324. Slow cooker
"Director Zhang, halftime is over. Crystal Palace leads Naples 1:0. What kind of comments do you have on the two teams in the first half?" After the halftime break, it was time for comments from various experts, and the sports station also
Exception, comment on the first half of both sides.
"Crystal Palace plays too much like an Italian team!" Director Zhang smiled and shook his head. "In the league and in the Champions League, Crystal Palace feels like they have two different tactics. In the league, they play more open and pay great attention to the ball in the frontcourt.
The battle for power, but in this game they always put control first, but they are not Barcelona-style pressing and looking for opportunities. I think they are more like the Italian team. The routines look very clear, but in fact they are not very defensive.
Defend."
He Wei nodded. It cannot be said that Premier League teams are not good at controlling the ball, but they play a relatively fast-paced game. It is rare to see a slow-cooked game like Crystal Palace.
"I heard before that the head coach of Crystal Palace, Daniel Wen, relied on Italian-style defensive counterattacks to lead the weak Crystal Palace to the Super League. In the past two years, this label has never been removed from him!"
"The nature of the game is different. In the league, he is not facing a team with a style like Naples, so his playing style is naturally more aggressive! Now in Group A, they are close to Naples and Villarreal in terms of strength.
The competition between them is very important. Daniel is a good coach and knows how to assess the situation. He adopted such a method in this game, which not only suppressed his opponents but also created good scoring opportunities. They have a great chance of winning!" Director Zhang prefers
Crystal Palace.
"So do you think Hao Junmin will get a chance to play in the second half?!" He Wei asked a topic that Chinese fans are paying attention to.
"It's really hard to say. If Crystal Palace plays more smoothly in the second half, I think Hao Junmin will still have a chance to play, but the head coach of Crystal Palace is a person who is more tactically changeable, and he may also have other considerations!"
Director Zhang doesn’t dare to bet on this.
It is true that Wen Sheng did not have a strategy for substitutions in the second half. In short, it needs to be arranged according to the progress of the game. If the situation cannot be changed for a long time, Wen Sheng does not rule out using a 5-back formation in the second half.
At the end of the halftime break, the two sides returned to the court again.
Mazzarri couldn't stand the established defensive counterattack strategy. His defense retreated very deep, but Crystal Palace's offensive pace was very slow. Sometimes they would pass the ball back when they couldn't find a chance, and they would never lose the ball easily.
, which gave his team too few chances to counterattack.
If this trick doesn't work, then it's time to consider pushing the formation out and pushing the defensive area up a little.
He also hopes that the players' condition can improve in the second half.
Although Crystal Palace's tactics were restrained against Naples, it is also true that the players did not show their best performance.
Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and watched the situation on the court. He could clearly see Napoli's front line moving forward in the second half, which fully proved that Mazzarri was definitely not willing to give in.
Wen Sheng didn't plan his own tactics, he still controlled and controlled.
But less than 5 minutes into the second half, Crystal Palace made a mistake in the backcourt. Melo's pass was preempted by Gargano. Gargano passed the ball to Hamsik, who took advantage of the situation and stuffed the ball.
It was given to Lavezzi. Lavezzi dribbled the ball past Benatia and passed the ball. Cavani grabbed the point and actually kicked the empty goal goal out of the baseline.
This is their best chance so far in the first half!
Speroni has already given up, and Van Dijk can't keep up with Cavani's forward speed, and this kind of single defense itself is a very troublesome thing. As soon as he moves, Lavezzi passes the ball!
Wen Sheng's heart was beating involuntarily, this thing was too suspenseful!
"Huh!" After breathing a sigh of relief, Wen Sheng immediately clapped his hands to tell the players to focus!
The comprehensive suppression of Naples in the first half and midfielder Wen Sheng's dissatisfaction with the offensive efficiency gave the players the idea of completing the next goal as soon as possible. Melo's pass reflected this thought. Originally, he was
From the defensive midfielder position, he didn't need to pass the risky ball to the frontcourt, but he happened to pass it, and the result was disastrous, and Naples almost equalized the score.
Mazzarri also tried his best to encourage his players. The mistake made by Crystal Palace just now made him feel that the opponent is really not that invincible. There will still be mistakes in the backcourt, but Cavani's missed opportunity was too serious.
"It shouldn't be!" Even the commentators who were originally directed at the Crystal Palace expressed their opinions.
Cavani buried his head on the grass for a long time and was unwilling to get up. He must be too embarrassed to face Jiang Dong's father.
Napoli's momentum was not lost. Taking advantage of Crystal Palace's chaos, they launched a wave of offensive climax and completed shots one after another. However, they also had problems. They lacked patience and completed three shots in a hurry. One of them was resolved by Spero, and then the other two.
None of the shots hit the door frame.
This is the helplessness of being a coach. Wen Sheng obviously did not arrange it this way, but sometimes the players on the team may not be able to calm down and complete his requirements. Sometimes a mistake on the court may trigger a chain reaction, and even if it is blocked, it cannot be stopped.
live.
Fortunately, this period did not last long, and the players quickly realized that we were in the lead and there was no need to be so anxious.
The team began to slowly get back on track. Wen Sheng began to make substitutions at this time. He replaced Klose with Vardy. Since Naples moved the front line forward, he simply stopped emphasizing positional warfare and returned to his old ways.
Routines, backcourt control, increase the ball forward in one's own half and hit the opponent behind.
Wen Sheng's adjustment took just 6 minutes. In the 72nd minute, Crystal Palace seized an opportunity. De Bruyne received Kante's ball in the midfield and passed the ball forward without stopping. Mertens took advantage of his
With his speed, he caught up with the ball and then passed the ball across the middle. Vardy easily changed the score to 2:0 without anyone defending him.
"The goal was scored! I knew I had to guard against this move from Crystal Palace when Vardy came up! Sure enough, half of the credit for Vardy's goal must go to the youngster De Bruyne. Kante just distributed the ball to
He, he didn't wait for Gargano to get close to him and didn't even look at the situation on the field. He just passed the ball and Gargano didn't stop him!"
"This player knows how to play football with his brain! I think it will be difficult for Crystal Palace to keep him next summer!"
Director Zhang, just praise him, why do you say that Crystal Palace can’t keep him?!
"Naples' offense has just improved, and now it has conceded another goal. I'm afraid this game will be difficult to play!" He Wei commented.
It will definitely be difficult to play, Mazzarri is extremely depressed!
He saw hope just now. He also knew what Wen Sheng's substitution meant, but he had no choice. What else could he do except remind the defense?! Naples was lagging behind, and he could only find a way to press more people in the frontcourt.
!
The three defenders also have inherent disadvantages. Once the wide midfielder goes up and cannot come back, it will be very painful to be played from behind on the wing.
Wen Sheng's substitution adjustment was a conspiracy, but there was nothing Mazzarri could do.
After conceding the ball, Mazzarri will not ignore the rear. It is okay to lose, but don't lose a big score. Besides, the team may still tie, what if they score two goals in a row.
But there really isn’t much time left for him. Crystal Palace is playing more and more easily, and it is very easy to play the ball in the backcourt. Naples itself is not the kind of team that is good at pressing high positions. In Crystal Palace, this kind of "shameless"
It is also difficult to perform under control, and offensive opportunities are becoming more and more limited.
In the 80th minute, Wen Sheng replaced Aubameyang with Hao Junmin. This was the first time Hao Junmin appeared in the game in the new season. It was really a long-awaited one for Chinese fans.
Wen Sheng also had another option, which was to use Larsson on the field, but on the one hand, he considered letting Hills rest over the weekend and Larson would play as a left back. On the other hand, it was not a problem that Hao Junmin would not play all the time.
, you have to think about it for the Chinese fans.
Chapter completed!
