Chapter 167

At the end of halftime, the score of Lyon 2:0 Paris Saint-Germain was frozen on the electronic screen at the top of the Olympic Park Stadium.

In the visiting team's locker room.

"See for yourself, what did you guys do in the first 45 minutes of this game?"

This is Ancelotti's first words back in the dressing room.

"Does nothing!"

As the head coach of the team, he was indeed angry.

After calming down, Ancelotti continued: "I'm not denying your efforts to save the disadvantage after conceding the goal in the first half, but you also have to understand that we performed quite poorly in the first half, which was seen by others. I don't want us to continue like this in the second half."

Looking at Nene, Wang Zi, and Pastore sitting in front of him, and Maxwell on the far right who threw his jersey to the ground as soon as he returned to the locker room, he glanced at the other starting players. Everyone seemed rather depressed.

Ancelotti did not intend to comfort and encourage the players, even though he is best at doing such things. After a few seconds of silence, the Paris Saint-Germain coach said: "Let's talk about our problems in the first half."

Standing in front of the tactical board, Ancelotti kept gesticulating with a pen while saying, "We played badly after the start of the game. Your form seems to be very poor. This allows the opponent to put pressure on us unscrupulously. Before we conceded the first goal, at the front of the penalty area, we were already in position on the defensive end. The second goal was also the same. So this is not all because the opponent's counterattack was too good. The most important thing is that we have a big problem in defense."

"Here..., and here..., these are the places where we lost our position." Ancelotti marked two or three places on the tactical board in a row, then turned to Sakho and other defensive players, and said: "But in fact, we should not have these loopholes, and I think the problem on the defensive end is not due to your technical ability, but the personal problem is the biggest problem, because I have not seen everyone's dedication in defense to help each other defend well."

Ignoring Sacco and others who were still immersed in loss, put down the pen, and Ancelotti continued: "Although Lyon is not as good as Montpellier in the last match, they did something that Montpellier didn't do, that is, they led us by two goals before halftime. something."

"We didn't play to our strengths throughout the first half, which is disappointing."

Throughout Ancelotti's speech, needles could be heard in the locker room. The Italian is very satisfied with this, because he knows that everyone has listened to what he said. Now that his goal has been achieved, he is ready to start his next tactical arrangement.

"Next, let me talk about the arrangements for the second half."

It wasn't until everyone raised their heads that Ancelotti continued: "If we want to score goals, we have to press up and create opportunities by pressing. This will make our offense simple and effective."

"When attacking, don't procrastinate, but don't be too anxious."

"When defending, the entire back line should be a whole. One wins and one loses. Look at your poor performance in the first half! That's not you at all!"

"Players have to be in the right position without the ball."

Ancelotti crackled and gave many orders one after another.

After Ancelotti finished speaking, the unified reply resounded in the locker room: "Understood!"

Nodding, Ancelotti said again: "I have always been strict with football, so since I took office, I have asked you to have a good organization, attack fast, and move accurately. We are a whole and we must have our own system. Although I didn't see it at all in the first half, I hope everyone can do it in the second half."

-

After that, Ancelotti made special arrangements and instructions for individual players. He didn't say much about the team's defense, but just made the entire defensive end play more like a whole. He also believed that Sacco and others could listen.

For Nene and Pastore in the midfield position, especially Pastore, because the Argentine has no confrontation at all, and it is easy for the opponent to use physical confrontation to steal the ball.

In this regard, Ancelotti asked Pastore to make a decision before the ball hits his feet once the rhythm of the game speeds up, otherwise it will be too late. Several Lyon midfielders are tall and strong, and Pastore has no advantages other than flexible skills.

Then, special tactical arrangements were made for Nene, Mene and others.

In the end it was Wang Zi's turn, because in Ancelotti's plan, Wang Zi's role must be maximized. He is the real core of the team's offense.

"The current game puts a lot of pressure on the ball. If you want to cope with it, you have to play faster. Playing high-speed and efficient offensive football is what we are pursuing now. For us, speed is the first."

This is the sentence that Ancelotti said the most when instilling tactical ideas into the team. The speed here does not only refer to the team's speed between offense and defense, but also includes the player's personal speed. Wang Zi happens to be the speed that Ancelotti relies on most in Paris Saint-Germain.

Aside from the attack that Wang Zi seemed a little anxious in the first half, the other time was restricted by Lyon's defenders, and he rarely had the chance to get the ball. Ancelotti didn't want to continue like this in the second half. threat."

This is for the players and also for Wang Zi. At the same time, Ancelotti also needs Wang Zi's running position, not the running position like Inzaghi he coached, nor the off-ball running position like Crespo's running position, but the running position like Kaka he coached.

Therefore, Ancelotti also specially gave Wang Zi a very simple task for him, that is, he must find the correct position when his teammates regain the ball. This position must be the most threatening position when counterattacking.

In addition, once the team loses the ball, Wang Zi must also participate in the defense with the whole team.

-

After the tactics were arranged, it was almost time for the second half of the game to start.

Ancelotti did not do what he does best except tactics until this time.

"After talking about serious things, let me finally talk about non-serious things. I am very happy to be able to work hard for the league championship with you."

"It's my blessing to have you as a team member. You can always listen to what I say, even if sometimes what I say is too serious."

"The current league points advantage is not good for us, because we have no room to lose. Tonight is a tense game. We must work hard to win. Don't think that as long as we don't lose, we will still lose the initiative."

"I believe you will do well in the second half, because both tactically and personally, we have the strength and potential to outperform our opponents."

"We have a strong lineup and we also want to bring joy to the fans, so we must always be vigilant, keep faith and never give up."

"Everyone who supported us expected us to win the league championship at the beginning of the season, which shows that they have great confidence in us, which also means that we must also have great confidence in ourselves, the confidence to win the league championship!"

"Then, in the second half, let's fight for a victory!"
