Chapter 603 Who Can Stop Him? !

"Who can stop him?!" This was the headline on the front page of "Turino Sport" after the Lazio game, and the accompanying picture was a photo of Zhang Yuan celebrating after scoring a goal.

During this period of time, Zhang Yuan was like a god who blocked and killed people. In the Lazio game, he once again contributed a pass and a shot, helping the team win the Blue Eagles 2:0.

Lazio's poor performance at home this season has been confirmed once again. Facing Juventus, which is in good form, they have no power to parry at all, and they are at the bottom in all aspects. opponents, widening the point gap between the two sides.

The only bad situation in this game was that Marchisio was injured, and he also performed very well in this game. The goal Zhang Yuan scored was assisted by Marchisio through a pass.

Not only the "mouthpiece" of Juventus, "Torino Sport", but other major sports newspapers in Italy are talking about this kind of Juventus, such Zhang Yuan, who can stop them, the most promising Milan duo, It has been eliminated by Juventus in the first half of the season.

None of the rest seem to be Juventus' opponents.

The morale of the Juventus players was high. After the game with Lazio, Juventus did not return to Turin, but continued to stay in Rome and trained at the Borghese Siena Training Center.

There is a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere on the training ground. In just a few months, Zhang Yuan has fully integrated into the team and got along well with his teammates.

On the 27th, the second day after the Lazio game, Zhang Yuan, who played against Lazio, just had a relaxing recovery training. In the evening, Conte concentrated on the players and began to explain a new tactical formation, 352.

To be honest, Juventus has never played in such a formation before, and all players are a little surprised.

Conte is not surprised, he has concerns, Marchisio is called "little prince" by Juventus fans, and he has another name "soy sauce horse" among Chinese fans, which means Marchisio's role It seems to be soy sauce on the court. Not only Chinese fans see it this way, but the Italian Juventus fans are also very confused about Marchisio's aspect.

But in fact, in Conte's midfield iron triangle, Marchisio's role in Juventus is currently no one in the team can replace.

He is not as fierce and accurate as Vidal in defense, and he is not as good as Pirlo in organization, but Marchisio has good physical fitness, a wide range of running, can go up and down, commonly known as running can not die, secondly, he has a good awareness of assisting defense, active interception is not His strengths are good defensive awareness and being good at filling positions. In the defensive system, mutual filling is very important. To put it bluntly, it can allow the defensive system to re-establish a wall between the fast players, so that the opponent cannot continue to dribble. Advance and delay the opponent's attack.

In the end, his ability in all aspects is relatively balanced. He is not super in everything but is definitely first-class. He is a striker, has a good sense of going forward, and his shooting ability is also commendable.

This is Marchisio, like the other two candidates in the midfield, unable to find a suitable replacement.

Juventus' next opponent, Mazzarri's Naples, is another stadium known for attacking. Attacking is a prominent label after Naples' upgrade. No team in Serie A will underestimate their attacking ability.

They still occupy the advantage of the home field in this round of make-up matches. What Conte has to consider is that the offense and defense must not be unbalanced, and they must try their best to contain Naples' midfield operation, so Conte thought of 352.

There is no doubt about the choice of central defender. Bonucci, Barzagli, and Chiellini are fully capable. Chiellini himself was born as a full-back. When Juventus really shined, it was in the central defender position. , This is also thanks to Conte's former teammate Juventus star Didier Deschamps.

This season the left back is quite weak, neither Grosso nor De Qielli can satisfy Conte, so Chiellini returned to the wing and has been playing the position of left back. It was Bonucci and Barzagli.

Now to play three central defenders, Chiellini is naturally the best candidate among the three central defenders.

On the right midfielder, Conte trusts Lichtsteiner a lot. This is also a player who can't run to death. Although his passing ability on the offensive end needs to be improved, he can use running to make up for this deficiency.

Moreover, Naples will not shrink back to defend, and there is still a chance for Lichtsteiner to get in.

The main problem is to focus on the left winger and the candidate to replace Marchisio. Conte didn't think about who to use.

On the second day, Juventus began to practice this formation and tactics. If you want to play a full-back with 352 five midfielders, the necessary condition is to have a strong sense of returning to defense. To put it bluntly, returning to Juventus is the configuration of five defenders , If the winger does not have the awareness of retreating, the formation of three central defenders will definitely be crippled in wing defense.

Lacking Marchisio itself, Juventus's interception strength in the center has declined, and it is unlikely that the center will provide enough support for the wing.

According to Mazari's Naples style of play this season, they set up a midfielder in front of them, Hamsik, and Juventus' defensive pressure in the middle is heavy.

In the afternoon, Conte took Buffon to the press conference, while the team was still familiar with tactics under the leadership of Alessio.

Zhang Yuan didn't know the reason for Conte's change of formation, but he vaguely felt that it had a lot to do with Marchisio's absence, but he was quite pessimistic about such a change of formation, because it was too sudden.

Although it can surprise Naples, it still takes time for the team to adapt to the formation and tactics. It is so easy to take shape in a hurry, but the head coach has done it like this, so he can only obey orders.

During training, he partnered with Matri, and Conte’s requirements for him are still the same as those of a single striker. Points, strive to convert opportunities into goals.

After the training ended that afternoon, Juventus left the training base and headed to Naples, where they will spend the night and then send troops to the San Paolo Stadium tomorrow night.

Naples has been investing continuously and steadily since de la Lentis took over, and their geographical location is in the south, which is a banner of the southern team. No southern team can have such a glorious history as them.

Maradona also attracted a lot of fans for Naples, and the fan base is still quite good.

The results of these years have also improved steadily. The strength of the team is not weak. Compared with Juventus, they are not bad. Their main problem is that they are more offensive. In this regard, their overall style is not so similar to Serie A. Similarly, many times they can play pleasing football, but sometimes they are helpless against the defensive wall on the offensive end. The state of the team is not as trustworthy as the top three in the North.

Of course, there is no trustworthy team in Serie A. Although Juventus is undefeated, no one dares to win. For example, Genoa, Chievo, etc., Juventus also failed to win.

Not to mention Inter Milan and AC Milan, the status is even more difficult to say.

But in terms of lineup, Naples can definitely challenge Juventus. Juventus has Zhang Yuan as a striker, and Naples also has its own killer, Cavani, but Cavani can't play in this game. He was injured and absent.

But he alone can't affect everything. This is Naples' home court. The home court advantage in the new season is not obvious, but they are particularly excited to play Juventus. The Juventus players themselves know this very well.

Cannavaro Jr. of Naples said in an interview with reporters: "Our strength is not inferior to Juventus. We will win a victory in Sao Paulo. Thank our fans!"

The reporter asked him that Juventus is currently in a hot state, and the top scorer Zhang Yuan not only firmly occupies the first position in the Serie A scorer list, but also ranks among the best in the assist list. Can Naples successfully stop Zhang Yuan from advancing? pace.

Cannavaro said proudly: "Who is Zhang Yuan?! I don't know! If he is really in good condition, then we will cool him down now!"

Zhang Yuan didn’t know about this interview, because Juventus has been in closed training these days, and he didn’t know what the outside world said, but on the morning of November 11, Matri showed Zhang Yuan his phone with a smile. , The Internet recorded Cannavaro's disregard.
