133. Patience commensurate with it

Jiang Qi said that Udinese has been "unprovoked" recently, but there is a basis.

Spalletti's side have won five of their last six league games, with their only defeat coming at Alpi after a hard-fought 90-minute battle against Juventus before falling to a controversial penalty before the break.

Among the five victories achieved, there are not only Mancho's Lazio, who are in the middle of the ranking with Udinese, but also Lecce's attacking firepower, and Brescia, who have greatly improved this season because of Baggio's excellent performances...... But in the end, none of these teams stopped the "black chicken" in hot form.

In the League Cup, Udinese went all the way to the round of 16, but the luck of the draw was really not good, and they met the re-emerging Barcelona, even so the team that defeated Rijkaard 2:1 at home is enough to make Udinese proud, you must know that now the skeleton of this Barcelona team to dominate La Liga in the next few years has been built, the arrival of Ronaldo has made the Catalans see the hope of revival, and after this season, with the addition of Deco and Gyuli, another dream team is about to set sail.

With Roma's game starting a day early, the news of Roma's four-goal win over Empoli the day before had narrowed the gap between the two teams in the standings by just one point when the AC Milan players stepped onto the Friuli Stadium. Before the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the subtle changes in the hearts of the players of the two teams will undoubtedly be infinitely magnified.

If AC Milan don't get the three points they desperately need in Friuli, whether it's a draw or a loss, the slight difference of less than a game between the two teams by one or two points will inevitably make the red light in the pupils of Roma's wolves even more blazing!

When the deer dies, it will really be unclear who will do it......

What's more, before the battle against Roma at home, AC Milan has to go to London to play across the sea, so although it is an away game, the Roma team is actually more in line with the essence of "waiting for work with leisure" in the art of war.

Therefore, Jiang Qi set the goals that must be achieved for these two games in the coaching staff meeting: against Udinese, all three points must be taken, and Arsenal must remain unbeaten away!

At this stage, whether the game is on a front or not, they are all linked to each other, just like dominoes, as long as there is a game to lose, it is likely that what awaits you next is a series of disappointments, which is the most terrible danger faced by the multi-front team at the end of the season, and it is really a trigger to move the whole body!

However, the development of things is not based on people's subjective will, AC Milan and Udinese fought fiercely for nearly half a time, but still could not break through the opponent's defense, and the score was still fixed at 0:0......

Jiang Qi is still patiently nesting in the coach's seat, at least he can't show any anxiety or impatience at this time, although he does have such distracting thoughts in his heart, but in the focus of attention of the players on the field, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lao Jiang needs to restrain himself and influence the players on the field with a stable posture and calm expression.

"Udinese's defence is actually more difficult to play against than Juventus's." Tasottti, who was sitting next to Jiang Qi, suddenly spoke, "Juventus' defense actually has obvious weaknesses, while Udinese does not. ”

On the question of how to break through the Udinese defense, in fact, there was a discussion among Milan's coaching staff before the game, Spalletti used a three-back system, and the middle was the Argentine Sencini, the 37-year-old veteran did not show his old age on the field, and the position was slightly behind in the three, focusing on supplementing defense and filling. On the left is Denmark's fringe international Kroldrup, and on the right is Italy's Betoto, both defenders are known for their steadiness, reasonable positioning, timely positioning, and non-frizzy handling of the ball, both of which are rare practical central defenders, and more importantly, these two people are very adaptable to the defensive system of Serie A.

There are a lot of defensive players in Serie A, they are not well-known and not very valuable, but in the Italian defensive system, they can always play a super role that does not match their own value, and Kroldrup and Betoto are obvious representatives.

Therefore, in the face of such a group of three central defenders who mainly stick to the penalty area, Jiang Qi finally chose to "attack"!

Take advantage of Tony's height and good physical condition to erect a beacon in the penalty area and organize the attack around this "point".

Of course, this is based on the analysis of Udinese's previous game footage, and there are still some discrepancies with what was actually encountered on the field, because today's Udinese defense is clearly at the apex.

Tasotti continued: "Juventus' back four, with both sides taking on part of the attacking responsibility, is bound to be empty, and Lerotari's inconsistent form this season has made him the most obvious shortcoming, so as long as you design for this, it is not very difficult to break through the Juventus defence. ”

"Udinese is different, Spalletti's 3-4-3 is based on the fact that both of his wings have players with strong ability up and down, Jankulovski on the left and Castroman on the right can both attack and defend, and Udinese is not Juventus, and it doesn't necessarily take much effort to win in the face of strong opponents, just like now the appropriate defensive position, the three-back system will actually become a back five, but the players on both sides are more forward."

Caxcini also interjected, "Besides, Udinese's attacking combination in the front court is very complete, with Iaquinta as the axis, and Jorgensen's erratic running position, and the receiving point with outstanding individual counter-attacking ability to take the ball, and the South African Normvet is not useless, his running has pinned down our defense, and the African players have always been in an uncertain state of nerves, and they can't ignore the cold long-range shots." ”

"The opposition can keep a certain amount of pressure on us in attack, so it is natural to take some of our pressure off defensively." , Uncle Mauro finally summed up.

In fact, these two people reminded Jiang Qi on the side that they can't be in a hurry to deal with a team like Udinese, which also makes Lao Jiang a little reminisce, the reason why he is a little anxious in his heart is nothing more than to look down on Udinese as an opponent and not give enough patience.

This is also the characteristic of Serie A, under the big door of the top three in the north, there are still many middle classes, and these teams also need your attention and patience. When Serie A was at its peak, Napoli, Sampdoria, Parma, Lazio, Fiorentina ...... These teams also have the ability to compete for the league crown, and although time has changed, and many of them have sunk or even been relegated due to financial problems, there will always be a new backbone rising every season, but unlike the star-studded scene in the 90s, most of the current middle class teams are mainly based on integrating a large number of practical players to create a unique style of system, rather than relying on burning money to support them - Udinese is a typical example......
