"An advance rehearsal?"

Allegri was stunned.

"What's the meaning?"

Chang Ming explained with a smile.

"Milan often fights on multiple fronts this season and players rotate frequently.

"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for the team to maintain its top level.

“There are very few games in which all the main players can appear.

"So our requirements for rotation players and substitute players are even higher.

“In games like this, Xiaolong and I have received special attention from our opponents a lot in the past, and there will be more in the future.

“So we need to make some more changes in tactics.

"Xiaolong and I feinted to create opportunities for our teammates.

"This will not only better utilize the strengths of other players, but also ensure that the offensive point is not blocked.

“So the two of us thought of going together for this game.

“Use yourself as a wall and a bunker to help your teammates create opportunities.

"That's the idea - a preview."

Only then did Allegri understand and nodded appreciatively.

Although he didn't say anything on his lips, his approval was palpable.

After Allegri left, Long Yu chuckled: "Da Ming, we are still previewing the national team today."

Chang Ming also smiled: "Yes, while ensuring the team's performance, it can also be regarded as preparing for the national team competition in advance."

When talking about Takayuki Morimoto before the game, Chang Ming once said something.

"Today is just a preview of the next game against Japan."

This sentence gave Long Yu some feelings and thoughts.

The same goes for Chang Ming.

After returning to the national team, they all faced the dilemma of finding it difficult to get along with their teammates.

The principle of wooden barrels is quite experienced by the two of them.

So in this game, they also thought of Catania as their opponent, Japan, in the next World Cup qualifying match.

Morimoto Takayuki on the striker also gave the two of them a sense of involvement.

How to maximize the team's combat effectiveness when the strength gap between your teammates and yourself is huge?

How to help teammates make plays, score goals, and win when two people are being restrained?

Throughout the game, both of them were thinking about this matter.

Overall, it is not bad.

The experience of this game can be brought back to the national team and discussed with Camacho.

In an ordinary Serie A match, Chang Ming and Long Yu kept trying their own football styles.

The two young people are growing up rapidly in their own way.

At this time, Chang Ming and Long Yu were enjoying the joy of victory.

They did not expect that the Chinese team would experience a dramatic scene in the World Cup qualifiers a few months later.

And that scene is so similar to today...

After winning against Catania, the Juventus general can finally take a break.

The game ended on November 26th, and the next game will not be played until December 1st.

Five days apart, only five days apart, which is still far behind the normal seven days.

Although it didn't last long, it was already pretty good for Milan, which frequently plays every three days.

Allegri simply gave the players a day and a half off. He had a rest in the morning on the 27th and 28th, and only conducted indoor tactical deductions in the afternoon.

The players have been too tired recently and need a good rest.

And in the next game, Milan must go all out.

On December 1, at the Alpi Stadium in Turin, Milan ushered in a very important game of the season.

In many people's minds, this is the most crucial game of the season.

Milan has experienced many important games this season. In the Champions League, the opponents are very strong; in the league, they face many strong opponents; and there is competition from rivals in the same city next door.

But in terms of criticality, this game is crucial.

Fourteen rounds of Serie A have been played this season, and the league's championship situation has become clearer.

Inter Milan, which was strong at the beginning of the season, was ambitious and defeated Lazio, the blue eagle of Milan. After a series of consecutive losses, they withdrew from the championship sequence early.

Although it is too early to say this now, given the predicament of the two teams, it is almost impossible to make a comeback later.

Udinese, which was in great form last season, has also been greatly reduced this season due to the departure of many main players, and has dropped out of the top four.

Roma continues last season's slump, with no signs of rebounding after the departure of a Barcelona faction-minded general.

The top four teams in the league are currently Milan, Juventus, Napoli and Fiorentina.

Naples and Fiorentina are 6 and 8 points behind Juventus.

There is a 7-point gap between Juventus and Milan.

Milan has been on top of their game this season, far ahead of their competitors.

The reason why this game is important is because it is a direct battle between the two biggest competitors.

This game is worth six points, and both sides are working hard to win.

If Juventus can win, the points gap with Milan will be narrowed to 4 points.

The difference is much smaller.

If Milan wins, the lead will reach double digits by 10 points.

10 points is an incredible lead.

As long as we don't make big mistakes in the future, we will be sure to win the league championship this season.

The stability of the league also determines that Milan can devote more energy to the Champions League and Italian Cup competitions.

The goal of competing for the title in the third tier this season is destined to step on the corpse of Juventus.

Milan must win this game.

Although there is a competitive relationship, to be fair, the private relationship between the two teams is still very good.

The title of Holy Alliance is not called for nothing.

The interests of both sides have been entangled for a long time. In the 1990s, they even joined forces to reach a tacit understanding of dividing the Champions League and the league.

In player transfers, it is common for players from two teams to swap clubs.

Especially the latest transfer, Milan's switch to the Bianconeri on the 21st, caused an uproar in Italian football.

Standing on the edge of the Alpi Stadium, the ears of the Milan players were filled with boos in their black and white jerseys.

This stadium, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, is one of the top stadiums in Italy and is also a five-star stadium certified by UEFA.

The huge sound was suffocating.

But for the Milan generals, this is all home cooking.

They fought here more than once.

Even young Chang Ming and Long Yu are regular visitors here.

Long Yu looked around and nodded: "The atmosphere here is not bad."

Chang Ming added: "Although it is not as good as San Siro, but considering that Juventus is not as good as Milan, it is a perfect match."

The old captain Ambrosini next to him laughed loudly: "Ming, you are becoming more and more like the captain of Milan!"

Old goalkeeper Abbiati smiled and nodded: "Yes, Milan is the best team in Italy. Playing in Milan is a blessing."

The Milan generals were chatting and getting ready to go on the court to warm up.

At this time, Juventus players walked out of the locker room.
