Chapter 230 Milan has a great advantage, Milan A has gone up

Amidst the cheers all over the sky, the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, which has attracted much attention, officially kicked off!
Even now, in the stands of San Siro, the cries of "Pan Yi!" and "Pan Yi!" can still be heard.

But soon, more people turned their attention to the ongoing fierce competition.

Now on the sidelines, Allegri stood in the coach's command area at the beginning of the game, waving at the players on the field.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's foothold was not stable at the beginning, and use the advantage of the home field to attack and see if he could steal one!
And Pan Yi also rarely sat on the bench, but also stood in the command area to watch the game, but he was not as excited as Allegri.

He was also slightly worried about the start.

Because of these Hamburg players on the field, except for Salah and Van Dijk, none of them has experience in the Champions League.

In fact, even Salah and Van Dijk did not have many appearances in the Champions League last season.

In other words, this group of players may not be able to adapt to the atmosphere of the Champions League.

Coupled with the fact that AC Milan, which has the DNA of the Champions League, is still playing at home in San Siro, it is normal for Hamburg to appear a little cautious after the opening.

Therefore, Pan Yi just hopes that the players can stabilize their position first, withstand Milan's three tricks, and then slowly find their own rhythm.

As for the self-adjustment ability of the Hamburg players, Pan Yi now has great confidence in them.

But it is clear that Allegri's Milan is not prepared to give Hamburg too much breathing time.

In just 20 seconds of the opening, Milan played a good frontcourt attack.

When Mane faced Carvajal on the left, he pretended to go to the bottom, but he dunked the ball and cut inside to the corner of the penalty area.

When teammate Van Dijk came to make up the defense, Mane, who knew the opponent's strength, made a direct cross. The "Bashen" Balotelli in the middle kicked without hesitation, but the ball was blocked by Rudiger. .

After the ball flew to the periphery, Milan's midfielder Montolivo also rushed over and volleyed directly.

But Navas was very focused, turned the ball over the crossbar, and Milan got a corner kick.

Montolivo took the corner kick, Van Dijk grabbed the first point and pushed the ball out, but he couldn't push it too far. Milan striker Niang, who was standing near the penalty spot, scored a header from the spot and went slightly wide. Uprights.

In just over a minute of the opening, AC Milan made three consecutive attacks, posing a big threat to Hamburg's gate.

And such a good opening performance also made the Milan fans on the scene keep sending drums and cheers to the home team.

At this time, no one called Pan Yi's name anymore.

They only care about whether their home team can win this crucial group match!

After all, in such a UEFA Champions League group consisting of three teams, especially the death group where each team is very strong, the results of home games are particularly important.

If you want to qualify, especially if you want to qualify as the first in the group, three home games are almost impossible to miss.

In most cases, if you can win all the home games and get 9 points, then as long as you can get one or two victories or draws in the away game, you can get about 12 points, you can guarantee to qualify, or even No. .1 out.

Whether No.1 or No.2 qualify is very important for every team!
After all, the knockout round of 16 after qualifying determines who their respective opponents will be.

If you can qualify as the top of the group, then the opponent will be No.2 in other groups, and the strength will be relatively weaker, and it will be easier to pass.

But if it is the second place in the group, then wait to draw giants like Real Madrid and Bayern!
Of course, just like the league, sometimes you may not be able to qualify for a high score, and sometimes you may not be unable to qualify for a low score... It depends on fate.

Taking this season's Champions League group stage as an example, Pan Yi's memories of watching games in his previous life told him that two extremes will appear immediately-as long as the timeline develops according to the normal situation.

In Group F, in the end Naples, Dortmund and Arsenal all had 4 wins and 2 losses with 12 points. Naples was eliminated because of the least goal difference in the direct comparison of the relationship between the three.

At the same time, this is also the highest score that theoretically cannot qualify!Naples has also become this unlucky guy.

At the same time, in Group G, Zenit only had 1 win, 3 draws, 2 losses and only 6 points, which is only half of Naples' points.

But they overwhelmed Porto and Vienna, which performed even worse, and qualified for the second place in the group!

12 points out, 6 points out, where does Naples go?
Therefore, the 12-point qualifying just mentioned is only theoretical. Each team will still strive to play well in each group match and strive for more points, so as not to let themselves fall into an embarrassing situation like Naples to go.

It's only the first round now, and Milan is home again. Of course, they will be more eager for a victory to start this season's Champions League journey!

Therefore, coaches like Allegri are not conservative, and commanded the Milan generals to launch a fierce attack on Hamburg from the beginning.

After withstood Milan's three consecutive attacks, Pan Yi also shouted at the players on the field: "Steady! Stabilize!"

He wanted the Hamburg players to remember what they had done in training, and let them remember the strategy of the game arranged by the coaching staff, so he kept reminding them on the sidelines.

As long as he doesn't panic under Milan's opening attack and at the same time explores the details of Milan, Pan Yi believes that with Hamburg's current strength, as long as Allegri exposes problems at the tactical level, the team will definitely catch them.

It's just that Pan Yi's reminder, in the eyes of the cameras on the sidelines, is that the head coach of Hamburg is a little anxious.

The live TV camera specially gave him a close-up, as if to highlight his anxiety at this moment.

After all, Pan Yi gives people the impression that he has always been very calm, which was the case when he played Bayern in the Super Cup.

But now that he stood up and shouted at the players, he must be nervous!

After all, he is a "rookie coach" who has never directed a Champions League game independently, so it is normal to be nervous!

In the eyes of Allegri, the Italian coach also grinned.

Sure enough, Pan Yi before the game was just stubborn!

Are you exposed now?At the San Siro, how do you play against me?
When facing a strong team, shrinking back and playing defense is not Pan Yi's forte. This is what he suggested and implemented when he played Barcelona in Milan.

And if Milan can defeat the shrinking opponent with an offensive posture when facing Hamburg today, then there is no doubt that Allegri's status in the minds of Milan fans will also be greatly improved.

Is this the Pan Yi you are thinking of?Pan Yi who can play beautiful offense?

In front of my wise and mighty Allegri, why don't you obediently defend and surrender the white flag obediently!

"As long as my three midfielders can completely suppress their three midfielders, then Pan Yi will not have any chance in this game, and will only be pressed in their backcourt and passively beaten."

When Allegri thought of this, there was even a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"From now on, when people mention AC Milan, they will only think of Allegri's team, not Pan Yi."

"Even if you mention Pan Yi, you will only think of his complete defeat at the San Siro Stadium today, after my mercury-like attack completely tore his ugly defense apart!"

This is indeed the most desirable outcome.

Using the way Milan fans like to see most, defeating Pan Yi in the way they think Pan Yi is best at is the fastest way to make Milan fans forget Pan Yi quickly.

Today, the [-] San Siro fans will witness how Allegri shattered their beautiful illusions about Pan Yi.

After today, they will know that AC Milan already has a head coach who is the best in the world and can play the best offense.

Milan doesn't need Pan Yi!
……

AC Milan's three midfielders are indeed tough.

The first is "Wu Yi Meng" Muntari.

Although he is not a skilled player, his foot skills and ball feel are a bit rough, and he has no breakthrough ability, and cannot create threats through personal abilities;
But he is very active in defense, has a certain ability in confrontation and fighting, and can help the midfield defense.

On the offensive end, he also has a good long pass and the ability to attack after a long distance.In addition, his long-range shots are also very threatening.

In short, it is very grabbing!
Then there is "Literary Mongolia" Montolivo.

He is almost the opposite of Muntari, with beautiful feet, good ball control, light movements, excellent long-range shots, wide passing vision and full of creativity.

Montolivo, who became famous at a young age, is known as "the new generation of Roberto Baggio", and he was considered a genius midfielder when he was young.

Later, his position gradually changed and he became a defensive midfielder, but his technical characteristics also made him highly anticipated by Milan fans, hoping to become the next Pirlo.

However, similar to Pirlo, his physical fitness and defensive ability are shortcomings, so he needs the help of his midfield teammates.

But Montolivo will not be ambiguous when he needs him to actively defend, but it is often the price of red and yellow cards.At this time, Milan fans will laugh and say that "Literary Mongolian" has completed the transformation into "Wu Yimeng".

The last one is even more heavyweight.

Nigel de Jong!
People in the rivers and lakes call "South De Rong, North Pepe" De Rong is also.

Being able to be as famous as the monk Pepe shows how fierce De Jong is.

There are many players named De Jong in the history of Dutch football. Among them, Nigel De Jong can be remembered by fans, but he is always mentioned by everyone for his tough defense and must-have players.

His most famous "work" is that he kicked into the chest of Spanish midfielder Alonso in the World Cup final in South Africa, causing the opponent's rib fracture, but only received a yellow card.

While playing for Manchester City, he also broke the fibula of the talented player Alpha with a flying tackle.

Later, when he was playing in the major leagues, there were similar flying shovels that caused opposing players to rely on wheelchairs to travel.

And he also played for Hamburg for three years, and today he is facing his old club, and he wants to show a "bright" performance.

Therefore, Allegri is obviously very confident in his three favorite midfielders, and also believes that they can restrain the performance of Hamburg's midfielder, and then use offense to severely hit Hamburg's defense!

……

But now, under Pan Yi's frequent shouting, the mentality of the Hamburg players has gradually relaxed.

They are actively fighting and trying to keep the ball under their feet, so that the rhythm of the game gradually returns to Hamburg.

They also did not rush to carry out high-intensity frontcourt pressing, but concentrated their personnel more in the midfield area.

This is also the characteristic of Hamburg this season, that is, it will be more resilient in the face of the opponent's strong attack. First, it will start a midfield competition with the opponent in a leisurely manner, and once the control is in hand, it will immediately launch a stormy attack. .

But judging from the scene, it seems that Milan is still taking more offensive initiative, while Hamburg is being beaten passively.

This also makes everyone, including Allegri, feel that Hamburg may really be the kind of inexperienced recruit.

Although they seemed unstoppable in the Bundesliga, they were so scared that they wet their pants as soon as they arrived in the Champions League where there were so many strong players.

Although this idea is a bit biased, it is not unreasonable.

Many teams, especially teams dominated by young players, often have this kind of thing happen. When they get nervous, they are completely out of state, and they can't play any technical and tactical level.

This is also the reason for the saying that "a family is like a treasure".

Including AC Milan in Pan Yi's previous life, on the road to revival, old players like Ibrahimovic and Giroud slowly returned to the forefront of Serie A with a group of young people, and finally regained the championship.

But in the current Hamburg team, the oldest player in the starting lineup is the 26-year-old goalkeeper Keylor Navas, and he is not an experienced veteran. Everyone thinks it is normal for them to panic under the pressure of Milan. It's over.

As a result, Allegri began to invest more troops on the offensive end.

Take advantage of your illness and kill you!
It is to get a few of these children in Hamburg when they are still nervous and not standing still. Even if they recover by then, it will be too late.

Since then, De Sciglio and Abate have put more and more pressure on both sides, and Milan's two flanks have also become more active in attacking, which makes AC Milan look more powerful when attacking.

And Hamburg is still calmly coping.

Pan Yi also made fine adjustments to the team's ball control method based on Milan's current offensive style.

He asked the Hamburg players not to rush forward after getting the ball, but to return to their own half to adjust, and then gradually move forward through the pass in the midfield.

The purpose of doing this is to induce Milan players to counter-rob on the spot instead of defensively.

Pan Yi saw the space left behind by Milan's pressure on both sides, and if Milan's forwards and full-backs are busy counter-attacking and cannot return in time, Hamburg will use Van Dijk and Rudiger's good long-passing ability to play against Milan. Afterwards, opportunities can be created.

Sure enough, not long after Pan Yi made the adjustment, it had an effect.

Hamburg's ball was passed back to the back line, and Milan's three forwards immediately began to press up and prepare to press because they were standing in Hamburg's backcourt.

But among the three forwards, Mane's fighting is very active, Niang is also okay, but Balotelli feels a bit pretentious.

He belongs to the kind of very talented football player, but he is very unqualified in terms of teamwork, work dedication, including tactical discipline and other mental attributes, which also prevents him from becoming a true world-class superstar.

The pressing in the frontcourt requires the unity and cooperation of team members. If one teammate is rushing and the other two teammates do not help to block the opponent's passing line, there is no way to be effective anyway.

So after a few passes in Hamburg's defense, Milan failed to grab the ball.

At this time, the two full-backs pressing up from behind Milan also came to help.

Now Milan has a great advantage, Milan A is up! ...

De Sciglio saw Van Dijk was on the ball and rushed straight at him, trying to make a jump when he was about to pass.

But Van Dijk played the ball faster than De Sciglio imagined.

In other words, Van Dijk had already seen the flaws revealed by the opponent at this moment when the opponent's two full-backs came up!
And this is what Pan Yi has always asked him to do during tactical training.

In the seemingly aimless kicking process just now, he was actually observing the position of every player on the opponent!
And now, the opportunity has finally come.

After Van Dijk swung his long feet, the ball quickly flew over half of the court from the backcourt and landed on the left side of Milan's penalty area.

I saw that Salah was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through Milan's defense in an instant, crossing Zapata, and quickly chasing the ball.

Milan's other central defender, Mexes, was shocked and threw off Mitrovic, who was defending him, to chase Salah, but it was too late, and it was impossible to catch up with Salah who was advancing at full speed with his speed. heh.

The Milan goalkeeper Ederson reacted quickly and directly abandoned the goal to attack.

This is also one of his characteristics.

Unlike those traditional goalkeepers, he has a very wide attack range and can even be used as a late sweeper in many cases.

But this time, Salah was faster than him.

When Ederson just ran near the penalty spot, Salah had already controlled the ball and saw Edlin's running position, so he made a light pick.

Edson jumped high and blocked the air with both hands, but he couldn't stop the ball from flying past.

Shocked, he turned around and was about to run back, but he saw that the ball had drawn a wonderful parabola and fell directly into the goal he was guarding.

"The ball has been scored!" He Wei's voice followed.

"In the 20th minute, Hamburg opened the scoring and took the lead away from home!!!"

"It was a wonderful long ball from the back to instigate the attack, from the connection of two old Milan players. Van Dijk passed the ball and Salah scored!"

"Hamburg created the first goal of the game with a sharp counterattack!"

"This goal is also very beautiful. Salah's lob shot was just right, just over Ederson's head, and just got into the goal from the lower edge of the crossbar!"

The Hamburg players all rushed towards the goal hero Salah, but the Egyptian pharaoh waved his hand and made a gesture of apology.

Everyone understands.

Salah was unwilling to celebrate when he scored against his old club. This is also an expression of respect and respect for his old club.

So, the players just went over and touched Salah's head to congratulate him, and they didn't celebrate much.

At this time, in the San Siro Stadium, in addition to the cheers of the Hamburg fans in the visiting team's stand, there were scattered applause from the stands of the home team.

This is an applause dedicated to Salah, to this old Milan player!
This is also the greatest respect that Milan fans can express to the young player who once made great contributions to Milan's victory in the Triple Crown.

On the sidelines, Pan Yi also worked hard to control his emotions, not letting himself jump up excitedly.

You know, this is his first goal in the Champions League after he became the head coach!

This is a very memorable goal!

But he is in San Siro now, in front of tens of thousands of Milan fans who love him, so of course he can't be too excited.

So now Pan Yi tensed himself up, clenched his right fist and slapped his thigh, which looked a little funny.

But in his heart, he was very happy at the moment!
Because the whole process of this goal was basically developed in Pan Yi's expectation and finally scored.

As a head coach, the happiest moment is when the players on the field strictly implement the tactics you arrange, and then score goals and win on the field.

That kind of feeling is like the commander-in-chief of a large army, commanding thousands of troops to attack the city and conquer the land, invincible.

Although you didn't end up killing the enemy yourself, that feeling is more enjoyable than how many enemies you have killed yourself!
In this attack, Hamburg first took advantage of the inconsistency of the attacking rhythm of Milan's forward group, and successfully lured both of their full-backs to step forward to assist.

Then he used Van Dijk's long pass to hit behind Milan, and Salah's rapid advance also highlighted the weakness of Milan's two central defenders who were not fast, and finally scored the ball easily.

In other words, this long-pass attack, while perfectly implementing Pan Yi's tactics, also played out the advantages of Hamburg, and at the same time completely took advantage of Milan's shortcomings.

This also reflects Pan Yi's sharpness in pre-match preparation and on-the-spot command!
After calmly hugging his assistants and celebrating the goal for a while, Pan Yi continued to signal to the players on the field to keep steady and not rush forward.

Milan will definitely find a way to counterattack after losing the ball, but it is likely to learn a lesson and will not attack as aggressively as it did in the beginning.

At this time, Hamburg will take advantage of their slowing down, continue to regain possession of the ball, and gradually exert their strength, so as to bring the game into the rhythm they are most familiar with.

As long as it is in the rhythm of the game in Hamburg, Pan Yi is not afraid of Milan.

But this time, Pan Yi didn't guess what Allegri was thinking.

In other words, Allegri's desire to win this game has far exceeded Pan Yi's imagination!

After Milan conceded a goal behind, Allegri gradually became irritable on the sidelines.

He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, waving his arms frantically in the command area, and let the Milan players press and press!
This momentum is probably saying:

"Brothers, come on! I limit you to get back the score within 1 minute! Otherwise, you will have good fruit to eat!"
