Chapter 372: Wolves Visit
Whether Ou Chuliang is ready or not, Zaccheroni has no time to adjust to Ou Chulian, because Zaccheroni himself does not have much time.
And for Ou Chuliang himself, he also needs the experience of the league, he also needs to cultivate a tacit understanding with his teammates in the game, and he also needs to learn and grow in the league.
Win or lose.
Under Zaccheroni's "duck catch", Milan played against Venice and Cagliari, two teams that had just been promoted from Serie B, and won 2-0 and 0-1 respectively.
After one win and one draw, Milan fell directly to sixth in the Serie A standings. This is the minimum place to get in Europe, and it is the position that the media unanimously believes Milan "should" strive for.
Ou Chuliang's two games were generally lackluster, with no bright performances when he won and no obvious fault when he lost. Looking at these two games from the position of a goalkeeper, it is difficult for Ou Chuliang to make the headlines.
The focus of the fans was on Bierhoff as a striker, and he scored when discussing Milan's win.
Six league rounds have passed, and Bierhoff is temporarily leading the Serie A scorers chart with six league goals. The six goals were also characteristic, with five headers and one penalty. While the media joked that Bierhoff was a new German bomber, he was simply incapable of scoring goals with his feet in a sports battle.
In late October, just as other teams were busy fighting on the third front, there was another problem in front of Zaccheroni.
Two matches in a week, two opponents are very strong.
Whether to give up the cup was another difficult decision for Zaccheroni.
"Oh, tomorrow is still your play." Looking at the starting list posted at the door of the locker room, George's happy mood was almost written on his face.
Counting this game, Ou Chuliang has started three games in a row, and there has been no discussion among fans about the Milan goalkeeper during this time. If nothing else, Ou Chuliang will continue to play in this position.
Everyone seems to have accepted the Chinese European Union to guard the door of Milan, after all, Milan spent six million this season to "snatch" him from Napoli, and the performance was decent, and everyone did not want to create pressure for no reason.
On 25 October, after making two league starts, Acchulian was fully dressed for the third time at the San Siro Stadium for Milan. On this day, he opted for gloves from the Absolutgrip series, which Yousbao had already returned to the factory to change twice at the request of Ou Chuliang. Even Bissinger sat anxiously in the stands before the game, and he didn't want Ou Chuliang to mess everything up today.
Today's game can be regarded as a "thorough test" for Ou Chuliang, after the "warm-up" with the two weak teams, he once again faced the champion opponent, whether Ou Chuliang can hand over a satisfactory answer to the fans, this has become the focus of many people. If Milan play the same game as they did against Fiorentina, it doesn't matter if Zaccheroni withstands the pressure and continues to use Acchulian, what matters is whether Zaccheroni himself should hand in his resignation.
......
In the tunnel of players, players from both sides are already standing in two rows, and there is no communication between them. Occasionally, they look at each other, and they all grin, showing friendliness.
There has been a debate about which is the largest city in Italy, Rome or Milan.
Some people say that Milan is too crowded, there are many thieves, and the law and order is not good; But it is also said that Milan is more artistic than Rome.
Geography textbooks introduce Milan as the second largest city, and in terms of population, Milan has more than 300 W, while Rome has more than 400 W. However, Milan, as the economic center of Italy, is surrounded by satellite cities, while Rome is mostly surrounded by rural areas, forming a large urban agglomeration.
In football, Milan has two strong teams, AC Milan and Inter Milan, and Roma also has two strong teams, Roma and Lazio. If you compare the two, you really can't tell the high.
Although Milan's opponent today is Roma, a significant number of the fans who came to the San Siro today are Lazio fans.
Like Milan's relationship with Inter, Lazio and Roma are rivals. What the team hates, what we stand for!
And Milan's opponent in the Coppa Italia three days later is none other than Lazio.
Therefore, Lazio fans are hoping that Milan will play a lose-lose game with Roma today, and their home team will take advantage of the fisherman. So in today's neutral stands, about 3,000 Lazio fans came to cheer Milan on.
Facing the Roma duo within a week, no one knows whether Zaccheroni will choose to give up on the former, the latter, or neither.
.....
"Good evening, fans and friends, this is CCTV TV, and I am the host Huang Jianxiang. Sitting next to me was Zhang Lu, a guide. ”
The Serie A Mini World Cup is well-known, and almost every round of matches has a classic matchup. As the highlight of the sixth round, the match will be broadcast from two cities and CCTV, as well as Sky Sports and a large number of local sports channels.
It is also worth mentioning that in the Italian national derby yesterday, Juventus received two red cards at home and defeated the opponent in the 87th minute with Del Piero's penalty. Although Davies was sent off in the 90th minute, Juventus lost Zinedine Zidane in the 50th minute, which almost ceded the victory to their opponents, but Inter did not take it.
The defeat of their rivals away from home did not excite the Milan fans too much, and if they did not perform well today, the Inter fans might have scolded Milan for "tarnishing" their home stadium as they did last time.
"Today's match is the second highlight match of the sixth round of Serie A, Milan vs Roma."
"I'm sure the fans have been looking forward to this game for a long time, and who will win the final victory." As early as a week ago, CCTV 5 previewed this Italian focus battle.
"There will also be another Coppa Italia match broadcast live on Thursday at 10pm, between AC Milan and Lazio, so fans are welcome to come and watch it on time."
"Okay, now that the players from both sides have appeared outside the tunnel of the players, let's introduce the players from both sides who started today."
"AC Milan, who are playing at home, is still in a 343 formation, and during this time, Milan's main goalkeeper has been replaced by the familiar teenager Ou Chuliang, and today is his third start for Milan. Judging by his expression, our youngster should be very confident that he will have a consistent performance today. ”
There is a characteristic of the commentator when introducing the goalkeeper, and it is important not to say that I wish him "a great performance". If you really support this team, the most hopeful thing is that the goalkeeper never appears in the camera.
"In the back three, from left to right, there are Ngotti at left centre-back, Costa Curta at centre-back and Captain Maldini at right-centre-back. After N'Gotti's move to Milan, Maldini voluntarily relinquished his familiar left-back position and stepped back to the other side. For a player of Maldini's calibre, the left center and back three positions are played correctly, and there is almost no impact. ”
Next up were the four players in the midfield, and they were Christian. Zigger, Albertini, Boban and Helwig. This is the first time Zige has appeared in the starting line-up since his move to Milan, Ziger's previous position at Bayern was also a left-back, but due to the presence of N'Gotti and Maldini, his position can only be moved forward, and it is not known if he will adapt to his new position today. ”
"In the forward trident position is still George Weah, and Milan's goals are thanks to Bierhoff and Leonardo. Of the three, only Bierhoff has the most secure position. ”
"Let's take a look at the visiting Roma starting XI."
"Roma coach Zdenek. Zeman is fielding a 433 formation, which he has been honing for a year at Roma, which also finished fourth in Serie A last season. ”
"The goalkeeper is Antonio. Chimenti, who only moved to Roma from Serie B side Salerno this season, meant that both sides fielded a new goalkeeper on goal today. ”
"The four defenders are Wome, Petrucci, Zago and Aldair."
The three midfielders are Francesco, Tomasi and Daniel. Courtney. ”
"The three strikers are Totti, Del Vecchio and Paulo Sergio."
Just as Huang Jianxiang had just finished introducing the starting list, a hot welcome suddenly sounded at the scene.
Milan's home fans waved red and black flags, and the sound of cheering for the home team resounded throughout the sky at the San Siro. The voices were mixed with the ridicule of some Lazio fans, while the cries of the Roma fans were completely drowned out.
"Milan, Milan, I just want to support you!"
"Milan, Milan, forever for you!"
The fans sang the Milan anthem loudly, as if they wanted to break the will of the attacking Roman warriors.
Since he came on the field, Ou Chuliang put away his warm smile, shook hands with his teammates, took a group photo, and then walked alone to the back of the team.
This is a tough battle, on the way to the championship, the only thing the "Serie A Seven Sisters" can do is to "kill each other"!
And a goalkeeper needs to be on the other side of everyone on the pitch.
......
"Beep!"
With the referee's whistle, Milan kicked off first.
The three strikers formed a sharp trident and charged into the Roma half after the whistle.
Albertini won the ball and took a small step or two in the centre circle before waiting for three Roma players dressed in white to get up and then he chose to give the ball to his wide team-mate on the right.
Hellwig came up and pushed a cross directly over the top of the ball, Leonardo chased after it slowly, and could only watch the ball pop in front of him under the card position of the Roma defender.
Roma goalkick!
"Roma are playing very smart!" Zhang Lu praised, "Reasonable use of the body to card the opposing player behind him, so that the opponent is helpless." It seems that Roma came prepared today, and it is not so easy for Milan to win! ”
Of course, this was just a tentative phase for both players after the opening.
Roma defender Wome then kicked a powerful diagonal long pass, which crossed most of the pitch and smashed on the line of the penalty area, which was caught by Ouchulian with both hands before Totti chased the ball.
After a series of short passes, Milan tried to penetrate the middle with ground balls, but the Roma defenders stepped up the scramble in the midfield, and the sudden ferocious package in front of the big penalty area made the Milan defenders return in vain. But then they counter-attacked a little hastily, with an outside instep volley that didn't control its power, leaving Del Vecchio's sprint to no avail.
Facing the oncoming ball, Ou Chuliang did not directly stretch his legs to catch it, but slowly retreated and retreated, his eyes constantly looking for his teammates.
Seeing Ou Chuliang's appearance, Delvico is not rushing, nor is he not rushing.
If you rush, this is obviously a "trick to lure the enemy" by the opposing goalkeeper, and if you don't rush, he obviously has not fulfilled the responsibility of a striker.
After hesitating for a moment, with the idea that he had just started with a lot of physical strength anyway, Delvicio took a step of his legs and rushed towards Ou Chuliang.
Ou Chuliang had retreated to the vicinity of the small penalty area at this time, and stretched out his right foot to block the ball. Facing Del Vecchio who rushed up, Acchulian was still observing the position of his other teammates. It wasn't until the Roma striker was in front of him that Acchulian suddenly bent down to pick up the ball, then quickly rushed past Del Vecchio and threw the ball far away to Maldini, who was pulling wide.
Seeing this, Del Vecchio pouted and cursed and muttered: "Cunning Chinese!" ”
Maldini, as a defender, did not stick to the ball too much, and immediately passed the ball to Albertini in the middle after winning the ball. The latter stuck in the sight of the Roma centre-back, took advantage of a reverse turn to split the ball, and continued to dribble forward.
"Beautiful!" Huang Jianxiang praised this getaway, "Albertini is like having eyes behind him!" ”
Just as the home fans and the announcers applauded Albertini's escape, Tomasi suddenly stepped in front of Albertini and tackled the ball to his team-mates.
In the next second, Conte kicked the ball forward with a big kick after winning the ball, and in the face of the incoming ball, Del Vecchio once again stepped up and sprinted with his legs.
However, the quality of Conte's hasty pass was still not high, and Ou Chuliang, who was a step behind the penalty line, barely needed much effort to hold the ball firmly.
After Del Vecchio shook his head and left, Acchulian shouted at Maldini: "Backwards, backwards! ”
Maldini looked suspiciously at the team in front of him, and none of the players were watching him. But he knows one thing that Ou Chuliang hardly chats with people on the court, and every time he speaks, it is an "order" from the goalkeeper.
"Is there a problem, Ou?" Maldini shouted.
"Delay, delay!" Ou Chuliang shouted as he threw the ball to Maldini, "There is too much space here!" ”
What does it mean to have a large gap?
Maldini didn't have time to think about it, he needed to get it to the front as soon as he got it. One thought made him put Ou Chuliang's instructions behind him for the time being.
Less than three minutes later, Maldini knew what Ouchulian meant.
It was another Milan attack up front, with all seven attackers already jumping over the halfway line. Unfortunately, Roma were very aggressive in their scrambling at the edge of the penalty area, and Bierhoff was a typical stumping centre-forward who could not play any role in receiving and protecting. After breaking the ball, Petruch took a look at his team-mate's position and sent in a long pass with his left foot again.
Precise long passes!
The Roma's long ball once again broke diagonally through all of Milan's defence, and as it landed on the turf with the camera lens, people were horrified to find Totti, wearing the number 10 white shirt, appearing in front of the ball at some point, striding forward with his right foot.
At this time, Maldini fell behind Totti's two positions due to too much pressure on the attack, and although Costacuta in the center was still running in front of Totti from the horizon, the lateral distance between him and Totti was about five or six meters away, and when he stuck to the defense, the daylily was cold!
This kind of diagonal shift is very troublesome for Ou Chuliang if there is no teammate to intercept the ball in the middle of the game.
The first two balls were over-passes, and although Del Vecchio was in front, Occhulian could retreat into the box and easily get the ball. But when the Roma delivered a long ball of great quality and a team-mate stepped forward in time, Milan immediately fell into passivity.
Facing Totti, who was almost single-handed, Ou Chuliang suddenly stopped when he retreated two steps before the line of the small penalty area. Gritted his teeth, rushed forward and abandoned the door!
The previous retreat was to observe the running position of his teammates, but now Ou Chuliang does not retreat, because he knows that he can only rely on himself at this time!
"A quick counterattack from the Roma team!" Huang Jianxiang's voice trembled, and he saw the danger at a glance.
At this time, Totti was already unstoppable, unless Ou Chuliang, who was standing in front of him, could perform a miracle!
In the frightened eyes of Milan fans, Ou Chulian strode forward. He quickly fell to the ground and rushed towards the ball as he spread his arms to extend his defensive range as much as possible.
Looking at Ou Chuliang, who was "spreading his wings", the calm and calm Totti raised his toes, and before he caught up with Maldini and knocked him away, he actually made a four-tael punch!
"Totti's pick!"
Ou Chuliang gritted his teeth, and the ball flew past his left hand, and he could clearly feel the touch of the ball rubbing against the latex gloves. The next second, he continued to extend his right hand, hoping to intercept the ball.
Syllable!
There was a soft muffled sound in the Milan penalty area, and the index and middle fingers of Ouchuliang's right hand stabbed under the ball in the final moment.
"It's over!"
Ou Chuliang let out a long sigh, and even so, he still didn't stop the castration of the ball.
The ball that was clicked by Ou Chuliang quickly fell to the ground, and under the watchful eyes of 60,000 fans, it continued to bounce towards the empty goal of Milan.
One, two, three...
Seeing the bouncing ball bouncing straight towards the far post, a white figure suddenly came out. Rushing to the front and back of the ball, he almost shot the whole person, stretched out his left leg and kicked the ball into the gate with a hard kick on the bottom of his foot.
Costacuta, who also came from the tackle, stepped on Delvicchio, but was still a step too late.
Looking at the ball rolling into the corner of the net, Del Vecchio didn't care whether the kick just hit his vital point, quickly stood up and ran to the sidelines with open arms, which was full of Roma fans raising flags and cheering.
On the rostrum, Berlusconi let out a long sigh and looked at Totti's delicate face: "I knew that I would have stepped up my efforts to sign him in the first place!" ”
