After arriving in Valencia, he attended the pre-match press conference and said, "Valencia is a strong team. We must take the football field seriously. Anything is possible. We can’t be proud and underestimate our enemies."
But that’s true, but the actual team mentality is beyond his control
The Italian media are optimistic.
"We were three goals ahead in the first leg, and now AC Milan can defend and counter Valencia from the ground … I have great confidence in AC Milan’s defensive counter-attack. Honestly, I don’t despise Valencia, but football is a very realistic sport. I can’t think of any possible reversal in Valencia …"
Gazzetta dello Sport said this when analyzing this game.
"… Valencia will face the most powerful Milan in the 21st century in Mestalla! This team is making great strides in the league and the Champions League, and they will be crushed by love if they are stopped! Both Rome and Juventus have tasted this, and now it’s Europe’s turn! "
"… I don’t think Valencia strikers have the ability to break through Milan, the world’s best defense line, and experienced and superb defenders such as Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Starr and Cafu will seal Valencia from shooting once! Kaka and Sepcenko will bring great threat to Valencia’s goal if they are at home in the counterattack! "
The whole Italian media seemed relaxed.
No one believes Valencia can make a comeback at home.
……
What about Chang Sheng’s press conference before the game?
"We can do things you can’t imagine!"
It’s that simple. How can you do it without any dry goods? Don’t say
Makes people want to boo him.
Chang Sheng thinks it’s good to talk to the media here after all the words have been said. At this time, he might as well analyze the weaknesses of AC Milan for the players in the tactical class.
The night before the game, the two teams had two completely different preparation situations.
In AC Milan Hotel, the tactical meeting ended early. Ancelotti announced the starting list of the game for one day and then told everyone what was known.
Then he announced the dissolution.
The huge lead makes him feel that there is no need to push his players too hard. Although he says he is cautious, he is too nervous, and there is no need. These players are experienced and know how to adjust their state and mentality.
Or let them relax-it helps the day to play.
While in Valencia Hotel, the meeting room lights are always on.
After having dinner in the hotel, the players went straight into the conference room. The light was on from 9: 30 to 11: 30 for two hours!
This is the four longest tactical meetings that Valencia players have attended.
Is in case of loss.
God, the game is too important. The winning team and the players dare not elaborate.
Chang Sheng didn’t say anything impassioned to make the players feel excited.
Now he talks about tactics and advantages and disadvantages of both sides.
"AC Milan’s defence, like Rome’s defence, has conceded the least goals in Serie A this season. Their defence is very strong, and they are all experienced and excellent, but that doesn’t mean they have no weaknesses. On the contrary, they are very weak and deadly. If we want to seize their weaknesses, we will probably make a comeback at home. Remember, guys, when I say we are reversible, it’s not a bluff. I am sure!"
"From the week of Milan Derby, the Champions League has been heavy, and now AC Milan has lost nine goals in the latest league match. As the number of matches is getting closer, this solid defense line has declined greatly at the beginning of the season. Their biggest problem is that the defense line is too old. pancaro is 32 years old, Cafu is 33 years old, Martini is 35 years old, costacurta is 35 years old, and Starr is 27 years old, but he is often injured. At the beginning of the season, these people are in good health. AC Milan’s defense has experience and strength advantages, but as the league and the Champions League gradually increase compared with the old cadres, the aging disadvantage of this defense has emerged. Recently, AC Milan is almost a week, and pancaro is tired. No one can imagine that from the twenty-fourth round against Sampdoria and pancaro in the league, The Champions League national team played nine games in a month. On the other side, Cafu has been the main force from the first half of the league until now, and only in the Italian Cup in the middle of the week can Brazil get some breathing space. Although Maldini got a full week’s rest on the national team match day, for the 35-year-old, his main force has not rotated until now, and his physical fitness has reached a limit. Another central defender position is that costacurta and Starr take turns to play costacurta. Once they catch up for a week, they will definitely have problems, and Starr’s two performances after returning from injury are not so good …
Changsheng analyzed the defensive line of AC Milan in great detail.
"In addition, there are also problems with Ancelotti’s tactics. Although the media say that AC Milan will definitely advance in this game if it wants to defend and counterattack, I don’t think Ancelotti will choose to defend and counterattack because he advocates oppressive play and seeks the best opportunity through the frontcourt. However, once the ball is lost and turned into defense, it often gives the opponent a lot. I remember pancaro once revealed that AC Milan’s tactics are that two full-backs are involved in the attack and form a multi-point response in the frontcourt. This is the core of Ancelotti’s attack, and in the defense, they rely on two highly capable central defenders, but often they will
"Ancelotti will definitely do this again, and attack away from home will completely destroy us. I think even if Ancelotti wants to play a defensive counterattack, he will have to advance a goal in the game to do so, which is more safe. After all, a game has 90 minutes. It is not Ancelotti’s style to give the initiative to the opponent as soon as he comes."
Don’t ask why the winner is so sure that Ancelotti will choose to attack rather than defend against the attack when he leads by three goals in the first leg because he just knows.
He has a deep memory of many things that happened in the world football in the past, especially this kind of thing that shocked the whole European football.
In the same season, the same quarter-finals were different opponents. At that time, AC Milan played La Coruna, and they scored 41 in the first leg. La Coruna scored an away goal, but it was meaningless. AC Milan won three goals.
Is it similar to your current situation?
Unexpectedly, in the second round, Carlo Ancelotti didn’t choose defensive counter-attack but continued to attack … As a result, what happened next, everyone knew that AC Milan was defeated by La Coruna 4, with a total score of 45, and they were eliminated!
No one knows why Carlo Ancelotti will continue to attack instead of defending and fighting back safely.
Changsheng doesn’t know, but he needs to know that it is enough for Ancelotti to do this, and he doesn’t need to know why he did it.
"In Ancelotti’s formation, Seedorf’s left-back is actually a free man. The whole attack and defense on the left depends on pancaro alone … Look at this ball." The video of AC Milan’s game, which was carefully edited by Rudy Gonzá lez, is playing in the conference room. "This is the game between AC Milan and Mona. It was after pancaro attacked that Starr made up the left side and simic made up the middle, revealing the right side …" Look at this game again … "The ever-victorious remote controller is fast-forwarding" Facing Sampdoria. The same is true of Doria’s goal. Seedorf can really revitalize the attack but weaken the left defense … So AC Milan’s left is their weakness. We should focus on our attack in the day’s game. The center of gravity is their side! "
Chapter two hundred and seventy Let’s show his mother a miracle!
The winning analysis is very detailed, interspersed with various war cases, video supplements and evidence, which makes Valencia players feel very at ease without fear and anxiety after listening to it.
They don’t know how a Spanish league coach who always wins is so familiar with the Italian league.
But every game is like this. Chang Sheng and his coaching team can always support his tactical views with detailed data.
Listen to his tactics, you won’t be confused, but you will feel very clear. Everyone knows what he should do in the game.
It’s completely different from the coach who will shout "You have to believe in yourself, we will win, we will win, we will definitely win" whenever possible.
Chang Sheng will say things that sound exciting, but he will always tell you if you can win.
Changsheng spent two hours analyzing how AC Milan tactics should be dealt with.
Although he didn’t say a word to boost morale, everyone was full of confidence in the game after the tactical meeting.
It is really possible for us to beat AC Milan and get rid of them!
……
On April 7th, when AC Milan players are enjoying a delicious breakfast and chatting leisurely with their teammates in the hotel, Rudy Gonzalez is standing at the entrance of the restaurant in Valencia Hotel. Every player who comes in for dinner will be stopped by him and then take out the one with the name written on it from the paper pile in his hand and give it to the corresponding player.
Every player will look down when he gets it and then go in.
Because this is based on the different tactical requirements of each player in different positions.
For example, the tactical requirements of strikers and defenders are different, even if they are both strikers, center Villa, wingers Reyes and Ronaldinho, the tactical requirements are also the same.
Both wingers, right winger Reyes and left winger Ronaldinho, are different. In this game, the main attacker on pancaro’s side is right winger Reyes and left winger Ronaldinho, mainly to suppress Cafu from threatening Valencia’s goal easily.
Of course, in the game, the two wingers will switch positions, which does not mean that Reyes can move on the right and Ronaldinho can move on the left.
These detailed and meticulous tactical requirements are all the achievements of the winning coaches.
Although everyone knew it at yesterday’s tactical meeting
But now I still have to give them that one. They forget it and look at it again when it’s okay to deepen their impression.
Chang Sheng, though a passer-by, knows the two wonderful games between AC Milan and La Coruna, and also knows that La Coruna finally reversed AC Milan, which was three goals ahead of them.
He can also analyze the tactics of both sides by watching the game, but he doesn’t know what Irueta has done behind these tactics and this game.
He can try his best to make his preparations the best and most meticulous, so as to ensure that in case of failure.
There must be a lot of unknown sweat and effort behind a game victory, especially an impossible victory. It is absolutely impossible to say that the head coach fired a cannon fifteen minutes before the game, and then the team won like chicken blood.
You know, preparing for a game is from the end of a game.
