From the man behind the football king to the football king

Udinese did not return to Udine from Turin, but flew directly to Rome. Because at 9 pm local time in Italy on May 4, this season’s Coppa Italia final will kick off at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

For Udinese, this is a very difficult game, because the start time of the Italian Cup final and the start time of the second leg of the Europa League semi-final with Juventus are only 48 hours apart!

In such a short time interval, even a physically strong player like Bruno cannot recover to his best, let alone a veteran like Di Natale.

Fortunately, in the second round of the Europa League against Juventus, Guidolin made a wise choice to rest Di Natale, then used the iron barrel formation to deal with Juventus, and successfully completed a 0:0 draw. .

Of course, this is also because Udinese won 3:1 at home in the first round, otherwise Guidolin would not have dared to do this away from home.

At 8 o'clock in the evening on May 4, Guidolin and the entire Udinese team arrived at the Olympic Stadium in Rome by bus.

In the mixed interview area, Bruno simply accepted an interview with the media: "Naples is very strong, and we just played a difficult game in Turin two days ago, so this will be a very difficult game, but we have Confidence of victory.”

"Napoli have several players who need special attention."

"Is it the confidence given by Juventus?!" a reporter said with a smile.

In the 2012-2013 season, Yinle encountered some difficulties and once lost his main position. However, as Benitez took over Naples that summer, Inler once again became the main player under the famous Spanish coach.

Naples has Callejon, Insigne, Hamsik and Higuain, and is a team accustomed to playing fast-paced football. However, Guidolin keenly captured the fact that Jorginho is not the same player as the entire Naples team. Out of tune, Jorginho is slow, turns slowly, and has a slow rhythm. Guidolin carefully studied Naples' recent games. Naples' fast attack, as long as it reaches Jorginho, it is like suddenly stepping on the brakes and clicking. The sub slowed down.

Therefore, Guidolin chose to use Jorginho as today's breakthrough point.

"Finally, I would like to emphasize that Napoli's rhythm is very fast. They like fast advancement, beautiful breakthroughs and cooperation. What we have to do today is to disrupt their rhythm!"

Although Inler is a defensive midfielder, he is extremely aggressive. His powerful long-range shots in front of the penalty area, as well as accurate direct passes and distribution during counterattacks are his specialties. It is rumored that he lost midfielder Flami in 2008. Wenger of Nigeria planned to introduce Inle, but he has been unable to negotiate a price with Udinese.

This player is very flexible, has delicate footwork, dares to make moves, has excellent feeling in front of goal, can appear where he should appear every time, and has good forward awareness.

The Udinese locker room is very quiet. Some players are listening to music, some are talking softly, and some are reading books. Before the war, the players have their own customary methods to adjust their psychology.

"We used a faster pace to disrupt the Naples!" Guidolin said.

"Finally, here comes the key point." Guidolin clapped his hands and said, "Jorginho! This kid's passing is accurate, which is what we need to pay attention to, but his rhythm is slow, his speed is slow, and he likes to stick to the ball, so as long as When he gets the ball, he goes up to me and presses harder than anyone else! If possible, stealing the ball from Jorginho’s feet is an excellent counterattack.”

Especially in the second round of the Europa League, the powerful Juventus was defeated 0:0 by Udinese, who had rotated most of their main lineup, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. This was like a big joke.

"If Jorginho does not start, Benitez is most likely to send Behrami and Inler to partner as a double midfielder." Guidolin added, "Behrami is fierce in defense and has good running ability. , but this player’s foot skills are rough, so he mostly uses fouls and strong physical confrontation to stop the opponent from moving forward. We can foul him and get free kick opportunities.”

"Gonzalo Higuain is a very comprehensive forward. He is fast, can break through, and has very delicate movements with his feet. Our defenders must remember not to give him too much space and opportunities, but to defend closely. !”

The question now is whether Benitez will send Jorginho to start.

Obviously, the fact that Juventus was eliminated from the Europa League final by Udinese will make this Serie A giant the subject of ridicule and ridicule for a long time to come.

…

"Insigne and Callejon, both of them are very sharp in their breakthroughs from the wing, so be careful to block their crosses."

However, everyone will look at their head coach from time to time, waiting for the head coach to make final pre-game mobilization and some detailed arrangements.

Guidolin is also giving his final tactical explanation.

This season, Juventus, which is likely to set a Serie A points record, only won one game that Udinese strategically gave up in its competition with Udinese, and had 1 draw and 2 losses in the other three games. , the performance was very dismal.

"Marek Hamsik has a balanced left and right foot, very good forward awareness, passing and running without the ball. His problem is that he is thin and has average confrontation ability. When defending him, you have to press him, and He makes physical contact and that's not what he's good at."

Overall, this is a relatively average player.

"Finally, let me tell you what you need to pay attention to in today's game." Guidolin smiled, looked at everyone and said, "After the game starts, no matter how loud I shout on the sidelines, you probably won't listen."

Guidolin pressed the pause button, and the picture of Naples No. 9 on the TV screen froze.

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room. In the team's training these days, they focused on practicing the tactics of quickly launching a counterattack after a successful midfield press. This was aimed at Jorginho.

According to Guidolin's judgment, Naples will use a double midfielder formation of Inler and Jorginho today.

"In addition, Behrami has a bad temper, which can also be exploited. You must remember this." Guidolin said.

Swiss midfielder Inler was once a Udinese player and played for Guidolin for one season. At that time, he was Udinese's unbeatable main midfielder. In the summer of 2011, he moved to Naples and quickly established himself as the main player.

Of course, this is just his judgment.

………………

………………

"I really don't understand where that Portuguese boy's confidence comes from?" a reporter from Naples said unhappily.

Guidolin circled Jorginho's name.

Another midfielder of Naples, Jorginho, joined Naples from newly promoted Verona in the winter transfer window. Jorginho is a talented player who is very promising in Italy. Jorginho has solid foot skills. Therefore, he can assume an important role in controlling the ball and dribbling. At the same time, Jorginho has very excellent passing ability. Basically, short and long passes have a certain success rate. He plays a stable role. As a result, he became a commander in the midfield. But the disadvantages are that the body is too thin, the speed is relatively slow, the lack of creativity, and the passing is too conservative.

………………

It can be said that the entire Udinese team now feels very kind to this player. Bruno even joked that the coach regards Jorginho as the key to Udinese's victory.

"Inler, the Swiss has a long shot, don't let him get the space and opportunity to shoot within the range!"

Guidolin was staring at the tactical board in deep thought.

Then these words caused a burst of laughter. The reporters from Naples, AC Milan, and Inter Milan were all laughing. Only the reporter from Juventus looked embarrassed.

………………

"Heading is something Higuain is not very good at, so I would rather give him a chance to header than try not to let the football get to his feet."

In Guidolin's view, in terms of technical characteristics, except for his slightly poor header, Higuain is almost a perfect forward template. He has extremely strong explosive power and superb shooting skills.

Finally, Bruno gave a victory sign to the reporters.

Guidolin once again explained the characteristics of the players he believed to be the most threatening players in Naples. Every time he introduced a person, he pointed out the strengths and weaknesses of that person, and at the same time told his players what they should pay attention to.

In addition, Higuain can also play ball for his teammates and involve defenders. It is worth mentioning that Higuain is diligent, often intercepting passes from goalkeepers and defenders, and pressing hard in the frontcourt.

In the past few days, Udinese's training has also targeted Jorginho's breakthrough point. If Jorginho does not start, it means that the homework during this period has been in vain.

Of course, Guidolin can't only have this plan. He also made preparations for the situation where Jorginho did not start.

Or to put it bluntly, the Argentina international is Guidolin’s favorite dish.

Video data of the Naples players' game is being played on the TV screen in the home team's dressing room of the Stadio Olimpico and the dressing room of Udinese.

What is written above is his estimated starting lineup for Naples. To be precise, he is eyeing the names Inler and Jorginho.

Udinese captain Di Natale also shook his head and laughed. He had to admit that the coach's judgment and analysis of Jorginho was very accurate.

Disrupt Napoli's fast pace with a fast pace?

This sounds contradictory, but the players all understand what Guidolin means. The coach is referring to faster pressing and more intensive pressure.

"Don't let the Naples players have time and space to take a breath and observe after receiving the ball. Let the football turn into a red-hot charcoal ball, so that they all have to rush the ball." Guidolin waved his arm vigorously.
