Chapter 4 is him!

Alexandre Pato, although he is only 21 years old this year, he is already an active player of the Brazilian national team, and his resume is even more amazing.

When he was only 17 years old, he transferred from Brazil to AC Milan for 2200 million euros, and played well in the next few years, and won the European Golden Boy Award.

In the last season, he also scored 16 goals for Milan in various competitions, making great contributions to Milan's regaining the Serie A championship.

And such a young and outstanding player, Pan Yi actually said that he is a weakness? ? ?
Seeing everyone staring at him, Pan Yi smiled slightly and said:

"If he can guarantee his professional attitude, it is indeed possible to realize his talent and become a superstar. But unfortunately, according to my observation, he is obviously affected by off-court factors, and his career has even begun to decline."

Pan Yi is full of confidence, of course because he knows what is about to happen in the future.

After Pato fell in love with Barbara, the daughter of club owner Berlusconi this year, it may have been too hard, his state began to plummet, and injuries also found him again.

In the upcoming 2011-2012 season, Pato only played 11 times for Milan in Serie A throughout the season and only scored one goal.

And the next season was even worse, with 4 appearances and no goals.

In 2013, Milan had to sell him back to Brazil at a low price.

Then he played in Brazil, England, Spain, and even the Chinese Super League, but he could never return to the genius state of the year.

Pato can be regarded as a typical case of "injury Zhongyong" in world football.

After listening to Pan Yi's words, Allegri's eyebrows frowned even deeper, and finally made his face into the word "囧".

He is not against Pan Yi's statement.

On the contrary, Allegri has already felt the decline of Pato's state in the final stage of last season.

As the season entered the sprint stage of the championship, Pato misfired.

Not only did he fail to win six consecutive rounds, but he was often replaced early due to lack of physical strength.

Allegri also had a private conversation with Pato, hoping that he would return his attention to the game, but with little success.

So this season, Allegri actually thought of selling Pato, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

After all, Pato is still young, maybe there is a turning point.

Moreover, since Pato's overall performance throughout the season was fairly good, and AC Milan eventually won the league championship, it is a bit risky to propose to the management to sell him at this time.

But now, Pan Yi speaks so firmly, it seems that he has completely seen through Pato's future prospects.

Allegri was very surprised.

This young man in front of him actually has such poisonous eyes?

After all, Allegri is the head coach of the team. Whether it is training or games, he gets along with the players day and night, and it is normal to know them.

And Pan Yi can come to this conclusion just through observation in the game...

Whether it is insight or self-confidence, they are all off the charts!
Allegri decided to ask a little deeper:
"Even if Pato's state has declined, he is still a forward player who can beat the rhythm of Serie A. Why do you say that he is the biggest weakness in your formation? Is there anything special about the tactics of this formation? ?”

Pan Yi nodded, and then pointed the tactical pen to the tactical board:

"Pato is an excellent player who can effectively combine skills and speed, but on the court he prefers to insert behind the first striker and find space to attack. Obviously, Ibrahimovic is his best partner. .”

"But this means that he can only play the best role in the formation of two strikers. If he needs to play the single arrow in my 433 formation, or the winger role in the three strikers - especially if he needs to be reversed. If you cut inside, it will be very difficult.”

"In addition, because my formation is inclined to attack, it will have higher requirements for the high position of the frontcourt when defending. Well, here I will talk about my defensive tactics by the way."

"When the opponent's central defender receives the ball, the winger on the same side of our team needs to press forward, and at the same time adjust his body to cut off the passing line with the full-back, while the other winger presses and marks the other central defender."

"In this case, I need the winger to have strong physical fitness and high tactical discipline. But unfortunately, Pato can't do this now..."

Listening, Allegri smiled and nodded in approval.

These words of Pan Yi not only reflect that he has a complete set of tactical ideas, but also show that he has a deep understanding of the characteristics of players and knows whether a specific player is suitable for his own tactics.

But now everyone in this office is an expert, so they will soon understand Pan Yi's tactical intentions and see the feasibility of this strategy.

Another point, everyone knows that Allegri usually likes to use the 4312 formation the most.

But Pan Yi did not follow suit, but explained his own set of 433, which shows that he does have independent tactical thinking.

This also reflects that Pan Yi has an important characteristic of being a good assistant coach: he will not follow the trend.

Otherwise, the head coach is a family opinion, so what's the use of an assistant coach?

So Allegri's impression of Pan Yi changed a lot in an instant.

It turned out that this guy rushed to speak, because he really had something in his stomach, so he dared to show it!
Meanwhile, Angelo's face turned dark.

He didn't even say a word, it feels like this position has already flown?
No, he has to pull it back.

So, Angelo took a step forward and said to Pan Yi:
"Leaving aside your ridiculous remarks against Pato, anyone with a discerning eye can see how important he is to this Milan team."

"As far as the tactics themselves are concerned, I also have a different opinion."

"You also said just now that you need players to press the frontcourt and need physical support."

"But the majority of the Milan players are veterans. Whether it is midfielder Van Bommel, Gattuso, Ambrosini, or defenders Nesta and Zambrotta, they are all veterans in their 30s. How can you guarantee them? Can you execute your oppressive tactics?"

Allegri raised his embarrassing face slightly.

First of all, Angelo's judgment of Pato's state must be based on the scoring data of last season. Secondly, although the question he raised sounds reasonable, it is a bit wrong.

When Pan Yi mentioned the oppressive tactics just now, he only focused on the defensive requirements for the wingers, but he did not mention the specific arrangements for the midfielders, and of course he did not mention the defenders.

So Angelo's words felt a bit like finding fault on purpose.

This also made Allegri involuntarily give Angelo a low score.

After all, as an assistant coach, you still need to listen carefully to other people's analysis, and then make your own judgment, instead of expressing your immature opinions in a hurry, which will affect the normal thinking of the head coach.

Sure enough, after listening to Angelo's words, Pan Yi smiled confidently and said:

"First of all, I want to complete my frontcourt pressing tactics. Didn't I just mention the responsibilities of the three midfielders? Including the center forward."

"While our wingers are pressing the centre-backs, our centre-forwards are pressing on the defensive midfielders, and the three midfielders occupy the midfield area and are ready to fight for the high ball."

"The entire pressing system needs to combine the two principles of one-on-one marking and cutting off the passing line. The midfielder forms a diamond-shaped position through the retreat of the center to compress the ball space and prevent the opponent's midfielder from receiving the ball and turning around. "

"That is to say, the midfielder mainly forms a competition for the ball through reasonable positioning. In fact, the requirements for physical fitness are slightly lower."

"Taking a step back, my team's Gattuso, Ambrosini and other veterans have strong tactical execution capabilities. Even if their physical fitness declines, they can support them in high-intensity pressing, so I am not very worried."

"Of course, if possible, I still hope that we can introduce a player with stronger defensive ability and better physical strength in the midfielder position, so that I can better support my tactics..."

"Papa..." There was applause in the office.

It was Allegri who was applauding!

Then he turned his head and said solemnly to Galliani:
"That's him! My assistant coach in the new season!"
