Section 9 Back-to-back starts
(a)
The 22nd round of the league was played on 23 January 2011 at home to promoted Marchesena.
In the first round of the game, AC Milan was defeated by Cesena away, but Roma's 1-5 loss to Cagliari in that round became the biggest upset, and AC Milan's upset was not particularly mentioned.
Cesena is a small club that spent 22 years in the second division before promotion this season, and the dark horses in the first few rounds of the season were okay, but by the halfway point of the season they had slipped to the bottom four and had already begun their arduous and long relegation journey.
Although it is a little-known club, it is the place where two legendary coaches started, the last time he appeared in the first division in the 1989/90 season, the coach who directed Cesena just received an international A certificate, Cesena is also the first Serie A team he coached, "Silver Fox" Marcello. Lippi.
And in 1989, when Lippi was just starting out, another legend who had gone from Cesena's youth team to coach was in full swing in Serie A. Saki, for five years from 1977 to 1982, Arrigo. Sacchi coaches and studies at Cesena Juniors.
Ambrosini had just been born when Sacchi was in charge of Cesena in 1977, and by this season Ambrosini had been with AC Milan for 15 years, and the season he was spotted by Capello, in 1994/95, the 17-year-old Ambrosini was playing for Cesena.
These are all materials that Chen Zhuo checked himself, and Allegri did not talk about them at the pre-match preparation meeting.
It's not the same as in Hamburg and Genoa. At AC Milan's pre-match preparation meeting, basically they will not specifically design any tactics to contain the opponent's characteristics, but more emphasize how they should strengthen their attacks and how to play their own advantages. Because AC Milan is the object of study for all opponents, now the situation is reversed, the league teams are studying Milan's weaknesses and considering from which point to "surprise" Milan!
In this game, Milan's defense is a system formed by three backs and two central defenders, supplemented by bilateral defenders, and there are more changes in the offensive routine.
Left winger Cassano can lead and break through. The combination of center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy and forward Chen Zhuo is needless to say. They have proven time and again the versatility of their attacking routine, with assists from left and right wing-backs Antonini and Abate, and especially the speed of right winger Abate, also being an important scoring weapon for Milan.
(b)
Perhaps all the big teams have one thing in common. The problem they face is not that the players are not enough. It's about how to balance the need to put it in the second-rate team, and how to use these players. And how to choose between the tactical design, the departure of Ronaldo and the inclusion of Pirlo in the injury list did not completely solve these problems.
All in all. The locker room of the big team is more complicated than the locker room of other teams, and how to control and control a group of bigwigs in the locker room, especially those who are not good-tempered among the bigwigs, is an important ability of the head coach of every big team, even more important than his tactical design and command.
The contradiction between Ibrahimovic and Chen Zhuo is just a small CASE, because in the personalities of the two, Ibrahimovic is impulsive and Chen Zhuo is calmer, and the possibility of misfire is relatively small, but among the players in Milan, not all of them are Chen Zhuo's good temper.
"If you can't kick, go back and study hard! Learn from your vice-captains, they are all Brazilians, why is the gap so big? On the training ground, Gattuso yelled at Pato.
Not to be outdone, Pato yelled at Gattuso, Gattuso saw that the little cub dared to fight back, his eyes were about to rush up, and he was hugged by Chen Zhuo who ran over, and Seedorf also ran over and grabbed Pato, not letting the two of them meet each other.
This is not the first time, in a game in the first half of the season, Gattuso and Pato had a quarrel in the game, when Seedorf used to pull them apart, during the break of the last round against Lecce, Gattuso and Pato quarreled again in the players' tunnel, and those rumors of "infighting" in the media are not all fake in many cases.
One of the reasons for the quarrel between the two was that Gattuso could not tolerate that Pato was too slow to play the ball after receiving a pass from a teammate, and he was very easy to lose the ball when he went alone, which caused great pressure on the team's defense.
For Pato, before coming to Milan, he was worshiped and sought after by fans everywhere, enjoying the praise of "genius", and everyone has their own rhythm of playing, although fast speed is Pato's natural advantage, but Pato prefers to be praised by others Jishu, and Pato does not like to run all over the field like a sprinter during the game, and prefers to use skillful jishu and graceful feints to pass people......
Therefore, Pato is very unconvinced by Gattuso's accusations, why does this old guy must be right, when he served as the "offensive trident" under Coach Leonardo last season, there were not so many things, and he didn't play well!
Speaking of Leonardo, Gattuso is even more angry, he and the Milan veteran former teammate is not good, after the winter break asked Gattuso what he thinks of Leonardo's return to the helm of Inter Milan after leaving AC Milan for half a season, Gattuso said: "God, money is really everything, his performance has nothing to do with professional coaching." Good luck to Leao, except for one thing, and that is that he will get nothing at Inter. ”
This is not the first brain-dead thing Gattuso has done, and in the Milan derby last season, Gattuso, who had already been shown a yellow card, was injured and could not hold on, and asked to be substituted. But the substitute Seedorf was still wearing his shoes, and the impatient Gattuso continued to play and maliciously shoveled Sneijder from behind, and after getting up, he didn't even look at the referee, and roared without looking back, throwing off his shin guards and leaving the field on his own initiative.
is essentially a good person, but once the brain is short-circuited, it is quite scary, this is Chen Zhuo's evaluation in front of Gattuso, Gattuso also accepted it with a smile, no seizure is because Gattuso does not hate Chen Zhuo, if the same words are replaced by Pato or Ibu, a few people he hates, the result will be completely different.
In dealing with these "veterans", Allegri did not apply the routine he used to teach Chen Zhuo and Ibu the conflict, but asked them both to go to the scene to cool down and calm down, and then criticize and educate them separately.
(c)
Mood swings will always have an impact on the state, some players are not obvious, but in some players it is especially obvious, which is determined by the player's psychological resilience.
Gattuso and Pato are compared at this point, Gattuso's ability to resist pressure is much stronger, and when he trains after things have calmed down a little, Pato is in no state, while Gattuso is running all over the field as if he has been doped.
This also led to the fact that Pato did not even sit on the bench when he sent troops against Cesena, and Allegri arranged Chen Zhuo's partner Robinho as a double forward midfielder, with Ruud van Nistelrooy as a single arrow, Gattuso, Seedorf and Van Bommel in the back three, and Antonini, Nesta, Thiago Silva and Abate in the back four, all without any adjustments.
On the bench, Allegri brought in Inzaghi, who had performed well in the last cup game, and in addition to the bad boy Cassano, Pato could only watch his team-mates play this game in solitude from the stands.
Chen Zhuo, who came on as a substitute in the last round of the league, did not disappoint the fans, and this game reassured Milan fans, in the first half of the season, at least 6 games were Ibrahimovic saviors, and his 7 goals brought Milan 5 wins and 1 draw, all of which were key goals, which once made the media and fans worry that AC Milan suffered from "Ibrahimovic syndrome".
However, Chen Zhuo's arrival relieved them, Milan beat Cesena 3-1 at home, Chen Zhuo won the match with a long-range goal and two assists, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robinho each scored a goal, and they could win without Ibrahimovic, and avenged the 2-0 defeat to Cesena in the first half of the season, which made Milan fans feel very happy.
(iv)
Although Chen Zhuo and Chen Zhuo Van Nistelrooy are in excellent form, Allegri still follows the original plan for comprehensive considerations, allowing them to focus on the cup and Champions League, and the league is still handed over to the squad that has been run-in.
Chen Zhuo started again in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia on January 27, this time with Ruud van Nistelrooy, who formed a cheerleading team to cheer on Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
After the departure of Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Genoa continued to slump, with four rounds of winless games in January, two draws and two defeats, not only being left farther and farther away by Milan, but also being overtaken by Napoli and Lazio, and has fallen to fourth place, and Gasperini has also been blamed for this. It's just that for these, Chen Zhuo and Fanny can't help.
Not seeing Genoa, led by Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy, beat Sampdoria in the derby is the biggest regret of Genoa fans.
In the first half of the season, Sampdoria applied for a postponement on the grounds of overlapping matches and was approved by the league committee, which was a normal thing, but in the minds of Genoa fans, this postponement was not like that.
They believe that this is the behavior of cowards and cowards on Sampdoria to avoid the contest with Chen Zhuo and Van Nistelrooy in this way of waiver and postponement when they learned that Chen Zhuo and Ruudney were determined to leave Genoa in the second half of the season.
Sampdoria naturally did not admit it, but from the degree of focus on Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy in this game against Milan, it can be seen that they are indeed afraid of this pair.
In Genoa in the first half of the season, the two of them teamed up to score 13 goals, and in Milan, the two of them teamed up for two games, Vanney scored four goals with this old gun, and Chen Zhuo also scored two goals and four assists. (To be continued......)
