Chapter 355 Confrontation

Bow and thank Da Zengjia for his reward!

———

Palacio put his waist on his back, shook his head, and looked at the Chinese man in front of Sampdoria helplessly.

Just now, Genoa's number one star got a good scoring opportunity, which was a side volley in a penalty area.

At that time, he happened to run out of the gap and received a wonderful pass from midfielder Kutska at 17 or 8 meters away from the goal.

When receiving the ball, there was no Sampdoria player next to him to defend.

If Palacio stops the ball, Sampdoria's defensive player will definitely approach him, affecting his shot or pass.

In order to fully grasp the scoring opportunity this time, Palacio did not stop the ball, did not make any adjustments, and directly volleyed with a volley.

This time, his movements were very stretched and his shooting quality was also very high.

At the moment of shooting, with the premonition of an excellent shooter, Palacio felt that this goal was definitely about to enter.

But in the end, I didn't enter!

Just as the football was about to fall into Sampdoria's goal, a strong figure soared into the air and a fist hit the football.

With a "bang" sound, the football bounced high in Palacio's surprised eyes and flew out of the crossbar.

When the opponent saved the game, seeing the graceful figure of the stunning figure, Palacio couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Beautiful!"

This feeling is very strange.

It was obvious that the opponent saved the goal he was determined to score, but Palacio couldn't help but cheer for his opponent in his heart.

What's going on?

Palacio shook his head, patted his head, and walked back with his head down.

Behind him, Chu Jiang raised his arm high, shouted loudly, and called his teammates to enter the penalty area and set up a defensive position for corner kicks, as if the scene had not happened just now.

For Chu Jiang, it is probably common to make a beautiful save.

From the moment Palacio saved his shot, his attention shifted to the next corner defense.

As for that cool save, he completely threw it behind his mind, leaving only the aftertaste of the parties involved and the cheers of the bystanders.

The generous and calm Chujiang is becoming more and more popular.

Attack, take the air, and pick the ball.

The action was completed in one go, and Chu Jiang took the corner kick that Palacio took with a free expression.

After a few quick glances at the front court, no good chance was found, Chu Jiang held the ball firmly in his arms and waved his hand to signal his teammates to return to his position.

After his teammates stood up, Chu Jiang calmly threw the ball to his teammates, allowing his teammates to patiently organize the team's offense.

In Sampdoria, Chu Jiang is the leader player who stabilizes the morale of the army.

He raised his head and took a look at the electronic scoreboard on the field.

The game has reached the 27th minute, and the scores of the two teams are still 0:0, and no one can break through the opponent's goal.

In this game, Genoa lined up a 442 formation, goalkeeper Frey, four defenders Antonelli, Karaze, Dainelli and Marco Rossi, and the four midfielders were Merkel, Bielsa, Veroso and Kutzka.

On the forward line, Genoa's two attackers are high center Caraciolo and the team's top star Palacio.

Sampdoria is a 433 formation that is biased towards offense, with goalkeeper Chu Jiang, four defenders Ziegler, Gastaldello, Lucini and Zauri, three midfielders Palonbo, Nocerino and Poli.

On the front line, left winger Biabiani, right winger Dimikale, center is still German Klose.

During the game, Biabiani and Dimikele often crossed positions and had a relatively flexible position.

It can be said that after two weeks of rest, both teams sent their strongest lineup.

Obviously, they attach great importance to this derby battle, and no one is willing to lose in the derby battle.

In today's game, so far, Genoa's players have no good way to get Sampdoria's defense line led by Chu Jiang.

Similarly, when facing Genoa goalkeeper Frey, Cloze and the others are at a loss at the moment.

The game was in a deadlock and no one could do anything to anyone.

However, from the scene, Genoa currently has a certain advantage.

Genoa's Veroso and Kutzka are both players with outstanding abilities and active fighting. Under the stimulation of the derby atmosphere, they have fully demonstrated their abilities today, which has made Sampdoria players suffer.

In addition, their midfielder has one more player than Sampdoria, so in the midfield competition, Genoa players have gained some advantages.

"The light shines on the city of lighthouses, and glory belongs to us Genoese!"

In the stands, more than 20,000 Genoa fans sang in unison, encouraging their team to work hard.

At the same time, their fans used brightly colored cardboard to spell out their team's team logo in the North stands. Below the Genoa team logo, there is a huge number, "118".

118, marking that the Genoa Club has a history of 118 years since its establishment!

This football club, founded in 1893, is the first football club in Italy, much earlier than the two Milan heroes. The establishment of Genoa Football Club also marked the birth of Italian football. In the early days of Italian football, Genoa was the well-deserved overlord at that time.

This number marks the pride of Genoa fans and is also a mockery of Sampdoria, a mortal enemy in the city.

Sampdoria was founded in 1946. Compared with Derby's rival Genoa, they are much younger, and they have only 65 years of history. They are the juniors in Italian football.

Seeing that his team was ridiculed, Sampdoria's fans were not to be outdone.

In their traditional South stands, Sampdoria fans also spelled out a huge pattern.

This is a pattern composed of two trophys and a string of Italian letters. The two trophys are the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup championship trophy. Below these two trophys, there is a string of Italian letters, which translates into Chinese, which means "When you last won the championship, humans had not yet landed on the moon."

Last season, under Chu Jiang's leadership, Sampdoria won two consecutive championship trophys.

And what about their city rival Genoa? The last time he won the championship dates back to 1937, when they won the Italian Cup.

In fact, Genoa won the Serie B championship in 2004-05. However, after winning that championship, they were directly punished by the Italian Football Association for the counterfeiting case and went to Class C.

That time the championship is not mentioned.

For tooth for tooth, for eye for eye.

In the stands at the Malasi Stadium, loyal fans of the two teams faced each other and enjoyed their fight.

On the field, the two teams fought very fiercely, especially in the midfield.

Because he was worried about Chu Jiang's free kick, Genoa coach Malesani adopted a strategy to compete with Sampdoria in the midfield.

As long as Sampdoria's threatening offense can be strangled in the final game, as long as he can control the ball in the midfield, Chu Jiang's set ball power will naturally be reduced to the lowest level.

Genoa players are determined to implement the command of Malesani, which makes Sampdoria's three midfielders today in trouble. Whether it is Palonbo, Nocerino, or Poli, they have been repeatedly violated by opponents today and are frequently brought down by Genoa players.

In the face of the opponent's fierce pressing, Sampdoria's offense is difficult to pass the half.

However, Genoa players have also paid some price for their tactics.

Before the first half was over, four players in their team had yellow cards, including their back-defense back-end Karaze. Such frequent cards also laid hidden dangers for their remaining game time.

Genoa's offensive tactics are very simple, which is to use Sampdoria, a pair of centre-back partners, to turn slowly, frequently send out straight passes to hit behind Sampdoria's defense line.

This set of tactics can be said to hit the weak point of Sampdoria's defense line. Although the error rate is a bit high, as long as the strike is successful, it will pose a direct threat to the gantry guarded by Chu Jiang.

Palacio's volley was due to such a tactic.

In the 37th minute, Veroso made a long pass, Caraciolo headed the ball and hit the ball behind Sampdoria's defense again.

Using the speed, Palacio once again got rid of Sampdoria's defender's marking and led the ball straight into the opponent's hinterland in the penalty area.

Single shot!

Although Gastaldello and Zauri are chasing each other, they are still quite far from Palacio.

Now, Chu Jiang can only rely on himself!

rush!

Chu Jiang seized the opportunity and rushed forward, very decisive!

Palacio glanced at Chu Jiang who was attacking, frowned, then decisively kicked and shot the far corner of the goal.

He wanted to bypass Chujiang.

Palacio is still scared about Chu Jiang's frontal defense ability. He is now impossible to challenge the close corner of the goal again.

Facing Chu Jiang's attack, he would rather choose a more difficult shooting method than find a way to avoid Chu Jiang's frontal defense.

As soon as the ball flew up, Chu Jiang immediately rushed to the side.

Huh?

Chu Jiang's outstretched arm did not touch the ball.

He turned his head and looked back, and saw the football go around a relatively large arc, which was off the post and hit the billboard behind the goal.

That should be true.

Chu Jiang's attack attribute is very high.

Under the additional effect of the goalkeeper's halo, Chu Jiang's goalkeeper attributes in each item have increased by 1 in the game. Now his attack is 17, save is 17, reaction is 18, position is 17, prediction is 16, one-on-one is 16, and all kinds of techniques are at the first-class level.
Chapter completed!
