Of course, Conte just felt a little strange, but he didn't panic, and even a little snickering.

Thirty minutes into the game, AC Milan had put most of their forces in the middle of the midfield, except for the two opening wide attacks, to fight against the Juventus crowd.

This plays into Conte's heart.

His 3-back formation, the last thing he is afraid of is the middle, and what he values the most is also the middle.

No matter how much Milan tear up wide flanks or make a wide shift from left to right, Conte doesn't really care.

The only thing, the space at the edge of the penalty area, Milan can never think about it.

Judging from the current game, Conte feels that Milan's coaching staff should be having a hard time, right?

No matter how much they toss, Juventus is firmly in the middle of the formation, and the defensive space that extends out is even more difficult for Milan to penetrate.

In the first 30 minutes, all three of Milan's strikers had a reluctant attempt to shoot from distance on the edge of the box, but all of them were unsuccessful.

Conte couldn't help but glance at the visitors' bench.

I saw that the Milan coaching staff led by Allegri were sitting upright in their seats, expressionless.

"I guess they're having a headache right now, hehe." Conte smirked, "When you show your flaws, it's time for us to score." ”

His basic tactical idea of 352 is to base himself on a defensive formation, and then counterattack from defense to offense through the ability of the frontcourt forward.

In this style of play, the midfielders are more responsible for the defensive task, and the main role of the players in the attack is to find Pirlo and form an attacking organization through a short succession of shots.

When Andrea Pirlo found the striker through Milan's defensive gaps and with his accurate passes, Milan's goal was wide open.

……

At this moment, the situation on the field changed a little.

Milan's formation began to retreat a little bit, and the scramble seemed to become less ferocious.

Now Juve are also better able to hold the ball and organise their attacks.

Duan Xuan also explained: "Milan's opening three axes seem to have run out, but their offensive thunder and rain are small, and they don't create much threat. Director Zhang, do you think there is anything wrong with Milan's tactics this time? ”

Zhang Lu: "Milan's opening strategy looks like a failure. Instead of scoring a goal, they were caught in the defensive net that Juve had woven in the middle, which led to a significant drop in the fitness of the Milan players. Therefore, it is a helpless move for Milan to recycle the formation now, after all, no team can maintain a full game of pressing and pressing. ”

Duan Xuan: "Then do you think this will be the beginning of Juve's counteroffensive?" ”

Zhang Lu: "Yes, it is likely that Juventus will take advantage of the situation to attack. However, Milan has done a pretty good job of doing a good job. Despite the retreat, the overall formation remained quite level, the three lines remained compact, and the tactical execution of the players was in place, which speaks volumes about their usual high level of training. If Juve wants to break through the Milan defense, they still have to look at Pirlo's organization, hehe......"

Truly.

On the field now, whether it is Salah and Mane's pressing of the Juventus backline, or Kante's suppression of Bidal, it is difficult for Juventus' middle to play the ball and can only go to the side.

Lichtsteiner on the right side was also under the heavy care of Gattuso, and Juventus tried a few times, but it didn't work, and they had to hand the ball to Pirlo frequently.

At this point, Pirlo will actively move to the left to get the ball and then try to pass the ball to get rid of Milan's layers of defence.

This is also a routine that Juventus midfielders are used to.

Because Andrea Pirlo is not a player known for his physical or defensive ability, in order to make the most of his attacking ability, he has to avoid hand-to-hand combat with opponents.

Just like in the past, when he was in AC Milan or the Italian national team, Pirlo would have a Gattuso by his side.

Now that Gattuso is the enemy on the opposite side, and Vidal, who is doing the dirty work at Juventus, is pinned down again, Pirlo will habitually move to the side with fewer opponents to receive the ball and instigate attacks.

And now, Juve's left side is the most suitable position.

It's just that after 30 minutes of high-intensity midfield fighting, Pirlo has declined both physically and attentively.

Anyone who has ever played football knows that if you play a game and the fire burns evenly in every position on the pitch, you may play for a longer time;

But if you keep hard in your area, you'll soon be consumed until you can't lift your feet.

In the previous game, Milan's main attack area was Pirlo's location.

Pirlo is already a 31-year-old veteran this year, and in this case, it is not easy for him to do a good job in attack, so he can't expect him to make any special contribution in defense.

So when Andrea Pirlo is on the left, the defensive intensity on his side is bound to drop.

And this is the opportunity that Pan Yi has been waiting for.

I spent so much time making the stuffing in front of me just to make a good dumpling at this time!

……

At this time, Juve's right midfield position once again had a fierce scramble.

After receiving the ball, Lichtsteiner could only pass the ball to Vidal, who was close to him, when he was pressed by Gattuso at close quarters.

However, Vidal was also disturbed by N'Golo Kante behind him, so the Chilean midfielder chose not to stop the ball and knocked the ball directly to the left.

Pirlo, who was standing in the middle of the midfield, had already run over there to catch the ball.

But at this time, Milan defender Van Dijk, who was still a few meters behind Pirlo, suddenly went around and suddenly made a force, and took the first step to break the ball.

After the break, the Milan central defender did not pass the ball at the first time, but continued to take it forward.

Pirlo was supposed to return to his position after conceding the ball, but seeing Van Dijk carrying the ball forward, he could only continue to go over and counter-attack on the spot.

Juve's left midfielder, academy youngster Decelli knew that Pirlo's defensive ability was weak, so he also came to help Big Brother.

Van Dijk then held the ball with his back and passed it back to Thiago Silva.

And at this time, Juve's left side, that is, Milan's right side, has been emptied.

Thiago Silva, who has a good passing ability, was already a big shift, sending the ball to the unguarded Salah on the right.

Salah quickly dribbled the ball into the box!

Juventus' left-centre-back Giorgio Chiellini rushed over to defend and stood on Salah's inside-cutting line, ready to break the ball.

Whether it is Conte's pre-match advice to the defenders, or Chiellini's own experience in this game, as long as the two young wingers of Milan are prevented from cutting inside, the opponent will basically not be a threat.

But this time, Salah only made a gesture to take in, and then with a flick of his ankle, he gently pushed the ball to the outside, which is the direction of the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.

Immediately after, everyone saw a red-black figure, quickly plugging in along the right side.

It's Milan's right wing-back, Zambrotta!
