Chapter 438: It's Derby Again
After losing to Inter Milan in the last Milan derby, Zaccheroni has begun to slowly change some of his thinking, relying on midfield control to attack the routine is obviously no longer suitable for the current AC Milan, so he started from the traditional Italian concept, or to stabilize the back line first, so the winter transfer market bought Kaladze to strengthen the defensive strength.
Zaccheroni proved to be the right choice to compromise this time, and AC Milan also climbed from 8th place to 6th place in the league, although they are a little far from participating in next year's Champions League, but as long as they maintain their form, there is no problem in playing in the UEFA Cup.
Vincent found himself in a mess wherever he went, with a Paris match every year when he was in Bordeaux, and now the schedule is also dense with strong opponents, strong league rivals and Champions League opponents one after another, which makes the physical fitness of Inter Milan players face a huge test.
Before the start of the Milan derby, Inter Milan ushered in a big positive, Ronaldo finally returned to the game, after a year of injury, the aliens may once again gallop on the green field, but this is only internal, external is still Ronaldo is still recovering training, to play the game still has to be monkey years.
On the evening of the end of the Champions League semifinals, the opponent of the Inter Milan final also appeared, Fan Shang smiled, the old opponent, the German hegemon Bayern Munich, when Fan Shang just debuted, the first season was to step on the shoulders of this giant to achieve the legend of the Bordeaux dark horse to win the championship, as well as the next two consecutive championships.
Now after coming to Inter Milan, the first final opponent is Bayern Munich, which makes Fan Shang sigh that the road is narrow.
Two days before the Milan derby, AC Milan suddenly announced a news, which surprised the whole of Italy, that is, AC Milan has terminated the contract with the original coach Zaccheroni, and at the same time attracted a head coach to live in San Siro, this is also an old Milanese, he is the father of the current AC Milan captain Maldini, the old Maldini.
However, Maldini Sr. is a pure firefighting coach and his contract is signed until this summer, and his aim is to try to ensure that AC Milan do not lose their European qualification in the next few rounds.
The old Maldini really chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the first game was the same city derby with Inter Milan, but if Zaccheroni continues to be used, it is very likely that AC Milan will suffer another big defeat, and the old Maldini is an absolutely conservative style of play, so the senior management of AC Milan will hurriedly put the old Maldini on the stage.
This time the Milan derby is finally Inter Milan's home stadium, but the dressing room remains the same, but the blue and black in the stands clearly outweigh the red and black, which is also a manifestation of home advantage.
When Fan Shang got the starting lineup of the old Maldini, he was really shocked, "No, this is two buses at the door, no, why are so many people standing in the backline?" Anyway, Fan Shang took a look at the defenders, and he didn't know what formation the old Maldini would arrange when he fell to the ground.
But now the biggest headache is not Fan Shang, but Caressa, holding AC Milan's starting lineup and worrying, what kind of formation is this? It took a long time to discuss with Zoff before starting the live broadcast of this game, and when it was time to broadcast the starting lineups of both sides, Caresa first reported the starting lineup of Inter Milan, "Today, as the home team, Inter Milan still uses their usual 442 formation, goalkeeper Frei, four defenders Zanetti, Blanco, Gamara and Thuram, midfielders Emerson, Redondo, Camoranesi, Seedorf, forwards Vieri and Hakansuk. Today we were pleasantly surprised to see that in the substitute lineup of Inter Milan, Ronaldo, who had been resting for nearly a year due to injury, sat there, and I don't know if he can play today. ”
Today, Vincent put Ronaldo, who has returned from injury, in the bench lineup, although he is not going to use him yet, but this alien is a big threat to AC Milan.
"Let's take a look at AC Milan's starting line-up, to be honest I still haven't figured out what their formation is, so I'll just read the names of the players and look at the specific formation when it's time for the game." Careza racked his brains to come up with this statement, "AC Milan's goalkeeper is the veteran Rossi, and today's defenders are: Costacuta, Maldini, Helwig, Júnior, Kaladze, Sergio, midfielder, Gattuso, Leonardo, forwards Shevchenko and Comantini. "With that said, he ignored the messy starting lineup and turned his attention to the pitch.
Fan Shang is still confused, even if the game is about to start, he still takes AC Milan's starting lineup and discusses with Zeng Jia and Bergomi, "What is the situation? 622? ”
"Hehe, I don't know, but let's take a look at their positions in a while, I haven't heard of this kind of 622 formation before!" Zeng Jia didn't quite understand either.
Although Bergomi and Maldini Sr. worked together in the Italian national team, Maldini Sr. sent six defenders to make him quite puzzling.
Then a few people stared at AC Milan without blinking, hoping to see something before watching the game.
Sure enough, there is really something to gain, today AC Milan's formation Fan Shang really saw it, it was a 532, and there were five people in the back line, from left to right were Maldini, Kaladze, Costacuta, Júnior and Helwig, three midfielders Sergio, Gattuso, Leonardo, strikers Shevchenko and Comantini.
At this time, Caresa and Zoff also understood AC Milan's formation, and quickly broadcast it again, "It seems that the old Maldini doesn't want to lose the first game, but it's difficult to win this game like this." Zoff analyzed.
"It's going to start soon, it's probably a battle of spear and shield, and I don't know if Inter Milan can get three points to expand their lead, or AC Milan can withstand the pressure and get points to secure their European place." Carresa analyzed the significance of this game for both teams very thoroughly.
After the opening, just like the two said, AC Milan retreated across the board, that is, Shevchenko and Comantini were left near the midfield, and Inter Milan continued to use the double center forward to create an aerial threat to AC Milan, but today AC Milan's back is relatively empty, only Gattuso is alone, although he is fierce and can run, but after all, there is one person, and the protection in front of the penalty area is still not enough.
