Inter Milan s new coach three unexpected attempts: Encourage the big center to dribble the ball, and the midfield core is replaced by AC Milan position

It has been a long time, and Italian media are discussing it every day: Lukeman.

Most of the messages I receive from Lao Tie are: Lukeman.

However, in Lukeman's deal, if you want to break through the deadlock, you have to wait for an opportunity. Today I will talk about some things about football itself.

The Milan Sports Daily published today uses more space to introduce what happened in Inter Milan training. The situation of three players is worth paying attention to, namely Cialhanoglu, Luis Enrique, and Pio Esposito.

First is the rising star Pio Esposito.

The Golden Boot of Serie B last season showed good center characteristics in this summer's Club World Cup and the previous 7-2 victory over Inter Milan at Inter Milan U23. Many tacticians point out that since Vieri and Luca Tony, this may be the "good seedling that looks like the best big center."

However, if you want to ask which coach on this planet knows Pio best, Zivo is one. After all, Zivo promoted Pio, who was 17 years old, to be the captain at the U19 level. This summer, after Zivo took over Inter Milan, the Blue and Black Army made a decision to directly keep the young man to play a rotation striker.

The Milan Sports Daily pointed out that Zivo does not intend to limit Pio - this young man who is called "New Vieri" by Italian media - to the position of "stand center". In training and competitions, the coach encourages Piodo to try dribbling and outsmart people without fear of mistakes. At the pre-season press conference, Ziwo also said: "Pio has broader prospects and more possibilities, and I hope he can always be down-to-earth." When Pio participated in the 2023 European Youth Championship (all 5 appearances), he was still "playing with the ball", and he also received a lot of praise from Italian media because his success rate was as high as 100%.

In the two seasons of Serie B, Pio's success rate in the first year was 31.8%, and in the second year it reached 36.7%, which also made progress, but it was not as conspicuous as the progress of other skill points.

Interestingly, according to DAZN, in the second half of Inter Milan's 7-2 defeat of Inter Milan U23, Archerby opposed Pio's retreat and getting the ball, but shouted at him, "Standing in the penalty area and protecting the ball."

Inter Milan's veteran's statement and coach's requirements seem contradictory, but in fact, it should be compared with the game situation at that time - Inter Milan beat up his opponent at that time, and there was a stable suppression point in the penalty area, which helped the whole team more. In the current football world, there are fewer and fewer pure center forwards, and the power forwards who break out must also be more comprehensive.

The coach encouraged Piodot to try dribbling, which also pointed out his future improvement space. The team's big brother reminded him that he was firmly in the penalty area at that time, and the purpose was to help him read the game situation better.

No matter what, the team has high expectations for Pio. Nowadays, 2-3 people joining Pio in the team competition often happens. It can be seen that teammates have taken him more and more seriously and have begun to treat him as a "corner".

Then it is Louis Enrique.

Q: Under Ziwo, where will Enrique play?

In Inter Milan's 7-2 defeat to U23, Enrique played at the right-wing back, which is Dumfries' position.

In the team test game the next day, Enrique changed to the left wingback.

Next, Enrique played the attacking midfielder in the 3421 system and moved more in the middle lane.

In other words, Zivo let Enrique try each position in the left, center and right of the frontcourt. As for whether we hope to help him find a "comfort zone", or hope that this Brazilian new player will become a "frontfield universal patch" in the new season, it remains to be observed later.

One thing is certain: Enrique performed very well in the training field. In the team confrontation, he easily broke through Damian and other teammates to score. This is quite common recently.

In addition, Cialhanoglu.

Team reporter: For several consecutive days, Zivo has allowed Cialhanoglu to serve as the front midfielder behind two forwards - that is, he moved his position forward 30 meters (compared to last season).

" Milan Sports Daily commented: "Zivo may hope that Calhanoglu will provide the team with the 'unpredictability' in the frontcourt. This is like going back in time. Calhan played back to his position in AC Milan, although we don't remember his performance during that period. Perhaps it is because the coach believes that the deployment of the 'offensive trident' will affect the offensive and defensive balance in the midfield and backcourt. However, using Calhan, who has the ability to return to defense, is one of the three halberds, supplemented by using three pure attackers in special circumstances (the opponent is weak, or urgently needed to score a goal), will be different."

In summary, after Zivo joined the team, Inter Milan's training volume increased significantly, while the team was also trying various new routines, which caused heated discussion.

Not every coach has the courage to make a keen change in the routine of reaching the Champions League finals in the past three years.

Whether this change is a blessing or a curse, it is difficult to judge at present. But one thing is certain: the more new attempts, the more fans can’t wait to see if these new routines can work on the real-life field!
