However, although Conte wanted to give Pan Yi some color, in fact, Juventus is now facing a dilemma.
The lineup that Conte put together when facing Milan was based on defense and then counterattack.
But now that they have conceded the goal first, Juventus has to press out and try to get the score back, and then score more goals to win.
And if AC Milan starts to counterattack, the efficiency will be amazing.
This was proven in their previous away game against Barcelona.
Milan has several extremely fast young players in the frontcourt. If Juventus really dares to press hard, Milan's coaching staff will definitely use Conte's best method to defeat Conte.
Fortunately, it's only the first half and there's still a lot of time.
Conte decided to make some adjustments in the second half.
Therefore, Conte did not let his disciples start an all-out attack immediately, as that would be too risky.
If Milan steals another one and further expands the score, the game will become even more unplayable.
As a result, the last ten minutes of the first half were spent in a relatively dull stalemate.
Milan leads Juventus 1:0 at halftime.
……
"Well done!"
"Well played!"
"Come on, keep it up!"
In the Milan dressing room, the coaches high-fived and encouraged the players as they walked in.
In such an important game, it is very necessary to maintain the morale of the players and give them the necessary appreciation and encouragement.
Especially when they are leading, I have to tell them not to be proud, and then try their best to play the second half of the game.
After everyone entered the locker room, Allegri also walked to the tactical board:
"Everyone, we are now ahead of Juventus in the away game. What we have to do next is to maintain this lead until the end, and then bring the three points back to Milan!"
"Yes!" The head coach's words immediately received a positive response from all the players.
Although each of them was out of breath after half a half of hard work, the leading result also made them all excited and full of fighting spirit.
More importantly, they are now very confident in the tactics designed by the coaching staff.
The trend in the first half was almost exactly what the coach told them before the game.
In the end, Milan also seized the opponent's loopholes, used routines in training, and scored a key goal.
In the minds of many players, the arrangements of the coaching staff are simply amazing!
Allegri continued:
"In the second half of the game, Juventus will definitely strengthen its offense. And the first thing we have to do is of course defense. As long as we don't concede the ball, we can win."
"It is conceivable that the situation in the second half will be more difficult than the first half. You can feel that Juventus is very strong. When they attack with all their strength, they will put a lot of pressure on us."<
/p>
"But tonight we will tell Juventus, tell all the fans in the Juventus Arena, that we can withstand such pressure, we are stronger than Juventus!"
Seeing the players nodding, Allegri glanced at Pan Yi and Tassotti:
"Do you have anything to add?"
Pan Yi was not polite and took a step forward:
"Although we consumed a lot of energy in their midfield in the first half, we also consumed a lot of energy. Your gasping sound like you just finished told me this."
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.
Pan Yi added: "So in the second half, we need to take the initiative to recover a little, and while compressing the opponent's space, be careful not to waste too much energy. We did this very well against Barcelona."
"I feel that Conte will change the formation. He may pull Chiellini to the left back position, and then add a forward to play a 433 formation. This is also the formation he often uses when he needs to attack hard."
"So when they attack, the loopholes in the middle will be magnified. I ask everyone to pay attention to looking for such loopholes while focusing on defense. Since our threatening attacks in the first half were actually launched from the wing, Juventus was
In the second half, we should pay attention to our wings, so we did the opposite and really attacked their center!"
"In the end, every minute of the second half is a very difficult test for us. I also believe that you are all ready to defeat Juventus and let them eat exhaust behind us!"
As Pan Yi finished his speech, there were roars in the locker room.
This is the roar issued by the soldiers of Milan, vowing to win!
……
However, at the beginning of the second half, Conte did not change the formation immediately.
It was still the same lineup at halftime, and he wanted to test Milan's tactics again to see if there were any changes.
Obviously Milan has changed.
They no longer competed with Juventus in the midfield and frontcourt, but took the initiative to recycle their formation and put on a defensive and counterattack posture.
By the way, if in other countries, if a strong team shrinks its defense and puts up a big team, it will probably be criticized by its opponents, the media, and even its own fans.
But in Italy, there is no such problem.
Defense itself is the foundation of Italian football in world football.
When AC Milan created the miracle of unbeaten in 58 games, they also relied on defense.
As long as you can win, then 1:0 every game is enough. This is the philosophy of Italian football.
So when faced with such a scene, Conte, who started his career as a defensive player, would certainly not think of cursing the opponent for not practicing martial ethics, but would be ready to adjust his tactics.
Just after five minutes passed in the second half, which was the 50th minute, Conte made his first substitution.
Left midfielder Decelli comes off, forward Matri comes on.
Decelli was restrained in every aspect in this game, played timidly, and his performance was really average.
Now Conte replaces him and then replaces him with a forward. The left center back Chiellini moves to the left back, and then the right midfielder Lichtsteiner retreats to the right back.
Just as Pan Yi predicted at halftime, Juventus formed a new 433 formation.
Matri's height is 183cm. Although he is not particularly tall, he is physically strong and has good speed and shooting ability. When he is on top, he can greatly enhance Juventus' explosive ability in the frontcourt.
Milan, on the other hand, stood still.
The reason is very simple. Compared with Barcelona's three midfielders, Juventus is a combination of two engineers and one brain, and its creativity is far inferior to Habaib.
With Milan setting up such a tight dragnet, it would be difficult for Juventus' ball to pass through the midfield smoothly and send the ball comfortably to the forward's feet, making it difficult to create a threatening shot.
Therefore, Conte’s adjustment made no improvement after 20 minutes of playing.
So, when the game reached 70 minutes, Conte made another substitution adjustment.
Exit Pato, enter Tony!
It is worth noting that when Pato came off the field, the Juventus Arena was filled with boos...
