In this game, Gasperini needs Chen Zhuo to lead the adjustment of Genoa's entire tactical plan according to his instructions by changing between the three positions.
The first is the parallel positioning of the defensive midfielder. When Chen Zhuo appears in this position, he is confronting and restricting the organizer Sneijder in the opponent's "three attacking midfielders", disrupting the opponent's offensive and defensive rhythm. At this time, Genoa is also doing its best.
During the defensive phase, Chen Zhuo took the ball and played a long pass over the top for Scully to race with the opponent's back line. Anyway, Inter Milan had to press 5 to 10 meters up, and there was a running distance behind for Scully to rush up.
.
The second position is the midfielder position, which is the same as the midfield position in the Twin Towers 2.0 version, except that the three defenders have become four defenders, and the Twin Towers have become the counterattacking Scully single arrow. When this formation is used
, that is, because Inter Milan's 4-2-3-1 tactics were not going smoothly, they switched to 4-4-1-1 to strengthen the wing attack. At this time, Genoa began to use the midfield triangle defense system to cooperate with interceptions and
steal.
The third position is the shadow forward position. This is an attempt. Gasperini asked. Judging from his gestures, the central defender directly passed the long ball to initiate a fast break. At this time, Chen Zhuo was asked to move forward quickly. After Scully
He kept a distance of 10 to 15 meters behind him. When Scully was blocked, he protected the ball and passed it back. Chen Zhuo followed up and shot without stopping.

The match day was October 31st. Before the match, Inter Milan’s starting lineup still somewhat surprised the media.
In addition to continuing to use the 22-year-old French teenager Biabiani in the starting lineup, Benitez also started two new players born in the 1990s in this game.
Davide Thornton, an Italian teenager born in 1991, served as the starting left back. Chivu, the left back who made a mistake in the last game that led to Inter Milan conceding the ball, was placed on the bench. Davide Thornton was once in the Mourinho era.
Known as "Maldini's best man" by the media, his condition is not stable enough and has a lot of ups and downs. In addition, he underwent knee surgery in November 2009. David Thornton has not been able to play the main role for most of the season.
.
On the front line, Benitez was even more bold. He used the 18-year-old Brazilian teenager Coutinho and put Milito on the bench. The "bad boy" Cassano was a substitute for the second consecutive game.
Not even on the list.
Coutinho's appearance also means that Benitez's lineup arrangement is 4-4-1-1. In this lineup, the Brazilian youngster serves as a shadow forward, operating behind Eto'o. In Italy
In the tactical system, the shadow forward has no defensive responsibilities. From this aspect, Benitez has indeed given a high level of trust to the Brazilian youngster.
The four midfielders are Biabiani as the left midfielder, the 37-year-old Zanetti as the right midfielder, Sneijder as the attacking midfielder, and Cambiasso as the defensive midfielder, in a diamond position.
The four backs, left back David Thornton, right back Maicon, double center backs Lucio and Samuel, stand parallel, and the goalkeeper is still Cesar.

Responding to 4-4-1-1 is the second tactic. Chen Zhuo is in the right midfielder position, facing two young players, Frenchman Biabiani and 19-year-old Davis Thornton.
At the beginning, both sides carried out a quick sneak attack, but neither achieved results. Eto'o's breakthrough was destroyed by Ranocchia's tackle, Kaladze made a big-footed clearance, and Genoa's quick sneak attack hit Scully for offside.
After the sneak attack failed, the two sides began to slowly rely on their formation to launch a positional attack. After several rounds of testing, under Benitez's instructions and urging, Inter Milan began to press and steal in the midfield and frontcourt, trying to attack the Genoa goal.
Use pressure to cause the opponent to make mistakes within the 40-meter area, thereby gaining a chance to score.
According to the pre-match arrangement, when dealing with Inter Milan's wing and center attacks, Chen Zhuo participated in the defense at different positions and cooperated with the whole team to resist Inter Milan's offensive. The Genoa team played very patiently.
Because the Inter Milan fans were offended in the last warm-up match, in this game, every time Chen Zhuo got the ball, the boos were overwhelming, and every time Chen Zhuo made a steal, the whole audience would roar and call Chen Zhuo loudly.
foul.
The time of this game is the rising period of Chen Zhuo's competitive status, but in terms of the 23-day physical cycle, it is only the first week after getting out of the trough period, and there are still more than two weeks before the peak period. This is also
At Chen Zhuo's request, Rebecca made fine-tuning results two cycles in advance and arranged Chen Zhuo's peak competitive state in mid-November, which was during the Asian Games.
In this game against Inter Milan, Gasperini’s goal is also very clear. To maintain a solid defensive footing and not lose the ball, it is of course better to steal 3 points from Inter Milan’s home court. If they can only take away 1 point, Genoa has already
Satisfied.

Genoa, which focuses on offense this season, surprisingly became the best defensive team after experiencing the first seven rounds.
A small victory over Udinese 1:0 in the first round, a 3:2 reverse against Chievo in the second round, a 2:0 win over Parma in the third round, a 3:0 victory over Fiorentina in the fourth round, a small loss to AC Milan 0:1 in the fifth round, and a 3:0 win over Parma in the third round.
They beat Bari 3:0 in the sixth round, beat Roma 1:0 in the seventh round, and beat Catania 1:0 in the eighth round. In the eight rounds, Genoa scored a total of 14 goals and only conceded 3 goals!
With 14 goals scored in eight rounds, Genoa's offensive power ranks third among Serie A teams, tied for third with Naples. Juventus, with 16 goals, and Palermo, with 15 goals, are ahead.
AC Milan scored 13 goals and Inter Milan scored 10 goals, both ranking behind Genoa.
In terms of defense, Genoa, which only conceded 3 goals in eight rounds, ranked first. Inter Milan, which ranked second after conceding 4 goals in eight rounds, can be regarded as the two best defensive teams in Serie A.
The team's game.
It is precisely because of this data that some media analyzed before the game that this game was likely to be a boring game, and the progress of the game also confirmed that the media analysis did have a certain truth. If it was not an accident,
It is very likely that the game will end in such a boring way with 0:0.
The accident happened in the 39th minute of the second half, and no one expected that it was a mistake by Chen Zhuo that caused the goal!
(five)
It was an attack by Inter Milan in the middle. Harja and Veloso blocked the middle. Chen Zhuo formed a triangle counterattack with them, and together they surrounded Inter Milan's 18-year-old shadow forward Coutinho.
With the cooperation of his teammates, he squeezes in sideways, blocks his position, blocks the opponent with his body and then turns around. There is no problem at all. Chen Zhuo and his teammates have cooperated with this kind of triangle counterattack many times.
Turn around and lightly kick Coutinho first, then make a long pass to find Scully. This is also a routine that has been used many times in training. According to reports, there can be no problems!
But this time, when Chen Zhuo took a step to prepare for a long pass, he found that the opponent's defender had raised his arm, and Scully was indeed in an offside position. Chen Zhuo temporarily closed his foot and prepared to take another step.
Raise your hand for Scully…
At this moment, Chen Zhuo suddenly felt that he had been hit hard. Logically speaking, even if his attention was focused on the front, Chen Zhuo could not fail to notice someone approaching him, and it would be impossible for him to make such a stupid mistake...
Or, it can only be attributed to Chen Zhuo asking Rebecca to help him actively adjust the body's regular cycle. When several lines are in the low period and critical period at the same time, there may really be many problems!
Fortunately, Gasperini didn't know that this was Chen Zhuo's self-arranged state cycle adjustment for the Asian Games, otherwise, he would have been very angry.
Chen Zhuo was hit and staggered by Inter Milan's 18-year-old Brazilian striker Coutinho! You know, that little guy is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 68 kilograms! And Chen Zhuo has recently strengthened his fighting muscle training.
Since then, I have maintained a stable weight of about 77 kilograms!
If Chen Zhuo took advantage of the situation, maybe the referee would punish Coutinho for intentional collision. After all, his body shape was there, but Chen Zhuo just stumbled and he hadn't reacted yet!
This is Gasperini's pressing style of play. Once the ball is lost in any position, he will immediately counterattack on the spot. Originally, the shadow forward has no defensive responsibility, but this does not affect Coutinho's defensive awareness and ability to
The right to steal!
This successful steal also made the Inter Milan fans very excited, especially the annoying Chen Zhuo who was knocked away. The Inter Milan fans collectively gave Coutinho thunderous applause!
Perhaps it was because he was rarely excited after successfully intercepting Chen Zhuo, or perhaps the atmosphere on the scene made Coutinho's adrenaline soar. After the interception, Coutinho turned around and got rid of Chen Zhuo, facing Harja and Veloso.
In the double team attack, he actually took a forceful move, passed through Harja's guard and squeezed between the two people, and then used a fake move to deceive Dainelli at the front line and then made a wonderful pass to Eto'o.
** He scored a goal inside the penalty area and broke through Genoa's goal!
Obviously, most of the credit for this goal goes to Coutinho, who assisted. The 18-year-old Brazilian youngster was also extremely excited.
The replays of this goal on the big screen and in slow motion on the live broadcast all started with Chen Zhuo's stagger...

Conceded a goal in the 39th minute. It is not an easy task to deal with Inter Milan, which conceded the second fewest goals... Oh, it is now tied for the fewest goals conceded.
In addition to 3 minutes of stoppage time, Chen Zhuo tried his best in the last ** minutes, trying to make a mistake. Finally, in the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Chen Zhuo broke through from the right with the ball and continued to shake.
When Biabiani and Davide Thornton got a long-range shot, he was tackled from the side by Davide Thornton and won a free kick from the front.
In the end, Chen Zhuo used his left foot to take a "classic blind spot" penalty, and Cesar was almost able to make a contribution. However, it was just a slight gap that made Chen Zhuo complete his self-salvation.
After the end of this round, Genoa was tied, while second-ranked Lazio defeated Palermo 1:0 and gained three points, tying Genoa in points, both with 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 9 games.
With 22 points, Lazio is temporarily in second place with a goal difference advantage.
AC Milan lost to Juventus 1:2 at home this round, and their points stagnated at 17 points, still in third place. Inter Milan was tied with Genoa at the last moment of the game, and 3 points turned into 1 point, ranking with 16 points.
In fourth place, Juventus rose to 15 points with their victory in this game, and their ranking also rose to fifth place.
Ranked at the bottom, Roma finally defeated Lecce and won its second victory of the season.
Although Chen Zhuo scored a wonderful free kick and helped Genoa achieve a draw at Inter Milan's home court, he was still mercilessly low-scored by Gazzetta dello Sport after the game. The comment was that if Chen Zhuo failed to score within 90 minutes
With such hard work in the last ** minutes, Genoa can achieve more than just one point!

"Players are human beings, not gods. The media's requirements are obviously too high. They have almost treated Genoa as a giant club like Real Madrid and Barcelona. For a configuration like Genoa's, it is already very good to be able to achieve the current results."
It’s not easy anymore.” Gasperini defended Chen Zhuo in an interview the next day, and now local media, including Genoa’s, are criticizing Chen Zhuo.
The reporter asked: "Some fans believe that Patton has clearly preserved his strength in the last two games in order to participate in their Asian Games. Mr. Coach, do you think this is possible?"
Gasperini replied: "For any player, his competitive state will have peaks and troughs. As I said before, players are human beings, not gods. We can be full of desire for victory, but not because
This is how you criticize a player after a draw, from when I took over Genoa to
Now, the start of this season is our best result in history, and we are now at the top of the standings. For this game, the fans used Patton's outstanding performance in the last ** minutes to criticize him.
Min Min didn't try his best, which is also wrong..."
"But the Asian Games is just a low-level international competition. As far as I know, South Korea in Asia has not sent back any players who played in Europe, and Japan even sent a team composed of amateur players. This
Not only does this team have no players playing in Europe, there are no players playing in their J-League. I heard that they are all composed of players from the college league. So for a game like this, Mr. Coach, why don’t you use the club as a
In the name of refusing Patton to participate?" the reporter asked.
Gasperini thought to himself, how do you know I don't want to refuse? I have discussed this with him no less than ten times, but this guy doesn't know what is wrong and insists on running back to participate in such a low-level competition!
"In this regard, our club respects the individual choices of athletes." On the surface, Gasperini could only answer this, and he could not say more.
After the ninth round of competition, Chen Zhuo will leave Serie A temporarily and return to Asia to participate in the Guangzhou Asian Games.
In particular, more than 70% of the fans, including mainland Chinese fans, think that Chen Zhuo's move to participate in the Asian Games is stupid, and even go to the extreme and claim that it is a stupid move. This makes Chen Zhuo represent the first time in his life.
"Country" participated in the international surname competition and felt mixed emotions. (To be continued.)
