When the game restarted, everyone saw Atletico Madrid's tactics. They shrunk back and couldn't defend.

But neither the Spanish commentator nor the Atlético fans thought the coach was doing something wrong.

It stands to reason that with the strength of Atletico Madrid, this is their home court, and they shouldn't be so embarrassed.

In the first round, Atletico Madrid played a half-time shrinking defense at Sampdoria's home court, which was scolded bloody. After the game, the media criticized Simeone as a coward.

But now everyone's opinions are very consistent - there is nothing shameful in sticking to the bus, you should park the bus, you should stick to it, as long as you can prevent that damn Gao Zheng from scoring goals, you can do anything!

Gao Zheng really scared the Atletico Madrid fans.

Now as long as Gao Zheng gets the ball, the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands will boo wildly. The boos were not because they hated Gao Zheng, but because they were afraid of Gao Zheng.

Simeone stood on the sidelines, his exaggerated body movements showed his inner tension.

Di Francesco also stood on the sidelines, watching the same nervously.

"High shot! Godin blocked it with his body!"

"Berardi cross! Massi header! As a central defender, Alberto Massi has rushed to the front at this time and turned into a center forward. His header can indeed bring Atletico Madrid's goal. threats, and others can also relieve the defensive pressure on Gao Zheng..."

"Resist! We must withstand Sampdoria's attack! We are only a few minutes away from the quarterfinals!"

"...four minutes of stoppage time, Atlético Madrid fans are very dissatisfied with this result, they think it should be given more stoppage time...Listen to the boos!"

"There are only four minutes left for Sampdoria, and now they still can't break the goal guarded by Courtois, come on, Sampdoria!"

...

At the last moment of the game, Sampdoria scored consecutively. Gao Zheng's last shot was rubbed by Miranda's head and flew out of the baseline. Sampdoria won a corner kick. Goalkeeper Romero abandoned the goal and ran to Atletico Madrid's goal, ambush in the penalty area, ready to head the ball.

But Gao Zheng didn't squeeze in. He knew that he was not good at heading the ball, so although this might be Sampdoria's last chance to attack, he could only give up the space in the penalty area to his teammates. And he lay in ambush outside the penalty area according to the previous practice, waiting to grasp the second landing point-if there is one.

In order to compete for the position in the restricted area, the two sides also pushed and shoved.

So the referee Clattenburg had to suspend the game, called the players of both sides together, and gave them a verbal warning.

Then the situation of pushing and shoving each other in front of the door improved slightly, but it could not be completely eliminated.

It stands to reason that football rules prohibit physical contact with hand movements in the penalty area, but it is almost impossible to completely eliminate physical contact in actual operation, so as long as the behavior is not excessive, the referee will generally choose to turn a blind eye. one eye.

Clattenburg did not wait for the players on both sides to completely disengage before blowing the whistle, but immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.

With a whistle, Kosticic kicked the football with the hope of all Sampdoria fans into the crowded Atletico Madrid penalty area.

Whether it was Alberto Massi, or Mustafi, or goalkeeper Romero, and center Eder who came on... No Sampdoria player hit the ball.

The football was jumped up by Godin and rubbed, and the football flew slightly from the sideline to the sideline.

There were also Sampdoria players running to prepare for a quick throw-in as the football flew off the touchline.

But at this time the referee Clattenburg's whistle sounded.

"Three whistles, the game is over!!" The Spanish commentator breathed out, "The game is over! Atletico Madrid defeated Sampdoria 4:3 at home, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 5:4, and advanced to the eighth place." Strong! Congratulations to Atletico Madrid! Congratulations to Simeone! They had a very difficult game, but the victory belongs to them in the end!"

The huge cheers that erupted from the Calderón Stadium, as if they had won the championship.

While the whistle was blowing, many Sampdoria players collapsed on the field, and some covered their faces with their hands, unable to hide their disappointment and pain.

Gao Zheng stood outside the penalty area waiting for the second landing point. He didn't wait for the football. When the final whistle blew, one by one his teammates fell to the ground in disappointment, as if they were exhausted in an instant.

And he was still standing there, but his expression was a little confused.

Yes, Gao Zheng, who appeared in the TV broadcast, looked at the celebrating Atlético de Madrid players and his teammates who fell to the ground. His expression was no longer firm and confident. There was a little confusion in his eyes. ended.

"The game is over...Gao Zheng scored three goals for the team in this game and completed his first hat-trick in the Champions League. But such a good performance did not bring him a A victory..." He Ping said in a low mood. "He has done everything he can, think about it, this is Atletico Madrid's home court, the Atletico Madrid defenders are almost on him, and he can still score three goals, especially the first one. Three goals, even if the whole team of Atletico Madrid was blocked in front of him, he stepped into the alliance with Chaoyang horse, rampantly, and narrowed the point difference to one goal for Sampdoria! Only one goal, another one If the goal is scored, Sampdoria will be able to eliminate Atletico Madrid with the advantage of away goals after equalizing the score, but unfortunately... it is only one goal away..."

He Ping shook his head while talking, he felt sorry for Gao Zheng from the bottom of his heart. With Gao Zheng's performance in this game, he is worthy of a victory, but there is no way. There is still a big gap between Sampdoria's overall strength and Atlético Madrid. It is difficult to fully bridge such a gap.

Originally, there was no suspense about Atletico Madrid's elimination of Sampdoria, but it was precisely because of Gao Zheng that the suspense in this game was full of suspense. The suspense did not disappear until the last second.

Gao Zheng has done a good job, very good.

Just like what he said before vaccinating the fans.

But when this result really came to him, he found that he couldn't accept it at all.

Even if the result is not easy, it is not the result he wants to see...

Feng Shiyao listened to the "just one ball short" repeated by the commentator in the earphones, and was slightly absent-minded.

In Gao Zheng's eyes, he looked slightly confused, and then the camera was zoomed out. Gao Zheng stood with his hands on his hips, his teammates were lying on the ground, and the ecstatic Atlético Madrid players ran around and cheered around him.

He stood there alone, looking lonely.

It turns out that the great hero in everyone's mind will also be so helpless...

Feng Shiyao rubbed her face with the back of her hand, and found that tears had already shed there at some point.
