In the Lazio dressing room, Chang Sheng was not throwing things and slamming the table in frustration as those daydreaming Italians imagined.
He seemed very calm.
He didn't even criticize the players for their scoreless performance in the first half.
From the moment all the players entered the locker room, Chang Sheng began to talk to them about the tactical arrangements.
Regarding AC Milan, the team's attitude is right, so he has nothing to be unhappy about.
You should always allow your opponents to perform well...
It's not surprising that AC Milan didn't concede a goal.
The impact of Calciopoli is gradually weakening, and the teams that were hit hard by the Calciopoli are gradually recovering, with AC Milan and Juventus being the representatives.
AC Milan finally won the league championship this season, which is a good proof.
So now AC Milan is indeed a strong team.
You must use the correct attitude to face such an opponent, otherwise you may lose.
The key is how to break AC Milan's zone defense.
When AC Milan is only responsible for defending their respective areas, there is little point in passing back and forth to look for opportunities.
What Lazio needs is forward passing.
The winning strategy is to first compress AC Milan's three lines.
Especially their two lines of defense in front of the penalty area.
When the distance between the two defense lines is very close and the two defense lines are compressed into one line, they suddenly make a direct pass and penetrate AC Milan's defense line.
Then the rest of the work is left to the strikers.
This requires Lazio to make as many direct passes as possible, and they must have the ability to pass through at every position, and the direct passes must be good.
This is exactly what Lazio's new tactics can do.
Modric, Ledesma and Hernanes, who started this game, all have this ability.
In addition, David Silva and Gotze can also do it, and they will push forward after passing the ball directly, pulling AC Milan's defense line and opening up space, creating better passing opportunities for other players.
This is the adjustment Chang Sheng made.
※※※
After the start of the second half, Lazio's tactics caused a lot of trouble for AC Milan.
Their through ball made AC Milan's goal dangerous.
Allegri had to make an adjustment in the 60th minute.
He replaced Ronaldinho, who started the game, and replaced him with Ghanaian midfielder Boateng.
Removed a creative organization at home and replaced him with a muscular midfielder.
It's obvious what Allegri wants to do.
He wants to strengthen his defense. He believes that Ronaldinho is the team's defensive weakness on the court.
Boateng is young, physically stronger, has strong running ability, and can form a sweep in front of the back line.
Ronaldinho can't do these jobs.
He can still use it when fighting back.
The problem is that with Lazio's current offensive, AC Milan can't even counterattack.
So what's the use of keeping Ronaldinho on the pitch?
When Ronaldinho was replaced, the expression on his face was not very happy.
He believed that he had become a victim of the team's tactics.
He feels that if he continues to stay on the court, he should be able to score goals for the team, whether he scores them himself or assists others. Anyway, he can always score goals.
As a result, Allegri has replaced him now!
Let him lose the opportunity to make contributions!
The whole world saw Ronaldinho's gloomy expression when he came off the field, but Allegri did not.
He didn't even shake Ronaldinho's hand to appease him.
Chang Sheng withdrew his gaze towards the AC Milan coaching bench.
It seems that Allegri made up his mind to give up Ronaldinho from this game with himself...
Boateng's rise to power was also his own...
He suddenly felt that he had created the history that he would become familiar with in the future.
※※※
Ronaldinho's dissatisfaction with Allegri was an episode and had no impact on the game. The impact will be a matter of the future.
After Boateng came on the court, AC Milan's ability to sweep in front of the penalty area was strengthened.
Especially the defensive thickness in the middle has been increased.
But this didn't change their ending.
They strengthened their defense in the middle, and Lazio went wide.
After Gotze and Azpilicueta played two-on-ones on the right, Azpilicueta made a pass. Cavani followed up in the middle and smashed the football into the goal with his head!
"Cavani!!" the commentator Caressa shouted.
Deafening shouts erupted in Rome's Stadio Olimpico. Lazio fans were chanting Cavani's name, just like Caressa.
※※※
But Allegri on the sidelines was very unhappy because he felt that he had been deceived by Chang Sheng!
Lazio's various performances in the second half made people believe that they would tear apart AC Milan's defense from the center.
That's why he replaced Ronaldinho and replaced him with Boateng, just to strengthen the defense in the middle.
Who would have thought that Lazio would go wide!
this……
Allegri has a sense of sadness and anger that "you don't follow the rules".
For this simple cross from the wing, if it was normal, AC Milan would have no problem defending it.
Only this time, AC Milan players and Allegri fell into a misunderstanding and formed a sense of inertia, thinking that Lazio would attack the center, so they also concentrated in the center. They deployed heavy troops here, intending to compete with Lazio
Fight to the death.
Unexpectedly, Lazio did not struggle with them in the middle, and Byte chose the wing.
Another quick wing attack, simple, fast, and very concisely passed the football to the center, and then Cavani headed the ball, and the football went in...
Not to mention AC Milan, just everyone else. Who would have thought that Lazio, who was used to playing delicate passing and cutting coordination, would suddenly play simple and rough?
So no wonder people feel aggrieved.
※※※
After Cavani scored a goal, AC Milan was in a difficult situation.
Most of their players on the court are defensive players. These players can defend very hard, but it is more difficult for them to organize an offense...
Ronaldinho, who was sitting on the bench, looked at Allegri standing on the sidelines with a sneer.
My heart told you to replace me, are you an idiot now?
Want to attack, want to equalize the score?
No one!
※※※
Allegri thought for a while on the sidelines and then shouted Boateng's name loudly.
After Boateng looked over, he made a bold move forward.
He pushed Boateng to the offensive end. He made full use of Boateng's good health and endurance. He used these to attack Lazio's defense.
This idea has already taken shape and later pushed Boateng into offensive tactics.
It's just that this kind of slap on the forehead idea, without training and practice, is destined to be impossible to play a role in this pizza. It belongs to far water, and far water cannot quench the near thirst.
Boateng's forward pressure caused another problem in the middle of AC Milan's defense.
So Lazio seized this loophole and scored another victory!
2:0!
Lazio is basically guaranteed victory.
※※※
Allegri lowered his head.
It's not like he's admitting defeat.
AC Milan is definitely losing this game.
But he learned lessons from this failure that could lead to victory.
Boateng's performance turned out to be okay after being promoted.
This time it was a last-minute idea. He believed that if he was given some time to adapt this tactic, it would be effective.
As a result, there seems to be no room for Ronaldinho to survive in his own team.
What his AC Milan needs is a muscular midfielder. Pirlo can be the organizer. The others are all good at defense and "black and hard" who can rush and grab. They can protect Pirlo and attack the opponent's attack.
Line of defense...
This is all a new idea.
The previous AC Milan midfielders were a group of artists. At their peak, they were Ancelotti's four "number ten", Pirlo, Rivaldo, Seedorf and Rui Costa.
Their midfield is full of creativity.
But with the departure of Kaká and Rui Costa and the aging of Seedorf, their midfield control is declining.
Allegri believes that AC Milan's previous poor results are related to this.
If it is impossible to expect AC Milan's midfielder to play like before, where can AC Milan find Kaká now? Pato had high hopes, but ended up getting injured. Gourcuff was also considered "
"New Kaka", but as a result, he had an improper training attitude and lacked professionalism.
There are many AC Milan fans who miss that time, but they don't realize that it can never come back again.
Allegri realizes this, AC Milan must now strengthen the control of the midfield. Since it cannot take the previous path, then take the path of muscle strength.
Although this game was lost to Lazio, it gave such inspiration.
Allegri felt that the trip was worthwhile.
So when the final defeat came, many AC Milan fans seemed unwilling to do so, but Allegri accepted the result calmly.
He took the initiative to shake hands with Chang Sheng.
He noticed Ronaldinho's gloating eyes, his face was expressionless, and he shrugged in his mind.
Laugh, laugh, you will be going back to Brazil soon!
This low-key, humble and even humble coach of AC Milan has in his heart pronounced a death sentence on Ronaldinho's career in Europe.
※※※
Lazio defeated AC Milan at home. After four league rounds, they won all four games and accumulated 12 points, ranking first in the league.
Two points ahead of second-placed Inter Milan.
More importantly, Lazio has achieved four consecutive victories this season. Coupled with their 38-game unbeaten streak last season and the last three rounds of the 2008-2009 season, Lazio has now been unbeaten in 45 league games.
!
This is an amazing result.
Although in Italy, there is AC Milan's 58-match unbeaten streak, and in the five major European leagues, there is Chang Sheng's 65-match unbeaten record led by Valencia. Forty-five games doesn't seem to be that big of a deal.
But in fact, in a league that pays more and more attention to defense and has more and more accidents, it is not easy for Lazio to be undefeated in 45 league games.
At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng was asked this question and he plucked his ears.
"Really? I don't care about the record. I've already set a record of unbeaten streaks, and I'm not interested in breaking it. I'm interested in another record now."
The reporters' appetites were whetted by him.
They all asked him what his record was.
Chang Sheng smiled and said, "No comment!"
No comment again!
Last time, reporters could find out through other channels, but this time, they were not so lucky...
This record is still in Chang Sheng's heart, and he hasn't told anyone. (To be continued...)
