In the major sports media newspapers the next day, naturally there was news about Milan overthrowing Barcelona in an away game.
There are some general reports on the process and results of this game:
"Barcelona failed to control the ball, Milan captured Camp Nou 2:1!"
"Ibrahimovic kills his old master with one pass and one shot, and the Milan youth training youngster delivers the final kill!"
"Is it 433 or 451? Detailed explanation of AC Milan's tactical changes in this game"
And some are more lace:
"Milan assistant coach suspected to be a Messi fan, shouted out Milan players and took away Messi's jersey in front of everyone"
"Pan Yi celebrated like crazy and stole the spotlight. Why do Milan players love him?"
"Guardiola wants to poach Milan? Chat with Pan Yi before and after the game"
At the post-match press conference, Guardiola specifically mentioned Pan Yi:
"I think Pan Yi is a tactical genius. When I was his age, I couldn't even figure out a complete tactical system."
"I want to poach him? Haha... I don't deny that I have such an idea, but it seems that he is not happy."
"Maybe he wants to take my place more than be my assistant. So, forget it... Haha!"
Being named and praised by the top coaches in the world and "attempting" to poach him made Pan Yi's reputation suddenly rise a lot.
Especially in the Dragon Kingdom, Pan Yi became somewhat legendary due to the Football Association's banning incident. After being praised by Gua Shuai, Pan Yi, the coaching genius of the Dragon Kingdom, became known to almost all fans.
Then, this led to fans launching a wave of satirical topic activities on the Internet, "Thank the Football Association for losing sight, letting Pan Yi go to Milan", but at least they did not go to the Football Association's official website and official media again.
Some professional football media, such as "Sky Sports" TV station, invited many senior former players and coaches to discuss this AC Milan game, including other games that have been played this season.
Many people hold similar views to Guardiola, believing that it was probably Pan Yi who changed Milan's tactics.
The reason is very simple. Since Pan Yi joined the team, Milan has successively introduced several young players and began to gradually play the main role in the new tactical system.
The 4132 formation that Allegri used last season cannot be seen used again in official games.
This shows that Allegri has great trust in this young coach of Longguo, and has fully accepted his suggestions, using the 433 with sharper offense and more solid defense as the basic formation, and on this basis, he will carry out targeted training according to the opponent.
Adjust.
At the same time, some other people believe that AC Milan has only played three official games now. Whether this tactic is really so amazing cannot be concluded so early.
It is better to wait for AC Milan to play more games and encounter more opponents and different playing styles to prove the universality of this tactic.
Thus, under the attention of the whole world, AC Milan began their performance in the new season.
On September 18, Milan defeated Naples 3:1 in an away game.
Ibrahimovic continued his good form and scored twice in the first 30 minutes. His head kick and kick laid the foundation for the victory of this game.
In the second half of the game, Thiago Silva took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to hit a header, expanding the score to 3:0.
The Naples team just took advantage of the lack of marking by Milan players towards the end of the game, and center Cavani scored a face-saving goal.
On September 21, AC Milan defeated Udinese 1:0 at home.
The intensive schedule of three consecutive days and one game allowed Milan to make the decision to rotate most of its players.
Players with less playing time such as Inzaghi, Emmarursen, Flamini and Mexes also got opportunities.
However, because of this, AC Milan seemed a bit uncooperative in this game, and the passing and cutting between the players was not very tacit, which made the scene look a bit ugly.
Moreover, in this game, Udinese goalkeeper Handanovic acted like a cheat, catching high and low blocks, and saved many must-goals for Milan.
Although they were suppressed by AC Milan, Udinese still relied on forward Di Natale's counterattacks, constantly causing trouble for Milan's defense.
In the 78th minute of the final game, Milan relied on Inzaghi's successful counter-offside shot and scored all three points at home.
Although the process was a bit difficult, the rotation of the lineup finally won the game with an economical 1:0, which also boosted the morale of AC Milan.
So three days later, on September 24, AC Milan successfully defeated Cesena 4:1 at home.
In this game, Milan sent out the vast majority of its main players and took the initiative in the game.
Salah helped Milan open the scoring with a surprise attack in the first 5 minutes, while Mane on the other side also used a long shot to expand the lead 10 minutes later.
Before halftime, Cesena's midfielder Candreva found forward Mutu with a long pass, and the latter scored a header to help the visiting team get a goal back.
But in the second half, Milan continued to be full of firepower. Aubameyang and Ibrahimovic each scored a goal, and finally won a big victory.
After an excellent start with four consecutive wins in Serie A, AC Milan returned to the Champions League.
On September 29, they sat at home and defeated Plzen Victory from the Czech Republic 2-0 without any blood. They also won two consecutive victories in the Champions League group stage and occupied the top spot.
What is slightly different from other games is that Milan started to "reverse" in this game, and the goals were scored by two defenders.
Van Dijk scored his first goal for AC Milan, and the way he scored was naturally his best header.
The other goal came from Abate. His pass-like kick from the right side caught the opponent's goalkeeper off guard and the ball fell directly into the net.
In this way, AC Milan's September schedule ended with a terrifying six-game winning streak.
At the same time, they also started their new 2011-2012 season with such a six-game winning streak!
Such a record not only makes all Milan fans ecstatic, but also makes Milan's top management a little unbelievable.
Especially Galliani.
He thought that after making so much money in the transfer market this season, even if the team's strength did not drop significantly, the record should be able to maintain the performance of last season.
After all, you get what you pay for. As a veteran in football for many years, Galliani naturally understands this truth.
But now?
It seems that all the lottery tickets you scratched are won?
This made Galliani have to lament Pan Yi's magical power.
After all, these lottery numbers were all chosen by Pan Yi.
Moreover, during the same period last season, Milan has lost one game and drawn three games so far.
Compared with this season's reborn performance, it's really a bit worse.
Considering such a bad start to last season, we finally won the league championship...
Galliani has reason to fantasize about his results this year.
Of course, before that, Milan still needs to pass a big hurdle.
The biggest rival in the league.
On October 2, they challenged Juventus away from home.
