A round of commentary concluded.
Chiwo was spitting with enthusiasm as he passionately explained~
Finally, he waved his arm, and with a "clap," he closed the laptop with flair!
"I have a proposal, let’s all give a round of applause for Italy’s great tactical master Mancini. He absolutely deserves the title of greatness!"
Everyone was infected by Chiwo’s passionate tactical explanation.
At his call, everyone not only applauded but also applauded standing up!
The applause was thunderous.
It was no less than the applause for Tang Long at the Meazza in yesterday’s match.
Everyone stood up to applaud, except for Mancini who was sitting in his seat.
His eyelids twitched twice.
Then he did his best to squeeze out a smile.
After yesterday’s game, at the press conference, the journalists’ praises made Mancini feel a bit guilty.
What he didn’t expect was that Chiwo would come again this morning with a round of ...
The more Chiwo praised Mancini,
The guiltier Mancini felt inside!
Kovacic advanced to an attacking midfielder, and Tang Long played as a holding midfielder,
This tactical adjustment was clearly suggested by Tang Long and had nothing to do with Mancini!
In fact, at that time, Mancini’s original intention was still to let Tang Long and Kovacic continue to stay in the defensive midfield position, to add a layer of defense for the center-backs, and then hold on to this 2:2 draw.
But facts proved that Tang Long’s suggestion had an immediate effect!
The scales of victory tilted back to Inter’s side again.
Last night, like Chiwo, Mancini also didn’t sleep much.
He tossed and turned on the boat, unable to sleep, and kept pondering.
What kind of positive impact did Tang Long’s change have on the game?
Mancini hadn’t fully figured it out.
But today, after more than half an hour of Chiwo’s video explanation.
It allowed Mancini to have a deeper understanding of this change as well.
It was truly a brilliant move!
As Chiwo said, the depth was instantly opened up, not only freeing Kovacic but also Tang Long himself!
It pulled Inter back from the edge of the cliff.
At the same time, it turned Udinese coach Stramaccioni’s aggression into the last spade of dirt on his own grave.
"Too kind, too kind!"
"Although I’m older than you and have experienced a few more games, as a head coach, there is still plenty of room for improvement, no need to call me great."
"The victory in this match couldn’t have been achieved without the hard work of the entire first team coaching staff! As I have always told you, the coaching team is a unit, football is a sport that brings people together, it holds true for players, and even more so for coaches."
Mancini replied perfunctorily with a few words.
He immediately asked other members of the coaching staff to continue speaking.
An hour and a half later, the meeting ended.
Mancini quietly called Chiwo aside.
"Christian, what do you think of this player Tang?"
"Huh? Of course, he’s an impressive player, indispensable in our squad, his decision-making, his vision, his anticipation all..."
"No, what I want to ask you," Mancini interrupted Chiwo, "have you noticed Tang’s prowess in tactics? You were his assistant coach on the youth team, did he show tactical analysis talents back then?"
Tactical analysis talents?
Chiwo was taken aback, scratching the back of his head, not knowing how to answer.
"Tang is only 18, what kind of tactical talents could he have?"
"At his age, being able to effectively carry out the head coach’s tactics is a great talent already, just like he executed your tactics last night, Mr. Mancini."
