The so-called winter break does not actually mean that the team is resting during this time.
Although Serie A is not like the Premier League, it ushered in a more intensive and compact schedule around Christmas, but after Christmas, the team also began to organize training camps. In the case of limited financial resources, they still chose to stay in Volto. Norburg. . .
During the training camp, Gao Shen and his assistants were studying and discussing the next match between Naples and Roma every day.
The Red Wolves' head coach, Spalletti, adopted the so-called pack tactic for the team.
In fact, each team's tactics have certain inheritance.
Just like the current Real Madrid, the Real Madrid coached by Capello, has a deep and profound imprint, so many people questioned Capello, thinking that he failed to get out of the shadow of the deep and did not show the strength of a famous coach.
But they never thought that people are basically the same people. They have achieved great success during their coaching at Gaoshen, and both their personal abilities and technical characteristics have been brought into full play.
After Capello replaces Gao Shen, he must absorb these strengths and advantages of him, that is, to continue to exert the characteristics and abilities of these people, how much can the tactics change?
The biggest difference between Gao Shen coaching Naples is that he completely overturned the framework of the entire team and started from scratch to create a team that is completely his own.
It is completely conceivable that when Gao Shen leaves Naples one day in the future, the person who takes over will still be in the shadow of Gao Shen, because he must inherit Gao Shen's "legacy", and the club will not allow him to overthrow and rebuild.
In the same way, there is actually a context to follow when studying the tactical heritage of Rome.
During Capello's coaching, Roma won a Serie A championship. Many fans have so far praised Capello's Roma, believing that the team played very proactively, not like Capello at all.
In fact, if you study it in depth, it is still very Capello.
Why?
At Capello's peak, Roma adopted a three-five-two strategy. At that time, three backs were still very popular in Serie A.
Three defenders, four midfielders, Totti and two forwards in front, the main force is Batistuta, the other may be the small plane Montella, or Cassano or Del Vecchio.
Capello's style of play at that time was actually a bit like a Christmas tree four-three-two-one, all of which were offensive and defensive tactics.
The Trident in the front attacked, and the seven players in the back defended. The two midfielders, Candela and Cafu, were full-backs and played in midfield.
Even Roma's now well-known winger, Mancini, started out as a full-back and came to take over from Cafu. As a result, he even became a front-court wing attacker.
It is not difficult to see from this that Capello's tactics are still mainly defensive.
And in Capello's tactical play, there is one person who is crucial, and that is Totti.
The reason why Ancelotti's Christmas tree did not tear was because of Pirlo's long pass and the connection between Seedorf and Kaka, but Rome was Totti at that time.
It can be said that Capello's tactical style of play brought Totti's personal ability and role to the extreme. Those years were also the peak of Totti's career.
After Capello, no matter how Rome's tactics changed or adjusted, one thing remained the same, and that was Totti.
After Spalletti took over Roma, the organization and tactics also revolved around this premise.
Totti is the core combat power of Rome, and he is equivalent to the big king. Who would be stupid enough to throw the big king at the beginning of the game?
Roma under Spalletti is facing a completely different situation from Capello, that is, there is no striker.
Batistuta, Montella, Cassano, Del Vecchio and others are gone.
The boss Sensi is not as big as he was at the beginning of the century, and it is difficult for Roma to introduce high-level strikers.
How to do it?
Spalletti adjusted the team's tactics and pushed Totti forward.
No way, Totti is too comprehensive.
The attack in the frontcourt still revolves around Totti. When Totti retreats, he inserts the front midfielder behind. When Totti pulls the side, the winger inserts diagonally behind him, thus forming a set of seemingly no striker, but in reality. The wolf pack tactics where anyone can become a striker.
The premise of this set of tactics is to be able to run.
Players such as Vucinic, Tadei, and Mancini are all attacking around Totti.
Roma uses this fast-paced movement and pulling to create more attacking opportunities.
In essence, it revolves around Totti.
……
"Away against Roma, Totti has to control and not let him play at will."
In the coach's office, Gao Shen rubbed his hands together and said.
This year, the winter in Italy is really cold. The heating is turned on in the office, but it still makes people feel that the cold air keeps rushing up from the soles of the feet, and the whole body is shivering.
Gao Shen is okay, look at the old people such as Carlo and Buenaventura, they are all wrapped up tightly.
"We can't take one-on-one targeted defense, which is not good for our overall tactics. We have to rely on integrity to create a cage for Totti and lock him in."
When Gao Shen stretched out his hand and compared a grasping motion, he found that his fingers were a little stiff.
In fact, Gao Shen seldom arranges people to mark someone in the game, and mostly focuses on overall tactics.
For example, when I was in Real Madrid before, when I played against Barcelona and defended Ronaldinho, although Abeloa was in charge of it, it was mainly because he was in the right position. important.
This time against Totti, Gao Shen also intends to do the same.
There are advantages to arranging special personnel to mark, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it is easy to cause the defensive order to get out of control.
Whether it is necessary or not depends on the coach's own choice.
Like Roma, Gao Shen felt that it would be very troublesome to arrange for someone to mark Totti.
"I think our passing and possession will be very advantageous. We can make a fuss about this and pull Roma out to play." Guardiola suggested.
"Well said." Gao Shen pointed to Guardiola and praised, he was thinking of it with him.
When it comes to wolves tactics, it sounds better, but if it doesn't sound good, it's called crazy running, or it's called a full-court siege.
As you can tell from the name, Roma is not a solid team.
De Rossi is not stable at all now, and the combination of Qiu and Mex on the back line is also not very strong. In this case, if Napoli can control the ball, they do not need to be as skilled as Barcelona, but as long as Control the ball, control the rhythm, and Roma is in danger.
"It depends on Rudolph's ability." Gao Shen smiled and looked at Borrell.
The assistant of Borrell is really very capable, and Gao Shen has always trusted him very much. It can be said that he trusts him.
"Don't worry, I'll make arrangements." Borrell chuckled.
Guardiola looked on with admiration.
After arriving in Naples, he discovered that there was a group of excellent assistants gathered around Gao Shen.
Needless to say, Carlo is definitely a head coach who can be on his own; Buenaventura also needless to say, in terms of physical training, he is definitely one of the top players in European football; Lucas is sensitive to numbers and Intelligence analysis; Borrell is very good at training player skills, ball control, and even defense.
And Lopis, the goalkeeper coach is definitely not easy.
After coming to Gaoshen's coaching staff, Guardiola was surprised to discover that Gaoshen's ability to dig out not only players, but also assistants is amazing.
Not to mention anything else, each of these assistants is extremely capable.
Just like Borrell, Guardiola wondered why a coach with such outstanding ability was not showing himself in Barcelona? Why is no one using him?
In the end, he had to admit that this is the sadness of the giants.
From Van Gaal to Rijkaard, they all have their own set of coaches, and there are many coaches trained by Barcelona themselves, all lining up for opportunities.
Just like this time, after Ten Carter left, Rijkaard needed an assistant coach. The first thing Barcelona thought of was Guardiola. Why? Because he is the legendary superstar of Barcelona.
After losing to Real Madrid last season, he was empty-handed. If Guardiola returns at this time, it can greatly relieve the pressure on the management. Because fans are emotional, they prefer to see the club treat these legendary veterans well.
After being rejected by Guardiola, the club chose Neskens. What was the result?
Now the Barcelona dressing room is in chaos.
Sometimes, giant clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid often collapse from internal conflicts.
The result of the seniority ranking is that talented people like Borrell are forced to leave the team and choose another leader.
…………
…………
After confirming the tactics against Roma the Naples chariot started with a roar.
On the one hand, the team used the winter break training period to accumulate energy for the second half, recharge the players' physical fitness, and strive to show better performance in the second half.
On the other hand, the team is also preparing for Roma. In addition to what was mentioned in the coaching meeting, Gao Shen also emphasized the defense on the right, which is the Achilles heel of Naples.
Everyone knows that Napoli's left wing is dominated by offense. The left wing combination of Gervinho and Vargas is the most powerful attack line in Naples this season, but the right wing is a bit embarrassing.
Garrick and Grava are not particularly ideal, which makes it difficult for Sanchez to perform better.
Starting from Juventus, almost all teams facing Naples will play on the right.
The worst thing is that Roma's left offensive is very strong, and Mancini and Vucinic are very good at activities in this area.
At the same time, Gao Shen is also reading Spalletti's book in the tactical library, as well as Ferguson's book.
Why?
He remembered that in the Champions League knockout match this season, Manchester United reversed Roma by a big score and played a wonderful victory.
Gao Shen wanted to know, how did Ferguson's Manchester United restrain Spalletti's Rome?
……
On January 10, the second half of the game in Naples officially ignited the war.
The team that had been preparing for a long time set off on the morning of the match day and headed to Rome, 200 kilometers away.
Gao Shen and his team will be visiting the Olympic Stadium to challenge the Red Wolves.
