Chapter 394 First Look
In the first game, he met a strong enemy like Parma. Many people sweated a cold sweat for Jiang Mu. Judging from the paper lineup alone, Inter Milan without Ronaldo is not better than Parma. In terms of status, Parma, which is also full of stars, is certainly not good, but Inter Milan is not as good as Parma.
Jiang Mu joined Inter Milan with a high salary of 5 million euros, and behind the reputation of a magical coach. Once he loses at home, there will be a lot of pressure on him. However, Inter Milan has many big-name stars, but they have never pinched a synthetic type, no fixed style of play, but just rely on the player's personal performance to win. In the game, Jiang Mu has only coached Inter Milan for less than a week. Even if he has the ability to deal with these large number of stars, it is still a big problem to give full play to the combat effectiveness of these stars.
Before the game, the Italian media were not optimistic about winning Parma at home. From Milan Sport to Republic, the vast majority of reporters think that this is a transitional battle and does not reflect Jiang Mu's coaching characteristics. It is likely to rely on the personal ability of the star to play. The reporter of Republic even thought that Jiang Mu was very likely to continue the original Tardelli's playing style, just making some fine-tuning.
Parma is currently ranked 7th in the standings. This position can only be regarded as the middle and upper reaches, but it is still far from enough for Parma, who is aiming to win the championship. Therefore, head coach Massalini is under great pressure, and every defeat is likely to lead to serious consequences.
At the pre-match press conference, Massalini attached great importance to the game. He told reporters that Parma must not lose this match between Inter and Milan.
"We and Inter Milan are both facing a trough. No one can afford to lose. I have encountered many similar bad times in the past, but we can often get out of trouble quickly. I am the only one who can get the team out of the bitter sea. Although I feel weak, I must firmly grasp the direction of the team in the wind and waves. Inter Milan is a strong team. They are fully strong enough to win the championship. It will be difficult to play in Meacha, but I believe that our team will definitely win this game and at least one point. I am very confident about it.
Massalini also talked about his views on Jiang Mu. He said, "Although Jiang Mu is young, his ability is beyond doubt. He is the kind of coach that Inter Milan needs, but he has just coached for a week. For any coach, it is impossible for any coach to make any change in the team within a week. I think this is also It's a chance for us to win.
Milosevic, the top scorer of the European Cup, said: "This game is crucial for Parma. Our supporters hope that we can play a good play. I feel very well now. I am in a big recovery from the previous period. I hope to score more goals in the game."
Milosevic, who has just participated in the march of his own people to overthrow the same president Milosevic, is a royalist in the club. He urges his teammates to do their best in this game and help the team and head coach Malaisani with practical actions, because in the current situation, if Parma loses this In the game, the days of Malaysani will be very sad. Mboma said: "Although Parma's current performance is not very good, the responsibility cannot be put on Malaisani alone. No matter what the result of this battle with AC Milan, we players will take responsibility."
With the arrival of Parma players and fans, Milan City became lively. From the afternoon, the streets were full of football.
In addition to a small number of Parma fans, there are Nellazuri in blue and black sword striped shirts everywhere. They have blue and black oil paint on their faces, blue and black team flags in their hands, and fan scarves around their necks. A large part of them come from countries other than Italy, and even the Inter Milan ball of the Eastern Celestial Empire. Fan, they all came to watch Jiang Mu's first performance at Inter Milan.
In the morning, when Parma was adapting to the field in Meacha, Jiang Mu sent Baresi to observe the enemy situation, and he led the team to conduct the final drill at the Pirtina training base.
When he came to Inter Milan for a week, as the outside world expected, Jiang Mu did not make too much adjustments to the lineup and playing style. There were only 7 days. Even if Jiang Mu wanted to change, it would not have much effect. On the contrary, it may have the bad results of learning to walk in Handan. Jiang Mu is a very practical person and will never do it for the district. Compared with his predecessor, or changing in a hurry by removing the traces of his predecessor, he only made small adjustments, and at the same time passed on some of his more easy-to-understand and accepted ideas to the players, such as forced grabbing and passing the ball.
Jiang Mu came to Inter Milan from the first day and emphasized these two points. The first is that all players must actively rush to grab. Whoever does not try their best to grab it will immediately change from the main force to a substitute in the next training class. The second point is to pass the ball. Jiang Mu requires all players to put the pass on the ball, as much as possible. Pass more and carry less. The player in the front court must fight back on the spot if he loses the ball, otherwise he will be immediately adjusted to the substitute lineup.
These two points of Jiang Mu are very inconspicuous, but they are also very practical. Forced grabbing can defeat the arrogance of the stars, slow down the opponent's counterattack speed, and reduce the pressure on the defense line. Passing the ball can improve the team's tacit understanding, increase the connection between players, and make the team united.
So from the perspective of lineup and playing style, Inter Milan does not seem to have changed much, but its combat effectiveness and tacit understanding have improved a lot.
Compared with the relatively conservative of other Italian leaders, Tardelli's coaching style is more aggressive. He is used to sending three strikers, but Morati, who likes to collect strikers, bought six or seven strikers for Tardelli, Hakan, Vieri, Zamorano, Rekoba, Pirlo, Robi Kean, these seven A lot of strikers compete for three positions. No matter which three players are put on the field, there will always be four sitting on the bench. This is why Ronaldo did not come back. If Ronaldo comes back, the coach will have a headache even more, because there will certainly not be only three good strikers in good condition and leave the good striker on the bench. They are definitely not happy. If they don't like it, they are prone to locker room problems. This is something Tardelli can't solve. He can't send all the strikers on the field.
After Jiang Mu took office, he immediately made a strange adjustment and put Pirlo on the back.
In Tardelli's "4-3-1-2" formation, a player with strong passing awareness dragged behind two strikers to form a third attack point. Pirlo has always been the main candidate for the "1" in the Italian youth team. In Inter Milan, Tardelli prefers to drag with Recoba, so that Recoba and Pirlo have become rivals. Pirlo has been asking for a transfer because he can't play the main force. Jiang Mu arranges Pirlo in the back position. Although Pirlo is not used to it, he has at least kicks the ball and can start, against a 2 This is very important for a 2-year-old young player, so Pirlo doesn't have much complaints and doesn't even mention the transfer.
After Jiang Mu put Pirlo in the back, the pressure on Recoba is also less, because Pirlo's technical awareness is very strong. With such a competitor, Recoba can't sleep well. Now Pirlo is gone. If Jiang Mu has been playing the 4312 formation, Recoba There are no competitors, which is also an important reason why Rekoba doesn't want to leave Inter Milan.
Jiang Mu's arrangement did not attract the attention of the media and Parma. First, Jiang Mu does not arrange it like this every time he trains. Second, he has inertia. Many people think that this is just a training time. Casually guest appearances. Pirlo is not active in running, fast speed, and soft defense. He is like this. It's a joke for players to hit the back. It's just like letting painters and poets sweep the streets. It's a violent thing. No one believes that Magic Coach Jiang Mu will be so stupid.
And Jiang Mu's other challenge did not attract much attention. Jiang Mu fixed Zanedi from the midfield freeman to the full-back, because Sanetti had played the full-back full-back before, so there was not much newness in this fix.
In the afternoon, Jiang Mu closed the training base, banned fans from watching, and refused to interview reporters. Jiang Mu conducted the team's last training and confrontation match. After the training, Jiang Mu determined his starting lineup and announced his starting lineup to the outside world at the press conference.
4312 formation: goalkeeper Frey, four-back Ferrari, Blank, Simic, Sanetti, two midfielders, Pirlo and Di Biagio, Rekoba is behind in the middle, while Sedorf moves behind him and on his side. The forward line is the combination of Vieri and Hakansuk.
Jiang Mu's start was released three hours before the game. After it came out, it aroused speculation from all sides, because Jiang Mu only arranged a defensive player Dibianio in the midfield. Many people think that Jiang Mu will fight aggressive football in this game, because Jiang Mu's formation and lineup can't be played at all. Defensive counterattacks and intensive defense can only be offensive.
Half an hour after Jiang Mu announced the starting lineup, Parma's head coach Massalini also announced Parma's starting lineup.
Parma is a 442 formation: goalkeeper Buffon, defenders: Cannavaro, Tolici, Tulam, Junior, midfielder: Almeida, Conesan, Miku, A Pia, strikeruluso and Milosevic.
Massaleni's platoon is a 442 formation with both offense and defense. Obviously, Massaleni, who is on the cusp of the storm, does not dare to take risks now. If he can get a point in Meacha, he can get a point. It is a victory against Parma. After all, this is not a cup match. Inter Milan, who was once abused and killed, will not let the same again. The tragedy happened in his own identity.
After Massalini announced the starting list, Inter Milan's training base was jubilant, and the players shouted loudly, because Parma's starting list was exactly the same as what Jiang Mu told them during training. Being able to accurately predict the opponent's starting lineup, Jiang Mu's magic finally saw the first clue, which increased the morale and confidence of Inter Milan's players before the game.
