Chapter 263： crotch king

Whether Giampaolo and his Cagliari can play for the full ninety minutes, Gao Shen doesn't know, but until the sixtieth minute, they still played very firmly. stance.

I have to say, this team is really good.

From the beginning of the second half, Naples continued to press out to attack, kept putting pressure on Cagliari, and constantly consuming opponents, but Cagliari never made major mistakes and did not give Naples a good chance to score.

The score of zero to zero has not moved for an hour.

In the stands, the Naples fans were still cheering for the team and shouting.

This is Napoli's debut in Serie A after a six-year absence. It is a day full of special significance. They all hope that the team can end the game with a victory.

But unfortunately, I ran into an iron barrel formation like Cagliari.

The rabid Napoli fans knew that the players tried their best, but they still wanted to win, so they shouted desperately from the stands, until their voices were hoarse, and they were still shouting frantically.

…

Gao Shen always stood in the command area in front of the home team's coaching bench, looked up at the time, scratched his dry mouth with his left hand, sighed inwardly, turned around, walked to the home team's coaching bench, and took it from the staff. Bottle of water.

"They are very well prepared. Judging from the whole game, their physical fitness has declined to a certain extent, but if we can't put more pressure on them, I'm afraid..." Lucas frowned and shook his head.

He now has a complete set of software for analyzing the entire game, mainly through factors such as the player's running data, activity level, and accuracy rate, and then deduces the player's overall performance and physical condition.

For now, Cagliari is indeed better prepared.

Naples played two more rounds of cup matches before, while their opponents were carefully preparing for the first round of the new season. This situation is obviously different.

Gao drank the whole bottle of water in one breath, and cursed inwardly: Damn Juventus! Damn italian football federation!

Playing those two more cup games will still have a great impact on Naples, because Gao Shen does not want to give up the cup games.

Although it is a home game, Naples is really a headache when faced with a tough stubble like Cagliari.

It can be seen from many data and situations that Giampaolo really intends to stick to the whole game.

Of course, he was also certain in his heart that Naples would do everything possible.

Naples is actually not safe at all under this kind of mentality of both sides.

This is also the reason why Gao Shen has been reluctant to take risks.

To make progress while maintaining stability, you must first stabilize.

Giampaolo and Cagliari are now expected to be waiting for Gao Shen to make substitutions, preferably more aggressive.

The more aggressive, the more prone to mistakes, the more opportunities for Cagliari to take advantage of.

After turning around to drink water, Gao Shen didn't say a word, but everyone's attention on the coaching bench was focused on him.

He's the head coach of the team, and some decisions have to be made by him.

No one can replace it!

Gao Shen thought for a while, turned his head, and glanced at the time again, it had been 63 minutes.

Can't delay any longer.

"Let Pastore go to warm up!" Gao Shen ordered.

Everyone was surprised when the coaches lined up.

The 18-year-old Argentine teenager has strength and talent, but it was quite surprising to be included in the squad when he first arrived. Everyone thought that after winning, let him play to familiarize himself with the rhythm of Serie A.

Now is the critical moment!

"Or..." Carlo felt that Parejo might be able to try.

He played well after coming off the bench in that game three days ago.

"There is no choice, one substitution must be effective, and Parejo may not be able to play an effect."

"Pastore okay?" Carlo was a little worried.

He has always been so cautious, even a little conservative.

This is the Serie A debut, and it is still such an important battle. At a critical moment, let a new kid come on the bench to change the situation?

"He can provide us that others don't have." Gao Shen said firmly.

After taking a deep look at Gao Shen, Carlo nodded heavily.

He expresses his own opinions, but he will fully support the specific decision.

…

The movements of the coaching staff were naturally hidden from the bench.

When they heard Pastore's name vaguely, everyone turned to look at the young, slightly thin Argentine teenager.

He is tall but slender.

At this moment, Pastore himself was as surprised as everyone else.

He knows the importance of this game, the tension of the current situation, and the significance of substitutions at this moment.

But he really did not expect that the head coach would change him!

"Javier, hurry up and warm up!" Carlo came over and shouted loudly.

Pastore jumped up almost like a conditioned reflex, took off his jacket in a hurry, and was about to run to the warm-up area.

"Boy!" Carlo stopped him.

Pastore stopped in front of him and looked at the assistant coach.

"He's pinning all his hopes on you, fighting for his breath, understand?"

After Pastore listened, he looked at the head coach who was standing back on the sidelines, and he nodded heavily.

…

Three minutes later, Pastore came back from the heat.

"Come here!" Gao Shen waved at him.

The Argentine teenager quickly came to Gao Shen's side, bent down, and sorted out his socks and shorts.

Gao Shen explained to him how to adjust the team's tactics after playing, and how the positions and responsibilities of other players changed.

"I know, you should be very nervous and stressed right now, but you don't need to be afraid."

Gao Shen's eyes stared at Pastore, his words were particularly clear, and he explained it with great force.

"After going up, you only have one task. Remember, you don't care about everything else, you only have one task."

When Pastore heard this, he stood up straight, looked directly at Gao Shen, and nodded vigorously.

"Play what you are best at, after you get the ball, decisively rush towards the opponent's penalty area, I don't care whether you are juggling or magic, as long as you can bring the ball to the penalty area for me and pass it, I count. You are the best!"

The biggest problem facing Naples now is that the opponent's defense line is layered on one layer, too meticulous and too many people.

In this case, whether it is passing or running, it is actually difficult to play a role.

So there must be a person who is responsible for taking the ball over, advancing it into the threat area, and passing it out.

This is what Gao Shen said before, the greatest tactical value of mid-range players such as Modric, Moussa Dembele and Kaka.

Looking at the Naples team, only Pastore can dribble the ball in the middle.

Di Maria and Sanchez should stay on the wing as much as possible to open the opponent's entire defense line, so that Pastore in the middle will have a chance to burst up, otherwise, if the opponent shrinks, it will be useless for anyone to come!

Of course, this also involves the transfer and pulling of horizontal passing and control. Gao Shen has practiced on weekdays, and in the game just now, the team has also used it, but the lack of such a burst point in the middle has no effect.

Hamsik's attacking power and passing are good in the back, and his defense is also very active, but this aspect is still weak.

Parejo is good at passing, Pastore is good at advancing, and deep buying is not a random one.

"Don't be under pressure, Javier." Gao Shen grabbed Pastore's shoulders.

This kid is actually taller than him, just too thin.

"Look, the more than 50,000 fans tonight have pinned their hopes on us, and now all our hopes of winning are pinned on you, and you just need to play the game and do what you do best. things, understand?"

Pastore nodded heavily, "Boss..."

"Speak." Gao Shen saw that he was somewhat unspeakable.

"Can you wear a crotch?" Pastore asked in trouble.

I still remember that when he first came to Naples, Gao Shen taught him a lesson. Those habits of playing football in South America should be changed, especially wearing crotch, which is very insulting and cannot be used, otherwise, he will be taught to be a man in minutes.

Therefore, Pastore is really uncertain at this moment.

"Wear it, wear it anyway, if you have the ability to wear it a few more times, I will give you a crotch king award after the game!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Shen grabbed the boy with long Argentine hair.

Nima, what time is it, still thinking about whether to wear a crotch?

As long as you can score goals, let alone wear your crotch, I will support you when you take off his pants!

Pastore immediately grinned, laughed, and nodded hastily.

"Remember, pay attention to the timing of passing the ball, pass the ball well, understand?" Gao Shen urged.

Pastore nodded heavily and walked straight to the sidelines.

Gao Shen is very clear that there is no way to ask Pastore or Parejo and others like Zidane or Guti.

Young players are not always consistent enough to allow them to make mistakes.

But right now, the situation in Naples is really tense.

This substitution is actually a bit risky.

But the game of football itself is full of adventures.

…

"Napoli took the lead with a substitution."

"Let's take a look at the information of this player, an 18-year-old teenager from Argentina's second tier, named Javier Pastore, who has never played in the top Argentine domestic league before, and has only played in the second tier. Played five times."

"I played in a warm-up match in Naples before, but we don't have his performance data."

"Now we can only roughly guess that this should be a young player with great potential."

"But we also have to wonder, what does Gao Shen want to do when he arranges Pastore to play at a critical moment like today? Or, he thinks, what other players can't do, Pastore can do it ?"

"Pastore replaced Rakitic."

"Are Naples going to adopt a single-back tactic?"

"We saw that after Pastore and Rakitic hugged, they ran into the court and kept gesturing to communicate with their teammates, obviously bringing the latest instructions and adjustments from the advanced."

"Biglia appeared in the back position, and Pastore was slightly forward. It still looked similar to Rakitic's position just now, and it looked high and stable."

"This is Napoli's first game back in Serie A after a six-year absence. It is understandable that he is cautious."

"But time is not on Naples' side."
