Section 10 The tradition of the Milan defence

(a)

Milan vice-captain Gattuso was the third member of the team to come to report, and he also came early the next morning.

The fierce-looking player nicknamed "The Butcher" on the field is actually humble, which is surprising to Chen Zhuo, Abbiati said, Gattuso has always been like this, and Gattuso, who was born in poverty, has nothing to do with scandals after becoming famous, and his spare time is more to take care of a charitable foundation called "Come on, boys" that he has invested in.

In a simple training session the morning of the next day, Allegri asked Gattuso to have several offensive and defensive confrontations with Chen Zhuo, and used Gattuso to test Chen Zhuo's offensive and defensive confrontation ability.

In terms of confrontation ability, Chen Zhuo and Gattuso have a certain gap, Gattuso himself is not a jishu type, he relied on his abundant physical fitness and the rational use of physical collision to stand firmly in his main position in Milan and the national team, after the two of them did more than a dozen sets of confrontation exercises, Allegri found that Chen Zhuo's learning ability is very strong, and after some of Gattuso's actions are used a few times, Chen Zhuo will be able to treat others in his own way.

Gattuso's main position this season is still stable, Allegri's metabolism list this season, there is no Gattuso for the time being, although Gattuso is also 32 years old, but it will not be too much of a problem to play this season, of course, finding a replacement and replacement for Gattuso is also a priority.

By the afternoon of the day before the report day, the Milan players had arrived one after another, and there were still three or five people missing.

(b)

Among the existing registered players in Milan, the players included in Allegri's "metabolism" assessment list are all post-70s veterans, some of whom are used for rotation and substitutes, and some may be transferred out after the inspection period or winter break.

There are still a few days before Inzaghi's 37th birthday, the contract period of this meritorious player is the end of June 30, 2012, basically Milan will not let Inzaghi transfer again, let him train with the team and give young players to do running and point coaching, occasionally some games let him play as a substitute for ten minutes, the contract expires in Milan to retire and transfer to become a youth team coach has also been negotiated, a few days before the training camp he just got a B-level coaching certificate, it is said that he is in the same class with Baggio, it seems that Chen Zhuo also participated in that training class.

Inzaghi has an outgoing personality, and after he came, he told Gattuso and many other veteran players that Chen Zhuo made a lot of money this summer by writing columns and betting real operations on the shijie cup, and told everyone that Chen Zhuo has a nutritionist as a teacher, so Chen Zhuo's own cooking is also first-class, Inzaghi plans to hold a party at his house after the training camp, and let Chen Zhuo bring his nutritionist to cook for everyone.

Because of Inzaghi's "classmate", Chen Zhuo quickly got the recognition of some Milan veterans, Inzaghi's invitation to the party, it seems to be a big grin, in fact, it is also to help Chen Zhuo accumulate popularity, it is not difficult to speculate that Chen Zhuo and Inzaghi have a good relationship.

Another post-70s player also greeted Chen Zhuo very well, the Czech defender Yankulovski, who has a balanced left and right feet, received a call from his national team teammates Yarolim and Rozenar, asking him to take care of Chen Zhuo in Milan, and when greeting Yankulovski, it seems that Yarolim and Rozenar are too worried, and the ability of Chinese to deal with interpersonal relationships is stronger than he imagined, so it should not be long before Chen Zhuo takes care of him.

Born in 1977, Jankulovski is now in his sixth season with the Milan legion, and the player, who has often played at left wing-back, can also play at right-back and right midfield.

After six years and a contract expire in June 2011, Jankulovski has not received a contract extension from the team, so it is very likely that this is the veteran in Milan for a season.

Right-back Zambrotta, the 33-year-old was transformed into a right-back by Lippi in the Italian national team in the 2005 season, and was previously the successor to the Italian left wing-back after Maldini's retirement.

Like Inzaghi and Jankulovski, Zambrotta is also a group of players who are about to retire from the stage of Milan's history, and their role on the field is more of a "pass-through", so that Milan, the legend of the Rossoneri, has a successor to the future.

(c)

Born in the Milan academy, he has been loaned to Empoli, Sampdoria, Napoli, Piacenza, Modena, once shared with Torino, and then bought out last season, Ignazio Abate, the right-back who only turned 24 at the end of the year, has been inspected by Milan for six or seven years, basically, the mantle of Zambrotta's right-back will be inherited by him.

Compared to the solid and experienced Jankulovski and Zambrotta, Abate is full of energy and speed, and in Allegri's jihua, Abate will be the first choice at right-back this season, and Abate can also be used as a right winger or even a right winger.

The inspection of the right-back took 7 seasons, which is not a long time, because the inspection of the left-back of the AC Milan team took a full 10 seasons, and the inspection of the left-back Antonini, which began in the 2000 season, was honed in different styles of teams such as Padua, Ancona, Modena, Pescara, Arezzo, Sampdoria, Empoli, Siena, etc., and was officially enabled in the Milan first team last season, and this season Allegri is ready to be the main left wing-back Antonini, who is actually 28 years old.

It's not just the inspection of Abate and Antonini, but the total number of players of all ages who have been loaned out by the Milan youth team is more than 100!

In the fullback position, in addition to the two old and two new, the 34-year-old Otto of the former Lazio captain is also the main rotation candidate for the right back, in addition to the 29-year-old player Bonella, who is a central defender, can also temporarily play a cameo role at right back, as for the former pass, Georgian player Kaladze, although he is 32 years younger than Jankulovski, Zambrotta, and Otto, but the Milan management and coaching staff have lost confidence in him.

(iv)

Otto and Bonella can make cameos, but central defenders Nesta and Thiago Silva also need to be substituted, even though Nesta is known as "Shijie's first central defender", but he can't match the decline, the 34-year-old Nesta is no longer the courage of the year, although the legend is still there, but must also be prepared for emergencies.

Thiago Silva only transferred to Milan during the winter break last season, which was similar to the time when Chen Zhuo transferred to Hamburg, Silva was not favored by Milan fans, but in just half a season, Silva, the 26-year-old "best central defender in the Brazilian league", conquered Milan fans and gained a firm foothold.

Basically, the starting four in Milan's game now are central defenders Nesta and Thiago Silva, right wing-back Abate, and left wing-back from Antonini, Jankulovski, Zambrotta.

In the ranking of the main rotation, Odo is the rotation and first substitute of the central defender, Bonella is behind it, and the other 28-year-old American central defender Oneu has been a fringe role.

The average age is the main problem of Milan now, this season to the current position of the confirmed recruitment, there is no big and particularly famous defender introduction news, free transfer to join Colombian defender Yeppers, the official announcement is to use him to replace the retired central defender Favali at the end of last season, but no one is optimistic about Yeppers, after all, the defender is also 34 years old, Galliani Weishenme to introduce Yeppers, only he knows, Just like Galliani's introduction of Chen Zhuo Fanni, who is in his 60s, is something that confuses Milan fans.

In addition to Yepes, Milan's other defender has just introduced 22-year-old Greek teenager Papastathopoulos, the Greek national team in the middle of the just-concluded shijie Cup because of the capture of Messi's JJ, people nicknamed "Brother Bird", this candidate is Allegri asked Galliani.

The contract of "Brother Bird" was finalized on July 26, and he came to Milan to report the next afternoon, and the excitement was certain, the "Brother Bird" is also a central defender, and the transformation of his use of left and right full-backs is a key task for Allegri in the first month of the season.

The backline has always been the strongest of Milan's strengths, the legend of legends, and several numbers in the positions of left and right full-backs and centre-backs have been permanently and temporarily sealed.

Baresi's No. 6 has been permanently mothballed, and this number has been retired forever and is no longer in use.

Maldini's No.3 was temporarily mothballed, and when Maldini retired, Milan officially announced that unless a player with recognized potential, fame, reputation and above Maldini was able to play as Milan's left-back, the No.3 player would remain mothballed until Maldini's son grew up and joined the Milan first team.

There is also a number that has been temporarily sealed, which is the No. 2 of right-back Cafu, and even Zambrotta is not qualified to wear the No. 2 jersey, until one day, a shijie-level right-back who surpasses Cafu joins Milan, and Milan will unseal this number.

Only these three numbers have enjoyed this honor, and the rest have not, even if many Milan fans have applied, the decision to seal the No. 7 after Shevchenko's departure has not passed.

In addition to Kaladze, on the morning of the 28th, all the players in the entire back line arrived, and in this day's simple recovery training, Chen Zhuo was put into the guard group by Allegri, and let him try the left and right fullbacks and central defenders, including the left and right central defenders in parallel positions, as well as the marking central defenders and dragging central defenders in the chain position, all of which were tried by Chen Zhuo.

After the trial, Allegri didn't say anything, just asked the assistant coach to tell Chen Zhuo that in the official training that started on the 29th, Chen Zhuo was temporarily assigned to the group of midfielders.
