Klose and Dimikele are in a slightly better condition, at least they have been training with the team for more than a month.

These two new players have represented Sampdoria in Super Cup, Europa League and other competitions. The cooperation with the team began to get through the initial awkwardness and gradually began to feel better.

But Nocerino joined the team when the transfer period was about to end. For the Italian, Sampdoria was a completely unfamiliar new environment.

It will take some time for Nocerino to fully integrate into the team.

Similar to Nocerino, there are new players who join Cardi Rora and Cudinho, who has been delaying the running-in time due to the World Youth Championship.

If these new players cannot integrate into the team in time, Sampdoria's combat effectiveness in the early stages of the league will definitely be affected.

Due to the little episode of players' strike this season, Sampdoria has received an additional two weeks of running-in team time.

Before the new season officially begins, Sampdoria seizes the time to let the new players practice together with the team, and arranges friendly matches to promote their tacit understanding in the game.

Because the opponents in the warm-up match are relatively weak, Sampdoria won two consecutive victories in the two warm-up matches.

Although the record is good, Coutinho's speed in integrating into the team is still a bit slow on the team's offensive end, and there are also some flaws in the cooperation between Nocerino and Ziegler.

Since the opponents in the warm-up match are not strong, these details are not fully exposed. However, once you encounter a strong team, these flaws are still very fatal.

Soon, Sampdoria tasted the pain of the running-in period.

On the afternoon of September 11, under the gaze of more than 34,000 home fans at the Malasi Stadium, Sampdoria was knocked down by Udinese, who came to visit.

Just 18 minutes into the game, Udinese scored a goal with Basta and Dinatale each, ending the suspense of the game early.

The two goals were one of Lucini's mistake in passing, and the other was the opponent's gap between Nocerino and Ziegler.

If the first goal conceding was a bit accidental and an accidental incident, then Sampdoria's cooperation problem will be revealed in the second goal conceding.

Nocerino and Ziegler pressed at the same time, but Udinese caught the opportunity, grabbed the space behind them and fought a quick counterattack, which was achieved by their "old fairy" Dinatale.

If Chu Jiang had not resisted, Sampdoria would have conceded more goals in the first game.

In the first game of the new season, Sampdoria tragically encountered a dark door.

Udinese is a veteran team in the Serie A League, known as the "giant killer" and "Milan nemesis". Losing to them is not unexpected.

However, despite having thought that the team might lose, the result still disappointed their fans.

Fortunately, Sampdoria knew shame and then bravely, and summarized the lessons of failure in a timely manner, and performed very well in the next game.

On September 15, Sampdoria went to Ukraine to challenge Dynamo Kiev, led by Shevchenko, away.

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Chu Jiang used a free kick to directly break through the goal guarded by Ribica, opening the first record for the team.

Unfortunately, in the injury stoppage time of the game, due to the decline in physical fitness of Sampdoria's players, Dynamo Kiev seized a fleeting opportunity and Vukojavic scored a follow-up shot.

As a result, Sampdoria shook hands with her opponent very regretfully.

This is the first time Chu Jiang has played football in Ukraine, where the weather is cold and the field of artificial turf, Chu Jiang is not very adaptable.

These objective factors also hinder the performance of teammates.

It is precisely because they consume too quickly that they are equalized by their opponents at the last moment.

Although the team failed to win this game, the team's tacit understanding has been further improved.

At the training base, Nocerino took the initiative to move to Ziegler's room and discussed cooperation issues with him during the competition.

Although the team's start in the new season is not very ideal, the atmosphere within the team is still very good. The players are very confident that after the running-in period, they will definitely be able to reverse the current decline.

While Sampdoria drew with Dynamo Kiev, on another field, Turkish giant Besiktas swept Belgium's Tel Aviv Maccabi team with a 5-1 score, achieving a magnificent start.

After winning the game, he became arrogant. After winning a big victory, Besiktas's head coach Havutku once again made a fuss, claiming that he would give Sampdoria a little color in the next game.

The next leg of the Europa League is September 29, when Sampdoria will welcome Besiktas at his home court.

This time, Chu Jiang was too lazy to pay attention to Havutku, and he had other important things to do.

After two games, "The Experience taught by Banks" successfully became "Banks' True Legend". At the same time, Chu Jiang's three goalkeeper attributes, save and position sense, all rose by 1 point, from 15 to 16!

In just over 20 days, Chu Jiang received three attribute improvements. These three-star special training is indeed amazing!

Udinese's game gave Chu Jiang 1,500 points of experience, and Chu Jiang also gained 1,500 points of experience in Dynamo Kiev.

With these 3,000 points of experience, Chu Jiang's total experience value reaches 20,000 points.

After obtaining the "True Legend of Banks", Chu Jiang entered the door god space again, spent 6,000 points of experience, and redeemed a door god mirror for learning.

This time, he exchanged for the German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, who is also one of Chu Jiang's favorite goalkeepers.

Kahn, who has won the Best Goalkeeper in Germany (6 times), the Best Goalkeeper in Germany (2 times), the Best Goalkeeper in Europe (4 times), the Best Goalkeeper in the World Cup (3 times), the Golden Ball Award in the World Cup, the Yasin Award, and the World Football Master in the World (2nd place), was once the best goalkeeper in the world football world and the most leading temperament. He is loved by fans to call the "Lion King" and is a well-deserved legend of the shade.

Kahn's excellent attack and save ability is worthy of every football goalkeeper's imitation. However, what Chu Jiang admires most is Kahn's fighting spirit that never gives up easily until the last moment, and his leadership temperament that roars at his teammates and encourages the entire team to fight.

After more than an hour of personal rumor and teaching, Chu Jiang gained "Experience taught by Kahn" as he wished.

The rest is needed to slowly experience his experience in training and competitions, transforming "the experience taught by Kahn" into "Kan's true teaching", so that his attributes can be further improved.

Due to the two-line battle, Sampdoria's schedule was very intensive at the beginning of the new season.

After three days of visiting Dynamo Kiev, Ukraine, Sampdoria once again rushed to the away game.

This time, their opponent is the team in the league, Bologna.

Because the main players consume a lot of physical energy, coach Kavacin began to rotate the team in this game.

Manini replaced Biabiani, Desena replaced Poly, Tisone replaced Nocerino, Pochi replaced Klose, Cardirola replaced Ziegler...

Among the main lineup, except for a few core players such as Chu Jiang, Palonbo, and Gastaldero, other players have the opportunity to take a rotation rest.

In this game, Brazilian young player Coutinho also replaced Dimikele's position and represented Sampdoria in the league for the first time.

It was precisely because of a breakthrough in Coutinho's dribbling that the opponent was fouled, and Chu Jiang seized the opportunity and went straight to the dead corner of the goal, securing a victory for the team.

This goal is also Chu Jiang's first league goal in the new season.

On September 18, Sampdoria defeated Bologna 1:0 away, with her first victory in the league!

With Chu Jiang's help, Sampdoria stopped the decline and entered the track of victory again.

On September 21, Sampdoria defeated Atlanta 3-0 at home, and won two consecutive league wins!

In just 3 minutes of the first half, Chu Jiang took advantage of the opportunity of direct set-piece to help the team open the door to victory. Subsequently, due to fear of Chu Jiang's free kick, Atlanta gave Sampdoria too much freedom to the frontcourt players.

So, Klose and Dimikale punished them with goals.

At 3:0, the sailors taught a lesson to the newly promoted Atlanta.

Following Klose, Dimikele also scored his first league goal for Sampdoria.

After three rounds, Sampdoria's league points reached 6 points, only behind Juventus (7 points), Genoa (7 points) and Udinese (7 points), ranking fourth in the league with a goal difference.

This start is pretty good.

On September 25, Sampdoria ushered in the fifth round of the league.

With the first league postponed to December, this game is actually Sampdoria's fourth league game of the season.

Sampdoria's fifth round of league opponent is Siena, who is not strong.

Four days after this game, Sampdoria will welcome Türkiye's Besiktas at home.

In order to keep the game strong, Sampdoria did not use all her strength in this league, and the lineup was mainly substitutes and rotation players.

As a result, Siena relied on tenacious defense and forced the visiting Sampdoria to take away a point at home with a score of 0:0.

Starting from September 11 to September 25, Sampdoria encountered 5 games in these short 15 days of competition.
