Chapter 186 【】 Pre-season friendly match

Due to various reasons, the AC Milan team, which was originally invited by Amsterdam, the Netherlands, did not go at the beginning of this season.However, now that the league is about to start, the Rossoneri also continue to warm up with their opponents.So, this time AC Milan invited the Dutch Ajax team to the San Siro Stadium for a friendly match.And Ajax also readily agreed, so on August [-], [-], AC Milan will hold a friendly match with Dutch club Ajax at their home stadium San Siro.

Through these days of training, the AC Milan team has been running in very well, and Ancelotti also wants to test through this game, how far they have been running in.

Although it was just a warm-up match, there were still a lot of fans present.The entire San Siro stadium is almost half-sit, it seems that the fans have more expectations for the AC Milan team in the new season.They can't wait for the start of the league and want to witness the strength of AC this season. Of course, they are also wearing the same red and black striped shirts, and they are still singing: "Milan...Milan..."

The atmosphere at the scene was very hot, which shocked Xiao Mian.It's not like he hasn't seen such a scene before, and they have also seen bigger scenes than this one.However, at that time he was facing such a big scene as an opponent, and at that time he still felt nothing.However, now that he is a member of this team, he can feel the pride in their hearts, as well as his own. This is the charm of a wealthy family.

In the player locker room, Ancelotti only said one sentence: "Be good today, just show what you showed in training!" This made the players in the locker room a lot easier. Much less psychological pressure.After all, the time for everyone to train together is not very long. If it is strictly stipulated that they must win, then the players who are in a hurry will definitely forget the whole, which is very bad for the Rossoneri in the new season.

And then it's time to announce the starting lineup, which is very important and seems to indicate the main lineup at the beginning of the season.Because before the start of the league, the Rossoneri only had such a warm-up match, so can this starting list be important?Moreover, in the usual training, everyone is more scattered, and no one has a clear idea about the main position.

Therefore, the starting list for this game is particularly important.The Milan players in red and black striped shirts all raised their heads and stared at the head coach Ancelotti cautiously. At the same time, their hearts were in a state of panic, because no one knew that the next [-]-man roster What will it look like, do you think everyone will not be nervous?
"Today our formation will be [-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-]!" Ancelotti spoke, but this formation is too different. In normal training, Ancelotti has never used it. Moreover, there is only one spot for such a rich striker in Milan, which makes everyone hold their breath.Everyone was even more nervous and uneasy, because no one knew who would be on the starting list.

At this time, Ancelotti began to announce the starting lineup. Everyone held their breath, fearing to interrupt Ancelotti, "Goalkeeper——Akinfeev!" This starting lineup exceeded people's expectations. After all, Dida should be more stable and in better condition during training.Now that Ancelotti doesn't adjust the lineup as soon as possible, and is still doing these inexplicable things, everyone really doesn't understand.

"It's...it's me?" The Russian couldn't believe it when he heard his name, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Mian beside him, and asked suspiciously.

"Well, it is indeed you, perform well, and strive to secure the main position!" Xiao Mian said, indeed, Xiao Mian, who has just transferred, is more familiar with the people who have just transferred to this team.So, speaking, he is always on this side.

"Well, you have to work hard and strive to win this main position!!" Akinfeev nodded firmly to Xiao Mian, and then began to encourage Xiao Mian. It seems that this Russian boy is still an honest guy ah.

"The four defenders from left to right are Grosso, Senderos, Karadze and Zambrotta!" As soon as Ancelotti's voice fell, everyone began to wonder again. If Akinfeev had entered the starting lineup before If it can be said to be an accident, then this defense line is like a second-line defense line with half main force and half substitute!
Now the team members can't understand what kind of medicine the head coach Ancelotti is selling in the gourd. This arrangement makes the AC Milan players feel in a fog, and they can't see any main force from here. The appearance of the lineup comes.Now the players' hearts began to fluctuate. Is the head coach going to start a complete reorganization?
"As for the midfielder, that's Emerson. The defensive task in this position is a bit heavier today. So it's arranged like this!" This is the only place Ancelotti explained. It seems that today he has to pay attention to defense. , This is the true thought of all Milan team members at this moment.However, Ancelotti's next arrangement really surprised them.

"The midfield trio, from left to right, are Ronaldinho, Kaka and Joao Moutinho!" Ancelotti continued their cloudy arrangement, making people Do not understand.If it is said that putting Kaka and Ronaldinho in that position is to strengthen the offense, then what is the idea of ​​​​putting Joao Moutinho in the midfielder position on the right?Everyone doesn't understand at all.

"As for the '[-]' in front of the midfield, right Pato should be in charge." Ancelotti ignored the players' ignorance, and continued to talk about today's starting list.And Pato's name appeared in this position, everyone felt that it was unexpected and reasonable.

"As for the center forward position, I will give it to Xiao Mian!" Ancelotti also seemed to have seen Xiao Mian's contract. At this stage of the league, Xiao Mian must become the main force. Therefore, in this position, Ancelotti was on the line with Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian was not surprised that his name could appear in the starting list, because there was such a clause in his contract.But what surprised him was the lineup.The Milanese had never practiced this lineup, nor used it in training. Xiao Mian was very suspicious of whether this lineup was the main lineup.

However, despite doubts, this game is not good.Therefore, Xiao Mian could only keep his doubts in his heart.Next, Ancelotti began to explain the tactical issues of this game.

From this lineup, you can clearly find that this formation is stronger in offense than defense.Now everyone knows why Ancelotti had to explain when introducing Emerson. In fact, there is only one change in this formation.That is, when attacking, it is [-]-[-]-[-]-[-]-[-], and when defending, it becomes [-]-[-]-[-]-[-].

When defending, Joao Moutinho on the right has to step back and form a double midfielder with Emerson.At the same time, Kaka moved to the right, giving Pato the position in the middle.When attacking, Joao Moutinho must be able to attack this point to achieve the goal of flying with both wings.Of course, this is very demanding of Joao Moutinho.

In fact, the reason for this arrangement is that Ancelotti first thinks about the adaptability of the players, and second, he wants to practice this lineup.The worst thing about this Milan team is the position on the right side. During the winter break, Ancelotti must introduce a player in this position.What's more, he wants the players to feel a sense of crisis and pressure.In this way, the players can work harder in training, and can better display their abilities and characteristics in competitions.

On the Ajax side, they continued their normal lineup of [-]-[-]-[-]. Among this group of people, Xiao Mian didn't know many people, only a few, like midfielder De Jong, Goalkeeper Stekelenburg, full-back Oleg, and center Suarez and several others.However, Xiao Mian knew that this team cannot be underestimated.

Although, the opponent is only a Eredivisie team, and the reason why Xiao Mian knows this team is because of his youth training.But this is a very strong team, and now the Milan team is still a reorganized team, and the situation is very unstable.Therefore, Xiao Mian has no idea whether this Milan team can take down the opponent, let alone such a formation.

When the on-site announcer introduced the formation and lineup of the Milan team, the Milan fans at the scene were also stunned. They couldn't figure out why Ancelotti would arrange such a formation.All the fans in the audience frowned, and even the opponent's head coach frowned.He didn't know what Ancelotti's purpose was in doing this.

For such a Milan team, he felt very strange, with a feeling of nowhere to be found.At this time, the head coach of Ajax felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he really had no choice but to face such Milan.It seemed that he could only play according to their usual style of play.

Seeing the Milan team's half-main and half-substitute formation, the Ajax players thought they were underestimated. The Milan team gave them the feeling that the Milanese didn't take them seriously at all. Made the Ajax players very angry.They made up their minds in their hearts to teach the Milanese a lesson, and the Ajax people are not easy to bully.

The game has not yet started, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides is very strong, and the fans at the scene are also very enthusiastic. I don't know what kind of excitement the two sides will bring us in the next game?Then let us wait and see! !
