The impact of using the Italian Cup as a key combat goal is that Sampdoria has to often play double matches a week when the Champions League is not needed.

For example, Sampdoria will face Genoa in the next league. After playing Genoa, it is the first round of the semifinals of the Italian Cup.

These two games are very important for Sampdoria, so they now have to face the situation of continuous high-intensity combat for three days.

This is exactly what they asked for. They could have simply given up the Italian Cup and now they can concentrate on Genoa.

But Sampdoria players don't find it difficult.

For qualified professional players, the challenge is to deal with the problem.

And for this young team, getting into trouble is better than doing nothing. Without the stimulation of the Italian Cup, their mental state at this time is completely different.

Although the game is intensive and the team is inevitably tired, the team's performance is not bad.

The league has been stable in the seventh place, the Italian Cup also reached the semifinals.

Even if they have to fight two tough battles in three days, they are confident to win.

The “Beacon Derby” with Genoa is one of the most important games of the season and can never be lost. And the first round of the semi-finals with Naples is also related to whether the team can successfully advance to the Italian Cup final.

Genoa is quite happy that Sampdoria is facing such an intensive event and is close to two important matches. Doesn't that mean they have a chance?

Since Gao Zheng played in the first team of Sampdoria, Genoa has not taken any advantage in the "Beacon Derby".

This time is the best opportunity.

Genoa had a bad start this season, but after changing the head coach, the results improved. He finished seventh when the league ranked highest. Later, it fell back and now ranks 11th in the league with 24 points. The situation of relegation is still quite good.

This "Beacon Derby" was very early and could not affect Genoa's relegation cause. However, Genoa can influence Sampdoria's Italian Cup semifinals through this pizza.

They hope to be able to hold Sampdoria in the "Beacon Derby" and let Sampdoria consume too much energy in this game, so that they will be weak against the Italian Cup semi-final against Naples.

If Sampdoria can lose the lighthouse derby and the Italian Cup semi-finals in a row, it would be better.

However, this "beacon derby" did not proceed as Genoa fans hoped.

Sampdoria, who played away, broke the deadlock in the twenty-fourth minute of the game.

It was Gao Zheng who scored for the team.

The leading Sampdoria then contracted and hit their defensive counterattack.

Facing Genoa's constant offensive, Sampdoria seemed to be at ease, as if there was no pressure.

It has to be said that Sampdoria, who has participated in the Champions League and scored the knockout in the Champions League and eliminated Roma and Juventus in the Italian Cup all the way to the semifinals, is not the same as it is today. The relegation team can be compared.

Although it is a "beacon derby", the strength of the two teams is quite different, which makes the game wonderful.

In the end, Sampdoria defeated Genoa 1-0 on the away ball by Gao Zheng.

With more than ten minutes left in the game, Di Francisco began to make substitutions in preparation for the next semifinal of the Italian Cup with Naples.

This approach seems to have completely ignored Genoa.

However, in the face of Sampdoria's arrogant adjustment, Genoa was powerless. Obviously, only one goal was missed, and he could not enter.

They couldn't put all their energy into the offense, because Di Francisco replaced them with three people, but he didn't change Gao Zheng.

With Gao Zheng on the court, even if he couldn't get a few requests, Genoa would not dare to overwhelm the power.

Eventually Gao Zheng's repression made Genoa's offensive return unsuccessful, and they could only suffocately accept the result.

Not only did they not defeat Sampdoria in the last "Beacon Derby" of the season, they also did not use this city derby to consume Sampdoria more energy-at the end of the game, anyone can see , Sampdoria still has spare power.

This is what makes Genoa fans uncomfortable more than losing the game-we are all so desperate, but you have sent us off so lightly, what is the system? !

But no matter how unhappy Genoa fans are, they can only accept this result now, watching Sampdoria wave, without taking away a cloud, and turn to play the Italian Cup semi-finals with Naples.

Sampdoria in the semifinal of the Italian Cup is the first to come first and the second is the main one. After all, whoever plays at home later has more initiative. In the two rounds, it is difficult to finish the game in the first round.

If Sampdoria didn't get a good result in the first round, and went to Napoli's home court in the second round, he would be less aggressive.

And the Cup hit this point, in any case, there is no situation where the opponent does not take them in their eyes, not the Italian Cup.

So it is impossible to meet the lineups of Rome and Juventus.

Moreover, judging from the performance of Sampdoria Lienke Juventus and Rome, the top two leagues, the third Naples in the league did not dare to be negligent.

From the beginning of this semi-final, Sampdoria is facing a tough game, no chance of speculation.

Many analysts before the game also believed that although Sampdoria performed well in the Italian Cup, their trip to the Italian Cup should stop here.

Although Naples will participate in the UEFA Cup in the second half of the season, there is no conflict in the schedule. After all, the UEFA Cup starts later than the Champions League...

Sampdoria and Naples have played in the league once this season. Just in January, Sampdoria lost to Naples 0:2 away.

This is one of the reasons why everyone is not optimistic about Sampdoria.

Sampdoria, who comes first and plays second, will become difficult to play in the second round unless he can win three goals at home.

On February 4, 2014, the Italian Cup semi-finals played first, Udinese beat Florence 2:1 at home.

Despite winning the game, everyone still generally dislikes Udinese. They have the same problem as Sampdoria.

He won only one goal at home, and Florence also scored an away goal on the road.

In this type of game where the advantage of scoring away goals is calculated, the 2:1 score is almost equal to the loss of Udinese.

This game of Udinese is like giving Napoli a bad head, with ominous signs.

Gao Zheng expressed his opinion on the impact of this schedule in an interview before the game: "I don't think there is any difference between the first guest and the second guest and the first guest and the second guest. Because whether it is a game or two games, we only pursue victory. Whether it is away or home, winning can ensure that we can advance to the finals, so there is no difference, as long as we win."

He shrugged.

"That's right, but it's not easy to win..." A reporter reminded him.

"Of course it is not easy. How can there be a game that can be easily won in this world?" Gao Zheng asked the reporter dumbly. "But we can't give up because it is difficult to win. We respect Naples very much, so we will go all out to win."
