After a two-week ceasefire, Serie A has reignited the war.
Lazio, currently ranked first, continued its good form two weeks ago. With Zarate's goal, Lazio defeated Sampdoria 1-0 at home and continued to occupy the top spot in the standings.
But Turin's luck was not so good and they drew 1-1 with Reggina away from home.
The real surprises were AC Milan and Roma.
Ancelotti and Spalletti both suffered serious losses in this round.
Roma advanced by one goal in the away game, but lost three goals in a row, and finally lost to Palermo 1-3 in the away game.
AC Milan lost 2-0 to Genoa away from home, with Diego Milito scoring a penalty kick at the last moment of the game.
Both the Rossoneri and Giallorossi suffered such defeats in the second round, which is indeed surprising.
Especially AC Milan, after introducing stars such as Ronaldinho and Flamini this season, its overall strength has improved. As a result, instead of improving, the team's performance has suffered two consecutive losses at the beginning.
Ancelotti is obviously really in trouble.
In other words, he is really helpless about the current situation of the team.
Put it into the last three games.
Juventus faced Udinese at home, and Amauri's goal helped the Bianconeri win three points at home.
Inter Milan got a big victory.
The joining of Lucio has greatly improved Inter Milan's defensive strength, and the arrival of Moutinho, Pandev and Quaresma has made Inter Milan's frontcourt attack more powerful.
In the first half, they took a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Moutinho and Quaresma.
After changing sides in the second half, Pandev won again.
In the end, Inter Milan defeated Catania 3-0 at home and won another three points.
…
Compared to Inter Milan, Naples encountered a challenge from Prandelli's Fiorentina at home.
Viola Viola has been one of the strongest teams in Serie A in the past two years. Although they are visiting the Sao Paulo Stadium, they still have a frontcourt trident of Mutu, Gilardino and Santana, and their attacking firepower can be said to be extremely fierce.
The midfielder is centered on Montolivo, while Jovetic, Osvaldo and Pacini also sit on the bench.
Facing Florence with so many talents, Gao Shen did not dare to be careless.
In addition, he was going to Madrid in the middle of last week to challenge Real Madrid away from home, so Gao Shen played almost a full substitute lineup in this game, and all the South American internationals were absent.
Despite this, Naples is now full of talents and still has a very competitive lineup.
Goalkeeper: Handanovic.
Defense: Dossena, Cannavaro Jr., Benatia and Maggio.
Midfield: Vidal and Nainggolan form a double defensive midfielder, with Callejon, Hamsik and Mertens in front.
Center: Pellet.
This is the time when three members of the Mohawk Triangle played at the same time in the Naples team.
The combination of Nainggolan, Vidal and Hamsik looks very lethal.
Facts have also proved that the strangulation ability of these three people in the midfield is really very powerful, especially the double midfielders.
It's just that the sense of position is somewhat lacking and the protection of the defense line is not adequate.
In the 40th minute, Gilardino's header was returned, giving Mutu space to step in. The double midfielders failed to keep up in time, and the snake-like Romanian forward grabbed the second goal, starting from the penalty area.
The kick hit the goal and opened the scoring for Florence.
After changing sides in the second half, Naples launched a wave of fierce attacks.
After being scolded by Gao Shen at halftime, Naples performed more vigorously in the second half.
When Callejon made a forced breakthrough from the left, he passed the ball to the center. Hamsik then shot in and scored, successfully equalizing the score for Naples.
After that, neither side could do anything else.
Gao Shen changed two players in a row in the 60th and 65th minutes.
First, Pastore was used to replace Mertens, Callejon was moved to the right, and the Argentine teenager was allowed to take the left wing position.
Just five minutes later, Gao Shen replaced Nainggolan with Parejo.
With two consecutive substitutions, Naples strengthened its control of the midfield, especially its control of the ball.
Just six minutes after the substitution, it was Pastore who advanced with the ball from the left and passed it across to Parejo. The Spaniard and Hamsik completed a two-on-one in the middle to hit the wall.
The ball was distributed to Maggio who came in from behind.
The Italian full-back suddenly inserted into the right rib of the penalty area and fired furiously, scoring the reversal goal for Naples.
Two to one!
In the end, Naples reversed Fiorentina 2-1 with two goals from Hamsik and Maggio.
…
After two rounds of games, Napoli ranks third in the standings with two consecutive wins, behind Lazio at the top and Inter Milan at second. Both teams have six points and a five-goal difference.
The outside world also received mixed praise and praise for Naples' narrow victory.
Everyone who agrees believes that Naples was able to win Fiorentina with a substitute lineup after two weeks of national team matches, which shows the strength of the team, and Gao Shen is obviously saving his strength for the first game of the Champions League in midweek.
But many people believe that Naples's approach is dangerous.
Once you fail to take care of both ends, you may lose everything at any time.
Gao Shen spoke highly of the team's performance at the post-match press conference.
"A good rotation mechanism can help us be in better shape in two-line or even three-line operations."
Gao Shen once again reiterated: One lineup cannot satisfy multi-line operations.
He almost said frankly: Here comes Ancelotti.
…
In fact, it's not just senior officials who are rotating.
Schuster's Real Madrid are also rotating.
Even after losing to Deportivo La Coruña 1-2 in the first round, in the second round of La Liga at home against newly promoted Numancia, Schuster also played with most of the substitutes.
Except for Van Nistelrooy, Robben and Guti, they are all substitutes or rotations.
But perhaps it was also because of the strong rotation that Numancia became extremely brave at the Bernabeu.
Only six minutes into the game, Numancia took the lead and scored.
Although it didn't take long for Van Nistelrooy to assist Guti to equalize the score, but just three minutes later, Numancia exceeded the score again.
It only took three minutes for Real Madrid to equalize the score this time, and the goal was scored by teenager Higuain.
Eight minutes later, Van Nistelrooy assisted Van der Vaart to score the third goal.
In the 40th minute, Numancia defender Coleman scored an own goal.
Real Madrid led 4-2 in the first half.
But no one expected that in the second half, after changing sides and fighting again, Real Madrid suddenly played in chaos. Numancia quickly seized the opportunity and scored a goal. Even then, the newly promoted team created opportunities continuously, again and again.
Threaten Real Madrid's goal.
Although Real Madrid won 4-3 in the end, Numancia's performance throughout the game was amazing.
Compared to newly promoted teams, Real Madrid has many hidden dangers.
…
Gao Shen watched the game with the coaching staff.
Although it was just a live broadcast and he did not go to the scene, he still had a preliminary impression of Real Madrid. The details will not be further confirmed until the first-hand information brought back by the scouts from Madrid.
But now, he already has preliminary ideas.
"First of all, Real Madrid's defense has a big problem. Marcelo, Metzelder, Pepe and Salgado. I even doubt that the four players in this defense may not appear in midweek. In the game.”
Real Madrid now also have Heinze, Cannavaro, Ramos, Arbeloa and Miguel Torres.
Today's Marcelo is still very young, defense is a very serious problem, and Pepe, he is still in the monk stage.
Salgado had already lost his main role during Gao Shen's coaching period, but now Schuster still uses him.
As for Metzelder, after he came to Real Madrid, he did not perform at the same level as he did in Germany.
"The formation is most likely still 4,42, but judging from this game, Ruud van Nistelrooy's position is very interesting."
After the advanced point came out, others followed suit.
Everyone knows that Ruud is a center with a strong scoring ability, but he has a natural weakness, that is, he relies heavily on passes from teammates behind him.
But in tonight's game, Van Nistelrooy's role on the court has changed. He is more of a wanderer outside the penalty area, responsible for getting the ball, which means he plays a certain center role. What really appears in the penalty area is Higuain.
Van der Vaart is on the left and Robben is on the right. This pair of Dutch wings is Real Madrid's best performance this season.
Especially Van der Vaart has performed very well since joining.
From this point of view, Schuster has no reason to make adjustments.
"Guti also played very well and should continue to play. His partner is likely to be Mohamed Diarra or Gago. If it is the former, it will be more balanced. If it is Gago, it is clear that he will Play against us." Carlo analyzed.
Zidane thought for a while and said: "At the Bernabeu, it is entirely possible to take advantage of the home court advantage and catch us off guard. After all, we lack experience and we must be stable at the beginning."
After a pause, Zidane added: "Don't forget, there is also De La Red in the midfield."
Of course Gao Shen will never forget this former beloved general.
Real Madrid actually has some talent now, but they don't have any superstars. But as long as they are built well, they will still be very competitive.
It's a pity that Schuster is not such a talent.
Gao Shen agrees with Zidane's analysis.
Many of Naples' players are playing in the Champions League for the first time, and they are all new recruits. Moreover, they are facing Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Under such circumstances, if Naples wants to fight Real Madrid from the beginning, it is basically impossible things.
Napoli's start is definitely looking for stability, and Real Madrid will definitely take advantage of this.
Otherwise, Schuster is not worthy of sitting in the coaching position of Real Madrid.
In the game against Fiorentina, Gao Shen hid Rakitic and Thiago Motta. In fact, he was just waiting for this game.
Thiago Motta is experienced, Rakitic is stable, and there is Biglia, so Napoli's midfield is solid and stable.
As for how to defeat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, Gao Shen still needs to think about it carefully.
The assistants also expressed their opinions and spoke freely.
