Chapter 665: Newly Promoted Cheevo
What Pochettino meant was that if we want to compete for the championship, we have to supplement the defense, but Bielsa has never believed that the team needs to supplement the defense. He thinks it can be done now. In fact, his tolerance for mistakes in the defense Also high.
"Anyway, now we really have to get some results!" said another assistant coach, Berizzo. Playing in the European League, I know that heroes are judged by performance here. With Trapani's lineup in hand, it's really hard to talk about not winning some championships.
Didn't his predecessor Ranieri win the championship with the same lineup, so we can't do worse than him.
Bielsa nodded silently, acquiescing to what Berizzo said.
The opening of the first round of the weekend league, Bielsa attended the pre-match press conference, in this conference, Bielsa finally said the team's goals.
"Of course we will try our best to compete for the championship of each event! In short, we will face great challenges this season, and we cannot repeat the story of last season!"
In fact, there is no need for people from the Trapani Club to say anything. The media has already regarded them as the favorites among the favorites. In the season preview, the major media undoubtedly regard Trapani as the favorites to win the league, the Champions League and the Coppa Italia. .
The initial odds of Trapani winning the league championship given by the bookmaker Bewin are 1:2.12, while the previous champion Inter Milan is 1:4.14. The odds given by other major bookmakers are basically the same as Bewin The above is almost the same, which shows that no matter which angle, Trapani is placed at the top of the list.
However, Inter Milan with Mourinho is not so easy to mess with. Trapani's players supported the surrounding news of Trapani, and then Inter Milan was Mourinho alone. He's a champion coach, he's proven himself at Porto and Chelsea, and he's especially good at making news.
The Italian media naturally like to get close to him and dig news from him. Facing the public support for Trapani's championship, Mourinho is obviously looking for something.
In the first round of Inter Milan's away game against Sampdoria, when Mourinho was attending a press conference, a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport asked him.
"Mr. Mourinho, many experts predict that the league champion this season will be Trapani. Your Inter Milan is not favored by everyone. What do you think of this season's league championship?! Do you think it is very special? Does Rapani have a better chance of winning the title than your team?!"
Mourinho smiled, "Trapani has a lot of good players! Of course I don't think my players are bad! I just want to express a point of view. If I have their players, I think I will also be looked down upon." They are popular! They are indeed very strong, but they are not without weaknesses. Bielsa has no experience in winning European leagues. I think this may be a problem!"
Good guy, it was calm in the early stage. Now that the league kicks off, Mourinho's "moth" came out.
Obviously, this sentence has the meaning of belittling Bielsa, and the media will of course know that this is Mourinho's method, which is nothing more than putting pressure on Bielsa, but what does it matter? It is a gimmick to report Mourinho's press conference, they just want to reflect Mourinho's madman character.
However, Bielsa didn't respond. Talking is not what he is good at, and he doesn't want to argue with Mourinho. There is no need to argue. The real chapter still has to be seen on the court.
……
On the evening of August 8st, Chievo's Bent Gordy Stadium was very lively. This was Chievo's first home in the new season, and it was also their first home in Serie A. They were unfortunately relegated in the 31-06 season. Played around in Serie B last season, won the first place in the league and returned to Serie A.
This summer Chievo did not spend a lot of money, but there were a lot of personnel additions. According to the evaluation of the media, Chievo's transfer work was done well. However, Chievo ranked first in Serie B in offensive power last season, but his defense was very average. It can only be said that this is really a bit unlucky to encounter Trapani with super offensive power in one game.
"I hope my players don't feel intimidated by them! We didn't come to the stadium to raise our hands and surrender!" Chievo coach De Carlo used this method to motivate himself in the pre-match press conference team.
There is no way that the first game is very important for both sides. The stronger the opponent is, the more Chievo wants to score points. To be precise, De Carlo especially wants to score points. There is no doubt that even a draw can give Chievo players They bring great self-confidence.
In the first game, De Carlo used a 4321 formation. The single arrow was Pelissier. He scored 22 league goals for Chievo last season and was a major contributor to Chievo's promotion. Lisier's scoring efficiency is not high, and he only scored less than [-] goals in the highest season. Pelisier and Trapani still have some connections back then, and he almost became Trapani Part of Penny.
The midfielder has set up double midfielders. Since Bielsa became the coach of Trapani, many teams in Serie A are studying ways to deal with Trapani. Now that De Carlo has led the team to the Serie A arena, it is inevitable. Take a closer look at Trapani.
Before this game, during the summer training camp, Henry was recuperating due to an injury. He has not yet recovered and can only watch from the sidelines. Therefore, in the four-three-three formation that Bielsa sent in this game, Di Maria was used on the left winger.
Pedro stayed in the team last season. Pedro and Di Maria's technical characteristics are not the same. He is very good at running, while Di Maria is good at passing. The two of them are just substitutes. Henry is in the winger position. Play better.
After Pedro left, Henry was one year older, and Di Maria naturally had more chances. Vucinic, who could play him in this position, failed to compete with him.
The midfield is equipped with Kaka, Mascherano, and Beckham. The tacit understanding between Kaka and his teammates needs to be improved, but the opponent Chievo is undoubtedly a good testing ground. If it is changed to Inter Milan, Kaka may not be able to sit in the starting position today.
……
The referee Farina blew the whistle to start the game, and the battle between the two sides began.
The Chievo team started to withdraw from the opening. This is De Carlo's countermeasure. After studying it and studying the past, it seems that the bus can be the most effective against Trapani. He deliberately arranged a fast Cole in the frontcourt. Long played in midfield, the purpose is to fight back.
Coron is a talent acquired by Inter Milan from Brazil. At this stage, he is praised to the sky, but in the eyes of Mourinho, the little guy is still too young. Chievo did not waste much time on loan. Whether this young general is really that good or not has to be said in actual combat.
Trapani's momentum is very strong today. They don't control the ball as the Chievo team expected. On the contrary, the more Chievo hopes that Trapani will fall into a positional battle, the more Bielsa will not do so. He encourages the players They pass the ball directly forward without making too many backward passes. He also encourages the wingers on the two wings to dare to break through individually and not be afraid of losing the ball.
What Bielsa wants to show De Carlo today is not Trapani's ability to control the ball, but his ability to counter-attack and deploy defenses on the spot.
De Caro didn't know what Bielsa thought. He asked his players to dare to invest in the counterattack, and the defense should also boldly try to create offside tactics.
So in less than 6 minutes of the game, Chievo was taken aback. De Carlo's on-the-spot response was not timely. After Trapani lost the ball, the Chievo team wanted to organize a quick counterattack. Taking advantage of Chievo's defense, Beckham sent a deadly through ball. Messi succeeded in countering offside and scored a goal with ease.
