Chapter 265: Backwardness

The celebration was held, but it was not the end of the season for Juventus, who will play Napoli in the final of the Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on the evening of May 20. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Juventus have come to this point, Juventus have to win this trophy no matter what, and Napoli have not won any trophy since Maradona, and the level of expectation for this trophy is more enthusiastic than Juventus.

However, Mazzari seems to have come to an end in Napoli this season, and Napoli have been out of the Champions League this season and have failed to qualify for the Champions League again in the league, which undoubtedly makes Delarentis very unhappy.

Now this Coppa Italia can be said to be a lifesaver for Mazzari, and if he fails, his departure is almost certain.

After the celebration banquet, Juventus only rested for one day and put in intense preparations, to be honest, everyone seems to have not gotten rid of the joy of the championship, which is also something that cannot be helped, and the situation of Inter Milan is not also related to the slackness of the players themselves after the treble.

Conte never dared to relax, repeatedly poured cold water on everyone on the training ground, and the tone of preparation for the game in the past few days seems to be higher and more demanding.

As a result, the players privately feel that Coach Conte is relying more and more on building up his higher prestige after winning the league championship.

"Did you say the coach went crazy?!" Matri teased Conte with a grin.

"I don't think he's crazy, it's you who is crazy! You still dare to criticize him, be careful that he lets you wear the cold bench!" Zhang Yuan also replied to Matri with a smile, he was not uncomfortable with Conte's strictness, but Zhang Yuan did not pay attention to the Italian Cup now.

In his opinion, Napoli is not afraid, Juventus is not yet formed when away this season, but it still broke the curse of Juventus to lose when it went to Sao Paulo Stadium in the past two years, and returned to his home stadium, Juventus's style of play is becoming more and more mature, and Napoli is beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, so Zhang Yuan does not value Napoli.

This mentality is not unique to him, and many people in the team think that they can beat Napoli with their quality.

On the evening of May 20, the match between Juventus and Napoli took place as scheduled, and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was clearly distinguished, with black and white on one side and sky blue on the other, which was the effect created by the fans of both teams.

The two teams are now in good hands, Mazzarri is familiar with Conte, and Conte is also not too much to accept, and as a coach, they have made the best preparations.

The starting line-up for Juventus were:

Goalkeeper: Storari

Defender: Barzagli Bonucci Cáceres

Midfielders: Lichtsteiner, Bidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Estigarivia

Forward: Piero Zhang Yuan

Storari's starting is a reward, in fact, Storari's strength is undoubted, but he is also willing to go to Juventus to play as a substitute, anyone knows very well that whoever goes to Juventus at this stage is to Buffon as a substitute, but the advantage of transferring to Juventus is that this is a giant, not only a glorious scene of his career, but also has the honor of winning the championship at the end of his career.

Piero is a serious farewell game, in the last round of the league, Conte arranged for him to say goodbye to the Serie A game, and today he was arranged to start again.

Needless to say, the other striker must be Zhang Yuan!

The starting line-up for Napoli is:

Goalkeeper: De Sanctis

Defender: Campagnaro Jr. Cannavaro Aronica

Midfielders: Marjozema, Iliin, Leham, Sik, Zuniga

Forward: Ravic Cavani

There have been no changes to their line-up, the only one being the suspension of the titan Gargano and the replacement of Mazari with Zemaeli.

Piero had told Zhang Yuan in training a few days ago that he hoped to win the trophy and end the season perfectly, and Zhang Yuan told him at that time to rest assured, you will definitely be able to achieve your wish.

But Napoli are definitely going to be the opposite, and their captain Cannavaro Jr. said in an interview: "Italian football should be grateful to Piero, but we don't want him to celebrate his last victory at Juventus!"

It's a pity that today he is not Piero but Zhang Yuan, Cannavaro Jr. has strength but is far worse than his brother, he does a good job of marking people, but sometimes he feels a little frizzy.

Napoli's backline itself is not that very strong, conceding 46 goals in the league this season, more than twice as many as Juventus, you can hardly say that he is good at such a defense, which is why Zhang Yuan is not very worried about Napoli.

However, Conte is not as optimistic as his players, Napoli play 352 is obviously a tactic with an attacking tendency, the attacking ability is very strong, Cavani is physically strong, excellent ability to grab points, Ravic is a fast, good breakthrough player, of course, you can't ignore their other advantages, such as Cavani's ability to actually play alone, and Ravic was also one of Napoli's main scoring points before Cavani arrived.

At the beginning of today's game, Napoli pressed Juventus violently, today they adopted a high pressing tactic, and the main goal of their siege has changed, not to force Pirlo to play the ball quickly, but to concentrate on forcing Juventus' back line to play the ball as soon as possible.

This move made Juventus a little uncomfortable at the beginning, after all, Napoli was a hanging character in the second half of the last game.

This situation also led to a bit of danger in front of the goal, but Napoli could not really get the goal.

Conte is very anxious on the sidelines, this is not good, he keeps greeting his disciples on the sidelines, paying attention to concentration, according to his idea Napoli attack for so many minutes, it is unlikely that he will continue to play like this if he doesn't see the effect, this kind of kick is very physically demanding, and he will not play in the second half? !

The idea was good, but the reality was cruel, and Juventus suffered a blow in the 13th minute of the first half, when Ravic broke away from Cáceres and crossed in front of goal, and Cavani scrambled to break the deadlock for Napoli.

Napoli led 1-0, Mazzari happily hugged the assistant coach next to him, he was not at all what Conte guessed today, he will not let his team think about the distribution of physical fitness, what is the situation of joking?! What he needs now is for Napoli to maximize their attacking strengths and win this game.

The reason why he didn't choose to play with Juventus in the midfield is that first, Napoli has no Gargano, Gargano is very short, but the defensive ability is still quite outstanding, Zemaeli is inferior to a defensive midfielder like Gargano, and secondly, the last game has given him a profound lesson, and it is not a good choice to play against Juventus in the midfield, giving up some of his attacking characteristics.

That's why he told the players before the game today that what he didn't say today was to attack them and kick them to death!

If you want to say that Juventus at the end of the season, it was in good form at that time, and Napoli's attack may not be able to open the door for Buffon, but today Juventus's players do not seem to be in very good shape, and there are more passing errors.

This makes Mazari the right medicine!

Zhang Yuan can't get the ball at all at the front, and he does nothing, which is the bad thing about him being on the court with Piero, Piero's habitual way of playing is to hold the ball, which happens to be what Zhang Yuan is good at, but now he can only play center.

Conte looked annoyed, Juventus' form today is really not good, he can see clearly, possession requires good passing to support, but today Juventus's pass success rate is far below the season average, which is the main thing.

Conte thought about the countermeasures, and now he needs to make some changes, so he changed his strategy, since the overall state is not very good, so Conte sacrificed a traditional center forward style of play, the back of the foot to be fast, try to play directly behind the Napoli backline, or let the center forward Zhang Yuan to fight for the top.
