In this game, Gasperini also used the "Twin Towers Combination" for the last time. After Chen Zhuo and Van Nistelrooy left, whether it was the "Twin Towers Combination" of Luca Toni and Van Nistelrooy or the "Tony + Van Nistelrooy"
The "Genoa Trident" of Ni+Chen Zhuo will become a memory, so Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy also played particularly hard in this game.
Gasperini's arrangement for Chen Zhuo in this game has two aspects. In terms of high-position defense, Chen Zhuo is responsible for attacking Naples' "central combination" Campagnaro and Hassan Yebuda as soon as they get the ball.
When counterattacking and retreating to defend, Gasperini asked Chen Zhuo to press Naples' "trident".
Naples' "central axis combination" and "trident" are also the five trump cards in Mazzarri's hands. The purpose of letting Chen Zhuo attack them in turn is not to let Chen Zhuo fight one against five, but to use Chen Zhuo's running
The influence and restraint of their ability and stealing ability also allowed Chen Zhuo to perform for the Genoa fans for the last time, allowing the fans to remember how much potential this Chinese has that they have not yet discovered.
Among the five main players, the center back Argentinian Campagnaro is the "direct descendant" of Mazzarri, and he is also the implementer of Mazzarri's defensive ideas. When Mazzarri coached Livorno in the 0304 season when it entered Serie A, he had a keen eye for it.
The hero admired Campagnaro, who was also in the second division team Piacenza at the time. Campagnaro was only 23 years old at the time and was in his second season in the Italian league from Argentina.
Later, during his three years at Reggina, Mazzarri invited Campagnaro many times, but Reggina could not pay too high a transfer fee, and Campagnaro's agent was determined to get Campaniaro.
Yarrow was sent to a "rich club" and failed to complete the transfer for three consecutive years, while Campagnaro has been dormant in Piacenza without a better opportunity.
In 2007, Mazzarri finally moved from the relegation team Reggina to the traditionally strong team Sampdoria. The first thing he did was to acquire Campa from the second division team Piacenza for 4 million euros.
Niaro, during the two seasons at Sampdoria, Campagnaro did not let Mazzarri down and fully realized Mazzarri's tactical intentions.
Two years later, Mazzarri moved to Naples, and also brought Campagnaro with him. Naples also paid a transfer fee of 7 million euros for Campagnaro, although Campagnaro was not yet 6 years old at this time.
Selected for Argentina national team.
According to this rhythm, if Mazzarri leaves Naples, 99% of the time Campagnaro will follow him, no matter which team it is.

Among coaches, Mazzarri is not the kind of coach who works hard to study and invent tactical formations. He is more like a coach who can inspire players in the locker room and on the sidelines, and can also discover the potential of players and let them continue to improve.
, Campagnaro is just one of the potential players he discovered.
The Algerian player Hassan Yebouda, who partnered with Campagnaro to form the "central defense combination", is also a little-known player. The 26-year-old Hassan Yebouda has dual nationality of France and Algeria. When he was 17 years old,
He once competed in the World Junior Championships with the French U-17 team, but in the end he was not selected for the French national team and represented the Algerian adult national team in the 2010 World Cup.
Hassan Yebuda came from the Auxerre youth training camp. He was loaned to Ligue 2 at the age of 22. He moved to Ligue 1 Le Mans the following year. In 2008, he joined Benfica as a top player. He was loaned to Portsmouth last season.
The season was brought to Naples by Mazzarri on a rent-and-buy basis.
Just like Campagnaro, who can play all positions on the back line, Hassan Yebuda can play as a defensive midfielder, front midfielder and left and right midfielders. He is strong and has a balance of offense and defense. He is an all-around midfielder with a high price-performance ratio.
.
In addition to these two all-rounders in the backcourt, the "Naples Trident" has also been refined year by year by Mazzarri for more than a year. The 25-year-old Lavezzi is
He was brought to Naples from Argentina in 2007 and was also an Argentine Olympic player in 2008. The transfer fee at the time of acquisition was 6 million euros, which was 500,000 euros lower than the transfer fee for Lavezzi. The Slovak player Hamšik was the same player.
Lavezzi transferred in one year, and Hamsik was 20 years old when he transferred.
Of course, Brescia, which sold Hamsik for 5.5 million euros, did not suffer a loss. When they brought Hamsik from Slovakia to Italy when he was 17 years old, they only spent a measly 60,000 euros.
After Mazzarri came to Naples, Lavezzi and Hamsik became more and more powerful. Mazzarri adjusted the 1.73-meter Lavezzi from attacking midfielder to winger, and adjusted the 1.84-meter Hamsik from center to winger.
This kind of fine-tuning makes the two of them feel better and better on the court. Before the season, the two of them were already worth tens of millions. However, Mazzarri believed that 10 million was far from the worth of the two of them. After that,
It will double in one or two seasons!
Sure enough, as Mazzarri judged, Naples did not let go of Lavezzi and Hamshik. The "trident" formed by them and the Uruguayan forward Edinson Cavani introduced this season was very powerful in the first half of the season.
The initial doubts that fans had about Mazzarri's investment of 15 million euros to introduce Edinson Cavani have long since disappeared!
The winter break is about to come. At present, the clubs of these five main players have made new offers. The highest one is Cavani. A club has already made an offer of 30 million, which is double what it was half a season ago.
This is not surprising, because Cavani has scored 13 goals in less than half a season. At the top of the Serie A standings, Lavezzi and Hamschik's quotations have also exceeded 15 million.

There are more rumors about Chen Zhuo's transfer, especially in the first half of the season when Chen Zhuo personally "combated on two fronts" and achieved excellent results. Moreover, in the first half of the season, Chen Zhuo played 9 games on behalf of Genoa and scored in these 9 games.
He scored 7 goals and 5 assists, and in these 9 games, Genoa scored 15 goals.
Among the 15 goals, 12 were scored or assisted by Chen Zhuo, which fully demonstrates the importance of Chen Zhuo in Genoa's offensive system. This is also the reason why many teams that want to improve their offensive capabilities want to acquire Chen Zhuo.
However, all rumors are just rumors. AC Milan's attitude is very firm. They will not sell it, no matter how much money is given. AC Milan is not short of money.
For Genoa, losing Chen Zhuo is naturally a major loss. However, in the 15 rounds of games that have been played in the first half of the season, there is a statistical comparison between Chen Zhuo's appearance and non-appearance. In the 9 games that Chen Zhuo participated in, Genoa won 6 and 2
There was a draw and 1 loss. In the 6 games that Chen Zhuo did not play, Genoa had 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Judging from this data, Genoa will not plummet because of Chen Zhuo's departure, and the results are still stable.
Of course, all the data is mainly for explanation. The one where Chen Zhuo participated had two draws and one loss, against the top three in the north, and both AC Milan and Inter Milan were away games. However, the one where Chen Zhuo did not play had one draw and one loss, respectively 0
:1 loss to Palermo and 0:0 draw with Brescia. The difference in opponent strength is obvious.
In addition, judging from the goals scored without Chen Zhuo, in the four victories that Chen Zhuo did not play, three were 1:0, one was 3:1, and there were 5 goals in the four games, while the six games in which Chen Zhuo was present were
wins, with a total of 13 goals scored.
From this comparison, we can clearly see that when Chen Zhuo is not on the court, Genoa's offensive power is still reduced! Therefore, all clubs are not fools, and they calculate the value of each player very shrewdly.
of.
Although AC Milan did not confirm those rumors and quotations, judging from the scattered reports, Chen Zhuo's personal worth has now reached 24 million. This is also the general worth of core players in Italian Serie A teams, which is the same as half a season ago.
Compared with the 24 million of "Chen Zhuo Fanny Combination", Chen Zhuo's personal value has increased a lot, and it is even the same as when Zlatan Ibrahimovic moved to Milan half a season ago.
There are also rumors that Liverpool are preparing to bid 30 million to let Chen Zhuo help them compete in the Europa League. There are also rumors that Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea, a quasi-rich Premier League club, is preparing to spend 50 million to buy Chen Zhuo from Milan, hoping that Chen Zhuo can help Chelsea compete in the Champions League.
AC Milan's purpose of sending Chen Zhuo to Genoa in the first half of the season was to allow him to adapt to Serie A as quickly as possible. At the same time, Genoa had no European competitions, so that it could still retain Chen Zhuo's qualifications to participate in the Champions League. Milan had already made the calculation. When he was in Genoa
, even the wages of Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy are paid by Milan.
Half, each of them has an annual salary of more than 3 million. It is difficult for a small club like Genoa to afford it. Therefore, after half a season, several millions have been invested in Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy. How can they just casually
I sold them casually. I originally bought them both to prepare for the Champions League!

Chen Zhuo, who was running all over the field, also won rounds of applause from the fans. Although he was not able to defeat one against five, he could be seen on both offense and defense. Chen Zhuo also expressed his love for Genoa in this way.
grateful.
The two sides also played offensive football on the scene. Chen Zhuo also scored twice and defeated Naples 2:1, ending his farewell game.
Those were two long-range goals in the first and second half, both from a distance of more than 40 meters. Chen Zhuo rarely shoots from this distance this season. Compared with when he was in Hamburg, Chen Zhuo's long-range shots were relatively conservative.
Some want to advance to a more confident distance, so the number of long-range shots he takes this season has also decreased.
Because it was the last game, Chen Zhuo also felt like he was going all out. He shot 4 long-distance shots in the whole game. One shot missed slightly, and once was saved by the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper failed to score the other two goals.
He jumped out and got into the nest from the left and right blind corners.
After the game, Genoa fans complained very regretfully, saying that Chen Zhuo took fewer long-range shots in the first half of the season and scored 2 out of 4 shots. What a high ratio. There is no need to pursue 100%! Gasperini is also regretful.
Very well, this was also because of him. Most of the time, he arranged for Chen Zhuo to be as close as possible to 35 meters before firing.
The regret is irreparable. For this lighthouse city, Chen Zhuo is just a ship entering the harbor for a rest. After a short berth here, he will weigh anchor again and a new voyage will begin.
