Ancelotti saw through Jose! The veteran coach who was forced into a corner fought back, made bold plans, found loopholes that were not considered loopholes in Chelsea, and formulated a fully targeted plan to stimulate the powerful abilities of his top stars. Thus, Chelsea
Give the "weak" part a hard blow.
This plan was not only highly targeted, but also so hidden that even Jose had to observe it for 15 minutes before he gradually saw it clearly. Ancelotti’s arrangement also shocked the three Liaoning coaches in the stands.
It's an eye-opener. He is indeed a top coach in the world. Although he is not as famous as Jose, he is really ruthless and has a really vicious vision.
Chelsea, who had a big away victory, returned to home with conservative tactics and using the power of their defensive system was almost the only option. And Mr. Roman's ambition for the Champions League is also well-known in European football. Therefore, Ancelotti guessed that even if Inter Milan was not helping
Here comes Jose’s tactical arrangement.
Therefore, Ancelotti deployed two layers of confusion tactics. On the first layer, his starting personnel were Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Kaká, Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo, and Cafu.
Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini, Dida. This all-main starting lineup, coupled with AC Milan's consistent arrangement of decisive battles in the middle, concealed Ancelotti's unconventional "let go of the road" in this game.
"Occupy both sides" is the strategic intention of launching a decisive battle on Chelsea's powerful wing.
On the second level, the position of the players after the opening was exactly the same as in the previous game, hiding the arrangement of the diamond position in the midfield becoming a parallel position. During the attack, Pirlo pulled to the right, Kaká moved to the left, and West
Dov bursts forward, and Gattuso becomes a defensive midfielder. This hidden tactical arrangement is consistent with the strategic arrangement. Let two midfielders with excellent dribbling play on the wings, and give up Makelele.
The unbreakable Black Carbon Head instead chose the dribbling Robben and Duff as well as Del Horno and Gremi behind them to attack. After breaking through Robben and Duff, Malty came up behind them.
Ni and Cafu provide support, or the latter simply intervenes first. The former takes over and quickly attacks the center along the baseline, with Shevchenko and Inzaghi taking over.
This arrangement was so covert and unconventional that Jose and his powerful intelligence analysis system did not expect it at all. This also reflects Ancelotti's sophistication and decisiveness. Its biggest feature is that it bypasses Mark
Lelei found the weakness of Chelsea's two wingers, making Makelele useless, which made Chelsea seem to have one less person to fight. Kaka and Pirlo's dribbling and speed were extremely good, and they suddenly pulled to the wing.
During the attack, Chelsea, who had been guarding the Milan midfield, was thrown into chaos.
The first goal was when Kaká broke away from Robben's harassment, easily passed Del Horno, withstood his impact, went straight to the penalty area, and was scored by Inzaghi with a short pass at the last minute.
The second one came from Pirlo's assist. With Cafu's support, although he couldn't resist Gremi, he relied on his flexible foot skills to pass the ball to the edge of the penalty area when he was close to the baseline. Seedorf
He grabbed the position in time and took advantage of the chaos in Chelsea's middle to score.
Jose, who finally understood, was determined to fight back. His first order was given to Lampard, asking him to go all out to entangle Pirlo on the right side behind the center circle and defend in a zone-marking manner! The second one
The order was given to Wang Ai, requiring him to conduct half-court man-to-man defense against Kaka in his own half! The third order was given to John Terry, requiring him to adhere to the established back line area defense and pay attention to guarding against opponents.
The mid-way response.
Regarding the counterattack, Jose didn't say a word. Because the time before the restart was very short, he couldn't say much, but his arrangement showed his calmness, confidence and foresight in the face of strong pressure.
.
Not attacking when the score is behind is definitely not an easy decision for a head coach with a boss like Mr. Roman. But it is the most reassuring decision for the players. If the coach hurriedly asks everyone to attack at this time,
On the contrary, it will make the players panic. Because they will feel the coach's anxiety. If the coach can't do anything, they will have no backbone. But now, their coach still has a plan in mind.
Jose's foresight was reflected in the fact that the Milan people's morale was greatly boosted after the kick-off! Each of the guys who are already world-class stars broke out with 120% combat effectiveness, repeatedly creating dangerous situations in the Chelsea half. If not
Jose withstood the pressure and resolutely arranged the defense. I am afraid that at least one goal will be conceded in the next ten minutes.
That ball was a fatal short pass from Kaká, who was entangled by Wang Ai from the center circle to the baseline, and from the baseline to the penalty area. If not for the last moment, Wang Ai, who was already shaken, turned around and knocked the ball away.
If the baseline is exceeded, Inzaghi has been lurking in front of the goal line for a long time!
Jose's arrangement is to use his two strongest midfielders - Lampard's strength lies in his comprehensiveness, and Wang Ai's strength lies in his physical fitness and flexibility to respectively limit the two cores of Milan's style of play - Pierre
Luo and Kaka! Let them assist Duff and Robben respectively, thereby eliminating Ancelotti's changes and forcing the opponent to change tactics and play in the middle again.
Although this is the strength of the Milanese, judging from the experience of the last game, the Milanese's center cannot open up Makelele's position, while Chelsea's wingers can get whatever they want. As long as the Milanese are forced back to the center, it means
Now that we have returned to the rhythm of the last game, even if we are two goals behind, Chelsea can still catch up.
Moreover, the Milanese's unconventional style of play must have been planned for many days and conducted careful training. As long as the opponent is forced to give up, it will be too late for Ancelotti to arrange such a set of careful tactics, especially in on-the-spot situations.
Down.
This is not an ordinary battle for ball possession, nor an ordinary battle for game control, but a battle for dominance of the game! It is a battlefield that belongs exclusively to the head coach.
Ancelotti was very stubborn, because he had no time to arrange a second set of careful tactics, so he could only persist; similarly, Jose was also very stubborn, and the game time was ticking, from the 15th minute, to the 20th minute, to the 25th minute.
The stalemate between the two sides for 35 minutes was his tactical victory.
The passage of time is nothing. The joy and excitement brought about by the Milanese's successful sneak attack are dissipating. The side combat that he is not good at and the unfavorable situation of multi-person defense are quickly consuming Pirlo's physical fitness and Kaká's patience.
Time is against Jose, time is in Jose's favor. Time is against Ancelotti, time is in Ancelotti's favor.
