Chapter 169: I was shot while lying

The day before the game, Sampdoria's official website announced the 19-table list of the team facing Udinese, and Chu Jiang, who has joined the team, was listed.

The one who appeared on the team's goalkeeper list with Chu Jiang was Da Costa, who previously served as the substitute of Kurchi.

In this game, Kurchi, the main player of the team, did not appear on the 19*** roster. Moreover, the other players on this roster are basically dominated by some rotation players of Sampdoria in the league.

Obviously, head coach Di Carlo is preparing to hide Kurchi and let the main goalkeeper prepare for the team's next league game with peace of mind. The league is the focus of Sampdoria's preparations.

Although Di Carlo promised to give Chu Jiang a chance to play, in his mind, Kurchi is still the first choice in the league. If Chu Jiang wants to squeeze Kurchi to the bench, he must have a good enough performance in the game to have this possibility.

"Will Caesar appear?"

Before this game, when he saw Chu Jiang's name appear on the team's roster, Genoa Republic joked.

Since Chu Jiang quoted the famous quote from Emperor Caesar as his opening remark when his first public appearance, local media used this title to tease Chu Jiang.

They might just be joking, after all, Chu Jiang has only been here for three days, and it will not be a matter of time for a while. The real idea of ​​the media is that as Kurchi's substitute goalkeeper, Chu Jiang's premiere in Sampdoria may have to wait a long time before it appears.

However, when the game started, they were surprised to find that the new Chinese boy standing in front of Sampdoria!

On January 19, at Genoa's Malasi Stadium, Sampdoria was at home and welcomed the opponent in the Italian Cup quarterfinals, Udinese!

This is the first time Chu Jiang has represented his new owner after the transfer and appeared in the prestigious Malasi Stadium.

The stadium was founded in 1911 and belongs to the Genoa government. It is the co-home game between Sepdoria and Genoa, and can accommodate 36,536 fans to watch the game at the same time. This stadium is quite famous in Europe. It has hosted the 1934 and 1990 World Cups, and has also been the home court of the Italian national team many times.

This is the most famous stadium that Chujiang has visited since landing in the Apennines.

At the same time, this will be Chu Jiang's home court for a long time in the future! Here, he will complete the magical journey of conquering Marasi, conquering Genoa, and even conquering the entire Apennines!

A few hours before the game, the two teams on both sides announced the starting lineup of their teams in this game.

In this game, Serie A powerhouse Udinese sent a 442 lineup, and the eleven people played from behind were Berardi/Angela, Zapata, Koda, Cuadrado/Badu, Inle, Abdi, Pasquale/Dinatale, Denis.

Sampdoria, who is at home, also has a 442 lineup to face the challenge, with ace shooter Pacini and Manchester United star Macheda taking the lead in the front line, with the four midfielders Manini, Poly, Palonbo and Guberti, and the players on the defense include Desena, Lukini, Gastaldello and Ziegler.

Before the game, fans and media believed that Sampdoria's starting goal in this game would be Dacost. However, they were all wrong!

Head coach Di Carlo, in accordance with his pre-match promise, left this opportunity to China Chu, who had just joined the team. Da Costa appeared on the bench.

This is a bold employment!

If Chu Jiang's performance in this game cannot convince the public, Di Carlo, as the team's head coach, will undoubtedly be criticized by the media and fans. Because Chu Jiang has only been joining the team for only three days, and he has not been able to get along with the team enough, and he has never had a history of representing a high-level team before.

If Chu Jiang performs poorly, the pressure from the media and fans will make Di Carlo anxious. When Chu Jiang is allowed to play in the future, Di Carlo will be very cautious and dare not make such an attempt easily.

Therefore, for Chu Jiang, this game is only allowed to succeed and not fail!

When fate puts such pressure in front of Chu Jiang, how will he deal with it?

When the players of the two teams entered the field, the broadcast on the scene began to loudly report the names of each player. Whenever a name of a home team player was read out, the fans on the scene would give warm applause.

Especially when we read out the names of famous players like Pachini and Palonbo, the applause was the most intense.

When Italian star Macheda, who came on loan from Manchester United during the winter break, appeared, Sampdoria's fans were also reluctant to give in to the welcome applause.

Only, when the stadium broadcast the name Chu Jiang was pronounced, the applause on the stadium was sparse, just like treating the visiting players.

This is the protest by Sampdoria fans against the club's inexplicable transfer this time, and also clearly demonstrated their attitude towards Chu Jiang.

Distrust! No support!

Seeing such a scene, Di Carlo couldn't help frowning.

Chu Jiang was a little surprised, but his expression did not change much. For him, the competition was the first priority.

"Chu, don't worry. As long as you perform well, they will become your most loyal fans!"

Standing next to Chu Jiang was the team captain Palonbo. After seeing the fans' attitude towards Chu Jiang, the captain comforted him.

"Thank you. But I'm not worried about anything."

Chu Jiang smiled and calmed down.

However, the next scene made Chu Jiang frown.

In the South Stand of Sampdoria, a striking banner suddenly appeared in the stands of their most loyal fans.

"You come, you leave, you will be a loser!"

Obviously, this is a ridicule from Sampdoria fans. What they target is Chu Jiang's quote from Emperor Caesar at the signing ceremony.

After noticing this protest slogan from the fans, the footage of the big screen of the stadium immediately pointed at the Chinese goalkeeper Chu Jiang who appeared for the first time on behalf of Sampdoria.

"Haha! Mattia, look at that boy, frowning, he must be very angry, haha!"

Holding the banner, Burundit looked at the big screen of the stadium and said happily. Behind him was the man with glasses, Vargrino.

"This is certain. Not everyone can become Caesar. Since you say such arrogant words casually, you must have the awareness of being sarcastic to us." Vargno smiled lightly.

"However, we are mainly targeting the team's signing strategy. I am just a bystander to this kid."

"Danilo, type out another slogan."

Vargrino turned around and ordered the person next to him.

Not long after, another banner also floated.

"Garone, what we want is the striker, don't deal with us randomly!"

To be honest, when the fans held up the first banner, Chu Jiang didn't know what was going on.

Although his previous quote from Caesar does seem rather arrogant. However, as a young player, it is not a mistake to be a bit arrogant. For such a confident player, the home team fans not only do not blame him, but are usually more tolerant and even appreciate him.

If his words aroused the dissatisfaction of Genoa fans, then Chu Jiang could understand it. It is common to be a mortal enemy in the city, and it is unacceptable to the remarks of opponents.

However, it would be puzzling if even Sampdoria's own fans do not understand their players.

Therefore, when you see the first banner, Chu Jiang will frown.

However, when the second slogan appeared, Chu Jiang then understood what was going on.

It turns out that it is the conflict between the fans and the club itself!

Fans want a striker, and the club bought a goalkeeper, so the fans are dissatisfied with this transfer, so they dislike Chu Jiang.

Damn, I was shot even while lying down!

Chu Jiang rolled his eyes a little helplessly.

However, after understanding this, Chu Jiang's mood became much calmer.

Although Chu Jiang can perform at his level normally under the pressure of fans, no player will like to stand opposite to the fans of his team. Even a young man like Balotelli is the same.

Sure enough, after noticing the slogans in the South stands, Sampdoria Chairman Garone, who was sitting in the VIP box, frowned. Obviously, Garone was a little annoyed by his fans' actions.

After this little episode at the opening, the Italian Cup started quickly.

This is Chu Jiang’s debut in Sampdoria!

Five minutes into the game, Pazini headed the ball and the ball missed slightly. Then, Macheda broke through Udinese's defense line and shot in the near corner, and Berardi bravely blocked the ball. After the start of the game, Sampdoria, who played at home, seemed very active.

This game is also the first game after Manchester United star Macheda joined Sampdoria. During the first time, Macheda, who once made a famous goal at Manchester United, seemed very excited and his condition was also very good.

Compared with him, Chu Jiang's performance seemed much quieter.

In the first half, Udinese's players entered the game a bit slowly. Especially when their number one star Dinatale was in poor form, Udinese's offensive organization seemed a little messy.

At the same time, Chu Jiang was also working hard to adapt to Sampdoria's defensive rhythm, shouting loudly from time to time, forming good communication with his teammates.

The pace of the training match and the official match is completely different, and Chu Jiang has not played the game for almost a month. Therefore, he has to use the fastest speed to find his best form.
