"Welcome to St Paul's, Mr. Castori!"
At the entrance of the player tunnel before the game, Gao Shen had a friendly face and at the same time reached out to Castori with a polite smile, while the Italian head coach with quite a personality appeared indifferent.
After the two politely shook hands, they went back to the coach's seat without even greeting each other.
Gao Shen felt very puzzled the whole time. He was in his fifties, why is his temper so bad?
You deserve to be in the lower leagues all your life!
But it's funny to say that Castori has already collected the championship trophies of all Italian leagues, except that he does not have the most important Serie A championship trophy.
I don't know if the title collector's nickname is ironic to him? Or praise?
"If it was me, whoever said that, I would be the first to beat him!" Gao Shen said firmly.
Nima, is it okay not to bring such a sarcastic person?
"Who do you want to hit? That old man? Please, he's in his fifties. Didn't you make it clear that he was cheap when you beat him?" Lucas didn't understand Gao Shen's meaning clearly, and thought he was going to hit Castori. .
Gao Shen is a little speechless, who should he reason with?
"I want to beat you!" Gao Shen pretended to be cruel.
Lucas' originally smiling expression froze, "Why?"
"Do you still need a reason to beat you?" Gao Shen asked back, "Or, I'll wait for you to choose a good day before I start?"
In the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Today should be a good day!
Perfect for hitting people!
…
I don't know if it's luck or not, Naples' Coppa Italia debut this season is at home again.
The scene was still full of people, and the entire stadium was full.
Naples fans have always been supportive of the team, especially after winning the Serie B championship last season, it has made the fans even more proud, and this season is also full of enthusiasm, waiting for the team to go to the next level.
The season premiere, sitting at the home court, Gao Shen did not dare to be careless.
Goalkeeper Handanovic, back line Vargas, David Luiz, Cannavaro Jr. and Lich Steiner, midfielders are Biglia and Rakitic, and Dima is in front Leah, Hamsik and Sanchez, the single striker is Cavani.
If nothing else, this should be the starting lineup of Gao Shen this season.
The only suspenseful one should be the central defender.
In the second half of last season, Gao Shen frequently tried to use the double central defender combination of David Luiz and Bonucci. The Brazilian central defender pressed forward and grabbed while Bonucci dragged behind. The two players cooperated very well, and they both had excellent kicks. Passing, especially long balls.
In many games last season, the two central defenders of Naples played a wave.
But for the sake of safety, Gao Shen let Cannavaro start in this game.
In his opinion, it should be a matter of time to replace Cannavaro with Bonucci.
For nothing else, the long pass of the double central defender instigated the attack, which was really fragrant.
Completely different from Naples, Castor's Cesena played a retro three-back in this game.
Although at the beginning of the century, the three-back strategy was indeed popular in Italy, but this is too retro, right?
It's already 2007!
Castori discharged a three-six formation, sticking to the midfield.
This style of play made Gao Shen couldn't help but think of the Golden State Youth Team back then, what a distant memory it was.
"It's really authentic and grassroots." Carlo also smiled bitterly.
Who said it wasn't?
When is it time to play back three?
Of course, Castori can also say that he is sticking to the Italian football creed.
what?
Stick to the middle!
Isn't Italy's creed that no matter how strong the wing is, it must return to the middle to score goals?
Really a strong old Boy!
"Today, if I didn't make him crippled, I would feel sorry for his old man." Gao Shen also laughed.
What is the strongest in Naples?
sidewalk!
Do you really think that if you sell a Gervinho, there will be no one on the side of Naples?
…
Having said that, in fact, Cesena's defense is really well organized.
Three backs, but in fact the two sides of the previous six midfielders are basically back, which forms a five back.
As soon as Naples opened the game, they took the lead in launching the attack, and it was still the team's signature fast-paced high-level pressing and pressing.
Cesena was also well-prepared, and he organized a tight defense without rushing. After grabbing the ball, he quickly cleared the dangerous area. He did not take the ball at all, but concentrated on defense.
This made Naples really failed to create a threat in the first ten minutes.
After all, it is the season premiere, and the players' game rhythm and body are completely out of shape.
After a wave of attacks, Napoli patiently controlled the situation and the ball, and patiently familiarized themselves with the rhythm of the game.
But fifteen minutes into the game, Gao Shen made an adjustment, signaling Di Maria and Sanchez to press up and stick directly to the opponent's back line, forcing the opponent's defense line to retreat further.
At the same time, the two full-backs must also actively move forward and provide support.
Hamsik in the middle retreated appropriately, which made the entire formation similar to four-three-three, with the midfield in a triangular position, but the responsibilities of the players on the court changed.
For example, two wingers, after sticking to the line of defense, they devote themselves to attacking and counter-attacking, and basically do not return to defense.
After adjustment, just five minutes later, Napoli found their chance.
After receiving the ball from Rakitic on the right, Sanchez tried to break through the defensive line on the right but failed. He cut inward and passed the ball across the top of the penalty area.
After Cavani squeezed the defender away with his body, he stopped with his right foot, parked the ball to his right, and adjusted his body again. Before the defender could react, he volleyed his right foot vigorously and kicked a kick A long shot from the front of the heavy penalty area.
This sudden burst shot was a thunderous hit, and the opponent's goalkeeper Berti couldn't react at all, and the ball broke their goal.
One to zero!
The entire Sao Paulo stadium couldn't help cheering.
Gao Shen met him on the sidelines, and also waved his right fist vigorously, applauding Cavani loudly.
This shot was really beautiful!
"Well done, Edinson!" Gao Shen shouted.
After hearing that, Cavani turned around and raised his fists at the head coach, as if to say: Praise me as much as you like, boss, look how good I am!
…
After scoring the first goal, Cesena was a little confused.
Naples took the opportunity to launch a wave of attack, but Castori is indeed very experienced.
Speaking of ability, he must have it, otherwise it would be impossible to win so many championships.
Therefore, after conceding the ball, Castori immediately made adjustments to try to stabilize his position.
But in the 37th minute, Napoli attacked from the left flank.
After Vargas moved forward to form a cooperation with Di Maria, the Argentine broke into the bottom line with the ball and into the penalty area, but was restricted by layers of restrictions and was forced to knock back to Cavani who ran over to respond.
After the Uruguayan center stopped the ball with his back, it was almost impossible to turn around and face the goal, but he chose to pass back.
I saw that Hamsik arrived at this time, facing Cavani's return pass, and hit it directly!
The ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, two to zero!
…
The first half ended with Napoli taking a two-goal lead.
During the intermission, Gao Shen was satisfied with the performance of the players, but at the same time, he also pointed out that the team did not do enough in many areas, such as the connection between the front wings and the middle.
"Keep up the good work in the second half and try to get a good start!"
"come on!"
The lofty appeal was warmly responded by the players.
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the game still presented a one-sided situation.
In fact, from the first half, it was clear to Castori that Napoli were stronger this season than last.
The people are still those people, but after the training last season and the summary and analysis of the summer training camp, the strength of the players has obviously been further improved.
This is the biggest advantage of young players, they are all going up.
Less than ten minutes into the second half, Naples dribbled the ball on the left side of the frontcourt and forced a breakthrough, creating a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt. Cannavaro Jr. used a wonderful header to give Naples another goal. city.
Three to zero!
Just four minutes after the goal, Sanchez made a dribbling cut from the right, trying to get in touch with Cavani in the middle, and was defended by the Brazilian midfielder Luis Sakiluoto who was on the outside of the penalty area. Shoveled to the ground by him.
This made Gao Shen on the sidelines very worried.
The Naples fans in the audience also booed wildly in the field, and the referee gave a red card without hesitation.
Castori was furious directly on the sidelines, and various national curses blurted out.
God knows, is he scolding his own players? Still scolding the referee? Or scold Naples?
Sanchez quickly stood up again, and when the opponent stepped out, he swiftly avoided it, and there was no serious problem, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
But Gao Shen also became ruthless.
Nima, in my territory, still want to **** my people?
Tired of living?
Thinking of this, Gao Shen waved his hand.
"Continue to attack me! Attack me fiercely!" Gao Shen shouted without hesitation.
"Don't leave me alone! I want to see goals, more goals!"
Castori, who was in front of the visiting team's coach, shuddered, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com turned to look at Gao Shen, and found that the latter didn't look at him at all.
This self-proclaimed Italian defender of the art of defensive football, the most grassroots champion collector is really a little panic.
He could feel Gao Shen's anger now.
Violating his player, Cesena stepped over the line!
No way, Castori can only quickly signal the team to defend and continue to guard against the dead.
But in less than ten minutes after the coaches' instructions were issued, Naples once again broke Cesena's goal.
This was an oblique pass from Sanchez. After receiving a through ball from Hamsik, he easily pushed a shot from the near corner and continued to expand the score for Naples, 4-0!
The Chilean winger was also very excited after scoring a goal and ran all the way to the sidelines to celebrate.
The surrounding Naples players also rushed forward.
The game is not over, the carnage continues!
