Although they know that Sampdoria is not weak, they still have full confidence in Tong Yi.
The current Tong Yi is Tong Sheng in their hearts!
How could Tong Sheng lose?
At the beginning of the game, Sampdoria lined up a 4312 formation. From this formation, we could see that Giampaolo still had some ideas. He also wanted to use counterattacks to break AC Milan's goal. He was still behind.
The field was hoarded with more people.
When counterattacking, it is obvious that more use is made of the attacking midfielder and the two forwards.
However, it is obvious that AC Milan will not easily give them a chance to counterattack. AC Milan launched a high pressure from the beginning, which suppressed Sampdoria's formation. At the same time, the front line, midfield and backcourt
It is also a bit out of touch, which makes Giampaolo a little worried.
Although he had such a prediction before the game, the state of the scene was worse than he expected.
In the 17th minute of the first half, AC Milan, which used high pressure from all fronts, broke through the goal of the home team Sampdoria.
Under high pressure in the frontcourt, Sampdoria's Swedish international Ekdal made a pass error and was directly intercepted by Brandt. Brandt immediately pushed the football forward and hit the penalty area line.
Haaland directly pulled the ball and turned around, facing Sampdoria's goal, and then without any delay he shot low.
The football stuck to the turf and rolled into the lower right corner of the goal!
Audro fell to the ground very quickly in front of the goal, but still did not touch the football!
One to zero, AC Milan took the lead.
After AC Milan took the lead, Sampdoria had no more options. They had no choice but to attack.
After all, the Italian Cup is a single elimination system. If they lose this game, they will have no chance at all. Although Sampdoria is not determined to win this game, they will not take it easy.
Give up!
They don't value the result of this game, they value the process!
This makes their mentality very relaxed.
At this time, after the attack, they performed more freely and became even better.
This also created a lot of trouble for AC Milan.
At this time, Saponara's precise through ball was inserted into the feet of Cugliarella who was advancing forward. The ball was passed very well and was sent to a position where AC Milan's defense was weak. This
This made the Sampdoria fans very excited and roared loudly.

Unfortunately, Quagliarella's volley was deflected by Courtois in front of the goal.
Quagliarea felt very sad and held his head in his hands, feeling extremely regretful!

column.
This also shows that Sampdoria is indeed capable. No wonder they are currently ranked seventh in Serie A.
Tong Yi also reminded the AC Milan players to defend and be cautious and not to give Sampdoria another chance like this.
At this time, Sampdoria's players were playing more and more relaxed, playing more and more lively, and they were also playing more and more threats.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Sampdoria launched a long pass directly from the backcourt, and the football flew towards the frontcourt. Dias succeeded when he competed with Quagliarella for a header.
He pushed the football out. But the football flew to Saponara's feet, and he pushed the football directly into the space behind Diaz.
Former Inter Milan striker Caprari quickly crossed into the space and chased the ball.
Danger, this is very dangerous.
Seeing that Caprari was about to run and kick a shot, Romagnoli from the side immediately boldly slid over and tackled the football fiercely in the penalty area. Roseneri at the scene was also horrified when he saw this.
I am endlessly worried. If I make a foul here, it will be a big hit!
With a bang, Romagnoli scooped up the football and shoveled it out of the bottom line first.
What a risk, Roseneri at the scene immediately gave Romagnoli applause!
Romagnoli is so brave. If the ball fails, he will be given a penalty kick.
Corner kick, Sampdoria got another chance for a corner kick.
The Sampdoria fans at home shouted loudly to cheer for the team, and in the midst of the cheers, the Sampdoria passed the ball into the AC Milan penalty area. In the penalty area, Akanji Gao
He jumped up high and pushed the football away.
However, the football hit the arm of Joan Armene who was one step inside the penalty area, and the referee directly awarded a penalty kick!
Joan Armene was very angry and innocent. He told the referee that the opponent's Ekdahl reached out and lifted his arm.
This ball was not handballed by Joan Armene on his own initiative, it was passive!
And this goal was intentional by Sampdoria.
This goal shouldn't be a penalty!
However, the referee still insisted on his decision and gave Sampdoria a bump ball.

The bombardment directly blasted the football into the upper right corner of the goal. Courtois had no chance at all with this ball, because the angle was too tight.
At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at one to one!
To be honest, the Roseneris did not expect that this game would be so intense. The performance of Sampdoria was indeed beyond their expectations. They were even a little worried, feeling that this game would be so fierce for them.
It is very likely that they will lose. However, they are still cheering for the team and hope that the team can win this game.
Soon the second half of the game between the two sides began!
At the beginning of the second half, AC Milan launched a very threatening attack.
After midfielders Goretzka and Brandt cooperated continuously, Goretzka pretended to pass the ball, but he broke through with the ball and entered Sampdoria's penalty area. This surprised many people. Everyone also thought that Goretzka broke through with the ball and entered Sampdoria's penalty area.
Tsika had to pass the ball or shoot from a long distance. It is rare to see him breaking through the opponent's penalty area with the ball!
Sampdoria immediately panicked, and at this moment Goretzka shot directly with his legs and volleyed the football towards Sampdoria's goal!
Audro immediately fell to the ground in front of the goal, but unfortunately he still didn't touch the football! .??.
With a clang, the football hit the outside of the near post hard, and then bounced off the baseline. Sampdoria escaped!
Everyone at the scene felt very sorry for Rosen, as this was an excellent opportunity!
Goretzka also held his head in his hands, expressing great regret.
However, this goal gave the AC Milan players more confidence. They felt that winning this game was only a matter of time!
At this time, Giampaolo directly replaced Linetti with English teenager Ronaldo Vieira, which seemed to strengthen the forward impact of the midfield.
This substitution still had some effect. Shortly after Vieira came on the field, he fired a heavy long-range shot from the front of the penalty area. The football shot out quickly, slightly higher than the crossbar, which still caused damage to AC Milan's goal.
It was a very big threat. But fortunately, there was no goal!
This allowed Sampdoria to strengthen their determination to attack.
Sampdoria immediately pressed forward and prepared to fight AC Milan to the death.
At this moment, Joan Armene directly cut off the football from Saponara's feet, and the football rolled to the feet of Goretzka. Goretzka immediately hit a long-distance through ball, and in
Before Sampdoria's defensive players settled into their defensive positions, they had already sent the football to a dangerous position!
This is why Tong Yi emphasized the need to seize the opportunity to switch between offense and defense, create a time difference, and not give the opponent's defensive players a chance to position themselves.
This ball perfectly reflects this!
When Lautaro received the ball, the defensive players in front of him were in a chaotic position, and there were also huge crowds around him.

This is a good opportunity, an excellent opportunity!
The Sampdoria fans at the scene became desperate and screamed in horror.
Sampdoria's defensive players immediately rushed towards Lautaro and intercepted Lautaro.
And at this moment, Lautaro immediately swung his legs and pretended to shoot. After attracting the attention of the defense, he directly knocked the football covertly and passed the football to his strike partner Haaland!
Haaland stopped the ball with his left foot and swiped the ball with his right foot. With a bang, the ball immediately shot toward Sampdoria's goal like a cannonball.
The speed of this ball is very fast, like a sharp arrow coming off the string.
The goalkeeper Audro reacted quickly in front of the goal, but when he jumped out from the side, he only touched the football with his fingertips, but the football still quickly rushed into the goal behind him.
Two to one, AC Milan once again exceeded the score.
Seeing this, Giampaolo shook his head slightly. AC Milan was in good shape in this game. Sampdoria might not have many opportunities. However, they did not give up. He still signaled the team to strengthen their attack.
Sampdoria immediately pressed forward crazily, even trying to give it a try.
Their backcourt is a bit empty, which is a hidden danger.
During this period, Sampdoria's offense, which was pressing all the way, did produce something, and it also threatened AC Milan's goal. However, it did not score a goal. Instead, it made Sampdoria's defense get worse and worse.
Come on!
This looks very dangerous, and AC Milan is a team that is very good at seizing the gap between offense and defense to score goals. So at this time, Sampdoria is very dangerous, and the fans are also very worried.
