Chapter 43 What do you want to do?
With the whistle of the referee, this much-anticipated Serie A focus battle began.

AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic drove the ball straight into Juventus's hinterland after driving the ball back into his own half.

After Kanter got the ball, he also distributed the ball to the right, allowing Salah to take the ball forward.

As the ball moved forward, Milan's three lines followed suit.

Even the two full-backs Antonini and Zambrotta have crossed the halfway line.

Apart from the goalkeeper, there are only two central defenders staying in Milan's own half.

"Ah, today's Milan started off with a bit of an anti-customer attitude. This is a bit different from our pre-match predictions. Director Zhang, what do you think?"

In the CCTV5 live broadcast signal, Duan Xuan's commentary voice also echoed in the ears of all Longguo fans.

For such an important game, the National Sports Channel, which has always broadcast Serie A, will naturally not let it go.

Then there was Zhang Lu’s voice: “Hey, this is indeed a bit unexpected. Milan’s aggressive momentum seems to be planning to seize the initiative in the Juventus Arena. We originally thought that AC Milan is now 4 points ahead in the standings. Today is an away game, and I should focus on defense. A point is a victory, but I didn't expect..."

At this time on the field, Milan also completed the first attack after the opening.

Salah took the ball from the wing, first made an emergency stop, and then suddenly started, trying to forcefully break through Vidal who was returning to the defense.

But this tough Chilean midfielder directly shoveled out of bounds and took Salah to the ground.

Since there was no additional action, Salah just got up silently and gave the ball to Zambrotta.

Zambrotta saw that Juventus' midfield was tightly defended, so he directly looked for Ibrahimovic in the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic barely shook his head and attacked the goal under Bonucci's close defense, but Buffon easily got the ball.

Zhang Lu: "Judging from the defense this time, Conte's Juventus team is definitely the top in the world. The five midfielders completely limit Milan's breakthrough space, and the three central defenders' air defense capabilities are not in vain. I feel Milan's aggressive attack. It doesn't work."

Duan Xuan: "I think so too. I heard that in Milan's current tactics, my country's coach Pan Yi is very involved. Guardiola and even Allegri have mentioned this. Director Zhang, have you studied Pan Yi? Is it his usual tactics? Is the attack at the beginning of today's attack from his handwriting?"

Zhang Lu: "Hey, it's not easy to see. I watched Milan's games, and the only thing I felt was that there were a lot of changes, and the targeted deployment in the games was also very detailed. But if you look at the young coach's unwillingness to admit defeat, The two moves at the beginning may have been suggested by Pan Yi. After all, if it was Allegri, he might be more stable..."

Milan's attack did not have much effect, but the players obviously played very patiently.

After a few backcourt kicks, he began to reorganize the offense.

This time it was from the left, allowing Mane to take the ball to the wing, ready to cut inside and shoot.

However, Juventus still defended very firmly. Lichtsteiner from the right midfielder came to defend. Marchisio was paying attention to cutting off Mane's passing line, while Barzagli and Bonucci behind were ready to defend at any time. .

Mane had no choice but to try to force a breakthrough.

But Lichtsteiner's positioning was very good, and he intercepted the ball in the corner of the penalty area.

Then, Juventus immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation.

This is the opportunity Conte has been waiting for.

Lichtsteiner immediately handed the ball to their midfield engine, Pirlo.

Pirlo just observed for a while, and then made a long pass to find the Juventus striker.

Pirlo's long pass was very accurate, and Vucinic also grabbed the first spot in front, but Milan's Van Dijk has also squeezed over to interfere behind him.

Vucinic couldn't turn around for a while, so he had to give the ball back to Pato.

At this time, Pato was about 35 meters away from Milan's goal, but he chose to kick it directly!

The ball flew out of the stadium high and landed in the fan area behind, which also caused a burst of exclamation from the Juventus fans at the scene.

Conte on the sidelines shook his head.

He was a little confused, why did this Brazilian boy who was still full of spirituality last season become mindless and unhappy when he transferred to his team this year?

Obviously, it is possible to cooperate with Vucinic again, or use the speed to pull a side pass, but why did this kick come and waste this hard-won chance to counterattack?

This kind of distance, let Pirlo not necessarily be sure to shoot, let alone Pato, who is not good at long-range shots?
Conte was speechless, but Pan Yi was happy.

He could tell that Pato wanted to express himself today.

For a striker, scoring a goal is when the coaches, players, and fans of his old club can seriously see his performance.

So when there is a shot opportunity in front of Pato, he wants to grab it immediately and convert it into a real goal.

But it is precisely because of this mentality that young guys like Pato are a little impetuous, and instead cannot correctly judge the situation on the field, and even affect the control of their footwork.

This shot speaks for itself.

If Pato still plays on the court with this mentality, Juventus' double forwards will actually be self-defeating, and the pressure on Milan's defense will also be greatly reduced.

Another Montenegrin striker, Vucinic, has a good sense of cooperation overall, with good skills and flexibility at his feet, but his shooting skills are average.

Even in the seasons when Juventus won consecutive championships, it was difficult for him to score more than 10 goals in a season.

So his threat is actually not particularly great.

Juventus' real attack power often comes from the midfield, especially Pirlo's long pass organization.

So Pan Yi's breakthrough point in this game is Pirlo.

Milan's attacking attempt at the beginning was actually Pan Yi's test of Juventus' defensive focus today, and to see if they would still take Pirlo when they counterattacked.

After confirming this point, Pan Yi's strategy for this game began to slowly unfold...

On the field, the two sides have started to fight fiercely in the midfield, and the possession of the ball changes hands frequently.

Vidal passed the ball to Pirlo, but Milan's Kanter was prepared, took the lead, cut off the ball, and then passed the ball to Gattuso.

However, before Gattuso could control the ball, he was stabbed away by Juve's Marchisio.

Pirlo got the ball, took a few steps, and was about to pass the ball, but Boateng behind him came up again and knocked him to the ground...

Time passed between the two teams stealing the ball near the halfway line. The game was intense and fast-paced, but since the opening two shots, neither has been able to produce another threatening shot.

sidelines.

Conte watched the game, frowned slightly, thinking:
"Why do I feel that Milan is a bit weird tonight?"

"In the past, they either played a quick counterattack, or directly advanced as a whole."

"Today, he just attacked us in the opening game, and then kept pestering us in the midfield. What do you want to do?"
