Chapter 439: Milan's Goal

"In the next round of the league, if AC Milan, who are fighting for the title, can beat defending champions Juventus, then manager Zaccheroni will join the ranks of Milan's best managers."

These are what Galliani himself said to reporters.

AC Milan's final two games were at home to relegated Empoli and away to Perugia at bottom of the table, so AC Milan president Galliani said this week, "As long as we beat Juventus, the title will be ours." ”

AC Milan are still one point behind the leaders Lazio, but Lazio are facing stronger opponents at home to Bologna on Sunday, then away to third-placed Fiorentina and finally at Parma.

Serie A Seven Sisters, no one dicks! What should come will always come, and you can't hide from it!

If AC Milan do win the title, head coach Zaccheroni will join the gold medal coach who won the title in his first season in charge of AC Milan. In the history of Milan, there are only four such coaches, and they are Viani in 1957, Rocha five years later, Sacchi in 1987 and Capello in 1992.

Like Rocha, Zaccheroni is also a native of Padua, while similar to Sacchi, Zaccheroni also started out as a small team in the lower leagues.

He has coached Parma, which is still in the second division, as well as Rimini, and two years at Venice before managing Bologna, Cosenza and Udinese in the first division.

Rocha invented the famous concrete defensive system and counter-attacking play, Sacchi established a reputation as an authority on football, and Zaccheroni created the 343 attacking formation at Udinese between 1995 and 1998, which revolutionized Italian football.

The past game showed that Zaccheroni's luck was no worse than that of Sacchi, with the Sampdoria player scoring an own goal in stoppage time to allow AC Milan to be lucky enough to take all three points. Such a fortunate thing made Lazio helpless.

According to the statistics of Milan Sport, AC Milan have scored in stoppage time in five games this season to win.

At this point in the season, the once-glorious old lady is facing a regroup.

The Bianconeri, who were hoping to compete for the treble at the beginning of the season, only retired after Piero was injured, and even the silver fox Lippi could not adjust the team.

In this way, the former meritorious coach was "honored" off because of the team's poor record. After Lippi stepped down, Anceeroni quickly took over. So far, Juventus have lost all their possible championship trophies.

Juventus have been in the void of the big four this season, but the Old Lady is a good litmus test for those teams that have recently flourished to expose their "naivety".

Among those teams are Parma, including Lazio.

In particular, Lazio's 1-3 defeat exposed that the Blue Eagles were only strong on the outside, and they were just empty on the outside.

According to Sport, Juventus, who have all four of them this season, have actually announced the early end of the league, and they are now focusing on the trivial matter of buying players and how to keep Zinedine Zidane.

With three rounds of the league remaining, Juventus, who have not won the Champions League for many years, has made Zinedine Zidane, who has already won the World Cup, restless, and he desperately needs a Champions League title to complete his Grand Slam.

The current Juventus has just changed its manager, and Zidane does not see any hope of a resurgence in the team.

Carlo Ancelotti will have to spend at least one season to move the squad, and how many years will Juve have to wait for Juventus to win the Champions League again?

Two years? Three years? Or is it longer?

Zidane couldn't sit still.

Although he has repeatedly assured outsiders in the media that he will not leave Juventus; But in fact, he has a good relationship with him, and those who are in regular contact with him know that the Bianconeri can no longer keep the French striker with a Mediterranean hairstyle.

In addition, AC Milan and Juventus have always had a good relationship, and in Milan's centennial celebration and the key battle to win the championship, it makes sense for Juventus to come up with an inconsequential league game to "let Milan go".

And these days, there are paparazzi who photograph Berlusconi's mount often entering and leaving Lachili's mansion, and the frequent contact between the two high-level leaders can't help but make people think about it.

Are they planning something?

Are they manipulating Serie A?

Are they doing some dirty PY deals in private?

Are they really like what they seem, clinking their goblets around?

The frequent contact between Milan and Juventus at the top level touches the hearts of every Italian fan.

Especially those fans who have already bought a lot of shares in the Blue Eagles and have bet all their savings on Lazio to win the title.

They began to systematically take to the streets, marching to protest against this "unsportsmanlike" behavior.

As a result, the Juventus players are nothing, and the pressure on Milan's side has surged.

But in reality, the situation at Juventus is not as advertised by Sport, and the old lady still has hope of qualifying for the Champions League.

So against AC Milan, they will naturally give it their all.

But another reality that cannot be ignored is that Juventus are short of players in this game, defenders Juriano and Mirkovic are suspended, and the key man in the midfield, Davies, who used to play for AC Milan, is also unable to play due to suspension. Zinedine Zidane, on the other hand, will not be able to play for the rest of the season because of a knee injury.

The new footballer is scheduled to travel to Strasbourg to undergo surgery by a doctor he trusts. His knee injury came after the UEFA Champions League in Athens in March. He will have surgery on his right knee, from which the doctor will remove bone fragments.

Against such a Juventus, the AC Milan players are full of confidence for this game, and German striker Bierhoff said: "We want to win, and beating the defending champions will give everyone a warning." ”

On the other hand, Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome will not have an easy time.

Although the visiting Bologna team has lost two games in a row, their head coach Mazzoni has coached Lazio's city brother Roma, so he is also very familiar with Lazio.

And Bologna striker Signori scored 107 goals in 154 games when he was at Lazio, but Eriksson was ruthless in driving Signori out of Lazio last season, and Signori has long held a grudge.

This return to the Olympic Stadium in Rome will definitely be the best revenge with a goal.

Lazio were not without good news, with the next round being their most well-organized moment of the month.

Argentine midfielder Olmeda and defender Favali are both out of suspension and available. Miha and Stankovic have also compromised with the club, promising to do their best to finish the final match.

Eriksson, on the other hand, will not want to repeat the same scene in 1986, when Roma lost at home to relegated Lecce in the penultimate round of the league and saw the title pass away.

This time, everyone was watching him to see if he would let the cooked duck fly off again.

At club level, preparations were similar, but the players were subjected to the biggest harassment in the last few days. The reason for this is the contact between the Milan hierarchy and Juventus, which has terrified fans who want Lazio to win the title.

In the past few days, Ou Chuliang's BMW has been "attacked" by fans three times. Two of them were fans rushing up directly with "human bombs", which scared Ou Chuliang to slam on the brakes; Another time it was a hippie spraying black and white stripes around Ochulian's car with spray paint, and even stepped on his engine cover and shouted: "You're just a goalkeeper, are you going to score goals in the game?" ”

The intentions of these fans are also obvious, you high-level private "calculations", then we will use yang conspiracy to make your players unable to train and live well.

The players were overwhelmed, after all, no one knew which of them were real fans and which were sent by Inter on the other side to make trouble.

Seeing that the Milan players couldn't sleep well and trained badly, the Inter fans enjoyed it and enjoyed it.

In desperation, Zaccheroni had to stand up and refute the rumors: "... So far, I have never received any instructions from me about the club pairs. They said to me four games ago: 'Aberto, you'll take care of the rest'. ”

"The club has absolute faith in me and I will repay the club with a trophy."

"I don't think about anything else, I don't listen to it."

"As for the photo you said, isn't it legal that the presidents of two football clubs can't be friends? Is it stipulated that before the two teams meet, the president of the club is not allowed to drink and chat together? ”

Zaccheroni's "unreasonable" remarks left the reporters speechless, and some clever reporters also heard a hint from Zaccheroni's words.

Berlusconi made a good move!

In fact, for Berlusconi, he doesn't need to talk to Ranli personally at this juncture. Even if it's really dirty, it's okay to communicate over the phone.

As for driving there with such fanfare and having it photographed by media reporters, it was actually to build momentum and throw a smoke bomb before the game.

Silvio Berlusconi and Larni really don't have to say anything, they just have to toast a few rounds in the restaurant, and the reporters who captured them will naturally make up some of the fan's favorite words based on their expressions.

In this way, the nervousness is naturally Lazio.

Of the three teams standing in front of Milan, only Juventus are left with enough weight to snipe Milan. If Milan can trample the old lady under their feet, who of the remaining two teams can stop AC Milan?

Serie A is turbulent, and the championship is confusing.

At this juncture, all the Milan players concentrated on training and did not accept any outside interviews.

On 5 May, Parma drew 2-2 away at Fiorentina in the second leg of the Coppa Italia final. Due to a 1-1 draw at home in the first leg, Parma won the Coppa Italia with more away goals.

This is the first time they have won this title since 1992.

Parma's young coach, Malesani, was in charge of Fiorentina last season. He also led the team to defeat Fiorentina in the league, with the Coppa Italia being the first honour of his managerial career.

At the same time, his teacher Trapattoni's dream of winning his 21st title was also in vain.

Malaisani was almost incoherent after the match, and in the face of the horde of journalists, he simply said: "It was a really wonderful moment. Then he pushed through the crowd and rushed into the stadium to celebrate with the players.

Crespo also said after the game: "To win at Fiorentina's home stadium, it is natural to fight fiercely, I think we should win the title. ”

You know, this season, fans have seen Crespo score with his heel more than once.

Batistuta shook his head regretfully, saying they had done their best: "It was a tense and exciting game, Parma's never-say-die screams prevented us from holding on to a 2-1 lead, and it was understandable that they won the title. ”

For both teams, there is little chance of winning the Serie A title this season.

Parma's Coppa Italia trium was a blessing in disguise, as it automatically qualified for next season's UEFA Cup, where they could qualify for the European Cup if they maintained their current league standings.

And if they can beat Marseille in Moscow to win the UEFA Cup in the UEFA Cup final on 12 May, the season will undoubtedly be a success for them.

On the other side, on the other hand, Fiorentina's defeat in the Coppa Italia was tantamount to a complete defeat of the season.

Whether it's the halfway title in the league, the final of the Coppa Italia, or the brilliant performance in Europe. At this moment, all in the cheers of the Parma, Trapattoni could only accept the result of the four being empty.

The purple lily, which once bloomed with dazzling light, completely withered after the Coppa Italia final.

......

On May 9, outside the Alp Stadium, many people held up AC Milan flags and posters.

In the centre of the most prominent poster is a family photo of AC Milan this season, which fans have brought out to show the world that Milan are determined to win the title.

Three hours before the start of the game, a steady stream of Milan fans poured into the stadium.

This is not an unusual.

Turin is sparsely populated, the Stadio Alp is not a professional football stadium, and there is a rubber track off the pitch. Even when Juventus play at home, it is rare to get full.

So it's not unusual for so many Milan fans to come today, but it's not surprising that the Alp Stadium, which has always been deserted, tends to be filled.

And so it is.

Everyone knows the importance of this game, especially those Chinese fans. They came from afar to simply cheer for Ou Chuliang and other three international players.

As for Milan winning the championship, it was just an "accessory".

Milan fans are also surprised, turning over this group of fans who are also dressed in red are also on the side of Milan, and that is enough!

They couldn't understand what these fans were shouting anyway.

The home commentator sat down early, took the microphone and began to introduce the situation in the stadium.

'It's definitely a passionate game, Juventus fighting for European qualification and Milan fighting for the title.

"Ancelotti must be very eager to prove himself and prove that he is no worse than his predecessor's Lippi!"

"You must know that the silver fox Lippi resigned after the San Siro lost to Milan."

"But I don't think Carlo Ancelotti will be too risky, after all, the most anxious is the visitors. They are also one point behind Lazio and will be desperate to seize any goalscoring opportunity in search of victory. ”

"And all we have to do is hold on and wait for Zaccheroni to make the first move, and then fight back to kill them!"

"The people who decide the game may be Thierry Henry or Ou China, one is the French rookie who joined Juventus in place of Piero, and the other is the best goalkeeper in Asia. Whoever wins between them may be the result of the game. ”

"After Europe broke the Serie A record for clean sheets, Milan have won four games in a row."

"Today, I believe Maldini will put his personal glory on the line and win the match even if he fights to the death."

"In this regard, I just want to tell the home team not to be careless and not to be seized by Milan..."

After a while, players from both sides stood still in the pitch and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

"CCTV TV, CCTV TV..."

"Viewers and friends are welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 32nd round of Serie A this season."

"At the beginning of the game, we saw that AC Milan had a chance to score!"

"My mouth is fast enough to say this beginning..."

Huang Jianxiang was a little confused, Milan's goal happened too quickly, so fast that his emotions had not warmed up. Just said the opening point and Leonardo scored.

Looking at the Milan players who rushed to the sidelines to cheer and celebrate, it took a while for Huang Jianxiang's cells to start agitated.

Oh my God, the away team scored so easily against Juventus?

Are Milan going to win the title???
