As Gao Zheng said, when head coach Di Francisco told the team the new goal during training, no one showed fear and flinch, but was very excited.

A team needs a clear goal, whether it is relegation or championship.

Prior to this, Sampdoria was in a very awkward position-whether it is the league or the Champions League, it is impossible to compete for the championship, but there is no worry about relegation, the team is easy to produce a passing thought.

At this time, the goal of the Italian Cup champion is very important.

This Sampdoria is dominated by young players, and the advantage of young players is that they are easily excited, full of fighting spirit and motivation. They always have a spirit of vitality, unlike those veteran oil seeds who have no interest in anything and feel that it does not matter.

Seeing everyone support their plan, Di Francisco was very happy and began to arrange tactics against Rome.

"I guess Rome will think we will give up this game. After all, we have always been the same attitude before. So they don't need to waste the physical energy and energy of the main players on a team that is unintentionally loved. This is our opportunity. Surprise them by surprise!"

The Italian Cup of Sampdoria and Rome is not a major event. Everyone now knows that the Italian Cup is a game dedicated to the training of young players and the bench. I am afraid that everyone will go all out in the semifinals.

Before this game, there was nothing to watch.

So although the Roman Olympic Stadium can accommodate 73,000 people, but only 20,000 people came to the scene of the game, the entire stadium looks sparse.

In fact, there are also a lot of 20,000 people. For example, some home games in Sampdoria are the number of people watching this game. But the Marathi Stadium can only accommodate more than 30,000 people in total, and it is still spectacular to sit in and watch 20,000 people.

The Olympic Stadium is too big, and 20,000 people sitting in can't fill the stadium at all. There are more empty seats than people, so it looks particularly empty and deserted.

Before the game, media analysis believed that Sampdoria would give up this game. Before the Italian Cup, Sampdoria all performed very well. The full substitute plus the starting lineup composed of members of the youth team, what does this mean, fools guess come out.

However, perhaps the previous opponents were not strong enough, so Sampdoria actually used this lineup to kill the top 16 all the way.

In fact, Sampdoria is also very embarrassed-they want to give up the Italian Cup, never want to add another front when the Champions League and the league are going on at the same time...

As their opponent, although Rome is also playing the training abacus to play the Italian Cup, it does not mean that they must want to give up the Italian Cup. Now it is time for them to end Sampdoria's suffering and help them relieve their burden.

The media in Rome felt that this was a satisfactory result for both parties.

So when Sampdoria announced the starting lineup two hours before the start of the game, no one expected it and was taken aback.

Sampdoria turned out to be the main force!

Isn't it okay to use the bench lineup and youth team players?

Didn't you say you want to give up this tasteless game?

Gao Zheng is now starting, is this meant to give up? !

What a joke!

In the dressing room in Rome, Roma coach Rudy Garcia was also surprised to see the starting list.

Then there was deep doubt, and he wondered why Di Francisco had reason to do so.

Does he still think that his team plays not enough matches?

With Sampdoria, a team that basically relies on a set of lineups, it is simply not to expect any multi-line combat to go hand in hand.

The league is the foundation of the team's safety and security. Anything that the league does not play well is worthless.

The Champions League is related to the financial revenue of the team. The better the Champions League results, the more bonuses, which is a huge sum for many clubs.

But what is the appeal of the Italian Cup?

Is it possible that Sampdoria wants to pursue the Italian Cup?

This thought flashed through Rudy Garcia's mind, and was subsequently rejected by him-impossible, impossible, Sampdoria has no such ability, and should not have such ambition, they still Very pragmatic.

Garcia realized that it was not time to delve into why Sampdoria did this. The most important thing was how to deal with Sampdoria who played the full force.

After Rudy Garcia coached Rome this season, he played only one game with Sampdoria-the fifth round of the league, Sampdoria vs. Roma at home.

But in that game, Di Francisco did not start the main players, but adopted the strategy of most bench players starting.

In the final game, Sampdoria lost to Roma 0:2 at home without suspense.

Became the fifth victim of Rome's ten-game winning streak.

This is Rudy Garcia's most intuitive impression of this Sampdoria, the only contact.

Sadly, this is the only time Sampdoria is not in the strongest lineup, so Garcia does not know what level Sampdoria is.

In this game, Rudy Garcia, with the idea of ​​training, has rotated the team's starting lineup, and many of the main players are not in the starting lineup.

At this time, no temporary adjustment is possible-he can't always take the substitute players who could have played the game from the starting lineup, right? Then his coaching foundation in this team will be greatly shaken.

So regardless of Sampdoria's side, he can only use this lineup to play against.

Now he can only hope that Sampdoria, who is fully engaged, will not be too powerful.

Think about the last league, did they lose to Naples 0:2 on the road?

※※※

After the game started, although the lineup was rotated, and Sampdoria's starting lineup was caught off guard. But Roma still used their home advantage to make their best offense playable.

In the sixth minute, Rome had a great chance. If Romero did not perform well, their right-back Torossidis would have to take the lead for the team.

The regretful sighs of the Roma fans rang in the Olympic Stadium.

Rudy Garcia was also very sorry on the sidelines, but he quickly conveyed his encouragement and appreciation to the team with applause.

Judging from these few minutes of competition, Sampdoria seems to be no different than when it was encountered in the league.

This reassured Garcia.

Rome at home still took the initiative.

As long as I can dominate and insist on my own rhythm and style, Garcia feels that with the strength of Rome, even if it is a rotation, defeating Sampdoria should not be a problem.

Since the beginning of the game, he hasn't sat down and paced anxiously on the sidelines.

Now he can finally return to the coach seat, sit down and drink, and take a good rest.
