Club introduction:

Genoa, located in the Ligurian Sea, is a natural seaport. The city faces the sea and backs on the mountains. From the map, the old part of the city is like a big shell with a sharp top and a wide bottom, which develops along the coast to both sides and the city becomes thin and long. Genoa, Cannes and Nice in France are on the same coastline, only100km apart, but their urban styles are quite different. The stone buildings here are magnificent and quaint, and the tall columns in front of the building are also extraordinary.

Genoa is the hometown of Columbus, the navigator, and the largest port of heavy industry in Italy. There are countless ships coming in and out from here every day. Genoa is one of the most important cities in Italy from the perspective of industry and history and culture. Genoa is also one of the most important football cities in Italy, which can completely rival Turin and Milan. Genoa, one of the city football teams, participated in the first Italian football league, which was at 1893. At that time, AC Milan, Juventus and other teams had not yet been established, and the Italian Football Association was far from it. From this perspective, Genoa can be called the pioneer of Italian football, which is not too much. Genoa also has a famous football club. In recent decades, it has created a more brilliant record than Genoa, namely Sampdoria. If you visit Genoa's football and turn a blind eye to Sampdoria, it's just like you have studied the history of Argentine football and don't know who Diego Diego Maradona is.

August 1946, 12 Two local football clubs, Genoa and Andrea Doria, merged to form Sampdoria Football Club (U.C. Sampdoria), after which Sampdoria Renesse participated in Serie A three times. 1904 On June 3rd, in Florence, Andrea Doria only won the second place in the national championship of the Italian Gymnastics Association. Andrea Doria lost 2-3 to immature AC Milan. (See page 84 of AC Milan Magazine 2004.7 for details)

After the team was founded, it set up its own home court in Luigi Ferraris-a professional football field built in 1928. At first, the stadium could accommodate 75,000 people, but considering the local actual needs and hosting the Italy 1990 World Cup, it was transformed and now it can accommodate 40 122 people.

Sampdoria, as its name implies, is the sum of the names of the two clubs, and it has no special meaning in itself. Of course, the word Sampdoria now stands for honor and happiness in Genoese hearts.

grow up

1September, 946, New Sampdoria ushered in its first Serie A match-away game against Rome, although the team lost by 1: 3. But this is historic for this new team. Andre was lucky enough to score the first Serie A goal in Sampdoria's history. After that, everything in the team began to get on track. In 1948- 1949, the team won the fifth place, and in 1949, Giuseppe Stefano BALDINI became the first member of the national team in Sampdoria's history. His first appearance for Italy was in a friendly match between Italy and Portugal. This is also the first appearance of Sampdoria players on the international stage. In the 1960s, Sampdoria first appeared on the European stage. They participated in the UEFA Cup in 1962- 1963 season. On September 26th, 1962,10 defeated the Luxembourg aris team; Sergio Brandi scored the only goal in this game. However, in the next game, Sampdoria faced Hungarian team Phelan Walaas, but it was a fiasco-the score of 0: 6 has always maintained the most disparity record of the club's loss, until today.

In fact, in the 30 years after Sampdoria was founded, although the team has always been a first-class league, it has not achieved any particularly commendable results. The team spent most of the time wandering in the middle of the league, although it also achieved the fourth good result in the league, and participated in the UEFA Cup for the first time under the leadership of Japanese stars Bassetto and Bryan Di. However, in the 65-66 season and 74-75 season, there was such a tragic relegation experience. But the team doesn't seem to care about the league ranking, but is proud of being able to overwhelm Genoa in the same city. Generally speaking, it gives people a feeling of carefree and uncontested.

Finally, the team paid the price for its lack of progress. 1977, the team was unfortunately relegated to the second division because of its poor record, which was not only a shame for Sampdoria, but also a shame for the whole Italian football in the following years. Two great events happened in Italian football. The match between Vicenza and Lazio was relegated to the second division because it was found to be a match-fixing. After that, AC Milan was also ordered to be demoted for allegedly manipulating the sports lottery. A striker from Vicenza was also suspended for two years. He is paul rossi, and later became the biggest contributor to the Italian 1982 World Cup victory.

Time turns to 1982, which is a historic year for Sampdoria Club. After four years in the second division, the team finally returned to the sunny first division. In the same year, the Italian national team won the third World Cup under the leadership of Belzeaux, Zoff and the re-qualified "Golden Boy" Rossi. It can be seen that Sampdoria always seems to be closely related to the fate of Italian football by chance.

Get ready for

It should be said that Italian football in the 1980s was an era of world-class stars. Dutch Three Musketeers, German Sanma, Platini, Bonnec, Fa Erkao, Socrates, laudrup, Passareira, and even small clubs like Verona and Udinese all signed Elkjell and Zico, and the Naples team in the south invited the famous Diego Diego Maradona. However, after Paul mantovani took office, he didn't like other bosses. Crazy investment has a short-term impact on demand. Old mantovani knew very well that the Sampdoria team at that time, no matter its fame or strength, could not attract real international superstars. Besides, it is not enough for a team to remain invincible for a long time. It is most important to have a good youth training system. Therefore, Old mantovani hired Lippi, an Italian coach known as the Silver Fox, for Sampdoria Youth Team. Lippi has just retired from Sampdoria's first team as a player. Old mantovani took a fancy to Lippi's discovery and cultivation of young players' special talents, and then the youth teams of the team emerged Ganz, chiesa and Juventus. Now, Lippi has become a famous coach in Italy and the world. Sampdoria is the place where he started and gained his first experience, which has a great relationship with his future success.

In addition, the team also invited boskov, a Yugoslav veteran with the title of "Novi Sad Wizard", and boskov was also a Sampdoria player. 197 1- 1973, boskov once coached the Yugoslav national team. Later, it was a great success in Feyenoord and Real Madrid. Boskov is not only the tactical commander of the stadium, but also a "Bole" who is good at discovering and cultivating young players. The later "Golden Sampdoria" was cultivated by boskov. Even "Prince of Rome" Totti was proud that boskov was the first to find him when he coached the Roma team.

In addition to hiring high-level coaches for the various echelons of the team, Old mantovani also brought in many powerful players for the team.

There are no big stars among them. Based on the principle of doing great things with little money, most of the imported players were unknown at that time, but they were all young and promising. Among them, 65,438+08 striker Mancini and goalkeeper pagliuca were brought in from Bologna, the same young strikers Viali and Rembado were brought in from cremona, and defender Mannini was brought in from Imores. From Como, I brought Invincizi and Udinese to Blanca, and from Turin, I traded Dossena, a member of the 82-year champion team, for Fossi in Naples and for Renanica. From Parma, then a third-rate team, he moved to Parry and Salsano, and brought in an up-and-coming defender Vichowood from Rome. In addition, people like Lana and Ganz have emerged in his own youth team. These players were later honed in Sampdoria for many years. In terms of foreign aid, the team also brought in German all-around fighter briegel, Brazilian star cerezo, Slovenian star Katanek, Spanish international Victor and Ukrainian Mikhail Lichenko. Together with a group of old generals such as paganin, Boden, pellegrini, Carboni and Bonetti, all these players became the core and framework of Sampdoria from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, and some of them even played a role in the mid-1990s.

golden age

Paolo mantovani's drastic reform of Sampdoria and rational investment in the team finally paid off in the late 1980s. Unlike other teams, Sampdoria started with the Cup. 1984/85 season Italian Cup final, Sampdoria beat AC Milan with goals from Mancini and Viali, and won the first championship in the team's history-the Italian Football Association Cup! In the final of the FA Cup in 1987/88 season, Sampdoria eliminated the old powerhouse Turin with a total score of 3: 2 in two rounds, and won the championship in this direction for the second time (Salsano of Salsano scored the winning goal: P). In 1988/89 season, Sampdoria reached the final again as the defending champion of this event. This time, they met Napoli, the Serie A champion led by Diego Diego Maradona. Although the team lost 0:/kloc-0: 0 in the first round, Sampdoria swept the opponent 4: 0 in cremona in the second round and won the championship in this direction! In just five years, it reached the final four times (it also reached the final in 85-86 season, but lost to Rome) and won the championship three times, making the team the king of the FA Cup! In the league, the performance of the team is also rising step by step. After the adaptation and running-in in 82-83 and 83-84 seasons, Sampdoria's league performance began to improve, from a midstream team to a strong team. 1984/85 season, the team won the fourth place in the league, fifth place in 86-87 season and fourth place in 87-88 season. The following year, that is, 1990, with excellent performance, the team eliminated Dortmund, Monaco and other strong teams successively, and defeated Belgian Ander Lecht in the final held in Gothenburg, Sweden, and won the first European champion since the team was established-the European Winners Cup!

In the 1990s, the team's record reached its peak. 1990- 199 1 season, the team triumphed all the way in the league, overwhelming competitors Inter Milan and champion Naples and winning the first Serie A trophy in the team's history! Among them, Viali won the top scorer with a league goal of 19, and Mancini also won the Italian Footballer of the Year! Sampdoria was undoubtedly the biggest winner of the year! In the same year, the team beat Rome to win the Super Cup! Sampdoria's winning the championship broke the tripartite confrontation between Juventus, AC Milan and Naples, injected fresh blood into Serie A and made Italian fans see new hope!

Sampdoria in 90-9 1 season showed aggressive momentum from the beginning. At the beginning of the league, the team has achieved nine unbeaten results, including beating Atalanta 4-1at home, beating Pisa 4-2, and beating Serie A champion Napoli 4-1away with two goals from Mancini and Viali. After 9 rounds, Sampdoria became the team with the most goals in Serie A, and the team even beat European champion AC Milan away. A series of victories surprised almost everyone, the performance of this team from the port city of northern Italy. Other Serie A giants have also felt unprecedented pressure, perhaps because the opening of the league was unusually smooth, which changed the sailor's mentality. After beating Inter Milan 3-/Kloc-0-0 at home, the team experienced a slight fluctuation on the road to winning the championship. They lost to Turin, which had just returned to Serie A, at home12, and then lost to Lecce at home10. However, Sampdoria, who has won three cups and won a Winner's Cup, showed their mature side at this moment, and the team quickly adjusted its mentality. Since 18 defeated cesena away, the team has won five consecutive victories, including the victories over champions Juventus and Parma, which not only narrowed the gap between the team and Inter Milan, which was temporarily ranked in the forefront, but also gave itself a huge psychological advantage in the competition with rivals with the same points. Then the team relied on goals from Mancini and Viali at home. In the same season, he defeated the mighty AC Milan for the second time, when the team defeated Napoli led by Diego Diego Maradona 4-/kloc-0 again at home. The Azzurri are almost invincible, and Juventus and Parma are far behind, which makes the two teams have to withdraw from the championship competition in advance. After defeating final champion Inter Milan 2-0. Sampdoria has an absolute advantage in the league standings. The league title is also one step away. 1991May19, the 33rd round of Serie A, Sampdoria's home game against Lecce will always be remembered by fans who love Sampdoria. The team beat Lecce cleanly with three beautiful goals from cerezo, Mannini and Viali. After waiting for nearly half a century, I finally lost my dream of winning the Serie A championship. Fill in Sampdoria's name on the Serie A championship list! The whole city of Genoa is cheering for the final victory of the blue sailor! That day became a festival for Genoese! In the final round, Sampdoria and Lazio played a wonderful game for the fans. The score of 3: 3 satisfied all the fans. The team also ended its glorious season with a goal fight. This season, the team not only won the league title, but also made a series of amazing achievements: it won four games against two Milan teams, defeated defending champion Naples with a total score of 8: 2, becoming the team with the most goals in Serie A, and lost to rival Genoa in the derby 1: 2, which became the only flaw of that perfect season. But compared with a series of previous records, this is so insignificant.

It is not difficult to imagine that when a person or a team is at the peak or is gradually moving towards the peak, in addition to winning applause and praise, it is also accompanied by speculation and doubt. Sampdoria is no exception. There is another voice for Sampdoria to win the championship. Some people think that Sampdoria won the championship by accident. At that time, diego maradona, the core and spiritual leader of Napoli, was involved in the whole team because of the transfer turmoil and doping incident, while Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan always involved too much energy in the game. AC Milan can't devote themselves to the league because they will play in the European Champions League. What's more, it is reported that Inter Milan and Sampdoria have set a trap to prevent AC Milan from winning the championship in the same city. See Maldini's autobiography)

In fact, these rumors are not correct. Sampdoria's winning the championship is entirely the result of his own efforts, and it is the reward he deserves for his hard work and painstaking management! Sampdoria, as a young team in Serie A, can't easily buy the players they want by relying on the deep pockets of backstage bosses like Juventus and Inter Milan. Most of Sampdoria's players are trained by their own youth training camps, and most of the imported players were unknown before coming to the team. It has been honed in the team for many years. That's why this champion is more worth cherishing. Among them, the striker composed of Viali and Mancini was called "Terror Gemini" at that time. In addition, Rembado's breakthrough with the ball, pagliuca's beautiful diving save, Mannini's long pass and long shot, and the stable play of defense line Wiljoward have been talked about by fans until now. At that time, the team's playing style was beautiful, full of passion, high in technology and very ornamental. Many games are still classic! The players have been playing together for a long time, getting to know each other and cooperating tacitly. The players are very United and trust each other, and they absolutely obey the coach. When commenting on Sampdoria at that time, Italian media compared it to a cocktail composed of stars and happiness, while more fans called Sampdoria "Golden Sampdoria".

The infinite scenery of Serie A did not satisfy the ambitious Sampdoria team. In the following year's European Champions Cup, Sampdoria, under the leadership of head coach boskov and strikers Mancini and Viali, rushed out of the tight encirclement and reached the final after eliminating strong teams such as Andre Lecht, Panathinaikos and world champion Belgrade Red Star. In the famous Wembley stadium in England, Sampdoria and Barcelona, the Spanish powerhouse, although Sampdoria has an advantage in the competition. However, the civil war between the two teams was 0-0 in 90 minutes. In overtime, Barcelona relied on a goal from Dutch star Koeman to make Sampdoria hate it.

Although it was the runner-up in the Champions League, the team received a hero's welcome from fans after returning to Genoa. Because the fans know how difficult it is for the team to achieve today's results.

change

Sampdoria became the most popular team in Italy and Europe with its excellent record, beautiful playing style and individual players. In the words of head coach boskov, "Sampdoria has established unlimited prestige in Europe. When my Sampo toured Europe, the stadium was full wherever he went. " Even its charm affects Asia. Gullit, Pratt, Jugovich, Maspero, mikhailovich, Seedorf, Veron and Ortega have all been here, and the famous star Klinsmann also chose. In addition, the team visited China twice in 1994 and 1995, respectively, and "Sampdoria fever" appeared in China. The reputation of the team, the personalized stars and their friendliness to the fans are deeply infected here. At that time, small fans were proud of owning a Sampdoria jersey, and children playing football in Sampdoria jerseys could be seen everywhere in the street. It can be seen how important it was in the minds of fans at that time.

After the glory, Sampdoria experienced a personnel fluctuation in the 92-93 season, and boskov turned to coach Rome. Swedish coach Eriksson, who has coached in Porto and Florence, is a newcomer to the team. Although the team used Jugovich, Serena, Bettarelli and English star De Szvak to supplement their strength, the team sold Viali, one of the main players, mysteriously. This is the biggest personnel change in the team in recent years, and the strength of the team has been greatly affected. The combination of Bettarelli and Mancini is obviously not as successful as the combination of Mancini and Viali. More often, the team relies on the personal ability of captain Mancini to score goals, and the team only achieved the seventh place in the league. The only exciting thing this season is that Mancini's goal has reached the peak of his single-season goal. He became the top scorer of the team with a goal of 15. In addition, in this season's Genoa Derby, Sampdoria beat Genoa 4-/kloc-0 at home, which made Sampdoria's supporters proud. It's far from over.

However, the weather is unpredictable. 199310 June 14, the president of the club and the brilliant founder of Sampdoria died in a car accident, and his son Enrico. Mantovani succeeded his father as president of the club. It was this change in the top management of the club that made Sampdoria take the lead.

93-94 season is considered as the strongest team in Sampdoria's history. This season, the team invited Gu Pu Rongzhu, one of the famous three musketeers in the Netherlands. In addition, the team also emerged Bellucci, Amoruso and other rookies, while Busso and Corini became more and more mature. With the joint efforts of Pratt, Yugovic, Evany and the team's elders Mancini, Rembado, Mannini and Wiljoward, the team won the last championship title so far. And that final was regarded as an eternal classic by the fans: Sampdoria beat the poor ancona team 6-/kloc-0-0 in the final, which is unique in the history of the Italian Cup final! (Previously, the biggest disparity score in a single game was Naples 4-0 Verona 1975-76, and Sampdoria 4-0 Naples 1988- 1989).

After a season of exploration and re-creation, Eriksson's reform of the team's tactics finally achieved initial results. In the first round of the league, the team met Napoli led by former Sampdoria youth team coach Lippi. At that time, there was no diego maradona in Naples, and people were distracted and financial resources were exhausted. Sampdoria easily defeated his opponent 2:/kloc-0: 0 at the fiery Sao Paulo Stadium. After that, the team's league performance began to rise step by step, and soon returned to the ranks of popular teams to win the championship. Eriksson's attacking combination of gullit, Mancini and Rembado shows enough strength and passion. In the words of AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi, "Milan was invincible that season, but we were only afraid of one team-Sampdoria led by Gullit". This season, the team has dedicated many classic games to the fans, and the 3-2 home game against AC Milan has been talked about by many fans so far. It has also become one of the most classic competitions in Sampdoria in recent ten years. In addition, the league defeated Udinese 6-2 and defeated Foggia 6-/kloc-0. Sampdoria once again became the most offensive and ornamental team in Serie A, and a series of victories made the team almost win the league title again. Although the team finally ranked third, fans believe that under the leadership of Ferrari's new owner Gullit and captain Mancini, the team will soon bring the league championship trophy back to Genoa and their happy "holy land" Ferrari Stadium. However, when all the fans are experiencing the happiness brought by the team, the crisis is gradually developing in the direction just experienced.

At the beginning of the194-95 season, the team sold/kloc-0 pagliuca, who was the goalkeeper of the Italian national team at the 1994 World Cup, in exchange for Zeng Jia, an old general, which caused dissatisfaction among the fans. However, this is only the beginning. This season, the team seems to have lost the passion of last season. Although the team once occupied the first place in the standings at the beginning of the season, its subsequent performance went from bad to worse, especially at the end of the league. The semi-final of the European Cup Winners Cup was defeated by Arsenal on penalties, ranking eighth in Serie A, and there were some problems within the team. Repeated mistakes in the team's defense line often make frontcourt players like gullit and Pratt have to return to the backcourt to assist in defense. Zeng Jia, who bought at the beginning of the league, was also proved to be a failure, and there was a misunderstanding between players because of tactical problems. Sampdoria defender even threatened half-jokingly in an interview: Gullit's pig tail should be cut off. Although this is just a joke, it can reflect the player's mentality from the side. The players seem to be tired of the status quo of the team. I remember 1995, when Sampdoria visited China for the second time, Serie A consultant Zhang Huide lamented that this was the last time Sampdoria played football with such a lineup. The team won't have such a good lineup now. At that time, many fans had doubts about this. However, at the beginning of the 95-96 season, this sentence came true.

After the start of the season, fans were surprised to find that more than half of the familiar star names in that brilliant team disappeared from the team lineup. All the fans can't believe that this team will be Sampdoria they are familiar with. Fans can only watch their familiar and favorite stars play for other teams. I remember when Sampdoria played Juventus at home, Sampdoria fans put up banners: Rembado, Viali, you are our stars! This scene makes people feel unspeakable sadness. No one knows whether these stars left voluntarily or were driven away by George W. mantovani. After those players left, they are still attached to Sampdoria, and every fan may get his own answer from it. The following is a list of important players that Sampdoria sold in just two years from 1993 to 1995 after George W. mantovani took office:

Where players go.

Pagliuca, Inter Milan.

Serena, Florence.

Lana (Lana) Rome (Rome)

Vierchowod, Juventus.

Bonetti Brescia (Brescia)

Amoruso Padova.

Swinging in the raging storm ―― a dangerous situation.

After sending away a large number of key members of the champion team in the 95-96 season, it was unremarkable for Sampdoria. The fans can only see the shadow of that year from the braid of Cullen cloth and the beautiful blue uniform that is very similar to Gullit. Although the team brought Seedorf, Kalumbu, Maniero and other stars, the team as a whole was weakened by the departure of soul players. The team has only the remaining champions, such as Mannini, Salsano and InVezi. The old captain Mancini also had a conflict with the club president George W. mantovani because of the transfer issue, and his mood fluctuated, which led to his poor state. That season was also one of the few seasons in the team 10 without European competitions.

The only thing worthy of praise this season is the emergence of two new Italians, one of whom is chiesa, who actually entered the first team as early as 87-88. And made his first appearance for Sampdoria in the 88-89 season. However, Sampdoria's front line has been occupied by Mancini and Viali for a long time, and has never had a chance to stand out. Long-term loan to cremona has benefited the striker both psychologically and technically. The strength accumulated on the outside for many years finally broke out this season. Under the extremely difficult situation of team restructuring, he played a very good role as a shooter and team core.

The other is the young goalkeeper Pagoto. In 1995-96, the team gave up Zeng Jia, an old goalkeeper who performed poorly last season, and boldly used Pagoto, who only played in the third-tier league for one season. Although the team's defensive performance was average that season, it repeatedly made mistakes. But Pageto's performance is commendable. I was later photographed by AC Milan, which is a good proof. However, Pageto's later career was very tragic. (When playing for Perugia. Originally only a substitute, he was found to have taken illegal drugs after a few starts, and the Italian Football Association suspended him. After the penalty expires, he can only play in the third-class Tristina. Today, he continues his career in arezzo, Italy. ..

Time has entered the 96-97 season. This season's team is called "the last great Sampdoria" by fans, even though the team sold Seedorf, Kisa and Bettarelli at the beginning of the season.
