Chapter 10: The Great War Is Imminent

When the four members of Pan Yi's family entered the door of Milanello, Pan Ying's eyes became more and more wrong.

Although she majored in English, she also knows a little bit about Italian.

Moreover, she also knows the Milan team logo that can be seen everywhere here!

"Brother...... I really think I'm wrong about you. Pan Ying looked at Pan Yi, "You are much more promising than I thought." ”

Pan Yi laughed: "It's not!" If you are lost, you can teach! ”

But Pan Ying immediately timidly put her mouth to Pan Yi's ear and asked, "Are you ...... Are you a duck who specializes in serving professional players? ”

"Ahh Pan Yi flew over, but was dodged by Pan Ying with a giggle.

In the middle of the fight, they had already arrived at the door of the hotel.

Tasotti was standing there in civilian clothes.

"Hello." Tasotti greeted Pan Yi's parents politely.

He spoke English.

He is 51 years old this year, and he is the same age as Pan Yi's parents, so he doesn't need any special title.

"Hello. This is ......" The father also nodded to Tassoti, and then turned to Pan Yi, signaling to introduce him.

Both father and mother also have some simple English.

But soon, the father turned back to look at Tassoti: "Hey, you are...... You are...... Tasotti? ”

As a player, Tasotti played 17 seasons for AC Milan, helping them win five Serie A titles and three Champions Leagues before retiring in 1996, and his father, a longtime football fan, apparently recognized him.

"Who is Tassotti?" Pan Ying looked confused.

Fans of the younger generation like her naturally don't know the old players.

"He's my partner and we're both assistant coaches for the team." Pan Yi said with a smile.

"It's really a coach! I'm relieved. Pan Ying jumped up, "Which echelon is it?" U20? U18? Or is it a reserve? It's amazing that you're actually a coach in Milan!! ”

Tassotti looked at her curiously: "It's the Milan first team." Hey, didn't Pan Yi tell you? ”

"First team??" Father, mother, and Pan Ying were all stunned for a while.

After a few seconds, Pan Ying burst out with a loud shout: "Wow! AC Milan first team!! You've joined the real Milan! ”

Tassotti was stunned by the roar, and passers-by looked curiously this way.

Pan Yi patted Pan Ying's head proudly: "Look at your great cleverness, now you finally know what I do!" ”

……

After settling his family, head coach Allegri took the coaching staff to Milanello's first-team training ground.

Most of the first-team players have returned to the training base.

In addition to the players from Brazil: Thiago Silva, Robinho, and Pato.

They are in Argentina for the 2011 Copa America tournament held there.

If nothing else, they won't be back until August, when the club will let them fly straight to the Dragons to join the team – provided Robinho and Pato haven't been sold by Galliani by then.

Once the personnel were assembled, Allegri began his first training session of the new season and then introduced the coaching staff to the players.

Every season, there are people leaving the club and people joining, whether it's players or coaches.

So Pan Yi doesn't seem very special here, but when Allegri introduces him as the new assistant coach, some of the veteran players will look at him a few more times because of his young eastern face.

After the introduction, Allegri asked the first-team coaches to take the players to do some simple warm-up and training.

He called Pan Yi and Tassoti aside:

"We're going to play a game right away."

Pan Yi and Tasotti glanced at each other and did not speak.

Allegri went on to say:

"On the one hand, it's about getting the players back into game shape as quickly as possible."

'On the other hand, of course, the focus is today, looking at a couple of players who came on trial today and our Academy players.

'If they can stay up against our first-team players, then there is a chance of a signing.

"The two of you each have a team, and as for how to divide the lineup, you can discuss it yourself. The game time should not be too long, 30 minutes at halftime. ”

With that, Allegri went to the training ground.

Tasotti looked at Pan Yi with a smile: "You pick people first, so as not to say that I am bullying newcomers." ”

Pan Yi nodded: "Okay." Those four tryouts and two Academy players were what I asked for, and of course they were all in my squad. ”

Tassotti nodded. This proposal is not at all unexpected.

He said: "Of these six players, apart from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, none of them have played in the real top flight, and some of them are not even professionals...... Then you can pick the other five in our main force, so that the strength of the two sides is more balanced. ”

But what I didn't expect was that the next names that popped out of Pan Yi's mouth were all substitutes:

"Goalkeeper, I'm going to ask for Ameria."

"There are four defenders, I already have Van Dijk and Desiglio, and then add Mexes and Antonini."

"There are three midfielders, and apart from N'Golo Kante, who came for the trial, I want Gattuso and Enumarsen."

"I don't want a striker, I'll bring my own."

Tasotti's eyes widened: "Are you serious?" With such a lineup, I'm going to blow it up. ”

Pan Yi smiled: "Then try it." Do you want us to make a bet that if I lose, I'll treat you to dinner today. And if you lose......"

Tassoti: "Shall I invite you to dinner?" ”

Pan Yi: "You invite my family to dinner!" ”

Tassotti: "......"

Pan Yi actually didn't deliberately pick from the bench.

Most of the people he picks are young, physical, and aggressive players, so that he can better execute his 433 frontcourt pressing tactics.

The only exception is Gattuso, who is 33 years old and past the peak of his career.

But who would doubt the momentum of this guy who looks like a butcher?

And Boateng in the main force actually meets Pan Yi's tactical requirements, he is young, physically strong, and has comprehensive skills, but he is a little undisciplined in tactics, so he was not selected.

Soon, Allegri announced the news of the detachment confrontation to everyone, and then Pan Yi and Tasotti each took their teams to the side to discuss tactics.

Tassotti side:

Forwards: Ibrahimovic, Cassano.

Midfielders: Seedorf, Ambrosini, Boateng, Van Bommel.

Defenders: Zambrotta, Nesta, Yepes, Abate.

Goalkeeper: Abbiati.

Pan Yi's side:

Forwards: Salah, Aubameyang, Mane.

Midfielders: N'Golo Kante, Gattuso, Enumalsen.

Defenders: Antonini, Van Dijk, Mex, Desiglio.

Goalkeeper: Ameria.

The "big war" is about to break out!
