Therefore, they must kill Lazio’s attack at the back line.
This is the last line of defense in Naples.
These three lines of defense are Mazari’s way to deal with Lazio …
Chapter three hundred and fifty Naples collapse
Mazzari’s idea is to contain Lazio’s attack through three layers of defense, so that Lazio will pay a high price every step forward, and then the Napoli defense line will finally shrink into a ball in the restricted area to completely block Lazio’s attack
His idea is good.
This strategy did create trouble for Lazio at half-time.
If Lazio attack into the half of Naples, their players will face players everywhere in Naples.
But Lazio is very patient.
If you can’t score a goal, you won’t go forward-Lazio and Naples are going to hit them back when they are pressed to attack.
But Naples is trying to drag the game into a penalty shootout.
It was in this misunderstanding that Lazio shook hands with Naples at half-time.
Mazzari praised the Napoli players at halftime and asked them to continue playing like this at half time.
However, there is something wrong with Napoli players.
"Coach, are we really going to stick to this until the end of overtime?"
Paolo cannavaro, captain of the talking team
Mazzari nodded. "That’s right. Is there a problem?"
Paolo cannavaro hesitated and shook his head. "No, there is no problem."
Mazzari didn’t want to let him go easily because he had clearly seen that Cannavaro seemed to be awkward.
Since the other party doesn’t want to talk, take the initiative to ask.
See if there’s anything he didn’t consider that might have serious consequences in the game.
He asked, "it’s okay. What’s wrong with you? It’s better to say it now than to expose it again in the game."
Paolo cannavaro hesitated and turned to look at his teammates before saying to Mazari, "The coach is actually nothing. I think we feel tired after playing for 45 minutes. If we play for 75 minutes … I don’t know if we can persist in physical fitness until then without making mistakes …"
Fabio cannavaro’s younger brother Cannavaro said.
Mazzarri frowned.
He is not dissatisfied with paolo cannavaro’s statement.
But he found that this is indeed a problem.
At half-time, he was too busy to be happy, and now he finds that everyone really looks tired at halftime.
It stands to reason that they didn’t let Lazio score at half time, which should be a great performance. They should be happy with their performance.
But at halftime, these players were not silent.
Now that I think about it, they are too tired.
But it’s only half-time. It must be abnormal for a professional player to feel tired even in half-time.
When there is nothing wrong with the players’ physical strength, they can be said to be very tired.
They consumed too much energy at half-time.
Mazar-e-Sharif recalled the half-court situation himself at this time.
Lazio didn’t score at half-time, but they had a high possession rate and ran a lot of football.
In this way, players who defend Naples have to constantly move their positions to defend accordingly.
Although their running distance is not too long, they are psychologically stressed.
Lazio will keep trying to score in the penalty area during the attack, which will make the players responsible for defending Naples nervous.
Being in a tense atmosphere for a long time will make players more tired than usual.
Mazar-e-Sharif turned white when he thought of this.
What can other players be more tired than usual?
That’s a question …
Lazio coach Chang Sheng is not an idiot.
At half-time, he found that Naples still couldn’t hold on so foolishly, and everyone knew what Naples wanted to do.
Overtime is definitely not Naples’s goal, then there will be a penalty shootout
What if Lazio stepped up its offensive and Napoli’s physical strength collapsed less directly?
Lazio can score even if there are five minutes left in the game.
Mazzari had to worry about this.
But what can be done?
This is Naples’s strategy before the game until the penalty shoot-out. Naples has been preparing for this game since a week and a half before the game.
Now you find that you can’t hold on to your position and then you have to temporarily modify your tactics?
That will make the players more comfortable.
Now Mazar-e-Sharif is already riding a tiger.
If you don’t stick to it, the result may be even worse.
So after thinking for a long time, Mazzari finally told him that the players would continue to defend themselves at half-time.
"I don’t know if we can wait until the end of the game and drag the game into the penalty. No one can make this guarantee, but we should try it because it is simple. This is the only way we can succeed."
