Super Marshal

"Today's AC Milan is in a critical metabolic period."

When Ancelotti was studying Atletico Madrid in Milanello, Gao Han and his coaching staff also met in Mahadahnda to discuss the UEFA Cup final opponent.

Gao Han's chief assistant coach Cantarello is analyzing the specific situation of AC Milan.

"Since the 1998-99 season, when AC Milan won the Serie A championship, the aging of the Rossoneri began to be exposed, and the results have also been declining. In 2000, they only got the third place in the league, and in 2001 they fell to Sixth in the league."

Speaking of which, Cantarero switched to a slideshow on the screen showing the ups and downs of AC Milan's team's average age over the past few seasons, as well as the age of the team's signings.

"In Italy, football and politics are very closely combined. In June 2001, Berlusconi defeated his opponent and was elected as the Prime Minister of Italy. AC Milan played a role in promoting it, and he also fulfilled his promise. Last year A huge investment was made in the summer to bring in stars including Rui Costa and Inzaghi."

When Cantarero said this, he suddenly smiled, "It is said that they have invested more than 100 million yuan."

When everyone in the conference room heard this, they all laughed in unison.

This can be regarded as a bad taste of the members of the Atletico Madrid coaching staff, who like to tease the opponent's investment.

In Gao Han's words, no matter how much you invest, there is no less than me anyway.

"Although the investment is huge, there are hidden dangers, that is, too much concentration in the midfield, and the weak defense has not introduced strong support. This has also planted hidden dangers for AC Milan, coupled with the problem of the head coach."

Cantarero switched slides again, and an unfamiliar photo appeared.

"This is Trim, the emperor of Turkey. He became famous in Galatasaray, but he shined in Florence. He once had an excellent record of defeating AC Milan 4-0. Last summer, he entered many clubs including Barcelona. The team's coaching list."

Suddenly, Cantarero smiled paradoxically, "But he is not the first choice of AC Milan."

"It is reported that Berlusconi and Galliani's first consideration is Ancelotti of Juventus. Although the coach's defensive style has been questioned, he is very interested in AC Milan. From Kei to Capello, and now to Ancelotti, it can be said to be in the same strain."

"However, Ancelotti was still in Juventus at the time, obviously unable to agree to AC Milan, so he finally chose Trim, but the conflict between the management and Trim, from the two sides' team transformation plan It can be seen that the aggressive style advocated by the latter, especially the offensive style, is not accepted by the management."

"In the end, after ten rounds, AC Milan ranked fifth. Coupled with the conflicts with the management and the locker room, Trim dismissed get out of class, Ancelotti temporarily put out the fire, and took over the Rossoneri."

Cantarero switched to a slide again, which turned into a comparison of Ancelotti's record before and after he came to power.

"Through comparison, we can see that after Carlo Ancelotti came to power, the team's performance has not changed much and improved. It is currently ranked sixth, and Bitrim is still one place behind. The offense is also much inferior, but the defense But it’s a lot more stable.”

"In terms of the team's formation, Ancelotti once tried the four-four-two formation used in Juventus, but AC Milan lacked two wings, so the results were not ideal, and it became Trim's four-three formation. One-two formation."

"There are three defensive midfielders in the midfield, Rui Costa plays the front midfielder, Pirlo introduced from Inter Milan this season is a substitute, and the double forwards are Shevchenko and Inzaghi, but such a luxurious attacking formation does not have to be played. It can bring attack power to AC Milan."

"Based on the situation this season, AC Milan's problem is not Trim or Ancelotti, but the team's defense is too weak, so recently, Galliani has also made it clear that he will bring in Milan in the summer. Powerful defenders, it is reported that Nesta and Cannavaro have been divided by the Milan duo."

Gao Han has also heard this rumor. It is said that Inter Milan has settled for Nesta, but there is no official announcement yet.

However, some Spanish media said that Real Madrid was involved in Nesta's transfer, who knows?

After Cantarero finished his general situation of AC Milan this season, analyst Sergio Garcia stepped onto the podium.

He is a data analysis expert in Gao Han's coaching team, so everything depends on data.

"We counted AC Milan's record this season. If they are ranked by their home record, among the 18 teams in Serie A, they can only rank tenth, which is in the middle and lower reaches. But if they are ranked by their away record , they came in fourth, pretty good."

"According to the ranking of scoring ability, AC Milan should be ranked seventh. This is completely inconsistent with their superstar-studded attacking lineup. The average scoring rate is only 1.3, but if they count conceded goals, they conceded goals in Serie A. The third least team concedes a goal per game."

Speaking of this, Sergio Garcia did not forget to add a sentence.

"Above AC Milan, Roma's average conceded goals per game is 0.7, and Juventus's is 0.68. Serie A's defense is indeed quite good. However, compared with us, there is still a gap."

Everyone laughed out loud at his words.

Atlético de Madrid this season is indeed too amazing. Whether it is offense or defense, they are the best in La Liga, and they are even in the European arena.

Gao Han coughed heavily, reminding everyone present not to get too complacent.

Looking at Sergio Garcia again, "Don't make those messy things, kid, let's get some real stuff."

"Of course, of course." Sergio Garcia quickly restrained himself.

"From AC Milan's home and away data and goal and goal data, it is not difficult to find that the offense of this team is very problematic. Although there are many stars, it lacks offensive means, so when they encounter a defensive team, The results were very poor.”

Everyone also nodded in agreement.

Everyone knows that the visiting team is always more conservative and the home team is more proactive.

"In addition, we also analyzed all the goals and conceded goals of AC Milan this season. We found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the Rossoneri conceded half and half goals in the second half. The gap is not very big, but the first half Most of the goals conceded were concentrated in the first 20 minutes, or even the first 10 minutes."

"Many of the goals conceded in the second half were concentrated after 75 minutes. It's not that they didn't concede the ball between 20 minutes and 75 minutes, but in terms of proportion, there were not many, which became an icon. This U-shape shown above."

Everyone looked at the slides on the screen, and all the data were clear and organized at a glance.

"So, dare I say, this is a team that is slow to start, not good at opening games, and has a lot of physical problems."

When Sergio Garcia said this, everyone present already knew it.

The answer given by the analysis team is obviously consistent with Cantarello's previous judgment, and at the same time it is more in-depth and detailed.

So, after hearing Sergio Garcia's verdict, Cantarero chuckled.

"They are slow and not good at opening the game, but we are famous for being the best at opening the game, isn't that just right?"

Everyone in the conference room burst into laughter again.

But Sergio Garcia's dry stuff is obviously more than that. After everyone laughed, the guy slowly switched to the next slide.

"This is the fatal injury of AC Milan!"

…………

…………

Through analysis and research, the opponent's fatal weakness is found, and the next step is to arrange targeted training.

Gao Han's team has long been familiar with all this, and they are methodical in doing things.

While Atletico Madrid is actively preparing for the UEFA Cup final, La Liga is also proceeding step by step.

In the thirty-fourth round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid defeated Tenerife 2-1 in an away game.

The latter is fighting for relegation, fighting very tenaciously at home, causing Atletico Madrid a lot of trouble.

This also makes many Atletico Madrid fans feel proud.

Also newly promoted, Tenerife is relegation, but Atletico Madrid won the championship ahead of schedule.

Also after this game, Gao Han held a meeting with the club management and finally decided that the team will further increase the UEFA Cup winning bonus, which also greatly excited the team.

A week later, in the thirty-fifth round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid sat at the Calderon Stadium and beat Real Sociedad 3-0.

Interestingly, the three goals were scored in the twelfth, sixteenth and twenty-ninth minutes.

But the media didn't notice anything, they just exclaimed that Atletico Madrid ended the game early in half an hour, and their attack power was superb.

However, what is even more interesting is that Real Sociedad, which had just scored three goals at the Calderon Stadium, returned to their home court and beat Real Madrid by three goals.

The two teams in the same city played two rounds together, but the results were very different. This has also become a big interesting talk in the Spanish media.

Atletico Madrid defeated Real Mallorca 3-1 away in the thirty-sixth round of La Liga.

Facing the steel defense of Aragones, although Atletico Madrid opened the scoring in the eighth minute, they failed to open the situation after that, and did not score again until the second half.

It was only at the last moment that Luke scored a face-saving goal for Real Mallorca. As for Eto'o, who Aragones is very optimistic about, he continued to slump and showed no improvement.

But with the same defensive formation, Real Mallorca was a guest at the Bernabéu Stadium a week later, drawing 0-0 with the star-studded Real Madrid, abruptly sending Benitez's Valencia to the second place in the league throne.

Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo 3-0 at home. The goal occurred in the 18th minute of the first half, and the 78th and 80th minutes of the second half.

What's more interesting is that in the last round of La Liga, facing Real Madrid, which is aiming to compete for the runner-up of the league, Deportivo was unceremonious, and vented all the dissatisfaction and resentment at the Calderon Stadium on the Galacticos.

Three to zero, Super Deportivo vented hard on Real Madrid.

Now Irueta finally enjoyed it!

Atletico Madrid defeated Valencia 1-0 away.

Benitez's team held on until the last moment, but ultimately failed to stop Atletico Madrid's goal.

Thirty-eight rounds of victory, Atlético de Madrid created a great feat unprecedented in the history of La Liga, so that all the fans of the Sheets fell into madness, and even attracted the amazement of the whole of Europe.

At the same time, it also made everyone focus on the UEFA Cup final three days later.

It's just... can Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan stop this crazy army of sheets?
