In August in Beijing, the sky was bright and sunny, cloudless, and the sky was as quiet as a picture, but the sky seemed extremely dry and the heat was unstoppable.
Juventus head coach Conte is arranging tonight's game tactics on the training ground, aiming to win Naples.
In this year's Coppa Italia final, Juventus lost to Naples 0-2, and Conte did not want the team to lose the Italian Super Cup again.
Naples is very strong now. At the beginning of the year, they almost dethroned the new European champion Chelsea. The team has two very strong players, Cavani, who has become the number one center in Serie A, and Argentine winger Lavezzi. The last final was
The excellent performance of these two people defeated Juventus. Of course, Pandev, Hamsik and others cannot be ignored.
Juventus must not repeat the same mistakes this time. Even if Juventus agrees, the fans will not agree. Conte's tactics are still based on possession of the ball. Juventus has almost the entire Italian team's defense, Chiellini, Bale.
Zali, Bonucci and Buffon, Italy's midfield engine Pirlo, flexible midfielder Marchisio and deep-lying forward Giovinco. Marginal international Matri, as well as many other international players, are extremely strong.
In addition, the newly transferred killer Higuain is their biggest trump card!
Chen Long entered the substitute lineup and played with the team as he wished. There is no doubt that Conte will never waste the card in his hand. His abnormal free kick may make the outcome of the game different.
In Conte's tactics, the tactics of the last five minutes are particularly important. This can be seen from the fact that in order to maximize the advantage of Chen Long's five minutes, he actually held a diving training class.
At 7:30 in the evening, the Bird's Nest Stadium was brightly lit and crowded with people. The stadium, which can accommodate 91,000 people, actually had 10,000 extra temporary seats, which meant that 100,000 people gathered here to watch this event.
The field was almost filled with the black and white Juventus team colors. You can imagine how many Juventus fans in China. Of course, there are also many Naples fans, all thanks to the Naples team led by Maradona in the 1980s.
As a result, many old fans born in the 1960s and 1970s are Naples fans.
The game officially started at eight o'clock, with Juventus taking the lead.
Juventus pays attention to stable ball control, while Naples is more aggressive. Relatively speaking, Juventus should have the upper hand, because the solid midfield and backfield ensure the ball possession rate, even if the ball reaches the feet of the forward and cannot be shot,
But it will not pose a threat to the defense, but Naples' playing style is very simple and effective. The ball can always be passed to the feet of Lavezzi or Pandev. The two extremely fast people either quickly dribble the ball inside or immediately cross it.
Look for Cavani. Always put pressure on Juventus in the midfield and backcourt. If it weren't for Juventus' top backcourt defense, Juventus would probably have conceded the goal first.
To make matters worse, Juventus's forwards continued their poor performance from last season. Matri, who started the game, hit four goals in the first half and none of them hit the main goal frame. The hard-working and creative midfielder
All the passes were wasted at his feet. Fortunately, Juventus now has Higuain, and it was with his flash of inspiration at the end of the first half that he scored an unexpected goal
shoot.
In the end, the first half of the game ended with 1-0. At the beginning of the second half, Conte immediately replaced Matri and replaced him with the agile Vucinic, trying to use a flexible striker to disrupt Naples' defense. The opponent Naples did not have any for the time being.
Action, but it is more obvious in tactics, which is to try to prevent the ball from passing through the midfield, but to directly hit the opponent behind to create a threat.
Juventus played steadily and still controlled the ball in the midfield. Pirlo took care of the midfield and backcourt calmly and carefully, organizing the offense. Marchisio in the center diligently ran back and forth in the front and backcourt, and Atomic Ant and Clara on the wing.
Sic often retreated to get the ball, trying to tear apart the opponent's defense through effective cooperation. But Napoli also ran diligently, making up for the lack of ball control, and the defense was flawless.
A dull game, this was the thought of all the spectators present. Are Old Lady games generally like this? But Juventus played not conservatively at all last season. The reason why they are like this today may be because they are too afraid of losing the championship.
Bar.
In the 70th minute, Conte replaced Higuain with Elia to strengthen control and defense.
Higuain has done well enough, but when he first joined the team, he still lacked coordination. After all, Serie A is not La Liga, and there is very little space left for him. Moreover, as a famous star, Naples players are not interested in him.
No less care. Being able to score a goal was considered a great debut, so when he came off the field, the audience stood up and applauded him.
If the score of 1-0 continues like this, Juventus will win the championship, but God's will is often not what people want, and Juventus has started the problem of last season again, taking the lead and allowing the opponent to score. Higuain
Shortly after the end of the game, Lavezzi broke through and then made a cross that accurately found Cavani. Cavani headed the ball over the top and equalized the score.
Buffon had a dark face and helplessly picked the ball out of the goal, looking extremely annoyed.
Barzagli and Chiellini did not dare to look at Buffon, shaking their heads in frustration and annoyance, which was obviously the result of their lax marking.
Naples, who had equalized the score, were no longer eager to attack and put defense first.
Conte was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot off the court. He yelled at the players on the court many times, but to no avail. Time was passing by. In the blink of an eye, it was already eighty minutes into the second half, and the score on the court was
Still one to one.
At this time, Conte turned his head and looked at the bench. He did not immediately call out the names of the players on the field. He did hesitate.
Should the tie be dragged into overtime? Or should the battle be resolved within ninety minutes? Conte had some ups and downs in his heart.
His eyes scanned the bench again and again, still not making up his mind on who to play.
Change me? Change me! Why are you hesitating at this time? Only my five minutes are the best! Change me! Chenlong has been looking forward to it, calling his name hungrily in his heart.
It popped out of Di's mouth!
Conte struggled for half a minute and finally made a decision.
Attack! Attack! Attack! The battle will be resolved within ninety minutes, mlgbd, you have been preparing for this kid for so long, is it just for today?!
"Chen Long, come on! Immediately!" He waved his hand at Chen Long, signaling him to come on.
Chenlong's heart beat violently, "Well, you really called me?!" Although he was full of expectations, he still pointed at himself in disbelief and confirmed again.
Are you about to go on stage? Chenlong asked himself excitedly. He was so surprised that he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment!
Vidal gave him a gentle push on the back, causing Chenlong to subconsciously stand forward!
"Well! It's time to play!" Chen Long took off his jacket neatly, revealing his Juventus uniform, and quickly walked to the substitution area like a hungry wolf rushing for food.
"Quick!" Conte shouted at him.
Chenlong doesn't need to warm up, warming up is a waste of his energy.
So when the display card showed No. 16 Giovinco off and No. 10 Chen Long on, Chen Long was already standing in the substitution area wearing No. 10 jersey! At this time, the playing time was 85 minutes.
The whole audience burst into cheers! No reason, just because this new No. 10 of Juventus is half Chinese!
"Coming to Italy...No. 10...Chinese Dragon..." the voice in the live broadcast room sounded loud and clear.
