"If you are really under a lot of pressure, Patton, it is up to me to make personnel adjustments and tactical arrangements for the second half. I will let you try to bear this kind of pressure when I have the opportunity in the future." Gasperini patted Chen Zhuo on the shoulder and smiled.
He said.
This is a technique. Gasperini said this to relieve Chen Zhuo's nervousness, which is equivalent to sending a message to Chen Zhuo, that is, as a head coach, Gasperini has a coping strategy.
Such words will undoubtedly make Chen Zhuo feel confident.
"You don't need me to arrange it. Oops, okay, okay, thank you coach for understanding. I am indeed under a lot of pressure. I was fine when I was playing on the field. But when the whistle blew at halftime, I thought that I was not suitable for the second half."
Regarding the targeted tactics, I suddenly became very nervous..." Chen Zhuo took a breath and replied with relief.
Gasperini smiled and said: "I saw it. When you walked off the court, you looked worried. I called you twice and you didn't hear it!"
When Chen Zhuo walked off the court, Gasperini originally wanted to stop him and encourage him to play well in the first half and have another exchange. Unexpectedly, he noticed the nervousness and clarity that Chen Zhuo inadvertently revealed.
Scratching the back of his head, Chen Zhuo said embarrassedly: "The main reason is that I didn't expect coach Allegri to give up using Ronaldinho. Suddenly Milan's rhythm and style have completely changed. The analysis done a few days ago, and yesterday
The surname-specific training was all prepared in vain."
"Haha! How can you think about things like this? Everything is dynamic, and no one can know what will happen next minute. Therefore, in addition to daily training and tactical deployment planning, coaches must also respond to changes that occur on the field in a timely manner.
Adjust!" Gasperini said, pointing to the door of the locker room and said: "Okay, go in!"
Basically, after talking like this, Gasperini understood Chen Zhuo's concerns. The main reason was that Allegri made a "strange move" that caught Chen Zhuo off guard, but it could be heard that Chen Zhuo actually didn't
The fear mentality did not say how uncomfortable this style of play was, nor did he find any objective reasons. Therefore, in fact, Chen Zhuo did not really want to give up.
Chen Zhuo opened the door and let Gasperini go in first. When Gasperini stepped into the door with one foot, he turned and asked: "Patton, think about it again. If you think you can bear this pressure,
I still hope that the rest of the time in the locker room will be left to you, how about it, are you ready?"
Seeing Chen Zhuo follow him through the door, Gasperini smiled and said: "You or me? Now the choice is up to you. I still hope you can overcome the pressure and stand on the top! Of course, I will
Calculate the time and express the thoughts of me and the coaching staff, okay?"
Chen Zhuo slowly closed the door, took a deep breath, nodded to Gasperini, and said: "Thank you coach for the encouragement, it's me! I believe I can do it!"
"Yes! We all believe in you!" Gasperini gave Chen Zhuo a hard push and asked him to go to the tactical board.
(two)
"Thank you coach for your encouragement. Today Milan has changed so much that I feel a little uncomfortable. Thank you Mr. Gasperini for your encouragement, otherwise I would have given up, haha." Chen Zhuo said mockingly,
As an opening statement.
"How could it be! Patton, we guarded them very well in the first half. Didn't you see that the Swedish big men were anxious to use their elbows later? They are the ones who are anxious now! Guys, cheers for Patton!" said the old captain Ma.
Although Colosi did not play, as the leader of the locker room, his words still carry weight.
The players responded to Marco Rossi's words, applauded one after another and expressed their high morale to Chen Zhuo. Players who do not have the responsibility for tactical planning will have a relatively relaxed mentality, especially since the successful defense in the first half has triggered
The "internal strife" at the San Siro Stadium made them even more proud.
"The original plan was to change from 4-4-2 to 3-5-2 in the second half to strengthen Pirlo's attack and side attack. Now the situation has changed slightly. I want to make some adjustments..." Chen
As Zhuo spoke, he laid out the originally planned lineup adjustments for the second half on the tactical board.
In the original plan, personnel adjustments were made in three periods. The personnel adjustments were made at the end of the halftime break. Right back Tomovic was replaced, left midfielder Cristo was replaced, and Kaladze and Daine were replaced.
Li double marked Nokia's three central defenders behind, and Chen Zhuo withdrew from the middle...
That was the plan. The premise of the plan was to start according to the two-tower formation against Fiorentina, with Marco Rossi playing as a defensive midfielder and Chen Zhuo playing as a left midfielder. Since Ronaldinho was not in the starting lineup, Gasperini predicted it.
Milan's combination of "muscular man" and "unstoppable" has been changed to Criscito's starting lineup in advance. Chen Zhuo replaced Marco Rossi in the defensive midfielder. In the first half, he was able to limit the "Ibrahimovic core" and successfully defended it.
Milan's offense is related to Gasperini's timely adjustment.
"My idea is that Tomovic will rest as originally planned and continue to play a double-layered three-guard and double midfielder strategy, but with such an adjustment in personnel..." Chen Zhuo put the symbol for Tomovic on the tactical board.
He took off the number card, put Garson on the tactical board, and explained: "Ranocchia stayed behind, Garson and Dainelli worked together to mark the central defender, just like in the training game, Garson was responsible for closing the door with the double midfielders.
After that, he carried out a sweep, and Dainelli and Ranocchia helped him fill the position..."
Gasperini nodded slightly. This adjustment is good, and he has a basis for cooperation in training matches. Although he only tried it a few times in the training matches before facing Fiorentina, Gasper's advantage is when he plays a powerful forward.
The conscious use of this position is to grab points, sweep and destroy, and the effect is obviously good.
"In this case, Kaladze's position can be raised..." Chen Zhuo directly placed the circular magnetic piece symbolizing Kaladze in the frontcourt, which is the position of the midfielder or rib attacker, and said: "With Kaladze and
Van Nistelrooy is here to challenge Pirlo, and of course, it is also for Kaladze to fight against Gattuso and Seedorf. Kahal is more familiar with their technical characteristics."
Kaladze stood up and said with a smile: "No problem! Patton, you should let me knock Seedorf down first. This old guy can't kick the whole game without me knocking him down!"
"Yes, Kajal, there is one more thing, you insert here, Ruud van Nistelrooy retreats here, once the steal is made, Ruud van Nistelrooy's running distance in the attack is reduced by 10 meters, and Kajal is reduced by more than 30 meters, so
It allows us to save more energy!" Chen Zhuo said.
Looking at his watch, Gasperini whispered a few words to the assistant coach and said: "I agree with Patton's tactical arrangement. I will now arrange to communicate with the fourth official to declare the substitution. Patton, let's talk about the key points. The rest time is only 6.
Minutes!"
(three)
At the beginning of the second half, AC Milan did not make any personnel adjustments, but in terms of positioning, Gattuso and Seedorf moved in front of Pirlo, just like Gasperini analyzed AC before the start of the game.
Milan's stance is like that.
Allegri also saw the changes in Genoa. He knew very well that according to the agreement between Milan and Genoa, Genoa's "executive coach" in the second half was Chen Zhuo, who assigned Garson to the sweeping man-marking central defender.
Kaladze mentioned the frontcourt to contain and steal Pirlo. This is an adjustment routine made by Chen Zhuo! The whole thing seems to be very targeted.
Regarding Chen Zhuo's thoughts, Allegri has basically made a judgment. This is not to force the rhythm of three points, but to try to draw with AC Milan in the away game by strengthening defense!
Throughout the first half, Genoa was unable to play due to the two-wing tactic assisted by the full-backs. Their twin-tower tactic actually did not exert much power. Ruud van Nistelrooy was more like when he played "double free man" with Chen Zhuo in Hamburg.
In this position, there is no side channel to transmit the shells, and Luca Toni's power is also greatly reduced.
If nothing goes wrong, Luca Toni will be replaced at the 15th minute of the second half, and Ruud van Nistelrooy will also be replaced from the 70th to 80th minute. If it is conservative, two defensive midfielders can be replaced.
On the field, retreat to Kaladze and let Gasson go up front to sneak attack and contain. He does not seek to score goals, but only seeks to contain Milan's offensive. No matter what, he must try his best to maintain a draw.
However, Chen Zhuo's tactics were already within Allegri's expectations. He didn't necessarily have to care about the details of Garson and Kaladze switching positions. He only needed to know that Genoa would strengthen their support for Pirlo.
It is enough to press and defend Ibrahimovic, which allows him to make targeted adjustments.
About 10 minutes into the second half, Pirlo didn't touch a single ball. AC Milan's offensive and defensive strategy was changed to two wingers, Antonini and Abate. They received the pass from Nesta or Silva and converted the ball.
The ball was passed to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic no longer remembered to go to Chen Zhuo, but protected the ball and passed it backwards to Boateng and Robinho. At this time, Gattuso and Seedorf had already stepped forward.
The response forced Kaladze and Ruud van Nistelrooy to retreat and participate in the defense.
Although Pirlo did not have the ball, he restrained Kaladze from running back and forth. Although Ruud van Nistelrooy did not have to participate in defending Ibrahimovic and Robinho, his running distance did not decrease at all.
After AC Milan adjusted its position in this way, Luca Toni, who had been restraining the opponent's two central defenders, also under the command of Chen Zhuo, retreated and stood near Pirlo when defending, and moved towards Nesta and Xi when attacking.
Silva moved in front and behind. Compared with the first half, Luca Toni's running was also mobilized by Milan!
(Four)
It is difficult to penetrate the double defensive midfielder and the two layers of three defenders at once. Under the command of Allegri's gestures, Milan's offensive system distributes the ball more to the two wings.
Just like when Genoa beat Parma and Fiorentina, Abate and Antonini frequently cut inside, Boateng and Robinho moved more to the two wings, Gattuso and Seedorf have already
Pressing through the midfield, Milan's entire offensive system pushed Criscito and Raphinha to the back step by step.
In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Milan's possession time actually reached 75, accounting for three-quarters, which is an overwhelming proportion. The degree of passivity of Genoa is evident.
AC Milan is indeed a European giant. When it has nothing to do with them, people always point fingers at the wealthy teams, but when Hong Kong fans watch this game sweating for Genoa, every AC Milan attack
, they will all break into a cold sweat!
In the 15th minute of the second half, Genoa made their second substitution. Luca Toni came off the field and replaced Chico, a "central defender killer" who could be good at offense and defense. Chico replaced Garson as the marking center back, leaving Kaladze and Garson to play.
Strengthening the defense of the left and right wings respectively, the entire formation became 5-4-1, leaving only Ruud van Nistelrooy to hold Pirlo's position, both offensive and defensive.
Basically, by now, Genoa has been compressed into a turtle shell by AC Milan. Except for Ruud, the rest of the players on the field have been compressed into their own half.
Chen Zhuo's two substitutions in the second half were both "foreshadowing" of the offense. However, as Milan strengthened the possession time through further running and pressing style, both Gasson and Chicao were just tired of defending.
There's no way we can get past half court!
As the situation of AC Milan improved, the San Siro home fans were not as impulsive as they were in the first half. They began to cheer for every attack of Milan and began to sing the majestic Milan war hymn.
(five)
In the 30th minute of the second half and the 75th minute of the game, the Genoa team replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy as planned, put Garson on the forward line, and replaced Zukunic to continue to strengthen the defense on the wing and at the same time continue to
Retaining the "foreshadowing" of the attack, of course, this is also Genoa's last card.
It was only when Genoa had used up all their substitution quotas that Allegri began to make some moves!
There was a dead ball about 3 minutes after Genoa's substitution, that is, in the 78th minute of the game, AC Milan made the first personnel adjustment of the game, replacing the veteran Seedorf, but the one he replaced was even better than Seedorf.
There is the old Inzaghi. For the appearance of the 37-year-old former passer, the San Siro Stadium burst into warm cheers. Even the Genoa fans in the away stands couldn't help but follow the home fans and stand up and applaud to pay tribute to Inzaghi.
Live TV cameras were also looking for familiar faces on the court. Baggio, wearing sunglasses and a mustache, also led the Hong Kong football team in a standing ovation. This applause has transcended the team and the country.
A genuine respect in the football world.
A number was printed at the bottom of the live TV screen. According to current statistics, AC Milan's ball possession rate has reached 78, and Genoa's ball possession rate is only a pitiful 22. After the start of the second half, Milan has a total of 6 corner kicks and 3 frontcourt free kicks.
, 5 of 11 shots were on target, and these statistics of the opponent Genoa team were all shocking 0.
"Pretty statistics are useless. This is a football match. The final decision is the score. In the last 12 minutes, Allegri is only one goal away from proving the success of his tactics."
Yes!" Gilardiza, who is known as a "venomous tongue", is quite right in saying this.
Allegri abandoned Ronaldinho and Pato's running tactics around Ibrahimovic. From the scene, the advantage is very obvious, but as Gilardiza said, this is football, and what ultimately determines victory, defeat, honor and disgrace is
