"Really? This is really interesting..." Allegri heard Tassotti report to him that Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic were choking in the locker room, but that Inzaghi didn't know whether he said it intentionally or unintentionally.
With this statement, Allegri felt that there was something to be done.
The match against Lecce was in the round, and the previous nineteen rounds happened to be the end of the first cycle. In the previous 19 rounds, AC Milan scored a total of 34 goals, which was also the most goals among the Serie A teams.
Among individual goals, Ibrahimovic scored the most goals with 7, then Pato and Robinho both scored 6. The three of them scored 19 goals, accounting for more than half of the total goals. The rest
The 15 goals were relatively scattered, and were completed by 8 main players and substitutes. Except for Ronaldinho who scored 4 goals, the rest were all one or two.
As for the Genoa team, their number of goals is 1, which is 7 less than Milan, but their firepower is also more concentrated. Luca Toni and Chen Zhuo both scored 7 goals, and Ruud van Nistelrooy scored 6 goals. The three of them combined are one,
The combined goals scored by Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy are close to half of Genoa's goals. It's no wonder that Genoa didn't score a single goal in the two rounds they left.
It is indeed a pity that these two firepower points are only used in the Italian Cup and Champions League...
Although it is not like using the combination of "Chen Zhuofanni" to influence the already stable formation, it is not impossible to use them to "stimulate" Ibrahimovic.
The away game against Lecce was more difficult than Allegri expected. The starting lineup of Van Bommel and Cassano still had some problems with the team's cooperation, especially the cooperation between the two of them and Ibrahimovic was still somewhat inadequate.
Smooth.
In the first cycle, Milan beat Lecce 4:0, but the credit for that game went to the trident of Ronaldinho, Borriello and Pato. Now Ronaldinho and Borriello have left, and Pato has recovered from injury.
Sitting on the bench, although Ibrahimovic was very excited, it seemed that he did not wear shooting boots today, and his shots in the first half were either high or wide.
Moreover, Milan's defense was not focused enough at the start of the day. In the 13th minute of the first half, Lecce's cold shot caught Abbiati off guard. Then they retreated to defense. For more than a few minutes into the second half, Milan was still lagging behind.
One ball.
"Patton!" Allegri turned his head and shouted from the sidelines: "Go to warm up, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Pato, all three of you!"
(two)
After a five-minute warm-up, Allegri pulled Chen Zhuo and told him: "Do you remember your last game in Genoa, the game against Naples? Play like that, and take a long shot when you get the ball! Ten
In a few minutes, try to hit five to six long-range shots. You can see the distance yourself. Don’t be too conservative. 40 meters or even 45 meters will do!”
Allegri, who has been paying attention to Chen Zhuo, believes that Gasperini's arrangements for Chen Zhuo are still too conservative and that he should fully unleash his offensive capabilities, especially long-range shots. The probability of Chen Zhuo being mounted within 35 meters
As high as 90%, it can reach 70% from about 40 meters. This probability is already a terrifying probability. Taking into account the goalkeeper factor, even if Chen Zhuo's goal rate from long-range shots from 40 meters or above reaches 30%, then
He also scored one goal from three shots!
Unlike Gasperini who consciously restricted Chen Zhuo's long-range shots, Allegri wanted to encourage Chen Zhuo to fire more. When Galliani recommended Chen Zhuo to him, Allegri just took a fancy to Chen Zhuo.
Chen Zhuo's precise free kicks and ultra-long-distance shots. In the game against AC Milan, Chen Zhuo's tactic of hitting the cover and hitting the goal directly after the midfield kick was only used once. What a pity!
"It seems that after you came on the field, you adjusted to 4-3-2-1, but you have to understand that your replacement of Cassano is a counter substitution. You are a forward, and your task is to score goals! This is AC Milan
, it’s not Hamburg, it’s not Genoa, it’s not Hong Kong, you don’t have to think about any defensive issues at all, understand?” Allegri warned.
Chen Zhuo nodded vigorously and said: "Understood! Get the ball in!"
"When the Swede is in a better position, you have to pass it to him. Otherwise, I will punish you..." Allegri finally talked about the cooperation between Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic. From his words,
He mainly let Chen Zhuo score the goal. As for Ibrahimovic, without Chen Zhuo's assist, he would have figured out a way by himself. He is not the kind of striker who simply waits for the ball.
It's good to be stimulated like this!
(three)
Of course, this kind of attempt is still a bit risky. The lineup that stabilized in the first half of the season handed the ball to Ibrahimovic on the offensive end, and he organized and planned it. In the end, he dribbled and shot, and still scored points.
For Robinho and Pato, it depends on how Ibrahimovic chooses. As for other players who score goals, they are either grabbing points, missing goals or setting kicks, which are all supplements to the tactical system.
"Fool! Can't you see where I am? Did you waste your opportunity by coming up here?" Ibrahimovic ran back and yelled at Chen Zhuo, even pointing his finger at Chen Zhuo's nose.
Chen Zhuo blocked Ibrahimovic's hand and said: "Are you a piece of wood? You should rush over and prepare for follow-up shots instead of spreading your hands and yelling!"
The ball just now was a long shot from 40 meters away by Chen Zhuo. The ball was touched by the goalkeeper and then hit the post. After bouncing into the penalty area, the ball was destroyed by the opponent's big foot. Ibrahimovic stood after Chen Zhuo's long shot.
He screamed at Chen Zhuo from the top of the penalty area, without even thinking of taking a follow-up shot.
The reason why he chose to shoot was that Chen Zhuo believed that Ibrahimovic's position was not good. He had his back to the goal, and there was a Lecce player behind him to defend closely. There were two other players within five meters. Even if Ibrahimovic received the shot,
Even if you hit the ball, you can't get rid of it.
From Ibrahimovic's point of view, what I do with the ball is my business. You just need to give the ball to me. You don't have to worry about anything else!
Allegri's attitude was clear. He applauded Chen Zhuo, and at the same time made a gesture towards Ibrahimovic from a distance to pay attention to the follow-up shot. Ibrahimovic shook his arm angrily.
(Four)
There is no doubt that long-range shots are an excellent weapon to break through dense defenses, especially for a super cannon like Chen Zhuo. After coming on the field, he almost scored with two consecutive long-range shots. The Lecce goalkeeper also performed bravely today. He is one of the top ten saves this week.
, these two saves have a chance to be selected, and may even be on the list.
"Hi! Patton." Robinho took advantage of the air raid and ran over to pull Chen Zhuo and whispered: "The coach has arranged for you to pull back a little and change positions with me. If you are not sure about the long shot, you can consider giving the ball to me.
…”
Looking back, Allegri was indeed making this gesture to give him a temporary reprieve.
Everyone knows the characteristics of Chen Zhuo's long-range shot. He needs to take at least five steps in the run-up. If there is interference two meters away from him when shooting, the accuracy will be greatly reduced. Because he practiced his accuracy by himself, it is normal for him to not be able to fight against the surname.
Chen Zhuo's long-range goal scoring rate in Italy is much lower than in Germany, also because the Italians use more personal marking and zone defense.
For this situation, Gasperini asked Chen Zhuo to act as a diversionary force, fake shots and real passes, and then find the "Twin Towers" in the middle after separation, while Allegri asked Chen Zhuo to retreat 5 to 10 meters.
Open fire, which is equivalent to further pulling the opponent out. If the dense defensive formation is pulled out 5 to 10 meters, the opportunity will come...
Facing the ferocious attack from Lecce players, Chen Zhuo dunked the ball with his strength, and then distributed the ball to the left wing. Robinho, who happened to run over, took advantage of the trend and slipped into the penalty area...
The ball was scored. After Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic effectively restrained Lecce's defensive forces, there was a gap in Robinho's defense. Robinho seized the opportunity and dribbled the ball head-on.
Shot from an angle and the ball went in.
Everyone was excited except Ibrahimovic. Chen Zhuo helped Milan break the deadlock with two long shots and a short pass in just seven or eight minutes after coming on the field.
This is not an inherent routine. In these seven or eight minutes, Ibrahimovic almost never touched the ball! Although the score was equalized, Ibrahimovic didn't look happy. In his opinion, Chen Zhuo passed the ball to him earlier after coming on the court.
, the score had been equalized long ago!
(five)
However, the excitement of Chen Zhuo's appearance finally had an effect. In the 84th minute of the game, Chen Zhuo's third long-range shot hit the crossbar again. Maybe it was because he hadn't played in a game for more than a month, or maybe it was just luck.
Not good. In total, it was the third time today that Lecce's goalposts and crossbars rejected Chen Zhuo's goal. This also made Chen Zhuo very upset.
However, this goal was luckier than the previous two. The first one bounced out of the center post and Ibrahimovic had no intention of making a follow-up shot. The second one, Ibrahimovic rushed forward, but hit the post and went straight out of the baseline. This goal
The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and hit the ground.
When it bounces down, it tilts a little to the middle. When it bounces up again, it will be out of Ibrahimovic's control range! And Ibrahimovic has almost rushed into the door...
While running at high speed, Ibrahimovic adjusted his body and made a 180-degree turn, then spun his long right leg out like a "whirlwind kick"... Scorpion Tail Swing!
With extraordinary flexibility, Ibrahimovic struggled to complete a turn in the air, made an action that looked like body kicks and taekwondo, and hit the ball into the hole... Only Ibrahimovic could score this goal! No matter what,
Be it Ruud, Toni or Inzaghi, none of them can do this kind of action!
After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic was extremely excited. The extremely flexible man jumped up from the ground, took off his shirt and threw it to the ground. He rushed to the sidelines and showed off his strong muscles to the Milan fans who came to support the away match.
"Congratulations!" Chen Zhuo took the initiative to pick up Ibrahimovic's jersey and gave it to him.
Ibrahimovic proudly looked at Chen Zhuo with provocative eyes and said: "Can you do this kind of shooting action?"
Chen Zhuo shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'll give it a try in the next game, but unfortunately, you can only watch it off the court..."
Ibrahimovic's eyes widened, what do you mean? Oh... I was just excited and forgot that because I took off my clothes to celebrate, this is the third yellow card this season. Which means that I will be forced to rest in the next round of the league?
Because he was thinking that after scoring this goal, he could finally surpass Chen Zhuo's 7 goals and Robinho's 7 goals and become the player with the most goals in Milan. Ibrahimovic forgot about the yellow card.
2-1, Chen Zhuo completed two assists, Robinho and Ibrahimovic each had a goal, Milan reversed the away victory. (To be continued.)
