There are only five minutes, which requires Chen Zhuo to make a complete "switch" in his entire tactical thinking mode. All the efforts Chen Zhuo made in the previous 85 minutes are now equivalent to "shooting himself in the foot"!
"I'll give you some tips! Patton, I won't change your three-back two-layer defense system. I just need to defend the last 5 minutes and it will be ok!" Gasperini shouted at Chen Zhuo.
"I don't know if what you said is true or not!" Chen Zhuo muttered in a low voice, clapped his hands, gathered the players together, and said: "Okay, he is the boss, follow what he said, guys, over there,
Milanetto has no energy left. If he is not given time to breathe, he will get cramps if he rushes twice in a row..."
If it were a movie at this time, the camera could be switched directly to the other side. Gasperini was also talking about Milanetto. His plan was for Dainelli to move into the midfielder position and interact with Milanetto.
Forming a double midfielder, if someone breaks Milanetto, the two of them will execute the closing tactic and let the ball pass without letting anyone pass, leaving Ranocchia and Harja to deal with it...
"Gason, in the last five minutes, you come to mark the central defender! Just focus on this point. If Milanetto and Dainelli close the door, you will be responsible for kicking out the ball! Harja is parallel to you.
, Ranocchia is behind you, be careful to keep the distance between you and them." Gasperini came at his fingertips and moved Garson, who had not shown fatigue after playing for 85 minutes, to this position.
The camera pulled back again and saw Chen Zhuo's plan. The old captain Marco Rossi withdrew and played double central defender with Kaladze.
Van Nistelrooy has basically reached his limit and can only count on the two of them to create space for himself to create long-range shooting opportunities.
(two)
No matter what Chen Zhuo planned, no tactics could be implemented when his teammates' physical fitness was close to the limit! On the contrary, Gasperini, with 13 men playing more and less, removed Garson as a destructive type defensively.
After the central defender, there is Boskjankovic on the forward line as the tactical support point, and Scully and Hungarian forward Rudolf as the rib assault.
The current tactics are equivalent to Gasperini putting two more people in the midfield based on the 3-4-3 tactical formation, creating a 3-6-3 situation. While building an iron wall in the midfield,
It also retains the firepower of three offensive players in the frontcourt.
The final result was that Chen Zhuo failed to create a miracle. Instead, Garson's big foot destroyed the ball to the side, which was controlled by Zucculini and then cooperated with Palacio. The latter broke through and passed the ball.
Boskjankovic's header passed to Rudolf. Rudolf's shot was not in the right position under Kaladze's pressure, but it resulted in Scully's classic run and shot, almost at the direction of goalkeeper Eduardo.
The moment Scully touched the ball, he flew and scored.
"Marco, if you were asked to arrange it, how would you arrange it?" Gasperini asked.
Marcorosi looked at Chen Zhuo and said to Gasperini: "I will let Patton defend and make a long pass to the two full-backs on the left and right. They will execute the side breakthrough and the bottom pass..."
"Yes, Patton, I will arrange it this way, but I know you will definitely put yourself in the attacking midfielder position and want to use your long-range shot or break through to cause a free kick, okay?" Gasperini said
.
Chen Zhuo wiped his sweat, nodded slightly, and said: "Boss, captain, I probably understand what you mean. In fact, the captain reminded me to fly with both wings, but in the end I insisted, and the captain had no objection... But
, Coach, I was..."
"You thought at the time that your long shots and free kicks were a shortcut to solving the problem! Right? As a result, I sent Garson to sweep the back line and didn't give you a chance! The most critical problem is that you gave up on the team
You played tactics for 85 minutes, right?" Gasperini gestured and said: "Patton, remember, when you consume your opponent through tactics, the opponent also responds through tactics!"
"If I didn't tell you when I sent you on the field that I was going to change my tactics, you should continue to stick to this tactical routine. If you think about it from another angle, as soon as I came over, I adjusted the defensive system to a defensive system for you.
It is to strengthen the middle. If you continue to use both wings to fly together and let Luca Toni and Ruud van Nistelrooy take turns to attack, my adjustment will lose its focus!"
When listening to Gasperini's speech, Chen Zhuo was also thinking seriously. If he thought more about it after receiving the coach's instructions, he would just use his long-range shooting ability as a tactical containment to induce the opponent to strengthen the confrontation.
With your own defense, you can create better opportunities for your teammates through pulling, and this two-wing style of play can support the power of the twin towers!
(three)
Gasperini patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder and said: "Understand what I mean. The twin towers tactic is not only for dealing with Florence. I also have an idea. I want to use this tactic to compete with Milan. Wait until
In the last ten minutes, you were sent on the field, but instead of using your long-range shots as the core of the offense, you used your long-passing ability, just like... what Garson did in the end!"
Chen Zhuo listened carefully. He understood Gasperini's meaning. When Chen Zhuo's long shots and free kicks become the main content of the Serie A team's defense, then they will inevitably strengthen the defense in the middle and avoid the back.
There is a foul on the field, so Genoa, based on the principle of avoiding the real and attacking the weak, can consider using the wings and ribs to break through to the bottom line as the main attack point!
Therefore, this "twin tower tactic" of two wings flying together in the middle to grab points will force the opponent to make a choice. If it is changed to strengthen the side defense, Chen Zhuo can advance from the back row. If it is not changed, Tony Ruud
The "Twin Towers" will surely explode into great power after a period of running-in!
Whether it is the "driving to the sea tactic" or the "twin tower tactic", they are all tactics that allow Chen Zhuo to take advantage of his precise long passes in the backcourt, and this tactic will also use Chen Zhuo's "shock power" of long-range shots and free kicks to make opponents in the backcourt
He was constrained in his formation! Moreover, when Chen Zhuo needed to take a proper rest in intensive competitions, this constraint would cause his opponent to make mistakes, thereby achieving the goal of "conquering the enemy without fighting."
It seems that "Sun Tzu's Art of War" had a great influence on Gasperini, and it was also very effective. To use a popular saying, it had a very strong "positive energy".

"Gasperini pulled Gasper down to be a sweeping man-marking central defender, and he played well? This is a bit interesting." Hearing Chen Zhuo report on the training in preparation for the past few days, Baggio seemed to be moved.
some thoughts.
In yesterday's game, the Hong Kong team lost 1:3 to the Vicenza U17 youth team. It is obvious that the Hong Kong team still has big problems in defense. They scored two goals against amateur teams.
This time against the third-tier team of Vicenza, another three goals were scored. The gap was not even a small difference. Of course, the Hong Kong team without Chen Zhuo and the Hong Kong team after Chen Zhuo was integrated into the tactical system must be two different teams.
team.
Although they did not participate in the joint training, after arriving in Italy, Baggio and Chen Zhuo had to communicate on the phone every day. On the one hand, Chen Zhuo, as the assistant coach, understood the team's current training progress. On the other hand, Baggio, the
The young coach must fully understand the various dynamics of the Hong Kong team's "Chen Core".
"Yesterday and today, we played three simulated confrontations in two days. Each time, Garson played as a man-marking central defender for a few minutes, and the results were good. The double midfielder closed the door, Garson swept, and another man-marking central defender filled in.
, the scavenger who was behind was taking command..." Chen Zhuo introduced.
Baggio interrupted Chen Zhuo and asked: "You said that in the past two days, your coaching staff has strengthened the systematic practice of Garson's dribbling from the wing. How was the practice?"
Chen Zhuo said: "This won't be that fast, but Garson is now doing additional training every day combined with the ankle training content you assigned, and Rebecca is also using electroacupuncture to help him recover from muscle fatigue every day. There is still progress.
of."
"Not bad, not bad. I'll call him and talk to him later to hear his thoughts." Baggio expressed his satisfaction with the training process of Chen Zhuo and Gasson, and then asked: "Patton, what's your relationship with the Chinese players?"
Is there any progress in contact with you?"
Chen Zhuo said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Gasson. His celebration of showing the Hong Kong bauhinia flag after scoring a goal against Parma had a great response in the Chinese circles in Europe. Many non-sports people in Chinese areas gathered there.
Various newspapers have reported on it. According to Leonie, now
Some Chinese companies in Europe, especially Hong Kong Chinese companies, have made quotations through Leonie and want to hire Gasson as their spokesperson. No, I talked to Yong Aping from the Netherlands, Xie Jiaqiang from the Premier League, Lin Zhijian from Germany, and Bobby
When Wood was on the phone, all he talked about was Garson..."
"Very good, haha, very good, that means the effect is good!" Baggio asked with a smile.
Chen Zhuo said: "Xiao Xiao, oh, it's that Taiwanese girl. She hasn't come back yet. I talked a few words on the phone. Now Xie Jiaqiang has a lot of personal intentions. He will fly over when the team arrives in Italy. Next, Mr. Huo will
Bian can officially ask the Hong Kong Football Association to talk to him. However, Belgium’s Chen Chang
There is no hope for Yuan. He went to Taiwan in June this year. I heard from Xiaoxiao that Chen Changyuan met the public relations and media team leader of the Taiwan Football Association last year when he was playing online football. Since his mother is Taiwanese, Chen Changyuan has accepted the Taiwan Football Association.
Invitation, I wonder if there will be any news soon..."
"Chen Chang Yuan, oh, that handsome guy who looks like a younger version of Chino Reeves, it's a pity when I think about it." Baggio said with some regret.
"Speaking of which, Robert, I have an idea to tell you!" Chen Zhuo said: "Robert, if we combine the current situation of the Hong Kong team and incorporate the two-level three-back play style, we can use this method during the Asian Games.
Do you think it’s worth considering strengthening the Hong Kong team’s defense?”
Baggio pondered for a moment and said while thinking: "If Rong Aping and Xie Jiaqiang can register successfully, one with a left foot and one with a right foot, both have certain regional defense capabilities. If they are adjusted into man-marking central defenders, then they
The two of them are not only capable of mopping up, but the missile defense system is basically achievable...Okay Patton, I will consider your suggestion carefully, and I will discuss it with you again during this European training session."
After defeating the Genoa Estudiantes 4:2 and losing to the Vicenza Youth Team 1:3, Baggio contacted Vicenza on the third day to play as a reserve team in the third division. As a result, the Hong Kong team lost another game 0:2.
, the defense line is useless in front of the Italian third division team.
Regarding Chen Zhuo's suggestion, Baggio thinks it can be considered. The current parallel positioning of two central defenders, the front and rear positioning of two central defenders and the parallel positioning of three defenders have been tried. The "retro 3-5-2" that Chen Zhuo said
”, you might as well give it a try!

After just a few days of training and personnel adjustments for the Twin Towers formation, Gasperini finally assigned Chen Zhuo a new position in this lineup, left midfielder.
Van Nistelrooy was positioned slightly to the left in the starting two towers, and Luca Toni was positioned slightly to the right.
The starting four midfielders, from left to right, are Chen Zhuo, Veloso, Marco Rossi and Rafinha. They adopt parallel positions at the beginning.
The starting four defenders from left to right are Kaladze, Ranocchia, Dainelli and Tomovic. Ranocchia and the old Fiorentina captain also adopt parallel positions.
In terms of "flying on both wings", Gasperini's offensive focus today is obviously on the left wing. It is also possible to say it is the Milan combination of "Kaladze-Chen Zhuo-Fanny", or "Chen Zhuo-Fanny".
"Ni", a pair of Hamburg double stars plus an old Milan gun, is fine. In short, Gasperini's arrangement aroused great interest from fans and the media.
From Hamburg to Genoa, although Chen Zhuo has also played on the wing, relatively speaking, he has performed more brilliantly in the middle, whether as an attacking midfielder, a defensive midfielder, a central defender, or a rib attacker.
It is conducive to exerting his huge power of long-range shots from the back row.
"Don't be fooled by your opponent's actions!" Derio Rossi arranged at the pre-match preparation meeting: "Gasperini is not so stupid as to give up the Chinese's long-range shooting ability, and Genoa does not have that luxury! So,
Patton's inward cutting line is what we need to focus on to prevent him from taking long shots and not giving them a free kick within a distance of 35 meters. This is still the focus of defending Genoa!"
Delio Rossi's arrangement cannot be said to be wrong in theory. After all, in the first three rounds of games, 3 of Genoa's 6 goals came from Chen Zhuo.
