Chapter 96
Meazza Stadium.

Inter Milan "home" against AC Milan.

Players from both sides are entering the field.

Inter Milan has a 541 formation today:

Forward: Milito.

Midfielders: Sneijder, Cambiasso, Guarin, Alvarez.

Defenders: Nagatomo Yuto, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti, Maicon.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Compared with the match against AC Milan in the Super Cup, this starting set has undergone great changes, with more than half of the players replaced.

The formation has also changed.

Obviously, Stella Maggioni is quite afraid of AC Milan's all-conquering offensive combination, so he formed a defensive lineup of five defenders, ready to defend based on defense, and then counterattack.

This is exactly the tactical policy they formulated before the game.

Captain Zanetti played as a right central defender in this lineup, and once AC Milan's bombardment was fruitless and showed fatigue, Stella Maggioni could make tactical changes without personnel changes.

Pushing Maicon to the midfield, Zanetti moved to the right back, and changed the formation to a more offensive 451 or 4231, and then blew the offensive horn.

Including the current midfield configuration, it is also set up to restrain Milan's midfield operation.

In particular, letting Guarin watch Kanter is the most important thing in this style of play. Before the game, Stella Marcioni also repeatedly urged Guarin, and studied Kanter's technical characteristics with him carefully, and did a good job. A surefire solution.

only……

Now Stella Maggioni is standing in front of the home team's bench, looking blankly at the Milan players on the field.

What about Kanter?
Salah, Mane, Ibrahimovic? ? ...

In Pan Yi's lineup, none of the main players were on the team! ! !
Forward: Inzaghi.

Front midfielder: Seedorf, Aubameyang.

DM: Van Bommel, Ambrosini, Flamini.

Defenders: Antonini, Nesta, Mexes, De Sciglio.

Goalkeeper: Abbiati.

"...???"

At this moment, countless question marks emerged in Stramaccioni's mind.

Can you believe that the intelligence he sent people to the Milan training ground to scout is all fake, and Pan Yi deliberately acted?
No, not right.

Doesn't the Milan starter in front of you just appear in their training ground completely and practice against another team?

The only thing that was wrong was that Stella Maggioni and the others made a mistake about which side was the main force and which side was the substitute...

Stella Marjoni couldn't help being dumbfounded by Pan Yi's bold behavior.

In such an important derby that is about winning the championship, Pan Yi actually sent a full rotation lineup? ? ?

What also puzzled Stella Maggioni was the tactics adopted by Milan today.

Pan Yi actually arranged for the team to play a 4321 formation, which is the legendary Christmas tree.

This is also the tactic that Ancelotti often played when he was still in Milan in the early years.

But at that time, Ancelotti's use of this tactic was actually a helpless move.

Under his men, four No. 10 players such as Pirlo, Seedorf, Rivaldo, and Rui Costa have been hoarded, so An Pang thought of this method, and the results have achieved very good results.

This formation can hoard a large number of personnel in the midfield, so that a relatively tight system can be formed in the midfield, and it makes it difficult for the opponent to be torn apart from the center.

On the premise of stable defense, this formation can control the midfield well at the same time, and then use the personal abilities of the frontcourt players to quickly counterattack.

But it also has some flaws, otherwise this formation would have been popular.

For example, it is easy to create a situation of defending more with less in the two flank spaces-because this formation has no wingers.

And if the opponent is a team that makes better use of space, during frequent transfers, the range of activities of the three midfielders will increase, and it will easily cause system instability or be easily pushed around the hinterland by the opponent.

In the current world football, most teams attach great importance to the role of the winger, and the breakthroughs and crosses on the side are very frequent, so 4321 Christmas Tree will struggle when facing such opponents, which leads to this formation The actual application area is not large.

But now, Pan Yi has used this formation to deal with Stella Maggioni's Inter Milan!
Since the 4321 Christmas tree is essentially a set of defensive counterattack tactics that are biased towards the center, then Stella Maggioni's pre-match predictions have completely failed, and his deployment against Milan is impossible to talk about.

As for marking Kanter or something... I can only go to the bench and stare at his silly face.

In short, the current Stella Maggioni is completely confused.

This surprised him, but also gave him some bad premonitions.

This person Pan Yi...

Just relying on this pair of courage, it also made Stella Magioni feel that it was not easy.

Thinking in another way, if he, as an assistant coach, finally got a chance to directly command the team to win the league championship, he would never dare to take any risks.

Pan Yi, on the other hand, took all the risks he could.

Those players in the middle and front field are nothing, AC Milan quite often let them play in rotation.

But in the backcourt, especially the position of central defender, due to the stable performance of Van Dijk and Thiago Silva, there are no injuries, so Nesta and Mex have very few opportunities to play.

It can be said that in a stable team, apart from the goalkeeper position, the central defender needs the least rotation.

And today in such an important game, Pan Yi dared to send both of them to start at the same time, which is really unbelievable.

So Stella Marjoni glanced at Pan Yi from time to time.

He really wanted to know what was going on in the head of this boy from Longguo?
……

Pan Yi's idea is actually very simple.

It is to protect the Champions League.

Three days after the battle with Inter Milan, the second round of the semi-final with Chelsea will be ushered in. He must ensure that the main players are in the best condition to meet that game.

In his heart, the Champions League will always be higher than the league.

Besides, the league championship is almost in the bag now, and it doesn't make much difference if you get it sooner or later.

As for "winning the championship by stepping on the deadly enemy in the same city", "a rare performance by an assistant coach", or even "breaking the percentage record" that he told Allegri before, these things are not in Pan Yi's consideration now. column, at least with low priority.

He has received offers from other teams now, and he has to prove that he is not in this game or two.

However, using the existing substitute lineup to face Inter Milan's main force, there must be a gap in hard power, including the overall running-in degree is also average.

Combined with the actual situation of personnel, such as the lack of wingers, sharp center forwards, sufficient midfielders... etc., Pan Yi decided to use the Christmas tree formation.

This is based on the characteristics of the existing players in the team, a defensive counterattack formation based on the posture of the weak.

This is also the reason why Pan Yi kept a low profile in the pre-match interview.

It's just that what Pan Yi didn't expect was that Inter Milan also played a defensive formation, and there were no serious wingers.

"If you look at it this way... Is there a chance to make a move?" Pan Yi glanced sideways at Stella Magioni, thinking.
