Five Hundred and Five Second Crown

The thirty-seventh round of Serie A.

Naples, which won the Serie A championship two rounds ahead of schedule, once again played with all substitutes, and drew Catania 2-2 in the away game. Gao Shen only arranged three main players to come off the bench in the second half to stimulate the state of the game.

Everyone knows that this game is not taken seriously by Naples at all.

Today's Gao Shen and Naples only have the Champions League final in their eyes.

Inter Milan, which lost the league title, performed earlier. In the away game against Cagliari, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored for Inter Milan in the eighth minute, but then Cagliari scored consecutively. Scored two goals to reverse the score.

In the end, Inter Milan lost 1-2 away to Cagliari.

Gao Shen expressed that he was wronged.

He obviously gave up the game, but the lead was actually expanding instead.

Blame me!

...

The thirty-eighth round of Serie A.

Tonight is also the ceremony for Naples to win the championship.

Gao Shen still played with a full substitute lineup in this game. Even the old captain Montevino started the game, and young players such as Insigne and Verratti also obtained the starting qualifications.

As a result, I don't know if it was stimulated by the upcoming award on behalf of the team, Montevino actually showed his power in the game.

You know, the old captain hasn't played a serious game for three years.

Everyone knows that Gao Shen arranged for him to start this game purely to let him experience the game.

But who would have thought that the old captain showed his might directly, and shot through Verona's goal with a long shot in the opening four minutes.

Gao Shen, Zidane, Carlo, Lucas...

All the coaches in Naples are stupid.

At this moment, Gao Shen even felt a little guilty in his heart.

Could it be that he was obviously a super midfielder with extraordinary strength, but he was crippled by himself?

Is that all?

Do not,

Just three minutes later, another direct pass from Montevino helped Insigne to throw away the attention of the defenders in the frontcourt, and assisted Mertens to score, 2-0!

Gao Shen was really stunned.

"How do I feel, our old captain is so strong!" Gao Shen smiled wryly.

Carlo on the side heard this, coughed heavily, and reminded: "Monte Vino is actually only thirty-one years old."

"Ah?" Gao Shen didn't react for a while.

In his impression, Montevino seems to be very old, so old that he is about to retire, he can only be the mascot of the locker room and the feeling of the logistics captain.

Unexpectedly, he was only thirty-one years old.

Okay I'm sorry!

Gao Shen waved his hand in embarrassment, he really ignored this point.

Stereotypes kill people!

Then, in the 18th minute, Dossena sent an assist and Insigne scored for Naples to make it 3-0.

After that, Verona began to switch to a comprehensive defense, and Naples also had enough.

In the end, Naples defeated Verona 3-0 at home, and Montevino won the best of the game.

This made the entire St. Paul Stadium fans excited.

They really haven't seen the old... no, it's the captain's such a tough side.

For a long time, Montevino has played more of the role of mascot and logistics captain. He didn't expect that after starting today, he would create two goals at once. It's incredible!

But in the following most of the time, Montevino's shortcomings were actually exposed.

Verratti is still a little immature in the midfield. His passing and skills are good, but the heat is not enough.

The 3-0 defeat of Verona made the atmosphere of Naples' subsequent award ceremony even more enthusiastic.

Since the Champions League final will be in four days, under Gao Shen's request, Naples did not arrange a parade. Instead, after receiving the awards, Montevino led the whole team to parade around the stadium holding two championship trophies.

…………

…………

After celebrating at the San Paolo Stadium, the team returned to Castel Volturno.

The players were dismissed on the spot, but the coaching staff had to stay and work overtime.

In the coach's office, Gao Shen and everyone watched the recently concluded Copa del Rey final, the match between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao.

Lucas personally took Sarri and the scouts to the Mestagna Stadium to watch the game live and made very detailed records. They then analyzed the game with Gao Shen and his colleagues based on what they learned on the spot. The game, study the tactics against Barcelona.

From the perspective of Athletic Bilbao's strategy, the Basque Lions can be said to be a success, but it can also be regarded as a failure.

The reason why it is said to be successful is because their tactics are right.

Whether restraining Barcelona or defending Messi, Athletic Bilbao's tactics have been very successful.

But the reason why it is said to be a failure is because the Basque Lions are not strong enough, and at the same time their physical energy is also consumed too much. As a result, in the second half, they fell into trouble early and their tactics were unsustainable. Messi broke free from the cage.

Under such circumstances, Athletic Bilbao did not adjust their tactics in time, which allowed Barcelona to score goals again and again, and finally lost the final 1-4.

From Messi's first goal to the third goal, it took only ten minutes.

This is the importance of on-the-spot command.

A little hesitation, even if it is a few minutes short, will often cause irreversible consequences.

Gao Shen first listened to everyone's opinions, mainly because of Messi's defense and the restrictions on Barcelona's passing and possession system.

Buenaventura believes that Athletic Bilbao has set a good example of failure for Naples. He believes that with Naples' physical fitness and integrity, it can do better than the Basque Lions.

"I discussed this with Antonio and we both agreed that if we implemented this tactic, we could extend the high press to 65 to 70 minutes."

What Buenaventura said was actually a situation where Naples was fully passive, but with Naples' ability, it would definitely not be so passive.

Therefore, in general, Naples will not have a big physical problem when facing Barcelona. This is Naples' advantage.

The real problem is Messi.

Whether Iniesta's dribbling or Xavi's organization and passing, they can all be contained and resolved, but Messi is the most troublesome and difficult to defend in this Barcelona lineup.

Especially when Guardiola put him in the middle.

More importantly, the two wings are Henry and Eto'o.

Messi retreats and advances on both wings. This is the conventional tactic of Barcelona's offense.

In fact, sometimes, Barcelona is playing a four-four-two midfield diamond position, Messi is the midfielder, Henry and Eto'o are double forwards, but the two forwards are more active on the sides and ribs.

How to prevent?

this is a big problem.

"Caparos uses a double defensive midfielder. Harvey Martinez and Orbais basically protect the front of the penalty area. After Messi retreats, one of them will always follow up to prevent him from relaxing. Play." Lucas analyzed.

Naples played four-three-three, with Thiago Mota as the single midfielder. If Messi retreated, one-on-one, Thiago Motta might not be able to defend Messi.

Of course, if he can form a linkage with David Luiz and Bonucci behind him, there is a chance.

But in this way, the defense against Henry and Eto'o on the two wings also needs to be considered.

These two players are extremely strong in personal ability.

Henry's current speed is actually not as good as before, but his movement on the left and left flank is still very threatening.

Everyone expresses their own opinions and come up with some of their own ideas for analysis and discussion. Even Sarri, who is not a member of the regular coaching staff, has gained a lot in the King's Cup final and has a lot of experience.

"There is one more person who must be taken seriously."

Gao Shen waited until the assistants had expressed their opinions before he spoke.

"Yaya Toure," Zidane said.

Gao Shen glanced at the Frenchman, smiled, and nodded approvingly.

Zidane knows him very well and has a very keen tactical sense, as early as when he played in Real Madrid.

"Barcelona's first goal was scored by Yaya Toure through three players in a row. His timing of his back-in was very good, and the line was just right, so he either didn't get in, and he got in. It is easy to pose a threat." Zidane analyzed.

Three people in a row, and it was a long-distance back plug, this is no joke.

The player Yaya Toure also performed very well in Barcelona.

In Gao Shen's previous life, many people said that he went to Manchester City after being squeezed out by Busquets.

This statement is not comprehensive.

Yaya Toure's performance in Barcelona is really eye-catching, as it was in the previous life, and it is the same now.

Even under Guardiola's coaching, he can still get a lot of playing opportunities. This season, he has played more than Busquets, but Guardiola's use of him is not in his best midfielder position. superior.

As for why he went to Manchester City later?

In fact, a very important point is that he was not happy playing, and that Manchester City paid a lot of money.

This creates a new question, why is he not having fun? Why did Guardiola use Busquets instead of Yaya Toure in the midfielder position?

The answer is actually very simple, because Yaya Toure is not a four player.

Just from the analysis of Zidane's analysis of the goal from the back.

Judging from the results, everyone will be impressed by Yaya Toure's goal and marvel at him, because it is simply great!

But from a head coach's point of view, it's very problematic.

A central defender, from time to time, suddenly, sees an opportunity, and dribbles the ball in. What do you do with the defense?

And everyone knows that the biggest problem for Barcelona now is actually defense.

Barcelona has no shortage of offense and passing, but its defense is relatively weak.

As Gao Shen said before, Barcelona's No. 4 position is drawn from the central defender. The task is to protect the defense line, and at the same time respond and distribute the ball reasonably.

The most suitable place for Yaya Toure to play as a defensive midfielder is in Manchester City, with an assistant like Fernandinho beside him, so that he has no worries and can release his offensive talent to his heart's content.

But here comes the problem. In today's Barcelona, ​​what is lacking is players like Fernandinho, not Yaya Toure.

so……

"Yaya Toure will be our breakthrough in the Champions League final!" Gao Shen said very confidently.
