Tyrant of green giants, signed Guardiola at the beginning

Leeds United beat Tottenham.

Manchester United stopped their winning streak this round and were tied with Stoke City away from home.

The gap at the top of the list became 1 point.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool all won this round.

The changing landscape of the times has made the survival space for the mid- and lower-tier teams in the Premier League even more difficult.

Even though there is always no shortage of upsets, it is more difficult than in the past to achieve a huge change of fortune in the league position.

Leeds United faced the challenge of Naples at home in midweek.

This club, which Maradona once played for and was brilliant, and is still regarded as a god by the club, has experienced a journey of nirvana and rebirth in Serie A.

It took several years to step back from the lower leagues to Serie A and qualify for the Champions League. Standing on the dream stage of the Champions League, Naples has received a lot of praise and support from all over the world.

White Temple.

Shen Hao looked at Naples, led by Mazzarri, thriving and heroic.

Cavani and Lavezzi on the front line have already become famous.

Midfielders Hamsik, Inler and Gargano are all strong players.

The back line composed of Zuniga, Dosena, Cannavaro Jr., Aronica and Campanaro is not unknown.

Goalkeeper De Sanctis is very good.

Naples has the strength, but compared with Leeds United, it is not yet at the level where Shen Hao can take advantage of it.

When the game started, a scene that surprised Shen Hao appeared before him.

Naples plays a 352 technical and tactical system.

Of course, according to pre-match opponent research, Shen Hao knows that Naples uses a system that switches between 352 and 343 in Serie A.

But when it comes to the Champions League.

Shen Hao predicts that Mazzarri will not use a 3-back system.

But his prediction was wrong.

If you think about it carefully, he used himself to save others.

Looking at the past ten years of the Champions League, there are almost no players who can use the 3-back system to reach the finals, even the semi-finals.

Therefore, Shen Hao believes that a wise coach will not use a system that has no predecessors to prove its success in the current era.

But take ten thousand steps back.

As long as Naples has a clear positioning of itself, it will not have any unrealistic ideas about the championship.

Then there is no problem for them to stick to the three-back system in the Champions League.

This will be of great help to them to consolidate and strengthen in the league and implement the three-back system.

Because in the Champions League, you can find problems and improve yourself through high-level duels, while in the league, apart from the physical test of multi-line combat, it does not have a direct impact on the league situation.

Leeds United also rarely play opponents with a three-back system.

Therefore, Leeds United played steadily after the opening, but the tentative stage was not effective.

The Serie A team itself is good at defense. Mazzarri is an anomaly, but he may not forget his ancestors and completely lose the heirloom skills of defense.

Moreover, this is the Champions League facing the European hegemon. If it is true, it will be a full-blooded attack against Leeds United.

That is not praiseworthy for courage, but foolishness.

Most of the time Napoli's formation will switch to 532 or 442.

When defending, the wingbacks return to the bottom line unilaterally or bilaterally. If they return to the bottom line unilaterally, the wingbacks on the other side will fill in the midfield, giving the central players more flexible defensive adjustment space.

Overall the system is very complete.

Leeds United's simple reliance on rushing, pressing, and attacking does not necessarily have good results.

So they will be more patient in organizing their offensive.

Naples fans saw the two teams playing neck-and-neck in the first 20 minutes.

Although Naples' counterattacks and fast breaks failed to pose a threat, Leeds United also did not create a threatening shot.

This gave them more confidence.

Being able to compete with Leeds United in the away game means that Naples definitely has the strength to advance!

Naples' offense mainly relies on the two wing-backs Zuniga and Dossena to seize the opportunity to intervene on the wing. Hamsik organizes the series in the middle, and Lavezzi and Cavani flexibly cooperate on the front line.

Leeds United's wing defense was flawless, Kyle Walker controlled Dossena, and Baines could keep up with Zuniga.

Kanter can also contain Hamsik's organizational threat in the midfield.

As a result, it is actually difficult for Lavezzi and Cavani to exert their full strength.

Through a period of offensive and defensive discussions with Naples, Leeds United roughly understood the opponent's strength and offensive and defensive operation system.

Then they started blasting!

Dossena once played for Liverpool, but ended in failure and returned to Italy sadly.

The role of the wing-back is that he does not stay in the full-back position for a long time, but flexibly switches roles between full-back and full-back, and occasionally plays a winger.

So as long as there is space behind Dossena, Gareth Bale will move forward or dribble.

When Dossena chased back, Aronica, Cannavaro Jr., and Campanaro already had to deal with the threat of Gareth Bale rushing from the outside to the inside.

Suarez connects in the middle, and Kaka breaks in. Leeds United's offensive threat will test the Naples defense's overall zone defense adjustment and blocking and stealing capabilities.

Two successive waves of threats were stifled by Naples by quickly shrinking to block Gareth Bale's cross and the space line connecting with Kaká.

The Napoli defense is getting more and more confident.

Mazzarri also believes that his team can contain Leeds United's offensive threats through quick zone defense adjustments.

However, in the 36th minute of the game, Gareth Bale responded to Kaka's diagonal pass from the center. He quickly cut inside from the outside. As soon as he entered the penalty area, the Naples defense quickly tilted towards him again to encircle and suppress him.

However, Gareth Bale decisively passed the ball back outside the penalty area after stopping the ball.

Everyone's eyes turned, and they saw Modric taking the initiative to respond, stopping the ball near the right wing and then passing the ball.

The football drew a pleasing arc and fell to the left side of the penalty area.

The Naples defense immediately took action, but the ball was flying in the sky and people were running on the ground.

In terms of speed, the ball is still faster.

Aronika saw Royce cutting inside and outflanking him and could only pursue him.

Cannavaro Jr. quickly rushed towards Royce's shot and cross to block it.

But before the football hit the ground, Royce padded the ball with the arch of his left foot toward the penalty spot in the penalty area and passed it back in an inverted triangle.

The Leeds United team cooperated with the long and short combinations and almost exhausted Naples' defensive strength.

Gargano and Inler failed to catch Kaka in a crucial step. After all, Leeds United's offense shifted back and forth.

It was too late for Cannavaro to stop and adjust his direction to block Kaka.

Campanaro moved towards the center and was beyond his reach.

Kaka adjusted his pace without stopping the ball and blasted the ball passed by Royce towards the lower right corner of the goal!

De Sanctis made a save on the spot but failed!

The white-clad temple burst into cheers.
