On the second day after the game, the whole of Italy was discussing the Champions League, and in these discussions, Sampdoria was a name repeatedly mentioned by them.

Even those media who were not optimistic about Sampdoria before had to call the name Zampdoria.

It wasn’t that they turned, but when the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, everyone suddenly discovered that only Sampdoria saved a little face for Italian football...

In all the group matches that were played at the same time last night, Juventus lost to the Turkish team 0:1 only by defeating Galatasaray away, and the final reflection is Juventus in points Tus ranked third with six points, and Galatasaray, who won them, ranked second in the group with seven points, surpassing Juventus by one point and won the right to qualify.

Although Juventus has always dominated the domestic market by calling on the wind and rain, but in the Champions League, it has shown unsatisfactory "tradition", but this time it is really too poor even if it did not qualify for the group stage.

After the game Juventus was scolded by the media and fans from management to coaches to players.

It should be known that this team was originally responsible for helping the entire Serie A to win some Champions League points-the Champions League points of a league is directly related to the final number of Champions League places that this league can have. Serie A now has only three Champions League places, one of which is still a qualifying place, and in leagues like the Premier League and La Liga, which have performed well in the Champions League, they have four places. Serie A has fewer places than others because of the overall sluggish performance of the winners in the Champions League.

Although Inter Milan won the glory of the Champions League in 2010, it was only the last glory of Serie A. Since the telephone door incident, Serie A's competitiveness in the Champions League has remained much less than before. With the decline of AC Milan and Inter Milan, even the Champions League can not beat, Serie A basically has nothing to win in the Champions League. Team.

This time Juventus had high hopes, but the performance was so disappointing.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" ridiculed Juventus as "civilian insider, foreigner layman", "Roman Sports" lamented that Juventus, such a team that could not qualify for the UEFA Champions League and even the group stage, was able to do so in Serie A With a big advantage to win the league title, I have to say that Serie A is really down now...

The other team that was previously optimistic is Naples. To say that this team's performance in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season is actually very good. In terms of points, they are the highest among the three Serie A teams, but Twelve points did not help them to get out of the "death group".

Although they defeated Arsenal 2:0 at home in the final group stage, but because Dortmund defeated Marseille 2-1 at away, under the same points and the same win-loss relationship, Naples were disadvantaged by the goal difference Ranked third, missed the knockout.

They became the eliminated team with the highest number of points in the history of the Champions League.

Look at Zenit St. Petersburg of Group G. After winning only one game, with six points, they all got the group qualifying right, which made Naples vomit blood.

They are the poorest team in the Champions League this season and the most sympathetic. The Italian domestic media did not criticize them much, but lamented their bad luck and spread the deadliest "death group" in the history of the Champions League.

You know that the first Chelsea point of the group E group is only twelve points. In the other group, the first point reached this group, but they couldn't qualify, and they really died.

Before the start of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Juventus and Naples had high hopes from the Italian media. If anyone can help Italian football to restore their dignity in the Champions League, it must be these two teams.

It turned out that after the group stage, the two teams were eliminated.

On the contrary, Sampdoria, who was considered to be home after the group stage, was not seen before the game. He stood out and became the only Italian team in the Champions League.

This is really a very ironic thing, which makes the mood of the people who mocked Sampdoria very complicated.

※※※

After all the top 16 teams came out, UEFA then conducted a draw in the quarterfinals.

This is a matter of great concern to everyone.

In the first round of the knockout round, there are some rules against the draw, such as the first team against the second team, the same league team avoids, the same team teams avoid.

But for Sampdoria, the second condition can be ignored, because the whole of Italy is their team, and there is no need to avoid anyone.

Therefore, the second group, they may meet the other seven groups in addition to the first group Barcelona, ​​including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid.

Take a look at the top names of these groups, all of which are famous giants in European football, Sampdoria is no matter how hard it is.

Now let’s look at how good it would be if Sampdoria finally got the group first.

However, this question is meaningless. At that time, Sampdoria had to make every effort to qualify for the group, and what did he use to compete with Barcelona for the first place?

The final draw of the Champions League quarter-finals came out.

Sampdoria drew the first group of Atletico Madrid in Group G.

This result is not good or bad, at least better than meeting teams such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but Atletico Madrid is also very strong.

The team led by Simone is extremely combative. Five wins and one draw in the group stage, with an undefeated record accumulating 16 points in the group first.

Speaking of the schedule, Sampdoria is not the best player after the host.

Of course, these are minor details. In the case where the strength of the two teams is close, it is still meaningful to say that the host is the second guest. The strength of the two teams is very different now, and there is no basis for discussing such details.

However, after the lottery results came out, Simone was interviewed on behalf of Atletico Madrid, but he was very cautious: "No, this is not a good sign."

His answer was to the reporter who asked him if he picked Sampdoria as a good sign.

Then he continued: "I am afraid that the other teams in the same group as Sampdoria were the same as you, but everyone knows what the end result is. I don't think Sampdoria is a good team to deal with. , They are from Serie A, they are the third place last season, and they have a golden boot shooter who broke the Serie A historical record. Whoever underestimates such an opponent will be unlucky... Of course, I am not saying With Barcelona being tied away, I am no longer talking about the Celtics and Ajax. Don't get me wrong..." Simone quickly explained when she saw a "I understand" smile from the reporters.

But his explanation will naturally be ignored.

"In short, we will carefully prepare for these two games. The teams that can make it to the knockout are not underdogs. To despise opponents is to insult ourselves."
