Chapter Forty-Eight: You, Give Me a Pre-Insertion to Start Practicing [Ask for Follow-up Tickets!] 】
After four consecutive wins, Milan is in the limelight in Serie A.
After all, under the backdrop of a bunch of opponents who pull across from time to time, Milan, which has won four consecutive victories in one fell swoop, naturally has more "kingly spirit".
After all, in Serie A, the team that wants to win the championship must be stable.
The champion team may not have won the most games, it may not have scored the most goals, or it may not have the most goal difference.
But basically it will be the most stable in defense and on the field.
The defense is stable, and the offense is a little bit of a statement, and it can basically be stable to win the middle and lower teams.
In layman's terms, it is necessary to have a reliable and stable ability to abuse vegetables.
Milan's current record illustrates this well.
You don't care how long you play Namiran, that is, you can get three points steadily, and the same is true for Lecce.
Inter and Lazio both overturned one after another, but Milan was able to do two legs to get the pepper in hand, and that's the ability.
A wave of abuse to pick up points, coupled with Napoli and Inter Milan overturning in the middle and lower tiers, extended Milan's league lead to eight points in one fell swoop.
It's almost a three-win margin for fault.
It's no wonder that my uncle is full of confidence.
However, it is still too early to reach the end of the league season, and there is room for further improvement in Milan's formation and new style of play.
Therefore, on January 26, after Milan's visa-free Bayern midfielder Van Bommel reported to Milanello, Allegri began a new round of his tactical transformation.
When Andrea Pirlo dragged behind, both Leon and Gattuso needed to put more effort into defending to protect the middle of the midfield from being exploited by opponents.
But now if Van Bommel is used as the starting midfielder, then Leon and Gattuso will have more spare time to support the players up front.
Of course, it is unrealistic to directly appoint Van Bommel as the main starter, after all, Andrea Pirlo has proven that he is still very capable of playing, and the tactical effect is quite large.
It is impossible for Allegri to forcibly refrigerate the master of leather in this situation.
But Pirlo is no more physical than ever, and he always has to rotate.
So Allegri put forward new requirements for Leon in response to Pirlo's rotation and Van Bommel's delayed start.
"Huh? Let me practice the front insertion? ”
On January 27, Li Ang, who was preparing to practice short passes on the training ground, looked incredulous after hearing Uncle Yu's new requirements for him.
"Yes, it's you, start practicing forward insertion for me from today."
"Isn't there Kevin (Big Boateng), he is better at inserting forward than me."
"When the two of you step forward together, he has a long shot, you have a header, and the threat of the two of you rushing together will be several times greater."
Seeing that Uncle Yu didn't look like he was joking, Li Ang only felt a little painful.
It's not that he avoids getting involved in attack, but he gets into the opposition box to try to score in the middle of the game, which he hasn't been involved in before.
Can it really be done?
With habitual questioning, Leon and Big Boateng worked together jerkily in Allegri's specially formulated forward tactics.
On the afternoon of January 28, Ibrahimovic and Robinho, Pato and several other forwards also added tactical drills to the new attacking routine.
And Leon also thinks he has touched Allegri's true intentions.
After all, the drill of the new offensive routine is still very simple.
Either Ibrahimovic and a few of their strikers played in the cover, and he and Boateng stepped forward to attack the opposition defence at the moment of a wide player's cross.
Either he and Big Boateng rushed in first to disrupt the opponent's defensive deployment, and then Ibrahimovic and them used as the second offensive echelon to fight the "harvest battle".
"In essence, it's still the kind of way to win in chaos."
Li Ang consciously understood what Uncle Yu meant, and he was a little relieved by this new offensive routine.
At the end of the day, he doesn't have much of a goalscoring load on him, at best as a battering ram to help other attacking players attract defensive fire.
As for whether to cover Ibrahimovic, Pato or Boateng to break the goal, he just needs to do his own covering.
After a few training sessions in a step-by-step manner, Milan embarked on another road trip on 30 January, heading to South Sicily to take on FC Catania.
Another relegation team hovering near the relegation zone, there was not much tension in Milan up and down.
Even the new signing Van Bommel was much more relaxed after knowing the general strength of his opponent.
I don't know if Uncle Yi is too satisfied with the quality of his recent training, or if he is really tired from watching Pirlo.
Van Bommel was directly scheduled to start in this round of the league.
Li Ang was a little panicked in his heart.
Van Bommel started in central midfield, and he and Gattuso had to change their style of play slightly.
Gattuso is more of a help pass, but he's going to have to go for the attack.
It's training and it's another thing to use it in competition, and Leon thinks he can take it slowly, but Allegri doesn't give him time to adapt to his new role.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, as the whistle blew in the Massimino stadium, the 22nd round of Serie A between Milan and Catania officially began.
Today, Milan did not make any major personnel changes in other positions, except for the new signing Van Bommel as the starting midfielder.
Ibrahimovic and Pato started with a two-man striker.
Da Boateng played in midfield, with Leon and Gattuso flanking the midfield.
At the back, Nesta, who returned from injury in the previous round and played well, continued to start alongside Silva, Antonini rotated, left wing-back Zambrotta started today, and right-back Abate.
The starting goalkeeper is still Abbiati.
And Catania's starters don't have much to say, and most of them feel "faceless" when they look at it.
Only one Maxi López and Gomez are still impressive.
The former was famous in football in later generations because his wife Wanda was abducted by Maocardi, the "King of Fudo" Icardi.
The latter is known to fans for his outstanding performance in Atlanta in later generations.
But the current strength of the two is not too outstanding.
Catania, like most relegation teams, are constipated in attack and a lump in defence... Anyway, it's a mediocre team.
At first glance, it makes sense for Allegri to use such an opponent to practice a new offensive and defensive routine.
Leon gritted his teeth and followed Boateng shortly after the start of the game, spotting an opportunity to rush forward.
I have to say that it feels really cool to have a defensive gate behind you to wipe your ass.
It was also the first time for Li Ang to enjoy such tactical treatment, and after being restrained once or twice, he slowly let go and rushed forward, and the effect was really passable.
In the fourteenth minute of the first half, Li Ang found his first chance to rush to the top and complete his first shot of the game.
The ball was slightly off the pitch under the confrontation, but Allegri was quite satisfied with it off the field.
Da Boateng shot from a distance, Li Ang rushed to the top for a header, and the offensive tactics inserted behind the midfield are becoming more and more abundant~
"Who would dare to say that I won't arrange an attack?"
Thinking of this, Allegri looked at Leon, who slipped back into the midfield at the moment to fight against the Catania attacking players.
"This kid can use anything... No, I'll have to look into ...... research."
