The warm-up match was not good, and the first four rounds were unsatisfactory with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, and Allegri was under a lot of pressure, but the stubborn Allegri still insisted on his own adjustment and run-in.

The home game against the satellite team Genoa was regarded by the "Milan Sports Newspaper" as Allegri's "bottoming out" battle, with only 5 points from four rounds, which is probably the worst start for the Milan team in the past decade, just to say that in recent seasons, Milan had 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the first four rounds last season, 2 wins and 2 losses in the 2008/09 season, 1 win and 3 draws in the 2007/08 season, and 3 wins and 1 loss in the 2006/07 season, all of which were better than the start of this season.

In terms of lineup running-in, Milan's progress is not ideal, the Greek player Papa, who has performed well in Genoa, has been on the bench in two rounds, and Xiao Luo, who is accustomed to running without the ball, although he started all the games, but never played the whole game, the fastest time was after halftime and was replaced, and the longest time he played was the first game, playing about 75 minutes.

What makes Milan fans most entangled is Pirlo, the "soul player" found in the Ancelotti era, although he started and played the whole game in the first four rounds of the game, but his ability to play is limited, especially in the face of the entire Serie A collective launch of "Rush Pirlo" as a "nirvana" to hit Milan and repeatedly worked, Pirlo's nickname has unwittingly become "sleeping skin", which means "sleeping Pirlo".

There is also a change, and that is Pato, who is extremely fast and has excellent marksmanship. He was almost squeezed off the bench by Robinho, for the simple reason that Pato's running route involuntarily collided with Ibrahimovic, and when he was on the pitch, he was out of step with the striker Ibrahimovic.

The only win in the four rounds, the first 4-0 win over promoted Maleche and the farewell match of last season's "Trident", with Borriello departing, Pato was on the bench, and Ronaldo only had half time to play. and Pirlo's slumber. Milan under Allegri is still in a state of low consolidation.

(b)

For the resilient Allegri, he has stuck to his tactical philosophy as for the current slump. Allegri understands this as a "labor pain" in the transition. After all, the style of play with Pirlo at its core was the glory of 2003 and 2007. And the all-round strikers Kaka and Shevchenko, who are matched with Pirlo, are gone.

One of the original ideas was to form a "double core" with Pirlo after introducing Ibrahimovic, a striker who meets the all-round characteristics of "control and passing". Connecting the duo through the running of Ronaldo and Robinho, Pato and Abate are more likely to use their speed to create space and space for Ibrahimovic.

But Allegri's assumption, by the end of the fourth round, has been officially declared aborted, Xiao Luo no matter how he arranged, Pato collided with Ibrahimovic as soon as he ran, Pirlo's "one look, two slow and three pass" encountered the entire Serie A "rush" tide, in addition to the first game, in the next three games, Xiao Luo, Pato and even Pirlo in the tactical system have all become the "colander" broken by the opponent!

After 1 loss and 2 draws, Allegri finally made a gambling decision. In fact, all decisions are trade-offs, and what to choose is what to give.

AC Milan's starting line-up for this round of matches, Gasperini was only seen on the afternoon of the matchday, about two or three hours before the game, which also shows that Allegri's determination is not so easy.

Milan's starting goalkeeper is still Abbiati, left wing-back Antonini, right wing-back Abate, central defenders Nesta and Thiago Silva, the midfield four are Gattuso, Pirlo, Boateng and Seedorf, and the forward duo is Robinho and Ibrahimovic.

In this game, the former Shijie Footballer, Milan's absolute main force Xiao Luo was put on the bench by Allegri, and it was not announced in advance that Xiao Luo had an injury, and the absolute incident was abnormal!

"In addition to Pirlo, today's Milan starters are made up of 'muscular men' and 'can't run', although it is incredible to put a talented player like Ronaldinho on the bench, but Allegri still did it, and this is not the first genius Allegri has put on the bench, 'duck' Pato has been on the bench for two games, and Papa has also been hidden by him!" Gasperini paused, raised his chin and said to the players sitting in the dressing room: "Of course, there are three more geniuses, all of whom are with us......"

Gasperini was clearly talking about Chen Zhuo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Kaladze, but of course it was also meant to be teasing and lightening the atmosphere, and the players laughed.

"The list is given on a 4-4-2 basis, but in reality they should be positioned like this...... Gasperini put up a circular magnetic plate symbolizing AC Milan players on the tactical board, and introduced: "Pirlo's position should be in front of the two 'muscular men' central defenders, Gattuso and Seedorf will be in the two ribs in front of Pirlo, and Boateng will be in the forward midfield position, forming a diamond-shaped triangle." ”

"Robinho should be behind Ibrahimovic, he as a shadow striker and midfielder, and Boateng must be constantly changing, these are two 'run dead', like the left and right full-backs Antonini and Abate, they are all 'run dead', their range of running is from the ribs to the wing, helping Ibrahimovic pull out of the gap."

This metaphor is very vivid, four "muscular men" plus four "can't run to death", covering Pirlo and Ibrahimovic, which is really in response to the words of the "poisonous tongue" Girardiza , under the leadership of Allegri, AC Milan's style is becoming more and more like Atalanta.

(iv)

This season's Genoa team's tactics are no longer monotonous "3-4-3", they are much richer than last season, and they have now derived two tailor-made tactical systems in addition to "catching the sea tactics" and "twin tower tactics".

In Chen Zhuo's view, the "sea chasing tactics" are the most suitable tactics to deal with a "senile dragon bell" team like Parma, while the "twin towers tactics" are obviously used to bully Fiorentina, who only has second-rate central defenders. And it is still the "abuse of vegetables" tactic of "taking advantage of your illness to kill you", both of which are not suitable for AC Milan.

Against AC Milan, it is to use the double back and three central defenders to stabilize the defense first, and then as last season and the previous rounds of this season, through "rushing Pirlo" and using speed to find gaps in the wings, with defensive counterattacks as the keynote, seeking stability as the key, and getting a draw is a victory.

However, after seeing Allegri's starting list, Chen Zhuo also had to admit that Allegri used a group of "muscular men" and "can't run to die" to support the tactics of the two cores before and after. They have already made up for their two major weaknesses!

In other words. Allegri originally used a bunch of second- and third-rate "muscular men" and "can't run to death" to create the "Atlanta Miracle", and now he has replaced him with a group of "muscular men" and "can't run to death" with first-class technical and tactical abilities, who are worth dozens or even hundreds of times, from Allegri's point of view. Even if you give up the former Shijie Footballer, there's no shame!

Chen Zhuo vaguely felt it. Pirlo in Allegri's tactics. It has become a "sub-focus", and Allegri would rather give up Pato and Ronaldinho for the sake of Ibrahimovic. That shows that he is determined to make Ibrahimovic, a striker with the all-round characteristics of "controlling, passing, and shooting", the new core of AC Milan!

As for Pirlo, it is likely to be like Gasperini's "twin towers tactics", more of a role is to contain the tactics of "rushing to Rob Pirlo" of each team, and the four "muscle men" before and after execute the "strangulation" of the players who violated Pirlo, and then create opportunities for the "Ibrahimovic core" through four "can't run to death"!

"Coach, I want to ask a question." Chen Zhuo asked Gasperini as he walked out of the locker room and walked to the players' tunnel to play.

"Oh, what's the problem?" Gasperini asked.

Chen Zhuo said: "Have you analyzed that Milan may change formations, but you don't know how they will adjust, so you simply didn't design targeted containment tactics, just let us play what we are more familiar with?" ”

Gasperini smiled, patted Chen Zhuo's shoulder, and said: "After the first half of the game, I think you will have a new tactical idea for the second half of the game, and I and the coaching staff will also think about it in the first half, and you will adjust it at halftime, I said that the second half is to be handed over to you!" ”

Regarding Chen Zhuo's question, Gasperini neither admitted nor denied it, and at the same time told Chen Zhuo that he continued to retain Chen Zhuo's right to deploy and command the game in the second half.

However, Gasperini did not tell Chen Zhuo that this request was actually made by Galliani to Preziossi, it is said that this is what Allegri meant, Preziosi also told Gasperini that Galliani's original words are that this game does not require Genoa to concede the ball, as long as it is not too rough and causes players to be injured.

For Chen Zhuo, who is almost 29 years old, AC Milan's purpose of training him is obviously different from those players who have been brought into the academy from Africa and South America through scouting, Milan has always had the habit of training players who have played for their own clubs as coaches, Ancelotti, Donadoni, Leonardo, etc., etc., etc

AC Milan found out about Chen Zhuo by chance, when it was recommended by one of Berlusconi's business partners, and after Galliani got Chen Zhuo's information and analyzed it, he was very interested in Chen Zhuo's sudden rise to fame in the Bundesliga, which was almost 29 years old. Moreover, Chen Zhuo, who has never received systematic coach training and served as an executive coach in Hamburg, actually did a good job, which made Galliani realize the long-term value of Chen Zhuo.

At that time, when negotiating with Chen Zhuo's agent Spanwitz, Galliani said frankly that if he wants to become a player and coach in AC Milan, it is absolutely impossible to use Chen Zhuo's information, and even Chen Zhuo is not qualified to serve as an assistant coach of Milan, after all, AC Milan is a real giant in Europe.

However, Galliani also said that even if Milan agreed to sign Chen Zhuo, who is about to turn 29, it shows that the Milan club fully recognizes the potential of Chen Zhuo's value as a player and coach, and Milan is willing to create opportunities for Chen Zhuo to prove his tactical planning and design skills and command and dispatch ability, and accumulate fame and qualifications for Chen Zhuo.

These are all things that Chen Zhuo does not know, the reason why Gasperini hinted that Chen Zhuo said that the cooperation between big clubs and small clubs is not only limited to a win or defeat between the first team and the first division, but there is a deep cooperation behind it, in fact, it is also inconvenient to find out, this seemingly simple game, in fact, contains a lot of purposes behind it.

The San Siro Stadium was largely full, with Genoa, who have won all four of their Serie A games, led by three Milan players, two of whom were even the 'Hamburg Twin Stars' of last season's Europa League who had never played for AC Milan in a competitive match.

There was also a news release before this game, Chen Zhuo's lawsuit against the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica" has been officially accepted by the Milan District Court, and the lawyers on both sides have refused to settle, and the first trial time has been set for October 1, which happens to be Chen Zhuo's 29th birthday.

In the stands of this game, Milan fans and Genoa fans at the same time played a slogan to support Chen Zhuo to protect their legitimate rights and interests, today's Chen Zhuo is like a link, so that the atmosphere between Milan and Genoa fans seems very cordial and friendly, but cordial is cordial, the home and away team stands are still separated by protective nets and riot police, both clubs have extreme fans, who knows what will happen!

The atmosphere at the San Siro Stadium is very warm and hot, before the opening of the fans themselves played a human wave, sitting in the away team stands of the Hong Kong team players also happily played along, when their figures were put on the big screen, the scene also broke out of warm applause, although I know that this applause is actually a tribute to Baggio sitting among the players, the Hong Kong fans who watched the live broadcast are still very proud, because of Chen Zhuo and Baggio, now the Hong Kong team is not like a team ranked more than 140 shijie, Their popularity is already very high.

It is really a "lighthouse effect", in the past few days, in addition to the players who play in the European League, there are now Chinese players in the Major League of the United States, the Australian League and the Japanese and Korean Leagues, many of whom have taken the initiative to contact the Hong Kong FA through their agents to inquire about naturalization.

Relatively speaking, the fans of Chinese mainland have become a little sour, originally a good Chinese player, Gen Hongmiaozheng, a military family, born in the Bayi Youth Team, and was also selected for the 19-year-old national youth, how inexplicably became a Hong Kong person! After seeing "Sports News" broadcast Chen Zhuo's "Victoria Roundabout" a few days ago, I found that this Hong Kong, China player was actually like this!

This is angry, scolding while being angry, of course, they are all scolding the bureaucrats of the Celestial Football Association, although they actually don't like football, and they don't even know anything about the rules of football, but it doesn't prevent them from topping up behind those scolding posts, as if they were also football geniuses who were killed by the Celestial Empire Football Association.

Under the interweaving of various complex emotions, this ball game, which set a new high in ratings in Hong Kong, China and mainland China, began. (To be continued......)
