Chapter 341： old monster

It was noon when we returned to Naples from Madrid.

The morning training was in charge of Carlo Pintus and others, and Gao Shen was also very relieved.

After the lunch break, the coaching staff held a meeting, and Gao Shen mentioned the game last night.

"There are two people who have to pay attention."

Gao Shen turned around and drew two circles on the tactical board behind, which happened to circle two numbers.

Aquilani's number eight, Vucinic's number nine.

"Aquilani's performance has left a deep impression on me. This midfielder is now the core of Roma's midfield, his performance is very stable, and he has made a great contribution to the Red Wolves. He must be strangled, otherwise If so, the game is not good.”

"With Hamsik?" Carlo asked tentatively.

Gao Shen shook his head, "It's not enough, use Vidal."

Many people have misunderstood Hamsik, thinking that this kid has a mohawk haircut, tattoos, and looks rough. In fact, he is really not that kind of rough guy, so he is dirty. Live, still have to Vidal or Nainggolan.

"Little Mancini didn't perform very well against Real Madrid, but after Vucinic came on, Roma's offense played more lively. Sacchi said in the column, Vucinic looks like It's Van Basten, the difference is that he's on and off, so we have to pay attention to him."

Everyone nodded and immediately recorded the profound words.

"Toneto is injured, I guess, it should be to use Panucci to play on the right and let Cicinho go to the left. It is not the first time that Cicinho has played on the left. I believe Spalletti should will do it."

In this way, as Gao Shen guessed, the starting lineup of the Roma team is very clear.

Goalkeeper: Doni.

Back line: Cicinho, Juan, Mex and Panucci.

Midfielder: Aquilani and De Rossi are the double midfielders, Vucinic, Perrotta and Tadei are in front.

Forward: Totti.

"We need one person to limit Perotta, let Thiago Mota come on, change formations, and the other midfielder uses Biglia." After thinking deeply, he made a decision.

Naples is now able to skillfully use the two tactical formations of 4231 and 433, and they also adopt different tactics according to different situations and different opponents.

Sometimes, in the same game, the team can switch from 4231 to 433.

The tactical formation is dead, but the movements and positions of players on the court are flexible and can only serve as a reference.

"Roma's tactic likes to press from a high position, but they themselves are not fast."

Gao Shen finally made a summary of the opponents in this game.

"In the game against Real Madrid in the middle of the week, their players did their best, which will definitely affect them in the weekend league, and we are sitting at home to recharge our batteries."

When Gao Shen said this, his meaning was already very obvious.

Naples, who are playing at home, will not leave the slightest chance for Roma, but will suppress Roma from the beginning.

Little Mancini, Vucinic, or Tadei, Totti, Perrotta, etc., are actually not fast.

With the pace of Napoli's backline players, there is no problem dealing with them.

So the lofty strategy was to hold down Roma and keep them out of the Napoli goal.

Fight back?

It has to be fast.

Under this large tactical framework, Roma's players are then targeted to suppress, thereby curbing Roma's organization and offense.

"By the way, Totti should also pay special attention." At the end, Lucas reminded.

Gao Shen was a little surprised. As the captain of Roma, Totti has always been the focus of attention.

"This game against us is his 500th game for Roma," explained Lucas.

Gao Shen didn't know what to say.

Totti is a player he admires very much. It is really quite difficult to achieve his level in today's football environment, especially considering that Roma itself is not that kind of super giant. It is impossible to do without deep affection.

You know, a few years ago, Real Madrid wanted to win Totti, but he just didn't leave.

Five hundred games is indeed a memorable node.

"Well, it's okay, let him go first, winning is the most important thing, anyway, he still has 600 and 700 games." Gao Shen just hesitated, and decisively issued a kill order.

Lucas and others were stunned.

Fuck him, it's understandable, but there are still 600 and 700 games, what does this mean?

Totti is almost thirty-two years old.

Could it be that he can get another 600 and 700 games?

How is this possible?

Seeing the surprise of the assistants, Gao Shen felt a sour feeling in his heart.

No wonder, now in 2008, who would believe that Totti can play for so long?

If he remembered correctly, it didn't seem to be eight hundred games, but it was close.

It's scary to think about, how many games are there in a season, and nearly 300 more games will be played, how many years will it take?

The three major sufferings in Europe are not false!

"Remember, Serie A specializes in old monsters. Thirty-two years old is still in the prime of life." Gao Shen walked out of the conference room with a wry smile.

Maldini, Costacurta, then Totti, Zanetti and Buffon... Gu Bing

In fact, this also has a lot to do with the league style of Serie A.

…

That afternoon, the coaching staff of Naples immediately made targeted adjustments to the training program according to the profound requirements.

Since the game is on Sunday, it is still relatively easy on Thursday, and it will not be real until Friday.

That was the hardest and most tiring day of the week.

On Saturday, it was actually easier, mainly to stimulate the players' state.

When arranging training, the coaching staff should not only respect the objective laws of the players' bodies, formulate scientific and reasonable training intensity, but also combine the technical and tactical needs of the team. It can be said that this is also a very valuable job.

Carlo, Buenaventura, Pintus, and Borrell are specifically responsible for these. Relatively speaking, Gao Shen is actually not good at training, even if it is some of the famous marshals in his tactical library. In the case of the case, the training method "thought" can only be put into practice after the arrangement of these four assistants.

Simply put, the profound is the brain, responsible for remote control and mastering the overall situation, and the coaching staff is responsible for the specific implementation.

This is why a mature and stable coaching team is so important to a famous coach.

It's like Ferguson, after losing Queiroz, he was really blind, and no one was used to it.

Therefore, when Queiroz was dismissed from Real Madrid, he immediately invited Queiroz back.

But Queiroz is also a capable person, and of course he is not willing to be an assistant to Ferguson all the time, so he later chose to fly solo.

There are also like Ten Carter, who is also taking advantage of the momentum of Rijkaard and Barcelona, ​​and the purpose is also to go solo.

In contrast, Gao Shen felt that Carlo was pretty good.

He even considered before that if Carlo chooses to go solo, he will promote Buenaventura as an assistant coach and be responsible for the overall situation, because there is still a Pintus in terms of physical fitness.

At the current level, it is not only the management of the players, but also the management of the coaching staff, and the management of the club leadership, which can be described as the intersection of multiple interests.

It's just Naples.

If it is in some giant teams, the position of the head coach will involve more and greater interests, and every decision you make must be cautious, and sometimes you even have to make some decisions that go against your will.

Gao Shen is very fortunate that he has never encountered such a problem so far.

He hoped that there would not be any in the future.

...

...

March 9, afternoon.

In the twenty-seventh round of Serie A, Naples host Roma.

Since the game against Inter Milan, more than 60,000 people have poured into the San Paolo Stadium, and the Naples management has not immediately retracted the expanded capacity of the stadium, but continued to sell more tickets.

Fans are also very happy.

As a result, 60,000 people poured into the game again.

In terms of fan enthusiasm, Naples is the least to worry about. The Sao Paulo Stadium has the highest attendance and the most enthusiastic home atmosphere in the entire Serie A.

…

Before the opening, Roma beat Naples in guessing.

Totti chose the most favourable side of the afternoon game and handed the kick-off to Napoli.

At the beginning of the game, Spalletti's team actively pressed forward, pushing the entire defense line directly forward, with a great momentum of directly blocking Naples in the half.

More than a minute into the game, when Totti was in a retracement, UU Kanshu turned around and got rid of David Luiz and sent a straight pass. After catching the ball at the front of the penalty area, I want to kick up and hit the goal.

But Thiago Motta, who was following in time, made a tackle and blocked the shot.

Roma's shot failed to threaten Napoli's goal.

…

Spalletti stood on the sidelines and created a shot against the team within two minutes of the opening. Although it failed to pose a threat, it was also very good. He was very satisfied and immediately signaled the team to continue to stabilize and suppress Naples. .

But Napoli started very patiently, especially defensively, very organized.

Thiago Motta's tacit interaction with David Luiz made Totti's retreat lost the greatest threat.

From the fifth minute, Naples began to stabilize their position and gradually pressed Roma back, especially in the sixth minute, after Vidal midfielder stole Aquilani, he planned a counterattack and went straight to Roma. restricted area.

Although he failed to form a shot, he also shocked everyone in a cold sweat.

This made Spalletti look rather depressed.

The running ability of the Naples players is too good, and the strength of the players also has their own characteristics.

In this game, Gao Shen did not use Hamsik, but used Vidal to entangle Aquilani, obviously to attack Roma's midfield organization.

The rhythm of the game began to speed up, and the two sides launched a fierce strangulation in the midfield, and no one was willing to give in.

But the speed of Naples made Roma very afraid and did not dare to leave too much space behind.

As a last resort, Rome could only gradually retreat.

The situation was gradually tilted towards Naples' favour, but Roma was obviously different from Inter Milan, they could keep up with Naples' rhythm.

Gao Shen waited patiently.

He also hides a killer trick.
