Three Hundred and Fifty-Seven Changes and Miracles

On the evening of May 24th, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

This year's Coppa Italia final happens to be the 60th, which has aroused great attention from the entire Italian football world.

As early as the beginning of the season, the Italian Football Association specially modified the competition system to commemorate this Coppa Italia. The final was changed from the original two rounds to the current single match. Cup final venue.

The Olympic Stadium in Rome.

According to the highest voice of the media and fans before the season, this should be the peak match between Roma and Inter Milan.

In the past three seasons, the final of the Coppa Italia has always been between Inter Milan and Roma. Inter Milan won two of them. Last season, Roma defeated Inter Milan and won the championship.

Before the season, everyone felt that Rome should still play against Inter Milan.

But who would have thought that a team of Naples would come out halfway.

...

To say that Naples reached the final of the Coppa Italia, before the game also provoked a terrific big shot.

That is the current Italian President Napolitano.

The president who took office in 2006 was born in Naples, and he is also a die-hard fan of Naples.

De Laurentiis can be regarded as a master of the sky. After Naples reached the final of the Coppa Italia, he did not know how to contact the president and invited him to the final scene to supervise the battle.

The guests who also sat in the final stands of the Olympic Stadium included Italian Olympic Committee President Petrucci and Italian Football Federation President Abbet. These two are important figures in Italian sports.

For Inter Milan, the president, Massimo Moratti, was not present and instead made his sister represent Inter Milan.

But the Nerazzurri's technical director Branca was present in the final.

For Naples, apart from President Napolitano, Maradona was also invited to attend the Coppa Italia final.

This was the agreement between De Laurentiis and the players, and it was also what Maradona had agreed to in Castel Volturno. After hearing that Naples had reached the final, Maradona was also readily invited to attend.

Numerous guests made the whole final more grand.

Before the game, the Italian Football Association also specially held a short celebration ceremony to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Italian Cup final.

...

Naples is still fighting with their best 423 formation tonight.

Goalkeeper: Handanovic.

Defense: Vargas, David Luiz, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner.

Midfielder: Biglia and Rakitic lag behind, followed by Di Maria, Hamsik and Sanchez.

Forward: Cavani.

This is also the main lineup of Naples this season.

Inter Milan adjusted their starting tactics and played in a four-five formation.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defense: Maxwell, Chivu, Burdisso and Maicon.

Midfield: Cesar, Vieira, Stankovic, Zanetti and Balotelli.

Forward: Suazo.

When Gao Shen saw Inter Milan players standing in the locker room, his first reaction was surprise.

Because he found that Mancini actually put Balotelli on the right.

Inter Milan actually changed their formation on the spot and adopted a strange four-five formation, which he did not expect.

"What does he want to do?" Gao Shen asked puzzled.

He originally guessed that Inter Milan would still adopt the four-three-one-two that they are best at.

Look at Balotelli, the position is directly on the far right of the center line, and it is obvious that he is going to play on the side.

Naples coaches are also very puzzled.

"Could it be a surprise soldier?" Carlo asked cautiously.

Gao Shen shook his head, does this look like a surprise soldier?

...

As soon as the game started, Naples took the initiative.

This is their signature tactic,

Attack from the start.

Inter Milan defended steadily, but after Naples kicked the first shot of the game, Inter Milan also played a quick counterattack in the third minute.

When Suazzo took the ball, he attracted the attention of the defense and sent a straight pass to the right, which is the left of Naples.

Balotelli jumped in at high speed and tried to counterattack, but the referee raised the flag to signal offside!

After seeing this, Gao Shen somewhat understood Mancini's intentions.

"Is he a little out of his wits? He even pinned his hopes on a seventeen-year-old general." Gao Shen shook his head and sighed.

Mancini's tactics really let him down. Gu Xi

Unexpectedly, after many changes, the result was a big bet on a seventeen-year-old guy.

Balotelli is a genius, and Gao Shen admits it, but is he worth the gamble?

Gao Shen didn't think so, especially the seventeen-year-old Balotelli.

Therefore, Gao Shen immediately walked to the sidelines and signaled Biglia and Vargas to pay more attention to Balotelli.

Restrain him!

Don't let him break through and cut inside easily!

The advanced instructions were quickly spread to the court, and the Naples players also got the news quickly.

At the same time, Gao Shen asked David Luiz and Bonucci to control Suazo.

In fact, in terms of personal ability, Su Yazuo is not too strong, not to mention the two central defenders of Naples teaming up, even if it is a one-on-one duel, Gao Shen has confidence in his players, and killing Su Yazuo is not a problem.

Balotelli is only seventeen years old and has always played as a center forward. Now he is a bit uncomfortable being asked to play sideways.

In fact, even in the European Cup in 2012, when Balotelli was at his peak, Pirlo's long diagonal pass did not allow Balotelli to dribble forward, but let Balotelli pass the ball forward. He went directly to attack the opponent's defense.

What's more, there was a maturing Cassano beside Balotelli at the time.

But now, Mancini is going to use Balotelli as a winger.

Gao Shen really can't figure it out, what exactly does Mancini want to do?

Perhaps, just like a entangled emperor before the Champions League final in the future, he always wants to change his formation and perform miracles.

...

With a deep adjustment, Balotelli was contained down the right.

Gao Shen knows Balotelli very well, and knows that this young player is crazy. The more you make him pissed off, the more energetic he will be.

So, he asked Vargas and Biglia to contain him several times in a row, and he was intercepted and blocked several times in a row. Balotelli was a little anxious, especially because he couldn't get the support of his teammates. , The more you play, the less confident you are.

As for Suazo, after advanced adjustments, the distance between him and Balotelli has been widened.

Inter Milan's two center forwards began to fight on their own, lacking contact and naturally unable to create threats.

From the 30th minute of the game, the game completely entered the control of Naples.

In the 31st minute, Cavani responded after receiving a pass from his teammate in the penalty area. Hamsik followed up knowingly and shot directly, but the angle was too straight and was saved by goalkeeper Cesar.

However, Rakitic, who came up from the back row, grabbed the ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area, kicked up and hit again, and it was still a long shot.

This time it directly pierced through Inter Milan's goal and opened the scoring for Naples!

One to zero!

Then Naples started the siege mode against Inter Milan, planning one attack after another.

Inter Milan was forced to switch to a shrinking defense, and this shrinking defense made it difficult for the two forwards in front to create threats, exacerbating the isolation of Balotelli and Suazo.

In the second half, Mancini tried to replace the underperforming Stankovic with Pele.

The reason is simple. The goal lost in the first half, whether it was Hamsik's long shot or Rakitic's goal, was at the front of the penalty area, but Stankovic did not appear in the position in time twice, Protect the restricted area.

The substitution did not change the situation on the field.

Napoli continued their onslaught against Inter Milan.

Especially after fifty-five minutes, the physical gap between the two teams is already very obvious.

Inter Milan's morale is low and the players' confidence is not strong. As a result, the more they play on the court, the more they lose confidence, the more they play, the more boring they are, and the greater their physical energy consumption. On the other hand, Naples completely controls the situation and rhythm on the field. beat.

In the fifty-ninth minute, with another support from Cavani, Hamsik received a pass from the Uruguayan center forward and scored from close range, scoring another goal for Naples, 2-0!

It can be said that at this moment in the game, the situation has basically stabilized.

Inter Milan was simply unable to make a strong counterattack against Naples.

...

"Tonight's Naples showed a very high technical and tactical level. On the contrary, Inter Milan did not play the strength of a strong Serie A team. It seems that they lack confidence and lack the desire to win."

"I believe that all Italian fans watching this game will be disappointed with Mancini and his Inter Milan."

"Gao Shen and his Naples, despite being booed like waves in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they still played at the highest level and showed stronger strength."

"It seems that Mancini has been powerless to prevent Gao Shen from ascending to the supreme throne at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome!"

"This will also be Naples' second Italian double since 1987."

"If it is said that Naples belonged to Maradona, then after 20 years, this Naples team that has gone through bankruptcy and reorganization, and has been reborn from the low-level league is a team that completely belongs to the club. A deep team."

"Every player in this team is personally selected and cultivated by Gao Shen. It can be said that they are tailor-made for his tactics, which makes Naples always play a very strong overall offensive. football."

"With the wins in Serie A and the Coppa Italia this season, we have every reason to believe that Serie A is ushering in a new era, and the traditional power structure in the past will be completely broken."

"And from now on, the Naples team trained by Gao Shen is bound to become an emerging force that cannot be ignored in Italian football."

"Especially after tonight!"

Even the commentator could see that Mancini not only lost a final and a championship tonight, but also lost the confidence and fighting spirit of Inter Milan.
