Chapter 247: This is a decisive battle!

On the other end of the court, although Sampdoria's offensive organization was a bit weak, with Biabiani's speed, they still caused several dangerous situations in front of Genoa's goal.

Since he came to a more free and less defensive position, Bijabiyani's performance has been significantly better than when he first arrived in Sampdoria.

Especially recently, his condition has been better and better, and he has slowly returned to the level he was when he was in Parma.

Although it is passive in the scene, Sampdoria's counterattack quality is not low. If Eduardo, Genoa's Portuguese goalkeeper, would have scored first in the first half.

Such a situation further strengthened Cavacin's determination to adopt new tactics.

People know themselves, and so does the team.

In recent years, Sampdoria has never been a strong team. After Casano and Pazini ran away one after another, the team has lost its last bit of star flavor.

For them, it is simply unrealistic to think that they can play well on the scene, occupy more than their opponents' possession time, and win the game.

Between gorgeous and practical, they must choose one of them without delusion.

Obviously, for Sampdoria, the results are the first thing to consider. Therefore, the correct and concise way of playing is the most suitable choice for this team.

The dazzling dribbling of people and the flowing short-term transmissions are a gorgeous art.

The iron-blooded and the style of a sword that seals the throat represents another kind of beauty? Sampdoria's current tactical style is pursuing this kind of violent beauty of iron-bloodedness. This is the best choice based on their team's strength.

In the end, this derby was spent very peacefully while Sampdoria tried a new formation.

Sampdoria's unformed counterattack failed to tear through Genoa's defense line. Genoa's attack also had no good way to use Sampdoria's orderly defense.

Even if Sampdoria's defensive players make any mistakes, Chu Jiang's existence is enough to make up for the last flaw in their defense line.

0:0.

The derby battle, which should have been passionate, came to an end in a calm manner, which made the fans and media watching the game feel a little dissatisfied.

"Conservative game, ugly derby!"

The reporters did not hide their disappointment in this game. Especially the Genoa fans, they mocked the Sampdorians for being unhealthy and did not dare to play against their team.

Some fans of our team expressed their confusion about Sampdoria's choice.

They felt that this derby was the team's final highlight of the season, but the players did not show his level at all. The game scene was unremarkable, and the final result was not satisfactory, which made the fans feel very disappointed.

However, many fans were also satisfied with the team's performance.

After all, this year's league is over, and the derby game does not have much significance. It is possible to give some young people the opportunity to play in such a game, proving that the team is actively preparing for the league journey next season.

Moreover, the team was once very close to the relegation zone in the second half of the season, and now it can relegate ahead of schedule and get a mid-level ranking, which is an amazing achievement in itself.

They didn't take the sarcasm to the Genoa fans even more seriously.

You should know that after the 36 rounds of the league, Genoa's points were 36 points, ranking eleventh in Serie A.

And what about Sampdoria, who once slipped into the downgrade zone?

After the draw of the derby, Sampdoria's points reached 37 points, no more or less, just overwhelmed one of the same city opponents and ranked tenth in the league!

Genoa's lineup is obviously much more luxurious than Sampdoria. Kutska, Palacio, Cricito, Rafinia, Dainelli... are all famous and powerful players. However, their performance is not as good as Sampdoria!

What qualifications do they have to laugh at Sampdoria?

Sampdoria's fans scoffed at the noise of Genoa fans.

"Genoa can get a draw because they are lucky."

Faced with the media's criticism of the team's tactical style, Chu Jiang even spoke mercilessly and sarcastically.

During the game, although Genoa took the initiative in the field, his ball control time was far more than Sampdoria.

However, most of their ball controls are in the backcourt, which is ineffective ball control, and there are very few passes that can truly pose a threat.

During the entire game, it is rare to see Chu Jiang fall to the ground to complete a wonderful save.

This shows that Genoa's offense did not pose much threat to Sampdoria's goal.

According to the statistics after the game, Genoa's possession time was as high as 64%, and the number of shots completed was as many as 16 times, but only 3 shots hit the goal frame.

Judging from the shooting area, nearly 90% of Genoa's shots were completed outside the penalty area.

In the penalty area, they only tried two shots, and they all completed very hard.

On the other hand, Sampdoria's side shot 4 shots in the whole game, three shots on the right side, and two shots were completed in the opponent's penalty area, forcing Genoa goalkeeper Eduardo to make two wonderful saves.

In terms of offensive threat, which team has higher offensive quality?

The answer is self-evident!

It is from this perspective that Chu Jiang disdains the media’s arguments.

"Ultravious! Ugly!"

Some media close to Genoa immediately launched a counterattack on Chu Jiang.

However, more media did not care too much about the conservatism of the Sampdorians. In Italy, all kinds of tactical styles can gain the soil for their own survival. Italian football, which started with defense, did not have an exclusionary attitude towards practical football.

Which is better, beautiful football or practical football is a question of endless debate. To this day, no one can give an answer that is absolutely authoritative and convincing to everyone.

After Chu Jiang's interruption, the media's focus changed, and they became discussing sexy football, utilitarian football, etc., and instead put Sampdoria aside.

For a time, there were much fewer media attention to Sampdoria and their upcoming Italian Cup semi-finals.

In their opinion, after losing 0:3 at home, Sampdoria was just studying with the prince in the next Italian semi-finals, and there was nothing to discuss.

However, they underestimated the Sampdoria player's brave heart that beats for victory!

After abandoning all the interference from the peripheral environment, Sampdoria's preparation environment was easy at the Boliasco training base.

Just when everyone thought Sampdoria would give up the Italian Cup semi-finals, they were doing the final drills extremely seriously and patiently preparing for the next final battle.

For the Sampdoria soldiers who have no desires this season, this is their decisive battle!

In the first round, they lost to Palermo without any resistance at their home court and in front of their fans.

Such a crushing defeat is really shameful!

This time, they want to return such a shame to the Palermo people intact, right in front of their fans!

Even if you don’t want to make the League Cup, you have to make your own pride!

We are not fish!

It is absolutely a price to despise us!

With such confidence, Sampdoria's soldiers will point all their fighting spirit to the most meaningful and most worthy of their hard work before the end of this season.

On May 10, in Sicily, Palermo was in charge of Rezzo Barbera Stadium.

"Oh~ Palermo! Oh~ Palermo!"

At Rezzo Barbera Stadium, Palermo fans sang and danced in the stands, turning the entire stadium into a sea of ​​jubilation.

Derio Rossi stood proudly in the coaching command area, watching his own players warming up on the field.

"I don't know if it's Inter Milan or Rome?"

Although the opponent of this game is Sampdoria, Rossi's mind is obviously no longer here, and he has begun to look forward to the final of the Italian Cup.

On the second day of the Italian Copa semi-finals, on May 11, another Italian Copa semi-final will be held at the Meazza Stadium in Inter Milan.

In that game, another team will be decided to advance to the Italian Cup final.

In Rossi's mind, that will be the opponent they will meet in the finals.

"It should be Inter Milan? After all, they are stronger, and they are the first round victory. They have a away goal in their hands, and their advantage is still obvious."

"But their advantage is far from us!"

When Rossi thought of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, he was very, very satisfied with the team's achievements in the last round.

A 3-0 away win, plus three away goals, there is no more perfect result!

For Rossi, the semi-finals of this Italian Cup are just a process, and there is no suspense.

"Has there been three goals in history leading away from home and then being reversed? It probably wasn't! Haha, what a joke!"

Rossi was in a very relaxed mood.

Soon, the short pre-match warm-up ended, and the two teams took their place.

Just wait for referee Rocky to whistle, the semi-finals of the Italian Cup will officially begin.

At this moment, the stands of Rezzo Barbera Stadium suddenly became riot.
