Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, AC Milan still failed to break through Brescia's goal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

'The first half ended with AC Milan and Brescia tied 0-0 and now both sides are back in the dressing room to take a break and prepare for the second half. Coach Zhang, how do you evaluate this first half of the game? In the CCTV broadcast room, Huang *Jian*xiang retracted his gaze that had been projected on the live broadcast screen, turned to Zhang Lu beside him and asked.

"In the first half, it can be said that both sides played a good half of the game. For most of the time leading up to Taray's injury, Brescia had been in a certain ascendancy. But Tare's injury deprived Brescia of a tactical pivot in their attack. After the absence of a tactical center, both Baggio and Zhang Shu's aggression is greatly reduced. Brescia had no choice but to abandon the attack and shift their focus to defense. ”

"From the Milan side, it didn't work well to let Rui Costa organize the attack before, and you see that Shevchenko and Inzaghi today, including the entire Milan team, are very tired. This game was the last game before the winter break, and the previous consecutive week of double matches had basically exhausted the players' physical strength. So they need to be in control of the rhythm. Carlo Ancelotti made a good move to organise Andrea Pirlo's attack, and Milan had plenty of chances in the second half of the first half. ”

"What does the coach think of Zhang Shu's performance in the first half?"

"Zhang Shu didn't get any chances on the offensive side today, and judging from his performance after he came on the field, Mazzoni asked him to limit Pirlo, and from this point of view, his performance was still good. I've got a statistic here that you can look at. Before Zhang Shu came on the pitch, Pirlo's passes to the rest of the Milan players were very average. After Zhang Shu came on the field, Pirlo's total number of passes did not decrease, but the proportion of return passes increased significantly, with forward passes accounting for only 15%, and the receivers were all Rui Costa. ”

What does this mean, that after Zhang Shu came on the pitch, Milan's attack actually returned to the tactics led by Rui Costa, and Pirlo only took on the role of a transit station, rather than playing to his strengths in scheduling and tempo control. And before Zhang Shu came on the field, Pirlo had many forward insertions, and then there were no forward insertions. From this point of view, Zhang Shu's defense is still effective. ”

Zhang Lu is a professional football practitioner, and with the help of data and broadcast footage, he discovered the problem earlier than Pirlo on the field.

----------------------

Before returning to the dressing room, Carlo Ancelotti also got the analysis of the first half of the game from the assistant coach, he looked down for a moment, his brow furrowed, and then he folded the data in his pocket and walked briskly towards the dressing room.

Unlike other stadiums, the San Siro/Meazza Stadium has three dressing rooms as AC Milan and Inter Milan share the same home stadium. One for Milan, one for Inter, and a cramped and humble away dressing room. Milan's dressing room is one of the most luxurious, with a row of wardrobes in an oval shape, individual leather chairs in front of the cabinets, and a TV on top of each cabinet, so players can choose their favorite program at any time. Straight in the middle of the dressing room, Milan's crest sparkles in the light cast from the top.

However, now in this luxurious dressing room, it looks a little dull.

Carlo Ancelotti closed the door to the dressing room and kept the hustle and bustle of the pitch out.

"Andre, do you think Zhang is under pressure on your defense?" Without superfluous nonsense, Ancelotti asked Pirlo bluntly.

Pirlo thought for a moment, "A little, but it's not a big problem. ”

"So why have you made so many fewer forward passes since he came on and there were no forward assists, and almost all of the forward passes were to Costa, was it because of the pressure that the opponent gave you?"

Pirlo was stunned, he didn't see anything wrong on the field, but when the manager said it, he thought about it carefully and realized that it seemed to be the case.

Zhang Shu's defense against him is not the kind of tough defensive style that he encountered when he played in the front midfield, but when he wants to pass the ball forward, Zhang Shu's outstretched foot will always block the direction of his pass.

But when he pulls back and gets the ball back in control, he always finds an opportunity to get the ball out. As a result, when I think about it now, the forward passes were indeed to Rui Costa, and almost all of them were back passes.

In this way, are the passing gaps that I think I am shaking out really out of my own way?

Pirlo continued to think about why he hadn't noticed something wrong, and he couldn't remember what he was thinking. All that was left in his mind was Zhang Shu's non-stop mental pollution of his chatter.

It turns out that this is the purpose of him pulling himself to chat all the time! It dawned on Andrea Pirlo that most of the time, he was really passing the ball out of a gap just because of his body's long-standing habit of playing football, without even thinking about it.

This kid is so cunning!

-----------------------------

In the dressing room in Brescia, Mazzoni was praising Zhang Shu.

"Zhang, you did a great job in the first half, although you didn't completely limit Pirlo, but it didn't make a big difference. I don't even know how you do it. You really surprised me. ”

"Hehe, it's just that Milan's brain doesn't have time to think, Dad, I'll just say I'm good defensively." Zhang Shu replied vaguely while stuffing the food into his mouth.

After running with Pirlo for so long, and having to keep talking, Zhang Shu's physical strength has been consumed by more than half, and he used up the "stagnation" skill after halftime, and now he is trying to fill his hunger.

Not only that, but in order to be able to successfully limit Pirlo's passes, he also used new skills learned at level 5.

"Insight" (Level 2): An object within 10 meters of the host can be selected to be no more than 40 cm long, wide, and high, and its state can be predicted after 1 second.

This skill allows Zhang Shu to know exactly which direction the opponent wants to pass the ball before Pirlo makes a move.

Zhang Shu originally only planned to spend one skill point on this skill, but after clicking the skill, he found that the first-level "insight" skill can only act on objects with a circumference of less than 20 centimeters.

The diameter of the standard match ball set by FIFA is 22.1 cm.

Seeing that the skill that had spent a valuable skill point had become a waste, Zhang Shu almost wanted to cry without tears. It's like a gambler who lost a red eye, his flesh hurt for a long time, and in the end he still added the remaining skill points to this skill.

Fortunately, this skill has played a huge role, otherwise Zhang Shu would have lost all his money.
