Making Barcelona despise them is something that Chen Yingying and Cassano have come up with (). As a head coach, you can't expect to rely on this kind of trick to eat.

Therefore, if you want to wrestle with Barcelona away from home, you have to work from both strategic and tactical aspects.

Strategically, it's what Napoli want to achieve on the road. Was it an away goal? Or is it a victory? Or is it a draw? Or is it an acceptable failure?

The first thing is to determine the strategy, and then the tactics.

Strategically speaking, no matter how arrogant Mazzali is, no matter how arrogant he is, he will not be so arrogant as to say that he wants to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou. So the goal he set for the team was a draw, not an acceptable defeat.

The second is the away goal, whether it's a draw or a defeat, and if Napoli can get on the scoresheet, it's even better. Returning to their home stadium in the next leg with away goals in hand will give Napoli more poise and tactical leeway.

Once the strategy is decided, it's time for tactics.

Against a strong team, again on the road. Of course, Napoli will not choose to play against Barcelona at Camp Nou, so there is no suspense that Napoli will play a defensive counter-attack.

The lineup was fine-tuned, from 433 to 4321, and the central midfielder Mazzarri arranged three midfielders to defend Barcelona, while the two wingers Cassano and Arshavin were adducted, and Chen Yingying was at the front. It was a formation that said that Napoli had almost abandoned the wings, and the purpose of doing so was to wrestle with Barcelona in the middle of the midfield.

Of course, Barcelona has Xavi in the middle, and Messi often cuts inside, but their wings are just as good, what to do? Mazzal's strategy was to open up the flanks in midfield, but to defend it when it came to the 30-metre zone.

There are limits to what can be done defensively, because Napoli are not good at defending, and even if they defend at Camp Nou, it is estimated that it is impossible not to concede goals. Therefore, the solution to the problem has to fall on the offensive.

Napoli have an extremely strong attacking force, with four men, Chen Yingying, Arshavin, Hamsik and Cassano making up Napoli's attacking line-up.

In attack, Hamsik moved a little forward, protruding from the back three to become 4231.

In this way, he can make the most of his organizational strengths.

Considering that he will probably be on the defensive most of the time, Mazzari also asked Chen to retreat aggressively, pick up his teammates, and keep a reasonable distance from Hamsik, Arshavin and Cassano.

This retracement is not as simple as turning around and running back, and then turning and running forward. Therefore, this requires Chen Yingying's running ability to be relatively high, not only to have physical strength to run, but also to be able to run to the right position.

Fortunately, Chen Yingying has been practicing with Inzaghi for almost half a season, and he has some experience, and he can be regarded as a small achievement. It was shown in the usual games and training, which is why Mazzarri asked him to do it. Otherwise, he would rather use the simplest and least technical play, that is, a long pass to rush and hang, pass the high ball directly to the front court, and let Chen Yingying use his head to fight for the top.

However, now this set of tactics also makes full use of Chen Yingying's header advantage.

As we all know, Barcelona's backline is very bad in terms of air defense, and after Piqui arrived, they had a bit of air defense.

But it's up to Piqui alone...... It's useless, and besides, Pique's strength is not a header.

Mazzari had carefully studied the footage of Pique's game and decided that Napoli could play with their headers if they wanted to score.

When preparing for this game, he went to ask Chen Yingying ().

"Do you think you and Piquebby header ......"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yingying said in a coaxing tone.

"Finish!"

Mazari grinned, frozen.

"It's over, hehe!" Chen Yingying gave a thumbs up and repeated, still saying with a smile.

"Okay, I got it......" Mazari conceded defeat.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Yingying saying this, because Chen Yingying was really the best header he had ever seen in his coaching career. The judgment of the landing point of the high ball, as well as the use of the body's position, as well as the bouncing ability, header skills, and impact in front of the goal, these Chen Yingying are all first-class...... No, it's super-top-notch.

What's more, after Chen Yingying jumped, he was even able to see the ability to stay in the air that is only outstanding among NBA basketball players!

Having this ability means that he can hit the ball more easily than his opponents.

So according to Chen Yingying's characteristics, high ball has become one of the main means of Napoli's attack.

Especially when the situation can't be opened, it is not ruled out that Cassano and Arshavin will be pulled to the side in the attack, and then cross with his feet, so that Chen Yingying can use his header against Barcelona's backline.

I believe that Pikui will experience the power of Chen Yingxing's header for himself at that time......

※※※

Piqué is experiencing it for himself.

Napoli's pre-match near-flattering overtures to Barcelona, whether or not Guardiola believes it, at least the Barcelona players enjoyed it.

Barcelona were the undisputed kings of the continent last season, having won six titles last year – the domestic league, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Club World Cup. Created an unprecedented "Six Crowns".

It's already the pinnacle of what a club can achieve.

The Barcelona players feel that they have already ruled the world, and it is natural for other opponents to be afraid or praise them when they see them. So they didn't think there was anything wrong with Napoli's performance, maybe they were really numb...... But it doesn't matter, we can afford it well.

So before the game, the Barcelona players who played at home were in a relaxed mood, and even joked that since Napoli was so friendly to them, they would simply win a few fewer goals at home...... Of course, it's really just a joke. When it comes to the pitch, Barcelona will not be relentless if they have a chance.

However, the game was ten minutes into the game, and from the current point of view, it seems that Napoli will not be soft......

"Naples! Arshavin takes the ball from the wing...... Not again! ”

In attack, Arshavin and Cassano will revert to their role as wingers, pulling to the flanks to get the ball up, just like Arshavin is doing right now.

With the commentator's exclamation, the football was kicked into the air by Arshavin before Abidal and flew straight towards the goal!

And what about Chen Yingying?

Open your arms along with the soccer ball and fly!

Yes, it was flew, not jumped.

Pi Kui jumped up with him, but was still pressed under Chen Yingying.

In terms of bouncing ability alone, Pi Kui is not as good as Chen Yingying.

"Hell...... seeing that the other party is above him again, Pi Kui's heart is so angry ()!

This is the second time that I have been pressed under the opponent during the battle for the top!

Ten minutes into the game, Napoli had already had a chance to head in the back of the net when Chen Yingying pressured him to jump for the top and the ball went just over the crossbar.

This time, here it is again, and he also loses again......

"Header to the top!"

With a loud shout from the commentator, Chen Yingying pushed the football towards the goal!

This time it was goalkeeper Valdés who saved the team, and he flew up and lifted the football off the crossbar in a single chapter!

"Woo——!" There was a loud gasp in the stands, and the home fans were terrified.

Chen Yingying, who landed on the ground, clenched his fists with both hands and waved them in front of his chest, his face full of annoyance.

At this time, you can't see what else he has to flatter Barcelona......

※※※

'It was Napoli's second threatening goal in the opening ten minutes! The first time the same header of Chen Yingying! Looks like Napoli is going to make a fuss on the head......"

"When the game started, it was Napoli who was in the driver's seat...... Their attacks are quite sharp, especially in the air. Pi Kui is in charge of defending Chen Yingying, and judging from these two defenses, he may be a little struggling......"

The commentators' eyes widened one by one and exclaimed, unable to believe that this was the situation for the first ten minutes.

They thought Barcelona would surely establish an advantage from the start, take the tempo of the game firmly into their own hands and turn the football upside down. Napoli will then have to run behind the Barcelona players.

In fact, in other competitions, Barcelona did just that. Especially at home.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this game, it was the visiting team Napoli who took the lead in attacking, using a simple and efficient attack to impact Barcelona's defense, and at the same time increasing the defensive efforts in the midfield, pressing Xavi, and then sending De Jong to follow Messi inch by inch, cutting off his connection with other Barcelona players.

It was only ten minutes before Napoli had the upper hand on the field.

Just ten minutes later, the technical statistics of ball possession were played on the screen, and everyone was surprised to find that Napoli and Barcelona were fighting five or five in terms of ball possession!

※※※

Valdés rolled around the ground and jumped up, stretched out his hands and shouted at Pique, "Herard! Herard! Focus, it's been ten minutes since the game started! ”

Piqua waved at him, "I know, I know...... Damn it! He muttered the last foul sentence and didn't let anyone else hear it.

Well, maybe it's really my lack of concentration......

He raised his hands and patted himself on the sun to sober himself up and concentrate in this way.

Alright, boy, don't even think about putting a football on my head next time!

In terms of height, the two are about the same, Chen Yingying is 1.93 meters and Pi Kui is 1.92 meters, but Chen Yingying has a clear advantage in weight.

But Pikui doesn't think that's what made him lose to Chen twice in a row.

The words of goalkeeper Valdés are the correct answer.

When I get serious...... You've got it!
