Chapter 208: Tactical Adjustments

On the away bench, Lopez saw that Donadoni did not make any moves, so he did not make any adjustments, and now this situation is very favorable for them Palermo.

Although, Lopez also wants to eat Parma and take the three points, and continue to widen the gap between the two teams, so that their league championship status will be completely consolidated.

But Parma's team is not so easy to deal with, their strength is very good, since the draw Palermo can be satisfied, there is no need to take risks, once lost, the impact on Palermo will be fatal.

You must know that in this game, Palermo cannot afford to lose either.

So at this moment, Lopez is still trying to maintain the balance on the court with the mentality of focusing on stability.

At the end of the first half, both sides focused on the battle for the midfield, and there was little threat to both sides' goals, and the fans at the scene were drowsy and complaining.

In the end, the first half ended with Parma playing 0-0 at home to Palermo.

The main players of both sides returned to the dressing room, took a brief rest, and then listened to the manager's tactical arrangements.

The substitutes on both sides did not go into the locker room, but started to practice with the ball on the court.

Jiang Chen walked into the stadium with a football in his arms, and the Parma fans at the scene immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers, and some fans even wanted to jump off the stands and get close to their idols.

It can be seen that now Jiang Chen is still in the Parma team, which is still relatively popular, and the Parma fans are not too harsh, because Jiang Chen's performance in several games is unsatisfactory, so they sarcastically and viciously attack Jiang Chen.

At this time, the fans of the Parma team still hope that Jiang Chen can play, they very much recognize Jiang Chen's ability, and firmly believe that Jiang Chen can bring victory to the team.

After the half-time break, players from both sides returned to the pitch and the game resumed.

Palermo's tactics continued in the first half, still controlling the tempo, pressing in the midfield and launching a quick attack immediately after breaking the ball, while Parma did not change much, fighting for control of the midfield.

This made the fans on both sides complain, it seems that these two championship teams are going to continue to play in such a chaotic way, and the two sides are going to tacitly get a point.

Jiang Chen sat on the bench and didn't understand a little, and he didn't understand what the coaches of these two teams meant.

Unconsciously for more than a dozen minutes, the two sides were still in a chaotic stalemate in the midfield, and at the beginning of the second half, the two sides combined did not even shoot more than three times, without the slightest passionate collision of the top battle, more like a community exhibition match between two senior football teams.

"It seems that the managers of both teams are very calm, do they really just want to get a draw?" Sky Sports commentator Baroni wondered.

"Anyway, it's the same sentence, Palermo can accept a draw, Parma definitely can't accept it, maybe Donadoni is waiting for something, I think they will definitely make a change." Sky Sports commentator Montoli said.

On the bench, Parma coach Donadoni suddenly looked up at the timing board on the scene, at this moment the game has reached the seventieth minute of the second half, and it looks like more than 20 minutes at most from the end of the game.

Donadoni takes a deep breath, it's time for the final showdown!

Immediately, Donadoni turned his head and shouted to Jiang Chen on the bench: "Chen! Give you three minutes to warm up! ”

Jiang Chen on the bench was anxious, and suddenly heard Donadoni's call, he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic in his heart, and immediately took off his coat and ran to the sidelines to start warming up.

"Oh my God! Look! Tatsumi finally warmed up on the sidelines! It seems that Donadoni can't wait any longer, he has to make a change, and hopefully his decision is the right one! Sky Sports commentator Baroni said suddenly.

Seeing Jiang Chen warming up on the sidelines, Parma fans were excited, their Demon 13 was finally going to play!

After the three-minute warm-up, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the bench and came to Donadoni's side.

Donadoni stood up and explained to Jiang Chen: "Chen! Let's change to a Christmas tree formation, you go up and then you replace Kaleo, you play the center forward, and Mario and Silligadi are waiting behind you. ”

Jiang Chen nodded and said that he knew, he was very familiar with this lineup, and he had expected it.

Donadoni continued: "After you get on the field, tell them to step back all the way, don't fight them for midfield, let's attack with a long pass directly from the back, what we want is simple, direct and hard!" ”

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Donadoni to make such a tactical adjustment.

Donadoni ignored Jiang Chen's surprise, he continued: "Your frontcourt trident should pay attention to the offside line at any time, and we will directly play the gap behind the Palermo defender with a long pass. ”

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Chen suddenly became enlightened, Donadoni saw that Palermo was collectively pressed very high, and the gap in the back line was very large, so he wanted to use this gap directly.

Jiang Chen recognized Donadoni's tactics, which was indeed the only weakness that Palermo could show right now.

Donadoni said again: "After you go up, you let Msdega retreat to about ten meters in front of the back line, and we have to use his accurate long pass!" ”

Jiang Chen nodded, indicating clarity.

Mstiga is Parma's best player at long balls, and it was a smart choice to return to the back and play long balls straight away.

Donadoni has not finished his tactical set-up, he continued: "Let Lucarelli and them try to lean into the middle as much as possible, to fight with the Palermo players in the middle, to do everything possible to grab and destroy, absolutely not to allow Palermo to play an effective combination. ”

Jiang Chen nodded: "Got it, coach, I'll convey it to them!" ”

After explaining, Donadoni nodded in satisfaction.

Then he patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Chen! Try to relax your mentality, even if you lose in the end, you are not to blame, besides, everyone believes in your strength, it is a matter of time before you regain your form, believe in yourself, don't put too much burden on yourself! ”

Hearing Donadoni's comforting words, a warm current surged in Jiang Chen's heart, and he was very grateful to Donadoni for his trust.

Donadoni patted Jiang Chen's back again and said, "Chen, go up, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Jiang Chen nodded hurriedly, then turned around directly, walked towards the fourth official, and submitted an application for replacement.

After the fourth official simply went through the substitution procedures, he immediately took the sign and led Jiang Chen to the sidelines, waiting for the dead ball to make a substitution.
