Chapter 69: Attack

Torino's first goal did cause some panic for the young Prato, as if the score was maintained until the end, Torino could have eliminated Prato by virtue of the number of away goals. Coupled with the deafening shouts of the Turin fans in the stadium www.biquge.info Prato was completely suppressed by the Torino team for a while, and the scene seemed very passive.

However, just when the Prato players were a little depressed, a loud voice sounded on the field: "Raise your heads, it's only the first half, we only need to score one goal and the opponent will be finished, now it's them who should be worried." "It was Dunga, who was the captain on the field.

Prato has had a good season so Dunga has always been quiet on the pitch and just doing what he has to do. But don't think that he has no prestige among the players, usually in daily training, as the most famous player he is the first to arrive at the training ground to start warm-up, after training, he always has to help the assistant coach to take back all the sports equipment to the equipment room and then leave, see the initiative to stay to practice the player, as long as he is free, will come forward to help at any cost, although just to do some serving, pick up the ball chores, but with his value, more commendable. He doesn't always act like a good teacher, but always jokes with the team members and points out the shortcomings of the other party between fights. This bit by bit gradually accumulated in the hearts of the Prato players, and slowly established a tall image of a captain.

"Stabilize the defense first!" Now there are only about ten minutes before the end of the first half, and the Torino team is in full swing, it is not the best time to launch a counterattack, so it is better to drag it until half-time to hear what new arrangements the coach has.

Dunga's prestige gave the Prato players a backbone in the panic quickly, and they quickly stabilized the defensive formation under Dunga's deployment, and Doni also retreated to the forward position to help Zanetti defend, and the Torino team's attack was slightly reduced.

Finally entering the half-time break, Spalletti appeared in front of the players with a confident look: "In the second half we attacked! Compared to their attacking ability, Torino's defensive weaknesses are more prominent, and they were so excited in the first half, it also consumed more of their physical energy, Torino only have such a good squad, the average age is close to 30 years old, and they play much more intense Serie A than us, and they also have the European Cup Winners' Cup, this season, the physical strength has been exhausted. And what about you? You've got a timely rotation of your teammates, not counting your captain, your average age is only 22 years old, and in fact, your captain is probably more physical than you right now......"

There was a burst of knowing laughter from the players, and Spalletti also pressed his hand happily and said: "In short, in the second half, everyone ran up, put a little more pressure on them, and they must be the first to collapse." With that, Spalletti began to explain the weaknesses of the Torino team on the tactical board, and as he penetrated into the tactical analysis, the Prato players were completely relaxed as if they had been massaged, and everyone was convinced that the final victory would definitely belong to them.

In the end, Spalletti called Zanetti to the side: "Javier, the only weakness of my tactics is Enzo. Francisco Ley's counterattack, I want to give you this task, is there a problem? ”

Zanetti was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head with his eyes focused: "No problem, head!" ”

Spalletti smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked out.

At the beginning of the second half, the Prato team, which had been very conservative and had been firmly playing defensive counterattacks, suddenly pressed hard. Crazy from the front to start pressing the defense. Although the two forwards of the Prato team are not good at defending, Vieri is strong and strong, Inzaghi is an active runner, and after putting himself into the pressing, he still caused a certain amount of confusion in the opponent's backline, and the Torino backline, which was not outstanding in the first place, was even more difficult to organize the attack, and could only pass the ball in a panic. The Plato's forward pressing was a reference to Zeman's tactics at Foggia, with the Czechs encouraging attack, prohibiting return passes, and even putting forward the argument that "the four defenders should kick the missing ball back to the attacking player most of the time". In fact, his team did not have a complete lack of defense, but moved the defense to the front, which was physically demanding for the players, but now it is precisely the biggest advantage of Prato against Torino.

In addition, the defensive ability of the Prato midfielders is very good, Dunga needless to say, Ma Minyu is also stronger than attacking, and Doni's comprehensive skills do not only refer to his offensive talent, his defensive skills are not inferior to his offense, as for Veron, in many people's impressions, Veron has always been a defensive hole, but in fact, he can support the back of the Lazio team alone in later generations, if there is no defensive ability at all, how is it possible? What's more, under Dunga's influence, although the "White Wizard" still focuses on offensive organization, his defensive ability has also improved greatly.

Such a forward line, coupled with Prato's already very outstanding defensive ability, is a linebacker. When these two lines unleashed a frantic strangulation in the midfield, the original smooth ground passing coordination of the Torino team was immediately cut to pieces. The ball from the back line, which was already in a panic, could not pass through the midfield, let alone form an attacking organization and send shells to the forward line.

In the 6th minute after the opening of the second half, Ma Minyu and Pesoto cooperated to steal the pass of the Torino team on the left side. Because he broke the ball in the midfield and was in a very high position, Ma Minyu immediately made a 45-degree cross and found Vieri on the front line with good accuracy.

The Torino team, who had been tasked with keeping an eye on Vieri's centre-back, was helpless with his panel-like stature and was firmly held out by Vieri, unable to compete for the header. Vieri was so relaxed that he even had time to glance at the position of his teammates, ignoring the small movements of the Torino central defender pulling the shirt and pushing the waist eye, and completely unaffected to the ball to Veron, who was inserted into the edge of the penalty area.

Veron was ready to shoot at the ball, and he has scored a number of such classic shots this season. The Torino defenders immediately rushed up like they were dying, at this time Vieri and Inzaghi were in the opponent's penalty area, the Torino team's penalty area was overcrowded, Veron saw that the shooting line was not very good, and he didn't really shoot, but waited for the Torino players who pounced on him to move old, and a plucked ball shook away. Seeing Veron shake off his own defenders, another Torino player suddenly pounced, and everyone with defensive common sense knows that in this area, the opponent must not be allowed to have room to stand calmly.

Veron, on the other hand, also achieved his goal after attracting a defender again, with a fake shot and a real pass, as if his magic right foot crossed the ball in a circle, gently pushing the ball to the side. There, a tall figure was striding up, like a train full of momentum slamming into the ball, and the ball flew out like a cannonball.

The angle of the ball was not tricky, but the power and speed were so great that the Torino goalkeeper, who had been caught by Veron's attention, only had time to make a lateral jump before the ball drilled into the net at his side.

The goal was scored by Prato's central defender Fan Zhiyi. One of Spalletti's innovations this season is to liberate Fan Zhiyi from the back line, simply comparing defensive ability, Fan Zhiyi is not outstanding among several central defenders in Prato, his defense relies more on extraordinary physical fitness, and when it comes to the basic skills of defense, he is not even as good as Materazzi, who is still a little rough. The reason why Spalletti insisted on letting Fan Zhiyi serve as the main central defender was because of Fan Zhiyi's offensive ability, in addition to the influence of Chen Lin. Fan Zhiyi not only has a good header and a hard shot on his feet, his offensive awareness is also very strong, simply put, he has the ability to capture shooting opportunities like a striker, just like the goal just scored, he has been in the back line He realized that there would be a defensive gap on Veron's side, so he ran to it, so he scored.

Spalletti saw Fan Zhiyi's ability, so he did not fix him on the defensive line, but gave him the permission of a free man to choose the timing of joining the attack independently. Of course, the risk of a centre-back being in front is greater than that of a full-back, and this requires a trade-off. Fortunately, Prato has a Dunga with an almost old demon in defensive awareness, and when Fan Zhiyi is inserted forward, his timely defense can often replace Fan Zhiyi's responsibilities as a central defender. This is "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure", even the "Prince of Uruguay" with the highest CA value on the opposite side is only 163 ability value, and Dunga's ability value is close to 180, which is by no means just talking.
