497. The return of the Milan star

In the 2013-14 season in history, this was Masimiliano Allegri's last season in coaching AC Milan.

No, this can't even be called "a season" because he was fired by Berlusconi as a scapegoat for his poor record during the winter break.

Yes, the summer transfer window only gave 20 million euros, and the boss himself was still deeply involved in various negative news. The team would be sold to the mysterious Oriental businessman at any time. How could such a team achieve results?

Although Allegri is not a top coach, he is not a mediocre person, because Long Shute has long seen the brilliant achievements he created in the system at Juventus, and he has some advantages.

For example... he actually doesn't like to follow the player's butt to supervise training like Heinx.

-

On this day, a loud voice came from the Milanello training base.

"Massimo!"

Team leader Ambrosini heard a familiar voice:

"Are you too old to run? Even my daughter can't stop you from defending like this!"

Although he could no longer be the main force in Milan today, Ambrosini, as the captain, was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed.

Not only did he laugh alone, Kaka, Abiatti, Abat, and even Balotelli, whose laughter was different from others, all smiled.

"Ivan, why do you guys have time to come to the first team?"

Ambroseni even patted each other's head intimately, and the two seemed to have no gaps.

“That’s…”

Long Shute asked clearly.

Kaka answered him seriously:

"Gnaro Ivan Gattuso, you were Milan No. 8 before."

-

Gattuso's information has already been in front of Long Shute. After leaving Milan, he coached Sion in Switzerland and Palermo in Serie B one after another, but they were both fired by the team in a very short time. Obviously, his performance was very bad.

Berlusconi also invited him to coach Milan's youth team like Inzagi, but he decisively refused.

In Gattuso's words, if he is invited, he must be the head coach of the first team. He would rather be the chicken head than the phoenix tail.

——Although Long Shute didn’t know who gave Gattuso such great courage.

He is a defensive player who has just retired, what qualifications are he qualified to become the head coach of a team immediately?

Even superstars like Guardiola and Zidane must hone their positions as assistant coaches and youth training team coaches before becoming head coaches...

Perhaps it was because of the cruel reality that he was so angry that when AC Milan club experienced great turmoil, Galliani once again invited him on behalf of the team. This time he finally accepted this not generous invitation.

"According to the club's senior management arrangements, starting today, Gnaro officially joins the first team coaching team."

Allegri took the lead in expressing his welcome, and he even acted relaxed:

"Now I don't have to worry about no one taking care of the team's defense."

Gattuso did not appear alone. He also visited the training base with him, the team's legendary captain Paul Maldini, who was also officially absorbed by the Chinese management and became the team's technical director.

This is not only a means of decentralization from Galliani, but also the best way to buy the charming hearts of the football players. In addition, Maldini's love for Milan is also very willing to use his own efforts to help the team get out of the trough, not to mention... the new Chinese boss knows what it means to be a wise man and visit the cottage three times - even if it is a performance, he recognizes it.

When the news of Maldini and Gattuso returning to the club was announced, the Italian fans who were disgusted with the Chinese boss finally gave up their resistance. After all, the new boss not only seems to be very ambitious, but also attaches great importance to the club's tradition. Apart from having no money to continue buying people, there is nothing to criticize for the time being...

Of course, everything has to be spoken with strength. If the team's performance does not improve or even get worse, then even if the club invites Maldini's father out to take charge, he will be pushed to the ground by angry fans!

-

"careful!"

"Stop him!"

There was a scream from time to time on Milanello's training base, and the sources of these sounds were all around Longshute.

They are practicing offensive routines according to Long Shute's suggestion to further enrich the current tactical system.

Balotelli is not unaware of a player with extremely fast speeds. His running speed is not slow at all. But every time he sees Long Shute sprinting from him with all his might, he still feels like "I am not a human being, I am a little turtle."

Why can this Chinese person run so fast?!

It would be fine if you run so fast, after all, Bolt is not worse than him, but who can explain why he had just sprinted fifty or sixty meters, and then saw that the ball was lost, and then he braked and turned around and chased for more than thirty meters. He even destroyed another fast horse, and the little Pharaoh Salave broke through the wing?!

Don’t you need to take a breath when sprinting back and forth?!

Even Jamaican Flyingman and Lightning Bolt have to breathe heavily after completing the 100-meter sprint, right?!

This person must be dissected and studied!

-

"Hey, everyone, let's see, what is stealing? What is interception? This is called the essence of defense! How can you, a group of Italians, let a Chinese teach you how to defend? Do you have a little bit of national self-esteem?!"

Defensive coach Gattuso pointed at the players and criticized them with a look of regret:

"If it weren't for my serious visual damage and I couldn't see Long Shute's legs clearly, and I was afraid of accidentally kicking him out of my legs, I really wanted to go on the battlefield and let you see what real defense means!"

Maldini, who was standing on the sidelines chatting with Allegri, also sighed:

"To be honest, Long's physical fitness is really enviable. He never seemed to know how tired he was!"

Allegri just nodded, but didn't say anything, but just set his eyes on Long Shute who was running up and down.

Of course, this kind of training competition will not make him feel tired.

But what if you meet top-notch opponents like Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona?

Since you have chosen to take on more responsibilities, you must be mentally prepared!

-

On August 19, the last warm-up game of the new season - the Italian Super Cup is being staged fiercely at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Last season's league champion Juventus and Italian Cup champion Lazio are fighting for the first championship trophy of the new season.

Unlike other commercial competitions, both sides attach great importance to this event and have sent out the strongest lineups. Everyone hopes to get a good start for the new season.

This game also attracted the attention of the whole of Italy - as for the attention of the whole world, it must not be attracted.

Even the entire AC Milan team watched the live broadcast of the game from a height of thousands of miles above.

"Juventus is still stable!"

When Tevez scored Juventus' fourth goal in the 60th minute, a sigh came from the cabin.

As a Milan fan and coach, everyone hopes that the Zebras will fall hard on the Blue Eagles, but the steady old woman disappoints the other 19 teams in Italy.

"Pirlo played very well."

Someone even muttered.

Allegri, who was sitting in the front, seemed to have changed his face slightly.

Even the blind man could see that Pirlo played an irreplaceable command role in this Juventus midfielder!

But such a midfielder master was not favored by him. He first talked to Pirlo and hoped that he would retreat to the second line and be willing to be a substitute. After being rejected, he decisively cleaned him up. However, no one expected that Pirlo, who left Milan, would usher in another glorious period at Juventus...

Every time he saw Pirlo directing Juventus to conquer the city, Allegri felt a burning pain on his face.

He subconsciously glanced at Long Shute not far away.

Although the game has lost its suspense, Milan's new core still stares at the TV screen very seriously.

-

There are not many highlights in the game between Juventus and Lazio, because it has become a one-sided offensive and defensive exercise.

Klose still failed to break his embarrassing record of not being able to score goals in eight games against Juventus, while Juventus blossomed more points, setting the Blue Eagles' defense line into a sieve.

Long Shute was indeed watching the game very seriously. For him, this was the first time he watched the official contest between Italian teams.

In the 1990s, Serie A, where stars gathered, was once known as the "Small World Cup". With the outbreak of the telephone gate incident and the decline of Italy's overall economic situation, Serie A gradually declined.

Big-name stars have left one after another, the market is weak, the attention has dropped sharply, the stadium attendance has repeatedly hit a low, and some once-famous clubs are even on the verge of bankruptcy.

During this period, the reason why Serie A was still ranked among one of the four major leagues was not only because of its inherent background, but also because of their tactical level.

When the Premier League relies on fierce internal competition, La Liga relies on Real Madrid and Barcelona superstar matchup, and Bundesliga relies on Bayern to attract attention, Serie A can only rely on its rich tactical style to barely maintain its position in the world.

But in Long Shute's view, those remarks claiming to be "the best in Serie A tactics in the world" are definitely exaggerated.

Except for a few teams such as Juventus, most Serie A teams may not be able to compete with teams of the same level in other leagues in tactical levels.
