Chapter 44
Of course, Conte just felt a little strange, but he didn't panic, and even a little bit secretly happy.

The game time has passed 30 minutes. Except for the two opening wing attacks, most of AC Milan's troops are placed in the middle of the midfield, fighting against Juventus.

This is exactly what Conte wants.

In his 3-back formation, what he is least afraid of is the center, and what he values ​​most is also the center.

No matter how Milan tear the width of the wing, or initiate a wide range of transfers from left to right, Conte is not very concerned.

The only point is that Milan will never even think about the space at the front of the penalty area.

Judging from the current game, Conte feels that Milan's coaching staff should be very uncomfortable, right?
No matter how they toss, Juventus is firmly standing in the middle formation, and the defensive space extended from this is even more impenetrable to Milan.

In the first 30 minutes, Milan's three forwards had no choice but to try long-range shots at the front of the penalty area, but all failed.

Conte couldn't help but glanced at the visiting team's bench.

But I saw the Milan coaching staff headed by Allegri sitting in their seats, expressionless.

"I guess they are having a headache now, hehe." Conte smiled secretly, "When you show your flaws, it's time for us to score."

His basic tactical idea of ​​352 is to base himself on the defensive formation, and then use the ability of the frontcourt striker to counterattack from defense to offense.

In this style of play, midfielders are more responsible for defensive tasks, and the main role of offensive players is to find Pirlo and form an offensive organization through short-term continuous kicks.

Milan's goal was wide open when Pirlo made his way through Milan's defensive space and found the striker with his precise pass.

……

At this moment, the situation on the field changed a little.

Milan's formation began to retreat a little, and the fighting seemed to become less fierce.

Now Juventus can also hold the ball better to organize attacks.

Duan Xuan also explained this: "Milan seems to have run out of the three opening axes, but their offensive was thunderous and rainy, and they didn't create much threat. Director Zhang, do you think there is any problem with Milan's tactics this time? "

Zhang Lu: "Milan's opening strategy seems to have failed. Instead of scoring a goal, they fell into the defensive net woven by Juventus in the middle, resulting in a serious decline in the physical fitness of Milan players. So now Milan's formation recovery is helpless. After all, no team can keep pressing for a whole game."

Duan Xuan: "Then do you think this will be the beginning of Juve's counterattack?"

Zhang Lu: "Yes, it is very likely that Juventus will take advantage of the situation to launch an attack. However, Milan has done a good job. Although they retreated, the overall formation is still quite level, the three lines remain compact, and the players The tactical execution is in place, which fully demonstrates their usual high training level. If Juventus wants to break through Milan's defense, it still needs to look at Pirlo's organization, hehe..."

indeed.

On the current field, whether it is Salah and Mane's pressing on the Juventus defense, or Kante's suppression of Vidal, it is difficult for Juventus to play the ball in the middle and can only go to the side.

Lichtsteiner on the right also received the key care of Gattuso. After Juventus tried a few times, it didn't work, so they could only hand the ball to Pirlo frequently.

At this time, Pirlo will take the initiative to move to the left to get the ball, and then try to pass the ball to get rid of Milan's layer after layer of defense.

This is also a routine used by Juventus midfielders.

Because Pirlo himself is not a player who is good at physical fitness or defensive ability, in order to give full play to his offensive ability, it is necessary to prevent him from engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent.

Just like when he was in AC Milan or the Italian national team, Pirlo will always have Gattuso to escort him.

Now that Gattuso is already the enemy on the opposite side, and Vidal, who is doing this dirty work at Juventus, is restrained again, Pirlo will habitually transfer to the side with fewer opponents to catch the ball and launch an offensive.

And now, the left side of Juventus is the most suitable position.

However, after three and 10 minutes of high-intensity midfield fighting, Pirlo has declined in both physical fitness and concentration.

Anyone who has played football knows that if the flames of battle are evenly burned in every position of the court during a game, you may play longer;
But if you keep fucking hard in the area you are in, you will soon be worn out to the point where you can't even lift your feet.

In the previous game, Milan's main attack area was where Pirlo was located.

After all, Pirlo is already a 31-year-old veteran this year. In this case, it is not easy for him to do a good job in offense, so we can't expect him to make any special contributions in defense.

Therefore, when Pirlo is on the left, the defensive intensity on his side will inevitably decrease.

And this is exactly the opportunity that Pan Yi has been waiting for.

The stuffing that took so much time to make before is just to make good dumplings at this time!

……

At this time on the field, Juventus once again fought fiercely for the right midfield position.

After receiving the ball, Lichtsteiner was pressed by Gattuso and could only pass the ball to Vidal who was closest to him.

But Kanter was also interfering behind Vidal, so the Chilean midfielder chose not to stop the ball and knocked the ball directly to the left.

Pirlo, who was originally standing in the middle midfielder position, has already run over there to catch the ball.

But at this moment, Milan defender Van Dijk, who was still a few meters behind Pirlo, suddenly walked forward, made a sudden effort, and broke the ball first.

After stealing the ball, the Milan central defender did not pass the ball immediately, but continued to lead forward.

Pirlo originally wanted to return to his position after losing the ball, but seeing Van Dijk dribbling the ball forward, he could only continue to go over and fight back on the spot.

Juventus's left midfielder, young player De Qieli knew that Pirlo's defensive ability was weak, so he also came to help the big brother.

At this time, Van Dijk protected the ball with his back and passed it back to Thiago Silva.

At this time, Juventus' left, which is Milan's right, has been emptied.

It was too late to say that Thiago Silva, who has a good passing ability, has already made a big transfer and sent the ball to the unguarded Salah on the right.

Salah quickly dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area!
Juventus' left central defender Chiellini hurried over to defend, and stood on Salah's inside route, ready to steal the ball at any time.

Whether it is Conte's exhortation to the defensive players before the game, or Chiellini's own experience in this game, as long as the two young wingers of Milan are prevented from cutting in, basically the opponent will not be a threat.

But this time, Salah just made a gesture to bring it in, and then flicked his ankle and gently pushed the ball to the outside, which is the direction of the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a red and black figure, quickly cutting in along the right road.

It's Milan's right back, Zambrotta!
