"The key goal from Di Maria opened the scoring for Naples!"
"One to zero!"
"Naples' sudden fast-paced attack, especially in the frontcourt, almost put a strong pressure on Barcelona. Faced with this sudden pressure, Barcelona's already weak defense quickly collapsed."
"The current situation is very unfavorable for Barcelona. On the one hand, there is no progress in the organization and offense of the midfield and the front. On the other hand, there are flaws in the defense. After Naples counterattacked, this wave of attacks broke the goal."
"Now, Guardiola faces a serious and difficult situation."
…
When Gao Shen scored with Di Maria's push shot, he jumped with excitement.
One to zero!
What a huge advantage it is to be the first to score in a key game like the Champions League final!
"Wow!"
Gao Shen screamed in excitement and couldn't stop laughing.
Zidane, Carlo and others also celebrated the goal around him.
This wave of attacks just now actually lasted less than three minutes, but Naples' fast pace made Barcelona unable to resist.
This is actually no wonder, because from the beginning to now, Naples has maintained a relatively stable rhythm, and Barcelona has always adapted to Naples's rhythm.
But now, the sudden acceleration makes it difficult for everyone in Barcelona to adapt.
More importantly, Yaya Toure failed to position in time, and Busquets had to retreat to the central defender to block. But the problem is that Yaya Toure failed to protect the defense in time in the fourth position.
Mistake after mistake.
After the players finished celebrating and returned to the court, Gao Shen walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly at the players.
"Keep playing slow, don't rush, stay patient."
Gao Shen still needs to continue to seek stability and continue to adopt the same tactical play after the opening.
But he also made targeted adjustments to the positions of several players, all of which were made to address the problems exposed in the game just now.
When walking back, he found that the expressions on the faces of Zidane, Carlo and others were obviously much more relaxed.
"Don't be nervous, I've told you before, I'm a professional when it comes to playing Barcelona!" Gao Shen chuckled.
Zidane, Carlo and others all smiled, this is so awesome!
But he deserves to be beaten by Gao Shen.
As early as before the game, Gao Shen repeatedly emphasized that playing against Barcelona must not allow this team to play smoothly.
What's the meaning?
Weber comes from the Premier League and has a greater grasp of physical confrontation. Naples should take advantage of this aspect.
Seriously, look at Barcelona's current lineup. Is there any physical confrontation?
Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets are indeed superior in technique, passing and ball control, and are the best in the world in midfield technique and control. There is no debate about this, but no matter how good their technique is, if they are close, their bodies will not have an advantage.
Under such circumstances, how much more can technology be used to achieve?
Henry is no longer at his peak, Eto'o is good at scoring, not to mention Messi's body...
Now Guardiola puts Messi in the middle. Sure, when Gao Shen is defending, he tries his best to push Henry and Eto'o to the wings. He just barely hangs a flag on his head with four gilded characters on it:
Welcome to the cross!
In fact, Barcelona will not cross the ball either.
Once Messi retreats, Henry and Eto'o move closer to the center, and Naples' defense also shrinks.
Barcelona also has a special skill, which is for the full-backs to push forward.
But tonight Puyol played on the left, and Sylvinho was put on the bench. This resulted in little forward penetration on the left, while Alves on the right frequently stepped in, but Naples' attack just now
, the first hit was on Barcelona’s right wing.
All of these are tactical details.
Gao Shen has another trick, he wants to disrupt Barcelona's game rhythm.
Barcelona's original characteristic is a slow pace, pouring and pouring. After finding a loophole, they suddenly speed up.
But what I encountered tonight was that I was pouring and pouring. When I saw an opportunity, I wanted to speed up, but found that I couldn't.
Either they were interrupted by a foul by a Naples player, or the ball was intercepted. At the very least, there would be some interference. When they were about to pick up the speed, they found that Naples was already in position, and it became a positional battle again.
Gao Shen's style of play really pinched Barcelona's weakness and made Barcelona play extremely awkwardly.
Ball control, passing and the rhythm of the game are all their favorites, but they were choked to death at key points!
What's even more disgusting is that the Naples players' sense of foul standards is really from Serie A.
The scale of fouls is always controlled within Weber's scale, but the referee from the Premier League has a relatively loose scale for physical confrontation, which makes Barcelona's football really uncomfortable now.
"What to do next?" Zidane asked excitedly.
Now seeing Gao Shen's expression and hearing his words, Zidane suddenly felt as if he could see a champion waving in front of him.
This is his first Champions League after retiring and transitioning into a coach.
Although he is only an assistant coach, it is also a very glorious addition to his coaching resume.
Gao Shen looked at Zidane with a smile, then turned his head and looked at Guardiola in front of the coaching bench on the other side.
Although Guardiola looks calm and calm on the surface, Gao Shen guessed that at this moment, his heart must be in turmoil.
"Guess, what is Pep thinking about at this moment?" Gao Shen asked without answering.
Zidane glanced at Guardiola, confused, and shook his head.
How could I guess?
Gao Shen suddenly laughed, remembering a joke he had heard in his previous life.
The arrogant Guardiola spent 400 million dollars to make inventions in the Champions League, but ended up giving Tuchel a "1-0" loss in the final.
Tangled Emperor!
"I'm waiting for him to change his formation!" Gao Shen said with a smile.
Zidane was stunned.
Not only him, Carlo, Lucas and others were all dumbfounded.
Waiting for Guardiola to change his team?
How can it be?
Aren’t Barcelona’s four, three and three fixed configurations?
How else can it be changed?
"If you think it's impossible, that's right. If you think that Barcelona's four-three-three is a fixed configuration, that's right. This proves that you have seen through Barcelona. But what Guardiola fears most is that he will be
See through.”
Especially in such a crucial decisive battle!
Gao Shen has always felt that Guardiola is really too entangled.
This is actually a sign of not being confident enough and not strong enough.
He is always worried that he will be guessed by his opponents. The more critical the moment, the more worried he becomes, so he will take the initiative to seek changes.
But everyone knows that changing the situation on the spot is a taboo.
At times like this, the less panic you can do, but Guardiola wants to change his formation so that his opponents can't guess him.
To be honest, Gao Shen was "disappointed" by the opening tactics of this game.
Because he didn't even make a living!
If the Champions League final is not complete, is this still Guardiola?
"Just wait, as long as Guardiola changes his formation, our championship will be secure!" Gao Shen said with confidence.
Zidane, Carlo and others were stunned.
If Gao Shen wasn't Guardiola's confidant, if the relationship between the two wasn't so good, they would all wonder if this guy had his brain damaged?
Even if Guardiola changes the team, how come it remains stable?
But soon, they figured it out again.
Perhaps what Gao Shen means is that Barcelona is already the strongest. The more the formation changes, the more Barcelona will be affected and their strength will become weaker, and the greater the chance of Naples winning.
So...well...that makes sense.
We firmly support and support Guardiola's change of formation!
…
At this moment, standing in front of the coach's bench, Guardiola found painfully that he seemed to have taken off his clothes and stood naked in front of Gao Shen, with no secrets or any covering up.
All I have to do is write four big words on my body: Welcome...
He knew clearly that he was really seen through by Gao Shen.
If Guardiola is left to choose who knows his football best in the world, this person is not his mentor Cruyff, not his Bole Begiristain, and not his right-hand man.
Vilanova.
He can say it almost without thinking, this person is profound!
When he was in Naples, he repeatedly studied and discussed football with Gao Shen almost every day, making them very familiar and understanding each other. He learned a lot from Gao Shen, including some very forward-looking ideas.
It benefited him a lot.
But Gao Shen also knows him very well and understands his football.
Look at tonight's game, from the first minute, Gao Shen didn't leave him many chances, almost all of them restrained him.
Barcelona seems to have all the advantages on the court, with a ball possession rate of over 60%. But in fact, most of them are cross passes and reverse kicks. The real threats are those that enter the penalty area or enter the thirty-meter area.
, very few.
This proves that Naples did a very good job of pressing and pressing near the midline.
Xavi has to retreat, Iniesta has to retreat, Messi also has to retreat, and Busquets often even retreats to the central defender to receive the ball.
This is not the way!
Guardiola clearly knows that he must be beaten to death.
Gao Shen had thought of everything he was thinking of, but he had no idea how many tricks Gao Shen had up his sleeve.
This is actually a very sad thing.
Because he is good at this trick, this set.
Unless, he chooses to subvert himself!
As soon as he thought of this, a magic voice seemed to sound in his mind, constantly telling him: Subversion! Subversion!
How to subvert?
Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, these four are replaced by one, or even two, which is absolutely subversive.
But his reason told him that this was no longer subversion, but suicide!
The game is still going on, but Guardiola's mind is constantly working at high load. He is thinking a lot, including deducing various possibilities, which makes him feel dizzy.
But he has become accustomed to this way of thinking about problems.
"Tito, we have to make substitutions during halftime!" Guardiola said suddenly.
Vilanova, who was sitting in the coaching bench, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the head coach would suddenly say such a sentence.
"Who?" Vilanova asked.
Guardiola didn't know whether he didn't hear it or didn't want to answer.
