Chapter 717

"AC Milan's midfield pressed strongly against Inter Milan."

"Khedira passed the ball to De Bruyne, the Belgian midfielder got rid of the defender and passed it diagonally to the left!"

"Filipe Anderson got the ball on the left, very calm, decisive breakthrough, pass!"

"Beautiful, after Felipe Anderson was extraordinary, he quickly accelerated, and Inter Milan counterattacked!"

"Come to the front of the penalty area, one-on-one, Felipe Anderson, one more time, one more time!"

"Wonderful, get down to the bottom line, pull out the gap, cross the middle, chance!"

"Palacio, Palacio, the ball... oops!"

"Palacio hit the ball high, such a good opportunity, almost facing an empty goal, he hit it high!"

"It's really a pity. Inter Milan's offense is still quite threatening and has created opportunities, but there is a problem with the finishing touch!"

"Icardi also missed a necessary goal in the first half, and Palacio scored another goal in the second half. Inter Milan is really unlucky today. If they squander and waste opportunities like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to retreat from the San Siro Stadium!"

The voice of the TV commentator was full of regret, but the fans at the San Siro Stadium burst into cheers.

Because tonight's San Siro stadium belongs to AC Milan!

This is a Milan derby in Serie A.

If it is said that the current situation of Inter Milan is not optimistic, it is only ranked fourth in the league, and there is still a long distance from the top three in the league, then the situation of AC Milan is even worse, because they are ranked tenth.

Yang Huan was sitting in the stands of the San Siro Stadium, watching everything that happened below the stadium with cold eyes.

He's a little annoyed!
Even quite annoying!
Because he spent a total of more than 3000 million euros during the winter break, strengthening three lines for Inter Milan, and even gave the greatest trust to coach Mazari, promising not to interfere with his use of troops. Even during the winter break, Yang Huan specially arranged for the team to go to Spain for vacation training.

But in the end, Inter Milan's performance did not improve at all, and the gap between them and the top three teams in the league was getting bigger and bigger, so big that they couldn't catch up!
"Why do you still have to play three guards?" Yang Huan asked depressedly.

Looking at today's mainstream European teams, who is playing at the back?
Of course, you have to have a suitable lineup, and it doesn't matter to play three backs, but the problem is that Inter Milan's three backs are very awkward, even useless.

There is no doubt that Allegri is one of the few head coaches in the current Serie A with more advanced tactical concepts, so he insists on using four backs, because this can help AC Milan make a difference in the European competition.

On the other hand, Juventus, which uses three backs, won six games, one win, three draws and two losses in the group stage, scoring nine goals and conceding four goals, ranking third in the group.

not bad?

Looking at the group Juventus is in, the other three teams are Real Madrid, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.

Galatasaray, the Turkish team defeated by Southampton [-]-[-] in two rounds!

With the strength of the Serie A championship team, even if it is not as good as Real Madrid, but no matter what, it must beat Galatasaray and Copenhagen, right?

Even if you take the experience of the European war, take the away game as an example, but what about your home game?
One win and two draws!
Such a score at home, taking it out, is definitely a failure!
Therefore, Juventus' current problem is not a problem of player strength, but tactics!

What the Italian teams were most proud of in the past was undoubtedly their tactical concepts and innovations.

But obviously, judging from the current situation, Serie A has fallen to the point where tactics can't keep up with the pace of the other three major leagues, especially Juventus.

Today's Champions League tactics are innovated every year, and the evolution is very fast. Once you leave for a long time and come back, you will find it difficult to adapt, and this innovation is often reflected in a lot of details, which are difficult for ordinary people to see.

This is why, in the eyes of professionals, the UEFA Champions League is already the most tactical event in the world, and it has long surpassed national team events such as the World Cup and the European Cup.

Mazzari did have a brilliant record when he led Naples, but it is obvious that he is farther and farther away from Yang Huan's mind, who can lead Inter Milan to rise, no, even lay a solid foundation for Inter Milan.

"Who are the first-line head coaches who are currently unemployed at home?" Yang Huan asked, frowning.

Sitting next to Master Huan, Fasone, Branca, and Osirio were all taken aback for a moment, but they all quickly sensed Master Huan's intentions. This is the rhythm of a coaching change.

"I don't know what Master Huan's request is?" Blanca asked.

"Advanced style of play, suitable for leading young people. It is best to be inclined to attack and be more passionate. Of course, famous coaches are given priority!"

After hearing what Master Huan said, all three of them smiled wryly.

During the winter break of Inter Milan, big money came in and out, and the salary of the team dropped a lot. Therefore, there are really not many restrictions on the salary of the head coach. As long as the annual salary is controlled at around 500 million euros, there will be no problems.

And the annual salary of 500 million euros is already considered the salary of a famous coach in European football.

Of course, the reason why famous coaches get high salaries is mainly because they do have the qualifications for high salaries. After all, in addition to coaching ability, many coaches have excellent coordination skills in all aspects and the ability to control the locker room.

As for Mazari, the whole team trained before Christmas. It has been almost three months now, but they still haven't integrated the team into a framework and appearance. They are still wandering around in his [-] tactics, which is really chilling.

"Master Huan is considering changing now?" Osirio asked.

Yang Huan is also quite a headache. It is not impossible to change now, but there is not much time left for the new coach.

It would be better to let Mazari coach until the end of the season, and then talk to him. It is best to get together and get together. Mazzari resigned on his own initiative to keep his reputation of never being fired, while Inter Milan will save more than 200 million euros in annual salary compensation for the next year.

Thinking of this, Yang Huan replied: "Change after the season!"

In fact, not only he was thinking, but also the entire Italian media and fans were shouting that Mazzarri should be dismissed.

Just kidding, I spent 3000 million euros and gave you three months, but you turned out like this, with no offense, no defense, how embarrassing are you?
In terms of lineup strength, Inter Milan is now absolutely capable of entering the top three in the league, and even if the head coach is strong, there is every hope of competing for the championship.

But today's Inter Milan can't even make it to the top three in the league.

The main reason is that Mazari stubbornly adhered to the tactical system he had pursued in the past, and bluntly wanted to stuff the current group of Inter Milan players into his tactics.

This makes it impossible for Inter Milan's players to give full play to their strengths and characteristics.

Even players like De Bruyne, Felipe Anderson, Dybala, etc., have no room to play at all.

In this case, Yang Huan has only two choices, either continue to support Mazari, let him continue to go on, and see when he can achieve results, or even buy another person.

But it is very likely that young rookies such as De Bruyne, Dybala, and Felipe Anderson will be disabled.

Or simply replace the head coach!
The lesser of two evils, there is no doubt that the cost of firing Mazari is lower.

Think about it, Mazari should also be proud, because he is the first head coach to be fired since Master Huan's life!
"If it is changed after the end of the season, then we can choose a lot." Blanca said.

"Oh, let's hear it!" Yang Huan asked, but his eyes were looking down the field.

Inter Milan's offense still hasn't improved much, and Mazzarri seems to be substituting.

"Among the more famous coaches in Europe, there are quite a few coaches who meet the requirements of Master Huan, such as Michel Laudrup, or the Spaniard Pochettino, and the Dutchman Koeman. They are all pretty good coaches."

Yang Huan had heard of and understood all of these people.

Among them, Pochettino's style is in the line of Bielsa, and it can be completely in the same line as Southampton, Monaco and Atletico Madrid, and Pochettino has done quite well with the Spaniard.

Especially in the first two years of coaching the Spaniard, after fighting the fire midway, he led the Spaniard to successfully relegation, and even reached the top ten in the league, which can be described as a blockbuster.

In the second season, that is, the 11-[-] season, the Spaniard won No. [-] in the league.

But it was the third season that really established Pochettino's reputation in Spanish football. He led the Spaniard to the eighth place in La Liga, which can be described as quite a success.

It is precisely because of his excellent coaching in the Spaniard that Pochettino has a good reputation and is a disciple of Bielsa, so Yang Huan naturally noticed the Argentine.

"In addition, there are currently many head coaches in Europe who are unstable, and the most dangerous of them is Dortmund's Klopp."

"Klopp?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

This is the strongman who led Dortmund to the Champions League final.

"Yes, Dortmund's performance this season has plummeted, and the transfer operation is also quite bad, but the real problem is that at the beginning of the season, after Gotze was forcibly poached by Bayern Munich with liquidated damages, Klopp asked the club to keep Lewandowski and Reus, and at the same time asked to introduce De Bruyne."

Yang Huan has heard about this point. It is said that Chelsea is unwilling to sell De Bruyne to Dortmund because of the failure to introduce Lewandowski. This also made De Bruyne scold Chelsea severely.

"But who would have thought that Dortmund could not stop the Qatari gold dollar offensive in the end. At the last moment of the transfer market, Royce was finally transferred to Tottenham Hotspur, but failed to introduce suitable substitute players."

"During the winter break, Lewandowski announced that he would transfer to Bayern Munich on a free transfer after the end of the season. Dortmund lost both money and talent. This season's performance has plummeted, and they are even on the verge of relegation. Klopp's coaching position is in jeopardy."

After hearing this, Yang Huan knew what was going on.

To say that Dortmund's performance is poor, Klopp may not need to take much responsibility. After all, among the three generals he relies on most, two players have already switched to his team, and one will leave soon.

It can only be said that in many cases, the scapegoat for poor performance is still the head coach.

Otherwise, why does everyone say that the head coach is the one who takes the blame?
"What about Allegri?" Yang Huan asked with interest.

For Allegri, Yang Huan still appreciates it.

This Italian head coach is definitely one of the few smart people in Serie A who can keep up with the existing advanced tactical concepts. This is not easy, even a head coach like Mancini is not as good as him.

Among the Italian coaches, I am afraid that only Ancelotti's philosophy can surpass Allegri.

As for Capello, Lippi and other coaches, it has been a long time since they left the European front line.

Of course, what we are talking about here is philosophy. In terms of coaching ability, Allegri still has a certain gap with these predecessors.

But he has an advantage, that is, the native Italian coach is familiar with and understands everything about Italian football.

This is indeed a great temptation for Inter Milan.

The only bigger hidden danger is that he is from AC Milan.

But for Yang Huan, isn't poaching the coach of his mortal enemy also very enjoyable?
