40. In the wind and rain

Yan Yi called up the tactical board, and then drew a circle above the name of the striker Vieri, "The most important point in the tactics laid out by Inter Milan today is to make Vieri stand deliberately close to the small penalty area. โ€

"To restrain Lucio?"

"That's right! In fact, if you look at the video footage of AC Milan's games since the beginning of this season, you will find that Lucio's role is not limited to defense, he often mentions a position parallel to Pirlo to help Milan run the midfield, which invisibly increases the number of AC Milan midfielders, which is actually an invisible advantage. โ€

He deliberately added a mark to Vieri's position, "Vieri's profile picture is very good, there is no doubt that the corresponding AC Milan will let Lucio mark the ** strong center, so nailing Vieri in the penalty area, in fact, the deeper meaning is to nail Lucio in the penalty area to limit his ability to assist." โ€

'Of course, it wasn't enough for Vieri to move forward, Zaccheroni also put Cruz on the pitch and let the Argentine link up Inter's midfield, and then took advantage of the void in Milan's midfield link after Lucio was forced to retreat to arrange for Van der Meyde to be here.

On the tactical board, Vieri, Crews and Van der Meyde just form an irregular triangle, "Cruz and Van der Meyde are very flexible in their positions, but at the same time they are taking advantage of this area, which has the advantage of making Pirlo have to be distracted by defense, and it also indirectly affects AC Milan's offensive and defensive combing." Inter Milan also successfully exploited the activity in this area, scoring two goals under the cover of Vieri, and Zaccheroni's thinking and attacking focus in this game are all in the middle, which is very different from the tactics used in previous games, and it can be said that surprise is a key factor in his current situation! โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

The road from the entrance of the players' tunnel to the locker room was not long, but Jiang Qi walked very nervously.

The score is behind at halftime, the team's morale is low, and this regular surname will be encountered sooner or later, which the rookie coach understands very well, he has never eaten pork, and he has always seen pigs run......

But what to say about opening the locker room door at this moment?

It's like the halftime lecture in the FM game: Sacrifice the angry little universe and bombard this bunch of waste wood?

Joke! Let's not say that the tactical misconduct is the main reason for the current score lag, let's just say that with someone's qualifications and prestige, in the face of Milan's big names, he erected a flag marked with the word "bombardment", is it really a big man?

It's really an old man's hair dryer that anyone can use!

The revival of exchanging anger for morale is obviously not scientific enough, what else can be done?

Just when Jiang Qi was in a dilemma and put his hand on the door of the locker room but hesitated, he suddenly heard a muffled "boom" outside the passage, and even the door with the locker room seemed to tremble a few times.

"Hey! So you haven't gone in yet! โ€

Jiang Qi turned his head and found that Uncle Sullen had walked over.

"Uncle, what are you?"

"It's thundering, it's raining, maybe the rain won't be small, I'll remind them that these boys don't forget to change their boots."

When playing in the rain, players usually change into spike boots to prevent slipping, and Ciacchini came to remind him of this.

"Then, uncle, you say it first!"

Chascini gave him a strange look, "Don't worry, boy, you're doing a good job, don't worry too much about that bet." โ€

Obviously, he felt that Jiang Qi seemed to be reluctant to face such a situation now, but he didn't say anything, just pushed the door in and shouted two words before withdrawing.

It was Jiang Qi's turn to push open the door, and there was really silence on the other side of the door, tactical constraints, the players would not kick the ball smoothly, and the consumption of physical energy would also be invisibly aggravated under this suppressed psychological effect, so he heard a low wheezing sound.

'We played hard in the first half and the change of tactics made it very difficult for us, which is my problem, so I apologize to everyone. Jiang Qi said, "So, in the second half, we have to make the opponent play harder than we did in the first half, after all, the game is not over, and no one can predict the final result!" โ€

"We're going to win this game!" , The rookie coach slapped the tactical board categorically, "It's not because of the bet, it's not because the team standing opposite is called Inter Milan, which is our sworn enemy in the same city-"

"Just because we're going to prove that nothing can stop us from moving forward!"

He spoke firmly and crisply, and at last stirred up the dull ripples like a ripple in a pool of stagnant water.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Both players came out of the tunnel and AC Milan seemed to have used up three substitutions at the start of the second half! Oh! We saw that Jiang Qi was not wearing a suit shirt, but only a shirt standing on the sidelines, letting the rain fall, almost instantly pouring him through! โ€

According to his bet at the press conference, if he loses this game, he will resign as AC Milan manager and donate all of his salary to AC Milan's youth team. Therefore, Jiang Qi has no way out in this game, and now he should be really staging the San Siro version of the shipwreck! โ€

"Let's take a look at the tactical adjustments Jiang Qi made at halftime!"

"Ambrosini replaced Cafu, looking in front of Lucio and Nesta, playing the role of connecting the central midfield, and at the same time Lahm's position should be moved forward! With Ljungberg on the right, Gattuso may be freed up to become a full-time sweeping midfield barrier! Kaka replaces Rui Costa and Toni replaces Shevchenko...... In addition to Materazzi, Cannavaro and Cรณrdoba are at a disadvantage in height of Inter Milan's three central defenders, and the center-forward combination of Toney and Drogba is really a knife inserted in the opponent's soft underbelly! โ€

As Chascini expected, the rain shower came very suddenly, and the pitch seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke, but fortunately, the San Siro had perfect drainage and there was not too much water on the turf.

Toney was a beacon when he came on, with Lahm and Ljungberg starting to hit Inter's penalty area with frequent balls on both flanks, a simple and effective way of playing in the rain that matched the weather conditions.

On the contrary, because of Ambrosini's play, Lucio can focus all his attention on Vieri's defense, while Van der Meyde is pressed by Gattuso to survive, leaving Cruz a little alone, and Inter's focus on the attack in the first half is properly blocked.

Seeing this, Zaccheroni simply waved his hand to regain the team's formation, Zanetti even returned to the right wing-back position, Okan moved to the middle, Van der Medra went to the wing, and it became a relatively smooth 4-4-2. Zach's meaning is clear, with a two-goal lead and a sudden heavy rain, the recovery formation is enough to keep this result alive.
