Unlike in the first half of the season, when Lazio and AC Milan first met, AC Milan has changed a lot.

Ronaldinho was completely deposed, and he was relegated from a regular to a substitute at AC Milan.

Pato has long been out of position due to successive injuries.

The Brazilian gang can really play at AC Milan is Thiago. Silva and Robinho, neither of whom is the absolute main force.

After ditching Ronaldinho, Allegri built his squad around Ibrahimovic.

The whole team served the Swedish Shrine.

Ibrahimovic has his coveted free fire rights on the pitch.

He can do whatever he wants, but no one else has the privilege of him.

In midfield, he dominated the muscular lineup. Except for one Pirlo, everyone else is "black and hard" who can run well.

The most prominent of these is Boateng, who has been on loan from Genoa this season.

The Ghana international was originally a purely defensive midfielder, but under Allegri's transformation, the black midfielder also has good attacking ability.

With Boateng, Allegri can abandon Ronaldinho once and for all.

He doesn't need Ronaldinho's style of football, AC Milan are tougher and tougher under his makeover, and of course they don't play as well as they used to.

But although AC Milan fans are giant fans, they are not glassy, and if they don't look good, they won't look good, as long as they can win.

Victory is better than anything else.

With Allegri's transformation, AC Milan's results began to climb and eventually became second in the league today.

His AC Milan defensively were very tough in midfield. A player like Boateng can not only plug in the attack, but also drop back to defend, and his defense is what he does best.

Allegri was going to use this against Lazio.

Hoarding heavy troops in the midfield and playing counter-attacks with Lazio.

It is mainly up to players like Boateng to interfere with Lazio's players with the ball in midfield.

Allegri can see it. Lazio's strength lies in their fitness and running.

Good fitness, a lot of running, that's why Lazio can gallop in European football.

To beat Lazio, you have to run more than they do. Physically better than them.

Perhaps AC Milan have not been able to do better than their fitness throughout the season. But in a game, there's still a chance.

Allegri began to rotate heavily in the month leading up to the game, in order to ensure that the team was fit for Lazio.

Now he's sure the team is ready.

In this match, AC Milan will have to wrestle with Lazio.

He wants his team to be the first team to beat Lazio this season.

This is a resounding slap in the face to those who think they lack experience and qualifications and have not been in charge of AC Milan for a long time!

What no one person in all of Europe has done, I did!

Who of you still dares to talk nonsense?

January 29. The first match of the 23rd round of the league was played at the San Siro Stadium.

The game started from the first minute. AC Milan showed their running.

They are tirelessly darling around every corner of the pitch. and Lazio than stamina.

After Chang Sheng saw AC Milan's tactical arrangement, he really felt crying and laughing.

It's only been two games, and he's seen two completely different ways to deal with him.

It seems that these opponents are trying to beat Lazio. It's really a matter of doing everything.

I've thought of everything.

Napoli, in order to deal with Lazio, came up with a solution that dragged the game into a penalty shootout.

And AC Milan in order to beat Lazio. Let's start with physical strength.

Honestly, both teams came up with the right approach.

Mazzari wanted to drag the game into a penalty shootout, which naturally combined the characteristics of a single elimination in the Coppa Italia.

In theory, he was right.

But he didn't take into account the actual situation, which was the fitness of Naples.

In the face of Lazio's constant attack, even if it is defensive, the physical consumption will be very fast. Will Napoli's players be able to hold out that long?

In the end, it turned out that they couldn't last that long.

Now Allegri's approach is right.

Some people say that Lazio can dominate European football because they play tiki-taka superbly, but what is the reason for playing superb?

It's physical.

Lazio's fitness is much better than other teams.

That's all that matters.

Whatever the tactic, it takes physical fitness to do it.

Fitness is the foundation of modern football.

It's like you have to dig a foundation before you build a house, and without it, you can't build a house, let alone build it high.

Physical fitness is the foundation of modern football, and you must have physical fitness before you can talk about other things.

If a team doesn't have the most basic physical fitness, it can't find a foothold in professional football.

If a team wants to have greater ambitions and win the championship, even if it is the league championship, it must have better physical fitness than the average team, otherwise you will start to play well in the league, and after the halfway point of the game, the physical fitness will not be able to keep up, and the results will naturally decline, so what else will you win the championship?

Whether it is Lazio or Barcelona, the teams that have dominated European football in the past two years have a significant outstanding characteristic, that is, physical fitness.

Barcelona is also very physical.

It was Lazio and Barcelona who increased the average distance of players per game, in the past, a player could run more than 10,000 meters in a game, which is considered very good, and now the players of Lazio and Barcelona, except for the goalkeeper, almost everyone has an average distance of more than 10,000 meters per game.

So these years. There is a famous saying in football: "Wins and championships come from running!" ”

The results of Lazio and Barcelona illustrate this well.

Led by them, more and more teams are starting to pay attention to fitness - in fact, it used to be important, but now it is more important.

In Germany, for example, Borussia Dortmund's manager Jurgen Klopp emphasises fitness and movement. The intensity of his training is also top in the Bundesliga.

The return is that Dortmund is currently ranked first in the Bundesliga after 19 rounds of the league, with 15 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 47 points. Eleven points more than Bayer Leverkusen in second place!

To be honest, AC Milan's approach of fighting with Lazio was correct, relying on the ability to run more and more willing to run than Lazio, they still had a faint advantage in the first half.

And relying on this advantage, he took a one-goal lead in the first half.

It's not easy for AC Milan.

How long has it been since they have led Lazio in a competition?

"Pirlo! A nice free kick! Inzaghi jumped up in front of him for the top and although he didn't get to the top of the ball, he shook Lazio goalkeeper Handanovic. This led to a problem with Handanovic's judgment. Helpless for this ball flying into the goal! ”

In the shouts of the narrator. Inzaghi was running to celebrate the goal, and just looking at his celebration, it would be as if it was he who scored the goal. But it's actually Pirlo.

Pirlo didn't run wild. Instead, he stood there and raised his hands. He made a celebratory gesture, and his teammates swarmed up and surrounded him.

On the sidelines, in front of the AC Milan coach's box, Allegri and his coaches also rushed out of their seats, raised their arms and shouted, hugging people when they saw them.

However, while Allegri and the rest of his life were celebrating in ecstasy over AC Milan's goal, Lazio's side was sitting in his place without even moving his butt.

The expression on his face also looked calm.

He doesn't seem to be worried about his team.

He really didn't have anything to worry about.

There was still one half to play, which was enough for him to pull back.

The way to deal with AC Milan, he has already made a plan.

Before the game, he didn't expect Allegri to use such an approach, so he didn't make a targeted arrangement, which led to AC Milan taking advantage.

But there was one more half-time break where he could turn the tide of things.

Chang Sheng looks confident.

Because there's really nothing hard to deal with.

Against Allegri's AC Milan and Mazzari's Napoli, the approach is actually the same.

That's fitness.

Work on physical fitness.

Allegri used his stamina against Lazio, and Chang Sheng also used his stamina against him.

The reason why Mazzari's tactics were not carried out was that his players were too physically exhausted, could not keep up with the pace of the game, and eventually collapsed.

And what about Allegri's AC Milan?

The same is true.

They ran wildly in the first half, more like mad dogs than Lazio.

Doing so gives them an advantage.

But at the same time, it also cost them a lot of energy, that is, they have a lot of physical exertion.

In fact, AC Milan should be tired by now, but Pirlo's goal made them forget about fitness for a while.

However, once their offense is no longer smooth and they don't have the advantage on the field, they will find themselves running out of fitness.

At that time, what awaits them is collapse!

Chang Sheng turned his head to look at Allegri, who was still celebrating his goal.

The head coach is planning to trade tomorrow for today...... Gain the physical strength of the first half in exchange for the advantage of the first half.

If that's the case, what does he have to celebrate now?

It's been 34 minutes, and it's only been 10 minutes before the end of the first half.

And his team was only one goal ahead.

Betting on the performance of the first half with the physical strength of the second half should be to let the team score more goals in the first half.

What's the point of just leading by one goal?

A one-goal lead is the most vulnerable, and as a manager, would he not be aware of that fact?

Not at least two goals ahead...... You're embarrassed to say you're using this tactic.

What do you do if you're only one goal ahead and in the second half when the team is physically exhausted? Watching Lazio chase the score back until they finally overtake it?

So what are you busy with all day?
