Two Hundred and Fifty Five Massacres
"Welcome to the San Paolo Stadium, Mr. Castori!"
At the entrance of the player channel before the game, Gao Shen had a friendly face and at the same time extended his hand towards Castori who came out with a polite smile, while the Italian head coach with a good personality seemed very indifferent.
After shaking hands politely, the two went back to the coach's bench without even exchanging pleasantries.
Gao Shen was puzzled the whole time, he is in his fifties, why is he still so bad-tempered?
He deserved to spend his whole life in the low-level leagues!
But it's quite funny to say, Castori has already collected the championship trophies of all league levels in Italy, except that there is no championship trophy of the most important Serie A league.
I don't know if the nickname of champion collector is ironic to him? Or praise?
"If it was me, whoever said that about me, I would be the first to beat him!" Gao Shen said firmly.
Nima, don't bring such sarcasm, okay?
"Who do you want to hit? The old man? Come on, he's in his fifties. If you beat him up, you're making it clear that you're taking advantage of him?" Lucas didn't understand the profound meaning, and thought he was going to hit Castori. .
Gao Shen was a little speechless, who to reason with?
"I want to beat you!" Gao Shen pretended to be cruel.
Lucas' original smiling expression froze, "Why?"
"Do you still need a reason to beat you?" Gao Shen asked back, "Or, I'll wait for you to choose a good day before doing it?"
In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Today should be a good day!
Suitable for hitting people!
...
I don't know if it's luck, but Naples' Coppa Italia premiere this season is at home again.
The scene is still crowded with people, and the entire stadium is full of seats.
Naples fans have always supported the team, especially after winning the Serie B championship last season, which made the fans feel very proud. This season, they are all working hard, waiting for the team to reach a higher level.
Season premiere, sitting at home,
Gao Shen didn't dare to be careless.
Goalkeeper Handanovic, defense Vargas, David Luiz, Cannavaro Jr. and Lichtsteiner, midfielder Biglia and Rakitic in midfield, Dima in front Leah, Hamsik and Sanchez, the single striker is Cavani.
If nothing else, this should be Gao Shen's starting lineup this season.
The only one who is more suspenseful should be the central defender.
In the second half of last season, Gao Shen frequently tried to use the double central defender combination of David Luiz and Bonucci. The Brazilian central defender pressed forward and Bonucci lagged behind. The two players cooperated very well, and they both had excellent kicks. Pass the ball, especially long ones.
In many games last season, the two central defenders of Naples played like a wave.
But for the sake of safety, Gao Shen still let Cannavaro Jr. start.
In his opinion, it should be a matter of time before Bonucci replaces Cannavaro Jr.
For nothing else, the long pass from the double central defenders instigates the offense is really delicious.
Completely different from Naples, Castori's Cesena played a retro three-back in this game.
Although the three-back tactic was indeed popular in Italy at the beginning of the century, is it too retro?
It's already 2007!
Castori formed a three-six formation, sticking to the midfield.
This style of play made Gao Shen couldn't help but think of the Golden National Youth Team back then, what a distant memory that was.
"It's really authentic and grassroots." Carlo also smiled wryly.
Who said no?
When is it, are you still playing three backs?
Of course, Castori can also say that he sticks to the Italian football creed.
what?
Stick to the middle!
Isn't Italy's creed that no matter how strong the wing is, they must return to the center to score goals?
What a strong old boy!
"Today, if I hadn't disabled him, I would feel sorry for him." Gao Shen also laughed.
What is the strongest in Naples?
sidewalk!
Do you really think that if you sell Gervinho, there will be no one on the wing in Naples?
...
Having said that, but in fact, Cesena's defense is really well organized.
There are three backs, but in fact, the two sides of the front six midfielders basically come back, which forms a five backs.
As soon as Naples opened, they took the lead in launching the attack, and it was still the team's iconic fast-paced high-position press.
Cesena was also well prepared, organized a tight defense in a calm manner, quickly cleared the dangerous area after grabbing the ball, did not miss the ball at all, but focused on defense.
This made it impossible for Naples to create a threat ten minutes before.
After all, it is the season premiere, and the player's game rhythm and body are completely out of shape.
After a wave of attack, Naples patiently controlled the situation and possession of the ball, and patiently familiarized themselves with the rhythm of the game.
But fifteen minutes into the game, Gao Shen made adjustments, signaling Di Maria and Sanchez to press up and stick directly to the opponent's defense, forcing the opponent's defense to retreat a little further.
At the same time, the two full-backs must also actively move forward and provide support.
Hamsik in the middle retreated appropriately, which made the entire formation similar to four-three-three, with the midfielder in a triangular position, but the responsibilities of the players on the court have changed.
For example, after the two wingers stuck to the defensive line, they devoted themselves to attacking and counter-robbing, and basically did not return to defense.
After the adjustment, just five minutes later, Naples found a chance.
After Sanchez received the ball from Rakitic on the right, he tried to break through the defense from the right and failed behind him.
After Cavani squeezed away the defender with his body, he stopped with his right foot and stopped the ball to his right. He adjusted his body again, and before the defender could react, he volleyed vigorously with his right foot and kicked a goal The powerful long-range shot from the front of the penalty area.
This sudden burst shot was so thunderous that the opponent's goalkeeper Berti couldn't react at all, and the ball broke through their goal.
One to zero!
The entire Sao Paulo Stadium couldn't help cheering.
When Gao Shen saw him on the sidelines, he also swung his right fist vigorously, applauding Cavani loudly.
This shot was really beautiful!
"Good job, Edinson!" Gao Shen shouted.
After hearing this, Cavani turned around and raised his fists towards the head coach, as if to say: Praise me as much as you want, boss, look at how good I am!
...
After scoring the first goal, Cesena was a little confused.
Naples took the opportunity to launch a wave of attacks, but Castori is indeed very experienced.
In terms of ability, he must have it, otherwise it would be impossible to win so many championships.
Therefore, after conceding the ball, Castori immediately made adjustments and tried to stabilize his position.
But in the 37th minute, Naples launched an attack from the left.
After Vargas went forward and formed a cooperation with Di Maria, the Argentine dribbled the ball into the baseline and into the penalty area, but was restricted by layers and was forced to knock back to Cavani who ran over to respond.
After the Uruguayan center stopped the ball with his back, it was almost impossible to turn around and face the goal, but he chose to pass back.
I saw that Hamsik arrived at this time, facing Cavani's return pass, and kicked it directly!
The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal, two to zero!
...
The first half ended with Naples leading by two goals.
During the intermission, Gao Shen was satisfied with the performance of the players, but at the same time, he also pointed out that the team did not do enough in many areas, such as the lack of connection between the front wings and the center.
"Keep going in the second half and try to get a good start!"
"come on!"
The profound appeal has been warmly responded by the players.
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, the game still showed a one-sided situation.
In fact, from the beginning of the first half, Castori has clearly realized that Naples this season is stronger than last season.
The players are still the same, but after the training last season and the summary and analysis of the summer training camp, the strength of the players has obviously been further improved.
This is the biggest advantage of young players, they are all going up as a whole.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, Naples dribbled the ball on the left side of the frontcourt and forced a breakthrough, creating a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt. Cannavaro Jr. used a wonderful header to score another goal for Naples. city.
Three to zero!
Only four minutes after the goal, Sanchez dribbled the ball inward on the right, trying to get in touch with Cavani in the middle, and was fouled by Brazilian midfielder Luis Saguiluoto, who was back to the outside of the penalty area. Knocked to the ground by him.
This made Gao Shen on the sidelines very worried.
The Naples fans in the audience booed frantically, and the referee gave a red card without hesitation.
Castori jumped into a rage on the sidelines, blurting out all kinds of national curses.
God knows, is he scolding his players? Still scolding the referee? Or scold Naples?
Sanchez quickly stood up again. When the opponent made a kick, he quickly avoided it without any serious problems, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
But Gao Shen also became ruthless.
Nima, in my territory, you still want to fuck me?
Tired of life?
Thinking of this, Gao Shen waved his hand.
"Continue to attack me! Attack hard!" Gao Shen shouted loudly without any scruples.
"Don't keep your hand! I want to see goals, more goals!"
Castori in front of the visiting team's coach's bench trembled, turned around to look at Gao Shen, and found that the latter didn't look at him at all.
This self-proclaimed defender of the art of Italian defensive football and the most grassroots champion collector is really panicked.
He could feel Gao Shen's anger now.
Violating his player, Cesena stepped over the line!
There is no way, Castori can only quickly signal the team to stand firm and continue to guard against death.
But less than ten minutes after the instructions of the two coaches were issued, Naples once again broke through Cesena's goal.
This is an oblique entry from Sanchez into the penalty area. After receiving a through pass from Hamsik, he easily pushed and hit a near-angle hit, continuing to expand the score for Naples, four to zero!
The Chilean winger was also very excited after scoring the goal, and ran all the way to the sidelines to celebrate.
The surrounding Naples players also rushed forward.
The game is not over yet, the carnage continues!
