Chapter 78: The atmosphere is all here
Milan, Italy.
Milanello training base.
The AC Milan coaching staff is holding a meeting to give the players a final tactical briefing.
Allegri and Tassotti gave some defensive details first.
Especially to keep an eye on Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Ballon d'Or winner is now the peerless duo of today's football alongside Messi, and has also won two European Golden Boot awards, making him one of the sharpest knives in Real Madrid's attack.
At the technical level, Ronaldo has good flexibility, fast speed, powerful shooting, outstanding technique, and strong header ability;
Cristiano Ronaldo is synonymous with goals, so to speak.
As long as he is on the pitch, any action he makes when approaching the opposition penalty area can be converted into a goal.
Therefore, if you can prevent Ronaldo, you can make most of Real Madrid's attack group go out.
Allegri's defensive arrangement of Cristiano Ronaldo can also be described as meticulous.
For example, in the left winger position that Ronaldo often appears, how to let Abate mark closely, how to let Van Dijk follow closely, and so on.
Of course, no one else was missed.
Like Real Madrid's center forward Benzema, right winger Di Maria, and of course striker Kaka, they are all targets that need to be paid attention to.
Allegri also made targeted arrangements for them, telling the corresponding players to take care of cutting off their runs and passing lanes.
After talking about the personal defense of the Real Madrid stars, Allegri walked directly to the side and said to Pan Yi: "Come on." ”
Now the team's overall tactics, especially the offensive tactics, are basically handed over directly to Pan Yi.
Anyway, now the players also know that as long as there are some targeted tactics or new tricks that seem a little weird, they must be proposed by Pan Yi, so it is better to let him talk about it himself.
Pan Yi nodded, began to draw on the tactical board, and then said:
"This is Real Madrid's most commonly used 4231 formation this season, and it is also Mourinho's favourite formation."
"The biggest feature of this formation is their double back and single front midfield. Now their main lineup, the double back will generally use a combination of Alonso + Khedira, while the front midfielder is likely to use Kaka. ”
(Note: In fact, the main striker of Real Madrid during this period was someone else, but for some reason it was replaced by Kaka.) )
"This midfield, combined with their attacking trident, tightens the fence and plays our counter-attack...... To be honest, I feel a little overwhelmed. ”
As soon as these words came out, Allegri and Tasotti couldn't help but glance at Pan Yi.
What kind of medicine is this kid selling in the gourd today? Can't beat it?
However, Pan Yi immediately smiled at the Milan players who were also a little sluggish, and continued: "But fortunately, I think Mourinho is likely to play against us, so our opportunity has come." ”
Gattuso raised his hand: "I wonder how you know he's going to fight us?" Doesn't Mu Shuai often put buses? ”
Pan Yi said: "He may prefer to play defense, but he coaches Real Madrid. The pressure from the fans, the media and the hierarchy sometimes forced him to make some changes. ”
Pan Yi noticed that his recent war of words with Mourinho was already working.
The two mouthpieces of Real Madrid, Marca and As, have been building up a frenzy, and Real Madrid fans have issued a very strong cry for the team to not only win, but also win beautifully at the San Siro Stadium.
According to well-informed sources, Real Madrid president Florentino also called Mourinho.
Although the details of the call are not yet available, it should also be related to the match between Real Madrid and Milan.
After all, everyone thinks that since Real Madrid is the best club in the world, it should play as the best club.
In terms of playing style, it should not be conservative.
With stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria and Kaka, there's no reason to be afraid of any opponent.
Especially with a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, any manager should let him focus on attacking rather than pulling him back to defend.
That's a terrible thing!
Moreover, according to Pan Yi's understanding of Mourinho, even if the madman does not take the voice of the media fans seriously, in his heart, he hopes to refresh his "stereotype" in front of the world with a beautiful victory.
So, the atmosphere is set to this point, if the two sides don't come to fight against each other, are they still worthy of the audience?
In fact, in the last few La Liga games, Real Madrid has also played attacking football, and it seems that they are also preparing for this Champions League matchup.
"This is the most important point in Real Madrid's attacking system."
Pan Yi continued to explain the tactics and pointed his finger at the forward position on the tactical board.
"As the most well-understood and mature coach in today's football, Mourinho has been further developing the value of the midfielder."
"In the stage of having the ball, the forward midfielder can not only appropriately retreat to the midfield and double back to form a triangle midfield position to complete the positional offensive advancement, but also through lateral running to find the possible receiving line formed by the gap between the opponent's middle players to complete the center-back and forward line."
"Even when he receives the ball in the midfield area, he can develop a variety of options for handling the ball properly. For example, when there are no marked players around, you can use your ability to hold the ball and get rid of it and turn around and dribble the ball to advance in the middle. So, we have to limit their dribbling in the midfield......"
"And when we attack, we also have to pay attention to playing their front midfield, which is the point of Kaka......"
Pan Yi explained the tactics in detail, and everyone listened quietly.
Now every time he analyzes tactics, it is like a coaching class, which is very fascinating.
Especially professional coaches like Allegri and Tasotti feel new every time they listen to it.
And even more so for someone like Inzaghi who is preparing to retire as a coach.
After talking about tactics, Allegri and Pan Yi left last.
Allegri asked, "Pan Yi, I feel that you are very special. Whether it's against Barcelona or Real Madrid, I can't feel your nervousness. ”
"I'm not a player, what's there to be nervous about?" Pan Yi shrugged.
Most fears come from the unknown.
And because of the existence of the systematic course, Pan Yi knows every opponent well, how can he be nervous?
'Galliani told me that you want to leave after the season?' Allegri abruptly changed the subject.
"You know, I don't want to be an assistant coach all the time." Pan Yi smiled, "You don't want me to steal your position, do you?" ”
Allegri smiled as well.
Of course, he knew that Pan Yi had great ambitions.
He also knew that Pan Yi was a good teaching assistant and helped him a lot.
It's just that if it goes on like this, one season, two seasons...... Maybe the top management will really consider letting Pan Yi directly replace him as the head coach.
After all, since Pan Yi can do anything, what else do you want you to do Allegri?
Therefore, Allegri also supports Pan Yi's idea of leaving the team.
"I'll bless you." Allegri said.
Pan Yi also smiled and said: "It's still early, we still have a lot of championships to win." Let's make this season a success! ”
