Chapter 480: What to Do?

It's no secret that AC Milan have problems. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even at the Milanello training base, everyone agrees on this.

In the first 14 rounds, the team conceded a total of 15 goals, but in the last seven rounds they have conceded 10, and it is clear that the team's defense has dropped significantly as the season progresses, and the continuous operation of multiple fronts.

According to the current data, the team can only compete with Udinese, Palermo and other teams at best.

Inter Milan and Juventus?

That's something that can't even catch up with a horse.

Everyone is wondering, what is wrong with AC Milan's defense?

The backline is largely uninjured and Gattuso is as brave as ever, with only Ambrosini injured, while the Rossoneri remain unbeaten in Milan's midfield appearances.

Is it because of him?

Ancelotti doesn't see it that way, he believes that this is due to a combination of factors, especially the team's tactical play, as well as the ups and downs of the players' form, especially the many veterans in the team, which makes it difficult for the team to deal with multi-front operations.

If it was just the backline, it wouldn't be much, but now even the forward line is flawed.

'Vieri just told me that against Inter Milan he was ready and at least wanted to come off the bench. ”

In Milanello's manager's office, Ancelotti stood in front of Tasotti and other members of the coaching staff, and sighed bitterly, "This is the second time this week that he has asked me to play." ”

Vieri joined AC Milan with great ambitions, but as a result, he was not used at all in the Rossoneri.

There's no way around it, Shevchenko, Inzaghi and Gilardino are the strikers of AC Milan.

Even Cassano, the golden boy who transferred from Rome this season, had to take a back seat and it was difficult to appear on the front line, which also made the bad-tempered Uncle Cassano very unhappy.

If other teams are worried about the lack of soldiers, then Carlo Ancelotti's forward line is overcrowded.

really responded to an ancient poem, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

'Pippo also called me and he wanted to play Inter as well, and he said he had an advantage in playing Inter. ”

Ancelotti said this, smiling wryly and shaking his head.

Everyone knows that after Gao Han became the owner of Inter Milan, he adopted a strategy of pressing on the attack, which is indeed quite suitable for Inzaghi, who is good at countering offside, but the problem is that AC Milan has other strikers.

"After training yesterday, Shevchenko and Gilardino said the same thing to me, they both wanted to play Inter Milan, I don't know when Inter Milan became so popular. Ancelotti smiled bitterly.

If Vieri wants to play Inter Milan because of some previous personal grudges, then Gilardino, Shevchenko and Inzaghi want to grab this main position, obviously to prove their value in the team.

At the same time, they both want to break down Inter's goal.

Since Gao Han took charge of Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri have not only become a thorn in the side of all managers in Serie A, but even the players are eager to play against Inter Milan, and everyone knows that playing Inter Milan has done well and attracted far more attention than playing ten other league games.

This is especially true for strikers who score goals.

"To be a manager, to be able to be to the point of high cold, there is really no one!" Ancelotti shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The others laughed helplessly.

Gao Han's appeal is not only reflected in his cultivation and reuse of players, but also in his opponents.

In this regard, there is really no one else who can compare.

"Tell me, what to do?" Ancelotti asked, looking at his assistants.

Everyone also looked at each other, which is indeed a big problem.

It's like the game against Schalke 04, the starters were Shevchenko and Gilardino, but as a result, Inzaghi sat on the bench sulking, and his heart was angry, and finally in the second half, after coming off the bench, Shevchenko was replaced, and as a result, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead was also angry, and he walked off the field expressionlessly, refusing to even say hello to Ancelotti.

After the game, Inzaghi said in an interview with the media that he was not able to play when he was not retired, and he was very angry, but he can still express it reasonably, but if it goes on like this, he doesn't know how long he can endure it.

Anyone can hear that this is a threat.

Shevchenko was more direct, as the Ukrainian striker, who has been linked with Chelsea lately, complained directly after the game that he performed well against Schalke Zero-Four and did not understand why the manager was taking him off.

The meaning is also very clear, if you want to change, why not change to Gilardino who is in worse shape?

Then he added: "He's the manager, who's on and who doesn't, the choice is up to him, I don't have much to say, but I want to have my own choice." ”

The meaning is still very clear, this is also a threat, and even means that he has already moved the idea of transferring.

But what did Gilardino say?

"I'm not used to rotation, for me it's a very new word, I started every game at Parma and I'm used to it. ”

The homegrown centre-forward, who has made the most appearances this season, is also very clear, and he must stay in the main position.

Plus a Vieri who sits on the bench from time to time, but is faintly a landmine......

The situation that Ancelotti is facing now can't help but feel like a big head for any person.

If it is said that multiple players compete for the main team and are in good shape with each other, then it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to play in turns, but the problem is that these three strikers have not been in good form in recent times.

Shevchenko has not been able to regain his form since returning from injury, and although there was a four-goal performance in a single game in the Champions League, it was just an outburst, and then it quickly fell into a dead silence.

Gilardino has also failed to score in many games, Big Inzaghi is also intermittent and has been very inconsistent, and as for Vieri, he has lost his main position for a long time and is not taken seriously by Ancelotti.

In other words, several of AC Milan's strikers are not in good shape, but it can also be said that they urgently need the excitement of the game to find their form of goals, which is why they value consistency so much.

"What to do?" Ancelotti asked his team of assistants again.

He now felt that his whole head was as big as a fight, and he was really tired.

But none of the aides could answer his question.

Moreover, they all know in their hearts that the lack of a weak forward line is only one of AC Milan's problems.

Visiting the Meazza Stadium to challenge Inter Milan, AC Milan also face a more serious problem.

That's defense!

…………

…………

It was also Thursday, the same morning, while Carlo Ancelotti was in Milanello discussing with his assistants how to deal with Inter Milan, and Gao Han was also studying AC Milan with his assistants in Pinettina.

Just yesterday, Inter Milan beat Parma 1-0 away to win the first leg of the Coppa Italia round of 16 knockout tie and the Nerazzurri's first Coppa Italia win of the season.

The only goal came from Cruise.

The Argentine centre-forward is still very trustworthy, although most of the time he plays in a rotation role, but he has been able to perform every time he starts and substitutes, which has made Gao Han trust him very much, and the team signed him a new contract early.

Palermo has always pursued Cruise, and Gao Han is also trying to break Palermo's thoughts early.

Crews also had some concerns about his role at Inter Milan, wanting to play more, and Gao Han promised to play as much as possible, while also being very positive about his role in the team, which successfully persuaded the Argentine to stay.

As soon as his contract was renewed, Cruise started and scored in the Coppa Italia.

This made Inter Milan very satisfied, and at the same time, they were more confident in the upcoming Milan derby.

Because in the game against Parma, Gao Han fully rotated six starting lineups, and even the goalkeeper arranged for Toldo to start, just to retain his strength to play AC Milan.

'The most dangerous player for AC Milan is Kaka, I know him very well, he is the most consistent and dangerous attacking player for AC Milan in the last period and we have to keep him at bay. ”

Gao Han's words were immediately agreed by the coaching staff.

"You're right, to freeze Kaka, you have to try not to give him space to sprint, or to minimise his chances of getting the ball. Cantarero is also very familiar with Kaka, "We all know that once Kaka sprints, no one can stop him. ”

Breaking through with the ball at high speed has become a major signature move of Kaka in La Liga and Serie A, and it is also his sharpest and most threatening weapon.

"But we can't ignore Kaka's prowess in possession and assists. Pep Guardiola reminded.

He has been teammates with Kaka, and he knows Kaka very well, so he knows that Kaka is not only only able to break through with the ball at high speed, but his passing and assist abilities are also outstanding, but the weapon in front is too amazing, which greatly covers up the demeanor of the latter weapon and is ignored.

Gao Han nodded: "It is difficult to completely limit Kaka with ordinary defense, we need to fight as a team, relying on our midfield." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads one after another.

A player with excellent personal ability like Kaka either has to arrange a special person to mark closely, or he has to arrange targeted tactics to control the local area, try to weaken Kaka's threat, and even unceremoniously foul when it is time to foul.

Sometimes, fouls are also a very effective tactic that can both slow down the opponent and interrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Of course, the premise is that the foul must be away from the threat zone.

"Cambiaso should be up to the task. Pep Guardiola suggested.

Guardiola still admires the Argentine midfielder with the title of Redondo II, and even wonders why Real Madrid would give up this excellent midfielder?

Gao Han also agrees with this, Cambiaso's performance this season is better than last season, and he is more stable, although he is a single midfielder, but he has both offense and defense, which is very in line with his tactical requirements.

"There's a two-on-three training session this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Gao Han commanded.

Two to three?

Everyone was a little surprised at first, and then suddenly realized.

AC Milan's tactics are no secrets, and Carlo Ancelotti is notoriously immutable.

This Milan derby must still be a two-striker partnership Kaka, with Andrea Pirlo on the right with Gattuso on the right, and Seedorf on the left, if there is no accident.

Gao Han specially arranged two to three, obviously to let Figo and Veron suppress AC Milan's three midfielders.

Maybe it could even be the winner of the Milan derby.
