The rest of the players were also interested when they heard Mourinho say that. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's right, they believe what their teammates Chen Long, Gross and Rodriguez say - in fact, the most important thing is to believe what Chen Long says - they believe that this is not a result of luck, but they are also quite curious about how Chen Long and how they practiced it.

Now listening to the manager, it seems that he is about to start declassifying

So everyone stared at the projection screen with blazing eyes.

Next, a computer-simulated animation of the goal appeared on the screen.

Very rudimentary animations, but the key information is all there, and it's exactly like the real goal.

Next, combined with such animations, Mourinho began to explain to everyone frame by frame how Chen Long achieved this goal in the game.

The players' eyes changed as they listened.

Because the process of scoring this goal sounds a bit child's play, it seems a little simple, but it is very difficult to do it.

Every movement and detail is required to be perfectly and precisely controlled throughout the process.

From Rodriguez's through ball at the beginning, to the timing of Chen Long and Gross's running, in addition to the choice of running routes, it is also based on Chen Long's super physical fitness. If you are an ordinary person, it is difficult to suddenly change direction in the middle of a continuous high-speed run in a race.

“…… This is very demanding on the knees. ”

Mourinho's words dispelled the idea that some players wanted to try it themselves.

However, when everyone looked at Long Chen, their eyes were obviously different—it turned out that the three of them were so amazing

Even Chen Long felt a little embarrassed - it turns out that we are so awesome

After analysing the goal, Mourinho announced the team's next training + stroke.

Chen Long and Gross's whimsical tactics entered the team's formal training

And this time it was upgraded.

When training, it is no longer just the three of them who look like they are in a simple training.

This time, when they train, the whole team will cooperate with them.

The most important thing is the introduction of defense.

The introduction of defense makes training more realistic, fully simulating the situation on the field, and the training is more effective.

At the same time, in order to share the burden of Rodriguez, he will not be surrounded by many players on the other side. Sanchez and Rugani are also not allowed to actively cooperate with Rodriguez in attack, so that Milan's attack looks like there are more options, so that the defenders cannot focus all their defensive attention on Rodriguez.

If they continue to surround Rodriguez, then Rodriguez can pass the football to Sanchez and Rugani. Anyway, Milan is not the only Rodriguez to play the ball, nor is it the only Rodriguez, Chen Long and Gross offensive line.

No offensive routine can cover the world, but it just gives the team one more option when attacking. And the attacker has one more choice, and the defender has to face one more situation, which will make it more difficult for them to guess when defending.

The previous special training of Chen Long and Gross looked more like a petty fight.

And now, with the strength of the whole team to train, the means are indeed more abundant and the effect is better.

Rodriguez went straight, Chen Long and Gross ran and eventually got a better and higher success rate.

Of course, even with the help of the team, Chen Long did not give up the plan to continue training after the training.

Rodriguez naturally didn't have any opinions, and when Long Chen said what to do, he would do it.

Gross will have no opinion.

So after the three of them trained in normal team training, they had to train more on their own to continue to consolidate their training results.

Half a week was a very short period and soon they were in the next round of the league.

Milan host Napoli.

Ahead of the game, Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri gave his opinion on Lucas' two goals in the previous round of the league.

"I don't know if it was a sign of luck, but I've found a solution and I don't think there's anything to worry about."

And when it came to the game, Sarri's so-called "solution" was to shrink the defense across the board......

At Milan's home stadium, he didn't even think about attacking

Maurizio Sarri's Napoli have abandoned their previous attacking football in favour of defensive football.

However, it is difficult to say how much Napoli's defense has improved under his leadership.

In nine rounds of the league, his team has conceded ten goals, an average of more than one goal per game.

Such a defense is not good in any way.

And because of the emphasis on defense, Napoli has lost its previous sharpness in attack.

Despite having a talented Paraguayan midfielder like Paleo, they haven't been able to do anything in attack.

Eleven goals have been scored in nine league games.

Compare that to Juventus, who have scored nineteen goals in nine league games and conceded just five.

In contrast, Maurizio Sarri's Napoli are not solid defensively and weak in attack.

Such a performance naturally caused dissatisfaction among Napoli fans.

You must know that Napoli, like Roma, was a very famous attacking football team in Serie A, and their games were very passionate, and their performances may be inconsistent, but there will never be a score like 00. For those neutral fans, Napoli and Roma are the two favourites.

Napoli fans are also proud of it.

However, Napoli's top brass were not happy with this.

They brought in Maurizio Sarri in the hope of improving the team's defence.

Napoli's defense has been really poor in recent seasons, and no matter who is in charge, the biggest headache for their team is not attack, but defense.

Maurizio Sarri has vowed to take the team's defence up a notch.

His approach was to shrink the defense......

If their opponents are not Milan, then Maurizio Sarri's tactic is to quickly revert to the defence when the team takes a one-goal lead in the game, and even the striker like Pacquiao has to withdraw to participate in the defence.

0ism is what Sarri's Napoli adhere to.

If Napoli hadn't been able to rank sixth in the league now, it is estimated that the fans would have rebelled long ago......

In this game, playing Milan away, Sarri didn't even want to attack, he didn't want to win at all. As long as they can draw with Milan, it will be a victory.

Although Mourinho's Milan have not found their way to attack so far this season (the "CG combination" is still in the run-in stage in a sense), this has not reduced the threat of Milan. Because Milan has a lot of stars, any one of them can make the difference between winning and losing a game. Not to mention that Milan still has such a pervert as Chen Long

So in Milan's home stadium to shrink the defense, Sarri did not go out of line, even Napoli fans have to admit that Sarri's choice is the right one - if Sarri lets his team play Milan away from home, Napoli fans will definitely scold him for having water in his head.

In this game, in order to be able to concentrate on defending, Paraguay's talented player Pacquiao did not even start, he sat on the bench.

From the first minute of the game, the whole team contracted their defense and retracted their own half, intending to take advantage of the local numerical advantage to maneuver with Milan.

Maurizio Sarri thinks that in this way, Milan's attack against Juventus will not be able to play - I don't leave you space at all, how are you going to play?

And my players don't leave your Rodriguez, see how you deliver through balls?

If it had been against the same Milan side as Juventus, perhaps Sarri would have succeeded this time.

But Milan is no longer what it used to be.

In the 21st minute, Rodriguez picked up the ball very close to the Napoli back line, and two Napoli defenders made a pounce. The back line held its position and left enough space for Gross and Chen to play behind them.

It looked like Milan's attack was going to fail.

But who knows, Rodriguez gave the football directly to Sanchez

Because Napoli's defensive attention is on Chen Long, Rodriguez and Gross, there is no defender on Sanchez's side.

The captain of the Portuguese national team received the ball and shot straight from distance

For a player of his calibre, shooting with his feet without defence and distraction is as easy as practicing shooting in training.

The ball made a less noticeable arc, bypassing the hand of Napoli goalkeeper Simons before drilling into the back of the net

"1:0, Sanchez gave Milan the lead"

'Napoli made a serious mistake in defending, focusing only on Rodriguez, obviously trying to avoid the goals that Juventus had conceded in their last game against Juventus...... But Sarri forgot that this is Milan, in addition to Chen Long and Rodriguez, Milan has many players who can decide the outcome of the game, how could he not have someone to defend Sanchez? ”

Sanchez looked happy after the goal.

After deciding to renew his contract with Milan, he still hopes that he can show a convincing performance.

Because he knows very well how much firepower will be attracted about his salary once his contract extension with Milan is exposed. If his performance is not good enough, there will be criticism that he does not deserve an annual salary of 12 million euros.

Sanchez didn't want that to happen.

In the games against Torino and Juventus, he didn't perform well.

The pressure is slowly accumulating.

And now that he's finally scored, it has somewhat dispelled the dark clouds hanging over his head.

'Maurizio Sarri made a low-level mistake, how could he let Sanchez go? This conceded goal should have attracted his attention, and the importance he attached to Rodriguez was simply unreasonable...... Even if Gross hadn't been lucky with those two goals against Juventus, the success rate wouldn't have been too high. For this offensive method with a low success rate, too much defensive energy is expended. It's really putting the cart before the horse."

The announcer on local radio in Napoli was furious in his commentary on the game, which was fiercely critical of Maurizio Sarri.

In fact, the commentator has long been tired of Sarri.

And there are quite a few people who have this opinion.

When Maurizio Sarri arrived in Napoli, it was a surprise. No one knows how he can coach such a team as Napoli.

He was previously in charge of Napoli at Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga, but he was sacked by Borussia Mönchengladbach last summer.

After being fired by Borussia Mönchengladbach, Sarri had an affair with Lola, the wife of his team's assistant coach, and finally succeeded in hooking Lola to his bed, which is a typical wall-digging behavior.........

In addition, what makes Napoli's commentators unhappy with Sarri is that under his leadership, Napoli has changed dramatically, but this change is not what everyone wants to see.

That is to abandon the tradition of offensive football and play passive and conservative defensive football.

This is distressing for many Napoli supporters.

Especially after this change, the team's results show no signs of improving......

Maurizio Sarri frowned as he watched Milan's players celebrate goals and take the lead together.

Judging by this shot, Sanchez is in good form going into this game.

If Sanchez continues to be given such opportunities in the next games, I am afraid that there will be more goals conceded...

It looks like I've really made a mistake.

He thought about it carefully and also felt that Milan's goal in the last game had a lot of luck. Although there is a threat, it is much lighter than Sanchez's long-range threat.

Thinking of this, Sarri made an adjustment.

'Maurizio Sarri was clearly scared by Milan's performance in the last game. Now that he's adjusted, I'm glad to see that his brain hasn't broken yet...... Compared to that complicated attacking routine, Sanchez's long-range shot is clearly more threatening."

After the restart, the Napoli commentator was obviously happy about the change he had made, but when he said it, everyone could still hear it, and he was still mocking Maurizio Sarri...... It can be seen how bad Sarri's popularity is......

At the same time, he also believes that it is not enough to just adjust the defense.

"It just gives us a good chance of not conceding any more goals, but now that we're behind and the game is over, then it's pointless to try, at least we should score a goal and equalize the score, right?"

The commentator is not arrogant that Napoli can beat Milan on the road.

"There was Pacquiao on the bench. How often will Maurizio Sarri put him on the pitch? ”

The telecast also gave Pacquiao a close-up of him sitting on the bench looking at the pitch with a blank face.

Apparently it wasn't just this Napoli announcer who saw the problem.

If they can't score, Maurizio Sarri's side will still lose.

Maurizio Sarri doesn't have time to think about attacking at the moment.

First of all, don't keep conceding goals until the end of the first half.

He breathed a sigh of relief after letting his players go to defend Sanchez and Rugani.

Everything looks like it's working right now......

And Rodriguez also has a defender next to him who won't let him control the ball and pass the ball unscrupulously.

At the same time, the back line does not need to go up to block Sanchez's long-range shots, they can still maintain their positions, so that Gross and Chen Long have no space behind them to use.

Napoli's defensive intensity has not decreased.

When Rodriguez got the ball again, he had only one Napoli player with him.

The defensive intensity against him has dropped a lot compared to before.

Rodriguez realized it was an opportunity, one to tell everyone that they weren't scoring by luck.

The moment he received the ball, he observed what was ahead.

Long Chen and Gross have begun to get closer.

It's close, and if he wants to pass it straight or not, he has to make a decision right away, otherwise it's too late......

Rodriguez didn't hesitate and shook his foot to launch a through ball

"Rodriguez's direct pass"

Before Peta's words fell, he saw Chen Long and Gross rushing towards a point at the same time

It was a scene he knew all too well.

Isn't this Milan's "trick" to beat Juventus in the last game?

He had just had this idea when he saw Chen Long and Gross running cross.

No one touched football.

And the football rolled past the Napoli defenders......

Peta's gaze quickly turned to Long Chen, who wanted to see ......

really

He saw Chen Long turn behind him after bypassing the Napoli defender, and then ...... Received the football

Not again

He could almost already imagine what was going to happen next.

Chen Long, who received the football, did not continue to dribble the ball forward, but made a horizontal pass

Gross slapped his horse and then fired a tackle

Although Simmons immediately pounced back after seeing Chen Long's pass, his movements were still a little slower.

Before he could pounce, the ball was flying into the goal......

It's just three things

Peta had two other such goals in his mind, exactly the same.

Now this is the third one

The first one everyone said it was luck, and after the second goal, although Chen Long said that it was not luck, everyone still doubted it.

Now, this is the third one

The third identical goal, was it still luck?

He knew what to say.

"Gross," he shouted, taking a deep breath. "It's him again, and it's Chen Long who gives him the assist, there is no doubt that this is the "performance of the CG combination", Gross's goal is exactly the same as the goal he scored in the last round of the league against Juventus, exactly the same whether it is the process of attacking, or the final result, the most important key details...... It's all the same, the ball goes around the defender, and Sakae goes around the other side, then receives the ball behind him and crosses it to the middle...... This kind of cooperation is definitely not something that can be achieved by luck

He defined the offensive routine - it was a traceable attacking routine, and it was definitely not a lucky goal

"Oooo

The Colombians also rushed over.

The three of them hugged each other again.

They have already done this three times in the last match against Juventus.

But after three times, no one else saw anything from it, and I still felt that those balls seemed to be lucky to get in......

Sarri watched the scene and wanted to smash something to vent the anger in his heart.

But he was empty-handed, and he had nothing.

He had no choice but to turn around and punch the awning of the coach's box.

He felt as if the game was against him.

When he asked his team to defend Rodriguez with all their might, Sanchez scored.

He reflected on his tactics and made adjustments to strengthen the defence against Sanchez.

But then Rodriguez instigated an attack and scored the exact same goal that Milan scored against Juventus

What the is this

Luck?

Fuck you luck

Lao Tzu no longer believes in the that goals are scored by luck

Sarri felt he had been wronged.

And now the bigger question is how will Napoli defend next?

Is it against Rodriguez, or is it against Sanchez?

Or rather...... Now that it's the way it is, is it still necessary for Napoli to continue defending?

It's already two goals behind, continue to defend, even if you hold on, don't continue to concede goals, but the score can't be changed.

In the end, I still lose.

Do you want to attack?

He glanced back at Pacquiao.

If you're going to attack, that's pretty much his only back hand......

But the first half of the game isn't over yet......

Is it really okay to change people so quickly?

In fact, no matter how Maurizio Sarri struggles, the result of this game against Napoli is already doomed.

No team has been able to pull back two goals behind Milan at the San Siro.

Not to mention the "castrated" Naples.

Under Maurizio Sarri, Napoli have turned into a defensive team...... When the offensive is gone, how can it be possible to reverse Milan?

While Maurizio Sarri was still hesitating to make a first-half substitution, Milan scored another goal before the end of the first half.

This time it was Gross who scored.

But the way he scored was a different from his previous four goals.

This time it was Raphael Varane who came up with an assist and crossed with his feet. Gross flanked the ball in front of goal, and when he leaped up, his head missed the ball, but his knee did his duty instead of his head

After the soccer ball hit his knee, he flew faster than the one above his head.

The Napoli goalkeeper couldn't make a save and didn't make an effective save at all, and the ball flew into the goal and hit the net headlong......

"Gross scored a brace, just less than two games. He scored just five goals, scoring a hat-trick against Juventus and scoring twice against Napoli...... This kind of performance is comparable to Long Chen."

Peta was surprised.

No one thought that Gross in the "CG combination" would be the first to break out, because subconsciously, everyone thought that Chen Long was the first attack point of this combination.

Goals have been scored in two games in a row, and there have been quite a few goals. If the previous four balls were still suspected of hugging Chen Long's thighs - because Chen Long assisted him in those four balls - then this ball finally has nothing to say, right?

In this attack, Chen Long did not participate in it at all.

Raphael Varane's direct cross was met by Gross and the ball was smashed into the back of the net......

It's not very pretty, but there's nothing more affordable than scoring a goal

Jose Mourinho was also delighted with Gross' goal.

This ball truly embodies Gross's value, which is completely different from Chen Long's value and ability.

His ability to grab points

Gross has no speed, average physical strength, and no fancy technique on his feet like the others.

But Mourinho doesn't need his fancy footwork either.

As a striker, as long as you can score goals.
