Nine and a half

Chapter 247 The Demise of Tactical Roles (Daily Transition)

The Champions League semi-final is about to begin.

Sky Sports studio released an analysis program in advance.

Neville, the Red Devils legend who often mocks Manchester City and Gao Qi, is acting out of character.

"Manchester City vs Juventus."

"It won't be as stalemate as it was against Atletico Madrid."

"Do you remember the 06 World Cup when Zidane completely suppressed the entire ' minutes of radical Italy' on the field alone?"

“Times are different.”

"But the tactical core is very similar. I don't know if Gao can reach Zidane's peak control level, but his performance in every game is more stable than Zidane, and Allegri's Juventus is essentially very radical!"

Juventus' defensive statistics this season are good, and in fact, their tactical resources are largely tilted towards control and offense.

What the Red Devils legend meant was very simple: Manchester City is taller and will suppress Juventus on the field.

Snapped.

The small magnetic flag slapped on the tactical board.

"My reason is simple."

"Pirlo is 36 years old. Can he adapt to the intensity of the Champions League semi-finals?"

“The answer is yes.”

"He has shown some glimmers of life. His one-on-one defense success rate is as high as 65%, and he runs more than meters per game."

The host couldn't help but interrupt: "Is Pirlo's defense so good? Isn't it said that he should be given a bodyguard, Gattuso, to do the dirty work?"

"What the hell? What bodyguard?"

"Have you read too much of The Sun?"

Neville was confused and retorted: "In Pirlo's peak season, he regained the ball 5.2 times per game and his single defense success rate was as high as 69%, which is higher than when I was young! Gattuso's skills are not rough, but very delicate, a level higher than when we were young."

"Did you know that Gattuso can deliver an extremely delicate surgical pass?"

"I am from the same era as them, how could I not understand?"

The host laughed.

The audience in front of the TV laughed.

Fans on the Internet also laughed.

Everyone agreed that Neville was bragging.

The combination of Pirlo and Gattuso has long left a deep-rooted impression on people. Could it be that the football magazines of those years were all fabricated?
Neville was not angry and continued to move the magnetic flag.

"Back to the topic."

"The 36-year-old Pirlo is the key to making Juventus radical."

“He’s become that metronome again.”

"The metronome that made Italian football play offensive football in 06"

The barrage in the live broadcast room couldn't hold back.

[Neville Cannon King, the tactical role of Metronome died many years ago. 】
-
[How can the 36-year-old Pirlo have the same forward penetration as the red and black Pirlo back then? What about the metronome? It has been eliminated long ago. ]
-
[What are you talking about? Isn't Metronome a defensive midfielder with organizational skills? ]
-
【no! 】
-
[Try the metronome midfield in the game, it's so annoying, you'll just run around and pass the ball randomly, which doesn't fit the current attack frequency.]

"In a sense."

"Pirlo, who withdrew from the top five leagues a few months later, made a last-ditch effort for Pogba's system."

"Pogba has shared some of the metronome functions in the left midfield. His performance this season is self-evident. Apart from his physical fitness, he is a perfect modern midfielder with no flaws."

"The Bianconeri that Allegri envisioned have been polished and completed."

"Plus Chiellini, Barzagli, Bonucci and Buffon in defence."

"This Juventus team has the quality to compete for the Champions League title."

"it is a pity."

"They met their natural enemy, Gao Qi, a number nine who has Zidane's ability to control the field."

"Just like Italy was suppressed by Zidane back then."

Neville boasted.

The Big Wave host laughed again.

The audience was also happy.

After bragging about the Red Devils legend for a long time, it turns out that he was just praising the core of his mortal enemy.

Quite a number of fans questioned his point of view: because in the 06 World Cup, the French team led by Zidane clearly lost to Italy.

The end of the show.

The host with blond hair and blue eyes ended with:

"2015 is a year of farewell." "Xavi and Pirlo will leave the top five leagues after the end of this season."

"Goodbye, Master."

Condinasa training base, Italy.

The sky is blue.

The clouds are like pieces of cotton candy with some threads still attached.

The nearby buildings were very low, allowing the Apennine wind to gently caress the ryegrass without much obstruction. As it caressed the ryegrass, suddenly a column of water rose up, and the cheerful ryegrass became wet.

The documentary crew is collecting materials seriously.

Juventus is desperate for a Champions League title.

Buffon grabbed the microphone and said: "I dream of lifting the Big Ear Cup."

In the Champions League final twelve years ago, the two sides fought to the penalty shootout. Buffon saved two penalties from the opponent, but his teammates missed three penalties. In the end, they lost the game.

The camera turned and found Pogba.

French genius Heidan dyed the middle tuft of hair yellow and cut the sides of his head into "small circles of yellow spots".

Look at it from a distance.

Like an African hyena.

The microphone was handed to Bonucci.

"Well Paul, I mean Pogba. He works very hard and is very disciplined in his diet. He hasn't been to a nightclub in the past year and there haven't been any scandals."

"Yes, he also respects his teammates and is becoming more and more like a leader. I believe he will become a Juventus legend in the future."

The older brothers of the Zebra Army nodded in agreement.

Even with sleepy eyes, Pirlo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Evra recalled carefully: I really didn't train the little black egg much this season.

The camera slowly zooms in.

Pogba stopped the ball with a look of disapproval.

"Can the media please stop mentioning Gao in front of me every day?"

"I will lead Juventus to win the Champions League."

"After the season, several teammates will leave Juventus. The Champions League trophy is the best farewell gift."

meeting room.

The teaching assistants were engaged in a heated discussion.

Allegri had a serious expression on his face, staring at the tactical manuscript on the table in silence.

Take a deep breath.

He ultimately chose to stick with this season's tactical philosophy.

Counterattack.

Fight against Blue Moon.

A few days later.

The Champions League half-season has begun.

The New Alps under the night sky looks like a piece of black jade glowing with white light.

Black background.

White J symbol.

Gao Qi walked through the Venus Passage step by step.

The passage is very long.

Every 18 meters, there are 1.85-meter Venus tiles inlaid.

Tiles are a legend throughout the ages at Juventus.

Legendary players such as Platini, Baggio, Zidane, Nedved, Piero, Trezeguet and many others were commemorated.

A mechanical and cold electronic synthesized sound sounded quietly.

[Mission trigger: Crazy Zebra! ]

[Mission brief: Radical Italian football? A shield full of barbs? As the inheritor of Italy's authentic number nine and a half, you are the nemesis of this Zebra Army! ]

【The game will be simple! 】
