Three Hundred and Forty-One Old Monsters in Full Swing

It was already noon when we returned to Naples from Madrid.

The morning training is in charge of Carlo Pintus and others, and Gao Shen is also very relieved.

After the lunch break, the coaching staff held a meeting, and Gao Shen mentioned the game last night.

"There are two people who must pay attention."

Gao Shen turned around and drew two circles on the tactical board behind him, which happened to circle two numbers.

Aquilani's No. 8, Vucinic's No. 9.

"Aquilani's performance left a deep impression on me. This midfielder is now the core of Roma's midfield. His performance is very stable and he has made great contributions to the Rossoneri. He must be strangled, otherwise If not, the game will not be played well.”

"Using Hamsik?" Carlo asked tentatively.

Gao Shen shook his head, "It's not enough, use Vidal."

Many people have misunderstood Hamsik, thinking that this kid has a mohawk hairstyle and tattoos, and he looks rough. In fact, he is not the kind of guy with a rough style of play, so I have to say dirty If you want to live, you still have to Vidal or Nainggolan.

"Mancini didn't perform very well against Real Madrid. Instead, after Vucinic came on, Roma's offense played more alive. Sacchi said in the column that Vucinic looked like It's Van Basten, the difference is that he's not good at all, so we have to pay attention to him."

Everyone nodded and immediately recorded the profound words.

"Toneto is injured. I guess, Panucci should be used to play on the right and Cicinho to the left. It is not the first time that Cicinho has played as a left back. I believe Spalletti should will do so."

In this way, what Gao Shen guessed, the starting lineup of the Roma team is very clear.

Goalkeeper: Dhoni.

Defense: Cicinho, Juan, Mexes and Panucci.

Midfielder: Aquilani and De Rossi are the double midfielders, and Vucinic, Perotta and Taddei are in front.

Forward: Totti.

"We need one person to limit Perotta, let Thiago Mota play, change into four, three, three, and the other midfielder uses Biglia." After pondering for a while, Gao Shen made a decision.

Naples is now able to use the two tactical formations of 4231 and 433 very skillfully, and the depth is also based on different situations and different opponents. Different tactics are adopted.

Sometimes, in the same game, the team can switch from 4231 to 433.

Things like tactical formation are dead, but the running and positioning of players on the court are flexible and changeable, which can only serve as a reference.

"Roma's tactic is to like to press high and press, but they are not very fast themselves."

Finally, Gao Shen made a summary of the opponents in this game.

"In the game against Real Madrid in the middle of the week, their players tried their best. This will definitely affect them in the weekend league, while we are sitting at home and recharging our energy."

When Gao Shen said this, the meaning was already very obvious.

Naples, who are playing at home, will not leave the slightest chance for Rome, but will suppress Rome from the beginning.

Whether it's Mancini, Vucinic, or Taddei, Totti and Perotta, they are not fast.

With the speed of Napoli's defensive players, there is no problem dealing with them.

So the advanced strategy is to suppress Rome and keep them away from Naples' goal.

counterattack?

There has to be speed.

Under this general tactical framework, the Roma players will be targeted and suppressed, so as to contain Roma's organization and offense.

"By the way, Totti should pay special attention." At the end, Lucas reminded.

Gao Shen was a little surprised. As the captain of Roma, Totti has always been the focus of attention.

"This game against us is his 500th game for Roma," Lucas explained.

Gao Shen didn't know what to say.

Totti is a player he admires very much. It is really quite difficult to achieve his level in today's football environment, especially considering that Roma itself is not that kind of super giant. It is impossible to do without deep feelings.

You know, a few years ago, Real Madrid wanted to win Totti, but he insisted on not leaving.

Five hundred games is indeed a memorable node.

"Well, it's okay, let's talk about him first. Winning is the most important thing. Anyway, he still has 600 and 700 games." Gao Shen just hesitated, and decisively issued a kill order.

Lucas and the others were taken aback.

It's understandable to fuck him, but there are still six hundred and seven hundred games, what does this mean?

Totti is almost thirty-two years old.

Could it be that he can still mix up to 600 and 700 games?

how can that be?

Seeing the astonishment of the assistants, Gao Shen felt sour.

No wonder, now in 2008, who would believe that Totti can play for so long?

If he remembered correctly, it didn't seem to be 800 games, but it was close.

It's scary to think about it, how many games are played in a season, and nearly 300 games will be played, how many years will it take to play?

The three major hardships in Europe are really true!

"Remember, Serie A specializes in producing old monsters. Thirty-two years old is still in full swing." Gao Shen walked out of the conference room with a wry smile.

Maldini, Costacurta, followed by Totti, Zanetti and Buffon... Cod

In fact, this also has a lot to do with the league style of Serie A.

...

In the afternoon of the same day, the coaching staff of Naples immediately made targeted adjustments to the training program according to Gao Shen's requirements.

Since the competition is on Sunday, Thursday is still relatively easy, and the actual volume will not be increased until Friday.

That was the hardest and most tiring day of the week.

On Saturday, it was actually easier again, mainly to stimulate the players' state.

When arranging training, the coaching staff must not only respect the objective laws of the players' bodies, formulate a scientific and reasonable training intensity, but also combine the technical and tactical needs of the team. It can be said that this is also a very valuable job.

Carlo, Buenaventura, Pintus, and Borrell are responsible for these. Relatively speaking, Gao Shen is not good at training, even if it is some of the famous coaches in his tactical library] The cases and the training methods "thought out" can only be put into practice after the arrangement of these four assistants.

Simply put, Gao Shen is the brain, responsible for remote control and mastering the overall situation, while the coaching staff is responsible for specific execution.

This is why, a mature and stable coaching team is so important to a famous coach.

Just like Ferguson, after losing Queiroz, he was really blind, and he was not used to it.

Therefore, when Queiroz dismissed get out of class from Real Madrid, he immediately invited Queiroz back.

But Queiroz is also a real talent. Of course, he was not willing to be Ferguson's assistant all the time, so he later chose to fly solo.

And like Ten Carter, he is also taking advantage of Rijkaard and Barcelona's momentum, and his purpose is also to fly solo.

In contrast, Gao Shen thinks that Carlo is pretty good.

He even considered before that if Carlo chooses to fly solo, he would promote Buenaventura to be an assistant coach to take charge of the overall situation, because there is still a Pintus in terms of physical fitness.

At Gao Shen's current level, it is not only the management of the players, but also the management of the coaching staff, and even the management of the club leadership, which can be described as the meeting point of multiple interests.

And that's just Naples.

If it is in some wealthy teams, the position of the head coach will involve more and greater interests, and every decision made must be cautious, and sometimes even have to make some decisions against one's own wishes.

Gao Shen is very fortunate that he has never encountered such a problem so far.

He hoped that there would be no more in the future.

…………

March 9, afternoon.

In the twenty-seventh round of Serie A, Naples played against Roma at home.

Since the game against Inter Milan, more than 60,000 people have poured into the San Paolo Stadium, and the Naples management did not immediately shrink the expanded capacity of the stadium, but continued to sell more tickets.

The fans are also very happy.

As a result, another 60,000 people flooded into the game.

In terms of fan enthusiasm, Naples is the least to worry about. The San Paolo Stadium has the highest attendance rate and the most enthusiastic home atmosphere in the entire Serie A.

...

Before the opening, Roma beat Naples when guessing the side.

Totti chose the most favorable side of the afternoon game and handed the kick-off to Naples.

At the beginning of the game, Spalletti's team actively pressed forward, pushing the entire defense line forward, with the momentum of directly blocking Naples in the half court.

More than a minute into the game, Totti turned around and got rid of David Luiz when he retreated to respond, and sent a through pass. Perrotta inserted in the back row and received the ball at the front of the penalty area. Kick the door.

But Thiago Motta, who was followed up in time, blocked the shot with a tackle.

Roma's shot failed to threaten Naples' goal.

...

Spalletti stood on the sidelines and created a shot against the team in less than two minutes. Although it failed to pose a threat, it was also very good. He was very satisfied and immediately signaled the team to continue to stabilize and suppress Naples .

But Naples played very patiently at the beginning, especially the defense, which was very organized.

The tacit interaction between Thiago Motta and David Luiz made Totti's retreat lose the biggest threat.

From the fifth minute, Naples began to stabilize their position and gradually pressed Rome back. Especially in the sixth minute, after Vidal intercepted Aquilani in the midfield, he planned a counterattack and went straight to Rome. restricted area.

Although it failed to form a shot, it also shocked everyone into a cold sweat.

This made Spalletti look rather depressed.

The running ability of Naples players is too good, and the strength of players also has their own characteristics.

Gao Shen did not use Hamsik this time, but instead used Vidal to entangle Aquilani, obviously to attack Roma's midfield organization.

The pace of the game began to accelerate, and the two sides launched a fierce strangulation in the midfield, and no one was willing to back down.

But Naples' speed made Roma very afraid, not daring to leave too much space behind them.

As a last resort, Rome could only gradually retreat.

The situation is gradually tilting towards the favorable side of Naples, but Rome is obviously different from Inter Milan, they can keep up with the rhythm of Naples.

Gao Shen waited patiently.

He also hides a killer trick.
