Chapter 576 The Appearance of the Defending Champion

Allegri's face has always been written with the word "sorrow" this season. There are many reasons for the poor performance in the new season. In fact, he has less responsibility. The net investment in the summer transfer market is not much. The money is to buy out Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Then Ibrahimovic was absent due to injury, which caused the team's offense to be very unfavorable. Ibrahimovic is such a player. Wherever he goes, he can be the core of the offense. It is not the head coach. The problem is that there are other people in Barcelona who can rely on, but AC Milan does not, and Allegri can only rely on him.

Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic dependence appeared again in AC Milan.

It was rumored that he was at odds with Pirlo, but is this actually the case? !No, he didn't have such discord with Pirlo. The more reason came from the top management of AC Milan. The team was unwilling to provide Pirlo with a satisfactory contract. He naturally wanted to leave. Loyalty these days There are very few players, and from another perspective, the club is sorry for others first.

Tactics, high-level intentions and other reasons caused him to not always insist on using Pirlo but continued to downplay the influence of Pirlo. Last season it seemed that the effect was really good, but the new season lacks Ibrahimovic. The impact of going was revealed. His team couldn't control the situation. After a few rounds, no matter what opponent dared to attack them, this must be dangerous, and the results have confirmed everything.

Allegri is still worried about today's game, because he has studied Juventus. Conte's tactical thinking has not yet been fixed, but there are people in Juventus. Pirlo and Zhang Yuan can change the game by themselves. result people.

The shadow brought by Zhang Yuan to Allegri is a bit big. Last year against Real Madrid, Zhang Yuan gave AC Milan a deep impression. Will he continue to devour the old AC Milan like a tiger coming out of the mountain today? Allegri Pray that Zhang Yuan will not do it.

Before the players played, Conte and Allegri were already waiting on the bench. When Conte walked out of the channel, he walked to the coach bench of AC Milan. Allegri also walked towards Conte quickly. The individual shook hands and exchanged a few greetings with a smile.

Today is not Allegri's big test but Conte's big test. He needs to prove his training ability.

Today Conte continues to use the 433 formation, which is also considered. The 433 against Catania does not seem to be particularly effective, but Conte believes that the offense and defense are relatively balanced. Against AC Milan, in fact the two sides In terms of midfield power, the young are against the old.

Old Bei was unwilling to continue to invest heavily, Pirlo was reluctant to give a better contract, and he was still free to leave. They also always wanted to be younger, but young talents are not so easy to find, so Galliani retained his loyalty Seedorf, and introduced Van Bommel who is older than Pirlo.

AC Milan's midfield triangle, except that Nocerino is in his prime, Seedorf and Van Bommel are obviously old.

Conte continued to use the trio of Vidal, Marchisio, and Pirlo in the midfield. Pirlo moved slower and played slower, but the accuracy and timing were well grasped. Vidal and Marquis Kisio's main role in the midfield is not just interception, they are all-rounders and runners. Conte's idea is to run AC Milan's midfielder to death.

Rizzoli is the referee for today's crucial match. The referee committee is often troubled by these powerful dialogues. The referees are not easy to send. There are always various disputes after the game. Generally, what they do is to send you a gold medal. post.

Rizzoli is such a golden whistle, the Italian golden whistle after Corina.

The players from both sides began to walk out in the player channel led by the referee, and the fans in the stadium applauded and cheered.

A series of ceremonies ended and the game officially started. Allegri also had the idea to play in the midfield. In the first few minutes of the game, AC Milan was quite imposing and had a relatively strong running ability. The two sides fought fiercely in the midfield and fouled constantly.

Rizzoli's whistle continued, and the boos of the fans continued.

A few years ago, the relationship between these two clubs was quite good. People called them the Holy Alliance. There was also a special pre-season friendly match between them called the Berlusconi Cup. In the beginning, these two clubs have always been against each other.

In one cup match, Buffon was injured. At that time, AC Milan also loaned its goalkeeper Abbiati to Juventus for free, which is enough to explain the relationship between them.

However, in recent years, the relationship between everyone has not been as deep and friendly as before, but it is not bad. Galliani and Agnelli also agreed to have dinner after the game. This dinner seems a bit late, okay Call it supper.

After a few minutes of chaos on Juventus' side, Pirlo's effectiveness and the effectiveness of the two all-round midfielders began to play a role, and AC Milan began to be at a slight disadvantage in the midfield.

Zhang Yuan's position today is very different from before. Conte once gave him a special tactical arrangement before the game.

"They have rich defensive experience in the back line. If you are close-fitting, it is difficult to play your role without a header advantage. Today you don't need to be a post center frequently. You should recover more in a timely manner and support the midfielder. If they The defensive line put pressure on us in advance, which is a good thing for you, you have speed, I believe you can always seize a chance to kill them!"

Conte's strategy is like this. With a center forward, it looks like there is no center forward. He plays like a frontless formation. Today's conditions are more suitable in all aspects.

Conte's tactics mainly take into account AC Milan's offensive position. Now AC Milan's biggest offensive attack route is the center. Zhang Yuan's recovery can form a piece with Juventus' midfield, which is comparable to AC Milan's power.

And AC Milan will not have any advantage on the wing. A formation like AC Milan is doomed that the full-backs must press for support. Of course, they can also not support, so the offensive method is too single, and Allegri will definitely not do this.

The two wingers of Juventus can play a very good role, and they can seek some opportunities on the wing.

In the 7th minute, Krasic returned a pass to Lichtsteiner, who directly crossed the AC Milan penalty area. Zhang Yuan started from outside the penalty area and rushed to the top. He grabbed the ball before Thiago Silva, and the ball was caught by Abi Artie flew up to lift the crossbar. This was Juventus's first attack, which was extremely threatening.

With a fixed position, Zhang Yuan can't take advantage, but this kind of summit rush, let alone Thiago Silva, who is shorter than him, even Nesta can't jump over him, unless they stand in a good position. No.

Li Jun slapped his thigh hard, and let out a "hum" exclamation together with the fans.

"It's almost there! It would have been better if Zhang Yuan had been more tricky with this ball!" Li Jun exclaimed unwillingly.

Zhang Yuan scratched his scalp a few times, he thought the ball was a sure thing, but he didn't know that the young Abbiati was not a vegetarian, which was quite a pity.

Allegri yelled loudly at the scene. He was not satisfied with his team's defense at this moment. Silva made a mistake in judging the landing point and didn't take the lead to stop the position. He probably didn't expect Zhang Yuan's jumping ability. Can hit the ball before him.

The more terrible problem is that Lichtsteiner's pass was not defended. Simply put, the wing is a little empty, and no one is going to fill the center. This is very bad. Juventus played Zhang Yuan, and the ability to grab points is Not too strong, Allegri is very clear, but what if Zhang Yuan is allowed to grab the point like just now? !what to do? !

The defending champion can't be like this!
Pirlo took a tactical corner kick. In fact, AC Milan's air defense ability is quite good. Of course, Juventus's set kick threat is not bad, but Pirlo chose a tactical corner kick for this ball.

He passed to Pepe, AC Milan's defense started to move, and they had to move forward immediately to create an offside.

Zhang Yuan was originally in the middle. Taking this opportunity, he began to run around and back. Pepe passed the ball to Pirlo, and Pirlo passed it back without even looking.

A little high, a little far away, Zhang Yuan failed to escape the marking of AC Milan players, Bonera and him headed for the ball at the same time, Bonera wanted to rub the ball to the sideline on the other side, and Zhang Yuan wanted to put the ball back Push back to the penalty area and let your teammates grab points.

Bonera's position is actually better than Zhang Yuan's. His judgment of landing is accurate and he resists Zhang Yuan on the outside.
