Chapter 19 Playing cards out of common sense?
In the next few days, the tactical training of the entire AC Milan team was carried out according to Pan Yi's arrangement.
During this period, Pan Yi and Allegri also went to talk to Ibrahimovic.
Of course, it's about having him as a substitute in the Super Cup.
After all, Ibrahimovic is the core of the team and the number one star, coupled with his straightforward personality, it is definitely better to talk to him about such things than to hide them.
To Pan Yi's slight surprise, Ibu readily accepted the proposal.
After all, it's Da Fengxian!
The Swedish Divine Tower is still very sensible, and the professionalism is not to be said.
Of course, Ibuken did this, on the one hand, because he did have a slight injury, and he couldn't fully heal on the day of the game, which would still affect his form.
On the other hand, Pan Yi's explanation of the tactics made Ibrahimovic feel very right, and he also felt that the new tactics could restrain Inter's midfield operation.
At the same time, this is also a sign that Pan Yi is increasingly recognized by players in the team.
So, get Ibu out of the way, and the rest will be easy.
On Saturday 6 August, the day of the match, the team had their final acclimatization training and Allegri unveiled his starting line-up for the evening.
This lineup came as a surprise to many.
Salah, Sadio Mane, Van Dijk, N'Golo Kante...... These young recruits all start.
You know, except for the first game of pre-season when they had the opportunity to start, there was no more.
Especially after the return of Pato, Robinho and Thiago Silva, they themselves have found it more difficult to play in the main team.
Especially Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
His current direct competitor is the team's biggest name and the highest-paid Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic, who is as strong as a lion, has never been able to get out of the firing line with minor injuries, and he will still try his best to fight in a game like this.
So for Aubameyang, it will obviously be more difficult to fight for a place in the main team than for others.
Therefore, when he heard that he was going to start, he couldn't help but be stunned.
After staying for dozens of seconds, he reacted, looking left and right at his teammates, trying to figure out if he had heard it wrong?
That was until Allegri pulled Aubameyang aside for individual guidance: "Tonight's game, pay attention to the retreat when attacking and open up space. When defending, you must press Samuel as soon as possible and don't let him pass the ball comfortably......"
At this time, Aubameyang woke up like a big dream and said excitedly: "Thank you coach for trusting me!" I'm going to do well today! Do your best to attack and defend! ”
Allegri smiled and patted Aubameyang's head: "It's good, but you can't be too high-minded, it's not good to eat cards too early." ”
Allegri did not specifically mention who proposed this lineup, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this set of 433 is obviously from Pan Yi's handwriting.
It's just that as a club, the coaching staff is a whole, and in a certain game, no matter which coach's opinion dominates, it must be the decision of the entire coaching staff that is finally presented to the players.
That way, whether you win or lose, you don't take specific credit or blame for a particular coach.
As for the outside world, since it is the head coach who finally makes the decision, the focus is naturally on Allegri, and Pan Yi can also experiment with the tactical play he learned from the system course more stresslessly, which can be regarded as an advantage.
After the training, Pan Yi also called the young players together to give a lecture and encouragement, and let them shout together to boost morale:
"Tonight is your first Super Cup and your first Milan derby, so be confident and win!"
"To win!"
"There's nothing to be afraid of Inter, no matter what opponent we face, we just have to fight!"
"Fight!"
"You have to prove to everyone that you deserve to start. Don't throw in the towel! ”
"Throw in the towel!"
……
8 p.m. sharp.
The Bird's Nest Stadium was packed, and countless fanatical Milan fans made the atmosphere of the stadium as if it were a World Cup final.
Inter Milan manager Gasperini, the future manager of Atalanta's hugely successful head, has always been an attacking man.
He also lined up the attacking 451 formation today:
Forward: Samuel Eto'o.
Midfielders: Sneijder, Stankovic, Motta, Alvarez, Obi.
Defenders: Zanetti, Samuel, Zivo, Ranocchia.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
AC Milan, on the other hand, is a 433 formation dominated by young players:
Forwards: Sadio Mane, Aubameyang, Salah.
Midfielders: N'Golo Kante, Gattuso, Boateng.
Defenders: Desiglio, Van Dijk, Thiago Silva, Abate.
Goalkeeper: Abbiati.
After seeing the starting lineups of both sides, CCTV5's commentator Duan Xuan was immediately surprised:
"There's nothing special about Inter's squad today, but AC Milan has so many young players?"
Today's commentator is Zhang Lu, who has been commenting on Serie A all year round.
He also said:
"It's a bit of a surprise indeed. This lineup is closer to Milan's starting role when they played Changzhou Hengtai, and today they were put directly on the stage of the Super Cup. ”
Duan Xuan: "With so many young substitutes, Milan is very bold today." Don't they want to win? I always felt that the last game against Guoan was the real main team of Milan. ”
Zhang Lu: "Maybe it was because of the loss to Guoan that Milan made such an adjustment today?" Or was the last game confusing the opponent? This may not be known until the start of the game. ”
Duan Xuan: "Is there such a possibility that Pan Yi, the assistant coach of our Dragon Kingdom, prompted Milan to make changes?" When playing Hengtai, Pan Yi was the acting head coach, so he used this lineup, right? ”
Zhang Lu: "Hey, hey......"
The commentator is guessing, and Inter Milan coach Gasperini is also a little confused.
What's going on?
Who are the three men in AC Milan's forward line?
Pato, Robinho didn't play, not even Ibrahimovic!
Who is the little black man who is less than 1.7 meters in the midfield?
AC Milan actually let such a young man take such an important position in the back!
Allegri still plays cards out of the ordinary?
This does not at all match Gasperini's impression of Allegri.
After all, Allegri is notorious for not liking rotation in official matches, and only playing one main lineup.
As long as no one is seriously injured, he doesn't make much changes to the lineup.
Therefore, Gasperini also made targeted arrangements for Allegri's main lineup before the game, such as how to watch Ibrahimovic, how to prevent Pato's breakthrough, and how to block Van Bommel's passing line......
But now that the opponent's lineup is out, it feels like it's all in vain!
No one is on it, where do you prevent him from going?
And just in the midst of the bewilderment of the Inter Milan coach and players, a whistle sounded from the referee's mouth.
The 2011 Italian Super Cup has begun!
