Chapter 50 You, Start Practicing Forward Penetration [Please Read and Vote! ]

After four consecutive wins, Milan is the most popular team in Serie A.

After all, with a bunch of opponents who are sometimes weak, Milan, who has won four consecutive wins, is naturally more "kingly".

After all, in Serie A, the team that wants to win the championship must be stable.

The champion team may not have the most wins, the most goals, or even the most goal difference.

But basically, they will have the most stable defense and the most stable situation.

With a stable defense and a little bit of offense, you can basically win the middle and lower teams stably.

In layman's terms, you must have a reliable and stable ability to bully weak teams.

Milan's current record illustrates this point very well.

No matter how long Milan defends against Cesare, it can get three points steadily, and the same is true against Lecce.

Inter Milan and Lazio have both overturned, but Milan can control the little pepper in two rounds, which is a skill.

After a wave of bullying and scoring points, and Napoli and Inter Milan's successive defeats against mid- and lower-level teams, Milan has expanded its league lead to eight points.

That's almost three wins.

It's no wonder that my uncle is so confident.

However, it's still too early for the end of the league, and Milan's formation and new style of play also have room for further improvement.

Therefore, on January 26, after Milan's free-signing Bayern midfielder Van Bommel reported to Milanello, Allegri began his new round of tactical transformation.

Before, when Pirlo was dragged back, Leon and Gattuso both needed to invest more energy on the defensive end to protect the midfield from being used by the opponent.

But now, if Van Bommel is assumed to be the starting midfielder, then Leon and Gattuso will have more spare energy to support the frontcourt players.

Of course, it is not realistic to directly make Van Bommel the starting main force, after all, Pirlo has proved that he is still very capable and has a considerable tactical role.

Allegri can't force Master Pirlo to freeze in this situation.

But Pirlo's physical fitness is not as good as before, so he always has to rotate.

So Allegri put forward new requirements for Li Ang in response to Pirlo's rotation and Van Bommel's delayed start.

"Ah? Let me practice forward insertion?"

On January 27, Li Ang, who was preparing to practice short passes on the training ground, looked incredible after hearing the new requirements of Uncle Jiong.

"Yes, it's you, start practicing forward insertion from today."

"Don't we have Kevin (Big Boateng)? His forward insertion effect is better than mine."

"When the time comes, you two will move forward together. He has long shots and you have headers. The threat of you two rushing together will be several times greater."

Seeing that Uncle Jiong didn't seem to be joking, Li Ang just felt a little bit painful.

It's not that he refuses to participate in the attack, but he has never participated in such an offensive mode before when he moves forward into the opponent's penalty area to score in the smooth progress of the game.

Can it really work?

With habitual doubts, Li Ang and Big Boateng cooperated awkwardly in the forward insertion tactics specially formulated by Allegri.

On the afternoon of January 28, Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Pato and other forwards also joined the tactical drills of the new offensive routine.

And Li Ang also thought he had figured out Allegri's true intention.

After all, the drills of the new offensive routine are still very simple.

Either Ibrahimovic and other forwards will provide cover, and he and Boateng will rush forward to attack the opponent's defense line at the moment when the wing players pass the ball.

Or he and Boateng will rush in first to disrupt the opponent's defense deployment, and then Ibrahimovic and others will serve as the second offensive echelon to fight the "harvest war".

"It's essentially the same as winning in chaos."

Li Ang consciously understood what Uncle Jon meant, and was a little relieved about this new offensive routine.

In the final analysis, he didn't bear any responsibility for scoring goals. At best, he was just a battering ram to help other offensive players attract defensive firepower.

As for whether to cover Ibrahimovic, Pato or Boateng to score, it was the same. He only needed to do his own covering work.

After several training sessions, Milan embarked on an away trip to southern Sicily to challenge Catania Club on January 30.

It was another relegation team hovering near the relegation zone, and there was not much tension in Milan.

Even the new aid Van Bommel looked much more relaxed after knowing the general strength of the opponent.

I don’t know if Uncle Jon is too satisfied with the recent training quality, or if Pirlo is really tired.

Van Bommel was directly arranged to start in this round of the league.

Li Ang was a little panicked.

Van Bommel started as a defensive midfielder, so he and Gattuso had to change their playing style slightly.

Gattuso went forward to help with the pass, but he had to go forward to attack with real swords and guns.

This training is training, and using it in the game is another matter. Li Ang felt that he could take it slow, but Allegri did not give him any time to adapt to the new role.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, with the whistle in the Massimino Stadium, the 22nd round of Serie A between Milan and Catania officially started.

Today, apart from using new signing Van Bommel as the starting defensive midfielder, Milan did not make any major personnel changes in other positions.

Ibrahimovic and Pato started as the double striker.

Boateng played as the attacking midfielder, with Leon and Gattuso on both sides of the midfield.

On the defensive line, Nesta, who returned from injury in the last round and performed well, continued to start with Silva, Antonini rotated, Zambrotta started as the left back today, and Abate as the right back.

The starting goalkeeper is still Abbiati.

As for Catania's starting players, there is not much to say, and most of them look "unfamiliar" to Li Ang.

Only Maxi Lopez and Gomez are still memorable to him.

The former became famous in the football world because his wife Wanda was abducted by Icardi, the "Acalanatha" of Inter Milan.

The latter is well known by fans because of his outstanding performance in Atlanta.

But now their strength is not too outstanding.

Catania is like most relegation teams, with constipated offense and a mess of defense. Anyway, it is a mediocre team.

At first glance, it is reasonable for Allegri to use such an opponent to practice new offensive and defensive routines.

Shortly after the start of the game, Li Ang gritted his teeth and followed Boateng to seize the opportunity and rush forward.

I have to say, it feels really good to have a defensive gate behind me to clean up my mess.

This was also the first time that Li Ang enjoyed such tactical treatment. After being restrained once or twice, he slowly let go and rushed forward, and the effect was really acceptable.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Li Ang found the opportunity to head the ball for the first time and completed his first shot of the game.

The ball was slightly off the mark under the confrontation, but Allegri off the court was quite satisfied.

Boateng swung a long shot, and Li Ang headed for a header. The offensive tactics of the midfielder are becoming more and more diverse~

"Who dares to say that I can't arrange an attack?"

Thinking of this, Allegri looked at Li Ang, who was slipping back to the midfield at this moment, to confront and entangle with Catania's offensive players.

"This kid can be used everywhere. No, I have to study it again"
