Chapter 366 The Visiting Team's Dressing Room at St. Paul's Stadium (Second Guarantee)
The Champions League game against Lyon is Naples' second Champions League group match, which is very important for them.Because after the draw with Liverpool in the away game, Naples only accumulated one point. If they can't take advantage of the home court advantage and beat the visiting Lyon, their qualifying situation will be in danger.

Lyon defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 1-0 at home in the last round of the group stage.Currently leading the group standings.

If this game allows Lyon to win again, Lyon will continue to occupy the first place in the group.And as long as Liverpool and Zenit St. Petersburg win or lose, Naples, which has only one point, will be at a disadvantage.If Liverpool wins, Liverpool will be second. If Zenit St. Petersburg wins, St. Petersburg will be second, unless they draw...but if they draw, Liverpool will be second, and Naples does not know whether they can rank third or fourth...

Anyway, not a good result.

Therefore, in order to be able to firmly control the fate in their own hands, Naples must win the home game against Lyon.

※ ※ ※

"Lyon is no longer the team that won the Ligue [-] seven consecutive championships a few years ago, but we still can't take it lightly." In the tactical class before the game, Mazari was analyzing Lyon for the players.

Three games in six days, the time is too tight, there are many things too late to do targeted training, so Mazari is a bit uncertain.

He doesn't know what state his team can show when facing Lyon.

Of course, Naples is not helpless.At least although Naples has been thoroughly studied by the opponents of the Serie A team, Naples still has enough mystery in the Champions League. Not all European team coaches will know Naples well.

Heading tactics, which have become less and less powerful in Serie A, still have room to play in the Champions League.

Because the opponent didn't know enough about Chen Yingxiong and Naples' tactics.

So this game still has to play Chen Yingxiong's head.

Chen Yingxiong is very happy with this arrangement, because it means that he will take on more offensive tasks and have more opportunities to score goals.

He just loves scoring goals.

"Their two centre-backs are pretty good in the air, so we try to pull them out before crossing..."

For this reason, a lot of the crossing work in this game will be handed over to the two full backs, because Arshavin and Cassano need to enter the penalty area to attract Chen Yingxiong's defense.Of course they didn't go in and compete for a header with the opposing defender.But as long as they can get into the penalty area, they can attract the attention of Lyon defenders.You must know this set of tridents, but none of them are unknown. Chen Yingxiong is the top scorer in history since the UEFA Cup was restructured. Cassano became famous seven or eight years ago. Arshavin is the biggest discovery in the 2008 European Cup. .Of these three people, it is impossible for the defenders of any team to defend only one of them and let the other two enter the penalty area, regardless.

Mazari’s tactic for the team is that at least two of the three should be in the penalty area at the same time to disperse the opponent’s defensive power. Being able to attract some people can create opportunities for others.

In the previous Naples games, Cassano and Arshavin were used as wingers. They were more active on the wing, and it was not that they did not enter the penalty area, but they seldom.

This time, Mazari asked both of them to go in, and he didn't feint. Whenever he had the opportunity, he rushed to score.

If they can show a state of threatening the opponent's goal, they will naturally attract the attention of the Lyon defenders. At that time, Chen Yingxiong will also get a chance.The reverse is also true.

For this reason, Mazari even modified the starting formation, from the 433 that Naples has been playing since this season to the 343 that Naples has been playing last season, with three central defenders, and Macho was mentioned from the right back position to the right avant-garde , At the same time, the position of the left midfielder was replaced by Sanchez. These two people will act as the team's wing assaulters and passers. Many of the balls given to Chen Yingxiong will come from their feet.

This adjustment is not too risky, because Naples played for a season last season, and this tactic is familiar to them.

Italian teams have started to adapt to Napoli's 343-[-]-[-], because Rea has played with this formation for several seasons.But the Europeans are not used to it-the three-back tactic has basically disappeared in the European continent, and few teams use the three-back tactic.

Therefore, using 343, Naples can still "win with odds" in Europe.

In the visiting dressing room at the San Paolo Stadium, even with the doors and windows locked, the loud noise from outside could still be heard.

"Napoli! Naples! Naples!" At this moment, there was still an hour before the start of the game, and the San Paolo Stadium was already full of seats.

This is the first time in 18 years that the San Paolo Stadium ushered in the UEFA Champions League match belonging to Naples. The fans of Naples have been rushing to the San Paolo Stadium since the early morning of this day, waiting to enter.

They want to unleash all the passion they have lasted for 18 years, just like Mount Vesuvius.

Flood the incoming enemy Leon with lava of passion!
Right now, they're doing it.Among their shouts and songs, the Lyon fans couldn't make a sound at all.

Lyon coach Claude Puel (Claude_Puel) was just about to say a few words: "Okay, gentlemen..."

Then he was interrupted by sudden cheers outside.

He had no choice but to shut up, and when the cheers passed and the momentum of the Naples fans became weaker, he continued: "...This game is an away game, and we will face many difficulties..."

It was interrupted again, and the Naples fans outside sang, the singing was impassioned and imposing.

Puel smiled helplessly, then spread his hands and said to his players: "I believe you should have a very deep understanding now..."

The sound insulation of the visiting team's dressing room at the San Paolo Stadium is poor.This can be regarded as a trick to deal with and interfere with the visiting team.This thing is not new, and many teams will have their own tricks to deal with visiting team players.

It stands to reason that in the locker room, it should be a place where you can concentrate [-]% and do what you should do.But in order to interfere with opponents, the visiting team locker rooms in many stadiums are not as good as imagined.From blaring music to venting foul-smelling fumes to changing the temperature of the room and serving only cold water, these tricks are the old man's motto: "If you can drive your opponent crazy, he probably can't." Normal game."

A British medical study found that a leading actor experienced the same level of stress the night before a performance as the damage of a car accident.So are footballers under similar horror pressure?The answer is yes.The live TV broadcast reflects the entire game. While the players have gained great fame, they are also under tremendous pressure. What should they do if they perform poorly in a live TV game?Immediately after the game, he will become a sinner criticized by the media and spurned by the fans.

Such pressure is not insignificant.

Therefore, most players are actually very worried before the game, and some of them are almost psychologically worried even from the day before the game.If the home team takes advantage of the home court to create some troubles for the visiting team in the locker room at this time, it will have a greater impact on their state...

The poor sound insulation of the visiting team's locker room at the San Paolo Stadium is a trick of the Naples club.

Everyone knows that Naples is known as the "home of the devil", and the fans here are known for their extreme fanaticism.If the soundproofing effect of the locker room is not very good, and the head coach's voice can be lowered... then everyone should use text messages to communicate before and during the game!
Puel is not the kind of person with a loud voice, he waved his hands helplessly: "Forget it, go out and warm up!"

※ ※ ※

When the Naples players appeared on the court to warm up, they were welcomed by tens of thousands of Naples fans.

The Napoli fans cheered, sang and chanted their team with never-ending waves of cheers, chants and chants, all while keeping the pressure on Lyon.

Lyon's players are also experienced in many battles, but fans as crazy as Naples, to be honest, they are not common...

※ ※ ※

The Lyon players were obviously influenced by the Naples fans. From the beginning of the game, they were slow to enter the state.

Puel sat on the sidelines and was not anxious about the team not getting into shape.It doesn't matter if you don't score the ball, as long as you don't lose the ball.So if you haven't entered the state yet, then defend first, as long as you don't allow the opponent to score.

For this game, he was fully prepared. Chen Yingxiong's header was very powerful, and he had heard it for a long time.For this reason, he let Cris (Cris) partner with Baumsong (Jean-Alain_Boumsong) as the starting central defender. One of the characteristics of these two central defenders is that they have good headers.

Among them, Chris has a slightly better header, and other aspects of defensive ability are also very comprehensive, while Baumsong's air defense ability is particularly outstanding, because he has a height of 1.9 meters zero, which is a natural advantage. He is the tallest in the Lyon team and Chen Yingxiong. The players approached.

These two defenders, coupled with Lyon's defensive system, should help them contain Chen Yingxiong's goal.

※ ※ ※

Lyon seems to be slow, which is good news for Naples. They will not watch the show by the side, waiting for Lyon to get back to the state, and the two sides will have a big fight-that is stupid.

The Neapolitans were never gentlemen, they were cunning liars, scheming, and not ashamed but proud.Reflected in football is...

While you are sick, I will kill you!
This is the wisdom of a team like Naples.
