Chapter 40 A terrifying winning streak
In the major sports media newspapers on the next day, it was naturally the news that Milan defeated Barcelona away.
Some are common reports on the process and results of this game:
"Barcelona's pass and control failed, Milan captured Camp Nou 2:1!"
"Ibrahimovic kills the old master with one pass and one shot, and Milan youth training young player will win the finale!"
"Is it 433 or 451? Detailed explanation of AC Milan's tactical changes in this game"
Some are a little bit lace:
"Milan assistant coach suspected of being a Messi fan, he drinks away from Milan players and snatches Messi's jersey"
"Pan Yi crazyly celebrates stealing the spotlight, why do Milan players love him?"
"Guardiola wants to poach Milan's corner? Chat with Pan Yi before and after the game"
At the post-match press conference, Guardiola even mentioned Pan Yi in particular:
"I think Pan Yi is a tactical genius. When I was at his age, I couldn't even understand a complete tactical system."
"I'm going to dig him? Haha...I don't deny that I have such an idea, but it seems he is not happy."
"Maybe he wants to take my position more than be my assistant. So, let it go...haha!"
Being named and praised by the world's top coach and "attempt" to poach Pan Yi's fame has suddenly increased a lot.
Especially in Longguo, the ban on the Football Association itself gave Pan Yi some legendary color. After being praised by Guardiola, Pan Yi, the coach genius of Longguo, made almost all fans know about it.
Then, this led to a wave of satirical topics on the Internet, "Thank you for your frustration in the Football Association and let Pan Yi go to Milan", but at least he did not go to the Football Association's official website and official media again.
In some professional football media, such as Sky Sports, many senior former players and coaches have been invited to discuss AC Milan's game, including other games that have been held this season.
Many people also hold similar views to Guardiola, believing that it is likely that Pan Yi changed Milan's tactical style.
The reason is very simple. Since Pan Yi joined the company, Milan has introduced several young players one after another and has gradually begun to play as the main player in the new tactical system.
The 4132 formation that Allegri used last season was not used in the official game.
This shows that Allegri already trusted this young coach Longguo very much and accepted his suggestions completely, using the 433, which has sharper offense and more stable defense, as the basic formation, and on this basis, targeted adjustments are made according to the different opponents.
At the same time, some other people believe that AC Milan has only played three official games now, and whether this tactic is really so amazing is not yet decided so early.
It is better to wait for AC Milan to play more games, meet more opponents and different styles of play to prove how universal this tactic is.
So, under the attention of the whole world, AC Milan began their performance in the new season.
On September 18, Milan defeated Napoli 3-1 away.
Ibrahimovic continued his good form and scored twice in the first 30 minutes, with kicking on his head laying the foundation for the victory of this game.
In the second half, Thiago Silva took advantage of a corner kick to header and expanded the score to 3:0.
Napoli only took advantage of the opportunity when Milan players were not watching the crowd, and center Cavani scored a goal to save face when the game was approaching the end.
On September 21, AC Milan defeated Udinese 1:0 at home.
The intensive schedule of three consecutive days and one game has allowed Milan to make the decision to rotate most of the players.
Players like Inzagi, Emmaruelson, Flamini and Mex who have less playing time have also got the opportunity.
But because of this, AC Milan seemed a little unfamiliar in this game, and the players did not have a tacit understanding of passing and cutting balls, which made the scene look a bit ugly.
Moreover, in this game, Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic performed like a cheat, with high and low blocks, saving many of Milan's must-scoring goals.
Although suppressed by AC Milan, Udinese still relied on the counterattack of forward Dinatale, causing constant trouble to Milan's defense line.
In the final game, Milan only relied on Inzaghi's successful offside push and scored three-pointers at home.
Although the process was a bit difficult, the rotation lineup finally won the game with an affordable 1:0, which also boosted AC Milan's morale.
So three days later, on September 24, AC Milan successfully defeated Cesena 4-1 at home.
In this game, Milan sent out most of the main players and took the initiative in the game.
Salah helped Milan start the first record in a 5-minute raid, while Mane on the other side also used a long shot to expand his lead 10 minutes later.
Before the end of the half, Cesena's midfielder Candreva made a long pass to find forward Mutu, who headed the ball to help the visiting team get a goal back.
But in the second half, Milan continued to open fire, Aubameyang and Ibrahimovic each scored one goal, and finally won a big victory.
After a brilliant start to win four consecutive victories in Serie A, AC Milan returned to the Champions League.
On September 29, they were at home and defeated the Czech Republic Victory Team 2:0 without any bloodshed, and also won two consecutive Champions League group stages, occupying the top spot.
A little different from other games is that Milan started to "revers" in this game, with two defenders scoring the goal.
Van Dijk scored his first goal for AC Milan, and the way he scored was naturally his best header.
Another goal came from Abate. His kick on the right was like a pass or a shot, which made the opponent's goalkeeper not be prepared and the ball fell directly into the net.
In this way, AC Milan's September schedule ended with a terrifying six-game winning streak.
At the same time, they also started their new 2011-2012 season with such a six-game winning streak!
Such a record not only made all Milan fans ecstatic, but also made Milan's senior executives a little unbelievable.
Especially Galliani.
He thought that even though the team's strength has not dropped sharply this season, he should be able to maintain the performance of last season in terms of record.
After all, you get what you pay for. As an old man who has been in the football world for many years, Galliani naturally understands this truth.
But now?
The lottery tickets seemed to be won?
This forced Galliani to sigh at Pan Yi's magical power.
After all, these lottery tickets are all numbers chosen by Pan Yi.
Moreover, during the same period last season, Milan has lost one game and draw three games so far.
Compared with the reborn performance this season, it is a bit worse.
Considering such a bad start last season, I finally won the league championship...
Galliani has reason to fantasize about the results of this year.
Of course, before that, Milan needs to pass a big hurdle.
The biggest opponent in the league.
On October 2, he challenged Juventus away.
