On September 17, when Tottenham's match against Milan started, standing on the San Siro Stadium, Li Bin couldn't help but sigh. This visit to his hometown and back to Italy really allowed him to see the current Serie A.
There are too many problems. Looking at Serie A like this, he is also very happy that he has left early and no longer cares about things here.
The current Serie A has begun to decline due to lack of money. Except for Juventus and Inter Milan, two wealthy locals who still have money to spend, basically all other teams have stopped spending.
Money. Serie A’s wrong business philosophy prevented them from opening up the market even when they were the most powerful. Under the impact of the economic crisis, they suffered the most.
With money, there is no way to recruit players. Now the Serie A players represented by Milan have begun to get older and worse day by day. Although Li Bin was here, Serie A was still third, and even briefly killed
They went to the second league, but now, their decline is no slower than Li Bin remembered. Although it is unlikely that the Bundesliga will catch up this season, it is hard to say what will happen next season.
Moreover, at the most helpless time, even Milan still wants to play beautiful offensive football.
There were not many surprises in Milan's defense in this game, but in their midfield, they used Ambrosini and Pirlo as double midfielders. In front of them, they placed a West
Dov serves as the attacking midfielder. In the front, Borriello is in the middle, Ronaldinho is on the left, and Beckham is on the right. The formation is similar to a formation that changes between 433 and 451.
The establishment of this formation made Li Bin dumbfounded: only Ambrosini and Pirlo were used as starters, and Gattuso was not allowed to come up. With such a style of play, wouldn't it mean waiting for others to blow up their backcourt?
Moreover, in the frontcourt, put Ronaldinho and Beckham
, and there is Seedorf - these people may be able to control the ball, but which one of them has enough ability to attack Tottenham's defense? Without the ability to attack, no matter how good your passing control is,
What’s the point? Isn’t that all invalid possession of the ball?
On the football field, sometimes the experience of veterans is indeed needed. However, veterans also have unavoidable problems, that is, their physical fitness must have declined and they can no longer form an impact. They can pass the ball well.
Come, the prerequisite is that your teammates can attack the opponent's defense line and tear a big enough hole in the opponent's defense line. However, if
A group of people are already very old and have no impact. So, no matter how good the control is, they cannot break through the opponent's defense. This principle is common to everyone. Even if it is as strong as Barcelona, Messi is indispensable.
At one point, without Messi, they could still control the field, but they couldn't win. This was because Messi's ability to tear up the defense was number one at the time, and it was what Barcelona lacked.
And now there is no Messi in Milan. On this side of Tottenham, the 26-year-old Yaya Toure is already considered a veteran in the lineup. They are not too old overall and can rely on good running.
To maintain the scene, while in Milan, Biya
Borriello, who is one year older than Arture, is considered their young player and the most impactful one among them. At this age level, playing against himself and wanting to hedge against him, I don’t know.
Leonardo, what are you thinking?
Li Bin understands that he is Brazilian and understands his pursuit of offensive football, but is it really wise to act like this?
However, Li Bin also knows that he has no choice. Now it seems that Gattuso has not renewed his contract, so he dare not use Gattuso as a starting player. And Balotelli in the frontcourt seems to have been injured again recently——
Although he is considered the best in Serie A and even the world
A young player, but his professionalism has always been a problem. Although he now has a semi-main position in Milan, his level has never been too high. After Ancelotti left, Leonardo could not control it.
Stop him and see that he is heading towards a deserted road.
And without them, Leonardo can only use these people: he has never been a tactically qualified coach. As a manager, his advantage is to deal with interpersonal relationships, be able to do a good job in signings, and
He is still a very charming person. As for tactics, he was just given to Li Bin as a toy.
People always think that Inter Milan is a star black hole, but in fact, when it comes to destroying stars, Milan has also discarded a lot of stars, especially young people. It has been many years since anyone has taken the lead in Milan. Their philosophy is bigger than Inter Milan.
Because of this, Inter Milan replaced Pellegrini. He was able to promote Bonucci and others so that Inter Milan would no longer be a rental company for players. However, on Milan's side, it would be the same no matter who they replaced. It was difficult to
The decline was restored.
They had just lost to Inter Milan by four goals. Li Bin did not have such high demands on his players. For him, defeating them by three goals was what he expected.
"Tottenham played a rare 4141 formation in this game. Perhaps because they also needed to fight continuously, Tottenham chose to rotate. They used Raul as the forward, and Ramsey behind Raul.
Yaya Toure, Bale and Di Maria were behind him, Gustavo defended behind, and behind, Li Bin replaced Piszczek and used Walker as the
As the starter, this is also a relatively rare substitution. However, no matter how he substitutes, Li Bin's arrangement is very surprising. The formation he arranged is similar to the double or even three defensive midfielders he insisted on before.
There is a big difference. Such a single defensive midfielder can better unleash Tottenham's offensive power. The rumors that Li Bin wants to take revenge on Milan are very credible..."
Li Bin's tactics are indeed rare and bold. He rarely uses a single defensive midfielder, which he himself admits. However, such tactics are perfect for playing against Milan. Now Milan is a group of old bones. They
If you can't withstand the impact or collision, the best way to deal with them is to press them with all your strength.
Moreover, it would be better to let the players develop a confrontational mentality in San Siro. Li Bin found that although he repeatedly emphasized before the game that Tottenham's strength was much better than Milan's, but on the court, the players faced
The performance against Milan was still a bit restrained. Too many Tottenham players were playing in the Champions League for the first time, and even some of them were playing official matches abroad for the first time. Their serious lack of experience made them unable to play in the Champions League.
When facing Milan, he was a little timid and didn't play very well.
Tottenham have never played in the Champions League. Deep down in their hearts, they are still a little afraid of the situation in the Champions League. Moreover, the first game is against Milan, which intensifies their fear and makes them dare not let go.
Onslaught. Li Bin had certain ideas about this situation. He was not in a hurry. He passed it.
Minutes, Tottenham did not achieve any effective offensive. However, as Milan has been unable to play any good goals, Tottenham players have begun to realize that their opponents are mediocre, which makes them,
They also started to let go of their hands and feet.
After getting the ball again, Di Maria grabbed it from Jankulovski and did not choose to pass the ball immediately. He took the ball and ran two steps towards the center, looking at his teammates, thinking in his heart
I am also thinking about how to launch an attack.
Before the game, the name Milan still meant something unattainable to him. This was the best team in the Champions League in the 1990s. Their strength, their experience, and their level were all
Di Maria was very fascinated. However, during the game
He discovered that although they were very famous, Milan's players couldn't press out and couldn't attack. When Tottenham's players got the ball, they could only fully return to defense. This kind of playing style was not like that at all.
The way a strong team beat a weak team made Di Maria feel surprised.
"Milan is no longer the Milan of the past. Any team with an average age of over 30 years old will have a hard time gaining a foothold under constant pressure. What's more, they also have a coach who is not very smart. As long as we identify
With this, we can break down their defense. Attack hard and don't stop attacking, that's what you have to do."
Li Bin's instructions to Di Maria were remembered by him at this time. Originally, he didn't agree with Li Bin's statement that the main players over thirty years old were weaklings with no impact and no resistance. However,
Now Di Maria has to admit that Milan doesn't even have anyone who can press the player on the ball. This is not the same as the super powerhouse in the Champions League that he imagined. In a sense, their defense is even worse.
The worst Di Maria has seen this season.
Facing them, what is there to hesitate about?
He took the ball and cut inside. Jankulovski and Seedorf in the midfield tried to stop him, but he didn't even change his direction. He just accelerated his feet suddenly and already blocked the two attempts.
He has left all his people behind. He is superior in age.
The momentum gave him too many explosive advantages. Seedorf had no time to react to this impact, and although Jankulovsky stretched out his foot in time to tackle him, he was blocked by
His accelerated pace was beyond his reach.
In front of him, Ambrosini has already moved closer. Unfortunately, because Milan's football is open enough, in their backcourt, no matter how they move at this time, it is difficult to move these things.
All loopholes of slow players are plugged
Di Maria made a diagonal pass and passed the ball to Raul who ran behind Ambrosini. When Ambrosini turned around and wanted to complete a double attack with Lucio,
Raul had already picked up the ball and passed it towards the left wing.
Over there, Bell had already rushed forward. Relying on Raul to attract the opponent, his direct play into the penalty area was not blocked at all. This time, he had already controlled the football in the penalty area. And in
After getting the ball, Bell adjusted a step from a small angle and kicked the ball out with a short and powerful sweep.
He has been practicing shooting for a long time, and this is his favorite way of shooting. This one shot by himself was enough to catch the opponent's goalkeeper off guard and make him lie on the ground, unable to hold the ball.
"gooooal!!!! Gareth Bale! His first career goal, against Milan! Like Tottenham, his future is bright!"
Bell ran towards the audience, making a heart-shaped gesture with his hands to show his loyalty. On the edge of the court, Li Bin also clapped and watched this scene.
This is the best thing. Tottenham scored a goal. Now, they are no longer the first team in the Champions League. Milan's blood has completed their baptism.
