Lazio gradually found their own rhythm, while Milan was led along by Lazio's pace, forced to react passively time and again.
Faced with this situation, Ancelotti realized the danger and called Chen Zhong over to the sidelines, directly and frankly expressing his demand!
Tackle! Tackle them!
With Gattuso injured and Maldini suspended, there was a lack of a powerful player to act as the "steadying force" for Milan.
This steadying force needs to act as the team's "core" in defense, the "lubricant" in organization, and the "spearhead" in attack.
In Milan's lineup, neither Pirlo, Beckham, Seedorf, nor Kaka could shoulder this responsibility; only Chen Zhong could do it.
Tactical fouls, tackle!
Make the match fragmented!
No matter how, disrupt Lazio's rhythm, don't let them attack wave after wave comfortably, while Milan can only passively respond.
This is Ancelotti's test for Chen Zhong, and it's the first step in building a new tactic around Chen Zhong.
"He can do it!"
