination, but apart from El Shaarawy's excellent performance this season, neither Bojan nor Niang have performed far worse than the game.

Therefore, this attacking lineup is not much danger to the Sampdoria backline, and the thunder is big and the rain is small.

El Shaarawy has worked hard, and the only threat from AC Milan in the past ten minutes has come from him.

But on his own, the threat he can bring is limited enough.

After withstanding AC Milan's three-board attack in the opening game, Sampdoria began to fight back.

Unlike AC Milan's thunderous and rainy attacks, Sampdoria did not have many counter-attacks, but they were very threatening.

In the eighteenth minute, Gao Zheng made a long diagonal pass to Icardi in the counterattack, and after Icardi stopped the football with his chest, he shot with his foot, forcing AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati to make a wonderful save and pull the football out of the bottom line with his fingertips.

"Icardi!! Beautiful and confident shots! ”

Di Francesco started playing as a striker three at the start of the season, but with the injury of Maxi López, the decline in form of Pozzi and Eder, and the active performance of Icardi, Sampdoria now switched to a two-striker, Gao Zheng and Icardi.

Although Icardi's current goal tally is far less than Gao Zheng's, the talent he has shown has been well known.

Now in Sampdoria's starting lineup, there are young players such as Gao Zheng, Icardi, Kosticic, Obiang, and Masi, these young people have a kind of newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so although they are young, they dare to fight when playing against opponents. The initial form was really up and down, showing the common problems of young people, but these young people are also growing up quickly in the game and doing better and better.

The defeat to Juventus in the last game under extremely unfavorable circumstances is the best proof of this.

Of course, the reason why this Young Guard was able to grow up so quickly had a lot to do with the people who escorted them - if it weren't for Gao Zheng, this ship full of young people would have sunk long ago......

It is precisely because of Gao Zheng's goals one after another, helping the team to achieve good results even if it encounters ups and downs, and is still in seventh place, Di Francesco is not under much pressure, and it is possible to continue to implement his youth strategy.

Under Gao Zheng's "escort", both Kostisic, Marcy and Icardi have grown up rapidly.

Now they are able to stand in their respective positions.

Like the reason why Icardi was able to have such a calm opportunity just now, it is also inseparable from Gao Zheng's wonderful pass.

Although Gao Zheng is a center forward, he is very comprehensive, with a large range of activities, excellent skills, and a strong sense of the overall situation, but he is more like an offensive free man. He can link up with his team, score on his own, or draw the opposition defence and create chances for his team-mates with clever passes.

Therefore, although the outside world has been criticizing Di Francisco for making Gao Zheng the core, Di Francisco has not wavered in his thoughts at all, and firmly supports and believes in Gao Zheng.

And Gao Zheng's performance did not disappoint him.

In the twenty-fifth minute, Gao Zheng retreated to meet his teammates.

Obiang passed the football to him from behind, and Gao Zheng did not catch the ball, but waited in place.

This made Montolivo feel that he had a chance, so he decisively grabbed it, intending to shovel the football before Gao Zheng.

But he obviously made a mistake in judgment, and instead of grabbing the ball, he created a gap behind him!

Seeing this, Ambrosini, the captain of the team, realized that it was going to be bad, so he hurriedly rushed to fill the position.

While he rushed up, Gao Zheng waited for the football, he did not receive the ball and then adjust and turn, but directly stopped the football behind him with the inside of his right foot, and at the same time he turned around again, and received the ball until he turned around in one go.

As soon as he turned, he faced Ambrosini, who was robbing.

Gao Zheng's body leaned to the left, as if he wanted to move the football directly to the left.

Ambrosini had just run to the position, and before he could gain a firm foothold, he was forced to face Gao Zheng.

He spread his legs and lowered his center of gravity.

Gao Zheng's center of gravity leaning to the left was indeed a feint, and he turned the football to the right with his right heel.

Ambrosini, who intercepted head-on, hurriedly moved sideways to the right, and then stretched out his foot to shovel Gao Zheng and the football at his feet.

Gao Zheng caught up with the football with one of his lunges, gave full play to the advantage of his longer legs, and buckled the football back with one kick, and Ambrosini shoveled it empty!

The football passed by him, and he could only watch the football roll over, but there was nothing he could do - he now lost his center of gravity and slipped to the ground.

He was unwilling to watch Gao Zheng get rid of him like this, so he turned over and wanted to get up from the ground, but he kicked his leg and found that it was broken...... He seemed to have strained his thigh muscles in the tackle just now - he had spread his legs wide apart in order to maximize the defensive area of the tackle......

"Gao Zheng! Pretty feints! He connected the two of them in one go! Liu Hong cheered for Gao Zheng excitedly. He continued to dribble towards the AC Milan penalty area! ”

AC Milan was on the verge of a big enemy, and Abbiati pointed at Gao Zheng in front of the goal and shouted: "Stop him!" Fouls are OK too! ”

At this time, he couldn't think about it, and Gao Zheng also had a hand in free kicks.

Because he didn't expect Gao Zheng to be able to pass two of his teammates in a row so easily, AC Milan's back line was originally relatively backward, which gave Gao Zheng space to dribble forward.

At this time, if they rush out to defend, they will naturally not do so well to take care of other places, such as AC Milan central defender Mex, who came up to intercept Gao Zheng, and there will inevitably be a vacancy behind him.

And this gap was immediately occupied by Icardi diagonally.

At the same time, Gao Zheng poked the football with his toes and stabbed the football to Icardi, who had already occupied the vacancy!

"Icardi ——!" In the midst of Caressa's prolonged shout, Icardi took Gao Zheng's pass to the side and took the shot!

He ran towards the near corner, but turned and fired the ball into the far corner, which caught goalkeeper Abbiati off guard!

Abbiati could only use his feet to try to block the football, but he couldn't.

The ball went into the back corner of the goal!

"The ball is in!! Icardi! Mauro Icardi! It was his fifth league goal of the season! In the 26th minute of the game, Sampdoria led AC Milan 1:0 at home! ”

"AC Milan focused too much on Gao and completely ignored Icardi...... In fact, Icardi is also a young player with excellent quality and should not be underestimated......

Belgomi said, but it's too late to say that.
