Three Hundred and Six, Gao Shen Is Satisfied!

On the evening of January 13th, the final match of the eighteenth round of Serie A.

Naples is a guest at the San Siro Stadium to challenge AC Milan.

The game was very intense, but it was completely beyond everyone's expectations before the game.

In the away game, Naples adopted a tight defensive tactic, rather than the high pressing and oppressive style of the past.

This caused Naples to be very passive on the scene, lagging behind AC Milan in all aspects.

Ancelotti's team changed the sluggishness in the first half, and obviously made a lot of adjustments during the winter break, which activated the team's offense and defense, and was very active in the game.

Both sides come and go, one attack and one defense, the fight is very exciting.

But in the 63rd minute, Napoli's defense made a mistake.

Pirlo sent a through ball like a scalpel. Pato was in the middle of the penalty area and succeeded in anti-offside. After stopping the ball, he turned around and shot the goal, which was saved by Handanovic.

The ball was thrown to the right side of the penalty area. After Ronaldo got the ball, he shook off Vargas and kicked the goal again.

Handanovic, who just got up from the ground, got up again and threw the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

In this game, Gergi Garrick, who replaced Lichtsteiner in the starting lineup, failed to shrink in time and occupied the position. Kaka, who was inserted behind, shot first and scored a goal for AC Milan.

After that, the two sides still returned to the situation of one offense and one defense.

...

Gao Shen was not at all surprised by this situation.

Because the state of Naples tonight is really very bad.

Everyone who watched the game couldn't believe it. This was Naples, which was on the offensive in the first half.

There are too many mistakes.

Naples couldn't beat AC Milan for almost all one-half goals.

Even on the scene, there were often scenes where Naples players were knocked out of position by the opponent, or turned on their backs.

The courage and determination of the players are unquestionable. They fought all the balls and ran hard, but the rhythm and physical condition were really not ideal.

all of these,

As the head coach of the team, Gao Shen already knew about it.

This is why, he clearly knows that Gattuso's suspension has a great impact on AC Milan, but he dare not press out to play.

As long as he plays, Ancelotti will definitely notice the clues, and the situation will be very bad.

In this stadium last season, Gao Shen lost to Inter Milan with a score of zero to three. This season, he does not want to lose a big score to another team in Milan City in the same stadium. To take the blame and resign.

"Recently, you have really abused the players." Gao Shen looked at Buenaventura and Pintus with a wry smile.

After all, the winter break is not a pre-season training camp, and the time is very short, so now, Naples can only adjust while playing games.

Buenaventura shook his head with a wry smile, he was responsible.

However, the players in Naples have been abused by them in recent times.

The most important thing is to regain the rhythm and state.

...

After conceding the ball, Gao Shen quickly made adjustments to strengthen the team's defense.

He replaced Hamsik with Nainggolan.

Yes, before the 70th minute of the game, Hamsik was already out of breath and almost couldn't bear it.

It can also be seen from this how poor the body and state of the Naples players are.

But Hamsik is very important because he has to suppress Pirlo.

The attack just now was initiated by the through ball sent by Pirlo after receiving the ball forward.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that Hamsik failed to keep up with Pirlo in time.

This is a symptom of Hamsik's physical exhaustion.

So Gao Shen traded Nainggolan for him.

Naples continued to take a defensive position, while AC Milan continued to work hard to organize and plan attacks forward.

Ancelotti is also very clear that a one-to-zero lead is not safe.

After the time reached 70 minutes, Gao Shen motioned to Carlo to prepare another substitution.

Three minutes later, Antonio Valencia ran back from the heat and stood beside Gao Shen.

"Have you seen AC Milan's defense clearly?" Gao Shen asked.

Valencia nodded, but didn't quite understand.

Sitting on the bench, he has been paying attention to the situation of the game and observing the movement.

"Kaladze and Nesta form the centre-back, Maldini plays at left-back, and Ambrosini protects in front, but when they attack with the ball, one of the two full-backs always goes forward. It was either Maldini or Bonera who got in."

Ancelotti is actually a very stable head coach. He will not allow his two full-backs to advance at the same time, which would be too much space, but he has to advance, because the attack requires width.

In this game, AC Milan adopted a four-three-one-two formation, the purpose of which is to get together the Brazilian trident in front.

In this formation, the attacking width comes from the forward penetration of the full-backs.

"I guess, we still have about ten minutes to play on Maldini's side. You have to pay attention to Maldini's movements at all times, pay attention to getting behind him, and give full play to your speed advantage. Can you do it? "

Valencia nodded emphatically, which is what he does best.

"Tell Cavani and Callejon, pay attention to your position when defending, save some strength, and keep up with you when counterattacking."

"I see."

"Go!" Gao deeply patted Valencia on the shoulder encouragingly.

Soon, Naples completed a substitution, replacing Sanchez with Valencia.

...

According to a deep guess, he still has ten minutes, but Ancelotti's reaction is also very fast.

Naples just made a substitution here, and Ancelotti immediately asked Favalli on the bench to warm up.

Emerson also ran out at the same time.

Obviously, this fat man wants to give up as soon as he sees it, and keep a one-goal lead.

Gao Shen also immediately made adjustments, signaling to let go of his own right and let AC Milan's left attack.

Sure enough, AC Milan quickly earned a throw-in on the left side of the frontcourt.

Maldini quickly ran to the frontcourt and threw the ball to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is fatter than when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid. Although his movements are still relatively flexible, the overall threat is not as good as before. As soon as he stopped the ball, before he had time to move, he was entangled by Vidal, so he could only pass ball.

But the ball passed to Kaka was cut off by Biglia.

David Luiz rushed out of the penalty area quickly, intercepted the ball first, and continued to move forward.

The Brazilians are now more and more like Lucio.

Before reaching the center line, David Luiz sent a long oblique pass when he saw a chance.

The power of this long pass was astonishing, and it went directly to the right side of AC Milan's penalty area.

AC Milan's defense was retreating at high speed, and Karazze and Nesta ran back desperately. Among them, Karazze mainly placed Valencia on the right, and Nesta kept a close eye on Cavani. .

But Napoli countered faster.

Like a bolt of lightning, Valencia slashed directly to the right side of AC Milan's penalty area, leaving behind Maldini, who was desperately chasing him, before Kaladze was in place. After the ball bounced and fell, his right foot A direct volley cross.

The ball was pressed very low and quickly, and flew directly to the middle of AC Milan's small penalty area.

Cavani was imprisoned by Nesta and Karadze throughout the game, but this time, he gritted his teeth and accelerated suddenly. After throwing away Nesta's half body, he fell to the ground and shot from the front of the small penalty area. West Asia's cross shoveled into AC Milan's goal.

Goalkeeper Dida abandoned the goal, but failed to prevent Cavani's shovel shot.

One to one!

Cavani and Valencia rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal at the same time.

Gao Shen also clenched his right fist on the sidelines.

He is satisfied!

...

Subsequently, AC Milan temporarily changed the substitution strategy.

First, Favalli replaced Maldini, but then replaced Ronaldo with Gilardino and continued to strengthen the attack.

Naples tried to keep the tie and was forced to retreat across the board.

Ancelotti was brave in the end, replacing Pirlo with Gourcuff, and continued to strengthen the offensive.

In the final stage of AC Milan, they were almost playing against Naples.

But there were Cavani and Valencia in front, especially Valencia who had just come off the bench. His speed was so fast that AC Milan didn't dare to let go.

With long passers like David Luiz and Bonucci at the back, speed players like Valencia in the front, plus Cavani and Callejon with amazing impact, AC Milan also has to be wary of Naples fight back.

In the end, the two sides shook hands one to one to make peace!

...

After the game, Gao Shen gave his assistants high-fives and hugs one by one.

Gao Shen is very satisfied with the fact that the team was able to grab a point from AC Milan in such a bad state.

Who could ask for more?

"Thanks to your substitution!" Pintus couldn't help praising Gao Shen when he hugged him.

It is indeed too important to replace people.

If Valencia was the starter, it might not be able to have such an effect, but Gao Shen arranged him as a substitute, and when AC Milan was exhausted to a certain extent, he was replaced, which hit the nail on the head.

The assistants actually knew it in their hearts.

Whether it's the formation before the game or the on-the-spot command during the game, Gao Shen has already brought Naples' current player configuration and state to the extreme, and he even directly launched a defensive counterattack.

Just because of the player's state and physical condition, the tactics are wrong, and it is really possible that AC Milan will score a big score.

Now it is one to one, which is really pretty good!

"Unfortunately, the ranking dropped by one place, nine points behind Inter Milan." Gao Shen couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, but soon smiled, "But it's okay, get through this period, and we will catch up!"

Naples coaches also nodded.

"I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone and the fact that we have this group of outstanding players, we will be able to achieve the best results!"

Bitter before sweet!

This is the truth taught to Gao Shen by his parents and teachers since he was a child.

He also believes that after experiencing short-term labor pains and sufferings, Naples will definitely be able to usher in the pinnacle of explosion!

There must still be a chance to hit the Serie A championship and the Coppa Italia championship!

At least for now, he doesn't think too much about the success rate. He only has one idea, which is to try his best to play every game well.

That's what he did when he was in charge of Real Madrid.

Now, he still does it!
