Judging from his appearance, Allegri is not a desperate coach. He has an embarrassing face. He is wise and calm by nature, and full of analytical skills. His tactical philosophy is to be steady and undefeated.
, seek victory in stability.
For almost all championship teams, solid defense is a basic element. Allegri wants to build AC Milan into a whole, and then give full play to the characteristics of each player in the whole to achieve the effect of integrating everything.
From this perspective, the media analyzed that Allegri's abandonment of Ronaldinho and Pato in order to support Ibrahimovic was a "big gamble". Allegri himself was not
Approved.
From Allegri's perspective, it makes sense for him to give up Pirlo, who is in declining form, as the core of the team.
First of all, with Pirlo as the core of the tactics, the price of taking the ball in the midfielder position is that you have to take risks. As the organizing midfielder and the source of attack, Pirlo will often take the ball within 30 meters of his own goal.
The ball and the ball, when the opponent causes Milan to lose the ball through the pressure and steal of "Pirlo", it will lead to a direct threat.
To reach Milan's goal, this requires the two central defenders to take turns to help Pirlo defend and fill the position. However, the players who can have this kind of awareness, in addition to Nesta in Milan, is Thiago Silva, the young
Papa discovered in the previous games that he does not yet have this ability, which limits Milan's central defender.
The next question is, when Pirlo is the core of the offensive organization, it is easy for the opponent to form a defensive posture. The reason is also very simple. Your entire team is pressing up from the back line. Can I still respond?
Defense? Therefore, Milan needs to face the problem of breaking through intensive defense for a long time. Especially when Shevchenko transferred to Inzaghi and there were too many injuries, Milan often had the advantage but failed to score.
It is always said that Ancelotti created the defensive midfielder tactics of Pirlo, and won the double championship in 2003 and
The UEFA Champions League championship in 2007 proves it. However, it must be said that among AC Milan, which has reached the Champions League finals three times and won twice in the Ancelotti era, it is not only Pirlo who performed well, but also Shevchenko, Inzaghi and Kaká.
It is at its peak, and both Maldini and Cafu are still young, which is completely different from Milan's lineup in the past two seasons.
Let’s talk about the Ancelotti era. Even when he reached three Champions League finals and won two championships, in the first 10 years of the 21st century, the Serie A championship was only won once in the 0304 season. In the following six seasons,
The Serie A championship has missed out on Milan, which also shows that this tactic is not so omnipotent!
Allegri did not like the "Ronaldo-Pato-Boriello" trident created by Leonardo who coached last season. Even if this trident offensive system is not used, Milan's player lineup
It must be at the level of the top three. Finishing third with 12 points behind the champion is no improvement over Ancelotti last season. This is also the reason why Leonardo was dismissed. For Berlusconi and Galli
For Yanni, their request is very simple, that is, the Serie A championship!
(two)
The reason why I chose Allegri was mainly based on my trust in Allegri's tactical theory system. Galliani is not a layman. He also has deep knowledge in football tactical theory! And Milan is not like Real Madrid.
They did not place special emphasis on the head coach's past performance, but mainly emphasized the tactical theory system.
Chen Zhuo still understands and recognizes Allegri's tactical theory system. It is different from the Milan style in the era of Ancelotti and Leonardo. At that time, they emphasized "pass-control-attack-grab"
In combination, Pirlo and Rui Costa are the passers, Kaká and Shevchenko are the control players, Inzaghi is the one who grabs points in front of the goal, Gattus Sosidov is the interceptor and stealer, and the list goes on and on.
Allegri's tactical system emphasizes one word, "run"! During the summer training camp, Allegri repeatedly emphasized that the midfield no longer relies on one person to organize, and the entire team runs together.
All you need to do is to catch the ball while running, don't lose it and then pass it out. This pass is not necessarily a threatening pass, it is just a point in the whole set of mobilizing the opponent, so there is no need
If you have the talent of Pirlo or Ronaldinho or the footwork of Rui Costa, you just need to be fast, accurate, steady, and don't make mistakes. If a set of passing and running does not achieve the expected results, double or three midfielders in the midfield
You can retreat quickly and hit the ball back to the backcourt to reorganize. In this way, even if the opponent gets the ball and wants to counterattack, the midfielder with the combination of "muscular man" and "unstoppable" will not be penetrated by one hit.
As for how to play around the "Ibrahimovic core", Chen Zhuo was sent to Genoa before participating in joint training. Ruud van Nistelrooy had practiced together several times. He introduced to Chen Zhuo that it was better to "run" and hit the ball.
In the frontcourt, rely on Ibrahimovic’s excellent ball-protecting ability
Control the ball, press the running position as a whole, and then release the ball. As mentioned just now, all players do not dribble too much after getting the ball, but try to come out as early as possible and rely on non-stop running and passing to drive the opposite defense.
When the opponent has a vulnerability, it will be fatal with one blow.
This style of play is similar to Gasperini's "Catch the Sea Tactics". The three defensive midfielders and two central defenders are strong, and the other players are the waves in front. However, the core point of the entire tactic is Ibrahimovic, and the lighthouse is in
In the sea, not on the shore.
Compared with the "leather core" in Ancelotti's era, the source of the entire offense has been moved from the own half to the opponent's half. In this way, even if there is a steal during the offense, there will be no "rushing Pirlo" tactics.
leading to serious consequences.
With the reasonable support of the tactical theoretical system, Allegri certainly requires the players to adapt to the tactics. For Ronaldinho and Pato, they are both players with strong technical abilities, as long as they can integrate into the tactical system through reasonable running.
, Allegri believes that this tactic will definitely bring glory to AC Milan for more than one season!
From the training camp to the warm-up matches and then to the four rounds of games, Allegri has given the players two months of running-in time. However, the adaptation of individual players is obviously still very poor. Ronaldinho still refuses to run.
Tuo is still running around, and the young center back Papa still doesn't know how to run.
In fact, Allegri also bought time for Ibrahimovic through compromises with Ronaldinho and Pato in the previous rounds. Only when Ibrahimovic's core exerts the tactical power Allegri expected in training can he boldly take advantage of Ronaldinho and Pato.
Ronaldinho and Pato were put on the bench, putting the entire burden on Ibrahimovic's shoulders! If Ronaldinho and Pato were taken down before Ibrahimovic's core system was fully integrated, it might not be 1 win and 2 draws.
If you lose 1, the start may be even worse!
Allegri was justified in defeating Ronaldinho in the game against Genoa. In the warm-up match against Genoa, the loophole came from Ronaldinho. This is obvious to all!
In any case, in today's game, Allegri fought against all odds to win the former World Footballer. It was basically the debut of "Ibrahimovic core" without interference.
This is the first use of the tactical system that transitions from "core" to "skin containment". From many aspects, Allegri is determined to win this game!

The AC Milan team running and the AC Milan team in the warm-up match really gave the Genoa team a different feeling!
Slightly different from the position envisaged by Gasperini, Gattuso and Seedorf did not position on the ribs in front of Pirlo, but one on the left and one on the right parallel to Pirlo, forming a three-back midfielder.
Positioning in parallel, the two full-backs Antonini and Abate are not parallel to the two central defenders, but in front of the three defensive midfielders, flush with Boateng who is playing the attacking midfielder. In front are Robinho and
Ibrahimovic.
If it is laid out on the tactical board, the entire AC Milan formation is from back to front. When defending, it is a 4-3-1-2 position. However, when attacking, it is a 2-3-3-2 position!
The starting players arranged by Gasperini are four defenders: Kaladze, Dainelli, Ranocchia, Tomovic, double midfielders Chen Zhuo and Veloso, left midfielder Criscito, right midfielder Rafini
Asia, the forwards are the twin towers Luca Toni and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
This is an adjustment made after seeing AC Milan's starting lineup. Marco Rossi, the old captain who originally started, withdrew, Chen Zhuo was adjusted from the left midfielder in the last game to the midfielder, and Criscito continued to start at the left midfielder.
The reason for this adjustment is also because Gasperini believes that AC Milan's "muscular man" + "unstoppable" lineup will make the old captain Marco Rossi suffer in both confrontation and running.
For Genoa, when the ball reaches the feet of Ibrahimovic and Robinho, the double midfielders must block and press. Then they pass the ball and pass it to Boateng behind, and cut in from the wing.
With Antonini and Abate, the double defensive midfielders naturally cannot rob five of them. In the twin towers, Luca Toni and Ruud van Nistelrooy took turns to retreat back to counterattack, and the two full-backs Criscito and Rafinha also had to attack.
Move closer to the middle to implement counterattack.
When the midfielders of both sides are evenly matched, the ball starts to move backwards. At this time, it is passed to Pirlo. Even if he passes slowly and slowly at first sight, there is no big risk, not only because there are people around him.
Several "muscle men" were coordinating the protection, but also because Antonini and Abate had already started to move to the two wings.
Running, Boateng and Robinho are also running in the ribs. At this time, Cristo and Rafinha must withdraw to the side to defend these "undead", Chen Zhuo and
If Veloso goes up to press one, he won't have enough troops. If he goes up to press at the same time, Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt will be left unmarked and create a gap.
This set of running tactics almost instantly neutralized the power of Genoa's twin tower formation, and during Milan's large-scale running, the 34-year-old Ruud van Nistelrooy and the 33-year-old Toni soon became unable to keep up.
Milan's fast pace made it seem clumsy. Under the command of Gasperini, Toni pushed forward with a single point, and Ruud van Nistelrooy returned to the midfield position to form a midfield triangle with Chen Zhuo and Veloso, which was barely able to resist Allego.
This new set of tactics.
Even the "venomous" Gilardizza had to admit that when Ronaldinho was not on the court, AC Milan not only did not lose its spirit because of the loss of this genius, but also because of the players' active running and ball control, AC Milan
He seemed more proactive on the scene.
"Now that we have reached the decisive stage, Allegri is unwilling to give up the running tactics he insisted on in Atlanta. In his opinion, if you can't move, you are not playing football. However, Ronaldinho has grown from a toddler to
At that time, he insisted on his style of not running without the ball, and this style also made him win the World Footballer. From this perspective
, just in the first half of the season, Berlusconi and Galliani have to make a choice, who will leave and who will stay, Allegri or Ronaldinho..." Gilardiza revealed now.
The focus of AC Milan's conflict is indeed as he said. Allegri, who insists on running without the ball, and Ronaldinho, who refuses to run without the ball, are already incompatible!

Italian fans all have a certain degree of tactical literacy, but it doesn't mean that just picking out a random fan and becoming a coach will understand Allegri. A considerable number of current AC Milan fans are fans of Ronaldinho.
After entering the field, Ronaldinho fans held up Ronaldinho's head and shouted at Allegri. When AC Milan and Genoa entered a stalemate stage with each other's offense and defense, these fans even shouted rhythmically for Ronaldinho.
Erdinho's name, putting pressure on Allegri.
Not only Ronaldinho's fans were booing, but also fans of "Duck" Pato, and fans of Leonardo's "trident" tactics last season. They were all booing in a noisy manner, and some called for Pato.
Those who came forward include those who asked Milan to sell Borriello, and others who held up Leonardo's head to ask for the change of coach at Milan club. There are all kinds of people.
Although the Genoa team was unable to use the power of the twin tower tactics in the away game, the defensive system performed very well, especially Chen Zhuo who was marking Ibrahimovic on the court. Not only did Ibrahimovic feel uncomfortable defensively, but he also had a long break after a steal.
The pass almost posed a threat to AC Milan's goal. As Ruud van Nistelrooy retreated into the backcourt, Luca Toni was unable to stand alone under the double-team of Nesta and Thiago Silva. In the end, he failed to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
In the entire first half of the game, Ibrahimovic and Chen Zhuo had the most direct "conversations". There were as many times in total, once in less than two minutes. Among them, 11 times Ibrahimovic did not stop control, but continued without stopping.
In the back pass, Ibrahimovic tried to stop the ball and get rid of it 6 times, but all of them were destroyed by Chen Zhuo, and he never succeeded!
However, they managed to get rid of Chen Zhuo with 4 one-twos against the wall, but they were unable to continue to advance due to the cooperation of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Veloso. They could only pass the ball back again, and were whistled by the referee in 3 attacks.
Penalty fouls were made, and in the end, Chen Zhuo made three mistakes and directly intercepted the ball to launch a counterattack, including the time when Luca Toni passed the ball long.
From the statistical analysis of the first half, the success rate of "Ibrahimovic Core" in the one-on-one dialogue with Chen Zhuo was as low as a devastating value. Milan had a total of four threatening offensives in the first half, three of which were by
Pirlo's wonderful pass to Robinho, and Abate's long-distance run from the right, have nothing to do with Ibrahimovic, the core Allegri wants to support even if he wants to destroy Ronaldinho and Pato!
When the players from both sides walked into the tunnel at the end of the first half at 0:0, the Milan home audience collectively shouted slogans for Ibrahimovic to get out and Allegri to get out, which made the Milan players feel very depressed.
