Chapter 163 Offense and Defense
"CechCagliari goalkeeper is very focused" At the moment of Stankovic's shot, Cech also made a save.
Lazio's offense was very fast, and the coaches of both sides had just returned to their positions quickly.
Although there was less media hype in this game, the two head coaches paid close attention to each other, especially the two were the youngest head coaches in Serie A this season, and Li Yi was the youngest head coach in Serie A history.
Therefore, the two chatted a few words on the sidelines, which also caused the coaches of both sides to return to their positions when Lazio attacked in the first wave.
Lazio's first corner kick of the game, which is also Lazio's second goal of the game, came from Stam's header.
However, Stam's header was not a big threat. Under the defense of Barzagli, Stam's header was not experienced enough and was directly confiscated by Cech.
Counterattack, Cagliari immediately returned a kick, also a long-range shot, Stankovic's long-range shot was completed in front of Conte, after receiving the ferry from his teammates, Stankovic rushed up without making adjustments and blasted this high-quality heavy artillery.
In almost the same way, Guardiola picked a pass to Toni, Toni headed the ball across, and the ball came to Poboski's feet.
At this moment, Conte has rushed up. Under the entanglement of Stankovic, the captain of Cagliari still fired a long shot, but Conte's long shot was a bit worse than Stankovic's, and was directly confiscated by the Lazio goalkeeper.
Just looking at the opening, maybe the fans would misunderstand that this will be a match between sparks and the earth, but when the game continued, the fans were a little disappointed.
Because Cagliari was persuaded, after the first round of offensive, the Cagliari players actually started to retreat and gave up the initiative to Lazio.
Different angles have different understandings of a matter, but at the moment, as the head coach of Lazio, Mancini doesn't think that this is Li Yi's confession. In Mancini's view, this is Li Yi's challenge to him.
Almost one-third of the league has passed. In this one-third of the game, Li Yi's Cagliari tactical style and Serie A opponents have already understood.
Passionate offensive, watching Cagliari's games never lacks goals, whether it is against AC Milan at the beginning of the season or against Roma later, even if Li Yi is suspended, Cagliari continues the consistent tactical style.
For this game, Mancini studied and watched Cagliari for a week. According to the information he collected, Cagliari is the team with the most goals at the beginning of Serie A this season. They even scored goals shortly after the start of many games, and then used this advantage to play with their opponents.
But in this game, Cagliari did the opposite. He actually gave up the previous tactics of launching a strong attack and chose to retreat and defend firmly.
"I heard that your offense is good, so let me weigh it." In Mancini's eyes, that's what Li Yi meant.
Of course, this was Mancini's own interpretation. As for why Li Yi made this arrangement, it was entirely to win the match.
Now that Su Yazuo is deployed, it is necessary to use Su Yazo's speed as much as possible, and the tactic that can maximize Su Yazo's speed is to base on defense and counterattack quickly.
Although the Lazio team had Stankovic as a long-range gunner, Li Yi was still willing to gamble that Petr Cech could block Stankovic's long-range shots.
In fact, Cech deserves Li Yi's trust. In the 5th minute, Lazio ushered in the second wave of the game, and it was Stankovic who completed the shot.
Although there were Corradi and Inzaghi Jr. on the front line, under the defense of Barzagli and Hierro, the two did not get any good opportunities.
In this case, what Lazio can rely on is set-pieces and long-range shots. At present, Cagliari has not given Lazio any chance to set-pieces.
"Long shot Another long shot Petr Cech directly confiscated the ball this time." However, Stankovic's first long shot was not as high as the first one.
Immediately Cagliari wanted to counterattack quickly, but Lazio's reaction was not slow. Although Cagliari finally finished the shot, the ball did not hit the goal frame.
Time passed slowly in the offense and defense of the two sides. Lazio had the advantage and shot more times, but they still failed to break through Cagliari's goal.
Cech has become the biggest focus of this game. High-blocking and low-blocking are no longer enough to describe Cech's busyness during this period. In contrast, Lazio goalkeeper Peruzzi seems a bit boring.
Although Cagliari can also come up with a good counterattack, Suazo's state is really bad today. In the first three and 10 minutes, Suazo had five shots, but only one of the five shots was within the range of the goal frame, forcing Peruzzi to make a save.
This is Suazo's short board. What is the most important thing for a striker?Stable, stable state, stable goal rate, from the current performance of Su Yazo, he does not have such stability.
Even in Serie B, although Su Yazo was the main force, he was often rotated, and now in Serie A, it goes without saying.
After all, Cagliari now has more options for the striker, and whether it is Tony, Zola or Milito is better than Suazo.
Milito has almost adapted. In the recent games, as long as Milito is given a chance, the Argentine striker can perform well. This also makes Li a little troubled.
Leaving aside Li Yi's troubles, the game gradually stabilized on the pitch. The failure to break through the Cagliari goal in the past 10 minutes was a blow to Lazio's morale.
Moreover, attacking all the time consumes a lot of physical energy of the players, not to mention that Cagliari will make a quick counterattack from time to time, forcing the Lazio players to desperately return to defense.
"Since the opponent is no longer good, we should take back the initiative." Taking advantage of a dead ball, Li Yi called Guardiola to his side.
Li Yi's actions naturally failed to escape Mancini's eyes, and Mancini immediately called Albertini to his side: "Cagliari must want to seize our physical exhaustion period, tell everyone, retreat and defend, and we will fight back."
"Since your team can do it, there's no way my team can't do it." After ordering Albertini, Mancini said silently to Li Yi who was not far away.
"Oh The offense and defense have been reversed Cagliari started to take the ball and take the initiative to attack." After Giovanni's voice fell, Cagliari immediately shot the most threatening shot since the opening.
