65. Build superheroes
Because Shevchenko had an ankle discomfort, Jiang Qi did not bring the Ukrainians to Siena just to be on the safe side.
When finalizing the starting lineup, he thought about it for a long time and decided to send Tony as a lone arrow to set up a fortress in the front court, with Kaka and Ljungberg behind him, two super attacking players, hoping to use this Christmas tree configuration to tear apart the opponent's defense around Tony as a fulcrum.
But it backfired, as soon as Toni was not in the state of the game, his pace seemed to be sluggish, and the role of the simple pillar center forward as the fulcrum of the front court was also limited by Siena's backline, and the reaction was that AC Milan's entire offensive rhythm was not smooth.
"Players who have become rigid due to fatigue are not really suited to this traditional style of play." This is the rookie coach's reflection on his own game layout in the last minutes of the first half.
Therefore, he simply replaced Toney with Inzaghi, and then proposed a tactical plan of passing the ball directly to the holes in the opponent's defense, because he firmly believes that with Inzaghi's ability to run without the ball at full value, as long as he can create chances, he has a good chance of seizing it, and this is the terrible thing about Super Pippo, this is a real killer.
What's more, Jiang Qi has already added a limited-time highlight card for him on the T40!
That's right, it's the same item card that Rivaldo used when he turned into a superhero to defeat the tinker's Blues!
However, don't think that just using this kind of card on a player will make him instantly transform into a Super Saiyan, the purpose of the limited-time highlight card is only to increase the excitement of the player, and maximize the player's ability to seize opportunities on the field.
As for how much of an increase can be effected, it really varies from person to person......
When the pre-season warm-up match was used on Rivaldo, the Brazilians were at the juncture of a failed season and a new season, and although the Brazilians were introverted, they had a very strong personality and were holding back a fire in their hearts!
As a result, a limited-time highlight card completely ignited him, and Jiang Qi's attacking system with Rivaldo as the core was an excellent booster, which finally miraculously replicated the result of the Brazilian's miracle performance at Camp Nou.
Before that, the rookie head didn't expect the use of prop cards to be so effective.
So, this time he is also betting, anyway, now that he is already three goals behind at half-time, what else is there to worry about?
Don't have faith in Inzaghi?
Thinking of the figure running all over the field in his memory, Jiang Qi clenched his fists and smashed the last trace of doubt into pieces!
"Since Yan Yi changed careers, we have become a lonely one again when commentating, and the first half of this game is really dull, which is even more impressive...... This life! The king opened his mouth at the same time with the whistle of the second half, "What? You ask, it's dull to score three goals in the first half? That's right! It's still dull, a long-range shot, and the goal conceded after two unforced errors, basically speaking, there is no technical content, and there is no shadow of a tactical routine in it. ”
"AC Milan made a change at half-time, well, Inzaghi came on instead of Toney, and it was the first change Jiang Qi made in this game."
"In fact, there are not a lot of Milan players running today, but it seems that there is always a membrane between them, there are too many mistakes in passing and receiving the ball in the midfield, and the timing of passing and running is always missing half a beat, Toni does not play the role of fulcrum support on the field, and there are few forward passes, I hope they can improve in the second half...... Hmm, Kaka straight stopper! ”
He abruptly cut off his impression of the first half, and his voice gradually rose, "Siena's left rib is empty, Inzaghi!" The ball is in! ”
Jiu Ye didn't celebrate, but quickly hugged the ball to the middle circle! The Siena players raised their hands to indicate that the goal was offside, but the linesman insisted that the flag was not raised, and the referee also decided that the goal was valid, let's see the slow motion! He paused, "At the moment of Kaka's pass, Inzaghi was very hidden on the side of Siena's two central defenders, there was indeed no offside, and it seemed that he was a little behind, but his running route was oblique, and it would be exposed by Siena's back line in the next second......"
"In this goal, Inzaghi's running must account for at least 70% of the success factor, Kaka's pass looks more like a habitual stuff into the gap, and Pippo's appearance is something that no one expected, except himself!"
"And he has read the position of the opponent's backline too thoroughly, whether it is the timing of the run or the line of the run, it is accurate to the extreme, no wonder the lord would say that Inzaghi is a man born on the offside line!"
The rookie coach stood on the sidelines with his hands on his shoulders and did not express any excitement, but his heart was like a volcano ready to move, and he clearly felt the changes in the players on the field, not only in morale, but also in their conscious efforts to get rid of the shackles imposed on themselves!
This is the chemistry of a team that matures and moves towards the throne, and only a team that knows how to use rational judgment and make self-adjustment in the face of adversity can lay the foundation of a dynasty!
Jiang Qi firmly believes that if the team can complete self-redemption in this situation, then it will usher in a temperamental transformation!
Siena's manager was Papadopoulo, and conceding a goal early on the clock had already given the veteran a smell of danger.
As head coach, Papadopoulo was well aware that the three first-half goals weren't something to be happy about, even though he threw punches with the same excitement when it did.
The temporary result of the victory, which was not laid down by a dominant position, and the temporary lead of the team because the team was triggered by a brief period of collective excitement, were both happy and worried for the manager. Because this is not the result of comparing the real strength of the scene, but the result of intermittent outbreaks.
Just like the game in front of him, Chiesa's goal is a reflection of the normal situation, the two sides are stalemate, there is an opportunity by chance, and it is common sense to grasp it decisively, but the two goals that seem to be "picked up" because of the opponent's mistakes before half-time are not normal, especially if the opponent is still a team far beyond their own strength.
"Adjustments must be made quickly, and then what means can be used to interrupt the signs of the opponent's attack?" Papadopoulo thought, then called the captain Chiesa to whisper a few words, and then the scene changed.
Not only did Siena's players deliberately reclaim and keep the distance between the three lines tighter, but they also strangled AC Milan's midfielders, interrupting AC Milan's coordination with almost non-stop fouls.
On the other side, Jiang Qi frowned and looked at the scene of people on the field constantly turning over on their backs, "At this time, it depends on whether the players can find out some loopholes in the details of the opponent to reverse the unfavorable situation, otherwise this momentum that has just raised its head will be entangled, and it will be difficult to say the process of the game later......"
