Chapter 97 The Ancestral Christmas Tree

When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Milito, who was standing in the middle circle of the court, immediately kicked the ball to Sneijder, and then ran towards AC Milan's half.

Thunderous cheers erupted from the entire Meazza Stadium.

The much-anticipated Milan Derby officially kicked off.

After Sneijder stopped the ball, he did not pass the ball forward, but passed it back to Cambiasso who was standing in the midfielder.

At this time, Milan's formation also began to slowly overwhelm.

But at this time, Milan's striker is only a veteran of Inzaghi, and Seedorf behind him is not good at defense. Therefore, he did not press Inter Milan's players with the ball, but just interfered symbolically. .

Cambiasso and Guarin passed the ball to each other a few times in the midfield, and then passed the ball back to the central defender Lucio.

The Brazilian iron guard stopped the ball and took a look. Seeing that Inzaghi was running towards him unhurriedly, he gently rubbed the ball up to the feet of Nagatomo Yuto on the left.

In other words, the Inter Milan players just turned their feet in the backcourt after the start of the game, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack.

This is actually because their pre-match deployments have completely failed, and the players don't know how to implement the coach's tactical intentions for a while, which is in the process of self-adjustment.

At the same time, it can also give the Inter Milan coaching staff time to make a temporary response plan.

After all, Milan's lineup and style of play not only made Stella Maggioni feel confused, but also made the Inter players on the field a little at a loss.

Did you say that the Milan players are very aggressive in the frontcourt?

It was agreed that Milan's wing attack was very sharp?

Now all gone.

Therefore, experienced Inter Milan players will not be eager to hit the ball to the frontcourt at this time, so as to avoid confusion in the fierce fight.

Waiting to find out the true intentions of Milan, both the coaching staff and the players can prescribe the right medicine and adjust the appropriate tactics.

And this scene was reflected in Pan Yi's eyes, and he became more sure of Inter Milan's style of play.

It turns out that Stella Maggioni is really so afraid of his frontcourt pressing 433 tactics.

And he did not hesitate to hoard a large number of personnel in the backcourt to compress the sprint space of Milan's striker.

It's a pity that Milan's current style of play is also to slow down and advance slowly, and they are not afraid of such a response at all.

Are you hoarding troops for defense?
I also have a lot of people in the middle.

Then come and compare and see which side has the stronger adaptability!
……

At this time on the court, after Inter Milan made several inversions in the backcourt, the ball was within the control of Nagatomo Yuto.

This time he did not choose to pass to the central defender again.

Because in front of him, Guarin has pulled to the sidewalk to meet him.

And next to Guarin, there are also no Milan players pressing.

So Nagatomo Yudu sent a direct pass forward.

After receiving the ball, Guarin took a few steps forward and crossed the center line.

This is actually the first time Inter Milan has brought the ball across the half of the game, and there was a burst of cheers from the fans in the Meazza Stadium.

But the cheers didn't last long.

Before Guarin walked a few meters, Milan's midfielder Van Bommel and front midfielder Aubameyang rushed over viciously, forming a left and right pinch attack on him.

Guarin couldn't move on. In order to avoid losing the ball, he had to pass the ball back to Nagatomo Yuto behind him.

This is equivalent to the fact that the ball returned to Inter Milan's own half within a few seconds of arriving in Milan's half.

This is the defensive strategy Pan Yi designed for Milan's formation in this game.

He let most of the players defend in their own half, and did not press the whole court.

In this way, when Inter Milan's ball comes, Milan has five players in front and back to defend, which can block the space.

Doing so can also minimize the gaps in the wing defense caused by the lack of wingers, making the weakness of this Christmas tree formation as small as possible.

After all, the number of local defenders is not as scattered as when the frontcourt is pressed, and the exposed vacancies are naturally much less.

And because Inter Milan itself does not have a strong attacking mentality, when encountering such a tough defense, they can only choose to pass back.

So, the scene froze for a while.

For quite a long time, the scenes that fans saw in the stands were like this:

Inter Milan holds the ball in the backcourt, and the Milan players follow the ball slowly;

Inter Milan kicked the ball across the center line, and the Milan players suddenly turned into fierce beasts to fight for it, and the ball returned to Inter Milan's backcourt;
Then Inter continued to hold the ball in the backcourt...

It's just an extremely boring game!

The Milan fans in the South Stand began to boo harshly.

Even some Inter fans booed, even though it is the Inter players who are in possession of the ball most of the time.

Stramaccioni couldn't sit still.

He had a faint feeling from the very beginning, was Milan's game aimed at 0:0?

But thinking that Pan Yi needs the victory of this game to "prove himself", maybe he has other ideas.

And as the game progressed, Stella Maggioni's feeling became more and more intense.

Maybe Pan Yi really didn't want to win!
After all, AC Milan is now leading No.2 Juventus by 14 points. In fact, they can basically ensure the league championship as long as they score 1 point.

And they are at a critical juncture in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and now they have sent all substitutes to fight for a draw with Inter Milan. This logic makes perfect sense.

Maybe this Pan Yi didn't attach as much importance to the victory of this game as Stella Magioni had originally expected.

Or maybe Pan Yi got the instruction of Milan's top management, or Allegri, to fight for an away game.

In short, if Inter Milan does not hurry up, it may really be succeeded by Milan!

After all, Milan can accept 1 point, but Inter Milan can't!
They are now at a disadvantage in the competition for the Champions League seat. After all, the current No.6 ranking is not guaranteed at all!

And once Inter Milan fails to enter the Champions League this season, Stella Maggioni's coaching position must be difficult to keep.

After all, Inter Milan has not missed a Champions League game since the 2001-2002 season.

And they have won five consecutive Serie A championships since the 2005-2006 season, and it was only last year that AC Milan broke the monopoly.

If it falls to No.5 or No.6 this year, Inter Milan's executives and fans will definitely not accept it.

Thinking of this, Stramaccioni stood up.

He walked to the sidelines and began to give instructions to Sneijder on the sidelines.

Then, he kept waving to the Inter Milan players on the field, signaling to press the formation forward.

Pan Yi, who was sitting comfortably on the bench, saw Stella Macioni's move, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

His opponent finally couldn't bear to attack.

And it was this moment that Pan Yi was waiting for.

When Inter Milan adjusts the premise of the formation and increases the space in the backcourt, then let you see, Milan's ancestral Christmas tree formation is amazing!
