"I think we should continue to use the main framework of last season, which is safer." Tassotti said.

He believes that the loss to Guoan was just an accident because Brazil's three players were unfamiliar with the team after returning from the America's Cup.

But as long as you use the remaining few days to strengthen training and running-in, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Although Pan Yi's tactical play performed well in training and warm-up, it has not been tested in actual combat.

Especially in a final like the Super Cup, where the outcome is determined, we cannot take such a risk.

Allegri also had similar doubts.

He has been hesitant to officially use Pan Yi's tactics, but he also doubts the performance of this style of play when facing a strong team like Inter Milan.

"Whether we change our tactics or not is another matter, but if you still believe in Pato and Robinho and don't give newcomers a chance, I don't think we can beat Inter Milan."

Pan Yi gave the conclusion directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Tassotti frowned and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Pan Yi had already picked up the tactical board and set it up:

"Let's first take a look at their performance in this America's Cup."

"The Brazilian team also uses a three-forward formation, with Neymar, Pato and Robinho acting as the three arrows."

"But in the four matches played by the Brazilian team, Robinho scored no goals and Pato only scored two goals - both of which were scored against the underdog Ecuador."

"The weak front also caused the Brazilian team to fail in the quarterfinals, creating their worst record in the Copa America in recent years."

Tassotti held his chin: "Their state... does seem to be a bit problematic. But we still have time to adjust, don't we?"

"There is no time." Pan Yi looked at Allegri again, "The decline in their condition is not a recent thing, nor can it change in a few days."

Although in Pan Yi's past life memory, AC Milan finally won the Italian Super Cup, but it relied on the brave Ibrahimovic and Boateng, and had little to do with the Brazilian twin stars.

This is why he can give such a clear answer.

Besides, wouldn't it be nice to replace these two undisciplined guys with Mane and Salah?

Allegri nodded slightly and asked Pan Yi: "I understand your idea, which is to win them down. But, are you sure that you can suppress Inter Milan's offense with the new players you just signed?" "

"This is about my targeted tactics." Pan Yi said, replacing the logo representing the Brazilian team on the tactical board with the names of Inter Milan players.

"Offensively, my style of play remains the same. But defensively, when facing a team like Inter Milan, you must take care of their key players."

Pan Yi's tactical pen pointed at the middle position on the board:

"Sneijder. It's very important to control him. If you give him enough time to think, if he can pass the ball comfortably to our back, then he will control the rhythm of the game."

"And when he has the rhythm of the game, the entire Inter Milan team can attack us from various directions and control the initiative of the game."

"Especially Eto'o in the frontcourt. If he can comfortably receive the through ball from Sneijder, we will be in big trouble."

Allegri and Tassotti both nodded in agreement.

Of course they know the two most threatening people in Inter Milan.

"So, we absolutely cannot allow Sneijder the space and time to think and pass the ball."

"Kante's role can come into play at this time. He always appears at the right time and in the right place, and cooperates with the frontcourt staff to press, which can limit Sneijder's performance to the maximum extent."

"For example," Pan Yi moved a chess piece on the tactical list, "when Sneijder receives the ball here, Salah will press their center back Samuel from the outside, cutting the court to seek breakthroughs. ball."

"At this time Sneijder may seek to pass to the full-back Zanetti. At this time, Kante will come to Sneijder's position and press Sneijder together with the central midfielder."

"At the same time, our left winger Mane will also move himself into the connecting position between Sneijder and Zanetti, thus forcing Sneijder to pass back to the goalkeeper."

"Then, Kanter will appear here." Pan Yi pointed to the position in front of Inter Milan's goal. "He is everywhere on the court, and he is even the decider of the entire game."

"When people talk about compactness in pressing players, I think Kante is the best example. He is always ready to defend and fill holes in the formation at any time."

"Of course this also requires the cooperation of other players, especially the wingers. Obviously - I have mentioned this point before - with the current state and tactical execution of Pato and Robinho, they cannot do it. of."

"Also, we must pay attention to the connection between Sneijder, Stankovic and Motta..."

Listening, Allegri looked at Tassotti:

"I think what Pan Yi said makes sense, what do you think, Tassotti?"

Tassotti could only nod.

He could see that Allegri was now more inclined to use Pan Yi's plan, but he just needed an assist.

Of course, more importantly, he also feels that Pan Yi's targeted tactics should be very effective against Inter Milan.

Controlling Sneijder will control Inter Milan's offense, everyone knows this.

But if you really want to do it, you need more detailed tactical arrangements like Pan Yi.

"Also, Ibrahimovic was injured in the last game. I hope Aubameyang can replace him in this game." Pan Yi added.

Tassotti hesitated: "But Ibrahimovic said he was only slightly injured, and a lion will not stop hunting its prey just because of a slight injury."

"Ibrahimovic will be 30 years old soon," Pan Yi said. "Using him carefully so that he can play in more key games may be more important to us."

AC Milan needs to fight on three fronts this year. In this long season, minimizing player injuries is also the top priority.

There are many teams with a strong starting lineup that could have achieved good results, but after suffering injuries to core players, their results plummeted.

In the history of football, there are countless such examples. As far away as the Seven Sisters era of Serie A, Fiorentina injured Batistuta, and "more recently" Liverpool injured Van Dijk.

Although Ibrahimovic has excellent physical fitness and can even play in good condition until he is 40 years old in the future, he still suffered several serious injuries during this period, which led to a decline in attendance and condition.

Therefore, Pan Yi would like to suggest Allegri try to rotate players as much as possible and not let the players, especially the veteran players, be too tired, which will increase the risk of injuries.

"If Ibrahimovic doesn't play..." Allegri thought for a moment, "it will be difficult for our center to play its fulcrum role."

Pan Yi was already prepared for this. He pointed to the tactical board again: "I will let Aubameyang retreat deeper. This can create more space and use his fast speed to give Inter Milan a fatal Raid! As for the fulcrum, Inter Milan will definitely send people to guard Ibrahimovic, but we do the opposite and do not set up this fulcrum, leaving them at a loss. The specific method of play is like this..."

After listening to Pan Yi's always confident explanation, Allegri was finally convinced.

It seems that everything about this game is under Pan Yi's control.

Then, just follow Pan Yi’s method and give it a try!

Anyway, this is just a Super Cup. Milan can afford to lose, and so can Allegri!
