Chapter 46

However, although Conte wants to give Pan Yi some color, in fact, Juventus is now facing a dilemma.

Conte's lineup when facing Milan is to be based on defense and then counterattack.

But now that the ball is conceded first, Juventus will press out to play, try to get the score back, and then score more goals to win.

And if AC Milan starts to fight back, the efficiency will be amazing.

Their previous away games against Barcelona have proved this.

Milan has several young players with extremely fast speed in the frontcourt. If Juventus really dare to press hard, then Milan's coaching staff will definitely use Conte's best way to defeat Conte.

Fortunately, it is only the first half, and there is still a lot of time.

Conte decided to make a good adjustment in the second half.

Therefore, Conte did not let his disciples start attacking with all their strength immediately, which would be too risky.

If Milan steals another one and further expands the score, this game will be even more impossible to play.

As a result, the last ten or so minutes of the first half were spent in a relatively dull stalemate.

Milan led Juventus 1:0 at halftime.

……

"Good job!"

"Good kick!"

"Come on, keep going!"

In Milan's dressing room, coaches high-five and encourage players as they walk in.

In such an important game, it is very necessary to maintain the morale of the players and give them the necessary appreciation and encouragement.

Especially when they are leading, tell them not to be proud, and then try their best to play the second half of the game.

After everyone entered the locker room, Allegri also walked to the tactical board:
"Everyone, we are now ahead of Juventus in the away game. What we have to do next is to maintain this lead until the end, and then bring the three points back to Milan!"

"Yes!" The head coach's words immediately received a positive response from all the players.

Although all of them were out of breath after half-time hard work, the leading result also made them very excited and full of fighting spirit.

More importantly, they are now very confident in the tactics designed by the coaching staff.

The trend in the first half was almost exactly what the coach told them before the game.

In the end, Milan also seized the opponent's loopholes and used the routines in training to score a key goal.

In the hearts of many players, the arrangement of the coaching staff is simply amazing!
Allegri continued:

"In the second half of the game, Juventus will definitely strengthen its offense. And our first thing to do is of course defend. As long as we don't concede the ball, we can win."

"It is conceivable that the situation in the second half will be more difficult than the first half. You can feel that the strength of this Juventus team is very strong. When they attack with all their strength, they will put a lot of pressure on us."

"But tonight we will tell Juventus, tell all the fans in the Juventus Arena, we can withstand this pressure, we are stronger than Juventus!"

Seeing the players nodding, Allegri looked at Pan Yi and Tassotti again:
"Do you have anything to add?"

Pan Yi was not polite, and took a step forward:
"Although we consumed a lot of energy in their midfield in the first half, we also consumed a lot. Your gasping as if you just finished telling me that."

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Pan Yi added: "So in the second half, we need to take the initiative to recover a little bit. While compressing the opponent's space, we should be careful not to waste too much energy. We did a good job against Barcelona in this regard."

"I feel that Conte will change the formation. He may pull Chiellini to the left-back position, and then add a striker, playing a 433-[-]-[-] formation. This is also the formation he often uses when he needs to attack."

"So when they are attacking, the loopholes in the center will be magnified. I ask everyone to pay attention to looking for such loopholes while defending. Since our threatening offenses in the first half were actually initiated from the wing, Juventus In the second half, we should be paying attention to our flanks, so we will do the opposite and really attack their center!"

"In the end, every minute of the second half is a very difficult test for us. I also believe that you are all ready to beat Juventus and let them eat the exhaust behind us!"

After Pan Yi finished speaking, there were bursts of roars in the locker room.

This is the roar of the soldiers in Milan, vowing to win!

……

However, at the beginning of the second half, Conte did not immediately change teams.

It was still the same lineup at halftime, and he wanted to test if there was any change in Milan's tactics.

Obviously Milan has changed.

They no longer fought with Juventus in the midfield, but took the initiative to withdraw their formation and assumed a posture of defending and counterattacking.

In other words, if in other countries, if a strong team shrinks its defense and puts the bus on the bus, it will probably be criticized by opponents, the media, and even its own fans.

But in Italy, there is no such problem.

Defense itself is the foundation of Italian football in world football.

When AC Milan created the miracle of 58 unbeaten games, it also relied on defense.

As long as you can win, then 1:0 is enough. This is the philosophy of Italian football.

So when faced with such a scene, Conte, who started out as a defensive player, would not think of cursing the opponent for not talking about martial arts, but was ready to start adjusting his tactics.

Just 5 minutes after the pointer of the second half, that is, at the 50th minute, Conte made his first substitution.

Left midfielder Deqieli off, striker Matri on.

De Qieli was restrained everywhere in this game, playing timidly, and his performance was really mediocre.

Now Conte replaces him, and then puts on a striker. The left center back Chiellini moves to the left back, and then the right forward Lichtsteiner retreats to the right back.

As Pan Yi predicted during the intermission, Juventus formed a new 433 formation in this way.

Matri's height is 183. Although he is not particularly tall, he has good speed and shooting ability due to his strong body. After being on top, he can greatly enhance Juventus' explosive ability in the frontcourt.

Milan, on the other hand, stood still.

The reason is simple. Compared with the three midfielders of Barcelona, ​​Juventus is a combination of two engineers and one brain, and its creativity is far inferior to Habaibu.

With Milan laying such a tight net, it is difficult for Juventus to pass the ball smoothly through the midfield and send the ball to the striker comfortably, and it is difficult to cause a threatening shot.

Therefore, Conte's adjustment did not improve after playing for 20 minutes.

So, when the game progressed to 70 minutes, Conte made another substitution adjustment.

Exit Pato, enter Tony!
It is worth noting that when Pato was off the field, there were boos all over the Juventus Arena...
