Chapter 44 Sampdoria

Veteran Montella's shot was weak, Cereni easily took the ball off, Bigfoot quickly drove the ball out, and the Turin team counterattacked!

Bijellanovic headed the ball horizontally, Zhu Hantao took the ball, and then passed it back to the midfielder. The midfielder Corini took two steps outside the penalty area, shot a cold arrow, and shot straight to the goal with a long shot.

Sampdoria's defensive players did not expect that they would all focus on Zhu Hantao, who had just scored a goal, and Bijellanovic, who was standing in the penalty area.

Milante reacted quickly and made a decisive save, but unfortunately he was still a step too late, and the ball rubbed his fingertips into the net.

The Turin team scored another goal. In the 25th minute of the first half, the home team had already achieved a [-]-[-] lead. Coach Novellino even raised his legs.

"There is no way for this goal. Mirante's reaction is already very timely. It is really that Corini's long shot is too unexpected. No one thought that he would make such a sudden kick, and the quality of the shot is very high."

"Yes, the ball is fast and the angle is tricky. Sampdoria's goalkeeper almost missed the ball. It should be because there is no defensive player outside the penalty area to protect him. Who was the one closest to Corini just now?"

"Looks like Volpi, standing by and watching."

"Is it defensive with eyes? This goal is his problem. If it plays a disturbing role, the Turin team may not be able to score this goal."

It's useless to say anything else, Zhu Hantao assisted the veteran midfielder Corini to score his first goal of the season and the second goal of the Turin team in this game.

After Corini confirmed the goal, he ran over and hugged Zhu Hantao, "Thank you for the assist."

"Hey, it's your beautiful shot. Can you teach me how to shoot from long range when I get back?" Zhu Hantao scratched his head.

"no problem!"

With more than ten minutes left in the first half, Sampdoria has fallen behind by two goals. The players seem to lack morale and cannot attack.

At this time, one person stood up. Sampdoria's midfielder Angelo Palombo is a very unusual player. This Italian born in Florence has very rare spiritual attributes among his compatriots.

His tenacious willpower and unyielding heart made him more like a German player than an Italian. Although the team was behind and the situation was unfavorable on the court, he did not give up at all, and loudly reprimanded his teammates who did not perform well, "Cheer up! The game is not over yet! Don't give them another chance, damn it, if you lose your position, you will stop! Can't you even shovel?!"

After his yelling, it seemed that the Sampdoria team cheered up a bit. Although they didn't achieve any offensive results, they finally stopped the Turin team's offensive and didn't let them open the score again. The gap between the current two goals ended the first half.

During the half-time break, Turin coach Novellino praised the performance of the whole team without making any tactical adjustments. In his opinion, their tactics were very successful, and it would be over if they continued to play like this in the second half.

Sampdoria's head coach Mazari has not been easy all the way. He started his coaching career when he was nearly [-] years old. He has served as Bologna's assistant coach and the coach of the youth training team.

It was not until the summer of 2004, when his contemporaries Ancelotti and Mourinho had conquered Europe respectively, that Mazzarri had his first taste of coaching a Serie A team.

After experiencing the baptism of assistant coach, youth team coach, C-level, B-level and relegation teams, Mazari, who has been step by step, was finally called by the traditional famous Sampdoria when he was 46 years old.

This is Mazari's first season coaching Sampdoria. He is full of ambitions to build a career, but the start is not smooth. After the sixth round of Serie A, Samp only ranked No.11, which did not meet his expectations.

In this away game against Turin, Mazari was ready for a tough fight before the game. The Torino team has been in good form in recent games, and they are playing at home, which will definitely bring some troubles to themselves. But I didn't expect that the troubles are not small. At the end of the half, they are already behind by two goals. This game is really difficult to play.

I glanced at my players, "I am very dissatisfied with your performance. Why is there a loophole in the defense? Some people are absent-minded when playing the ball. I hope that I can concentrate on the second half. If there is a foul, I will make a kick. First stabilize the defense, and then talk about the counterattack."

The players who felt that they did not perform well in the first half silently lowered their heads, not daring to look at the head coach.

Mazari went on to say: "The two full-backs give me more assists! Be active and put some pressure on the opponent's defensive players so that they don't have time to participate in the attack! Cassano, warm up and get ready to play."

"Okay, coach, I'll give them a good look." At this time, Cassano is not the old demon in the future. He has just experienced troubles in Real Madrid and was loaned to Sampdoria this season. He still wants to perform well to prove his strength.

Montella is indifferent. He no longer has the same vigor as he did when he was young on the green field. He is tired of the life of not being able to play the ball and being rented everywhere in the late Rome. He will choose to retire next year, end his career early, and become a youth team coach.

Sampdoria's head coach Mazzarri is still hesitating whether to give up his favorite three-back tactic and replace a central defender with an offensive player to strengthen the offense. He also feels that he should stabilize the defense first and not let the Turin team score again. He decided to take another look.

The game started in the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again. The Turin team naturally did not make a substitution. Sampdoria made a substitution in the midfield. Mazari replaced Montella, who performed poorly in the first half, with Cassano.

Sure enough, after the midfield lecture, the spirit of Sampdoria's players was completely different from that of the first half. Palombo intercepted the midfielder and handed the ball to Samarco.

The young midfielder Samarco from Milan's youth training was once hailed as a genius midfielder. He was favored by many Italian media for his ability to attack and defend well. Unfortunately, his performance has not been able to meet everyone's expectations of him.

After taking the ball, Samarco faced Zanetti's forward press and sent a direct pass to the gap between the Turin team's midfield and back line. Cassano rushed to the ball and took control of the ball.

Cassano, who has outstanding skills and is good at dribbling, unconsciously wanted to show his skills with his feet. De La Fiore didn't give him face, let him sway left and right like a mountain, and cut the ball at the moment Cassano wanted to pull the ball.

The bad boy, Kamazi ball, was very unhappy when his ball was broken, his eyes rolled around, not knowing what bad idea he was thinking.

The Turin team failed to attack. Zhu Hantao was surrounded by two defenders in the penalty area and failed to form a goal. Sampdoria goalkeeper Mirant grabbed the ball.

Seeing this, Mazari regretted it a bit. Would it be better if Cassano was supported by someone in the frontcourt just now if he replaced another offensive player? Now Sampdoria still invests too little troops in the offense.

Volpi passed a cross to Palombo. Palombo had a strong defensive ability and outstanding mental attributes. Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to advance with the ball, so he passed the ball back to Volpi.

The 33-year-old Italian midfielder Volpi has comprehensive skills and experience. He can control the rhythm of the team to a certain extent. He is weaker in physical confrontation because he is not tall.

Under Glera's pressure, he barely gave the ball to Delvecchio. Delvecchio looked up and saw Cassano who was reaching for the ball in front of him, and he kicked the ball to Cassano's feet.

The bad boy faced De La Fiore again with a smirk, and it was another one-on-one opportunity. This time, he didn't make any fake moves. He found the right moment and stabbed the football. The ball went between the legs of the Torino central defender and passed through the block!

The aura is extraordinary, and Cassano's talent is also shown. Marco, who came from the defense, made a decisive shovel, cleanly, shoveled the ball away, and Cassano also fell to the ground.

"Bah!" After spitting out the grass in his mouth, he fell down on the court and got grass in his mouth. Kamazi lost his smile and got up from the ground with a face.

It was Palombo again, Rosina retreated to respond, and wanted to break through with the ball, but was intercepted by Palombo's vicious uphill grab, the ball was handed over to the wing, and Sampdoria's right defender Zenoni inserted at high speed.

Zenoni galloped so fast that Torino left-back Lanna was eaten raw in one fell swoop, and it was too late to reach out to grab the hem of his clothes after barely reaching behind him.

After the bottom, Zeloni made a pass, and Cassano outflanked it in the middle, but the cross was a high ball. What would you do with Cassano, who is only 1.7 meters tall and not very good at heading?

Mazari couldn't sit still, he didn't grasp such a good opportunity, he called the high center forward Andre Caracciolo who was sent by him to warm up just now.

That's right, Sampdoria used the second substitution in the No.609 minute of the game, replacing central defender Sala with center Caracciolo.

In the cross just now, if the one who grabbed the point in the middle was Caracciolo, who is tall, burly, good at jumping and good at heading, maybe he would have scored.

In Italy, many people always like to discuss who will be Baggio's successor. Baggio himself once said that he is very optimistic about Cassano on the field at this time. Unfortunately, the Azzurri, which is full of talents on the front line, has no successors. In the European Cup in 12, they could only rely on Bashen and the old bad boy.

Neither Balotelli nor Cassano have reached the heights they should have reached. It can be said with certainty that it has something to do with their personalities. Bashen has a willful and eccentric personality.

At this time, another Samp striker, Caracciolo, was fortunate to be Baggio's teammate at the end of his career. After being personally taught by Baggio in Brescia at the age of 20, he grew rapidly and was selected for the Italian national team.

However, after leaving Brescia, Caracciolo fell into a downturn. Whether in Palermo or in the current Sampdoria, he did not perform well.
