"Piero retreats, Upper Divaio?"

Yang Cheng swept over Juventus' lineup, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

Guessing the opponent's lineup is actually a bit like playing stud, some cards are open, who the opponent will use, how to use him, these are fixed, and apply to the star players or core players of both teams.

But some of the cards are hole cards that you can't guess until the last minute, and these hole cards are often the ones that can determine the outcome of the game.

"The old fox is the old fox, and he may have to attack at the beginning!" Yang Cheng immediately understood.

Paul Baier was also a little surprised, this really doesn't look like Lippi's style, but when you think about it, it's not unreasonable.

Inter Milan are good at control, and if Juventus just give up and seek stability from the start, Inter Milan will be able to easily take control, which will be dangerous for any team.

However, if they attack from the beginning, they may be able to rush the pace of Inter Milan, and Juventus may be able to disrupt the rhythm of Inter Milan, and then disrupt Inter Milan's tactical deployment.

It's easy to figure out the afterthought of going back in time based on the results, but who can predict the prophet until the truth is known?

"Tell the players to be careful at the start!" Yang Cheng admonished.

If Juventus wants to attack, it must have found a loophole in Inter Milan, and with Lippi's strength, Yang Cheng did not dare to be careless.

To put it bluntly, today's Inter Milan is to focus on me, let the opponent play a strategy, and then resolve it, instead of always thinking about restricting others, which will outweigh the losses.

…………

…………

There was no need for Yang Cheng to remind them that their teammates immediately realized this as soon as they noticed that Juventus' lineup was a little different.

When they saw Paul Beyer's gesture from the sidelines, they were even more certain.

Players from both sides lined up in front of the tunnel and shook hands.

Nesta and Di Vaio are good buddies, they grew up playing football together, and they have a strong relationship, so the two hugged each other, but the others basically shook hands in a hurry and walked over.

In the ensuing side-guessing process, Juventus won the kick-off.

Corina stood in the middle of the field, looking at the watch on his wrist with the whistle in his mouth.

When the whistle blew, the entire Meazza Stadium suddenly burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and countless Inter Milan fans immediately followed suit, and the team song of "Blue and Black Heart" fluttered in the stands of the Meazza Stadium and swept the whole stadium.

"Audience friends, this is the 11th round of Serie A in the 02/03 season, Inter Milan hosts Juventus, and now the game has officially begun, and Juventus is the first to kick off."

"We can see that Juventus quickly passed the ball back after the kick-off, but their players were actively looking forward for opportunities, and judging from Lippi's lineup, his tactics may not be to defend and counterattack as speculated, but to attack from the start!"

After passing the ball back and forth, it was quickly sent to Piero's feet.

The retreating Prince Bianconeri were like a playmaker with high hopes from Lippi, and when he got the ball, Trezeguet and Di Vaio both ran with him, with the French striker on the right and the Italian striker on the left.

Inter Milan's defensive system is also very solid, the first time in the face of attack, Nesta organized a good defense, Emerson directly forced Piero, and the Bianconeri prince's pass did not come to Di Vaio's feet, but was directly tackled by Lucio, and then cleared with a big foot.

An attack was defused and a throw-in was formed, but the Juventus players did not have the idea of retreating at all, but took the initiative to press forward, as if they were not worried about Inter's counterattack at all.

After the throw-in, Nedved, who retreated to take over the defense, directly brought down Conte, who had the ball, and both looked like they had a little spark, especially Conte, who got up and had some not-so-clean abuse at Nedved, but the Czech ignored him and carefully observed the situation around him.

In front of the free kick, Juventus arranged for Piero to take the penalty.

The Prince of the Bianconeri sent the ball directly in, Trezeguet cut in the back row, knocked the header, and ferried to the middle, Piero followed and wanted to kick, but Nesta appeared in time and blocked Piero's shot beautifully, but Conte followed up with a volley, a little high! ,

"Juventus took a lot of initiative after the opening, played a very dangerous attack in one go, and the two shots in a row were very quality, and Inter Milan defended steadily, which is also their usual strategy, as long as they smooth out the opponent's sharpness, it is time for them to show their fangs!"

…………

…………

Yang Cheng clasped his hands in front of his chest, and Zhuo Li stood on the sidelines, watching silently.

Rafael Benitez and Paul Beyer stood behind him on the left and right, and they both watched the game with a cautious expression, each looking like a big enemy.

It can be said that Juventus's start was very imposing, showing the aggressiveness of the Bianconeri, especially their courage to press on the home of Inter Milan and create opportunities, which is indeed very rare, and it does surprise Yang Cheng and others.

Such an opening directly caused Inter Milan to be passive at the beginning of the game.

In the 7th minute, Thuram on the right side stepped forward and hoisted the ball into the penalty area at 45 degrees, Trezeguet and Lucio competed for the top, and the Brazilian steadily pushed the ball out, but Di Vaio behind him appeared in time for the vital position, stuck Emerson with his body, and volleyed directly with his left foot, which was high.

In the 9th minute, Camoranesi launched a surprise attack from the right flank, which directly caused a foul on Zambrotta and received a yellow card.

Two minutes later, Di Vaio and Piero intersected and interfered with Emerson's judgment, the former burst into the box and picked up Trezeguet, the Frenchman grabbed the penalty from 7 meters in front of the goal, Buffon performed well, saved the ball in time, and took a corner.

In the first 10 minutes, Inter Milan looked passive, which is rare in previous games. To be able to push Inter Milan to such a point, Juventus' midfield plays a big role.

"It's not the way to go on like this!" Paul Beyer frowned, looking distressed.

"Juventus' midfield blocked us very hard, Pirlo and Deco were both restricted, their two strikers pressed up, and then used Di Vaio and Piero to intervene in our defence, Emerson didn't have Lucio's support, and the defense alone was enough."

"This is a typical move to replace defense with offense!" Benitez calmly analyzed.

Even as an opponent, I have to admit that Lippi's hand is very bold and risky.

But Yang Cheng didn't think they would be able to hold the whole game.

It is precisely because Lippi himself knows this, so he has been attacking from the beginning with the aim of scoring goals!

Can anyone imagine what will happen next once Juventus scores first?

Taticina was on the bench and would come on as soon as Juventus scored, and then the four defensive midfielders would do everything possible to kill the game, if not win, to keep a draw.

"But don't forget, Rafa, attacking instead of defending is not a blind attack, nor is it a crazy attack that abandons everything and gives up a calm defense, but an effective attack against the holes in the opponent's defensive line!" Yang Cheng smiled slightly, looking still very confident and not flustered at all.

Even on the pitch, his team was forced to be a little embarrassed.

After listening to Yang Cheng's words, Paul Baildon also calmed down.

"Since Lippi wants to attack, let them attack!" Yang Cheng smiled, "Tell Nedved to let him retreat to the midfield to participate in the defense, Vanney and Ronaldo are still at the front, and Deco moves forward!" ”

Yang Cheng crackled and made adjustments, and after listening to Bergomi, he immediately conveyed his words to the players on the field.

The biggest advantage of Nedved is that he has both offense and defense, everything is good, there are no obvious flaws, you can use him as an offensive player, he can attack the city for you, you can also use him as a defensive player, he can still be the pillar of your defense, and the most rare thing is that he is always so hardworking.

Mobility is Emerson's flaw, it's normal, there are no flawless players in this world, good as Ronaldo doesn't do well on the header, let alone others?

Nedved's retreat is meant to fill Emerson's mobility gap.

The Czech's return was immediately cleared of a through ball from Di Vaio and he began to appear around Emerson to fill the holes in Inter's midfield. Today's Juventus has almost no midfield organization, basically the backfield directly finds the front, the three players in the midfield are all strong players who are good at running and stealing, and no one can organize at all, there was a Davies before, and now the Dutch have been beaten into the cold by Lippi.

In this case, Nedved's retreat is clearly aimed at Juventus' front trident.

This time, Inter Milan's defense immediately became solid, especially Nedved, who was good at running, appeared almost everywhere in the 32-meter zone of his side, and where there were holes, he went to fill them, without stopping for a moment, without the slightest tiredness.

Seeing this situation, Yang Cheng turned his head and looked at Lippi, who didn't know when he also came out of the posture of sitting firmly in the coach's seat and came to the sidelines, pointing to the game and the assistant pointing, as if he was saying something.

"Did you find it, Giuseppe?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

Bergomi was stunned, he didn't understand Yang Cheng's sudden question.

"Rhythm!" Benitez reminded with a smile.

Yang Cheng couldn't help nodding, "Juventus's flaws are obvious, the midfielder can't hold the ball and can't control the rhythm, so Lippi simply avoided the midfield, and directly played the backfield to the frontcourt similar to the long pass rushing and hanging cooperation, relying on the fulcrum of Trezeguet to carry out tactics." ”

"He gave up this tactic in this game because he knew very well that it didn't work for us, and switched to the front court of Piero and Di Vaio, Trezeguet was like a bridgehead, attracting the defensive force to the greatest extent, pulling and coordinating for Piero and Di Vayo's thread."

"Juventus started with a lot of aggression and we were scrambling, mainly because they were attacking from the start, Piero and Di Vaio pressed Lucio and avoided Emerson to play guerrilla, so we looked embarrassed, and Juventus had a lot of chances."

"But when Nedved dropped back and filled in the lack of mobility, their attack stopped, but then they couldn't stop, because if we were slow, we would have the ball in our hands."

If this situation comes to an end and you don't understand what it means, then Belgomi will really waste so much effort from Yang Cheng.

"Their tempo is constantly accelerating, and the mistakes will increase, and they will fight back!"

Yang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Try to give the ball to Pirlo!" ”

After a pause, Yang Cheng smiled: "The time for our counterattack has come!" ”

"Tell the players to completely drive this group of zebras back to the stable!"

…………

…………

In the 28th minute, Juventus launched a wave of attacks, and Di Vaio picked up a pass directly after receiving a pass from Conte.

The ball landed right in front of Lucio, and the Brazilian central defender immediately stepped up, but Piero was firmly stuck in position, and after stopping the ball with his chest, he turned nimbly and got rid of Lucio, just on the left side of the edge of the penalty area, and fired a direct volley. Trezeguet had already run in from the right side to answer, and when he saw Piero shoot, he immediately waved his hand in disappointment, as if venting his frustration to the Prince of Zebras.

Piero's hurried shot was firmly grasped by Buffon, and after the Italian goalkeeper won the ball, he got up from the ground and quickly sent the ball to Zambrotta on the left, who sent it forward to Pirlo's feet.

The Italian midfielder stopped the ball, turned around, made a long pass, and the whole process was done in one go.

Billindeli and Thuram both pressed forward, Ferrara and Iuliano were not up to speed, and they were all left far behind by Ronaldo at the moment of turning.

The Brazilian went straight past the entire Juventus backline and headed straight for Andrea Pirlo's long ball.

This was a rare counterattack, he was desperate to score the ball, so he was a little too impatient when stopping the ball, and wanted to pass the Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar who fell out by stopping the ball, who knows, but was held by Van der Sar in advance, and the person was also tripped up.

Corina was aware of the lack of a foul, and the entire Meazza stadium burst into boos.

There is no doubt that all Inter fans felt that it should have been a foul, that it should have been a penalty.

Yang Cheng saw that Ronaldo did not cross Van der Sar with a single knife, and immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but walk to the sidelines. "Hey, Ronnie, did you deliberately want to play something harder?" ”

After hearing this, Ronaldo smiled wryly and shook his head, of course he knew that the boss was unhappy, but in fact he was not happy.

"Patience, don't worry, understand? Give yourself a little more patience, we can win, see no, Juventus have reached the limit, they are going to fail! "Now Juventus is at the end of its strong crossbow after a burst of attack, and Yang Cheng has to hurry up to counterattack.

"Keep an eye on Ferrara and Iuliano's back, you don't care about the rest, just stare at where to fight, trust me, they won't be able to catch up with you on two legs!" Yang Cheng smiled and patted Ronaldo's shoulder.

The Brazilian drank the water, almost choked, smiled and nodded, turned around and returned to the court.

With the pace getting faster and faster, Juventus' passing errors are also increasing, and Inter Milan can easily seize the opportunity to play a counter-attack.

In the 32nd minute, it was Inter Milan in their own half, after Nedved's break, he took advantage of the situation and made a long pass, Ronaldo started again, but this time he could not cross the entire defense line, because Thuram was very focused on his defense and did not give him much freedom.

But even so, Ronaldo still used his personal skills to take the ball on the left side, and then forced the Juventus defense forward to the front of their penalty area, and then crossed with a cross, Van Nistelrooy's shot at the edge of the penalty area hit the right post and went out of the bottom line.

Seeing this situation, Yang Cheng immediately waved his hand and motioned for the players to press it directly.

"It's time for us to fight back!"

"Pavel, press up, directly suppress their defense, and do everything in your power to press their defense in your own penalty area."

"The defense line is pressed forward, Nesta is dragging back to protect, pay attention to Di Vaio's speed!"

The Italian striker, although not as fast as Ronaldo, was also a threat, and once the defence pressed forward, Di Vaio's counter-attack showed a threat, so Yang Cheng had to remind his players to take notice.

After the first 15 minutes of embarrassment and another 15 minutes of stalemate, Inter Milan finally regained control of the game under their feet, Pirlo and Deco also frequently interspersed with running in the front, carrying out encirclement and encirclement tasks, and also looking for Juventus' defensive loopholes.

Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo were stubbornly eyeing the Juventus defence, aggressively scrambling up front.

When the game was re-integrated into Inter's rhythm, it became Juventus who had to go from a frantic attack at the beginning to now tighten three lines, shrink into their own half, and organize a tight defence.

Seeing that the team was pressed back by several quick counterattacks by Inter Milan, and even taken away by the opponent in terms of momentum, Lippi looked helpless, because he expected the current situation after the start.

Perhaps, it will be even more embarrassing in the future, because that round of attacking has already consumed a lot of Juventus's physical energy.

On the contrary, Yang Cheng, after seeing the team regain the initiative and regain control of the game, he looked satisfied with the performance of his players, and was able to block Juventus' opening attack, which was already half the battle.

But this does not mean that he will be able to break through the opponent, because Juventus, who have contracted the defense on three lines, is not weak at all, especially as long as Lippi is given a little time, he will continue to strengthen the team's defense and resolutely implement the defensive counterattack tactics.

Inter Milan can't afford to give Juventus such a buffer time!

"Attack, as the chairman said, let's teach them how to play and how to attack!" (To be continued) [This text is provided by the Ghost of Sailing]
