Two Hundred and Twenty Third, Destroying Naples

In the afternoon, in the Bay Area of ​​Naples, near the San Paolo Stadium, fans are constantly gathering.

A week ago, Naples lost 1-2 to Roma in an away game, which made everyone in Naples feel very depressed.

In the subsequent Serie A, the team also drew with Genoa, which made Naples controversial again.

Three, even many media are saying that Naples' good luck has been exhausted.

The second half of Serie B will no longer be dominated by Naples.

Naples fans are not happy to hear such words.

And this afternoon, this crucial matchup at the San Paolo Stadium will determine whether Naples can continue to go on in the Coppa Italia.

Along the way, Naples fans rushed to the San Paolo Stadium in groups, bursting into bursts of cheers from time to time.

"Napoli must win!"

"Damn Rome!"

"Bring back the Yankees!"

Amidst the various slogans of the fans, a bus printed and dyed with the colors of Rome and the team logo slowly drove up,

Accompanied by bursts of boos and abuse, some fans even threw out the drink bottle they were holding in their hands after reacting.

With a bang, the window glass of the bus was hit, but not broken.

Ma Dan, obviously strengthened the window glass.

It's a pity that I didn't see any stones just now.

"It's been years since I've felt the madness of the Napoli fans!"

In the bus, the Roma players were all sitting on the ground, Wolf King Totti laughed and joked.

In Italy, Naples fans are notoriously crazy.

This often also represents loyalty.

This loyalty has not changed even after the team has been relegated to the third tier league.

"Fortunately, our car windows are all specially reinforced glass, otherwise, they would have been smashed." De Rossi also laughed.

Totti nodded happily, "This is a must in Italy."

Italian fans are actually very rough,

How do you say something?

When it comes to fans in European football, England and Italy are the most difficult to deal with.

If a Premier League team meets a Serie A team in the Champions League, then this kind of match will not only be a contest on the court, but also a contest of municipal management and security capabilities of the cities where the two sides are located.

There is no other reason. Almost every time the Premier League meets Serie A, the fans make trouble.

gang war?

Just kidding, that's a piece of cake, and dead people are even more common.

Therefore, the windows of the buses of Serie A teams are often broken, and everyone is used to it.

"Remember, tonight at the San Paolo Stadium, after scoring a goal, don't get too close to the stands to celebrate, otherwise,

Their fans will not treat you politely. "Totti exhorted.

Apparently, he'd heard of such things.

"Then let's stay away from the stands." Vucinic laughed.

This young player has performed well on loan from Lecce to Roma this season. He is very comprehensive and runs very actively. Spalletti will use him tonight to replace Perotta.

This also means that Rome will adopt more active offensive tactics at the San Paolo Stadium tonight.

"It's better to be outside the range of throwing objects, God knows what they will throw down?" Totti replied with a smile.

Everyone nodded.

Playing away, especially against a team like Napoli, be careful.

After the first round of the game,

They are both more confident for the second leg.

A Serie B team collapses in one rush!

tyrannical?

No matter how strong it is, it is Serie B!

Spalletti was sitting in the front row. When he heard the movement behind him, he turned his head to take a look. When he looked back, he had a satisfied smile on his face. He was very satisfied with the current period of the team, and the state was well adjusted. .

Perrotta has accumulated two yellow cards and is suspended, and there are not many people in Rome who can use it now.

Spalletti has only these few people in his hands, and it is really difficult to adjust.

The most important thing about Perotta is the running range, which is very important to the midfielder of Roma, so Spalletti chose Vucinic, hoping to let this forward, who is also active in running, replace Perotta's position.

Not only that, this is actually a targeted adjustment made by Rome to address Naples' defensive problems.

Judging from the first round of the game, Naples' defense has a very serious problem, that is, between their double midfielders and the defense line, it is easy to have a gap. .

In the final analysis, this is also caused by Gao Shen's messing around.

The two defensive midfielders he chose were not playing defensive midfielders at all before, which caused them to always inadvertently lose their position in the game, thus forming a loophole between the midfielder and the defense.

The two goals in the first round were almost achieved through this point.

But that's not enough.

Spalletti did not want to give Naples any chance of resurgence, so he chose Vucinic this time.

Anyway, Perotta was suspended, so he used Vucinic to cooperate with Totti, Mancini Jr. and Taddei, using the gap in Naples to directly beat them up.

But in this way, Rome will definitely change.

Unlike Gao Shen who has been using 4231 all year round, Spalletti's Roma can adapt to different tactical formations. Although Spalletti didn't say anything in front of the media, he still has an idea in his heart.

Let the double crown coach of Naples reveal his true colors!

Let Saki see what kind of person he chose!

"Hey, Zinedine."

"Hi, Arrigo."

In the grandstand of the St. Paul Stadium, Zidane, accompanied by De Laurentiis and Marino, sat in the best position in the administrative stand area, and saw Sacchi wearing sunglasses and a signature bald head. Come over with a smile.

Zidane immediately stood up to greet and shake his hand.

Sacchi also shook hands with De Laurentiis and Marino.

Regarding this highly respected legend in Italian football, De Laurentiis and Marino did not dare to neglect, they were very polite, and both Sacchi and Zidane were friends who were profound and special.

The two had worked together when they were in Real Madrid, and they had a lot of dealings with each other. They were very familiar with each other. When they met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries, but the topic soon fell on this afternoon's game.

Saki looked at the lighting in the stadium, then looked up at the sun, and said wow, "It seems that I have to seriously guess."

Zidane nodded and smiled, "In the first half, it happened to be facing the sun, which would be a bit dazzling. In the second half, there was basically no sun, so..."

It's hard to say how much this affects, but at least it's a psychological advantage.

"I heard the news, it is said that Rome may adopt proactive tactics tonight." Sacchi said without worry.

Really? ’ Marino was startled.

"Should be about the same." Saki nodded.

"This can be troublesome. Roma is the team with the strongest offensive firepower in Italy this season." Marino said worriedly.

Even De Laurentiis could not help showing anxiety after hearing this.

Naples is a Serie B team, no matter how strong it is, it is still Serie B.

But Roma is different, this is the second place in Serie A, the team with the strongest offensive firepower and the strongest defense.

Naples has almost no advantage in front of Rome.

"The players in Roma are indeed superior. Naples is young and has potential, but it is not mature enough. This game is very difficult." Zidane also frowned.

"Gao Shen has no other arrangements?" Saki looked at Zidane suspiciously.

Zidane was taken aback, "How do I know that?"

"I heard that you came yesterday and have been with him all the time."

Zidane was taken aback, did the news spread so fast?

"I just see that he is not doing well recently, and I just have time, so I came to visit and comfort him by the way. I am not on his coaching staff, so I don't know what he wants to do." Zidane shook his head vigorously.

"Besides, don't talk about the coaching staff. Look at Real Madrid before. Many times, what did he think? As players, we are also at a loss. When the tactics he arranged worked, we suddenly realized, oh, I see."

Saki also thought it made sense.

"The Coppa Italia reached the quarter-finals, this report card is enough." Sacchi said lightly.

The last words were a bit like telling De Laurentiis and Marino to give Gao Shen a shot in advance.

Serie B teams play Serie A teams. If they are mid-lower Serie A teams, they still have the power to fight, such as Parma and Ascoli. It's really, really hard to win.

At least in terms of strength, Naples is now at a disadvantage.

The key depends on the formation and strategizing of the head coach Gao Shen.

To put it bluntly in a football game, it is to contain the opponent's attack and give full play to one's own advantages.

If you can do these two things, you have a chance to win.

All the duels where the weak win the strong come from this way.

Gao Shen didn't know what the friends in the stands were talking about.

Because, he got the starting list before the game.

Vucinic replaced Perotta.

In fact, Roma's bench lineup is very thin, and players who are capable of replacing Perotta can be counted with their fingers.

Among the most likely are Sweden's Christian Wilhelmsson and Vucinic.

Williamson was temporarily loaned from Ligue 1 Nantes during the winter break. He is fast and versatile and can play many different positions. Vucinic is also on loan from Lecce, but he joined the team last summer and is more familiar. Gao Shen guessed before the game that it was probably Vucinic.

Use cooked but not raw.

Spalletti's choice is understandable.

If you have to say it, it can only be said that it is too easy to guess.

Of course, for Spalletti and Roma, they should and don't care whether they will be guessed or not.

They are Roma, the second-ranked team in Serie A. After 19 rounds, their offensive power and defense are comparable to Inter Milan. Would they care if a Serie B team can guess their lineup?

Gao Shen not only guessed Spalletti's lineup, but also guessed his tactical intentions.

That's offense!

After giving Naples an away goal at home, Spalletti wanted to get one back as soon as possible, and at the same time expand the result.

Even, if possible, destroy Naples in one fell swoop!
