293. Christmas tree
Remember in one second [for wonderful reading.]
Under the bright lights of Istanbul, Gerrard jumped in front of Stam and shook his head to head the ball into the back corner of the goal, while the Dutchman could only watch it happen.
Jiang Qi shook his head on the sidelines, his eyes fell on the other end of the middle line, in front of the ** line opposite, Stam did not wear the white jersey in the Infinity Theater, but a blue Chelsea jersey, so that the rookie coach returned to reality.
Just before preparing for the Champions League final in Istanbul, Lao Jiang entered the Infinity Theater and encountered the famous "Istanbul Night", and the system gave him the task of leading AC Milan to a tragic ending and a final victory as the head coach.
Originally, the rookie coach wanted to take Stam out of the starting lineup, but after evaluating the state of the other central defenders, Jiang Qi felt that believing in the Dutchman was the best choice at the moment, but it was like a spell shrouded in the Altatuk Stadium, and after Lao Jiang repeatedly reminded Stam to pay attention to the players inserted behind the Liverpool midfield, the fulcrum of the reversal of the game still came to his eyes.
Fortunately, he was prepared and signaled the Milan players not to kick off, but to propose to change the players on the field.
Then, one of the most surprising candidates in a group of warm-up substitute players was called to Jiang Qi's side, and he was the Frenchman Dorasu.
As a harvest in the first player market in the summer, the French midfielder seems to have become dispensable after moving to AC Milan, but the MVP of the French league is an out-and-out strength player, and when he plays well, Dorasu is even a ninety percent weakened version of Deco, who also has excellent passing skills, offensive and defensive balance, and can help the team change the pace, which is undoubtedly a necessity for a midfielder to become great.
It was also due to the preparation of this substitution and Jiang Qi's design that AC Milan once again made the interval between the games a little longer, which indirectly diluted the blood of Liverpool's counterattack.
And Dorasú replacing Seedorf on the field is also a kind of protection for Pirlo, because his position on the field is not the left side in front of Sleeping Skin, but behind Sleeping Skin, just like the back triangle that Jiang Qi discharged for Real Madrid, Dorasú is on the left, Gattuso is on the right, which instantly makes the barrier of Milan's midfield solid, and Pirlo is a little earlier, and when the state of Sleeping Skin's classmates is declining, it is Lao Jiang's rights and interests to use his pass to echo Kaka.
There is only one signal for the French to bring on the field, shrink the space!
With no space to move and a deliberate interruption of the rhythm by the rookie coach, Smitchell's long-range sneak attack after a minute was gone, and AC Milan were able to stabilize in the shortest possible time.
In fact, with a 3:1 advantage, as long as Benitez's gambling tactical changes are restrained, the situation will be re-dominated into his own hands, but Stam's state in the face of Liverpool's impact makes Lao Jiang very worried.
So, he decided to preemptively transform the midfield.
3 minutes later, Jiang Qi made a surprise substitution adjustment again, Serginho came on to replace Shevchenko, the old Brazilian winger did not play the left midfield, but completely changed the formation to 4-3-3, Crespo in the center, Serginho played on the left, and the right hand to Kaka, of course, the position of the Brazilian boy is more flexible.
Because compared to Crespo, Sheva's fulcrum role is not obvious, and the Argentine can hold the ball in the front, all aspects of the technique are more balanced, plus the brace in the first half, the deterrent effect of the Liverpool back line is also enough weight, Serginho and Kaka are more with speed to impact the Reds defense, so they have to divide their energy to deal with.
Efficient attacking style can make a difference, and this time the change to the attacking combination up front was quite successful, with Kaka avoiding Hamann in the middle and more flexible movement, and Serginho's sharp breakthrough forced Gerrard to refocus on the defensive side, and the game was not much in suspense at this point.
In the end, Crespo completed a hat-trick and the referee awarded a somewhat reluctant penalty before the break, and AC Milan had a thrilling 4-2 victory.
- Of course, this is just what happens in the virtual space of the small theater.
Now the team on the opposite side has changed from the Reds to the Blues, and the only familiar face is Xavi? Alonso.
"I didn't expect you to guess it." , who was expelled from Ciascini in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, returned to Milan's bench at the Estadio Altatuc.
The "guess" that the assistant coach uncle refers to is that Jiang Qi guessed Ancelotti's lineup in the Champions League final before the game.
Chelsea's most common formation this season has been a 4-3-3, and as at AC Milan, the tempo of Marcos Alonso has dragged behind, with Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele forming a barrier in front of Alonso, unlike at AC Milan, the Blues have no fixed midfielders and often play a trident.
Therefore, in the tactical preparation meeting of the Milan coaching staff, whether it is assistant coaches like Tasotti and Chascini who have worked with Ancelotti, or Maldini who used to be a fat adult, they all tend to believe that Chelsea will continue to use this most used formation in the final, but Jiang Qi does not think so.
The Blues' 4-3-3 is actually a formation designed by Carlo Ancelotti for the Premier League environment, with an inverted triangle midfield that can effectively limit the impact of opponents, and a front trident that is easy to tear apart the opponent's defence, but if the opponent is not a good English team, the suitability of this 4-3-3 formation needs to be considered.
Jiang Qi feels that with Ancelotti's usual steadiness and attainments in tactical design, in the face of such a decisive moment as the Champions League final, he may be inclined to the path of "controlling instead of defending".
The main purpose of "control instead of defense" is to fight for control of the ball, and to achieve the purpose of "control instead of defense", for An Fat, the most familiar formation is called - "Christmas tree"!
In fact, whether it was Old Trafford in 2003 or Athens in 2007, Ancelotti lined up the Christmas tree formation and won the championship on the way to control instead of defending......
Sure enough, Istanbul's Altaturk Stadium confirmed Jiang's suspicions, and the Blues Chelsea appeared in front of everyone's eyes as the Christmas tree that Jiang Qi is most familiar with, but in many of them, Ancelotti made surprising changes.
One is the double midfielder in the Christmas tree 4-3-2-1, and the other is the right wing-back of the Blues, a man whom Jiang Qi and the Milan coaching staff had not thought of at all. (To be continued.) )
