"If you're under a lot of pressure, Patton, I'll do it in the second half and I'll try to take on that pressure when I have a chance." Gasperini patted Chen Zhuo's shoulder and said with a smile.

This is a technique, Gasperini said this to relieve Chen Zhuo's nervousness, and it is equivalent to sending a message to Chen Zhuo, that is, as a head coach, Gasperini has a coping strategy, which will undoubtedly make Chen Zhuo feel at the bottom of his heart.

"I don't need to arrange it, oops, okay, okay, Coach Xiexie understands, I am indeed under a lot of pressure, it is okay when I play on the field, as soon as the whistle blows at halftime, I think that I don't have a suitable tactic in the second half, and suddenly I am very nervous......" Chen Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and replied with relief.

Gasperini smiled and said, "I can see that you have a lot of thoughts when you walk off the court, and you didn't hear you when I shouted you twice!" ”

When Chen Zhuo walked off the court, Gasperini originally wanted to shout to him to encourage him to play well in the first half, and to have another exchange by the way, but he didn't expect to find Chen Zhuo's nervousness and clarity inadvertently.

Scratching the back of his head, Chen Zhuo said embarrassedly: "The main thing is that I didn't expect Coach Allegri to give up using Xiao Luo, all of a sudden the rhythm and style of Milan have changed, and the analysis done a few days ago, as well as yesterday's targeted training, were all prepared in vain." ”

“haha！ How can you think of the problem like this, everything is dynamic, and no one can know what will happen in the next minute. Therefore, in addition to daily training and tactical deployment planning, the coach must also make timely adjustments to the changes that occur on the field! Gasperini said, pointing to the door of the dressing room and saying, "All right, let's go in!" ”

Basically, after chatting like this, Gasperini also understood Chen Zhuo's concerns, mainly because Allegri made a "strange move", which caught Chen Zhuo a little off guard, but when he heard it, Chen Zhuo was actually not afraid, and he didn't say how uncomfortable this style of play was. I didn't look for any objective reasons. Therefore, in fact, Chen Zhuo did not really want to give up.

Chen Zhuo opened the door to let Gasperini go in first, and when Gasperini stepped into the door with one foot, he turned his head and asked, "Patton." Think again. If you feel like you can handle the pressure. I still want the rest of my time in the locker room to be handed over to you, how's it going, are you ready? ”

watched Chen Zhuo follow him into the door. Gasperini smiled and said, "You, or me?" Now the choice is yours, and I still hope that you can overcome the pressure and stand on top! Of course, I'll count the time to get my thoughts and that of the coaching staff out there, okay? ”

Chen Zhuo slowly closed the door, took a deep breath, nodded to Gasperini, and said, "Coach Xiexie's encouragement, or I'll come!" I'm sure I can! ”

“Yes！ We all believe in you! Gasperini gave Chen Zhuo a hard push and told him to go to the tactical board.

"Thanks to the coach's encouragement, Milan has changed too much today, I feel a little uncomfortable, thank you Mr. Gasperini for the encouragement, otherwise I would have wanted to give up, hehe." Chen Zhuo said self-deprecatingly, as the opening remark.

"How could it be! Patton, we defended them very well in the first half, didn't you see that the Swedish big men were anxious to use their elbows later? Now it's them who are in a hurry! Guys, cheer up Patton! "Veteran captain Marco Rossi didn't play, but as the leader of the dressing room, his words still carry weight.

The players responded to Marco Rossi's words, applauding and expressing their high morale to Chen Zhuo, and the players who did not have the responsibility of tactical planning will be relatively relaxed, especially since the successful defense in the first half has triggered the "infighting" at the San Siro stadium, which makes them even more proud.

"Originally, Jihua was changed from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2 in the second half, and the top and side attacks were strengthened, but now the situation has changed slightly, and I want to ......make a slight adjustment," Chen Zhuo said as he laid out the adjusted lineup for the second half of the original Jihua on the tactical board.

Originally, Jihua was divided into three periods for personnel adjustments. At the end of the break, personnel adjustments were made, replacing right wing-back Tomovic, replacing left wing-back Krishitto, and changing to a three-center-back behind Karadze and Dainelli who were marked by Ranocchia, and Chen Zhuo removed the middle......

That's jihua, jihua's premise is to start according to the twin towers against Fiorentina, Marco Rossi plays the back, Chen Zhuo plays the left midfielder, due to the discovery that Xiao Luo is not in the starting list, Gasperini predicted the combination of Milan's "muscular man" and "can't run to death", has been changed to Crishitto in advance, Chen Zhuo replaced Marco Rossi to play the back, in the first half to be able to limit the "Ibrahimovic core" and successfully prevent Milan's attack, it is related to Gasperini's timely adjustment.

"My idea is that Tomovich will continue to play the tactics of double three defenders and double back midfielders according to the original Jihua, but the personnel ......will adjust it like this," Chen Zhuo took down the number plate symbolizing Tomovic on the tactical board, put Garson on the tactical board, and explained: "Ranocchia dragged back, Garson and Dainelli combined to play the marking central defender, as in the training match, Garson was responsible for sweeping after the double back closed, and Dainelli and Ranocchia helped him fill in the ......"

Gasperini nodded slightly, this adjustment is good, and there is a basis for cooperation in the training match, although it was only shiyan a few times in the training match before facing Fiorentina, Garsen's sense of grabbing points when playing a strong striker is used in this position to grab points and sweep destruction, and the effect is obviously good.

"In this way, Kaladze's position can be raised...... Chen Zhuo directly put the circular magnetic plate symbolizing Kaladze in the front court, that is, the position of the front midfielder or rib attacker, and said: "Kaladze and Vanney are here to grab Pirlo, of course, it is also for Kaladze to fight against Gattuso and Seedorf here, Kaha is more familiar with their jishu characteristics." ”

Karazek stood up and said with a smile: "No problem! Patton。 You should have asked me to knock Seedorf down first, this old guy just can't play the whole game without me! ”

"Yes, Kaha, one more thing, you plug in here, Vanney retreats here, once the steal is made, the distance that Vanney can run to participate in the attack is reduced by 10 meters, and Kaha is reduced by more than 30 meters, which allows us to save energy more!" Chen Zhuo said.

Looking at his watch, Gasperini whispered a few words to the assistant coach. "I agree with Patton's tactical set-up. I'm going to arrange for the fourth official to make a substitution declaration now, Patton, and then I'll get to the point, there's only 6 minutes to rest! ”

At the start of the second half, AC Milan did not make any changes in personnel. But in the standing position. Gattuso and Seedorf took their positions and advanced in front of Pirlo. It's like the position of AC Milan analysed by Gasperini before the start of the game.

Allegri also sees the changes in Genoa. He knew very well in his heart that according to the agreement between Milan and Genoa. In the second half, Genoa's "executive coach" was Chen Zhuo, who arranged Garson to a sweeping marking central defender, and brought Kaladze to the front court to block and steal Pirlo, which were all adjustments made by Chen Zhuo! The whole thing looks like it's still very targeted.

Allegri basically has a judgment on Chen Zhuo's thoughts, which is not to force the rhythm of three points, but to try to draw AC Milan away from home by strengthening the defense!

Throughout the first half, Genoa couldn't play due to the wing-flying tactics of fullbacks, and their twin tower tactics didn't actually play a role, and Vanney was more like the position when he played "double libero" with Chen Zhuo when he was in Hamburg, and there was no side transmission of cannonballs, and Lucatoni's power was also greatly reduced.

If nothing else, Lucatoni will be replaced in the 15th to 20th minutes of the second half, and Ruud van Nistelrooy will also be replaced in the 70th to 80th minutes.

However, Chen Zhuo's tactics were already within Allegri's expectations, he didn't necessarily have to care about the details of Garson and Kaladze's change, he only needed to know that Genoa would strengthen Pirlo's pressing and Ibrahimovic's defense, and it was enough for him to make targeted adjustments.

After about 10 minutes of the second half, Pirlo didn't touch the ball, AC Milan's offensive and defensive planning was changed to two wings, Antonini and Abate, they received a pass from Nesta or Silva, and passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, Ibrahimovic no longer remembered to go to Chen Zhuo, but protected the ball and passed back to Boateng and Robinho, at this time Gattuso and Seedorf had stepped forward to respond, forcing Kaladze and Vanney to retreat to participate in the defense.

Pirlo didn't get the ball, but he kept Kaladze from running back and forth, and Vanney didn't have to be involved in defending Ibrahimovic and Robinho, but his distance didn't diminish in the slightest.

After AC Milan adjusted its position in this way, Lucatoni, who had been holding back the opponent's two central defenders, was also under the command of Chen Zhuo, retreated and stood near Pirlo when defending, and ran in front of and behind Nesta and Silva when attacking, compared with the first half, Lucatoni's running was also mobilized by Milan!

The front double midfielders and two layers of three defenders are difficult to penetrate all at once, and under Allegri's gestures, Milan's attacking system is more likely to split the ball to the two wings.

In the same way that Genoa beat Parma and Fiorentina, Abate and Antonini cut in frequently, Boateng and Robinho pulled more wide-ranging on both flanks, Gattuso and Seedorf had pressed past the midfield, and the entire Milan attacking system pushed Crishitto and Raphinha to the back step by step.

In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Milan had 75% of the time on the ball, accounting for an overwhelming three-quarters of the time, and Genoa's passivity was evident.

AC Milan is worthy of being a European giant, when it has nothing to do with them, people always point fingers at the giant teams, but when Hong Kong fans watch this game with a handful of sweat for Genoa, every time AC Milan attacks, they will be shocked into a cold sweat!

In the 15th minute of the second half, Genoa made a second substitution, Lucatoni came off the field, replaced the "central defender killer" Chikhao who can attack and defend well, and replaced Garson as a marking central defender with Chikao, so that Kaladze and Garson strengthened the defense of the left and right wings respectively, and the whole formation became 5-4-1, leaving only Vanney alone to withstand Pirlo's position, both offensive and defensive.

Basically, Genoa has been compressed into a turtle shell by AC Milan, and except for Vanney, the rest of the players on the field have been compressed into their own half.

Chen Zhuo's two substitutions in the second half were both offensive "foreshadowing", but as Milan strengthened the ball control time through further running and pressing play, whether it was Garson or Chikao, they were just tired of defense and couldn't attack half the court at all!

As the situation for AC Milan improved, the San Siro home fans were not as impulsive as they were in the first half, and they began to cheer for every attack of Milan and began to sing the majestic Milan battle song again.

In the 30th minute of the second half of the game, and the 75th minute of the whole game, the Genoa team replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy with Jihua, put Garson on the forward line, and replaced Zukunic, continuing to strengthen the defense on the side, but also continuing to retain the offensive "foreshadowing", of course, this is also Genoa's Zuihou card.

When all the substitutions in Genoa were used up, Allegri began to make a move!

A dead ball about 3 minutes after Genoa's substitution, that is, in the 78th minute of the game, AC Milan made the first personnel adjustment of the game, replacing the veteran Seedorf, but it was replaced by the old Inzaghi who was better than Seedorf, for the 37-year-old former pass, the San Siro Stadium resounded with enthusiastic cheers, and even the Genoese fans in the away stands couldn't help but follow the home fans to give a standing ovation to Inzaghi.

The live TV camera is also looking for familiar faces on the field, and Baggio, who wears sunglasses and a mustache, also brings the Hong Kong football team to a standing ovation, which has transcended the team and borders, and is a kind of heartfelt respect in football.

A number is played at the bottom of the live TV screen, so far statistics, AC Milan's possession rate has reached 78%, Genoa's possession rate is only a pitiful 22%, after the start of the second half, Milan has a total of 6 corners and 3 free kicks in front, 11 shots on goal 5 on target, and the opponent Genoa team These statistics are shocking 0.

"It's useless to have beautiful data, it's a football game, it's the score that ultimately determines the outcome and the honor, and Zuihou 12 minutes, Allegri is far from proving his tactical success, that is, one goal is missing, just one!" Giradiza, known as the "poisonous tongue", is also pertinent.

Allegri's abandonment of Xiao Luo and Pato's running tactics around the core of Ibrahimovic has a very obvious advantage from the field, but as Giradiza said, this is football, and it is the score that ultimately determines victory or defeat! (To be continued......)
