From the first minute of the game, Gao Shen was aware of how difficult it was.
In the first two minutes, Napoli made a breakthrough from Hamsik in the middle and hit a long shot.
But just a minute later, Juventus attacked and tried to find Trezeguet, but Bonucci intercepted the ball first. As a result, Trezeguet directly tackled Bonucci with the ball from behind.
Flip to the ground.
This was a very bad foul and should have been a direct red card.
But at the Alpstadion, referee Rocky only gave a yellow card warning.
This directly led to a rapid increase in the tension between the players on both sides on the court, and there were more and more minor frictions.
Naples ran very aggressively, pressing and pressing very hard, but Juventus' players had a greater physical advantage, and they were playing at home.
There is one scene that is very representative.
Trezeguet, who already had a yellow card, committed another serious foul in the 13th minute, with an elbow and a knee.
But this time, Rocky let him go again.
This made Gao Shen very dissatisfied on the sidelines and loudly questioned the referee on the court. Such an obviously bad foul was not restrained. So what kind of game did he want?
The angry result was that Gao Shen got a yellow card.
After that, the game got a little out of control. Both sides played very fiercely, but the moves continued.
Ranieri seemed to be well prepared for this, with Mohamed Sissoko and Portuguese midfielder Thiago lined up in the midfield, Nedved on the left and Nocerino on the right.
These players are not simple.
Naples had the advantage on the scene and created several opportunities, but they failed to turn into a threat.
The first half ended in a 0-0 draw.
…
During the halftime break, Gao Shen severely scolded his players.
Although Naples is younger and has a harder time controlling his temper, in any case, it is wrong to play into the hands of his opponents.
Especially such a low-level provoking method.
"The consequences of being angered, take a look for yourselves, what was the performance like in the first half?"
Gao Shen directly took photos of Lucas's statistics about the first half in front of the players.
In fact, as a young man, he can understand the anger in the players' hearts.
He even suspected that this was a tactic deliberately arranged by Ranieri.
Juventus wanted to hold on but did not have the confidence to hold on, so they used this method to anger Naples.
This is not the first time that an opponent has adopted such tactics, just because this time the opponent is Juventus.
…
After being scolded by Gao Shen at midfield, Naples' performance changed dramatically in the second half.
The team began to organize and plan attacks one after another, especially in the midfield.
Juventus felt the threat and made adjustments in the 55th minute.
Ranieri was obviously also afraid. Trezeguet was very temperamental from the beginning of the game. He should have received a red card for two serious fouls, but he only received a yellow card. This is already a very merciful gesture from the referee.
If you stay on the court any longer, you'll be waiting for a thunderstorm.
So, Raniere replaced Trezeguet with Billindelli and replaced Nocerino with Molinaro.
Two substitutions were made in one go, both to strengthen defense.
Ranieri clearly felt the offensive threat from Naples.
After seeing Juventus make two substitutions, Gao Shen immediately made adjustments.
In the 60th minute, Hamsik was directly replaced by Pastore to strengthen the team's frontcourt offense, especially the ability to dribble the ball in the middle.
After the Argentinian teenager joined the team this season, especially after Pintus joined the team, he created a physical training plan for the players one by one. Pastore's body has made great progress and is obviously better than before. He is very good for the Serie A.
Confrontation is also more adaptable.
After Pastore came on the field, he frequently dribbled the ball into Juventus' defense.
In the past period, Juventus faced Naples' successive attacks, which was very costly. Now Pastore is here again, which greatly increases the burden on the defensive players.
In the 70th minute, Gao Shen made his second substitution, directly replacing Vidal with Parejo, still strengthening the offense.
By this time, Naples' formation had transformed into a four-three-three.
Biglia trailed behind, Pastore and Parejo came forward, and the two young players took turns dribbling the ball to impact Juventus' defensive formation. Especially when Parejo came on, it was even more challenging for Juventus.
of shock.
Before this, Juventus dared to foul outside the penalty area, but Parejo's free kick ability was not weak, and Juventus was immediately restrained. After two consecutive threatening set-piece tactics, the Bianconeri did not dare to do it again.
Foul in dangerous areas.
But facing a Juventus team that was retreating across the board, Napoli didn't have many options.
In the 81st minute, after careful consideration, Gao Shen replaced Callejon with Mertens.
…
Seeing Gao Shen's third substitution, Ranieri really wanted to cry.
Sometimes, he really doubts, what is the structure of the advanced brain?
Pastore, who was worth 500,000 euros, is worth 5 million or even 10 million euros.
There are also Parejo and Callejon, who were introduced from Real Madrid. They were once suspected of being unable to adapt to Serie A, but what about now? Tan Shou
Mertens is worth less, but his performance is also quite good.
With three substitutions, Naples provided three different offensive methods and threats.
After Juventus fully retreated, Napoli began to constantly pull and mobilize, pulling Juventus's formation and defense back and forth. From time to time, there was a sudden burst here and a rush there, which made the Bianconeri players exhausted.
There was a yellow card factor for Trezeguet being substituted, but there were also physical considerations.
But now, there are three veterans, Salihamidzic, Nedvěd and Del Piero on the court, and their physical fitness has been almost exhausted, and they are beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.
Especially Piero, he is now a lone forward, but he can no longer run.
Do you want to make a substitution?
Ranieri was very hesitant.
According to his idea, it would actually be good if this game could be tied. At this time, it would be a good idea to replace Del Piero and strengthen the defense, especially in the middle.
But in this case, the team's counterattack is gone.
When the time comes, how will this group of fans of the home team view him?
The situation was unfavorable, it was a draw at home, and they played conservatively. The key was that they didn't even dare to counterattack...
Ranieri looked at the time, eighty-one minutes.
How about more observation?
…
After Mertens came on the field, he brought profound latest instructions.
He and Sanchez should try to stretch the defense line as far as possible and press forward boldly in the middle.
"Both Del Piero and Nedvěd can't run anymore. We can be bolder in the middle and let go!"
When Bonucci heard this instruction, he looked specifically at the head coach in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, and Gao Shen nodded towards him.
The Italian central defender is partnering with Cannavaro Jr. tonight. He looked at his teammates again. Cannavaro Jr., who was wearing the captain's armband on the field, nodded towards him, as if to say, just relax and be bold.
Press forward.
Bonucci felt confident.
After Napoli stole the ball in their own half, Bonucci immediately ran forward and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Dossena passed the ball to Bonucci from the left, and the Italian central defender stopped the ball and continued to move forward.
Just as he was about to reach the center circle, he saw Parejo running out of space and immediately sent a direct pass.
The Spanish midfielder turned sideways, and when the ball came, he moved forward, barely avoiding the tackle of Portuguese midfielder Thiago, and quickly passed the ball directly in front of Pastore.
The Argentinian youngster rushed forward, got ahead of Mohamed Sissoko, and took a shot of the ball. After it passed Sissoko directly, he caught up with him, stopped the ball forward with his thigh, and accelerated to catch up.
Drive the ball forward.
After Pastore passed Sissoko, he dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Before the defensive player could rush out, he passed the ball diagonally to the right and handed it to Sanchez. He quickly sprinted forward and penetrated
Right side of the restricted area.
Sanchez understood the idea, stopped the ball and passed it diagonally to the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, right on Pastore's sprint line.
As soon as Pastore stopped the ball, he saw Chiellini rushing over. He neither passed the ball back to Sanchez nor looked for the approaching Cavani. Instead, he found a path from the dense crowd in the Juventus penalty area.
Through the gap, the inverted triangle passed back to the penalty spot.
I saw Parejo, who was outside just now, rushing to the penalty spot. Without stopping the ball, he pushed the ball directly.
The ball went straight into the lower left corner of Juventus' goal.
Although Buffon flew to save, he was completely unable to deal with such a shot.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
“Daniel Parejo’s goal!!!”
"Naples finally broke the deadlock in the 84th minute, one to zero!"
"Goal from Spanish teenager Parejo!"
"It's really a wonderful delivery and cooperation."
"Such a Spanish-style goal is very rare in Serie A. Four players, like butterflies flying in the flowers, weaved back and forth, passing and cutting, making it completely impossible for the defensive players to intercept."
"Bonucci's forward pressure and Parejo's stop were able to avoid the defender. Pastore's stop was the most exciting, and the subsequent wall-to-wall cooperation with Sanchez was also very thoughtful."
"The players from Naples played a wonderful combination of passing and cutting and scored Juventus' goal!"
Players involved in the goal, such as Parejo, Pastore, Sanchez and Bonucci, all rushed to the sidelines and hugged each other, surrounded by teammates flying over to celebrate their goals.
Juventus' Alpi Stadium was filled with boos.
They were obviously venting their dissatisfaction with the trend of the game.
They were already quite dissatisfied with the zero-0 draw, and now they were even scored by their opponents.
The key is still such a wonderful teamwork to score goals!
Gao Shen couldn't help laughing when he saw the team breaking Juventus' defense from the center.
The middle is indeed difficult to attack, but sometimes it is also the area where defense is most likely to be lax.
Just like Thiago and Sissoko, after they grabbed the first shot, they stopped chasing.
Gao Shen looked towards the home team's coaching bench.
He wanted to know, if it was zero to one, would Ranieri attack?
But at this moment, the unlucky tinker was frowning with a look of resentment on his face.
