ps2: Let me talk about the book friend group here, the group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verified answer is ntr knight, um, that's it.

"Well, please let me think about it first..." Hearing Zoff's question, Maldini didn't answer immediately, but chose to remain silent. He needed to use this time to calm down. Think about it.

For the head coach to ask himself about the team lineup, Maldini is still very comfortable in his heart.After all, this shows that Zoff attaches different importance to himself than other people in the national team, which makes Maldini, who has always felt that the Fiorentina gang is too powerful and threatens his right to speak in the national team, feel very uncomfortable happy.

Therefore, in return for Zoff's trust, Maldini did not take the opportunity to reap benefits for AC Milan and his allies Juventus, but chose to tell the truth.After all, it is related to the team's qualifying for the group stage. If he talks nonsense or has selfish intentions on it, if Italy is eliminated from the competition, it will be more than just Zoff who is to blame...

"Judging from the team's performance in these two group matches, I personally think that everyone has done a pretty good job. The current configuration of the team is quite perfect. What is lacking is just that tacit understanding and tactical routines. After a while, Maldini, who had initially cleared his mind, said, "Our defensive and forward configurations are the best in the world, so naturally we don't need to make any more adjustments. Even if you think it may be Become a weak midfielder, with the abilities of the three of Francisco (Totti), Demi (Albertini) and Andre (Pirlo), it is enough for us to control the situation in the midfield. Moreover, Demi Although Andre is not good at confrontation with opponents in defense, their running ability enough to cover the entire midfield, as well as their excellent defense and anticipation ability can make up for this very well. So I think, A full-time defensive midfielder only needs to choose one of Tomasi and Di Biagio, there is no need to let them both play at the same time, because doing so will only reduce our control over the game."

Different from history, with the rise of Florence and the dazzling record of winning various trophies, Italy's traditional fast counterattack tactics based on reinforced concrete defense have been greatly impacted. On the contrary, Florence's set of On the basis of a solid defense, strengthening the ability and passing accuracy of the midfielders to ensure the success rate of counterattacks has been sought after by many teams.The most typical example is that the Italian national team based on Fiorentina players has won the World Cup and the European Cup in the past four years, enviing countless players and coaches from other countries.

Under the influence of Fiorentina, the Serie A teams have also started to change.They are either thinking about how to restrain Viola's tactics, or learning from Florence to learn this tactical play that strengthens the passing ability of midfielders.Instead of being like before, after successfully intercepting the opponent's attack, the backcourt players just make a casual kick to clear the siege, and then wait for the forwards to grab the ball in the frontcourt and counterattack.

After all, the Italians are quite realistic in football. They will not give up any possibility of winning for the sake of the so-called tradition, but will choose what is beneficial to them and absorb them into the existing tactical system, and eventually become a team. A more advanced tactical style of play.

Take the chain defense system that the Italians are most proud of. Since this tactic was pioneered by Herrera, the meritorious coach who single-handedly created the great international era, after so many years of accumulation and precipitation, yes, Italy is now The chain defense theory used has changed a lot compared to the original version when Herrera proposed the chain defense.

It is precisely for this reason that Maldini values ​​Pirlo and Albertini, who are accurate in passing and good at timing passing, rather than midfield engineers such as Di Biagio and Tomasi.After all, with the two success stories of Fiorentina and Italy, no one would be so stupid as to have to put only one goal in the midfield.Of course, with the exception of Zoff, a rookie who has been away from the job of the head coach for a long time, many of his tactical ideas are actually still stuck in the 80s of the world...

Therefore, even if Zoff didn't come to consult Maldini, I'm afraid there must be someone who is responsible for reminding him, otherwise he might make some jokes again. It has become a topic of conversation for many fans after dinner, and it has also made Italy's faces dull.

"So, then our next task is to grind the current lineup into shape as quickly as possible?" After hearing Maldini's statement, Zoff rubbed his chin and asked thoughtfully.

"That's right." Maldini nodded firmly. He knew that at this time, the opponent must extinguish these thoughts that would easily cause confusion to the team. Changing and forming a tacit understanding among the players is the top priority!"

In fact, Zoff felt a little regretful when he heard what Maldini said.As a traditional Italian coach, he prefers to use the nine and a half players like Piero and Totti and the powerful center forward like Vieri as the team's main firepower, rather than pure players like Inzaghi. opportunistic striker.

It's no wonder, after all, in the era when Zoff played, the teams he played had such a top nine and a half players, such as Bettega, Paolo Rossi and Platini, etc., so Naturally, he has more affection for the legendary position of No. [-] and a half.

(Note: In the tactical environment in Italy at the time, Platini, who had both top-level organizational and scoring abilities, did play No. 60 and a half. Because Italian football basically does not have the concept of a midfielder, the core of the frontcourt organizer Players generally have strong scoring ability, such as Rivera and Mazzola in the 70s, Bettega in the 80s, Paul Rossi in the 90s, Roberto Baggio in the [-]s, etc.)

Therefore, in Zoff's conception, he would prefer to let Vieri change a partner.For example, if you team up with Pierrot, the zebra prince who can pass and shoot, you can let Montella come if you are not good enough. You have to let Inzaghi, a striker who doesn't even know how to carry the ball except for shooting, what is the cooperation with him? ghost?

But now, seeing that Maldini also supported Vieri and Inzaghi to start together, Zoff had no choice but to let Pierrot start, obediently obey his captain's advice, and prepare for the final game honestly. A group match, no longer pondering about changing formations.
