The second-placed Champions League is down to Serie A, this time-honored Serie A brand has fallen

One Serie A championship, four Italian Cup champions, once European Cup winners champion, and once Champions League runner-up... Sampdoria's honor is not short of hardcore championships, but if they want to return to the familiar Serie A and Champions League stages, they don't know how many years they have to wait.

40 million is useless. The coach of Serie C

is Pirlo, with famous players such as Nian, Koda and Borini in the team. The team's value is close to 40 million euros. In the preparation stage before this season, Sampdoria was considered a favorite to advance to the A-level in the Serie B field, but what happened later was shocking.

Almost from the first round of the season, Sampdoria fell into all-round chaos. The coach's various tactics were not effective, and the players' physical and mental states were very bad. According to incomplete statistics, Sampdoria's starting goalkeeper this season has replaced five players, and 10 players have worn captain's armbands on the court. After Pirlo was dismissed, Sotil, Semplic and Evani were helpless against the chaos. Sampdoria has only won two games since losing to South Tyrol away on February 15. She was eventually suppressed by Frosinone and Sarenitana, and was relegated to Serie C together with Chitadera and Cosenza, and appeared in the third-level league for the first time in history.

The big event in a small city, and the next year, the battle is a luxury for a small city with a population of only 600,000. When Genoa relied on the operating methods of his masters to settle in the middle of Serie A, Sampdoria fell to the lowest point in a century-old team history.

Although Genoa City's "basic board" is not large, there are nearly 40,000 fans who hold season tickets to watch the two teams every weekend. It is only a matter of time before the low-level arena can't accommodate such big fish. It's only a matter of time before the Serie A arena ushers in the "Beacon Derby".
