Chapter 231 There is a problem with the person who executes the tactics
"Is Allegri crazy?"

Pan Yi on the side tilted his head and looked at Allegri, thinking involuntarily.

Pan Yi really didn't expect it.

The goal of Hamburg just now obviously caught the loophole of Milan's front line pressing up, especially after the two full-backs pressed up, and succeeded in one hit.

In this case, shouldn't you stabilize yourself and let your players stand in their positions first, so as to avoid the same thing from happening again?
And now, Allegri is ignoring all of this, and still let everyone overwhelm?
Frustrated!
There are only three possibilities for such a thing to happen.

Either Allegri is crazy, or Allegri is crazy, or Allegri is crazy.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That's because Allegri was so stupid that he didn't see the problem with the goal just now.

But as a professional coach, how could he not see it?
Forget it, the explanation that he is already crazy is more reasonable.

Therefore, under Allegri's crazy command, Milan once again launched a wave of attacks against Hamburg after losing the ball, and the full-backs on both sides also pressed repeatedly.

Only this time, they intensified the use of Allegri's traditional art skills: cross!
Pass to death!

Since Milan's 433 formation has no traditional full-backs, and the two wingers also have to go to the center to help grab points, the heavy responsibility of crossing is handed over to the two full-backs, De Sciglio and Abate.

but……

There is no high center forward in Milan now!

Both Niang and Mane are better at playing on the wing, while Balotelli does not look at him tall, strong and strong, and his header skills are not bad, but he doesn't like physical confrontation.

Therefore, it was all taken care of by the Hamburg defender.

Whether it is Van Dijk or Rudiger, they can easily control the high point and push the ball out of the danger zone.

And sometimes Milan will find players in the midfield through long passes from the central defenders, but in the midfield, Casemiro and Paulinho, the Brazilian duo, also firmly control the air supremacy.

Whether it is De Jong or Muntari, in fact, they are not too tall, which makes them less advantageous in the competition with the two Brazilians.

This is especially true for Montolivo. He is not good at fighting, so how can he get better by asking him to fight hand-to-hand with Casemiro?

And it was even more exaggerated when Milan got the set kick. Hamburg's heavy tank Mitrovic drove directly into the penalty area!
Don't look at him fighting for the top of the header when attacking, but he is also unambiguous and very active when defending.

As a result, the [-] fans at the scene watched the ball fly to Hamburg's backcourt again and again, and then flew out again and again.

Boos began to sound over the San Siro.

Obviously, they are not satisfied with Milan's attack, they are not satisfied with Allegri's strategy!
Just take this set of English football decades ago, and say that it is holding high the banner of offensive football, right?
And it doesn't taste right.

People's orthodox English football is also equipped with high center forwards and wing midfielders in a serious manner. You are playing 433 and playing high crosses, which is simply laughable!

What's more, it has no effect at all, and Hamburg's goal is not threatened at all.

On the contrary, when Milan's cross ball is ejected by the Hamburg players, if it falls at the feet of other Hamburg players at this time, then a quick counterattack will be ready to launch.

At this time, the offensive threat posed by Hamburg is even greater!

Therefore, at this time, Milan's midfielder will make even more crazy on-the-spot steals, or even fouls, otherwise there will be more serious consequences.

This can also be regarded as the "truth" that Allegri obtained from Pan Yi after the German Super Cup Hamburg-Bayern battle, right?

But foul play also has a price.

In the 40th minute, Hamburg once again took advantage of the opportunity of Milan's full-back to press up and launched a long pass to the back of Milan after receiving the ball.

This time it was Rudiger who passed the ball to the other side, and Sun Xingmin inserted it at high speed.

But Milan's reaction was also very fast. De Jong, who was a defensive midfielder, rushed towards Sun Xingmin, and it was a sliding tackle.

Sun Xingmin picked up the ball gently, trying to move past De Jong's body.

But De Jong lifted his calf and tripped directly to Sun Xingmin's toes. The Korean also fell to the ground and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

This is a kind of self-protection of the player, which can buffer the potential energy of the fall.

But at the same time, it is also a kind of pressure on the referee, such as "I fell so hard, should I call a foul?" Complaints are more effective than words.

Sure enough, the referee blew his whistle directly, awarded Hamburg a free kick on the left side of the penalty area, and showed De Jong a yellow card.

"Bei Derong" didn't argue anything this time, and turned and left directly.

Perhaps he also knew that this move was not only big, but also hindered a threatening attack by Hamburg, and it was inevitable to get a card.

And Allegri on the sidelines was also shouting loudly, encouraging the players.

Although this position made Sun Xingmin a little too far, and the timing of the foul was a little late, but after all, he was still on the side of the penalty area, not as dangerous as facing the goal.

It's just that when De Bruyne put the ball in place and many Hamburg players stood in Milan's penalty area one by one, Allegri couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Why are there so many strong men in Hamburg?

Van Dijk, Rudiger, Casemiro, Paulinho, Mitrovic...

Compared with them, Zapata and Mex, who are both 187cm tall, look a bit petite?
The focus, of course, is on tonnage.

Van Dijk and Mitrovic both weigh more than 90kg. Isn't it like a wall in front of the two Milan central defenders who weigh 82kg?
And now these "walls" are blocked in front of Milan one by one, you say Allegri is not in a panic.

The most important thing is that these tall players in Hamburg are not just grabbing headers by chance.

They are tactically designed!
When De Bruyne stretched out his right hand, all the players in the Hamburg penalty area had already understood.

At the moment De Bruyne took the ball, Van Dijk, Rudiger, and Casemiro all ran forward, which also took away several Milan defensive players.

But they all feinted.

The real point of this free kick is Mitrovic ambushing in the middle of the penalty area!
He took advantage of the chaos to run out of space, leaped high, and scored with a header.

Even though Meks was tightly attached to Mitrovic's side, he still couldn't stop the opponent from taking off, and he could only watch the ball hit the Serbian striker's head and then change direction.

It was too close, and Edson couldn't do anything.

The ball goes straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
"Hamburg scored again!"

"They took advantage of an early free-kick and 'Vieri' Mitrovic scored a header!"

"My God, it's still the first half of the game, but Hamburg has already led by two goals! But this is San Siro, Milan's home stadium!"

"Let's look at the replay of the goal. De Bruyne's penalty was very precise, it found the top of Mitrovic's head exactly."

"And the tall running positions of Hamburg are also very good, leading Milan's defense away. Obviously, this is the set-piece tactic coach Pan Yi asked the players to practice during training."

"And if we look at the foul that caused the free-kick, it's exactly the same development as the first goal."

"Hamburg saw the emptiness of the defense when Milan aggressively attacked, and then the central defender directly launched a long pass to find the winger. De Jong had no choice but to choose to foul to stop Sun Xingmin's breakthrough."

"How should I put it, Hamburg stabbed Milan twice in a row with the same trick, but Milan didn't really defend once..."

……

"Is Allegri crazy?"

In Munich, Bayern's training base, Guardiola also issued the same question.

He is watching the live broadcast of the game with his assistants.

Their game had ended the previous night, Bayern beat CSKA Moscow 3-0 at home.

And now Guardiola has regarded Pan Yi's Hamburg as the most threatening opponent for the championship this season, and he will watch the Hamburg game when he is free.

In addition to studying Hamburg's tactical routines and finding ways to restrain them, Guardiola also wants to "steal lessons" from Pan Yi, a coach with endless tactical ideas, to enrich his tactical concepts.

In addition, as Bayern's main competitor, Guardiola is of course willing to see Hamburg suffer a defeat in Milan.

In this case, the morale of Pan Yi's team must be greatly reduced, and then there will be mistakes in the league.

This has nothing to do with so-called "sportsmanship".

In the long league, what everyone compares is who makes fewer mistakes.

You made a mistake, I didn't make a mistake, then I might be the champion.

There is no team in this world that does not make mistakes at all, it just depends on when you make mistakes and how serious the mistakes are.

But what Guardiola didn't expect was that AC Milan played such rubbish at home and fell behind 0:2 in the first half.

It seems that the one who made the mistake today is Milan, it is Allegri.

"Hamburg's starting lineup today is obviously targeted at Allegri's style of play, sending a lot of big and tall players to control the high points." Guardiola shook his head, "But Allegri has nothing to do with it. Be vigilant, and play according to his established style of play, can you not suffer a loss?"

The assistant Grande on the side also said: "You have been telling me before that you can see that in Milan's Triple Crown season, most of the game tactics were formulated by the then assistant coach Pan Yi. I believed it too much, and now I believe it. With the obsession shown by Allegri today, it is really impossible to bring out such a strong team."

"Pan Yi's on-the-spot adjustments are also very powerful." It was Bayern Munich youth team head coach Ten Hag who spoke at this time.

In order to ensure the tactical consistency of the first team and the entire youth training system, Ten Hag will often participate in tactical meetings hosted by Guardiola.

The Dutch personality who would become the manager of Ajax and Manchester United in the future has the same beautiful haircut as Guardiola.

When the two appeared in the conference room together, the whole room brightened up.

"When Milan seemed to have the upper hand in the first half, Pan Yi specially asked the players to control the ball more in the backcourt to lure the enemy deep, and then scored the long pass goal." Ten Hag continued.

"In fact, Hamburg's midfield strength is stronger than Milan's now, but it is deliberately slowing down the pace to seduce Milan players to press forward and create space for attack."

"But Allegri didn't notice this, and continued to fall into the trap woven by Pan Yi."

Ten Hag seemed a little annoyed when he said it.

After all, he is only the coach of a youth team, but he can see the problems on the court, and Allegri is in vain as the head coach of a European giant, but he is so determined to play high-position pressure with Hamburg. , do not know each other.

This gave Ten Hag a feeling of "I can do it if I do it". I really want to rush to Milan now, drag Allegri off the coaching bench, roll up his sleeves and do it by himself.

"You're right." Guardiola nodded appreciatively.

He still admires Ten Hag, the coach of the youth team. When discussing tactics, the Dutchman can always find the key to the problem and put forward his own opinions.

Guashuai believes that it won't be long before Ten Hag can stand on his own and coach a first team independently.

"At the beginning, Hamburg did not play well. After all, their players are still too young and have not adapted to the atmosphere and rhythm of the Champions League." Guardiola said.

"But Pan Yi's command on the sidelines quickly stabilized the situation. He asked the players to move to the center and the backcourt to shrink a little, and let Milan's full-backs come over."

"At the same time, Paulinho and Casemiro also formed a double midfielder, sweeping the front of the penalty area to protect the defense, so that the players on the defense can rest assured."

"Doing this also added two more points for the backcourt. It was difficult for Milan's forwards to grab the ball, so the full-backs pressed even higher, thinking about grabbing the ball and directly threatening Hamburg's goal."

"It's a pity that these are all calculated by Pan Yi. When Milan's formation was overwhelmed and the backcourt was empty, Hamburg's central defender directly launched a long pass attack. These two goals were basically created in this way. of."

"It can be said that without Pan Yi's on-the-spot adjustments, these two goals would not have been possible. In this regard, Allegri has indeed lost a lot. When he fell behind by one goal, he still hadn't woken up and was still using the old The way to overwhelm the attack...is asking for trouble."

Ten Hag also nodded and said: "This also shows that the Hamburg players have a very high tactical quality and a high level of training. Otherwise, even if Pan Yi commanded like a god, it would be difficult for them to immediately understand the main goal in just a few minutes. The coach's intention, and carry it out without any compromise."

Bayern's coaches also nodded.

The situation in the first half actually showed the huge gap in tactical level between Hamburg and Milan.

For the players in Hamburg, the positions between every two or three players are very compact, and each player with the ball has multiple exit points.

Once the player with the ball (whether it is his own or the opponent's) moves to one side, the whole of Hamburg will also move accordingly, maintaining the tightness of the formation, which makes it difficult for the opponent to find a breakthrough in the first place.

The same is true when Pan Yi moves the Hamburg front line back. When the defensive players retreat, the midfielder will also retreat, including the front encounter line will also move backward, so that the space in the middle will not suddenly become larger.

All the players in Hamburg are like every part of a precision instrument, closely intertwined with each other. I have you in you, and you in me. Each player can play different effects and functions in different positions. effect.

And Milan is different.

Due to the need to implement Allegri's cross strategy, they spread out the formation, and at the same time the distance between the players was also widened.

Although it seems that this takes up more court space, there is also a large gap between Milan players and players.

Hamburg only needs to knock a nail between the opponent's players, and Milan's machine will immediately jam and not operate smoothly.

And in the absence of a full-time crosser (such as Beckham in the past), Milan's style of play feels like Hanzo's archery.

I passed the cross, whether it can hit the teammate's head, whether I can make it, depends on fate.

Not to mention that these teammates who are waiting to catch the ball are actually not that good at grabbing headers.

All these are the reasons why Milan fell behind in the first half and played extremely ugly.

"Allegri is so old and stubborn." Guardiola finally sighed, "He still clings to the same way he used to, and he hasn't kept pace with the times at all."

"He doesn't know that since Pan Yi appeared, the tactical development of European football has changed a lot. Even I have learned a lot from Pan Yi."

"But he is good. When Pan Yi was in the team, he could still listen to a few words. As soon as Pan Yi left, he immediately returned to the old way. The essence of Pan Yi's tactics has not been learned at all."

"That's it for this game, Milan has no chance. Let's study the next round against Schalke 04..."

……

In the second half, Hamburg entered the pitch with a two-goal advantage.

During the half-time break, Pan Yi praised the performance of the players. After all, this is the first trip to the Champions League for many people. It can be said that it is very satisfying to be able to score such a score in San Siro.

Then Pan Yi just asked the players to continue to stick to the style of play in the first half, and did not make any adjustments.

After all, Allegri is a little bit on the top now, and if he likes to pass, let him continue to pass.

Even if Allegri really got the hang of it and made some changes, Pan Yi would still have time to adapt to his changes.

After all, two goals are in hand!
Sure enough, shortly after the start of the second half, Pan Yi discovered that Milan still had the same recipe and the same taste.

Allegri did not make any adjustments to the lineup, and tactically just let the midfielder De Jong recover a little bit more to protect the space in his side's ribs.

Milan's two full-backs are still actively pressing forward, cooperating with the midfield to oppress the Hamburg players.

Obviously, Allegri still wants to use a fierce attack to quickly grab a start to the second half. If he can pull one back, there is hope for a comeback.

But after the first half of the fight, the Hamburg players have already gotten used to this rhythm.

They took their time and fought each other in midfield.

Although the intensity of the Milan players has improved and they can indeed grab the ball at the feet of the Hamburg players, their offensive method is too simple.

After finally getting the ball, he quickly divided the sides, and then made a pass from the bottom, or from the sideline, or from the center line.

And Bashen, who is located in the center of the penalty area, is always surrounded by Hamburg players, and it is difficult to get the ball comfortably, let alone any threatening shots.

The same is true for Niang and Mane on the two wings.

It is difficult for them to receive the offensive ball from the wing from their teammates, so they can only go to the penalty area to participate in the top fight, or recover to the ribs to fight for two penalties.

But obviously, both the first point and the second point are basically controlled by the Hamburg players!

So Mane can only return to the midfield to get the ball by himself, and then use his personal ability to break through.

Instead, he has become Milan's most threatening player in recent times, and Pan Yi also asked Salah to recover appropriately to keep an eye on him, a good African brother.

As time went on, Milan's cross tactics became more and more difficult.

Later, even Milan's two full-backs were restricted by Hamburg.

Whether it's De Sciglio or Abate, when they get the ball, Paulinho or De Bruyne will immediately step forward to interfere, making it more difficult for them to kick.

This is because after attacking fiercely for about [-] minutes, the main Milan players who played two games in three days were a little bit overwhelmed.

The Milan players whose physical fitness began to decline also had to slow down a little.

But this time, Hamburg sped up.

This is the basic combat policy proposed by Pan Yi during the intermission: the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy camps and we harass, the enemy is tired and we fight, the enemy retreats and we chase!

Hamburg's players' pressure on Milan's ball holders suddenly increased.

Not to mention their two full-backs, even if Milan's central defender and midfielder want to pass the ball to the wing, the difficulty will suddenly increase.

Salah, Sun Xingmin, including Mitrovic, seemed to be on a stimulant in an instant, and swooped towards Milan's backcourt, making Milan's pass stumbling.

The game suddenly entered the rhythm of Hamburg, and Hamburg's offensive began to become more and more fierce.

Gradually, Milan began to retreat, while Hamburg had almost pushed the defense past the center line!
For a while, danger began to appear in front of Milan's gate.

"We have to make adjustments." On the home team's bench, Milan assistant coach Tassotti said to Allegri, "If we want to stick to the current style of play, it is better to remove a striker and replace it with a midfielder. , Change the formation to 442. This can not only stabilize the defense, but also have more choices in crossing points."

Allegri turned his head, glanced at the assistant, then turned his head again, and continued to look into the court without replying.

I've been playing for so long, and now I'm changing teams. Didn't you hit me in the face?
"Allegri..." Tassotti was a little excited.

But Allegri waved his hand and signaled Tassotti not to speak.

"Persist for a while, their flaws will be exposed, and then we can score!" Allegri insisted on his opinion.

However, he still agrees with one of Tassotti's views just now, that is, a substitution is necessary!
He felt that there must be no problem with his tactics now, but why he didn't achieve the desired result must be something wrong with the person who executed the tactics.

Therefore, we must first solve the person who caused Milan's current predicament!

So he summoned his hands and called the striker Matri over.

After his warm-up is over, Allegri can replace Matri and replace Mane!
