magic coach

On the 22nd, Bayer Leverkusen rushed to Milan from Germany. Their arrival also made the football enthusiasm in Milan suddenly rise. Leverkusen fans in red jersey.

From the moment he got off the plane, Leverkusen coach Top Muller declared war on Inter Milan.

These days, the Italian media's belittling of Leverkusen has made the German coach very unhappy. He said to the Italian reporter who interviewed him: "Inter Milan is very strong. They are the favorites to qualify for Group D, but we are not here to participate. This is a friendly match, not for learning, this is a Champions League group match, it is a matter of life and death, more about honor, we will never admit defeat easily, because this is more of a battle."

Top Muller's words were not taken seriously. Both the fans and the media believed that this was just a complaint from a football team when it was underestimated.Even the players of Inter Milan think that these are just a few words on the scene, to boost the morale of the players.There is no need to take it seriously, do they really have the ability to turn the world upside down at San Siro? !

Due to the mediocre strength of the opponents and the fact that there was no grudge between the two teams, the fans of Inter Milan did not embarrass the visiting team. When Leverkusen was training, some Italian fans even went to watch. Not disruptive.

However, the performance of Inter Milan and the Italian media made the Leverkusen people even more uncomfortable. No one wants to see themselves being underestimated. In training, the Leverkusen people work very hard. They are eager to prove it in tomorrow's game For myself, even if I lose, I have to lose with dignity.

In the evening, Jiang Mu left the players to watch the first two UEFA Champions League group matches. Different game stages, referee enforcement styles, and team morale are all different. By watching the games, the players can gain emotional understanding , to better adapt to the game in the next day's game.

The match between Bayern and Manchester United had the greatest impact, but because of their detached status in the group, the two teams did not want to fight to the death. The old and rational Heathfield and Ferguson arranged their tactics very steadily. The ball was played fiercely, but after the equalizer, it became more stable. In the end, the two sides shook hands with 1:1.

In the group B match, Liverpool and Barcelona played out their anger. Barcelona, ​​who played away, beat Liverpool unexpectedly 3:1 at Anfield Stadium and took the lead in the group stage.

In another match in Group A, Roma defeated Porto 1-0 and temporarily ranked first in the group. In another match in Group B, the match between Juventus and Alkmaar was postponed due to heavy fog, and it was very difficult Maybe play with the CD group on the second day.

The players went home to rest one after another after watching the game. Jiang Mu, Baresi and other players from the coaching staff stayed and continued to study the next day's game. The overall tactics and the arrangement of the starting players have been completed. Now it is time to study the details. Take all possible things into account as much as possible. Although there are always exceptions in football games, being able to control accidents is also one of the signs of a strong team.

Nothing happened during the day on the second day, except that the match between Juventus and Alkmaar continued to be postponed. Tonight there are still only four games in Group C and Group D.

In the afternoon, the head coaches of both sides reported their team's starting lineup at the press conference before the game. Leverkusen's starting lineup is: Bout Placent, Nowotny, Ramello, Sebezenzero Berto, Ballack, Basturk, Schneider Neuville, Kirsten.Inter Milan's starting lineup is: Toldo Zanetti, Cannavaro, Materazzi, Cordobapillo, Di Bianho, Recoba, Conceisan Vieri, Ronaldo.

Announcing the starting lineup three or four hours in advance is a new thing for Inter Milan. Jiang Mu seldom announces the starting lineup so early, and Leverkusen also announced it openly. It can be seen that this This team is preparing to fight Inter Milan head-on with real knives and guns. They may lose. What they want is to leave with dignity.

At night, Meazza is brightly lit, like a transparent castle. Although Leverkusen is not a very important opponent, after winning the league and the UEFA Cup, Inter Milan fans are all focused on the Champions League , this Champions League group match also attracted nearly [-] fans to come here to watch the game.

At 45:[-], the referee Tiger from Norway blew the whistle to start the game.

The first kick-off is the visiting team Leverkusen.

Leverkusen formed a 442 formation today. This formation is a bit unexpected, because when facing a strong team, Top Muller usually forms a 451 formation. Today they not only announced the lineup in advance, Also hit 442,.

However, Leverkusen was still very cautious when attacking. The speed of the three lines moving forward was not too fast, and they always kept a distance of about 10 to 15 meters.

The distance between the three lines is not random, if it is too far away, the whole will be loose.Due to the loose formation, the area of ​​personal responsibility is very large, and the defensive players basically follow up without losing their position. They are afraid of being passed after rushing or shoveling, causing the opponent to drive straight in their own area, further disrupting the entire defensive formation.The result of this is that it is difficult to effectively steal or interfere with the passing organization of the opponent in the midfield.Generally, for a somewhat mature team, if the ball can be poured smoothly in the midfield, the danger of the opponent's defender will come.At the same time, when attacking, such a distance between the three lines cannot form an effective passing triangle in any position of the whole. The players who take the ball will have fewer options for the ball. , It is easy to surrender possession.

Experienced coaches and players are very sensitive to the distance between the three lines. Once the opponent's three lines are out of touch, they will immediately take a quick press on the opponent, causing the opponent's back pass and long pass, grabbing the ball, or forming in the frontcourt. The quick two-for-one and two-for-two cooperation directly approached the opponent's penalty area.

Now the Leverkusen team's three lines are very compact, and each player who takes the ball can form a lot of triangle contact points at close range, and can control the transfer of the ball through continuous simple and fast short passes, and the sense of rhythm is also very strong. The individual players on the ball get rid of and constantly pull and look for loopholes in the opponent's defense.If the overall team is not very strong, it will be difficult to steal and interfere with the Leverkusen team's offense, and they can only continuously shrink the defense.

When Leverkusen is defending, as soon as the opponent's midfielder takes the ball, 2 or 3 players from different directions of Leverkusen immediately come to surround and squeeze the space. Because of the tight formation, other German players next to them also In blocking the remaining possible passing lines, even if they can get rid of the siege, they will be destroyed by the German players coming from close range.

In this way, the opponent is under great pressure when attacking, and it is difficult to take and pass the ball smoothly and comfortably, and the chances of threatening the goal are much smaller.It seems that Leverkusen's defense is not particularly fierce, but in the face of Leverkusen's siege, it is even more difficult to get rid of it easily and organize the offense.

Jiang Mu himself is a tactical expert, and he likes to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses, but the Leverkusen that just started today made Jiang Mu's eyes shine, and he felt that the opponent's performance today was really extraordinary, both offensively and defensively. level, his own players seem to have nowhere to eat.

However, Inter Milan’s formation remains equally tight. The defense and protection between the players is very good, and the forwards also have certain defensive tasks. Due to the gap in numbers and the wide space, it is difficult for the two forwards to pass the ball away from the opponent. It was grabbed at the foot, but this kind of decisiveness and momentum will definitely affect the psychology of the opposing player. In the process of rushing out the ball, mistakes will be made. The probability of professional players making active mistakes in passing the ball is almost negligible, but the probability of passive mistakes is very high. Higher, forwards play more aggressively, just to increase the chance of opponents making mistakes.

It is not easy for Leverkusen to break through Inter Milan's defense normally. At this time, they are not in a hurry. They shift the offensive line to the side, with Ze Roberto, Ballack and Basturk on the left. The connection of the road is very close. The technically delicate Ze Roberto likes to break through the opponent's ribs. Behind him is the small Turk Basturk. Basturk is full of aura. , can bring a lot of trouble to the opponent's defense.When these two people can't tear apart the opponent's defense, Ballack and the full-back Placente will come to help, concentrate the force of four people to attack a little bit, and try to open a gap in the opponent's defense.

Inter Milan's main defenders on the right are Zanetti and Di Bianho. When it is very difficult, Recoba and Ronaldo can also return to the right to participate in the defense.

Zanetti has rich experience, and Dibbiano is very aggressive defensively. Leverkusen failed to break through at their point, and was almost intercepted by Inter Milan and played a quick counterattack. Fortunately, Ballack and Pu Larsente paid attention to defense when he was behind, directly wiped out Inter Milan's counterattack in the midfield, and gave a free kick from the side to finish.

In order to pursue the integrity of the formation and the distance between the three lines, Leverkusen even abandoned flexibility and change. Inter Milan's offense is much more casual, not sticking to the formation and three lines. It is possible to concentrate superior forces at any time. Players siege, making it very difficult for Leverkusen to defend.Inter Milan dared to do this because they are stronger and are not afraid of being counterattacked by Leverkusen.

After getting a free kick from the side, Inter Milan's offensive players quickly rushed to the penalty area. Seedorf did not wait for Pirlo's free kick, he quickly sent a free kick and launched an attack.

Inter Milan's quick attack beat Leverkusen with a time difference. The ball found Vieri, the lighthouse in front of him. .

It was a quick cold kick. Ronaldo didn't swing his legs very much, but the ball was powerful and fast. Bout was tall, and it wasn't easy to roll the ball. It was a bit slow to fall, and the ball was pressed by him When he was under his body, he slowly rolled out again, and almost rolled into the goal. Fortunately, Bout was in good condition today, and pressed the ball on the goal line with his backhand.
