In the next few days, the AC Milan team's tactical training will be carried out according to Pan Yi's arrangements.
During this period, Pan Yi and Allegri also went to talk to Ibrahimovic.
Of course it was about benching him in the Super Bowl.
After all, Ibrahimovic is the core and number one star of the team, and coupled with his straightforward character, it is definitely better to talk to him about such a matter than to hide it.
To Pan Yi's surprise, Ibrahimovic readily accepted the proposal.
After all, he is Da Fengxian!
The Swedish God Tower is still very sensible, and its professionalism is second to none.
Of course, Ibken did this partly because he did have some slight injuries and he would not be fully recovered on the day of the game, which would still affect his condition.
On the other hand, the tactics explained by Pan Yi made Ibrahimovic feel right. He also felt that the new tactics could restrain Inter Milan's midfield operation.
At the same time, this is also a sign that Pan Yi is increasingly recognized by the players in the team.
So, once Ibrahimovic is dealt with, the next thing will be easier to handle.
On Saturday, August 6, the day of the game, the team conducted the final adaptive training, and Allegri also announced the starting lineup for the evening.
This lineup surprised many people.
Salah, Mane, Van Dijk, Kante... these young new players all started.
You know, except for the opportunity to start in the first game of the preseason, there is no chance after that.
Especially after Pato, Robinho, and Thiago Silva returned to the team, they themselves found it more difficult to play the main role.
Especially Aubameyang.
His current direct competitor is Ibrahimovic, the biggest name in the team and the highest salary.
Ibrahimovic, who is as strong as a lion, has never been able to get out of the firing line despite minor injuries. He will still try his best in a game like this.
So for Aubameyang, fighting for a main position will obviously be more difficult than for others.
Therefore, when he heard that he was going to start, he was stunned.
It took him dozens of seconds to react, and he looked at his teammates left and right, trying to figure out if he had heard wrong?
Until Allegri pulled Aubameyang aside for individual guidance: "In tonight's game, pay attention to retreating and opening up space when attacking. When defending, you must press Samuel immediately. Don't let him pass the ball comfortably..."
At this moment, Aubameyang woke up from a dream and said excitedly: "Thank you coach for trusting me! I will definitely perform well today! I will try my best to attack and defend!"
Allegri smiled and patted Aubameyang on the head: "It's good, but you can't be too conceited. It's not good to take the card too early."
Allegri did not specifically mention who proposed this lineup, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this set of 433 was obviously written by Pan Yi.
It's just that as a club, the coaching staff is a whole. No matter which coach's opinion dominates a certain game, the decision that is ultimately presented to the players must be the decision of the entire coaching staff.
In this way, no matter whether you win or lose, the credit or blame will not be placed on a specific coach.
For the outside world, since it is the head coach who ultimately makes the decision, the focus is naturally on Allegri. Pan Yi can also test the tactics he learned from the system courses without pressure, which can be regarded as a breakthrough. Take advantage.
After the training, Pan Yi called the young players together to give him a lecture and encourage them, and asked them to shout together to boost their morale:
"Tonight is your first Super Cup and also your first Milan Derby. You must have confidence and you must win!"
"Want to win!"
"Inter Milan has nothing to fear. No matter what opponent we face, we will fight hard!"
"Fight!"
"You have to prove to everyone that you are worthy of starting. You must not admit defeat!"
"Admit defeat!"
…
8pm sharp.
The Bird's Nest Stadium was packed, and countless fanatical Milan fans made the atmosphere of the stadium as good as a World Cup final.
Inter Milan head coach Gasperini, the future head coach who will achieve great success in Atlanta, has always advocated offense.
He also arranged an offensive-oriented 451 formation today:
Forward: Eto'o.
Midfielder: Sneijder, Stankovic, Motta, Alvarez, Obi.
Defenders: Zanetti, Samuel, Chivu, Ranocchia.
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
AC Milan has a 433 formation dominated by young players:
Forwards: Mane, Aubameyang, Salah.
Midfielder: Kante, Gattuso, Boateng.
Defenders: De Sciglio, Van Dijk, Thiago Silva, Abate.
Goalkeeper: Abbiati.
After seeing the starting lineups of both sides, CCTV5 commentator Duan Xuan was immediately surprised and said:
"There is nothing special about Inter Milan's lineup today, but AC Milan actually has so many young players?"
Today’s guest commentator is Zhang Lu, who has been commentating on Serie A all year round.
He also said:
"It's indeed a bit surprising. This lineup is closer to the starting lineup when Milan played against Factory Suzhou, but today they were put directly on the Super Cup stage."
Duan Xuan: "Milan were very bold today with so many young substitute players. Don't they want to win? I always feel that the last game against Guoan was Milan's real main lineup."
Zhang Lu: "Perhaps it was because of the loss to Guoan that Milan made such an adjustment today? Or was it to confuse the opponent in the last game? This may not be known until the game starts."
Duan Xuan: "Is there a possibility that it was Pan Yi, our assistant coach in Longguo, who prompted Milan to make changes? When we played against Hengtai, Pan Yi was the acting head coach, and he used this lineup, right?"
Zhang Lu: "Hehe..."
The commentator was making wild guesses, and Inter Milan coach Gasperini was also a little confused.
What's happening here?
Who are the three people on AC Milan's forward line?
Pato and Robinho are not on the board, not even Ibrahimovic is on the board!
Who is that little black guy in the midfield who is less than 1.7 meters tall?
AC Milan actually let such a young man occupy such an important position as a defensive midfielder!
Are there times when Allegri doesn't act according to common sense?
This is not at all in line with Gasperini's impression of Allegri.
After all, Allegri is famous for not liking rotation in official games and sticking to one main lineup.
As long as no one is seriously injured, he won't make much adjustments to the lineup.
Therefore, Gasperini also made targeted arrangements for Allegri's main lineup before the game, such as how to keep an eye on Ibrahimovic, how to prevent Pato's breakthrough, and how to block Van Bommel's passing line...
But now that the opponent's lineup is out, it feels like it's all in vain!
No one is here, how can you guard against him?
And while the Inter Milan coaches and players were looking confused, a whistle sounded from the referee's mouth.
The 2011 Italian Super Cup has begun!
