Chapter 19 Playing cards against common sense?
In the next few days, the tactical training of the entire AC Milan team will be carried out according to Pan Yi's arrangement.
During this period, Pan Yi and Allegri also went to talk to Ibrahimovic.
Of course it was about making him a substitute in the Super Cup.
After all, Ibrahimovic is the core and number one star of the team. With his straightforward personality, it is better to tell him such things than to hide them.
What surprised Pan Yi was a little bit surprising was that Ibrahimovic accepted the proposal very readily.
After all, it’s Da Fengxian!
The Swedish God Tower is still very sensible, and there is no mention of professional qualities.
Of course, Ibrahimovic did this because he was indeed a little injured and could not fully recover on the day of the game, which would still affect his condition.
On the other hand, Pan Yi explained the tactics that Ibrahimovic felt very good, and he also felt that the new tactics could restrain Inter Milan's midfield operation.
At the same time, this is also a sign that Pan Yi is becoming more and more recognized by players in the team.
Then, if Ibrahimovic is done, then the next thing will be easier.
On Saturday, August 6, the day of the game, the team conducted the final adaptive training, and Allegri also announced the lineup for the evening.
This lineup was beyond the expectations of many people.
Salah, Mane, Van Dijk, Kanter...all these young new players are there.
You know, except for the chance they had in the first game of the preseason, there was nothing behind them.
Especially after Pato, Robinho and Thiago Silva returned to the team, they themselves found it more difficult to play as the main player.
Especially Aubameyang.
His current direct competitor is the largest card in the team and the highest-paid Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic, who is as strong as a lion, never gets slightly injured and does not fall off the line of fire. He will try his best to fight in such competitions.
So for Aubameyang, it is obviously more difficult to win a main position than others.
Therefore, when he heard that he wanted it, he was stunned.
I stayed for dozens of seconds before I realized it, looking at my teammates left and right, trying to figure out if I heard it wrong?
Until Allegri pulled Aubameyang aside and gave a separate guidance: "Tonight's game, pay attention to retreating when attacking and open up space. When defending, you must press Samuel at the first time and don't let him pass the ball comfortably..."
Now Aubameyang woke up like a dream and said excitedly: "Thank you for your trust in me! I will definitely perform well today! Do my best to attack and defend!"
Allegri smiled and patted Aubameyang on the head: "It's great, but you can't be too arrogant. It's not good to eat cards too early."
Allegri did not specifically mention who proposed this lineup, but anyone with discerning eyes could see that this set of 433 was obviously made by Pan Yi.
But as a club, the coaching staff is a whole. In a certain game, no matter which coach's opinions dominate, the final decision of the entire coaching staff must be the decision of the entire coaching staff.
In this way, no matter whether you win or lose, you will not specifically blame a coach for this.
For the outside world, since the head coach is the ultimate goal, the focus is naturally on Allegri, and Pan Yi can test the tactical style he learned from the system courses without any pressure, which is also an advantage.
After the training, Pan Yi called the young players together to give a lecture and encourage them, and asked them to shout together to boost morale:
"Tonight is your first Super Cup and the first Milan derby. You must have confidence and win!"
"To win!"
"There is nothing scary about Inter Milan. No matter what opponent we face, we just have to fight!"
"Try to fight!"
"You must prove to everyone that you are worthy. You must not give up!"
"Give up!"
...
It's exactly 8 pm.
The Bird's Nest Stadium is full, and countless fanatical Milan fans have shaped the atmosphere of the stadium to no less than a World Cup final.
Inter Milan head coach Gasperini - this head coach who has achieved great success in Atlanta in the future has always advocated offense.
Today he also arranged a 451 formation that was biased towards offense:
Forward: Etoo.
Midfielders: Sneider, Stankovic, Mota, Alvarez, Obi.
Defenders: Sanetti, Samuel, Zivo, Ranokia.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
AC Milan is a 433 formation mainly composed of young players:
Forwards: Mane, Aubameyang, Salah.
Midfielders: Kante, Gattuso, Boateng.
Desilio, Van Dijk, Thiago Silva, Abate.
Goalkeeper: Abiati.
After seeing the lineups of both sides, CCTV5's commentator Duan Xuan immediately said in surprise:
"There is nothing special about Inter Milan's lineup today, but there are so many young players on AC Milan?"
Today's commentator is Zhang Lu, who has been commentating on Serie A for many years.
He also said:
"It's indeed a bit surprising. This lineup is closer to when Milan played for the factory in Hengtai, and today they were put directly on the Super Cup stage."
Duan Xuan: "Milan is very bold today after playing with so many young substitutes. Don't they want to win anymore? I always feel that when I played for Guoan in the last game, I was Milan's real main lineup."
Zhang Lu: "Maybe it was because of losing to Guoan that Milan made such an adjustment today? Or was it a confusing opponent in the last game? This may have to be known after the game starts."
Duan Xuan: "Is there a possibility that Pan Yi, the assistant coach of our Long Kingdom, prompted Milan to make changes? When playing Hengtai, Pan Yi was the acting head coach, and he used this lineup, right?"
Zhang Lu: "Hehe..."
The commentator was guessing, and Inter Milan's coach Gasperini was also a little confused.
What's the situation?
Who are the three people on the forward line of AC Milan?
Pato and Robinho didn't even go there, and Ibrahimovic didn't even go there!
Who is the little black guy in the midfield who is less than 1.7 meters tall?
AC Milan actually let such a young young man take such an important position as a back midfielder!
Even when Allegri doesn't play according to common sense?
This does not match Gasperini's impression of Allegri at all.
After all, Allegri doesn't like rotation in the official game, and is famous for only fighting a main lineup.
As long as no one was seriously injured, he wouldn't be able to adjust the lineup.
So before the game, Gasperini also made targeted deployments of Allegri's main lineup, such as how to observe Ibrahimovic, how to prevent Pato's breakthrough, and how to block Van Bomel's passing line...
But now that the opponent's lineup is put on, it feels like it's in vain!
If you don’t even get on, how can you guard against him?
And just as the Inter Milan coach and players were confused, a whistle sounded from the referee's mouth.
The 2011 Italian Super Cup has begun!
Chapter completed!
