Chapter 231 There is something wrong with the person executing the tactics

"Is Allegri crazy?"

Pan Yi on the side tilted his head and looked at Allegri, thinking involuntarily.

Pan Yi really didn't expect it.

Hamburg's goal just now was obviously achieved by taking advantage of the gap in the Milan front line, especially the two full-backs.

In this case, shouldn't we stabilize it first and let our players stand in their positions first to avoid the same thing happening again?

And now, Allegri actually ignored all this and still let everyone press him?

Crazy!

There are only three possibilities for this kind of thing to happen.

Either Allegri is crazy, or Allegri is crazy, or Allegri is crazy.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That's because Allegri was too stupid and didn't see the problem of conceding the ball just now.

But as a professional coach, how could he not see it?

Forget it, the explanation that he has gone crazy is more reasonable.

Therefore, under Allegri's crazy command, after losing the ball, Milan once again launched a wave of attacks against Hamburg, and the fullbacks on both sides also pressed on again and again.

Only this time, they used Allegri's traditional skill even more: cross!

Pass to death!

Since Milan's 433 formation does not have traditional wingers, and the two wingers also have to go to the center to help grab points, the important task of passing the ball is handed over to the two full-backs De Sciglio and Abate.

but……

There is no high center forward in Milan now!

Both Niang and Mane are better at moving on the wing, but Balotelli doesn't like physical confrontation despite his tall and strong body, and his header skills are okay.

Therefore, it was all handled by Hamburg's defenders.

Both Van Dijk and Rudiger can easily control the high points and push the ball out of the danger zone.

Sometimes Milan will find players in the midfield and frontcourt through long passes from the center back, but in the midfield, the Brazilian duo of Casemiro and Paulinho also firmly control the air superiority.

Neither De Jong nor Muntari is actually tall enough, which prevents them from taking any advantage in the competition with the two Brazilians.

This is especially true for Montolivo. He is not good at fighting to begin with. How can he get any benefit from a physical fight with Casemiro?

And when Milan got a set kick, it was even more exaggerated. Hamburg's heavy tank Mitrovic drove directly into the penalty area!

Even though he is very good at heading the ball when attacking, he is also unambiguous and very active when defending.

As a result, the 80,000 fans at the scene watched the ball fly to Hamburg's backcourt again and again, and then fly out again and again.

Waves of boos began to ring out in the sky above San Siro.

Obviously, they are not satisfied with Milan's offense, and they are not satisfied with Allegri's strategy!

Take this example of English football from decades ago. It is said to be holding high the banner of offensive football, right?

And it doesn’t taste right.

The orthodox British football is equipped with high center forwards and wide midfielders. You are playing 433 and playing high-flying crosses. It is simply ridiculous!

What's more, it had no effect at all, and Hamburg's goal was not threatened at all.

On the contrary, when Milan's cross ball is pushed out by a Hamburg player, if it falls at the feet of another Hamburg player, a quick counterattack will be ready.

At this time, the offensive threat posed by Hamburg is even greater!

Therefore, at this time, Milan's midfielder will have to make more crazy steals on the spot and even commit fouls, otherwise there will be more serious consequences.

This can also be regarded as the "truth" Allegri obtained from Pan Yi after the German Super Cup battle between Hamburg and Bayern, right?

But fouls also come at a cost.

In the 40th minute, Hamburg once again took advantage of the pressure from the Milan fullback and launched a long pass to the back of Milan after receiving the ball.

This time, Rudiger passed the ball to the other side, and Son Heung-min came in at high speed.

But Milan reacted quickly. De Jong, who was a defensive midfielder, ran towards Son Heung-min and made a sliding tackle.

Son Heung-min gently lifted the ball, trying to move past De Jong's body.

But De Jong raised his calf and directly tripped Son Heung-min's toes. The Korean also fell to the ground and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

This is a kind of self-protection for players, which can buffer the potential energy of a fall.

But this is also a kind of pressure on the referee, similar to "I fell so hard, should a foul be called?" This kind of complaint is more effective than talking.

Sure enough, the referee blew the whistle directly, awarded Hamburg a free kick on the left side of the penalty area, and showed De Jong a yellow card.

"Bei Derong" didn't say anything this time and turned around and left.

Maybe he also knew that this move was not only big, but also hindered Hamburg's threatening attack, so a card was unavoidable.

Allegri on the sidelines was also shouting loudly to encourage the players.

Although this position allowed Son Heung-min to penetrate a little too far and the timing of the foul was still a little late, it was still on one side of the penalty area after all and was not as dangerous as facing the goal.

However, when De Bruyne placed the ball and many Hamburg players stood in Milan's penalty area one by one, Allegri couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Why are there so many strong men in Hamburg?

Van Dijk, Rudiger, Casemiro, Paulinho, Mitrovic...

Compared with them, why do Zapata and Mexes, who are both 187cm tall, look a bit petite?

The focus is of course on tonnage.

Van Dijk and Mitrovic both weigh more than 90kg. In front of the two Milan central defenders who weigh 82kg, aren't they just like a wall?

And now these "walls" are blocking the door of Milan one by one. Do you think Allegri is panicking?

The most important thing is that these tall men in Hamburg do not just grab headers by chance.

They have a tactical design!

When De Bruyne stretched out his right hand, all the players in the Hamburg penalty area understood it.

The moment De Bruyne kicked the ball out, Van Dijk, Rudiger, and Casemiro all ran forward, which also took away several Milan defensive players.

But they were all false shots.

The real landing point of this free kick was Mitrovic ambushing in the middle of the penalty area!

He took advantage of the chaos and ran out of space, jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal.

Although Mexes stuck closely to Mitrovic's side, he still couldn't stop the opponent from taking off. He could only watch the ball hit the Serbian forward's head and then change direction.

The distance was too close and there was nothing Edson could do.

The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!

"Hamburg scored again!"

"They took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt and 'Little Vieri' Mitrovic scored a header!"

"Oh my god, the game is still in the first half, but Hamburg is already leading by two goals! But this is San Siro, the home of Milan!"

"Let's take a look at the replay of this goal. De Bruyne's penalty kick was very accurate and accurately found the top of Mitrovic's head."

"The tall men in Hamburg also moved very well, taking away Milan's defense. Obviously, this is the set-piece tactic that coach Pan Yi asked the players to practice during training."

"And if we look at the foul that resulted in the free kick, it's exactly the same development as the first goal."

"Hamburg saw the void in Milan's defense when they launched a massive attack, and then the central defender directly launched a long pass to find the winger. De Jong had no choice but to foul to prevent Son Heung-min's breakthrough."

"How should I put it? Burger stabbed Milan twice in succession with the same trick, but Milan never really defended himself..."

…

"Is Allegri crazy?"

In Munich, Bayern's training base, Guardiola also raised the same question.

He was watching the live broadcast of the game with his assistants.

Their game ended one night earlier, with Bayern defeating CSKA Moscow 3-0 at home.

Now Guardiola has regarded Pan Yi's Hamburg as the most threatening opponent for the championship this season, and will watch Hamburg's games when he has time.

In addition to studying Hamburg's tactical routines and looking for ways to restrain them, Guardiola also wants to "steal" from Pan Yi, a coach with endless tactical ideas, to enrich his own tactical concepts.

In addition, as Bayern's main competitor, Guardiola is certainly willing to see Hamburg suffer a defeat in Milan.

In this case, Pan Yi's team will definitely be demoralized and make mistakes in the league.

This has nothing to do with so-called "sportsmanship".

In the long league, everyone competes to see who makes fewer mistakes.

If you make a mistake and I don't, then I might be the champion.

There is no team in this world that makes absolutely no mistakes. It just depends on when you make a mistake and how serious it is.

But what Guardiola didn't expect was that AC Milan played such rubbish at home, falling behind 0:2 in the first half.

It seems that it was Milan who made a mistake today, it was Allegri.

"Today's Hamburg starting lineup was obviously targeted at Allegri's style of play, sending a lot of tall men to control the high points." Guardiola shook his head, "But Allegri didn't do anything about it.

Be vigilant, and still fight according to his established fighting style, can you not suffer a loss?"

Assistant Grande on the side also said: "You have been telling me before that you can see that in Milan's Triple Crown season, most of the game tactics were formulated by Pan Yi, the assistant coach at the time. I am still a little bit dissatisfied."

I believed it too much, and now I believe it. With the stubbornness Allegri showed today, it is really impossible to lead such a strong team."

"Pan Yi's on-the-spot adjustments are also very impressive." The person who spoke at this time was Ten Hahe, the head coach of Bayern Munich's youth team.
