At the start of the second half, Roma tried to set up their defence before Brescia attacked. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Zhang Shu's running position is not only the bellwether of Brescia's offensive line, but also the baton of Rome's defensive center.
Capello's tactical changes paid off at first, and more defensive forces were put into Zhang's position to make the Roma defence thicker. With too many players crowded into the local area, Brescia's attack was inevitably slowed down.
The game seemed to be back to parity, with a fierce battle between the two sides in midfield.
"Eh, the overall strength of the team is still a little worse." Seeing this scene, Guardiola thought so.
After 442 began to dominate the world, there began to be football coaches who raised the formation to a metaphysical level, and determined two major issues for modern football in continuous exploration and thinking: how to break the dense defense and how to complete the offensive and defensive transition in the shortest time.
Brescia established Zhang Shu's tactical position in the offensive and defensive transition to make the team clear the offensive direction in the shortest time, and then solved the problem of "how to achieve offensive and defensive conversion with the least value" through Zhang Shu's individual combat ability.
This is a forced compromise.
Even if Zhang Shu advances with the ball, no matter how fast he advances, he can't fly faster than the speed of the football. In Pep Guardiola's mind, the safest and fastest way to complete the transition between attack and defense is through tacit and fast passing and cutting cooperation.
However, Brescia's squad could not live up to Guardiola's demands. For most of the Brescia players, it is already very difficult to complete the runs that have been trained in the tactical demands of the previous training in the fast-changing and complex situation on the pitch, and it is beyond their ability to combine them with a small range of passes and runs in such a position. Zhang and Baggio may be able to do it, but it will take the tacit understanding of the whole team to complete the smooth attack as Guardiola imagined.
However, even the current Brescia team, although there is still a gap from Guardiola's ideals, will not be suppressed by such a simple tactical adjustment of the Roma team.
Soon, after getting used to Roma's defensive strategy, Brescia regained their attacking rhythm.
Zhang Shu's running position began to change frequently, and as he ran, Brescia's formation also changed.
As soon as Roma was under a slight pressure from the defense, Zhang Shu would pass the ball back to Pep Guardiola to reorganize, and he ran in the other direction without stopping.
Soon, Roma couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and it took Brescia a whole pre-match training camp to get the players used to switching positions as a whole, so how could Roma learn it in just one half-time?
If Brescia's overall formation moves from one side of the pitch to the other as naturally and smoothly as flowing water, then Roma's formation moves like unlubricated gears. While the players are exhausted, they have exposed even more gaps.
So after a little rusty 10 minutes, Brescia regained the advantage on the pitch.
In the 27th minute of the second half, Brescia once again caught Roma's mistake in switching formations.
In order to defend Zhang Shu, who cut in from the left, Roma defenders Zivu and Samuel let go of Baggio at the far end, and there should have been a midfielder or full-back who recycled into the penalty area to make up for the defense at this time, but De Rossi and Lima were attracted by Di Biagio in front and did not notice Baggio's insertion. Emerson, on the other hand, ran back to defend Toney in order to fill the gap in the penalty area when he had leaned towards the flanks in the past.
As a result, Matuzalen, who received Zhang Shu's return pass this time, did not pass the ball to Zhang Shu again, but pushed it to the other side of the penalty area. It was empty, and there was no one but Baggio.
So Baggio, who received the pass at the back post, sent the ball into the goal with a push with great ease.
β199οΌ 199οΌ The Brescia players surrounded the captain in excitement, and Toni bent down to lift Baggio's right foot up on his knee in a shoe-shine gesture, only to almost knock the unprepared Baggio to the ground.
It was Baggio's 199th Serie A goal and he was within easy reach of 200, so it's no wonder the Brescia players are so excited.
Even now that the team's tactical core has shifted more to Zhang Shu, the players' love for the captain has not diminished by half a point.
Baggio, on the other hand, was much more calm, standing in the Rome penalty area, smiling and high-fiveing his team-mates in celebration. I don't know why, the closer he gets to 200 goals, the calmer his heart becomes. In the past, the biggest goal of his career before retiring from retirement was in his mind, and he didn't know when it had become less important.
Perhaps, it was you who found a bigger purpose?
He looked at Zhang Shu, who was gathered around him with the rest of his teammates, and judging from this game, Zhang had proven that he has the ability to lead the team to victory on the field.
Next, just have to see how far he can grow.
Baggio thought as he beckoned his teammates to run towards their own half.
Near the centre circle, Pep Guardiola and Di Biagio were also high-fived in celebration.
"Gigi, what do you think of this tactic now?" Guardiola asked with a smug smile.
"Hmmm... Truly... Not bad. Despite the celebration, Di Biagio still looked a little cold. He's not the kind of player who laughs and hugs his teammates, even when he scores a goal himself, he chooses to celebrate with a roar or something like that. Of course, he was not hesitant to rant at his teammates after conceding the goal.
This kind of personality makes Di Biagio's relationship with his teammates not particularly good, but a player like him can bring out more blood in his teammates in the face of adversity.
Pep Guardiola didn't care about Di Biagio's seriousness, he knew that this team-mate had this temper.
But Zhang Shu, who came back from the front, was not as discerning as Guardiola, and when he passed by Di Biagio, he hooked the veteran's neck directly from the side.
"Hey! Gigi, what are you doing with a straight face? You've got to be happy when we score! why_so_seriousοΌ β
It's a pity that Di Biagio is not a DC fan, and he couldn't get Zhang Shu's American comic stalk at all.
"It's not over yet, it's not time to sit back and relax." He pulled down Zhang Shu's arm around his neck with his hand, looked at Zhang Shu's eyes seriously and said. "As long as the referee doesn't blow the whistle for the end of the game, there is still a possibility that the game will be lost."
In the face of such a Di Biagio, Zhang Shu seemed helpless.
"What a boring person." In the end, he could only shrug his shoulders, turn around and run away.
Seeing Zhang Shu deflated, Guardiola winked at Baggio, who also had just run back.
"It seems that your successor will have to learn how to communicate with different teammates in addition to the game."
"Having someone as serious as Jiji thinks it's a good thing for Zhang."
Brescia kept their advantage until the end.
Although Totti pulled one back for Roma with a 33-metre free-kick in the final moments of the game, he was unable to save Roma's defeat. Although Di Biagio is old, his hardness in defense is still the same, and with the assistance of his teammates, Brescia's back three completely restrained Totti's play today.
In the end, Brescia won the game 3-1.
"It's over!" With the referee's whistle, there was jubilation on the Brescia bench.
It wasn't just a win in one game, it marked a month and a half of training that wasn't for nothing and that Brescia's new tactics were on the right path.
All the hard work paid off in the end, and all the hard work that has been put in before will bring them one three points after another in the new season.
"Zhang, how do you feel?" When Zhang Shu walked off the field, Merricini was the first to greet him, and now Zhang Ke is the most important person in the whole team, as the team's physical coach, Mericini must keep an eye on his physical reserves at all times.
"It's okay, I don't think it's too much of a problem to play like this for a season." Zhang Shu replied. "Thanks to the special training you helped me do, I ran so much more in this race and I feel that my physical strength can support it."
"Haha, what you should be most grateful for is your persistence." Hearing Zhang Shu's answer, Mericini laughed happily, "But it's not yet time for the schedule to be intensive, and there are more challenges waiting for you." But don't worry, I'll keep an eye on your fitness at all times. β
Brescia's match against Roma was the focus of media attention after the game.
Italy's master tactician, pioneer of 1:0 doctrine, five-time Serie A champion, three-time winner of Italy's best coach Capello lost a tactical duel with veteran coach Mazzoni. If you take into account the difference in strength between Rome and Brescia, this defeat is even more tragic.
The tactically obsessed Italians seem to have discovered a new continent.
The Torino Sport newspaper commented:
"The back three is synonymous with conservatism in everyone's mind, but Mazzoni has given a new meaning to the back three. Di Biagio, Matuzaren, Pep Guardiola, the three midfielders who can step in at any time to support the front line, give Brescia more variation in the attack. From a functional point of view, Di Biagio, who is good at long-range shots and long passes, Pep Guardiola, who is good at controlling the tempo and organising, and Matuzalen, who is well-balanced, form a perfect complement, and the three of them have a perfect chemistry together. β
And the most surprising thing was not them, but Zhang, who was only 17 years old. This is not the first time Zhang has surprised us, but Mazzoni's use of Zhang in this match is really eye-catching. It's hard to define what position Zhang is playing in this game, full-back? Front waist? Shadow Blade? Mid-midfield? Or even a forward back? Zhang could be seen throughout the Roma half. β
"Zhang alone completed the task of the entire forward line of Brescia, in attack, he is the commander of Brescia, and in defense, he is the first iron gate of the whole team. If in the past, when we reported on Zhang, we could still define him in a specific position, then in the future, when we mention him, we can only call him 'midfielder Zhang', which is not a general title, this is Zhang's position - midfielder. β
"Beckenbauer once pioneered the system of 'free man', Zhang can also be called a 'free man', and the difference between him and the football emperor is that Beckenbauer goes from one penalty area to another, while Zhang goes from one wing to another. Although Zhang is still a little immature, he has already shown the possibility of achieving a great future. β
This report from the Torino Sport newspaper blows Zhang Shu a little too far. For now, Zhang Shu's status must be a huge distance from Beckenbauer. It's just that the Italians' fanatical worship of tactics has led them to elevate the role of Zhang Shu in their reporting.
But Chinese fans like to hear it! Nothing has made Chinese fans happier than the foreign media's praise of Zhang Shu.
Chinese football's long-standing position in world football has made Chinese fans feel a little inferior, and they hope to be affirmed by the media of developed football countries rather than the praise of their own players by the Chinese media.
Since the foreign media have raised Zhang Shu to such a level, the Chinese media have no scruples in praising Zhang Shu.
"Zhang Shu detonated Italian football, and the Roman prince was overshadowed!"
"Milan called cakafil a substitute? Mazzoni said that Zhang Shu is irreplaceable! β
"Where does Brescia go in the post-Baggio era? As everyone knows, the new nuclear is already in the array. β
These headlines are already quite restrained, and the undisciplined online media are eager to use all types of headlines on Zhang Shu.
For example: "Exploding Barcelona Club Loves Super Hot Europe's No. 1 Supernova" - this is a word number
"There is only one person left of the Galaxy Battleship, buy him and reach the top of the Champions League" - this is the YY type
"After watching his game, Galliani cried and fainted in the toilet" - this is not clicked on and I don't know who he is talking about
"Serie A Demon Star is actually Made in China" - this is not an uncomfortable type without magic wings/titans/demon stars/Fengba
"Milan sexy actress shows love for Brescia teenager, cows want to eat tender grass to see how Xiao Zhang parries" - uh... This is Sina King Kong Chen Chi's latest masterpiece
In short, in the midst of this hype of Brescia and Zhang Shu, everyone seems to have forgotten the pre-season media preview.
Brescia's prospects for the new season are worrying? When have we ever said something like this? Have it?
At this time, the media that were not optimistic about Brescia before seemed to have lost their memory, and no one was discussing whether Brescia should abandon the league or not.
Even the "Roma Sport", which had been singing about Brescia before, had to pretend to be generous on the page and said that "Brescia performed better and deserved to win". Although they once again expressed concern that Brescia relied too heavily on Zhang Shu, no one paid any attention to them now.
Who let Brescia win? The same is dependence, Rome can rely on Totti, why can't Brescia rely on Zhang Shu?
"Watching Roma Sports for breakfast was so appetizing!" Zhang Shu took a deep breath with the newspaper, turned his head and said to Han Yu, who was still busy in front of the cupboard. "I just like it when they look at me and have to praise me for my sour taste." (To be continued.) )
