Chapter 885
"It's starting, the live broadcast is starting!"

"Wow, the commentator is out!"

"Good guy, tonight's live broadcast is still Lao Huang and Lao Zhang!"

"It's so awesome, I like to watch their commentary."

"That's right, Lao Huang is passionate, and Lao Zhang really understands football. Such comments are interesting!"

"That's right, to explain Serie A, you need Lao Huang and Lao Zhang!"

"I support you, Old Huang!"

With the launch of the WeChat video game live channel, a scene of Huang Jianxiang and Director Zhang sitting in the live broadcast room appeared on the screen, and the comment area was suddenly lively.

"Hello, audience friends. Welcome to the live broadcast of WeChat video, the 16-[-] season, the No.[-] round of Serie A, and the last game before the winter break."

Speaking of this, Huang Jianxiang deliberately paused, and then emphasized his tone, "Juventus vs. Inter Milan at home!"

"The signal from our side has come. Everyone can see that the players of the two teams have already guessed the side. Inter Milan will serve first. The two teams also set up their positions in their respective halfs, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle."

"The referee in charge of the enforcement of the Tianwangshan battle tonight is a 43-year-old Italian international referee, Nicola Rizzoli. He was also the referee in the previous World Cup final in Brazil. He is quite a good referee."

At this time, Director Zhang interjected, "If I remember correctly, he should be the third Italian referee to enforce the World Cup final."

"Yes, before it was Sergio Gonella, and the bald referee Collina that everyone is very familiar with. Rizzoli is the third and the most influential referee in Italy now."

Director Zhang nodded, "Yes, this game determines the leader. It is only natural to arrange the best referee to enforce the law."

"Okay, now we can see the starting lineups of the two teams."

"First of all, Juventus, the goalkeeper is Buffon, the defense is Evra, Chiellini, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner, the midfield four players are Marchisio, Pirlo, Hernanes and Guarin, and the double forwards are Berardi and Quagliarella."

After Huang Jianxiang introduced Juventus' starting lineup at the fastest speed, Director Zhang commented again.

"Juventus insisted on playing four backs in the European competition this season. In this game, they played four four two. The intention is obviously to maintain the balance and rigor of the formation. Therefore, it is obvious that they still attach great importance to the threat from Inter Milan."

"Yes!" Huang Jianxiang agreed, "Inter Milan's formation is four two three one."

"The goalkeeper is Handanovic, the defense is Alex Sandro, Juan Jr., De Vry and Darmian, the midfield is Blind and Khedira, the front is Felipe Anderson, De Bruyne and Dybala, and the lone striker is Aubameyang."

After the introduction, Huang Jianxiang asked a little strangely: "Director Zhang, the lineup of Inter Milan in this game is a bit strange. Blind was promoted to the midfielder, partnered with Khedira in the midfielder, and Juan played the left center back first. What do you think?"

Director Zhang said without even thinking about it: "This season, Inter Milan has used Blind to play as a defensive midfielder several times, and his performance is not bad, mainly because of his passing, which is quite good. Partnering with De Vrij in the defense, he can provide the team with stable play and organization in the midfield."

"Well, many people say that after Klopp came to Serie A, Inter Milan's style is different from that of Dortmund before. The tactical style is more varied and balanced, and sometimes they even start to control the ball."

"Hey, hey, that's indeed the case, this change is obvious!" Director Zhang smiled iconically.

"During the International Champions Cup this summer, WeChat Video once organized an event. Not only did some foreign world famous coaches be invited to participate, such as Bielsa, Guardiola, Ancelotti, Enrique, Klopp and Koeman, etc., but also many domestic first-line coaches."

"With so many world famous coaches gathered together, the topic of discussion must also be related to football tactics. I was particularly impressed that Bielsa mentioned that he believed that the practice of confining players to a certain point on the pitch or a certain area is outdated."

"What do you mean?" Huang Jianxiang asked.

Anyway, the game hasn't started yet, and they still have some time to chat.

"It means that the tactical trend now and in the next few years is that players have no fixed position and no fixed area. They play different tasks of the team, and their responsibility is to complete the task."

"I don't quite understand!" Huang Jianxiang shook his head and laughed.

"To put it simply, this is an upgraded version of the concept of transposition. The position is completely blurred. Players choose their positions according to their own tasks, according to the ball, goal, opponent, teammates and space, and then expand the formation."

Upon hearing this, Huang Jianxiang immediately said, "This is a bit like Saki's idea back then."

"Yes, this set is very similar to Sacchi's concept back then, but now it is obviously going a step further, that is, using ball possession and running to create gaps between the defense and the midfield. Once a player catches the ball in the gap, other players will immediately surround him and form a numerical advantage in a local area to launch an attack."

"So, at first glance, Inter Milan's formation is [-], but in fact, if you pay more attention during the game, you will find that in many cases, they can be [-], [-], or even [-]. There are many changes."

"As for the forward line, it is one way to use Aubameyang to play in the middle, another to use Pellet to play in the middle, another to use Dybala to play the wing, another to play the second striker, and Morata, he can play in the center or on the wing. The entire frontcourt offensive routine is completely messed up."

"Even, we can often see that De Bruyne in the center is No. [-], but he can change positions with the left and right wingers forward, and can even be on the top as an attacker. After a delay, he can retreat to participate in the organization, and then advance with the ball. He is too comprehensive, so he performed very well."

When Huang Jianxiang heard this, he immediately understood, "So this game Juventus is on the defensive!"

"Yes, such a team is too difficult to defend, you don't know what moves he will make!" Director Zhang laughed.

"However, last season in the hands of Mazzarri, this team only ranked fifth in the league."

Director Zhang chuckled again, "So Mazari should dismiss get out of class, even he got out of class a bit late. I guess the management of Inter Milan had asked him to dismiss get out of class long ago, but they couldn't find a suitable one. Later, I met Klopp, and after an agreement was reached, get out of class."

After a pause, Director Zhang said: "Actually, Klopp's tactical concept is very advanced, and it must have been influenced by Bielsa. When it is placed in Serie A, it means that the advanced beats the backward, and the backward will be beaten."

"So, Inter Milan is sure to win?" Huang Jianxiang asked with a smile.

"No, no, it's not necessarily."

"Then why?"

"Advanced does not mean a sure win, and lagging behind does not mean that you will definitely lose. The key depends on the players' performance on the spot."

At this point, the referee finally blew the whistle to start the game.

"Friends of the audience, friends of the audience, this is a WeChat video. What we are broadcasting for you now is the No. 16 round of the Bundesliga in the 2-[-] season. The leader Juventus played against the No. [-] Inter Milan in the league."

"It is Huang Jianxiang and Director Zhang who are in charge of explaining for you."

"It was Inter Milan who kicked off first, quickly pass back, Blind, and then pass back to De Vrij."

"We saw de Vry take the ball and signaled his teammates to press on, very general style."

Director Zhang smiled, "De Vrij is the best central defender in Serie A this season. He has continued his outstanding performance in the World Cup. He can be regarded as the pinnacle of Inter Milan's defense. He has excellent defense and strong ball delivery ability, especially long passes."

Just as he was talking, he saw De Vry suddenly make a mid-range and long pass, and accurately transferred the ball from the back line to the center line, and landed on the right side of the front field.

Dybala took the ball close to the right, and when he stopped, Aubameyang ran over to respond immediately.

After a pass between the two, Dybala successfully turned around and pushed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

With a low pass, the ball sticks to the right sideline of the penalty area and goes to the bottom line. Aubameyang sprints quickly.

"Aubameyang's speed is too fast, let's see how he will handle this ball!"

"Take the ball, go into the penalty area, suddenly knock back..."

"Dybala takes a shot..."

I heard two bangs and wows at the scene, almost at the same time.

Dybala's shot was blocked by Buffon from the bottom line.

"This shot is very threatening, Buffon's emergency rescue at a critical moment!"

"Buffon is old and strong, and he is still very reliable. Hehe, but just now, Aubameyang's sprint was too fast, which caused Juventus' defense line to be messed up. The sudden knock back before the baseline should be a tacit understanding."

Speaking of this, Director Zhang sighed, "Dybala's shot was very threatening, but unfortunately, he failed to score."

After the first shot failed to work, Inter Milan did not continue to press and press Juventus in the frontcourt as in the past, but retreated appropriately and deployed defenses around the center line outside the 30-meter area of ​​Juventus.

"Now many teams in Europe no longer adopt the high-pressure tactics of the past, such as Southampton, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​oh yes, there are also Hamburg, Monaco and Atletico Madrid. The current Inter Milan obviously also has this attitude. This should be regarded as another change in the mainstream European tactics in the past two seasons."

As soon as Huang Jianxiang finished speaking, Director Zhang immediately picked up, and the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

"This is indeed a trend, because now the defensive ability is strong, and it is hard to say whether the ball can be intercepted when pressed up, but it is too dangerous from behind, and a long pass can hit the back, so it is not easy to use."

When Director Zhang said this, he laughed again, "Let's see, Klopp has to run ahead of Aubameyang. Only by running more and pulling more can we create opportunities. Therefore, we can't press too high."

Just as they were talking, the Inter Milan midfielder successfully intercepted the ball again and passed it to De Bruyne. After taking the ball, the latter turned and got rid of the defender, and quickly dribbled the ball forward, immediately forming a three-on-three situation in the frontcourt.

"Very good, there is a chance, De Bruyne, through behind, to Dybala, cross to the goal, Aubameyang..."

"Oh, such a good opportunity, it was missed!"

"Hey, Aubameyang's kick is a little bit deliberately chasing the angle, because he saw Buffon, so he wanted to hit the lower left corner of the baseline, but he was too chasing the angle, a little bit less, the ball hit the post."

"Director Zhang, the game is only 4 minutes now, but Inter Milan has already made two very threatening shots. Look, what is the situation of Juventus in this game?" Huang Jianxiang asked.

It stands to reason that this Juventus is the overlord of Serie A anyway, but why does it look like it is being suppressed by Inter Milan?

"Hey, what about this? First of all, it must be said that this is the characteristic of the two teams. Inter Milan advocates this kind of active offensive play, while Juventus is relatively safe, and the formation is also the main defense."

"One more thing I think, Pirlo seems to have a problem."

"Pirlo?"

"Yes, the pass error just now was made by Pirlo, which is not like his usual level."

"This……"
