Bow and thank gentle and firm classmates for their rewards!

On August 14, the Premier League officially started, with 20 teams fighting each other, including the opponent Sampdoria will meet in the Europa League, Stoke City on the Trent River in England.
At Stoke City's home court, Britannia Stadium, the potters, with the cheering of more than 200 million home fans, forced the powerful Premier League giant Chelsea to compete with the powerful Premier League giant Chelsea with a score of 0:0, and performed well in a competitive state.
After the game, Boas, a famous coach who coached Chelsea for the first time, publicly complained: "They pushed and pulled too many times in the penalty area, and they did everything they could. I wanted to attract the referee's attention. The referee told me that he would stare at them, but I think he still needs some extra support."
Obviously, Boas believed that Stoke City's physical collisions and fouls were too many, which affected their team's performance, resulting in Chelsea not having a good start.
In fact, the fight is active, the defensive movements are relatively large, and the emphasis is on physical confrontation, and even the large-scale shoveling is used to exert greater physical and mental pressure on opponents. This is the game characteristics of the Stoke City team.
In the words of the English media, it is the "body flow" kicking method.
Arsenal's coach Wenger must have a deep understanding of this.
Because of his favorite player, the young genius Ramsey, was tackled by opponent's defender Ryan Shockles in the game against Stoke City and had to lie on the hospital bed for more than half a year.
That scene was really cruel...
Later, Wenger even publicly complained that Stoke City turned the football game into a football game, pointing the opponent's "body flow" football.
A statistics also confirm the coach's point of view.
In the 2010-11 season, Stoke City ranked 18th in the Premier League fair competition, ranking third from the bottom in the entire league.
Of course, Stoke City can also defend itself, because they are not the last one after all.
Football is sometimes a high-risk sport...
In the game against Chelsea, Stoke City's left-back Etherington suffered an arm injury.
After the game, it was rumored that the main left-back of Stoke City would miss the Europa League with Sampdoria. However, on August 18, Etherington's name was still on the list of teams announced on Stoke City's official website.
The World Youth Championship in Colombia ended the semi-finals on the same day Stoke arrived in Genoa.
The Brazilian team where Coutinho was located eliminated Mexico with two goals from Henrik in the last moment and met Portugal in the final. After 20 years, the two traditional powerhouses in the world football world once again met in the final of the World Youth Championship.
This means that only after the World Youth Championship final is over, that is, on August 21, Coutinho will return to Sampdoria and make a round with his new teammates.
In other words, Sampdoria and Stoke City still did not have anything to do with this Brazilian young player in the first leg.
On the evening of August 18, the traditional Italian Telecom (TIM) Cup Triangle Tournament participated by three top Italian giants AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus also came to an end.
In the end, Inter Milan defeated Juventus at a penalty and relied on Milito's goal to beat Milan and won the championship. Juventus ranked second and Milan ranked last.
After Leonardo "defected" Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan's new coach Gasperini got a good start.
However, the winner of the TIM Cup Triangle Tournament is known as an unknown.
Because most teams that win this event will encounter great difficulties in the subsequent leagues.
I wonder if Gasperini will feel cold in his neck while winning the Triangle Championship.
You know, in the subsequent leagues, he is the first coach among the traditional top three who will encounter a tragedy of dismissal.
On August 19, on Chujiang's 18th birthday, Sampdoria welcomed Premier League team Stoke City at his home court.
In this game, Sampdoria announced the big roster before the game, which was similar to the lineup he had when he faced AC Milan. However, in the main lineup, Tisone, who was in better shape, replaced Desena and won the starting position.
In the evening, when the first leg of the Europa League play-off officially began, Sampdoria's fans were surprised to find that Chu Jiang put on the team's captain's armband instead of the old captain Palonbo.
Today is Chu Jiang’s birthday. The team specially used this method to express the club’s celebration of Chu Jiang’s birthday.
Before the game officially started, an interesting little behind-the-scenes happened.
After the two players lined up to enter the field, the stadium broadcast of the Malasi Stadium played a classic birthday celebration song "happy_birthday_to_you".
At this time, the Sampdoria fans at the scene also held up a large movie poster of 20 meters long and 10 meters wide in the South Stand.
This poster is made of the promotional poster of the movie Harry Potter series, and the protagonist Harry Potter was replaced with Chu Jiang's appearance, and the castle floating in the air was also replaced with two championship trophys.
In the most conspicuous position of the poster, fans wrote in extremely artistic expressive words, "Harry Chu and Champion Samp"!
It looks like a promotional poster for the latest Harry Hart series.
The fans are really talented!
In the minds of Sampdoria fans, Chu Jiang is like Harry, a magician in the Harry Potter series, with endless magic and can win one championship after another for Sampdoria.
Below this poster, Sampdoria fans also wrote in Italian, "Happy birthday to you, Chu!"
With the music broadcast on the stadium, more than 35,000 fans sang birthday songs in unison to celebrate the birthday of the team's star player Chu Jiang.
Chu Jiang won the championship in two consecutive events for Sampdoria, and after 20 years, Genoa City was once again bathed in the glory of the championship. Sampdoria fans also used this method to express their most sincere blessings and respects to the young Chinese goalkeeper and the team's winning core.
This scene happened at Malasi Stadium, very warm! Even the visiting players from the visiting team expressed their birthday congratulations to Chu Jiang enviously.
On August 19, Chu Jiang spent his most unforgettable birthday in his life at the Malasi Stadium.
The best way to repay the love of fans is to lead the team to win.
Chu Jiang proved with his actions that as long as he is here, the most unabridgeable thing Sampdoria fans are the joy of victory!
In today's game, Stoke City's formation was 442, with the eleven starting players being Sorensen; Hutter, Shocross, Upson, Wilson; Pew, Whitehead, Tonger, Etherington; Jones, Walters.
At the beginning of the game, Stoke City once used their rushing impact and fierce body flow tactics to gain control of the game first.
However, under the command of captain Chu Jiang, Sampdoria's players quickly gained a foothold and defended without any leakage.
After Chujiang blocked Jones and Walters' two consecutive shots, Stoke City's offensive was effectively curbed.
As the 19th minute of the game went, Stoke City won the best scoring opportunity in the game.
At that time, their right forward Danny Pew got a chance to go to the meeting alone.
However, in the direct battle with Chu Jiang, Pew quickly lost. His shot was confiscated by Chu Jiang who was in time, and his teammates did not even get a chance to make a follow-up shot.
Chu Jiang's wonderful save immediately won warm applause from home fans.
Afterwards, Stoke City paid a heavy price for their body flow play.
In the 36th minute of the game, Sampdoria launched a quick counterattack, and Klose was kicked down by Hut at the front of the opponent's penalty area.
Free kick.
Chujiang achieved it overnight!
1:0!
Sampdoria got the advantage of one goal leading cleanly.
As the first half approached, Biabiani was tackled by Upson when he broke through.
The second free kick.
Chu Jiang achieved it again!
2:0!
Two free kicks at the front of the penalty area are equal to two goals!
Chu Jiang told the English people with his actions that as long as you dare to give, I will dare to enter; as much as I give, I will enter!
Stoke City was completely depressed, and their bodies were flowing and football had encountered natural enemies.
Don’t you like to use fierce shovels to steal the attack against your opponent?
If you have the ability, you will not be fouled!
We must ensure the fierceness of the defense, and at the same time we must not foul. Unless they bribe the referee, this is absolutely impossible.
However, as long as you make a foul at the front of the penalty area, Chu Jiang will score one goal after another, giving their defensive confidence a fatal blow!
After Chu Jiang scored two goals in a row, the Stoke City players suddenly became dumbfounded and didn't know whether to continue their previous playing style when defending.
If you continue to have the old routine, you will have to foul and watch Chu Jiang continue to score.
They don’t need to have a flow, and they won’t be able to do anything else!
Not only were their defense frustrated, but even their accustomed attack routines became difficult to use when facing Chu Jiang's defense.
Their rushing and playing style is to face Chu Jiang, who has a strong control in the penalty area, which is one return pass after another.
The cross on the left is the return of the left; the cross on the right is the return of the right; what about the cross on the 45 degree? That is the return of the 45 degree!
The people of Stoke City were helpless.
Nemesis, nemesis!
What is a natural nemesis? They have experienced it today.
