"Italian Cup? Didn't your agent propose to give you a full rest in a tournament like this?" Allegri heard that Ibrahimovic took the initiative to apply to participate in the Italian Cup, and deliberately asked Ibrahimovic why.
Ibrahimovic muttered: "Isn't my next league game suspended? So playing in this cup match won't affect my rest."
"Oh, is there any other reason?" Allegri continued to ask.
Ibrahimovic looked at Allegri and said: "I...I am a professional player. Don't players just want to compete? Besides, I also want to contribute to the club..."
Haha, Allegri wants to laugh. Is there any joke more ridiculous than this? Ibrahimovic's selfishness and his agent's greed are already famous all over the world. Now he wants to contribute to the club. This is really
It's ridiculous.
"Okay, I will seriously consider it. Thank you for having this idea of making a contribution. Go to training and maintain your competitive state." Allegri sent Ibrahimovic away.
The reason behind Ibrahimovic’s nonsense is because of Chen Zhuo, you don’t have to think about it!
After the game against Lecce, the best player on the spot was Lecce goalkeeper Antonio Rosati. His two wonderful saves were also selected as the top ten saves of the week. At the same time, Ibrahimovic's scorpion tail shot
It has also become one of the top ten goals this week. Among the top ten assists, Chen Zhuo's two assists are also undoubtedly selected.
In other words, in this week's best selection of technical statistics, a common name was mentioned five times, Chen Zhuo.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" also greatly praised Chen Zhuo's performance after coming on as a substitute. Although the large photo congratulating Milan on the victory was a picture of Ibrahimovic flexing his muscles, it only showed a back view of Ibrahimovic. The text was full of praise for Chen Zhuo.
Perfect debut" was highly praised.
This was Chen Zhuo's first game back in Milan. He came on the field in the 70th minute and scored three long-range shots and two assists. He was indeed worthy of the evaluation of "perfect debut". At the same time, "Gazzetta dello Sport" also praised Ibrahimovic and Robinini.
Oh, Pato called them the "Trident", and Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy called the "bridgehead" combination, calling on Allegri to give this pair of "bridgeheads" more opportunities.
The reason why they are called the "Bridgehead" combination is based on a geographical allusion. After China's reform and opening up in the 1980s, railway and road transportation passed through Central Asia, connecting Russia with Europe, and a line was called the "New Eurasian Continental Bridge."
The international logistics channel is from Rotterdam in the Netherlands to Lianyungang in China, so Van Nistelrooy in the Netherlands and Chen Zhuo in China are also called the "bridgehead combination".
The "praise" of this comment once again stimulated Ibrahimovic, especially the article said that in Milan's offensive organization core, Chen Zhuo will form a strong challenge to "Ibrahimovic's core". This comparison makes Ibrahimovic very fond of it.
No.

From the end of the league on the 17th to the Italian Cup on the 21st, it took four days plus the return from Lecce to Milan. The team only had two and a half days of training together. During these two and a half days, Allegri
Still practicing with the substitute lineup.
The tactics are still 4-3-1-2. Chen Zhuo is the "1" and continues to strengthen his long-range shooting from the attacking midfielder position. Moreover, Allegri consciously asked him to practice four-step shooting and three-step shooting.
The accuracy and intensity were something that the coaches had not thought of before in Hamburg and Genoa, and not even Baggio had thought of it.
The difference between this is of course that in Hamburg and Genoa, the coaches paid more attention to Chen Zhuo's offensive and defensive balance. They had to find ways to make full use of Chen Zhuo's defensive ability and stealing ability. This was especially true for Baggio.
The organizational work on both offense and defense must be carried out by Chen Zhuo.
But it is different in AC Milan. Even if Chen Zhuo does not participate in the defense, the defensive system of four defenders and three midfielders is enough. How to maximize the power of Chen Zhuo's long shots and free kicks is Allegri's goal.
Need to consider.
The Coppa Italia was originally a game that Allegri left for Chen Zhuo to warm up. The specific tactical idea was also very simple. Offensively, Chen Zhuo was asked to fire from a distance of 40 to 45 meters. At least one of the two forwards was responsible for grabbing points.
Masters, let them complete the follow-up shot, which both Inzaghi and Ruud van Nistelrooy can do.
When the opponent is forced to send one or two players to move up to the midfield to mark Chen Zhuo's long shot, the dense defensive formation they painstakingly constructed about 30 meters in front of the goal will inevitably have gaps. Robinho, Paolo
Tor and Cassano are all masters of ball attack. The two young players born in the 1990s, Oduamadi and Aditya, can also practice more in this kind of competition.
Don't look at it just extending the range of Chen Zhuo's super cannon by 5 to 10 meters. In Sacchi's theory, this 5 to 10 meters is fatal to whether the defensive formation is tight or loose!
In Allegri's view, Chen Zhuo's long-range attack power during the Hamburg and Genoa periods only reached 60-70%. If he can improve his long-range shooting ability through technical enhancement and tactical support,
If it is improved to the extreme, then Chen Zhuo will score many goals in the European League!
As for Chen Zhuo following Inzaghi to practice more to gain points, Allegri did not dissuade him. He did not have to worry about too many skills. He wanted to learn more, so let him learn more. There is always no harm! And Chen Zhuo obviously
He is self-aware, and he is not looking to Robinho to learn dribbling or cycling. His learning is targeted and practical.

In the original plan, there was no Ibrahimovic in the Italian Cup. Who would have thought that this guy would get carried away after scoring a goal against Lecce and then take off his clothes to show off his muscles?
The initial arrangement for the Coppa Italia match at home against Bari was to feature the entire substitute lineup, with Pato, Boateng and Gianluca Zambrotta not even allowed to play.
This is because Allegri's analysis believes that the Bari team, which is currently at the bottom of the points, has no interest in the Italian Cup. Double matches a week are not something that a small team like them can afford, so instead of fighting for Milan, it is better to be honest.
Really give up the Italian Cup and prepare for the home game against Naples.
Napoli's state has been very ups and downs recently. They lost to Inter Milan 1-3, then beat Juventus 3-0, and then were tied with Fiorentina at home. With Milan's winning streak, the points of each team
Being pulled further and further away.
Therefore, in Allegri's plan, in this Italian Cup match, Milan still uses a 4-3-1-2 formation. The starting goalkeeper is Marco Amelia, and the double central defender combination is)-year-old Bonera
With the 22-year-old Greek teenager Papa, the left back is the 34-year-old former Lazio captain Odo, and the right back is the 34-year-old Colombian veteran Yepes.
The three defensive midfielders are captain Ambrosini, French defensive midfielder Flamini and Sierra Leone player Strasser, attacking midfielder Chen Zhuo, and the two starting forwards are Ruud van Nistelrooy and 20-year-old Nigerian teenager Oduya.
Madi.
He didn't even plan to use Zambrotta, Boateng and Pato as substitutes. On the bench were No. 3 goalkeeper Flavio Roma, defender Montelongo, forwards Inzaghi, Aditya, and others.
Albertazzi and Chigni, who were born in 1991, and Damian, who was born in 1989, were drawn from the reserve team to give them a certain chance in such a game.
At that time, the "contradiction" between Ibrahimovic and Chen Zhuo had not yet appeared, and Allegri did not want to use this "contradiction" to stimulate them. But now with this opportunity, Allegri thought to make adjustments.
It's worth it too.
(Four)
The 4-3-1-2 formation remains unchanged, the starting goalkeeper Marco Amelia remains unchanged, the double central defender combination is still the 34-year-old Bonera and the 22-year-old Greek teenager Papa, the left back is the former Lazio captain 34
The 34-year-old Odo took the right back position, putting Colombia's 34-year-old veteran Yepes on the bench and letting Gianluca Zambrotta start.
The three defensive midfielders still use the previous three-midfielder configuration, captain Ambrosini, French midfielder Flamini and Sierra Leone player Strasser. The attacking midfielder is adjusted to two, Chen Zhuo plus Boateng.
, let the two of them try to work out their offensive coordination.
The only forward option is to put Nigerian teenagers Oduyamadi and Ruud van Nistelrooy on the bench, because Ibrahimovic needs to be used. In this kind of event, it would be better to let Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic play together, as they can cooperate with each other.
Cooperate.
For Van Nistelrooy, there is nothing dissatisfied. Since Ibrahimovic was suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards in the 21st round of the league, Allegri was ready to start the pair of Chen Zhuo and Van Nistelrooy in the weekend game.
, for a competition like the Italian Cup, Van Nistelrooy is also happy to rest.
The reason why Allegri not only did not stop Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic's "choking", but also deliberately provoked them to compete with each other like fighting crickets, is because Allegri had deeper thoughts.
First of all, from Ibrahimovic's point of view, Allegri recognized Ibrahimovic's ability, but in his heart he never thought about turning AC Milan into Ibrahimovic's team, and never thought that Ibrahimovic should be Pirlo.
Later, the leader of AC Milan, this Swede was by no means a leader-type player. He was a "lone wolf" and a "mercenary"!
There is no doubt about this, because Ibrahimovic likes to enjoy exclusive privileges and be unconventional. He is a bit narcissistic and basically has no friends. "Weird and unsociable personality" has become his label. Players with this kind of personality are changing clothes.
As long as there are no troubles or fights in the room, it is simply impossible for him to become a leader in the locker room.
In addition, Ibrahimovic's personality test result is that he is an "external evaluation approver". His self-worth fluctuates with the evaluation of people around him. He will have huge inner baggage when facing pressure, and the fear caused by this pressure will sometimes cause
Transformed into anger, some will be transformed into escape.
Therefore, for Ibrahimovic, the most serious impact on him is not the physical fluctuation curve, but the emotional fluctuation curve, and Ibrahimovic's fluctuation pattern changes greatly. In two games separated by a week, he may be a completely different person.
He fought hard during the game, passed the ball and created opportunities for his teammates, but in the next game he suddenly became listless and even lost his temper, did not cooperate with his teammates and even acted recklessly. This was all due to his own irregular mood swings.
Milan does not have a "neurotic" style, so naturally it does not need such a "neurotic" player to be its leader and spokesperson.
As for Chen Zhuo, Allegri never thought about linking the leader of Milan with this uncle-level player who only made his debut in Europe at the age of ). Ibrahimovic was born in the same year and month as him, and is 2 days younger than him, but Ibrahimovic
How many team and individual championships has Bu won?
Allegri is already very clear about Chen Zhuo's positioning. For Milan, which competes on the third line, Chen Zhuo will be the absolute starter in the Italian Cup this season, the main rotation player in the Champions League, and the all-round substitute in the league. The first thing is to improve him.
The attack power, the so-called "all-round substitute", is just in case.
In Allegri's entire tactical system, if Ibrahimovic is a "sharp knife", then Chen Zhuo is a "flying knife", a hidden weapon, that's all.
As for how the two of them could "choke the fire" and why Ibrahimovic "lowered himself" to compete with Chen Zhuo, Allegri didn't understand it either. However, as for the argument that it was Ibrahimovic who provoked him first, Allegri
Gerry believed it.
Relatively speaking, Chen Zhuo is in line with the characteristics of a team's leader player. He is cerebral and calm enough. Whether on the playing field, training field or locker room, Chen Zhuo appears to be a very "gentleman". In terms of character,
, Allegri prefers Chen Zhuo to a "neurotic" like Ibrahimovic.
I like his character, appreciate his abilities, and think he still has two or three years of prime time, but this does not mean that Allegri will change his tactical positioning of Chen Zhuo's "flying knives" and "hidden weapons"
, Chen Zhuo can indeed become a leader in second- and third-rate clubs, such as the Hong Kong team, but this is AC Milan, a palace-level club!

"Toot~~~" Allegri blew the whistle to interrupt the training match and asked Ibrahimovic loudly: "Zlatan, can you tell me why you retreated to this position overlapping Patton and did the same thing?
What's going on?"
Allegri made it clear before the training match that this was a tactic designed to allow Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic to play their respective strengths on the field at the same time. There is a dividing line 30 meters away from the goal, and within 30 meters is Ibrahimovic's area.
Here he has free disposal of the ball.
And 30 meters away to 45 meters is Chen Zhuo's area. Within this area, Chen Zhuo has unlimited firing rights.
Next, with the cooperation of teammates, within 30 meters, Chen Zhuo and Boateng both cooperate with Ibrahimovic. Within the area of 30 meters to 45 meters, Boateng distributes the ball to Chen Zhuo or Ibrahimovic according to the situation on the field.
, Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic both obeyed Boateng's orders.
The task of the three intercepting midfielders is to hand the ball to the attacking midfielder depending on the situation and emphasize giving priority to Boateng. These three intercepting midfielders are an overall offensive and defensive transition hub, and the four backs behind are the final line of defense.
, two wing assists serve as a strengthening routine for the offensive system, and there is no problem with the entire tactical arrangement.
The problem is Ibrahimovic. He is very dissatisfied with Chen Zhuo's unlimited firing rights from 30 to 45 meters. In the past, when playing double midfielders, both front midfielders were used to cooperate with his "ground support" of Ibrahimovic. Why now?
A "gunman" came over and refused to do it!
"It's not that I overlap with him, it's that he overlaps with me!" Ibrahimovic glanced at Chen Zhuo with a provocative look and said to Allegri: "Coach, you have also seen it, the long shot in the 30-45 meter area
, I can do it too, so what’s the point of having this guy on the court?” (To be continued.)
