When the four members of Pan Yi's family entered the gate of Milanello, Pan Ying's eyes became more and more strange.
Although she majored in English, she also knew some Italian.
Moreover, she also recognizes the Milan team logo that can be seen everywhere!
"Brother... I seem to have really misjudged you." Pan Ying looked at Pan Yi, "You are much more promising than I thought."
Pan Yi laughed and said, "Isn't that right? A child can be taught when he finds his way back again!"
But Pan Ying immediately timidly put her mouth to Pan Yi's ear and asked: "Are you...are you a duck who specializes in serving professional players?"
"Ah!" Pan Yi flew over with a kick, but Pan Ying laughed and dodged it.
During the fight, they had arrived at the door of the hotel.
Tassotti was standing there in civilian clothes.
"Hello." Tassotti greeted Pan Yi's parents politely.
He used English.
He is 51 years old, and he is of the same age as Pan Yi's parents, so he doesn't need any special title.
"Hello. This is..." Father also nodded to Tassotti, then turned to Pan Yi, indicating that he wanted to introduce him.
Both father and mother also speak some simple English.
But soon, his father turned back to look at Tassotti: "Hey, you are... you are... Tassotti?"
As a player, Tassotti played for AC Milan for 17 seasons, helping Milan win 5 Serie A championships and 3 Champions League championships. He did not retire until 1996. His father, an old fan, obviously recognized him.
"Who is Tassoti?" Pan Ying looked confused.
Naturally, fans of the younger generation like her don't know the old players.
"He is my partner, and we are both assistant coaches of the team." Pan Yi said with a smile.
"I'm really a coach! I feel relieved now." Pan Ying jumped up, "Which echelon are you in? U20? U18? Or the reserve team? You are actually a coach in the Milan echelon. This is great. ah!!"
Tassotti looked at her curiously: "He's from Milan's first team. Hey, didn't Pan Yi tell you?"
"First team??" Father, mother and Pan Ying were all stunned for a moment.
After a few seconds, Pan Ying burst out and shouted: "Wow! AC Milan first team!! You joined the real Milan!"
Tassotti was stunned by the roar, and people passing by also looked here curiously.
Pan Yi then patted Pan Ying's head proudly: "Look at how smart you are, now you finally know what I do!!"
…
After settling down with his family, head coach Allegri took the coaching staff to the first team training ground in Milanello.
Most of the first-team players have returned to the training base.
Except for those players from Brazil: Thiago Silva, Robinho, and Pato.
They are in Argentina to participate in the 2011 America's Cup held there.
If nothing else, they will not return to the team until August. At that time, the club will let them fly directly to the Dragon Country to join the team - provided that Robinho and Pato have not been replaced by Galliani by then. Sold.
After the personnel was assembled, Allegri began the first training session of the new season, and then introduced the coaching staff to the players.
Every season, people leave and people join the club, whether they are players or coaches.
So Pan Yi doesn't look very special here, but when Allegri introduces him as the new assistant coach, some old players will look at him a few more times because of his young oriental face.
After the introduction, Allegri asked the coaches of the first team to take the players to do some simple warm-ups and training.
But he called Pan Yi and Tassotti aside:
"We will play a match soon."
Pan Yi and Tassotti looked at each other and said nothing.
Allegri continued:
"On the one hand, it is to quickly bring the players back to the game state from vacation state."
"On the other hand, of course the focus today is to examine the players who came for trial today, as well as our youth training players."
"If they can keep up with our first-team players, then there will be a possibility of signing them."
"You two each lead a team. As for how to divide the lineup, you can discuss it yourself. The game time should not be too long, each half should be 30 minutes."
After saying that, Allegri went to the training ground.
Tassotti looked at Pan Yi with a smile: "You choose someone first, so as not to say that I bully the newcomers."
Pan Yi nodded: "Okay. I asked for those four trial players and two youth training players. Of course, they must all be in my team."
Tassotti nodded too. This suggestion was not unexpected at all.
He said: "Among these six players, except for Aubameyang who has played in Ligue 1, the others have never played in a real top league, and some are even not professional players... Then you can pick the other five among our main players. Well, this way the strengths of both sides will be more balanced."
But what I didn't expect was that the next names that popped out of Pan Yi's mouth were all substitutes:
"I want Amelia as the goalkeeper."
"With the back four, I already have Van Dijk and De Sciglio, and I will add Mexes and Antonini."
"There are three midfielders. In addition to Kante who came for trial, I also want Gattuso and Enumarson."
"I don't need the forward, I'll bring my own."
Tassotti's eyes widened: "Are you serious? Such a lineup will be defeated by me."
Pan Yi smiled: "Then let's try it. How about we make a bet. If I lose, I will treat you to dinner today. And if you lose..."
Tassotti: "Shall I treat you to dinner?"
Pan Yi: "You invite my whole family to dinner!"
Tassotti: "..."
In fact, Pan Yi didn't deliberately choose from the substitutes.
Most of the people he selected were young, physical, and energetic players, so that he could more perfectly execute his 433 frontcourt pressing tactics.
The only exception is Gattuso, who is 33 years old and has passed the peak of his career.
But who would doubt the drive of a guy who looks like a butcher?
Boateng among the main players actually meets Pan Yi's tactical requirements. He is young, physically strong, and has comprehensive skills, but he is not very disciplined in tactics, so he was not selected.
Soon, Allegri announced the news of the team confrontation, and then Pan Yi and Tassotti took their teams aside to discuss tactics.
Tassotti's side:
Forwards: Ibrahimovic, Cassano.
Midfielder: Seedorf, Ambrosini, Boateng, Van Bommel.
Defenders: Zambrotta, Nesta, Yepes, Abate.
Goalkeeper: Abbiati.
Pan Yiyifang:
Forwards: Salah, Aubameyang, Mane.
Midfielder: Kante, Gattuso, Enumarson.
Defenders: Antonini, Van Dijk, Mexes, De Sciglio.
Goalkeeper: Amelia.
The "war" is about to begin!
