Bari are not a particularly well-known team in Serie A, but are also a mid-table or fringe team in terms of quality, having been relegated in 2001 and stumbling in the second division for seven years, finally winning Serie A in 2008/09 as Serie B champions and finishing 10th in the league in their second season after promotion.

A year ago, FC Bari was acquired by JMJ Holdings in Texas, USA, becoming the first foreign-owned club in Serie A, ending the 32-year control of the club by the Italian Matarese family.

For Genoa, they don't have much in common with the Bari team, but the games of the past two seasons have been found by the media, that is, the coach of the Bari team, Ventura, is a retired player of Genoa's rival Sampdoria, and has been the youth team coach and first-team assistant coach of Sampdoria for a long time, and has also served as the coach of the Sampdoria team.

In last season's match between the two teams, Genoa were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Bari and lost 3-0 away at Bari, and this game was again regarded as Gasbellini's revenge.

Last season's Bari team conceded the fewest goals in Serie A in the first half of the season, and the biggest contributor to their success was that Bari boasted two Italian international centre-backs, Ranocchia and Leonardo Bonucci.

Ranocchia is now Genoa's main centre-back, Ranocchia, but in the national team. Ranocchia was the substitute, but Bonucci was the main player, and just over half a month ago, in the European Championship qualifiers between Italy and Estonia on September 4, 2010, Bonucci received a back-heel pass from Cassano and pushed it into the net with his right foot to help the Italian team complete the comeback.

That's why last season's promoted Barry finished 10th in the league, but this season, the new American boss clearly has no ambition to invest heavily in building a dynasty, just in the summer. Genoa have reclaimed centre-back Ranocchia, who had been on loan last season. Juventus bought Bonucci for 15.5 million euros, and Barry lost both of its pillars.

Ranocchia was born in 1988 and Leonardo Bonucci in 1987, and the 22-year-old has been half-owned by Inter Milan. Half a foot into the giants.

However, Bonucci is also a player that Inter Milan has given up. The player, who has never been looked upon by Jose Mourinho, has been loaned to Treviso by Jose Mourinho for two consecutive years. Sold to Bari for €2 million in August 2009, the two prodigies of Ranokia and Leonardo Bonucci were stunning during the Barry season. At the age of 23, Leonardo Bonucci became the main centre-back of Juventus and the Italian national team.

Of course, it is also the fate of a small club like Barry to send talented players to a more haode platform, otherwise, if you stay in the Bari team for a long time, the talent will be wasted.

Bari's Belarusian striker Vitaly Kutuzov was once considered a talent, born in 1980, he was brought to AC Milan by scouts at the age of 19 after making a name for himself in the Belarusian league for a transfer fee of 3.5 million euros, and then Milan loaned Kutuzov to Sporting Lisbon and Avellino for three seasons, but finally gave him up and sold him to Sampdoria for 1.5 million euros in 2004.

Having said that, Genoa is Milan's satellite team, and Sampdoria is Juventus's satellite team, so why didn't Milan sell to Genoa, but let Sampdoria take advantage of it?

After buying it, I found out that it was not like that, Jishu was indeed good, but the physical fitness was also great, but Kutuzov had the common problem of "nouveau riche" after Eastern European players came to the big league, drinking heavily, playing at night, not paying attention to training, thinking that he had achieved fame and could lie on the credit book and sit back and enjoy it......

Three seasons later, Sampdoria sold Kutuzov to Parma for 500,000 euros, and Parma, who he had not been able to use, loaned him to second division club Pisa until 2009, when he moved to Bari on a free transfer.

Kutuzov who went to Bari is 29 years old, and at this time he should not be young and frivolous, and he also wants to recover the lost time, but at this time Kutuzov's body has been deformed, and he has gained about 15 kilograms more than when he first drove in Italy.

Ventura is a great coach, not only inspiring Ranocchia and Bonucci at the back, but also awakening a decade-old "genius", with Kutuzov scoring against Inter Milan and AC Milan last season, and contributing nine goals and five assists throughout the season.

If a 20-year-old player comes up with this statistic, it is another story, and the current Kutuzov is just getting himself another season of contract and a higher salary.

Another striker, 25-year-old Brazilian player Barreto, the top scorer in the second division of the promotion season, scored 14 goals for the Bari team last season, wearing the number 10 of the Bari team, such a level has not been favored by the Brazilian national team, it is also a normal thing, among all Brazilian players, Barreto's data is also a second-rate or even third-rate level.

The team's midfield centrepiece, Amiron, is also 30 years old, and in 2006/07 he was at the heart of Empoli, leading the team to the UEFA Cup, and at the end of the season, Amiron joined Juventus for 9 million euros.

However, after a season's attempt, Juventus found that Amiron was more suitable to serve as the core of the middle and lower teams, so he was loaned to Monaco and Fiorentina successively.

That's the overall strength of the Barry team this season, and Coach Ventura hasn't produced any other exciting newcomers so far.

In the first five rounds of the league, the Barry team killed Juventus 1:0 in the first round, I don't know if this is because the new American owner does not understand the rules or the Juventus team is too careless, generally speaking, at the beginning of the season, let the giants save points first, and then the key relegation battle, the giants then operate the victory or loss or draw between the satellite teams, as well as the critical moment to send their own points, actually the first game on the "water", Americans are indeed not suitable for football, or to engage in rugby and the NBA!

Next, Bari drew 2:2 away to Napoli in the second round, drew 0:0 at home to Cagliari in the third round, and lost 0:4 to Inter Milan in the fourth round...... I don't know if Juventus is angry at this time, are you my satellite team or Inter Milan's satellite team?

In the fifth round, Barry defeated second-ranked Brescia 2-1 at home, accumulating 8 points with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and AC Milan on the same points.

In the rest of the round, AC Milan faced Parma away, and if they continue to use the tactics of running up to deal with the aging Parma, there will be no suspense in winning this three points.

The biggest hotspot in this round is probably Inter Milan's home game against Juventus, which has ended in a draw for most of the time, and the biggest beneficiary of this result is undoubtedly AC Milan.

Third-placed Lazio and fourth-placed Brescia also come together, and as long as Milan win this game, whoever loses these two teams will be squeezed behind by Milan.

In this round of the game, Gasperini's initial arrangement is still a two-tower battle formation, Chen Zhuo plays the front midfield, without thinking too much about defensive issues, and he commands the team to attack aggressively and take offense as defense.

The reason for this arrangement is that, on the one hand, the partnership of Veloso and Marcorosi will not have a problem guarding against Amirlon, and on the other hand, Bari's forward partners Barreto and Kutuzov, and in Gasperini's view, the defensive system with the partnership of Ranocchia and Dainelli as the core is completely able to prevent.

After the game against Milan, Gasperini and the coaching staff also made an analysis, and everyone unanimously concluded that in the game against Milan, Chen Zhuo spent too much energy on Ibrahimovic, resulting in him not playing at all in the offensive end!

If the second half had been set up by the coaching staff instead of Chen Zhuo, a more aggressive tactic might have been adopted, as Chen Zhuo had arranged for more than ten minutes in Zuihou, with two players pinching Ibrahimovic, freeing up Chen Zhuo to participate in the tackles against other players and organising Genoa's attack.

The coaching staff's point of view is that Chen Zhuo is indeed good defensively, but in terms of personal ability, he is not necessarily better than Ranocchia, and even compared with the old Fiorentina captain Dainelli, that is, it is comparable, but on the offensive end, especially his long passes and long shots, it is too wasteful not to play!

Gasperini also agreed, arranging Chen Zhuo to stare at Ibrahimovic in the midfield position, and the two canceled each other's power, but Ibrahimovic was originally a tactical support point, although he was not able to dribble and shoot, but the function of the midfield hub still existed.

In comparison, Chen Zhuo's jishu characteristics have not been played at all, and he has not even formed a deterrent and containment of other players in Milan.

(f)

Not only is Gasperini summing up, but the coaching staff of the Hong Kong team, including Baggio, is also summing up, and Baggio is also aware of the idea that Gasperini and the Genoa coaching staff thought of that Chen Zhuo should be used more on the offensive end.

Baggio also analyzed Chen Zhuo's game in Hamburg, whether it was the traditional 4-4-2 style of play, or the "double hinge + double free man" designed by Chen Zhuo later, Chen Zhuo was in the position of the offensive and defensive conversion hub in his tactics!

Baggio thought that this was an obvious "blind spot", when Genoa faced the strong team of Milan, and when the Hong Kong team faced Genoa, which was far superior to him, Gasperini and himself ignored the important positioning of "offensive and defensive conversion hub" in tactical design!
