Chapter 54

Lecce's bench.

Head coach Di Francesco felt a drop of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

This former Italian international who was a Roma midfielder in the player era and played in the 2000 European Cup is actually just a rookie in terms of coaching experience.

Lecce is only the first top league team he coached, and it is also his first year leading the team to play in Serie A.

But he immediately felt the sinister nature of this high-level competition.

Can't kick anyone!

0:2负于乌迪内斯,1:2亚特兰大,0:3维罗纳,0:2卡利亚里,0:2巴勒莫……

They haven't even touched a team that can be called a strong team!

Later, it was only a narrow victory over Bologna in the bottom of the table to win Di Francesco's precious first victory in Serie A.

After only three points in the first six rounds, Di Francesco has already felt the management's distrust of him, and rumors of getting out of class are also circulating around him.

So today, when facing AC Milan, the strongest enemy he has encountered since entering Serie A, Di Francesco is ready to defend the audience and vow to get a point.

Five defenders and four midfielders formed two impregnable walls, trying to make Milan's attack a bloodbath and return in vain.

but now……

AC Milan is too fierce, right?
From the opening to the present, in just a few tens of seconds, Milan has already completed the first shot.

The line of defense that Di Francesco thought he had carefully laid out seemed like paper in front of Milan's attacking group.

Especially when Milan's three forwards and three midfielders were pressing in the frontcourt, they felt so well-trained and had a clear division of labor, and they grabbed the ball in an instant.

Then he was very resolute in attacking. The midfielder Xiao Hei gave the ball to the wing without hesitation, and then the Arab dribbled and passed the ball, and finally Ibrahimovic completed the shot.

Although he did not concede a goal, Di Francesco already had a bad feeling.

According to this situation, Lecce can't keep it!

After all, football games are played for nine and 10 minutes!

Di Francesco couldn't help turning his head to look at the visiting team's bench.

I saw Milan's coach Allegri just sitting in his seat, looking as usual.

Based on Di Francesco's previous research on Allegri's style of play, this Italian colleague usually pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and even prefers defense.

Today's away game, why come up so fierce?

Don't you want to save face?
Di Francesco shook his head and began to pray silently.

It's only now that the game is starting. It's impossible for him, and he doesn't have the ability to make any major adjustments to the tactics arranged before the game.

And he is already in a defensive formation, can he still adjust to an offensive formation and play against Milan?

Is it too long?

He can only hope that AC Milan will focus on offense now, so that there will be loopholes due to the defense line being too high, so that Lecce can counterattack and steal, and the situation will be much better.

But after DiFrancisco watched for a few more minutes, he realized he was wrong.

Milan's high position presses and oppresses. Although the players often attack, the overall formation is very compact.

In particular, the two wings of the frontcourt are relatively close to the center when defending, compressing the entire space very tightly, the formation is also very meticulous, and the overall movement is very coordinated.

It seems that Milan's tactic is to deliberately compress the effective range of the game into a small area in the middle. When Lecce had to transfer the ball to the side, Milan suddenly suppressed their side players, forming a local numerical advantage, and then Steal the ball.

Coupled with the fact that Milan's frontcourt is pressing harder and investing more resolutely today, the entire Lecce team is overwhelmed and has no chance to fight back.

The game lasted 8 minutes, but Lecce couldn't even make an attack.

On the other hand, Milan has launched offensives again and again, and each time is more threatening.

The time has just entered the 10th minute, and Salah, who was still on the right, dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough. After reaching the right side of the front of the penalty area, he sent a cross pass.

Ibrahimovic turned his back, and Boateng rushed into the penalty area from the back row, and then shot angrily.

The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! Milan scored! Lead away!"

Lecce's "bronze wall and iron wall" defense lasted less than 10 minutes before it collapsed!

……

"nice shot!"

In front of the visiting team's bench, Pan Yi jumped up, clenched his right fist hard, and roared.

Allegri and Tassotti looked at him in surprise.

Now Pan Yi has experienced so many Serie A and Champions League games and is getting used to such goals and victories.

Under normal circumstances, he will only be more excited when facing a strong opponent and scoring a goal when facing difficulties.

But today he is only facing the underdog Lecce, and he scored so early, why is he so excited?

How did they know that Pan Yi and Lecce had a personal grudge!

When he went to the interview, he was kicked out by Lecce executives without saying a word. He remembered it!

Just like being rejected by the U17 of the national football team back then, it would be fine if he really felt that he did not meet the team's requirements after the interview, but Lecce just rejected Pan Yi because he was young and he was from Longguo. He couldn't swallow his breath!
As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, and the gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for four months...

Now that there is this opportunity to slap in the face, can Pan Yi not let it go?

This is why he strongly promoted the use of mad attack as Milan's main tactic today.

Enter as many as you can, absolutely no mercy!

Now, there have been cheers from Milan fans on the court, and Boateng also rushed out of the court to celebrate excitedly.

The midfielder was not appreciated by Pan Yi at first, thinking that he played relatively freely and loosely, and it was not easy to implement Pan Yi's tactical style of play.

But with the passage of time, he gradually understood Pan Yi's tactical intentions by Ibrahimovic's side, and gradually proved himself in training, and finally he was able to strictly enforce tactical discipline in games.

Now his strong body, tenacious fighting will, and formidable aggressiveness in defense are all very suitable for Pan Yi's appetite, and he has naturally become the main force in the team.

It can be said that there are many similarities between Boateng, Gattuso and Ambrosini, and he is better than young, with better physical strength and stronger drive. Even in this system, he can also play his role Offensive potential.

Today Boateng scored a goal, he is naturally very excited.

After he finished a Dragon Kingdom Kungfu-style celebration, he rushed to the sidelines, and while high-fiving, hugging and celebrating with his teammates, he also saluted the visiting team's bench.

"Great job, keep attacking! Keep scoring goals! Fuck it!" Pan Yi shouted from the sidelines.

The words reached the ears of Di Francesco not far away, and his eyes stared straight.

What kind of hatred and resentment is this?

Be forgiving and forgiving!

My wife and kids are watching...
