"Half an hour to make a change? Any intentions? Allegri asked.

The two assistant coaches, Tasotti and Costacuta, both shook their heads, and Tasotti said: "I changed all two wingers and replaced them with two centre-backs, and the intention was to give up playing against us and switch to a defensive counterattack with a dense defense in the middle. ”

Allegri's two assistants, Tasotti and Costacuta, are both meritorious players of the Milan team, when the Milan defense line was shocking, the left fullback Maldini, the lagging libero Baresi, the central defender Costacuta, and the right fullback is Tassotti, after retiring, the two have been hired as assistant coaches by the club, and have assisted Ancelotti and Leonardo, both of whom are "veterans of the three dynasties".

Taking the list of substitutions from Costacuta's hand, Allegri saw that this substitution of Re|Na|Ya|, the left winger Scully and the right striker Palacio were replaced, and Dainelli and Chikau, both central defenders.

"Chikau was also brought in from Brazil this season, nicknamed 'central defender goalscorer' in the Brazilian league, and was also selected as the best right-back in the league squad when he won the Brazilian league championship with Corinthians in 09, 1.84 meters, there is no absolute advantage in this height in the backline, but the point jishu is excellent, and the long-range shot and free kick jishu are also great." Costacuta introduced Allegri, paused, looked up and said, "That's all I know so far. ”

"Coach, in this game, compared with last season, goalkeeper Eduardo, defenders Veloso and Patton, right midfielder Raphinha, center Lucatoni, and this new Brazilian central defender Chikau, there are a total of six new faces, I think they should mainly use their own weakness of not being mature enough to set the ball between new and old players, especially between new players and new players, and turn defense into attacking ......," Tasotti suggested.

"The opponent adjusted the lineup to 5-4-1, in my understanding, they want to wear down the sharpness of our players through intensive defense, and wait until the physical strength of some of our veteran players declines, and then they use their physical advantages to attack, so I think at the beginning, let Abate press more from the right side, and try to score quickly, in order to take the initiative ......"

"'Centre-back goalscorer', best right-back, long-range shots, free-kicks......" Allegri didn't immediately respond to the two of them's suggestion, he walked to the front of the tactical board, made a change to the Hot|Na|Asia|lineup, and muttered to himself.

In the original starting lineup of the team, the starting goalkeeper Eduardo, the starting central defender Ranocchia, and the left and right wing-backs were Italian native player Bochetti and Serbian player Ramovic.

Neither of these two full-backs is too famous, the right wing-back 23-year-old Serbian player Ramovic participated in the Beijing Olympics two years ago, and was a player of Red Star Belgrade last season, 1.88 meters tall and 81 kilograms, can be qualified as a right wing-back and Liliang central defender, and is a versatile pawn for Gasperini.

Another fullback, Bochetti, who was selected for the Italian national team squad, is a jishu-type defender, 1.78 meters tall and 70 kilograms of weight makes him a little lacking in air defense, but the defense and steals are steady and fierce, full of physical energy, as a fullback can be very competent.

According to the convention of the 3-4-3 formation, the left and right wingers are the left winger Crishitto and the right winger Raphinha, who have played for many years, respectively, and the two backs are defensive defender Veloso and playmaker Chen Zhuo.

There are three forwards, the left and right wingers are Scully and Palacio, and the central striker Lucatoni.

An hour before the start of the game, the Heat applied for a change to the starting lineup, which was allowed according to the rules of the warm-up game.

Replacing two wing-forwards Scully and Palacio, replacing two central defenders Dainelli and Chico, from the perspective of lineup adjustment, Gasperini gave up playing against the powerful Milan and changed the lineup to 5-4-1, and it is three central defenders and two backs, and the dense defense of the middle.

Allegri was not surprised by this adjustment, but was curious about Gasperini's willingness to give up the 3-4-3 he had always insisted on.

Full attack and full defense is a concept, not that all 11 people rushed into the opponent's penalty area when attacking, this is just a Chinese translation.

In English, the all-in strategy is "Total-Football", and in the Dutch it is "Totaalvoetbal", which may be more intuitive if translated as "all-round football strategy", but it is not as domineering as "all-attack and all-defense".

It is characterized by the fact that any one of the teams that play this tactic can take over the role of any teammate and complete their tasks at any time, and everyone can appear in any position on the pitch and complete the tasks of the position, in other words, the ultimate of this tactic is the random combination of eleven all-round players on the field.

After finishing training last night, Chen Zhuo took the initiative to find Gasperini, provided him with a tactical design plan for Milan, and verbally explained to Gasperini the meaning of "winning with the right match" in the "Art of War".

After a day of consideration, and an hour before the start of the game, Gasperini finally made up his mind, because although he had not read the old Chinese military book, he had also heard of its magic, and Gasperini could understand the strategic and philosophical significance of "Zhengqi Sheng".

The difference in quality with AC Milan is obvious, in the selection of players, Gasperini has been as good as possible to select players who are balanced in attack and defense, but the current team compared to Michels and Cruyff's all-attacking and defensive teams, the individual ability of the players is also obvious.

The lineup and tactical planning designed by Chen Zhuo, Gasperini is indeed focused and targeted, and after all, Chen Zhuo has just trained with Milan for a while, and he is relatively clear about the problems that Milan has now.

It was not to give up 3-4-3, but to design a set of unexpected formations on the basis of 3-4-3, so as to catch the opponent off guard, and Chen Zhuo's statement also moved Gasperini.

(c)

Almost Milan were fooled, and Gasperini judged that Re's intention was to launch a surprise attack in the opening game, and their position was not the 5-4-1 that Tasotti and Costa Curta saw on the surface, but the characteristics of the Chikao and Chen Zhuo's adaptation to multiple positions.

Slightly different from Gasperini's judgment, Chen Zhuo actually appeared on the left side instead of the back position at the beginning, three left-sided players grabbed it, Xiao Luo looked a little sticky, after breaking the ball, Chen Zhuo went down along the left side, fortunately, Abate was asked to observe and then make an assist, Rao was so or let Heat get a corner kick opportunity, Lucatoni was not able to top the ball under Milan's defense, Abbiati confiscated the weak shot.

The position of Heat|that|Asia|, is still 3-4-3, Dainelli and Veloso partner in the double back, Chikao to the position of right-back, the original right-back Ramovic to the position of the right wingback to implement high defense and steals on Pato, the task of the right midfielder Raphinha in the right winger position, seems to be taking on the role of lateral inward cutting and harassment of Milan's backline, Raphinha and Chen Zhuo's role in defense is not to let Milan calmly organize the attack from the back line.

Although it did not work wonders quickly, Gasperini still recognized the effect of this change.

Compared with Juventus's Scully and Argentina's backup winger Palacio, Chen Zhuo and Raphinha's defensive ability is obviously better, Chen Zhuo interferes with Xiao Luo by running back and forth and restricts Abate from daring to press boldly, Raphinha is forcing Pato to prevent him from starting quickly, and Dainelli is responsible for closely marking Pirlo's function.

It doesn't matter what the formation is, in fact, it is a copy of Chen Zhuo's "double libero" in Hamburg, and Vanney on the bench can see it at a glance!

It's just that now Chen Zhuo, a free man, appeared on the left side at the beginning!

Sure enough, the initial sneak attack failed to succeed, the three-board axe failed to cut through Milan's defense, and the routine of pressing in the high position was quickly adapted by the Milan team, and a few minutes later, the team took the initiative to adjust the formation.
