Super Marshal

It's no secret that AC Milan have had problems.

Even at the Milanello training base, everyone has reached a consensus on this.

In the first 14 rounds, the team conceded a total of 15 goals, but in the last seven rounds, they conceded 10 goals. Obviously, as the season progressed, the team's defense performance dropped sharply due to the continuous operation of multiple fronts.

According to the current data, the team can only compete with Udinese, Palermo and other teams at most.

Inter Milan and Juventus?

That is impossible to catch up with flattery.

Everyone is thinking, what is wrong with AC Milan's defense?

The defense is basically uninjured and sick, Gattuso is as brave as ever, only Ambrosini is injured, and the Milan midfielder played in the game, the Rossoneri maintained an unbeaten record.

Is it because of him?

Ancelotti doesn’t think so. He thinks it’s caused by many factors, especially the team’s tactics and players’ status fluctuations, especially the many veterans in the team, so that the team can cope with multi-line battles. Very strenuous.

If it's just the back line, then it's fine, but now even the front line has gone wrong.

"Vieri told me just now that he is ready to play Inter Milan, at least he wants to come off the bench."

In Milanello's head coach's office, Ancelotti stood in front of Tassotti and other members of the coaching staff, sighing bitterly, "This is the second time he has challenged me this week."

Vieri joined AC Milan with great ambitions, but in the Rossoneri, he was not reused at all.

There is no way to do this. Shevchenko, Inzaghi and Gilardino are AC Milan's forwards.

Even the golden boy Cassano, who was transferred from Rome with a lot of money this season, had to retreat to the second line, and it was difficult to appear on the front line. As a result, this bad-tempered uncle Cassano was very upset.

If other teams are troubled by the shortage of major generals, then Ancelotti's striker is troubled by overcrowding.

I really answered an ancient poem, the rich wine and meat stinks, and the road is frozen to death.

"Pippo also called me, he also wanted to play Inter Milan, and he said that he has an advantage in playing Inter Milan."

Ancelotti said this, shook his head with a wry smile.

Everyone knows that after Gao Han entered Inter Milan, he adopted a strategy of aggressively attacking. This is indeed quite suitable for Inzaghi, who is good at anti-offside, but the problem is that AC Milan has other forwards.

"After training yesterday, Shevchenko and Gilardino both said the same thing to me. They both want to play against Inter Milan. I don't know. Since when did Inter Milan become like this? It's in demand." Ancelotti smiled helplessly.

If it is said that Vieri wanted to play Inter Milan because of some previous personal grievances, then Gilardino, Shevchenko and Inzaghi wanted to grab this main position, obviously to prove that they are in the team. the value of.

At the same time, they all want to break the goal of Inter Milan.

Since Gao Han entered Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri have not only become a thorn in the side of all Serie A coaches, but even the players are eager to fight Inter Milan. Everyone knows that the outstanding performance against Inter Milan has attracted attention. Far more than playing ten other league games.

This is especially true for forwards who score goals.

"As a head coach, there is really no one who can be as high as Gao Han!" Ancelotti shook his head and smiled wryly.

Everyone else also laughed helplessly.

Gao Han's appeal is not only reflected in his cultivation and reuse of players, but also opponents.

In this regard, there is indeed no one else can compare.

"Tell me, what should we do?" Ancelotti looked at the assistants and asked.

Everyone also looked at each other in blank dismay, which was indeed a big problem.

Just like the game against Schalke 04, Shevchenko and Gilardino started the game. As a result, Dainzaghi sat on the bench and sulked. After Shevchenko got off, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead was also angry, and walked off the field expressionlessly, even refusing to say hello to Ancelotti.

After the game, Dainzaghi said in an interview with the media that he was very angry that he could not play before he retired, but he can still express it reasonably now, but if this continues, he does not know how long he can endure.

Anyone can hear that this is a threat.

Shevchenko was more direct. The Ukrainian striker has been linked with Chelsea recently and complained directly after the game. He played very well against Schalke 04 and has no idea why the manager should Replace him.

The meaning is also very clear, if you want to change, why not change Gilardino, who is in a worse state?

Then he said: "He is the head coach, whoever plays and who doesn't play, the choice is with him. I have nothing to say, but I hope I can have my own choice."

The meaning is still very clear, this is also a threat, and even means that he has already moved the idea of ​​​​transfer.

But what did Gilardino say?

The Italian center said, "I'm not used to rotating with people. For me, rotation is a very unfamiliar vocabulary. When I was in Parma, I started every game. I am used to this rhythm."

The meaning of the local center who played the most games this season is also very clear, he must stand firm as the main player.

Plus a Vieri who sits on the bench from time to time, but faintly becomes a landmine...

The situation Ancelotti is facing now, for anyone, can't help but feel overwhelmed.

If it is said that multiple players compete for the main force and each other is in good condition, then it does not matter, the big deal is to play in turns, but the problem is that the state of these three forwards has not been ideal recently.

Since Shevchenko returned from injury, he has not been able to regain his form. Although there was a performance of four goals in a single game in the Champions League, it was nothing more than an explosion, and soon fell into dead silence.

Gilardino has also failed to score in many games, and Inzaghi is also intermittent and his performance is very unstable. As for Vieri, he has lost his main position for a long time and is not valued by Ancelotti.

In other words, several forwards of AC Milan are not in good condition, but it can also be said that they urgently need to get back to the state of scoring through the stimulation of the game, so they attach so much importance to stable appearances.

"What should I do?" Ancelotti asked his assistant team again.

Now he feels that his whole body is as big as a bucket, and he is really exhausted.

But none of the assistants could answer his question.

Moreover, they all know in their hearts that the weak striker is only one of AC Milan's problems.

As a guest at the Meazza Stadium and challenged Inter Milan, AC Milan is also facing a more serious problem.

That's defense!

…………

…………

The same Thursday, the same morning, when Ancelotti was discussing how to deal with Inter Milan with his assistants in Milanello, Gao Han was also studying AC Milan with his assistants in Pinettina.

Just yesterday, Inter Milan just defeated Parma 1-0 in an away game and won the first round of the knockout round of the Coppa Italia. It was also the Nerazzurri's first victory in the Coppa Italia this season.

The only goal came from Kroos.

This Argentine center is still very trustworthy. Although most of them play as a rotation role, he can perform well every time he starts and substitutes, which makes Gao Han trust him very much and let the team sign him a long time ago. Brand new contract.

Palermo has been pursuing Cruise, and Gao Han is also trying to break Palermo's thoughts early.

Cruise also has some opinions on his role in Inter Milan. He hopes to play more games. Gao Han also promised to arrange for him to play as much as possible. At the same time, he is very sure of his role and performance in the team. The Argentine stays.

As soon as the contract was renewed, Cruz started and scored goals in the Coppa Italia.

This made Inter Milan very satisfied, and at the same time more confident in the next Milan derby.

Because in the game against Parma, Gao Han had a full rotation of six starting lineups, and even the goalkeeper arranged for Toldo to start, just to save his energy for AC Milan.

"The most threatening player in AC Milan is Kaka. I know him very well. He has been the most stable and threatening attacking player in AC Milan in the past period of time. We must seal him."

Gao Han's words were immediately recognized by the coaching staff.

"You're right, if you want to freeze Kaka, you have to try not to let him have the space to sprint, or minimize his chances to get the ball." Cantarero is also very familiar with Kaka, "We all know that once Kaka sprinted and no one could stop him."

Breaking through with the ball at high speed has become one of Kaka's signature moves across La Liga and Serie A, and it is also his sharpest and most threatening weapon.

"But we can't ignore Kaka's accomplishments in possession and assists." Guardiola reminded.

He used to be a teammate with Kaka, and he knows Kaka very well, so he knows that Kaka can not only dribble and break through at high speed, but also has outstanding pass control and assist ability, but the front weapon is too amazing. It greatly concealed the demeanor of the latter weapon and was ignored by people.

Gao Han nodded and said: "Ordinary defense is difficult to completely restrict Kaka. We need to fight as a team and rely on our midfielder."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Players like Kaka with outstanding personal abilities must either arrange special personnel to guard them closely, or deploy targeted tactics to control local areas, try to weaken Kaka's threat, and even be unrestrained when fouls are due. ground foul.

Sometimes, fouling is also a very effective tactic, which can not only slow down the opponent, but also interrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Of course, the premise is that the foul must be far away from the threat area.

"Cambiasso should be able to do it," Guardiola suggested.

For this Argentine midfielder with the title of Redondo II, Guardiola still admires it very much. He even wonders why Real Madrid will give up this excellent midfielder?

Gao Han also agrees with this very much. Cambiasso has performed better and more stable this season than last season. Although he is a single midfielder, he has both offense and defense, which is very in line with his tactical requirements.

"A two-on-three training will be arranged this afternoon and tomorrow morning." Gao Han ordered.

Two against three?

Everyone was a little surprised at first, and then suddenly realized.

There is really no secret to AC Milan's tactics, Ancelotti is notoriously unchanging.

In this Milan derby, Kaka must be a double forward partner. Pirlo's right is Gattuso, and if there is no accident on the left, it will probably be Seedorf.

Gao Han specially arranged two-on-three, obviously to let Figo and Veron suppress AC Milan's three midfielders.

Maybe even this trick will become the winner of the Milan Derby.
