From coaching Real Madrid

452 Victory in hand

The reason why a famous marshal is a famous marshal does not lie in how smart his head is, nor in what kind of special plug-ins they have, nor does it even mean that they have any special merits.

Many times, it may just be that they can always notice more details and think of more possibilities.

It's like some students are thinking about Olympiad math problems. They obviously have knowledge points that they have learned, but they can't solve it no matter how they think about it. When the reference answers are put there, they feel enlightened and suddenly enlightened.

Feel.

The same goes for famous coaches, but they won't wait until the answer is announced before patting their thighs and regretting why they didn't think of it.

Because they will think of various possibilities before announcing their answers or even before taking the exam.

Just like Hiddink this time.

Facing Naples, he must have thought about all the possibilities in the game.

At the beginning of the attack, Chelsea created two very threatening shots and scored a goal.

But it only lasted eighteen minutes, and had to cease due to Naples' strong rebound.

Then what?

Hiddink showed the courage of a famous coach, attacking aggressively and defending very steadily.

After taking a one-goal lead, he immediately retreated across the board.

After Chelsea's 4-3-3 retreated across the board, they relied on the strength of the midfield to protect the weak points of the defense.

Starting from Mourinho, Chelsea has attached great importance to overall football, especially defense, which is Chelsea's golden signature. Almost every year when they encounter Barcelona, ​​the Blues can put up an eye-catching performance.

It can be said that defense has always been the Blues' most powerful weapon.

Nowadays, Hiddink just picks up this weapon and uses it again.

Napoli didn't take the first shot of the game until the 18th minute.

Or a long shot from midfielder Rakitic.

But after this shot, Naples began to form a counterattack against Chelsea. It changed from being passive and beaten after the opening and began to take the initiative. However, after Chelsea retreated, the defense was very meticulous.

This kind of overall tight defense makes it difficult for Naples' offense to create a threat.

Not to mention, in front of Chelsea's striker, there is a monster Drogba.

After scoring a goal, when the team retreated, Drogba was still at the front, waiting and looking for opportunities.

Speaking of which, Drogba is really in trouble now.

To talk about people's first impression of him, it should be in the first few years of Mourinho's coaching. At that time, Drogba emerged from nowhere and was invincible. At that time, his tactical role was very obvious, but his foot skills were

It's really rough, and it's not good at shooting.

So much so that the British media ridiculed Drogba, believing that he could not hit the butt of an elephant twenty feet away.

Twenty feet, six meters away.

This humiliation is comparable to Husky!

But Drogba also learned from the pain and worked hard. In addition, as he got older and his body gradually passed its peak, he slowly began to rely more on his own skills. So by around 12 years, he basically relied on skills and awareness.

Having dinner.

And now in 2009, he happens to be at a point in time where he is most versatile and has a relatively balanced body and technique.

Therefore, Drogba is really difficult to guard against now, and he is really dangerous.

Gao Shen couldn't trust Drogba, so naturally he couldn't invest more in the front attack.

In the end, the first half ended with Naples trailing 0-1.

Back in the locker room, Gao Shen praised the team's performance in the first half.

He really felt that the team had performed well enough in the first half.

As for Drogba's goal, what can be done about it?

That's African Andy Lau!

"Chelsea will definitely have another wave of attacks in the second half."

Gao Shen said very firmly.

When Hiddink retreated 18 minutes into the first half, Gao Shen guessed that Hiddink would definitely attack in the second half.

"What does this mean?"

Gao Shen looked directly at his players, his tone was very serious and his expression was very confident.

"This shows that we are right. I told you that the winner will be in the second half, closer to the end of the game. Hiddink made the same judgment as me, and he was even very worried about himself.

Can’t hold on.”

"So, one to zero is not safe for him. He has to try to score another goal."

When he said this, Gao Shen took a deep breath, "So our mission at the beginning of the second half is very clear, we still need to hold on."

According to Gao Shen's thinking, even if he concedes another goal, it won't be a big problem.

The key is to be able to score a goal in the second half and get an away goal.

One to one, or one to two, is a very good result for Naples.

With the experience of the first round, Gao Shen will plan Chelsea's tactics when he returns to the Sao Paulo Stadium.

He is confident of scoring at home.

Another point is that except for the free kick that was conceded, Naples' defensive layout against Chelsea was still very successful. Even Drogba did not get a good chance in the positional battle.

The best one was when David Luiz blocked the angle of his shot.

In addition, Drogba actually did not get a good opportunity.

This proves that the defense deployed by Naples is still very targeted.

In terms of offense in the first half, Naples' real threat was on the left.

It's interesting to say that Chelsea's focus is on Naples' left wing, with Kalou and Bosingwa specializing in this side.

But it is precisely because Kalou and Bosingwa stormed this side that their rear was relatively empty, so Napoli's counterattacks and attacks also hit Chelsea's right wing.

When Gao Shen walked off the court just now, he asked David Luiz, Thiago Motta and Bonucci, mainly asking them about Chelsea's kicking the ball from the right.

"We slightly adjusted our defensive strategy on the left in the second half. Now we don't restrict them from taking the ball from the wing, but we have to control the placement in the middle, focusing on controlling Drogba, as well as Ballack and Lampard's back-breaking."

This is the problem Gao Shen discovered after watching the opening stages of the first half.

Sometimes in order to limit Kalou and Bosingwa from playing the ball on the wing, Naples' defense was stretched too much.

The current situation is that Naples has three high points in the middle, and it is enough to defend Drogba.

Gao Shen asked three players and they all said they were very confident.

Before the game started, they had never met Drogba. Now they had played for forty-five minutes. The Napoli players knew whether they could hold on or not.

Gao Shen chose to trust the players' judgment.

More importantly, Naples must invest more in the offensive end in the second half. The wing will be the key channel for Naples' offense. Only by taking advantage of the wing can the team have a chance to score.

"Another point is that something is not right with Ashley Cole tonight. Since this season, his condition has not been very good. He is just better than Ferreira. Tonight, in order to defend Sanchez, he

Don’t dare to press forward.”

After saying that, Gao Shen looked at Lucas, who nodded and said: "Ashley Cole's left wing has almost no presence on the offensive end, and he even presses past the center line very rarely."

This supports profound observation and judgment.

"When attacking in the second half, we should give due consideration to our right wing."

At this point, the time is almost up, and everything that Gao Shen should arrange has been arranged properly.

"Everyone!" Gao Shen clapped vigorously and greeted everyone.

The Naples players also stood up and gathered in front of Gao Shen.

"This is our first Champions League knockout match, and it is also your first. I still say the same thing, you believe me, I will definitely take you out of Stamford Bridge, and we will definitely advance to the quarterfinals!"

"Chelsea is very strong, but we at Napoli are not soft persimmons. We have eliminated the super group of death, what else can't be done?" When Gao Shen spoke, his eyes scanned every player in front of him.

The game is played out one by one.

Breaking through the group of death in the group stage. For Naples, the schedule is difficult and the challenge is arduous, but after making it out, it also brings a huge boost to the team's confidence.

"I still say the same thing, don't be anxious when playing away games, the outcome is within our control."

After saying that, Gao Shen stretched out his right hand.

The players came over one after another and folded their left or right hands on Gao Shen's hand.

"Come on, Naples!"

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea launched another wave of attacks.

This is almost the obvious desire of Hiddink to score goals.

But the Blues' first wave of attacks did not go to the right, which was Naples' left, as they did in the first half. Instead, they switched Lampard to the left, allowing him to be more active on the left.

In the first three minutes, Lampard took advantage of the space created by Anelka's free run and cut inside. After receiving the ball, Lampard made a pass from the left, but David Luiz headed the ball ahead of him.

Ballack stepped in to seize the opportunity and shot a long shot from more than 20 meters away, but it went higher again.

Obviously, Hiddink also made adjustments to the situation in the first half during the halftime break. He wanted to try to open up an offensive channel on the left while maintaining offensive pressure on the right.

This was the case for the next two attacks.

But Gao Shen also noticed that Ashley Cole still could not easily press through the center line. Obviously, marking Sanchez was also a lot of pressure for him.

Until the 51st minute, the left wing failed to create an opportunity. Ballack moved the ball to the right wing. Bosingwa came in at high speed and continued to dribble the ball into the baseline and cross.

Drogba once again grabbed the opportunity to hit the target, but failed to form a good shooting angle, and the header went straight out of the baseline.

Gao Shen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This proves that the results of the "questionnaire" he conducted with David Luiz, Bonucci and Thiago Motta during the halftime break were still accurate.

All three of them can clearly control the risks of defending Drogba, and they should be stable now.

Next, we have to wait, wait for Hiddink to use all his moves, and Gao Shen will slowly use his strength.

Gao Shen's goal is to score an away goal!
