The 22nd round of the league was held on January 23, 2011, against newly promoted Cesena at home.
In the first round of games, AC Milan was upset by Cesena in an away game. However, Roma's 1-5 loss to Cagliari in that round was the biggest upset. AC Milan's upset was not particularly mentioned.
Cesena is a small club. It has been in the second division for 22 years before being promoted this season. It was a dark horse in the first few rounds of this season. However, halfway through the season, it has slipped to the fourth from the bottom. They have already begun their journey.
A hard and long journey to relegation.
Although it is a little-known club, it is the place where two legendary coaches started. In the 19**90 season, which last appeared in Serie A, the coach who directed Cesena had just received the international diploma.
Cesena is also the first Serie A team he coached, "Silver Fox" Marcello Lippi.
When Lippi was just starting out in 19**, another legendary figure who started his coaching career from the Cesena youth team was at the top of Serie A, "The Bald Hammer" Arrigo Sacchi, who played from 1977 to 1982.
For five years, Arrigo Sacchi coached and studied with the Cesena youth team.
When Sacchi was coaching at Cesena in 1977, Ambrosini had just been born. By this season, Ambrosini had been playing for AC Milan for 15 years, and the season when he was discovered by Capello was the 1994-95 season.
, 17-year-old Ambrosini plays for Cesena.
These are the information that Chen Zhuo consulted himself. Allegri did not talk about these things in the pre-match preparation meeting.
Unlike Hamburg and Genoa, in AC Milan's pre-match preparation meeting, they basically did not design any tactics to curb the opponent's characteristics. They focused more on how to strengthen their offense and how to use themselves.
Advantages. Because AC Milan is the object of study by all opponents, now the situation is reversed. Teams in the league are studying Milan's weaknesses and considering where to "surprise" Milan!
Milan's defense in this game was a system of three midfielders plus two central defenders, supplemented by two full-backs. There were more changes in the offensive routine.
Needless to say, the combination of left winger Cassano and center forward Ruud van Nistelrooy and midfielder Chen Zhuo has repeatedly proven their versatility in offensive routines. The assists of left and right fullbacks Antonini and Abate,
Especially the speed of right winger Abate is also an important scoring weapon for Milan.

Perhaps all the wealthy teams have a common characteristic. The problem they face is not that there are not enough players, but how to balance the use of these players who are the core of the second-rate team, and how to make trade-offs in tactical design.
Ronaldinho's departure and Pirlo's placement on the injured list did not completely solve these problems.
All in all, the locker rooms of wealthy teams are more complicated than those of other teams. How to manage and control a group of big guys in the locker room, especially those with bad tempers among the big guys, is an important issue for every wealthy team.
The important ability of a head coach is even more important than his tactical design and on-field command.
The conflict between Ibrahimovic and Chen Zhuo is just a small case, because of their personalities, Ibrahimovic is more impulsive while Chen Zhuo is calmer, so the possibility of a misfire is relatively small, but not all Milan players are like Chen Zhuo.
of good temper.
"If you don't know how to play, go back and learn! Learn from your vice-captains. They are both Brazilians. Why is there such a big gap?" Gattuso shouted at Pato on the training ground.
Pato was not to be outdone and started arguing at Gattuso. When Gattuso saw that the little brat dared to talk back, he glared and was about to rush forward. Chen Zhuo ran over and hugged him. Seedorf also ran.
He came over and caught Pato before they could meet each other.
This is not the first time. In a game in the first half of the season, Gattuso and Pato had an argument during the game. It was Seedorf who pulled them apart during the break of the previous round against Lecce.
At the same time, Gattuso and Pato had another quarrel in the player tunnel. The rumors of "internal strife" in the media are not all false in many cases.
One of the reasons for the quarrel between the two was that Gattuso could not tolerate Pato's passing of the ball too slowly after receiving a pass from his teammate, and it was easy for him to lose the ball if he acted alone, which put great pressure on the team's defense.
Gattuso believes that Pato does not have the same spirit of sacrifice for the benefit of the team as Robinho. They are both Brazilians, but have completely different attitudes.
For Pato, before coming to Milan, he was admired by fans everywhere and enjoyed the praise of "genius". Besides, everyone has his own rhythm when playing football. Although being fast is Pato's talent
advantage, but Pato prefers others to praise his skills. During the game, Pato does not like to run around the court like a sprinter chasing the ball. He prefers to use his skillful skills and graceful fake moves to pass people...
Therefore, Pato is very unconvinced by Gattuso's accusations. Why should this old guy be right? When he served as the "offensive trident" under coach Leonardo last season, he did not
There are so many things to do, but you can still play well!
Speaking of Leonardo, Gattuso was even more angry. The relationship between him and the former Milan teammate was not good. After the winter break, a reporter asked Gattuso what he thought of Leonardo's departure.
When he returned to take charge of Inter Milan after half a season with AC Milan, Gattuso said: "God, money is everything. His performance has nothing to do with professional coaching. I wish Leo good luck, except for one thing.
, that means he will get nothing at Inter Milan."
This kind of thing is not the first stupid thing Gattuso has done. During the Milan Derby last season, Gattuso, who had already received a yellow card, was injured and could not hold on and asked to be substituted. But Seedorf was still there as a substitute.
After putting on his shoes, Gattuso continued to play impatiently and maliciously tackled Sneijder from behind. After getting up, he didn't even look at the referee. He roared, threw off his shin pads, and left the field voluntarily without looking back.
He is essentially a good person, but once his brain is short-circuited, it can be quite scary. This is what Chen Zhuo once said to Gattuso in front of him. Gattuso also laughed and accepted it. He did not have an attack because Gattuso did not hate Chen.
Zhuo, if the same words were said by Pato or Ibrahimovic, two people he hates, the result would be completely different.
To deal with these "veterans", Allegri did not use the same method he used to teach Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic when they had conflicts. Instead, he asked them both to go to the scene to cool down and calm down, and then criticized and educated them separately.

Emotional fluctuations will always have an impact on the state. Some players may not show it obviously, but in some players it will be particularly obvious. This is determined by the player's ability to withstand psychological pressure.
Comparing Gattuso and Pato at this point, Gattuso's ability to withstand pressure is much stronger. When things calmed down a bit and then trained again, Pato was in no condition, but Gattuso seemed to be on stimulants.
Running all over the place.
This also led to the fact that Pato did not even sit on the bench when he deployed troops against Cesena. Allegri arranged for Chen Zhuo to partner Robinho as a double attacking midfielder, with Ruud van Nistelrooy as the single arrow and plus
The three defensive midfielders of Tusso, Seedorf and Van Bommel, as well as the back four of Antonini, Nesta, Thiago Silva and Abate, have not been adjusted at all.
On the bench, Allegri also brought Inzaghi, who performed well in the last cup match, and the bad boy Cassano. Pato could only watch his teammates play this game alone in the stands.
Chen Zhuo, who came on as a substitute in the last round of the league, did not disappoint the fans. This game reassured Milan fans. In at least 6 games in the first half of the season, Ibrahimovic was the savior alone. His 7 goals
The ball brought Milan 5 wins and 1 draw, all of which were key goals. It once made the media and fans worry that AC Milan was suffering from "Ibrahimovic Syndrome".
However, the arrival of Chen Zhuo reassured them. In the home game, Milan defeated Cesena 3:1. Chen Zhuo won the man of the match with a long-range goal and two assists. Ruud Ruud and Robinho each scored
A goal, able to win in the days without Ibrahimovic, and avenging the 0:2 loss to Cesena in the first half of the season, which makes Milan fans very happy.

Although Chen Zhuo and Chen Zhuo Fanny are in excellent form, Allegri, out of comprehensive considerations, still followed the original plan and asked them to focus on the cup and the Champions League. The league should still be handed over to the lineup that has been well-adjusted.
.
So Chen Zhuo started again in the Italian Cup quarter-finals on January. This time he and Ruud van Nistelrooy came to Genoa. During the match against Sampdoria, Genoa fans formed a cheerleading team.
Cheer for Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
After Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy left, Genoa continued to slump. They had lost four games in January with two draws and two losses. Not only did they fall further and further behind Milan, but they were also overtaken by Napoli and Lazio, falling to third place.
Four, Gasperini was also criticized for this. But for these, Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy were helpless.
Not seeing Genoa led by Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy defeat Sampdoria in the derby is the biggest regret for Genoa fans.
In the last game of the first half of the season, Sampdoria applied for an extension on the grounds of overlapping matches and was approved by the league committee. This was originally a normal thing, but in the minds of Genoa fans, this postponement was a serious matter.
That's not the case anymore.
They believe that this is because Sampdoria, after learning that Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy were determined to leave Genoa in the second half of the season, avoided the competition with Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy through this way of exemption and postponement.
, is the behavior of a coward and a coward.
Sampdoria naturally refused to admit it, but judging from the degree of focus on Chen Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy in this game against Milan, it can be seen that they are indeed afraid of this pairing.
In the first half of the season in Genoa, the two teamed up to score 13 goals. In Milan, the two teamed up for just two games. Ruud van Nistelrooy scored four goals, and Chen Zhuo also scored two goals and four assists.
, focusing on guarding is also a necessary behavior. If you don’t focus on guarding, you are just trying to let go! (To be continued.)
