Chapter 276： Inter's biggest weakness

Falling in love with youkanshu.com, starting from coaching Real Madrid

If football is a war, it is often not just on the battlefield that decides the success or failure of the war.

Before the war begins, both sides of the battle must make the most adequate preparations.

With a passionate declaration of battle, Gao Shen persuaded everyone in the coaching staff to unify all their thoughts and positions, and let them make the best preparations for this match in the next few days.

At the same time, Gao Shen also began to communicate and chat with players constantly.

As the team's head coach, he needs to let the players know what he thinks and why he does it?

For example, in the fight against Inter Milan, it is obvious that the strength is at a disadvantage, so why can't you defend and counterattack?

The reason given by Gao Shen is very simple, he wants to show the confidence of Naples!

The 0-3 game last season was a huge blow to the team.

Not only the players and the coaching staff, but even the head coach, he was actually beaten very badly.

Now, everyone in Naples is under more psychological pressure when facing Inter Milan.

If it's just like this, it's actually nothing, but the key is, if it really comes to the last minute, what should I do when Naples and Inter Milan fight for the championship?

It's really at the critical moment when the bayonet sees blood. Strength, morale, fighting spirit, willpower... These things have all been fought to the extreme.

Manchester United has repeatedly staged a classic big reversal in 1999, and this is also the tone!

Many people ask, why is Arsenal always being reversed by Manchester United?

Excessive physical consumption is one aspect, but it also reflects that Arsenal is indeed inferior to Manchester United in terms of confidence.

The momentum of the Premier League hegemon cannot be compared overnight.

Wenger has never been a head coach with a strong aura. The Arsenal he created is more than delicate but lacks toughness. Especially after the departure of a strong general and captain like Vieira, the spirit of the whole team is even better. It's plummeted.

Arsenal became a four-man madman, is it really just because of the construction of a new stadium?

Compared with Liverpool next door, the spirit of the team is completely different.

What Gao Shen wants to create is the character of Naples. He wants to instill his own personality and temperament into this team, so when facing Inter Milan, he has to fight!

On the contrary, if it weren't for Inter Milan, a team with similar strength to Naples, or even weaker, Gao Shen would instead choose defensive counterattacks.

But now, Gao Shen is going to attack!

He wants the confidence and morale that was defeated in the zero-to-three match to be reunited!

…

Some players understand and support this idea of ​​Gao Shen; some understand but have some reservations; some do not understand very well, but they are willing to cooperate with all their efforts...

This is actually quite normal.

In a team, in a locker room, there are dozens of people, it is impossible for everyone to be in the same heart as Gao Shen.

Different backgrounds, different living environments, and different growth conditions have created their different personalities and behaviors.

What Gao Shen can do is to tell them what he thinks, and then let them act with him.

To put it simply, Gao Shen does not need their approval and sincere support, as long as they do what they do and do it well.

After talking to everyone in the team, Gao Shen is confident that the team can do it.

After being recognized by the players, the next thing Gao Shen has to do is to do his best to prepare for the game.

Inter Milan can be described as a strong team, but no matter how strong the team is, there will be some problems.

For example, last season, Ibrahimovic, Crespo, Adriano, Cruz and Recoba, such super strikers can be described as extremely luxurious, and the competition is quite fierce. Qi even had a conflict with Mancini.

In this season, Recoba is gone, Adriano is in the cold palace, Cruz, who is more efficient, gets more playing opportunities and performs better, Crespo is just a little sluggish.

However, Suazzo, who was introduced at a high price by the team, did not have the excellent performance he played in Cagliari last season.

Mancini tried several times with the combination of Ibrahimovic and Suazzo, but to no avail.

But recently, Mancini has begun to change his mind and officially established Ibrahimovic as the offensive axis in the frontcourt.

In the last three rounds, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored five goals and one assist.

However, this also brings a new problem.

…

"Suazo has been proven to be out of tune with Ibrahimovic. The most likely one is Cruise."

Gao Shen put Cruise's No. 9 on the tactical board, putting him in a tie with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at No. 8.

Inter Milan will still play four-four-two.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Backline: Chivu/Maxwell, Samuel, Cordoba and Maicon.

Midfielders: A. Cesar, Stankovic, Vieira and Figo.

Forwards: Cruz and Ibrahimovic.

"Using Ibrahimovic as the attacking axis in the frontcourt allowed Inter to further establish the team's attacking direction, which quickly stabilized, but then came another problem, Ibrahimovic! "

Gao Shen focused on Ibrahimovic's No. 8.

Beckenbauer once said that the strongest is often the weakest.

A team with a core is often its biggest weakness.

So is Inter Milan.

To establish Ibrahimovic as the offensive axis of the frontcourt, the implication is that as long as Ibrahimovic is locked, Inter Milan's offense will be greatly affected, and even misfire.

"We can look at the heat map of Ibrahimovic in the past two seasons, and the running distance is actually very small."

Gao Shen showed the ppt materials carefully prepared by Lucas.

"I still remember that at Ajax, Ibrahimovic had a quarrel with Van Gaal because Van Gaal asked him to run, but Ibrahimovic believed that it was impossible for a high center like himself to run actively. Not Kluivert."

"After coming to Juventus, he was basically the same, but under Capello's training, he played relatively more team-based, but he still didn't get rid of his own problems."

What's wrong with Ibrahimovic?

The biggest problem with the Swedish center is his biggest advantage. As a high center, his skills are so good!

What do you mean?

That is, you can obviously rely on your body to eat, but you don't. You insist on relying on skills to eat. What does this make technical players eat?

Ibrahimovic's biggest problem is actually the problem of many technical players. For example, many technical players in Naples have this problem, that is, they are too obsessed with technology.

As a megalomaniac, Ibrahimovic has been magnified to a very high level in this regard.

He believes he can solve all problems with technology, and it turns out he can.

In the absence of high-intensity defensive pressure.

So, why is he called the Champions League soft-footed shrimp?

Because in the Champions League, the defensive intensity has increased, so he stopped.

"We can see that almost all of his movements are for one purpose, which is to facilitate his own possession of the ball."

"He's a very self-centred player, he couldn't do it when he was at Juventus, but when he comes to Inter Milan, especially after this season, no one can beat him!"

Gao Shen couldn't say, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

In fact, with Ibrahimovic's characteristics, talents and abilities, especially his body, technique and flexibility, he can really reach a height that everyone looks up to.

But he was born with such an arrogant personality, and no one could let him down, and no one could make him obedient.

Because of this, Mancini decided to use Ibrahimovic as the offensive axis of the frontcourt.

Since I can't let you down, and I can't let you play for the team, okay, I'll let the whole team play football around you, right?

Therefore, Ibrahimovic's performance has soared up to now.

Knowing this, it is very clear how Naples will deploy targeted tactics.

Gao Shen's request was to cut off the passes to Ibrahimovic as much as possible.

After the Swedish center got the ball, it was really difficult to defend.

So, the best way to defend him is to not let him get the ball.

Inter Milan's offense is based on Ibrahimovic's frontcourt axis. As long as Ibrahimovic's possession of the ball can be restricted, it theoretically limits Inter Milan's frontcourt offense.

It's hard, it's not easy, but it has to be done.

In addition, pay attention to the two sides of Inter Milan.

Not to mention Figo's right wing, the Portuguese winger is still old and strong.

In last season's 0-3, Inter Milan's left wing was Solari, but now it has become Cesar, who is also a winger.

Mancini's strategy this season is to use a three-back midfielder in the Champions League and four-four-two in Serie A.

From this, it is not difficult to see that, in fact, Inter Milan is determined to win the Serie A.

Facts have also proved that as long as it is adjusted, UU Reading Inter Milan has no rivals in Serie A.

So Gao Shen guessed that Mancini played at home this time, or four-four-two, playing two flanks with Cesar and Figo.

As for whether to use Maxwell or Qiu on the left, it depends on what Mancini thinks.

…

After preliminary research on Inter Milan's tactics, the coaching staff also began to arrange training according to their respective divisions of labor, especially some targeted tactics.

In a week's time, in addition to giving the team a day off, Gao Shen still has plenty of time to prepare for the game. He can arrange three targeted training sessions to simulate different game scenarios for Inter Milan.

Napoli's players are not difficult to choose, because for the time being, the team's starting lineup is relatively stable.

The only suspense is Biglia.

The player has almost recovered, but whether he can participate in the game or not depends on his body and stamina, and how well he is at that time.

In his lofty plan, he didn't plan to reserve a substitution spot for Biglia.

There are three games in total, and each of them is very important and precious.

If Biglia doesn't recover well, he will use someone else.

"By the way, both Pastore and Valencia will be brought to the list of 18." Gao Shen explained.

Carlo and the others looked at each other in surprise, and nodded in unison.

Pastore actually performed quite well. Valencia came on as a substitute, but he was not very comfortable.

Serie A defense is difficult for many players to adapt to.
