Chapter 297: The Old Spicy Opponent
If there is no way out, there is no need for a way out.
Laugh at me, and I'll do it!
Wang Dalong didn't feel how arrogant he was, he knew that his limit was there, and one day, they would all shut up!
When he went to Genoa, the media reporters were still surrounding him, but Wang Dalong did not give an interview, nor was he angry, only scoring in the field was the most convincing.
Wang Daling liked the city of Genoa very much, and although the reporter was indomitable to him, he still visited Genoa with great interest.
Genoa is located in the Gulf of Liguria and is a natural harbour. The city faces the sea and the mountains, and from the map, the old city part is like a large shell with a sharp top and a wide bottom, which develops along the terrain along the coast to both sides, and the city becomes thin and long.
The stone buildings here are magnificent and quaint, and the tall columns in front of the buildings are extraordinary.
The city is also home to two Italian Serie A teams.
One is Genoa and the other is Sampdoria, and the latter has more glory than the former.
It is not uncommon for Italy to have two First Division teams in one city, Milan has Inter Milan and AC Milan, Torino City also has Torino and Juventus, and even Rome City has Lazio and Roma.
This was at the time of the weakest Italian economy, and if it was before, there were more teams in Italy, especially in the lower leagues.
The economic downturn has led to the collapse or bankruptcy of many Italian teams, and then disappeared from the historical stage of football. I want to think of the city of Genoa, which is already very lucky.
Sampdoria isn't one of the seven Serie A sisters, but the team has won the Coppa Italia four times and once in their history. They had Robert on their team at the time? Mancini and Gianluca? Vialli, they are known by fans as the twin stars of goals.
They then helped the team win the Serie A title from 1990 to 1991.
For Chinese fans, Sampdoria fans are no strangers to this team. In 1994 and 1995, they both visited China and played two matches against the Chinese national team.
In fact, there are still many similarities between Sampdoria and Parma, both of which had a glorious history in the nineties and had great stars. Even Lippi, Montella, and Cassano have all appeared here, but the glory is still a little short-lived.
Sampdoria have also won the European Cup Winners' Cup and even reached the Champions League final, but these have been a long time since they were an ordinary team.
Now, the biggest player in their team is the former international Fabio? Quagliarella, who used to play for Juventus, is also almost thirty-five years old, and is still Sampdoria's starting striker.
Italy's forwards are a bit old and demonic, many ordinary teams, there are some old demons hidden, Quagliarella also played such a demon point, in the first three rounds of the league, he actually scored three goals, maybe he is Parma's biggest threat.
No veteran in Italy should be underestimated, and strikers who have proven this fact before abound.
For example, Robert Baggio, who played brilliantly in Brescia in his later years, Lucarelli, Toney, Di Natale, etc., are all getting older and more demonic, and now, Sampdoria fans also hope that the only star in their team can surprise them at home.
Sampdoria is a team characterized by possession and counter-attack, not just defensive counter-attack, but possession and counter-attack, with a focus on possession. They pay attention to the control of the ball, do not concede the ball easily, throw the ball to the opponent, in fact, they are much more difficult to deal with than Chievo, although there are no stars in the team either, but the overall play is quite good, the tactical system is very mature. This is something that Chievo cannot match.
Teams that are accustomed to possession of the ball generally do not follow the rhythm of the opponent, but take the initiative to control the rhythm and play calmly.
Sampdoria wore their traditional blue, blue and red shirt against the Cows, who had not won against Parma in a long time but were looking to turn that slump around when playing at home today.
Although Parma have been in the limelight recently, after the opening, Sampdoria was not intimidated by Parma's reputation at all, but firmly controlled the ball and did not frighten Parma at all.
In the first ten minutes, it was basically Sampdoria who were organising the attack, but fortunately their tempo was not fast, otherwise there would have been another storm in front of Parma's goal.
Crespo clearly feels that the team has encountered a tough bone again, this is a team that can control the ball!
You have to be patient enough with such a team, otherwise you really don't know when they will sneak attack, don't look at them just control the ball firmly in the middle and back, that's just to hook up with Parma's players to make mistakes, and then give a fatal blow.
That's why Crespo kept shouting from the sidelines, warning his players to be focused defensively.
However, he did not stop the players from making mistakes.
In the eighteenth minute, the young central defender still made a mistake, and Tymon, who rushed into the assist, took the ball in, but the ball was cut off, and the opponent directly crossed at 45 degrees, and Quagliarella's wandering run in the middle, dodged the defense of former national team teammate Bonucci, and grabbed a header in front of another central defender, Mina.
It was his fourth goal in the league and his second touch of the game! The first kick is the tee, and the second kick is this header! The older and more demonic Quagliarella interprets what it means to be an old demon.
"Oh my God, Parma is behind!"
Parma fans don't like it, and they are not used to the team falling behind. They have fallen behind twice this season, the first time against Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League, and the team lost the game, and the second time is now.
You can't lose the game, right? They were worried......
Lately it hasn't been going well, there are always things going wrong in the game, and although we won against Chievo in the last round, the process was not so easy.
Now, these problems have arisen again.
Oops, it's awful! Crespo cursed that he didn't want to face this situation every time, but in fact, he has encountered it in the last four games.
Sampdoria are too cunning, they play quite old-fashioned, and their style of play is very old-fashioned. On the surface, they have been showing weakness in central midfield, but in fact they have been waiting for Parma to show their feet and prepare to deal a fatal blow to Parma, and now they have done it......
