Chapter 212: Passing by the wind

Since this game is Sampdoria's "home court", the number of fans in Sampdoria wearing blue uniforms far exceeds that of Genoa fans in blue and red uniforms.

Looking down from above the square stadium, except for the fiery red to the north, all other areas of the stadium are blue, just like an isolated island standing in the endless ocean.

With the cheers of the stadium broadcast and the dominant number of people, the voice of Sampdoria fans obviously surpassed Genoa fans.

In this "fan derby" before the game, Sampdoria's fans had an absolute advantage without any problems.

Will the game be the same?

Perhaps it was because he was late in the last game and changed the formation. In this focus battle, Di Carlo continued his playing style in the previous game and continued to line up a three-middle formation of 4312.

Judging from the lineup, except for Macheda replacing the somewhat frizzy Biyabiani and Kurchi who returned from injury replaced Chu Jiang, the other players were exactly the same as the lineup that beat Bologna in the last game.

Obviously, Di Carlo hopes to continue the feeling of winning in the previous game in this way.

Genoa head coach Balardini is in a formation of 442.

The goalkeeper is Eduardo, the four defenders are Cristo, Carazze, Dainelli, Mesto, and four midfielders Marco Rossi, Milanetto, Kutzka, Rafinia, double strikers Flores and Palacio.

Eduardo, Cristo, Carazze, Kutzka and Palacio are the most famous players in Genoa.

The battle was originally scheduled to be held on December 19 last year, but it was forced to postpone due to heavy snow. This is the 103rd Lighthouse Derby in history.

After referee Moganti whistled, the 103rd Genoa derby officially began.

In the fan stands, Sampdoria's fans sang cheering songs almost immediately to encourage the team to attack. Under the advocacy of fan organizations such as Blue Mariners, the fans shouted slogans neatly and raised the team scarf in their hands in unison to create the best stadium atmosphere for the team.

However, amid the cheers of Sampdoria fans, the Genoa who took the lead in controlling the situation on the field and completing the shot was the "away" game.

Just 9 seconds into the opening game, Genoa made a long pass from the backcourt and passed the ball to Sampdoria's hinterland.

10 meters away from the penalty area, Flores carried Gastaldero, headed the ball back, and passed the ball to Kutska behind him.

Kutzka dribbled the ball with a big stride, passed Poly who was robbed, and drove the ball forward.

At 30 meters away from the goal, Kutzka suddenly took a long shot, and the football rushed to the left of Sampdoria's goal like a shell.

Kurchi flew to save, but he didn't touch the ball.

Fortunately, Kutzka's long shot flew out against the left goal post and did not shoot directly to the goal.

With the help of the goddess of luck, Sampdoria escaped.

Otherwise, just 9 seconds after the opening game, Sampdoria would be the first to fall behind the opponent with the cheers of her fans, which would definitely be a very ironic thing.

Sitting on the bench, Chu Jiang shook his head.

Chu Jiang was not satisfied with Kurchi's reaction this time.

If he guards the goal, he will definitely react faster than Kurchi, and his explosive power and bounce power will be stronger than him.

If Chu Jiang guards the goal, he will definitely be able to hit the football and hit it out of the baseline, rather than relying on luck to avoid an opponent's goal.

Although Kutska's long shot failed, it opened the curtain of Genoa's offensive.

In the 7th minute, Marco Rossi dribbled the ball from the right and broke through Ziegler's defense. He dribbled the ball into Sampdoria's penalty area. When he encountered an interception, his right foot cross hit Flores and bounced back.

The rebounding football fell right at Palacio's feet. The Argentinian did not make any adjustments and volleyed on the right side of the penalty area!

With a "bang", the football hit the crossbar hard!

Sampdoria escaped again!

In the defense of this ball, Kurchi just stretched out his hand symbolically and did not touch the football.

If the football hits the goal frame, it will be another goal without a doubt!

Sampdoria's fans were silent.

Their escaping from death one after another made their high mood drop instantly.

It is true that luck is also part of football. However, it is not a good thing to always rely on luck to avoid opponents’ goals.

Chu Jiang was also silent, he was powerless to complain.

If he is not in his position and does not plan his own affairs, he has no choice but to the team's current dilemma.

Five minutes later, Sampdoria's frontcourt created a good opportunity.

Rafinia was cut off from the backcourt, and Sampdoria counterattacked on the spot.

Guberti and Palonbo played two and one, dribbled into the penalty area. After wiping the opponent's last defensive player, Guberti formed a one-on-one chance.

At this time, Macheda was on his right.

In the opponent's penalty area, Sampdoria fired both swords at the same time. The only opponent facing the two offensive players was Genoa's Portuguese goalkeeper Eduardo.

Compared to Kurchi, who was ineffective, Eduardo was obviously much better.

Facing Guberti's shot, he not only quickly reacted, but also rushed to the side as soon as possible and knocked the football away with one punch, bravely resolving the danger in front of the goal and regaining the team's most likely loss of points.

This is the magic that is exclusive to the goalkeeper!

This is the role of an excellent goalkeeper!

This is also the gap between Kurchi and Chu Jiang.

On the football field, stability means mediocrity in a sense. As the last iron gate of the team, stability is essential, but courage is also a necessary quality for an outstanding goalkeeper. Otherwise, he would be just a mediocre goalkeeper.

In the next game, Sampdoria controlled the midfield, while Genoa's offense was even more sharp.

This description may sound strange, but this is the situation in the game.

Sampdoria's offense is quite complicated and has a long time to get involved in the midfield, so she has more time to control the ball, but the offensive efficiency is not high, and it does not pose any threat to Genoa's goal.

In contrast, Genoa's style of playing is very simple and practical.

Grab, force, break, siege and block, grab the ball and quickly pass through the midfield, seeking to hit Sampdoria behind, and use Palacio's speed to attack Samp's defense.

Although this style of play is simple, it is very practical. It fully utilizes the characteristics of its own team and also captures the weakness of Sampdoria's overall slow defense line speed.

In the 36th minute of the game, Genoa's tactics worked again.

Rafinia made a straight pass, Marco Rossi dribbled the ball in the middle of the penalty area, and shot the crossbar with his left foot.

Flores made a shot into the net, but he was offside first.

“…”

Chu Jiang was speechless.

Kurchi didn't touch the ball again. Although he swept, it was exactly the same as not!

His existence is just to make the opponent pay attention not to hit him.

Although Chu Jiang's view is a bit subjective, it has to be said that compared to Eduardo, Kurchi's role is really not very good.

In the 43rd minute, Genoa made a quick counterattack. Flores passed the ball to Palacio who was quickly inserted. Palacio did not pass to Marcorosi who was unmarked in the middle. He shot himself incredibly missed.

Shortly after this attack, referee Moganti blew the midfield whistle.

In the first half, although Genoa's possession rate was not as good as Sampdoria, there was no doubt that they were more proactive and their offense was more threatening.

If Sampdoria hadn't helped the home crossbar, they would have entered the halftime with the lead.

Before the game, the media were more optimistic about Sampdoria, and Sampdoria fans were also looking forward to a refreshing derby victory.

However, victory? Sampdoria is not on the way yet!

In the whole first half, Sampdoria's best chance was Guberti's one, but she was rescued by Eduardo. At other times, they didn't even shoot a few times.

Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

To be honest, if it weren't for luck, the Genoa could have even confirmed the victory of the entire game in one fell swoop in half.

"In the second half, I want to play, I can perform better than Kurchi!"

At the beginning of the halftime break, Chu Jiang immediately found Di Carlo and took the initiative to ask for the game.

The game is Chu Jiang's obsession. He will never give up the idea of ​​playing games no matter where he or she is.

Seeing such a stubborn Chu Jiang, Di Carlo felt a little headache.

Is there any goalkeeper change during the break?

No...even if there is, it is because the main goalkeeper was injured.

Although the situation on the court is not good, the score is still 0:0. How could it be that the goalkeeper can be changed at this time? Isn’t this a fantasy?

"If you have the chance, I will change you to the game."

Dikaro said perfunctorily.

After saying this, he seemed to have walked away.

“…”

Chu Jiang was speechless.

At the beginning of the second half, Sampdoria made a substitution.

However, it was not for Kurchi, but for Gastaldello.

In the first half, Gastaldero was injured. So, in the second half, the head coach replaced him with young player Volta.

As it turns out, luck is unreliable.

Relying on luck, Sampdoria, who maintained the balance of scores, tasted the bitter fruit she made himself not long after the second half.

In the 54th minute, 26 meters away from the goal, Rafinia shot hard and penetrated Sampdoria's goal.

1:0, the Genoese took the lead.

This time, Kurchi made another save. However, when his hands were in place, the football had already passed his defensive area.

He once again rubbed the wind with Qiumao!
