Prominence in Football Community

After the start of the second half, the commentators quickly discovered that Sampdoria's state was different from the first half.

It is mainly reflected in the players. They seem to have lost the stiffness and tension of the first half, and their performance is more comfortable.

"I don't know what adjustment Di Francesco made during the halftime break, but now the Sampdoria players don't seem to be nervous..."

Not long after the start of the second half, Gao Zheng sent a wonderful pass to Berardi. Berardi headed the goal in the penalty area. The ball went out and almost went in.

Berardi was very sorry and put his head in his hands, but the Sampdoria fans in the stands were not dissatisfied because he didn't score a goal. On the contrary, they gave Berardi a warm applause. The half time was more enthusiastic.

Berardi made an apologetic gesture to Gao Zheng, but Gao Zheng gave him a thumbs up in return.

In this game, the Celtics defended Gao Zheng very tightly, hardly giving him a chance to kick, but they were not so concerned about the defense of other Sampdoria players. So Berardi can get more opportunities in the penalty area.

Of course, this Sampdoria team is playing the Champions League for the first time. They lack the experience of participating in the Champions League, like bumpkins who have no experience.

But at the same time, for those opponents of Sampdoria, they don't know much about Sampdoria. Gao Zheng has gained a reputation because of his outstanding performance last season, and the opponents still know a little about him. Sampdoria players, they know almost nothing, especially Berardi who was still in Serie B last season.

Not to mention the Celtics far away in Scotland, even those Serie A teams in Italy, few of them know Berardi.

Although Gao Zheng is a center forward, he is also good at scoring goals. He is not obsessed with scoring. He will score goals when he has a chance. If he has no chance, he will pass the football to a teammate in a better position without hesitation.

This is why Gao Zheng's league assists were in double figures last season.

The Celtics thought they could stop Sampdoria's attack by marking Gao Zheng to death.

It stems from their ignorance of Sampdoria.

During the halftime break, Di Francesco made special arrangements for this situation, and asked Gao Zheng to attract the Celtics' defensive attention and create opportunities for other teammates, so they didn't have to pass the ball to Gao Zheng. If someone is in a better position than Gao Zheng, then pass the football over.

Zaza and Berardi surrounded Gao Zheng, hiding in Gao Zheng's shadow and waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Icardi is unwilling to live in the shadow of Gao Zheng, but Zaza and Berardi are very happy to do so, not at all reconciled.

Maybe it's because they never thought of being an enemy of Gao Zheng, competing with Gao Zheng.

Berardi's sense of smell in front of the goal is really good, and there is a master like Gao Zheng behind him to attract defensive firepower for him and feed him the ball, he is even more powerful.

At the 65th minute, Gao Zheng was at the front of the penalty area. Although he didn't get the ball, the Celtics didn't dare to slack off on him. They still surrounded him with two people. In the distance, Gao Zheng is staring at him. If a Sampdoria player passes the football to Gao Zheng, he will immediately rush forward to form a siege with his teammates. It is necessary to prevent Gao Zheng from getting the ball.

But Gao Zheng seemed to turn a blind eye to all this, and was still signaling to his teammates to pass the ball to him.

Kosticic, who was holding the ball, hesitated for a moment, but decided to listen to Gao Zheng. He raised his foot and passed the football.

In order to avoid the football being intercepted midway, he passed the ball quite vigorously.

In this way, if Gao Zheng wants to play the ball well, his ability to stop the ball will be tested very much. Even if it is a little bit bigger, it will be a big mistake in the encirclement, which will lead to the change of possession of the ball.

Seeing the ball being passed to Gao Zheng, the Celtics' defensive players immediately surrounded him. Even if Gao Zheng received the ball, it would prevent him from making the next move.

Gao Zheng faced the football and was ready to catch the ball.

The three Celtics players are also ready to close the encirclement.

But when the football really rolled in front of Gao Zheng, he raised his foot but instead of stopping the ball, he missed the football directly!

The football passed through his crotch, which also caught the Celtics defender off guard.

They collectively froze around Gao Zheng, as if they had been cast into petrification magic as soon as they approached Gao Zheng, unable to move.

"Gao Zheng... a leak!"

The football missed by Gao Zheng rolled into the penalty area and landed at the feet of the running Berardi.

Berardi used the outer instep of his right foot to lightly lead the football, and he swung his right foot to shoot when there was no defense at all!

With a low shot, the football rolled against the turf towards the far corner of the goal.

Although the Celtics goalkeeper Foster made a save and reacted quickly, but in the end he was still a little short of football...

He could only watch the football roll into the goal before falling to the ground.

The Marasi Stadium seemed a little unprepared for the appearance of this goal. After the football rolled into the goal, it took about half a second for everyone to react.

The overwhelming cheers followed.

"The goal has been scored——!!" Carresara shouted in a long voice, "The goal has been scored! In the 66th minute, Sampdoria took the lead at home and broke the deadlock! But it was not Gao who scored the goal. , but... Berardi! Domenic Berardi! He scored his first goal in an official match after joining Sampdoria!"

"Gao missed the ball so beautifully!" Bergomi paid more attention to Gao Zheng. "He took the initiative to ask Kosticic for the ball just now. I'm afraid Kosticic himself didn't expect him to complete an assist. He must just want to pass the football to Gao, but Gao took advantage of this very well. Really fooled all the defenders and leaked the football to Berardi...Berardi's running position is also very subtle, he just ran into that space. But if there is no high leak, all the behind There will be none."

"Sampdoria is leading! Gao Zheng's ingenious omission helped Berardi score and scored his first goal in the Champions League career!" Although He Ping was cheering, he was still very happy Unfortunately, he hopes that Gao Zheng can complete the goal, but the fact is that the Celtics' defense against Gao Zheng is really strict, so Gao Zheng really doesn't have any decent shooting opportunities, so he can only do something to attract the defensive attention of his teammates hard work.

That's not bad, of course, any team needs players to sacrifice and create opportunities for each other.

But He Ping was still a bit biased—the cheers he had prepared were dedicated to Gao Zheng.

Berardi didn't expect to score a goal. He seemed to follow his body's instinct from running to kicking the goal, and his brain didn't think about it.

It wasn't until the football flew into the goal that his brain came back to life and realized he had scored!

He was taken aback for a moment, and then turned to look at Gao Zheng. He remembered that the football was passed to Gao Zheng before he ran.

Although he moved, he didn't think that he would definitely catch the ball. He just saw that there was an opening there. As a forward, if he saw the opening and didn't go in, it would be dereliction of duty.

As a result, he ran to the empty space, and the football came over. Gao Zheng didn't catch the ball, and directly passed the ball to him!

When he turned to look at Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng had already turned around and ran towards him with open arms.

"Great job! The first goal in the Champions League, you have a treat tonight!" Gao Zheng rubbed his hair with a smile.

But Berardi was still a little confused, and asked: "Did I score?"

"Of course you scored the goal!" Gao Zheng laughed.

"But...but shouldn't you score the goal?"

"Whoever stipulates that I should score? It doesn't matter whoever scores the goal, as long as he wins!" Gao Zheng patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "You treat me tonight, don't forget it!"
