This professional football stadium, which was just opened this year, can accommodate more than 40,000 spectators, and it is already packed with seats.
After all, this is a direct battle between the top and second place in Serie A.
The result of the game may even directly determine the championship this season!
Since this game will enter an international match day and the league will not restart until two weeks later, both sides will play their best in this game without any reservations.
AC Milan is still 433:
Forwards: Mane, Ibrahimovic, Salah.
Midfielder: Kante, Boateng, Gattuso.
Defenders: Antonini, Thiago Silva, Van Dijk, Zambrotta.
Goalkeeper: Abbiati.
The only adjustment made to the lineup is the two full-backs.
This is mainly due to tactical considerations.
Veteran Gianluca Zambrotta is his unique skill in making crosses, he is fast and accurate.
The same goes for Antonini on the left.
The young De Sciglio is energetic and motivated, but he is much inferior in this indicator.
Pan Yi made special adjustments for this game and had his own ideas.
As for Juventus, Conte also ranked his most commonly used 352:
In this lineup, the most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly the two former Milan players.
One is Pirlo, who reportedly had a conflict with Milan coach Allegri and then left Juventus in anger.
The other is Pato. Juventus, which aims to win the championship, has placed him as one of the two forwards after buying this Brazilian prodigy at a high price. However, it seems that he has not fully adapted to Conte's tactical system. In the first four games of the league,
Only scored one goal.
These two people were facing their old master today, so of course they held their breath and wanted to show off.
However, from Pan Yi's perspective, Pirlo must inhibit his performance.
After all, this midfielder who seemed unable to keep his eyes open all day long seemed to be at the end of his career in Milan, and he began to fail to play as the main force.
However, after leaving Milan, he became the real engine of Juventus, leading Juventus to win consecutive championships.
Therefore, guarding him is the key to defeating Juventus.
As for Pato...
It is said that after he moved to Juventus, he often secretly returned to Milan to have trysts with Barbara. It is strange that he could be kicked out with such a professional attitude.
This time Pan Yi asked the senior management to sell Pato to Juventus. In addition to reducing Milan's financial burden, he also cheated Juventus.
In addition to the economic and tactical role, Conte faces such a high-priced player. Even if Pato performs poorly, it is not easy to just put him on the bench.
This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some players and affect the atmosphere in their locker room.
Even if Pan Yi leaves Milan in the future, as long as Juventus still carries the burden of Pato, Milan may still suppress Juventus.
As the saying goes, Pan Yi left behind a plan to mess with Juventus, that's exactly what it is.
……
Now in the visiting team's dressing room, Pan Yi, Allegri and Tassotti looked at the chess pieces representing the Juventus players on the tactical board and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Juventus's approach was exactly what they expected before the game.
Of course, it is actually not very difficult to guess this set.
Under Conte, the three BBC players in the defense are almost unstoppable. Only when he sometimes uses a 4-back formation, Chiellini will be pulled to the left to play left back. At that time, the right wing back Lichtsteiner
He will withdraw to play right back.
The three in the middle of the midfield, Pirlo, Vidal, and Marchisio will not move either.
On the forward line, Conte himself does not like to use the aging captain Del Piero, but sometimes uses players such as Matri, Krasic, and Simone Pepe to rotate.
But after the high-priced introduction of Pato this season, the two forwards have basically become a smart combination of Vucinic and Pato, especially when they need to play against a strong team.
Therefore, guessing is actually equivalent to guessing the formation.
As long as Conte uses the 352 formation, it will basically be this group of people on the field, unless there are any injuries.
Of course, Pan Yi was not so sure before the game whether Conte would use 352 in this crucial game.
After all, Conte's technical and tactical arrangements are actually very flexible. Judging from his past coaching experience, he will not stick to the use of 3 defenders. He has also played tactics like 424, 4141, and 433.
He mainly arranges the best lineup and play style based on the characteristics of the players at hand.
However, based on the current staffing of Juventus and Conte's personal preferences, Pan Yi boldly judged that the Italian coach would use 352 in the game against Milan, and carried out targeted arrangements and training.
This is the best card Conte can play at the moment, and it is also what he considers to be the safest and safest formation and tactic.
Now it seems that Pan Yi guessed it right!
This is important.
Every matchup in a football match is, on the surface, just a test of the players’ skills, body and will.
In fact, the fighting skills of the coaches behind the scenes have largely determined the trend of this game.
Some people say that football is actually a war of intelligence, but it only needs some physical and technical players as carriers.
Pan Yi deeply agrees.
That's why he makes such detailed preparations before every game, and then targets his opponents to death.
Your opponent's tricks are all obvious and have been targeted, and you still have many unforeseen tricks ready to be used. Of course, your chances of winning are great.
Now it's like a real war. Milan has set up an ambush on all sides and is waiting for Juventus to enter the ambush circle...
And when Milan's players came back from warming up on the court and listened to the coaches' final emphasis on tactics, everyone felt the coaches' desire for this victory.
The players are also very excited.
When they looked at Juventus' lineup, it was exactly what the coach predicted before the game, and they knew that they had taken another step forward in terms of tactical targeting.
In addition, this game itself is a six-point battle related to the championship, and the players do not even need to do too much pre-war mobilization.
In the end, Allegri asked Pan Yi to give the final lecture:
"I don't want to say too much today, you all know the significance of this game."
"As I said before, we don't want a draw, we just want a victory!"
The players all nodded vigorously and roared, which was considered as a promise to Pan Yi.
Pan Yi finally raised his arms and said:
"Go and get the three points back and keep the championship in Milan!"
