Chapter 368 Mazari's Tactics
Lyon was slow to heat up and did not do enough pressing in the frontcourt. This made Hamsik, who retreated into a midfielder, feel very relaxed, and he could calmly organize from behind.Then when the football enters the opponent's half, it suddenly accelerates, looking for a fatal blow.

The two wingers, Maggio and Sanchez, will be the key to this game.

After the game started, the commentators also noticed the changes in Naples.

"Ah...Mazari did not use his 433 formation in this game, but used the 343 formation of Naples last season. This is a bit surprising-because at the end of last season, he once said that the team was under He won't insist on using 343 this season, we all thought he didn't like this formation. Who would have thought..."

343 will always make people feel that there are a lot of holes in the defense and it is not safe at all.Although Naples' defense is indeed very average and there are many problems, but 343 has another role that has been ignored by everyone.That is a super-powerful offense, especially the one from the wing, it is like a rising tide in the sea, one wave after another, a steady stream.

Because 343 canceled the two full-backs and added two full-backs, the positions between the wingers and the full-backs are closer, and they can better form a close connection to launch an offensive.Unlike 433, the distance between the winger and the full-back is too large. It takes more time for the full-back to rush up, and consumes more energy, which naturally increases the risk.Once they go up, what if they can't go back?
There are only two central defenders behind.

Now, with three centre-backs, they can be spread out, while the holding midfielders drop back, four defensive players, the center and the wings are all taken care of.The defensive pressure on the wingers is not so great, they can put more energy into the attack.

When defending, the two full-backs retreated to become full-backs, the two forwards retreated to become full-backs, and the formation became 541.

In fact, the defensive problem is not as big as everyone thinks.

It's just that this tactic has high requirements for the players' running ability and high requirements for defensive awareness.

In the game against Lyon, Mazari played 343 and planned to catch Lyon by surprise.

They were caught off guard!

"Hamsik controlled the ball, Lyon players didn't come up to defend him, he could calmly control the ball and turn around, then look up...he passed the ball!"

The ball was passed by Hamsik to his midfielder partner De Jong, and the Dutchman dribbled forward, but was soon met by Lyon's defense.Facing the opponent's defense, De Jong did not stick to the ball, giving the opponent a chance to entangle him, but directly passed the football with one kick.

This time his pass was aimed at Sanchez.

After Sanchez received the ball from the wing, he displayed his dribbling skills and rushed forward along the wing.

In the last league game against Siena, he started the game and played 10 minutes for the first time, which played the most important role in his recovery.

He is now full of confidence, dares to dribble the ball, and is not afraid to make physical contact or confrontation with defensive players.

Lyon's midfielder Cesar_Delgado came up to defend, but as an offensive player, his defense was just a show, or a foul.

Sanchez dexterously pushed the football away, while twisting his body to avoid Delgado's body rushing up, breaking through Delgado's defense very beautifully!
There was a burst of cheers from the Naples fans in the stands.

One of the ways to reflect the home court advantage is that when a player in your team performs well, you must give your own applause and cheers without hesitation. While encouraging your own players, it also creates psychological pressure on the opponent's players.

Of course, not all home team players can get their unreserved support...

After Sanchez swayed Delgado, he did not continue to sprint with the ball, because not far in front, it was Lyon's right back Anthony_Réveillère, who got his position stuck, and Sanchez wanted to force a breakthrough I am afraid there is only one dead end.

So he just got out of the way of Delgado's defense and passed the football to Cassano who came up to meet him.

Cassano is passing the football to Chen Yingxiong who is diagonally ahead.

When the football flew towards Chen Yingxiong, harsh boos sounded in the North Stand occupied by extreme fans...

Chen Yingxiong received the ball with his back to the attacking direction. Instead of turning around directly, he sent the football directly to the left.With a diagonal pass, the football flew into the space behind Lyon's defense.

At the same time, Sanchez also rushed past Levier!

"He caught the ball!"

The previous boos stopped and turned into cheers - this group of extreme Naples fans really didn't get tired, the boos and cheers switched so quickly, without any mistakes... Really admirable!
At the same time as Chen Yingxiong passed the ball, Arshavin had already rushed into the penalty area. He inserted diagonally, did not stay in front of the goal, and rushed directly to the front point.

And what about Chen Yingxiong?After passing the ball, he turned around and ran into the penalty area. He also ran a diagonal line, but he ran backwards, which happened to cross Arshavin's running position.

The running positions of the two have been practiced repeatedly in training, so there is no hesitation. Their goal is to open the Lyon defender in the middle of the penalty area and empty it.To create opportunities for your teammates...

Who is it creating opportunities for?

After Cassano passed the football to Chen Yingxiong, he moved to the center, but he did not go in immediately, but paused outside the penalty area to avoid becoming the most eye-catching target.After both Arshavin and Chen Yingxiong entered the penalty area, a huge hole was ripped out of the defense in front of him.

At the same time, Sanchez, who received the ball from Chen Yingxiong, also successfully broke through. He looked up, and then made a pass when Revier returned to intercept him!
The football was neither given to Arshavin at the front point, nor to Chen Yingxiong who was waiting to outflank the point at the back point, but drew an arc and only fell into the middle of the goal!

Cassano rushed in at the moment Sanchez passed the ball. He rushed to the predetermined place with the football, and then without hesitation, he raised his foot and shot!

"Antonio--"

Cassano's toe hit the football, and the football changed its line and shot towards the goal!

Because the distance was too close, and Cassano's stab shot was very sudden, even if the goalkeeper Lloris responded, it was still half a beat late!

"—Cassano!!! Cassano!!! Napoli took the lead in the opening twelve minutes! They had a fantastic start!"

The volcano named Sao Paulo erupted, all the Naples fans stood up from their seats, they raised their arms high, and for a while, the entire stadium was nothing but blue.They chanted: "Forza_Napoli!!!"

The cheers went straight to the sky!

Off the court, Mazari raised his arms and waved vigorously. He was not only happy for the team's lead, but also happy for his tactical strategy to work.

This goal is the result of him allowing all three forwards to enter the penalty area. If it is still the same as before, there is only one Chen Yingxiong in the penalty area, and Cassano and Arshavin are more active on the side, then no matter what There are such goals.Because Chen Yingxiong had to fight hand-to-hand with the opponent's central defender in front of the goal.Although Chen Yingxiong is not afraid of such hand-to-hand combat, there are better ways to score, who would choose such a stupid way to attack?

"Napoli took a one-goal lead! They have taken a solid step in their home court to compete in the European war!"

"Beautiful! Beautiful offensive coordination! Starting from Hamsik's pass, De Jong, Sanchez, Cassano, and Hero have all received the ball. Although Arshavin did not receive the ball, his diagonal running is quite important. Important! He attracted the attention of Lyon's defenders... Coupled with Chen Yingxiong's diagonal running in reverse, Lyon's goal was instantly empty! What a wonderful team goal!"

This is indeed a wonderful team goal. Every Naples player involved in the attack flocked to one place for the first time and hugged each other.

First, Chen Yingxiong intercepted and killed Cassano who wanted to go to the corner flag to celebrate his goal, and hugged him down.Then Arshavin rushed up and hugged the two of them, and then like a magnet, Sanchez, Hamsik, Inle, Marjorie...these people rushed up and surrounded them layer by layer.

They celebrated like this around Lyon's penalty area, and the frustrated Lyon players became their best background.

"Napoli are in full swing at their home ground—"

The commentator was right. No matter what opponents Naples encounters at home, they always have an aura of fearlessness.Because they know that the fans in this stadium will support them no matter what and cause trouble for their opponents, which will give them endless confidence.

Therefore, Naples has performed quite well at home.Last season, they defeated strong teams such as Juventus, Roma, AC Milan and Inter Milan at their home courts. They won all four home games.

Such a terrifying atmosphere at home has brought trouble to many visiting teams.This is Lyon's first game at the San Paolo.Before they came, they didn't know what the San Paolo Stadium looked like. They might think it was no different from other away games. No matter how scary this place is, can it be as famous as the San Siro Stadium?

Now they know how wrong they were!
This place is much more terrifying than San Siro Meazza!
Every fan wearing a sky-blue Naples jersey seems to never know how tired they are, and their voices don't need to rest. They can always stimulate the nerves of Lyon players in different ways.It’s fine if Lyon’s players perform poorly. As long as a player performs well, he will be greeted with ruthless and harsh boos, overwhelming, giving people the feeling of being “ambushed by enemies on all sides”.

Fighting in such an environment really made them very uncomfortable.

Quite a few people simply cannot perform at their normal level.

But to Chen Yingxiong, these boos were no different from the sound of the waves in the Bay of Naples—he was completely used to such long boos.

After a season of booing by the Naples fans, for Chen Yingxiong, there is no "hell stadium" or "devil's home stadium" in this world.
