Chapter 54: São Paulo, Home of the Devil (Preparation)

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that the person he met by chance on the bus was actually the son of the famous handsome Lippi, David Lippi!

Chen Fei suddenly thought at this time that since the little Lippi in the future is a football agent, he has not had any contact with the agent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn view of the fact that a famous coach like Mourinho in later generations has a very professional business operation team behind him to promote and package him, and his own team has led the team to good results, so every time he signs a contract with the club, the return is very high. So if you have a professional operation team, how much money will you make? Chen Fei couldn't help but YY in his mind...

However, at this time, the bus arrived at the hotel where the Atlanta players were staying. Chen Fei's thoughts were also interrupted. You must know that in the 90s, the player agent industry was relatively mature, but the agent rarely had contact with the coaching team. Therefore, if Chen Fei wants to cooperate with his agent, it will undoubtedly become another "crab-eating" move.

After arriving at the hotel, Chen Fei announced three rules:

First, all players must return to the hotel before 23:00 in the evening, and they must not stay home or party all night.

Second, all players must abstain from sex during the preparation for the match and are not allowed to stay overnight with their wives or girlfriends.

Third. All players must travel in at least two people, do not go to places that are too remote or crowded, must go to public places, and need to be very vigilant about personal belongings that they carry with them.

The above three rules are effective immediately, and if they are violated, they will be expelled from the squad for this match, and the worst may be banned from the team for more games.

The players have no opinion on the first and second articles, but they don't understand why Chen Fei still has restrictions on travel, and players such as Ferron, Tacinati, Mofeo, Alemao, etc., have raised questions, and Chen Fei has only one way to respond. That is, to tell the players about the robbery of Monica in broad daylight, and to add fuel to the fire.

This trick really worked enough, and in the palace square, in broad daylight in the early morning, the security of Naples was indeed poor enough. Of course, the team members have different reactions to the picture of the thief depicted by Chen Fei adding oil and vinegar:

The old team brought up by the youth team looked at Chen Fei differently, and they showed the green expressions of the girl looking at Professor Du and all kinds of long-legged obas; The old team of the original first team was a little disdainful of Chen Fei's boastful addition to the vinegar, but the next day, a report in the "Naples Daily" made everyone believe it even if they didn't believe it...

It turned out that the waiter became the whistleblower, he told the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and the police personnel also verified the authenticity of the incident.

However, this is just a small episode, and the game still needs a little bit of preparation to have a chance. Of course, after this little episode, the players finally expressed their full understanding of Chen Fei's three rules, and admired his ability to grasp these details, which made Chen Fei's control of the team more stable.

According to Gabriel's feedback, Lippi's Napoli did not opt for the 4-4-2 that was the most popular of the era, but instead used a 3-5-2 formation. Ferrara and Cannavaro, the meritorious players of the Juventus backline, were still the main members of Napoli at this time. It was also under Lippi's tutelage that these famous players later became the mainstay of saving Juventus, which had not been crowned for eight years.

Chen Fei didn't dare to slack off at all this time, he called Gabriel, Adrio, Piech, and even captain Ferron, and watched the collected game footage together. It is said that the analysis of game video should be the work of the members of the coaching staff, but Chen Fei suddenly felt that if some player representatives, especially experienced veterans, were called, they should be able to provide better and more reasonable suggestions to the coaching staff during the pre-match analysis, and at the same time, the players could better understand the deep meaning of the arrangements made by the coaching staff. Of course, this is a good thing for the team, and the other members of the coaching staff will naturally not object, just like that, Chen Fei decided to make the captain Fei Long the first "guinea pig" after consulting the players.

With five people sitting around a small 21-inch screen, Gabriel inserted the tape into the video recorder, which was the last Napoli 1-0 defeat at Juventus.

"Look at this ball, Ferrara's position is very good, the opponent obviously has no possibility of breaking through from him." Gabriel spoke first.

However, not long after his praise of Ferrara, Ferrara made a fatal mistake - he gave Juventus an own goal!

"Looks like our Gabrie is a crow's beak haha!" Chen Fei quipped. Gabriel had been choking Chen Fei on Laura's issue before, and Chen Fei naturally would not be polite and sneered at each other. Gabriel had to endure it.

However, after that, Chen Fei and all the members of the coaching staff had to admire Lippi's on-the-spot adjustment ability: "Look at this, Baggio has no chance at all, forcing him to pass back!" Adrio saw a successful defense of Baggio by Boulding and admired.

"This fill-in is also great, see?" It turned out that Juventus wanted to go straight forward to find "Pulsatilla" Ravanelli after a steal in the midfield, but was cleared out of the sideline by Coradini, who was in place.

For an hour and a half of the game, Chen Fei took the coaching staff to watch it from beginning to end. Subsequently, everyone made a concluding speech, and everyone found that Lippi's 3-5-2 was balanced in attack and defense, and everyone's running position was more reasonable. Although Napoli's midfield does not have top figures like Gascoigne and Effenberg, the division of labor and running of everyone, as well as the combing of the midfield, do not show any confusion. The coaching staff agreed that Napoli were a tough opponent.

However, when it came to how to target training for Napoli, the coaching staff began to disagree.

"I think when we train next, we should work on the two wings to break through, and when the opponent's two wings press, we have to be responsible for hitting them behind." Adrio offered his opinion.

"I think it's actually a good focus for long-range shots, because long-range shots can put more pressure on the two midfielders in the middle." Pitch spoke his mind.

However, at this time, what no one expected was that captain Fei Long spoke: "I think that at this time, we should use a way that Chen likes very much, which is the inward cut on the side." ”

Chen Fei was very surprised by Fei Long's words just now, because although 3-5-2 was afraid of being beaten in the ribs, although it became a consensus in later generations, in that era, there were not many people who could see through this. Chen Fei really didn't expect that Captain Ferron actually had such an insight: "Fabricio, how did you find out?" Why do you say that? ”

"In fact, we didn't face 3-5-2 once or twice, a lot of opponents liked the 3-5-2 formation, even the strong AC Milan," said Ferron. ”

The other members of the coaching staff also cast curious and envious glances at Fei Long, and Chen Fei encouraged at this time: "Very good, you go on." ”

"But the inside cut that Chen asked them to practice before is really a very good way. After cutting inside, the opponent will fall into a defensive correction, and there may be a situation where several people want to control the player, but they don't manage it well, because everyone is worried that once they go up to hold the player, it will lead to a horizontal gap in the middle of the defense. The in-cut player is facing the middle and facing the direction of the goal, and once the in-cutting player perceives the lateral gap in the middle, it can easily become a good opportunity to counter offside. I don't know what you guys think, but I can see that. ”

Chen Fei took the lead and applauded Ferron: "It's really good, Fabry, indeed, my thoughts are basically the same as yours." So, that's it, let's follow Fabry's idea and practice in-cutting. Fabry, you're responsible for telling your thoughts to your team-mates, what do you think? ”

Chen Fei made a decision, and the other members of the coaching staff naturally did not have any major objections, not to mention that they actually knew that it was useless to oppose Chen Fei at this time, and once Chen Fei's stubborn temper that the eight big horses couldn't pull back came up, they would not be able to listen to different opinions. However, facts have proved that what Chen Fei has insisted on so far has almost all come true without exception. Chen Fei used the knowledge he had accumulated in later generations to conquer the coaching staff. However, it is clear that Lippi's nickname "Silver Fox" is absolutely inseparable from his fox-like cunning and sharp tactical thinking.

After the coaching staff meeting, Chen Fei arranged two-, three-, and four-person undefended in-cut shooting training on the left and right sides according to the expected design ideas, and two-on-two, two-on-three, and three-to-five inward offensive and defensive training. At the same time, we also carried out the long-pass transfer training of the sideline after the in-cut, that is, once you find that there is no chance on this side, you will immediately use your dominant foot to the sideline to make a long pass to the other side of the sideline when cutting inward, and try to attack from the other side of the rib.

It should be that Fei Long played a certain role in the publicity and implementation of his teammates in advance, and the team members did not show too many doubts and dissatisfaction with Chen Fei's intensive training of internal cooperation, and everyone completed every training subject seriously, which made Chen Fei quite pleased.

After a few days of practice, it was finally time for the competition, December 12, 1993. Heading to Sao Paulo, the home of the Devils, on Double 12, will the Atlanta boys be able to get out of the way?
