Chapter 475 He Has a Pioneer Heart
Goalkeepers: 1-Amelia, 32-Abiati, 59-Gabriel.

Defenders: 2-Decirio, 5-Mex, 17-Zapata (new aid), 20-Abate, 21-Constant, 25-Boneira, 81-Zacardo.

Midfielder: 4-Muntari, 7-Emanuelsen, 8-Longshut (new aid), 10-Nocerino, 16-Poly (new aid), 18-Montolivo, 22-Kaka (new aid), 23-Ambrosini (captain), 24-Christante, 34-De Jong.

Forwards: 11-Pazzini, 45-Balotelli, 78-Niang, 92-Shalawi.

This is AC Milan's list of players, a total of 24 people.

If nothing else, their main lineup this season may look like this:

Balotelli (substitute: Pazzini)
Shalawi Longst-Kaka (main substitutes: Niang, Emmanuel Sen, Polly)
De Jong Montolivo (main substitutes: Nocerino, Muntari, Ambrosini)

De Sciglio-Zapata-Mex-Abate (main substitutes: Constant, Zaccardo, Bonera)

Goalkeeper: Abbiati

Long Shute carefully scanned the attributes of these teammates in detail, and had to accept this reality.

Even with himself included, the average score of the first-team players is only 81 points, which is a full 5 points lower than Bayern Munich last season, completely down two grades!

Among his teammates, no one scored more than 90 points. The highest score... was Balotelli with 88 points, followed by Kaka with 86 points and Shalawi with 85 points. Only three players with 85 points.

Most of the main players are concentrated between 80-84 points, and those marginal teammates are barely higher than 75 points.

Long Shute suddenly had the illusion of returning to Ajax...

But this Milan lineup even has a huge weakness compared to Ajax: their players are generally older!

Although veterans have more experience, their physical fitness is obviously inferior to that of young people, and their mental will may be more numb. It is undoubtedly more difficult to arouse their fighting spirit...

The difficulty of this new challenge may be more difficult than Long Shute imagined.
-
July 7th, the second day of the training camp.

"Anyone else who hasn't received their schedule? No, okay."

Assistant coach Mauro Tassotti waved his mobile phone. He just mass-sent this month's training schedule to all coaches and players.

Looking at the phone screen, Long Shute frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Not surprisingly, the club forced them to arrange a 7-day trip to China a week later. They had to "cruise" in four cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu in 7 days, with an estimated net income of more than 2000 million euros.

With a Chinese boss and a Chinese captain, if you don’t take the opportunity to return to China to make a wave of hot money, you must be sorry for your motherland and people!

But this is not just a matter of a club in Milan. Bayern, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​CSKA Moscow and many other European teams have chosen to go to East Asia this summer to hold commercial exhibition games to ease the economic crisis in Europe.

As an additional clause for the introduction of Long Shute, Milan will also hold a friendly match with Bayern at the Bird's Nest. The income of both parties will go to Bayern. Price ticket), the highest box seats reached 1699, a total of 499 tickets is expected to be able to earn more than 599 million yuan, equivalent to nearly 12888 million euros, if you count the sales of peripheral products, rebates and rebates from scalpers, this income will undoubtedly higher.

After a week in China, from July 7th to August 27th, Milan will also go to North America to participate in another warm-up event - the Guinness International Champions Cup.

Their teammates are Inter Milan, Juventus, Everton, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Valencia and Los Angeles Galaxy. The eight teams will play three games in ten days regardless of their results.

Compared with the China tour, the prize money of this event is pitifully small, so in previous years, most teams did not pay much attention to this kind of warm-up match, after all, it wasted their precious season preparation time.

Long Shute could feel the anger in coach Allegri's heart:
With such a scumbag lineup, they don’t want to hurry up and hone their preparations for the Champions League qualifiers. Instead, they go to China and the United States on the other side of the world to play some commercial competitions. Do these bosses have any brains? !

But no one can resist the temptation to earn more than 2000 million euros in two weeks...

Even Allegri, when Han Li asked his opinion, he could only nod in agreement with difficulty.

What can he do?

Not going out to make money...the club can't even pay themselves wages!
He also has a big family to support! -
In addition to the schedule, before this day's training session, the team also confirmed the jersey number of each player in the new season. Kaka, who has had enough of the "Real Madrid No. 8 curse", is unwilling to wear No. 22 again. Instead, he chose his previous number 8, and the number [-] was worn by Long Shute.

The previous owner of this jersey was Gattuso, known as the "stadium butcher". The style of Jiaba is the same as his nickname, and it is a pure midfielder meat grinder type.But Long Shute didn't care, he even broke the curse of Bayern's No. 8, not to mention that Milan No. 8 has no such black history.

After that, head coach Allegri also announced that the returning Kaka will serve as the team's vice-captain, and Ambrosini will continue to retain the captain's armband, but considering his advanced age, Ambrosini's role in the team may be It's more about rallying people in the locker room.

——Montolivo, who originally took over the position of captain in history, can only be empty-handed in this time and space...
-
The first week of training is coming to an end.

Except for playing a free confrontation match within the team on the last day, the rest of the time was spent recovering from training.

Although Long Shute has not directly felt the tactical level of the new coach, he has already summarized Allegri's tactical habits from the system data.

The coach Ah Jiong is not interested in the gorgeous style of play, but prefers simplicity and toughness. Whether it is the Cagliari period or the Milan period, he is used to placing a bridgehead on the forward line, such as Matri , such as Ibrahimovic, to support the entire offensive line, this bridgehead may not need to be particularly good at direct scoring, but it must be able to attract defensive pressure and have the ability to play for other teammates.

As for the midfielder, he prefers to use two or three black and hard midfielders to implement meat grinder tactics, requiring each midfielder to use a wide range of running to constantly destroy the opponent's offensive opportunities. De Jong, Montoli Wo, Muntari, and Nocerino all have good interception and running abilities, so Pirlo, who is slow and weak against him, can't find a chance under his hands, so he can only go to Juventus to rejuvenate his second spring ...

It's just that in Milan this season, Allegri's usual routine may not be able to play out.

Especially the striker. Although Balotelli is the team's second highest scoring player, his characteristics are destined to make it difficult to be a single arrow between the two defenders of the opponent. In addition, his brain circuit is different from ordinary people. To let him play the same role as Ibu Dinghaishenzhen is undoubtedly a dream...

Long Shute looked at his 184cm, 81kg physique, and couldn't help frowning.

If it doesn't work, he can only go into battle himself.

I, Long Ritian, also come to experience the feeling of being a striker!
