Chapter 53: Keep the center and let the side go

 In the Vidimali Stadium, Moroni saw a lot of Chinese people.

Although for a typical Italian like Moroni, all Asians look the same, but now he understands that most of these Asians are definitely Chinese, and they are all here for Pan Yi.

Even Moroni feels that there are many more female fans sitting in the stadium now than before.

And these female fans not only have oriental faces, there are also many blond and blue-eyed ones.

Moroni shook his head and focused on observing the situation on the visiting team.

Now the game is about to start, some Milan players are warming up, and some players are gathered around the coach, listening to the final instructions.

The tallest one is clearly Ibrahimovic.

The young coach next to him was Pan Yi, holding a tactical board and talking to Ibrahimovic with a smile.

It is obvious that Ibrahimovic agrees with Pan Yi's instructions and keeps nodding.

"It seems like there really is something that can make big-name players obedient." Moroni took a bite of roast duck and murmured, "And it's really attractive to fans. I really have to find a chance to chat with him."

……

Allegri's division of labor among the coaching staff is now relatively clear.

Of course, he is the head coach who makes the overall arrangements.

As for the team's specific defensive tactics, such as who is marking whom and who is responsible for which area, this is left to Tassotti.

In terms of offense, let Pan Yi make detailed arrangements.

The current 433 tactic is one the team is most familiar with.

Especially in terms of offense, if Allegri was in charge, he would first get the latest plan from Pan Yi and then relay it to the strikers...

In this roundabout way, it is better to let Pan Yi speak directly.

Now, Pan Yi is giving some final explanations to the three forwards, Ibrahimovic, Salah, and Mane.

This is actually some temporary targeted deployment made after getting Lecce's lineup.

"After the opening, you must pay attention to guarding the center and leaving the sides to create the effect of oppressing the strong side."

Pan Yi drew two points on the left for off-ball coverage and movement, as well as a screen in the middle on the tactical board.

"The specific strategy is this. Our three forwards work together to cut off the passing line between the opponent's center back and midfielder, empty the opponent's full back, and force the opponent to play the ball to the other side, which is Odo's side."<

/p>

"After the ball reaches the wing, the winger on that side, Salah, immediately presses the player holding the ball, and the other two forwards cut off the passing line to the center, forming a local numerical advantage and establishing a strong pressure on the side.



"Then we work with the midfielders to suppress the opponent, grab the ball or force the opponent to make a mistake. Why play on Odo's side? He is older and slower now, and his ball delivery efficiency is also relatively low, while the other side boasts

Delado, on the other hand, is not easy to control."

"Of course, we may fail in the encirclement and suppression. But in this case, the opponent can only advance along the side, and the threat is smaller. This is left to our midfielders and backfield players to handle."

Finally, Pan Yi said to Ibrahimovic: "Zlatan, you have the most experience in the game, and it will be you who initiates the press. Only three forwards acting together can maximize the effect of this tactic."

Ibrahimovic patted his chest: "No problem. I like this tactic very much, and I believe my two little brothers will also do a good job!"

Mane and Salah also smiled and nodded.

Then not long after, the game started.

This is the norm here in Milan:

Forwards: Mane, Ibrahimovic, Salah.

Midfielder: Kante, Boateng, Gattuso.

Defenders: De Sciglio, Thiago Silva, Van Dijk, Abate.

Goalkeeper: Abbiati.

Lecce is a defensive-oriented 541:

Forward: Corvia

Midfielder: Obodo, Giacomazzi, Grossmuller, Strasser

Defenders: Odo, Mesiba, Esposito, Tomovic, Cuadrado

Goalkeeper: Benassi

As soon as the opening whistle sounded, AC Milan's entire front line pressed forward.

Under the leadership of Ibrahimovic, the forward line began to press Lecce's defenders, and at the same time, Milan's midfielders and defenders also followed suit.

This is a scene that both sides can expect before the game.

AC Milan's overall strength is much higher than that of Lecce. This is almost a head-to-tail battle.

Lecce's formation itself also illustrates Di Francesco's attitude towards this game: a point is a victory.

But it's obvious that Milan doesn't like to take a point, even on the road.

Ibrahimovic has already pounced on Lecce's centre-back.

Ibrahimovic is tall and powerful, and he rushes like a heavy tank. The pressure coming at him makes the Lecce players dare not let the ball stay at their feet for more than a second.

They quickly moved the ball to the wing, trying to avoid Lu Bu, who seemed to be charging towards him on a red rabbit horse.

At this time, Salah and Mane, who were on both sides of Ibrahimovic, also pressed forward.

These two extremely fast wingers are also full of pressure when pressing. At this moment, together with Ibrahimovic, they formed three fast arrows, heading straight into the hinterland of Lecce.

After these three arrows, there are the three generals of Milan’s midfield.

They also blocked Lecce's ball route and allowed the ball to develop in the direction planned by the coaching staff before the game.

The tempo was so fast right from the start, which made the fans in the stadium burst into cheers. It is estimated that more than half of the fans in the Vidimali Stadium support AC Milan, and they can no longer tell the difference.

Who is at home and who is away.

Now, the ball has reached Otto's feet.

This 34-year-old veteran Italian international is actually from Milan, but he has gradually become unable to play in Milan as he gets older. This season, he was loaned to Lecce to use his remaining energy.

Now facing his old club, Otto naturally wants to perform well.

But now, he had just picked up the ball and was about to take two steps forward, but he found that the surroundings were filled with darkness.

At some point, the opponent's Salah rushed in front of him and blocked his way.

On the other side, old teammates Gattuso and Boateng have also gathered around.

Odo wanted to pass back to his own backcourt, but found that at the center back, Ibrahimovic and Mane were also staring at him, making it impossible for him to pass.

He hesitated for a moment, then stretched out one foot.

Gattuso intercepted the ball!

This tough midfielder never sticks to the ball and immediately knocks the ball back to Kante.

Kanter also directly handed the ball to Salah.

Salah quickly moved forward along the left wing, striding forward with the ball.

Lecce's players came to defend, Salah dunked the ball to his left foot, and then passed the ball directly with a 45-degree arc.

At this time, Ibrahimovic was originally facing the opponent's central defender. Now that the ball flew over, of course he took one step forward, overwhelmed the opponent's defender, and headed the ball towards the goal.

The opponent's goalkeeper raised his hand and pushed the ball over the crossbar, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although the shot did not go in, it still ignited the passion in the Vidimali Stadium, and the Milan fans started shouting at the top of their lungs.

Because at this time, less than a minute had passed since I left the field!
