Six Hundred and Eightieth Generals at Odds

"Gao, to be honest, only at this time will you want to come back!"

In the grandstand of the San Paolo Stadium in Naples, Italy, Gao Shen took Lucas and Sarri, sitting next to Naples chairman De Laurentiis and general manager Marino.

The two giants in Naples are very respectful and polite to Gao Shen.

Not for anything else, just because the starting lineup of Naples tonight is basically from the hands of masters.

Including the two full-backs who just joined this summer, Alex Sandro and Danilo.

This is the seventh round of Serie A, Naples vs. Inter Milan at home.

At the same time, it is also the battle for the top spot in Serie A.

Naples performed very well this season. Even if they lost the core midfielder Parejo, the overall strength of the team is still very strong, and Inter Milan is also ready to fight, not daring to be careless.

Allegri formed a 442 formation for Naples, with a diamond-shaped midfielder.

Vidal, Nainggolan, Hamsik and Pastore, this is the main midfielder of Naples this season, while the striker is a combination of Callejon and Cavani.

Inter Milan is based on Leonardo's iconic 4213 formation.

Although the home game against Manchester City will be held on Wednesday, Leonardo still plays the main role in the game.

He really can't help it, after all, this is a battle for the top of the list, which is related to the league trend of the two teams.

Especially during Gao Shen's coaching period, the grievances between Naples and Inter Milan were quite deep.

"How is Inter Milan doing this season?" Gao Shen asked with concern.

Both De Laurentiis and Marino knew very well that the reason why Gao Shen came to Naples was because he wanted to watch an Inter Milan game, which was the final match of this round of Serie A, the grand finale.

"I think it's hard to go far," Marino replied.

"How to say?"

"Leonardo's team played really well, the style of play is very exciting, but the defense is not good. After the overall age of the team, many things have to change. For example, it is difficult for the central defender to keep up with the team Rhythm,

The double defensive midfielders of Cambiasso and Zanetti are not strong enough. "

Listening to Marino's introduction and analysis, he thought deeply about Allegri's formation.

Not to mention, Naples' midfield is still pretty tough.

Especially Vidal, Nainggolan and Hamsik, the three Matt-killing Mohawk midfielders, are very tough.

Pastore is known as the new Kaka, and he is a good player with the ball.

Allegri obviously wants to take advantage of the midfield to suppress Inter Milan.

...

To everyone's surprise, the start whistle for the game had just sounded less than a minute ago.

Strictly speaking, it should have only been around 20 seconds. Naples' first attack, the first shot, Cavani pierced through Cesar's goal.

The Uruguayan center's long shot from the outside of the penalty area was like a shocking stone, prying open Inter Milan's goal.

This made Gao Shen excitedly stand up in the stands.

"Hey, this kid has improved a lot, right?" De Laurentiis asked proudly.

Is this a player?

No, what the Germans see in their eyes is clearly the euro.

The more Cavani scores, the more euros are plastered on his body.

Nod deeply.

Facts have proved that it is really wise for him to choose Allegri to succeed him. Although Cavani's progress is following Gao Shen's career development plan for him, Allegri's help and use are equally important.

The opening goal was scored in less than a minute, which completely disrupted the rhythm of the two teams on the field.

Inter Milan began to try to attack, while Naples focused on defense, and the midfielder mainly suppressed Inter Milan's midfield pass and penetration.

Inter Milan's three midfielders really can't take advantage of Naples' four midfielders.

Especially the two savage players, Nainggolan and Vidal, caused a mess in Inter Milan's midfield.

However, neither side was able to score again.

Until the 62nd minute of the second half, Danilo from the right side quickly moved forward along the right side. After getting the ball, he crossed diagonally into the penalty area. Cavani overwhelmed Qiwu and hit the goal with a header to expand the score again. , I also scored twice.

In the 82nd minute, after Pastore got rid of a stop, he dribbled forward and assisted Mertens, who came off the bench, to score a goal, extending the score to 3-0.

Throughout the game, Inter Milan's midfielder was under the pressure of Naples, unable to organize and plan an effective attack.

Gao Shen was in the stands, watching the game in the stadium and looking at the score. He had to say that Inter Milan was not as strong as he imagined.

Leonardo's on-the-spot command is still too bad.

It can be said that it was accidental to concede the goal in the opening minute, but then Inter Milan did not make strong adjustments throughout the first half, even during the intermission, which is enough to prove that Leonardo is really helpless .

"Let me give you a message." De Laurentiis said with a laugh.

The game is about to end, Naples defeated Inter Milan 3-0 and will soon take the lead.

Relying on the lineup left by Gao Shen, Naples has a good chance to compete for the Serie A championship this season.

De Laurentiis also reciprocated.

"Let's listen to it." Gao Shen said with great interest.

There are still a lot of gossip about De Laurentiis, after all, he is in the entertainment industry.

It's hard to say anything else, but gossip news and the like are a piece of cake for him.

"Leonardo and Cambiasso are at odds."

Gao Shen froze for a moment, "Are you sure?"

Cambiasso is the main midfielder of Inter Milan, the two are at odds?

"One hundred percent, because the two of them had a fierce quarrel and have not yet reconciled."

"Why are you arguing?"

"I heard it's because of the formation." De Laurentiis wasn't sure about this either.

Many things happen behind closed doors and in the locker room. It is difficult for outsiders to know the specific details, and more can only be guessed.

"Did you hear what Bergomi said?"

Gao Shen nodded, just to let Leonardo learn from Mourinho and pay more attention to defense.

Although Leonardo did not name him, many people said that he was accusing Bergomi of his reply.

"Cambiaso supports Bergomi, he thinks the team's tactics are too aggressive, Leonardo often uses Cambiasso and Zanetti to play double midfielders, but this is obviously too thin. "

"Sometimes, Leonardo will play Stankovic and play in the third midfielder, but he will put Stankovic in the center and Cambiasso on the wings. The Argentine is very uncomfortable with this."

Gao Shen understood what De Laurentiis said.

To put it bluntly, there were conflicts and contradictions between the head coach's formation and the actual game of the players.

As an actual participant in the game, Cambiasso estimates that he will feel more deeply than Leonardo. He feels that the midfielder composed of himself and Zanetti, two veterans, has the same strength in terms of competition intensity and running ability. Obviously insufficient.

Moreover, the two are not tall, and their strength is not strong, which is especially disadvantageous when they encounter many teams.

Cambiasso wants the head coach to adjust his style of play, which is actually quite normal.

There are actually many accusations against Leonardo, the most important of which is his poor defensive organization.

Of course, from the perspective of record, Inter Milan still performed very well, especially in Serie A.

But everyone also knows that Serie A has always attached great importance to defense.

For Leonardo's tactic of conceding 1.5 goals per game, it is indeed difficult to satisfy Serie A fans.

Gao Shen was thinking, while observing the situation of Inter Milan on the pitch and the players' positions.

He still doesn't know for the time being whether Leonardo will use a double midfielder or a three midfielder, but no matter what, when facing Manchester City, Inter Milan's midfielder should not want to take advantage of it.

David Silva, Rakitic and Harvey Martinez, the three midfielders Gao Shen created for Manchester City, are outstanding in terms of characteristics and personal abilities.

Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in the Champions League group stage so far.

"Tonight, Leonardo let Qiwu play as a central defender. The purpose is to let Lucio and Samuel take turns. They are both Brazil and Argentina internationals. When it comes to the game in the middle of the week, Qiwu should play on the left. "Marino analyzed.

Chivu, Samuel, Lucio and Maicon.

Not to mention anything else, just this line of defense, even in the current European football, can be regarded as famous.

But Gao Shen doesn't know whether it will still be like this after playing this Champions League.

"In the midfield, you guys must have the upper hand, and you know it very well, but in the frontcourt, you have to be careful with the Brazilian teenager Coutinho, this kid is still very capable." Marino reminded.

Gao Shen nodded, of course he knew what Coutinho was capable of.

But this Brazilian teenager is still struggling to prove himself in Inter Milan. Who would have thought that he would not get a chance in Inter Milan in the future, go to Liverpool, and then make a name for himself, and move to Barcelona at a sky-high price?

However, this in turn proves that Coutinho is still a very capable player.

"The other is the teenager Thornton. He can play both left and right. Many people like to compare him with Zambrotta. Be careful then."

Thornton is indeed very popular now, but the native Italian teenager failed to meet the expectations of the outside world in the end.

To put it bluntly, the development of young players is really difficult to figure out and predict.

"I hope that Thornton will start first, so that we can save a lot of worry." Gao Shen said with a smile.

What a shrewd person Marino is, he captured important information at once.

"It seems that you are planning to play on the side."

As early as when Naples coached, Gao Shen was known for his side attack.

Despite Allegri's emphasis on the central midfield, Napoli's flanks are still very strong.

If Leonardo faces Manchester City with a 4312 formation with three midfielders, Manchester City will completely dominate that side.

And even if Leonardo doesn't use three midfielders, Gao Shen will work hard to create one-on-one opportunities for wingers on the wing.

With the abilities of Robben and Gareth Bale, Gao Shen believes that they can both open a channel for Manchester City and open up a new situation.

Just like tonight, Cavani's goal in the opening 20 seconds!
