Fiorentina's opponents on Sunday are Sampdoria.

Sampdoria is located in Genoa, the largest port in Italy, compared with another local team, Genoa Club, Sampdoria has better results and more support, last season, Sampdoria finished eighth in the league, only one step away from reaching the League Cup, this season their goal is to enter the League Cup, but there is a huge gap between desire and reality, Sampdoria lost all the first three games this season and has fallen into the relegation zone, This has left Sampdoria manager Novorino in his position shaky, and now, no matter which team they face, Sampdoria has reached the point where they must win.

Sampdoria's head coach Novelino told reporters before the game: "We didn't play well in the first three games, but I don't think we'll stay in the vice-squad position forever, I have confidence in my players, our opponents are very strong in this game, we must not look at them with promoted horses, they are fully capable of finishing in the top four, their striker Chen is very scary, we have to look forward to him and not let him score, if we can do that, I believe we may have a chance to get points." ”

Fiorentina, on the other hand, are back at home, with two wins and one draw giving the promoted dark horses confidence as they are ambitious to win a third and stay in their current position.

Coach Mondonico was still worried about the dressing room in the last game, but this round he is already in high spirits, "This start is very good for us, we are full of confidence in the future, Sampdoria is a very good team, they lost the first three games, it does not mean that they are poor, it is more affected by injuries, now Carozzieri and Volpi have ended their suspension, midfielders Diana and Doni have also recovered, their strength will be better than before, It's not easy for us to beat them at Frankie. ”

Chen Yu, who has just been confirmed to be the next captain of Fiorentina, also expressed his determination to win Sampdoria at home, "We are on the right path, although there have been some disputes between the players, but in the game, we are all close teammates, Sampdoria is not in good form now, this is a good opportunity for us, we are confident to beat them at home, of course it will not be easy, it requires us to play at a high level." We're in good shape now and I'm sure we can play a good game. ”

The Fiorentina team is full of confidence in the game, and the outside media is also very optimistic that Fiorentina will win Sampdoria at home, and even Sampdoria themselves think that getting a point at the Stadio Frankie is equivalent to a victory.

However, the game was not as easy as the Florentines thought.

The confident Mondoniko in this game discharged a set of offensive lineups, compared with the previous game, Maresca appeared in the starting lineup, the veteran Fontana naturally sat on the bench, and Nakata Hidetoshi is still on the bench, this is no way for the Japanese, Fiorentina won two and drew one, the draw is still the runner-up of the last session of Roma, Nakata Hidetoshi has no confidence to let the coach send him to start, he has now become pragmatic, no longer think about the unreachable midfield core, His goal is just to be able to get a chance to play.

The double strikers Chen Yu and Rigano who started in the last game are still responsible for the task of attacking the city, Mondonico has no idea of rotation, and his current approach in the forward line is who is in better shape, of course, Chen Yu is an exception, and the Chinese can not move to occupy a starting position.

After the start of the game, Fiorentina, which had the advantage of being at home, attacked aggressively, hoping to quickly knock on Sampdoria's goal, so as not to have a long night, but Sampdoria showed a very calm performance, they used midfielder Diana to target Chen Yu, two central defenders Castellini and Falconi one to mark Ricano, one to assist Diana to defend Chen Yu, all the players worked together to defend with all their might, and did not give the opportunity to easily take the ball and shoot.

Sampdoria's backline conceded goals in the first three rounds, like a colander, but in this game, Castellini and Falconi are like gods, and their defense is almost leakless, whether Fiorentina's attack comes from the air or from the ground, whether it is individual breakthroughs or cooperation with each other, these two have solved one by one and played the highest level since the start of Serie A.

In this game, Chen Yu is still bound to Marcelinho and Tomasson, in the last game, Chen Yu bound these two players, played more handy, and the effect was good, with the strength of Palermo, it is definitely a midstream team, but in the end, Fiorentina still won three points away from home, so after Zhilu Dao or Rigano partnered, Chen Yu did not plan to make any changes.

But in this game, Chen Yu enjoyed a superstar-level defense, once Sampdoria lost the ball, Diana followed him closely, not giving him a chance to get the ball, and although Castellini, who defended Ricano, was already old, his strength and speed were not bad, but the experience was unusually rich, Rigano and the old Serie A fritters still lacked a little heat, was targeted helplessly, and was not able to play the role of a bridgehead.

After 15 minutes of play, Fiorentina had an absolute advantage and also completed 5 shots on goal, Chen Yu hit a long shot, Rigano rushed to the top twice, and the remaining two shots came from the midfield, but they were not able to break through Sampdoria's door.

Sampdoria was determined to win a point in this game, patient defense, even the strikers came back to fight actively, although in the first fifteen minutes, Sampdoria did not have a shot on goal, the players were not impatient at all, and patiently wrestled with Fiorentina.

The game has only passed fifteen minutes, there is still a lot of time, but the Mondoni players are a little uncontrollable, they did not think about how hard the game was before the game, the opponent is a team that has lost three in a row, even a team like Siena has lost, they have no reason not to win, the game has not scored for fifteen minutes, and there is no chance to score, so that the Fiorentina players feel a little impatient, without waiting for Mondonico to say hello, the defenders took the initiative to start the attack, trying to break the offensive and defensive balance on the field.

In the face of Fiorentina's onslaught, Sampdoria still did not panic and did not take advantage of the emptiness in Fiorentina's backfield to invest more attacking troops.

The game was played in the first minute, and Sampdoria had not had a shot on goal at the moment, which made the Fiorentinas lose their guard, and they were now only thinking about how to break through the opponent's goal, and they did not even think that the opponent would attack.

This is the most dangerous time.

In the l minute, Sampdoria made an unintentional clearance in the penalty area, and the ball fell to the feet of Sampdoria striker Bazzani, who split the ball to the side and quickly stepped forward himself, and the left midfielder Sachetti cut in at high speed along the side.

At this time, Fiorentina's right-back Maggio had not returned from the assist, and he saw the ball at the feet of Bazzani and tried desperately to chase it, but in the end Maggio still could not catch up with Sachetti, and could only watch Sachetti pass the ball from the side of the box.

It was a beautiful counterattack, central defenders Ujfarusi and Dainelli were not weak and slow, but it was not good for them to compete with striker Bazzani, although it was less than 30 meters away, but Bazzani easily exceeded the defensive range of Ujfarusi and Dainelli, and in the high-speed sprint, Bazzani broke through the door of Fiorentina with an almost dive-bombing header.

Sampdoria took the lead on the road.

Bazzani was so excited after the goal that he stumbled almost at the speed of a 100-meter race to the stands and bowed deeply to the die-hard fans who had come to Florence to support them.

The Sampdoria fans who accompanied the expedition broke out into applause again, although their number was very small, but because the Fiorentina fans were stunned by the ball, they did not react at all, and the voices of the Sampdoria fans were very loud.

"Sampdoria scored...... Sampdoria striker Bazzani showed great ability to head the ball and his header gave Sampdoria the lead, which was an important goal, and they didn't even have a chance to shoot on goal before, and now they have the first shot on goal......

Fiorentina's commentator was very unnatural and unconvinced, he couldn't figure it out, and scored a goal with one shot for any opponent, while Fiorentina had at least thirteen shots on goal and didn't score a single goal.

Mondonico looked at the cheering Sampdorians, his mood was very bad, there was nothing worse than now, Fiorentina played very well, occupied an absolute advantage, played 14 shots on goal, but did not score a single goal, the opponent scored in one shot, this is in addition to Florence's carelessness and lack of defensive preparation, indicating that the opponent is accompanied by luck, there is nothing more terrible than the opponent's good luck.

Chen Yu played very uncomfortable today's 20 minutes, the opponent's midfielder Diana followed him like a shadow, and there was a very good central defender stuck in the position, coming to outflank at any time, making Chen Yu play quite uncomfortable, he only shot two times in a minute, one of which was a long shot, and the other shot, he also barely pumped a kick, and the ball hit the defender's body and bounced out.

Now that the opponent has scored, Chen Yu has to seriously think about how to break through the opponent's goal as soon as possible and equalize the score, the sooner the better, if it drags on, the opponent is more and more confident, and it may be more and more difficult to play, and there is even the possibility of failure, Chen Yu wants to unbind and replace it with a different type of striker, and hit the opponent by surprise.
