Bari is not a particularly well-known team in Serie A in terms of popularity. In terms of strength, it is also a mid-lower team or more accurately called a fringe team. After the team was relegated in 2001, it fell into trouble in the second division.
After seven years, they were finally promoted to Serie A as the Serie B champions in the 0809 season, and finished 10th in the league in the promotion season. This was their second season after promotion.
A year ago, Bari Football Club was acquired by JMJ Holdings in Texas, becoming the first foreign-controlled club in Serie A. It also ended the 32-year control of Bari by the Mattarese family of Italy.
For Genoa, they have not had much interaction with Bari, but the media found the highlight of these two seasons' games, that is, Bari's coach Ventura is the retired coach of Genoa's city rival Sampdoria.
player, and has long served as Sampdoria's youth team coach and first team assistant coach. He also once served as the coach of Sampdoria. In this game, many Sampdoria fans will come to watch the game and act as Barry.
of cheerleaders.
In the match between the two teams last season, Genoa was tied 1:1 at home by Bari and lost 3:0 in Bari away from home. This game was regarded as Gasperini's revenge.
war.

Last season, Bari was the team that conceded the fewest goals in Serie A in the first half of the season. The biggest contributor to their good results was that Bari had two Italian international center backs, namely Ranocchia and Bonucci.
Ranocchia is currently Genoa's main center back Ranocchia. However, in the national team, Ranocchia is a substitute, while Bonucci is the main player. And just over half a month ago, on September 4, 2010, Italy played against Estonia.
In the European Cup qualifiers, Bonucci received a backheel pass from Cassano and pushed in with his right foot to help the Italian team complete the reversal.
This is also the reason why newly promoted club Bari was able to finish 10th in the league last season. However, this season, the new American boss obviously has no determination to invest heavily in building a dynasty. In the summer transfer, Genoa took back the central defender La La, who was loaned out last season.
Nokia, and Juventus offered 15.5 million euros to acquire Bonucci, and the Bari team lost both of its pillars.
Ranocchia was born in 1988, and Bonucci was born in 1987. Now 22 years old, Ranocchia has been half-owned by Inter Milan and has half a foot in the wealthy family.
However, Bonucci is also a player that Inter Milan gave up. This player who has never been favored by Mourinho was loaned to Treviso by Mourinho for two consecutive years. In August 2009, he was sold to Treviso for 00,000 euros.
Bari, as a result, during the Bari team's season, the performances of these two talents, Ranocchia and Bonucci, were astonishing. At the age of 23, Bonucci became the main central defender of the giant Juventus and the Italian national team.
Of course, it is the fate of a small club like Bari to send talented players to a better platform. Otherwise, if they stay in Bari for a long time, the talent will be wasted.

The Belarusian forward Vitaly Kutuzov of the Bari team was once considered a genius. Born in 1980, he was brought to AC Milan by scouts after emerging in the Belarusian league at the age of 19. The transfer fee was 3.5 million euros. Next, Milan
Kutuzov was loaned out to Sporting Lisbon and Avellino for three seasons, but eventually gave up on him and sold him to Sampdoria for 1.5 million euros in 2004.
Having said that, Genoa is Milan's satellite team, and Sampdoria is Juventus's satellite team. Why didn't Milan sell to Genoa, but let Sampdoria take advantage?
After buying him, I found out that was not the case. His skills were indeed good, but his physical fitness was also great. However, Kutuzov had the common "nouveau riche" problems that Eastern European players have when they come to the big leagues, drinking too much and hanging out at nightclubs.
They don’t pay attention to training, and they think that they can sit back and enjoy the success after they have achieved success...
After three more seasons, Sampdoria sold Kutuzov to Parma for 500,000 euros. The Parma they bought was not easy to use, so they loaned him to the second division team Pisa until he was free in 2009.
Transferred to Bari.
Kutuzov was already) years old when he arrived in Bari. At this time, he should no longer be young and frivolous, and he also wanted to catch up on the lost time. But at this time, Kutuzov's body was out of shape and he was heavier than when he first moved to Italy.
Gained about 15kg.
Ventura is a very powerful coach. He not only inspired Ranocchia and Bonucci in the defense, but also awakened the "genius boy" who had been dormant for ten years. Last season, Kutuzov played against Inter Milan and AC Milan.
Both scored goals and contributed 9 goals and 5 assists to the team throughout the season.
If a 20-year-old player produced this data, that would be another matter. But now Kutuzov is just trying to get himself another season's contract and a higher salary.
Another forward, 25-year-old Brazilian player Barreto, was the top scorer in the second division during the promotion season. He scored 14 goals for Bari last season and wore the number 10 of Bari. Such a level has not been recognized by the Brazilian national team.
It's normal to be fancy. Among all Brazilian players, Barreto's statistics are second-rate or even third-rate.
Amirron, the team's midfield playmaker, is also 30 years old. As the core of Empoli in the 2007 season, the Argentine led the team to the UEFA Cup. After the season, Amirron also joined Juventus for 9 million euros.
However, after one season of trying, Juventus found that Amirlon was more suitable to serve as the core of a mid-to-lower team, so they loaned him out to Monaco and Fiorentina. After the satellite team Bari returned to Serie A last season, Juventus even more
I solemnly recommended Amirlon, and the results proved that Amirlon, who serves as the core midfielder of the Bari team, is indeed more comfortable.
This is the overall strength of the Bari team this season. Head coach Ventura has not yet trained any other impressive newcomers.

In the first five rounds of the league, Bari defeated Juventus 1:0 in the first round. I don’t know whether this is because the new American boss does not understand the rules or because Juventus is too careless. Generally speaking, at the beginning of the season, the giants are allowed to accumulate points first.
, in the key relegation battle later, the giants will operate the wins, losses or draws between satellite teams, and give out points themselves at critical moments, but they actually "betrayed" in the first game. Americans are indeed not suitable for football, so they should engage in rugby and football.
Forget it nba!
Next, Bari drew with Naples 2:2 away in the second round, tied with Cagliari 0:0 at home in the third round, and lost to Inter Milan 0:4 in the fourth round... I don’t know if Juventus is at this time
I was very angry. Are you my satellite team or Inter Milan's satellite team?
In the fifth round, Bari defeated second-ranked Brescia 2:1 at home. It had 8 points with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, the same as AC Milan.
In other games of this round, AC Milan faced Parma away from home. If they continue to use running tactics and deal with the aging Parma, there will be no suspense in scoring the three points.
The biggest hot spot in this round is probably the home game between Inter Milan and Juventus. Most of the games between the two giants ended in draws. There is no doubt that the biggest beneficiary of this result is AC Milan.
Lazio, ranked third, and Brescia, ranked fourth, also met. As long as Milan wins this game, whoever loses between these two teams will be squeezed behind by Milan.

In this round of games, Gasperini's initial arrangement is still a two-tower formation, with Chen Zhuo playing as an attacking midfielder. He does not need to think too much about defensive issues. He will direct the team to attack aggressively and use offense as defense.
The reason for this arrangement is that, on the one hand, it is not a problem for the partnership of Veloso and Marco Rossi to guard Amirron. The second reason is that Barreto and Kutuzov, Bari's forward partners, are in Gaspé.
In Rini's opinion, the defense system with the partnership of Ranocchia and Dainelli as the core is completely preventable.
After the game against Milan, Gasperini and the coaching staff also conducted an analysis. Everyone came to the unanimous conclusion that in the game against Milan, Chen Zhuo spent too much energy on Ibrahimovic, which led to his complete failure on the offensive end.
No performance!
If the coaching staff had arranged the second half instead of Chen Zhuo, a more radical tactic might have been adopted, just like what Chen Zhuo arranged in the last ten minutes. Two players flanked Ibrahimovic, freeing up Chen Zhuo to participate in stealing other players.
, and organize Genoa's attack.
The coaching staff believes that Chen Zhuo is indeed good defensively, but in terms of personal ability, he is not necessarily better than Ranocchia. He is even comparable to the old Fiorentina captain Dainelli, but in terms of offense
Especially his long passes and long shots, it would be a waste if he doesn't use them!
Gasperini also agreed. At that time, Chen Zhuo was arranged to keep an eye on Ibrahimovic in the defensive midfielder position. The two people offset each other's power, but Ibrahimovic was originally a tactical support point. Although he was not able to dribble and shoot, he
The function of the midfield hub still exists.
In comparison, Chen Zhuo's technical characteristics were not used at all, and he did not even deter or restrain other Milan players. In comparison, Genoa is indeed not cost-effective!

Not only Gasperini is summing up, but the coaching staff of the Hong Kong team, including Baggio, are also summarizing. Gasperini and the Genoa coaching staff have the idea that Chen Zhuo should be used more on the offensive end, and Baggio is also aware of it.
arrive.
Baggio also analyzed Chen Zhuo's game in Hamburg. Whether it was the traditional 4-4-2 play or the "double hinge double free man" later designed by Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo was the hub of offense and defense in his tactics.
This location!
Baggio thought that this was an obvious "blind spot". When Genoa faced Milan, a strong team, and when the Hong Kong team faced Genoa, which was far superior to itself, Gasperini and himself were designing tactics.
At that time, we ignored the important positioning of "offense and defense conversion hub"!
