The reason why I have to add a helpless "forget it" in front of it is because Gasperini understands that although this set of twin towers tactics has a significant effect against Fiorentina, it is not necessarily the most suitable tactic to use the same tactics against AC Milan.

"What do you think, Patton?" Gasperini asked Chen Zhuo to participate in the tactical design meeting of the coaching staff this time, and left Chen Zhuo after the meeting to communicate with him alone.

Chen Zhuo said honestly: "In terms of strength, the gap between Genoa and AC Milan is not small, in fact, there is no set of tactics that is a panacea that can ensure that we defeat Milan." ”

"If you were in charge of this game, what would you do? You didn't talk much at today's meeting, why are you so silent today when you were an executive coach in Hamburg? Gasperini asked.

Chen Zhuo scratched his head and said: "I think that against AC Milan, I don't know how you will arrange it, and I don't know if it's good to say more......"

“haha！” Gasperini smiled and said, "You guy, obviously overthinking!" Patton, the relationship between Milan and Genoa is indeed a bit complicated, but you just need to know that on a legal level, the two clubs are completely independent and there is no economic and equity entanglement, do you understand? ”

Chen Zhuo didn't react, he wanted to explain, but in fact he didn't understand.

"Actually, Italian clubs are only divided into clubs with strong financial strength, clubs with average financial strength, and clubs with weak financial strength. It's so divided, the teams in the first division are just a part of the whole club system that floats on the water, there is a proverb that two-thirds of the iceberg is underwater, understand? "After all, Gasperini is the general manager of Genoa, not just the manager of the first team, and he has a broader vision, but of course because he has more information.

"So, I get the idea. Genoa is basically one of the average financial strengths. Not strong but not particularly weak, of all the clubs, Genoa will not only be in the first team if they want to be in the first group in Europe. There is also the youth training system and the commercial operation aspect. Which big clubs are going to be obtained. The support of those wealthy families, at least not in direct confrontation with them in terms of interests! Chen Zhuo tried to say according to his own understanding.

“Yes!” Gasperini smiled: "You understand well and express yourself very well. The youth training system, business operations, including the scouting system and mutual assistance in policy, all cooperate, in fact, Genoa's sworn enemy, only Sampdoria one, because of the same city, the resources in the city are either/or, for other big clubs, including Milan, Inter, Juventus, Roma, in fact, the Genoa team has cooperated with them, but with Berlusconi more cooperation. ”

Chen Zhuo nodded, that's right, Genoa's team not only has players on loan from AC Milan, but also players on loan from Inter Milan and Juventus, and many Genoa players have also transferred to Inter Milan and Juventus, not all of them went to AC Milan, probably that AC Milan has "priority".

"I'm talking to you so much, Patton, I hope you can dispel your worries, according to my requirements, first, don't get injured because of too much movement, and second, don't be tied up because you think too much, understand?" Gasperini actually established mutual trust and communication with Chen Zhuo through conversation, so as not to let Chen Zhuo have a pimple in his heart.

"Understood, Coach!" Chen Zhuo replied with a solemn nod.

Gasperini got up and patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder and said: "In the game against AC Milan on Sunday, the first half is set as a two-tower strategy, and the time in the second half, I want to hand it over to you, tomorrow we will practice the two-tower strategy, you can talk to me about your tactical ideas after training tomorrow, you think about it yourself, and let Baggio give you some advice!" ”

Gasperini's attitude is very clear, against Milan, it is a live-fire exercise, in the case of ensuring that both sides are not injured and try to get as few cards as possible, do not deliberately think about the ball must be handed, but from the perspective of defeating the opponent, this task of designing strangulation tactics for the opponent's weaknesses was handed over to Chen Zhuo, which is also a kind of exercise.

"Use me to give you advice! Didn't you already beat Milan in the warm-up matches? Baggio said with a smile: "Besides, a team like Milan has long been thoroughly studied by everyone, you look for those football magazines in Europe, there are many articles about analyzing Milan's weaknesses every year, and they are all very reasonable!" ”

Chen Zhuo knows all these situations, and the so-called tree is a big move, which is also the truth. In addition to the published information, Spanwitz also helped to sort it out, and as well as the data analysis done by the Jishu department of Panwitz, Chen Zhuo had a very comprehensive information about Milan.

Because the game against AC Milan Gasperini was not characterized as a battle of life and death and a battle of ambition, so on the second day of the victory over Fiorentina, Gasperini gave the team a holiday as usual, and pulled Chen Zhuo to participate in the coaching staff tactical discussion meeting for more than an hour.

"In general, Milan ......" Chen Zhuo habitually picked up a pen and paper, wanting to discuss with Baggio, but was stopped by Baggio.

"Talk to me about it alone! I heard you call and say that I came to report today, I changed the afternoon training time to the evening, and the afternoon time is reserved for you! Baggio said with a smile: "This afternoon's tactical analysis class, you will have it with the players, you can use Chinese, so that the communication is more convenient!" ”

While speaking, Baggio pushed Chen Zhuo and said, "Let's go, why are you stunned, the players and assistant coaches are waiting for you in the conference room!" My jihua is like this, you will openly explain your tactical ideas against Milan with the players in the afternoon, I will ask questions and communicate with the assistant coaches at any time, and tomorrow when you go to Genoa for training, I will ask the players to take notes and repeat your explanation today. At the same time......"

As he spoke. Baggio had already led Chen Zhuo to the door of the conference room, grasping the doorknob with one hand, Baggio turned his head to Chen Zhuo and said: "Patton, this is just a rare opportunity for tactical exchanges, what you explained today will be used in the game in a few days, and when the players watched the game on the spot that day, they already knew your tactical arrangement in advance, and they will watch carefully in the stands, how did you complete the tactical execution." I believe. It's going to be very rewarding for them! ”

Chen Zhuo nodded, Baggio is really very attentive to improving the tactical literacy of the players of the Hong Kong team as soon as possible!

Baggio finished and pushed the door open. The players who were already waiting in the room saw Chen Zhuo walk in. All cheered and whistled excitedly. Everyone applauded warmly, and ran over to shake hands and hug Chen Zhuo.

Baggio smiled and walked to the front of the tactical hanging board to help Chen Zhuo check the writing instrument and microphone, this atmosphere was deliberately created by Baggio for Chen Zhuo. Creating a "Chen core" in the Hong Kong team is also an important step in Baggio's overall job opportunity, and many of the on-court conductors, he needs the help of the captain on the field to break down and execute.

"Thank you! I'm so glad that Yung Ah Ping, Xie Jiaqiang, Lin Zhijian, and Bobby Wood, I thought I wouldn't see you until next Monday! Chen Zhuo stood in front of the tactical board and pointed to the three Chinese players who had come from the Netherlands, England and Germany to report.

"Boss, we all came to you to learn 'Victoria Roundabout', it's so handsome! The NO.1 of this week's European best goal selection is certain! Poppy said two days ago that he would consider it, and he called in the middle of the night after watching your game yesterday, so I changed my ticket to be on the same flight as him! "The Hamburg reserve team is more familiar with Garson, and Lin Zhijian, who also has a relationship with Chen Zhuo, said.

"Chen sir, I still have a game on Saturday, and I have to rush back tomorrow, I came this time, in addition to learning 'Victoria Roundabout' with you, I also want your signed photo, preferably a photo of you running naked......" Bobbiby Wood also got up and said, his arrival was the most unexpected for Chen Zhuo, he was born in Hawaii and now does not have permanent residency in Hong Kong, because Bobbiwood's parents are not Hong Kongers, he only has one-eighth Chinese ancestry, so he is not as easy as Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang to apply for permanent residency, Even Yung Ah Ping's application for permanent residency in Hong Kong is easier than him, after all, they are all one-half Chinese ancestry.

Therefore, the Bobbiwood Asian Games in Munich 1860 will definitely not be able to participate, and it is not necessary that next year's Asian Cup can be named, the Hong Kong Football Association has declared a special approval for Garson, and then take a special channel, the Hong Kong Immigration Bureau will complain to the Legislative Council, after all, Hong Kong is a society governed by law, not a privileged society like the Celestial Empire, oh I'm sorry, a characteristic society, socialism with Chinese characteristics, no matter what, there is a special word.

The Hong Kong team is dominated by players under the age of 23, the same team that won the East Asian Games 3-0 last year, and the players are all young and quickly get acquainted with these Chinese players.

Let the lively atmosphere last for half a minute, Baggio got up and made gestures to keep the players quiet, helped Chen Zhuo maintain order, and told the players that Chen Zhuo was going to reveal the tactical arrangement of Genoa against AC Milan on Sunday in advance, and then put forward his own requirements, and the players quickly concentrated, prepared paper and pen, and listened carefully to Chen Zhuo's explanation.

After the tactical explanation in the afternoon, Chen Zhuo also participated in the evening training, this joint training time is a total of 3 hours, it is still the no-ball training content of the Hong Kong training camp, Baggio arranged for Chen Zhuo to only participate in technical exercises, not physical exercises, after all, Chen Zhuo has just participated in a high-intensity game, or don't disrupt his training in Genoa.

In addition to the technical practice without the ball, Baggio also arranged 1 hour to do training with the ball, which is the defense system of "double three defenders and double backs" suggested by Chen Zhuo, double marking central defenders plus a scavenger, Baggio grouped the defenders, and the midfielders attacked them with the ball to defend according to this defense system, how to stand, how to run, how to fill the position, which also shows that Baggio has officially decided to adopt this defense system in the Hong Kong team.

"Over the years, Milan has had two major weaknesses, the first is in the back four, there will be gaps between the full-backs and the central defenders due to the wing pull and the middle of the containment, especially when the Milan team's full-backs assist out, using speed to attack Milan's weakness is a tactical ...... that Serie A teams and European opponents have been using," Chen Zhuo said.

This is Saturday Genoa training tactical preparation class, Gasperini asked Chen Zhuo to talk about his "second half" tactics, against AC Milan, Gasperini told his own thinking, the first half of the "twin towers" to strive to score but to maintain a clean sheet as the premise, the second half of the time was completely handed over to Chen Zhuo, Marco Rossi with Chen Zhuo to command and arrange on the field.

Chen Zhuo continued: "The second weakness is Pirlo, the premise of being able to create a wide breakthrough is to block Milan's attack in the midfield, and then counterattack quickly while Milan's defense is not stable, which requires destroying Milan's possession." Snatching Pirlo is a theory that all opponents know. ”

It's not complicated to say, all the teams against Milan this season are adopting, in previous seasons, Pirlo's state was at its peak, Milan's overall cooperation with haode, the tactics of rushing Pirlo did not work, but in these two seasons, Pirlo's physical fitness and state declined, and he couldn't play if he was entangled more, and he was often stared at by the opponent, and the cooperation of his teammates was also slightly insufficient. But Pirlo's control of the game is clearly declining.

"In the second half, I suggested replacing the 'twin towers' with a 'single support point' and letting Garson and Scully snatch Pirlo in the ribs of the front court when defending! Then, when attacking, he used the speed of Cristo and Raphinha to attack Milan's wide gaps, and created ......chances for Garson and Scully through a 'single support point'," Chen Zhuo recounted.

After training on Friday, Chen Zhuo found Gasperini to report his tactical design, which was approved by Gasperini, but the time was too tight, and Chen Zhuo only had one day of targeted training. (To be continued......)
