! “This is the so-called dimensionality reduction attack!”

In the stands, when Sacchi saw Naples attacking Roma's goal like a storm, he was filled with sighs and sighs, and some faint admiration in his heart.

Talents come from every generation, and European football has never been short of talents!

San Gaoshen is the most amazing talent in European football in the past two years in Sacchi's mind, especially his tactical concepts.

"You know? Zinedine, Italian football has really gone astray, and what Gao Shen insists on is the direction."

Zidane looked at Sacchi and nodded. He had heard Sacchi mention this matter more than once.

Whether in columns, in public, or even at coaching summits, Sacchi mentioned it repeatedly.

Some media even ridiculed him, saying that he was the number one boaster.

Some people are even conspiratorially speculating about some kind of p-deal between him and Gao Shen. Otherwise, how can we explain that Sacchi is so desperate to praise Gao Shen and insist on touting him as the number one head coach in the world?

It makes no sense, doesn't it?

"Actually, as early as when he was at Real Madrid, Gao Shen repeatedly emphasized one thing in training and games, which is to increase the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, faster, faster." Zidane thought of the second half of last season.

of Real Madrid.

For him, that will be the most unforgettable memory in his life.

"Quick, you need to have a foundation." Saki replied.

Everyone knows to be fast, but the question is, why should you be the only one to be fast? Can’t others be fast?

If everyone is fast, is yours still fast?

On the football field, the so-called fast and slow are relative to the opponent.

If your opponent is as slow as a snail, then you can move faster than your opponent.

Therefore, the increase in offensive and defensive conversion speed is essentially faster than the opponent.

Then we must compress the time required for offensive and defensive transitions as much as possible, and then compress it again.

Gao Shen followed a path very similar to that of Sacchi. After grabbing the ball, whoever had the ball at his feet would initiate a counterattack.

This is equivalent to saying that there is no middleman to make the difference.

The fewer links there are in the middle, the fewer mistakes will be made and the shorter the time will be.

Of course, it is impossible for one person to do everything in every attack. This is unrealistic.

So, this is a test for the head coach.

"I wonder if you've noticed? Today, at the San Paolo Stadium, Roma's offense and defense were torn apart," Sacchi said.

Zidane nodded, "There is a huge gap in the midfield."

"Yes, this was originally the area covered by Perrotta."

Zidane suddenly realized it, didn't he?

Gao Shen said before that if Vidal defeated De Rossi in the first round, he would adopt another style of play. But when Vidal defeated Perrotta, that is the current style of play.

He just wants to use targeted tactics and use Naples as a whole to suppress and force Roma to have this kind of offensive and defensive split situation. The front attack is very high, and the whole court has to be pressed, and the defense behind is very passive.

Already.

Especially when Naples steals the ball and switches from defense to offense, it is more efficient than Roma.

No wonder every counterattack can create a time difference.

"Those who win the midfield win the world, Gao Shen will definitely win tonight!" Sacchi said in a very complicated tone.

Logically speaking, he should be happy that his prediction was accurate, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Roma, the second-ranked team in Serie A this season, although the overall strength is much lower than Inter Milan, but no matter how you look at it, you can't say that they were beaten so embarrassingly by their opponents, right?

But today, in front of a Serie B team in Naples, they were beaten with almost no power to fight back.

If this comes to Europe, to the knockout rounds of the Champions League, is there still a way to survive?

Sacchi really couldn't imagine and couldn't accept that Italian football had really declined to this extent.

But this is reality!

Zidane on the side looked more and more fresh and interesting.

It turns out that looking at a game and analyzing a game from the perspective of a head coach is completely different from that of a player.

After retiring, he always felt like he was lost.

Because he has been playing football since he was a child, and for a while he really didn't know what he could do or what he wanted to do.

Spending time with his wife and children at home every day is really a torment for him.

This time, he suddenly came to Naples on a whim, actually just for a sense of freshness.

But at this moment, sitting in the stands, listening to Sacchi's analysis, watching the Naples players in the stadium so much that Roma had to retreat, and watching Gao Shen commanding from the sidelines, Zidane suddenly had an idea.

.

In fact, being a head coach is not bad either.

After the game restarted, Roma understood the situation clearly.

Spalletti obviously saw very clearly that if he continued to attack like Naples, Roma's defense would be broken sooner or later, so he decisively chose to hold on and consolidate the defense first...

He even wanted to lure Naples into attacking.

But Gao Shen is not so easily fooled.

As a qualified realistic idealist, all decisions Gao Shen makes are based on winning.

Facing Rome at this moment, Gao Shen resolutely chose Gou.

If you don’t attack, I won’t attack either!

If you want to attack, I will hit you and counterattack!

What? Scolding me for not sticking to my philosophy?

If you stick to your ideals and have idealism, then you can attack it.

If you attack, I will naturally fight back. Wouldn't it be great if we all stick to our ideals together?

As a result, from the 20th minute on, the scene began to become stalemate.

Spalletti finally saw clearly the problem with Roma's game. Originally, he felt that when Perrotta was here, he was more active in running and supporting the team, but now it seems that it is much more than that, especially

It's Perrotta's presence rate on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Spalletti is not an idiot. He was a little confused at first, but now he calmed down and he immediately understood the reason.

Totti, Vucinic, Mancini and Tadei in front often pressed too high, and Pizarro also frequently pushed forward, resulting in a serious vacuum in Roma's entire midfield.

There was a pressing force in the frontcourt, but the gap behind him was also wide, and the entire formation was seriously torn and disjointed.

In this case, Naples naturally plays it right.

In the past, when Perrotta was here, his defensive presence would ensure that he could return to De Rossi's side in time and provide sufficient protection for the defense.

This is what Spalletti and everyone else missed.

Thinking of this, the Roma coach couldn't help but remember that a week ago, Gao Shen made harsh words and said that he would score three Roma goals at the St. Paul Stadium. Could it be said that he already knew about Roma's problems at that time?

Spalletti felt terrible just thinking about it.

Is he really only twenty-six years old?

Do you have such vision and experience at such a young age?

…

From the beginning of the lineup, Roma actually had no good solution.

After a period of stalemate, especially at the end of the first half, Spalletti could not sit still, let alone the Roma players on the court.

If we really want to enter the second half with a score of 0 to 3 behind, Roma's situation will be even more difficult.

Therefore, Roma chose to attack in the last few minutes of the first half, trying to steal another wave.

But Spalletti clearly underestimated Gao Shen and his Napoli.

In fact, they have been waiting for Rome to come out.

When the Giallorossi took the initiative and tried to press Naples, who had the ball advantage in the frontcourt, Naples soon gave a painful counterattack.

David Luiz, the Brazilian central defender with a messy hair like a hedgehog, seemed to be cheating today and performed extremely bravely.

When a teammate intercepted the ball in the backcourt, he quickly moved forward to the gap at the front of the penalty area. After receiving the pass from Vargas, he stopped and did not continue to move forward. Instead, he directly sent a long diagonal kick.

pass.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Damn, are you sure this is a central defender?

Why does it feel like he is like Pirlo, specializing in long passes and counterattacks?
