Chapter 1343 Allegri's Problem

Liverpool won the championship three rounds ahead of time, and the team was full of joy.

But in Milan, Italy, it was caught in a storm.

After a 0:2 away defeat to Liverpool, Ibrahimovic bombarded Allegri's tactics after the game, which pushed the coach to the forefront and focused everyone's attention on On the internal contradictions of AC Milan.

"Allegri and Ibrahimovic have frequent conflicts! "

Discord between the generals is the main reason for the team's away loss! "

"Ibrahimovic clamors: There is him but there is no me!" "

Tactical Issues or Passive Avoidance? "

……

Various headlines appeared on the front pages of Italian newspapers.

Ibrahimovic's words were like a fuse, igniting the powder keg, and all kinds of bad news were dug out by the reporters.

Only then did everyone know that Ibrahimovic has been unhappy with Allegri for a long time...

From the current point of view, public opinion is on Ibrahimovic's side, because the team lost the ball, and the loss was ugly-in Liverpool's home court for 10 minutes, they were only parryed by Liverpool , helpless.Even the number of shots is very few. As AC Milan, a traditional giant in Italy, and the former European football hegemony, when did AC Milan be so humble?
Losing the game in this way is considered "useless" by many AC Milan people.

The reporters criticized Allegri for his conservative tactics, sticking to his defense even when he was behind, completely ignorant of what he was going to do, which was confusing.

Some people laughed at Allegri for saying that the team has hope of advancing to the final after losing the game. Either his brain is burned out, or he is deceiving us the public...

There are also some celebrities who have published articles in newspapers saying that it is completely unacceptable to bid farewell to this season's Champions League in this way.

The voice of Allegri dismissed from get out of class sounded among the fans.

Everything seems to be moving in favor of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

As long as he persists for a while, Ibrahimovic can sweep Allegri out and dominate the Milan dressing room by himself.At that time, no one could shake his position...

When the outside world is talking about Allegri's future, Allegri is meeting with the team's general manager Galliani.

"Mr. Berlusconi is very dissatisfied with the team's 0:2 away loss to Liverpool in the first leg. He hopes you can give a reasonable explanation, Massimi." The bald head Galliani said to Allegri expressionlessly.

Although he called the nickname of Allegri's name "Masimiliano", Allegri did not think that the bald head in front of him would be an expression of affection for him.

Galliani is one of the best old foxes in Italian football, and he is as famous as the general manager of Juventus, Moggi.Later, Moggi was banned from participating in football-related activities for life because of the call-fixing case, and Galliani became the most cunning general manager in Italy.

In fact, Galliani's question was not surprising to Allegri at all. He had already thought about it when he lost the game and returned to Italy from England, and he had already figured out how to answer it.

He admitted that this scene was really not very good-looking. As a giant like AC Milan, when facing another giant, they would choose to stick to the tactic of not being able to defend themselves.This style of play should only be seen on AC Milan's opponents. When will AC Milan use it?

But there is no way.

"The score of 0:2 is a true portrayal of the strength gap between us and Liverpool, Mr. Galliani." Allegri said respectfully, while he carefully observed Galliani's expression, he did not want to offend The old man in front of him.He is not afraid of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at all, he is afraid of this man.Seeing that Galliani's expression did not change, he continued.

"I think the media is trying to mislead everyone when they talk about this game - they think Liverpool are on the same level as us. In fact I think Liverpool are already on the same level as Barcelona and Real Madrid... ..."

"Do you think we are not as good as Liverpool when you say that?" Galliani asked, but he didn't hear any dissatisfaction in his tone.

Allegri spread his hands: "This is the truth, Mr. Galliani. But the truth is usually not very pleasant. Not only our Milan, but the entire Italian football has fallen behind the Premier League and La Liga, but many people have not. Aware of this, or they are aware of it but are unwilling to admit it...but we must admit it and keep a clear head, which will allow us to usher in a revival."

"Go on." Galliani nodded.

"I think it's time for AC Milan to renew their blood. We have a lot of talented players but we still can't win the Champions League. I think the root is in the control of the dressing room. The Swede has too many privileges. He let me It's difficult to manage and it creates a very bad influence among other players..." Allegri said his purpose a little bit.

Replace new blood, increase the intensity of signings, and at the same time clean a group of current players. Of course, the Swedish Ibrahimovic is the first to bear the brunt and must be cleaned.

"His existence made our locker room uneasy. In fact, I said at the post-match press conference that we still have a chance to advance to the final. Bringing the contradiction to the news media immediately put the team in a very passive position, and affected their preparations... My suggestion is not to renew the contract with the Swede. If he wants to leave, just take advantage of him When you can sell it for a few dollars, send him out."

After he finished his plan, he looked at Galliani quietly, and then it was time to wait for the result of the trial.

Unexpectedly, Galliani shook his head: "Now is not the time to talk about this, Massimi. Haven't you figured it out yet? It's not about who is right or wrong between you and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It's about Bellus Mr. Kony doesn't want to see his team lose against Liverpool with no strength to fight back. He thinks that a big Serie A giant should have the atmosphere of a giant. So he is very dissatisfied with your tactics at Anfield... He wants to see a brave AC Milan in the second leg, not an AC Milan that continues to defend passively."

Allegri froze for a moment, only to realize that Galliani didn't come to him for Ibrahimovic. He didn't care about such trivial issues at all. Did he want to drive Ibrahimovic away? This kind of thing can be decided by Galliani with a casual nod.

It turned out that Berlusconi himself was dissatisfied...

For the boss of AC Milan, Allegri also has some understanding. This is a boss who is very good at and likes to interfere with the team's tactics. Since the Ancelotti era, he has been intervening in the internal affairs of the team. I seem to be an expert who is proficient in football tactics, and I want to give pointers to the team's tactics-not only him, but all Italian men are like this. They always think that they are more knowledgeable and level than professional football coaches.

But he could not accept Berlusconi's evaluation and arrangement of his own tactics.

"But, Mr. Galliani. If we played against Liverpool at home, I think we would die worse..." He tried to defend himself.

"Mr. Berlusconi knew you would answer like this, so he had already prepared the answer. How would he know if he didn't try?"

"We tried! At Anfield, we've been pushed out for the second goal, but what have we received? More fire from the other side! A hero's post... ..."

"Yes, yes, but isn't that an away game? We didn't have an advantage. But the second round makes our home game, and at our home game, the team's strength will be greatly improved-this is Beru. Mr Sconey's words."

"It's impossible, Mr. Galliani. As you know, home court advantage is not a stimulant. It can give the team an immediate effect, let alone in the current public opinion environment-I really don't know how many people still have it." Thinking in the second round of the game..."

"Maximi, you'd better consider your current situation, and then reject this request." Galliani said.

Allegri noticed that Galliani's pupils constricted a bit when he said this, and he shivered.

Sure enough, it still has something to do with Ibrahimovic!
Obviously, if he is unwilling to implement Berlusconi's decision, he will be fired without even waiting for the next round of semi-finals.He believed that Berlusconi could do such a thing, and Galliani would definitely execute it without hesitation.

Failure to comply will result in dismissal.If it is followed... He can foresee that AC Milan will lose to Liverpool and miss the final.

How to do it?

His brain was running fast, thinking of countermeasures.

Suddenly a thought popped up in his mind.

He thought of a past event, which had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't beat it with eight poles.But everyone knows it, so he knows it too.

The most important thing is that this matter is somewhat similar to my current situation, and it seems to be useful for reference...

That was still in the 2010-2011 season, the former Inter Milan coach Mourinho transferred to coach Real Madrid.On the eve of the first round of the national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the media, fans and club executives all shouted the slogan that they hoped that Real Madrid would attack the mighty Barcelona at Camp Nou.

But Mourinho knew that with the strength of Real Madrid at that time, there was only a dead end against Barcelona, ​​let alone at their home court. There was no worst situation, only worse...

But he can't change the stubborn mind of club chairman Florentino, nor can he change the mind of the media and the fanatical fans instigated by the media.

It looks like he will have to lead the team against Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

If that is the case, once he loses the game, his unstable foundation in Real Madrid will inevitably be greatly impacted. Whether he can continue to coach in Real Madrid is still unknown.

The results of it?He complied, and Real Madrid lost a humiliating 0-5 at the Nou Camp.

But the strange thing is that Mourinho did not lose the coaching position of Real Madrid.Not only that, but after this humiliating defeat, he also consolidated the prestige of his dressing room, as well as his power in the club.At the same time, there is no media clamoring that Real Madrid should play against Barcelona.Even if his team was slightly conservative at times, the critical Real Madrid fans didn't boo at all. Instead, they made up a "Jose Mourinho song" and played it frequently in the Bernabeu South Stand Singing - all indications are that Mourinho's power in Real Madrid is on the rise.

Why is this?

Later, some media reported that this was Mourinho's plan to play hard to get.In order to let Real Madrid executives, Real Madrid fans, and the media fully realize the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and realize their previous mistakes in offensive football, he cooperated with everyone in this game.

In the end, Real Madrid's disastrous defeat at the Nou Camp gave everyone a blow, and at the same time realized that Mourinho's previous "three midfielder" defensive tactics were correct.

In this way, he cleared all obstacles with a defeat in one game.

It has laid a good foundation for him to monopolize power in Real Madrid.

Thinking of this, Allegri knew what he should do.

I can also learn from him!
