Mister Legend

Chapter 277 No accident
But the Turin coach here really doesn't have any good solutions. If it's just a difference in strength, it's really nothing.Even though Naples has shown the ability to challenge Juventus, the overlord of Serie A, the Red Bulls this season are also very good under the guidance of Li Moody. Fight hard, but there is a problem with the player's mentality at this time, which is not something the head coach can easily solve.

Although the two games that ended yesterday were definitely great news for the Turin team, they also weakened the players' fighting spirit to a certain extent.After Fiorentina's victory and AC Milan's draw, the points of the two teams have reached 59 points. Even if Li Moody's team loses today, they still have 67 points. There are still six points left to fight for in the league Under the circumstances, the top six places have been secured, that is, the tickets to participate in the Europa League next season will be firmly obtained. The difference is to directly participate in the group stage or play a round of play-offs.

After several months of tense nerves, it is natural for the whole team, whose long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled, to feel suddenly relaxed. After the results of those two games, I felt a lot easier, and it was difficult to return to the mentality of trying my best before.But the mental relaxation of the players means that they cannot enter the game state [-]%. Even Belotti, who wanted to break the Serie A single-season scoring record before, has slowed down on the field, let alone others. How much fighting spirit can be left.

In this state against the White Dolphins who vowed to get three points, it would be hell if they were not suppressed, so the Torino coach really had no other way at this time, he could only continue to encourage his players on the sidelines Let's get excited as soon as possible, hoping to alleviate the current extremely passive situation.However, it has not received much effect. The players of the home team are still in a state of lack of effort, or poor concentration. In the eyes of Naples, they are like a piece of meat on a chopping board, which can be cut and fried at will. .

But I have to say that even in such a situation, the players of the visiting team who were affected by impatience failed to seize the opportunity to rewrite the score. Perhaps one of the important reasons for their failure to hit the championship this season is that they have not really transformed into a team to the old lady. That way the top giants won't miss any chance easily.

No.20 In the second minute, Insigne and Mertens changed positions and received a pass from Hamsik in the middle and chose to fight towards the goal. In the end, he failed to find the kicker under the double-team of two defensive players. chance, the ball was cleanly cut off by Ranocchia.Callejon, who had already run out of space on the right, expressed some dissatisfaction with his teammates for not being able to wait for the opportunity to pass the ball. Fortunately, the two sides reconciled after exchanging a few words, and there was no internal strife.

No. In the 206th minute, the Turin team launched a rare offensive. Zampacosta suddenly advanced. Naxi completed a two-for-one cooperation and sent a high-arc cross before breaking to the bottom line.Belotti accurately judged the landing point, and volleyed with his right foot directly from the rear point of the penalty area. Unfortunately, it hit the Naples central defender Albiol who rushed to block.The ball changed direction, and the speed decreased greatly. Reina hugged him firmly in front of the goal. The home team's first shot on target also returned in vain.

Five minutes later, the visiting team also made a strong response. They launched an offensive from the backcourt, and the ball was passed to Hamsik in the frontcourt after as many as seven feet.He and Mertens completed a quick two-pass N connection, and then dribbled into the penalty area after receiving a cross-knock from the Belgian striker. Facing Rossettini's interception, he quickly scored the ball to the left outside the small penalty area. Insigne, the latter did not stop the ball and directly rubbed the ball with the toe of his right foot to shoot the ball behind the goal, but failed to master the footwork, and the ball was much higher than the crossbar.

Although they failed to score a goal, the Naples players' playing style was very enjoyable and won unanimous praise from the TV commentators.The home team's defensive players who were passed by them like wooden stakes still looked listless, which disappointed the Torino supporters.

At this time, how much Li Moody hopes that football games can be like basketball or ice hockey, with unlimited substitutions, so he can replace many absent-minded players on the field in one go.It's a pity that this is impossible, so he has to continue to watch his poor performance, but there is nothing he can do.

Fortunately, Sarri's team is not always able to play a smooth and smooth offensive. In most cases, it still takes a lot of energy to find loopholes against the home team's iron barrel formation. In addition, Ranocchia and Russ Di Thanks to the efforts of a few Turin players such as Yara, the score has never been rewritten.When the referee blew the whistle for the intermission, Naples, which had 60% ball possession rate and 7-2-4 lead in 1-for-0, could only look forward to the second half with a 0-[-] result. breakthrough.

In the locker room, Li Moody rarely criticized a number of players who performed poorly, accusing their performance in the previous 45 minutes that did not meet the quality that a professional player should have.But he did not directly replace anyone, but put pressure on them. If they cannot adjust in time, no matter who and how many people there are, they will lose the qualification to play in the remaining games of this season, that is, they will be frozen for at least two years. A league game, hoping to force them out of their normal state.

This trick seems to have had a certain effect. The Turin players, who have slightly improved their momentum and mentality, did improve in the first 15 minutes of the second half, and once formed a balance with their opponents on the scene.However, the shooting boots of the frontcourt players seemed to have been thrown into the locker room. Whether it was Boye's strong shot after a cut or Belotti's push shot, they all failed to hit the visiting team's goal. And this also consumed the morale that the home team had accumulated with great difficulty, until they were kicked off the cliff by the opponent, and it was beyond redemption.

In the 8th minute, Insigne made a breakthrough from the left and made a pass, which was blocked by Zampacosta. Gulam took a corner kick and went straight to the middle of the home team's penalty area. Hamsik, who is 1.8 meters tall, overwhelmed him and was shorter than him. Baselli, who is one centimeter tall, leaped high and headed the goal.It's a pity that the captain of Naples, whose header ability is as high as 15, failed to get the right part this time. The ball missed the right post, and the visiting team missed the goal again.

However, they soon got the reassurance they had been coveting for a long time. One minute later, Benassi's pass made a mistake due to interference, and was cut off by the right defender Shisay who suddenly inserted in front of Boyer who was waiting to receive the ball. , Naples immediately launched a quick counterattack.On the right side of the front court, Alan sent a direct pass to find Mertens in front of him. The Belgian international successfully countered offside and dribbled the ball to a position one step inside the penalty area, attracting the attention of three Torino defenders and then suddenly sent a goal The wonderful horizontal knock made Insigne, who followed up at high speed on the left, receive the ball near the penalty spot, and there was no one within three meters to defend him.

I saw him not stopping the ball and directly kicking up the near corner. Due to the sudden incident, Joe Hart did not react at all, and the ball accurately entered the net in the bottom corner. 0 to 1, Naples finally won After an hour into the race, he took the lead.

This goal not only severely hit the mentality of the Turin players who had just improved, but also resolved the anxiety caused by the inability to score the goal of the visiting team before, allowing them to completely relax their nervous nerves and gradually return to their normal state.After that, the White Dolphins finally regained the super firepower of the entire Serie A, turning this game into their offensive show, and beat the home team in the half.

After seeing the score being rewritten, Li Mudi once wanted to replace Boyer, who was active in running and made great contributions to the defense, with Falk, who had excellent offensive ability, but before he could make a final decision, Naples used an extremely The threat of offensive dispelled the idea of ​​weakening the defense.

No.60 In the second minute, the visiting team launched another attack from the backcourt. After passing the ball more than ten times in a row, it came to the right side of the frontcourt.Mertens received a cross from Callejón at the top of the arc outside the penalty area. With a light touch of the ball, he swayed Las Diarra, who was coming up to press, and volleyed vigorously with his right foot. Joe Hart saves sideways.Callejon was pinched by Boyer and Bareca before passing the ball, but he still sent a sharp pass. If Farke, who is strong in attack and weak in defense, is replaced, the wing of the Turin team is likely to lose Was completely blown away.

However, in the case of being fully passively beaten, the physical energy consumption of the players is extremely high. For example, Boyer and Benassi, the two members with relatively the largest active area, FM shows that the physical condition of both of them has almost dropped below 60%. Even if you bring it on the field, you will not be able to display above-average strength.Since Akuwa was sent off in the last round of the Turin Derby and this round is suspended, there are no special defensive players to replace in the midfield. In order to restrain the opponent's already crazy offensive, Li Moody decided to change Formation, see if you can find a sneak attack opportunity in the case of a solid defense.

No.604 minutes, the Turin team replaced two players together, Falk and Vallejo played, replacing Boyer and Benassi.The player's position changed from 4-2-3-1 at the beginning of the game to 3-4-2-1. Bareca and Zampacosta mentioned the position of wing back, and the retreat made five defenses in the back line. A player who can act as a full-back with a little prerequisite.Belotti, whose feet are not smooth, also acts as a bridgehead more in the frontcourt, allowing the two Spanish wingers ambushing on both sides of him to get the opportunity to take advantage of their speed.

However, Sarri, the best head coach in Italy today, is naturally prepared for this tactical play. He indicated that the team's defense line is no longer pressed too high as before, and the home team's wingers will not be left behind. Too much sprint space.Then, in order to replace the offensive tactics deployed in the backcourt before the game, he replaced the Brazilian midfielder Alan with the Polish international Zelinski with excellent passing ability, and handed over the responsibility of organizing the offense to the midfielders.With Hamsik and Zelinski mobilized in the middle, the tactics of the frontcourt trident attacking in turn immediately showed great power, and the red bull was almost as if he had lost his helmet and armor, and he had no power to fight back.

No. In the 701st minute, the visiting team launched a counterattack after stealing the ball from midfield. Mertens and Insigne played an exquisite cooperation.The Belgian striker dribbled the ball into the penalty area from the left. Facing Rossettini's block, the instep of his right foot swung to the outside, and then shot a short shot with his right foot in a very coherent movement.Joe Hart seemed to be distracted, and his reaction was very slow. When he made a save, the ball had hit the net behind him hard. 0 to 2, this goal basically declared that the Turin team's illusion of getting a point was shattered.

No matter how bad the teammate's defense was before being scored by the opponent from the near corner, the goalkeeper's responsibility cannot be shirked.Although he doesn't like Joe Hart's neuroticism and the superb aura of being attacked into the world wave, Li Moody still feels extremely sorry for his rapid decline in status. At the same time, he really feels that the future of the England national team is still very gloomy. If there is no reliable goalkeeper in charge, their history of failing to achieve anything in the competition for more than 50 years may continue.

No. 705 minutes, Naples made a comeback, Hamsik and Zelinski's continuous passing of the ball on the right attracted all the attention of the Turin players, and then the Slovakian star made a beautiful wide-range transfer. The inserted Gulam formed a situation of Yimapingchuan.His low pass from the left caused great confusion in front of the home team's goal. Mertens, who was outflanking the center, was squeezed and interfered by Ranocchia and missed the ball, but the shot was hurt. Joe Hart lost his center of gravity with a knee-jerk save reaction.At the end, Callejon shoveled the ball into the empty goal steadily, and the score was rewritten to 0 to 3.

Conceding two goals in a row within 4 minutes, the Turin coach was completely speechless. The morale of the players plummeted, and it seemed that they almost raised their hands and surrendered.Although I really wanted to yell at them, the game was not over yet. Judging from the current situation, in the remaining ten minutes or so, I am afraid that the ball will still be conceded.A 0-3 loss at home is already ugly enough. If it loses more, I am afraid that even if the club's executives and fans don't say anything after qualifying for the European competition next season, Li Moody will be embarrassed to continue coaching.

Substitution!Central midfielder Fabas came on to replace Jese, who had been unable to run, and the two wing backs retreated to both sides of the defense line. The home team's formation changed into a weird 5-3-2 again.This is a very ugly bus tactic, but the effect is still good. The visiting team failed to find a good chance to score after that, and the Turin side also took advantage of the number of players in the backcourt to get a lot of possession time. The game was fixed at 0 to 3, and the biggest fiasco of the Red Bulls this season came just like that.
