Section 173 Super Cup
The Italian Super Cup, on August 6, arrived on time.
The Super Cup game has always come very early, at this point in early August, it is unlikely that any team will complete all the pre-season preparations, especially this year is still the World Cup year, all the teams' preliminary training started very late, from the beginning of training, to the arrival of the Super Cup, the period is only about half a month, therefore, in everyone's opinion, Parma, Rome, they are estimated to use last season's lineup in this game.
However, no one expected that when this day really came, whether it was Parma or Rome, the lineup they put out was something they didn't expect.
"What are they all thinking, is such a competition going to be used as a stage for military training?"
Unlike what was expected before the game, Parma's side did not let Yaya Toure and Crespo, who had a game task during the World Cup, play, and the lineup they sent was definitely very strange.
At the back, they didn't make any changes, new signing Thuram didn't play, he sat on the sidelines and watched the game, while Parma used the same backline from last season. But in midfield, they made a huge change. After Parr sold Melo and sent away Tacinadi, their midfield changes could not be smaller, and this time, Parma's use of midfield is quite surprising. They used the combination of Frenkie de Jong, Motta and Keita as a central midfield combination, with Arshavin playing in front of them, Milito in the front line, and Cavani replacing Rossi, which is more surprising.
Parma's tactics seem to have changed a lot. Compared with last season, their attacking line is actually equivalent to only one Milito left, and as for the rest of the frontcourt, almost all of them have changed, such a big change makes fans who watch the team immediately interested.
Like Parma, Rome has changed no small amount. After getting Kluivert, Roma finally had the ability to change their tactics, and in this game, Roma put Kluivert in front, behind him Totti, and then on the two wings, Tadei and Mancini Jr. were on the left and right, followed by De Rossi and Perrotta. Their line of attack, too, has undergone a great change.
No one expected that both teams did not adopt a simple arrangement to play, they both chose to directly replace new players and use new styles of play in key games.
Obviously, the coaches of both sides are very clear that the World Cup has only been half a month, and the players' state has not recovered. The coaches on both sides are betting that they are aware that their teams are not at their best, so they will have to rely on a bold change of formation to fight with their opponents and try to play a situation that their opponents can't handle.
Such an idea is good, but it is a bit risky to change the most powerful part of oneself and fight to the death with the opponent. The approach of both sides can't be a gamble, since the tactics have not been practiced well, then, let's look at the individual ability of the players.
In this game, the recovery of the players is bet, the reinforcements of the teams are bet, the state of the players is bet, and the vision of the coach.
"Roma would dare to gamble like that, and I agree. They have Totti, and gambling is a good option. But it is more incomprehensible that Parma should gamble with them. What the hell was Palma thinking? They're not Roma and their best players are still off the pitch, so it's a real risk. ”
It is undoubtedly a bit risky to dare to put Yaya Toure off the pitch and then form a midfield with new players. The change of Roma can be said to be reasonable, they have been waiting for the striker, and now they really have a striker who can play the fulcrum, who can let them play the football they want, they can change immediately, and they also have a good forward like Totti, to organize the attack for them, but Parma changed the tactics, how do they play?
"Without Yaya Toure, Parma's ability to penetrate will be much weaker, and it will be difficult for them to tear apart Roma's defence, so how can they fight against Roma?"
In the commentary's questioning, the game was also going on, unexpectedly, Parma did not immediately choose to quickly insert the attack, most of their players were in the backfield, slowly passing, such a style of play, obviously not for attack, for control.
Keita and Motta are certainly not as good as Yaya Toure when it comes to impact, but when they play, they are more careful and cautious, not as big as Yaya Toure. Moreover, the skills of these two people are also very good, after they took the ball on the field, they actually relied on the pass to slowly carry out the overall pressure, the two of them are very good at passing back and forth, behind them, De Jong is constantly making up for the position, in case they have any loopholes when they play, between the three people, forming a very close whole.
"Motta's pass...... Passed beautifully. Motta is a player from Barcelona who is truly commendable in his skills. In terms of possession and passing, he did a very good job, and compared to last season, it seems that Parma want to rely more on passing to tidy up the midfield. ”
On the field, Motta still plays quite conspicuously. This is not what Li Bin expected: as a youth player from Barcelona, he does have outstanding points in passing. Li Bin remembers that just last season, because of Xavi's thigh muscle strain, Motta was in Barcelona and also worked as the main player for a long time. How much quality does it take to be a regular player in the Champions League? This is not a difficult problem to analyze. Now, he organizes Parma's passing in midfield, which makes Parma play a little slower, but compared to last season, it is not inferior.
Although Rui is a master of organization, the organizational form of frontcourt organization is still eliminated by modern football. In the front court, you have to face more pressing, in the front court you have to face more trouble, compared to squatting in the back of the organization, in the front of the organization is too dangerous, in the past, Li Bin can not find a good organization of the back, so he had to take risks, but now with Mota, he also dared to let Mota stop.
Keita, next to Motta, is a full jack-of-all-trades player. In midfield, he can do almost anything. In Ligue 1, he can score more than ten goals in a season as a striker, and in La Liga, he can become the core of the midfield organization, and later went to Barcelona, and was used as Xavi's stand-in, known as 'Black Xavi', this player's ability is also trustworthy. Although they haven't worked together much before, they are very good with each other, and the strength of their opponent Rome is not very strong, which makes them form a good cooperation.
It's true that I didn't go to Yaya Toure - Li Bin thought on the sidelines, but in my team, there is a Barcelona in the Dream 2 team, Motta who has a place in the Triple Crown Kingdom, and Keita who is the best player in Ligue 1.
At the beginning of the game, the scene of both sides was a bit chaotic, but as time went on, Parma's midfield advantage grew. In order to strengthen the forward line, Roma weakened the midfield, which also made Parma's offensive start immediately.
After getting the ball once, Keita took a few steps with the ball and kicked it wide with a kick, where Cavani, who received the ball, immediately rushed to the ground.
His skills aren't very good - a big man of 1.84 meters can't kick out the skills of a small player. However, his tall stature also makes his impact look imposing. Parma already has a striker like Milito, and then replaced with a Cavani, which is equivalent to playing the tactics of two center forwards in the front, which can be said to be very fatal to the Roman backline, which is not very thick. As soon as he started running, there was a lot of noise in the Roma backline, and De Rossi immediately moved in to block his onslaught.
However, Cavani's impact was not intended to pose a threat at the back. After a few steps of impact, he kicked the ball down the middle.
He's certainly not the main attacker - although his impact is good, his technique is not delicate enough, and it is impossible to defeat a defensive line by himself. Li Bin asked him to attack, the purpose was also to hope that he could disrupt the back line of Roma, and then, Arshavin, who got the ball, was the team's main attacker.
Last season, he was able to get rid of a lot of bad problems under Rui. This season, Li Bin also changed his tactics in order to make him play better, and now Parma, the midfielders are pressed further back, and after removing Melo and adding Mota, the passing ability is better, so that Arshavin has more room for movement, and he also has a greater possibility of inserting attacks.
After getting a pass from Cavani, Arshavin didn't rush in immediately. Up front, he now has a lot of room to move around, and after getting the pass, he daunts the wing, and when he brings Perrotta over, he has already turned and taken a step towards the middle.
Since it's the core, it's a bit of a core. Arshavin did not cover from the wing, although he knew that he was pulling to the ribs, and if someone cooperated, he might play better, but at this time, he chose to take the ball and harden it from the middle.
He shook twice past Perrotta, and when De Rossi was filling in, Arshavin shook De Rossi with a kick, lifted his foot, and kicked the ball out!
"Beautiful shot!" The narrator couldn't help but open his mouth, "Arshavin did a beautiful job!" ”
Parma 1-0 Roma, this goal, also opened the season.
However, this is not the end, and their attack is far from over. Parma has already attacked again. This time, it was Mota who attacked. At the back, he split the ball and sent it directly to Zabaleta on the right. Zabaleta sped up with the ball and rushed towards the front, and Cavani also ran over to meet his pass.
As a striker, sometimes attitude is more important than ability. As a striker, running aggressively, actively counter-attacking, actively participating in every attack and defense, this is a very tiring thing, and there are very few strikers who are willing to do this. But the strikers who do this are undoubtedly very likable, Liverpool's Kuyt, Bayern's Olic are all such players.
Now, Italy has another Cavani added to the team, and as a South American player, his skills are better, and his running and counter-attacking ability are not inferior at all, which also makes his impact even more unstoppable.
On the right flank, he received a pass from Zabaleta and sprinted towards the ribs. Zabalata, meanwhile, opted to flank from the baseline, and the two men covered up from the right side together. Then, after a beautiful combination, Cavani had already hit the penalty area, and instead of choosing to pass the ball to Milito, who was outflanked in the middle, he raised his foot and kicked the ball out of the corner with a shot from a small angle!
“gooooal!!!! Cavani! The youngster proved that he can play in Serie A! ”
