Just how important it is to run off the ball, just look at Lippi who is frowning on the sidelines right now.

In the past, the team's off-the-ball movement was often designed around a core player or a certain point, but now the AC Milan players on the field are different, they play very casually, and every player in the midfield can switch between the two roles of passer and attacking finisher, and the position is not limited, the striker will pull out of the box or even the midfield to make the ball, and the midfielder will simply rush into the box to become the finisher who finishes the goal.

Even Andrea Pirlo had a header into the box after a run......

It is this chaotic shot that makes Lippi feel a little bit of a tooth now, and the usual defensive focus is now not very effective in the face of AC Milan's attack, and the opponent's focus is on the movement of the ball and the pull of running without the ball, regardless of position and responsibility, almost wherever there is an opportunity, it will be passed.

In the long run, the psychological pressure of the players as the defensive side will gradually increase, and the physical fitness will accelerate the loss under the hint of psychological pressure, and the situation will be even more unfavorable!

The only thing that comforted Lippi was that Gianluigi Buffon was in excellent form today, a factor that could be the key to turning the tide of the game, but only if he copes.

In a way, today's match between Juventus and AC Milan is not the first meeting between Lippi and Jiang Qi.

Before the fifth round of the Milan derby, Rapo Elkin had approached Lippi to ask how to deal with AC Milan's current lineup and tactical play, and Mr. Silver Fox almost without thinking proposed to use a high striker to contain Lucio at the back, compress the defense to isolate Pirlo, and then use the midfield sapper to strangle the hub of Milan's offensive and defensive transition.

Later, Rapo consulted Lippi and couriered the recording of the conversation between the two to Zaccheroni, the miniature tape he had received.

The first half of the derby seemed to confirm the effectiveness of Lippi's tactical set-up, with Zach making it 3-5-2 to make AC Milan constrained almost everywhere, falling behind by two goals at half-time.

But in the second half, Jiang Qi also changed his tactical play, and instead relied on three long-range shots to reverse the game.

Lippi, who had been watching the game live, felt that the main reason for AC Milan's comeback derby was to take advantage of the change in the weather to make changes first, and a little luck to achieve it. It's like Lahm's shot that was accidentally knocked into his own goal by Materazzi, and then the long-range shot that is like Gattuso's miracle...... In Lippi's view, it is impossible to do without a little luck.

But now it seems that there is a more important factor at play in that Chinese boy's reversal of Zaccheroni, which is his keen insight into the game!

"This kid is not simple, you can't look at him with the eyes of a rookie!" , Lord Silver Fox's mind increased a little more.

The sudden heavy rain in the fifteen minutes of halftime in the same city derby made many people subconsciously ignore Jiang Qi's substitution at halftime-

In particular, the replacement of Tony as a high-school striker was not simply changed to a rushing style of play in order to adapt to the rain battle.

Every team has its weaknesses and shortcomings, when AC Milan was limited by Inter Milan in the first half by grasping the weaknesses in the formation, Jiang Qi chose to use the opponent's defects to suppress the opponent with attack, use his own advantages to defeat the opponent's disadvantages, and re-establish control of the situation, which is also his understanding of Ancelotti's control.

And Tony is a weight that Jiang Qi put on the balance in order to increase his advantage!

When Toney and Didier Drogba both appear in the front line, the weakness of Inter Milan's defense without tall and strong defenders will be infinitely magnified.

Materazzi can only mark one of the two, and with both Cannavaro and Córdoba clearly inferior in terms of physical fitness, the high-pitched bridgehead tactics can naturally suppress Inter's advantage in control of the situation with attack.

When two teams meet on the field, the key to victory or defeat is which side is more effective against the opponent's restraint, and Jiang Qi sees this clearly and adjusts the lineup to counter the opponent.

It's the same thing for today's game.

The biggest advantage of AC Milan compared with Juventus is undoubtedly that it is young, so Jiang Qi simply discharged a faster, more comprehensive all-attacking lineup, and the players in the midfield are all candidates with excellent passing and control belts at the same time, so that they can give more play to Milan's advantages of being better at running and more dynamic.

"It seems that the situation is getting a little out of hand......," said Lippi's assistant, Pincorini, as he walked up to Lord Silver Fox.

Lippi nodded, "Originally, Lapo and I talked about the bet, I think it will probably make Milan's rookie coach fall into a more conservative and cautious response, after all, if the game ends in a draw, neither side has to fulfill the bet, and both sides can accept the situation of taking one point each, which is the most suitable choice for a young coach like him who lacks convincing and prestige." ”

"I didn't expect this rookie to go crazy and put out a set of lineups that focus on attack, and he didn't hesitate to run at all physical strength, and he acted more like he was playing in the Champions League final." Pincorini sighed, "Today's young people really can't be underestimated, and it takes a lot of courage to support it in such a desperate fight." ”

"Well......", Lippi also looked helpless, then walked to the sideline of the field and shouted a few words loudly, and then gestured three or four times to the players who turned his gaze, "Contraction!" Hit David that point! ”

"Shrinking" means sticking to the penalty area, simply letting go of all kinds of marking, converting to zone defense, not being disrupted by the opponent's off-ball running, as for long-range shots, if Buffon can be scored in today's form, there Pi himself will admit it.

Of course, only solid defense cannot reverse the situation, and there is only one way to change from passive to active on the court - attack!

After shrinking the defensive line, Juventus's attack was simply concise to use Trezeguet as a fulcrum to prop up the attacking system in the frontcourt, with Di Vayo, Nedved, and Camoranesi by his side...... None of these players have a strong individual combat ability, which is enough to stir up the storm in the opponent's backcourt.

When the situation is eliminated, the situation will gradually return to a state of equilibrium, and the only key to breaking this equilibrium is who scores a goal first!
