In the end, Sampdoria defeated Verona 5-0 at their home stadium with Gao Zheng's hat trick and goals from Berardi and Palombo.

Those who thought Sampdoria would be in the slump due to back-to-back defeats were disappointed.

It only took one game for Sampdoria to adjust.

And considering that the last loss to Atalanta was due to Sampdoria's own initiative to carry out a large rotation, it can even be said that Sampdoria was not affected by the elimination of the Champions League at all......

Although the big win did not move Sampdoria up the league standings, it did give everyone confidence in the team's upcoming games.

Besides, the next match between Sampdoria and Sassuolo will be very high for anyone who is familiar with Gao Zheng and Sassuolo's grievances - even if Sampdoria is away, as long as Gao Zheng is okay, it will be difficult for Sampdoria to lose.

After the game, the Italian media were reporting on Gao Zheng's hat trick.

Speaking of which, this is Gao Zheng's hat-trick in two consecutive games - he didn't play against Atalanta at all, so he wasn't counted in it.

The state is so good, it makes people feel that not only Sampdoria has not been affected by the elimination of the Champions League, but Gao Zheng has not been affected either. Or in other words, it is precisely because Gao Zheng has not been affected by the elimination of the Champions League that Sampdoria has not been affected......

It's a bit twisty to say this, but everyone can understand that in short, Sampdoria's fate is basically tied to Gao Zheng.

“…… Gao scored a hat-trick against Verona to help Sampdoria beat Hellas Verona 5-0 at home to end a four-game losing streak. At the same time, Gao also relied on this hat-trick to tie Icardi in the league scorer list, and the two are now also in the top ten, and there are Chinese fans who are worried about this, worried that Gao Zheng will really lose in the opponent's wheel battle.

There are also people who are concerned and chaotic, shouting that Italy is despicable and shameless, and as a result, they are ridiculed, saying that this is fair competition, what is despicable, and is it not allowed for other families to compete for the golden boot?

After the league championship is hopeless, the Italian Cup has been won, and the Champions League has been eliminated, Chinese fans are now the two things they are most interested in, one is whether Gao Zheng will go this summer, and if so, where will he go. The other thing is naturally the Golden Boot battle.

Of course, everyone hopes that Gao Zheng can defend the Golden Boot, but they also know how difficult it is.

In the 32nd round of the league, Sampdoria challenged Lazio away.

The day before, the match between Inter Milan and Bologna had been played, and Icardi had scored again, taking his league goal to the 20-goal mark for the first time and leading the scorer charts.

The next day, the match between Sampdoria and Lazio was played at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

At one point, Lazio led Sampdoria by two goals.

But in the end, they couldn't take all three points, and the final result was a 2-2 draw.

The one who equalized for Sampdoria was none other than Gao Zheng.

He scored twice in the game, not only helping Sampdoria to draw with Lazio, but also surpassing Icardi again in the league scorers' charts, holding Icardi under him with 21 goals.

Despite the draw with Lazio, Sampdoria are winless in two games and have dropped to 12th place in the table. But Sampdoria fans don't care what the team's final result is, because it's impossible to be relegated anyway, and it's impossible to win the title.

There's just one thing they care about, and that's whether Sampdoria can fight their way out of so many people and successfully defend their league top scorer title.

The next round of the league is Sampdoria's home match against Inter Milan, which is a direct dialogue between the first and second places in the league's scorer list.

This is far more important than the match between Samp and Inter Milan.
