Chen Zhuo, who received the pass, made a long pass before Gattuso blocked it in place. With this long pass, the two full-backs started quickly. Nesta directed the bird-catching brother.
Papastathopoulos pushed forward to prevent Tony from getting the ball, then turned around comfortably and shouted for the wing to quickly return to defense.
It is also a "defensive counterattack". The biggest feature of Italian-style defensive counterattacks, especially Italian-style long-pass defensive counterattacks, is that they are "fatal" defensive counterattacks. They are not extremely threatening, but fatal!
Almost every Italian player has been trained in the defensive counterattack tactical system since their youth training days. Therefore, Italians have a unique understanding of defensive counterattacks. Especially this kind of long pass counterattack, they must be quite confident before they can play it.
This kind of cooperation comes from it!
Pirlo, who dropped back from the defensive midfielder position to help defend, suddenly felt that Toni's positioning and passing route were so familiar. Suddenly, Pirlo understood the purpose and intention of the ** team's change of formation in the second half.
(two)
Pirlo suddenly understood that the purpose of this change was to change the use of Luca Toni, and this routine had already been seen by Pirlo in the distant 01 season. Nine years ago, that season in
Unable to gain a foothold in Inter Milan, Pirlo returned to Brescia on loan, which felt like a lifetime ago.
In Brescia in the 2001 season, the 24-year-old Luca Toni and the then 22-year-old Pirlo once played side by side, and that season was also the season when Pirlo and Luca Toni improved dramatically. After that season, Pirlo moved to AC Milan and became the main force.
, a few years later Luca Toni also became a late bloomer and became the main shooter of the Italian league and national team.
This leap forward is all due to one person, the passing coach who belongs to Italy and world football, Roberto Baggio! Pirlo and Luca Toni both truly enhanced their understanding of football under Baggio's careful guidance.
Comprehended!
Like Pirlo, Luca Toni also regarded Baggio as his football mentor. He also frankly admitted that he only knew how to play football with his brain after meeting Baggio. Moreover, Baggio was also Luca Toni's spiritual mentor. Later, Luka Toni
Cattoni was abandoned by Brescia due to a knee injury and moved to Palermo, a second division team that had not been promoted to Serie A in 30 years. Tony, who was almost 19 years old at the time, was frustrated and wanted to give up, but Baggio overcame the injury on his own.
Tony's personal experience with the disease motivated and inspired him.
In the end, the striker won the Italian Serie B Golden Boot at the age of 18 and became the biggest contributor to Palermo, which had not been promoted to Serie A in 30 years. Then he contributed a goal in Florence in the first season of Serie A the following year.
He scored 31 goals and won the European Golden Boot in the season when he was 18 years old. He was a "late bloomer".
Nine years ago at Brescia, coach Mazzoni designed a tactic around Baggio, and the participants in that tactic were none other than Baggio, Luca Toni and Pirlo himself!
(three)
Luca Toni in the Brescia era was not an "all-around forward". In the tactical plan studied and designed by coach Mazzoni for Baggio, the real task of No. 9 Luca Toni is to use his tall body to block the opponent's defensive players.
So that No. 10 Baggio can score.
Actually, the first step is to let Luca Toni act as a "blue collar" to strengthen the defense and open up space for the Argentine young man Palacio to counterattack!
Neither Pirlo on the field nor Allegri off the field thought that Luca Toni, who had already had great success, would actually put aside his body to help these unknown teammates act as a support point. That was the unknown Toni back then.
Work as a blue-collar worker and a coolie for the famous Baggio!
You know, since winning the "European Golden Boot Award" in the 2006 season, it is impossible for any team to use this top scorer as a coolie and blue-collar worker. Therefore, in this game, the two central defenders Nesta
The main responsibility of the two of them, Papastathopoulos, is to freeze this sharp-sense striker.
Therefore, everyone unconsciously neglected the Argentinian kid who had not even touched the ball for ten minutes...
Under the double-team of Nesta and Papastathopoulos, Tony struggled to stop the ball with his chest and passed it to Palacio. The Argentinian kid took advantage of the situation and rushed into the penalty area...
The extremely fast Pato defended well, and his flying tackle in front of the penalty area destroyed Palacio's offense...
"Du~~~" As Palacio fell to the ground in pain, the referee blew the whistle and awarded Milan a foul. The ** team won a direct free kick on the line of the penalty area. Pato was also given a yellow card. During the warm-up match
It's not particularly harsh, otherwise a red card would have been justified.
Fortunately, Pato defended in time, and there was only one step left, which was a fatal single shot or a penalty kick...
But... is there any difference between a direct free kick on the line of the penalty area and a single kick or a penalty kick?
(Four)
There is still a difference. The difference is that if Pato had not stopped Palacio with a foul, it would have been his first goal in the league, and the free kick obtained by the foul was taken by Chen Zhuolai.
Abbiati stood on the goal line and first made two jumps to the left and right respectively. Yes, today's competitive state is not bad, isn't it just a blind spot? Saving high-altitude balls is originally his strength, blind spots
Have no fear! The reason why Chen Zhuo didn’t make a save on that long-range shot in the first half was really because of his carelessness and mistakes.
During the halftime break, the three people Allegri criticized were Ronaldinho, Gattuso and Abbiati.
In Allegri's opinion, the first person responsible for the goal conceded in the first half was Ronaldinho. After being intercepted, chasing back and interfering would not have allowed Chen Zhuo to adjust and pass the ball so comfortably.
Then there is Gattuso, who should have fouled decisively on that ball! The third one is Abbiati. Abbiati has a chronic problem of being distracted. Unexpectedly, he is still making this mistake at the age of 33!
I won’t talk about the first two. For Abbiati, on the first day he joined the team, he practiced alone with Chen Zhuo. The two of them lived in the same dormitory for more than a week, and they had no relationship with each other.
After many exchanges and additional training, it is said that Chen Zhuo’s long-range shots must be understood. Moreover, Abbiati’s instant reaction speed and ability to save high-altitude balls are better than those of Di Di in the Milan club.
Da!
It’s also the reason why no one is perfect. He has excellent instant reaction speed and ability to save high-altitude balls. He has his own way of dealing with one-on-one balls and the timing of his attack is just right. Although he has these excellent qualities, he cannot play the main role in the Italian national team. This is the biggest reason.
It's because Abbiati is prone to injuries and he occasionally makes some incredible low-level mistakes. For example, he blocked a single shot a few minutes ago, but then inexplicably shot a non-threatening cross into his own home a few minutes later.
door……
As early as the 1998 season, the 21-year-old Abbiati squeezed out German goalkeeper Lehmann and wore Milan's No. 1 jersey. Unfortunately, the young Abbiati could not gain the trust of the old Maldini, and the old horse left.
Later, Ancelotti was willing to use Abbiati, but Abbiati's accidental injury allowed Dida to secure his main position. Abbiati could only rely on loaning to other teams to maintain competitive status...
Sometimes life is like this, one step is not smooth, every step is not smooth, and in the ups and downs, 12 years have passed. Abbiati is already 33 years old, and his youth is gone.
(five)
After the conductor lined up the wall, Abbiati stood on the goal line like a taut bowstring. He practiced with Chen Zhuo many times during the week. He had basically figured out some of Chen Zhuo's free kick rules.
In the past, this guy always took a blind spot from outside the wall, but now he turned downwards from above the wall and hit the target from above the beam.
After field training combined with watching videos of his previous goals, Abbiati discovered that the pattern of Chen Zhuo's "upgraded" corner shot lies in which side of the central axis his shot prefers when it flies over the wall.
, if the central axis flies to the left, it will spin to the left corner, and if the central axis flies to the right, it will spin to the right corner...
Therefore, the human wall arranged by Abbiati is six. An even number of human walls makes it easier to see clearly the position at the moment when flying over the head of the human wall! Although the distance is short, the reaction speed left for oneself is only a few tenths of a second or even zero point zero.
It took only a few seconds, but his excellent jumping ability and high-altitude fighting ability still gave Abbiati a lot of confidence!
As the referee blew the whistle, Chen Zhuo started to run...
