It was already around the minute of the second half when Chen Zhuo was warming up. The score was 0:1 and Juventus was leading. It was only after Gasperini saw this conceded goal that he asked Chen Zhuo to warm up.
Strictly speaking, this goal conceded was not a mistake by Genoa, but Piero, who had been silent for a long time in this game, broke out. In the 19th minute of the second half, Piero, who was unknown in the audience, received the ball from the top side of the arc.
Receiving a pass from Grosso after breaking through from the left wing, he relied on Dainelli to half-turn and volleyed, scoring a world wave.
**The area on both sides of the top of the arc was originally the area where Del Piero was best at. During Del Piero's heyday, this area was called the "Pierro Zone". When he scored this volley, it was so exciting.
I almost forgot Del Piero's age, the "Zebra Prince" on the court is already a 36-year-old uncle.
This is the 13th round of competition. Juventus's results in the first 12 rounds are not ideal, with 5 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, ranking fifth in Serie A after Genoa, AC Milan, Lazio and Naples, with 4 points.
Inter Milan, which has won 6 draws and lost 2, is 2 points higher.
This result is already on the rise. The first four rounds of the season were 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, which was the low point. Subsequent adjustments were also stumbling, with one win and one draw. It was not until the 9th and 10th rounds that we won the first place in the season.
After two consecutive victories, they failed to continue their strong performance and were tied by Brescia and Roma in the 11th and 12th rounds.
Nearly one-third of the 38 rounds of Serie A have been completed. Such results do not match the investment of more than 60 million euros in the summer transfer market. Rumors that Del Neri will be replaced by the silver fox Lippi have also been spread repeatedly.
Since then, fans have never stopped questioning Delneri's ability.
(two)
To say that Delneri is a master tactician is definitely not true. He relied on the 442, the best and most traditional Italian, to stand out from the small teams in Serie A and enter the attention of the Juventus board of directors. In terms of tactical literacy
, compared to Capello, Sacchi and even Lippi, he can only be considered a small player.
The 4-4-2 formation seems simple, but when used properly, its high efficiency will still be enviable. This is why some coaches use the 4-4-2 formation as the basis of their tactical routines throughout their lives.
Although there are many variations on this simplest style of play, it is always inseparable from the issue of the wing. For Juventus' opponents, how to make defensive arrangements and effectively implement Juventus' wing attack routine is how they
Methods and routines to deal with Juventus.
Gasperini's formation for this game was 4-5-1, placing Kaladze and Tomovic behind Criscito and Rafinha to strengthen the defense of Pepe and Krasic.
Effectively restricting the performance of Juventus' two wingers.
If the winger is not playing smoothly enough, Iaquinta, a high center forward, will lose his usefulness. Whether it is to grab a shot or serve as a tactical support point to ferry Del Piero, it will be useless without fire support from the wing.
In addition to the wings, Genoa's frontcourt starting triangle is composed of double midfielders Veloso, Marco Rossi and attacking midfielder Palacio. They not only assist the two wingers against Juventus, but also the two wingers.
He blocked the ball and effectively fought against Juventus' two midfielders, Marchisio and Motta, in the middle.
Delneri's 4-4-2 has a lot of his personal style. For example, he is used to the defenders standing parallel, the midfielders also have to stand in a line, the forwards are high and the other is fast, and the wing players must have speed and
He has enough stamina to perform ** to **, that is, **ox-**ox coverage, and he also has high requirements for the central midfielder and defensive midfielder. First of all, he must be good at defense, and secondly, he must have the ability to move forward.
A type that is not weak in strong defense and attack, and there is no attacking midfielder in Del Neri's formation.
Basically, his routine is still the same as when he was successful in small teams such as Chievo. Most Serie A teams are familiar with it. Therefore, in the confrontation with Juventus, Delneri's tactical arrangement actually does not add points.
There are many, but what is more difficult to guard against is that Juventus has too many big-name stars. Occasionally, one or two will randomly break out and complete the "killer".
Just like this game, there were no mistakes in all defenses, but the left back Grosso suddenly broke in and passed to the "Pierro zone" after continuous breakthroughs, and Del Piero was actually able to play sideways in his peak period.
The volley shot and Genoa's goal was breached, so there isn't much to say. If Juventus doesn't score with this kind of double-star burst of coordination, it would be unjustifiable.
(three)
In the 26th minute of the second half, just 7 minutes after Juventus took the lead, Gasperini sent on Chen Zhuo and replaced right back Tomovic.
This should not be a matchup substitution, but a tactical adjustment by Gasperini. Delneri carefully observed the situation on the field. The assistant coach of Juventus also drew various possibilities on the board to prepare for Delneri.
Provide an intuitive reference.
It is possible to change the formation to a 3-5-2, with Palacio and Luca Toni partnering as the forwards, Chen Zhuo as the attacking midfielder, and the back line adjusted to Kaladze, Dainelli and Ranocchia.
The second possibility is still 4-5-1. After Tomovic comes off the field, the right midfielder Rafinha retreats to the right back position, Palacio serves as the right midfielder, and Chen Zhuo serves as the attacking midfielder.
Both of these two possible surnames presuppose Chen Zhuo as the attacking midfielder.
Chen Zhuo's position seems to be the right back. After coming on the field, Chen Zhuo ran to that position to defend Juventus' left midfielder Pepe, and cooperated with Rafinha to complete a steal and destruction.
Delneri didn't understand Gasperini's thoughts for the time being. The goal he just conceded was indeed caused by Grosso on the wing, who, under the cover of Pepe's inward cut, continuously broke through Rafinha and Tomovic.
During the halftime period, Delneri arranged to focus on the right back Tomovic, thus forming a key breakthrough. Therefore, it is also appropriate for Genoa to strengthen the defense on the right, but if Chen Zhuo is asked to strengthen the defense on the right, who will leave the offensive organization to him?
To complete it?
He didn't understand it yet, so Del Neri didn't make corresponding adjustments for the time being.
(Four)
Grosso threw the frontcourt throw-in to Motta, and the midfield triangle immediately stepped forward to grab it. Motta turned the ball back to Grosso, and Rafinha also followed closely. Grosso passed the ball
For Pepe, Chen Zhuo went up to block it, Iaquinta was in the middle to contain it, Del Piero also came over here, Dainelli made up the position to the right, Marco Rossi retreated... In a moment, Genoa
The narrow space on the right became crowded.
Genoa, which had the numerical advantage, finally caused a mistake by Juventus through the encirclement. Chen Zhuo passed the ball to the gap on the right. Rafinha went along the right to rush into the gap left by Grosso's assist. Juventus
Tooth's defense began to move back to their left, and Grosso also began to retreat quickly.
After advancing Domi at high speed, Rafinha turned inside, Palacio ran from behind him to the right, and Chen Zhuo also cut in at high speed from the backcourt.
Chiellini followed Luca Toni in his movement and directed his teammates to cover each other's positions. Bonucci went up to block Rafinha's inward cut, and Grosso followed to mark Palacio on the edge.
Midfielder Motta and Marchisio guard Chen Zhuo to guard against his long shot.
It is still difficult for Rafinha to break through one-on-one with Bonucci after cutting inside. Bonucci is also a player in the Genoa youth training camp. He was the "dream central defender combination" formed with Ranocchia in Bari last season.
Bonucci was bought by Juventus during the season, half of Ranocchia's ownership was bought by Inter Milan, and Genoa made great gains in transactions.
Chiellini's judgment was indeed correct. Rafinha did not choose to force Bonucci, but passed the ball back to Chen Zhuo!
Marchisio and Motta had retreated to the vicinity of Chen Zhuo, and when Rafinha returned the pass, they attacked him from the left and right! Chen Zhuo's shooting angle and breakthrough route were both blocked by the Juventus pair.
The lower back is sealed!
Rafinha passed the ball with moderate intensity. Chen Zhuo did not slow down at all and rushed straight over. Facing the ball, he swung his leg with great amplitude. However, the moment he touched the ball, Chen Zhuo reduced his intensity.
, rubbed the bottom of the ball and raised his toes, then Marchisio and Motta knocked Chen Zhuo into a sandwich cookie...
However, the entire handling of the ball has been completed. The ball flew back from Chen Zhuo's head, and Marchisio and Motta, who collided with Chen Zhuo, could only watch helplessly.
Veloso, who was not far behind Chen Zhuo, lobbed the ball directly to the left before the ball landed...
Seeing this delicate handling and cooperation, the fans at Genoa cheered.
On Genoa's left wing, Criscito cuts inside and Kaladze covers the side. Juventus's right back Grigra cannot take care of both. He rushes to the wing position while calling on his teammates to help him cover the inside cut.
Cristo.
At this time, most of Juventus' players were moved to the other side, and their right midfielder Krasic also ran back to the center to cover the gap left by the double midfielder Chen Zhuo.
(five)
From the unconventional way Chen Zhuo handled the ball when facing Juventus' double midfielder attack, Gasperini was already clenching his fists and shouting, attacking in the east and west, allowing Chen Zhuo to insert from the right to attract Juventus.
Juventus's defensive strength and defensive focus, and then quickly transferred through the pass, to attack Juventus' weakest right back position. This is Gasperini's tactical idea!
After Thuram moved to Barcelona, the right back has been a shortcoming of Juventus since the 2007 season. The Czech international Grigra introduced from Ajax in 2007 was relatively stable, but last season
Grigra, who is nearly 30 years old, has been suffering from injuries and has only played 19 times throughout the season. This season, Aquilani and Sorensen have tried to play the right back position, but the results were not as good as Grigra's.
As the biggest shortcoming of Juventus this season, basically right midfielder Krasic and center back Bonucci attach great importance to protecting Grigra in this position.
Of course, strength is only relative. In Sparta Prague, Ajax, and Grigra are the absolute main force of the team. Not only are they capable of defensive functions, but they are also very sharp in assisting from the right.
Unfortunately, this is Serie A. In fact, even if it were to be in any of the five major leagues except Serie A, with Grigra's ability, he would be able to be the absolute main force. However, in Serie A, Grigra unfortunately became a "short-term player".
"Board".
No matter how he is Juventus' starting right back, no matter how short he is, he will not be broken like a dog! Kaladze stopped the ball and broke through, but Grigra successfully squeezed it to the outside. The two squeezed and fought all the way.
, did not allow Kaladze to successfully form an inside breakthrough.
However, in front of the experienced Kaladze, Grigra was really inferior. When Kaladze successfully squeezed Grigra away, Grigra reached out from behind Kaladze to hook the ball. Kaladze made an exaggerated move.
flew out...
"Du~~~" The referee will not let go of this foul on the ** line. Fortunately, the referee only gave a free kick and did not award a penalty kick. However, this free kick about meters away from the fans was very difficult for Chen Zhuo.
For Genoa, is there any difference from a penalty kick?
(six)
With this goal, Genoa finally equalized the score and tied with Juventus 1:1.
In the following games, both sides had opportunities. Iaquinta collided with Chen Zhuo in the 79th minute and his eyebrows bled. Juventus accused Chen Zhuo of hitting the penalty kick with his elbow, but the referee insisted that it was both sides.
The headers collided, which caused great dissatisfaction from Juventus, but looking at the slow motion, the referee was undoubtedly right.
The top of Chen Zhuo's head was also scratched and bleeding, and he joined the battle with a bandage in the final stage. And judging from the replay, Iaquinta had a suspected elbow strike, but Chen Zhuo blocked it with his arm in the air, otherwise
It is very likely that the bridge of his nose will be broken. Juventus players also saw Chen Zhuo raising his arms and suspected that he had elbowed Iaquinta.
Although Chen Zhuo was injured, he could persist, but Iaquinta could not persist and was replaced. It was also because of this injury that disrupted Del Neri's plan. The original place for Del Piero was used for Iaquinta.
This also resulted in the 36-year-old Del Piero basically disappearing in the last ten minutes, and Juventus was unable to expand the score.
Genoa's opportunity came in the 90th minute. Chen Zhuo stole the newly-introduced Juventus forward Quagliarella and then made a long pass. Luca Toni was pulled down by Chiellini while fighting at the top of the arc. This was an obvious foul by the referee.
There was no whistle, and Chen Zhuo and Genoa also lost the opportunity to use a free kick to kill Juventus.
After the draw in this game, Genoa has 9 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and is tied with Milan, which is 2 points behind. Moreover, since Milan has won big victories in recent rounds, Genoa has been consecutively one to zero or zero to one.
Or it could be a one-to-one draw, and the goal difference and number of goals scored would be surpassed by Milan, giving up the top spot in Serie A.
However, Lazio, ranked third in this round, also suffered a draw. With 26 points, it is still 3 points behind Genoa and Milan, followed by Naples with 24 points.
Inter Milan lost again. Their poor record of three draws and two losses in the last five rounds has caused them to slip to seventh place. However, Roma swept away the decline with a wave of five consecutive victories and caught up with 22 points with 6 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.
The fifth place is behind Juventus with 21 points and Inter Milan with 21 points. (To be continued.)
