Chapter 325 Repaying Them

Berardi scored a goal, but Gao Zheng didn't even get an assist, which made Gao Zheng's supporters a little disappointed.

But Gao Zheng didn't care.

After Sampdoria took the lead, the Celtics stepped up their offensive.

Although it is an away game, how can the Su champion lose to a mid-tier team in Serie A?

This is the idea of ​​many people in the Celtics.

The minimum requirement for their away trip is a draw, but in fact many people want to take all three points.

In this group, Barcelona must be the first group to qualify without any suspense, so who will get the remaining one qualifying place?

The Celtics are theirs by default.

Sampdoria is a soft persimmon that can be pinched at will. The only threat is Greece's Olympiacos, but their overall strength is not as good as them.

So as soon as this grouping came out, Celtic fans defaulted that they would qualify with Barcelona.

To qualify, of course you have to score points on the weakest team in the group.

When the coach formulates a strategy, he may be relatively conservative in announcing it to the outside world.

But everyone knows that in the two rounds against Sampdoria, it is necessary to score six points, so that it will be safer for them to qualify as second in the group.

As a result, although the offensive was fierce in the first half, there was only thunder but no rain, and no Sampdoria goal was broken.

In the second half, before the force, Sampdoria gave an advanced goal...

The Celtics couldn't keep calm.

This game has to be won.

They launched a fierce offensive towards Sampdoria's goal.

During this period of time, there was a lot of danger in front of Sampdoria.

When the old powerhouse Celtic manpower, Sampdoria immediately felt the pressure.

In the 69th minute, Celtic midfielder Matthews sent a through ball in front of the penalty area. Samaras took the ball and shot, but Gastadro blocked the baseline with his legs.

It didn't take long for the Celtics captain and midfielder Scott Brown to shoot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area, and the football slid out of the goal, shocking the Sampdoria fans in the stands into a cold sweat.

In the 73rd minute, Celtic right back Lustig assisted and made a cross from the wing. Forward Anthony Stokes was unmarked at the back point and jumped up to head the ball.

The football hit the side netting, and the commentators almost yelled "Goal in".

Celtic's continuous offensive finally paid off in the 76th minute.

Under their pressure, Sampdoria central defender Alberto Massi made a mistake in returning the pass and was intercepted by Samaras. The Greek forward faced the attacking goalkeeper Romero, shook the opponent and pushed the empty goal. The football flew into the goal without any suspense!

"Samaras!! He equalized for the Celtics!!" Scottish television commentator shouted.

"Maxi's mistake is really..." Caresa held her head in her hands, feeling very regretful.

"It's the first time for young people to play in a game of this level in the Champions League. It is inevitable that they will still be a little nervous, especially under the oppressive style of play of the opponent. Since Di Francesco wants to choose the style of play of the youth army, he must bear this kind of pressure." The price." Guest Bergomi said.

"Sampdoria conceded the goal! What a pity! They only lead by ten minutes..." He Ping sighed.

Samaras, who had scored the goal, ran to celebrate, with his team-mates chasing after him.

In the background for them is a dejected and distressed Massie, standing in front of the goal, staring at the football in the goal.

He never thought that he would make such a low-level mistake. A return pass was too weak and was intercepted by Samaras. But when he passed the ball, he didn't pay attention to the situation around him, and he had no idea where Samaras came from.

His mistake ruined the team's good game. It was originally a lead, but now it has become a tie. How much will it affect the morale of the team? Will we lose the game because of this? Will I be criticized by the media after losing the game? Will I be spat at by Sampdoria fans when I go out on the street...

Just when Marcy was thinking wildly, Gao Zheng came up and slapped him on the shoulder: "It's no big deal, everyone makes mistakes, Alberto."

"But... it's my responsibility..."

"Of course it is your responsibility, so you have to keep your spirits up and don't make mistakes in the next game."

"We were equalized..." Ma Xi said to Gao Zheng with a sad face.

Gao Zheng nodded: "Well, I know."

"You said we were going to win at home..."

"The game is not over yet, who said we can't win?" Gao Zheng asked back.

After speaking, he dropped the stunned Massie and walked back to the middle circle, ready to go to the tee.

In the center circle, Berardi was already standing there waiting for him.

Seeing Gao Zheng coming up, he asked, "What should we do next?"

"Repay one of them." Gao Zheng said and stopped beside him.

※※※

The Celtics celebrated a lot before returning to their own half.

Everyone is beaming, this is a good start, they have equalized the score, Sampdoria's morale has been hit hard, and the next step is to crush the opponent completely in one go!

The referee Stark whistled and the game restarted!

Gao Zheng, who has rejoined the game, is more flexible in his running position. He is not limited to the middle, but will appear anywhere in the frontcourt.

This made it difficult for the Celtics players who were responsible for defending him to keep up.

As a center forward, Gao Zheng didn't follow the rules at all. He can go wherever he wants, and many times he doesn't even enter the restricted area at all.

This made the Celtics' defensive players feel very messy-the head coach Lennon asked them to man-to-man defense against Gao Zheng in this game, but if they did so, it would be easy for Gao Zheng to pull out the space.

Berardi has already proved with goals that he is capable of threatening the goal. If they all go with Gao Zheng, who will defend Berardi?

At the 81st minute of the game, Kosticic took the ball from the wing. He cut in from the wing and dribbled horizontally along the front of the penalty area, trying to find opportunities.

Berardi pulled out from the middle and wanted to meet him, but the Celtics defenders followed immediately. Even if he passed the football to Berardi, it would be difficult for Berardi to do anything effective The reaction, at most, is to pass the football back to him.

Kosticic made a gesture to pass the football to Berardi, but when he came in front of him, he suddenly passed the football to the other side, to the left of the penalty area.

There, Gao Zheng pulled to the sidewalk to meet him.

He catches the ball.

But immediately a Celtic defensive player stood in front of him, the Celtic central defender, No. 5 Van Dijk.

He kept his distance just right. He was not in a hurry to get out, but just blocked him. If Gao Zheng wanted to shoot, he would stretch out his legs to block it, and if Gao Zheng wanted to break through, he would stick it right away.

Van Dijk's eyes fell on the football under Gao Zheng's feet, and he made up his mind that no matter what Gao Zheng did under his feet, he would just stare at the football.

All eyes fell on Gao Zheng.

What will he do with the ball?

Gao Zheng, who was holding the ball sideways, slightly attached himself and lowered his center of gravity.

The tall Van Dijk also lowered his center of gravity.

Gao Zheng suddenly leaned forward, followed by raising his left leg, as if he wanted to dribble the ball directly.

Van Dijk was unmoved.

Gao Zheng's left foot really went around the football, it was a fake move!

But just as his left foot went around and stepped in front of the football, his right ankle swung secretly, and the heel knocked the football towards the baseline!

Van Dijk's reaction was half a beat slow. He saw the football rolling past Gao Zheng's left foot and realized something was wrong. He quickly got up and chased after it.

But he was obviously not as flexible as Gao Zheng because of his tall stature, his activation speed was slow, and he was directly pulled away by more than half of his body by Gao Zheng!

But relying on his strong physical fitness and long legs, Van Dijk still has the confidence to catch up with Gao Zheng, because the space in the penalty area is too small, and he can't take a few steps at all, and he will lose space and angle.

But who would have thought that Gao Zheng didn't want to continue dribbling the ball. After throwing off most of Van Dijk's body, he swung his left foot directly towards the football!

"Boom!"

The football rushed to the back corner of the goal like a fired shell!

Although the goalkeeper Foster had already moved to the close angle to block the angle, Gao Zheng's powerful shot was too sudden, and the angle was very tricky!

He made a rescue move, but only caught a mass of flowing air...

"oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo1!!!!" Caresa raised his head to the sky and screamed.
