Sampdoria, who returned to Genoa from Amsterdam with a point, made a decisive rotation in the next game against Turin.

Regardless of whether Di Francesco admits it or not, everyone now knows that Sampdoria has indeed given up the league this season to ensure the results in the Champions League.

Most of the main players who played in the last match against Ajax did not appear in the lineup this time, and Gao Zheng was naturally absent.

Two consecutive high-intensity games are indeed a great drain on the physical fitness and energy of the Sampdoria players.

In the end, Sampdoria shook hands with Turin 2:2 at home.

With eight points after seven rounds of the league, they are still ranked thirteenth.

It can be seen that the impact of the Champions League on Sampdoria is still very deep.

This was not how Sampdoria performed in the league last season.

However, there must be something to give, their performance in the league was not good, but their performance in the Champions League was amazing.

After returning from Amsterdam, even people who are usually unhappy with them can only keep silent at this time, which is really not black. However, the performance of Juventus, which has been sought after by the media, has been disappointing.

After the match against Turin, the club matches were suspended, and the national team match day came.

This time Gao Zheng did not stay at the Mughnaini training base, but went to Milan and boarded a flight to Jakarta, Indonesia. He didn't make it, and flew one day earlier. The head coach Di Francesco considered him a long journey and tossed back and forth, fearing that he would not have enough rest time, so he let him go one day earlier.

Anyway, he didn't plan to let Gao Zheng play against Turin.

So at the end of the Sampdoria-Turin game, Gao Zheng had already appeared at the airport in Jakarta.

At the airport, Gao Zheng was warmly welcomed by the media from China and Indonesia.

Gao Zheng is not the first time to wear the Chinese team jersey, but this will be his first adult national team game (Note).

Such a commemorative game naturally attracted much media attention.

In fact, today's China really needs a master like Gao Zheng to come back to help.

For Chinese football this year, it can be described as ill-fated.

Originally, everyone thought that after the crackdown on gangsters and evil in 2010, Chinese football should have improved. The Chinese team led by Gao Hongbo in the 2010 East Asian semi-finals did perform well, giving people hope. This time the fans even began to look forward to qualifying for the 2014 World Cup finals.

But just when Gao Hongbo led the team to the top 20 of the World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Chinese Football Association made a foolish move—under the will of the sponsor, they replaced Gao Hong, who led the team well. Bo, because Gao Hongbo is a local coach, they don't believe in the ability of the local coach, and they changed to a foreign coach, Camacho.

As a result, Camacho, who hastily took over the Chinese team, led the Chinese team without even making it to the top 20 in the Asian region, let alone qualifying for the World Cup finals. The hope of a four-year rotation was ruined by a rash coaching change.

In 2o13, a very famous match took place in Chinese football. The Chinese national team lost 1:5 at home to the Thai national team, which was basically composed of youth team players.

Whether it is the performance of the players on the court or the performance of the head coach Camacho, it has aroused public outrage.

Finally, after this game, the Spanish coach Camacho dismissed get out of class.

The coaching position of the Chinese national team is temporarily taken over by Camacho's Chinese assistant coach Fu Bo.

The first game that Fu Bo took over was the East Asian Cup, which was the former East Asian Final Four.

In this kind of competition, the Japanese and Korean teams do not recruit foreign players, and all of them are local players. Naturally, the Chinese team can't recruit Gao Zheng to come back to play, so they are all international players who play in the local league.

It turned out that Fu Bo's Chinese team performed well. Since losing to the Thailand team 1:5, the national team has been under tremendous pressure, being scolded bloody, and all kinds of jokes on the Internet are used to satirize them.

But in the East Asian Cup, the Chinese team drew with Japan 3:3, and in the second round o:o drew with the host South Korea. In the last game, they defeated Australia 4:3, and finally won the runner-up of the East Asian Cup.

Fu Bo's national team gives people a refreshing feeling.

They also beat Singapore and Malaysia 6:1 and 2:0 in the warm-up match.

But these are not important games. The real test is the Asian Cup qualifiers.

The Chinese team is in a group with Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Indonesia.

When Camacho was still out of class, he led the Chinese team to play two Asian Cup qualifiers. The Chinese team lost 1:2 away to Saudi Arabia and 1:0 at home to Iraq.

With three points in the two games, they rank second in this group. However, Iraq is the same as them, with three points, the goal difference is exactly the same, and the number of goals is also exactly the same. In terms of mutual victory and defeat, the Chinese team is more dominant.

When the results of this grouping came out, the domestic media exclaimed that the Chinese team had entered the "death group", and I am afraid that it would be difficult to even qualify for the Asian Cup.

According to the rules of the 2o15 Asian Cup qualifiers, except for the five teams that directly enter the main match, the remaining teams are divided into five groups, and the top two in each group and the third place in the group with the best results will be selected to participate in Australia. Qualification for the Asian Cup held.

Why is this group called the group of death?

Because the seed team Iraq is a former Asian Cup champion, its strength should not be underestimated. At the same time, Saudi Arabia is the strongest team in the third tier. With the level of the Chinese team, the second tier team, it is really difficult to break out of this group.

In order to break out of the competition with Iraq and Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and China, the weakest team in the group, must score six points. Otherwise, it will be difficult to say whether to advance to the main match.

But Indonesia is not reconciled to being a soft persimmon that is pinched casually.

Although they are the weakest team in this group, they also have their own ambitions.

In the FIFA rankings, the Chinese team is currently ranked 99th, while Indonesia is 170th. Judging from the rankings, the two teams are not at the same level at all. However, because the Chinese team lost to the Thai team 1:5, Indonesia, which is naturally as strong as the Thai team, was full of confidence. Before the game, the Indonesian fans simply shouted the slogan of "8:o" to defeat the Chinese team.

When Gao Zheng arrived at the airport in Jakarta, he saw Indonesian fans holding a 8:o banner to "welcome" him.

Reporters at the airport asked him what he thought of the game.

Gao Zheng said with a serious face: "I don't think Indonesia is a soft persimmon, on the contrary, I attach great importance to them. This is a bit like the situation of Sampdoria in the Champions League group. The actual action slapped those people in the face. So if we think Indonesia is easy to deal with, then we are in danger."

Gao Zheng took Indonesia as an opponent so seriously, which made the Indonesian reporters feel very comfortable.

But after Gao Zheng left, they came back to it -- logically speaking, shouldn't they want the Chinese team to be proud and underestimate the enemy? If Gao Zheng were to go all out... I'm afraid it wouldn't be something to be happy about, would it?

※※※

Note: In fact, with Gao Zheng's influence and strength, he should have been selected for the national team long ago to represent the national team. But that time happened to be the time when Camacho was coaching the national team. Since we all know the ending of Camacho and my personal prejudice against Camacho, I really don't want Gao Zheng to join the national team.

After all, it is impossible for me to write about their 1:5 loss to Thailand in order to let Camacho dismiss get out of class, even when Gao Zheng has already joined the national team.

If the performance of the national team with Gao Zheng has not improved, what is the point of Gao Zheng's existence?

But I'm not happy to ask Gao Zheng to renew Camacho's life. To put it bluntly, I just don't like this famous Spanish coach, and I'm just not happy that the Football Association replaced Gao Hongbo after listening to Wanda. In reality, I can't control it, but I don't want it to be like this for the book I wrote myself.

At the same time, when Gao Zheng is so famous, it seems unreasonable for the Chinese team not to recruit him. Even if the Chinese Football Association is stupid, it won't even ignore the top star, right? I also thought about writing some plots to explain why Gao Zheng didn't join the Chinese team.

But after much deliberation, I couldn't think of a suitable reason, and I couldn't think of a convincing and reasonable plot.

So in the end, I simply erased this paragraph directly.

Everyone, don't worry about why Gao Zheng didn't join the Chinese team before, just treat the Asian Cup qualifier against Indonesia as the starting point for his adult national team.

With Camacho gone, the plot of Gao Zheng's Chinese team can unfold normally.

From now on, Gao Zheng will no longer be a spectator on every national team match day.
