Starting with Real Madrid

Chapter 430: heap center

On the afternoon of November 30, Milan's Meazza Stadium.

In the fourteenth round of Serie A, Naples played away to Inter Milan.

When the players of the two teams were brought into the pitch by referee Roberto Rossetti, the entire San Siro stadium boiled wildly.

Although Inter Milan is a rival in the same city against AC Milan, and it is an Italian derby against Juventus, but in the past two seasons, Inter Milan's most troublesome opponents are Gao Shen and his Naples.

Especially in the pre-season Super Cup, Inter Milan lost to Napoli at the San Siro.

Mourinho swears before the game that he wants to reverse Naples at San Siro and climb to the top of the Serie A standings.

This is not just a league, but also the first battle of the Serie A leaders this season, a showdown of grievances between the two sides over the past three years, and even a contest between northern and southern Italian football.

Today, the Meazza Stadium is also full of guests.

In addition to the high-level match against the two sides, there are also political and business celebrities in Milan, as well as professionals in Italian football. Even the national team coach Lippi is sitting in the stands, obviously looking forward to this game.

Compared with Mourinho's high profile before the game, Gao Shen seems to be much lower-key.

This also made many people start to speculate, is he not too sure about winning this game?

Yesterday afternoon, before Naples set off for Milan, Gao Shen announced the roster at the pre-match press conference. When interviewed by the media, he only spoke some mandarin clichés, and there were not many real dry goods.

The only thing that is more valuable is that Gao Shen reiterated that Naples will stick to their own style of play.

"We don't change our tactics depending on the opponent, that's not our style."

And the facts also proved that the two sides really had no surprises and surprises.

"You are exactly what I thought."

This is what Mourinho said before the game, when he saw the high and smiled.

He was talking about Napoli's starting lineup.

Tonight, Naples has a four-three-three lineup, which is the main formation used by Gao Shen in the Champions League.

Goalkeeper: Handanovic.

Defence: Vargas, David Luiz, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner.

Midfield: Biglia, Thiago Motta and Rakitic.

Striker: Di Maria, Cavani and Sanchez.

At present, Gao Shen more often uses four-three-three in the Champions League, and mainly uses four-two-three-one in Serie A.

The reason why 4231 is used in Serie A is mainly determined by the current Naples lineup.

There is only one Thiago Mota, and the other players play the No. 4 position, which has not always been in line with the advanced requirements.

For Mourinho's words, Gao Shen has reservations.

He didn't believe that Mourinho could really guess his decision. In other words, Mourinho should have guessed two or three options, and the high-level formation tonight was one of them.

In fact, he also considered using four-two-three-one, but found in training that if the double center retreats, a center defender will keep up and join forces with Thiago Mota to limit the effect, which will be more effective.

Whether it is physical fitness or strength confrontation, Thiago Motta is actually not much different from the central defender.

He can really play a central defender.

Therefore, after several deliberation, Gao Shen finally chose 4, 3, 3.

But there is really no suspense, but Mourinho's Inter Milan.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Line of defense: Maxwell, Samuel, Lucio and Maicon.

Midfield: Montari, Cambiasso and Zanetti are behind, Stankovic is ahead.

Forwards: Yin Blahimovic and Adriano.

This is the squad that Mourinho had when he played at Juventus, not a single player has changed.

However, the difference is that Crespo and Cruz are on the bench, as well as Figo, Mancini and Moutinho.

Mourinho only had one defender on the bench, Cordoba.

"Do you mean to be a bit life-threatening?" Gao Shen asked with a laugh.

Mourinho looked at Gao Shen and nodded slightly, as if to say: It doesn't matter, you can totally understand it.

"You know what? Jose, I've always felt that you're the type of person who either doesn't gamble and is terribly conservative, or goes out of his way and doesn't want his life, and that kind of person usually dies miserably."

"You fart!" Mourinho laughed.

Gao Shen said this when they were playing cards together before.

"I never talk nonsense. Just wait and see. As far as your bench lineup is concerned, it is estimated that it will not be used tonight."

In fact, this guy has only one idea. Once he falls behind, he will be a center.

One is not enough? I'll replace both!

Gao Shen has no doubt that if Inter Milan falls behind, Mourinho can really pile up all four centers.

This is definitely Mourinho's traditional skills.

In fact, this is also what Gao Shen said, and Mourinho is not good at tuning offense.

The starting point of all Mourinho's tactics comes from his character, which is risk aversion.

People who are risk averse usually don't like creative players and don't use them well.

Because creativity is often linked to risk.

...

...

The start of the game was a typical Neapolitan start.

What do you mean?

In fact, it is Naples massive pressure on the attack.

With just one point in the opening game, Sanchez tried to break into the penalty area on the right, was brought to the ground by Samuel, and gave Naples a free-kick from a relatively wide position, but it was easily confiscated by Cesar.

Napoli continue to keep the pressure on Inter Milan.

Especially the high pressure in the frontcourt is very powerful.

Di Maria and Sanchez's suppression of the two full-backs gave Maicon and Maxwell a headache.

In the fourth minute, when Maicon dribbled the ball forward, he was chased by Di Maria and successfully completed a steal near the midline of the Inter Milan half.

After successfully stealing the ball, Di Maria and Biglia quickly completed a wall-to-wall coordination and drove the ball straight in.

But Zanetti settled down in time, blocked Di Maria on the inside, and successfully blocked the ball from the baseline.

Naples quickly sent a corner kick and headed in front of Cavani in the penalty area.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar responded quickly and held the ball out with one hand, and it was another corner kick.

But this time, Lucio grabbed the first spot and directly pushed the ball out.

Rakitic on the periphery shot a long shot and went high.

In the seventh minute, Cavani was on the periphery of the penalty area, suppressed Samuel with his back, and after receiving Di Maria's cross, stopped the ball and turned around, kicked up and hit the goal, slightly widening to the right of the goal.

In the ninth minute, after Sanchez stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area and broke through Maxwell, he volleyed from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area and slid out again.

A wave of offensive after the opening of Naples made the Meazza stadium exclaimed one after another, and the front of Inter Milan was full of turmoil.

Everyone could see that Napoli wanted to seize the initiative from the very beginning.

Inter Milan seems to be so happy, not competing with Naples, but guarding steadily inside and outside the penalty area.

But the price paid is that in the first ten minutes, Inter Milan did not even have a threatening attack.

As usual, Gao Shen stood in the coach's command area and watched the players on the court.

He sighed in disappointment after seeing Sanchez's shot wide again.

When he turned around and walked back, he shook his head and smiled wryly at the assistants in the coaching bench, "Now he's making it clear that the chariots are going to counterattack."

Zidane nodded, "Let's see how long he can hold on!"

Gao Shen smiled, this is not clear about Mourinho's current strength.

In fact, during the period from Chelsea's dismissal to coaching Inter Milan, Mourinho has improved a lot and has plenty of electricity. At least his understanding of football has come a step closer.

If he really wants to play a defensive counterattack, he can really defend for 90 minutes.

Even, Gao Shen can say that the current Mourinho's ability to organize defense is estimated to be unmatched in European football.

Of course, offense is his weakness.

In the face of Inter Milan's style of play, especially on the counter-attack, the main thing is to control their double center.

The two pillars of Inblahimovic and Adriano cannot be frozen, but they must be controlled, so that Inter Milan's counterattack is difficult to play.

This will test the effect of the targeted training in Naples.

In the 14th minute, Inter Milan had a counterattack.

Yin Blahimovic receded to receive the ball, Adriano topped the front.

Bonucci followed immediately, and when Inblahimovic held the ball, UU read www.uukanshu.com carried him from behind, and Thiago Motta supported him from the side, letting the Swedish center Unable to turn, had to quickly pass the ball back.

Stay on your feet and lose the ball.

It wasn't long before Inter launched another attack, this time with Inblahimovic pulling to the wing, but this time it was Lichtsteiner who held Inblahimovic and Bonucci blocked. On the inside, Thiago Motta dropped in just in time to return to the backline while severing the link between Inblahimovic and Adriano.

Rakitic also retreated in time, following Stankovic's side.

This time, Yin Blahimovic could not pass the ball. When Maxwell returned, he was stabbed by Sanchez first. Naples instigated a quick counterattack, but Inter Milan retreated very quickly.

Obviously, both sides have arranged very targeted defensive tactics, just do not want to let the opponent's attack or counterattack play an effect, and on the scene, Naples have the advantage, but there are few real threatening shooting opportunities, or even none.

By the 18th minute, Naples had already shot seven shots, but none of them were able to score.

Either the chance is bad, or Cesar is brilliant.

The Brazilian goalkeeper really has the level of a top goalkeeper.

On the sidelines, Gao Shen also shook his head secretly in his heart.

"It's going to be a tough fight!"

Mourinho made it clear that he must guard against the dead, and Naples must find a way to break the Inter Milan goal without major flaws in their own defense.

How easy is it to say?

If nothing else, Yin Blahimovic and Adriano are placed in front, who is not afraid?

Adriano is no longer at his peak?

That's still Adriano!
