Chapter 724: Turning into a header team and crashing into the Son of God
The arrival of Toney, Grosso and Materazci has strengthened Inter Milan's first-team squad and made more changes in the team's technical and tactical play, although the midfield personnel have not been replenished, whether it is Grosso, Gresco or Zanetti can switch between defenders and midfielders, in fact, the midfield is abundant.
On the front line, the addition of Toni has also brought Inter Milan's first-line forward line to five, which will not be as urgent as before, not to mention that Recoba can also be converted between the forward line and the midfield, and the current Inter Milan is really stronger than before.
The effect is reflected in the training competition.
The inclusion of Toney, Grosso and Materazzi on the bench has significantly strengthened the bench and Toni has been able to find the back of the net even with Blanco and Cordoba in defence.
The most intuitive feeling is Córdoba.
Córdoba is an alternative centre-back at 1.73, perhaps the shortest centre-back in the top five leagues. But don't think that he is short and has no height advantage, then he is very wrong, this guy has a bounce power of 99 in the later live games! It's the same level as Ronaldo's data!
But in training, he was completely blown up by Luca Toney. In the face of sheer height, Córdoba fell into the underdog, scoring with two headers in quick succession by Luca Toney.
This also gave Córdoba a glimpse of Luca Toney's identity as a giant. Of course, these two goals conceded also have something to do with Blanco, because Blanco didn't come to help, if Blanco came to help, Cordoba believes that the two of them can easily deal with Córdoba.
But here's the contradiction, because Blank can't get out of it. Because in addition to Luca Toney, another Italian Grosso is also quite a headache. Tony is 1.93 meters tall, and Grosso is 1.90 meters tall, a difference of only 3 centimeters.
This is not the deadliest, because in addition to these two guys, there is also a 1.93-meter guy, and that is Materach.
When three defenders with a height of more than 1.9 meters entered the big penalty area, you can imagine how much pressure there is on prevention and control! It's hard to prevent. Although the substitutes were at a disadvantage in midfield, they scored two goals from four corners and were evenly matched with the main side.
All this is also in Mourinho's eyes, these are the tactics he set, can he not be surprised? Now, the trouble of happiness comes, he has to think about who to send in the Milan derby, mainly in the position of central defender, he began to hesitate, it seems better to partner with Materazzi Blanco, can completely deal with the prevention and control, as for the left side, for the time being, it is still the best Glesco to defend.
This is mainly due to the problem of team understanding, the players who have just arrived may have strong individual ability, but football is never a one-person sport, but a team sport, not everyone is Ronaldo, and can solve the problem alone.
Although he didn't make up his mind, Mourinho made a change in the second half of training, with Materazzi being put on the main side and Cordoba being put on the substitute side......
Córdoba is depressed, and the first confrontation training was robbed of his place by Materacchi's guy? Of course, he was not to be outdone, and gave full play to his bounce, which also made Adriano very depressed, and found for the first time that Córdoba's bounce was so strong, Adriano is also 1.89 meters tall, and he jumped on a par with him.
Is this going to be the head team? Zheng Zhi also sighed. If Inter Milan gets the opportunity to attack from a corner, then Adriano, Grosso, Materazci, Blanco, and Toney are in the penalty area, and the opposing defenders will be difficult to parry, right? He sounded that in Bayer Leverkusen back then, it was also a few big tall men who grabbed points in the big penalty area, making the opponent unguardable, but today's Inter Milan seems to be even more terrifying.
"Sleepy, you're going to step up your passing drill,"
"These big guys are terrifying."
At the end of the training, Zheng Zhi chatted with Pirlo for a while. "As long as it's a corner, we put the ball in their head and let them grab the point, there's not so much mess. Set-pieces will be another big goal for us. ”
"I've never seen such a horrible head team......"
"Uh~" Pirlo also laughed, "I haven't seen it either, I think there are four or five people playing in the penalty area, and basically the landing point will be grabbed by us, but obviously Toney may not be in the starting lineup very often, we should have four such players?" ”
"Yes, four is enough, we still have people ambushed on both sides and outside, even if the opponent grabs the first drop point, the second drop point may still be ours, and then we divide the side, cross, continue to bomb with headers, tsk~"
Zheng Zhi licked his tongue, and then suddenly felt a little overjoyed, "Sleepy skin, you have changed, and you have become more fond of thinking." ”
Pirlo was slightly stunned, "Really?" Why didn't I feel it? ”
"Bystanders, I can feel it. In recent games, you've also taken the initiative to get the ball and figure out how to solve the problem. You used to pass the ball to me whenever I was on the pitch, even if you had a better chance, which is dependency, and now you're trying to make a difference. ”
"Thank you." Pirlo's gaze was clearly a little excited.
"Playing AC Milan, maybe I'll be stared at and then you'll have to share more of the task of attacking the organization."
Hit Milan? Zheng Zhi became a little excited when he thought of the series of starry names. The current AC Milan team may be the strongest team in Europe on average, and it is no wonder that they will rule Europe for many years later, although the Istanbul tragedy happened later, but it is impossible to deny their strength in every position, not to mention that even the son of God Kaka came here in advance.
Of course, Inter Milan is not weaker than them, although the stars are not as bright as them, but the strength on paper is definitely not weak.
Although there are still three days to go before the Milan derby, the whole of Italy is now in the news of the Milan derby.
With the rise of Rome and Lazio, many people gave the honor of "real derby" to the derby of the city of Rome, but the derby of Milan City is the traditional derby of Italy, and it can be regarded as a century-old derby.
In this weekend's derby, the pressure was actually even higher for AC Milan. It was six years since AC Milan beat Inter Milan in a derby. On March 20, 1994, they won 2-1 against Inter Milan. It was also the time when AC Milan dominated Europe. In the final round of matches before Christmas this year, AC Milan drew Perugia at home, and it must have been uncomfortable to think about Christmas and New Year; Inter Milan defeated the "dark horse" Atalanta 4-3 in Bergamo, and the morale of the whole team is now high.
The derby was extraordinary for Zaccheroni. Contracts extension talks that were supposed to take place on January 6 were postponed due to the team's draw with Perugia, and the game naturally became Zach's last test. Berlusconi has always been unimpressed with Zach and has always wanted to kick him out of Milan; Galliani is very optimistic about Zach and always clamoring for a contract renewal. Either way, the results are the most important thing. If AC Milan can't change their wobbly form in a short period of time, Zaccheroni will be settled. It is not for nothing that there are people who succeed him, and Trim is one.
Or maybe it's Juventus coach Carlo Ancelotti. Carlo Ancelotti's position at Juventus is also precarious and could be expelled at any time, and AC Milan have secretly contacted him.
AC Milan have heavyweights on all fronts, Costacuta, Albertini, Redondo, Rui Costa, Maldini, Kaka, Leonardo...... A neat Milan are quite capable and quite scary, but they are only in second place at the moment.
Just the 2nd? Yes, the second is a failure for AC Milan, and the first should be their place.
Coach Zaccheroni had mocked Inter Milan and Zheng Zhi a few days earlier, but in the past two days he has become much more low-key, and if the Milan derby cannot be won, he may really have to roll up and leave early.
However, his players were very excited, and the German big man Bierhoff was very excited: "I'm in good shape right now, and I haven't scored against Inter Milan before. I feel like if I could start, I could have scored. ”
Bierhoff is asking Zaccheroni to start.
Boban is less optimistic: "Our results in the derby were terrible. Adriano and Ronaldo are both tough opponents to deal with. Not to mention the Chinese, I think the direction of our training today is a little uncertain, and the offense and defense have not been unified. Although the words are tactful, in fact, the finger is pointed at Zaccheroni, the manager did not build AC Milan well, AC Milan did not play well enough.
Captain Maldini also showed caution in an interview, "Although we are playing at home, whether it is San Siro or Meazza, the home advantage is not so obvious at all. Inter Milan are in good form at the moment, AC Milan are a bit up and down, I don't think we're at our best, a lot of my team-mates don't realise what the Milan derby is and that will show in the game. We have more than two days to face all this. ”
It can be seen that Maldini is not too satisfied, "Although we have a lot of options in midfield, it is better to be cautious, too many midfield changes have made AC Milan lose stability. ”
He also put forward his views tactfully. Zaccheroni's recent changes in midfield have been a bit big, Redondo has not been in great form since returning from injury, but he occupies a central midfield position, Seedorf has not played at a high level since moving from Inter Milan, Rui Costa has played well, but the young Kaka threatens him, Zaccheroni likes to give his young fellow more opportunities.
Overall, Zaccheroni's lack of balance in midfield has left a lot of complaints from many of the team's big players. The troubles of happiness can sometimes become the troubles of pain, and for Zaccheroni it was the latter.
And for Inter Milan's Jose Mourinho, he is the former. Inter Milan are full of personnel right now, but they won't change their squad easily. As long as the main players are alive, the starting 11 has basically not changed much.
After a few more days of drills, he has a more tacit understanding of the new players, but he is a very cautious guy, in the last two days of drills, he still did not change the previous main lineup, Materacci, although they are very useful and quickly entered the new role, but he put the team tacit understanding in the first place.
So, there is no difference in his starting line-up from before, and of course, Materacci, Grosso and Toney have met the requirements to play for the team and are ready to be on the bench at any time.
Even more rare news is that Vieri is finally back on the training ground, and Inter's forward line is finally complete. However, it didn't look good, and after an hour of training in the gym alone, he couldn't hold on anymore and came to the training ground.
Looking at high school striker Tony, he fell into deep thought.
This guy who climbed up in the second division is his own substitute?
He rubbed his eyes, feeling a little incredible. A guy who can't even get into the Italian national team, how can he be his own substitute? In the Italian national team, the substitutes are superstars such as Inzaghi and Pierrot......
But he saw Adriano in a blink of an eye, and the doubts and arrogance in his eyes before were instantly swept away, wasn't Adriano also unknown at first? Now that he has fought against him, he doesn't even dare to say that he can play better than Adriano.
It's really 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor......
"Hey, Bobo,"
"You still have a training project to complete."
The strength and conditioning coach didn't know when it was coming and called out to him.
"Ah, yes, I'll go back."
Vieri licked his tongue in response, then silently turned his head and walked back, it seemed that he could no longer be as headstrong as before, and the most important thing was to play the main force again. It's no longer a paradise for itself.
Those guys on the training ground are practicing corner kick attacking tactics, but there is no self in it, even the most proud header is not his own patent now, there are too many players with excellent headers here......
※※※※
The remnant sun is like blood, and the afterglow shines on the snow, which looks very ghostly. After returning home after training, Zheng Zhi still increased his training, trotting all the way on the path outside the villa, breathing steadily.
Just when he turned a corner, he suddenly collided head-on with a man in black who was just as fast, and both of them sat backwards and fell to the ground.
"Ah~"
The man in black let out a scream of pain.
He didn't make a sound himself, because there was no, the other party seemed to be half a head taller than him, and his forehead was on the other party's nose, and the other party naturally covered his nose and wailed.
Zheng Zhi hurriedly looked up, yo?
Isn't this the Son of God?
Actually collided with yourself? Sometimes, the world is so laughable and too coincidental.
