Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 621 Comeback
Cosmi is a veteran of Serie A. He has coached the middle and lower reaches of Serie A for a long time. He has coached many teams and is familiar with the Serie A environment. However, after he took office, he has coached three games and Lecce is still not too big. Of course, he cannot be blamed for the improvement. The main reason is that the Lecce team is too weak. On the other hand, Di Francesco owes too much debt, and the team's morale is low.

The winter break is the best news for Lecce, who is in trouble. Even if it is only a week, the players can take this opportunity to relax, let go of the bleak first half of the season, calm down and restore morale , Cosmi can also take this opportunity to work out targeted tactics and measures based on his understanding of the team some time ago.

On the afternoon of January 1, Lecce's home game against Juventus started at the Via del Mare Stadium.

Zhang Yuan returned to the starting list after the suspension of the game. Conte was a little overwhelmed in the face of the underdog Lecce, and continued to put on a 433 attacking formation.

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defender: Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Balzali, Chiellini

Midfielder: Vidal, Pirlo Marchisio
Forward: Quagliarella Zhang Yuanwu Zinic
Zhang Yuan is in the center, Quagliarella is on the right, and Vucinic is on the left. These three are forwards, and their defensive ability is not good. Conte is clearly trying to bully Lecce. Lecce.

Cosmi changed Di Francesco's formation and tactics in the past. He used 352 tactics in this game.

Goalkeeper: Benassi
Defender: Tomovic, Esposito, Odo
Midfielder: Metz Basher Obdodo Cuadrado Giacomazzi

Forward: Dimikele Muriel
Giacomazzi is the attacking midfielder and is responsible for the connection between the midfielders.

Originally speaking, Lecce is an underdog, and their stance should be lowered, but Cosmi can't do anything, why, it's not because there are too many debts in front, and now Cosmi and Lecce only have One purpose, to win, to win as much as possible.

At home, the first half of the season was horrible, but in the second half of the season, Cosmi and Lecce have to make a difference at home.

So he arranged five midfielders in this game with the intention of breaking Juventus' midfield control. At the same time, he had to wrestle with Juventus to win the midfielder and create opportunities for himself.

Di Michele is a veteran, and he is not young this year, but the Lecce store is still supported by him. Last season, the Lecce team was able to relegation. Di Michele contributed a lot. He is the team's top scorer.

Chinese fans may confuse Di Michele and Di Natale, they are different people, but they used to be comrades-in-arms in Udinese. In the 04-05 season, Udinese won the fourth place in the league. It's Di Michele, not Di Natale, who shines.

Di Michele began to go downhill after that season. Injuries were one of the important reasons, but Di Natale went higher and higher. The older he got, the more demonized he was.

Muriel, who is partnered with Di Michele, is not an easy young player. He is one year younger than Zhang Yuan and became famous much later than Zhang Yuan. However, he performed amazingly in the domestic Colombian league and did not play a few professional football games. He was spotted by European football scouts and finally came to Udinese.

There are many teams that want him, but Muriel chose Udinese, because Udinese is quite famous for its level of training people. Udinese has a scouting network and influence among those countries in South America. , word-of-mouth are quite good, so Muriel naturally chose here as the first stop in the European Union.

The Lecce team also has his fellow countryman Cuadrado, who also belongs to Udinese. It can be seen that Udinese's ability to tap talents in South American countries is quite powerful.

At the beginning of the game, Juventus's position was relatively dead, and they soon fell into the strangulation of the Lecce team. The midfield and frontcourt were seriously out of touch. The fight was intense.

Juventus is at a disadvantage instead. The Cuadrado mentioned just now is very fast and dribbles very sharply, which makes Chiellini very embarrassed. Chiellini is obviously not very comfortable with Cuadrado's style. To adapt, although Cuadrado is young, he is courageous. Facing Chiellini, who has been famous for a long time, he is not stage fright at all, and he boldly uses his own speed and extraordinary advantages.

Dimichele and Muriel did not have the advantage of height when they made several crosses to the center, but their ability to grab points against the ground ball was still good. In just a few minutes, Buffon had already made a crucial save .

Buffon seemed a little annoyed, he yelled at his teammates for trying to help defend!

Zhang Yuan could see it clearly in the frontcourt. Now he finally understands why Conte is unwilling to lose the ball easily. Juventus has a big problem defensively against that kind of strong side attackers. Except for Lichtsteiner, the defenders are all central defenders. Xiao Kuailing is a natural enemy for them, and the problem of slow turning is undoubtedly prominent.

The rhythm slowed down a bit, neither slow nor fast, but the team was not easy to catch loopholes. Today, Juventus and Lecce were at the bottom of the midfield battle as soon as they came on the field. Lecce tried to counterattack tactics on the spot. Use the speed of Cuadrado and Muriel to create trouble for Juventus.

Muriel also has a nickname called Ronaldo of Colombia. This nickname is the same as Takayuki Morimoto. Takayuki Morimoto is called Ronaldo of Japan.

Ronaldo has strong explosive power and excellent breakthroughs. If he has this title, he must have a few brushes.

Conte felt very anxious on the sidelines, originally counting on the midfielder to firmly control the situation, who would have thought that his team would be countered by the Lecce team at the bottom of the table.

After discussing with Alessio and other assistants, Conte finally changed his tactics. He asked Zhang Yuan to retreat, and the two wingers retracted. Basically, Zhang Yuan can play as a forward midfielder when needed, and the two wingers can serve as midfielders. striker to use.

This is also an advantage when Zhang Yuan was there. His position can be changed and he can take on the role of the front midfielder. Among other Juventus forwards, only Del Piero has such an effect, and no one else has this ability.

Zhang Yuan received the new instructions without any objection. He also knew that he had to retreat at this time. What should he do if he didn't retreat?

Cosmi had already expected this situation, because Conte’s team liked to play like this when using Zhang Yuan. Once the midfielder was at a disadvantage, Zhang Yuan was immediately called back, because Zhang Yuan’s ability to control the ball is relatively strong. He is a shooter with excellent passing and shooting, but header is not his strong point, which will help Juventus regain the disadvantage in midfield.

Cosmi's solution is to ask Obodo to mark Zhang Yuan. There is another candidate in the Lecce midfielder, Strasser. This is Lecce's midfielder on loan from AC Milan. He is the same age as Zhang Yuan, but The reputation and experience are much worse than that of Obodo. The advantage is that they are willing to run and cover a large area. Zhang Yuan’s retreat is limited. Cosmi would rather let Obodo match up and let the younger Strusser fill in.

In fact, Cosmi doesn't know whether this trick is effective or not, but it can only be arranged in this way on the current court.

Obodo was also a well-known young beast waist in Perugia back then, but after experiencing a brief climax, injuries dragged him down, and he became more and more unsatisfactory. He started to make great strides back from Florence. Reduced to the relegation team Lecce.

He is now in his prime but not at the competitive level of his prime. Being strong and strong, he has encountered difficulties in man-marking Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan's change of direction is also very powerful, Obodo's most actions are fouls, otherwise there is no way to prevent Zhang Yuan, he can no longer keep up with Zhang Yuan's rhythm.

Thanks to the appearance of Zhang Yuan, Juventus is now gradually daring to make some bold passes. What is bold is to dare to pass the ball to Zhang Yuan when he seems to be stared at by Zhang Yuan, and trust his handling of the ball. ability.

Zhang Yuan actually likes this kind of passing. Serie A plays very conservatively, and the defensive organization is relatively good. It may be difficult to break the balance just by controlling the ball, but bold passing methods and bold cooperation are possible. Bring positive effects, and don't need to invest too much troops, as long as there are three people, everyone can pass each other well to tear apart the opponent's defense.
