Four Hundred and Sixty Battles

After winning the away game 2-1 in the first leg of the Champions League, how should they play in the second leg at home?

This is actually a very interesting question.

In other words, it actually has no standard answer at all.

Choosing to defend and counterattack seems safe, but in fact it is tantamount to handing over the initiative at home to the opponent.

After all, the opponent lost two away goals at home, which requires the opponent to score at least two away goals in the second round of the away game in order to make up for the loss in the first round.

Then choose to press out and play against the opponent?

This is actually very risky.

A confrontation is tantamount to exposing one's own defense line. Once the opponent scores two goals, the situation of the game will be completely reversed. At that time, the home team will be in trouble instead.

Then take a more balanced tactic? This again seems too mediocre.

You see, no matter how you choose, there is no standard answer.

It can only be said that professional football is a result-oriented sport. All flowers and applause, all accusations and abuse are based on results, and even those football commentators and columnists are On the basis of the results, reverse the game process, and then search for various arguments in favor of yourself.

But before the game, when the head coach decides tactics, he often makes choices based on his opponent and himself.

For example, Napoli's game against Chelsea at home.

Before the game, the Italian and British media were frantically discussing what tactics Gao Shen would adopt.

Guus Hiddink uttered harsh words early on. Chelsea will definitely stick to their offensive tactics in the away game. He wants to complete an epic reversal in the away game and lead the team to the quarter-finals.

Gao Shen's answer was a bit unexpected. He said directly that he hadn't thought it through yet.

Everyone shattered their glasses after hearing this.

But when it came to the competition, people discovered that it was not that Gao Shen hadn't thought about it.

On the contrary,

Gao Shen thought about it early and made a very brave and courageous decision.

Battle!

...

Hiddink changed the four-three-three in the first round and adopted a more balanced four-four-two tactic, with a small diamond-shaped midfielder.

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defense: Ashley Cole, Alex, Terry and Belletti.

Midfield: Mikel lags behind, Essien and Lampard split the wings, and Ballack comes forward.

Forwards: Anelka and Drogba.

Hiddink made two very bold decisions.

One is to play against Naples at the San Paolo Stadium, but this is more or less forced by the situation.

In the case of losing 1-2 at home in the first round, if Hiddink's team still wants to advance, they must press and attack away. This is a well-known thing and there is no choice.

It was Essien who was really bold.

The Ghanaian midfielder who had just returned from injury was immediately put into the starting lineup by Hiddink.

...

Gao Shen did not make any adjustments, and still responded in a four-three-three manner.

Goalkeeper: Handanovic.

Defense: Vargas, David Luiz, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner.

Midfield: Thiago Motta drags deep, Biglia and Rakitic center.

Forwards: Sanchez, Cavani and Di Maria.

Although Gao Shen still responded with four-three-three, and the lineup did not make adjustments or changes, but in fact, he made changes in the player's position, allowing Sanchez and Di Maria to switch positions, forming an inverted winger .

This is also a very obvious signal.

That is, Gao Shen will play against Chelsea at home, and will not be soft.

Before the game, when Gao Shen went to shake hands with Hiddink, the Dutch coach smiled and said to Gao Shen, "Tonight will be a wonderful match!"

Gao Shen also took it for granted.

"Me and my team will advance with a smile!"

But in fact, just after the game started, Gao Shen's heart came out of his throat.

…………

…………

Strictly speaking, the opening was just over a minute, less than two minutes.

Chelsea's quick counterattack after stealing the ball directly hit the 30-meter area of ​​Naples. Lampard passed the ball forward and gave it to Anelka on the outside of the penalty area. The latter turned back and took two steps back. , and distributed the ball to the right.

Belletti stopped the ball in front of him. When Sanchez had no time to follow the defense and retreat, he rushed up quickly. He made a diagonal pass with his right foot and sent the ball to the middle of the small penalty area.

Drogba jumped high, overwhelmed David Luiz and Bonucci, and flicked his head at the goal from close range.

Handanovic fought hard to save and did touch the ball, but unfortunately, the ball still went into the net.

One to zero!

Chelsea have made an excellent start!

The entire Sao Paulo Stadium was stunned.

Scored a goal in just two minutes?

What the hell is going on here?

Could it be that he was really going to be reversed by Chelsea?

Even the commentator in charge of the live broadcast was disappointed with Naples' start.

"The deep formation of troops is too big!"

"Facing a team like Chelsea, facing attackers like Drogba and Anelka, Napoli's defensive players still struggled to cope."

"With two away goals in hand and a two-to-one lead, Naples should actually play more safely."

"But Gao Shen suffers because he is too aggressive."

"Judging from such a start, it is entirely possible for Chelsea to score another goal and directly reverse the total score."

...

The game restarts.

Sure enough, Chelsea did not change its strategy and did not become conservative, but continued to exert pressure on Naples.

After the re-kick-off, Chelsea continued to take the initiative to attack, forming a high pressure on Naples.

Naples also refused to give up an inch, attacking Chelsea's defense whenever they had the opportunity.

In the fifth minute, Di Maria made a high-speed advance with the ball from the right, and was tripped by Mikel in the 30-meter area, giving Naples a free kick in the frontcourt.

Di Maria decisively seized the opportunity of Chelsea's retreat, quickly sent a free kick, and kicked the ball directly to Cavani in front.

The Uruguayan center forward pulled to the right side. After receiving the pass from Di Maria, he stopped and dribbled. He pinned Ashley Cole behind him, dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area, and passed it low and flat. middle road.

I saw Sanchez slanting into the penalty area from the left rib, and before Terry and Alex were in place, he easily pushed with his right foot and sent the ball into Chelsea's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Five minutes! In the fifth minute, Naples successfully equalized the score!"

"One to one!"

"God, both teams are not playing conservatively, they are actively looking for opportunities to attack."

"We saw that both teams were prepared. Chelsea's first attack created a shot and formed a goal, and Napoli's first attack also formed a goal."

"The game is really getting more and more interesting now."

"One to one, the total score of the two sides is three to two, and Naples is still ahead."

...

After scoring a goal each, the two sides did not feel like they were going to quit as soon as they were good, but continued to maintain a confrontational posture.

Obviously, no one is willing to take the initiative to retreat.

But Naples' technical advantages gradually emerged in the game.

With a midfield composed of Thiago Motta, Biglia and Rakitic, coupled with the technical skills of the frontcourt and defense, Naples has a more obvious advantage in passing and controlling the ball, especially when the pace of the game is fast. , the two sides come and go, and after playing more directly, Naples has a higher success rate of passing and receiving.

On the contrary, it was Chelsea. In the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, the technical skills of the Blues players could not guarantee the accuracy of the team's passing and receiving. There were unnecessary mistakes in a row, and Naples seized the opportunity to fight back again and again.

In the twelfth minute, Chelsea made a mistake in a midfield pass, which was seized by Naples and hit the frontcourt with two or three passes, but Chelsea was also well prepared and retreated very quickly.

No way, Naples passed the ball back to the midfield and reorganized.

Chelsea organized three lines of defense within a 30-meter area, increasing the pressure on the Naples midfielder.

When the ball fell to Lichtsteiner, Chelsea put pressure on the left side at the same time, but Bonucci made some adjustments after receiving the ball, and directly transferred the ball with a long pass to his left. .

I saw Vargas go forward quickly, and stopped Bonucci's long pass with his chest at the left corner of the Chelsea penalty area. Before Belletti posted it, the Peruvian left back quickly slid the ball to the baseline. And sent a cross.

The front point was Sanchez, which attracted Chelsea's defensive attention.

Cavani, who was originally in the middle, suddenly crossed the back when he was going forward, caught up with Vargas' pass, and squeezed away Alex during the scramble. The ball headed a close point and directly headed the ball into the right side of Chelsea's goal.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech was positioned to the left and was beyond the reach of this goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the twelfth minute, Cavani made another victory!"

"Two to one, Naples reversed the score again!"

"Gao Shen's aggressive offensive tactics, although he conceded a goal at the beginning, he caught Chelsea's mistakes in a row, scored two goals in one breath, reversed the score 2-1, and the total score was 4-2!"

"Chelsea are in a difficult situation now. They have to score two more goals to reverse the total score."

"But for Hiddink, how easy is it?"

"Judging from the first ten minutes of the game, except for the attack at the beginning, Chelsea made a lot of mistakes, which led to Naples' frequent counterattacks."

"Gao Shen has clearly seized the initiative at the tactical level, he really deserves to be a genius young marshal!"

...

Gao Shen didn't hear the inconsistent commentary from the commentator on the sidelines. He was applauding the players' performance and celebrating the goal at the same time.

Another two to one lead, but this result is not safe.

As long as Chelsea score two goals, the aggregate score becomes four to four, but Chelsea have three away goals and they can advance.

So Gao Shen is also very curious, will Hiddink choose to attack in the current situation?

Chelsea's players scored a goal first, but after being reversed by Naples with two goals in a row, can they still play a threatening offense?
