152. Success is piled up in the details
Abramovich's visit can only be regarded as a small episode of Jiang Qi's preparation for the Champions League final, but it is more surprising that the photo of the two saying goodbye in the café was secretly photographed and circulated by a reporter from an unknown newspaper. For a while, the news of "Milan's young coach is ready to stay at Stamford Bridge" was very loud, but unfortunately the whole Milan team understood that this was a boring rumor, and they were sure that there would be no second football club on the planet other than AC Milan that could give Jiang Qi so many rights, and the reticent attitude maintained by the Chelsea side made this rumor on the top of the "rumor board", and instead became the best smoke bomb for AC Milan to prepare for the Champions League final.
"Tsk, this Abramovich is such an interesting person." "He didn't give any interviews, but he expressed his expectations for you from the Chelsea captain, and he was really thorough, and he also helped you add fuel to the fire and let the smoke go a lot." ”
Jiang Qi was noncommittal, "I think he is more interested in the face of our boss, and I probably don't have that much influence." ”
Uncle Stuffy shook his finger, "Don't look down on yourself, if you want to change places, I think many owners of wealthy clubs are willing to sit with you." You have to know that maybe you are not the top coach when you are the manager, but the players you pick are doubling in value after a season, the advertising you planned has increased the attention of the club every day after it was broadcast in China, and the strategy of cooperating with sports equipment manufacturers has grasped the context of the market there, and the results received are eye-catching......"
"Well, let's talk about what kind of defensive system Mourinho will build." , The rookie coach reluctantly diverted the topic, "Although the Serie A league has a nostalgic complex in the hearts of Chinese fans, its influence is much worse than that of the Champions League, if you get the Big Ear Cup, uncle, I promise to sell you all over the world, hey!" ”
This year's Champions League final has attracted much more attention than Jiang Qi's impression...... At the beginning, the final between Porto and Monaco was really just a dark horse dispute, in Lao Jiang's impression, the proportion of onlookers in the left and right dormitories watching this final was too small, I am afraid that the mood of UEFA at that time was like David Stern found that the two teams that met in the NBA Finals in a certain year, one is called Spurs and the other is called Pistons...... The big teams are the focus of fans' attention, just like in the NBA, everyone prefers to watch the Lakers and Kings compete offensively, although the key to determining the championship is defense.
"Forget it, I still need to be in the limelight at such a young age, and I won't be an assistant coach if I want to be in the limelight!" The uncle waved his hand, "What do you think the head coach of Porto is doing now?" ”
Jiang Qi showed a slightly sly smile, "Mr. Mourinho must be guessing my lineup for the Champions League final now, hahaha!" ”
'The players who have made the most appearances at full-back for AC Milan this season are Cafu, Lahm and Maldini, Simic is a substitute in the rotation, Kaladze has been up and down and has not gained Chiang's trust, so we need to pick out the most likely starter for Schalke Night among those three.' The speaker was Villas-Boas, who was part of Mourinho's team and was more responsible for collecting and analysing opponents.
In addition to Mourinho and Boas, Silvino and experienced Joao Carlos are Uncle Bird's right-hand men, in addition to Colavello, Pereira and other members of the Porto coaching staff, these people discuss the topic is very simple, find out the lineup that Jiang Qi is most likely to discharge, and then design a variety of tactical arrangements for surnames according to the lineup, of course, the tactics for surnames will be arranged in different combinations according to different candidates.
Joao Carlos knuckled his fingers on the table, "Our midfield is in a diamond position, the opponent is likely to send the player with the strongest assist ability to play as a full-back, I am optimistic about Lahm and Cafu, Maldini has recently transformed into a central defender, his age and fitness are not superior to Rambi." ”
Silvino put forward another opinion, "In the two-legged match between AC Milan and Arsenal, the left full-back is Maldini, his experience in the tournament will be of great help to the team at critical moments, and Maldini's defense is still top-notch, this season Jiang consciously controlled his playing time, which is likely to pave the way for the final stage of the Champions League." ”
The speeches of these two people actually represent Jiang Qi's attitude towards the Champions League final, the main attack is still seeking stability, everyone's eyes are focused on Mourinho, and the Portuguese is silent.
The silence in the conference room stayed for about a full minute before Mourinho broke it, "You will find that Jiang will be adjusted in AC Milan this season, the finalization of the full-back selection also means the determination of his tactical focus in a certain game, after Lahm gradually matures in the second half of the season, Jiang will leave more and more wings to the Germans, and Van der Vaart's characteristic is that he can play different styles in the same position, he can break through like a real winger and pull the defensive system, Crossing or cutting inside or seeking to link-up, you can also open up the range of movement and become the playmaking core of the attack, allowing Lahm to ......dominate the left flank.
He stood up and walked over to the tactics board next to Boas and wrote the names of Lahm and Van der Vaart on it, "He uses a different approach than we do, where we build a system and give players positions and roles, whereas he likes to put two or three players together and then make all kinds of combinations of different plug-ins. I have to say that this is an admirable idea, and he has done it successfully, and the biggest headache for the whole of Europe when facing Chiang is to guess his tactical combination, because there are too many changes, and they are too varied......"
Uncle Bird's final concluding remarks were the usual gesture of holding hands and shoulders, "In my opinion, the success of AC Milan is a success piled up with countless details, so if we want to beat them, we must do our homework on the details, and it is no longer enough to build a system to block them, it is more important to understand more details of them and destroy the balance in this detail...... As I said, Jiang likes to embed the system by splicing players together into combinations, so we have to think of ways to break down this local connection. ”
"Our biggest advantage is that we have a stable squad, and this long-term chemistry and chemistry is definitely better than the Milanese's seemingly freer combination, because this is a contradictory pair, irreconcilable!"
