Juventus' starting lineup made Sampdoria's desire for victory even stronger.

It's like a normal hunter's reaction when they find their prey showing the softest part of their abdomen unsuspecting.

As for Juventus, they have just experienced a 4:2 victory, and they don't think there is any difference between the Sampdoria in front of them and the Sampdoria in the previous game. Of course, the starting lineup is not exactly the same, but This will not be the key factor in deciding the outcome.

When the game started, Juventus relied on their strong strength to launch a fierce attack on Sampdoria's goal.

But soon everyone discovered that, unlike the previous league game, facing Juventus like this, Sampdoria did not confront them, but played a defensive counterattack.

This is the Sampdoria that everyone is most familiar with.

The last match between Sampdoria and Juventus made people wonder whether "Sampdoria has given up on itself".

And seeing Sampdoria's performance in this game, those who know Sampdoria and those who are familiar with Sampdoria are relieved-this is normal Sampdoria.

But this leads to another question. Sampdoria showed such a normal performance in this game... What are they doing?

If it is an opportunity to continue to play against Juventus and withdraw from the Coppa Italia decently, shouldn't it be a wonderful confrontation with Juventus in this game, the fight is shocking, and finally because of lack of strength , defeated?

And now Sampdoria, which is strictly guarding against death, is like a curled up hedgehog, with a strong desire to survive, which makes Juventus a little uncomfortable.

Most people understand that a team shrinking defense means admitting cowardice, and curling up to be a hedgehog doesn't look like what a hunter does.

But if you really understand this Sampdoria team, you will know that their most threatening tactic is defensive counterattack, using a solid defense to withstand the opponent's attack first, and then when the opponent has been unable to attack for a long time and is a little impetuous, suddenly Unleash a threatening counterattack that kills with one blow.

So this is the strongest form of Sampdoria.

Sampdoria, who play defensively and counterattack seriously, is the most terrifying.

The Juventus coach Conte on the sidelines frowned as expected. He smelled something bad in the air of the Marassi Stadium.

Although a little worried,

However, Conte did not make any adjustments. After all, the game has just started, and this adjustment of personnel will definitely cause an uproar after the game. Any player who is replaced early will be dissatisfied with the head coach's arrangement. He can't tell the teammates who were replaced that he sensed the danger of the team, so he decided to make adjustments, right?

Isn't that a clear distrust of the abilities of the players on the field now.

And people always have a fluke mentality. If I make adjustments, but the game does not develop as I feared, wouldn't it appear that I was too nervous in the end?

So if you adjust now, unless the game has reached a very critical moment, normally no normal coach will do it.

Conte chose to stand still.

He believes in his players and can adapt to this situation.

Gao Zheng soon discovered that the weakness of Juventus' defense line was O'Bonna. Rather, this tall and strong black central defender was too poor in ability, but as a part of the three-back system, he and the others The cooperation between the two teammates is not very tacit.

The "bbc" defensive combination of Bonucci, Barzagli and Chiellini is very classic. They helped Juventus become the best defensive team in Serie A.

The tacit understanding between the three people is unique, but it also creates some difficulties for others to integrate into this system.

Angelo Obonna is good. As an excellent central defender trained in Turin, he was selected for the Italian national team in 2011 and participated in the 2012 European Cup.

However, compared with Chiellini, who he replaced today, there is still a gap. The most important thing is that he only transferred from Turin to Juventus this season, and he didn't have much time to cooperate with Bonucci and Barzagli-he only played against these two in games this season. Partnered with a central defender.

It was originally a very tacit line of defense, but because of the existence of Obonna, it no longer runs smoothly, just like a gear, every time it turns to Obonna's side, it has to click and freeze.

Although this lag is very slight, it may be difficult for ordinary people to notice it.

But in the eyes of a super talented striker like Gao Zheng, it is very obvious.

Thanks to Conte's rotation policy in the Coppa Italia, the rich teams always have to try to balance the playing needs of these substitute players and the main players, so Sampdoria is now proudly facing such a flawed defense.

After finding the weakness in this line of defense, Gao Zheng only needs to do one thing - stare at Obonna and beat him until he collapses.

In fact, the experienced Barzagli and Bonucci had already noticed after a period of competition that Gao Zheng was targeting Obonna.

So at the beginning they consciously assisted in the defense and helped Obonna, but when they came to assist in defending Obonna, there would be loopholes in their original position, and Sampdoria did not only have one Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng is not the kind of striker who insists on shooting by himself. He can return the football to the teammate who ran to the empty space, and then hand it over to the teammate to score.

So after several times of assisting defense like this, both Barzagli and Bonucci were a bit wary and did not dare to help Obonna frequently.

More often, Obonna still had to face Gao Zheng by himself.

This is not the first time Aubonna has faced Gao Zheng.

When he was in Turin last season, he played against Gao Zheng once in Serie A.

If we push forward another season, in the 2011-2012 season in Serie B, he also played against Gao Zheng once.

In these two matches against Gao Zheng, the Turin team he played for at the time did not lose in these two games. Torino won in Serie B, and Turin tied in Serie A.

However, he himself did not take advantage of the duel with Gao Zheng.

In the confrontation in Serie B, although Sampdoria lost the game, Gao Zheng scored Sampdoria's only goal, and it was Aubonna who was defending Gao Zheng at that time.

In the Serie A game, although Gao Zheng didn't score, the penalty that Polly equalized was exactly what Gao Zheng found on Obonna.

So for Obanna, he doesn't have any good memories of Gao Zheng.

His body is very strong, and he almost crushes Gao Zheng in terms of strength, but he doesn't dare to use his advantages to defend Gao Zheng, especially when Gao Zheng enters the penalty area.

Polly's penalty kick last season was when he was defending Gao Zheng and pushed Gao Zheng hard. He felt that the force he used was not very strong, but Gao Zheng fell to the ground in response. The referee's whistle also rang.

Let Turin's three points become one point.

Obonna is now forcing himself to put his hands behind his back when defending Gao Zheng, and try not to make too many hand movements, so as to avoid being used by Gao Zheng to cheat the penalty again—yes, he insisted that the The penalty was cheated by Gao Zheng. It was Gao Zheng who deceived the referee by using diving and blind spots.

Now that he is wearing a Juventus jersey, he dare not make such a mistake, and will not give Gao Zheng the slightest chance.

Coming to Juventus from Turin, he did not hesitate to join his rival in the same city, but nodded very quickly to the transfer deal.

Because he knows in his heart that compared with Turin, Juventus is far too great. His talent and talent as well as his ambition can only be displayed on a platform like Juventus.

But this time, when Gao Zheng approached him, he was a little panicked at first, but now he has adjusted his mentality.

He realized that for him, a newcomer to Juventus, this was both a huge challenge and a huge opportunity-if he could successfully defend Gao Zheng, would he have more chances to play in the future? Will coach Conte be more optimistic about him? Will the club rediscover the enormous potential in him?

Wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, and no success can be easily achieved.
