Seeing that he was one goal behind, he waved his hand and asked the players to attack.
He is an offensive maniac.
In his mind, football should be about attacking, attacking, and attacking again.
Therefore, the team he coaches is unique.
Attack from forward to defender.
It's somewhat similar to the Netherlands' total offense. But compared to the Netherlands' total offense, his team is top-heavy. It has offense but average defense.
He will never be conservative no matter what the game is. He was like this when he was in Milan. Indeed, his madman-like offense is very popular with fans. In other words, he can often play classic games.
Unfortunately, the team he coached also had too many ups and downs.
If you play like crazy, you can beat anyone. Even against some strong teams, you can have a three-goal, four-goal, or five-goal advantage.
But it focuses too much on offense.
You can lose against any team.
This is Zaccheroni.
Therefore, a wealthy club like Milan will not use a coach like Zaccheroni. If you want to win the league, you need not a passionate coach, but a stable coach.
Those coaches with beautiful playing styles and full of passion may surprise people in a certain season, but they cannot guarantee long-term stable results.
His idea for Lazio is very simple. He requires Lazio players to press up and grab the ball from the frontcourt.
No one here is privileged.
Including Mendieta.
Mendieta is not a person with a rigid personality. Many talented players have very weird personalities, and they are not good students. Just like Gascoigne, the most talented player in England in recent decades.
This guy is a talented player who has finally emerged in English football.
It's a pity that he has a bad temper.
He also ruined his career.
There are also those geniuses in German football, such as Effenberg, Schuster and others. They are all geniuses with weird personalities.
Of course there are also geniuses with good personalities.
Just like a player like Baggio.
That's what happened to Mendieta.
He has a soft personality and is a player who rarely resists his coach. He needs a coach who fully supports him so that he can unleash his genius without restraint.
It's a pity that there is no such treatment at Lazio.
He himself also needs to participate in defense. And he needs to keep running in the frontcourt to interfere with the opponent.
He doesn't like this way of playing football.
He prefers to be a free man in the frontcourt and choose his own attack method.
But he still obeyed Zaccheroni's arrangements.
Unfortunately for him, for a talented player like Mendieta, running and counterattacking in the frontcourt will only waste his talent and physical strength. His running should be used in more important places.
"Although Zaccheroni has just become Lazio's head coach, it seems that Lazio has been deeply influenced by Zaccheroni."
Looking at Lazio's playing style, Mortensen explained with a smile.
Very easy.
In Mortensen's opinion, Lazio's current style of play is very blind. Although the Serie A teams are somewhat deficient in terms of play style, the technical and tactical content of those teams is still quite sufficient.
But now Lazio is blind.
Mortensen saw no threat at all.
Mortensen could see it, so Su Yun didn't need to say anything.
Su Yun shook his head. Mendieta, Lopez, Crespo, and Fiore were not the kind of defensive madmen. They were forced to counterattack in the frontcourt by Zaccheroni, and the effect could be imagined.
"It looks like Steve Mendieta is going to die."
Su Yun chatted with Clark very calmly.
"Well, Italy shouldn't be where he came from." Clark nodded.
Su Yun was a little disappointed.
Mendieta.
Last season, he was the most highly regarded talented midfielder in Europe.
"What a pity."
What a pity.
Mendieta has no role in the frontcourt.
In the end, none of the Lazio players trusted Mendieta, and they no longer passed the ball to Mendieta. Instead, they passed the ball directly to Fiore on the right. They believed in Fiore more.
Mendieta has completely become a dispensable character.
Mendieta, who was in the frontcourt, could not get the ball and still occupied a position. He blocked Stankovic's attack from behind and also blocked Fiore's approach to the center.
It can be said that Mendieta not only failed to use his strength, but even hindered Lazio's offense.
"Lazio's offense is very chaotic. Mendieta failed to use his 48 million euros of strength. Instead, he simply couldn't find his place in Lazio's offense."
Mortensen shook his head.
I was surprised by Mendieta's performance.
But the Italian commentator is different.
"Mendieta, his performance is complete shit. I don't understand how a player like Mendieta can be worth 48 million euros. Lazio thought they bought a rare treasure with 48 million euros.
I didn’t expect that when I opened it, it turned out to be a piece of shit.”
Totally vicious sarcasm.
When La Liga begins to rise strongly and the Premier League begins to recover, Italian football also wants to maintain its dominance.
This season Zidane, the superstar, left Serie A and went to La Liga. Veron also left Lazio and went to the Premier League.
Therefore, Lazio has high hopes for Mendieta, who was imported from La Liga at a high price.
It's a pity that the performance is so unreliable.
Completely rubbish performance.
Spending millions of euros on a young player in Serie A will probably perform better than Mendieta's.
"Simone, give the ball to Stankovic... Stankovic passes it to Mendieta!"
Williams sits deep and is responsible for the entire Chelsea defensive line.
And it was Lampard who helped Williams sweep in the midfield.
When Stankovic got the ball, Lampard pressed in the midfield. Stankovic wanted to give it to Fiore or Cesar, but saw that there were people defending next to them, so he gave the ball to Mendie.
tower.
Mendieta's location stands out.
But no one defended him.
That's why it was given to Mendieta.
"Mendieta has the ball and there's no one next to him... oh, what the hell is Mendieta doing? Williams, he grabs the ball!"
Mendieta has serious psychological problems.
After the poor performance in this game, this psychological problem became more serious. After receiving the pass from Stankovic, I didn't know what to do.
If it was at that time in Valencia and no one was guarding Mendieta, it would be fatal.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what happened.
Mendieta is very hesitant now. After getting the ball, he didn't push forward or pass the ball comfortably to his teammates. But he didn't know what to do after taking possession of the ball?
Nothing like Mendieta's style back then.
Hesitating in front of Williams is such a fatal thing.
Williams stepped forward and intercepted the ball easily.
"Williams. He handed the ball to Lampard...Lampard passed the ball forward."
soon.
It's just a matter of passing the ball.
Between two and three kicks, the ball had already reached Lazio's penalty area line.
"Zola, this is the heel!"
"Kewell got the ball...crossed!"
Under Simeone's defense, Zola passed the ball to the right very cleverly. Stam is one of the best center backs in the world. But he is really not used to the three-back system, nor is he used to playing
Put yourself on the right wing in a three-back system.
Couldn't guard Kewell.
The judgment on Kewell's running route was also inaccurate. Kewell was missed immediately.
After Kewell got the ball, he passed the ball without hesitation.
"Nesta, he pushed the ball away."
Nesta's position is very stable.
Nesta's clearances were always just right. The ball was handed to Simeone. Simeone easily stopped the ball pushed by Nesta, and then prepared to pass the ball out.
"Simone...Williams. Simeone was caught off guard!"
Simeone is old.
Simeone is very famous in England. Unfortunately, he is not famous because of his strength, but because of the conflict between Simeone and Beckham in the 1998 World Cup. Simeone became the public enemy of all England.
But Simeone is a really outstanding player.
In terms of the defensive midfielder position, there are really not many players who are better than Simeone.
Simeone is tough, has excellent technique and excellent passing ability. He can be said to be a very rare good player in football.
It's a pity that that was when Simeone was young.
Simeone is already thirty-one years old and his physical functions have declined a lot.
The movements are also slower.
Williams, who had just snatched the ball from Mendieta and then handed it to Lampard, never stopped and kept running. But he was not very fast, so he waited until he was very close to the penalty area.
Recently, one of Chelsea's attacks was over.
But he didn't stop and continued running forward. So when Simeone got the ball, Williams was running at a constant speed behind him.
Seeing Simeone, Williams suddenly sped up.
Then Simeone stole the ball before he could react.
Simeone was really caught off guard.
Before he could control the ball, the ball was intercepted. In desperation, he pulled Williams.
But Williams, who had already stolen the ball, could not stop. Although he was pulled by Simeone, no one could stop Williams.
"Williams, she!"
"goooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!"
"Williams! Williams! Williams!"
"Two to zero, two to zero. The first half is coming to an end soon. Chelsea leads Lazio two to zero in the away game."
Williams' shot this time was close to the ground and flew in.
Nesta saw Williams shooting and immediately fell to the ground to defend. Unfortunately, Williams was too fast. Nesta was slower, and so was Petrucci.
"Williams' performance was really outstanding. It should be said that Mendieta's performance was too poor. I don't understand. Is this Mendieta? Is this the Mendieta we know?"
Mortensen asked several questions in a row.
As recently as May and June, Mendieta was one of the best midfielders in the world.
I didn’t expect it now….
Su Yun saw the change in Mendieta. When the game started, Mendieta's status bar was light red, although it was not very red. It showed that morale was good. But when the first half was about to end, the status bar had changed.
It turned dark yellow.
It seems that Mendieta's mental endurance is really limited.
When we arrived in Italy, Mendieta was really dead.
