Four Hundred and Seventy-Six Semi-Finals, Here We Come!

Guardiola said that his coaching has been influenced by many profound.

This is true at the technical and tactical level, as is the locker room management level.

For example, after he coached Barcelona, ​​the first thing he did was to clean up the locker room and cancel many original regulations.

Because during Rijkaard's coaching period, many regulations existed in name only, so it would be better to abolish them.

There is another one that caused great controversy, that is, he canceled the centralized accommodation on the eve of the game.

In the past, on the eve of a game, whether it was a home game or an away game, players basically had to collectively stay in a hotel arranged by the team or a training base. The advantage of this is that it is easy to manage.

After all, when the players are at home, many things are difficult to control, such as married life and so on, which can easily affect the next day's game.

But Guardiola abolished this one.

reason?

"Gao Shen abolished it when he coached Real Madrid, and later when he coached Naples, but he didn't see his team performing poorly. Instead, it was through the self-discipline of the players and the trust in them that they became Be more disciplined."

Many things of Guardiola are very similar to Gao Shen, so many people say that he is Gao Shen's direct disciple.

Gao Shen himself has repeatedly denied this statement. He repeatedly stated that Guardiola is a very, very good genius coach, always thinking and summarizing and analyzing by himself, and no one is his master.

But Guardiola himself has said many times that he has learned a lot from Gao Shen, and even acquiesced to the outside world.

This is where things get interesting.

Naples' away game against Arsenal happened to be the eve of Barcelona's home game against Bayern. Guardiola, assistant coach Vilanova and others all watched the live broadcast in Gamper Sports City in Barcelona.

Originally, they expected to see a wonderful duel, but the result...

...

When the game progressed to the 22nd minute, Arsenal got the ball in the backcourt and kicked back and forth.

Naples slowed down their offensive and rhythm appropriately, and did not rush forward to press, but maintained the overall oppressive formation.

After going back and forth several times, the Gunners still failed to find a way to pass the ball forward. Gallas saw the opportunity,

He dribbled the ball forward for a certain distance and sent a direct pass.

In the front, Adebayor retreated to a very deep position, received the ball with his back, and passed the ball back to the defense line. It was given to Kolo Touré, and the ball returned to Arsenal's defense line again. .

Kolo Toure met the ball, rushed forward quickly, and dribbled the ball across the center line. Seeing that Adebayor returned to the 30-meter area, he immediately sent a direct pass and called Adebayor Make an appointment.

The Gunners striker was racing forward, but Thiago Motta kept close to him, which prevented him from having a chance, and he had to turn back again to stop Kolo Touré's pass to Walcott on the right flank.

The little tiger started with the ball, cut to the middle, and sent a direct pass to the feet of Van Persie in the penalty area.

When Van Persie stopped the ball with his back, he tried to squeeze David Luiz behind him with his body, but he didn't squeeze, but he was bounced out. When he stopped the ball and turned around, his movements were not well connected, and the Brazilian central defender reacted quickly enough , blocked in time, causing Van Persie to miss a good chance to hit the goal with a kick in the penalty area.

Protecting the ball in the penalty area and constantly dribbling the ball to the right, he had no choice but to pass it back to Sagna on the outside.

At this moment, Arsenal's right back has almost reached the bottom line.

Sagna stopped the ball, dunked Vargas, took a step back, and passed the ball with his left foot, but the ball was blocked by Biglia as soon as the ball was passed, and the pass could not be passed to the middle.

Naples quickly grabbed the landing point and launched a quick counterattack again.

Almost every quick counterattack by Naples will pose a threat and make Arsenal break out in a cold sweat.

...

"Arsenal is in a hurry!"

Guardiola shook his head. He felt that he knew the result of this game without watching it.

Vilanova agrees, "The players are also very anxious, Wenger did not stabilize the team in time."

"He is also in a difficult situation now. He conceded two goals at home. He can't attack, and he can't score." Guardiola smiled wryly.

"You all think that Mourinho, Capello, and Hiddink are all excellent defensive masters, but let me tell you, the ability to train defense in depth is also extremely strong and very targeted."

Everyone is silent.

Back then, when Gao Shen coached Real Madrid, he relied on his fame, and his housekeeping weapon to win the double crown was defensive counterattack.

"Arsenal's biggest problem is in the midfield." Guardiola was obviously disappointed with Arsenal's performance.

"Look at the attack just now, how many times the four players in the back line turned back and forth. The four players in the midfield, especially Song and Cesc Fabregas in the middle, unexpectedly none of them came back to respond, and they all pressed up."

"On the one hand, they are anxious. On the other hand, it can be seen that their running and receiving system is problematic. There is no fixed receiving point in the fourth position, and the advancement of the ball will definitely be affected. In the end, Adebayor ran back from the front, responded in the fourth position, and after a transition, Adebayor ran forward to receive the ball in the 30-meter zone."

This attack is very representative.

Adebayor is working hard, and the Arsenal players are in a hurry, but what is more important is the position and division of labor of the players.

"Sagna and Clichy both pressed very forward, but the midfielder couldn't hold the ball, and they couldn't effectively delay it when they were counterattacked. As a result, Naples grabbed the ball and counterattacked without hesitation. For central defenders, it is naturally a one-on-one accuracy."

Just as I was talking, I saw Arsenal organize an attack again.

I still want to play on the side of the little tiger on the right.

Walcott dribbled the ball obliquely into the penalty area, giving way to the entire right, and then inserted it to Sagna.

But when the little tiger rushed to the front of the penalty area with the ball, he was double-teamed by Naples players.

Thiago Motta and Biglia, as well as Vargas who suddenly gave up Sagna and rushed to double-team, the three of them imprisoned Walcott at the same time and successfully intercepted the ball.

Walcott fell at the front of the penalty area, but the referee did not signal a foul and did not blow his whistle.

Naples quickly launched a counterattack and quickly passed the ball to Sanchez in front.

Fabregas caught up with Sanchez at the first time, but the Chilean winger saw that the quick counterattack in front could not be played, and immediately passed the ball across to the unguarded Rakitic, allowing the midfielder to reorganize.

Rakitic stopped the ball and passed it to Cavani who dropped back in front. The Uruguayan center passed back to Biglia, who passed it back to Thiago Motta.

With consecutive one-kick passes, Arsenal's counter-grab failed and they were forced to settle down.

But without waiting for Arsenal's players to return to their positions, Thiago Motta immediately launched another attack.

Vargas moved forward decisively and formed a one-two with Sanchez in the middle. He still failed to open the situation on the left and was forced to pass the ball back to the middle.

The Arsenal players did not settle down, but started pressing near the halfway line.

Naples made another continuous pass, Biglia passed to Rakitic, who passed back to Thiago Motta, and the Brazilian midfielder passed back to the unguarded Biglia.

After the Argentine midfielder stopped the ball, he glanced ahead and quickly sent a low and long pass over the top, directly to the left behind Arsenal's defense.

I saw Sanchez sprinting at the fastest speed, catching up with Biglia's long pass before Sagna.

"No offside!"

"Another quick counterattack from Napoli!"

"Sanchez was not offside, and dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area!"

Sanchez dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the left corner. Facing Kolo Touré's defense, the Chilean winger made a continuous feint. After Luo Touré, he pulled his right foot horizontally, and lightly stepped on the outer instep. After adjusting, he caught up with his right foot and hit a curve ball directly.

This shot came a bit suddenly, but the ball was extremely fast and the angle was very tricky.

Arsenal's Spanish goalkeeper Almunia has made two or three very good saves tonight, and this time he reacted quickly and flew sideways, but Sanchez cut in from the left and volleyed with his right foot. The upper right corner of the pocket is really tricky.

Almunia can do nothing!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Three to zero!"

"God, less than half an hour, three to zero!"

"Naples really played crazy tonight!"

"Gao Shen led his team to an almost perfect first half at the Emirates Stadium!"

"Three to zero! I'm afraid Wenger himself didn't expect that his team would suffer such a disastrous defeat."

"The Gunners played too fast and the midfield was completely out of control."

"Perhaps, Wenger should not adopt the four-four-two tactics, but should choose four-two-three-one, let Song and Denilson form a double midfielder, so that the protection of the defense will be stronger."

"In the four-four-two tactic, Song and Fabregas are often out of position, which is a very big hidden danger."

"There is also the problem of defensive positioning and transition. This is an old problem that has been around for a long time."

"Facing a weaker team with poor passing and cutting ability, Arsenal can create some troubles by putting pressure in the midfield, but facing a team like Naples, not only has superior passing and cutting ability, but also the overall strength is lower than that of Naples. Arsenal were the better team, and the Gunners' problems were exposed immediately."

"Yes, many people may not want to believe it, but judging from the performance in the first half tonight, Naples is indeed stronger than Arsenal, and the sophisticated and pragmatic tactics also make Naples' defense very stable."

"So far, the Gunners have not even had any real threatening shooting opportunities. All offensive lines are blocked to death. This is obviously not a good thing."

...

When Sanchez scored the third goal, Gao Shen raised his hands above his head and clapped vigorously. At the same time, he seemed to be stretching. He was grinning from ear to ear.

Three to zero!

This game is stable!

In fact, he has always been confident in this game.

Especially when the player's condition has been adjusted quite well and his physical fitness has not been affected too much, he is even more determined to win!

"Three to zero!"

Gao Shen turned around and smiled cheerfully towards Zidane and the others.

"Semifinals, here we come!"
