Since being beaten to the ground by Francescoli in the semi-finals of last season's Coppa Italia, Zanetti has been training hard at the Vantino training ground all summer, vowing never to let anyone break through easily down his right flank. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info this turn" There is no more free corridor on the right side of Prato! ”

Obviously, Spalletti is very aware of the lack of run-in in his team, so he started the game with a defensive foothold and made sure not to concede points first. However, while Sampdoria were ineffective in attacking with Prato's all-out defense, Prato's own attack was even more chaotic. The following sets of shots can illustrate the problem:

Ayala broke the ball in the backfield and passed it to Veron, who was dragging behind according to his habit, Veron looked up at the position of the Prato player and found that the left back Leonardo had been pushed forward on the side, and he didn't think that it would be a long pass to the left front, but unlike Pesoto, who likes to cross from the bottom, Leonardo is more accustomed to 45-degree crosses, so he is not ready to accelerate the start at all, so that the request is naturally inexplicable;

Look at another defensive counterattack, this time it was Zanetti who broke the ball on the right side, he took the ball to the side and advanced for a distance, and then looked up to find Vieri as a beacon in the front, and Vieri also cooperated to block Serena behind him, but after Zanetti passed the ball, Effenberg, who was the forward midfielder in this game, also ran to this position, and the two collided together, and no one hit the ball;

In short, the scene is all kinds of chaos, either the ball is passed to the people and does not run, or several people run to a pile, there is no way to talk about anything, and it is difficult for the ball to pass to the feet of Vieri and Inzaghi on the front line, most of the time it ends with the wide player being broken off with the ball alone and the midfielder's long-range shot.

Both sides lacked the offensive achievements and the scene was a stalemate. In fact, in terms of the real strength of the two sides, with the current level of the Prato players, even if Spalletti has run in well for them, playing with the current Sampdoria, the winning side is at most three or seven, and Prato is three. The name of the golden Samp is by no means just boasting, last season only Sampdoria could press AC Milan and Juventus to beat wildly, if the Serie A teams at this time are divided into a grade, Sampdoria, AC Milan and Juventus are the teams in the first pot, even if the Parma team that reached the Cup Winner's Cup final for two consecutive years is also a step behind.

However, this Sampdoria team has a bad characteristic, that is, the stronger the team, the less afraid they are, but they often have no way to take some middle and lower teams, which is related to the overall style of play of this Sampdoria team. The current Sampdoria tactics are a bit like the "strikerless tactics" invented by the Spaniards in the future. This can be seen from the lineup, Sampdoria's two strikers, Mancini is known as one of the best nine and a half players in Italy, what is nine and a half? The actual position is between the midfield and the striker, and Lombardo is simply a midfielder. Sampdoria's tactics pay attention to the possession, coordination and interspersed running in the frontcourt, and there are very few players who fix the position, such as Gullit often runs from the left side to the right side, Evani and Pratt also often move forward and retreat in a large range, the entire Sampdoria players are fluid when they play the game, it can be said that except for goalkeeper Pagliuca and Virjovod, who always sticks to the last line of defense, almost everyone else can be put into attack, like defender Manini is simply a midfield play, He often inserts long-range shots and direct long passes to attack. This style of play is somewhat similar to a certain "cosmic team" in the future.

Sampdoria in this era is not afraid to play against any team in the world, so when encountering those giants who can't pull down their faces to play intensive defense, Sampdoria is accurate, but just like a certain "universe team" at its peak, only Brother Bird's defensive counterattack tactics can be restrained, this immature "no striker tactics" has a fatal weakness, that is, there is no good way to take intensive defensive tactics. Because they lack a strong center forward like Vieri and Bierhoff who can hold the ball and protect the ball in the frontcourt, they can only look for opportunities with skillful coordination and frequent interspersed runs.

However, this Sampdoria team was born in the Italian league at its peak, and almost all Italian teams in this period will have a set of tactics, that is, defensive counterattacks. Therefore, although the historical Sampdoria team played pleasing to the eye and won many wonderful games, it did not achieve as many honors as the "Cosmos Team" in later generations.

And today, they are in such an embarrassment again, although the Prato team's attack is completely unable to threaten the Sampdoria goal, but Sampdoria actually have not much to do with the Prato. Especially Spalletti's three-back tactics, Dunga and Tomasi are butcher-type midfielders, Veron is also much stronger than the same period in history, plus Effenberg, who is amazing and has good defensive ability, Prato's midfield is a meat grinder.

Spalletti's intention is very clear, that is, I can't cooperate, there is no tacit understanding, I can't organize the attack, well, then everyone simply don't organize the attack, and abolish each other's midfielders. Anyway, Prato can also play a long pass counterattack tactic, and he also has this purpose by putting Leonardo in the backfield, although Leonardo has not been in Prato for a long time, he has already shown his passing ability. As for Sampdoria, almost all the attacks are launched through the midfield ball control organization, without the smooth midfield transfer and transfer, Sampdoria is equivalent to abolishing most of the internal strength, purely relying on fists and feet, it is easy to beat Prato to death.

The game lasted for nearly 40 minutes in a crowd of back-to-back turns, Prato withstood the huge pressure, Veron, Effenberg, Tomasi, Zanetti, Ayala all received yellow cards one after another, just like that, Sampdoria still had two shots hit the post, if it weren't for Sampdoria's bad luck, Prato would have fallen behind 0:2 at this time.

However, at this time, the Swede Eriksen, who was watching the game from the sidelines, frowned slightly, and at some point, Prato's original lack of tacit understanding of the passing coordination slowly improved, although it was still not close to the fluency, but it did improve little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. It's terrifying!

Before the game, Eriksen also investigated the Prato team, and now Effenberg, Leonardo, Tomasi, and Iuliano are all new to the Prato team, and it is completely impossible for so many new players to form a team chemistry in less than a month. However, the young bald coach on the other side, who looked funny and didn't pay much attention to him, taught him a lesson, and he actually took advantage of the huge pressure that Sampdoria put on Prato to force his players to complete the rapid integration. At this time, Sampdoria was like a sledgehammer for striking iron, although sparks were splashing, the pig iron under the hammer was gradually transforming into a piece of steel.
