Ahead of this game, Sampdoria were still very serious about Brescia, who have been in fantastic form during this period, with three successive victories proving that they are in a very good form at the moment. Last season's Serie A runners-up have shown their strength this season.

Originally, Sampdoria planned to play steadily at home, to entangle with the opponent, to stabilize the defense first, and then to think about the attack.

Who knew that the team would be able to secure a two-goal advantage so easily, which was completely different from the expected battle.

It's like thinking you're meeting a wolf, but you turn out to be just a husky.

After the release of the starting list for the pre-match match, many media believed that Brescia had strategically abandoned the league for the next Champions League. After all, it's still obvious which is more important than the Champions League and the league, don't you think they have already replaced half of their starters?

However, Sampdoria coach Walter Novellino still kept his players to be taken lightly before the game, stressing to the players more than once that Brescia is still a dangerous team as long as the Chinese is still on the pitch.

Only now, in the eyes of Sampdoria's players, Novellino is really a little too cautious. The quality of the opponent is well known to the players who are involved in direct confrontation on the court, and this is a first-hand experience of the physical contact and offensive and defensive encounters again and again.

Is Brescia's desire to win strong today? The answer is obvious. Although the Chinese is indeed very troublesome, football is a sport of eleven people, and when the other players are weak, Zhang Shu is useless even if he works hard.

It seems that Brescia has really shifted all their focus to the Champions League, and many Sampdoria players think so.

As a result, they inevitably have a hint of slackness.

After Caracciolo kicked the ball from the halfway line, he ran to the front court as always, which is the fixed action of every center forward after the kick-off. And Zhang Shu, who received the ball, also passed the ball back to his teammates behind him as he had done countless times before when he opened the midline ball.

But this time, instead of following Caracciolo as before, he stood near the centre circle after the pass.

In this game, the teammates were not excited enough in the game, and they were too slow to enter the game, so that they were caught off guard by the opponent. And after conceding the goal, he was unbalanced because of the rush to equalize, which led to more mistakes.

This happened in the first round of the league, but what was more troublesome than that game was that this time not only Baggio was not there, but even Pep Guardiola did not play.

Without Pep Guardiola's midfield arrangement, Brescia, who is mainly young, played more simply and brutally in midfield, often using more aggressive ways when advancing, resulting in the opponent's dispossession.

Zhang Shu had barely gotten a few chances to catch the ball in the front court, so he retreated to his position to better receive passes from his teammates.

"The right choice." Pep Guardiola nodded. Now is the time when Sampdoria is in full swing, and instead of staying in the front and causing a disconnect between the front and back, Zhang Shu should retreat to the midfield and become a hub connecting the front and back.

The adjustment was immediate, and Zhang's recovery narrowed the distance between him and the midfielders, and Brescia had to either rely on Mauri and Mattuzalen to get the ball forward or Di Biagio's long pass, either of which was risky.

It's much easier to get the ball to him now, just a few short passes.

And Zhang Shu did not turn around with the ball to attack at the first time after receiving the ball, but continued to pass back to his teammates, and then ran to the next position and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Run from the middle to the left and from the left to the right.

As he ran, he kept watching Sampdoria respond.

At the beginning, as the football was constantly shifting direction by Zhang Shu, Sampdoria's defensive center of gravity was also constantly deflecting. But as time goes on, the speed of this deflection slowly decreases.

Brescia's performance seemed to Sampdoria's players to be nothing more than an unmotivated time, so if you want to spend it, it's we who are leading by two goals anyway.

Even if it takes 90 minutes, it's not us who should be in a hurry.

"Zhang Shu is now controlling the team's tempo, and after the team conceded two goals in a row, Zhang Shu's performance is still very calm, and he has helped the team stabilize their position." Brescia's players made many spectators drowsy with their feet back and forth in the backfield, and Huang *Jian*Xiang could only find nothing to find highlights in such a dull game.

He discussed with Director Zhang for a long time, and after analyzing this game for a long time, he came to the conclusion that it is best to get a goal back in the first half, even if he can't score, at least he must not concede another goal, and if he is scored by the opponent again, it will completely collapse.

The difference between the two goals, after Mazzoni's adjustment at halftime, there is still hope, if the three goals are behind, then there is no need to play, replace Zhang Shu as soon as possible to rest, and prepare for the Champions League in a few days is the right thing.

So seeing Brescia slow down the pace of the game, Huang * Jian * Xiang and Zhang Lu still affirmed this.

Zhang Shu once again received Maori's pass on the right side of the center circle, he stretched out his right foot to meet the ball, stepped on the grass with the sole of his foot, and then jumped off the ball and turned 180 degrees in mid-air. By the time he landed, the direction he was facing had changed to that of the Sampdoria goal.

In fact, his turning action was quite flawed, but before receiving the ball, he had already looked around for a week, and there were no Sampdoria players around him to force him, so Zhang Shu was relieved to boldly complete the turn.

This time, he didn't return the ball at the first time, but drove the ball towards the opponent's half.

Seeing Zhang Shu start to dribble the ball, Sampdoria's Doni was ready to come forward to defend, but Zhang Shu buckled the ball with his right foot, turned around and ran 90 degrees towards the middle, Doni also quickly changed direction and followed him to the middle, but Zhang Shu took two steps and passed the ball back to Di Biagio behind with the inside of his right foot.

After passing the ball, he also pointed to Matuzallen on the left side of Di Biagio, signaling Di Biagio not to pass the ball back again, but to the left.

Di Biagio did kick the ball down the left flank.

Zhang Shu jogged a few steps, and glanced back, Dhoni was already far behind him, and it seemed that he gave up and continued to follow him when he passed back.

Then he raised his hand again to Matuzallen.

It wasn't until he received the ball from Matuzallen and turned around and carried forward five or six metres that he was once again targeted by another Sampdoria player, Donadaire.

Seeing Donadale approaching him, Zhang Shu passed the ball back to the left side and started to insert Matuzalen after passing the ball just now, and then continued to run to the left.

General Donadale ran a few steps with Zhang Shu, but also stopped, and slowly retreated to his defense area.

Matuzallen cut in with the ball and found no one answering, so he passed the ball back.

In this way, Zhang Shu took the ball around from the right side to the left side, and he found that Sampdoria's defense was indeed not as active as before.

Their own drawdown is one of the reasons, but the bigger reason is probably also the laxity of the opponent. If it had been at the beginning of the first half, Sampdoria would never have allowed themselves to receive the ball so easily.

The game was close to 40 minutes into the first half.

After more than ten minutes of observation, Zhang Shu was convinced that Sampdoria had lost his vigilance.

According to statistics, the 5 minutes at the beginning and end of the half are the easiest times to score goals and concede goals. This is the time when the player's concentration decreases and his fitness reaches a critical point.

If you're looking for a sneak attack, this is definitely the perfect time to do it.

Sampdoria had just completed an attack, it was a 45-degree cross, the ball was passed high and floating, and it flew straight off the line without being hit by anyone.

This attack seemed too simple. There was not much organization, and there was no cooperation, and the Sampdoria players saw that Brescia's back line was relatively tight, and they didn't even go down to the bottom and crossed directly from 35 meters from the bottom line.

Of course, they also have the capital to play like this, after all, now they have two goals in hand, even if an attack is a little sloppy, it is not a big deal.

But in Zhang Shu's eyes, this is a sign that the opponent has completely relaxed.

He ran all the way back to the back line, then shouted at Castellazzi in front of the goal, and after attracting the attention of his opponent, pointed to Martinez on the side, motioning for Castellazzi to pass the ball over.

As soon as Martinez received the ball, Zhang Shu raised his hand.

Martinez, of course, understood what he meant and immediately passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Zhang Shu calmly turned around, his current position is in the back position of his own side, no one came up to press him at all, Sampdoria does not attach as much importance to high pressing as Brescia, their strikers are only for offensive existence, and defense is not their job.

So Zhang Shu easily took the ball through the half, and it was only at this time that he met the first opponent who came up to intercept.

Without doing too much entanglement with the opponent, Zhang Shu passed the ball to Maoli next to him, and then ran a small diagonal line, which was diagonally inserted from behind Maoli to near the right sideline.

Mauri, who only arrived in Brescia this season, is available today as a substitute for Pep Guardiola, but in fact his best position is that of a full-back. He has some tackling ability, but his real strength lies in dribbling forward and penetrating. Compared with Guardiola, his organizational skills are much worse, and his cooperation with teammates is not as tacit as Guardiola. This is also a reason why Brescia's midfield did not work well today.

And now, because Zhang Shu helped him draw the attention of the Sampdoria full-back on the right, Mauri strode the ball forward from the midfield, and did not hurriedly return the ball to Zhang Shu until the opponent's back approached.

"Maori, you give it early!!" Zhang Shu complained in his heart about Maoli's sticky ball, and at this time, he had reached the right baseline of Sampdoria. In this position, he doesn't seem to have much of an option other than crosses.

But the center forward who came on today was not Tony, but Caracciolo.

Compared with the big Toney, competing for a header with the opposing team's tall centre-backs is not something that the skinny Caracciolo is good at.

Looking at Caracciolo, who was sandwiched between the two defenders of the opposing side and squeezed crookedly, Zhang Shu wisely gave up the idea of crossing.

Passing it on now is nothing more than a waste of opportunity.

Since he can't cross, Zhang Shu can only choose to cut inside with the ball.

But how could Sampdoria let Zhang Shu enter the penalty area? Soon two defenders came up to surround him and cut off his line to continue dribbling the ball.

"There's no way, Zhang protects the ball and waits for his teammates to respond."

In the narrow area of the wing, it was not so easy for Zhang Shu to pass after losing the speed of dribbling, he pulled the ball with the soles of his feet, trying his best to avoid the siege of the opposing two. But at the moment, it seems that he has been forced into a corner, and it will not be easy to pass the ball even if he wants to.

Perhaps the best solution now is to kick the ball into the opponent's leg and get a corner.

"Come a little bit, come a little more..."

Zhang Shu kept pulling the ball with the soles of his feet to adjust the distance between the two sides, and at the same time meditated in his heart.

With the help of the system, he was able to get the ball out of the opponent's range countless times, but now he needs not to be cut off by the opponent, but to get rid of the opponent.

However, in the face of two defenders, it is not easy to get rid of two people at the same time when the opponent is in a good position.

Zhang Shu can only keep selling flaws and luring the other party to stretch his feet, and only the moment when the other party makes a foot is his chance.

Under Zhang Shu's constant teasing, the Sampdoria player finally couldn't resist the temptation of breaking the ball, and in the face of the football that seemed to be broken by stretching his leg in front of him, the Sampdoria player closest to Zhang Shu stretched out his leg and poked it out with his toes.

Compared with other ways of kicking, the toe poke is the fastest and most hidden one, and in the face of Zhang Shu, who is famous for his foot skills, Sampdoria players chose the one with the greatest grasp.

But Zhang Shu's reaction speed was faster than he imagined, almost at the moment when he kicked out, Zhang Shu pulled the ball sideways with the sole of his foot, making his outstretched foot kick into the air, and then Zhang Shu's other foot flicked the instep, and the football drilled through the gap between the two opponents.

Then Zhang Shu exerted his ankle and prepared to drill between the two of them.

Another defender hurriedly approached his teammate, intending to block Zhang Shu with his body with his teammate.

It's like two doors closing a door.

But Zhang Shu's speed seemed to be half a point faster out of thin air, and he escaped like a blue-white lightning bolt before the gap between the two defenders disappeared. (To be continued.) )
