AC Milan has only lost 1 game in Serie A so far this season, which is the home loss to Udinese.

In Xiao Yu's previous life, AC Milan only lost 2 games in the league this season. It should be said that the performance was quite good. It is easy to give people the impression that AC Milan is strong and stable, but in fact, AC Milan It is strong, but not stable enough.

Ancelotti said many times when accepting the media that Pirlo is the core of this AC Milan team. He put Pirlo who was originally playing as a midfielder and became a midfielder. This can definitely be regarded as Ancelo One of the most successful masterpieces of coaching AC Milan in the past few years, he defined a brand new midfielder type of player.

However, as the core player of a top giants, the 24-year-old Pirlo is not stable enough. This is directly reflected in the tactical system of AC Milan with him as the core. When it fell into a downturn, or was heavily marked by the opponent, then AC Milan began to die down.

In the scouting report provided by Boyas to Mourinho, the opinion given to AC Milan is that this team has a group of stars with outstanding personal abilities, Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Rui Costa, Seedorf, Pirlo, Nesta and Dida.

AC Milan has relied on Inzaghi, Shevchenko and Dida for several games this season, so AC Milan fans have nicknamed these three players Super Filippo, Sheva goal and San Dida, it can be seen that these three players are in excellent condition.

But in a long season, no matter how good the players are, there will definitely be ups and downs. Even if there is no ups and downs, once the opponent sees through AC Milan's tactics and focuses on pinching these players, then AC Milan will have nothing to do. So This is the case of Udinese's away victory over AC Milan.

Some people may say, cut, this is just a small probability event, but whether it is on the football field or in the real world, problems are often reflected in small probability events!

Mourinho is a very careful person, he will never make a point of view because of a game, but in the AC Milan video he has seen, many games reflect this feature, so he believes Yes, and make arrangements for the surname in training.

In addition to AC Milan's home defeat to Udinese, another game that Mourinho paid special attention to was Parma's 0-0 draw with AC Milan. This is the only AC Milan so far this season. A game with zero seals.

But anyone who has watched this game will know that AC Milan has exposed their other most fatal shortcoming in this game, that is slowness!

It's not that the players are slow to warm up, but that the players are slow to enter the game.

In this 0:0 game, Parma almost beat AC Milan without temper in the first 25 minutes and created a lot of opportunities. Milan have already conceded the ball.

Against Ancona, against Inter Milan, against Bologna, against Perugia, against Lecce... If you want to count, AC Milan does not know how many games this season are played in the second half.

Of course, for AC Milan to perform so well this season, they must have their strengths. In addition to the personal ability of the stars, they also have their defensive organization. The introduction of Cafu and Pancaro, plus Maldini With Nesta, Gattuso is also becoming more mature and sophisticated, making AC Milan's defensive system able to prevent the opponent from scoring when it is slow.

Therefore, in another piece of data attributed by Boyas, AC Milan is very bad at playing against the wind, so after they were scored by Udinese in the opening 2 minutes, they immediately fell into a panic, which led to the first Conceded the goal again in the 52nd minute, and it was not until the 61st minute that Cafu pulled a goal back.

Unstable state, over-reliance on stars, lack of integrity, slow heat, not good at playing against the wind,

This is the biggest sticking point of AC Milan this season. However, it can be seen from these that AC Milan still has a lot of room for improvement.

………………… As a guest at the San Siro Stadium, Mourinho’s tactics are very clear, that is, based on defense.

This is not difficult to see from the starters he arranged for this game.

The forwards are Drogba and Palacio, the attacking midfielders are Kaka, the three defensive midfielders are Essien and De Rossi, Beckham is in the middle, and the defense line from left to right is Evra, Vidic, Ke Tees and Kolo Toure, the goalkeeper is Petr Cech.

AC Milan's formation is still the 442 double midfielder tactics, and Ancelotti has not yet implemented the later Christmas tree formation.

Goalkeeper Dida, the defense line from left to right is Pancaro, Maldini, Nesta and Cafu, the midfielders are Pirlo, Gattuso, Rui Costa and Seedorf, the double forwards are Shevchenko and Inzaghi, this lineup is also the main lineup of AC Milan this season.

It is not difficult to see from the lineup that AC Milan is very dissatisfied with being eliminated from the Champions League. They are currently performing well in Serie A and hope to gain something in the UEFA Cup. After all, they lost the Toyota Cup, so they have to make up for it, right?

………………… “They want to win! But we want to win more than them, so from the beginning of the game, we have to be anti-customer and take the initiative, Rodrygo, you have to run more on the two sides , Their defense is very old, but rich in experience, we have to use our abundant physical fitness to mobilize their defense!"

Mourinho introduced the team's tactics in the locker room.

"Didier, drop back more often, and give Ricardo the assault task. Your task is to overwhelm AC Milan's defense. If you can score goals, you will score goals. If you can't score goals, you will create opportunities for your teammates. Understand?"

Drogba nodded solemnly.

Mourinho looked at Kaka beside him, didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder heavily.

The Brazilian teenager's performance this season is almost impeccable. He has scored 14 goals in the Premier League. He is one of the best players in the Premier League this season. His scoring rate is even higher than Manchester United's Scholes a cut.

Of course, Kaka also has his shortcomings, that is, as an assault midfielder, his ability to play the ball needs to be strengthened, especially in the last pass. After all, Mourinho arranged him in this position because he hoped that he would Be able to play for teammates, and at the same time be able to break through and go forward.

"Guys, we lost to AC Milan in the UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of the season. That game was a disgraceful defeat. At that time, I told myself that one day, I must pay this debt. Get it back!"

Mourinho said with clenched fists and gritted teeth.

The players have also experienced that defeat, and they all showed the raging anger of revenge.

"Today, we finally got the chance. I am very eager to conquer AC Milan at San Siro, but this is AC Milan's home court. We are facing the most powerful team in Europe. We have done a lot of preparations. Kung fu, we have formulated the most perfect strategy possible, but all of these, on the court, have no effect!"

"In this 90 minutes, I can only rely on you, but we only have 25 minutes, in these 25 minutes, we have to attack aggressively, tear apart AC Milan's defense, try to score goals, regardless of 25 minutes Whatever the final result, we all have to switch to defense, understand?"

"Understood, sir!" The players replied in unison.

As soon as Mourinho waved his hand, the players immediately gathered around. Everyone got together, put their hands together, and shouted [ ] in unison, and then the players walked out of the locker room one after another.

………………… When the referee blew the whistle to start the game, AC Milan kicked off first.

After a few passes, Pirlo took the ball in the backcourt, but as soon as he touched the ball, Kaka, who came out of a diagonal stab, squeezed him to the ground, grabbed the ball and passed it to the front, but the referee But Kaka indicated a foul.

Kaka reached out and pulled Pirlo to the bottom, and smiled at him friendly. The latter was a little depressed, and passed the ball hastily to the front, but Vidic overwhelmed Shevchenko and gave the ball to the front. Nearby De Rossi.

The ball came to Beckham's feet, I saw him suddenly speed up, and before Gattuso grabbed the ball, he handed the ball to Kaka who retreated to respond, Kaka passed it to Drogba, Drogba leaned on Marti Ni, wanted to pass to Palacio, who was running in an air cut, but was intercepted by Nesta in advance.

In order to improve the success rate, Mourinho asked the players to play more on the ground when attacking.

Although the first attack failed to achieve results, the next wave of attacks soon came again.

"After the opening game, they played obviously more active and proactive. They played very active in the center and on the side of AC Milan's backcourt. Palacio, Drogba and Kaka cooperated very well in the frontcourt, frequently creating Opportunity, but helplessly, AC Milan's defensive players are very experienced, especially Nesta, who made several early interceptions in place and resolved the crisis in time!"

Seeing that in the first few minutes, the attack of the three frontcourt players failed to achieve much effect, Beckham immediately increased the number of forward penetrations, frequently ran to the frontcourt to respond, and one of them had a through ball from Ness Ta and Cafu passed through, Drogba turned around and hit the goal but missed the spot.

But tasted the sweetness and immediately made a comeback. Palacio, who was cruising on the sides of AC Milan, frequently ran out of space, causing a lot of trouble for AC Milan's defense. One of the shots was saved by Dida. In another pass, under the interference of Nesta, Drogba's header went awry.

"Palacio was very active, got another chance to get the ball in front of the penalty area, passed it to the middle, Drogba made a pick, Kaka, who was inserted in the back row, stopped the ball with his chest, made a pick, picked and returned to the defense Gattuso hit the goal, Cafu used his body to block Kaka's shot from the bottom line, this is the most threatening shot so far in the first half!"

Beckham came to the corner. At this time, Curtis, Vidic, Drogba and other players with excellent header ability were piled up in the penalty area. Beckham made a gesture, but did not The ball passed into the penalty area, but it was pushed to Palacio who responded nearby, and the latter kicked in a cross.

Curtis, who was pretending to retreat before, suddenly went forward, grabbed the front point, headed the goal, the ball hit the post, and bounced off the baseline! Sister-in-law {half-/-float=(.*)+sheng-red rebels

"It's a pity that since the beginning, they have been very active and have created fatal threats several times, but AC Milan's defensive players have also performed very hard and resolved the crisis time and time again. However, if AC Milan does not make adjustments, it will still be Under the current situation, sooner or later they will capture their goal."

Dida took the goal kick and passed it short to Cafu on the right, who was handed over to Pirlo.

Kaka, who received Mourinho's key instructions, has always been cruising around Pirlo. When Pirlo received the ball, he immediately posted it to prevent him from taking the ball easily. Beckham, Essien and De Rossi three People also surrounded Pirlo in all directions.

Faced with the opponent's siege, Pirlo chose to be assigned to the wing and handed it over to Pan Carlo. AC Milan was forced to reorganize.

After Mourinho on the sidelines saw AC Milan start to stabilize their position consciously, he looked at the time and it was already 29 minutes.

In this half hour, 12 shots were made. Although only 5 shots were on target, 4 of them almost broke the goal, but they failed to score in the end.

Seeing that AC Milan stabilized its position, Mourinho began to let the players retract slightly to keep the formation compact. This adjustment was also regarded by the players as a signal to stop the active attack!
