Chapter 356: But let the flying general in Longcheng be

It is not easy for Palacio to avoid Chu Jiang's defense.

Unless his shot can make a very exciting arc, it will be no easy task to break through Chu Jiang's defense.

Shooting missed?

Just something to be expected.

Chu Jiang stood up calmly, turned around, and asked the caddie behind the goal for football.

The scene that seemed thrilling to others was just a common thing in Chu Jiang, who had probably expected the result.

Behind Chu Jiang, Palacio held his head with a very depressed expression.

Repeated missed opportunities to score points are tantamount to a psychological torture for Genoa's ace shooter.

The opportunity was finally created but could not break through the opponent's goal, which made Palacio feel a little anxious.

What's going on?

Palacio muttered in his heart.

It is indeed not easy to break through Sampdoria's defense line. Under Chu Jiang's command, there are not many flaws in their defense line.

However, due to the technical characteristics of the players themselves, some defects are difficult to avoid.

For example, Sampdoria's two central defenders, Gastaldello and Lucini, are both high-ranking defenders, with good experience and strong frontal air defense capabilities, but their turn speed is a bit slow and they do not have any advantage when chasing back.

This is the characteristic of Sampdoria's central defender. She has the ability to defend her front, but she can't defend the ball behind her.

Use your speed and fight behind them firmly. Try a few more times and you will always find an opportunity to break through their defense.

This is how Malezani instructed his team before the game.

But even if you finally passed the level of Gastaldello and Lucini, so what?

Isn’t it a waste of effort to not be able to take down Chu Jiang?

He played five games in the league today, and Palacio scored a total of five goals, an average of one game. In terms of efficiency, he is already a striker with a very high goal rate.

Lazio's Marcheti, Catania's Andujar, Cévo's Sorentino and Parma's Mirante, these goalkeepers who have been in the Serie A for many years have all been scored by Palacio in the past games. Among them, the more unlucky ones were even scored by Palacio alone.

However, when facing Chu Jiang, Palacio really couldn't find any good solution.

Among the goalkeepers Palacio encountered this season, Chu Jiang is the youngest in terms of age; Chu Jiang is the least in terms of experience.

However, in terms of goalkeeper skills and calmness when guarding the goal, all of them are not as good as Chu Jiang!

But let the flying general in Longcheng be there, and the Huma will not be able to cross Yinshan!

Chu Jiang is Sampdoria's "Dragon City Flying Admiral"!

It is easy to shake Sampdoria, but difficult to shake Chujiang. This is a true portrayal of the hearts of Palacio and other Genoa strikers!

In the first half, Genoa had the advantage on the field and tried every means to break through Sampdoria's goal.

However, under Chu Jiang's command, the Sampdorians did not give their opponents much chance.

Their only two good scoring opportunities were also steadily rejected by Chu Jiang.

With the referee's whistle, Genoa and Sampdoria formed a 0:0 draw in the first half.

During the halftime break, although the team was at a disadvantage on the field, Kavacin still recognized the team's performance.

In particular, Chu Jiang's review of the team's defense and the blockade of Palacio's two shots were highly praised by Cavacin.

In Cavacin's view, the team's passiveness in the field is due to the opponent's tactics being targeted at one's own side, and the number of fouls is relatively frequent, and the pressing is too active, which limits the performance of Sampdoria's players.

Genoa's tactics require relatively high physical strength.

In the first half, as long as their players' physical fitness declines, Sampdoria players will naturally rely on their own ball control ability to return the rhythm of the game to their own control.

In addition, Genoa made more fouls in the first half and got a lot of yellow cards.

When physical fitness declines, if they are not careful, they will easily get their second yellow card. If they get the second yellow card and are expelled from the referee, they will fall into a very unfavorable situation.

In order to avoid this second yellow card, they must pay attention to their actions in the second half and cannot be as unbridled as the first half. In this way, the oppression of Sampdoria midfielders will inevitably be reduced to a certain extent.

So, although the team's scene is not good for the time being, Kavacin is not in a hurry.

However, in order to alleviate the team's current difficulties, Cavacin made a substitution adjustment.

He used Franco Semioli to replace Biabiani, who was mediocre in the first half.

Franco Semioli was born in Inter Milan youth training camp and became famous by Chivo.

In the 2004-05 season, he was once the assists champion in Chivo and the second place in the Serie A assist list, trailing Juventus' Camoranesi by only two assists.

Semioli's speed and breakthrough ability are very good, especially his crossing, which is his signature to become famous in Serie A.

This is a fullback with strong personal abilities.

The most important thing is that he is a full-back. Compared with Biabiani, his defensive ability is obviously stronger.

When the team's midfield cannot be controlled, he can help Poly, Palonbo and others to regain the possession of the midfield.

Last year, Semioli was nearly reimbursed for one season due to injury.

This season, he finally returned from injury.

However, due to his first recovery from a serious injury, the coach was not in a hurry to send him on the court immediately, but let him slowly find his state in training.

Recently, Semioli has performed well in training and his physical condition has basically recovered. In this game, Cavacin reactivated him and asked him to replace Biabiani on the court.

After a brief break, the second half of the Lighthouse Derby began to officially take place.

In the second half, Genoa's style of play became conservative.

In the 90-minute game, how to allocate physical fitness is a very big knowledge. In order not to collapse in the final stage, they began to save physical fitness, which is almost an inevitable thing. What's more, five of them have yellow cards on their bodies.

Cavacin's substitution adjustments soon worked.

After the experienced Semioli came on the court, he frequently retreated to the midfield to help Zauri and Poli sort out the midfield. With his retracement, Sampdoria often had a situation of 2-to-1 and 3-to-2 in the local position of the midfield to play less.

Not long after, Sampdoria, who had accumulated physical strength in the first half, slowly regained control of the midfield.

Through Poli's midfield sorting, Nocerino's back row was inserted, Dimichele and Semioli attacked on both sides, and Sampdoria soon set the war on the hinterland of Genoa.

In the 65th minute of the game, Chu Jiang threw the ball and launched a quick counterattack.

He threw the ball almost through half the game and handed it directly to Semioli on the right.

This time, the strength, and the timing of passing the ball are all just right!

Semioli dribbled the ball and drove straight in, waded directly through Antonelli, and went down to the near-bottom line to make a cross.

In the middle of the penalty area, Kloze beat Karaze to compete for the top, and a powerful header shot to the goal.

Frey is worthy of being the goalkeeper who maintains the third-price record in the world.

Although the header is of very high quality, French goalkeeper Frey still made a key save at the critical moment and saved Khosseus' header from the bottom line.

Just a little bit short!

Klose shook his head regretfully, then applauded Semioli, praising his teammates' cross with great grace.

Frey, who made a wonderful save, received applause from all Genoa fans, but he was still unsatisfied.

After standing up, Frey yelled at his teammates, reminding them to improve their attention.

If one attack fails, then come for the second time!

The Sampdoria players were not discouraged. After the midfielder sorting out, they quickly gained a second offensive opportunity.

In the 70th minute, Poly passed the ball to Dimikale who cut in.

Dimikale made a false move to break through, but knocked the ball back.

Behind him, Nocerino inserted into the back row, volleyed vigorously, and the football flew out of the bottom line on the crossbar.

call!

The fans of the audience exclaimed.

Nocerino's powerful shot made all Genoa fans exclaim in a cold sweat.

After that, Sampdoria, who had regained the rhythm of the game, entered a better and better performance. Correspondingly, Genoa's players' defensive pressure became increasingly greater, and sometimes they had to use foul tactics to stop the opponent.

In the 73rd minute, Karaze knocked down Klose on the edge of the penalty area, and Sampdoria won a free kick.

This free kick was still taken by their number one set-piece master Chu Jiang.

Aiming at the upper left corner of Genoa's goal, Chu Jiang sent a fallen leaf ball.

The football was beautifully circled a curve and headed straight to the dead corner of the goal.

However, Genoa's goalkeeper Frey made a world-class save, jumped and blocked Chu Jiang's free throw from the goal without any effort, and the goal was not lost again.

Seeing Chu Jiang's free throw bypassing Genoa's wall, Sampdoria's fans immediately stood up and prepared to cheer and celebrate the goal.

With their experience watching the ball, this ball will be very popular.

However, Frey's save forced them to sit down in frustration.

Although Frey, who is 31 years old, may not be as strong as his peak period. However, so far, his performance today is still approaching his peak period.

Frey, who has the third highest transfer price, has set a record of winning the best goalkeeper in Serie A twice in a row. Isn’t he a mediocre goalkeeper?
