In the last round of the game before Christmas, Juventus was tied by Udinese away and failed to score all three points.

If Sampdoria beat Inter Milan, they can take the lead in Juventus before the winter break and get the top spot in the league.

Unfortunately, the Blue and Black Legion, which was in a state of courage, did not make Sampdoria's dream come true.

However, although Sampdoria failed to overtake, Juventus was not able to maintain the top spot.

After all 16 rounds of the league were over, it was not Sampdoria or Juventus who ranked first in the league, but AC Milan, who was fighting back.

Before the league started, they encountered Chujiang's Sampdoria's final victory in Beijing and lost the Italian Super Cup championship. After returning to the league, they drew two and lost one in the first three games, and only gained one point.

It can be said that AC Milan has started the season very badly.

However, after some adjustments, the defending champion of last season quickly returned to form.

Before the winter break, they achieved an unparalleled record of 10 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses, and their league points quickly climbed to 34 points. In the standings, they beat Juventus with the advantage of goal difference and stood at the top of the list for the first time this season.

At present, the situation in the league standings is: AC Milan 34 points, ranking first; Juventus 34 points, temporarily ranked second; Sampdoria 32 points, followed closely; Udinese 32 points, following closely. In addition, Lazio, ranked fifth in the league, also scored 30 points.

The top five teams have very small points gaps between them.

The winner of a game is enough to make the rankings on the standings completely change.

It can be said that the competition for the Serie A championship this season may be very fierce. At least, from the current perspective, the winning situation is still very stalemate.

Of course, it is too early to talk about championship competition.

There are 38 rounds in the Serie A, and there are only 16 rounds, and even less than half of them are still there.

Among the 19 opponents in the league, Sampdoria has played against 16 of them, with a record of 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, and a very good result.

The three teams that have not yet met with each other will meet the Mariners in three rounds of the league after the winter break. The opponents of these three rounds of the league are Juventus at home on January 8, Fiorentina away on January 15, and Chievo at home on January 22.

Among these three opponents, except for Chewo's slightly inferior in strength, the other two are hard-working and not so easy to deal with.

Among them, Juventus is Sampdoria's direct opponent in the championship this season. In the 16 rounds of the leagues currently held, Juventus is the only team that remains unbeaten. Among the five major European leagues this season, only Juventus remains unbeaten.

It can be said that as soon as the winter break ends, Sampdoria will soon usher in a very difficult battle.

For Sampdoria, their goal is not only to the Serie A, but also to the Europa League.

The Europa League group stage has all ended, and the 24 teams that advanced to the next round of knockout stage have all been produced. They will compete for the championship and honor of the Europa League this season with the 12 teams eliminated from the Champions League.

There have also been some upsets in this Europa League group stage.

For example, Totham Hotspur in Group A, Dynamo Kiev in Group E, Paris Saint-Germain in Group F, Birmingham in Group H and Fulham in Group K, these teams with good strength were all eliminated in the group stage, which surprised the fans more or less.

Shortly after the Champions League and Europa group stages were all over, the situation of the next round of the battle was announced.

In the next round of knockout rounds, Sampdoria's opponent is Braga, a strong team from the Portuguese Premier League.

In terms of fame, Braga Club obviously does not have as prominent as Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Porto.

Judging from their historical record, they only won the Portuguese Cup once in 1966. That is the first and only championship they won since they founded in 1921.

Compared with the traditional top three in the Portuguese Super League, Braga does seem a bit shabby. However, if you regard them as a weak team that can be ravaged at will, you are very wrong.

In 2005

In the 2006 season, Braga defeated Benfica with a score of 3:2.

In 2006

In the 2007 season, they defeated Porto with a score of 2:1.

In a direct conversation with these Portuguese superstars, the Braga did not allow their opponents to gain much advantage. Braga can be said to be the most successful club in the Portuguese superstar in addition to the traditional top three.

In the Europa League last season, Braga passed the opportunity and successfully reached the final.

In the final, they lost 0:1 to Porto led by Boas, and passed the UEFA Cup trophy.

Although he failed to pass the UEFA Cup runner-up is enough to prove Braga's excellence.

This season, Braga represented Portugal and participated in the Champions League pursuit. In the Champions League group stage, they regretfully ranked third in the group after Donetsk miners and Arsenal.

Although he failed to finally get the right to qualify, the Bragas' record of defeating Arsenal 2-0 at home still makes him proud.

After winning the third place in the group, Braga automatically entered the Europa League knockout stage. The first opponent they need to face is Chujiang's Sampdoria team.

The first leg match between Sampdoria and Braga will be held on Valentine's Day next year on February 14. At that time, Sampdoria will rush to Braga Municipal Stadium to challenge Braga away.

The second leg of the two teams will be played at the Marasi Stadium on February 24.

The winner enters the next round of knockout rounds, and the loser is out, that's that simple.

If Chu Jiang was not there, Sampdoria might have cost a considerable price to defeat Braga. However, with Chu Jiang in charge, they would not be very worried about losing to their opponents.

Chu Jiang has made many improvements to the team.

While helping Sampdoria achieve various brilliant results, he also inadvertently helped other members of the team gain more fame.

Back then, Kavacin was just a "fire-fighting captain", struggling with different teams every year on the brink of relegation. Who would have thought that now he already has two championship trophys, leads the team to appear in the ranks of championships, and can also comment on the team's European opponents seriously, and looks like a famous coach.

If Sampdoria can really win the league championship or the UEFA Cup this season, Cavacin will immediately become the coach of the "three championships", and maybe she will become a famous coach.

From a failed coach to a famous coach candidate, Kavacin's fate can be said to have been completely changed by Chu Jiang.

Now Kavacin has the confidence of the team's record and Chujiang defends the defense line. He is more bold and free when directing the game, and his tactical arrangements are more inclined to take risks. He gradually has his own style in his words and deeds.

When facing reporters, the confident Cavacin became more confident.

"We will play hard, and victory will belong to the team that is more prepared."

After learning about his opponent in the knockout stage, Braga's coach Domingos Passencia said with a serious face. Facing Chujiang's Sampdoria, Passencia did not come up with any good solutions.

"Braga is not an easy opponent, but we will be the ones who advance into the next round."

Sampdoria coach Cavacin commented in a domineering manner.

However, whether it is Braga or Juventus, it is all after the holidays.

Holidays are for enjoying life, and you can throw competitions and other things aside.

Well, business activities cannot be pushed out.

As the spokesperson of the three major brands of Nike, Versace and Burberry, Chu Jiang cannot simply turn down their endorsement activities. After all, Chu Jiang gets a considerable sponsorship fee from them every year, so he can't do anything without doing anything.

After arriving in Paris, Chu Jiang immediately attended a burberr and fashion clothing conference.

This is the showcase of Burberry's new winter windbreaker.

In this catwalk show, Chu Jiang played a guest role as a model. Although he had not received any professional training, Chu Jiang still completed it very naturally.

At the end of this exhibition, Emma also rushed to the scene from the United States. As one of the chief spokespersons of burberry, she certainly would not be absent.

When Chu Jiang took Emma's hand, wearing the latest couple outfit of Burberry and boarded the runway together, the entire new product launch conference immediately reached a climax. Screams and cheers frequently sounded, and the flash flashed uninterruptedly, recording every move of Chu Jiang and Emma in a complete manner.

After the new product launch conference, Emma and Chu Jiang took a series of promotional photos for Burberry.

In Paris, they have been promoting Burberry for the past two days. Although the work schedule is slow and the work tasks are heavy, as long as they can be together every day, Chu Jiang and Emma will not feel tired at all.

Two days passed by. After the burberry promotion ended, Emma's next stop was Hong Kong. Her itinerary this time was to do activities for Lancome.

In addition to endorsing burberry, Emma is also Lancome's image ambassador.

Originally, in Emma's itinerary, Lancome's trip to Hong Kong was scheduled in early December. However, in order to match Chu Jiang's itinerary, she deliberately suppressed Lancome's promotional time.
