Before the season, former Juventus coach Lippi once said that Juventus can persist in the championship competition in the new season because there is a determination and enthusiasm in Juventus' blood that allows them to focus on every game.
.
Lippi also said that old players with Juventus tradition and experience are the key to the team's good results.
So far this season, what Ranieri has emphasized the most is the so-called Juventus spirit.
A long season is like a marathon run. Strength alone is not enough, you must also have strong mental strength.
This is also the reason why Gao Shen chose to fight against Inter Milan.
This kind of spirit of the team can never be obtained by training or accumulation, but must be tempered by real games.
In this game, Gao Shen felt a contradiction from the Juventus lineup and after playing for 60 minutes.
He didn't know why he felt this way.
From the perspective of the lineup, Juventus seems to be taking the initiative to attack, so Zanetti, who has just recovered from injury, was placed on the bench and replaced by Almiron. Everyone knows that what this Argentine player is best at is
Organization and attack...
But judging from the game process, Juventus was conservative.
Ranieri is like using Almiron and Nocerino as double midfielders, but these two players are not strong in defensive and interception abilities, and neither can provide running coverage and defensive interception like Zanetti.
.
So the question becomes, why use Almiron instead of Zanetti?
Gao Shen didn't understand.
But, it's not important anymore.
In 2003, at a world coaching tactics seminar in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Pereira, who led Brazil to win the World Cup in 1994, once made a prediction.
He outlined a blueprint, which is the frontless tactic, or the false nine tactic, or 460.
Later, FIFA focused on this idea and organized many meetings, so much so that there was a saying: To play without a forward, you have to have six Decos in the midfield.
The implication is that the six midfielders in a forwardless tactic must be both offensive and defensive, like Deco.
Later, this style of play was tried in Italy.
That's Spalletti's Roma.
There is no outstanding center, but there is an all-around Totti, so Spalletti organizes Roma's offense around Totti. This is very different from the 460 outlined by Pereira, but it is in Italy
Shine brilliantly.
When Gao Shen played against Roma, he studied Spalletti's book in the tactical library and learned many of his ideas.
In fact, the core is indeed Totti, but Pizarro also plays a huge role.
The reason for the disastrous defeat to Naples last season was that Spalletti believed that he ignored Perrotta's role, because he always felt that Totti was in charge of offense in the front, Pizarro was in charge of organization in the back, and Perrotta was a functional player.
Within the operating mechanism of this set of forwardless tactics, there is one thing that interests Gao Shen very much, and is also something Bielsa emphasizes and attaches great importance to, which is misplaced rotation.
Everyone knows that Bielsa's tactics have a very conspicuous feature, which is breathtaking oppression.
So how does he allow the team to maintain such high-intensity and fast-paced pressure?
The answer is rotation.
For example, when pressing the opponent's defense, of course the center player is on the front line, but the problem is that the center player will get tired, so at this time, the center will retreat and let the teammates behind him on the wing or in the center to press up. It forms an alternating rotation, a bit like a wheel battle.
When attacking, this rotation will bring another effect.
The center who was supposed to be at the front withdrew, and the players who were supposed to be on the wing or in the middle of the second tier moved forward, creating a dislocation advantage that could also interfere with the opponent's defensive strategy.
Isn’t it very similar to the Roman wolf pack tactic?
Totti withdrew, and players such as Perrotta, Mancini or Taddei stepped in.
Looking at Manchester United in the last two seasons, is Ferguson also adopting this style of play?
As a direct competitor of Roma and a fan of Bielsa, Gao Shen is naturally very interested in this style of play.
He had already tried this style of play as early as Serie B, but he found a problem, that is, Naples lacked a midfield passer.
That is, dealers like Pizarro of Rome and Carrick of Manchester United.
So Gao Shen introduced Parejo.
When the game entered the 60th minute, Parejo and several substitute players ran out to warm up without anyone notifying them.
Starting from the second half, they would go out to warm up every once in a while, and everyone was used to it.
But after 65 minutes, Parejo went out alone again.
Then when they came back, everyone saw the former Real Madrid youngster appearing next to Gao Shen on the sidelines.
Gao Shen pulled him and whispered something over there, making gestures constantly.
This made Christian Damiano in the visiting team's coach's bench very puzzled, but also a little panicked.
Obviously, Gao Shen needs to be replaced.
what to do?
Damiano turned around, raised his head, and found that the stands were crowded with people.
Damn it, the attendance rate in Naples is too high!
Where is Ranieri sitting?
Why didn't you give the slightest signal?
Didn't he already tell Seko his seat during the halftime break?
If there is no signal, how can I adjust it?
In the stands, Ranieri was also anxious.
He has clearly told Seko which section he is sitting in and which row he is sitting in. Seko has also vowed to arrange for someone to come and join him. How can he?
Ranieri stood up anxiously and looked at Gao Shen and Parejo in front of the home team's coach's bench in the stadium.
He knew very well that Gao Shen was going to be replaced!
The Naples storm is coming!
Gao Shen has been waiting, waiting for Juventus' physical fitness to decline, waiting for the opportunity to attack in a big way.
even……
Ranieri suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
He was worried that the person he was contacting was also blocked by Gao Shen and Naples?
Otherwise, how to explain that person's delay in showing up?
"Damn it, make a substitution, make a substitution quickly, strengthen the defense!" Ranieri shouted.
When this voice was shouted out, he immediately became the target of public criticism.
All around, all Naples fans stared at him maliciously.
If looks could kill, Ranieri would have been cut to pieces by now.
"Sit down, sit down quickly." The Italian Football Association official next to him quickly pulled him down. "Are you crazy? Do you think this is Turin? This is Naples!"
Ranieri was speechless and wanted to say, "I know, but I don't believe they dare to beat me."
But soon, Ranieri thought of another way and stood up again, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Just as he was about to leave his seat, he noticed that at least three or four people in front and behind him had also stood up at the same time.
Damn it, they need to go to the bathroom too?
Ranieri walked to the bathroom anxiously and found that he could not meet anyone else the whole time.
He really wanted to stay for a while, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see the game.
"Nima, how could this be possible?" Ranieri cried sadly.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard banging on the door from outside.
"Is anyone there? Come on, have you fallen after squatting for so long?"
Not to mention how ferocious the tone was.
Ranieri became depressed, "Isn't there an empty seat next to me?"
"Every time I go to the St. Paul Stadium, I get used to this position. You care about me, hurry up!"
Ranieri almost went crazy, was it necessary to do something so outrageous?
But at this moment, a burst of thunderous cheers suddenly erupted in the stadium, which immediately shocked Ranieri.
I instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
So, the Italian coach hurriedly opened the door and rushed out, quickly walked out of the bathroom, and walked back into the stands. He happened to see the Naples players rushing out of the stadium, and the entire stands were standing up and cheering crazily.
Naples fans.
Ranieri immediately turned to look at the scoreboard and secretly screamed: It's over!
One to zero!
Napoli scores a goal!
How long did it take to make the substitution before a goal was scored?
Ranieri was almost angry to death.
When I returned to my seat, I saw that the Italian Football Association official was also very excited, and immediately asked strangely: "Who scored the goal?"
"Angel!"
"Who?" Ranieri didn't understand.
"Angel Di Maria, Angel's goal!" the official shouted again.
"How did you get in?" the tinker asked angrily.
The official suddenly became excited, "I have to say, Gao Shen's substitutions are really amazing, and the way he looks at people is really amazing. I didn't expect that his substitutions would be effective. He hit Juventus directly."
Tusi is in danger."
"What's the meaning?"
"Parejo replaced Rakitic. In the deep midfield position, he stopped the ball and got rid of Almiron. After dribbling the ball to attract Nocerino, he passed it to Hamsik and forced Lerottaglie.
On the attack, Pellet retreated and pulled out Chiellini, leaving the penalty area empty."
"At this time, Hamsik made a pass from behind, and Di Maria crossed into the penalty area and easily scored with one shot!"
When he said this, the officials cheered loudly again.
"The substitutions made by Gao Shen are really amazing!"
Ranieri sat there blankly, a little at a loss and full of fear.
He realized that he had fallen into the trap Naples had set for him.
For a while, Gao Shen deliberately slowed down his offensive. What he really wanted was the furious attack in the last twenty minutes.
"Danger! Too dangerous!" Ranieri was completely out of breath.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about the mafia or Naples fans. He was only thinking about one thing, he had to stop Naples' attack!
Gao Shen’s conspiracy must be prevented from succeeding!
Juventus should make adjustments immediately to strengthen the team's defense, especially freezing Parejo.
If Naples continues to attack like this, Ranieri can't imagine whether he will become the second Roma team!
Not this Roma this season, but the Giallorossi team last season!
If he really loses that miserably, then Ranieri may have only one outcome.
