Super Coach

382 Boy, we let you!

Viewers, welcome to the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, England. What you are seeing now is the venue for the UEFA Champions League final of the 2002/03 season. Players from both sides have lined up in front of the tunnel.

We have already got the starting lineups of both sides. Inter Milan, wearing the blue and black jersey, will start the goalkeeper for this game with Buffon, and the defense will be Zambrotta, Nesta, Lucio and Zanetti. The field is still a combination of four No. 10s, namely Emerson, Pirlo, Deco and Nedvěd, and the two forwards are Ronaldo and Ruud Ruud.”

Milan also played with all its main players. The goalkeeper was Dida, the defense was Kaladze, Maldini, Stam and Costacurta, and the midfielders were Seedorf, Ambrosini and García. Tuso and Rui Costa, the two forwards are Shevchenko and Inzaghi.

It is the first time in the history of the Champions League final that a city derby is played in the European Champions League final. Therefore, this game has also attracted the attention of all football players around the world, and everyone is predicting the outcome of the final. .”

Just as the on-site commentator's voice fell, he saw the live TV camera pointed at the players' tunnel, and found that players from both sides came out one after another under the leadership of referee Merck, who also took away the game ball. .

Players from both sides bypassed the Champions League trophy in the middle. When each of them passed this trophy, their eyes were full of pursuit and desire. This was something they had been fighting for for a year, or even several years. Some Even trophies and honors that can only be won once in a lifetime.

Reaching the Champions League final does not actually require too much mobilization. Every player will try their best for this.

At the pre-match press conference at Old Trafford yesterday, Inter Milan head coach Yang Cheng joked that he would not slack off just because he had won the Champions League twice, because he felt that every time For him, the Champions League final is as exciting as the first time.

The TV camera naturally turned to Yang Cheng on the sidelines, and he saw that the Chinese man was wearing a graffiti shirt today. The English letters on it were some disaster relief slogans, both front and back. This was specially made for him by Sienna herself. Yes, it’s very nice, but more important are these slogans.

The Champions League final is very important. Yang Cheng hopes that through this move, the world will pay attention to China.

Just as an authoritative magazine commented not long ago, Yang Cheng's success has made the whole world look at China with admiration!

As if he knew the camera would be pointed at him, Yang Cheng even smiled, which looked very dazzling under the lights of Old Trafford.

Milan specially wore white jerseys today, which represent good luck and luck, because when Milan won the European Champions Cup three times before, they all wore white jerseys, so in order to follow this tradition, Milan wore white jerseys today. Go white and hope to beat Inter Milan and win the cup!

Just as the commentator was analyzing the situation of both sides, the players from both sides immediately dispersed, and Milan won the right to kick off.

…………

…………

Stable the start, don't rush to attack, do you understand?

Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and reminded Deco who was approaching.

Deco nodded, and after returning to the court, he immediately conveyed the boss's request to the surrounding teammates, especially Emerson. A large part of Inter Milan's rhythm was controlled by the Brazilian.

When Merck blew the whistle to start the game, Milan immediately kicked the ball out. Inter Milan players poured into Milan's position like a tide, and the players rushed forward at every opportunity.

The game started, and the players from both sides directly entered into a hand-to-hand battle. Milan started a calm kick in the backcourt, and Inter Milan's forward immediately moved forward to participate in the frontcourt press.

Inter Milan's defense focused on pressing in the frontcourt, but the overall team was retreating steadily and orderly, because Milan launched an attack as Yang Cheng expected after the opening, and created a threat in the first attack.

The ball bounced back and forth in Milan's midfield, and then quickly came from their left. Seedorf and Rui Costa cooperated, and Shevchenko was responsible for pulling it out for Inzaghi. Having found the gap, the Italian retreated to the edge of the penalty area to get the ball.

The player Inzaghi has very obvious advantages and disadvantages. Nesta is very familiar with this teammate. When he saw Inzaghi about to stop the ball, he just interfered and did not give him direct contact. When he had a chance at the goal, after he stopped the ball, he immediately took a stab and intercepted the ball.

Nesta's interception of the ball directly earned him the first round of applause after the game started. It was clean and beautiful.

Milan pressed high and launched a fierce press in the midfield. Inter Milan avoided the edge at the beginning and played steadily in their own half. Therefore, after Nesta intercepted the ball, the ball reached the midfield. , Gattuso successfully intercepted the ball.

Not long after, the ball came to the left again. Seedorf got the ball again. The Dutchman faced Zanetti's uphill grab on the left and directly kicked the ball behind him. Lucio was very fast and caught up with Scheff. Cenko previously cleared the ball into the frontcourt.

Maldini got stuck in his position early and beat Ronaldo to header Lucio's clearance back into the midfield.

Milan got the ball, quickly passed it back, and reorganized.

It can be seen that although the Rossoneri started the attack, there was no confusion at all.

The game was in a state of control from the beginning. Inter Milan intended to let Milan attack first, but the Rossoneri were not polite. They attacked directly at the beginning and firmly controlled the situation.

…………

…………

They don't seem to have many options!

Although the team is in an unfavorable situation, Yang Cheng is not anxious or worried at all.

Milan seemed to have a strong offensive, but in fact they didn't have many options. They didn't have an effective way to break down Inter Milan, especially when Rui Costa and Seedorf were cut apart by Inter Milan's midfield. After that, the opportunities they were able to create were much less.

Rafa, how long do you think they can maintain this offensive? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Benitez thought for a moment and said, 20 minutes!

The Champions League final is more competitive than usual, so he guessed 20 minutes.

Yang Cheng shook his head, It's too short, it's best to let them attack for a while longer!

Benitez was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.

…………

…………

Not long after Yang Cheng's words fell, in the 11th minute, Inter Milan launched the first effective counterattack in the game.

After Inter Milan successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt, it handed the ball to Gianluca Zambrotta on the left. The latter dribbled the ball along the left and then made a sudden long pass over the top, directly over Milan's entire line. The defense passed directly behind Maldini.

Van Nistelrooy was competing for speed with Maldini and Kaladze. The Dutchman would not lose to these two in terms of speed. He saw him get ahead of Maldini and hit the ball with his header. Behind Tam.

Stam chases back, but Ronaldo is faster than him.

The Brazilian had just passed Stam, and as soon as he touched the ball, he immediately wanted to sprint away and get rid of the clingy Dutchman. Unexpectedly, Stam pulled his jersey in a secret place, and then released it. Ronaldo His speed was a little limited, so he couldn't catch up with the ball after it was kicked out. Dida, who was attacked, got it.

Ronaldo was very dissatisfied with Stam's actions. Ruud van Nistelrooy immediately ran over and protested to Merck in German on Ronaldo's behalf, thinking that Stam was pulling something. Merck smiled and said the game continued.

Although Stam did not receive a warning or anything, this kind of protest will undoubtedly reduce Stam's impression in the mind of the referee. As long as he does something similar next time, the possibility of being warned or even yellow cards will increase. Not without.

Soon, Dida sent a goal kick. Lucio suddenly stepped forward and beat Rui Costa with a header to Pirlo. The Italian dribbled the ball forward and was met by Gattuso and Ambrosini. After interference, he handed over to the left.

Zambrotta cut forward and sprinted forward. After getting the ball, he passed through Milan's entire midfield and went directly to the back line of defense.

Costacurta saw Zambrotta approaching fiercely, and his teammates were looking at Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy. He immediately stood forward, gritted his teeth, and knocked Zambrotta down because he couldn't stop him at all. Gianluca Zambrotta couldn't help but rush.

Merck did not hesitate this time and directly showed a yellow card to Costacurta.

This is only the 16th minute!

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that both sides are as the outside world speculated. The focus of offense and defense is concentrated on Milan's right wing. Inter Milan also organizes and plans attacks and counterattacks through the left wing. Costacurta Getting a yellow card will undoubtedly become a curse on the Italians, now it depends on how Yang Cheng uses this.

After seeing Costacurta get a yellow card, Ancelotti walked to the sidelines excitedly and shouted at Gattuso and Ambrosini in the midfield, obviously feeling that they were attacking the right wing. Costacurta's protection was insufficient, especially for Gattuso.

Obviously knowing that Inter Milan will play on the left and attack on the right, Costacurta got another yellow card, which will make the veteran shrink back and find it difficult to show his strength.

Pirlo's free kick went directly into the penalty area. When Maldini was defending Van Nistelrooy, they pulled each other. Merck gave a verbal warning, but the free kick reached the back point and Van Nistelrooy was caught by Maldini. Tiny blocked it, turned it into an unanswered ball, went out of line, and turned it into a goal kick.

…………

…………

How long has it been? Yang Cheng looked very relaxed.

Nowadays, he really looks more and more like a famous coach. At the very least, even in such a crucial competition, he doesn't have any chaos at all and everything goes in an orderly manner.

His calm demeanor made the players around him and on the field feel relieved.

If even the head coach is anxious, shouldn't they be even more anxious?

19 minutes, almost 20 minutes! Paul Bayer replied.

Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled, It seems you guessed wrong, Rafa!

Benitez said before that Milan could attack for 20 minutes, but now it seems that it must be more than that.

The fat Spanish man shook his head and smiled bitterly, I think you are more like a bullfight!

Yang Cheng laughed after hearing this. He thought this metaphor was very interesting and appropriate.

Milan attacked from the beginning and were eager to score goals from the beginning. Inter Milan took advantage of this and did not fight against them. Instead, they first stabilized their defense and then slowly planned a counterattack. .

When the Rossoneri players are eager to score goals and are working hard to score, the team is like an angry bull, and Inter Milan is a bullfighter waving a red cloth. A counterattack is equivalent to So a jab was given to the bull.

The more you prod, the angrier the bull becomes and the more ferocious its attack will be.

But the more this happens, the more flaws and problems they will expose, and the greater the opportunities Inter Milan will have, especially when the bull is exhausted, it will almost be at your mercy. Slaughter.

Yang Cheng's tactics are not conservative. He still pays attention to the pressure and suppression in the midfield and frontcourt, and is actively looking for opportunities as always. It is just the starting tactics and mentality of both sides that make Inter Milan gradually improve over time. Take the initiative.

Fatty An should be like a gambler now. He has never dared to gamble in his life. I guess this time he will gamble, just whether he can score in the first half! Yang Cheng looked aside, Ancelotti His brows were furrowed and he looked sad.

His team seemed to be taking the initiative, but in fact it was still unable to turn the initiative into control, or in other words, he was unable to turn the advantage into goals, because Inter Milan tightly controlled this link and did not give Milan a chance.

If you carefully analyze Inter Milan's tactics, you will find that Inter Milan implemented a tightening tactic in the midfield and backcourt. The troops invested were only players in the middle, but they locked Rui Costa's ball outlet very well and completely froze it. Inzaghi was eliminated, and Shevchenko was almost missing.

This is also the most commonly used tactic by Serie A teams against Milan this season. Separate Rui Costa and Seedorf, and freeze Rui Costa's passes. In this way, the quality of Milan's offense will become very poor. , especially on the final pass.

After all, an attacking midfielder like Rui Costa will be greatly curbed by Inter Milan's tactics, whether he is getting the ball, controlling the ball or organizing passes, because of Yang Cheng's tactics There is always a tight defense in the 32-meter area of ​​the penalty area.

Yang Cheng even thought that if Milan were stronger, he would simply be conservative to death without hesitation, directly restrict Rui Costa, and launch defensive counterattack tactics more resolutely.

However, there is no doubt that Milan is not as strong as it is today.

…………

…………

Judging from the current situation, although Inter Milan is passive, they have organized defensive counterattacks in an orderly manner, so much so that their counterattacks pose a greater threat than Milan's active offense.

But judging from the tactics of both sides, Ancelotti's attacking tactics at the beginning undoubtedly require stability. He does not want to hand over control of the game to his opponent in vain, so in order to protect himself, he must attack for a while at the beginning and compete for it. Control of the game.”

On the contrary, it is a bit disappointing. Yang Cheng's tactics are very targeted and he has done a good job in restraining Milan. However, his tactics are not as bold and surprising as before. This is indeed a bit disappointing. But it’s not difficult to understand.”

Who is willing to take risks when one's own team has the upper hand and there is a more reliable way to defeat the opponent?

The on-site commentator was quite emotional about the current situation on the court.

If Inter Milan also presses out to play against Milan at the beginning, the scene will definitely become very beautiful, but in this case, Inter Milan will be stupid enough to give up its own advantage and directly engage in hand-to-hand combat and a war of attrition with Milan.

If he really does this, Yang Cheng's tactical arrangements will definitely be bombarded by countless professionals.

As a football player, Yang Cheng is definitely willing to see a hearty offensive football match, but as a head coach, he has to be realistic. If the blind pursuit of good looks and enjoyment results in losing the game and losing the Champions League, If so, then Yang Cheng would definitely not do this.

Besides, it’s not that Inter Milan’s current tactics are very conservative or ugly. After all, Zambrotta’s surprise and attack on the left also created a great threat during the game and brought a lot of trouble to Milan, especially It was the yellow card given to Costacurta that could change the situation of the game at any time.

When everyone thought that the game was likely to enter a typical Italian football mode, Yang Cheng asked about the time again, which proved that he had noticed the change in the situation.

An obvious signal is that Milan's offense has sluggish a lot.

It's been 33 minutes! Paul Bayer replied.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, These guys should have had enough trouble!

Benitez laughed. He knew very well that it was Inter Milan's performance time.

Yang Cheng, the bullfighter, had used the red cloth in his hand to drain most of the energy from Milan, the bull.

He started with a war of words before the game, and then deliberately asked them to wait in the tunnel for 5 minutes before the game started. Through this series of methods, he aroused the anger of the Milan players, coupled with Ancelotti's opening attack tactics, Yang Cheng was They must hold their breath throughout the first half and take the initiative to attack.

The sharper Inter Milan's counterattack, the greater the sting to Milan, and the more they want to score goals, because only goals can suppress Inter Milan's arrogance.

When they attack to a certain level and their physical energy is almost exhausted, the opportunity for Inter Milan to counterattack will come.

According to Benister, if the first half is defended until the end, Milan's arrogant spirit after the opening is worn away, and then Inter Milan launches a vigorous counterattack at the beginning of the second half, the chance of winning will be greater. However, Yang Cheng examined the current situation. After the situation and Milan's previous performance, he decided to counterattack in advance.

While they are low-key now, give them a heavy blow. No matter whether they can score a goal or not, at least you can tell Milan and let them understand, boy, we let you, I really thought you were that awesome. ah!

Yang Cheng's words made the assistants around him laugh. @.
