Chapter 46: Boos in the sky

However, although Conte wants to give Pan Yi some color, in fact, the current Juventus is facing a dilemma.

Conte's lineup against Milan is to be based on defense and then counter-attack.

But now that they have conceded the goal, Juventus will have to press out and try to get the score back and then score more goals to win.

And if AC Milan starts to play counter-attacks, the efficiency is also amazing.

Their previous away games against Barcelona have shown it.

Milan have a number of young players up front, and if Juventus really dare to press hard, then the Milan coaching staff will definitely beat Conte in the way he does best.

Fortunately, it's only the first half and there's still a lot of time.

Conte decided to make some adjustments in the second half.

Therefore, Conte did not let the disciples immediately start attacking with all their might, that would be too risky.

If Milan steals another one and the score is further expanded, this game will be even more unplayable.

As a result, the last ten minutes of the first half were spent in a relatively dull stalemate.

Milan led Juventus 1-0 at half-time.

……

"Well done!"

"Good kick!"

"Keep it up!"

In the dressing room in Milan, the coaches high-fived and encouraged the players who walked in.

In such an important game, it is very necessary to maintain the morale of the players and give them the necessary appreciation and encouragement.

Especially when you're ahead, tell them not to be proud and play the second half as best you can.

Once everyone was in the locker room, Allegri walked over to the tactical board:

"Guys, we're ahead of Juventus away from home. All we have to do is keep that lead until the end and take the three points back to Milan! ”

"Yes!" The manager's words were immediately met with a positive response from all the players.

Although they were all out of breath after a half-time struggle, the leading result also made them all very excited and full of fighting spirit.

What's more, they are now very confident in the tactics that the coaching staff has devised them.

The first half was almost exactly what the coach told them before the game.

In the end, Milan also seized the opponent's loophole and scored a crucial goal using the routine cooperation in training.

In the hearts of many players, the arrangement of the coaching staff is simply divine!

Allegri went on to say:

"In the second half, Juventus will definitely step up their attack. And the first thing we have to do, of course, is to defend. As long as we don't concede a goal, we can win. ”

'As you can imagine, the second half will be more difficult than the first. You can feel that this Juventus team is very strong and when they attack with all their might, the pressure on us will be great. ”

"But tonight we will tell Juve, tell all the fans in the Juventus Arena that we can withstand this pressure, we are stronger than Juve!"

Seeing the players nodding their heads, Allegri's gaze swept to Pan Yi and Tasotti again:

"Do you have anything to add?"

Pan Yi was not polite, and took a step forward:

'We used a lot of energy in the first half of their midfield, but at the same time we were very much of a drain. Your gasps have told me that. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Pan Yi said: "So in the second half, we need to take the initiative to recycle a little, and while compressing the opponent's space, we must be careful not to waste too much physical energy." We did a good job against Barcelona against that. ”

'I have the feeling that Conte will change his formation. He could move Giorgio Chiellini to left-back and then move up striker in a 433 formation. It's also the formation he often uses when he needs to attack. ”

"So when they're attacking, the holes in the middle are magnified. I ask everyone to be on the defensive and look for such holes. Since our threatening attacks in the first half were actually launched from the wings, Juventus should have paid attention to our wings in the second half, so we did the opposite and really attacked their middle! ”

'In the end, every minute of the second half was a very tough test for us. I also believe that you are all ready to beat Juventus and let them eat the tail gas behind us! ”

As Pan Yi finished speaking, a roar sounded in the locker room.

This is the roar of the soldiers of Milan, vowing to victory!

……

However, at the start of the second half, Conte did not change his line immediately.

It's still the same lineup at half-time, and he wants to test Milan's tactics again.

Obviously Milan has changed.

They no longer fought with Juventus in midfield, but took the initiative to recycle the formation and put on a steady counterattack.

In other words, if a strong team shrinks its defense and swings the bus, it will probably be criticized by opponents, media, and even its own fans.

But in Italy, there is no such problem.

Defence itself is the foundation of Italian football in world football.

When AC Milan created a 58-game unbeaten run, they also relied on defense.

As long as you can win, then 1:0 is enough, this is the philosophy of Italian football.

So in the face of such a scene, Conte, who started with grasping defense, of course, will not think about cursing the opponent for not talking about martial arts, but is ready to start adjusting his tactics.

Just five minutes into the second half, in the 50th minute, Conte made his first substitution.

Left midfielder Decheli comes down and striker Matri comes up.

Decheli was restrained everywhere in this game, playing timidly and playing really average.

Now Antonio Conte replaced him and then brought on a striker, with Chiellini moving from left centre-back to left wing-back and then right midfielder Lichtsteiner dropping back to right-back.

As Pan Yi predicted at halftime, Juve formed a new 433 formation.

Matri is 183 tall, although he is not particularly tall, but he is physically strong and has good speed and shooting ability, which can greatly enhance Juve's explosive ability in the front court.

Milan, on the other hand, stood still.

The reason is very simple, if compared with the three midfielders of Barcelona, Juventus is a combination of two sappers and a brain, and the creativity is far inferior to Habaib.

With Milan laying such a tight net, it was difficult for Juventus to get the ball through midfield and comfortably to the striker's feet, making it difficult to create a dangerous shot.

As a result, Conte's adjustment has not improved in the slightest after 20 minutes.

So, when the game reached 70 minutes, Conte made another substitution.

Pato down, Tony on!

It is worth noting that when Pato left the field, the Juventus Arena was booed......
