After defeating Lazio away, the media gave all the praises to Cloze

It was precisely because of Klose's last-minute goal that Sampdoria barely defeated Lazio and took three points away from the Olympic Stadium.[]

At the beginning of the season, people had doubted Klose's current strength.

After all, a powerful center like Klose who relies on his body to make a living once he is over 32 or 33 years old, it will be difficult for him to maintain his peak state.

However, Klose used impeccable performance to dispel everyone's concerns.

In this season's Serie A, this old-age striker has scored 1 goal, ranking No. 1 in the Serie A scorer list, and is Sampdoria's top scorer in the league.

Klose, still the sword is still old!

Klose is definitely an indelible contribution to Sampdoria's outstanding performance this season!

However, the low-key Klose did not care about the media's praise.

When faced with a familiar German reporter interview, Mino attributed most of the team's performance to the performance of another teammate, that is, Chu Jiang.

In Klose's view, Chu Jiang is the most indispensable player of the team, the pillar of the team's defense, and the source of the team's offense.

Klose praised this talented genius and highly praised it.

Although Klose may be a little too modest, what he said is definitely not without reason.

Taking the away game against Lazio as an example, Cloze, who scored a goal, is certainly a hero, but the biggest hero who has helped the team defend the fruits of victory is Chu Jiang.

If it weren't for his high and low gear, Sampdoria would have been very difficult even if she scored one point.

The Serie A is over.

At present, there are still the last five games left before the final end of this season's Italian League One.

In the league standings, the top of the list is the unbeaten Juventus team, whose points have reached 69 points.

The second place is the Red and Black Army with 68 points. Sampdoria, led by Chu Jiang, is still ranked third in Serie A, and their points have reached 66 points.

In the standings, Udinese and Inter Milan are ranked fourth, with 52 points now. In addition, Napoli and Lazio tied for sixth in the league with 5 points.

In other words, Sampdoria is currently only 3 points behind the top team, while the team leading the fourth place has as many as 14 points.

There is also the final game, and this year's Serie A will all end.

Under such a background, Sampdoria can theoretically ensure the top three in the league as long as she gets 2 more league points, thus qualifying for participating in the European Champions League next season!

Such news is inspiring for every Sampdoria player.

At the beginning of the season, people thought that the Mariners were just mid-range teams in the Serie A, and the league rankings should be hovering between 7th and 10th.

But now, after a whole season of hard work, Chu Jiang and others are extremely close to their Champions League seats!

Such a result was beyond the media, and the surprises of experts also made their fans overjoyed.

Chu Jiang, Klose, Nocerino, Poly, Coutinho, etc., these players who performed well this season have all been worshipped by fans. Especially Chu Jiang, who led the sailors all the way through the hurdles, is a hero in the fans' minds!

Regardless of the final result of this season, it is a successful season for Sampdoria.

Or, it can be said that this season has been Sampdoria's most successful season since the curtain call of "Golden Sampdoria"!

On April 25, Sampdoria traveled to Spain to challenge the powerful Valencia away.

Tomorrow is their second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.

As long as they don't lose more than two goals in this game, they can successfully eliminate the Bat Legion and enter the UEFA Cup finals in Romania!

Another match in the Europa League semi-finals, the match between Athletic Bilbao in Spain and Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, was also played on the same day.

In the first leg, Sporting Lisbon defeated Athletic Bilbao with a score of 21 at home and gained a certain lead.

However, compared with Sampdoria, Sporting Lisbon's lead is not obvious.

Because, they only won one goal, and they also allowed their opponent to score a away goal.

If Sampdoria's lead is 15 goals, Sporting Lisbon's advantage is only 05 goals.

Therefore, in the second round, the two teams, Sporting Lisbon and Athletic Bilbao, were able to break out, are still very difficult to predict.

All the results will only be clear when the whole game is over.

On the day when Sampdoria's players arrived in Valencia, Spain, the first-ever Serie A supplementary match is in full swing.

In this round of games, Juventus' opponent is Cesena, while AC Milan's opponent is Genoa.

The two teams ranked in the top two in the final score won the game, and the scores were both economical and practical.

With the victory of this game and also due to Sampdoria's absence, AC Milan and Juventus took the opportunity to widen the points gap with Sampdoria.

After this round of make-up, AC Milan, the second-placed player, has already led Sampdoria, who has one game less, by 5 points.

However, Sampdoria players have no time to care about the situation in the league at this time.

All their thoughts have been focused on the upcoming second leg knockout. As Italy's only European fighters, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of competing for European fight points for Serie A.

Valencia is Spain's third largest city and the second largest seaport. It is located in the southeast of Spain, bordering the sea in the east and backed by a vast plain. It is evergreen all year round and has a pleasant climate. It is known as "a pearl on the west coast of the Mediterranean."

With Sampdoria, Chujiang has been to many European cities.

This is his second time to Spain and his first time to Valencia.

The last time he came to Spain, he led the team to eliminate Atletico Madrid. What will happen to Valencia's fate this time?

Mestalia Stadium is a famous stadium famous at home and abroad. It witnesses Valencia's glorious history and present. It is an eternal temple in the minds of Valencia fans.

This home game between Valencia and Sampdoria was played in this stadium.

Although the team's current situation is not good and the qualifying situation is unclear, more than 40,000 fans still poured in to watch the game.

Compared with the first leg of the game, Valencia only had a few positions to replace some players. For example, Canales, who was substituted in the last leg, got the chance to start this round.

In most positions, they still used the staffing configuration of the previous round.

Sampdoria's starting lineup has undergone a big change. In this game, Cavacin not only adopted a brand new formation, but also used a lot of role players.

In this game, Sampdoria's formation is 531

The goalkeeper is still the core player Chu Jiang.

Five defenders, left-back Lazko, left-back Cardirola, center-back Lukini, right-back Gastaldero, right-back Zaubli.

Three midfielders, Nocerino, the left midfielder, in the center Palombo, and Semioli, the right midfielder.

The two forward players were cruising behind the French young player Biabiani, and the sudden arrow was German forward Klose.

In this starting lineup, there are no main players such as Dimikele, Poly, Coutinho and Ziegler. Instead, they are some players with relatively more physical strength.

Regardless of the head coach's real intention, it can be seen from this "unrecognized" lineup that Kavacin has done enough homework in this game and has very much thoughts.

The five defenders are to ensure the team's defensive hardness on the away game; for two strikers, Biabiani is a fast counterattack expert, and Klose is an expert in seizing opportunities.

At the same time, Latzko and Semioli, who are attacking and instigators, are both players who can go up and down and have very strong physical strength, from left to right.

Cavacin's intention to put forward such a lineup is already very clear, that is: guard!

With two goals in his lead, Cavacin did not intend to play against his opponent away. From the first minute of the opening game, Sampdoria's attitude was very clear, which was to counterattack.

Storing heavy troops in the backcourt to compress the opponent's offensive space; at the same time, using fast horses to disrupt the opponent's defense line, and using goal experts to deter the opponent's ball flash.

This is the tactics Kavacin formulated for Sampdoria.

Cavacin should not hide such a tactic. Even if it is a conspiracy, it can make Valencia very uncomfortable.

If you want to qualify and enter the finals, Valencia has no other way except to attack.

However, facing the Italian team's iron barrel formation and the two sharp knives located in the backcourt of his side, Valencia was really helpless.

Italian football is famous for its reinforced concrete-like defense. As an Italian team, Sampdoria is also well aware of three of them.

Although the players' personal strength is not outstanding, with the chain defense system, they have no big solution to players such as Soldado, Canales.

Even if they use their personal abilities to tear open Sampdoria's defense and create several scoring opportunities, they can't do anything to Chu Jiang's "city wall".

In the whole game, Valencia had no choice but to deal with Sampdoria, and the game seemed very dull.

On the contrary, Sampdoria took advantage of Biabiani's speed shortly after the second half to get a good counterattack opportunity.

As a result, Ricardo.

Costa tackled Biabiani 32 meters away from the goal and gave Sampdoria a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
