After changing sides in the second half, neither side made any substitutions.
The game seemed to be still like the first half, with a stalemate of one offense and one defense.
Everyone could clearly see that the smiles on Ventura's face were getting bigger and bigger.
The famous Italian coach obviously saw that the game was moving in the direction he designed, and the turning point he designed was getting closer and closer.
But when the game reached the sixty-minute mark, Naples was ready to make substitutions.
Moreover, two of them need to be replaced at one go.
I saw the young Spanish teenager Parejo and Chilean winger Sanchez both completing their warm-ups and walking towards Gaoshen.
Both players stood in front of Gao Shen and listened carefully to Gao Shen's tactical adjustments after they came on the field.
Ventura, who was in front of the home team's coaching bench, saw this and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
what the hell?
Substitute two players at once?
He felt a little dangerous, but if he changed players, he didn't know what Gao Shen was paying attention to, and how to change?
hold on!
…
Parejo replaced Chilean midfielder Vidal.
Sanchez replaced Belgian winger Mertens.
Both substitutions were counter substitutions, which doesn't seem unusual.
Ventura felt a little relieved.
But when the game started again, he realized something was not right.
Naples began to patiently control and pass the ball in the midfield. Instead of immediately launching a counterattack after grabbing the ball as they did just now, Naples slowed down the pace of the game and advanced slowly.
The trident in the frontcourt was also obviously more active, frequently crossing positions, especially Sanchez and Callejon, who often appeared on the same side, which made it difficult for Pisa's defensive players to cope.
In the 69th minute, two players appeared on the left side of the frontcourt at the same time.
A long pass from David Luiz behind him reached the frontcourt and hit the back of the Pisa defense.
Pelela went to the left side of the penalty area, grabbed the first spot, and handed the ball to Sanchez.
After the Chilean winger tried to break into the penalty area with the ball, he suddenly knocked back and made space.
I saw Callejon following closely behind, stopped, hit the goal directly with his right foot, and the ball hit the net, one to zero!
This is the first time for the Real Madrid youngster since joining Napoli.
In previous games, he performed very hard, but not outstandingly.
But now, after Naples straightened out its organization and offense, he began to take advantage of his speed and technical advantages.
Gao Shen also clapped hard on the sidelines and cheered loudly for Callejon's goal.
"Well done, Jose!" Gao Shen gave Callejon a high-five as he ran over.
"Keep up the good work!"
Turning his head, Gao Shen found that Ventura, who was smiling just now, could no longer laugh at this moment.
This made him quite happy.
The most important thing is that this old man really doesn't look good when he smiles.
…
Napoli's goal broke the deadlock on the field and also created chaos.
The zero-to-zero stalemate had been deadlocked for more than sixty minutes, and when it was suddenly broken, everyone in Pisa was anxious.
They began to try to put more pressure on Naples, especially when Naples passed and controlled the ball, and even tried to press in the midfield and frontcourt.
But they soon discovered that Naples players had excellent foot skills.
Although the cooperation is not tacit enough, it is not difficult to sneak them around.
Only five minutes had passed since the previous goal. Parejo suddenly passed the ball behind him.
Callejon quickly went straight behind him, before all the defensive players were in place, and stopped Parejo's pass with his side chest.
As soon as the ball was stopped, Callejon dunked past the defensive player and passed the ball near the penalty spot.
Pellet quickly stepped in and shot the ball straight into the lower right corner of the Pisa goal.
Two to zero!
"Wow!!!!"
Gao Shen shouted excitedly on the sidelines.
As early as when he was at Real Madrid, he already knew that Callejon's little motorcycle was not only fast and technical, but also very smart in his movement, especially the anti-offside move, which was really good.
As for Parejo, he never doubted the player's creativity.
He even hired Parejo because he was interested in his creativity and ability to pass the final ball.
But Parejo also has problems, that is, his body is still too thin and his defensive ability is insufficient.
If he lets Biglia, Parejo and Thiago Motta partner in the midfield from the beginning, Napoli may lose the ball, so Parejo still needs to continue to strengthen.
Fortunately, he was only eighteen years old, so it was still early.
…
Ventura's experience is indeed very rich. After seeing Naples' adjustments, the offensive organization has improved greatly, especially after scoring two goals in five minutes. He immediately sensed the danger and made decisive adjustments.
He also learned from Gao Shen and replaced two players in a row, but he only strengthened the midfield and defense.
As the head coach of Italy, he is good at tactics, and he is not stupid. He clearly saw that after adjusting substitutions, Naples focused on strengthening the midfielder's ball control and passing ability.
Parejo's running, defense, and physical confrontation are not as good as Vidal, but he brings another style, which is passing. The most typical one is the second ball, the one he gave to Callejon.
The foot pick pass is full of imagination.
In Italy, such midfielders are very rare and highly sought-after.
After two consecutive substitutions, Pisa stabilized its position, but the counterattack planned by Ventura before the game was no longer possible.
The old Italian coach could only accept this embarrassing result depressingly, that is, he lost.
He really didn't expect that the sophisticated Napoli could play such football and have such a player in the midfield.
The game also entered a stalemate again due to Pisa's substitutions.
But Naples players are still very active and constantly looking for opportunities.
Until the 88th minute, the Pisa midfielder got the ball and was intercepted.
After Biglia stole the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball forward and sent a through ball to the left side of the frontcourt.
Sanchez had just changed positions with Callejon. After stopping the ball on the left, facing the Pisa right back and midfielder who were about to encircle him, he suddenly accelerated, dribbling the ball and cutting in laterally, breaking away from the defense of the two players.
Then, there was another sudden stop, and then suddenly started to accelerate, and then got rid of the attacking central defender.
After getting out of the gap, Sanchez didn't wait for the surrounding defensive players to block him, and directly shot with his right foot.
The ball drew an arc and turned into the upper right corner of Pisa's goal.
Three to zero!
Sanchez excitedly turned around and rushed out of the stadium after scoring, cheering all the way, roaring past the home team's coaching bench, and hugging Gao Shen in front of the visiting team's coaching bench.
All the players rushed over, surrounded the two of them, and celebrated the team's goal and upcoming victory on the sidelines.
…
The players came roaring in and roared away.
The game is not over yet, they have to return to the stadium again.
But Gao Shen spread his hands and looked at the wrinkled suit on his body, which was like a vegetable leaf. He showed a wry smile that was about to cry without tears.
"This set is new!"
He had a brand new jersey specially tailored for the new season of Serie A. He only wore it for the second time tonight and it looked like this.
The key is, it's sticky and made of sweat...
"They must have done it on purpose!" Gao Shen said harshly.
I'm definitely envious of his new suit, and he's so handsome!
Carlo, Lucas and others couldn't help laughing behind them.
Facts have proved that being too loved by players is not necessarily a good thing.
"Okay, Gao, it's okay. It's public money anyway. Let's make a few more later!" At the end of the sentence, Carlo snorted, unable to hold back, he laughed again.
He still remembered that Gao Shen went to Milan to pick out the style of this suit. He said it was casual with a touch of elegance, and that the color was restrained and coquettish...
Now... being ravaged by a group of barbarians... so cruel!
…
Naples finally defeated Pisa 3-0 away with goals from Callejon, Pelle and Sanchez.
Three goals were scored in the last thirty minutes, which also proved Gao Shen's on-the-spot command and control of the game situation, especially Napoli's tactical adjustments before and after substitutions, which also made Gao Shen satisfied with the team's performance.
One more tactical method means one more ability to survive and score points.
Playing at home, they were defeated 0-3 by Naples. Ventura suffered a painful blow no matter how you looked at it.
The old Italian man seemed to be lacking in interest and was obviously tired.
Especially in the first sixty minutes, the smile that appeared on my face from time to time completely disappeared.
Despite this, he still came over gracefully, shook hands with Gao Shen, congratulated him on his victory in the game, and praised Naples' outstanding performance.
Gao Shen more or less heard some insincerity in his words, but he didn't care anymore.
You can't win the game and still ask others to convince you, right?
Gao Shen also praised Pisa's performance, but only briefly. After all, he talked too much, and Ventura should have misunderstood him as being sarcastic and sarcastic. Who made Naples win 3-0 so beautifully?
In fact, there was a moment when Gao Shen really wanted to explain to Ventura that the words he said at the pre-match press conference were misinterpreted by the media or were deliberately distorted. I hope he can explain it to Ventura.
Talk it over to avoid embarrassment.
But he resisted the urge and did not speak.
If you think about it carefully, it's actually not necessary.
Naples now has a 3-0 win. To explain at this time will inevitably give Ventura bad associations with other aspects. It may not be able to achieve the effect of explanation, and may even deepen the misunderstanding.
On the other hand, explaining this kind of thing also depends on the situation and the object.
Some people have things that no amount of explanation will help. People who don't believe will never believe it. Even if you put ironclad evidence in front of them, they will still feel that it is false. They only believe what they believe.
Ventura has been coaching for most of his life, doesn’t he know what media reporters are like?
If you choose to believe it, then no matter how many profound explanations are given, what's the use?
If you don't believe it, then why bother explaining it in depth?
True and false, false and true.
Nowadays, the game rules of professional football naturally include the media.
If it is said that part of the money the head coach earns is attributable to him, then part of it must also be misunderstood.
