There are only five minutes to make a complete "switch" to Chen Zhuo's entire tactical thinking mode, and all the efforts made by Chen Zhuo in the first 85 minutes are now tantamount to "lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot"!

"Here's some hint for you! Patton, I'm not going to change your three-back two-layer defense system, I just need to hold zuihou for 5 minutes! Gasperini shouted at Chen Zhuo.

"I don't know if what you're saying is true or not!" Chen Zhuo muttered in a low voice, clapped his hands, brought the players together, and said: "Okay, he's the boss, according to what he said, guys, on the other side, Milaneto has no physical strength, as long as he doesn't give him time to breathe, he'll cramp twice......"

If it's a movie at this time, you can switch the camera directly to the other side, Gasperini is also talking about Milanetto's problem, his deployment is that Dainelli goes to the back midfield position, and Milaneto forms a double back, if someone rushes Milaneto, the two of them will implement the closing tactics, let go of the ball and not let go of people, and leave it to Ranocchia and Halgia to deal with......

"Garson, zuihou 5 minutes you come to mark the central defender! Just keep an eye on this point, and if Milaneto and Dainelli miss the ball after closing the goal, you will be responsible for kicking it out! Halja is parallel to you, and Ranocchia is behind you, so keep your distance from them. Gasperini was able to withdraw Gasperini, who had not yet shown fatigue after 85 minutes, to this position.

The camera pulled back again, and saw that Chen Zhuo's deployment was that the old captain Marco Rossi withdrew and played double central defenders with Kaladze. Veloso and himself stood up in front and back, pushing himself up in the forward midfield position, and now Lucatoni and Ruud van Nistelrooy are basically at their limit, and can only count on the two of them to stretch out space and create opportunities for themselves to shoot from distance.

(b)

No matter how Chen Zhuo plans, when his teammates' physical fitness is close to the limit, no tactics can be implemented! On the other hand, Gasperini played 13 men with more and fewer men, and after removing Garson as a disruptive central defender in defense, Boskjankovic also served as a tactical support point in the forward line. Scully and Hungarian striker Rudolf served as rib strikers.

Tactics now. It is equivalent to Gasperini putting two more people in the midfield on the basis of the 3-4-3 tactical formation, and it becomes a 3-6-3 situation, while building an iron wall in the midfield. The firepower of three offensive players is also retained in the front court.

zuihou results are: Chen Zhuo failed to create a miracle. Instead, Garson broke the ball on the flank with a big foot and was controlled by Zucullini and then made a combination with Palacio, who broke through and crossed, and Boscjankovic headed it to Rudolph. Rudolph didn't get on target when Kaladze was pressed, but it was a classic run and a scramble for Scully, who stabbed home almost as soon as goalkeeper Eduardo's fingertips touched the ball.

"Marko, if you were asked to arrange it, how would you arrange it?" Gasperini asked.

Marcolosi looked at Chen Zhuo and said to Gasperini: "I will let Patton defend, long pass to the left and right wing-backs, and they will perform wide breaks and low crosses......

"Yes, Patton, I'm going to do the same, but I know you're going to put yourself in a midfield position and want to play your long-range shot or break through for a free-kick, OK?" Gasperini said.

Chen Zhuo wiped his sweat, nodded his head lightly, and said: "Head, captain, I probably understand what you mean, in fact, the captain reminded me to fly with both wings, but zuihou I insisted, and the captain did not object...... But, coach, I was ......"

"You thought your long-range shot and the free-kick were a shortcut to the problem! Is that right? As a result, I sent Garson to sweep on the back line and didn't give you a chance! The key question is, you gave up on the team playing 85 minutes, right? Gasperini gestured and said, "Patton, remember, when you wear down your opponent tactically, your opponent also responds tactically!" ”

"If I didn't tell you when I sent you on the pitch that I was going to change my tactics, you should continue to stick to this tactical routine, you think about it from a different angle, as soon as I went over, I adjusted the defensive system to a defensive system aimed at you, that is, to strengthen the middle, if you continue to use both wings to fly together, let Lucatoni and Ruud van Nistelrooy take turns to attack, my adjustment will lose its pertinence!"

When listening to Gasperini's speech, Chen Zhuo was also thinking seriously, if he thought about it after receiving the coach's instructions, he just used his long-range shooting ability as a tactical containment to induce the opponent to strengthen his defense, so that he could create more opportunities for his teammates by pulling, and he could let this set of wings fly together to support the twin towers to exert their power!

(c)

Gasperini patted Chen Zhuo's shoulder and said: "Take a good look at what I mean, the twin towers tactic is not only against Fiorentina, I also have an idea Patton, I want to use this tactic to consume with Milan, wait until Zuihou is ten minutes old to send you on the field, but not with your long-range shot as the offensive core, but to play your long passing ability, just like ...... Kamori Zuihou did that! ”

Chen Zhuo listened carefully, he understood and understood what Gasperini meant, when Chen Zhuo's long-range shots and free kicks became the main content of the Serie A team's main defensive arrangement, then they were bound to strengthen the defense in the middle and avoid fouls in the backcourt, so Genoa can consider the breakthrough to the bottom line with the side and ribs as the main attack point according to the principle of avoiding the real and attacking the false!

Therefore, this "twin tower tactic" of flying together in the middle of the wings will force the opponent to make a choice, if it is changed to a side defense to strengthen, Chen Zhuo can be inserted in the back row, if it is not changed, the "twin towers" of Tony + Vanney will inevitably be able to explode with great power after a period of running-in!

Whether it is the "sea chasing tactics" or the "twin tower tactics", they are all tactics that allow Chen Zhuo to play his advantage in the backfield with accurate long passes, and this set of tactics will also use Chen Zhuo's long-range shots and free kicks to make the opponent be restrained in the arrangement! And when Chen Zhuo needs to take a proper rest in a dense event, he will also let this kind of containment cause the opponent to make mistakes. So as to achieve the goal of "surrendering the army without a fight".

It seems that the "Art of War" had a great influence on Gasperini, and it was also very effective, in a popular phrase, there was a very strong "positive energy".

"Gasperini pulled Garson off as a sweeping centre-back, and he played well? That's kind of interesting. Hearing Chen Zhuo's report on the training in the past few days, Baggio seemed to have some thoughts.

In yesterday's game, Hong Kong lost 1-3 to Vicenza U17s, and it is clear that Hong Kong still have big problems defensively, scoring two goals against amateur teams. This time against the third echelon of Vicenza. was poured into three goals, this gap is not a star and a half, of course, there is no Chen Zhuo's Hong Kong team. The Hong Kong team after integrating into the tactical system with Chen Zhuo. It has to be two different teams.

Although I did not participate in joint training. But after coming to Italy, Baggio and Chen Zhuo had to talk on the phone every day, on the one hand, to let Chen Zhuo, as an assistant coach, know the team's current training progress. On the other hand, Baggio, the young coach, should fully understand the various dynamics of the "Chen core" of the Hong Kong team.

"Yesterday and today, I played three simulated confrontations in two days, and each time I let Garson play for a few minutes to mark the central defender, and the effect was good, the double back closed, Garson swept, another marking central defender filled the position, and the trailburser who dragged behind sat in command ......," Chen Zhuo introduced.

Baggio interrupted Chen Zhuo's words and asked: "You said that in the past two days, your coaching staff has strengthened the systematic practice of Garson dribbling on the side, how is the practice?" ”

Chen Zhuo said: "This is not so fast, but Garson is now doing additional exercises every day in combination with the training content of the ankle exercises you arranged, and Rebecca also uses electroacupuncture to help him recover from muscle fatigue every day, and there is still progress." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll call him in a moment and hear what he thinks." Baggio expressed satisfaction with the progress of Chen Zhuo and Garson's training, and then asked: "Patton, have you made any progress with the Chinese players?" ”

Chen Zhuo said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank Garson, he showed the celebration of the Hong Kong Bauhinia regional flag after scoring a goal against Parma in the European Chinese circle, and many non-sports newspapers in the Chinese gathering area have reported, listen to Leonie said, now some European Chinese enterprises, especially Hong Kong Chinese enterprises, several have quoted through Leonie, and want to ask Garson to be the spokesperson, no, I am talking to Rong Aping of the Netherlands, Xie Jiaqiang of the Premier League, and Lin Zhijian and Bobbiwood of Germany when talking on the phone, It's all about Garson......"

"Very good, haha, very good, that is, it works well!" Baggio asked with a smile.

Chen Zhuo said: "Xiaoxiao, oh, it's that Taiwanese girl, she hasn't come back yet, she said a few words on the phone, now Xie Jiaqiang is basically very interested personally, he will fly over when the team arrives in Italy, and then Mr. Huo can officially let the Hong Kong FA talk to him." However, Belgium's Chen Changyuan is hopeless, he went to Taiwan in June this year, and listened to Xiaoxiao say that Chen Changyuan met the head of the public relations media team of the Taiwan Football Association when he played online football last year, and because his mother is Taiwanese, Chen Changyuan has accepted the invitation of the Taiwan Football Association, and I don't know if there will be news recently......"

"Chen-Chang-Yuan, oh, it's the handsome guy who looks like a young version of Chino Reeves, it's a pity to think about it." Baggio said with some regret.

"Speaking of which, Robert, I have an idea for you!" Chen Zhuo said: "Robert, if you combine the current situation of the Hong Kong team, integrate the two-level three-back style of play, and use this method to strengthen the defense of the Hong Kong team during the Asian Games, do you think there is any value in considering?" ”

Baggio pondered for a while, and said while thinking: "If Rong Aping and Xie Jiaqiang can sign up successfully, one with one left foot and one with the right foot, both have a certain area defense ability, and adjust the two of them to mark the central defenders, then the two of them not only have the ability to sweep, but the elastic defense system can basically be realized...... HaodePatton, I'll think about your suggestion, and I'll discuss it with you again when I train in Europe this time. ”

After a 4-2 win over Genoa Estudiantes and a 3-1 defeat to Vicenza Youth, Baggio contacted Vicenza's reserve team for the third division on the third day, and Hong Kong lost another game 2-0, leaving the defence useless in front of the Italian third-division teams.

For Chen Zhuo's suggestion, Baggio thinks that it can be considered, the current double central defender parallel position, double center back front and rear position and three back parallel positions have been tried, Chen Zhuo said this "retro 3-5-2", but you might as well give it a try!

After just a few days of drills and personnel adjustments to the Twin Towers, Gasperini finally assigned Chen Zhuo a new position in this lineup, left midfield.

The starting twin tower Ruud vanney was slightly to the left and Lucatoni was slightly to the right.

The starting four midfielders, from left to right, were Chen Zhuo, Veloso, Marco Rossi and Raphinha, starting in parallel positions.

The starting back four, from left to right, were Kaladze, Ranocchia, Dainelli and Tomovic, with Ranocchia and the Fiorentina captain also playing in parallel.

In terms of "flying on both wings", Gasperini's offensive focus today is obviously on the left side, and it is okay to say that it is the Milan combination of "Kaladze-Chen Zhuo-Vanney", and it is okay to say that it is "Chen Zhuo-Vanney", a pair of Hamburg double stars and a Milan old gun, in short, Gasperini's arrangement has aroused great interest from fans and the media.

From Hamburg to Genoa, although Chen Zhuo has also played on the wing, relatively speaking, he still performs more brilliantly in the middle, whether it is a front midfielder, a midfielder, a central defender, or a rib attacker, it is conducive to giving full play to the great power of his long-range shots in the back row.

"Don't be fooled by your opponent's moves!" Del Rio Rossi arranged at the pre-match preparation meeting: "Gasperini is not so confused as to give up the Chinese's long-range shooting ability, and Genoa is not so luxurious!" Therefore, Patton's in-cut line is what we need to focus on, not letting him shoot from a distance, not giving them a chance to take a free kick within 35 meters, which is still the focus of defending Genoa! ”

Rio Rossi's arrangement cannot be said to be wrong in theory, after all, in the first three rounds, three of Genoa's six goals came from Chen Zhuo. (To be continued......)
