Chapter 666 394 Shots with a Huge Disparity

The fans at the Bentegodi Stadium were disappointed and booed Messi who was celebrating. They had never thought that their team's defense could be penetrated so easily? !

Chievo's chairman Luca Campedelli was so angry that he cursed. He had never been very fond of Hugo, but compared with Hugo, this chairman was like a good boy and a bad boy. When Campedelli took over Chievo in 1992, he was only 23 years old. When he led Chievo to the Serie A, he was only 33 years old. At that time, he was the youngest owner and chairman of the Serie A club. Unfortunately, it didn't take long before the perverted Hugo came, who was younger than him.

Campedelli has always had a good reputation in the media or football circles. He has long used honorifics to the bigwigs in the football world, but Hugo would not do that. It is common for him to publicly insult his old comrade.

Because Hugo is younger and has achieved greater success, Campedelli never uses honorifics to Hugo. He will never deal with Hugo if he can avoid it.

However, when it comes to the talent of running a club, Campedelli still has some skills. Chievo has never been a team that spends a lot. Campedelli can even make money, relying on good management, buying at low prices and selling at high prices.

Campedelli's achievements of small investment and high output have amazed many experts, and they have explored his secrets. Campedelli explained it this way: "The Italian dessert market is saturated, and we still need to expand abroad, but whether it is business management or football, I will not take a step longer than my legs. The real secret of Chievo? That is the 'right economic decision'. We dig out those immature players from small clubs, spend a little money to buy them, and then continue to increase their value. When their fame reaches a certain level, teams like Inter Milan and Roma will naturally compete to buy them."

Yes, he is almost doing business with these two companies. Chievo has not produced any real superstars at all. Juventus and Milan are two giants who have won championships and have almost never bought Chievo players.

So when Campedelli said this, Hugo mocked Chievo for being like this, what kind of a hotbed for cultivating players? ! But that's all. Looking back on their history, where are the people who can stand on the stage? !

Because of this, Campedelli hoped that his team would not lose (combined with the reality, Campedelli still set a goal for himself that was not too ambitious!), but he lost the ball so quickly, and my coffee was not even brewed yet, how could he not be angry.

Fortunately, the live broadcast camera did not switch to him. You know, Campedelli is called Prince Harry Potter, with a very good temper, and the best boss in the eyes of employees.

De Carlo finally realized that his attempt to launch a full-scale sneak attack was like handing a knife to the opponent, so he wisely told the players not to worry about losing the ball. Now everyone should not be agitated, stabilize their defense, and never be reckless.

You are right to say that Bielsa is a tactical madman, but you are wrong to say that Bielsa is a blockhead. For example, in the new season training camp, Bielsa was inspired by his disciples and began to change. What is Toni's advantage? ! It is standing at the post!

Bielsa began to use Toni's use. The deeper the opponent retreats, the more forward Toni will go. It doesn't matter if Messi and Di Maria are under pressure on the wing. They will immediately cross the ball to play in the middle.

De Carlo's team has always been exhausted. Toni is tall and stands firm. It is difficult for Chievo's defensive players to get an advantage. If they are not careful, they will be called for a foul by Farina. Don't forget that Trapani also has Beckham, a master of free kicks.

Chievo's performance in the first half was awkward. De Carlo felt that his team struggled, and Chievo's players also struggled. Trapani didn't spend too much energy. In addition to Messi's goal, Beckham's set-piece assist helped Toni score a point.

The first half ended at 2:0. Chievo's pressure on Trapani was not enough. It's not that they couldn't even play a counterattack, but they didn't catch it. Collon's several possessions were not reasonable. Pellissier seemed speechless. He didn't shoot once in the first half, and Collon fired two long-range shells. Brother, do you think Kameni, who was standing opposite, won the best goalkeeper of the year for nothing? !

After the halftime break, Chievo played more methodically in the second half. The midfield and backcourt were no longer in a hurry to send the ball to the frontcourt. The first half had proved that the faster they sent the ball, the faster the ball would reach Trapani's feet. In the second half, they slowly controlled the ball in the backcourt and were not in a hurry to pass the ball under Trapani's pressure. The rationality was much better.

In Bielsa's dictionary, there is no meaning of stopping. Trapani's fans are increasing because of their playing style. They are always trying to attack until they really have no strength to launch an attack. At the beginning of the second half, they were still full of energy, and Trapani had to seize the opportunity to continue attacking.

Although the threat has decreased a bit, the initiative is still in Trapani's hands.

Around the 70th minute of the second half, Toni's running ability began to decline. Today was indeed a great test for him. Bielsa has made a lot of improvements this season, and the role of the center forward has also begun to increase. Toni had more physical contact with his opponents. The faster this happens, the more likely it is to consume physical energy. The wingers on both wings are not incapable of running into the penalty area, but they do not have the ability to confront opponents head-on, so most of Chievo's physical contact occurred at Toni.

Toni was naturally very difficult. After a physical contact with Patrescu, Toni's waist was hit. There was no serious problem. Bielsa was cautious and replaced him and let Vucinic replace Toni.

After Bielsa came to the team, he paid great attention to the cultivation of all-rounders in the frontcourt. He felt that the advantage of this was that he could make tactical changes at any time, allowing the opponent to constantly switch defenses, causing chaos. Another advantage of this is that It allows players to accumulate more playing time and increase positional tacit understanding. Everyone can think more about their teammates around them, and their passing tacit understanding increases.

After Vucinic came on the field, he was full of energy and the intensity of the high-post press was greater. Vucinic has good foot skills, which is his advantage over Toni. His vision and imagination are also better than Toni. He often retreats into the penalty area. Receive the ball from outside, create opportunities for the wings, and even create opportunities for Kaka.

From the 75th minute to the 80th minute, in just five minutes, Vucinic came on the field to revitalize Trapani. They scored two more goals from Messi and Kaká, leading Chievo 4:0. Chievo was completely incompetent. Feeling angry, De Carlo was speechless on the sidelines. There was nothing he could do, he had tried his best!

Bielsa made a quick substitution and used up three substitutions. De Carlo also made substitution adjustments. However, they were unable to launch any powerful offensive. In the end, Chievo had to lose at home with four goals.

In the post-match interview, De Carlo no longer said that we should not be afraid of Trapani. He said: "The score on the field said something! There is a huge gap between us and Trapani. , the boys did their best! There is nothing to regret now, the league is still long, this game is not the end of us!”

De Carlo had to comfort his players. In fact, he didn’t need his comfort. Trapani didn’t have much possession of the ball in the game, only 59%, while Chievo had 40%. One, but Chievo made too many invalid passes. They only completed 4 shots in total, and none of them hit the goal frame.

Trapani shot 26 times, 13 of which were on target. Chievo goalkeeper Cicchigiano made 9 saves today, which is already very impressive.
