Chapter 61 The Scavenger Goalkeeper

Allegri took a closer look and found that the position Pan Yi was pointing at was at the back of the formation - the goalkeeper.

"Abiati?" Allegri asked suspiciously, "You mean, Abbiati's performance is not good?"

"Of course not. Abbiati's goal line technique is quite good." Pan Yi explained, "but he is a traditional goalkeeper, and his feet can't meet the requirements of our tactics."

Allegri's awkward face was immediately revealed again: "The goalkeeper just wants to keep the goal well. Why do you want such a good job?"

Pan Yi couldn't help scratching his head a little.

At this point in time, there is still relatively little concept of the goalkeeper playing the ball in the tactical system.

Traditional giants are still accustomed to using traditional goalkeepers with strong save ability like Buffon, Casillas and De Gea.

So he still has to think about how to explain this issue to Allegri.

"Let's go back to this tactic first. I just talked about the way of pressing the frontcourt. Now let's talk about how to play when attacking with the ball normally."

Pan Yi straightened his thoughts and said again:
"Our striker will be a combination of Aubameyang, Inzaghi and Mane."

"As far as Inzaghi in the middle is concerned, although he is old, he runs well without the ball, has a trick to counter offside, and has a balanced left and right feet, and can complete high-quality shots with both feet."

"But his shortcomings are also obvious. One is his weak ability to hold the ball with his back, and the other is that he does not have the ability to confront in a small space-this is completely different from Ibrahimovic. Therefore, if Inzaghi is the core of the striker, the team needs Tactics create opportunities for him to take the ball head-on and give him space to speed up and sprint."

"Since it is necessary to create a sprint space, it is not appropriate to aggressively compress the opponent's space. Therefore, our offensive organization is often initiated from the backcourt, and we are not in a hurry to move forward at the first time, but will be in the backcourt several times. Passing between the defenders to lure the opponent's striker to press."

"But at this time, because our full-backs will also devote a lot of energy to the offense, in addition to the two central defenders, the goalkeeper must also be involved in the pass in the backcourt. Otherwise, it will be too easy to be predicted by the opponent and cause The ball was intercepted..."

Allegri looked at the tactical board and began to nod frequently: "I probably understand. It's similar to Bayern's Neuer."

Pan Yi also nodded and said, "Yes, it's a duty like a scavenger and goalkeeper."

Allegri: "But Abbiati is very difficult to take on this new role."

Pan Yi: "Yes. And there is another point, the goalkeeper position in our team is too old. Abbiati is 34 years old, Roma is 36 years old, and even the youngest Ameria is 28. With all due respect, they Neither is up to the standards of a world-class goalkeeper."

Allegri can only admit that Pan Yi is right.

Even Abbiati, who is currently the best player, is not at the peak of his career, and his competitive level is also declining.

Even if it weren't for this new tactic, Allegri would have to start thinking about the replacement of Milan's goalkeeper.

"Do you have any candidates?" Allegri touched his chin.

The main reason is that excellent young goalkeepers are too sought-after now, and the price is also rising.

Just this summer, the 21-year-old De Gea just moved to Manchester United for 2000 million euros.

This is the so-called "squatting goalkeeper" that Pan Yi doesn't like.

Also this year, the 25-year-old Neuer joined Bayern Munich with a transfer fee of 3000 million euros.

This guy is the first choice in Pan Yi's mind, but firstly, it is unlikely that the top management will be willing to pay such a high price for a goalkeeper. Secondly, Neuer has already gone to Bayern, so why would he come to Milan again?
So Allegri also felt very embarrassed.

It's not that he doesn't want to update and iterate, it's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Well...how do you look at this?"

However, Pan Yi had already made preparations, and he took out a piece of paper from somewhere and handed it to Allegri, and conveniently inserted a USB flash drive into the computer on the table.

"Edson?" Allegri looked at the words on the paper and read softly, "Brazilian, 18 years old, Benfica's youth training camp, now playing for Liberão in the Portuguese second division."

That's right, it is the Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson who will play for Manchester City in the future.

At this time, Ederson was just a fledgling, but he had already shown great potential, so he was already able to play the main force in the Portuguese Second Division.

In the timeline of Pan Yi's previous life, after the end of this season, Edson will play in the Portuguese Super League, and gradually become the main force of Benfica, helping the team win two Portuguese Super League championships.

Then he joined Manchester City Football Club with a transfer fee of 4000 million euros. Since then, he has helped the team win 4 Premier League titles and personally won the Premier League Golden Glove Award several times.

The reason why Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola resolutely used Edson instead of the previous England goalkeeper Joe Hart, including the Chilean goalkeeper Bravo, was because of Edson's excellent ability to play the ball.

Of course, this is not to say that Edson's saving ability is not good.

Although his knives-like attributes make him sometimes make some low-level mistakes, he can also contribute to the magic attack repeatedly, otherwise he would not often win the Premier League's best goalkeeper award.

And such a powerful goalkeeper, at this point in time, may only need to pay a very small price to sign in-with Galliani's ability to fool, hundreds of thousands of euros should be the best.

In fact, when Pan Yi considered signings for the goalkeeper position, he gave priority to another Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson.

His ability to play the ball is also excellent, and relatively speaking, he is more stable than Edson.

But Ederson has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he is a Benfica youth trainer, has dual citizenship of Brazil and Portugal, and will not occupy Milan's non-European quota.

In other words, in this winter window, it is feasible to introduce Ederson, but it is impossible to introduce Alisson.

Then Allegri came to the computer and watched Edson's game video collected by Pan Yi.

Sure enough, this immature Brazilian guy seemed to have a maturity that didn't match his age on the court.

He dared to take and control the ball with his feet in the backcourt, and he would yell at his teammates when directing the defense to let everyone organize the defense.

And when saving, he also dared to make moves, and his jumping ability was also very good.

"How can you always find this kind of player hidden in a strange small league..." Allegri was puzzled and patted Pan Yi's shoulder in admiration.

If it was put aside before, he would definitely express some doubts.

But after seeing the performance of those young players whom Pan Yi recommended to introduce this season, how could Allegri doubt Pan Yi's vision?

"Hey, it's not because our scouting system in Milan is strong, so I can see more good players." Pan Yi modestly pushed the credit to the scouts.

"Okay, I'll talk to Galliani about it." Allegri said.

In his heart, he actually sighed softly.

The problem that has been a headache for him for so long, when it comes to Pan Yi, why does it seem to be so easy to solve?

Allegri feels like he is starting to wonder if he is the material to be a head coach...
