Chapter 110 Tactician Benitez
At 2014:4 on April 16, 19, the Volkswagen Arena was overcrowded.

On the field, the players of Wolfsburg and Naples have already led the little caddies to the stage for the pre-match communication ceremony.

The live broadcast of the game also gave the starting lineups of both sides in a timely manner.

Wolfsburg: (4231)

Gatekeeper: Benaglio

Defenders: Vierinha, Naldo, Chu Zheng, Rodriguez

Defenders: Gila Voji, Gustavo
Front midfielder: Caligiuri, De Bruyne, Schurrle
Forward: Dorst
"On April 4, Wolfsburg beat Hamburg 11-2 in an away game. The state is not good. Sebastian Rong has been in a bad state recently."

"So Dieter Heiking won this game, and Vierrinia will continue to play as the right back. The positions of other players will basically remain unchanged. Chinese player Chu Zheng will continue to start!"

"After returning from the international match day, Wolfsburg's competitive state has fluctuated a bit. I hope they can play well today!"

Naples: (4231)

Forward: Higuain
Front midfielder: Mertens, Hamsik, Callejon

Defenders: Inle, Lopez

Defenders: Guillam, Bristol, Albiol, Maggio
Goalkeeper: Andujar

"From March to now, Naples has 1 win, 3 losses and 4 draws in Serie A. Their state is also somewhat sluggish. It can be said that they are struggling in Serie A. It is difficult to win a victory. It was not until April 12 that Naples defeated Fiorentina 3-0 at home. .”

"But the head coach of Naples is Benitez, who is a recognized tactical master in world football."

Hearing He Wei's praise, Zhang Lu nodded with a smile and said, "In terms of technical and tactical level, Benitez is one of the top coaches, and his coaching style can also be said to be the best in today's football. A clear stream."

"Indeed!" He Wei knew what Zhang Lu wanted to say, and smiled happily, "Compared to many famous coaches in the world who have been criticized for their unchanging tactical system lineup, Benitez likes to rotate very much. It is even possible to form three sets of completely different tactical system lineups in three games a week, and the tactical targeting can be played to an outrageous level."

"But also because of this, there is no stable tactical system, so the teams he coaches often experience weakness in the league."

"But in the cup competition, whoever encounters it will probably lose his skin!" Zhang Lu laughed.

"Yes, so Wolfsburg may face a fierce battle today!" He Wei nodded.

At 19:05 Berlin time, with the whistle of the referee Laos, the quarter-finals of the first round between Wolfsburg and Naples officially started.

On the field, after the start of the game, perhaps because of the away game, Naples shrank their formation at the beginning and played very conservatively.

Although the Naples players let the Wolfsburg players control the ball in the backcourt, once the ball reaches the center line and wing area on both sides, the Naples players will immediately participate in the press and force Wolfsburg to pass back.

Two minutes later, Chu Zheng was shocked when he received a pass from Rodriguez on the left side of the backcourt.

In these 2 minutes, Chu Zheng could see clearly that the overall coordination of the Naples players was excellent.

It made Chu Zheng feel even better than the Bundesliga giant Bayern.

It even made them unable to find a space for ground pass on the two sideways within 2 consecutive minutes.

This kind of defensive ability made Chu Zheng extremely amazed. It was completely different from Inter Milan. He felt that they had encountered a real tough bone.

Putting away his thoughts, Chu Zheng dribbled the ball to the sidewalk.

Naples did not press up to press him in a high position, but waited for him to come near the center line of the side before suddenly attacking.

Seeing Higuain in the middle circle, Callejon on the side, and Hamsik on the side, Chu Zheng immediately slowed down.

Chu Zheng glanced to the left, and Rodriguez had retreated to the center line to respond.

However, in the next second, Chu Zheng suddenly kicked the ball to the left with his right foot, and then made a long pass with his left foot, allowing Higuain and the three of them to miss.

At this time, the right half was empty due to Naples' defensive center of gravity leaning to the right.

However, Chu Zheng was startled again a few seconds later.

Because the speed at which Naples shifted their defensive focus was astonishingly fast.

The rapid and coordinated overall linkage was so fast that Chu Zheng was startled.

When Vierinha unloaded the ball on the center line on the right side, Naples' overall defensive focus has been completely tilted.

Vierinha stopped the ball and observed quickly, and had to make a long pass.

On the front rib on the right side of the top of the arc, Dost turned and retreated to take off to compete for the top, and De Bruyne advanced from him.

Dost used his height to overwhelm the Naples midfielder Inle, who was only 183.

The ball was rubbed back by him, and after touching the ground, it bounced directly from the right rib of the top of the arc into the penalty area.

De Bruyne wanted to get into the Naples penalty area from the ribs to get the ball, but Naples left center back Bristol and left back Giramu reacted quickly, quickly approaching each other, and came to a close defense.

At the same time, Naples goalkeeper Andujar also rushed out, bent over and hugged the ball in his arms.

On the sidelines, Dieter Heiking saw that the team completed a good attack, but he was not happy at all.

He could tell that Naples didn't seem to be here to fight with them today, but he always felt very uneasy in his heart.

But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Dieter Heiking silently observed the Naples players on the field, and the more he watched, the more frightened he became.

Because Napoli have been in defense for most of the time, as far as they are concerned, they can be said to be perfect.

Even though he knew that the team was excellent in details by studying the Naples game video before the game, he still couldn't help being surprised after seeing it with his own eyes.

In a game, the two sides fight not only in terms of status, player strength, but also details.

Because the outcome of a game is sometimes hidden in a large number of details.

In the 5th minute of the game, Chu Zheng made a long pass from left to right again.

This time, the Wolfsburg players accelerated their offensive rhythm and hit the 30-meter area of ​​​​the Naples penalty area.

Gustavo took the ball on the right flank outside the offensive third area, attracting three Naples players to double-team, and then he quickly distributed the ball to the right.

On the right side outside the penalty area, Kalijuri took the ball and confronted Gillam. He faked a fax dunk and shook Gillam, then quickly turned around and crossed the penalty area with his left foot.

At the moment when Caligiuri passed the ball, Dost, who started from the penalty spot and made a diagonal thrust forward, suddenly braked and moved forward to the left after running halfway.

The next second, the ball arrived and Dost took off between the two Napoli centre-backs.

But Calijuri gave the ball too deep. Even if Chu Zheng came to fight for the ball, he couldn't compete with the goalkeeper Andujar who raised his hands high.

Wolfsburg's second attack ended hastily again.

In the next 10 minutes, Wolfsburg unilaterally suppressed Naples.

In the 7th minute of the game, Wolfsburg won the first corner kick of the game.

De Bruyne sent a right corner kick and found Dorst before, but Bristol's judgment on the landing point was more accurate.

He circled in front of Dost and took off for an aerial interception, clearing the ball directly out of the sideline.

In the 11th minute of the game, Inle received a pass from his central midfielder partner Lopez in the left rib area, and accidentally touched the ball with his left hand, allowing Wolfsburg to get a free kick of about 25 meters.

Rodriguez took the penalty, and he directly kicked an inside arc kick. As a result, the arc was shot, but the line was off.

In the 13th minute of the game, De Bruyne took the ball from the left side of the frontcourt.

He continued to bring forward, and bit by bit the Naples right center back Albio was pulled away from the back line.

When he was in the three-person cage of Albio, Callejon and Lopez, he once again used a very concealed pass to successfully send the ball to the feet of Chu Zheng who was pressing across the center line, and then quickly turned around and counterattacked along the ribs. run.

At the same time, Gustavo on the front right of Chuzheng also advanced in a straight line, and he was running behind Albio.

Chu Zheng kicked the ball to the left front with his left foot, and then quickly followed.

Suddenly Callejon in front of him quickly moved in front of Chu Zheng, cutting off the connection between Chu Zheng and De Bruyne behind him.

However, in the next second, he saw Chu Zheng suddenly swing his legs sideways, and his left foot turned out very strangely.

Before he could react, the ball was passed between him and Lopez on the left, and then turned around in a C-shaped arc to Gustavo who was going forward.

At this time, because of De Bruyne's forward thrust, he directly led Albio away, so that the combined area on the left side of the top of the arc and the ribs was completely empty.

"pretty!!!"

"Extremely imaginative kick through!!!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, He Wei and Zhang Lu's eyes lit up when they saw Chu Zheng's first introduction of this highly entertaining and highly technical through ball.

In their opinion, Chu Zheng's growth in this year is really amazing. Sometimes they feel unbelievable, and they can't guess how high the upper limit of Chu Zheng's growth is.

At the scene, [-] Wolfsburg fans also burst into drums and cheers instantly, cheering for the team.

On the field, Albio reacted very quickly after he found out that he had been fooled.

He immediately gave up following De Bruyne who was running to the wing, turned to the right and ran to the left rib area at the top of the arc in front of Gustavo.

A second later, he blocked Gustavo.

"Louis, to Bass!!"

When Chu Zheng saw Gustavo facing De Bruyne on the left, he immediately shouted.

But before the words fell, Gustavo parted ways.

After receiving the ball, De Bruyne entered the penalty area from the sideline, dribbled the ball directly to the bottom, and then swept the small penalty area before Albio's sliding shovel blocked it.

boom!A muffled sound!
Dorst succeeded in grabbing a point in the middle of the small penalty area in front of the goal, but he hit an anti-aircraft gun under the interference of Gillam next to him.

Seeing that Dost missed such an excellent scoring opportunity, Dieter Heiking directly covered his face with his hands and rubbed vigorously, obviously depressed.

"fool!!!!!!!!!!"

The Wolfsburg fans on all sides of the stands also let out a rush of annoyance!

On the court, Chu Zheng was also very depressed, but he was depressed because of Gustavo.

Because from his point of view just now, Gustavo is actually not only De Bruyne's shot point.

If he sends the ball to the right side of the penalty area, Dost, who is on the right side of the top of the arc, can directly threaten the goal after cutting forward.

Chu Zheng felt it was a pity!

He knew that Gustavo might not have seen it, but probably couldn't do it.

Because if you choose Dost, it means that Gustavo will send a full arc through ball.

If Chu Zheng was in Gustavo's position, if he hadn't learned De Bruyne's weird arc passing footwork, he would not be sure to pass the ball.
