Chapter 455 Adjustment of Ancelotti
Halftime break is very critical for Ancelotti. With his personality, if you want to make a big adjustment to the team, you must call the players together and listen to your face, so that you can pass on your intentions to the players. In the first half, he was repeatedly restrained by Inter Milan because the speed of adjustment was too slow. Unprepared.
On the way back to the locker room from the player's channel, Ancelotti couldn't wait to say to Zidane, "You should run actively so that Dibbino is not easy to stare at you."
Zidane was very angry in the first half, and his performance was beaten by his successor, the French descendant Dalma, which annoyed him, and Piero ran more lazily than him. He said unhappily, "You didn't see that guy. He is like a scoundrel. Even if I run to the penalty area, he will follow the penalty area."
"But you didn't run to the restricted area." Ancelotti was also very unhappy.
"I don't think this is necessary to prove it." Zidane was even more unhappy. He was the one who was leaving, and he also heard that Ancelotti would leave at the end of the season, so he didn't give Ancelotti face.
Piero is the real boss of the team. He saw Zidane and Ancelotti arguing, and there were reporters around him who excitedly shot the camera to this side. He said, "We played not bad. At least on the scene, the two sides are evenly, but we are too unlucky, otherwise the score should be 1:2 or 2:2."
Ancelotti also saw the reporter secretly filming at this time and said, "Let's go back to the locker room."
Back in the locker room, Ancelotti did not fire at Zidane again, and his target became the midfield, because both goals were related to the defender's mistake.
"Our defense is very problematic. The first goal was conceded. The cooperation mistake between Montero and Tudore was the cause. The later bad luck was just that we gave them the opportunity to make a light long shot, but such a mistake can be avoided. We have made a reasonable division of labor before the game. The defender is also responsible for the second loss of the goal. Ferrara's failure to follow Recoba is the key. The two-on-two defense is a little difficult, but Davis will come back soon. If you interfere with the opponent's pass, we can change the status quo. This is a battle that attracts the attention all over the world, which is related to winning the championship. There can't make any mistakes. It happened that the opponent is very good at taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes, which we said before the game, but you made mistakes twice.
Ancelotti's criticism is named, and the target is a veteran like Ferrara, a tough man like Montero, which shows that he has been angry.
However, Montero, Tudore and Ferrara didn't buy it, because they felt very innocent and wronged. After 10,000 successful defenses, they were forgotten after the game, but if they made a mistake, they would be criticized. Moreover, they felt that although they were directly responsible for losing these two goals, the main problem was still in the midfield. It helps them defend and does not put pressure on the opponent on the attack.
Montero is the most irritable. After listening to Ancelotti's words, he immediately said unhappily, "The side road has been broken through. Don't I need to make up for it?"
After Tudole came to Juventus, he was unhappy, his position was not fixed, and there were many injuries. In this suffocating war, his nerves were highly nervous, and now he finally broke out. He spread out his hands and said, "Coach, it's not my fault. The two of them hit me. How can I stop it? "
Ferrara didn't say anything, but he threw his sneakers to the ground hard, and the dissatisfied fool could see it.
The head coach and several players have quarreled, and they are indispensable players of the team. At this time, if both sides do not give in, they will not play in the second half of the game. Civil strife will always be more terrible than strong opponents.
At this time, both sides need a peace to come out and adjust, and this person can only be Piero.
Piero, who debuted in the Padua youth training camp, joined Juventus in 1993. Two years later, he successfully replaced Baggio as the core of the team, thus starting a black and white legend. In the past five years, Piero led the team to fight south and north and won all the championship honors.
However, in the away game between Juventus and Udinese on November 8, 1998, they collided with the opposing defender and tore the cruciate ligament in the left knee. The injury kept Piero away from the field for 9 months, which made him miss the whole season and greatly affected Piero's competitive level. In the 1999-2000 season, Piero only scored 8 penalty kicks. It was not until the end of the season that he scored the only sports goal of the season against Parma. With his poor condition, Juventus was also insulated from the champion.
Piero is in an average state this season. He has only scored 6 goals in the league so far, but no one can challenge Piero's status in the locker room. Even Ancelotti has to tie Piero to control the locker room.
"The team is behind, and you can't blame all the defenders, just like the lead can't be attributed to the striker..."
Piero took the lead in saying a fair nonsense, but at this time, such nonsense is necessary, because when everyone is controlled by emotions, a rational nonsense from the authority can make everyone wake up.
When Piero saw Ferrara thinking about the interface, he waved his hand to Ferrara and then said, "As I said, we don't play bad. Don't complain about each other. Think about what we play against other strong teams. In such a game scene, we will not fall behind, let alone two goals, but yes. The ability to seize the opportunity is too strong, and our luck is a little worse. But according to the coach's deployment, we will not always fail to score goals. The key is unity and struggle, not to complain to each other.
Piero finally held Ancelotti, which made Ancelotti feel a little more comfortable. He also knew that after the chaos in the locker room, he was the one who was most affected. Now he is sitting on the crater. It is rumored that Lippi will return to Juventus to replace him. He must play well this season, and this game is The key is that through the half-time game, Ancelotti finally has a deeper understanding of Jiang Mu, and the more he knows, the more afraid he is. Ancelotti believes that he is by no means mediocre, but whether it is the tactical deployment before the game or the command adjustment in the game, the opponent seems to be at the same level as him. The key point is that Ancelotti doesn't believe that anyone else in Serie A can subdue this devil from the East. Capello and Eriksson have proved that they can't deal with him. Now Capello's only advantage is that they don't have the opportunity to talk directly with Inter Milan. As long as they continue to win, they can win the championship. If it is surpassed by Inter Milan, Ancelotti feels that no one can overtake it back.
Ancelotti coughed and his tone became gentle. He said, "Everyone's arguing is also for victory. Our goal is the same. Alessandro is right. We are no less than our opponents in the scene and the opportunities we create, but it is a little worse to seize the opportunities, and this The difference is only in the score. It's not that our striker's ability is poor. We have two great strikers and a great midfielder..."
Speaking of this, Ancelotti secretly despised himself, because the striker's ability was not bad, but he was not in good shape, and because of the few goals, Piero even quarreled with Inzaghi, the best partner in Serie A, who was also called "Gemini" at that time. Piero blamed Inzaghi for not knowing how to cooperate and wasted too many opportunities. With respect for himself, Inzaghi thinks that his task is to score a goal. Does the striker have a chance to pass the ball without shooting in front of the goal? In the end, Ancelotti could not mediate, and it was Moggi who came forward to resolve the conflict. But since then, Piero and Inzaghi have been a little separated.
"...The gap between the two goals conceded is not small for teams with similar levels, but we can't give up. I hope everyone will pay attention to it. Don't think there are still eight games left. I dare to say that if we are overtaken by Inter Milan, I'm afraid we can't wait for their mistakes..."
Ancelotti stopped here and let the players digest this sentence.
Juventus players have become serious when they hear this. Even Tudol and Montero, who have always been indignant, have shown a trace of worry, because what Ancelotti said is true. Judging from this half of the game, the team is as disciplined as the army all the time, and there is no army. It's dull. When the formation changes, 11 people are like a person, and talented players also have the opportunity to play at will. Such a team does make them very afraid.
Ancelotti next adjusted the tactics of the second half, because Inter Milan no longer took the side, but counterattacked, and the middle became a breakthrough, so Ancelotti must strengthen the protection of the middle, but the two side attacks cannot be given up. The opponent's defense in the middle is very thick and layered, and there is no side. The assist is difficult to open in the middle.
So Ancelotti replaced Tudore with Trezeguet, who can grab points in the middle. Zambrotta came to the right-back position, both defensive and assistable. Piero returned to the midfielder and played double midfielders with Zidane. Trezeguet and Inzaghi in the front could grab points, while Trezeguet and Pierre The header skills that Luo and Inzaghi don't have. In this way, Juventus' formation is still 442, but the style of play is different. It can be said to take both sides and the middle. For Inter Milan's 4312 formation, Ancelotti's adjustment is very targeted. Although Ancelotti's ability to adapt to the war is far less than Jiang Mu, he can still show the level of a world-class coach by giving Ancelotti a certain reaction time.
In the locker room of the visiting team, Jiang Mu did not make any adjustments to the lineup and playing style. Now Inter Milan is leading by two goals, and it can completely adapt to all changes. Even if the strain is slow and the opponent pulls back a goal, he is not afraid. As long as he has the initiative, he has a way to subdue Ancelotti.
