Two Hundred and Sixtieth Four Chapters Deus
After Naples made substitution adjustments, the players' positions have also undergone some changes.
Gao Shen asked the two sides to try to separate Cagliari's defense and create enough space for the center.
At the same time, football needs to cross more and pull more.
Before crossing, as a fan, Gao Shen actually couldn't understand the cross pass between Guardiola and Barcelona.
But after becoming the head coach, he had to admit that once your opponent puts up a defensive position against strict defense, it is really very difficult to break through.
This is the case with Cagliari that Gao Shen is facing now.
To deal with this kind of team, you really can only rely on constant consumption, constant pulling, and creating loopholes for the opponent.
Because you see, long shots, high strikers and set pieces, those are the results.
What does that mean?
That is, the long-range shots, high center forward headers and set kicks that fans see can score in the iron barrel formation. That is because the bus has been broken before that.
It is the bus that is broken first, long shots, set kicks and high center forwards can be effective, not the other way around.
Like Cagliari, there are four players in the back line, three players in the back line, and two midfielders. When necessary, they can have nine players back to the inside and outside of the penalty area to defend. A space can be effectively covered.
Under such circumstances, even if Naples is willing to invest enough troops to attack, it has to be considered, is it too crowded with so many people gathered in such a small area?
And crowding itself is bad for offense, isn't it?
then what should we do?
In fact, there is really no way.
This is like Barcelona's set of passing and possession concepts. As long as the ball is in my hands, you can't score.
Yes, in theory, I only need to have 100% possession of the ball. If you don't control the ball, what goal will you score?
The same is true for the bus, as long as I don't make mistakes and the players execute their tactics well, you have nothing to do with me.
However, all of this cannot be executed perfectly.
So at this time, it is necessary to compete for patience, consumption, and all aspects.
Non-stop lateral shifting and pulling, non-stop passing back and forth.
That Barcelona cross that everyone complains about, isn't that what it is?
Because the opponent knows that I can't grab your ball, but I don't want to be scored by you, so I can only guard against it.
Barcelona saw that the opponent was strictly defending and lost the ball when they passed forward, but they didn't want to lose the ball, so they could only keep crossing.
Some people may ask, why doesn't Barcelona take some risks? Pass forward, don't pass so many crosses, wouldn't it be good?
This question returns to a very basic point.
Control the ball, Barcelona can remain unbeaten; pass forward, lose the ball, Barcelona has the risk of being scored.
Regardless of the size of the risk, it is a risk.
If it were someone else, another team, how would they choose?
The answer is basically the same, learn from Barcelona!
All those who say they don't want to learn from Barcelona are because they don't have the ability to pass and control the ball like Barcelona.
It's like advanced, he certainly doesn't learn it now.
But assuming Naples has this ability to pass and control the ball, why doesn't he learn it?
Do you want me to stop cross-talking?
Then why don't you press out and defend? Does it have to be so tight?
You pressed it out, and I found a loophole, so why don't you just pass it on?
...
In this way, Naples kept passing the ball from the left to the right, and then from the right back to the left.
Cagliari's defensive line also followed Napoli's ball from left to right, and then from right to left, back and forth non-stop.
In this process, it is impossible for the players to maintain a consistent pace, and if they are not consistent, there will be omissions.
For example, two minutes after Pastore played, when Naples made a cross from the right to the left, Hamsik stopped the ball with his back and passed it back to Pastore.
After the Argentine teenager stopped the ball in the gap, he turned to the left and dribbled the ball diagonally to the gap. This shocked Cagliari's defense and immediately rushed over to intercept it. The formation immediately became disordered.
Di Maria raised his hand on the left to ask for the ball. He saw the opportunity. Cavani in the middle of the penalty area, Sanchez in the back point, and Hamsik in the back are all ready to go. As long as the pass is passed, he can Form a shot.
Pastore also saw Di Maria, but took an extra step. When he wanted to pass the ball, the opponent's midfielder Biondini had already rushed over, and the oblique pass he sent in a hurry was deviated. Passed directly to the feet of opposing defender Ferri.
There was a burst of regret from the entire stadium.
Di Maria raised his hands towards his compatriots in front, as if to say: Dude, pass it to me, where is your sight?
Pastore raised his hand apologetically, and glanced at Biondini again, feeling a little apprehensive.
Serie A's defense is too meticulous.
He took a small step just now, trying to spread it better, but in the end...
But no one will care about Pastore's pass error, because Cagliari's big foot clearance was snatched by Naples again, and the pass was quickly passed over the center line.
The situation of the game seemed to be back to just now.
...
"Pierpaolo, this is the one you guys made a fuss about in Argentina, isn't it?"
In the stands, Sacchi looked at Pastore who was running to meet him, and asked with a smile.
"Well, it cost us half a million euros." Marino nodded.
Saki nodded appreciatively, "Another good deal!"
I don't know why, when Marino heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He secretly looked at the boss beside him, De Laurentiis.
Don't say it, Mr. Saki, besides, I will be scolded again!
Buying and selling is a good deal, but the problem is that sharing is like cutting meat.
"If this kid had passed that kick a little faster, this attack would have been made." Saki praised.
Playing a threatening offense does not mean that you will be able to score goals, but at least it is much better than it is now.
On the field, Pastore once again caught the ball, saw the opportunity, passed the ball to Hamsik, and quickly advanced himself. Hamsik knocked back decisively, forming a midfielder. Two over one cooperation.
But Pastore wanted to take it over, but it turned out to be a bit big, and he was cleared by the opponent's midfielder Conte.
Although he still failed to pose a threat, Pastore performed well and was very active, winning applause from the San Paolo Stadium.
"This kid has a good sense and technique, but he's a little tender." Saki praised.
He now understood what Gao Shen wanted to do.
This idea is correct, and the thinking is also correct, it depends on being able to score goals.
Sometimes, the head coach's tactics are right, but it doesn't mean he can win.
This is also the most mysterious place in football.
...
Giampaolo is not a fool either, and he can easily see the profound adjustment changes.
Especially the point of Pastore, obviously active.
This will become a major hidden danger for his defense, so Giampaolo began to signal the players to pay close attention to Pastore.
Since the dribbling ability and propulsion ability are excellent, try to press as much as possible.
This made Pastore start to retreat.
Gao Shen watched from the sidelines and shook his head. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he called Hamsik to the sidelines.
"They are keeping a close eye on Pastore now. You should withdraw your position a little bit and let Pastore expand his range of activities. I allow him to play freely and run freely. I don't believe that Cagliari will ignore the stability of the defense line. Follow him all the time, understand?"
Hamsik was out of breath, but nodded emphatically.
"Also, Masik, after retreating a bit, pay attention to the timing, and move forward decisively if you have the opportunity!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen patted Hamsik on the shoulder encouragingly, signaling him to hurry back to the game.
On the Cagliari side, they basically didn't even consider substitutions.
Obviously, Giampaolo's strongest main lineup is on the court.
Before the player's physical fitness is exhausted, he should not consider substituting.
Gao Shen has also been waiting.
Naples has been consuming their opponents, and now they have replaced Pastore, which shows that they want to further create mistakes and loopholes for their opponents.
With the passing of physical fitness, the possibility of mistakes increases.
The game went into a stalemate for seventy-five minutes.
...
Sanchez stood panting near the right line.
He was up and down throughout the game, and his physical energy consumption was also very high.
But the more it gets to this time, the more it will test the physical fitness, will and desire to win of the players on both sides.
When Lichtsteiner received the pass and the opposing player Feeney pressed towards Lichtsteiner, Sanchez immediately retreated and raised his hand for the ball.
"here!"
Lichtsteiner saw the passing line, passed it immediately, and shouted, "Safe."
After hearing this, Sanchez stopped the ball and turned around without any hesitation.
This kind of shouting between teammates trusts each other very much.
After turning around, Sanchez immediately rushed forward with the ball, along the right side, trying to force a breakthrough through Del Grosso.
He has long disliked this kid. If it was just one-on-one, he would have blown him up.
But Cagliari's two lines are too tight.
Before Sanchez rushed in front of Del Grosso, Parola had already ran over to help defend and protect.
The Chilean winger stopped decisively, because he knew that he would be caught in a pinch any further.
Being pinched by the opponent on the wing, the attack is over.
At this time, Pastore in the middle wanted to run over to meet him.
When Sanchez saw it, he had a flash of inspiration, feinted his shot, and made a gesture to go to the bottom line. He suddenly smashed the ball and cut in, went straight to Parola, and passed the ball in front of Pastore in time.
The Argentine teenager is tall and has long legs. He took the first step to stop the ball forward, and he also accelerated decisively. He went straight to the penalty area from behind Parola. At this time, Parola had not had time to turn around and could not stop Pastore at all. .
Conte came over to block the ball at the first time, but Pastore took the first step and poked lightly with his foot. The ball seemed to have eyes, and Kankan passed under Conte's feet, forming a crotch piercing.
Everyone couldn't see what happened at all. They only saw Pastore dribbled the ball and broke through the middle of Conte and Parola, broke through the encirclement, and dribbled the ball straight to the penalty area.
At this time, Cagliari's defense line has been broken.
Central defender Blanco couldn't hesitate any longer, and immediately rushed towards Pastore, trying to block him outside the penalty area.
But Pastore's handling this time was very timely, and he directly poked the ball to the right side of the big penalty area behind Blanco.
Cavani quickly slanted forward.
