Chapter 773 - Slipping You Away!
Ye Qiu stood in the command area of the home team's coaches, looking at the game on the court, although it had only started less than twenty seconds, he had already clearly seen that this game was not simple.
He has always believed that the tactical ability to be mixed into the head coach position in Italy is not bad, and he has never doubted that he can stand out among so many tactical talents and successfully coach a top team like AC Milan.
Allegri's tactical ability was outstanding, as was evident from the opening layout.
In fact, he basically followed the style of the first leg between the two sides, but more importantly, he learned the lessons of the first game and also made adjustments in some details, such as his position of Boateng on the same level as Shaarawy and Niang.
Some people may think that Boateng is going to play as a striker, but the problem is precisely here, he does not seem to play as a striker, once he loses the ball, his position appears in front of Pirlo, at the same time, Shaarawy and Niang are on the same level as him, and the front and back of the whole Milan are relatively compact and very elastic.
Because once they break the ball successfully, with the degree of Shaarawy and Niang, especially Shaarawy's dribbling, they can penetrate the Tottenham Hotspur defense in the shortest possible time to form a threat, and Boateng will also be able to become the most dangerous attack point in AC Milan's frontline at the moment of transition between attack and defense.
Judging from this arrangement, Allegri is indeed quite good, even among the Italian managers, he is outstanding, and he is not only defensive, but also quite good offensively, and the level of coaching is not low.
Of course, there are not without problems, even if Allegri is good and good, but the problem is quite obvious, and that is the midfield.
It should be said that at its peak, AC Milan's midfield was invincible in the whole of Europe, especially the four tens during the Ancelotti period, which was gorgeous and world-top, and even caused some tragedies.
For example, the current AC Milan captain Ambrosini, the Italian midfielder who had the style of Albertini when he debuted, after a period of eye-catching, gradually fell into a trough due to injury, and finally waited for him to recover, but AC Milan ushered in a blowout of midfield talent, which made him have to change his style.
As Ye Qiu often said, if you want to have a Pirlo in the midfield, then you have to be equipped with a Gattuso, which is a fixed combination, because Pirlo sits in the midfield and lacks defense, there must be a player like Gattuso to fill this vacancy, so these two players with very obvious roles and functions have become the absolute main force of AC Milan.
Ambrosini, who is more well-rounded but looks more mediocre, has become a soy sauce character, so in order to play, he has to strengthen his defense, coupled with the change of training and game tasks and responsibilities, his passing and handling of the ball has degraded a little, but basically it remains level.
With the departure of Pirlo, Gattuso, Van Bommel and others, AC Milan's midfield gradually lost its threat, Ambrosini stepped up and sat in the midfield, but this player cannot be said to have no advantages, but the disadvantages obviously outweigh the advantages, and a very bad point is that he is old.
Ambrosini and Pirlo are not the same type of midfielder, Pirlo is older, but his tactical threat is still so obvious, even stronger, of course, his shortcomings are more exposed and prominent, so the whole world knows that the most reliable way to play Tottenham Hotspur is to pinch Pirlo.
But Ambrosini's type of player, the older he gets, the more his performance is reduced, so Allegri's desire to continue to strengthen the midfield is very strong, because he himself knows very well that if Ambrosini is ten years younger, this lineup will be at least a step higher than the current combat effectiveness.
But there are no ifs in this world, so he still has to make a fuss in the midfield.
Just like Ye Qiu, the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is now very dependent on Pirlo, but the basis of Pirlo's threat is that Ye Qiu will belong to Gattuso and Seedorf and share the responsibilities of the two central midfielders, so these two players have to be the kind of players who have a strong ability to cover the area, Coutinho is not as good as Eriksen, so the Brazilian was loaned to Southampton, and Pogba, Phil Jones, Sandro and other players are favored.
And Ye Qiu has been cultivating several young players in the team, he hopes to cultivate these players, as long as there is a player with the ability and signs to replace Pirlo, Ye Qiu will take Pirlo, and the midfield strength of the entire Tottenham Hotspur will be further improved, because now Pirlo lacks the mobility that Tottenham Hotspur needs.
Just imagine, all the points in the field are cruising and moving, but Pirlo's point is relatively fixed, just like Ye Qiu was going to sell Vanney back then, if he sells, as long as he finds a suitable replacement, the strength of the team will be greatly improved.
But so far, Ye Qiu has not seen any signs of replacing Pirlo, he has tried Pogba, Sandro and Phil Jones and others many times, and also examined Nick Powell and Will Hughes, but the problem is still zài, either too fierce or too young.
The combination of a set of lineups is to consider the overall situation, just like Tottenham Hotspur, Ramsey and Vidal are both fierce generals, more than brave, but not calm and rational, so a Pirlo is needed.
In the same way, there is no way to determine what the future of Pogba, Phil Jones and Sandro will be for the time being, but at present, they are all fierce generals, so once Pirlo is taken and they are used, the problem will be exposed, and the entire midfield will lose its calm and sanity and become disorderly.
Tottenham's problem now is clear and straightforward, and that is Andrea Pirlo
How long the Italian midfielder's condition and strength can be maintained is not only the worry of countless professionals, but also the worry of Ye Qiu, because once Pirlo's form drops significantly, or suffers an injury, Tottenham Hotspur's situation becomes very passive.
Although Tottenham Hotspur can't play without Pirlo, there is still a big gap in combat effectiveness between Pirlo and Tottenham Hotspur without Pirlo.
Sometimes Ye Qiu also knows that he has missed a lot of players, such as Yaya O Toure and Modric, although Modric is not suitable for Tottenham Hotspur at that time, but it is very suitable for the current Tottenham Hotspur, and Yaya O Toure is needless to say, and the other is Lucas Reva, if you want to talk about transformation, he is more suitable for transformation than Sandro.
In addition, if you want to talk about reinforcements, Xavi Martinez, who transferred to Liverpool, this player is also quite good, but unfortunately, Liverpool will not sell this leading defender if he is killed.
Ye Qiu didn't regret it, because he knew very well that there was the environment and situation at that time, and he couldn't regret not being at the beginning just because he encountered problems now, because the choice you made in that environment was not wrong.
Also, there is nothing wrong with selling Yaya O Toure, Cesc Fabregas and David Silva, and bringing in Vidal and Pirlo, because after the team's midfield transformation, the entire strength and resilience have been greatly improved.
Will Cesc Fabregas and David Silva be able to provide the team with 12km of running coverage per game?
Therefore, the best way to change is to improve, and if you encounter problems after you change, the best way is to think about how to solve the problem, rather than trying to go backwards, which is one of the things that Ye Qiu is now giving Peter De Visel to do, he wants to introduce a midfielder who can at least provide the team with excellent mobility, wide range of running coverage, and a steady success rate of the ball.
At the moment, Peter De Visser is arranging scouting to look at Shakhtar Donetsk's Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho.
This player is not the same type of midfielder as Pirlo, but he has the strength to play in Tottenham Hotspur in many aspects, and his mobility and defensive ability are valued by Ye Qiu, and the big disadvantage is that he is expensive and age.
Ye Qiu has always felt that it is not a problem that players have shortcomings, the key is whether there is room and time for improvement.
It's like Ambrosini, if he could get a stable appearance and environment in the years at the beginning of the century, then he would definitely not be the technical characteristics he is now, but because he appeared in AC Milan, the organization has Andrea Pirlo, the defense has Gattuso, nothing to do with you, then you go and play soy sauce, specialize in the connection, and be your all-round midfielder.
Chelsea's previous midfielder Essien was the same, when Ballack and Makelele and others were there, he didn't need to stand, he didn't need to play the ball, so he covered, so he became a running Ghanaian buffalo, but once the team had this need, he also had this awareness, so he made an appropriate transition, and then his ability to play the ball was greatly improved, and his running became much smarter.
Fernandinho is older, he will be twenty-eight years old at the end of this season, and he is a Brazilian player, Ye Qiu is a little worried.
Either way, it is imperative to bring in a strong midfielder
Allegri's tactics are indeed very distinctive, but Tottenham Hotspur's opening was not in a hurry, Ye Qiu's strategy was to seek progress steadily, because he felt that Allegri would want to attack first.
This is to mention that after the first round of the match, Ye Qiu deliberately played against Allegri at the press conference, and then also started a war of words in the media, just to hit Allegri and make him angry, coupled with the advantage of the round, he thought Allegri would attack.
Judging from the opening and tactics, Allegri did want to attack, but Tottenham Hotspur snatched the ball back from the feet of AC Milan just eight seconds after kick-off, and Ambrosini crossed diagonally across the touchline and the ball changed hands.
There is a good saying, if you lose it, it is not so easy to regain it
Tottenham Hotspur started this game steadily, but Ye Qiu realized that he had guessed correctly as soon as he saw Allegri's lineup at the beginning, so he let the players keep the ball in possession and slow down the pace to play.
Don't you want to be fast? Then I'll slow down a little bit and play with you
Tottenham Hotspur could also brush up on possession when they wanted to brush it up, especially after eight seconds of play, and by the sixth minute of the game, AC Milan barely touched the ball a few times, the only thing that was passed out of the touchline by Montolivo.
This creates an interesting phenomenon and presents a dilemma for the AC Milan players on the pitch: do they want to go forward or retreat?
Allegri is also very difficult, because he knows that he wants to attack, to fight for away goals, but now he can neither get the ball nor play a threatening attack, just let him retreat, he is not reconciled, the players are not reconciled, but if he does not retreat, in case of negligence, it is easy for Tottenham Hotspur to penetrate the defense.
There are gains and losses, when you don't dare to press the defense line forward, and want to keep the front court pressing, then I don't press forward, I will be in the half of the foot to control the ball looking for opportunities, you want to grab up, but be careful, you come up, the defense line does not dare to come up, then the midfield coverage area is big.
Why anetbsp; They have to be careful not to give Tottenham a chance to penetrate and hit behind their defence
At the beginning of the game, AC Milan did not dare to press up and grab, Allegri obviously also deliberately suppressed the midfielder players, but as the game progressed, as the dullness gradually progressed, the AC Milan players gradually lacked patience.
Boateng played as a central striker in order to strengthen the pressing and pressing of the front, but now he was allowed to retract and let Tottenham Hotspur's central midfield control the ball, which he could not accept, so he gradually expanded his range of activities.
As soon as the Ghanaians moved, Niang and El Shaarawy followed suit, as the three players interacted and had to act in unison to put pressure on Tottenham's midfield.
Allegri also saw that on the sidelines, but his attitude was laissez-faire.
It's like a couple in a cold war, lying on the same bed, but back to back, no one cares about anyone, what should I do?
There has to be someone who tries it first, or opens up first, or pretends to accidentally touch the other person, and tries it, right? If the other party also softens his attitude, then the one who pushes the boat will be reconciled directly
What Allegri is doing now is to test Tottenham's attitude, who made him unlucky enough to give Tottenham an away goal at home?
AC Milan took the initiative to take this step, and the scene immediately came alive, with both sides starting to have a real attacking idea, and the tempo began to pick up, especially in the Rossoneri's midfield.
Ye Qiu turned his head sideways, looked at the time on the scoreboard on the White Hart Lane Stadium, and shook his head, "It's only twenty-three minutes"
Mauro Tasotti on the side also had a wry smile on his face, he is from AC Milan and has feelings for this team, but he is now an assistant coach of Tottenham Hotspur and understands Ye Qiu's overall plan, so he knows very well that Allegri's temptation has little effect, and will only expose his hole cards and weaknesses in front of Ye Qiu
"If it were me, I would have to wait at least another fifteen minutes" Mauro Tasotti wanted a strong attack in the last part of the first half and then keep the attack straight until the end of the first half.
Ye Qiu also thought so, if the situation continued to be so deadlocked, he would give the order to attack after thirty-five minutes.
"Perhaps, he can't control the player's impatience," Ye Qiu sighed.
Mauro Tasotti nodded, sometimes the head coach may be more sensible and more able to understand what is born on the field, but the problem is that you are standing on the sidelines and watching, but the game is for the players in the stadium to play, if the players in the stadium become impatient, you can't control it, and you can only push the boat.
Sometimes there really isn't much a manager can do, it's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation.
AC Milan pressed up, but Ye Qiu didn't rush to move, now it's like a test or two, if you react now, Allegri immediately retracts, so Tottenham Hotspur can't move now, and you have to continue to adhere to the steady dìng tactics, let AC Milan taste some sweetness, and come up a little more, so that the problem is more obvious.
Soon, Montolivo's through ball found Shaarawy, but because of the lack of strength in the attacking echelon, especially the full-backs did not dare to press up, the guide Zì Shaarawy was cut off by Thiago Silva after dribbling the ball in front, and missed a chance to get the ball into the 30-meter area of Tottenham Hotspur.
But Tottenham Hotspur soon came to life, Ye Qiu noticed one point, that is, when AC Milan's front court pressed up, the back line dragged behind, and the area covered by the midfield became very large, and at this time Flamini needed to cover the entire right side and the middle to help defend Ambrosini.
In other words, he wants to work alone with two people, covering the entire right half of the field.
Tottenham Hotspur quickly made an attack from the left, Marcelo dribbled across the half-court and passed to Ramsey, who then passed to Cavani, who retreated from the front, while the Uruguayan kept passing the ball to the left and gave Marcelo who was plugged in quickly.
Because Flamini saw Cavani retreating, he wanted to help defend Ambrosini, the left side was empty, Marcelo received the ball and hit the area where Abate was located, pulled the Italian right-back out, and then passed the ball to Ribery who cut into the box from the left rib, but the ball was not very good, Zapata cleared the ball early.
Ribery sprinted in vain, but turned back and gave a thumbs up to Marcelo, and Tottenham Hotspur worked well this time around, but the timing of the final pass was a little poor.
But soon, with the first time, Tottenham Hotspur soon came to the second time, after all, possession was in the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, they could attack as much as they wanted, and this time, Tottenham Hotspur carried out more thoroughly and resolutely
