Chapter 233: Belukosny's Frustration

Berlusconi was very frustrated in the VIP box, and the Italian prime minister has always shown extraordinary grace in social situations, but when it comes to football, he has never hidden his thoughts.

If before the game he had enough expectations that Carlo Ancelotti's side would be able to recreate Milan's glory and beat Chelsea, now he is disappointed, utterly disappointed!

Although the 3:1 score is not a big difference, and Berukosny has not yet reached the point of despair, but at the very least, he feels that the reversal is so far away.

He put down all official duties today and took a special plane to Istanbul just to be able to witness this game and feel the joy of winning the Champions League again, but what he didn't expect was that AC Milan failed to achieve what he wanted.

What it means to be two goals behind in the first half for such a crucial final is something that even Berlusconi, a pseudo-expert, knows very well.

He even suspected that with Chelsea's possession and defense, even if Milan let go of the attack in the second half, they might not be able to reverse the score. The reason is simple, Chelsea's pressing style of play in the first half has caused a lot of physical consumption on the aging Milan players.

In particular, the yellow cards of key players such as Pirlo, Gattuso, Cafu and Crespo are destined to affect their performance in the second half of the game.

A series of onslaughts from Milan in the opening stages made Belukosny excited for a while, but who would have thought that Zuihou would be such a result.

Looking at the graceful wave of Chelsea club owner Abu on the other side, he felt it was humiliating. Utter humiliation!

I'm the Prime Minister of Italy, he's just an explosive, he's not comparable to me at all!

But now?

He can wave like a hero to the fans. And I can only sulk like a deflated three, which is unbearable!

Just when the club's vice-president Galliani thought Berlukosny would go berserk, the Italian prime minister suddenly held back

Come, turn your head, and ask in an unusually formal tone: "Galliani, what do you think...... Is it possible for him to become the Lord of San Siro? ”

"What...... What the? ”

Galliani was taken aback!

He understands that Prime Minister Pei is referring to "him". It's the real Chelsea manager Joe Wanxian!

Galliani was dumbfounded, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer, in his opinion. It's completely impossible.

Joe Cannon is going well at Chelsea, the atmosphere in the team is harmonious, and he has an annual salary of more than 10 million pounds, so what reason does he have to switch to AC Milan?

Not to mention before this final begins. He worked with the management of AC Milan. Even the invincible Italian prime minister has had countless war of words, and the two sides have such a deep grudge, will he come to Milan?

Unless he's not a normal person!

Hey?

No, this Qiao Cannon really doesn't seem to be a normal person......

Galliani's eyes lit up, pinched his chin and groaned for a moment, and said meaningfully: "Even if it is the runner-up, we have no reason to fire Ancelotti." And Joe Cannon just renewed his contract with the club two months ago, but his contract was only extended for one year. Whether he will be able to take over San Siro next summer is unknown! ”

……

……

The first half zuihou stage. Wayne Rooney scored a brilliant free-kick to take a huge advantage and go into the break with a score of 3-1.

This result is not only a morale boost for Chelsea, but also a heavy blow to the morale of AC Milan.

Most of the changes made at half-time were based on the situation on the pitch in the first half.

It's just that during this period of time, Chelsea's offensive is like a tide, the big soldiers are pressing, and a huge problem is in front of Ancelotti, how will AC Milan start the second half? How do you equalize? How do you come back and win?

But Ancelotti is a Shijie-level coach after all, and Qiao Wanxian does not dare to be careless.

'How do you think Carlo Ancelotti will adjust in the second half?'

While the players were taking a shower, Qiao Wanxian had a simple discussion with his assistant.

Blanco glanced at Boas and was the first to speak: "Although AC Milan scored a goal in the first half, but overall, their attack has never been able to open up the situation, and Crespo, who has high hopes, has no room to play at all, and the funny thing is that he has a yellow card." ”

"You're saying he's going to replace Crespo with Inzaghi?"

Boas was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant in his heart.

A manager's tactics are like playing a game of chess, and you have to make trade-offs.

Just like in the first half of the game, Chelsea's attack was strong, wave after wave of tension was breathless, and Milan was passive, whether it was in the midfield or at the back, it was difficult to withstand Chelsea's thunderous attack.

Does a single substitution of opposing strikers have an effect on Milan's overall tactics?

And it's not just a tactical issue for Ancelotti, with Berlukosny also weighing on his head like a mountain. Crespo is the player he named who must start, if Inzaghi replaces Crespo, the team overtakes the reversal, it is better to say, in case it does not receive the desired effect, then Prime Minister Bey will not be mad?

Boas and Blanco discussed Ancelotti's substitution, and Jovan, who listened to it, was bored for a while, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Feel free, anyway, the game must be dominated by me, how Ancelotti likes to toss, let's accompany him!" ”

That's domineering enough!

Boas smiled slightly after hearing this, and Blanco nodded again and again with convincing, this is called the confidence of the ace coach, right?

"How's Cafu's fitness?"

Qiao Wan turned his head to look at a white-haired old man, who was the team's physical trainer.

The old man usually doesn't talk much, but he is very fashionable, fiddling with the laptop in his hand, and after some inquiry, he made a summary: "In terms of running distance and sprint gap, his physical fitness should not last more than 20 minutes in the second half." ”

Qiao Wan smiled happily after listening to this.

In the first half, he could see that Cafu was embarrassed by Rooney's incessant sprinting, so he specially instructed Duff to swim to the left side to fight with Rooney, and strive to get the Brazilian captain to say goodbye to the field.

It's just that the performance of Duff, who has been absent from the battle formation for a long time, can't cause Qiao Wanxian's satisfaction, this person's heart is scattered, and it is difficult to give full play to his strength.

Duff's performance in the first half strengthened Jowan's desire to send him out of Stamford Bridge this summer.

Villas-Boas seemed to see Qiao Wanxian's intentions, and said with a smile: "Today's AC Milan backline seems to be a struggling old man, Cafu is 35 years old, Stam is 33 years old, Nesta is 30 years old, Maldini is 37 years old!" The central defender is good to say, Maldini is also full of fitness, but the Brazilian Cafu, in the second half of the first half, the fitness has obviously not kept up......

Qiao Wanxian exclaimed: "That's good, replace Michael in the second half...... Hehe, we're completely ruining Milan's right leg! ”

Villas-Boas and Joe Wanxian sang and harmonized, the meaning is already very clear, in the second half, Chelsea will still focus on the left side, stubbornly knock Cafu this point, use Owen to replace the unsatisfactory Duff, England strikers gathered on the left side, kill Cafu!

However, such a decision was very incomprehensible to Blanco, which was completely beyond his knowledge of football.

When Blanco was a player, he played under the coaching of famous coaches such as Jacques, Lippi, and Ferguson, and the football concepts that were instilled out were more orthodox.

For example, when Chelsea is at this time, the safer tactic is that Chelsea will focus on defending in the second half, let the backward AC Milan press out, and then use AC Milan's defensive loopholes to counterattack, so that no matter whether they can score or not, they can at least maintain the lead.

But this Joe cannon ...... It's always incredible.

"I know what you think, but if you think about it, wouldn't it be better to send them straight on their way?"

Qiao Wan smiled and patted Blanco's shoulder, with the demeanor of an elder, and said: "And to be honest, I never thought that Ancelotti had the courage to attack." He doesn't attack me, he's afraid of me! ”

Qiao Wan was concise and to the point, and clearly expressed his attitude.

I just saw that you couldn't do it on the right side, and I attacked to the end with an iron heart, so that you had to strengthen the defense on the right side, and you had to reclaim the position. Even if you defend the right flank, then there are bound to be holes in other areas, and with Frank Lampard's shift, there is no fear of not having more blossoms.

This is a brutal, even brutal tactic.

But Qiao Wan has a soft spot for leisure.

Attack, you will have to attack the psychological collapse and body cramps!

Fifteen minutes later, the second half began, with both teams opting for substitutions.

For Chelsea, Owen replaced Duff; For AC Milan, Inzaghi replaces Crespo.

As soon as the substitution came out, Qiao Wanxian immediately understood Ancelotti's tactical ideas, defensive counterattack!

Who is Inzaghi? A man who grows on the offside line!

Obviously, Ancelotti knew that in the second half of the game, Chelsea would still dominate the attacking tempo, and planned to use a long pass from Andrea Pirlo, Seedorf and others to find Inzaghi directly, and use a simple and crude long pass to launch an offensive against Chelsea's position.

The tactical arrangement is a little simpler, but against Chelsea, Ancelotti really can't arrange any unfathomable tactical play.

Facing Chelsea's possession, it was like a punch to the sea, and it was completely uncontrollable.

However, poor Crespo, full of confidence before the game, once released bold words to break Chelsea, twice burst the air in the first half, had an actor-level performance for Terry, and gave way to Rooney at the undercover level...... In this way, an Argentine center who was beaten with the lowest score of 3 points after the game first announced his farewell to the final venue.

He couldn't break through the door of Chelsea, but his brilliant performance in the course of the game against Chelsea is destined to be a proud stroke in the history of the Champions League - a must-have track for funny football! (To be continued......)
