I don't just score goals

St Paul's Stadium.

After the first battle began, Naples and Juventus did not open up the rhythm to start a battle.

That's not the style of Serie A teams.

The tentative attacks from both sides were carried out in a orderly manner.

Hao Qiang was surrounded by Vidal, Pepe, and three defenders in the frontcourt.

This is too common.

The man who leads the Serie A scorer list will be closely monitored by his opponents wherever he goes.

This environment forced Hao Qiang to increase his running range, pay attention to changes in the situation on the field at all times, seize fleeting opportunities to respond, and make the most correct decision to handle the ball in a split second.

After the trial period passed, Naples obviously ran more smoothly than Juventus.

They have played a 3-back system for several years, and have also experienced several battles this season to strengthen their running-in and improvement.

Juventus changed their formation today, as if they were feeding war with war.

Therefore, the pace is slightly slower than that of Naples.

It seems that each player needs more observation to determine the position of his teammates when handling the ball, instead of being able to know where his teammates will appear almost with his eyes closed like Naples.

In terms of technical and tactical circuits, Naples has more experience and stronger execution efficiency.

Hao Qiang frequently stepped in to support Zuniga and Ma Qiao.

The center was left to Pandev and Hamsik.

When he pulls to the side to support, he can help the team create a very obvious advantage of sudden pressure from the side.

In the 17th minute of the game, after Hao Qiang and Maggio hit the wall on the right, when faced with Chiellini's pressing, he took control of the ball and retreated to the side, and suddenly knocked the ball behind him with his heel.

When Chiellini turned around, Maggio had already cut inside and entered the penalty area.

Juventus's defense suddenly became chaotic.

When Bonucci rushed to intercept, Pandev was outflanked in the middle and Barzagli pressed for defense.

Maggio passed the ball back in an inverted triangle. Hamsik advanced into the penalty area and stopped. As soon as he changed direction, Vidal extended his leg from behind and tripped him to the ground.

The referee blows the whistle for a foul and points to the penalty spot.

Buffon came up to argue with the referee, not necessarily to clear Vidal's name, but to exert unilateral pressure. He hoped that after this penalty kick, the referee would turn a blind eye to Juventus.

The Naples fans in the audience were extremely excited.

Everyone actually expected Hao Qiang to take the penalty kick.

After all, Hao Qiang's shooting skills are already recognized as top level.

But the first penalty taker in the Naples team is Hamsik.

Hao Qiang has never objected to this.

Maybe Vidal understands it very well.

Last season he scored in double figures in the Bundesliga, half of which were penalty kicks.

With everyone watching, Hamsik took the penalty, and after the whistle blew, the football flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

Incredibly, Buffon's prediction was correct!

Saved the ball with one palm while moving and saved the ball from the baseline!

The San Paolo Stadium echoed with cheers from Juventus fans.

The goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon becomes more and more demonic as he gets older!

Hamsik gritted his teeth and lowered his head. The battle at the top of the list was definitely very damaging to morale.

Hao Qiang went over and touched his head to reassure him.

Just a penalty kick.

Hamsik raised his head and rubbed his face, cheering up again.

Conte was excited on the sidelines.

But it may be that the disadvantages on the scene are ignored and the situation is not optimistic.

Mazzarri did not show any negative emotions because of Hamsik's flying point.

He didn't even make any moves.

The morale of Juventus has improved a lot, but there is still a question whether the state has improved.

While they were still finding their feeling and rhythm, Hao Qiang was already playing well on the wing.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Hao Qiang, who came to the left, received a pass from Pandev and then dribbled forward to beat Barzagli in singles. However, the opponent retreated cautiously and fought back.

The purpose is to compress the space and delay Hao Qiang.

Watching Pepe come back to help defend.

Plus Lichtsteiner ran wildly to press the ball.

Hao Qiang stopped suddenly and stepped back while quickly passing the ball diagonally back to the side area.

Zuniga stopped the ball on the wing and made a pass.

Pandev pressed the Juventus defense in the middle of the penalty area and retreated to the small penalty area.

But Zuniga's cross landed in front of the penalty spot.

The Juventus defender was too slow to step forward to clear the ball.

A figure suddenly rushed into the penalty area and charged towards the goal against the falling football!

Hamsik!

The football flew from bottom to top towards the upper left corner of Juventus' goal.

Buffon was caught off guard, and his hasty save was just a hair’s breadth away from football.

Bang!

The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!

Sao Paulo Stadium suddenly burst into cheers like a tsunami.

"Hamsik! Make atonement! Naples played with strong momentum at home, and the overall offensive idea is very clear.

Hao Qiang was tightly guarded in the middle and it was difficult to perform, so he went to the wing to support the attack and constantly created opportunities.

After Juventus changed to a 3-back system, obvious flaws appeared in the rib defense.

If this situation is not improved, Juventus is likely to be overwhelmed by Napoli's successive wing attacks.

Napoli 1:0 Juventus.”

Hamsik was extremely excited, and his goal after the flying point was like a self-salvation.

When Hao Qiang ran to congratulate him, the two jumped up and bumped their chests. After bouncing off and landing, they hugged each other and laughed.

A confident smile appeared on Mazzarri's face.

Conte's expression was a bit ugly.

In terms of technical and tactical skills of the three-back system, there is no doubt that Naples is at the forefront of Serie A.

Especially after Hao Qiang joined.

Juventus has a strong team and its personnel have high technical and tactical qualities.

Even if they can catch up from behind, they still need to accumulate practical experience and time to master it.

The trend of the game is very unfavorable to Juventus.

The tricky thing now is to solve the trouble on the wing.

So the 3-back system turned into a 5-back system.

Lichtsteiner and Estegaribbia dropped deep into the backcourt to strengthen their connection with the back line.

Juventus' offense began to falter.

However, when switching postures, Pirlo stood out.

Frequently use medium and long passes to initiate fast breaks, with a wide field of vision, good passing route selection first, and try to attack the weak points of Naples' defense as much as possible, as well as teammates with better contact space.

Secondly, he passes the ball accurately, making Vucinic or Matri very comfortable in the frontcourt.

Hao Qiang looked at Pirlo's long pass and his heart was filled with desire.

It’s not that I want to have such accurate mid-to-long-distance passing skills and organizational abilities.

But I hope I have a teammate like this.

Having a midfield organizer who can pass the ball accurately will undoubtedly make the forward players perform better.

Juventus' offense was able to improve, but it was only able to complete the offense, but failed to provide exquisite coordination to catch the Naples defense off guard.

Juventus tightened their wing defense, although it did cause a lot of trouble for Naples' offense.

The offensive and defensive duel situation became stalemate.

It's like endless restrictions.

But Naples overall operates more efficiently.

Hamsik and Inler took long shots in front of the penalty area one after another, and Buffon frequently made high passes to block the ball, showing his true qualities as a goalkeeper.

When the game became stalemate again, in the 42nd minute of the game, Hao Qiang came to the right to receive Hamsik's pass and missed the ball and turned around to get rid of Chiellini.

After Chiellini turned around and put a tackle to block his route to the inside, Hao Qiang was forced to control the ball and retreat.

At this time, Estigarribia came from behind, and Hao Qiang had to pass the ball back in an inverted triangle.

Hamsik advanced into the penalty area, and Inler controlled the ball outside the penalty area. Pirlo blocked his through line with a frontal interception, and Inler passed the ball across the right.

Maggio touched the ball and passed the ball.

The mid-high ball went around the back line and caught the Juventus defense off guard.

Bonucci was marking Hamsik head-on, but the ball flew past him, and it was too late to turn around and intercept.

As soon as his eyes turned, he saw Pandev rushing to the goal one step faster than Barzagli, and sent the ball into the goal with a kick.

Buffon was dealt a blow, and the goalkeeper was helpless!

Napoli 2:0 Juventus.

Mazari clapped his hands and applauded, now he is more stable!

When the Naples players went to celebrate, Conte was expressionless on the sidelines.

If we were worried when we were one goal behind, now we are two goals behind and we are heading towards defeat.

The situation forces us to open our minds.

Juventus can't be too timid.

If the formation is changed, the core technical and tactical thinking will not be changed.

So in fact, it is just changing the soup but not the medicine.

Juventus will definitely remain on the same path as before.

Halftime is over.

Napoli went into the locker room with a two-goal lead.

The overall pressure on the team was not great, and what they saw was that Juventus was a bit messy and panicked.

Obviously looking for a rhythm.

Mazzarri felt that he was just teaching Conte a lesson today.

You want to let the opponent understand that Naples can't be strong without just setting up a 3-back formation.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Juventus' overall defense is still shrinking in the backcourt.

Napoli continues to play steadily.

It seems calm, but in reality there is a turbulent undercurrent.

In the 50th minute of the game, Pirlo made a long pass from the top of the penalty area in the backcourt to find Vucinic who was stretched out in the frontcourt.

Estegaribbia on the left rushed to the frontcourt to receive the ball, and then passed the ball diagonally to the center.

Vidal also rushed in, stopped and passed Gargano, and then passed the ball directly into the penalty area.

Vucinic's inward cut attracted attention, but Matri quietly went around and received Vidal's pass behind Campanaro, posing a fatal threat.

After stopping the ball and adjusting, he shot on the spot and the football flew straight to the top of the near corner of the goal.

DeSanctis' save failed to seal the angle.

The ball goes in.

Juventus pulled a goal back.

Conte raised his arms and shouted.

The morale of the Juventus team is greatly boosted!

Mazari looked slightly solemn.

In this wave of attacks just now, Juventus has made changes on the offensive end.

The adjustments on both offense and defense are still obvious.

Although it is also a 3-back system, it is more flexible in the use of wing positions.

One defense and one defense, switching in turns.

Pirlo's role was highlighted. He made long passes to initiate the offensive, then turned around in the frontcourt to organize a threatening offensive.

The midfielder intervenes to form an unexpected impact, and finally delivers artillery shells to the front line.

Conte seemed to grow through the first half.

Juventus are no rookies either.

In the first half, even though the situation was passive, the goal was penetrated twice.

But the whole process allows them to gain experience and lessons. The players' own fine-tuning is superimposed, coupled with the coach's on-the-spot command and dispatch. As long as the response is quick enough, it is not unreasonable for Juventus to quickly improve their combat effectiveness.

Juventus' changes make Napoli afraid.

The stance became more cautious after kick-off.

The scene fell into a stalemate.

Check each other and confront each other tit for tat.

Hao Qiang and Pan Defu couldn't create excellent shooting opportunities in the frontcourt, and their sporadic long-range shots were a bit like trying their luck to win the lottery.

What surprised Mazzarri was that Juventus continued to grow during this tug-of-war, striving to achieve a balance between offense and defense and move freely.

What is this concept?

Too much investment in offense, although strong, will bring hidden dangers to defense.

If the defense invests too much, even if it is very stable, it will make the offense weak.

Almost all coaches strive for balance.

But this balance is not just achieved by the positioning of how many defensive players and how many offensive players.

The game situation is ever-changing and unpredictable.

The idea that the coach instills into the players is the core, and the player's own on-the-spot adaptability and how to adjust the investment on both offense and defense need to be mastered by each player.

In terms of technical and tactical quality and experience, Juventus is obviously stronger than Naples.

They have experienced more scenes and battles.

Especially the core level Pirlo, he also has the ability to control the rhythm of the whole game.

When is it fast and when is it slow?

The skill is perfect.

The situation is good, and if you play quickly to improve efficiency, even if you take the risk, it's worth it.

If the situation is not good, control the tempo, slow down so that teammates can stabilize their minds, readjust their roles and positions, and observe the overall situation clearly.

What Pirlo does is not just a simple job of passing a good ball, otherwise he would not have been the core organizer of AC Milan and dominated the football world for more than ten years.

Juventus gradually began to compete with Naples on the scene.

Mazari felt a little worried.

The more frequent defensive dangers made him realize that Juventus' growth may be closely related to their correct line selection.

Although Conte has little coaching experience, he is definitely not a mediocre coach with no ideas.

Dare to change the formation in today's top battle, it must be after careful consideration.

Even if there is an element of gambling, the current overall performance trend of Juventus means that he probably won the bet.

It is difficult for Naples to create excellent opportunities through teamwork on the scene.

In this case, the star must stand up.

Hao Qiang did his part.

Take an ordinary card, and then start a personal rush mode in the frontcourt.

Italy's chain defense meant that he was frequently intercepted or fouled during dribbling attacks.

Until the 71st minute of the game.

Zuniga passed the ball from the left to the left side of the penalty area.

Hao Qiang stepped forward quickly and took the lead in blocking the position.

After blocking Barzagli, he raised his long legs and unloaded the ball perfectly in mid-air.

After landing, he turned around and turned toward the goal. Barzagli quickly turned around and tried to block the line.

Unexpectedly, Hao Qiang turned around and retracted his center of gravity. His feet had not touched the ball before. At this time, he turned around and retreated to get rid of Barzagli!

Bonucci and Chiellini rushed towards Hao Qiang together.

Hao Qiang made an emergency stop to pull the ball and took half a step back, dodging Vidal's counterattack.

At this time, he had almost no shooting angle.

Seeing that he was surrounded by enemies from all sides, Hao Qiang flicked his ankle and the football was sent behind Barzagli.

Barzagli just rushed forward but suddenly stopped and turned around. Unexpectedly, Hao Qiang actually went and came back to send a through ball!

Pandev cut in behind Barzagli and hit the ball directly into the goal.

The football flew towards the far corner of the goal, but Buffon landed slowly.

After falling to the ground, he saw the football rushing into the far corner of the goal, and he immediately covered his face and sighed.

Napoli 3:1 Juventus!
