Chapter 1006: Two to Two, It's Flat!
In the head coach's office at Paris Saint-Germain, Gao Han sat on the sofa, tilted his head, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and sighed softly when no one noticed.
On the opposite wall, the game was 80 minutes into the game, but the score was still 1-2, with the home team in front and the visitors behind, and Pochettino's side still trailing AC Milan.
The only thing that was lucky was not to lose more than three goals to AC Milan.
After replacing the injured Ilya Ramendi with N'Golo Kante in the first half, Pochettino made no substitutions.
But N'Golo Kante, who came off the bench in this game, performed averagely, and the whole team of Chinatown was also sluggish, and they were not excited enough, which is the team's biggest problem now.
"Sergio, what's going on with Arsenal?" asked Gao Han with his eyes closed.
'0-0, haven't scored yet. Sergio Garcia replied.
He is also keeping an eye on the other game in the group.
Unlike Paris Saint-Germain, who won six consecutive games early to advance to the first place in the group, Group C where China Town is located can be described as a big scuffle, and in the final round, there are theoretically three teams with the right to qualify, and AC Milan has also shown great tenacity.
If they lose to AC Milan, China City will be able to retain the right to qualify from the group, but will only settle for second place, which will be a big blow to the morale of the team for Chinatown, who have been leading the group for a long time.
"In his second season, Pochettino was not ideal in terms of rotation. Sergio Garcia shook his head and sighed.
Back last season, Pochettino's problem was exposed.
Every time Chinatown gets caught in a two-front battle, it can only take care of one front, and if the Champions League plays well, there will be problems in the league, and as soon as the league improves, there will be problems in the Champions League, and this season is still the same.
When leading the Champions League group stage, the team's results in La Liga even almost fell out of the top 10 at one point, which was unacceptable to all Chinatown fans, and when the team was adjusted, the league ushered in two consecutive wins and directly caught up with the first army, and the Champions League had problems again, from three consecutive wins to two rounds of winless.
At the end of the day, it's the old problem of team rotation.
This is not obvious at the beginning of the season, but as the schedule progresses, the problem will become clearer.
"His coaching staff is a big fan of the kind of training that pushes the will, and many people describe him as treating players like dogs, and this old military academy training method is obviously effective, but the disadvantages are just as serious. Buenaventura said.
He is a master of physical training under Gao Han, who has followed Gao Han for many years, and is an authority in terms of physical training and physical reserves, and he has always had reservations about Pochettino's training method.
"I agree more with Sergio's judgment that rotation is the big problem. Zinedine Zidane also commented, "I think Pochettino is still not bold enough at the critical moment. β
"What do you say?" Gao Han turned his head and looked at his assistant.
Zidane thought for a moment, "I think that in the away game against Valencia last weekend, it was completely okay to let it go, and even go on the bench. β
Perhaps seeing everyone's doubts, Zidane reorganized again.
'I can totally understand Pochettino's thoughts, he was under a lot of pressure when he fell to 10th in the league and then he went all the way to fifth, which was not easy, but a 0-0 draw at home to Osasuna dropped the team to seventh again, and then he started to get nervous when he met Valencia. β
"Valencia's recent form is not good, with a 4-0 defeat away to MΓ‘laga by Pellegrini, Unai Emery's situation is worrying, and the home team will definitely be dead, there is no doubt about it, but to compete for the league without missing these three points, it is completely possible to rotate and let the main players have more fitness to deal with AC Milan. β
"But at the critical moment, Pochettino's approach was to let the main players stay up, almost the same lineup for two games, and the price came out, Ilia Ramendi was injured, the players were generally not excited enough, and now it is the beginning of December, and the fatigue of continuous combat has already begun to appear. β
When Zidane said this, he shook his head and sighed, "It turned out that Valencia's form was not ideal, and Chinatown defeated the Bats 5-2 away to complete a comeback, but the price was shown in this game. β
Gao Han nodded slightly.
Zidane's words are not an afterthought, he proposed before Chinatown played Valencia away to Valencia, he proposed that he should rotate sharply and concentrate on playing the Champions League first, after all, to be able to qualify first in the group, the opportunity is quite rare, as long as he wins AC Milan at home.
But at the critical moment, Pochettino was still a little conservative.
Of course, this cannot be wrong, after all, his fears are justified, and if a draw with Osasuna and then a defeat away to Valencia will see the team slip down the table again, and maybe even fall to 10th, then the pressure will be even greater.
It's a dilemma, it's not a good or bad choice, it's just a choice based on the personality and style of different managers.
Of course, if Pochettino's rotation system had worked in an orderly manner, this dilemma could have been avoided to the greatest extent.
Pochettino's side finished fifth in La Liga after beating Valencia 5-2 away, but if they don't win this game against AC Milan and finish second in the group, it really won't be worth it.
After all, the second place in the group will face a stronger opponent, and it is entirely possible that Chinatown will stop in the round of 16.
'In addition to the rotation, I think Pochettino's line-up was also problematic in this game. β
Zidane spoke eloquently, with a look of regret on his face.
'AC Milan are in a worse situation, they have to win by more than three goals to qualify, and it stands to reason that Allegri should be in a hurry, but it was Chinatown who took the initiative in the game, and Pochettino exposed his cards too early, which allowed Allegri to play what they do best. β
"If that's all there is, it doesn't hurt, but Chinatown's starting tactics seem to be aggressive, and they also occupy the advantage of possession, but they can't score, and they lack the means to break through the dense defense, which allowed AC Milan to seize the opportunity and play a wave of counter-attacks, and Pochettino still failed to calm down at the critical moment. β
This analysis of the French opinion made everyone in the office agree.
Especially the high cold.
As the best attacking coach in the world, Gao Han has indeed always been worried about Pochettino's ability to adjust the attack, and he has often intervened in the team before, and Falcao, Diego Costa, Michu and Aubameyang can shine, all of which are inseparable from Gao Han's involvement.
But as Gao Han gradually stopped, Pochettino's shortcomings in adjusting the attack were soon exposed.
That doesn't mean Pochettino can't, after all, he's still young and has a big future.
He can quickly learn lessons and make up for his own shortcomings.
But after listening to Zidane's opinion, Gao Han couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the French celebrity.
More importantly, Zidane has played in Serie A and La Liga for many years in his career, and after coaching, he studied under Mourinho, who is the best defender in the world, and now he is interning under Gao Han.
In his daily advice, Gao Han can also feel Zidane's understanding of the ball-controlled play.
Pochettino, on the other hand, has more control of the ball, so he has the advantage of possession but does not know how to use it, and he cannot score, which has become a problem for Pochettino.
Gao Han felt that if he went to the Premier League and succeeded Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, the problem should not be obvious, but in La Liga, this will be exposed.
Chinatown now has Hazard, De Bruyne, Isco, Verratti and other players with excellent ball control ability, the future of the passing and control school is certain, if Pochettino stays, Gao Han will definitely have a good talk with him, and he is now going to Manchester United, then Chinatown should take this opportunity to transform.
You need a manager who is good at passing.
Pep Guardiola would be the most suitable candidate, but Chinatown can't afford to pay him at all, and he is currently in a hot game with Bayern Munich and will not come to Chinatown at all.
Emery Pellegrini?
Well, all are candidates worth considering.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
β¦β¦β¦β¦
As it turns out, although Pochettino has many shortcomings, there is one thing, Gao Han is absolutely not mistaken.
That is the tenacious fighting spirit that he inherited from Bielsa, and never gave up easily.
As the game ticked 80 minutes, Pochettino made a substitution, bringing on Verratti for Miranda and pushing Isco up midfield, transforming the team's tactics into a three-four-three formation, with both full-backs with strong attacking force.
Verratti soon helped China City to sort out their midfield, allowing Isco and Eden Hazard to launch attacks at will in front, while AC Milan were forced to retreat and continue to counter-attack with defence.
In the 85th minute, Verratti split the ball to the right flank.
Antoine Griezmann picked up the ball on the right flank and slammed it across to Isco before the defenders got close.
Isco received the ball and started with the momentum, dribbling the ball from the right rib to the penalty area.
The Spaniards brought the ball and the enthusiasm of all the fans in the stadium was ignited.
I saw him firmly control the ball at his feet under the close proximity of two AC Milan defenders.
Pelle pulled out of the penalty area to answer, but after receiving Isco's pass, he did not turn around, but directly flicked the ball into the box, and Isco quickly inserted into the box, caught up with the ball, and completed a beautiful one-two.
Just as he caught up with the ball, AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati dropped the ball.
But he was fast, Isco was obviously faster, caught up with the ball and pushed it directly.
The ball followed a straight diagonal line and crashed into the goal behind Abbiati.
Two to two, drawn!
Isco, who had a single head on the board, clenched his fists in excitement, but instead of waiting for his teammates to surround him and celebrate, he quickly rushed into the small penalty area, fished out the ball directly from the goal line, and ran quickly to the halfway line.
"Hey, don't waste time, hurry. Isco shouted as he ran back to the halfway line.
In front of the goal in Chinatown, goalkeeper and captain David De Gea was also shouting loudly, signaling his teammates to hurry back and restart the game.
"We've got time, we've got time, guys!" Pochettino was also very excited on the sidelines, and even a little out of shape.
However, the players from China City quickly ran back to their own half and immediately set up their formation, waiting for AC Milan to restart.
But at this moment, a prompt appeared in the live broadcast screen.
Arsenal have scored!
At the eighty-fifth minute, almost at the same time as Chinatown,
