Serie A: Cremona vs. Sassuolo! The magic coach is good at playing strong teams, but it is not good at playing weak teams?
12:55am, 30 August 2025【Football】
Let me first declare that I respect Cremona head coach Nikola very much. I even think that it only represents my personal subjective view. I think he is the strongest relegation coach in football history, and I have a full respect for his coaching career.
But I do think that Cremona directly asked him to be the head coach after the upgrade was a sign of lack of ambition.
Although they defeated a giant like AC Milan in the first round, I still find it hard to believe them today.
Because there is a question here - why is Nikola's ability to lead the team to relegate so outrageously, but it is difficult to stay in a team for a long time. Often, he has to abdicate and give in after completing the relegation?
Let's first see how he relegated.
Nicola is most well-known for his 5-time Serie A story, and he is relegated to the 18th place, and he can always relegate in a thrilling way.
On the psychological level, he is extremely good at motivating the team and can use various stories, oaths, promises, goals, etc. to give the team a lot of blood.
But what are the disadvantages?
The disadvantage is that this kind of chicken blood cannot last for a long time.
So we see that he leads those relegation teams, and they always burst out suddenly at a certain period of time, scoring crazy points in 5 games and 6 games in a row, but then they will suddenly collapse, such as being beaten 8-2 by Atlanta.
This is one of the reasons why it is difficult for him to coach the same team for a long time, and chicken blood is always short-term.
And what about the tactical level? What are his tactics for the 17th place in Serie A in those five times?
has 442, 3421, 352, 532, etc. It seems to be slightly different, but in fact the core idea is the same - defensive counterattack, and it is the key defense, followed by counterattack.
This tactic is easy to relegate and can be kneaded and formed very quickly.
But old fans can tell at a glance that this is obviously not in line with the trend of contemporary football. Strong teams rarely play like this, and even many relegation teams are unwilling to play like this.
Moreover, it is especially not suitable for playing in Green Barcelona.
Who is the current coach of Barcelona?
is the famous soul-bearing great left-back Grosso.
Grosso certainly understands Italian defense, how could he not understand? And an expert.
After coaching Sassuolo, although he retained some of the high-pressure pressing, triangle coordination and other elements left by Dezelby, he was more offensive and defensive overall and would not blindly pursue ball possession rate.
Playing Serie B last season, Sassuolo's possession rate of 52.4% was not too high, but while ensuring strong firepower, the number of clean sheets is still the second most in the league, and it is a team that is very mature in running-in.
Of course, his tactics also have many weaknesses.
For example, 1v1 people in the high-pressing stage will be very fragile when they encounter strong teams, because the team's budget is low and the players' personal abilities are too weak, so they are easily slipped by strong teams, etc.
But Cremona has no advantage in personal ability and no complicated offensive routines. In the last game, he played against Milan, except for counterattacks, but also headed the ball with various crosses.
Although the record of defeating Milan is very scary, it actually only has 4 shots in the game. It is very lucky to score a header and a stunning barb. If their playing style is not lost in one game, it is actually normal.
So, everyone should have seen that although the two sides have a big gap in their first round record, Sassuolo still received a lot of respect, which is actually in line with the fundamentals.
So, what do you think about whether Sassuolo can satisfy the fans? The small cocktail party looks forward to them winning the game!
Okay, for other competitions today, Xiaojiu will still send you text opinions in the evening. If you have any questions, please ask me, "Look at the football and see it clearly", we will see you all!
