Two Hundred and Seventy-Sixth Inter Milan's Greatest Weakness
Falling in love with you Kanshu.com started from coaching Real Madrid
If football is a war, it is often not just the battlefield that determines the success or failure of this war.
Before the war begins, both sides must make the most adequate preparations.
Gao Shen convinced everyone on the coaching staff with a passionate declaration of battle, unified all their ideas and positions, and asked them to make the most careful preparations for this game in the next few days.
At the same time, Gao Shen also began to communicate and chat with the players non-stop.
As the head coach of the team, he needs to let the players understand what he thinks and why he does this?
For example, when playing against Inter Milan, the strength is obviously at a disadvantage, so why can't they defend and counterattack?
The reason Gao Shen gave was simple, he wanted to play Naples with confidence!
The zero-to-three game last season was a big blow to the team.
Not only the players and the coaching staff, but even his head coach, were actually beaten badly and painfully.
Now, everyone in Naples is under more psychological pressure when facing Inter Milan.
If it's just like this, it's actually nothing, but the key is, what if it really comes to the last minute and Naples competes with Inter Milan for the championship?
It's really come to the critical moment when the bayonet sees blood, strength, morale, fighting spirit, willpower... These things have been fought to the extreme, both sides have played to the limit, and the final fight is confidence, this is the breath!
Manchester United repeatedly staged classic reversals in 1999, thanks to this tone!
Many people ask, why is Arsenal always reversed by Manchester United?
Excessive physical consumption is one aspect, but it also just reflects that Arsenal is indeed inferior to Manchester United in terms of confidence.
The momentum of the Premier League hegemony cannot be compared overnight.
Wenger has never been a head coach with a strong aura. The Arsenal he built is more than refined but not tough enough. Especially after the departure of a fierce player and captain like Vieira, the spirit of the entire team has become even stronger. It's plummeted.
Arsenal became a four-guarantee maniac, is it really just because of the construction of a new stadium?
Compared with Liverpool next door, the spirit of the team is completely different.
What Gao Shen wants to build is the character of Naples. He wants to instill his personality and temperament into this team, so when facing Inter Milan, he has to fight!
On the contrary, if it is not Inter Milan, it is a team with similar strength or even weaker than Naples, Gao Shen will choose to defend and counterattack instead.
But now, Gao Shen wants to attack!
He wants the confidence and morale that were defeated in that zero-to-three match to be regrouped!
...
Some of the players understand Gao Shen’s thoughts and give them support;
This is actually quite normal.
In a team, in a locker room, with dozens of people, it is impossible for everyone to be of the same mind as Gao Shen.
Different backgrounds, different living environments, and different growth conditions have forged their different personalities and behavioral styles.
What Gao Shen can do is to tell them what he thinks, and then let them act according to him.
To put it simply, Gao Shen doesn't need their approval and sincere support, as long as they do it and do it well.
After talking with everyone in the team, Gao Shen is confident that the team can do it.
After getting the approval of the players, the next thing for Gao Shen to do is to do his best to prepare for the game.
Inter Milan can be described as strong and strong,
But no matter how strong a team is, there will be some problems.
For example, last season, Ibrahimovic, Crespo, Adriano, Cruz and Recoba, such a super striker can be described as extremely luxurious, and the competition is also quite fierce. During the period, Ibrahimovic Qi even had conflicts with Mancini.
This season, Recoba is gone, Adriano has been sidelined, Cruise, who is more efficient, has got more opportunities to play, and his performance is better, Crespo is just a little sluggish.
However, Suazo, who was introduced by the team at a high price, did not have the outstanding performance in Cagliari last season.
Mancini tried several times to use the combination of Ibrahimovic and Suazo, but the effect was not satisfactory.
But recently, Mancini began to change his thinking and officially established Ibrahimovic as the axis of attack in the frontcourt.
In the last three rounds, Ibrahimovic scored five goals and one assist, and his state can be described as hot.
However, this also brings up a new problem.
...
"Suazo has proven to be out of sync with Ibrahimovic, most likely Cruise."
Gao Shen affixed Cruise's No. 9 on the tactical board, making him tied with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at No. 8.
Inter Milan will still play 442.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
Backline: Chivu/Maxwell, Samuel, Cordoba and Maicon.
Midfielders: Cesar, Stankovic, Vieira and Figo.
Forwards: Kroos and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"Using Ibrahimovic as the offensive axis in the frontcourt allowed Inter Milan to further establish the team's offensive direction and quickly stabilized, but then came another problem, Ibrahimovic! "
Gao Shen focused on the No. 8 of Ibrahimovic.
Beckenbauer once said that the strongest is often the weakest.
In a team with a core, the core is often the biggest weakness.
The same is true for Inter Milan.
Establishing Ibrahimovic as the axis of frontcourt offense means that as long as Ibrahimovic is locked, Inter Milan's offense will be greatly affected, or even directly misfired.
"We can look at the heat map of Ibrahimovic in the past two seasons, and the running distance is actually very little."
Gao Shen showed the ppt materials carefully prepared by Lucas.
"I still remember that when I was at Ajax, Ibrahimovic had a quarrel with Van Gaal because Van Gaal asked him to run, but Ibrahimovic thought that it was impossible for a high center forward like himself to actively run. Not Kluivert."
"After coming to Juventus, he basically remained the same, but under Capello's training, he played relatively more team-oriented, but he still hasn't changed his problems."
What's wrong with Ibrahimovic?
The Swedish center's biggest problem is his greatest strength. As a high center, his skills are too good!
What do you mean?
That is, you can obviously rely on your body to make a living, but you insist on relying on technology to make a living. What does this make technical players eat?
Ibrahimovic's biggest problem is actually the problem of many technical players. For example, many technical players in Naples' current team have this problem, that is, they are too obsessed with technology.
As an egomaniac, Ibrahimovic has been magnified to a very high level in this regard.
He believes he can use technology to solve all problems, and it turns out that he can.
Without encountering high-intensity defensive pressure.
So, why is he called the Champions League soft-legged shrimp?
Because in the Champions League, the defensive intensity increased, so he took a break.
"We can see that almost all his running is for one purpose, which is to facilitate himself to get the ball."
"This is a very self-centered player. When he was at Juventus, he couldn't do this, but when he came to Inter Milan, especially after this season, no one can hold him down!"
Gao Shen can't say, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
In fact, with Ibrahimovic's characteristics, talents and abilities, especially his body, technique and flexibility, he can really reach a height that everyone looks up to.
However, he was born with this kind of arrogant character, no one can subdue him, no one can make him obedient.
It is also because of this that Mancini decided to use Ibrahimovic as the axis of the frontcourt attack.
Since I can't lower you, I can't let you play for the team, that's fine, I let the whole team play around you, it should be okay, right?
Therefore, Ibrahimovic's performance has soared so far.
Knowing this, it is very clear how Naples will deploy targeted tactics.
Gao Shen's request was to cut off the pass to Ibrahimovic as much as possible.
After the Swedish center got the ball, it was really difficult to defend.
Therefore, the best way to defend him is to prevent him from getting the ball.
Inter Milan's offense is based on Ibrahimovic as the frontcourt axis. As long as Ibrahimovic can be restricted from taking the ball, in theory it is equivalent to restricting Inter Milan's frontcourt offense.
It's hard, it's not easy, but it has to be done.
In addition, pay attention to the two sides of Inter Milan.
Needless to say, Figo is on the right, the Portuguese winger is still going strong.
In the zero-to-three match last season, Inter Milan played Solari on the left, but now it has become Cesar, who is also a good winger.
Mancini's strategy this season is to adopt a three-back tactic in the Champions League, and use four-four-two in Serie A.
It is not difficult to see from this that, in fact, Inter Milan is determined to win the Serie A.
Facts have also proved that as long as they adjust, Inter Milan has no opponents in Serie A.
Therefore, it is highly speculated that Mancini's home game is still 442, with Cesar and Figo playing two sides.
As for whether to use Maxwell or Qiwu on the left, it depends on what Mancini thinks.
...
After a preliminary study of Inter Milan's tactics, the coaching staff also began to arrange the training according to their respective division of labor, especially some targeted tactics.
In one week, apart from giving the team a day off, Gao Shen has plenty of time to prepare for the game. He can arrange three targeted training sessions to simulate different game scenarios against Inter Milan.
It is not difficult to choose Naples players, because for the time being, the team's starting lineup is relatively stable.
The only suspense is Biglia.
This player has almost recovered, but whether he can participate in the game depends on his body and fitness, as well as his state at that time.
In the advanced plan, he did not plan to set aside a special substitution for Biglia.
There are only three in one game, and each one is very important and precious.
If Biglia doesn't recover well, he'll use someone else.
"By the way, both Pastore and Valencia will be included in the 18-man list." Gao Shen explained.
Carlo and the others looked at each other in surprise, and nodded in unison.
Pastore actually performed quite well. Valencia came off the bench, but he hasn't adapted very well.
The defense of Serie A is difficult for many players to adapt to.
