magic coach

In the first match against a strong opponent like Parma, many people broke into a cold sweat for Jiang Mu. Judging from the lineup on paper, Inter Milan without Ronaldo is no better than Parma. In terms of status, Parma, who also has the same star-studded players, of course Not good, but Inter Milan is not as good as Parma.

Jiang Mu joined Inter Milan with a high salary of 500 million euros, and he has the reputation of a magical coach. Once he loses at home, he will be under great pressure. However, Inter Milan has many big-name stars, but they have not been kneaded. , There is no fixed style of play, and the game is only won by the individual performance of the stars. Jiang Mu has only coached Inter Milan for less than a week.

Before the game, the Italian media were not optimistic about the potters. Being able to win Parma at home, from "Gazzetta dello Sport" to "Repubblica", the vast majority of reporters believed that this was a transitional battle, which did not reflect Given Jiang Mu's coaching characteristics, it is likely to rely on the personal ability of the star to play. A reporter from the "Republic" newspaper even believed that Jiang Mu would most likely continue Tardelli's style of play, just making some fine-tuning.

Parma is currently ranked 7th in the standings. This position can only be regarded as the middle and upper reaches, but it is still far from enough for Parma, who aspires to win the championship. Therefore, the head coach Masaleni is facing tremendous pressure. Failure is very likely to lead to serious consequences.

At the press conference before the game, Masaleni attached great importance to this game. He told reporters that Parma must not lose this game against Inter Milan.

"We and Inter Milan are facing a low point, neither can afford to lose. I have experienced many similar bad times in the past, but we can often get out of the difficult situation very quickly. I am the only one who can make the team escape. People in the bitter sea, although I feel that I am weak, but I must firmly grasp the direction of the team in the big wind and waves. Inter Milan is a strong team, and they have the strength to win the championship. It's going to be difficult for sure, but I believe in my team and we're going to win this one, at least one point, I'm pretty confident about that."

Masaleni also talked about his views on Jiang Mu. He said: "Although Jiang Mu is young, his ability cannot be doubted. He is the kind of coach that Inter Milan needs, but he has just coached for a week. For any coach , It is impossible to change the team within a week, I think this is also a chance for us to win."

Milosevic, the best shooter in the European Cup, said: "This game is very important for the Parma team. Our supporters hope that we can put on a good show. I feel very good now and I am in a good state. There has been a big recovery in the previous period, and I hope to score more goals in the game."

Milosevic, a royalist at the club, who had just participated in a parade in his country to overthrow his surnamed President Milosevic, urged his teammates to do their best in this game and help the team and the host with practical actions. Coach Malesani, because judging from the current situation, if Parma loses this game, Malesani's life will be very sad.Mboma said: "Although Parma's current results are not very good, the responsibility cannot be pushed to Malesani alone. Regardless of the outcome of this contest with AC Milan, we as players will take responsibility. .”

With the arrival of Parma players and fans, the city of Milan became lively. Since the afternoon, the streets were full of football atmosphere.

Except for a small number of Parma fans, there are Nerazzurri wearing blue and black sword-striped shirts everywhere. Fan scarves, a large part of them are from countries other than Italy, and there are even Inter Milan fans from the Oriental Dynasty. They all came to watch Jiang Mu's first performance in Inter Milan.

When Parma was adapting to the field at Meazza in the morning, Jiang Mu sent Baresi to observe the enemy's situation, while he led the team to conduct the final rehearsal at the Piltina training base.

After coming to Inter Milan for a week, just as the outside world expected, Jiang Mu did not make too many adjustments to the lineup and style of play. There are only 7 days. Even if Jiang Mu wants to change, it will not have much effect. The evil result of learning to walk in Handan, and Jiang Mu is a very practical person. He will never change in a hurry just to distinguish himself from his predecessor, or to remove the traces of his predecessor. Passes to players, such as pressing and passing.

From the first day Jiang Mu came to Inter Milan, he emphasized these two points. The first is that all players must actively press down. Whoever does not try their best to fight hard will immediately change from the main force to the substitute in the next training session. The second point is the pass. Jiang Mu requires all players to put the pass above the dribble, try to pass more and less dribble. The frontcourt players must fight back on the spot if they lose the ball, otherwise they will be adjusted to the substitute immediately. to the lineup.

Jiang Mu's two points are very inconspicuous, but they are also very practical. Pressing can destroy the arrogance of the stars, slow down the opponent's counterattack speed, and reduce the pressure on the defense line.Passing the ball can improve the tacit understanding of the team, increase the connection between players, and make the team united.

Therefore, from the perspective of lineup and style of play, Inter Milan does not seem to have changed much, but the combat effectiveness and tacit understanding have improved a lot.

Compared with other Italian coaches who are relatively conservative, Tardelli's coaching style is more aggressive. He is used to sending out three strikers, but Moratti, who likes to collect strikers, bought six or seven strikers for Tardelli. Hakan, Vieri, Zamorano, Recoba, Pirlo, Robbie Keane, these seven forwards with a strong background compete for three positions. No matter which three players are put on the field, there will always be four Sitting on the bench, this is because Ronaldo has not come back. If Ronaldo comes back, the coach will have even more headaches, because so many strikers will definitely not have only three in good condition. They will definitely not be happy to leave a good striker on the bench If you are not happy, it is prone to problems in the locker room.This is something Tardelli can't solve, he can't put all the strikers on the field.

After Jiang Mu took office, he immediately made an incredible adjustment, putting Pirlo on the lower back.

In Tardelli's "4-3-1-2" formation, a player with a strong passing awareness dragged behind two forward forwards, forming a third point of attack.Pirlo has always been the main candidate for "1" in the Italian youth team.In Inter Milan, Tardelli prefers to use Recoba to delay, so that Recoba and Pirlo become competitors. Pirlo has been asking for a transfer because he cannot be the main force. Although Pirlo is very uncomfortable in the position of the midfielder, at least he can play the ball and start. For a 22-year-old young player, this is very important, so Pirlo does not have too many complaints , Not even mentioning the transfer.

After Jiang Mu put Pirlo in the midfielder, Recoba's pressure was also reduced, because Pirlo's technical awareness is very strong. With such a competitor, Recoba can't sleep well. Now that Pirlo is leaving Well, if Jiang Mu keeps playing in the 4312 formation, Recoba will have no competitors. This is also an important reason why Recoba doesn't want to leave Inter Milan.

Jiang Mu's arrangement did not attract the attention of the media and Palma. Firstly, Jiang Mu did not arrange it like this every time he trains. Secondly, due to his habitual thinking, many people thought it was just a training session. As a cameo, Pirlo is not active in running, slow in speed, and weak in defense. It is a joke for a player like him to play the midfielder. It is like asking painters and poets to sweep the streets.No one believed that the magical coach Jiang Mu would be so stupid.

And Jiang Mu's other challenge didn't attract too much attention. Jiang Mu fixed Zanetti from the center back to the full-back. Not much new.

In the afternoon, Jiang Mu closed the training base, prohibited fans from watching, and refused to interview reporters. Jiang Mu conducted the last training and confrontation match with the team. After the training, Jiang Mu confirmed his starting lineup, and at the press conference Announced his starting lineup to the outside world.

Formation of 4312: goalkeeper Frey, back four Ferrari, Blanc, Simic, Zanetti, two midfielders, Pirlo and Di Biagio, Recoba trails behind, and Seedorf Moving behind and to his sides, the striker line: a combination of Vieri and Hakan Suker.

Jiang Mu's starting lineup was released three hours before the game, and after it came out, it aroused speculation from all sides, because Jiang Mu only deployed a defensive player Di Bianho in the midfield, and many people thought that Jiang Mu was playing in this game. The game will focus on offensive football, because Jiang Mu's formation and lineup can't play defensive counterattacks and intensive defense at all, it can only be offensive.

Half an hour after Jiang Mu announced the starting lineup, Parma's coach Masaleni also announced the starting lineup of Parma.

The Parma team has a 442 formation: goalkeeper Buffon, defenders: Cannavaro, Torrisi, Thuram, Junior, midfielders: Almeida, Conceicao, Micoud, Appiah , forwards Amoruso and Milosevic.

Masaleni's formation is a 442 formation with both offense and defense. Obviously, Masaleni, who is on the cusp of the storm, does not dare to take risks now. If he can score one point in the Meazza, it will be a victory against Parma. After all, this is not a cup game. Inter Milan, which was tortured and killed once, will not let the same tragedy happen to its own identity.

After Masaleni announced the starting list, Inter Milan's training base was full of jubilation, and the players cheered loudly, because the starting list of Parma was exactly the same as what Jiang Mu told them during training.Being able to predict the opponent's starting lineup so accurately, Jiang Mu miraculously finally saw the first clues, which greatly increased the morale and confidence of the Inter Milan players before the game. .
