Chapter 95 Starting to show timidity?

Milanello.

On the training field, AC Milan is being divided into two teams for confrontation practice.

One side is the main team headed by Ibrahimovic, while the other side is full of substitute players.

Pan Yi sat on the sidelines, staring intently at the players on the field.

The main team Salah broke through from the wing and made a pass. Ibrahimovic in the center jumped up and wanted to head the goal, but was stuck in the position by Nesta of the substitute team.

This also made Ibrahimovic's strength insufficient, and the ball was easily obtained by goalkeeper Abbiati.

Pan Yi nodded slightly.

The 36-year-old Nesta has already passed the peak of his career.

In fact, in Pan Yi's previous life, after playing this season, Nesta was going to the American Major League for retirement, and then announced his retirement.

But even so, Nesta still maintains a good competitive state and can stand up when the team needs him.

More importantly, his professionalism also gives him an important position in the locker room, playing an exemplary role for the young players in the team.

In last season, Nesta was still the main force of the team;
And the arrival of Van Dijk this season allows him to only play the role of the third central defender.

However, Nesta was not affected at all, and he was still conscientious in training, and faced Van Dijk's advice and so on, he also gave unreservedly.

It is also beside Nesta and Thiago Silva, two of the world's top central defenders, that Van Dijk can grow so fast.

At this time on the field, the main team got another chance to attack.

Van Dijk found Mane in front with a direct long pass from the backcourt.

Substitute defender Mex made a direct grab, but was deftly swung by Mane, then broke into the penalty area and scored the goal.

Pan Yi frowned.

In the substitute team, Pan Yi has always let Nesta and Mex to partner, of which Mex is responsible for the attack, and Nesta is responsible for delaying the defense.

However, since this pair does not often appear together in official competitions, there is not a particularly tacit understanding between them.

Especially Mex, although the French central defender has good physical fitness and is very hardworking, but he is a bit frizzy, and sometimes he judges the wrong position of the ball, resulting in mistakes.

Just like the ball just now, in fact, Mex can stand still first, and wait for Nesta behind him to reach the assisting defense position, and then wait for an opportunity to block the path of the ball.

But he went up without a second thought and was easily swung away, revealing a wide gap behind him and conceding the ball.

"Pause."

Pan Yi blew his whistle and shouted at the players.

Then he called Max and Nesta to him again and began to tell them about the problem that had just arisen.

In the current AC Milan, Pan Yi is the first assistant coach.

Now that Allegri is absent due to illness, Pan Yi is the interim head coach who will do his part.

Whether it is another assistant coach Tassotti, or all Milan players, they naturally accepted this setting, and no one would think there was anything wrong.

This is precisely due to the foundation Pan Yi has laid in the team in the past year, and due to everyone's trust in him!
Moreover, Pan Yi is well known for the details of the team's tactics, so even if this suspension is only to correct some minor problems of the substitute players, no one thinks there is anything special.

The players were drinking water after the game and took the opportunity to take a break.

From Nesta and Max, Pan Yi's voice can be heard from time to time:

"Your cooperation with each other must be in step, and cooperation must establish a sufficient tacit understanding!"

"Max, you go up too fast sometimes, Nesta, you can see clearly from behind, so pay attention to calling him."

"Communicate more, communicate more!"

"In my place, there is no absolute main substitute. Whoever is in good condition will be able to play!..."

Both Nesta and Max were nodding seriously, as if they were listening to the teachings of their elders.

If someone he didn't know came to see it, who would have thought that Nesta was even ten years older than Pan Yi.

……

far away.

A man put down the binoculars in front of him, tidied up furtively, and climbed down from the tree.

After landing, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number:
"It's me, Mr. Coach."

"They've played 30 minutes of training and they're taking a break now."

"As far as I can see, there hasn't been any change in their starting line-up. Yes, it's exactly the same starting line-up as they played against Chelsea."

"That's right, the tactics have not changed. After getting the ball, we still look for Kante."

"...Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Coach. I will continue to work hard!"

"Then I'll go back to our training base first. I'll report more detailed information to you in person!..."

After hanging up the phone, the man turned his head to look at the direction with a smile on his face, then got into a car parked not far away, and headed towards the Pinettina training base.

……

At the press conference before the game, although Pan Yi expressed his desire to win the championship, he kept a low profile.

"Compared with our last two matchups with Inter Milan, their coaches have changed, and their main lineup has also undergone major changes, so I can't predict what will happen in tomorrow's game."

"But in any case, Inter is a strong team in Serie A. They have players who can change the game, there is no doubt about it."

"Yes, we respect Inter, but we still hope to beat them and finally win the Serie A title this season."

"Our head coach Allegri's absence from this game certainly has an impact on us. But we will still implement our consistent tactical policy and play out our game content. I have said many times that our Milan coaching staff There is a high degree of unity of thought.”

"His condition? He's recovering very well. He's—stop coughing! . . . "

On Stella Maggioni's side, he obviously showed a stronger desire to win than Pan Yi.

"This battle at Meazza is my first Milan derby after coaching Inter Milan. It is also related to our ranking in the Serie A standings, and it also determines whether we can participate in the Champions League next season."

"So, we will never let Milan leave Meazza holding the championship trophy!"

"Milan can win Serie A, but not at San Siro, not tomorrow!..."

The last loud words also represent the determination of Stella Maggioni and Inter Milan.

And everyone can see that Stella Maggioni seems to be very confident in defeating Milan, feeling that everything is under control.

Especially compared to Pan Yi.

Judging from Pan Yi's low-key speech, it seems that he does not have absolute confidence and certainty in this game.

Did he start to show timidity when he was really in charge of Milan (although it was temporary)?

As a result, the media and fans all over the world are full of interest in tomorrow's Milan Derby.

In this "young marshal" battle, who will have the upper hand?
