Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 150 God's Name Is Zlatan

For the targeted training before the game, Mourinho did not arrange anything in particular.

I just focused on practicing the defense of set kicks. In the game against Naples, the second half of the tactical set kick conceded the ball, which once again highlighted the problem of the team's slowing down in defense.

In terms of other tactics, there are no special arrangements.

If in Serie A, Juventus' tactics are characterized by "conservative" and Naples' tactics are characterized by "fast", then the tactical characteristics of AC Milan under Pioli are "flexible".

The flexibility here does not mean that AC meters' players have high agility, but that their tactical arrangements and personnel arrangements are very changeable, and they will be adjusted according to the actual situation of their opponents and themselves.

This kind of thing is often a double-edged sword. If you play well, it is called adapting to the situation. If you lose the ball, you are playing blindly.

There are counterattacks, pushes, can grab high points, and can also shoot long shots. They are even one of the teams with the most long-range shots in the league. Pioli has specially arranged several long-range shots.

When encountering intensive defense, the pass cannot be opened, so just burst the shot.

As a "hip-pull" coach with an unsuccessful coaching career in the past, even with a winning rate of only 37% and an average of 1.36 points per game, Pioli does not have the burden of those famous coaches at all.

What kind of scene should be beautiful, what kind of wealthy family can't shrink back, are just clouds in his eyes. All he cares about is how to win the game and how to keep his handsome position.

And the Rossoneri, which has not won the Serie A championship for 10 years, is also willing to give Pioli more room to play his pragmatic style after seeing that he ranked second in the league last season.

This is very similar to Mourinho's situation in Rome.

On the wing, Pioli is more inclined to let the full-back inward, a lot of use of the sidewalk and the center to hit the wall and push forward, or simply let the full-back serve as half of the midfield. When the winger pulls away, the full-back Cooperate with the inside line, so that the frequency of lateral transmission is fast and stable.

In another flexible aspect, anyone can play and anyone can end the offense, which is somewhat similar to Naples.

Regardless of the famous strikers like Ibrahimovic and Giroud in the team, they have each scored 3 goals in the league, which is the same as the 22-year-old young striker Rafael Leo.

Therefore, when facing them, focusing on defending a certain person does not have much effect, but will allow that person to give full play to the role of a wingman feint and create more space for others.

Pioli will always play in a 4231 formation.

Considering that AC Milan's speed is not fast and will not deliberately control the ball, Mourinho also arranged a 4231 formation.

The team practiced for 6 hours in two days. Chen Xiaoliang went home and spent a physical recovery card, and practiced for another 3 hours.

Stamina Recovery Card 4 → 3
Training value 73 → 82
Chen Xiaoliang added a big attribute and spent a full 80 points to increase the speed from 16 to 17!

Training value 82 → 2
I was really happy when I added points, but after adding points and looking at the training value, I was really heartbroken...

The purpose of acceleration is also very clear. In defense, especially when the opponent's physical strength declines in the second half, relying on one's own physical strength advantage, you can better quickly cover various defensive areas.

In the offense, not only can you pass the opponent with speed and create space for passing the ball, but at the same time, after stepping forward to participate in the offense, you can replay it faster.

It can be said that crossing and counterattack are the improvement strategies he specially formulated for himself according to Mourinho's tactical arrangements.

After all, if you advance from the middle lane, due to the dense population and narrow space in the middle lane, speed alone cannot surpass people, and you have to add dribbling and skills, and the required training value will also increase exponentially.

When these are added to a certain level, I am afraid that the league has entered the final stage...

However, compared to the joy of Chen Xiaoliang's continuous growth, Mourinho has encountered troubles.

10月24日踢那不勒斯、10月27日又踢了卡利亚里、转眼10月31日就要迎战AC米兰，而后面11月5日又要在欧会杯小组赛主场迎战慕拉，紧接着又是让他无语的赛程，仅隔一天、11月7日客场挑战威尼斯人——这场比赛还是意甲每一轮强推的一场早场的比赛，在13点30分开打。

This means that after playing Mulla at home, the team will immediately set off for Venice the next day. After staying in the hotel for a rest, they will get up on the third day to warm up and go to the game. There is no time for adaptive training.

Considering the tight schedule and the potential injury risks of always using these main players repeatedly, Mourinho recalled Shalawi and Diawara from the reserve team.

Then the bad thing is Mourinho's decision...

Although Shalawi has been honest for a while after the nightclub scandal, he still secretly goes to the nightclub to have fun, but whenever there is training and reserve team games, he will not let himself appear on the court smelling of alcohol again.

Being recalled to the first team this time, he also wanted to seize the opportunity to perform well and impress Mourinho, not to mention returning to the main team, at least to be able to enter the substitute list stably.

He's only 29 years old, and he doesn't want his career to take a turn for the worse so early on.

But Diawara was a different story.

The former Naples genius and candidate for the Golden Boy Award has now turned into a look of eating and dying.

Because of the arrival of Chen Xiaoliang, Mourinho no longer needs to arrange a defensive midfielder in the position of the midfielder, but prefers to arrange a central midfielder like Wellertu who is active in running and has passing and receiving skills. Field as Chen Xiaoliang's assistant.

Diawara is not without such ability, but he is too lazy according to Mourinho's standards, and he shows that he doesn't like to consume energy in training.

Mourinho originally wanted to sell him in the summer, recover part of the funds, and reduce the team's salary expenditure, but Diawara made it clear that he would not accept the transfer-you know, his weekly salary of 8.8 euros is higher than that of Chen Xiaoliang. The standard of 8 euros is high, and he will not be able to get this kind of salary after leaving the team.

Returning to the first team this time, his performance is still so lazy, which is in stark contrast to the first team players who have been trained by Mourinho for more than three months.

If the matter is just like this, it will be over if he is sent back to the reserve team, and Mourinho will not be troubled.

However, no one expected that this guy looked like he was not interested in seeing others. When he saw his old partner Welletu from the previous two seasons, he was particularly enthusiastic. It landed on the back of Weiletu's head, pushing him to the ground and making him unable to get up!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the team doctor immediately sent him to the hospital.

When I arrived at the hospital, I had another checkup and was finally diagnosed with a concussion...

Gotta take at least two weeks off...

Ten thousand horses galloped past Mourinho's heart.

However, he did not retaliate against Diawara, but communicated with him frankly and alone, clearly telling him that he was not within the scope of his tactics, and that if he was willing to transfer, the club could only charge a symbolic transfer fee.

Diawara accepted. Anyway, for him, not playing will not affect his bank account, which can receive tens of thousands of euros after tax every week.

As for who can top after Wellertu is injured, Mourinho has no choice.

Dalbo is too young. Although the substitute central defender Kumbra can play as a defensive midfielder, he has been out of battle for a long time. He is too risky in such an important game.

Only Christian.

The Italian midfielder is good in everything except speed, but his speed is too slow...

In defense, he can only predict the opponent's passing route and breakthrough route, and use his position to cut off the attack, but football is a fluid sport after all. Once he faces a fast opponent and a fast-moving team, he will The ills will be infinitely magnified.

That night, Mourinho had a rare insomnia.

Roma with 23 points is now 28 points behind AC Milan with 5 points. If this game can be won at home, although it is still ranked third, after consecutive victories against the top two, the gap will become very small.

At that time, in the top four of last season's league, they will only have Inter Milan who have not yet played against each other.

The crazy performances of Milan and Naples at the beginning of the season will eventually be interrupted.

This kind of point gap persists until the winter, and with the purchase of one or two practical new aids, the core of the team will not suffer serious injuries, and it is entirely possible to attack the championship!

Thinking of this, he tossed and turned even more, unable to sleep.

2021 10 Month 31 Day.

The night in Rome was particularly noisy on this day.

If Naples is just a team that "coincidentally" occupies the top of the league, then AC Milan's strong recovery in the league has made the fans of Rome truly aware of the arrival of a strong enemy.

As night approached, although it was still light, many shops closed early, and bars and restaurants, especially near the Olympic Stadium, opened their doors earlier.

The distance of 500 kilometers between the two cities did not stop the influx of Milan fans.

Although AC Milan will be wearing a white away jersey, their fans still appear around the stadium wearing red and black jerseys with slightly different styles from season to season.

Those with tickets lined up early, while those without tickets wandered around the stadium, holding up the "I need a ticket" card, waiting for someone to show up.

This model of buying tickets can be seen in many cities in Europe where football is developed. Of course, just like in the red country, it is common for scammers to buy fake tickets or be brutally slaughtered.

Facing the swarming fans of the visiting team, the fans of Rome don't want to lose the battle.

Inside and outside the stadium, shouts and singing can be heard everywhere, some of which are warming up the atmosphere, while others are directly confronting Milan fans.

A fan even drew a cartoon and pasted it on a wooden board. A huge Chen Xiaoliang lowered his head and asked a player wearing the No. 11 Milan jersey: Who are you?

This picture immediately attracted the applause of many Roma fans and was photographed and posted on the Internet. It was quickly discovered by netizens and sent back to the football forums in the Red Country.

The first hot comment under the picture is——what the hell is your name Ibrahimovic?
Since it was a focus game, the league organizing committee naturally gave priority to satisfying audiences in the country and Europe, so the viewing time of this game in the red country was very nightmare, and it was played at 3:45 in the morning.

Although there will be many fans unable to stay up late due to various reasons, Penguin Sports still invited Wang Tao as an off-site live broadcast reporter to the Olympic Stadium for a foreign visit.

Naturally, Wang Tao would not miss this kind of opportunity. He could be on camera and maybe get a few autographed jerseys, so why not do it.

When the buses carrying fans from both sides drove into the stadium, the shouts that choked the onlookers began!

Wang Tao roared almost hoarsely, and shouted at the camera:

"Audience friends!"

"I'm outside the Stadio Olimpico in Rome right now!"

"As you can see, this place is completely surrounded by Roma fans! Their voices are so shocking! Maybe the audience in front of the screen can't fully understand this feeling, but even though I am speaking so loudly now, I can hardly hear it Own voices! As if their cries could cause an earthquake!"

"For the sake of safety, the organizers specially set up different fan passages, and we can see the gathering place of Milan fans on the other side in the distance!"

"It is precisely because of their outstanding performance this season that so many AC Milan fans come to the away game to cheer for the team!"

"We can still see that beside me, many international students from the Red Country also come to watch the game!"

As soon as Wang Tao finished speaking, the camera turned to a group of young people from the Red Country, who immediately waved at the camera and shouted: "Chen Xiaoliang! Awesome! Rome! We must win!"

One of the hot girls from the red country, whose clothes and body look too much will make people nosebleed, even painted a five-star red flag on her face!
The cameraman also pointed the lens at her continuously.

Barrage:

【Take more pictures of this so I won't be sleepy! 】

[When did the corporate live broadcast know the fans' preferences so well? 】

[This must add chicken legs to the cameraman! 】

[1 minute, I want all the information of this young lady (funny)]

[The atmosphere of watching football in foreign countries is really good. It's only 7 o'clock local time. Don't they have to work overtime? 】

【work overtime?In many European countries, working overtime is illegal. You don’t want to watch the game, the boss has to go to the bar to watch the game, so why should you pay me for overtime work]

[I wonder if Chen Xiaoliang can guard against Ibrahimovic]

[Upstairs, don't you look at how old Ibrahimovic is, they are all 40]

[Upstairs, don't you look at how old Chen Xiaoliang is, he's only 17]

[Hey, I’m 17 years old and I’m still studying for the five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation... Not to mention penniless, there is a puppy love partner who has to be sneaky and not let the teachers and parents know. Look at the family, who is worth tens of millions and earns a hundred. Wan, living with two beauties... Sigh, I want to choose to reopen this round of life]

...

The starting lists of the two sides were handed over to the league organizing committee one hour before the game in accordance with regulations.

The Roma side has not changed much. The frontcourt is still Sesco, with Pellegrini behind him, Abraham on the left and Zaniolo on the right;
Double midfielders Chen Xiaoliang and Christante;

Double central defenders Mancini and Ibanez;
Left back Binia, right back Karlsdorp.

AC Milan fought hard against Turin at home in San Siro last time. With all statistics behind, relying on Giroud's goal not long after the start of the game, they survived to the end and won 1-0.

In this game, in order to cope with the continuous combat schedule, they rotated many players, but this is also Pioli's usual practice.

The top player in the starting lineup is Swedish striker Ibrahimovic;
Sesco was thrilled after seeing the list!I can't help but walk into the player tunnel and wait for Ibrahimovic to walk out of AC Milan's locker room!
Behind Ibrahimovic is Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder Kurunić;

The left winger is Portugal's Leo, and the right winger is Belgium's Salle Mackers;

Two defensive midfielders, Frank Casey of Côte d'Ivoire and Ben Nasser of Algeria;

The two central defenders are England's Tomori and Denmark's Kjaer;
The two full-backs are French left-back Theo and Italian right-back Calabria;
The goalkeeper is Romania's Tartarusanu. The number one goalkeeper Maignan has suffered a wrist injury. Tartarusanu has started the last few games.

After getting this list, the media and some fans who saw it were happy.

Not only is there only one Italian in the starting lineup of the Italian team AC Milan, but these eleven starting players are from eleven different countries!

The main players like Romagnoli played one after another, and they felt a little uncomfortable. Pioli was placed on the bench, which also created this magical starting list.

The local media in Rome also specially released a news with eye-catching headlines, the referee of this game is Maresca from Naples.

When he was waiting to play in the player tunnel just now, Sesco kept looking at Ibrahimovic, who was two meters away, and he mustered up the courage to go up and say hello to his idol.

"Dear Mr. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, my name is Benjamin Cesko, I am from Slovenia, and I have been your fan since I was a child."

Ibrahimovic nodded and looked at Cesco: "I've heard about you. Your figure is very suitable for playing as a center forward. Your height is 194, which is very close to perfection. Because I am 195, you will always be 1 centimeter away from perfection. .”

Ibrahimovic spoke so loudly that everyone around heard him, but no one responded.

Either smile like Chen Xiaoliang, or turn your head to the wall like Abraham to prevent Ibrahimovic from seeing, secretly laughing!

Everyone knows that this guy's pretense is legal, and he will feel uncomfortable if he is not allowed to act pretentious, so no one will argue with him!

Cesco was obviously overwhelmed by the idol's aura.

"I don't know which year you are going to play. I just hope you can keep playing. It is really my honor to compete with you."

Ibrahimovic was very happy, Cesko's respect gave him more of a sense of dominating all sentient beings, he patted Cesko on the shoulder: "Boy, work hard, maybe you can reach one-tenth of my level in the future." Achievement, you are enough to become the pride of the country.

As for when I will retire, only God knows this question, and you are talking to God at this moment! "

As soon as the words fell, Chen Xiaoliang burst out laughing!
Sorry, I really can't help it!
With his smile, all the other players in Roma failed!They laughed out loud!
You said that it's fine if you pretend to be alone, and it's so loud that everyone must hear it.

We're all trained to laugh, no matter how funny, unless we can't help it!
Ibrahimovic pushed Sesko away and walked towards Chen Xiaoliang.

The two of them were standing at the end of their respective teams. Ibrahimovic took two steps and stuck to Chen Xiaoliang.

With a height of 195 and an aura of 295, Ibrahimovic, let alone Chen Xiaoliang who is 183, even Abraham who is 194 in front of him has become as short and docile as a cat.

"Who are you?" Ibrahimovic didn't bow his head, his eyes lowered, looking down at Chen Xiaoliang.

Chen Xiaoliang raised his head slightly, his gaze was firm but he said with a slight smile: "Chen Xiaoliang."

Ibrahimovic saw that this kid was not intimidated by his aura, but became more interested:
"Where are you from? I haven't heard of it. Are you going to be a ball boy on the sidelines to pick up balls? Then you are standing in the wrong place."

Players on both sides turned their heads to watch the scene.

They also knew that it was impossible for Ibrahimovic not to know about Chen Xiaoliang, the pre-match tactics meeting, and the introduction of the opponent's players was a regular part.How could Chen Xiaoliang, who was hardly absent and performed explosively, not be analyzed by AC Milan's coaching staff.

"It's okay, after tonight's game, you will definitely remember me."

Pellegrini, Cristante and Zaniolo, who were standing at the front, all saw the dialogue and actions of the two.

They couldn't help thinking in their hearts: This kid can do it, he dares to hit Ibrahimovic directly when he sees him.

Only Mancini was thinking: You should say a few more words, Ibrahimovic is really irritated, and he will come to you later!

How many defensive players not only lost the confrontation after playing the game with Ibrahimovic, but were also choreographed by Ibrahimovic to the media after the game.

Even Ronaldo has been made fun of by Ibrahimovic.

When Ronaldo was still in Real Madrid a few years ago, after scoring a peerless barb against Juventus, the media once connected to Ibrahimovic and asked whether he was awesome or Ronaldo was awesome.

Ibrahimovic replied: "C Ronaldo is a super scoring machine, but you can let him try to score a barb from 40 meters away, and then let me answer this question."

You say he is pretending, he really has the qualifications...

This is the case with the 5-time Ballon d'Or and the 5-time World Footballer of the Year winner, not to mention Chen Xiaoliang, a newcomer who has just arrived in Serie A!

"Yes, the technique of speaking is very powerful. But please remember that when you talk to God in the future, you must use honorific language."

At this time, the three referees from tonight came over, and Ibrahimovic immediately returned to his position.

Even if it is God, he doesn't want to be paid a yellow card by the referee for causing trouble before the game.

Players from both sides came out of the player tunnel, passed through a huge decorative arch, and stepped onto the field.

Immediately, the Olympic Stadium in Rome felt like an earthquake, and explosive shouts sounded!
