Chapter 192: The Defending Champion's Appearance

Allegri's face has always been written with the word "sorrow" this season, there are many reasons for the poor performance of the new season, he actually has less responsibility, the net investment in the summer transfer market is not much, and most of the money is to buy out Ibrahimovic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Then Ibrahimovic was absent due to injury, which led to a very unfavorable attack of the team, Ibrahimovic is such a player, where he can be the core of the attack, it is not a question of whether the manager does it or not, there are other people in Barcelona who can rely on, but AC Milan does not, Allegri can only rely on him.

The Ibrahimovic dependence of Inter Milan has reappeared in AC Milan.

It is rumored that he is not on good terms with Pirlo, but is this actually the case?! No, he is not so unfriendly with Pirlo, more of the reason is from the top of AC Milan, the team is unwilling to provide Pirlo with a satisfactory contract, people are naturally leaving, there are very few loyal players in these years, and from another point of view, the club is sorry for others first.

Tactics, the intention of the top management and other reasons caused him not to always insist on using Pirlo but constantly downplaying the influence of Pirlo, last season seemed to be really good, but the new season is without Ibrahimovic, the impact of Pirlo's departure is revealed, his team can not control the situation, no matter what opponent dares to attack them after a few rounds, this must be dangerous, the results have confirmed everything.

Allegri is still worried about today's game, because he has studied Juventus, and Conte's tactical thinking has not yet been fixed, but there are people in the Juventus team, Pirlo and Zhang Yuan are people who can change the result of the game by themselves.

Zhang Yuan's shadow on Allegri is a bit big, last year's game against Real Madrid, Zhang Yuan brought a deep impression to AC Milan, will he continue to devour the aging AC Milan like a tiger out of the mountain, Allegri prays that Zhang Yuan will not do it.

Before the players played, Conte and Allegri were already waiting in the coach's box, when Conte walked out of the passage, he walked to the AC Milan coach's box, Allegri also walked quickly to Conte, the two shook hands, smiled and exchanged a few words.

Today is not Allegri's big test, it's Conte's big test, and he needs to prove his conditioning ability.

Today, Conte continues to use the 433 formation, which is also considered, against Catania 433 does not seem to be particularly good, but Conte believes that the attack and defense are still relatively balanced, against AC Milan, in fact, the midfield of both sides is young against old.

Lao Bei was reluctant to continue to invest heavily, Pirlo was reluctant to give a better contract, and he was still free to leave, and they always wanted to be younger, but where is it so easy to find young talents, Galliani retained the loyal Seedorf and brought in Van Bommel, who was older than Pirlo.

AC Milan's midfield triangle, with the exception of Nocerino is in his playing years, Seedorf and Van Bommel are clearly aged.

Conte continues to use Vidal and Marchisio, Pirlo's trio in the midfield, Pirlo moves slowly, the ball is slower, but the accuracy and timing are well grasped, Vidal and Marchisio's main role in the midfield is not only to intercept, they are all-round, they are runners, Conte's idea is to run AC Milan's midfield to death.

Today's referee who enforces this key battle is Rizzoli, the referee committee is always a headache for these strong conversations, the referee is not easy to send, there are always various controversies after the game, and their general approach is to send you a golden whistle.

Rizzoli is such a golden whistle, the Italian golden whistle after Collina.

The players from both sides led the caddies in the players' tunnel and began to walk out, and the fans in the stadium burst into applause and cheers.

At the end of a series of ceremonies, the game officially began, Allegri's idea to play was also in the midfield, in the first few minutes, AC Milan was still quite vigorous, and the running ability was relatively strong, and the two sides fought very fiercely in the midfield, and the fouls continued.

Rizzoli's whistle also continued, as did the boos of the fans in the stadium.

A few years ago the relationship between the two clubs was quite good, people called them Holy League, and they also had a special pre-season friendly called the Berlusconi Cup, and yes, this cup has been played against these two clubs since its inception.

Gianluigi Buffon was injured in one cup tournament and AC Milan loaned their goalkeeper Abbiati to Juventus on a free loan, which is enough to illustrate the relationship between them.

However, the relationship between everyone in recent years is not as deep and friendly as before, but it is not bad, this game Galliani and Agnelli also agreed to have dinner together after the game, this dinner seems to be a little late, it can be called a supper.

After a messy opening few minutes on the Juventus side, Andrea Pirlo's effectiveness and that of the two versatile midfielders began to work, with AC Milan starting to be at a slight disadvantage in midfield.

Zhang Yuan's position today is very different from the previous one, and Conte once made a special tactical arrangement for him before the game.

"They have a lot of experience in defending the backline, if you are close, it is difficult to play your role without a header advantage, today you don't need to be a post center, you should be more timely to recycle, to respond to the midfield, if their defense puts pressure on us in advance, it's a good thing for you, you have the speed, I believe you can always seize a chance to kill them!"

Conte's strategy is like this, with a center forward looks like there is no center forward, and he plays like a striker, and the conditions are more suitable in all aspects today.

Conte's tactics are mainly to take into account AC Milan's attacking position, and now AC Milan's biggest attacking route is the middle, Zhang Yuanhui can form a piece with Juventus's midfield, and AC Milan's power is on par.

AC Milan will not have any advantage on the side, AC Milan's formation is destined to the full-backs must press support, of course, they can also not support, then the offensive means are too single, Allegri will definitely not do this.

Juventus' two wingers can make a good difference and they can look for some opportunities on the flanks.

In the 7th minute, Krasic passed back to Lichtsteiner, who passed directly diagonally to the AC Milan penalty area, Zhang Yuan started from outside the box and rushed to the top before Thiago Silva got the ball, the ball was lifted off the crossbar by Abbiati, which was Juventus' first attack on goal, which was very threatening.

Zhang Yuan can't have an advantage with the fixed position, but such a rush, not to mention Thiago Silva, who is shorter than him, even Nesta can't jump over him, unless they stand in a good position, but unfortunately they didn't have it just now.

Li Jun slapped his thigh fiercely and let out a "buzz" exclamation with the fans.

"It's almost! It would be nice if Zhang Yuan was tricky with this ball!" Li Jun exclaimed unwillingly.

Zhang Yuan scratched his scalp a few times, he thought that this ball was nine out of ten, how could he know that Abbiati was not a vegetarian at a young age, which was quite a pity.

Allegri yelled loudly on the field, he was not very satisfied with his team's defense at this moment, Silva made a mistake in judging the landing point, did not take the lead in the position, probably he did not expect Zhang Yuan's bounce ability, he can actually get the ball before him.

What's more terrible is that Lichtsteiner's pass is undefended, simply put, the side is empty, and no one in the middle has gone to fill the position, which is very bad, Juventus is on Zhang Yuan, this ability to grab points is not very strong, Allegri knows very well, but what if Zhang Yuan grabs a point like just now?!

The defending champion can't be like that!

Pirlo took a tactical corner, and the set-piece was actually quite good for AC Milan's air defense, and of course Juventus's set-piece threat was not bad, but it was Pirlo who chose a tactical corner in this ball.

He passed to Pepe and the AC Milan defence started to move and they had to move forward immediately for offside.

Zhang Yuan was originally in the middle, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he began to run around the back point, and Pepe passed the ball to Pirlo, who passed directly to the back point without looking.

A little high, a little far, Zhang Yuan could not escape the AC Milan player's marking of him, Bonella and him at the same time to the ball, Bonella wanted to rub the ball to the sideline on the other side, and Zhang Yuan wanted to push the ball back into the penalty area, let his teammates grab the point.

Bonella actually stood better than Zhang Yuan, his landing judgment was accurate and he resisted Zhang Yuan on the outside.
