It has been said that the best way to judge a manager is his performance after his team has scored a goal.
After the team finally scored and took the lead, they began to be like a miser who got a windfall, and began to conservatively want to keep the advantage and keep the score, which is a low hand, and this kind of person is often easy to become the target of others' reversal.
On the contrary, after scoring and taking the lead, continue to maintain the situation on the field, that is the master!
Yang Cheng also used to be low-handed, he made mistakes and learned to be obedient, so now he has become a master.
When the team scored and the whole Old Trafford stadium and even the whole world were boiling, he did not choose to be conservative, but asked the players to continue to put pressure on AC Milan on the pitch, and he kept asking the team to continue to attack the AC Milan defence, and he did not hesitate to push the defense forward.
In fact, what he wants to achieve is the same as those low hands, no different, it is to keep the score 1:0 and go into halftime, but he does it in a completely different way.
With a score of 1:0 and a huge advantage on the field, it was not only a morale boost for Inter Milan, but also a heavy blow to AC Milan.
Most of the changes made at half-time were based on the period before the end of the first half.
Therefore, Yang Cheng gave Ancelotti a big problem, that is, how to start the second half of AC Milan when Inter Milan was attacking? How do you equalize? How to reverse?
Of course, Ancelotti will have a headache, and Yang Cheng's side will not have a good time.
"What do you think Carlo Ancelotti will do in the second half?" Yang Cheng turned his head and asked the assistant beside him with a solemn face.
Paul Beyer looked at Benitez and was the first to speak: "They never opened up the situation in the first half, if they can equalize the score in the second half, then the situation will be eased, and from the attack in the first half, the middle is out of play, I guess Ancelotti is likely to use Rivaldo." ”
The Brazilian's ability to tear down the flanks is still excellent, and his inward cuts down the flanks and his excellent individual skills are all things that Ancelotti can rely on.
"You think it's going to change strikers?" Yang Cheng frowned.
In fact, he thinks that judging from the current forward configuration of AC Milan, if you really want two strikers, Rivaldo is more effective than anyone else, whether it is her partner Shevchenko or Da Inzaghi, they are all awesome and coaxing, but no matter how strong the strength is, it is not as good as Prime Minister Lao Bei's heart.
Paul Byerton was stunned for a moment, and his heart was a little hesitant.
A manager's strategy is like playing a game of chess, and he has to make trade-offs.
Just like now, Inter Milan has a strong attack, AC Milan is passive, but whether it is the midfield or the back, they have better withstood Inter Milan's attack, so that at the last moment of the first half, the field was in a stalemate.
In this stalemate, whether it is from the back or in the midfield, taking down a person may break the balance on the field, and no one can say whether the result will be good or bad.
If a manager's normal choice is to keep the central midfield intact, remove either Shevchenko or Inzaghi and replace it with Rivaldo, but is Carlo Ancelotti really willing to do that?
You must know that these two strikers already have quite complaints, plus Lao Bei on the top of their heads, once the midfield is replaced, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not go crazy after the game, and these two gods are crazy, and the effect is completely different from Rivaldo's madness.
At least Brazilians don't get much of a hit.
If you say that you change people and win, it's good to say that at least you have chips, but once you lose......
It has been proven countless times that Carlo Ancelotti does not change two strikers, which is why Rivaldo complains that he has few chances!
"How's Kostacuta's fitness?" Yang Cheng turned around and asked.
Tim Hank immediately looked at the data on his notebook, and could probably guess the veteran's physical fitness from the running distance and other data, after all, he is old, and in this kind of high-intensity competition, it is inevitable that the physical consumption will be faster than usual.
"It should be almost!" Tim replied.
Benitez was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Do you want to give him another one?" ”
Yang Cheng laughed, "Today's AC Milan backline is like a difficult old man, whether it is Costacuta or Maldini, they are not young, the latter is fine, but Costacuta, it is obvious that his physical fitness is a little unable to keep up, if he ...... at this time",
The Chinese raised his right hand, made a cross-cutting motion in front of his neck, and then laughed, "Do you think it will be very enjoyable?" ”
Benitez shook his head, "What a madman, we're ahead!" "Spaniards find it difficult to understand.
At this time, the safer tactic is that Inter Milan will continue to adhere to the tactics of the first half in the second half, let the backward AC Milan press out, and then use AC Milan's loopholes to counterattack, so that no matter whether they can score or not, at least they can maintain their advantage.
"Wouldn't it be better to send them straight on the road?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
After a pause, Yang Cheng said again: "And to be honest, I don't think Ancelotti will press out and fight!" ”
This is a kind of guessing the other party's mind, Benitez and others will guess that Ancelotti will press out to fight, will the Italians not guess? Won't he be wary of Inter Milan continuing to stick to the tactics of the first half?
Maybe he just thinks that Inter Milan wants him to press out to play, so he doesn't press out, after all, 1 goal behind is not really unacceptable for him, as long as he can score in the second half and equalize, then who wins and who loses is not known, but if it is pressed out, Inter Milan seizes the loophole and then goes to the next city, then the game is really over.
As long as you think about it this way, it is not difficult to understand that Yang Cheng's tactics seem to be risky, but in fact they are not very risky.
Costacuta has a yellow card, as long as Inter Milan continue to seize this area and chase hard, AC Milan will have to defend, when the time comes, the right side will be attacked, and if it can't be broken, it will be taken by surprise on the left side.
Yang Cheng's idea is actually very simple, I just saw that your right side is not good, so I took the initiative to attack, and attacked until you had to strengthen your right side defense, and attacked until you had to retract, even if you held the right side, but you will definitely expose loopholes in other areas, and then I will surprise your loopholes.
It's a brutal, even brutal tactic, and it's also very suitable for Inter Milan today, after all, the Nerazzurri have the advantage in strength, the score is in the lead, and the game is also superior.
Yang Cheng is telling you that I will attack you until you collapse!
One more goal and the game ended early.

At the start of the second half, players from both sides returned to the pitch without any changes to the line-up.
"It seems that in this kind of crucial final, the managers of both sides are still focused on stability, and they still choose to believe in their own lineup, after all, this is also the strongest lineup they can put together."
"But there is no doubt that Ancelotti, who is temporarily behind in the game, will definitely adjust his tactics, but how will Ancelotti adjust without replacing Rivaldo, who has a good voice?"
Inter Milan, who won the right to serve, still chose to attack the left side.
After the ball had bounced back and forth a few times at the back, Emerson was quick to send the ball to the left and to Zambrotta.
The Italian full-back, who was very active in the game, got the ball forward and was ready to enter the AC Milan half, but Gattuso immediately surrounded it.
At the same time, Zambrotta, a teammate of the Italian national team, knew that Gattuso was powerful and knew that it would be troublesome to be entangled by him, so before him, he knocked the ball horizontally to Pirlo, who attracted Gattuso's attention after winning the ball, and knocked it back again.
At a one-two, Inter Milan dribbled through Gattuso's defensive zone.
Zambrotta took the ball and continued to rush forward, and Nedved, who was clearly biased to the right side in the first half, appeared at the front of the box in the middle this time, and as soon as he saw Zambrotta coming up, he immediately leaned in.
The Italian faced Costacuta directly, but instead of a direct impact, he opted for a cross-knock, and Nedved won the ball on the line of the box, leaned on Ambrosini with his body, and fired a powerful volley straight away.
The ball was so powerful that although Dida fell to the ground at the left post, it sounded the horn of Inter Milan's attack.
As the second half gradually unfolded, Yang Cheng's midfield adjustment became more obvious.
The two strikers Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy are both concentrated in the box, the Brazilian can roam around Ruud van Nistelrooy at will, can drop back or see the moment to pull the side, and Nedved is more like a left winger, who is responsible for directly attacking this area of Costa Couta, while Zambrotta behind him is responsible for receiving it. , on the contrary, on the right side, Inter Milan scored a goal in this area in the first half, but Yang Cheng directly gave up the attack on the right side in the second half, and instead attacked the left side with all his body and mind, Zanetti basically did not step forward, and Deco's position was more forward, like a forward midfielder, responsible for delivering shells to the two strikers in the penalty area. As a result, the right side fell into a stalemate stage, but on the left, Inter Milan frequently played a threat. Provided by Qihang Huolongjun
'AC Milan look precarious on the right side, is Carlo Ancelotti thinking about a substitution?'
The on-site commentator saw Inter Milan frequently attacking the left side, especially in the 47th minute, Zambrotta and Nedved on the left side cooperated, and Nedved led away Costacuta, Zambrotta went directly to the bottom line and passed into the penalty area, almost assisting Ruud van Nistelrooy to head through AC Milan's goal, which scared everyone into a cold sweat.
"Costacuta, who has a yellow card, looks a little overwhelmed, after all, getting a yellow card, it's like he has a rope tied to his body, and he has to think twice about what he does, for fear that he will get the card if he is not careful, plus Inter Milan rushes to this side, which makes him look embarrassed."
"In the first half, Inter Milan also attacked the left side, but suddenly crossed diagonally to the right side and created the first goal, which made Ancelotti not dare to be careless at all in his defense on the left side, especially for Deco, whose position is relatively unfixed, the whole line of defense is stretched very long and very open!"
'One of the most important considerations in football tactics is how to play with width and depth, and now it seems that Inter Milan have done a good job of that.
"Everyone knows that as long as Inter Milan scores again, then AC Milan will almost lose this game, at this time Ancelotti should make adjustments as soon as possible and completely suppress Inter Milan's offensive, otherwise, the right side will be lost sooner or later!"
When the on-site commentators saw the situation on the pitch, they couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Ancelotti.
Inter Milan attacked aggressively from the beginning of the second half, almost pressing AC Milan's right flank, and Costacuta was staggered on the left and right, and the field was precarious.
…………
…………
Carlo Ancelotti stood in front of the visitors' dugout, his attention on the pitch.
He clearly saw the threat created by Inter Milan, and he also knew Yang Cheng's intentions.
If he has read Jin Daxia's novel, he will find that Yang Cheng is actually a bit like the moves in Dugu Jiujian, attacking hard, attacking where you have to defend, that is, attacking the right side of AC Milan.
If you don't want to be blown up on your right side, you have to defend!
This completely ruined Ancelotti's original strategy of attacking after the second half.
"Roque Júnior, go warm up!" Ancelotti shouted back.
When Tassotti saw it, he immediately stood up, walked up to Ancelotti's side, and asked in an unkind tone: "You want to replace Costacuta?" ”
Ancelotti is the head coach, so he naturally doesn't like Tasotti to provoke his authority, but Tasotti feels that his position has been snatched away by Ancelotti, so he is unwilling to be his deputy, and the relationship between the two is really not good.
Of course, if it weren't for external coercion, they would have looked very harmonious.
"Questions?" Ancelotti didn't look back and asked directly.
"Yang Cheng made it clear that he wanted us to defend, I think it should be replaced by Rivaldo now, and we have to fight back!" Tasotti feels that the back line may not be able to defend, but if it can make a counterattack at this time, it will undoubtedly suppress Inter Milan's momentum.
On the other hand, at this time, he turned to defense, and he would lose to Inter Milan in terms of momentum, scene, and score.
In the case that the rhythm and situation are controlled by the opponent, it is easy to attack and defend from attack, and difficult to attack from defense!
There is no doubt that Tasotti is more radical and risky, as if the attack is further strengthened, Inter Milan are likely to break down the AC Milan defence directly from the right and score again.
Ancelotti's idea is to be more safe, first stabilize the defense, and then slowly try to counterattack, after all, there is still more than half an hour left, as long as there is one more goal, it will be extra time, and it may even drag into a penalty shootout.
"We should bring on Rivaldo, replace Rui Costa who is inactive, and continue to stick to our attacking tactics on the wing!" Tasotti was insistent and felt it was the best thing to do at the moment. Qikong Huolongjun provided it, and Ancelotti was thinking, he wanted to weigh the pros and cons.
"Let Roque Júnior warm up!"
In the end, Ancelotti chose to trust his own judgment and chose a more secure tactic. The reason is very simple, Yang Cheng completely gave up the attack on the right side in the second half, Zanetti never stepped forward, defending Seedorf, if he replaced Rivaldo, the effect may not be obvious, but the balance of power on the right side will definitely be broken.
Once the balance of power is broken, no one can say whether it will favor Inter Milan or itself.
Yang Cheng still has Córdoba, Recoba, and wide players like Perrotta on hand, and when Ancelotti moves to the right, he will also follow, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
But if you just replace Costa Kuta and bring on Roque Júnior, at least you can hold on to the current situation.
"Time, there's still 35 minutes, isn't it?" It was as if Ancelotti was seeking forgiveness.
Tasotti looked grim, he didn't think Ancelotti's substitution was correct at all, because this is a conservative approach that is afraid of death, AC Milan loses by 1 goal, even if it is not good, what does it matter if it loses two more goals?
In the finals, losing 1 goal is a loss, losing 2 goals and losing 3 goals is still a loss, is there a difference?
But the Italian still chose to obey, and he walked over and asked Roque Júnior to warm up.
The Brazilian can play as a centre-back or a full-back, is a versatile defender at the back and is ready to warm up as soon as he hears he is available.
Yang Cheng is also paying close attention to the actions of the away team's coach's box.
"Roque Júnior?" Paul Byer looked at Yang Cheng.
The latter smiled slightly, "That's why I said, timid guys are always cowardly, let Recoba go warm up!" ”
Everyone immediately looked at each other, and they all felt that this guy was really a little crazy, but crazy was very interesting.
Especially when the two sides made substitutions one after another, AC Milan replaced Costacuta and replaced Roque Júnior, Inter Milan replaced Zambrotta, who had performed well throughout the game but was already a little out of fitness, and replaced the wide attacker Recoba, all the fans at the scene cheered and cheered for their respective teams.
"From this substitution, you can see the different tactical concepts of the two managers, Ancelotti still has not gotten rid of the traditional limitations of Serie A managers, that is, at critical moments, their first consideration is not to make mistakes and not to concede goals."
"On the other hand, when Yang Cheng is at a critical moment, his first consideration is often how to score goals or create opportunities!"
"It's likely to be a substitution that will steer the game around!"
Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines, hugged Zambrotta who walked off the field, and then asked the Italian to watch first.
When he returned to the home team's coach's box, back to Paul Beyer and other assistants, the Chinese looked confident.
Looking at the frowning Ancelotti in the distance, Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing.
"From the moment he decided to bring on Roque Júnior, the suspense was lost and we won!" Yang Cheng spoke with great confidence, as if victory was already in his hands...... )
