Star Coach

Chapter 253: Don’t let anyone escape unscathed

(A new week, please subscribe and give me a reward!)

The Milan lineup is also dominated by veterans, especially the back line, which is full of old men. Except for Nesta who has returned from injury, he is only 28 this year and is in his prime as a defender.

Dida is the undisputed starting goalkeeper, and the back line is lined up. Maldini appears at the left back position, the central defenders are Nesta and Stam, and the right back is of course Cafu. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the oldest back line in Europe.

Jiangshan's arrangement in the midfield has changed a bit. Gattuso and Ambrosini partner as the back midfielder to protect the defense line. In front is the combination of Seedorf, Pirlo and Kaka. Kaka appears at the winger position, but he is a free man.

Shevchenko is at the front, Vieri and Inzaghi are on the bench. Jiangshan needs the control and creativity of the midfield, so it can only sacrifice the forward line. Shevchenko is in better condition and Inzaghi is more suitable as a substitute.

Vieri had communicated with Jiangshan before the game. He was the main player in the next Champions League group match, so he had to play as a substitute in this game to preserve his physical strength. He believed in Jiangshan.

After the game started, Juventus was as steady as ever. The midfield launched an attack, but the organization was not very penetrating. It was stable, but lacked changes.

Jiangshan had seen Capello for a long time. He studied him in his previous life, and had several experiences of playing against him in this life. As long as he was properly prepared, Jiangshan had enough confidence to win.

Of course, the players' on-the-spot performance was very important.

Just like now, Juventus' on-the-spot performance was obviously better than Milan. Ibrahimovic and Trezeguet seemed very excited at the beginning, constantly attacking Milan's defense.

I don't know if Ambrosini had fewer games, but he was a little nervous when facing Vieira and Nedved, and he made mistakes at the beginning.

Vieira's pass penetrated Ambrosini's defensive side and easily sent it to the front court. Trezeguet was smart, running and holding the ball, and had the experience of a mature striker.

Fortunately, Maldini was very comfortable in the left back position and easily stuck in position. Trezeguet could not develop further. The ball was passed back and was snatched away by Ambrosini who returned to defense.

In the first few minutes, Juventus's attack was very methodical, which was to use Ibrahimovic's high point. Unfortunately, Ibrahimovic did not play the role of a god tower.

He is obviously a player with great height, weight and strength. His footwork is also beautiful, but his header is not strong enough.

Jiangshan smiled, and the development of the situation on the field gradually entered his prediction. Good thing. Ibrahimovic is not mature yet. Guaiola once scolded him and asked him to perform well, and then found Juventus for him to win the league.

Anyway, he will leave next year.

Milan is attacking, Pirlo received the ball, Kaka was sprinting, but was controlled by Zambrotta in a good position, not to this side, split the side, Seedorf's position is better.

Seedorf's offensive organization was very sharp. He turned around easily without passing anyone. The ball passed from Zebina's crotch, and Shevchenko appeared on the route, showing great tacit understanding.

These players have a strong tacit understanding. The ball IQ is one aspect, but more importantly, they have been together for several years and naturally know what the other party wants to do.

Shevchenko cut into the penalty area and faced Cannavaro. He did not have much advantage. The space for shooting was blocked. He passed the ball back to the middle. Pirlo passed it to Kaka.

But there was no space for sprinting. Kaka played averagely. His technique was not delicate enough. It was difficult to play a role in a small space. He had to kick the ball and pass it. Shevchenko could not control the ball and was taken away by Thuram.

"The defenses of the two teams are very similar. They are both chain defenses. It was a wonderful game." Huang Jianxiang praised, "I believe that such a lineup will also create great games after the World Cup."

Milan's offensive organization began to gain the upper hand, pressing Juventus to grind. Buffon loudly commanded the defense not to give them a chance.

"Kaka, block Kaka, he's very flexible. And Seedorf, Zambrotta, you stand here, don't give him space."

Pirlo stood in the corner kick area, raised his hand, kicked, and the ball flew up coquettishly, not spinning to the penalty area, but a tactical corner kick. He saw the players running, and the ball fell and appeared in front of Juventus's penalty area.

Gattuso's position, he took a step, attracted the defense, and then leaned on his position and passed the ball to Ambrosini next to him. Ambrosini knew this set of tactics, Jiangshan's arrangement, a very simple tactical move, knocked it, and the ball passed between Zambrotta and Vieira.

This position happened to be Seedorf who was left alone, and the timing was just right, stepping on the changing steps of Juventus players.

"A beautiful pass, it went in." Huang Jianxiang shouted excitedly, "Jiangshan's tactical arrangement is great, this position, this time, it's just right."

Seedorf entered the penalty area, took a step, and immediately passed the ball, knocked it horizontally, and passed it to Shevchenko's feet. Buffon moved, and he felt that Shevchenko was going to shoot.

Unexpectedly, Shevchenko continued to transfer, passing the ball over the top, a coquettish passing action, few people dare to do this in the penalty area.

Seedorf saw the opportunity, continued to press forward, successfully countered offside, and his body was level with Cannavaro.

The man arrived, the ball arrived, and the shot was a simple and neat action. When Buffon dived, it was too late, and Seedorf opened the scoring.

"Good ball, exquisite cooperation, it can be seen that Cannavaro's shortcomings were still used." Huang Jianxiang laughed, "When Jiangshan was in Monaco, he did a lot of work on Cannavaro's height weakness, and now he is still continuing."

"In the 27th minute of the first half, Milan took the lead and Seedorf opened the scoring." Director Tao said calmly, "You can't tell, but Jiangshan is still very good and has trained Milan more delicately."

"Many people feel that Jiang Shan has not changed in Milan. No, Jiang Shan has quietly changed Milan's tactics. They are still the same people, but the cooperation is more delicate, and when new people are on the court, they are beginning to be able to control the situation. This is all progress. ”

"It's like this. Jiangshan has really brought something new to Milan. What I feel most deeply is the stability and sophistication. Working with this wave of veterans, I feel full of security." Huang Jianxiang continued, "I can't wait to see Jiangshan Can he lead Milan to win the Champions League?”

The team fell behind, and Capello was a little flustered. He hadn't encountered such a situation in many years. He couldn't help but look at the head coach area next to him. There was no one there. He quickly turned around and saw Jiang Shan sitting calmly on the coach's bench, motionless.

"This guy just likes to show off, but if he succeeds in Milan, he can become the number one head coach of the era. Who else can stop him?"

Of course there is pressure on Jiangshan, and he has good results, but in Europe there are still the newly rising Benitez and Mourinho, followed by Guardiola, Simeone, and even Klopp, who can set off a crazy craze.

"Old-school guys, you can retire." Jiang Shan stared at Capello and couldn't imagine that Capello would coach Real Madrid next season and win the league championship.

But today, he must not be allowed to escape unscathed.
