Sampdoria ended up drawing 1-1 away at Parma thanks to Mauro Icardi's goal, and although they were not able to achieve two wins in a row, it was good to be able to take a point away from home considering the game itself.

Parma boss Roberto Donadoni was unhappy with the result, at least and said in his post-match press conference that Parma deserved the victory.

It's true, playing more than 60 minutes with one more person than the opponent, and finally not winning at home, no one will be satisfied.

Di Francesco was also dissatisfied, believing that Romero should not have been given a red card, that the red card was too harsh for Sampdoria, and that if Romero had not been a red card, Sampdoria might have won the game away from home.

After the game, Maxi López invited the two to his home for a barbecue dinner to celebrate Icardi's first league goal and console Romero, who was sent off for a red card.

This time Icardi agreed without any hesitation.

He spent another wonderful night at Maxi López's home with four fellow Argentinians.

The next day, the smiles on Icardi's face could be seen by his team-mates.

Gao Zheng looked at it and said to Marcy: "You see Mauro's mood has improved a lot, and sure enough, scoring goals is a cure for all diseases!" ”

Marcy also admitted that Gao Zheng was right.

It was thought that Icardi's good mood had something to do with his goal against Parma.

Mauro Icardi, who scored, also came off the bench against Cagliari in the next round, but he couldn't find the back of the net this time. Sampdoria beat Cagliari 1-0 at home and the goal had nothing to do with Icardi.

Sampdoria will next visit the Meazza Stadium to challenge Inter Milan.

Meazza and San Siro are actually the same stadium, but because the supporters of the two teams insist on different footwork, they have two names, but in fact the official name of this stadium is Meazza Stadium, Meazza is a legend of Inter Milan, but AC Milan fans are not happy to use this name, they still insist on using San Siro.

Gao Zheng stepped on the pitch again, but this time he couldn't help Sampdoria beat Inter Milan.

He had one goal and one assist in the game, and in the post-match media ratings, he was the top scorer in the Sampdoria team.

However, Sampdoria still lost 2-3 away to Inter Milan.

This kind of performance makes AC Milan fans complain a lot - playing us, you are like playing chicken blood, how can you play Inter Milan, you don't have a lot of power?

In fact, if you watch the whole process of this game, you will find that the whole Sampdoria team has worked hard.

The game was very fierce, and people turned on their backs. Sampdoria left-back Andre Costa was sent off in the 51st minute after receiving a yellow card, and Sampdoria were almost 11 out of 10 in the second half.

Because of the fear that Gao Zheng would be injured, Di Francesco had to replace Gao Zheng in advance in the 78th minute, and it was Icardi who replaced Gao Zheng.

In fact, at the beginning of the game, Sampdoria played well, Gao Zheng helped Sampdoria take the lead in the 20th minute, which was also his tenth league goal of the season, far ahead of the rest of the scorer list.

However, Inter Milan then chased three goals in a row. It wasn't until the 71st minute that Samp pulled a goal back with an assist from Maxi Lopes on the back of Gao Zheng.

Then the game became more and more intense, because there was only a one-goal difference, the lead was not safe, and the backward side saw hope.

Some of the penalties on the pitch also caused dissatisfaction among the players on both sides.

In the 83rd minute, the referee even stopped the game, rushed to the Sampdoria bench, and sent substitute goalkeeper Bernie off the field because he kept chattering and scolding the referee for the unfairness of the decision.

In the end, Icardi could not save the team, and Sampdoria suffered a 3-2 defeat at Inter Milan.

After the defeat to Inter Milan and the sending off of two others, Sampdoria seemed to be devastated by the loss.

Sampdoria lost the next two games against Atalanta and Palermo. And they also lost Maxi Lopes during this period, the Argentine striker suffered a serious injury in training and is tentatively expected to miss two months......

For Sampdoria, it was a leak that happened to rain overnight.

After 12 league games, Sampdoria has 17 points and has slipped to eighth.

However, judging from the club's goals at the beginning of the season, this result can still be considered good. After all, a team aiming for relegation, and a team that has not made heavy additions in the summer transfer period, can be ranked in the middle of the table is already a very good performance.

However, the goal is always changing, and after seeing Sampdoria's three-game winning streak in the league, everyone naturally has higher requirements for this team, hoping that their goal can be more than just relegation.

Against this backdrop, a three-game losing streak looks a bit ugly.

It was understandable to lose away to Inter Milan with one man down, but the subsequent back-to-back defeats to Atalanta and Palermo drew criticism from the team.

During this time, the pressure on Di Francisco was also high, and there were even rumors that the club was looking for a successor for Di Francisco.

Although it was quickly denied by the club, since there are such rumors, it shows that there is a soil and foundation for spreading such rumors.

After all, it is not once or twice that the top management of the Sampdoria club is unreliable.

There are also rumours that the next round of the Lighthouse derby against Genoa will be a hurdle, and if Sampdoria loses again, Di Francisco's position may be really lost......

Of course, such rumours were also quickly denied by both Sampdoria and Di Francesco himself.

There is no such thing.

※※※

These rumours seem to be a warm-up for the Lighthouse Derby.

After Sampdoria were relegated to the second division, Genoa had not played a derby for a whole year.

This season, with Sampdoria back in the First Division, Italy's famous "Lighthouse Derby" can finally be continued once again.

This year's edition is the 87th "Lighthouse Derby" – a number that counts all official matches, including Serie A, Serie B and Coppa Italia. In the 86 derbies that have ended, Sampdoria have the upper hand, winning 31, losing 22 and drawing 33.

If you only count Serie A, the Lighthouse derby has played a total of 58 games, and Sampdoria still have the upper hand, winning the second market, losing 14 and drawing 24 constants.

If you only look at this result, it seems that Sampdoria is the stronger in the city of Genoa. But in fact, Genoa's glorious history predates the birth of Sampdoria, and when Genoa won nine league titles, Sampdoria was not yet born.

So when Genoa was strong, there was no "lighthouse derby". And when Sampdoria was born, Genoa's golden age had also passed, so it was reflected in the derby results, that is, Sampdoria had the advantage.

In fact, during the period when it had Mancini and Gullit, Sampdoria had an absolute dominance in the "lighthouse derby", and from 1982 to 1994, Sampdoria only lost one of the fifteen "lighthouse derby" in Serie A.

It was also the time when Sampdoria was at its most glorious, and they were known as the "Seven Sisters of Serie A" along with Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Parma, Napoli, Sampdoria and Fiorentina. It was also the most glorious time of Serie A, because of the star-studded gathering, fierce competition, and exciting games, known as the "Little World Cup".

And when the time entered the new millennium, Sampdoria fell into decline, and the two teams were able to appear in Serie A at the same time. The first Serie A "lighthouse derby" of the new century was not until September 23, 2007.

Since then, Sampdoria and Genoa have met eight times in Serie A, with Sampdoria winning just twice, drawing once and losing all five of their other matches.

In particular, in the two games of the 2010-2011 season, Sampdoria was beaten twice by Genoa. In the second "Lighthouse Derby", Sampdoria lost 1:2 to Genoa away and relegated to the second division became a foregone conclusion. Genoa sent their sworn enemies to hell with their own hands, giving Genoa fans a cool summer.

Now, with Sampdoria promoted, the feud between the two teams in the city will continue.

This time, Sampdoria are clearly approaching the Lighthouse Derby with a vengeance, remembering who pushed them down a season ago.
