231. Drawdown vs. Forward

They are not well-known, but they are all practical players, and more importantly, they have added a lot of changes to Inter Milan's squad. That's right, that's what David Pizarro and Grosso's two new signings have changed for Zaccheroni.

Grosso can play all the positions in the left central midfield, from left wing-back, left central defender to left midfielder, and can even play in the midfield position, somewhat like Zanetti on the right. Pizarro is to fill the gap in the midfield barrier, for Inter Milan, the original midfield is dominated by the wing, but the defense in the middle is too thin, originally this situation had to wait until Cambiaso transferred from Real Madrid, plus the "phonegate" after the Juventus supermarket clearance, Vieira's joining to solve this drawback.

With Pizarro's interception in midfield, Veron's combing will be guaranteed, and in Zaccheroni's preferred 3-4-3 formation, there is no longer a single central striker sandwiched between the wings of Kiri Gonzalez and Van der Meyde, the Dutchman's form is up and down, and the Argentine is getting older. Therefore, Zaccheroni has arranged more Recoba and Martins on the field this season, the Uruguayan's spirituality and delicacy are first-class, but the physical confrontation is second-rate, but under the guidance of Zaccheroni, Recoba's off-ball running allows him to gain more space, as for Martins, he is completely a counterattack arrow and a dashing opponent's defense.

The bigger change for Inter this season is also the real versatility of the midfield.

The 3-4-3, Zaccheroni's signature formation, can now be easily switched between modes, such as Recoba dropping back to become a free man, Adriano and Cruz or Martins or even Popovieri, who is a bit out of form, partnering with a two-striker to make the midfield more solid 3-5-2. When it comes to toughness and attack, Zaccheroni can also push Stankovic up front, bringing on wide players like Kiri Gonzalez, Donny van der Meyde, Grosso and Zanetti. When encountering a strong opponent, the two full-backs can be recycled into full-backs, and the counter-attack can be 5-3-2 or 5-4-1, with Pizarro in midfield, Veron is freed, which makes Inter Milan more comfortable to switch modes......

The most important thing is that the Nerazzurri with multiple changes and bench depth have also made steady progress in results, the defensive end is no longer up and down, and the offensive end is no longer relying on Adriano to carry the team forward, this team that has always given a loose impression because of the turnover of personnel has now been gradually kneaded into a whole by Zack!

The current Inter Milan still lacks a favorable attacker, otherwise it will be complete enough to truly impact the pattern of Juventus and AC Milan in Serie A.

So, this city derby is actually very difficult to play......

Moreover, Zaccheroni was extremely cautious when facing Jiang Qi.

Materazzi, Cannavaro and Zanetti form the structure of the three central defenders in the back line, on the left and right wings is Grosso, who was born as a defender, and on the other hand, Stankovic, who has excellent running ability, both of them also have a long-range shot that can threaten the opponent's goal, with Pizarro and Veron in the middle, Adriano in the middle, Recoba on the left, Martins on the right, but Xiao Lei, who has a Chinese Zhengtai face, is more free, and Xiao Ma, who is good at somersaults, stands at the front of the team. A state of acceleration at any time.

Paired with San Toldo, the Inter Milan squad can score at least 90 points defensively, and the signal is self-evident that Zaccheroni can accept a draw.

Fortunately, Lao Jiang, who studied Inter Milan's routine this season with the coaching staff, has been prepared.

The goalkeeper is still Czech international Petr Cech.

The pairing of Nesta and Lucio was designed to keep Adriano at bay, while the wings were a battle of young men, with Lahm and Ramos ready to take on Martins and Recoba.

In the center of the midfield, Andrea Pirlo remains, flanked by Ambrosini and Ljungberg, and up front Van Persie.

As for the forward line, it is a bit incomprehensible, with Villa and veteran Inzaghi, the most high-profile goalscorers in Serie A recently.

There is no Toney, there is no monster Drogba, in the face of a defensive stalwart like Materazzi, Jiang Qi did not choose a strong center, many people still remember the impact of the strong center forward on Inter Milan in the city derby last season, which made everyone a little incomprehensible.

After four encounters, Zaccheroni was able to sit calmly on the bench and quietly observe the game on the field, and the two teams were entangled in the midfield at the beginning of the game, which made Zach unable to figure out Jiang Qi's tactical arrangement for a while.

"Are you sure this trick works?"

"Not sure."

It is also a common practice for Chasconi and Jiang Qi to ask and answer on the sidelines.

"Inter has a lot of dense defenders in the middle, and they have layers of umbrella ......"

"So, I think the role of a strong center under this defensive system is weakened, and what is more needed is the space to run without the ball."

"Do you think Pippo is up front to achieve your tactical intentions?"

The rookie head nodded, "Pippo's lateral pulling ability is believed to be the strongest in the entire Apennines, and then the midfielder will step forward to create depth ......"

"What about the instigators?"

Jiang Qi nodded at Villa on the field, "Isn't David on the field?" ”

There are many kinds of attacking instigators, and there are many attacking instigators in the Milan team, such as Rui Costa is a classical midfielder, the most traditional passer, like Kaka is a playmaker who can create space and opportunities in depth attack, and Van der Vaart is a playmaker who is biased towards possession...... And so on. In addition to the role of a shooter, Villa is also a very good instigator, if you look at it from the perspective of attracting defenders, David may be more effective, because his large range makes the defenders dare not easily stay away from him, and will even desperately block his kicks.

"And we don't have a strong center on the field!" , Lao Jiang finally added.

After nearly ten minutes of probing each other, Villa began to drop back to get the ball as tactically arranged, and the Spaniard's own skill is a guarantee that he will be the mastermind of the attack, as well as Van Persie and Ljungberg are possible finishers after running without the ball.

Villa's retreat attracted Zanetti, and then Inzaghi suddenly widened the gap, Van Persie had accelerated into the penalty area, and Villa's pass was also stuffed along the Dutchman's figure, but fortunately, Cannavaro was experienced and took the lead to fill the position and block the angle of Van Persie's shot!

Suddenly clinging to Cannavaro, Van Persie felt like he was stuck to a plaster, and he didn't even have a chance to turn around and face the goal, so he had to send the ball in, Villa had already received it, and then moved laterally to the right, Ramos had already assisted, and the ball was lifted from a 45-degree angle......

A figure in the penalty area stepped in from behind and jumped high to shake his head to attack the goal, and Toldo was also busy jumping up and holding the ball out with one palm!

Zaccheroni's face was solemn when he saw this, and he could clearly identify the identity of this silhouette from his vision, AC Milan's captain Ambrosini!
