Chapter 572 Home Dragon Catania

Sometimes he will show off his footwork on the training ground, and occasionally he will take the initiative to compete with the players in the team.

Once he competed with Zhang Yuan for free kicks and scored 5 out of 3 free kicks. He proudly said to Zhang Yuan: "How is it?! My level is still very good! You should study hard!"

Yo, at your level, a blind cat meets a dead mouse!Zhang Yuan couldn’t stop complaining. He was an engineer-type midfielder when he was a player. Didier Deschamps and him were partners. Didier Deschamps had a higher level of skill than him. His footwork was definitely not as good as Zhang Yuan’s. Show off.

"That's it! It's a little closer to me, and farther away from Alex and Andre!" Zhang Yuan hit him unceremoniously.

"Hehe, boy! Have you never seen you talk to the coach like this?! Do you know the consequences?!" Conte asked with a smile.

"What consequences?! You ate me?! If you are not convinced, let's have a formal competition!" Zhang Yuan shouted.

"No, I'm too lazy to compete with you! If you can't score more than 20 goals this season, I will definitely make you suffer again next season!" Conte rejected Zhang Yuan's proposal and gave Zhang Yuan A goal has been placed.

Provocative method? !Hehe, Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Coach, you look down on me too much! My goal this season is to score 25 goals!"

Conte thinks that 20 goals is really not a small number. Zhang Yuan is now a rookie in Serie A (inter Milan period is not counted!), don't look at the first two games, but the more behind, The more familiar the opponent is with him, he will be greatly restricted, and it will become harder and harder to get opportunities. It is actually quite difficult to find goals.

Of course, Zhang Yuan also considered such factors. The season he scored the most goals was the season when Schalke won the championship in 04. He achieved the goal of averaging one goal per game. He scored more than 30 goals in the Bundesliga, but now it is In Serie A, the level here is not necessarily as high as the Bundesliga, but the defensive organization is more stringent. Scoring goals is a difficult thing, so he asked himself to score 20 goals in all competitions together to be considered a success.

The start of 2 wins and 1 draw is not bad for Juventus, which only ranked seventh last season. Now they occupy the top three positions with Genoa and Udinese.

In the new season, Inter Milan and AC Milan, which can attack the championship throne, are not playing well. Inter Milan only has 4 points, while AC Milan is even worse, with only [-] points. It seems that there is no such thing as the championship last season.

But the season has just started, only three rounds, this is not like La Liga, a loss is fatal for Barcelona and Real Madrid, here has entered the era of melee, Inter Milan is living on its laurels, AC Milan has not invested much this summer, Rome, Naples, etc. are all potential spoilers.

Conte himself often analyzes the situation of the standings, but he has repeatedly told everyone not to look at the standings, we have to win one game at a time.

Conte's current selection is also very characteristic. He hardly considers whether the players are suitable for his system. Of course, there are only such people, and he doesn't have much choice. The key for him to judge whether to play is the players' reluctance. Work hard on the court, can run and not just run around.

On the afternoon of September 9th, Juventus challenged Catania away, and it was another rainy battle.

Catania is a team from Sicily, and Sicily is the birthplace of the mafia. It is difficult to play at home here, not because of off-court factors, but because these teams can always explode with amazing energy at home.

The reason why Catania was able to complete their relegation last season was because they played well at home, a typical home game and an away game. They won 19 of the 14 home games and only lost 4 games. , and in the away game they only won one victory.

However, when they played against the top three in the north, their home court advantage was not obvious. Even so, Conte repeatedly warned his players that they must not take it lightly.

However, the reality gave Juventus a head-on blow. This time the result seemed to be even worse. It was only at the beginning that Catania played a bold game against Juventus at the Massimino Stadium.

There are many Argentines in the Catania team. They are good at using the 433-[-]-[-] formation and focus on offense. Catania recruited Diego Simeone as the coach during the winter break of last season. After Simeone came to power, the overall The record is still passable, but after the end of the season, he is unwilling to stay in Catania. The stage here is not big enough, so he negotiated with Catania to terminate the contract.

Catania's search for a coach is purposeful. They just want to find a coach who is suitable for the team's tactics, and then the former "little plane" Montella will take over Catania.

After the small plane took over Catania, the start was relatively mediocre, but in this game he still developed an attacking tactic according to the characteristics of Catania. After the start, Catania moved forward to press high.

Everyone was offensive and defensive. In the 20th minute, right winger Gomez successfully broke through Grosso with the ball, and then crossed the goal. Beresio snatched a tackle and the ball hit the goal of Buffon's handle.

Catania actually took the lead by one goal, which made Conte really depressed. In the first 20 minutes, Juventus had a certain advantage but it was not obvious. Catania's 433 could also give Juventus Si made a threat, but Conte waited for Catania's outbreak before his own player's outbreak.

The fans at the Massimino Stadium cheered. Most of them are double fans, but they must support Catania in this game. Who doesn't want their hometown team to give some support? !The camera can clearly capture many fans wearing Juventus jerseys cheering for the goal.

Montella's tactical arrangement was very successful. His arrangement for the team today is to compete with Juventus in the midfield. In Conte's tactical arrangement, today he changed to 433, with two wings Krasic and Eli Ya and the others pull aside relatively, because they are all players who focus on extraordinary skills, and the single striker in front is Zhang Yuan.

In this way, Zhang Yuan’s position is much higher, and he cannot retreat frequently. The midfield trio Vidal, Marchisio, and Pirlo, this is not the first time they have cooperated, but they and the frontcourt There is a disconnect between the three of them.

Facing the strong siege of Catania's midfielder, it was ugly.

After Catania's attack was completed, Montella began to recover properly. He didn't let his formation recover, but let his two wingers retract, similar to kicking the midfielder, to attract Juventus' defensive attention in the middle .

Juventus and Catania compete fiercely in the midfield, and the players of Catania at their home court are particularly able to run. Juventus is very difficult.

At the end of the first half, Catania still led 1-0. Conte felt useless, and Krasic was better. He gradually realized that he had to run up and down and work harder, but Elia was different. Diligent, he is completely different on the court. He has little interaction with Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan basically fails to return to his feet when he throws the ball to him.

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to dribble more at this level here, but Elia tried his best to find opportunities to break through from the side.

This idea obviously does not meet Conte's requirements. What can you do if you break through? !cross? !When Zhang Yuan plays a single striker, he must try to avoid crosses!

Conte is not stupid. Of course he knows that Catania will not stick to his home court. He arranges three midfielders to enhance the defensive thickness of the midfield. Way to break Catania's goal, and now his arrangements are not working.

So during the intermission, he replaced the mediocre Elia and replaced him with Pepe. Pepe's breakthrough may not be as good as Elia, but he obviously knows Serie A better and knows how to cooperate with his teammates, and Running up and down is also very active and can participate in the team's defense.

Montella still had the idea of ​​the first half in the second half, intending to cause some trouble for Juventus.

But the effect of Conte's substitutions this time is obvious. Pepe, a winger, focuses more on cooperating with defense, and Conte puts the emphasis on attacking Krasic on the right.

Zhang Yuan moved more moderately to the right in the second half, intending to interact with Krasic.

In the 49th minute, Juventus equalized the score. Vidal made a direct pass to Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan protected the ball and took a step across to the right side. Krasic was very fast and caught the ball before Capuano. , and then an inverted triangle pass to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan did not stop the ball and directly pushed and hit the near corner of Catania's gate.

Unlucky for Catania, their field conditions are a bit bad, and it’s raining again. Zhang Yuan ran into the penalty area after passing the ball. Originally, Spoli, who was following him, was very close, but Zhang Yuan ran and turned around again and again. , a shake, Spoley turned around and fell on the slippery field, causing Zhang Yuan to shoot without anyone following him.
