With Fiorentina out of the way, let's take a look at the starting eleven on the home team's side of Juventus.
In this game, Ancelotti still did not change his style of disliking rotation and striving for safety, and wrote his most accustomed deck of cards into the starting list: goalkeeper Peruzzi, left back Pesoto, right back Torricelli, central defenders Giuliano and Montero, Tacinadi and Dutch boar Davies appeared in the midfield position, and Zidane, the core of the organization, occupied the throne of the starting midfield. His compatriot Thierry Henry, on the other hand, appeared as a left winger with his excellent performance in the previous game (of course, he can also be used as a left wing-back, in Italy, except for a few teams, the two positions are actually not very different, like Ljungberg who is now on the pitch, he is a right winger when attacking and a right wing-back when defending), and on the forward line, it is the starting duo of Pierrot, the prince of the Bianconeri, and the Uruguayan striker Otero.
"Did Carlo Ancelotti take the wrong medicine, how could he put Henry and Pierrot in the starting lineup at the same time?" In a VIP box at the Alp Stadium, Zhuang Mingge, who got the starting list for Juventus, said with a stunned face, "Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?" ”
That's right, don't look at Juventus's starting lineup, it can be said that it is star-studded, but Zhuang Mingge, from the perspective of a bystander, how do you think Ancelotti's lineup this time is very weird. If nothing else, how Pierrot and Thierry Henry coexist reasonably is a conundrum that Ancelotti needs to solve in this game!
Zhuang Mingge knows that Henry, a pseudo-center, and Pierrot, a nine-and-a-half-number, have almost all of their best range of movement in the left area of the middle of the frontcourt, which means that they are prone to "crashing" when running. Moreover, although the characteristics of the two are not the same, they are not the kind of strikers who are good at shooting at the ball, but need a certain amount of space to play freely.
Having the same area of activity, and being the kind of striker who only threatens with the ball at his feet, coupled with Pierrot's special position in the Juventus team, where his characteristics and range of movement overlap with his strict status, Thierry Henry can play well, that's really hell.
By the way, the main reason why Henry was able to perform extremely well in the match between Juventus and Inter Milan was because Pierrot was suspended for accumulation of yellow cards before the game, which gave Henry enough space to display his talents!
You know, players can be divided into about three categories according to tactical adaptability, some players can quickly integrate into the tactical system of most teams and play their own strength, there are many such players, and they are also the largest group, they can be called jack-of-all-trades type players, specific examples will not be detailed here; Some players have their own tactical system, as long as they are on the pitch, then they must honestly play according to their rhythm and way of playing, otherwise it will be difficult for the team to play its due combat effectiveness, the most typical examples of which are Ibrahimovic and Pirlo; But there are also some players, although they also have the unique style of the second type of player, but they do not have the strong influence and radiation range of the former, and cannot let their teammates take the initiative to cooperate with their way of playing, and the head coach needs to make tactical adjustments around him, so that teammates can support him in order to play his due power. In other words, they must have specific tactical support to be able to exert their full strength, and without tactical tilt, they can easily become a parallel product.
Thierry Henry is a typical example of the third category of players, although the Frenchman broke into the title of King of Highbury in his previous life, and even led the Gunners to an astonishing record of 49 consecutive league games unbeaten, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the leader of that Arsenal team is actually Patrick Vieira (Adams before 02), Henry is in a sense just a fierce player who has played an amazing number of games under a specific tactical system, rather than a handsome man who can dominate the whole situation. This can be seen from Arsenal's deteriorating record after Vieira's transfer.
Therefore, it can be said that the main reason why Henry has become a so-called parallel commodity in the mouths of Juventus fans from a star of hope is that he did not get the kind of space and tactical position when he played for Monaco, but was squeezed by Pierrot. At the same time, coupled with the fact that the Frenchman's position in the team is not yet secure, the manager Ancelotti will not design a special strategy for him, but only asks Henry to integrate into Juventus's existing tactical system...... With the combination of these factors, it is natural that Thierry Henry will struggle to play a game worthy of his transfer value at the Bianconeri.
As for the so-called inability of Zidane and Henry to coexist on the pitch by fans in the previous life, Zhuang Mingge feels that this is not a problem for Juventus now. After all, in the World Cup in France in the previous life, Zidane and Henry's tables were very good. Later, the reason why the two were so incompatible in the national team was mainly because Henry was already successful at the club level at that time, and wanted to replace the aging Zidane as the new core of the French team, so it was naturally impossible to be willing to assist the latter as before, and the implicit contradiction between the two was the guide - in fact, in the 06 World Cup, Ribery played the role that Henry played at the beginning of the French national team.
And now Henry does not have the fame and strength that can be compared with Zidane, so he can still accept the latter's command, honestly run around Zidane and pull space for him.
So, to sum up, it is really difficult for Zhuang Mingge to understand Ancelotti's thoughts. If you want Pierrot to get back to scoring feeling, then there is no need to get Henry up and grab the ball with him, it is better to go straight to Kovacevic and Ambrosetti; And if it was to reward Thierry Henry for his excellent performance in the last game, then there was no need for him to start Pierrot, as this would inevitably cause internal friction in the team, unless Carlo Ancelotti had a way to get Pierrot to obey his commands.
Zhuang Mingge didn't think that with Pierrot's temper and his status at Juventus, he would listen to Ancelotti, a manager who has little foundation in the club. You must know that in his previous life, Pierrot was driven away by his former best friend Inzaghi because of the ball problem, let alone an Ancelotti?
Just when Zhuang Mingge was thinking about the significance of Ancelotti's arrangement, the referee on the field blew the whistle in his mouth and announced that the battle of Tianwang Mountain had officially begun!
