Chapter 36 Conte's Tactical Arrangements
On September 25, 2008, at 2:30 am Beijing time, the fourth round of Serie A Inter Milan vs. Piacenza will soon begin.
This time, the game time is no longer a prime time for Chinese fans, but it has not affected the ratings of the game at all.
CCTV5 started warming up the day before the game. As a club with many fans in China, Inter Milan, and Piacenza, who has Liu Feng, the attention of the two teams has been enough to make this early morning game very popular in China.
Countless football bars, fans gathered together to watch the football, and everyone looked like a look at the Chinese football genius who could perform when facing the stars of Inter Milan.
Although everyone knows that this is difficult, the expectations in my heart still exist.
In Italy, this game is also very popular. After all, this competition will determine who will take the top spot in the future.
However, the views of Italian experts and celebrities on this game are surprisingly consistent, that is, Piacenza loses.
Although Piacenza completed three consecutive victories as a promoted team, the opponents they faced did not fall into the category of a strong Serie A team.
Inter Milan is definitely a crushing level for this team that looks very immature.
Whether from the coach or to the players, in the eyes of those experts, except for Liu Feng, who has incredibly shown his superstar potential, Inter Milan is much better than Piacenza in every position.
Even Liu Feng, some people said that as long as Balotelli finds his brain back, he will definitely suppress Liu Feng steadily. After all, this genius who proved himself in Italy early is only eighteen years old now.
Compared to Liu Feng, who just showed up, he could not tell whether he was a flash in the pan or a real genius, Balotelli, who had the highest annual salary among his peers, gave everyone a sense of a stable and genius.
Therefore, compared with Chinese fans who support Liu Feng, 80% of Italian fans answered without hesitation in the interview that the winner of this game will definitely be Inter Milan.
Of course, except for the fans of Inter Milan's arch-rival AC Milan.
In this battle, because of the origins of Inzaghi and Piacenza, many AC Milan fans stood on Piacenza's side.
At the Meazza Stadium, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, except for more than 10,000 Piacenza fans who went with the team because of their close distance, the other positions were occupied by 50,000 Inter Milan fans and nearly 10,000 Milan fans who watched the fun.
According to statistics, this game is the most attended since the start of Serie A this season, and it can be called the attention of everyone.
When Piacenza and his players came to Milan City on the team bus, many Inter Milan fans had already entered the court.
As for Inter Milan, he finished the game early when he had the home advantage.
So when Piacenza entered the court to warm up, all they were left was the crazy whistle interference of Inter Milan fans.
“shit!”
Scapelli was quite upset by the booing after coming to the court.
Then he used several anti-aircraft guns in the shooting training arranged by Conte. This time, the fans of Inter Milan were naturally booing wildly, making him feel even more restless: "This interference is too terrible."
"It's indeed a bit scary." Naingran nodded with deep consent.
However, he still didn't say half of his words, that was, if he could fight against his opponents as the owner of this stadium, it would definitely be a very interesting thing.
The players of Piacenza were more or less affected. Even Flocari, who had played many games in this stadium called Meaca and San Siro, could not suppress his heartbeat when he came here again.
The only thing that is not affected may be that the team has seen countless big scenes, and Liu Feng, who always has a big heart and a pleasing attribute.
Looking at Liu Feng who had been trained silently according to the coach's arrangement after coming to Meiacha, the players did not see any tension on his face.
On the contrary, when he passed the ball over Maurantanho's hand in succession in shooting training, his smile seemed quite excited.
“Feng is in good condition.”
Looking at Liu Feng's warm-up condition on the sidelines, Conte nodded with satisfaction. As long as Liu Feng is not in trouble, Piacenza will at least have the power to fight.
Conte, who has played in a giants, knows that even the world's top team is not omniscient and omnipotent. As long as Liu Feng is in good condition, he believes that this Chinese player can break through the goal of any team.
"Okay! The guys, we're back to the locker room."
After striking the field, Conte organized the team members to walk back.
Before the game begins, he needs to emphasize his tactics again. Conte cannot make any mistakes when facing an opponent like Mourinho, after all, his opponent is a top coach who has won the Champions League.
Mourinho's main role in the 4312 regular formation after accepting Inter Milan.
The head coach, known as the madman, favorite way to play football is to fight back. In the continuous training, Mourinho almost turned this simple but complex tactic into something he could pick up.
Unlike the defense of all players, Mourinho's team is sometimes like a poisonous snake. Never be confused by his stable performance, because he can give you a fatal blow at any time.
"According to the established tactics, I need you to press the attack as much as possible at the opening."
Conte pointed to the tactical arrangements for time-dividing periods in the locker room. Inter Milan's terrifying front line solved the only problem of Mourinho's lack of attack power when defending and counterattacking, which made things even more difficult.
However, after Conte observed the videos of these three Inter Milan games, he found a problem, that is, Mourinho's team always has to be slower when entering the state.
If your team wants to score, they must seize the time at the beginning of the two halfs.
At the beginning of five to ten minutes, as long as Piacenza can seize the opportunity to get a goal, the lagging Inter Milan will have to come out, and the most difficult defensive counterattack will be defeated without any attack.
After Inter Milan pressed out, Conte also made corresponding arrangements. According to the regular defensive arrangements, he was not confident that the team's defense line would block Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, so once he took the lead, he was ready to set up a bus.
After all, it is not embarrassing to deal with a team like Piacenza to play a bus, and it is better than being beaten by the opponent.
...
In the locker room, as Conte continued to unfold, the players once again gained a deep understanding of the head coach's tactics and had a rough understanding of how to play this game.
Chapter completed!
