Chapter 109: New Tactics

For the upcoming May, it can be said that there are a lot of games, and AC Milan has defeated many teams, such as Parma, Purple Lily Fiorentina and other traditional strong teams.

Just say that Parma has an Italian star Gilardino, who is 22 years old, but scored 23 goals in a single season, very strong, AC Milan originally wanted to introduce him in the summer transfer window, but because of the introduction of the Sao Paulo twin stars, so it was shelved, less than half of the season at the beginning of the season, Gilardino scored 8 goals, and the efficiency was very high.

If this trend continues, it is likely that he will be brought in in in the transfer window during the winter break season or next year's summer transfer window, replacing Tomasson, who is currently underperforming.

Since Zhang Qing came this season, Thomas has not performed well, firstly, he has not been given any opportunity and time to play, and secondly, Zhang Qing has performed too well, and he has not been given or used to perform at all.

In the face of multi-front operations, AC Milan also needs to buy a good striker, and now there are actually many strikers who have had scandals, and this Gilardino is one.

In addition to AC Milan's efforts in the league, their Champions League matches basically have to ensure an unbeaten record, plus the Italian Cup competition to reach the semi-finals, so every game cannot be lost.

And the record is true, by the end of November, the standings once bit Juventus, with the same number of points, and the disadvantage of goal difference occupies the second place in the standings.

In the cup competition, they eliminated a number of teams from Serie A and Serie B, and finally reached the quarterfinals of the cup.

In the group stage of the Champions League, they have already locked the top spot in the group early and began to prepare for the knockout stage.

The final group game was basically a training session, while the second place team will go to Borussia Dortmund, who beat Ajax and can basically qualify.

In this way, the last round of the Champions League group stage has become a chicken rib, and everyone starts to train with each other to prepare for the subsequent games.

December is a very important season, as they will face a direct challenge from Juventus, the old lady at the top of the table.

The Champions League group stage and the Coppa Italia follow-up matches will not start until February of the following year, so the team has a long period of time only to care about the league, and the league at this time will slowly enter a double match a week, but the strength and intensity of the game is much weaker than the previous one, and many teams are also relying on this time to rush up to the points, especially some teams that fight on multiple fronts.

Of these Serie A teams, only Roma did not break through in the group stage, and they were determined to be unable to qualify one round in advance, while the remaining Juventus and Inter Milan will enter the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League together with AC Milan.

It is not uncommon for teams to enter three Serie A teams in the knockout round of the Champions League, and everyone will not feel anything strange, because the strength of Serie A is relatively strong, and the Milan duo and the old woman Juventus are basically no problem every year, and the only one is Rome or Fiorentina to compete for it.

While their quality is unquestionable, the multi-front battle does expose the depth of the bench of these teams, so they will give up a game and focus on the league, after all, the league is the most important game of the season.

Immediately afterwards, AC Milan will face the old woman Juventus.

This is considered to be the second largest battle after the Milan derby, which is the first battle if you count the results, but because the Milan derby is more intense and has a long history, it is considered the first battle.

In this game, the coaches of the two sides need to fight wits and courage, because the strength of both sides is very strong, and if one is not careful, it will cause a big disaster.

Carlo Ancelotti fielded a standard 4-4-2 formation, with Zhang Qing continuing to be in the starting line-up and Rui Costa starting this time.

Carlo Ancelotti was confident in his diamond-shaped midfield formation and decided to take on the challenge of the old lady with this line-up.

After the start of the game, the two sides played very cautiously, and the two strikers of the other side are tall center types, one is the main striker of the French team, Trezeguet, this person's shooting skills are really good, and the header is also very powerful, it can be said that he is a great threat in the penalty area, and he has been in the old woman for a long time, and he has a tacit understanding with his teammates, and he is an old friend of the AC Milan players, with 8 goals in a single season.

And another newcomer Ibrahimovic, he became famous in the European Cup, a scorpion tail swing skills shocking, and was finally bought into the team by the old lady at a price of 20 million Champions League, currently scored 9 goals in a single season, and the efficiency is higher than Shevchenko, although he is a tall type, but some forwards, not a high school striker in the traditional sense, because his header is slightly worse than holding the ball at his feet.

With such a terrifying striker, the two men have scored a total of 17 goals, which is the same as all the players in AC Milan's striker, how can it not be scary.

Fortunately, there are two tall central defenders here, Nesta and Stam, who are very good at defending tall center forwards and have a lot of experience.

In the first 15 minutes of the first half, the two sides have been entangled in the midfield, and Juventus, the old lady led by Nedved, began to attack frantically in the midfield, and they constantly threatened the goal of the AC Milan team.

This game is indeed evenly matched, Ancelotti sighed, it's time to change tactics, after all, when you are deadlocked, it is the easiest to be confused, and it is also the easiest to score.

Nedved even took the ball himself and shot on his own, and from time to time he shot from distance.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Dida played bravely, resisted high, and tried to keep the goal from losing.

Zambrotta, on the wing, often assists up front, plays high balls, bombards directly into the box, and two tall centre-forwards head the ball.

For a while, AC Milan's penalty area was full of danger, and dangerous attacks were one after another.

On the other side, Zhang Qing and Shevchenko are also constantly threatening the opponent's goal, they continue to dribble, shuttle between the defenders and midfield defenders, and then Pirlo and Rui Costa make through passes, making many threatening attacks, but fortunately, Buffon pulled out the mountain and held the goal, saving a number of must-score goals. This ensured that the goal of the first half was not breached by the opponent.

Thinking of this, he commanded Rui Costa and a few others on the sidelines, and ordered them to change formations and try new tactics.
