Once they have decided on their opponents for the next leg of the Champions League, AC Milan have started to study their opponents.

Carlo Ancelotti began to call the players to the office individually on the third day to explain the tactics.

First, Ancelotti called Pirlo and Gattuso over.

"In the next Champions League, we will be a two-man midfield combination with a central midfielder. Ancelotti looked at Pirlo and Gattuso and said solemnly: "The two of you have only one job, and that is to make the dribbling breakthrough that prevents Messi, Ivan is good at physical confrontation and pressing!" Pirlo can anticipate the opponent's passing path, but be careful to act together when running to limit. ”

"Give the ball to Pirlo when you counterattack to make a choice, but be decisive and resolute!"

Listening to Ancelotti's words, Pirlo frowned and said: "But Barcelona's high pressing will immediately put into the counter-robbery link after we steal." ”

"Yes! So there will be a central midfielder role, Kaka will also play as a single forward in this game, the forward line retreats and adducts, which can solve the troubles of the passing route for you! ”

Pirlo nodded slightly, he basically understood what Ancelotti meant.

It's just a fake pass control, a real counterattack!

The pass that seems to be maintaining the ball is actually not advancing, but it is looking for opportunities to counterattack while stabilizing the ball.

"Call Pato here!"

After speaking, Ancelotti began to call the others again.

After the two left, Pato walked in.

"Boss!"

Pato looked excited, after all, to be called by the boss alone, there must be some special instructions.

"Sit down!"

Ancelotti didn't raise his head, pointed to the sofa opposite and said: "I need you to keep pressing on the wing, this game you will return to the familiar left wing, use your speed and instant explosiveness to attack the Barcelona defence!" ”

"I can do it!"

Pato shouted out loud almost without thinking.

It's a very rare opportunity for him to play in this crucial game.

"In addition to the impact, there is also pressing and pressing, you need to cooperate with the forward line to continue to press their midfield, you, Suker and Kaka, the three of you need to run aggressively, I want the ball to run to the maximum peak of the team!"

Pato nodded in understanding.

Then it was Suker's turn and Kaka's turn.

Ancelotti laid out the same words to them.

"It's not high-level oppression, is it?"

Suke immediately understood.

Ancelotti nodded: "Yes!" This is not pure high pressing, but a means to confuse the opposition, and Barcelona's strength is reflected in the midfield. ”

"The combination of Xavi and Iniesta + Messi, we can't make them pass the ball comfortably, although they can't really make half-time tackles, but we also have to make them aware that there is pressure and pressing, so that their ball will not be so calm!"

Ancelotti said in a deep voice: "We need to make them rush to pass the ball to Messi, and then use the double back combination of Gattuso and Pirlo to intercept and press!" ”

Su Ke blinked, this tactic is kind of interesting!

Not to mention the details, and there are many plausible ones.

The most important thing is that the double back waist restricts Messi's tactics, isn't this Mourinho's Inter Milan sniping Barcelona's tactics!

At that time, Mourinho used Motta and Cambiasso to form a double midfield, and the seemingly clumsy combination used just the right amount of tackles to cleverly grab the ball and control it at his feet.

During the time when Barcelona was in vogue, this Inter Milan team was the only team that made Barcelona hate.

It's just that AC Milan doesn't have the 'best defense in the world' like Inter Milan.

To do this, they need to use fake passes, fake pressing, to confuse their opponents.

A series of means and tactical arrangements are all in preparation for the next counterattack!

In summary, everything is fake!

Only a counterattack is real!

Especially in the first half, which was the most crucial moment, AC Milan will inevitably be under more attacking pressure, and they will have to get effective counter-attacks and goals.

Carlo Ancelotti deserves to be a top manager, and he quickly grasped the key factors and made arrangements!

"And there's a new tactic!" Ancelotti Road; "In the next game, I will give you a lot of time to run in, half a month, you must finish the run-in, this is the most critical link!"

The reason why Ancelotti dared to play like this was because of the new tactics that Suker and Kaka had developed.

That kind of terrifying impact, once it enters Barcelona's half, their backline will inevitably be unable to withstand it.

As long as AC Milan's counter-attack is played, Barcelona will suffer.

Of course, tactics are tactics, this is a big premise, and it depends on the performance of the players.

For example, if Gattuso and Pirlo can't contain Messi, then everything is empty talk.

AC Milan couldn't make limiting tackles, let alone counter-attack.

"Got it!"

Suke nodded to Kaka.

Ancelotti has done it to this extent, he has done it well enough.

Ancelotti nodded: "There will be training in spikes for the next training matches." ”

"Spikes?"

Suke was surprised.

Spikes are used to cope with slippery weather such as rain, so I don't know if it will rain on the day of the race, so why do I wear spikes!

AC Milan's training grounds, which began to pour a lot of water during the midday break, caused rainwater to accumulate throughout the stadium.

During afternoon training, AC Milan players came to the pitch wearing spikes.

The whole course was slippery.

Suker's tentative pass.

The ball didn't roll far at all, and it was difficult to pass it because of the standing water under the lawn.

"Loss!" Su Ke sighed; "That's a loss!"

The first leg is AC Milan's home game!

Carlo Ancelotti was well prepared, even taking into account the venue.

In this kind of waterlogged field, Barcelona's short passing is inevitably greatly reduced, not to mention the hard passing, and the passing is not easy.

It can be said that this kind of venue is a nightmare for a team like Barcelona that plays ground tactics.

AC Milan also make passes, but only control the ball.

Do they kill or fight back!

That is, a long pass!

Carlo Ancelotti used every means to extend his advantage and limit Barcelona as much as possible.

It can be felt that Ancelotti is imperative for this round of home matches!

Carlo Ancelotti was so well prepared that AC Milan naturally couldn't drop the chain.

The rest of the training takes place on this slippery field.

AC Milan have to get used to this kind of venue in advance.

"Pass it over!"

"Fill in the position! Fill in the gap! ”

"Pato! Come back and catch the ball! ”

Kaka and Pato played a one-two and passed the defender.

Kaka started to push forward quickly with the ball, but after a cross flick shook off the opposition midfielder, he went straight to the cross.

Maldini stared at where the ball landed and was ready to wreak havoc.

But Suke suddenly appeared in front of him and took the lead in the jump.

Without waiting for Maldini to make any interfering moves, Suker had already completed a header on the back of the net.

Swish!

The ball drilled into the left corner of the goal with precision.

"Beautiful! This fits very well! ”

Suke gave Kaka a thumbs up.

Kaka shook his head and said, "The frustration is still very strong!" ”

Suker patted Kaka on the shoulder: "Don't worry about these details, your metronome plays well, and sudden changes in tempo can catch the opponent off guard, but when passing, you can pass better, I can jump higher." ”

Barcelona are technically superior, but the aerial combat at the back is a flaw.

At the very least, Su Ke didn't think that the other party had the ability to restrain himself in the air.

On the counter-attack, AC Milan broke through and crossed from both wings, and Suker could finish the attack with his individual ability.

Of course, these are pre-match drills, and there will be more accidents and surprises in the process of the game.

The performance of the players is also a key factor.

Therefore, AC Milan must lay the groundwork first in order to increase the probability of winning.

A home win must be won!

Away from home is a further restriction on the opponent on the basis of the previous leg.

And all of this was decided on the basis of winning the first leg.

If you lose at home!

Then AC Milan has completely lost hope!

It's a must-win game!
