Prominence in Football Community

"...Barcelona is a very strong team with superstars gathered. I know the game will be difficult, but we will still go all out."

The video of Sampdoria's post-match press conference against Livorno appeared on TV, and then the picture was switched back to the studio.

The host said with a playful smile: "I don't know why, I always feel that Di Francesco said this with a defiant expression... In fact, everyone knows what the result of this game is, although it is at home. Fight, but no one expects Sampdoria to beat Barcelona at home... so far, Barcelona has won two games in a row and remained undefeated. The group's qualifying is not a question they should consider at all, they should consider winning the championship... …"

Although this is an Italian TV program, the host does not mean to speak for Sampdoria at all, but tells the truth.

It may sound sad for Sampdoria fans, but this is the truth.

Now in the entire Italian football world, perhaps only the top three in the North can break the wrist with Barcelona.

But the Milan duo in the top three in the North did not participate in the Champions League at all, leaving only Juventus, and this season's performance in the Champions League is very bad.

Now Italian football is really tearful, and sad to see.

I thought AC Milan could beat Barcelona's first team led by Cruyff 4-0 in the Champions League final.

Inter Milan can also eliminate each other at Barcelona's home court, advance to the finals, and eventually achieve the great cause of the "Triple Crown".

Now Italy can only send a team like Sampdoria to compete with Barcelona, ​​without suspense they will be crushed to death, just like ants.

If the Italians understand the culture of the three countries in China, perhaps they will very much agree to describe Sampdoria as "Nobody in Shu is a pioneer".

In fact, even Sampdoria’s opponent Barcelona may not have looked at Sampdoria because they didn’t arrive in Genoa until the day before the match-if the opponent is a team like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, they It is by no means possible to arrive on the road so late. Basically, after the weekend of the league, we set off to prepare for the road, adapt to the weather and the field of the road, and allow the players to rest fully.

No one thought there was anything wrong with Barcelona's approach to Genoa the day before the game.

At the airport, Barcelona's coach Martino was interviewed by reporters.

"No game is easy to play, and no opponent is easy to deal with. We will not take it lightly."

"...I don't know how Martino endured no laugh when he said this..." The Italian TV presenter didn't know whether he was mocking himself or mocking Sampdoria. "As long as Barcelona plays normally, Sampdoria has no chance. I believe that this is the same view inside Sampdoria. It doesn't make sense to die in Barcelona. It is better to put energy into the Celtics and Ajac. In the Sis game-if they really want to qualify from this group, their competitors are these two teams, definitely not Barcelona..."

At the tactical meeting the day before the game, Di Francisco said to his team members: "Everyone has heard the voices of the outside world. There are many analyses that Barcelona is not a competitor to our qualifications, so we don't need to fight Barcelona. To be honest, these analyses are quite correct and objectively neutral. If I were not Sampdoria’s head coach, I would agree to this statement. But I am not, I am Sampdoria’s head coach, and I cannot accept this I don’t want you to accept this statement."

Speaking of which, Di Francisco stopped to observe every Sampdoria player and stared at them.

In the eye contact with him, someone looked away.

"Don't run." Di Francisco said. "Don't run. Looking at my eyes, I need to look at your eyes. I want to know what you really think inside."

He said so, every Sampdoria player bravely confronted him.

After watching a lap, Di Francisco nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I saw courage and unwillingness. This is our home court. Why should everyone feel that we lost to Barcelona at home is a normal one. One thing? I think we are weak, but in the Champions League this season, we are the best Italian team, and we are the face of Italian football! Then why can’t we just compete against Barcelona?”

"I know why so many teams have tried their best to make it into the Champions League? Is it for the Champions League prize money? That is what the club managers consider. As players, as coaches, we consider Only in the Champions League, can we meet strong teams from all over Europe, can we compete with the giants of other countries on the field, and we can know where we are in Europe. If we meet strong teams, we feel that we lose to them. So why are we here? So contrary to those outside views, I feel that we should go all out with strong teams, because such opportunities are rare. Play with the idea that we can’t win anyway. I will only feel pity, not for me, but for you."

"We have to go all out in this game, even if our strength is far from Barcelona, ​​but we still have to fight against them with the idea of ​​defeating them at home. And we have trained for more than a week for this, when the game Instead of giving up this idea, what is our contribution in training? So tomorrow's game, I hope everyone will not hesitate and concentrate on the game with the goal of defeating Barcelona."

"Why our opponent will be Sampdoria, not AC Milan, I heard that they could have won the third place last season. In this case, at least we will be in Milan today, not boring Genoa, Milan’s nightlife is so colorful..."

"Daniel."

Daniel Alves laughed quickly when he heard this and turned to Leo Messi behind him: "Don’t be nervous Leo, I just talk about it casually, I know we are here to play, Not for girls, haha!"

Messi sat down next to him, as if to watch him.

"Relax, I really won't go out, I won't go anywhere, just in the hotel. Eh, Leo, what do you think of the Chinese guy you said to the coach? Do you think he is as powerful as Martino said? "

Messi shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't played with him or watched him play."

"I heard that someone in Italy called him "Ibra of China". I heard that he is a tall and skilled player. Martino made us pay special attention to the Chinese while defending. I think he It's a bit exaggerated. Guess what I thought? Martino must be worried that we are too low on the enemy, so he'made' such a'Chinese Ibrahim' for us, hope we are all nervous..." Alvi Talking endlessly. "What do you think, Leo?"

"I don't know, but we really shouldn't belittle the enemy, Daniel." Messi shook his head.

"I know, I will not underestimate the enemy. I just have some opinions on Martino's approach. If he wants us to cheer up, he should tell us directly, instead of making up a false strong enemy, and then scare us. If During the game, we found that the Chinese was simply unbearable, which would affect our trust in the authority of the head coach."

"You really put the head coach's authority in your heart?" Messi glanced at Alves.

"What you said... I always respect our head coach."

"I thought you only respect Guardiola."

"Pep is different from other coaches. He is very special. But that doesn't mean I don't respect other coaches." Alves looked at the dark night scene outside the window and couldn't help but yawn.

"Boring nights are always so long. I really hope to win tomorrow in the blink of an eye, and I can go home after the game."

Alves wiped the tears squeezed out by the yawn and mumbled.

Messi next to him was chatting with his wife on the phone. Messi asked, "Is Tiago good?"

Then his wife sent him a picture of Tiago.

"Really good." Messi made a red heart expression.
