Chapter 174: Return to Milan
On the morning of April 20, he returned to Milan from Rome, and after he arrived in Milan, he did not return to his home but stayed in the hotel, and then came to the club to report non-stop, and the Milan club did not show too much surprise at his appearance, and was not at all stunned to know that he and the Pope had met in the prayer chapel the day before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And it is precisely because of this incident that Ai Huan's reputation in Milan has rebounded, various newspapers and websites have stopped criticizing him, and the fans have also remained calm, and even after Ai Huan joined the training, they did not create boos.
At this time, everything in Milan is very bad, and the atmosphere in the team is quite depressing, after all, everyone knows that the head coach is leaving next year, which is a feeling that everyone can't write, after all, they have been working with a head coach for a long time, and most of their level is already clear, and then they have to start all over again, and all the previous efforts have been in vain, which can not but be said to be a more disgusting thing, but what can they do as players?
For Ai Huan's sudden return to the team, everyone's performance is also different, and the fact that he has not appeared here in the past few weeks has made many people more unfamiliar with him, such as Ambrosini and Pirlo, who have long handed themselves over to Milan, are not willing to say a word to Ai Huan at all, only Abate, Huntelaar, Xiao Luo and a few others have greeted Ai Huan.
After the training, Ai Huan deliberately practiced for a while, and then he got the lounge to change his clothes, and sure enough, most of the people had already left at this time, leaving only Abate waiting for him with a smile, and when he saw him come in, he asked, "Dude, you've been in the limelight lately! Tell me how you met the Pope?"
Ai Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How could I know such a powerful person? Everything is purely coincidental, and I only found out that he was the Pope when I was leaving." Then he told the story again, but he didn't say anything about the Pope's words of persuasion, and finally couldn't help but say, "People are really knowledgeable, worthy of being well-read and wise old men, and the words they say really make people feel that every sentence is on the point." ”
"What the hell did he tell you? Don't tell me you came back because of what the Pope said? You are sensitive now, even if it is for Milan to win back the championship, no one will be grateful to you. ”
"I'm coming back for myself, I'm not here because of Milan, this time I want to be happy with football, I'm coming back because of this, and I'm going to do my best because of this, whether I stay here next season, whether I'll stay here tomorrow or not, I'll give my all today." ”
Leonardo, who was standing at the door, wanted to come in, but when he heard Ai Huan say this, he couldn't help but stop, and suddenly smiled after a while, "This guy seems to understand better than I thought, since you have figured it out, then you don't need me to say anything." After talking to himself, he turned and left.
On 25 April, the Milan squad arrived in Palermo for the official start of the 35th round of the league, after Inter Milan had already finished the game and had won at home to level the score. However, the outside world has not been optimistic about Milan, because Palermo have maintained a home unbeaten run this season, and even Inter Milan and Roma have also sunk here, and Palermo still has a chance to finish in the top four, so they are ready to take out Milan, who have been in poor form recently, in Palermo.
Milan Bonella and Ambrosini are suspended, Abate and Flamini are injured and cannot play, and some other injuries have not healed, so Milan can only pull out a remnant to face the menacing Palermo.
Leonardo's lineup is also stretched, goalkeeper Dida, defenders from left to right Zambrotta, Odo, Silva and Antonini, midfield is guarded by Gattuso, Pirlo and Jankulovski, the forward guard is Seedorf, and the forwards are sent Ronaldo and Huntelaar, Ai Huan did not appear in the main lineup, but sat on the bench.
However, everyone knows that Ai Huan's inability to appear is not because he is being suppressed, but only because of a little lack of physical strength, and the consecutive weeks of vacation have made him in a very poor state, and he can only be used as a surprise soldier.
Palermo were ferocious on their home turf, taking the lead after just ten minutes when Gattuso tackled Mikoli. Mikoli took a free-kick against the wall, but Liverani took the ball again and Hernandez's header was blocked by Antonini. Mikoli took another corner from the left, Migliaccio rubbed to the back post, and Beauvo's left-footed half-volley was saved by Dida but still watched the ball go into the net, and the score became 0-1.
Unexpectedly, as long as he sat on the bench, Ai Huan, who would not have any expression, actually reported regret with a group of young people around him, looking very disappointed, which made many reporters feel very interesting and took a wild shot at him.
It wasn't until the fifteenth minute that Milan threatened for the first time when Jankulovski combined with Ronaldo to kick the wall and fired a low left-footed shot wide of the right post.
Two minutes later, Barzaretti crossed from the left, Hernandez headed in from the middle and Nocerino volleyed high with a right-footed volley from the left.
And a minute later, Palermo expanded the score again, Hernandez broke the ball from the feet of Odor and passed to Mikoli, Mikoli went straight in the middle, Hernandez volleyed the ball with his left foot into the bottom right corner, 2-0!
Milan missed a must-score in the 26th minute, Zambrotta's cross from the right was deflected to the feet of Huntelaar, and the unmarked Huntelaar took possession of the ball and turned and fired a right-footed volley that was confiscated by Sirigu! In the 31st minute, Ronaldo crossed from the left again, and Pirlo's extremely erratic shot was unexpectedly lifted by Sirigu with one hand. Then Milan took a corner and Pirlo crossed from the right and Huntelaar headed wide.
However, after Milan's three axes, Palermo once again took the initiative, and launched a wave of attacks in a row, each time it was almost a goal, Milan's back line was too old to crawl, only Silva was left alone, and although Odd ran desperately, but after all, he was not familiar with this position, so when the opponent's firepower was all focused on him, he was very difficult to lose a little bit of the original majesty.
Milan, on the other hand, can only threaten the opponent with counterattacks, but because the midfield and midfield are all old guys, it is not so comfortable to play quickly counterattacks. (To be continued.) )
