Vidal shrugged helplessly and returned angrily. At the same time, he did not forget to curl his lips at the head coach Gao Shen on the sidelines.
Gao Shen shook his head, smiled, and gave him a thumbs up.
Roma players protested on the court, believing that Vidal had deliberately pushed Aquilani from behind.
However, the referee Sacani did not have any intention of additional penalties and gave Roma a free kick near the center line of the field.
All 60,000 Naples fans in the audience gave warm applause.
…
This is actually just a very small detail in the game.
In the past, when I was still a fan, Gao Shen and many friends who liked watching football felt that watching Serie A games was really boring because both sides played very conservatively.
When both teams attach great importance to defense, neither dare to press out to attack, and both use various small moves to interfere and influence their opponents, it can be imagined that the game scene is really not smooth at all.
This kind of intermittent live broadcast of the game actually affects the fans' viewing experience.
But after coaching, Gao Shen has to say that in terms of tactical content, Serie A is really high.
If nothing else, the fouls committed by Serie A players are really walking the line between calling and not calling.
Not only aggressive players like Vidal, not only elegant central defenders like Nesta, but also Pirlo and even Zidane back then were good players.
This is also a major feature of Serie A.
Just like what Vidal did just now, he did it on purpose, so he committed a foul but didn't get a card.
But Rome's counterattack was interrupted.
"Pay attention to your position." Gao Shen reminded Vidal.
He was passed by Aquilani just now, otherwise, why would he push someone from behind?
Vidal raised his hand to indicate that he understood.
…
Don't sympathize with Roma, because the Red Wolves themselves are not clean either.
Just like this time, when Sanchez took the ball and launched a counterattack from the center line, running wildly and trying to rush into the penalty area, De Rossi suddenly made a fierce sliding tackle.
Although Sanchez was not tackled or the ball was tackled, Sanchez was still staggered. In addition, Cicinho got stuck in his position immediately, and the Naples winger could only watch the ball go out of the baseline.
Then, Naples returned the favor.
When Biglia was defending in midfield, he tackled Perrotta directly, but failed to tackle the ball.
After Perrotta passed Biglia, he quickly sent a through ball to Totti on the right side of the penalty area.
But David Luiz used his strong body to block Totti very timely. The Red Wolves captain desperately tried to push David Luiz down to grab the ball, but there was no way.
The problem is, the damn ball didn't even cross the baseline, so David Luiz could only pass it back to the goalkeeper, and Handanovic directly kicked it forward.
This was considered an unsuccessful defense.
Gao Shen looked at it and shook his head.
Not long after, Naples suddenly made a big move. Biglia quickly moved the ball from the left wing to Sanchez on the right side of the penalty area. The Chilean winger stopped the ball with his chest and moved forward. When he wanted to kick again, he found Juan and Cisini.
Two Brazilian defenders shot towards him at the same time.
Needless to say, Sanchez was tripped by Juan in the penalty area, but the ball was out of his control at that time. The referee did not call a foul, but considered it a successful defense by Roma.
Naples counterattacked after stealing the ball near the midline. Di Maria dribbled the ball wildly and picked up speed, but was flanked by Panucci, De Rossi and Tadei who returned to defense in time.
The poor Argentinian boy was only twenty years old, and his body was already weak. Being pinched by three people was like an eagle catching a chicken. His whole body was in the air and he couldn't move at all. Panucci got the ball.
There is another very representative scene, that is, Naples played a situation on the left, Vargas and Di Maria cooperated, cut inside, and passed the ball across to Pellet in the middle.
When Pelle stopped the ball at the top of the penalty area and turned to take off, there was a whole row of six Roma players in front of him.
Therefore, when the game reached thirty minutes, Gao Shen signaled the team to retreat and stop pressing forward.
Roma can keep up with Naples' rhythm, they can hold the ball, they can play the ball in the midfield, and their defense is very tight. If they continue to press and attack like this, the effect is not ideal, but they may be counterattacked by their opponents.
Although Roma lacks speed, Vucinic is still quite threatening when counterattacking.
At least in this game, Lichtsteiner didn't dare to press forward.
Therefore, Gao Shen can only retreat in order to advance.
…
In the 34th minute, Gao Shen only adjusted for four minutes. When Roma pressed forward to attack, the ball was blocked by Thiago Motta in the 30-meter area of Naples and was intercepted by Bonucci.
.
As soon as the Italian central defender stopped the ball, he just glanced ahead, especially at the positions of the two wingers, and immediately made a long pass.
The ball drew a beautiful arc and landed accurately on the right side of the front court.
Sanchez moved forward as quickly as possible and stopped the ball close to the right sideline.
But Rome's retreat was also very fast.
Cicinho, Juan, Mexes, De Rossi and Panucci have all returned in time.
Cicinho, who was the first to bear the brunt, decisively retreated to the area near the penalty area after failing to grab the ball. As Sanchez approached with the ball, he retreated into the penalty area, but he was always on guard against Sanchez.
In the penalty area, Pellet and Di Maria have arrived, and even Vargas has moved forward to the left side of the penalty area.
But Roma had more defensive players, all blocking Pelle and Di Maria, cutting off the connection between them and Sanchez.
Facing Cicinho, the Chilean winger slowed down, but interfered with his opponent at any time, pretending to make a pass. When his teammates who followed him in the middle were in place, he suddenly made a pass.
軝
Pellet pressed forward knowingly, attracting the attention of the defensive players, but a blue figure behind him quickly rushed forward, jumped high in front of the small penalty area, faced Sanchez's pass, and headed the ball towards the goal.
.
After the ball was hit by him, it quickly went to the lower left corner of Roma's goal and bounced in the small penalty area.
Goalkeeper Dhoni flew sideways but was unable to do anything.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Vidal!!!"
"Arturo Vidal!"
"In the 34th minute, Vidal used a wonderful header to open the scoring for Naples!"
"One to zero!"
The entire St. Paul Stadium cheered wildly.
Everyone was cheering for Vidal's back-and-forth and wonderful header.
Gao Shen also jumped up excitedly on the sidelines, nodding his head and cheering loudly for Vidal's goal.
This is the characteristic of Vidal.
Simple, direct, crude, and at the same time full of aggression.
He was the one who pushed Aquilani from behind just now, and now he is the one who scored the goal with a header.
"This kid worked hard for your farm!" Carlo burst out laughing.
In fact, many people in Naples know that Gao Shen has a joint venture with Vidal and Sanchez to open a farm in Chile to grow cherries and make wine. I heard that the business has only been in business for one year, but sales are already very good.
Within half a year, each person could receive more than 50,000 euros, but they all chose not to pay dividends and continue to expand production scale.
The money is indeed not much, but the business has just started. It is already quite good to make a profit in half a year. As long as we continue to operate, I believe the future prospects are quite promising.
In addition, Gao Shen and Vargas also invested in farms in Peru, and the business was also very good.
Gao Shen was also very happy.
Vidal really has a dream of being a farmer, and many people in the team make fun of him about it.
People with dreams are always very motivated when doing things!
…
Entering the halftime break with a 1-0 lead, Gao Shen did not make adjustments, but continued to let the team enter the second half with the same tactics as the first half.
The same is basically true for Rome.
But in the 55th minute of the second half, Spalletti clearly saw that the team lacked offensive speed in the frontcourt, so he replaced Tadei, who was not performing well, and replaced him with Giuly.
Obviously, he hopes to use Giuly's speed to pose more threats to Naples' defense.
As soon as Giuly came on the court, he posed a threat to Naples' goal.
He made a low pass on the right side of the penalty area, trying to get the ball to the front of the small penalty area, allowing Totti to grab it.
As a result, Handanovic struck decisively and caught the ball first.
Subsequently, the game entered a stalemate stage again.
The two sides continued the little action game like the first half where you mess with me and I mess with you.
This made Spalletti very depressed on the sidelines.
He was willing to accept this situation before because the two sides were zero to zero, but the goal in the first half broke the balance on the field. Now he must find a way to score, equalize the score, or even reverse the situation.
Jiuli doesn't look threatening enough!
Spalletti gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and changed again!
In the 63rd minute, Esposito replaced Perrotta.
The latter was injured, but he still started this game and performed well.
After successive substitutions, Roma has become very aggressive.
For a while, Naples was somewhat suppressed on the court, which made Spalletti very satisfied.
But just two minutes after Esposito came on, which was the 65th minute, he saw that Gao Shen was also about to make a substitution.
Ecuadorian winger Valencia is coming on, replacing Sanchez who just provided an assist.
Matchup substitution?
Spalletti felt very baffled.
But for some reason, the Roma coach suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Especially when he saw Valencia pulling up his shorts, lowering his head, listening to the profound blessings, and nodding his head constantly.
…
In fact, how did Spalletti know that Gao Shen only said one sentence to Valencia.
"Do you remember what I told you before?"
"Remember!" Valencia nodded heavily.
"One fresh trick can be eaten all over the world!"
"Well, when you get up there later, perform well and let me see the results." Gao Shen encouraged.
