Chapter 100 Fortunately, I don't have this trouble
Ji Ya looked at Naples as a whole and saw it very accurately.
Naples is a team that has only been rebuilt for a few years. They were still in Serie C six or seven seasons ago. Because they have sufficient capital injection, their upward momentum is also quite rapid. However, under such circumstances
, their team is inevitably not strong enough as a whole.
Just like now, their striker is already very strong. Lavezzi is a member of the Argentina national team, Cavani is a rookie who can score goals, and Hamsik is a talented midfielder. This kind of attack line is
European level, and their defense line can only be said to be Serie A level. Cannavaro Jr., Argentinian Campagnaro, and Spanish Ruiz can only be regarded as reliable defenders, plus a reliable defender.
The goalkeeper DeSantis is a top-notch player. This defense is not considered top-notch in Serie A, but it is not considered top-notch in Europe.
And their midfielder is even weaker. Whether it is Garigano or Pazienza in the center, or Dossena and Macho on the wing, they are not particularly outstanding players in Serie A, and can only be regarded as ordinary players.
And there is a real lack of creativity.
After once again getting one win and one draw in the league, Southampton ushered in an away game against Naples. In this game, Noriya sent three running midfielders in the midfield who actively defended and cut off
Naples' midfield and frontcourt, and then through the frontcourt attack, suppressed Naples.
Naples, who played at home in the entire game, did not even have a decent attack, but their defense was still very tenacious. Neither Lambert nor Chamberlain scored. In the end, the game was zero to zero.
Southampton got a draw from the away game.
"Unfortunately, we gained enough tactical advantage but failed to score a goal... The next game will be a bit dangerous, but at our home court, we will work hard to win." Noriya's post-match news
Said regretfully at the press conference.
He was not setting off smoke bombs, he really felt that it was a pity. After all, for Southampton, this game had gone to the extreme tactically, so that Naples' top striker did not score a goal. It is a pity that,
Without the help of the midfielder, the forwards failed to score goals...
In the next game, Naples will never let Southampton get such an opportunity again.
Their head coach, Mazzarri, covered his racing heart. For Mazzarri, this was the first time that he encountered someone completely cutting off the connection between his frontcourt and backcourt. You must know his tactics.
But three-five-two or three-four-three, the midfield was his most important place, but it was completely blown away...
Fortunately, I was lucky and didn't lose at home, so the next game won't be like this.
Mazari thought to himself.
Southampton, who returned home, received a huge welcome. It would always be a good thing to draw their opponents away from home. Naples is a new team, and their away form may not be good, and it is also difficult for them to adapt to playing abroad.
This kind of thing - this is also the first time for this Naples team.
"Southampton's luck is not very good. If they can score a goal in the away game, it won't be a big problem." More professional football critics all said this.
Ji Ya also knows this. He didn't win the last game even though he had the advantage of a tactical surprise attack. This time, the difficulties will indeed be huge.
However, he will not give up the game because of this and beat Naples at home... This may not be a difficult thing.
Cavani is indeed a top shooter, but he is also very good at wasting opportunities. What he is good at is running out of opportunities. As long as the opponent does not create many opportunities, it will not be a big problem.
Lavezzi is more of a threat from the wing.
Hamsik is still young and does not have much explosive power.
The main thing is not to have any problems with your own offense.
Noriya reviewed his tactics in the last game and found that they indeed played a very good role in cutting off the opponent's front and backcourt, but he also sacrificed his own midfielder's support for the forwards, and it happened that his own forward line supported the midfielder.
The demand is quite large.
"You cannot compromise your own needs in order to deal with your opponents. Otherwise, we should be able to win this away game."
Ji Ya thought silently in his heart, but just thinking about it, the game has passed, and the most important thing is the next game.
Before the start of the second round, Noriya sent out most of the substitutes, which caused Southampton to lose one game in the league. They lost to Middlesbrough 2-3 at home, but this is not a big problem.
, Middlesbrough also performed very poorly this year. They are fighting to avoid relegation and are not a competitor to Southampton.
Southampton's entire focus is on the Europa League.
They are still 20 points ahead of Queens Park Rangers. Southampton has only scored four points in the last three rounds, but their biggest opponent has only scored five points.
The stage of the British Championship...that's it.
The entire Naples team arrived in Southampton the day before the start of the game. The entire Naples team was very interested in this city, just like the entire Southampton team arrived in Naples and traveled for half a day before the start of the game.
Of course, Southampton is much smaller than Naples...
Southampton fans greeted Naples with the greatest enthusiasm - they did not boo, but they made the St. Mary's Stadium, with a capacity of only more than 30,000, more noisy than the St. Paul's Stadium with a capacity of 80,000.
"British fans can really make a scene."
Naples players sighed.
Naples still attaches great importance to this game. Although their league performance this season is very good and they have a good chance to win the championship. The next round will be against AC Milan, which is currently ranked first, but Mazzarri is still in this game.
Sent all the main players - Naples is very thirsty for honor and status. After all, their boss De Lao has always aimed to build Naples into a world-class club.
At least that's what he promised the fans.
Therefore, they will not do such a thing as giving up the Europa League and focusing on playing in the league.
Cavani, Hamsik, Lavezzi...all the main players of Naples played.
Ji Ya also sent out all his main players, hiding Mkhitaryan and Schneiderlin. Mainly Naples' midfielder, whose running ability is still very strong, Lallana can better support on the field.
field.
When shaking hands with Mazzarri, Ji Ya noticed that the other party's brows were furrowed. Some media had said before that Mazzarri wanted to protect the league, but their boss German couldn't give up even if he won the cup, so Mazzarri had no choice but to obey.
