When Gao Zheng kicked out in the crowd, some Cagliari fans in the stands wanted to scream, but their mouths were open, but they couldn't make a sound, and they could only watch the football dodge goalkeeper Agazzi and bounce into the inside of the post.

It's like being in a silent nightmare.

Until the ball flew into the goal, the Cagliari fans did not make a sound.

They don't know what to make.

Ninety-first minute goals couldn't beat the game, and they were really speechless.

"Gao Zheng! Gao Zheng!! Liu Hong happily raised his arms and shouted. Gao Zheng shot first! It was his fifth league goal of the season! Sampdoria equalized again in the 93rd minute with this goal! And at this moment, there are more than twenty seconds left before the end of the game! ”

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng turned around and ran to the corner flag area, shaking his fingers as he ran, telling those Cagliari fans that you are too happy too early!

The other Sampdoria players flocked to Gao Zheng, grabbed him, and then pushed him to the ground and pressed him.

Celebrate right under the noses of the Cagliari fans.

At this time, it is really possible for them to end the game directly in celebration.

Not to mention the Sampdoria players on the field, even the Sampdoria substitutes and head coach Di Francesco and others rushed to Gao Zheng to celebrate with him.

The Cagliari players watched in amazement, with no one coming up to warn the referee not to let Sampdoria's celebrations run too wild.

Twenty seconds of game time has long passed, and football games are not like basketball and stoppage time, even if the game is interrupted, the game time will continue to flow, which is why there is the concept of "injury time".

As the Sampdoria players celebrated the goal, the clock was 94 minutes and 30 seconds.

After a bit of revelry, the Sampdoria players returned to their pitches.

The referee didn't blow the whistle to end the game, so the game had to go on.

The Cagliari fans in the stands finally regained some of their energy and started cheering for their team.

Hopefully, the team can beat Sampdoria again.

Although Sampdoria scored the goal, there were just over twenty seconds left before the end of the game, but Sampdoria celebrated for a minute, and if you add that time, a minute and a half minutes, there is still hope for a goal.

However, the referee clearly did not intend to add that time to stoppage time.

Just over twenty seconds after Cagliari drove the football, the whistle blew for the end of the game.

"It's over! Sampdoria escaped from the road and drew with goals from Berardi and Gao to get a point! ”

"It's not easy...... That's the price of a big swap. Bergomi commented. However, there is no way, with the thickness of Sampdoria's bench, they are not qualified to fight on multiple fronts, and they have to make a choice. Di Francisco should give his all in the Champions League, and the league can be sacrificed or not depending on the situation. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, because if you put a lot of effort into the Champions League, you can't let Sampdoria win the Champions League, but if you can't keep the league, let alone qualify for the Champions League next season, you will have to be relegated if you don't do it. ”

Bergomi said this after Sampdoria had just managed to draw with Cagliari, which was certainly not pleasing to Sampdoria fans, but as a neutral commentator, it made sense for him to do so.

What he said is also true.

For Sampdoria, it is impossible to expect a successful win in both the Champions League and the domestic league.

He believes that Sampdoria, who have learned from the past, should abandon the illusion of the Champions League and play well in the league, and it is already remarkable that this Champions League can reach the group stage. If you can play well in the league, strive to qualify for the Champions League next season, and participate in the Champions League for two consecutive years, it will be a good supplement to the team's finances and can bring in more quality players. And the existing players have been trained and accumulated Champions League experience, which is a sustainable path.

Based on this idea, he did not approve of Di Francesco's approach.

Perhaps it was the first Champions League group stage victory that gave Di Francisco unrealistic hopes for the Champions League?

※※※

In his post-match press conference, Di Francisco denied speculation that he would abandon the league and focus on the Champions League: "We didn't give up on a particular competition. But after just playing a tough game, I think it's normal to have a rotation policy and protect the fitness of the players. ”

But the media didn't believe him.

And then there's a chance to prove that he's telling the truth – the last league game before the next Champions League group stage is the sixth round, when Sampdoria travel to AC Milan.

After this match, they will fly to Amsterdam in the Netherlands to challenge Ajax.

If Di Francisco had really given up on the league and focused on the Champions League, he would have been able to rotate the same heavily as he did against Cagliari against AC Milan.

However, in this case, Sampdoria's away defeat to AC Milan should be nothing to suspense......

Merely...... Can Gao Zheng accept this result?

Everyone knows the grievances between him and AC Milan, although he says that AC Milan has a special status in his mind every time, but everyone is now completely clear, the so-called special status is a special status that he wants to kill every time he meets.

So if Di Francisco gives up the game with AC Milan in order to protect the Champions League, will Gao Zheng be able to accept it?

If he can't accept it, will he and Di Francesco have a conflict?

The discord between the coach and the main core of the team is a devastating blow to Sampdoria!

Thinking of this, those who were unhappy with Gao Zheng and Sampdoria were simply ecstatic, and they were waiting to see a good show.

What they didn't expect was that in the next fifth round of the league, in the match between Sampdoria and Roma, Di Francesco used the lineup from the last game in Cagliari.

That said, Di Francesco did not return to the main players who had already rested against Cagliari, but continued to rest them.

Why is that?

After the Roma game, there is no midweek game, and the next game is next Saturday, so there is no need to save energy in advance for this, and a qualified professional player still has the fitness to play twice a week.

What is the need to rotate the main players in this game?

Sampdoria, who rotated most of their main players, ended up losing 0:2 to Roma in this game without any suspense.

Di Francesco spread his hands in front of a group of incomprehensible reporters at the post-match press conference: "...... There are two big games for us, one in the league and the other in the Champions League. It's just a matter of preparing for these two games. ”

Only then did the media realise that Di Francisco had sacrificed the league against Roma to ensure that Sampdoria could put in the strongest squad against AC Milan.

He's not really sacrificing the league, he's just not sacrificing the league against AC Milan......

This answer disappointed the reporters, because they expected to see the discord within the team, and it did not happen.
