Deschamps was already aware of this problem when he got the starting lineups of both sides.
Cavani, who performed well in the first two rounds and scored consecutive goals, did not play and was replaced by Pellet.
Pelle is actually no stranger to Italian football because he was once the number one player in the Italian national youth team. However, as he grew older, he gradually lost his former glory and was gradually forgotten.
But just this summer, he moved to Naples.
Italian media broke the news that it was Gao Shen who appointed Pellet.
Now, Gao Shen has taken Cavani and started Pellet instead. This is by no means aimless.
What on earth does he want to do?
…
With this doubt in mind, Deschamps saw Gao Shen with a smile on his face at the entrance of the players' tunnel.
In fact, Deschamps is no stranger to Gao Shen. He often heard news about Gao Shen from Zidane.
But even so, he was still shocked when he saw the real person.
how to say?
Too young, too young to be true!
At the age of twenty-five, if he were placed in the AC Milan team, he would be the age of a fledgling rookie.
Who would have thought that he is already a double champion of La Liga and the Champions League?
More importantly, when he coached Naples this season, he actually played completely different tactics than when he coached Real Madrid.
I have to say, this is very surprising.
Gao Shen also had a very good impression of Deschamps, because the first time he came into contact with football was the World Cup in France, and Deschamps was the captain of the French national team at that time. Interestingly, he was playing for Juventus at that time.
In fact, Gao Shen had been involved with Deschamps as early as when he was coaching Real Madrid.
Real Madrid reached the Champions League final, and Gao Shen became the youngest coach in the history of the Champions League final. What he broke was Deschamps' record, because in 2004, when Deschamps led Monaco to the Champions League final, he was 35 years old.
Gao Shen has advanced this age by ten years, making it almost difficult for anyone to break him.
I still remember that when Deschamps was interviewed by the media, he even praised Gao Shen.
Who would have thought that just so long ago, the two of them would have become rivals on the court, a life-and-death rival.
…
Although a decisive battle was about to begin, both of them were smiling and very friendly to each other when they shook hands.
Secco has had verbal disputes with Naples, De Laurentiis and Gao Shen, but this has nothing to do with Deschamps.
Moreover, both of them have a common friend, Zidane.
"Before the World Cup final, he told me that you would go watch him play, but you let him down." Deschamps said slowly with a smile, "Later I asked him, I said, is that right?"
Because you didn't go to see him play, he was so angry that he just went against Materazzi?"
After finishing speaking, Deschamps could not help but laugh out loud.
Gao Shen laughed, "No way?"
"The key is, he didn't deny it."
Gao Shen secretly screamed in his heart, "Holy shit, is this case about to be solved?"
Everyone knows that this is actually a joke, but it greatly shortens the distance between them.
This is also common in European football.
At work, everyone fights each other and even attacks each other. This is a routine matter, but in private, we deal with each other as we should. Some people even scold each other in public, but when they turn around, they are very nice to each other in private.
Oil.
This is called distinction between public and private matters.
Before the game, when the two of them talk alone, they can talk about friendship.
But this time is short-lived.
"No matter what, I'm looking forward to the duel with you tonight!" Deschamps extended his hand again.
Gao Shen held it firmly, "I hope it will be a wonderful game!"
Afterwards, the two of them returned to the coaching bench.
…
Deschamps was surprised by Pellet, and Gao Shen was also a little surprised by Deschamps' formation.
He guessed that Deschamps would take a defensive counterattack, but he didn't expect it to be so resolute.
Directly discharged five midfielders.
The key is, should we play 451? Or 4141? Or 4231? Or 4321?
There is actually a difference.
But one thing is for sure, Juventus' defense is very resolute.
Sure enough, as the referee blew his whistle, Juventus immediately chose to shrink its defense.
It can be seen from the formation that they only left Bodinov in front to counterattack, and the rest of the players lined up in two lines.
Yes, there are two.
Needless to say about the defense, Gao Shen basically guessed it right.
In the midfield, Nedved plays on the left, Marchionni plays on the right, and Zanetti, Gianni Keda and Paro are in the middle.
The entire midfield line is in a shallow position, with Gianni Keda at the farthest back, so it can also be said to be 4141.
Naples took the initiative from the very beginning and still adhered to the high-position pressing style used in the first two rounds. They pressed heavily and rushed directly into the hinterland of Juventus, hoping to control the situation and increase the rhythm.
quick.
The two sides started a battle of divisions from the Juventus 30-meter zone to the midline, pulling back and forth, with the ball changing hands frequently, and no one could easily create a threat.
But what surprised many people was that Juventus was not as strong as many people expected before the game. Instead, Naples took advantage of the aggressive attack after the opening to take the lead and launch an attack on Juventus' position.
Juventus shrank its defense and blocked waves of Napoli's attempts and attacks.
There were many scenes of people falling on their backs on the court, and the referee kept blowing whistles.
But overall, the pace is in Napoli's hands.
…
From the moment the game whistle sounded, Deschamps' brows never relaxed.
He began to realize the problem.
Texel is not wrong. Naples' pace is too fast. This kind of fast-paced offense and defense is extremely rare or even non-existent in Serie A, let alone Serie B.
Corresponding to the fast pace are the running and passing of Naples players.
Players can run and have many routes for passing the ball. The faster they can pass, receive, advance and penetrate, and the success rate is also high.
As for personal ability, I haven’t seen it yet.
Naples relies more on pass-and-cut coordination and not much individual performance.
But it is difficult for Juventus to mount an effective counterattack, because as soon as the ball is grabbed, the nearest Naples player, including Pellet, will immediately launch a counterattack.
Deschamps has a feeling that the technical level of Juventus players is not as good as that of their opponents, and under such high-intensity pressure from their opponents, let alone the possession of the ball, they cannot even control their own rhythm of the game and can only follow their opponents.
Wave after wave of attacks, passive response, is like a boat in the vast ocean that cannot help itself.
"It's almost ten minutes," Pezzotti reminded.
Juventus has yet to attack once.
Deschamps nodded.
At this moment, something suddenly happened on the court.
When Bodinov retreated to catch the ball, just as he was about to turn around, he saw David Luiz suddenly grabbing the ball, which not only took the ball away from his feet, but also caused Bodinov to fall to the court, but the referee did not
Whistle.
After David Luiz successfully intercepted the ball, he continued to rush forward and raised his hands to signal his teammates to press forward quickly. He himself leaned to the right, seemingly looking for teammates on the right to cooperate.
Just when everyone thought Napoli was going to launch an offensive along the right, David Luiz suddenly made a long diagonal pass and accurately sent the ball to the left of the frontcourt.
Juventus's defense moved to its left, thus exposing its right.
Gervinho's sprint was hardly hindered. He caught up with David Luiz's long diagonal pass and stopped the ball first. However, the Juventus defense reacted quickly enough, better than Lindley.
He returned to defense in time and blocked the left side of the penalty area.
After the Ivory Coast winger stopped the ball, he slowed down and approached Billindli with the ball step by step.
Seeing that he was about to enter Billindelli's defensive zone, Gervinho suddenly accelerated, skillfully took the ball to the baseline, and rushed directly into the penalty area, forcing Billindelli to follow him immediately.
But Gervinho suddenly made an emergency stop, and Juventus's right back immediately followed suit. But what he didn't expect was that Gervinho was waiting for him to make an emergency stop and directly pushed the ball to the baseline. He suddenly
He started to accelerate, got rid of Bill Lindley by half a body, and passed the low ball to the goal.
Pellet in the middle immediately followed up and took a stab before Kovac and Chiellini.
At the critical moment, Buffon decisively abandoned the goal and flew out. Before Pelle could reach his position, he blocked the ball with both hands.
The ball was saved directly out of the small penalty area by Buffon, but Naples' second wave of offense quickly followed.
Hamsik went straight to where the ball landed and shot straight away.
But his shot hit Kovac and bounced back again.
Gianni Keda, who returned to the goal in time, took the lead and kicked the ball out of the penalty area and directly towards the sidelines.
Although it gave Naples a throw-in, it also destroyed Naples' continuous offense.
The series of offensives created a buzz in front of the Juventus goal, and also made the Naples fans at the San Paolo Stadium enjoy watching it. Everyone shouted with great vigor and passion.
…
"Napoli's attack after the opening was very sharp, and Juventus had a hard time coping with it."
"The consecutive shots just now almost resulted in a goal. The Bianconeri must pay attention, especially Naples's stormy offensive, which made it very difficult for Juventus' defense to parry."
"Deschamps must find an effective way as soon as possible."
…
Gao Shen was as excited as the fans in the stands on the sidelines. He kept shouting at the players on the court, especially David Luiz. The steal of the ball with his kick just now was very beautiful, but what really made people shine.
, or the diagonal pass he made after dribbling the ball forward, which was really eye-catching.
After hearing Gao Shen's shout, David Luiz turned his head and smiled at the head coach on the sidelines, overjoyed.
This kid is just crazy!
"That's it, David, stay focused and don't make mistakes!"
David Luiz turned his head and made a reassuring gesture towards Gao Shen.
It can be seen that this kid is very excited tonight and is in really good condition.
