The Napoli fans at the Stadio San Paolo were unkind to Hiddink, but the Dutchman did not sit back in the dugout.
The first half ended with 1 to 3.
Naples played a fantastic first half, almost overwhelming Chelsea. Even before the end of the first half, Chelsea had an opportunity. Rakitic's long shot hit the crossbar.
After changing sides in the second half, Naples still didn't leave any chance for Chelsea. They were threatening from the first minute and even almost scored again.
Naples created shooting opportunities one after another, and Hiddink was helpless.
He was a little hesitant now.
According to common sense, Chelsea should make substitutions quickly and stabilize the defense. But the problem is that the score is now 1 to 3 and the total score is 2 to 5. If Chelsea still wants to advance, they have to fight hard.
.
At this time, the attack should be strengthened.
Malouda, Kalou, etc., all of them can be improved.
But Hiddink is very worried. If he really goes like this, he is very likely to lose another goal. If he really loses a disastrous defeat, how can he still play? Not to mention losing the Champions League, even the league and cup competitions will be affected.
But he was a little unwilling to endure it like this.
He never thought that one day he would be forced into such a situation by a twenty-eight-year-old boy. The key is that this boy is still Chinese.
You know, when he led the Korean team to face the Chinese team, it was a psychological advantage...
But I didn't expect that I would be forced into such a dilemma and bewildered by a Chinese.
Even though Hiddink was past the age of shame, he still felt ashamed.
"Which rock did this guy come from?" Hiddink walked to the coach's bench and muttered with a wry smile.
Assistant coach Wilkins shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Who knew? He suddenly appeared in Real Madrid. He was originally playing defensive counterattack. Once he arrived in Naples, he suddenly promoted offensive football, leading the tactical changes and trends in European football.
.”
Hiddink let out a long breath, "From a tactical perspective, his concepts and trends are really advanced. For a while, I really didn't know how to deal with him. I felt like this wouldn't work, and that wouldn't work either."
…”
Wilkins nodded. Not only Hiddink, but also many European football coaches are in trouble.
Those with better skills than him can't run like them; those who can run with the same skills as them don't have such strict tactics; teams with strict tactics don't have the same skills as them...
Anyway, I feel like this team is really in trouble.
"This guy has a really keen sense of tactics!" Hiddink said in amusement.
After the new offside rule comes out, there will be more space on the court, and it will be more convenient for technical players like Biglia and Rakitic to invest in defense, because the players' physical contact will be reduced.
Before the new offside rule, the popular midfielders were midfielders like Essien, Lampard and Ballack. They were physical, impactful and strong. This is why Chelsea was able to create a high-pressure midfielder.
But these players all have a natural weakness, which is their poor skills.
In other words, it's not detailed enough.
Every change in football rules will lead to a new trend.
And this is reflected in this game.
Chelsea is like a team before the rules, Napoli is like a team after the rules.
But Hiddink is very suspicious that even many old coaches who have been immersed in football for many years may not be able to quickly grasp the trend after the rule changes. So how did Gao Shen grasp it all at once?
Could it be said that he is really a genius?
"Just now, the third goal was a big blow to us." Wilkins said with sadness as he looked at the Chelsea players on the court who were somewhat demoralized.
Hiddink also noticed it and sighed lightly, there was nothing he could do.
For the third goal just now, Chelsea didn't touch the ball even once for two minutes after losing possession of the ball.
What is this concept?
There were only eleven players on the team, and all the players from Naples were sneaked away for two minutes, and the ball was scored by them. This is huge for any team or anyone.
blow.
Hiddink was in trouble.
As a head coach, he can always make bold and decisive decisions because he determines whether the team can win.
But now, he has a hunch that he can only decide how the team loses and how much it loses.
This made him very uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and he was reluctant to make a decision.
…
When the game reached the 57th minute, Chelsea once scored in the frontcourt.
Ashley Cole moved forward on the left to participate in the attack. When he tried to go to the baseline, Lichtsteiner directly tackled him and knocked him to the ground with the ball. The Swiss full-back quickly got up and the ball went out of bounds.
In front of him, he kicked the ball to Cavani who was chasing him all the way in front, and he fell out completely.
After Cavani stopped the ball, he turned around and started dribbling the ball, crossing the center line as quickly as possible and moving forward.
Di Maria moved to the right side very tacitly, pulling out defensive players for Cavani.
As soon as he dribbled the ball into the outside of Chelsea's penalty area, Cavani quickly distributed the ball to the right wing and handed it to Di Maria.
At this time, before Ashley Cole had time to return to defense, Di Maria faced Alex and made a direct pass. The low ball was passed to the front of the small penalty area. Sanchez directly tackled and shot in the middle of the penalty area.
Mikel fell into a ball, but neither of them could grab the ball, so they watched the ball slide past the goal.
Biglia quickly caught up and rushed to the left side of the penalty area. After catching up with the football, he stopped and saw Vargas chasing him from behind. He quickly passed the ball to the left side of the outside of the penalty area to guide Vargas.
Go to that location.
The Peruvian left back caught up, stopped the ball, and made a slight adjustment. Before Lampard could rush forward, he curled the ball with his left foot and hit it to the back point.
I saw Cavani and Terry taking off at the same time, but they failed to get past Terry and were pushed out with a header.
However, due to Cavani's interference, Terry's header failed to go far and landed near the top of the arc.
Just when everyone in Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was safe, a sky-blue figure quickly rushed forward and fired a furious shot at the football that bounced off the ground.
The ball hit the left side of the goal with lightning speed.
When goalkeeper Cech reacted, it was too late to save and could only watch the ball go into the net.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Rakitic!"
"Ivan Rakitic wins again!"
"This is his second consecutive goal!"
"Naples took the lead 4-1, and the total score is 6-2!"
"Chelsea got off to a really good start tonight, but then the situation suddenly took a huge turn."
"Naples showed a very good technical and tactical level at home."
"It can be said that Rakitic's goal completely shattered Chelsea's confidence."
"They now have to score four more goals to turn the situation around, but how is that possible?"
When Rakitic scored, Gao Shen jumped up with excitement.
After the Croatian midfielder scored, he rushed out excitedly, ran all the way to the home team's coaching bench, and hugged coach Gao Shen with all his strength. Naples players all around also gathered around him, including the bench on the sidelines.
All the players rushed over to celebrate the goal together.
Everyone knows that this goal means that Naples will win this game early.
Although there is still more than half an hour, it is meaningless.
Look at the lackluster expressions of Chelsea players on the court, look at their weak and tired looks, does this look like a team that can still reverse the situation?
Hiddink's big gamble in the first round allowed him to win, but tonight, Essien, whose big gamble he made, can only be regarded as mediocre or even mediocre, not at all as active as the Ghanaian Buffaloes before.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. Essien has been out for so long, and it would be strange for him to be at his peak as soon as he comes back.
This can also reflect Hiddink's current dilemma from the side.
It's hard for him to field a better lineup than this.
…
After Chelsea scored the fourth goal, the suspense of the game had been completely killed.
In the last half hour, neither side performed very well.
Naples gave up on the good news, contented themselves with a score of four to one, and advanced with a total score of six to two. This was already a very good result for Naples.
If we continue to chase and fight fiercely, we may be able to score more goals, but what's the point?
It really made Chelsea anxious, and they just played wild tricks with you. Anyway, they were eliminated, but Naples will continue, right?
Therefore, this kind of thing should be stopped in moderation.
Gao Shen also continues to make substitution adjustments to allow the main players to get more rest time.
Hiddink also made substitutions, and Drogba also had a good header opportunity, but failed to score and was saved by Handanovic.
After that, neither side could score again.
If the first hour was exciting, the last half hour seemed a bit boring.
In the end, Naples once again completed a reversal 4-1 at home.
What's interesting is that in both rounds, the ball was lost first and then reversed.
…
"Let us congratulate Naples! Congratulations to Gao Shen!"
"This is the first time this team has participated in the Champions League since the restructuring. Unexpectedly, they came directly from the group of death and defeated Real Madrid, Bayern and Zenit. After advancing, they eliminated Chelsea in the round of 16 with a total score of 6 to 2.
.”
"Both games were exciting and we saw a very competitive team."
"This season, Naples' performance can be called a dark horse. We are also very much looking forward to whether Gao Shen and his Naples can continue to move forward."
"Entering the quarterfinals, Naples will definitely encounter a stronger team than Chelsea. We wish Gao Shen and his Naples good luck!"
The live broadcast of the game was finally fixed on the scene after the game when Gao Shen came to the visiting team's coaching bench, shook hands with Hiddink, and after the two hugged, they talked face to face.
