Amid the cheers of more than 50,000 Naples fans, and with the whistle of referee Bettany, Gao Shen and Naples' first show of the new season officially kicked off.
When Frosinone's center Maggiotta kicked the ball to teammate DiNardo, the Naples frontcourt, which had been ready to go, quickly rushed into Frosinone's half and pushed straight into the opponent's hinterland.
.
The first to bear the brunt is the tall and strong Edinson Cavani.
The Uruguayan center sprinted like a heavy tank, sweeping away with strong winds. The pressure that hit his face made Frosinone's players pass back again and again, trying to avoid this pressure.
.
Gervinho on the left is an African-American player with dark skin and a very weird hairstyle, which looks quite scary; on the right is Sanchez, a young player from Chile, who has a crisp short haircut.
Inch, thin, but very fierce.
Naples' three attacking players in the frontcourt all have one characteristic in common, and that is fast speed.
The fans at the scene looked down from the stands and saw three blue arrows shooting directly into Frosinone's defensive hinterland.
Immediately after the three arrows, the young player Hamsik, who just transferred from Brescia this season, followed closely, and his speed was also not slow, heading straight towards the hinterland.
This made the Naples fans in the stands very excited.
It’s about to take off as soon as the show starts!
The fans immediately burst into even fiercer and more passionate cheers.
On the court, Naples' entire formation was also pressing forward quickly.
When Cavani rushed to the outside of Frosinone's penalty area and saw the opponent's return pass to goalkeeper Sapino, he immediately rushed to the penalty area and went straight towards the goalkeeper.
At this time, the last player in Naples' defense, Paul Cannavaro, had already passed the center line.
Sapino didn't wait for Cavani to get closer, and directly passed the ball forward with a big kick, and passed the ball directly to the center line.
Bonucci, who was partnering with Cannavaro Jr., jumped up, overwhelmed Maggiota, and headed the ball back.
Biglia grabbed the spot and was assigned to the left wing.
I saw Vargas quickly move forward along the left wing, striding forward with the ball, and before the defensive players could get in place, he passed it to Gervinho in front, and then he went up the side.
Gervinho tried to dribble the ball diagonally into the penalty area but failed, and passed it back to the left wing, just in front of Vargas.
The Peruvian full-back stepped in, stopped, and then passed with his left foot.
Cavani in the middle had just exited the penalty area and saw his teammates on the left coming in. He quickly turned around, like a heavy tank, rushed to the goal, overwhelmed the opponent's central defender, and headed the ball towards the goal.
The ball went over the crossbar and slid out of the goal.
But this sudden offensive completely ignited the passion in the Sao Paulo Stadium.
The fans started shouting at the top of their lungs.
…
Iaconi was dumbfounded on the sidelines.
quick!
It's so fast!
From just now to now, in just over 20 seconds, Napoli has already completed its first shot.
Especially after grabbing the header from Bonucci, Biglia seemed to be waiting there. Vargas directly dribbled the ball forward and then cooperated with Gervinho in a one-two. The whole process happened in the blink of an eye.
between.
Frosinone's defense was simply unstoppable!
Even, he didn’t react at all!
God, is what just happened true?
Iaconi asked himself that he had been in low-level leagues for many years, but he had never seen football like this.
This reminded him of Zeman, the offensive madman who saved Brescia for a short time last season and coached Lecce this season.
Could it be said that the young head coach of Naples is a disciple of Zeman?
That's a guy who wants to attack without his own life!
But soon, Iaconi realized that Gao Shen was not Zeman.
Although Zeman's team is keen on attacking, investing a lot of troops on the offensive end, and also likes to press the defensive line higher, once it switches to defense, he still immediately positions himself on the defensive line to ensure the stability of the defensive position.
But despite this, Zeman's defense was still in a mess.
Therefore, some people say that Zeman regards the game as a gamble and must score one more goal than his opponent.
It's obviously different when it comes to proficiency.
Naples also uses a high position to press and press, but the overall formation is very compact. It looks like a 4-2-3-1, but in fact, the two wings in the frontcourt are more like wingers and closer to the center. This is already very similar to Zeman's 4-3-3.
.
But there is an obvious difference. The four lines of Naples are roughly between 25 and 30 meters from front to back. They are very compact, the formation is also very meticulous, and the overall movement is very coordinated.
Iaconi has been in the Italian league for many years and still has this tactical vision.
Gao Shen is following Sacchi's example, compressing the effective range of the game into a small area, which makes it easier to form a local numerical advantage.
There is another very big difference, that is, the advanced frontcourt press is stronger and the input is more determined.
At the same time, Napoli's overall speed is also faster, their play is sharper, and they are more concise.
Whether it's a counterattack on the spot when switching from offense to defense, or a quick counterattack when switching from defense to offense, they all play very fast.
This resulted in Frosinone being unable to even make a single attack in the first five minutes of the game.
On the other hand, Naples launched offensives again and again and performed very vigorously.
In the sixth minute, Gervinho, still on the left, dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough. He went to the left side of the penalty area and sent a cross pass.
Cavani took a shot with his back and returned the ball. Hamsik stepped in behind, stopped in the penalty area, chased after him and fired furiously.
The ball went straight into the lower right corner of the goal.
"goalllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
Frosinone's defense only lasted six minutes before it collapsed!
…
"yeah!"
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Gao Shen clenched his right fist hard and roared.
The cheers of Naples fans could be heard throughout the stadium.
After Hamsik scored, he excitedly rushed out of the stadium to celebrate.
This is his second career goal.
The first goal was in the Italian Cup last season, when he represented Brescia and scored AC Milan's goal.
That goal made him famous, and now this goal represents a new beginning in his career.
He rushed to the sidelines, turned around and high-fived his teammates, hugged and celebrated. He did not forget to look at the home team's coaching bench, where Gao Shen was giving him a thumbs-up from a distance.
"Well done, Marek!" Gao Shen shouted loudly.
The whole stadium was cheering.
Most fans can't even shout Hamsik's name because they are very unfamiliar with this player, but this does not hinder their excitement and excitement at all.
A goal was scored in six minutes, especially with the wave of attacks after the start. What was this going to do?
…
Iaconi was really anxious.
He walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded his players to pay attention, pay attention, and pay attention again.
Napoli's tactics are obviously completely different from before, especially their high-position press, which was too lethal to Frosinone.
"Cheer up, be careful, don't make mistakes!" Iaconi shouted.
This is the first game of the new season!
If you suffer a disastrous defeat in this game, how will you continue to play in the new season?
Damn, I was misled by media reporters.
Don’t they all say that Gao Shen is a parallel importer?
Aren't his results at Real Madrid fake?
Why do they look so fierce? The team they trained is so brave?
Miscalculated!
…
The game restarts.
Frosinone's players sadly discovered that Napoli didn't give them any time to react.
When they restarted the ball, Naples continued to press hard like before, directly pressing them within the thirty-meter area.
Faced with such a wolf-like high-position press, Frosinone's players were helpless.
When the fifth ball was passed, Cavani intercepted the ball directly.
After the Uruguayan center stole the ball, he sent a wonderful pass behind him. Gervinho was like a black lightning, diagonally inserted behind him, stopped the ball, single-handedly shot, and then...
There is no more!
Gervinho hit the ball directly into the goalkeeper's arms.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
You were so beautiful just now, how could you wither when you were about to hit the target?
Facing Cavani's doubts, Gervinho shrugged with an innocent expression.
I'm a wing breakthrough player. Isn't it difficult for me to shoot?
…
Gao Shen also slapped his forehead hard on the sidelines.
Gervinho has wasted countless opportunities, and the Naples locker room seems to be used to this.
This guy is really useful, he has a strong body, fast speed, good footwork, and strong breakthrough ability, but his shooting is almost useless.
Di Maria is indeed very good, but still a bit thin.
The combination of Biglia and Rakitic in the midfield is basically determined. Unless there are any accidents, they will be the main players in the new season.
Gao Shen originally wanted to buy Modric, but the Croatian midfielder plays for the domestic giant Dinamo Zagreb and is an international player who has participated in the World Cup. He is worth at least eight figures, which is not what Naples can afford now.
Vargas on the left is very sharp in offense and good in defense. On the right is Austrian player Gyorgi Garik, who is quite satisfactory and is quite useful in Serie B. He should be barely competent in Serie A.
After more than a month of running in, he has basically determined the main lineup now.
The next step is to continue to polish the team's tactics, tap the potential of the players, and cultivate their tacit understanding.
None of this can be accomplished in a short time.
But it doesn't matter, the entire Serie B league is an advanced training period.
In fact, he has never taken a team like Frosinone seriously.
With Napoli's current lineup, coupled with Gao Shen's tactical system, if they still can't win a Frosinone team, Gao Shen wouldn't dare to say that he will lead a strong Serie A team within three years.
No, just a few minutes later, Naples' offense came back.
After receiving a pass from Rakitic, Sanchez on the right dribbled the ball inwards and passed it to Cavani.
The Uruguayan forward turned around after stopping the ball and fired directly from the top of the arc. He kicked a powerful and heavy long-range shot, which once again penetrated Frosinone's goal.
In just thirteen minutes, Naples led 2-0.
No matter how you look at it, it’s all about a big victory!
