Section 45 Wrap Attack

(a)

It was Inzaghi's second league appearance this season, with the first coming in the first round against promoted Malecce.

In that game, Inzaghi came on in the 88th minute and scored with his first touch of the ball to make it 4-0.

That goal also made Inzaghi the Serie A passer who has scored in 19 consecutive seasons, and these records are very difficult to surpass.

In this game, Inzaghi's first touch of the ball after his debut was almost a goal!

Looking back at that moment, it was a free kick from the left side of Milan's front, Antonini threw the free kick to Boateng, who stopped the ball again to Antonini, and then Antonini passed the ball to Gattuso, who did not stop and passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, who was closely watched by Chen Zhuo.

From the beginning of the second half, Ibrahimovic all kicked the ball, and no longer tried to stop the ball to get rid of and break through Chen Zhuo's actions, which was equivalent to the two people containing and canceling each other.

Under such a pair, Robinho and Boateng attacked and pressed Crishitto and Raphinha, Antonini and Abate frequently cut in, plus Gattuso and Seedorf took turns to insert, stirring up the entire defense line of Genoa!

78% possession, 6 corners and 3 free-kicks in front, 11 shots on goal with 5 on target, and the attack is in full swing!

However, as Milan TV commentator "The Bad Tongue" Giradiza commented, Robinho has fully demonstrated how good he is at wasting opportunities.

In terms of shooting accuracy and lethality on counter-attack, Robinho and Pato are indeed a little worse. There is no comparison with an efficient assassin like Inzaghi.

In this case, Allegri still insists on using him, and there is only one reason, and that is that he can run!

In the absence of Pirlo's precise transmission, the second half more than doubled the shooting opportunities in the first half, and that was won by Robinho by running desperately!

This time, Ibrahimovic didn't play the ball immediately after getting the ball, and the striker, who was almost frozen by Chen Zhuo, was dissatisfied with being prevented by a small person like Chen Zhuo to this extent, but he was not entangled with Chen Zhuo, but counter-contained him. That's what Allegri arranged at half-time. Ibu did not dare to disobey either.

At least in the first 30 minutes, he didn't dare to disobey, and now there are still more than ten minutes to go, and Ibu wants to break through Chen Zhuo once no matter what, otherwise he will always feel uncomfortable!

At least Ibrahimovic's original intention was to break through one-on-one. He takes the ball with his back, dribbles horizontally and then completes the turn. Shake from side to side. Chen Zhuo just kept his distance from him as if he was about to leave, and did not get off his feet easily.

In the midst of such a stalemate, Ibrahimovic spotted Boateng gesturing. Signaling that Inzaghi was in a good position, he gave up his entanglement with Chen Zhuo and knocked it to Boateng, who kicked straight into the ......

As mentioned earlier, this goal was just a close goal, and it was meritorious at the defensive end, officially Milan's pass, Caradze.

Inzaghi's position, his teammate for many years, Kaladze has been paying close attention, and at the same time as Inzaghi plugged in at high speed, Kaladze also started!

At the moment when Inzaghi got up, Karadze also made a flying shovel to destroy!

The ball was blocked by Kaladze and the two old guys fell into the Genoa goal together.

For this wonderful attack and defense, the fans at the scene also gave warm applause, especially when Inzaghi, who got up from the ground first, reached out to pull up his old teammate Kaladze, and the Milan fans also applauded and expressed their emotion for this scene.

(b)

Although the threat was eventually defused by Kaladze's excellent play and tenacious defense, Inzaghi's brilliant performance was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the entire Milan field!

When Pirlo sent this corner, almost all the Milan players stood in the Genoa penalty area, and their desire to score goals and win was particularly strong!

Gattuso, Silva and Nesta moved in small areas from the penalty spot to the six-yard box, each of them with Genoa players on their side.

Antonini, Boateng and Robinho weaved through the crowd, with Genoa players running back and forth.

Ibrahimovic and Chen Zhuo squeezed each other at the front point to fight for position, and Ibrahimovic, who was a head taller than Chen Zhuo, had a clear advantage in height, but Chen Zhuo, who had done confrontation exercises with Vanney for more than half a year, was obviously used to the confrontation with a tall man of more than 1.9 meters in set-piece defense, and both of them raised their arms and clinged to each other.

Before Pirlo sent the ball, Inzaghi stood lazily alone in the corner of the penalty area at the back post, and Kaladze stood next to him, and Inzaghi even smiled and said something to Kaladze, obviously to distract Kaladze.

This kind of little trick can't fool Kaladze, basically Inzaghi will start to tense his body when Pirlo is running, and start at the moment when Pirlo hits the ball, these routines Kaladze is too familiar!

Then it was Abate who was at the top of the arc of the penalty area ready to shoot, and also as the first interception point against Genoa's counterattack, he believed that his speed could deal with any quick Genoa counter-attacking player!

In the empty Milan half, goalkeeper Abbiati has already stood in the arc of his own penalty area, ready to attack decisively if Genoa breaks the ball and counterattacks.

(c)

Genoa's passivity in the entire second half was seen by Baggio, from Baggio's point of view, the three substitutions are some problems, although there are slight adjustments with Chen Zhuo's previous Jihua, but there is no reversal of the passive situation through substitutions, which shows that there is a problem with the entire tactical planning.

From Gasperini's point of view, he must also know that Chen Zhuo's tactical planning is a little inappropriate, but respecting the agreement between Milan and Genoa's high-level management is to give Chen Zhuo a chance to exercise, Gasperini did not help Chen Zhuo adjust, this kind of exercise is also very necessary, after all, Chen Zhuo has too little experience in Serie A and even the European League!

Baggio also felt the same way, in Chen Zhuo's official match. From the Bundesliga to Serie A, Chen Zhuo has played too little against European giants, so he doesn't know the real giants at all!

In the Bundesliga, in Baggio's view, the only one who can be regarded as a giant is Bayern Munich, Chen Zhuo was just a substitute player when he played against this team, which was completely different from the defensive core and half-time executive coach positioning in this game against Milan.

In addition to Bayern Munich, the other two teams that can be called "giants" Eindhoven and Anderlecht can only be regarded as "second-rate giants". There is quite a gap with AC Milan.

Other teams. Including their Fulham and Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals and finals of the Europa League, that is only the third-tier teams in the Premier League and the second-rate teams in La Liga, and the gap with the giants is even greater!

Although Genoa defeated Milan and Ligue 1 champions Marseille in the warm-up match, it was a warm-up match after all. That kind of game is all about grinding in the squad and exposing the problem. Those giants don't take the victory or defeat seriously.

Chen Zhuoyi mentioned Gasperini's arrangement. Baggio, who is very, very familiar with Serie A, immediately knew that this was the decision of the top management of Milan and Genoa, but Baggio did not make it clear to Chen Zhuo that there were some things. Sooner or later, he will figure it out himself.

Psychologically, they are not able to fully grasp the opponent, so it is inevitable that there will be problems in tactical planning.

Regardless of whether Chen Zhuo can lead Genoa to hold on to this draw in the end, the experience and lessons that today's game has brought him are valuable assets.

"Patton, you need to shout more, you need to organize! Command your crew! Gasperini took advantage of the break in the game to shout loudly to Chen Zhuo on the sidelines, and at the same time let the people who heard him shout pass the meaning to Chen Zhuo, because Chen Zhuo's attention was all on staring at Ibrahimovic, and he didn't pay attention to the coach shouting at him.

"Captain! Patton! The coach calls you and asks you to organize and command! Zucurini, who was standing in the door, reminded Chen Zhuo loudly, but Chen Zhuo still didn't seem to hear it.

From Gasperini's point of view, Chen Zhuo was too nervous in the second half, or he thought too much about himself, which led to his omission.

In this game, as a midfielder, Chen Zhuo can play 90 or even 95 points, in the successful marking and freezing of AC Milan's offensive core Ibrahimovic, Chen Zhuo performed very well, if Genoa wins this game, or even if it is just an away draw with Milan, Chen Zhuo will be the best player in this game.

But in today's game, Chen Zhuo is not just a midfielder, and the temporary adjustment before the game did not let the old captain Marcorosi play, so Chen Zhuo is the captain of Genoa today, and he is also the "executive coach" of Genoa in the second half.

The role of captain on the field, the warm-up match against Inter Milan was Chen Zhuo's most playful, Chen Zhuo commanded Ruoding throughout the game, allowing Genoa to gather around him, and broke out collectively under his organization and command, but today, Chen Zhuo's performance was obviously not as good as that game, which was also due to his too hard work in defense and against Ibrahimovic.

Not only is the role of the captain not playing well, but the role of "executive coach" Chen Zhuo also has omissions, the third substitution place In Gasperini's view, Chen Zhuo should definitely be replaced by the old captain Marco Rossi, when he no longer has the energy to command and dispatch the players on the field, he should find a helper for himself.

But in the end, Gasperini saw the gesture, Chen Zhuo didn't realize this, he still replaced Zucurini in the original jihua, reserved a "foreshadowing" for a quick counterattack, Gasperini hesitated for a moment and did not make corrections.

Chen Zhuo did not fully realize that the current passive situation was caused by his own poor organization and command, but just like his thoughts in the "simulated confrontation" before the game against Fiorentina, he was still not satisfied with a draw, and was unwilling to defend a draw when Zuihou was determined.

In Gasperini's eyes, the current Genoa formation is already a little messy, and Chen Zhuo has put all his energy into not letting Ibrahimovic score at this time, and he seems to be unable to care about the organization, command and coordination of the entire team.

(5)

In fact, even if Zuihou does not leave a substitution to Marco Rossi, it is not a particularly serious matter, there are still captain-level figures on the field in Genoa, Fiorentina old captain Dainelli has taken the initiative to call and shout to command Cristo and Raphinha who retreated to the back line, and Kaladze and Dainelli are also taking the initiative to coordinate with each other.

However, Veloso was not able to coordinate Garson and Zuculini very well, because his whole intention for Chen Zhuo was not particularly clear.

Zucurini and Garson's movements were still very positive, but now Genoa was passive throughout the game, and Chen Zhuo did not tell the players as clearly as in the game against Inter Milan whether to fight back or hold on, and the players in the midfield were not particularly clear as Veloso.

At the moment of Pirlo's pass, Ibrahimovic's arm was raised to try to pull Chen Zhuopao behind him, and Inzaghi at the far end also activated, and the entire Genoa penalty area was instantly disturbed by the seemingly chaotic running of the Milan players! (To be continued......)
