178 Two goals for Juventus

Dino Manuzzi Stadium, Cesena, Italy.

When referee Bertini blew the whistle to end the game, Juventus's French referee Deschamps turned around feeling disappointed and dissatisfied with the result on the court.

One to two, according to international practice, the home team goes first and the visiting team goes last.

Juventus reversed Cesena 2-1 with goals from Bodinov and Del Piero.

Yes, a reversal, and a reversal in the second half, is quite dangerous.

Del Piero replaced Marchionne in the 74th minute. One minute later, he scored the key goal for the team to overtake and became the hero of the team's victory and promotion.

But this still did not satisfy Deschamps.

This is not the football he wants.

In other words, Juventus cannot play the kind of football he wants.

"Our offense is very problematic, and our ability to create opportunities in the frontcourt is too poor. In this case, we will have a very difficult time in Serie A in the new season, especially when we encounter teams with excellent defense, such as Naples." Deschamps.

He shook his head dejectedly.

Naples' head coach is Gao Shen, and the world's impression of him is defensive.

He won the double in Real Madrid by relying on defense.

"Cesena has never been known for its defensive ability in Serie B. It ranked high last season because of its excellent offense. Their defense is last in Serie B. Judging from this game, it is not very good either." Assistant coach

Pezzotti said.

He is the right-hand man of Italian national team coach Lippi. After winning the World Cup, he came to Juventus to assist Deschamps, hoping to lead Juventus back to Serie A in the new season.

It would be best to win the championship and dampen the spirit of that arrogant boy from Naples.

"Yes, but even if we faced Cesena, whose defense was not very good, our offense was still not ideal. This is not good." Deschamps shook his head, feeling a little annoyed because this was not a problem that was exposed just now.

In fact, as early as Capello's coaching period, Juventus' offense has always been a difficult problem, especially creativity.

Except for Del Piero, the players in the frontcourt simply do not have the ability to create opportunities under tight marking.

If you can't create chances, how can you win the game?

When Juventus reaches Serie B, the Tigers will go downhill, and their advantage is very obvious. Almost all teams will play defensive counterattacks. At this time, offense becomes the key to Juventus' victory.

But this happens to be Juventus's weakness.

This was the case when Capello was coaching last season. Deschamps also raised this issue when he came to coach the team, but it was never resolved.

The seller cost more than 80 million euros, so he is reluctant to spend some money to recruit?

"A speed forward and an attacking midfielder, we must recruit in these two positions." Deschamps said harshly.

It's not too late now.

In fact, Secco always knew what Deschamps wanted.

Deschamps' tactics are solid defense, coupled with sharp counterattacks, speed is very important.

But in the Juventus team, there is neither a passer for counterattacks nor a sharp counterattack player. How can Deschamps launch an offense?

When he was coaching Juventus, he had clearly made demands on Seco. Of the two players, one was not reused in Barcelona and Saviola had only one year left on his contract. It is estimated that Barcelona would not

How much does it cost? Saviola also worked with him in Monaco. He knows how to use the Argentine striker.

Another one is Hamburg’s Dutch midfielder Van der Vaart.

This Ajax genius performed very well in Hamburg. His arrival can make up for the weakness of Juventus's midfield to the greatest extent, and his transfer fee will not be very expensive.

Deschamps used 442 in the first round, but this time he adopted 4231. No matter which system is used, a player like Van der Vaart is needed in the midfield tenth position.

But Secco brought him Zanetti and Marchionni.

Look at this game, as soon as Marchionni comes off and Del Piero comes on, Juventus scores immediately.

This is accidental, but it is also inevitable.

"I have to talk to Seco again!" Deschamps said with a sigh.

As a head coach, he also wants to achieve results.

"He won't agree." Pezzotti shook his head.

Deshang's expression froze, and he let out a long sigh of disappointment, he knew.

If you were willing, you could have introduced it early and wouldn't have to wait until now, which is already late August.

The transfer market will close soon.

"Now I kind of understand why the Napoli man is unwilling to take over Juventus." Deschamps said sarcastically.

This made Pintus, the physical coach on the side, cough heavily twice and reminded Deschamps to be careful what he said, as there are people around him.

Deschamps glanced at the kind-hearted Pintus, smiled bitterly, and said nothing more.

Everyone knows that at Juventus, the name Gao Shen is taboo.

But unfortunately, only Deschamps knew in his heart that he must defeat this name.

This is what Seco asked of him when he coached Juventus.

Upgrading and defeating Gao Shen are Deschamps' two major goals for this season. Only if they are achieved can he renew his contract and stay.

…………

Napoli beat Ascoli in Serie A 2-0.

Juventus reversed Serie B's Cesena 2-1 away from home.

Both teams once again advanced to the third round of the weekend.

And this round can almost be said to be hell for the Serie B team.

Pescara, coached by Ballardini, who shined in the last round, lost 0-3 at home to Atalanta of Serie A in this round. They lost cleanly and lost in all aspects.

One of the favorite teams to be promoted to Serie B, Piacenza met the Serie A relegation team Messina in an away game. The result was not much suspense. They lost directly 0-2 and were eliminated.

Rimini, who was equally strong, faced Sampdoria at home. After a 1-1 draw, they suffered a goal from their opponent at the last moment. They lost 1-2 and were eliminated from the Italian Cup.

Verona's game against Cagliari was almost the same as Rimini's. They fell behind by one goal first, then tied it, and finally conceded the goal.

In the second knockout round of the Coppa Italia, almost all Serie B teams that met Serie A teams declared defeat.

The only exception is Naples.

The southern team led by Gao Shen defeated Ascoli 2-0 at home and became the only winner in the all-out showdown between Serie A and Serie B.

Although there are many Serie B teams that have reached the top 16 of the Italian Cup, several other teams were promoted after encountering teams from lower leagues. Only Naples advanced after counterattacking to challenge Serie A teams.

Full of gold content.

This can be regarded as the first time Naples has performed convincingly under the guidance of Gao Shen.

Especially against the backdrop of several other failed Serie B teams.

In the top 16, there are nine Serie B teams, seven Serie A teams, and all teams from the C1 and C2 leagues were eliminated in the first and second rounds.

This also makes the draw for the next third knockout round even more eye-catching.

Everyone can see that this will be a suspenseful showdown.

Especially strong teams like Lazio and Juventus, which no one wants to encounter.

…………

…………

For example, in the drawing ceremony of the Italian Cup, representatives of the clubs will be present to testify.

Naples arranged for general manager Marino to go to the Football Association headquarters in Rome to attend the draw ceremony.

However, since it was only the third round of the cup, and strong teams such as AC Milan and Inter Milan did not participate, it did not attract much attention, and there was no TV station to broadcast it live.

To really attract attention, you have to wait until the fourth round.

That is to say, after the top eight teams in Serie A joined the cup last season, the competition really became intense.

Gao Shen, as usual, watched the team conduct recovery training on the morning after the game.

The effect of Buenaventura's training arrangement is very obvious, and the players will recover faster.

There are many young players in Naples, so the feeling is not obvious yet, but when I was at Real Madrid, there were more older players, and the recovery effect was quite good, so after arriving in Naples, I basically followed this method.

After the training, Gao Shen also communicated with some players as usual.

The club contacted Sanchez's parents about a job in Naples, and Gao Shen asked him how the job was going.

Also, in the new season, the team will sign Sanchez up for the second team because he is technically only seventeen years old.

But age is not a problem, the key is Italy's foreign aid quota limit.

Each team has three foreign player quotas, but Naples currently has four non-European players, namely Sanchez, Vidal, Gervinho and Vargas.

As for players like Biglia, Di Maria, David Luiz and Cavani, they all have dual nationalities.

This is also a characteristic of South American foreign aid, with many dual nationalities.

As for how their dual citizenship was handled, this is something that Gao Shen cannot interfere with.

From the 1990s to the beginning of the century, when Italy was still the heyday of the Mini-World Cup, foreign players basically did not interfere. This resulted in nearly half of Serie A at that time being filled with foreign players, which was quite overwhelming and seriously squeezed the living space of local Italian players.

Therefore, at the beginning of the century, the Italian Football Association began to limit the number of foreign players. However, at this time, the number of foreign players for most teams in Italy exceeded the limit. Only then did they have to sell one foreign player before introducing another foreign player.

Veron's fake passport case that shocked the world back then was said to be Veron's great-great-grandfather. Well, I don't know how many generations of his ancestors immigrated to Argentina from southern Italy, so he said he had Italian ancestry.

Lazio helped Veron apply for Italian citizenship through some channels, but the Italian Football Association believed that Veron's dual citizenship was illegal and even banned him from the world for two years, so Veron moved to Manchester United.

As the saying goes, if the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one foot high.

Nowadays, many South American players who intend to stay in Europe will apply for dual citizenship as early as possible if they can. After all, this is really an advantage.

Gao Shen brought in Vidal on a whim, so Napoli now has one more foreign player.

Fortunately, the Italian Football Association also has regulations that allow a maximum of one foreign player for the youth team, so Sanchez can use the foreign player quota for the youth team to register, up to the age of 21.

Sanchez also understood this.

For him, as long as he can play football in Italy and bring his family back, he will be satisfied.

"Thank you, boss!" the Chilean winger said sincerely.

Gao Shen smiled and patted his shoulder, "Come on."

After saying goodbye to Sanchez, Gao Shen walked back and received a call from Marino halfway.
