Truth be told, being able to snatch their talent from the pesky Sassuolo squad really made Sampdoria fans happy.

They are expecting this to be the culminating start of Sampdoria's summer transfer action.

But it wasn't until the summer transfer window closed that they discovered that Berardi's transfer was the culmination of all Sampdoria's transfer moves this summer......

Following the closing of the summer transfer window, the Italian media put together a round-up review of the performance of Serie A teams in the transfer market.

In the comments of various media outlets, it is clear that this summer does not belong to Sampdoria.

There are two of the most sensational transfers in Italian football this summer, the first is that Real Madrid's former main scorer "Little Smoking Gun" Higuain left Real Madrid, where he played for many years, and switched to Napoli, for which Napoli FC paid a transfer fee of 37.5 million euros, and Higuain became the transfer target of Serie A this season.

Another sensational transfer has nothing to do with money, it has to do with feelings - Galliani helped AC Milan buy the former Milan golden boy Kaka from Real Madrid for free this summer. Kaka, who had struggled hard at Real Madrid, was never able to prove himself again, so he gave up his struggle this summer and returned to AC Milan, where he was like family.

Kaka's return has made AC Milan fans excited, although he will not be able to play in the Champions League in the new season, but with Kaka, he will definitely qualify for the Champions League next season!

The media is also hoping that Kaka, who is back at AC Milan, will be able to rediscover his sense in a familiar environment and become the all-powerful Mr. Golden Ball of yesteryear.

For AC Milan fans, they still have a layer of thought - Kaka is back, looking for revenge on Sampdoria this season, and paying back all the humiliation of last season a hundredfold!

Although Berardi's move to Sampdoria can be regarded as a hot transfer news among Sampdoria fans and local media, among the top ten sensational transfers in the summer compiled by "Milan Sports Newspaper", Sampdoria did not recruit any of them, but transferred one - Icardi transferred to Inter Milan for 15 million euros, which was ranked fourth on this list by "Milan Sports Newspaper".

I don't know if this is a kind of humiliation of Sampdoria by Milan Sport......

At club level, Napoli has become the most terrifying Serie A club this summer, with 37.5 million central striker Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid, 12 million central defender Albiol from Real Madrid, 10 million winger Callejon from Real Madrid, 9.5 million Mertens, more than 5 million Zapata, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina...... And so on, basically squandered all the transfer fees earned by Cavani, who was sold to Paris Saint-Germain.

However, this suffocating series of actions shows that Napoli are not willing to settle for last season's second place in the league. They want to overturn Juventus and win the Serie A title, so they have conquered the transfer market and become the club with the most spending in Serie A this summer, bringing in reinforcements across the four lines of risk, midfield, defender and goalkeeper, and Napoli can be said to be the most anticipated team in the new season.

Sampdoria is much shabby by comparison.

The most expensive signing is Berardi, half of which cost Sampdoria 9 million euros, or the situation of paying it off in three years, otherwise it would be difficult for Sampdoria to come up with the money at once......

The next reinforcements that need to be spent money are gone.

Those signings this season are either on loan, free transfer, or vouchers in transfer deals, such as the young defender Salamon from AC Milan, who is the voucher for Poli's transfer to AC Milan...... Oh, it's not that there are no other signings at all, De Silvestri, who was on loan last season, has continued to be loaned to Sampdoria this season, for which Sampdoria has paid a loan fee of 150,000 euros.

Nine and a half million, that's all the money Sampdoria spent on the transfer market this summer.

It's not half as much as Icardi.

It was really sad for those who heard it, and wept for those who saw it.

I didn't spend a lot of money on recruitment, but if I could do business, I could bring in some cost-effective players.

But with the exception of Berardi and De Silvestri, the other signings have either never heard of them, are unplayable from other teams, or are too young and inexperienced......

In terms of transfer-out, Sampdoria is like a Taobao online store that does activities on Double 11, in addition to Icardi and Poli, Patacchiola, Piowakari, Rossini, Macarone, Volta ...... These players, who were either substituted or rotated last season, have also left the team.

In terms of transferring players, Sampdoria has taken a total of 16 people, and they have only brought in 10 people, and it is difficult to say whether these 10 people can fill the vacancy of 16 people leaving.

For Sampdoria fans, the only thing that can comfort them is that after the departure of Icardi and Poli, the departure of others has not had a great impact on Sampdoria's main lineup, and young people such as Alberto Massi, Kosticsic, and Obiang are more mature after last season's training, and the future is more worth looking forward to. You must know that these people plus Gao Zheng have cooperated since the reserve team, and the tacit understanding is deeper than that of ordinary players.

As long as Gao Zheng has no accidents, referring to the team's results last season, this season should not be too bad.

According to the rating of 20 Serie A teams in the newspaper "Roma Sport", Sampdoria received a rating of six out of 10, which is acceptable.

The evaluation is also quite pertinent, leaving Icardi and coming to Berardi, but it is not easy to say that Berardi can fill the vacancy left by Icardi, and the recruitment of other aspects lacks highlights. Therefore, Sampdoria still has to rely on the old squad from last season in the new season, and then how far they can go depends mainly on Gao Zheng's performance.

As for Gao Zheng's performance......

By the time the composite scores were released, Sampdoria had already played two legs of Champions League qualification.

Their opponent in the qualifying round is PSV Eindhoven from the Netherlands, a traditional powerhouse of Dutch football.

However, with Gao Zheng's three goals in two legs, Sampdoria finally eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 3:2, advanced thrillingly, and qualified for the Champions League group stage, that is, the main match.

After the game, the media said that Gao Zheng was the only reason for Sampdoria to advance.

In the first leg, Sampdoria challenged PSV Eindhoven away, and if it weren't for Gao Zheng's 78th-minute goal to help the team equalize, Sampdoria would have lost to PSV Eindhoven away.

Back at home, Gao Zheng scored all two goals of Sampdoria to help the team defeat PSV Eindhoven 2-1 to advance with an aggregate score of 3-2.

If there is no Gao Zheng, these three goals will not exist, and Sampdoria will be eliminated 0:2.

Sampdoria's qualification for the Champions League was a delight for Sampdoria fans and Genoa's local media, as the city once again had the Champions League.

But those who don't like Sampdoria and Gao Zheng and wait to see the jokes of the two are very unhappy.

There are also media sourly saying that Sampdoria fans should not be happy too early, judging from their performance in the transfer market, maybe they will be eliminated in the qualifying round, which is a good thing for them, at least they can not be distracted by the Champions League, concentrate on the domestic league field, and finally get a reasonable position.

And the Champions League, a game played by giants and local tyrants, is not suitable for them at all. When the time comes, the multi-front battle will definitely drag down this team with little bench strength.

In fact, whether it is the Champions League or the transfer, it is a game played by rich people, and in these two games, everyone is not optimistic about Sampdoria's performance.

The performance of the transfer market can already be defined, and it can be passed.

If you consider that this team is still going to play in the Champions League, it is a failure.

After qualifying for the main event, Sampdoria were drawn in Group H in the group stage draw, which included the cosmic side Barcelona, as well as the old Dutch giants Ajax and the top Scottish giants Celtic. All three teams have won the Champions League.

Sampdoria have only won the Serie A title once and the Cup Winners' Cup once in this group......

After the group results came out, the Italian media could predict that Sampdoria would be eliminated after the group stage.

“…… That's not a bad thing for them, at least they can put all their energy into relegation in the second half of the league. ”

"Milan Sport" sarcastically said. <
