Chapter 180： the uninitiated Pellet

"Starting with Real Madrid (

There is a saying that is true, plans often fail to keep up with changes.

Does that mean the plan is useless?

No, this fact tells us that when planning, we must fully consider various variables and leave a margin.

The draw to Juventus was indeed unexpected, but he had also made preparations before, that is, when a team like Lazio was drawn, how should Napoli play?

Even, he has studied, after losing the Coppa Italia, how should the team play?

All of these things have been fully considered by the senior and the coaching staff.

But planning is one thing, taking the game seriously is another.

After the results of the draw came out, the coaching staff began to devote themselves to the preparations against time.

It's a tough fight!

A tough battle related to the morale of the start of the new season of Serie B!

What's more, there is also a personal feud between Naples and Seco.

After getting the results, Gao Shen immediately held a meeting of the coaching staff, and everyone had different views on the game.

...

As an intelligence and data analyst, Lucas is the first to start every time.

He introduced the two games of Juventus so far. Naples have arranged for scouts to follow up on the scene and obtained first-hand information, but since there is no game video, the specific situation is not very clear.

After all, scouts have no way of knowing what Gao Shen wants to know.

"In the past two games, Deschamps has adopted two different sets of tactics. The first game was 442 and the second game was 4231."

Having said that, Lucas was on the big screen, showing Juventus' starting lineup for these two games.

Juventus' average age is on the older side, since players like Nedved, Del Piero and Camoranesi are not young, so it is understandable that Deschamps has rotated the game quite a bit.

Using 442 to face Martina in League One is not difficult to understand. Deschamps wants to attack.

Facts have proved that Juventus also scored seven minutes after the opening. Marchionne scored the first official goal of the season and scored the second goal in the 35th minute. Bodinov.

The second game against Cesena, Deschamps adopted a four-two-three formation, the center is Trezeguet, and the three from left to right are Marchionne, Nedved and Bodinov.

It was clear that Deschamps still wanted to attack, so he put Nedved in the attacking midfield position.

Last season, Capello let Nedved play as an attacking midfielder, and even Real Madrid scored a goal in Juventus. It was to take advantage of the loophole that Nedved played as a left midfielder who often appeared in the attacking midfielder position, and then scored. of.

But this time the effect was far from ideal.

An own goal was conceded in the first half, scored by Juventus left-back Barzaretti.

It was not until the second half that Bojinov and Del Piero, who came off the bench, reversed the score for Juventus, which was a thrilling promotion.

"From the perspective of two games, Juventus' tactics are inclined to attack, even in the second game, so his center used Trezeguet to pull Bodinov to the side." Lucas analysis road.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

Juventus was punished and relegated as the Serie A champion. Although a lot of main players have gone away, the foundation is still there. They don't pay much attention to the middle and lower Serie B teams like Cesena.

But who would have thought that Cesena almost capsized in the gutter.

"It's not hard to think that Juventus has had problems attacking from the start of last season until now."

Lucas showed several pieces of information he had collected on the big screen, mainly related news.

"After Deschamps coached Juventus, he always wanted to introduce forwards and attacking midfielders, but Zanetti and Marchionne came."

These two players are not bad, but neither is the kind of player Deschamps wants.

"During the match against Cesena, Deschamps even let Marchionne play as a left winger on the right, and the effect was not ideal, so he replaced Marchionne with Piero, and in less than a minute, Piero Ronaldo scored in the Piero area."

There must be some chance of scoring goals in football games, but more of them are inevitable.

"So, I think, Juventus' offense is still very problematic, and we have a chance." Lucas concluded.

Gao Shen sat in the backmost position, resting his chin on the arm of the office chair with one hand, and playing with the pen in his hand with the other, but his eyes were always on Lucas and the screen, obviously listening intently.

This is the habit of thinking deeply about problems. We have cooperated with him for a long time at the scene, and everyone knows it well.

After Lucas finished speaking, Carlo was the chief assistant coach, and he also stood up to express his opinion.

"Deschamps is still a very strong coach. It is not difficult to see his characteristics from his coaching over the years. He was born in a defensive midfielder. He tends to defend well, control the scene, and then play quick counterattack ."

"Back then in Monaco, he relied on this style of play to get to the Champions League final, but unfortunately, he encountered a Porto with a better defense, and in the Monaco team that year, there were both Morente. A centre-forward like Santiago, but mainly a speed player like Giuli."

Carlo was born in Real Madrid, and was particularly impressed by the Monaco team that Deschamps trained in that year, because Morientes shined in that season, which made many Real Madrid people sigh.

"Looking at Juventus now, although there are high centers like Morientes, there is no speed player like Giuli, and there is no assist player like Rotten."

Many people praised Porto for Mourinho's training, thinking that Mourinho has trained a group of outstanding players, but in fact, Deschamps' Monaco team is also good.

There are players such as Morientes, Adebayor, Pussau, etc. in the center position, as well as attackers such as Giuli and Rotten, and there are also masters such as Squillage and Evra in the back line.

In terms of success rate, the Monaco that year was not bad at all.

The only difference is that Monaco is the runner-up.

It's a very real world where everyone will only remember the champion and no one will care about the runner-up.

In fact, Deschamps' coaching style has not changed much. Including the later coaching of the French national team, he mainly focuses on solid defense, supplemented by fast and sharp counterattacks. Mbappe is in his style of play. It shines brightly, like a duck in water.

Against Cesena, Deschamps made it clear that he wanted to press up to attack and play Trezeguet's advantage in the penalty area.

But the effect has also been seen, which is not ideal.

So, what tactics will Juventus adopt when facing Napoli?

The pen in Gao Shen's hand just fell onto the table.

With a bang, the sudden movement caused everyone in the conference room to turn their heads and look over.

"Deschamps will fight back!" Gao Shen said confidently.

"If he doesn't want to play defense, we will force him to play defense!"

...

After the final decision was made at a high level, many things unfolded immediately.

In only two days, Naples can organize a targeted exercise, and also take a class to train the six-to-seven previously arranged by Gao Shen, which is a long-term task.

Naples' defense is based on pressing and pressing from a high position. If they can't even do this, and the opponent counterattacks one by one, then the team doesn't have to play.

As for the targeted defense against Juventus, there is actually nothing to say, it is to practice offense.

But the height needs to be adjusted.

"Use Pellet!" said Gao Shen.

"Cavani really performed very well, but he needs space to move. When there is space, he is very useful, and he is very hard-working. Quickly hitting the defense line is his specialty, but as a fulcrum and support, it is still necessary to Perry."

Carlo nodded in agreement, "But this kid Pellet hasn't come to his senses."

This is also a big problem.

In the earliest days, Pellet appeared as a high center.

Anyone who is familiar with football knows that a tall and strong high center is definitely a killer in the youth team, not to mention Pellet's footwork and skills are quite good.

But as he got older, when his physical advantages became less obvious, especially when he reached a more defensive age group, Pellet's development encountered a bottleneck, and he found that the style of play he was best at didn't work. .

How to do?

This is the reason why Pellet has been confused and stagnant in development these years.

Unfortunately, the Italian head coach is also not good at coaching this type of player Because Italy itself is not good at using this kind of player, the players with characteristics similar to Pellet in the past have basically transformed.

But this kid's height and strength are irresistible, so he wasted it like that.

After coming to Naples, Gao Shen talked to him many times. He even told Pellet to learn from Kluivert and see how he played in Ajax. Cass edited a clip of Kluivert's Ajax game for Pellet to learn from, but the kid still hasn't turned the corner.

There are some habits that have been cultivated since childhood that are really not so easy to change.

"I told him personally." Gao Shen frowned.

When at Real Madrid, where did he need to train players?

Those are the best stars, even young players, the elite of the elite.

Many times, as soon as Gao Shen said it, they understood.

Even young players like Abeloa and De La Reid have been receiving the best youth training, and their personal abilities have basically been developed. Everyone has a clear understanding of their own characteristics and abilities. cognition.

In this case, what Gao Shen needs to do is to use them according to their characteristics and let them play.

But Italy's youth training in recent years has indeed been too bad, and Pellet is an absolute alternative among Italian centers.

At this time, Gao Shen is really at a loss, and he doesn't know where to start.

After the meeting, the coaches went back to prepare.

Time is limited and everyone has to race against time.

Gao Shen stayed in the conference room, pondered over and over, and finally hid directly in the tactics library. He just wanted to see how Van Gaal trained Kluivert?
