"Who can tell me what is the most effective Italian offensive method?" In the locker room, Xiao Ming asked a question to all the players.
"Tony's impact in the penalty area."
¡°Cassano¡¯s breakthrough.¡±
"De Rossi's long shot."
"Pirlo organizes long-range shots and set pieces."
¡°Assists from Gianluca Zambrotta and Grosso.¡±
The players all gave their own answers. Xiao Ming nodded: "Yes, that's basically it Although Donadoni tried his best to make Italy's offense better, they These are the only tactics we are good at, so we can save some energy in the second half and use defense to deal with their offense."
"Leo, follow Tony and compete with him for the first point. You don't need to control the first point every time, but you can't let him hit the ball comfortably. Other defenders, keep their own In the defensive area, no matter how Cassano breaks through, the overall defense line should not be messed up. Gareth, David, guard the front of the penalty area and don't let them have the opportunity to comfortably kick long shots. Frank, return to defense, and your next move The task is to defend. Steven, entangle Pirlo so that he cannot organize the offense smoothlycontrol their offense and use counterattacks to deal with them, so that we can save some energy."
Xiao Ming announced the tactics for the second half. The first half went smoothly, but it also consumed a lot of physical energy from the team. This mad-dog attack in the frontcourt consumes a lot of physical energy. Although this tactic is used It's not a problem to play the whole game - after all, most of the frontcourt players who started this game were rotated in the last game of the group stage - but considering the next game, it is natural to consume too much in this game. Not a good idea.
Players cannot think about retaining energy on the court, as that will affect their performance, but the head coach must consider how to allow the players to exert their abilities and preserve their physical fitness without worries. This is also the coach's responsibility. A proof of standard.
Looking at the players who still had some doubts, Xiao Ming waved his hand: "Let me ask you, is the Netherlands' offense better, or is Italy's offense better?"
This question doesn¡¯t seem to need an answer. Although the Italian national team¡¯s performance in major competitions is far better than that of the Netherlands, when it comes to offense, how many European teams can compare with the Netherlands?
"Does the Netherlands have more offensive methods, or does Italy have more offensive methods?" Xiao Ming then asked a second question.
There is no need to answer this question. The Netherlands has always had a lot of offensive methods, otherwise they would not be able to gain a foothold in European football with offense. Although Donadoni has successfully transformed Italy after taking office, no matter from the beginning Wherever you look, Italy's offensive methods are still a bit weak.
"Since we can use defense to prevent the Netherlands from scoring a goal in the entire ninety minutes, why can't we use defense to prevent Italy from scoring a goal in forty-five minutes? Since we can use counterattacks to score three goals from the Netherlands, then we Why can't we use counterattacks to expand the score again in the second half? Believe in our defensive ability, and don't take Italy's offense too seriously In the second half, defend and counterattack and kill them!"
"In the previous two quarter-finals, the top two teams were killed. Now let us tell everyone that we are the top team in this group and no team can kill us!"
Xiao Ming waved his fist and shouted, and his words immediately confused the players - although they all understood one thing, that is, football matches cannot be based on simple calculations. It cannot be said that because I am stronger than you, I will definitely be able to beat you. I can't say that if I can defend this opponent's offense, I will definitely be able to defend the offense of another team whose offense is not as good as this team's - but the players don't suddenly think like this. Sometimes they deliberately do so during the game. Make yourself more gullible.
"Let's go and let the Italians see how good our defense is!" Seeing that the players' emotions had been aroused, Xiao Ming immediately waved his hand vigorously and then drove the players out of the locker room.
"England played a beautiful game in the first half. Their attack in the frontcourt was simply pleasing to the eye. Italy had no ability to resist! Italy is indeed much different now than it was two years ago. Cannavaro, The withdrawal of Totti, Nesta and others from the national team has reduced the strength of the Italian national team a lot. At the same time, the status of many of their main players has also begun to decline, such as Zambrotta, Toni, Gattuso However, it is definitely not easy to push Italy to this point. In the group stage, Spain used offense to completely suppress Italy, but thatThey didn't show much outstanding ability and overwhelming advantage. In fact, the advantage they gained on the field in this European Championship was not big. Maybe it was only the last round of the group stage against France and the first half of this game. They had more advantages in each game. However, when facing the Netherlands, France and Italy, three teams that had won the European Championship, the England national team, which had never won the European Championship, won three consecutive games. A victory of less than zero Although this game is not over yet, it is almost there. Italy will not have any chance Judging from the game process, it cannot be said that England can achieve an overwhelming victory in the process. Instead, In short, the disparity in the final score does not prove that the game was one-sided. Why England can have such earth-shaking changes, maybe the answer lies in their head coach Xiao Ming - I believe that no matter how England plays next, Xiao's tactical arrangements and preparations before the game in these games , are enough to serve as classic cases of targeted layout. In the game against the Netherlands, Heskey, who had been ignored by everyone before, became the key to the outcome of the game. In the game against France, they suppressed the opponent from beginning to end. In the game against Italy, they played three games in the group stage. As a substitute, Lampard, who was almost forgotten, became a key figure with every pass and shot This method is really exciting to play. "
As the ESPN commentator explained, the camera turned to Xiao Ming's face in time. At this time, Xiao Ming had a faint smile on his face and extended a thumbs up to the players who were cheering and celebrating on the court.
This goal occurred in the 86th minute of the game. Seven minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. It was another 3-0. England defeated Italy and advanced to the semi-finals!
A consecutive 3-0 victory over three top teams immediately pushed Xiao Ming's reputation to its peak - no one would be dissatisfied with Xiao Ming at this time, even if England failed to win in the next game. The champion of the European Cup has the momentum to defeat strong teams all the way, which is also quite rare in the entire history of the European Championship!
