Chapter 6 Capello Calculation
At home, AC Milan coach Fabio Capello presented his main team "blue-collar striker" massaro at the front to attract the attention of the other side, and behind him lurked two top killers, dejan savicevic and Marco Simone; The midfield and backcourt are still along the golden defense line that has won the championship in Europe over the years. Except for the young panucci who replaced the aging Tassotti, Paolo Maldini, baresi, costacurta, desailly, albertini and Donadoni are all famous players.
Sitting in the box watching Zhuangge, I have to admit that although the average age of Milan is not small now, most of the players in the team are still at the peak of their careers. The whole team is balanced in offense and defense, calm and sophisticated, and stars such as gullit and Stefano Eranio are still sitting on the bench. It seems that most of the young players in this game are Florence. If you want to win, you have to make more efforts …
Look at Florence coach Ranieri, who also sent his own strongest main players. Whether batistuta’s height and impact or filippo inzaghi’s grabbing shot can bring trouble to Milan’s defense; Djorkaeff, effenberg, crippa and Di Biagio made their debut in the midfield. From the perspective of personal strength, the Fiorentina midfielder was also completely unstoppable. In terms of defence, Lana, Lala, Filicano and Lala birindelli are left and right. Since joining Florence, his former teammates have been looking for a tacit understanding with his central defender Felicano. Their performance in the game will determine the fate of Florence.
After the game, Milan got the ball quickly. After a quick kick in the midfield, the Fiorentina player just got a chance to throw the ball into the penalty area by albertini. At this time, Marco Simone appeared behind Felicano like a ghost and directly pushed the ball to the far corner of the goal after receiving it …
Fiorentina’s starting goalkeeper is still toldo, a goalkeeper who grew up from Milan’s youth team. He is very excited to face the old owner. In the face of Simone’s shot, toldo, the arm length, decisively fell to the ground and pressed the ball firmly with his hands.
Seeing that the team didn’t gain anything in the sneak attack just now, Milan coach Capello waved his hand and the Milan players’ department quickly returned to the square half.
"It seems that Milan players are greatly influenced by the World Cup in the United States," Karin said to Zhuang Ge, who nodded in agreement.
If Florence is facing last season’s Milan at this time, I am afraid that massaro, Simone and others will give interference from toldo and launch a forced grab at half-time in Florence to disrupt the opponent’s game rhythm. If the counter-grab is successful, it will immediately form a single knife.
But now this Milan team has not done this, and Zhuang Ge doesn’t think that Florence will be strong enough for Capello to choose to defend it. Considering that Sacchi "prefers" Milan’s starting game, most players such as Maldini and baresi have participated in this summer’s World Cup in the United States.
A conclusion is drawn from comprehensive consideration that these players in Milan have not fully recovered their physical fitness, so coach Fabio Capello decisively gave up Milan’s dominance of European frontcourt in recent years and turned to save players’ physical fitness for half-court defense.
The sneak attack just now was to make Florence players dare not attack too much in the later period. Of course, it would be more perfect for Capello and Milan if they could score a goal
In that case, Capello can exercise his moral integrity and make him take care of the family-1 tactics.
"Coach Capello is really wily." I couldn’t help sighing when I figured out this section of Zhuang Ge.
"Don’t do a good job of feeding Tony’s ambition to destroy himself." Karin poked her elbow secretly, and the latter immediately stopped the topic knowingly.
After all, it’s in someone else’s Milan territory now. If I say anything here that is dissatisfied with the team, it is estimated that this person who is also watching the game will immediately broadcast his words and disturb the morale of the army.
Just thinking is just a moment. Zhuang Ge refocused his attention on the live video and just saw toldo kick the ball to the nearest lesbian.
Lala obviously has been trained by the coaching staff in the past two months since joining Florence. He didn’t take the ball too much, but quickly distributed it to Lana on the left side of the court.
Lana used to press for assists when he was in Sampdoria. He was quickly integrated into Florence’s tactical body. Ranieri told Lana to attack and suppress panucci before the game. Therefore, Lana immediately accelerated the sprint when there were no Milan players around him after receiving the ball.
I have to say that Maldini has suppressed a large number of equally outstanding Italian left-backs, such as those who have left Pesoto in Florence, those who are now playing in Benarivo in Parma, and those who are now playing Lana (of course, the worst thing is the children’s shoes of Coco in the same club as Maldini).
Although Lana has long been associated with the national team because of Maldini’s presence, his strength is still first-class in Europe, otherwise he could not play in Sampdoria for that long.
Milan players didn’t rush to snatch until Lana crossed the center line with the ball, but massaro, who was closest to him, rushed up. How could Lana be so easily intercepted by the other side? A simple acceleration makes veteran massaro eat dust behind him.
As soon as desailly and albertini saw that the situation was not right, they immediately acted according to the arranged division of labor. The French people with first-class physical fitness continued to sit in the middle of the road, and the defensive activities were wide-ranging, while albertini and panucci went to steal the Lanna ball together.
Lana saw that there were two people around and didn’t go on. He stopped the ball and immediately gave it back to effenberg, who met himself before.
And after effenberg took two steps, he gave the ball to crippa without waiting for Milan players to surround himself …
If someone looks down at the whole stadium from the stands, it can be clearly seen that when a Florence player gets the ball, there will be at least three teammates around him to let him play the ball. This frequent ball running is one of the achievements that Florence young people have trained in a year! This way of cooperation is one of the magic weapons for Florence to lead the world football in the future!
Chapter 69 World Cup nightmare
The game has been going on for 2 minutes. Although both Milan and Fiorentina players are looking for opportunities to score goals and are constantly trying, they have failed to break the other team’s goal.
Compared with the Milan players, the Fiorentina players were obviously out of shape after playing a good game for a few minutes, except for desailly, panucci, Rossi and Marco Simone who didn’t participate in the World Cup. Even the old captain baresi, who is usually the most stable, made several mistakes.
I’m afraid Milan would have been scored by Fiorentina five minutes ago if Rossi hadn’t played well in high and low gears.
Capello looked full of energy on the sidelines, but in fact, the Milan players were frowning. He did not expect that this World Cup in the United States would have such a far-reaching impact on the Milan players.
At the beginning of summer training, Capello returned to the team in a low state. The crux lies in the serious lack of physical preparation of many players, and the fact that these players gradually faded their desire for honor after winning a series of championships …
Proud and confident of these thorny issues, Capello has tried his best to bear these difficult departments for the first time in his coaching career.
Just when he found that the problem was gradually brought under his control and everything was on the right track, Capello was surprised to find that the problem in Milan now seems to be far from as simple as he imagined …
From the summer training for more than a month, the biggest feature of Milan players is their ups and downs in opponents’ matches. The performance of the stadium is not the focus of a rational coach like Capello, but if a team’s performance is ups and downs, and the players’ competitive state is inversely proportional, Capello can’t help but pay special attention.
Imagine if a team can win inexplicably when its opponent is in bad shape, then even a little bit of dedication can’t really be happy, because this situation is completely out of the control of the coach-if the game can be controlled by "imaginary" things such as good luck and bad luck, what do the coaches do when they are exhausted in the training ground and often fidgety on the sidelines? Just entrust it directly to luck!
Football is round, but the court is square! As coach lobanovski said, anything can happen in the football field, but competitive sports will have its own rules to follow. What the coach has to do is to foresee most of the situations that will happen on the football field and make preparations before.
When Milan beat Inter Milan next door in the warm-up match and then lost to cremona strangely, the suspense of winning or losing the game became more and more unpredictable. When it happened to Milan again and again, AC Milan, which has always been "stable" in recent years, was finally branded "abnormal" by its coach Capello.
Surprise, anxiety, double oppression and responsibility broke out. Capello vaguely felt that Milan players were "unusual" through the "instability" of the team
By chance, he finally found out the crux of this "unusual" player, which is a "curse" imposed on many main Milan players, a strange thing called "World Cup nightmare"
The nightmare of the World Cup is sympathetic to this torture method that is not purely psychological or will. Capello seems to have some ability to deal with this kind of problems. Even if he exerts some external forces in a targeted manner, it is just better than whether the so-called "curse" always has a specific target and really depends on the "heart" strength of the parties.
Fabio Capello, an outsider, has no clear idea about the "World Cup nightmare" that commonly happens to Milan players who represent the Italian national team in the World Cup. Capello learned about it by accident, thanks to a secret conversation with his old captain baresi.
Because Capello has been in charge of Milan for three years and respected others as "predecessors" of baresi (Capello played for Milan from 1976 to 19), the secret conversation between the two sides was "serious". Capello said, "Who would you like to partner with as a central defender?" Let the old captain feel this room instantly, and it will be very serious, and the atmosphere will be even heavier.
Baresi, who has been captain of both Milan and Italy, certainly knows what the unsmiling and dignified coach in front of him means.
It’s not that he can’t make a choice-it’s the peak confrontation like Barcelona in the European Champions Cup final in May this year; Still in the World Cup in the United States, paolo maldini did a very good job in fulfilling the duties of "temporary" central defender on the day when he was injured, but now there are two central defenders in the team-himself and Billy costacurta.
Capello’s question about baresi means that he is very dissatisfied with costacurta’s frequent low-level mistakes in the warm-up match. He has planned to break up the pair of "best central defenders" praised by the European media.
Baresi’s unwillingness to actively "destroy" the golden combination with costacurta is mainly due to baresi’s confidence in his central defender costacurta’s ability, and of course costacurta’s own "mentoring" status is indispensable.
It is for this reason that Capello’s suggestion of "replacing costacurta" to baresi was firmly "rejected" by Captain baresi. When Capello asked baresi why he made such a choice, Captain Ba inevitably came to what Capello knew as the "World Cup nightmare"-the "World Cup nightmare" of all Milan players who participated in the World Cup final.
Maybe it’s too long since the football player Capello has been away from the pitch, so that Capello suddenly finds himself unfamiliar with some new things. baresi’s narrative makes him have to re-perceive the world behind the pitch.
He thought he was "familiar" with the World Cup final in the United States (a top Italian coach watched all the classic game videos as their most basic homework), which left such a deep psychological shadow in the hearts of Italian players. This is not simply a continuation of the "penalty shoot-out" and "fate" from the 199 World Cup in Italy. Nor did it happen to a few people such as massaro and baresi, who were "afraid of penalty kicks" (after that final, many Milan players who participated in the World Cup finals refused to take the penalty kick). Every detail of the decisive battle at the Rose Bowl Stadium became like a curse, and the Azzurri players were unforgettable and could not shake the haze.
The terrible thing about the "curse" is not that everything is unbearable, but that the details that penetrate through the bones have been "marked" by acquaintances in the new game, and sometimes even if a player with such a "nightmare mark" appears on the scene for a second, it will be very fatal, and it will be enough to take away the feeling that a team deserves to win.
Capello is the lucky head coach, who can make the old captain baresi "confess" to himself; He is also unfortunate because the same coach soon witnessed costacurta being possessed by this "World Cup nightmare" at Milan’s San Siro Stadium …
