Because of Gao Shen's remarks before the game, coupled with his own stunt in the Champions League quarter-finals, Naples' away game against Arsenal has always attracted the attention of fans and professionals around the world.
Inter Milan coach Mourinho in Milan is no exception.
With the coaching staff, he squatted in front of the TV on time and watched the battle that attracted worldwide attention.
The result of the game surprised them.
Naples did not resort to the high-position pressing and pressing with their signature three-axes, and seized the initiative from the beginning, but started to seek stability.
On the contrary, it was Arsenal, who appeared aggressive at the beginning of the game, with a strong offensive momentum, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and there was no threat.
But what really surprised Mourinho and others was that David Luiz's long pass was fantastic, and Cavani's header was also well done.
To talk about the role of a center, Cavani is not as good as Pellet, but this does not mean that Cavani is not a center.
Sanchez assisted Rakitic's pass, and his awareness was also in place. Rakitic's subsequent stop and shot show his technical skills.
The Croatian midfielder's back-up is increasingly threatening.
Gao Shen also seemed to have noticed this, so he slowly let go of the restrictions on him. As a result, he scored in three consecutive Champions League knockout games.
Mourinho is even thinking that Gao Shen's use of Rakitic is really a bit like his reuse of Lampard.
The difference is that Rakitic is more skilled and passes the ball better.
"Profound psychological warfare has played a role." Mourinho shook his head and sighed.
Baresi, Boas and Faria all looked at each other.
Psychological warfare?
Mourinho looked at his assistant, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You don't really think that the kid would make such a big talk for no reason?"
Everyone thought about it carefully, it was true.
Gao Shen has always given the impression that he is mature and stable, who is completely inconsistent with his age, and he does things without leakage, but recently he has suddenly become so high-profile that he even threatened to demonstrate how to beat Arsenal in front of the world. .
"Hmph, sure enough, his usual image of a good baby is so confusing that you all forgot, he is definitely a black-bellied man with ulterior motives!" Mourinho was very dissatisfied, and even cursed inwardly.
What the **** is this?
I just fought a few more psychological wars and wars of words, and the whole world called me a madman.
But what that guy said was even more exaggerated. He was full of bad water, but he pretended to be harmless to humans and animals. As a result, the whole world thought he was a good baby.
It's so unfair, isn't it?
"From his threats to show the world how to beat Arsenal, from his mention of leading Real Madrid out of Arsenal, to taunting and mocking Wenger and Arsenal's lack of aggressiveness..."
"Anyway, all the things he did before the match were a complete set of psychological warfare combos."
Mourinho said this with some admiration.
Gao Shen doesn't usually fight psychological warfare, but once he makes a shot, he is often hit with a single blow.
"I just asked, do you think that Gao Shen is too wild? Do you think he is very annoying? Do you want Arsenal to teach him a lesson? Let him lose to the horrific Waterloo?"
Mourinho asked several questions in one go.
Baresi and others all nodded, indeed.
Except for the supporters of Naples, or some fans who have a good impression of Gao Shen, and those neutral fans who are watching the fun and are not afraid of big things, anyone who has a grudge against Gao Shen is basically very upset after listening to his words. .
"Then think about it again, you are all like this, what will the Arsenal players think?"
The crowd suddenly realized.
Who said it wasn't?
Even their third-party Inter Milan people are eager to lose a little more at the Emirates Stadium, so as a party, Arsenal's players must want to do so.
"So, you have also seen that Arsenal's players were very positive after the start, and Wenger's tactics were not conservative, so the Gunners played very fast in the opening rhythm, the players were pressed frequently, and the two full-backs were even fast. Pressed to the wing position."
"And that Song, he looks like a free agent in the midfield now, but Cesc Fabregas is behind the defense, so you can see just now, Cesc Fabregas can't stop Rakiti who plugs in later. strange."
Mourinho's analysis made everyone suddenly realize, and then looking at the game, he couldn't help but admire the depth in front of the visiting team's coach.
Is this kid too scary?
Just like a monster!
Are you sure he's only twenty-eight?
To have calculated everything so clearly, simply!
"So, Napoli can really beat Arsenal tonight?" Baresi exclaimed in amazement.
Mourinho curled his lips and replied dismissively: "What's the big deal in beating Arsenal away? But as long as the strong teams that hit the championship in the Premier League, who hasn't beat Arsenal away?"
Everyone was speechless.
Dare to love Mourinho not only stepped on Arsenal, but also stepped on AC Milan and Roma, because these two goods failed to win Arsenal.
"Wenger should be in a hurry now." Mourinho sneered with a sneer, "If you don't stabilize the players quickly, you wait and see, Arsenal will have to concede the ball, and soon."
"Soon?" Everyone was surprised again.
"As long as Arsenal are not stable and continue to play like the opening game, within ten minutes, they will concede another goal."
In the end, Mourinho is very confident.
…
Arsenal did not choose to drop back, but continued to use proactive tactics after the opening.
Wenger is also obviously very dissatisfied with the loss of a home goal in the opening, and hopes that the team can equalize the score as soon as possible.
But Napoli's defense is very layered and the players are very active.
Although they played four, three and three, when defending, the overall defense was still shrinking. Biglia and Rakitic basically retreated to protect the defense line, which made it difficult for Arsenal's offense to penetrate.
In the thirteenth minute, Arsenal once again attacked the frontcourt.
After a few crosses back and forth, the ball was passed to the right and handed to Sagna.
After Sagna got rid of Vargas when he stopped the ball, he made a cross from the bottom to the middle of the penalty area, but Benatia grabbed the spot and beat Adebayor to head the ball to clear the siege and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. To the left of the 30-meter area on your side.
Di Maria ran back, took the lead to intercept the ball, took a step laterally to the left, and suddenly his heel knocked the ball to the middle behind him and passed it to Cavani, who was sprinting forward.
The Argentine winger is always surprised, and there are some bizarre movements on the pitch from time to time, but the effect is actually quite good.
Cavani sprinted the ball forward with big strides, and quickly advanced to the vicinity of the center line. He saw an opportunity and passed the ball diagonally to the left front.
I saw that Sanchez was sprinting forward at the fastest speed, Sagna was chasing back desperately, and Colo Toure was also constantly retreating, but Cavani's diagonal pass just fell in front of Sanchez, Chile. The winger continued to sprint forward with the ball.
Almost at the same time, Di Maria, who had passed the ball with his heel just now, rushed forward along the right immediately after passing the ball.
Although Clichy was chasing him, his speed was not inferior to that of Di Maria, but he couldn't bear to push too far forward just now. He used himself as a winger, leading to the start behind Di Maria , and the Argentine winger is not slow at all.
When Sanchez dribbled the ball to the left of the front of the box, both of Arsenal's centre-backs had already retreated to the edge of the box.
The Chilean winger suddenly made an emergency stop and after intercepting the ball, he sent a diagonal pass with his right foot.
The ball passed right between Kolo Toure and Gallas and crossed to the right rib of the penalty area.
At this time, Di Maria was just one position ahead of Clichy, rushed to the big penalty area, grabbed a shot with his left foot before Gallas, and sent the ball into Arsenal's goal.
Although Almunia tried to attack, he still failed to stop Di Maria from scoring.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
"In the thirteenth minute, Naples has another victory!"
"A very quick counterattack!"
"Two to zero!"
"We can look at the replay of the goal, starting from Di Maria grabbing the ball, hitting Cavani with his heel, and then making an oblique pass from Cavani to find Sanchez, the Chilean winger dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, and then made an oblique pass. Find Di Maria, complete a counterattack, and finally Di Maria completes the shot."
"There were only three players involved in the entire counter-attack process. It took only nine seconds from Di Maria's touch to the final shot. Napoli's entire counter-attack was so fast, unbelievably fast! "
After Di Maria scored, he rushed out of the court excitedly and made a heart-shaped gesture with his hands on his chest.
The Napoli players rushed out one after the other to celebrate the crucial goal with him.
Sanchez assisted Di Maria after assisting Rakitic. His performance was also very surprising, and he was also congratulated and affirmed by his teammates.
"Two to zero!"
"Arsenal conceded two goals in less than 15 minutes, which is definitely a heavy blow to the Gunners playing at home."
"Wenger now needs to reconsider his overall plan."
"Especially after the opening, Arsenal's players were obviously too aggressive, and the game was very active, but it was easy to lose their positions, and the defensive position from attacking to defending was very fatal."
"Napoli's two counter-attacks, one was a quick free-kick and a long pass, and this time it was directly using speed to advance. Arsenal failed to block the opponent's counter-attack, which is worthy of Wenger's vigilance."
"If we let the game go on like this, we don't even know what it will end up being."
The live TV footage also cuts right to the sidelines.
Wenger is furious, obviously dissatisfied with the continuous loss of the ball.
Gao Shen was overjoyed, dancing and shouting with excitement, obviously very satisfied with the result.
"Before the game, everyone felt that it was too arrogant to show the world how to beat Arsenal, and many people were even waiting to see the humiliating scene of Napoli's loss."
"Unexpectedly, Gao Shen demonstrated two goals in less than fifteen minutes."
