Four Hundred and Nine Topped the List

On the afternoon of September 21st, the Friuli Stadium.

Gao Shen stood in front of the visiting team coach's bench with his brows furrowed, silently watching the game.

The scoreboard showed the score at this moment, and it was still zero to zero.

Naples failed to capture Udinese away.

The time has skipped seventy minutes.

Gao Shen made two substitutions in one breath.

Once, Callejon was replaced by Pastore, and Hamsik was replaced by Rakitic.

In the match against Real Madrid in the middle of the week, Callejon performed well after coming off the bench, but this round of starting performance was not ideal. It is estimated that he was also affected by the back and forth in the middle of the week.

Hamsik played well, but the effect was not very good.

Udinese adopted a three-five-two formation tonight.

It can be said to be three-five-two. In fact, the two full-backs actively retreated to the back line, more like five-three-two.

This style of play performed very well in Mazari's Sampdoria team last season, so it was used by many people. Udinese coach Marino also wanted to try this style of play.

Therefore, this game was very difficult.

Udinese played at home, and they played fast-paced offense and defense against Naples from the very beginning, and it was clear that they had to fight for consumption.

Naturally, Naples was not to be outdone, and the two sides began to fight.

Judging from the scene, Naples has a slight advantage, but not very much, and Udinese is not without counterattack.

The two sides have played so far, and the number of shots is ten to fourteen, and Naples also has a slight advantage.

Gao Shen replaced Pastore and Rakitic at this time. In fact, the intention is also obvious, that is, to strengthen the midfielder's ability to pass and push forward, as well as Pastore's ability to drive the ball.

He wanted to use this to break Udinese's midfield rush and solid defense.

...

Rakitic's first touch on the pitch was a defensive tackle that brought down Udinese midfielder Inle.

Inle is a Swiss international. He played for Zurich in the Swiss Super League. He and Rakitic played for Basel were deadly rivals, but the two were familiar with each other. The midfielder's hand rose.

But the referee still gave Rakitic a yellow card.

This made Gao Shen shake his head.

As soon as you play, you get a card in less than a minute.

"This Inle is very cunning and smart. What he did just now was actually deliberately plotting against Rakitic." Zidane was extremely experienced, and he saw through Inle's tricks at once.

But what if you can see through?

The yellow cards have already been obtained, and there is no way to change them.

...

Advanced substitutions are still effective.

After Pastore came on the field, several dribbles were very threatening, which made Udinese's defense somewhat confused.

Especially in the 77th minute, after changing two people, after Naples regained the advantage, Pastore got the pass from Vidal on the left rib, started with the ball, and slanted into the left side of the penalty area. , straight to the bottom line.

During the high-speed advance, Pastore saw the opportunity, knocked horizontally on the left side of the penalty area near the penalty spot, and handed it to Peilai.

The Italian center kicked with his back, stopped the ball, and flicked it horizontally.

I saw Rakitic, who had just received a yellow card when he came off the bench, suddenly stepped in quickly, and before everyone else, he shot an angry shot directly, and the ball hit the net.

Break the goal of Udinese!

Goalkeeper Berardi was dumbfounded in the face of such an angry shot.

Subsequently, Udinese made consecutive substitutions, and Naples began to play steadily.

In the end, neither side could score again.

Naples narrowly beat Udinese 1-0 away with Rakitic's goal.

...

In this round, the strong Serie A teams basically won the game.

Roma defeated Reggina 3-0 and Juventus beat Cagliari 1-0 away.

Inter Milan beat Turin 3-1 away, while AC Milan beat Lazio 4-1 at home.

After three rounds,

The Serie A league began to show its layers.

Inter Milan continued to occupy the top spot, Naples came in second, and both teams scored nine points.

After that, there are seven points for Juventus, followed by teams such as Lazio and Palermo.

Although AC Milan won this round very well, they only scored three points and barely got out of the relegation zone.

…………

…………

Three days later, in the middle of the week, Serie A ushered in the fourth round.

Roma, who had won very well in the third round, capsized in the gutter in the away game this time. They lost 1-3 to Genoa. On the first match day of the fourth round, they had a big upset.

Diego Milito scored twice for Genoa, helping the home team beat the Rossoneri 3-1.

This battle made Diego Milito famous.

After the Argentine center emerged in La Liga, he still performed well in Serie A.

...

In the match between Inter Milan and Laiqie at home, although they had an overwhelming advantage, they could not stand up to Laiqie's strict defense.

In Italy, any team that is dedicated to defending is often very difficult to play.

This is why many strong teams play poorly at home and play better away.

Because when all teams come to the home court, they will adopt strict defense tactics.

This time Laiqie is no exception.

But in the 79th minute, Mourinho finally scored a small victory with Cruise's goal.

Cruz's goal helped Inter Milan continue to occupy the top spot.

...

Juventus' luck was not so good.

Catania pulled one back in the second half after Amauri scored for the Bianconeri.

In the end, the Bianconeri shook hands with Catania one to one at home.

AC Milan narrowly beat Reggina 2-1 with goals from Borriello and Pato in the away game.

Naples ushered in Palermo after returning home.

It's also a tough matchup.

In the fourteenth minute, Hamsik opened the scoring for Naples.

Afterwards, the two sides stalemate until the second half, and Cavani scored a goal in the 75th minute.

But in the 81st minute, David Luiz fouled while defending, was shown a yellow card by the referee and awarded a penalty kick.

Miccoli did it overnight.

In the end, Naples defeated Palermo 2-1 at home.

…………

…………

The fifth round of Serie A started with a 0-0 draw with Sampdoria away from Juventus.

The Bianconeri had nothing to do with Mazzarri's team in an away game, and the two sides finally shook hands.

Roma beat Atalanta 2-0 thanks to goals from Panucci and Vucinic.

Naples challenged newly promoted Bologna away.

Under the leadership of head coach Alligoni, this team was promoted to Serie A as the second in Serie B, but only got one win and three losses in the first four rounds of this season, ranking eighteenth in the standings. It is very bad, and the relegation situation is also in danger.

Facing Naples at home, Arrigoni formed a four-three-two-one Christmas tree formation that imitated Ancelotti, and faced the battle with three midfielders.

But who would have thought that in the opening nine minutes, Naples defender Cannavaro Jr. fouled while defending Amoruso and was awarded a yellow card and a penalty kick.

Zero reading network

Di Vayo made it overnight and opened the scoring for Bologna.

Gao Shen was very dissatisfied with the penalty and thought it should not be a penalty.

More importantly, is it a bit outrageous to be penalized for two consecutive rounds?

But Vidal equalized for Napoli just three minutes later.

Another three minutes later, Pastore received an assist from Macho on the right and made another victory for Naples, successfully overtaking the score.

Before the end of the first half, it was Pastore again, who scored the third goal for Naples with the assist from Pei.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Nainggolan scored a goal with an assist from Vidal.

In the end, Naples, relying on the outstanding performance of the rotation lineup, reversed Bologna 4-1 away.

...

The focus of the fifth round is at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.

AC Milan vs. Inter Milan at home.

This Milan derby has attracted strong attention from the whole of Italy and even European football.

Mourinho is strong and strong, even in the "away game", he still showed a strong offensive momentum.

Anyone can see that AC Milan is very weak now.

And the facts have also proved that the Rossoneri is indeed inferior to Inter Milan in terms of strength.

But no one thought that it was AC Milan who scored the goal first.

In the twenty-sixth minute, after receiving a long pass from Pirlo, Kaka passed the defender from the right rib, crossed into the penalty area obliquely, and passed to the back point, accurately finding Ronaldo, the teammate of the Brazilian national team. Dinho.

The superstar pressed Cambiasso from the back and headed a dead corner with a header he is not good at.

There is nothing Cesar can do about it!

But this conceded goal made Mourinho completely give up all his illusions, especially in the second half, he almost made up his mind to break the boat, and made successive substitutions and adjustments, all of which were to strengthen the offense.

AC Milan made consecutive substitutions, and in the end even Pato was replaced by Flamini.

Ancelotti is obviously also bent on scoring this three-pointer at home and giving Inter Milan a painful lesson.

The Nerazzurri are stronger, and Mourinho's offensive is very fierce after continuous substitutions and adjustments, but AC Milan's Christmas tree formation is also impregnable, preventing Inter Milan from taking advantage of it.

Until stoppage time, Inter Milan was almost playing against AC Milan.

First, Quaresma volleyed from the outside of his instep on the right side, which went wide of the goal.

After that, Inter Milan continued to press and continued to attack.

Only three minutes later, at the last moment of stoppage time, Maicon made a diagonal pass from the right and made a point.

AC Milan's defensive players were all attracted by Imbrahimovic and Adriano at the front point, so that they ignored Cruz at the back point.

The Argentine center forward grabbed the spot and headed in just before the back post, blasting the ball into Abbiati's goal

One to one!

In the end, with Cruz's goal, Inter Milan drew with AC Milan "away" 1-1.

Since Naples reversed Boloni 4-1, when Inter Milan drew with their rivals in the same city, Naples also relied on a two-point advantage to overtake Inter Milan and topped the Serie A standings for the first time this season.

This once again caused an uproar in Italy.

Everyone realizes that this season's Naples is not consistent with what the outside world has guessed.

Especially in the two-line battle between the Champions League and Serie A, although Naples did not play as expected, they scored points steadily.

But the real test is in the Champions League midweek.
