magic coach

The halftime break is very important for Ancelotti. With his personality, if he wants to make major adjustments to the team, he must call the players together and give them instructions, so that he can convey his intentions to the players. He was repeatedly restrained in the halftime because he was caught off guard by Inter Milan because his adjustment speed was too slow.

On the way back to the locker room from the player tunnel, Ancelotti couldn't wait to say to Zidane: "You should run actively, so that Di Bianho will not be easy to stare at you."

Zidane played very badly in the first half, and his performance was compared with his successor, the French junior Dalma, which made him very annoyed, and Piero was even lazier than him in running. Said: "You didn't see that guy, he was like a rogue, even if I ran to the restricted area, he would follow to the restricted area."

"But you didn't run into the penalty area." Ancelotti was also unhappy.

"I don't think it needs to be proven like this." Zidane was even more displeased, he was going to leave, and he also heard that Ancelotti might leave at the end of this season, so he didn't give Anche Lottie face.

Del Piero is the real boss of the team. He saw Zidane and Ancelotti arguing, and there were reporters around excitedly pointing the camera at this side to shoot, and said: "We didn't play too badly. , at least on the scene, the two sides are balanced, but our luck is too bad, otherwise the score should be 1:2 or 2:2."

Ancelotti also saw the reporter secretly taking pictures at this time, and said, "Let's go back to the locker room."

Back in the locker room, Ancelotti didn't fire at Zidane anymore, and the object of his anger became the midfielder, because the two conceded goals were related to the mistakes of the defenders.

"Our defense is very problematic. The first goal was conceded, and the coordination error between Montero and Tudor was the cause. The later bad luck was just that we gave them an easy long she. But such mistakes can be To avoid it, we have made a reasonable division of labor before the game. The defender is also responsible for the second conceded goal. The key is that Ferrara did not follow Recoba. Two-on-two defense is a bit difficult, but Davis immediately Just come back, interfere with the opponent's pass, we can change the status quo, this is a battle that the whole world is watching, it is related to the cause of winning the championship, no mistakes can happen, the opponent is very good at taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes, this point we It was said before the game, but you made two mistakes."

Ancelotti's criticism by name, the target is even a veteran like Ferrara, a titan like Montero, it can be seen that he has been pissed off.

But Montero, Tudor and Ferrara didn't buy it, because they felt very innocent and wronged. After [-] successful defenses, they were forgotten after the game, but if they made a mistake, they would be criticized, and they felt ashamed. Although I was directly responsible for these two goals, the main problem was that the midfield did not help them defend, nor did they put pressure on the opponent on offense.

Montero has the most irritable temperament, and he listened patiently to Ancelotti, and immediately said displeasedly: "The wing has been breached, don't I need to defend?"

After Tudor came to Juventus, he was unsatisfactory, his position was not fixed, and there were many injuries. In this suffocating battle, his nerves were highly tense, and now he finally broke out. He spread his hands and said : "Coach, it can't be my fault, two of them hit me one, how can I stop it."

Ferrara didn't speak, but he threw his sneakers on the ground vigorously, and even a fool could see his dissatisfaction.

The head coach had disputes with many players, and they were all indispensable players to the team. If both sides did not make concessions at this time, the second half of the game would not be played. Civil strife is always more terrifying than a strong opponent.

At this time, the two sides need a peacemaker to come out to adjust, and this person can only be Piero.

Del Piero, who debuted at the Padova youth training camp, joined Juventus in 1993. Two years later, he successfully replaced Baggio as the core of the team, which opened a black and white legend. In 5 years, Piero led the team to fight in the north and south, and won all the championship honors.

However, on November 1998, 11, Juventus collided with the opponent's defender in an away game against Udinese, and the cruciate ligament of his left knee was torn.The injury kept Piero away from the game for as long as 8 months, causing him to miss the entire season and largely affecting Piero's competitive level. In the 9-1999 season, Del Piero only scored 2000 penalty kicks, and only at the end of the season did he score the only sports goal of the season in the game against Parma. Not good, Juventus is also insulated from the championship.

Del Piero is in average form this season, and he has only scored 6 goals in the league so far, but still no one can challenge Piero's status in the locker room. Even Ancelotti wants to tie Piero well. Luo can control the locker room.

"When the team is behind, the defenders cannot be blamed entirely, just like the lead cannot be attributed to the forwards..."

Piero was the first to say a fairly fair nonsense, but at this time, such nonsense is necessary, because when everyone is controlled by emotions, a rational nonsense from an authority figure can make everyone sober.

Seeing that Ferrara wanted to talk, Del Piero waved his hand at Ferrara, and continued: "I said it, we didn't play badly. Don't complain to each other. Think about how we played against other strong teams. What, in such a game situation, we will not fall behind, let alone fall behind by two goals, but the opponent's ability to seize opportunities is too strong, and our luck is a little bit worse. But according to the coach's deployment, we It’s not about not scoring goals all the time, the key is unity and hard work, not complaining to each other.”

Del Piero praised Ancelotti at the end, which made Ancelotti feel more comfortable. He also knew that after the chaos in the locker room, he was the one who was most affected. Now he is sitting on the crater. Lippi wants to return to Juventus to replace him. He must play well this season, and this game is the key. Through the half-time game, Ancelotti finally had a deeper understanding of Jiang Mu, and The more he understands, the more frightened he is. Ancelotti thinks he is by no means mediocre, but no matter the tactical deployment before the game or the command adjustment during the game, the opponents seem to be not at the same level as him. , Ancelotti does not believe that anyone else in Serie A can subdue this devil from the East. Both Capello and Eriksson have proved that they cannot deal with him. Now Capello's only advantage is that they have no international competition. Milan has a chance to talk directly. As long as they continue to win, they will be able to win the championship. If they are overtaken by Inter Milan, Ancelotti feels that no one can go back.

Ancelotti coughed, and his tone became milder, and said: "Everyone is arguing for the sake of winning. Our goal is the same. Alessandro is right. We are no less than our opponents on the scene and in creating opportunities. , but it is a bit short of grasping the opportunity, and the difference is only in the score, not the poor ability of our forwards, we have two great forwards and a great midfielder..."

Having said that, Ancelotti secretly despised himself, because the striker's ability is not bad, but the state is not very good, and because of the few goals, Del Piero was even the best player in Serie A, who was called the "Gemini" at the time. His partner Inzaghi had quarreled. Del Piero blamed Inzaghi for not knowing how to cooperate, wasting too many opportunities, and not respecting himself. Inzaghi believed that his task was to score goals. If the striker had a chance in front of the goal and didn't shoot the goal, why should he pass? ball?In the end, Ancelotti was unable to mediate, and it was Moggi who resolved the conflict in person.But since then Del Piero and Inzaghi have been a bit incompatible.

"...The two conceded goals are not a small gap for teams of similar level, but we can't give up. I hope everyone pays attention to it. Don't think that there are still eight games. I dare say that if we are overtaken by Inter Milan, we will only I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for their mistakes..."

Ancelotti stopped here and let the players digest this sentence.

The Juventus players also became serious when they heard this. Even Tudor and Montero, who had been aggrieved all the time, showed a little worry, because what Ancelotti said was true. Judging from the game, this team is almost as disciplined as an army, and it is not as rigid as an army. When the formation changes, 11 people are like one person, and talented players also have the opportunity to play at will.Such a team really scares them very much.

Ancelotti then adjusted his tactics in the second half, because Inter Milan no longer took the wing, but played a counterattack, and the center became a breakthrough, so Ancelotti had to strengthen the protection of the center, but the two sides The offense cannot be given up either. The opponent's defense in the middle is very thick and layered. Without assists from the side, it is difficult to open the middle.

So Ancelotti replaced Tudor and replaced Trezeguet who could grab points in the middle. Zambrotta came to the right back position, able to defend and assist, and Piero returned to the center. On the field, he partnered with Zidane to play a double midfielder. Both Trezeguet and Inzaghi in front can grab points, and Trezeguet also has header skills that Del Piero and Inzaghi do not have.In this way, Juventus's formation is still 442, but the style of play is different.It can be said that it is both side and center. For Inter Milan's 4312 formation, Ancelotti's adjustments are very targeted. Although Ancelotti's ability to adapt to battles is far inferior to Jiang Mu, but given Ancelotti a certain amount of time to react, he Still able to show the level of a world-class coach.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Jiang Mu did not make any adjustments to the lineup and style of play. Now that Inter Milan leads by two goals, it is completely possible to respond to all changes without change, even if the response is slow and the opponent pulls it. He is not afraid of returning a goal, as long as he has the initiative, he has a way to subdue Ancelotti.
