The so-called winter break does not actually mean that the team is resting during this period.
Although Serie A is not like the Premier League and has a more intensive schedule around Christmas, the team also began to organize training camps after Christmas. Even with limited financial resources, they still chose to stay in Volto
Norburg...
During the training camp, Gao Shen and his assistants were studying and discussing the next game between Naples and Roma every day.
The head coach of the Red Wolves, Luciano Spalletti, adopts the so-called wolf tactics in the team.
In fact, every team's tactics have a certain inheritance.
Just like the current Real Madrid, the Real Madrid coached by Capello has such a deep imprint of being a great coach that many people question Capello, thinking that he failed to step out of the shadow of a great coach and failed to show the strength of a famous coach.
But they never thought that the people are still basically the same people. They achieved great success during their coaching at Gao Shen, and both their personal abilities and technical characteristics were fully utilized.
After Capello replaces Gao Shen, he must absorb his strengths and advantages. Doesn't that mean he must continue to bring out the characteristics and abilities of these people? How much can the tactics change?
The biggest difference when Gao Shen coached Naples was that he completely overturned the framework of the entire team and built a team entirely of his own from scratch.
It is completely conceivable that when Gao Shen leaves Naples one day in the future, the person who takes over will still be under Gao Shen's shadow, because he must inherit Gao Shen's "legacy", and the club cannot let him overthrow and rebuild.
For the same reason, studying the tactical inheritance of Rome actually has a context to follow.
During Capello's coaching, Roma won a Serie A championship. Many fans still praise Capello's Roma team, thinking that this team plays very proactively and is not like Capello at all.
In fact, if you study it in depth, it is actually very Capello.
Why?
When Capello was at his peak, Roma adopted a 3-5-2 tactic. At that time, three defenders were still very popular in Serie A.
Three defenders, four midfielders, with Totti and two forwards in front, the main one is Batistuta, the god of war, and the other may be Montella, Cassano or Delvecchio.
Capello's style of play at that time actually felt a bit like a Christmas tree, four, three, two, one, both offensive and defensive tactics.
The front trident mainly attacks, the back seven players defend, and the two midfield wings, Candela and Cafu, are full-backs playing in the midfield.
Even Roma's well-known winger Mancini started out as a full-back, coming to replace Cafu, but as he continued playing, he actually became a frontcourt attacker.
It is not difficult to see from this that Capello's tactics are still focused on defense.
In Capello's tactical play, one person is crucial, and that is Totti.
The reason why Ancelotti's Christmas tree did not tear apart was because of Pirlo's long pass and the connection between Seedorf and Kaká, but Roma at that time was Totti.
It can be said that Capello's tactical play brought Totti's personal abilities and role to the extreme. Those years were also the peak of Totti's career.
After Capello, no matter how Roma's tactics change or how they adjust, one thing remains unchanged, and that is Totti.
After Spalletti took over Roma, he organized his tactics around this premise.
Totti is the core fighting force of Roma, which is equivalent to the king and king. Who would be stupid enough to throw away the king and king at the beginning?
Roma under Spalletti faces a completely different situation than Capello, that is, there is no forward.
Batistuta, Montella, Cassano, Delvecchio and others are gone.
Boss Sensi has not invested as much as he did at the beginning of the century, and it is difficult for Roma to introduce high-level forwards.
How to do it?
Spalletti adjusted the team's tactics and pushed Totti's position forward.
There is no way, Totti is too comprehensive.
The attack in the frontcourt still revolves around Totti. When Totti retreats, the midfielder cuts in behind. When Totti pulls wide, the winger cuts behind him, thus forming a set that looks forwardless, but in fact
Anyone can be a forward in the wolf pack tactic.
The premise of this set of tactics is to be able to run.
Vucinic, Taddei, Mancini and other players all launched attacks around Totti.
Roma uses this kind of fast-paced running and pulling to create more offensive opportunities.
In essence, it still revolves around Totti.
…
"In the away game against Roma, Totti must be under control and not let him play freely."
In the coach's office, Gao Shen rubbed his hands and said.
This year, the winter in Italy is really cold. I turned on the heater in the office, but I still felt the cold air rushing up from the soles of my feet, making me shiver all over.
Gao Shen is okay, look at Carlo, Buenaventura and other old people, they are all wrapped up tightly.
"We cannot adopt one-on-one targeted defense, which is detrimental to our overall tactics. We must rely on integrity to build a cage for Totti and lock him in."
Gao Shen stretched out his hand and made a grabbing movement, but found that his fingers were a little stiff.
In fact, Gao Shen rarely assigns people to mark anyone in the game. He mainly focuses on overall tactics.
For example, when I was at Real Madrid, when I played against Barcelona and defended Ronaldinho, although Arbeloa was responsible for it, it was mainly due to him facing off. The two defensive midfielders and even Beckham's return defense were also crucial.
important.
This time against Totti, Gao Shen also plans to do the same.
There are advantages to arranging special personnel to guard, but there are also disadvantages, that is, it can easily cause the defensive order to get out of control.
Whether this is necessary depends on the head coach's own choice.
For a team like Roma, Gao Shen feels that it would be troublesome to arrange someone to keep an eye on Totti.
"I think our passing and possession of the ball will be very advantageous. We can make a fuss about this and bring Roma out to play." Guardiola suggested.
"Well said." Gao Shen pointed at Guardiola and praised, thinking that he was thinking about it together.
The wolf tactic is a nice way to call it, but a bad way to call it is crazy running, or it can be called a full-court press.
As you can tell from the name, Roma is not a stable team.
De Rossi is not stable at all now, and the combination of Chiwu and Mexes on the defense is also not very strong. In this case, if Naples can control the ball, it does not need to be as skillful as Barcelona, but as long as
If they control the ball and the rhythm, Roma will be in danger.
"It all depends on Rudolph's ability." Gao Shen looked at Borrell with a smile.
Borrell, this assistant, is really very capable, and Gao Shen has always had great trust in him, which can be said to be his heart and soul.
"Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements." Borrell chuckled.
Guardiola looked on with envy.
After arriving in Naples, he discovered that Gao Shen had gathered an outstanding team of assistants around him.
Needless to say, Carlo is definitely a head coach who can stand on his own; Buenaventura also needs no introduction, in terms of physical training, he is definitely one of the top in European football; Lucas is sensitive to numbers and
Intelligence analysis; Borrell is very good at training players' skills, ball control, and even defense.
And Lopez, this goalkeeper coach is definitely not simple either.
After coming to Gao Shen's coaching staff, Guardiola was surprised to find that Gao Shen not only had an amazing ability to tap players, but also had an amazing ability to tap assistants.
If nothing else, each of these assistants is extremely capable.
Just like Borrell, Guardiola was wondering why such an outstanding coach didn't show off in Barcelona? Why didn't anyone use him?
In the end, he had to admit that this was the tragedy of the wealthy team.
From Van Gaal to Rijkaard, they all have their own coaching team, and there are many coaches trained by Barcelona themselves, all of whom are lining up to wait for opportunities.
Just like this time, after Tenkat left, Rijkaard needed an assistant coach. The first thing Barcelona thought of was Guardiola. Why? Because he is Barcelona's legendary superstar.
After losing to Real Madrid last season, they were left empty-handed. If Guardiola returns at this time, it can greatly relieve the pressure on the management, because fans are emotional and they hope to see the club treat these legendary veterans well.
After being rejected by Guardiola, the club chose Neeskens. What was the result?
Now the Barcelona locker room is starting to be in chaos.
Sometimes, wealthy clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid often collapse due to internal conflicts.
The result of seniority is that talented people like Borrell are forced to leave the team and choose another boss.

After determining the tactics against Rome, the Naples chariot rumbled into action.
On the one hand, the team uses the winter break training period to accumulate energy for the second half, recharge the players' physical fitness, and strive to perform better in the second half.
On the other hand, the team is also preparing for Roma. In addition to what was mentioned in the coaching meeting, Gao Shen also emphasized the defense on the right, which is Naples' Achilles heel.
Everyone knows that Naples' left wing is mainly offensive. The left wing combination of Gervinho and Vargas is Naples' most powerful offensive line this season, but the right wing is a bit awkward.
Neither Garrick nor Grava was particularly ideal, making it difficult for Sanchez in front to perform better.
Starting from Juventus, almost all teams facing Naples will play on the right side.
The terrible thing is that Roma's left offensive attack is very strong, and both Mancini and Vucinic are very good at moving in this area.
At the same time, Gao Shen was also reading Spalletti's book and Ferguson's book in the tactical library.
Why?
He remembered that in this season's Champions League knockout round, Manchester United reversed Roma by a huge score and won a wonderful victory.
Gao Shen wants to know how Ferguson's Manchester United restrained Spalletti's Roma?
…
On January 10, the second half of the Naples match officially started.
The team, which had been preparing for a long time, set off on the morning of the match day and headed to Rome, 200 kilometers away.
Gao Shen and his team will visit the Olympic Stadium to challenge the Giallorossi.
