Milan Circle
After a 1-0 win over Sampdoria on February 13, it ended the match against two relegation teams, Salenitana and Udinese, with a draw in a row, although the top experience card was recharged for nearly half a month under the collective "help" of the championship group, but behind the luck was the team's continuous downturn. The Milan derby in the Coppa Italia is undoubtedly an excellent platform to turn the tide, as long as it wins, just like the league reversal of Inter a month ago followed by a 4-0 massacre of Lazio. During the same period, rivals Inter Milan only drew 2 and lost 2 in 4 matches, and they also longed for victory. Such a game that should be full of war intentions and demands ended in a 0-0 draw.
Compared to the all-time Inter, Milan have three main adjustments this game: Florenzi, Clunic and Salles Marks started, but this is not a sign of weakness. Florenzi has proven himself in calabria's absence, while Klunic and Salmales are clearly targeting the lately depressed strikers and right wingers, as well as the opposing core defender Brozovic and left wing defender Perisic. Pioli's "pair" can be more than one Clunic, the right side of the defense in addition to the Belgian winger assistance, Florenzi also rarely participates in the attack, the intention of crouching pit is obvious. On the other side, the other side of the road, which was suppressed so badly a month ago, and finally the angry and red-stained Theo also targeted Dumfries in various fights. Coupled with the "close service" of two African backs to Char KhanOglu and Barrera, it is guaranteed to make the recently sluggish Inter double even more passive water. Coupled with the physical bottlenecks that appear under the opponent's continuous combat, Milan has a lot of advantages, but it is only that, and the long-standing problem has not been solved.
Addicted to long biography can not extricate themselves -
As if suffering from PTSD for a mistake in holding the ball at the waist, the defensive line of three people pulled apart, the back of the single soldier to meet, the rest of the people ran to the front, without going through the midfield, the defender or goalkeeper direct long pass to find the front line has become a standard match for Milan, there is still a chance to work during the counterattack period, but the attack is terriblely inefficient. It is even more unfortunate that when the team is behind and needs to score as soon as possible, this style of play will even be elevated to the only tactic. There's nothing wrong with trying to take advantage of Giroud's bridgehead role, but Pioli's use is too crude. Only the equalizer against Salenitana came from Giroud's header back in the two draws, but that long-range shot was very accidental and not in the regular shooting area, and if Rebic hadn't had a kick, everyone knew that the attack would most likely not be a threat. Olivier Giroud's threat not only comes from overhead, but also from underfoot, but our matching style of play has not developed a mature enough routine, just like Olivier Giroud's many passes and runs in this game, all lack of follow-up cooperation.
What is the front waist used for? ——
Driven by the back and blasted by the left wing, Milan's nominal front has come closer to a two-striker role, or forced or voluntarily abandoned the retraction organizational function, and the small-bodied Díaz has to fall into hand-to-hand combat in the defender group, and his weaknesses are infinitely magnified. And Clunic, who started this game, continued to expose various hot-eyed passing and running errors on the offensive end. If the personnel reserve is fixed and the tactical playing style does not change, the front waist dilemma will not be solved in a short period of time. In turn, it can only become more and more dependent on long passes and left-wing flashpoints.
Air Combat Crisis -
In this game, Romagnoli only played less than 30 minutes before retiring from the line of fire due to injury, and the next center-back combination will be 184cm Tomori and 180cm Kalulu, although Roma Jr. is not an air defense support, we do need to recall the fear of being dominated by the 199cm "Milan" half a month ago. The next game, whether it is "Serie A little monster" Osmayne or youth acquaintance Petania, will be a huge test of defense.
None of this has improved in this Milan derby. In fact, in the opening 10 minutes, Special Olympics created a shooting opportunity through a breakthrough, and it has been clearly seen that Inter's operating speed has dropped significantly under continuous combat, to be honest, I am looking forward to Pioli being able to make more radical tactical adjustments, but in the case of physical fitness and scenes are a certain advantage, with the progress of the game and personnel changes, it is more and more unable to play a threat. The result of the first leg is not disappointing, and there is still a chance to decide in the second leg, but three consecutive draws, it is indeed time to divide the winners and losers.
