Four Hundred and Ninety-Nine Advance to the Final

Three, two, one...beep!

With the whistle of the referee, all Naples players rushed towards the Manchester United half.

At this moment, for no reason, Gao Shen who was standing on the sidelines suddenly heard the brisk and rhythmic Spanish music he had heard in the Casa Juan barbecue restaurant in Madrid.

He felt that his players seemed to be carrying the rhythm of some kind of music, shuttling quickly on the court, every time they ran, every time they pressed, they seemed to be stepping on the point of the music.

Mood changed!

Gao Shen felt that my mood was really relaxed.

In the past period of time, all the pressure brought about by Ferguson completely disappeared in this game.

It's like a sublimation.

He believed that even if he met Ferguson again in the future, he would not be the same as before.

Some things have been experienced, and they will not let it happen again.

On the pitch, the Naples players caught Manchester United's midfielder putting pressure from the very beginning and pushed the defense directly across the center line.

When it comes to pressing and oppressing at high positions, looking at European football, Naples is definitely the top.

Even Barcelona may not be able to achieve the same effect as Naples.

Serie A teams are tougher.

After the first round, Ferguson once asked Gao Shen, why didn't he attack?

Gao Shen didn't answer at that time.

And now, he can tell Ferguson: The Naples attack you are looking forward to is coming!

The two-to-zero lead made the Naples players more confident, calm and confident, and more resolute and thorough in implementing the team's tactics, and Gao Shen also gave clear instructions.

If he doesn't shout to retreat, no one should retreat!

Therefore, they all pressed forward without any worries.

Naples' high-position pressing made Manchester United, which was not very capable of passing and receiving the ball, suddenly become full of mistakes, and the number of passing and receiving errors immediately increased.

As soon as the ball was grabbed, Naples immediately launched a counterattack, and Manchester United had to turn to defense.

Gradually, the Red Devils also began to become passive in the situation.

...

From the beginning of the second half, Ferguson watched the game through gritted teeth.

He suddenly discovered that Feng Shui took turns.

In the first half, the tactics he used against Naples were returned intact by Gao Shen in the second half.

book

Even, his current situation is worse than Gao Shen's opening.

Because he has to score three goals.

Time is very unfavorable to Manchester United. If they continue to be suppressed like this, Manchester United will not be able to play a threatening counterattack at all.

The two flanks of Rooney and Nani had to actively retreat, and Berbatov and Ronaldo also retreated.

In terms of situation, Manchester United is really passive.

A long pass behind you?

Yes, there is a large space behind Naples.

But the premise is that there must be a long pass.

Now that Naples lost the ball, they immediately invested in a counterattack, almost desperately counterattacking, making it difficult for Manchester United players to have a chance to launch a long pass. Even if they kicked in a hurry, it would become a big kick, and the accuracy rate was pitifully low , It is also difficult for Berbatov and Ronaldo in front to catch such a ball.

If Manchester United has sufficient technical skills, they should pass the ball as soon as possible after grabbing the ball, pour the ball into the gap, and then launch an attack with a long pass. But among the Manchester United midfielders, except for one Carrick, the others are basically It is very difficult to pass quickly under such a high pressure. Once you fall, you will make a mistake. Once you make a mistake, Naples will quickly counterattack. Manchester United will start to defend again.

This is also the tactic that Naples has made the entire European football world and many teams fearful in the past few years.

Even in Italy, the kingdom of tactics, it is hailed as a tactical revolution with advanced ideas.

Is there a way?

Yes, like Guus Hiddink's Chelsea, guard against death.

But Manchester United must score at least three goals in the second half.

Ferguson was extremely unwilling,

But I have to admit that Naples is showing its sharpness now, and he can only let Manchester United switch to defense, just like when Gao Shen made decisive adjustments at the beginning.

I'm waiting for you!

See how long you can last in this fast-paced game!

...

When it was almost sixty minutes, Hamsik ran out to warm up.

This is a signal for a deep substitution.

But when to change, Ferguson himself does not know.

From the beginning of the second half, Rakitic tried his best to output, almost leaving no effort.

It formed a desperate pressure on Carrick and Fletcher. Together with Cavani, Di Maria and Sanchez in front of them, it formed a high pressure on Manchester United's midfield and backcourt, making it impossible for Manchester United to pass the ball. .

But after playing for an hour, Rakitic also began to show signs of fatigue.

In the 63rd minute, Gao Shen made the first substitution, and Hamsik replaced Rakitic.

Naples' formation has also made some adjustments, adopting a position similar to four-two-three-one, but in fact, the front trident is still at the top, midfielder Hamsik is on the left, and Bigley Ya is relatively far behind on the right, with Thiago Motta trailing behind.

Don't look at Hamsik's mohawk and big flower arms, he thinks this kid is a reckless man.

On the contrary, Hamsik's foot skills are excellent, and he is best at passing with one foot and attacking from behind.

Over the years, under the advanced training, his pressing ability is also very strong, and his running is excellent.

This season is more due to Gao Shen's four-three-three tactics in the Champions League. For the sake of safety, Biglia and Rakitic are allowed to start. Hamsik can only be a substitute, but in Serie A, He is one of Napoli's best performers.

Gao Shen arranged for him to come on as a substitute at this time in order to continue to suppress Manchester United, especially Carrick.

...

"Damn! Why are all the players in Naples so good at running?" Ferguson scolded angrily.

Time waits for no one.

By the time Naples had finished their substitutions, it was already sixty-five minutes.

Ferguson hesitated a little more, and another five minutes passed.

Finally, in the 73rd minute, Ferguson gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and replaced Rooney with Giggs.

This is a signal to try to step up the offense.

Two minutes later, Vidal replaced Di Maria.

This immediately made Ferguson almost vomit blood.

Needless to say, what is the intention of removing a winger and replacing it with a midfielder who is both offensive and defensive and has better running ability.

After the replacement, Hamsik was pushed to the left side of the frontcourt, Biglia did not have the task of defending Rooney, partnered with Vidal in the midfield, and Thiago Motta was still behind.

Naples still has no intention of slowing down the pace of the game, and continues to fight Manchester United to the end.

At this moment, everyone knows that Manchester United's situation is over.

...

"There are still 15 minutes left in the game, but from the scene, we can't see any signs of Manchester United's comeback."

"Whether it's ball possession, number of shots, or the morale of the players, Manchester United is clearly behind Naples."

"Gao Shen's two substitutions in the second half made Naples' midfield stronger. It is becoming more and more difficult for Manchester United to pass through the midfield, and Ferguson has never been able to find a good solution to this."

"This is actually very similar to the first leg. Manchester United had no chance in that game, but after Berbatov came on the field, the connection between him and Ronaldo created a goal for Manchester United."

"But tonight, Naples has obviously strengthened their defense in this area."

"C Ronaldo's fighting spirit is unquestionable. In tonight's game, he is the player with the most shots in the game, but he has not been able to pose a threat. This is the biggest problem Manchester United is currently facing."

"Ferguson has used up three substitutions, but the situation on the court is still not improving."

"Time is running out, Manchester United still need to score three goals, obviously, this is very, very difficult, even impossible, the Manchester United fans also realized this, and the Manchester United players on the pitch also realized it. this point."

Nearly 80 minutes later, considering the physical fitness of the whole team, Gao Shen signaled the team to retreat, tighten the cage in their own half, organize a tight defense, and stop fighting against Manchester United.

But at the 82nd minute, Gao Shen made the last substitution of the game.

Antonio Valencia replaced Sanchez.

The Chilean winger scored the first goal for Naples and performed very hard, but now his physical fitness is almost exhausted.

"Ecuadorian winger Valencia has performed very well this season and is known for his speed. Gao Shen let him play at this time, obviously to adopt a counterattack tactic."

"In the Naples team, there is no shortage of long-pass players. At the same time, the pass is also very good. Now both sides are exhausted. If Manchester United can't press Naples, as long as they are caught. A long pass Hit directly behind."

"In this case, Valencia's pace will be more dominant."

After the substitution, Naples began to play a bit like 4312.

Cavani and Valencia are in the front, Hamsik is in the center at the back, and three midfielders are lined up in the back.

Gao Shen's meaning was already very obvious, until the last moment, before the whistle sounded, he would never let down his vigilance.

Not only through substitutions, but also he kept calling on the players on the sidelines, constantly reminding them to stay focused.

Although, everyone feels that the overall situation of the game has been decided.

How could the situation be reversed in the last few minutes?

But Gao Shen was still worried.

...

Ronaldo is still running on the court, constantly looking for opportunities.

Even at the end of the game, he was still able to sprint hard, giving his best every time.

But on the court, he alone can't change the overall situation at all.

Although in the 89th minute, he used his personal ability to dribble the ball from the side to create a corner kick, which made Gao Shen nervous for a while, and Manchester United also took advantage of this opportunity to form consecutive corner kicks.

But both failed to create a threat.

In stoppage time, Manchester United frequently tried to make long passes, and Ronaldo also grabbed points in front several times, but there was no one around to respond, and the offense could not play a threat.

A total of four minutes of stoppage time, Manchester United failed to create a miracle in the end.

Two to zero, Naples defeated Manchester United away and advanced to the Champions League final with a total score of 3 to 1!

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gao Shen was more excited than anyone else, and rushed directly into the field, crazily venting his inner excitement.

he made it!
