"I now seriously doubt whether Schuster is a fool?"
At the Pinetina training base in the northern suburbs of Milan, Mourinho and his assistants were watching the live broadcast of the game.
Inter Milan's game is one day later than Napoli's.
As a competitor, he is even more looking forward to seeing a scene in which Real Madrid massacres Naples. In this case, the morale of the advanced team will definitely be greatly reduced, which will lead to mistakes in the league.
But he never expected that Real Madrid's head coach would stretch his hips like this.
"Based on Real Madrid's current lineup, if they play high-post press against Naples, isn't this asking for death? Does he really not know how much he weighs?"
Mourinho was so vomiting blood when he saw it that he felt like he wanted to roll up his sleeves and do it himself.
"Also, during the game, Naples kept adjusting and adjusting. Now that he is so advanced, there are only a few obvious adjustments. He didn't notice it. He even got a goal. He didn't understand it yet..."
Mourinho was really convinced until the end!
He had no idea why Real Madrid would choose such a mediocre person as their head coach?
Besides having a bad mouth and a bad temper, what else does he have?
"I have to say that the superb layout and on-the-spot command are getting better and better." Boas was also quite impressed.
Gao Shen is younger than him, but he is too experienced in coaching the team.
Not to mention anything else, the continuous adjustments during the game are almost all aimed at Real Madrid's weaknesses.
So we can see that during the game, Real Madrid's offense became less and less threatening, while Napoli's counterattacks became more lethal every time. Are these all independent behaviors of the players on the court?
Don't be ridiculous, these are all advanced adjustments!
For example, the targeted defense on Robben's side.
At the beginning, Vargas was defending alone, but he couldn't defend him, so Gao Shen asked Biglia to retreat and help defend Vargas. In this way, the defense was stable, but it lacked flexibility.
Therefore, Gao Shen made another adjustment and simply asked David Luiz to follow Vargas to the side. The two teamed up to restrict Robben. Then Thiago Motta retreated to play as a central defender to cover David Luiz.
The loophole behind the edge.
Biglia and Rakitic dropped back to act as defensive midfielders to protect the defense.
The benefits of this were demonstrated during the second and third goals just now.
The second goal was a long pass from Biglia. The third goal was a counterattack by Biglia and Vargas at the same time. They played a one-two and then planned Di Maria's cross opportunity.
.
Without Gao Shen's previous adjustments, there would not have been these two counterattacks.
But Schuster obviously didn't see the clue.
In this regard, the two head coaches are completely different from each other.
"Actually, there is another problem. Naples' tactical concept is almost a dimension reduction attack." Boas shook his head and sighed.
Judging from the process of tonight's game, Real Madrid is like a machine assembled from parts. Each part plays its own function and role, cooperates with each other, but is independent.
Naples is different. Their tactics are like rings, tightly interlocked with each other. You are in me, and I am in you. Each player can exert different effects and functions in different positions.
Like Real Madrid, they fight on their own, and the entire formation is spread out, which seems to occupy more space, but in fact the distance between the players is widened, so Naples only needs to connect the Real Madrid players with the players.
A wedge was driven into the position, and the operation of Real Madrid's machine immediately jammed.
Just like Real Madrid's offense, every player works alone after getting the ball. Even if they pass the ball, they cannot form a good synergy with their teammates. This makes them look very powerful in the offense, but in fact the effect is
Very few.
But Naples is different. They mainly promote the team in a small area. Just like when Vargas pushed forward, Biglia came to respond, and the two formed a small-scale cooperation.
This creates a very interesting situation. Real Madrid's offense can't do anything against Naples' defense, but Real Madrid's defense can't do anything against Naples' offense.
Especially after twenty minutes, this situation is vividly reflected.
"You're right!" Mourinho praised Villas-Boas. "Schuster's arrogance prevented him from studying the past two years carefully, especially from the time he coached Real Madrid to now.
Changes in the technical and tactical situation in European football."
"If his tactics had been used before Gao Shen's rise, or if he had used them against other teams, there wouldn't have been a big problem, but if he used them against Gao Shen, he would have simply sought his own death!"
"Just wait and see, Naples still has some problems that haven't been solved in the first half. By the halftime break, if Gao Shen figures out the problems clearly, Real Madrid will die even more miserably, and Schuster is finished!"
Villas-Boas, Faria, Baresi and others did not expect that Mourinho's impression of Gao Shen would change so much.
Every time he mentioned Gao Shen before, he would always curse him.
Why is it that after a trip to Nyon, Switzerland, I seem to have completely changed when I come back?
Could it be that the rumors in the industry are true?
Does this mean: The father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at him, the more he likes him?
When he thought of this, Boas raised his eyebrows at Faria. The latter shook his head, but in the end he could not hold back Boas's encouragement.
"Jose." Faria said with a smile, "Why do I feel that you seem to appreciate Gao Shen?"
"Of course you deserve praise for a job well done," Mourinho replied matter-of-factly.
Faria looked at Boas and Baresi, both of whom nodded encouragingly.
"I heard someone say that you are considering taking Tita..."
Tita, the name of Mourinho's daughter.
Before Mourinho finished listening, he immediately got angry, "Who said that? What the hell, it's a non-existent thing. How could I consider such a thing? Tita is only eleven years old!"
Faria was embarrassed.
Both Boas and Baresi looked at the situation with their noses and noses in mind, looking like it was none of their business, but they were thinking in their hearts that there is no smoke without fire.
Besides, Gao Shen can be regarded as a young talent, and he is not too old...
"Damn it, it must be Ancelotti's big mouth, look back and see how I teach him a lesson!" Mourinho became angry with embarrassment.
…………
…………
The first half ended with a score of zero to three.
International practice is that the home team goes first and the visiting team goes last.
When the players from both teams walked off the field, the Bernabeu stadium became very quiet.
Real Madrid fans didn't even cheer for the players or give encouragement, and were obviously very disappointed with this game.
In the words of the live broadcast commentator, "This game tore off all the gorgeous clothes of Real Madrid."
Gao Shen also returned to the locker room early to prepare for the halftime break.
After the players came back, while they were resting, masseurs also came in to relax the players' muscles. Buenaventura and Pintus and others also started to get busy.
Gao Shen, on the other hand, was having a meeting with the players to discuss various issues that arose in the first half.
There was nothing to say about the poor start, but even after twenty minutes, Napoli began to gradually control the situation on the court, and many problems were still exposed. This is what Gao Shen wants the team to make changes.
"The first thing is that we didn't play fast enough."
"I have said many times that our offensive and defensive conversion efficiency must be fast, our coordination must be fast, and we must pass and receive the ball quickly. Only in this way can the whole team be fast. We strive to catch Real Madrid off guard every time we counterattack."
"The prerequisite for being fast is that we have to be well prepared, so everyone has to start running and run in neutral."
When a player runs into the neutral position, the player holding the ball will have enough contact points. With more contact points, the pass will naturally be fast and stable.
"Second question, I found during the game that Gago and Diarra basically didn't put much pressure on Biglia and Rakitic, so we need to increase the midfielder's ability to get and control the ball and get the ball behind them.
, you can pour them down appropriately, control the rhythm, and walk them. I believe that in this aspect, we have an advantage."
In Real Madrid's lineup today, the midfielders are Van der Vaart, Gago, Diarra and Robben.
It can be seen from this point that this is not a lineup configuration that can control the ball at all.
When it comes to possession, Napoli definitely has the advantage.
Now, neither Gago nor Diarra is willing to step forward to put pressure, so get more balls.
Naples has the ability to pass and control the ball, as well as the ability to pass long balls, so what are they afraid of?
With Real Madrid's defense, problems may be exposed behind them at any time. Are Napoli afraid that they won't have a chance?
Gao Shen praised Cavani by name because he basically retreats when his own side does not have the ball. Once he grabs the ball and counterattacks, he is able to provide support and then suddenly jump in to counterattack.
At this point, Cavani has done a good job.
The last thing is defense.
Gao Shen believed that the team's overall defense in the first half was good, but it still needs to be improved.
"Real Madrid's players must be cut apart so that they form individuals one by one and cannot be connected together to form a joint force. We then use the numerical advantage in local areas to suppress the opponent."
Real Madrid's player with really strong personal ability is actually Robben, but Robben quickly became incompetent after his stunning opening.
As for other players, their personal abilities are not strong enough.
If the individual ability is not strong, then they can only play as a team. The most important thing for Naples is to cut the opponent's space so that Real Madrid's players cannot form effective cooperation.
To put it bluntly, Real Madrid only has Robben as a breaking point, but Robben is a bit of a bad player. As long as they can guard against him, Real Madrid's entire offense will not pose much of a threat.
Of course, carelessness will definitely not work.
"After the start of the second half, we still have to continue to seek stability, continue the rhythm and momentum of the first half, and control the initiative and rhythm of the game in our hands. We are leading 3-0 and have a lot of time to go.
Spend it with Real Madrid.”
"If I guess correctly, Schuster is likely to launch a counterattack at the beginning of the second half, and may even make substitutions. You must be mentally prepared. If you dare to take the lead, I will hit you back hard!"
As long as the ball is in hand and the rhythm of the game is controlled, Naples can slowly consume Real Madrid's physical energy and energy, and in this regard, Naples has a huge advantage.
Before the game, Gao Shen didn't dare to think too much, but after the first half, he found that Schuster was too stretched and Real Madrid had too many problems.
