Chapter 403: The Lazy League Cup
Chapter 403: The Lazy League Cup (Page 1/1)
The heavy cloud of Ronaldo's tragic knee injury once again weighed on the hearts of everyone in Milanelori, and when the team went to Norway to play the last 32 of the UEFA Cup three days later, Zhuo Yang and his teammates still did not ease up.
Early the morning before yesterday, the Milan laboratory held a press conference, and journalists from all over the world filled the Milanello press room and the road outside. The Milan laboratory disclosed Ronaldo's injury and said that it would immediately start negotiations with Ronaldo about surgery. Club CEO Galliani personally appeared at the press conference and told the media that Ronaldo's injury will not affect AC Milan and his contract renewal plans, and everything will go according to plan.
AC Milan's attitude has won praise from all over the world, but everyone's main concern is whether Ronaldo can race the pitch again. Regarding this, the Milan laboratory did not give a clear answer either, saying only that everything depends on the operation and the efforts of the 32-year-old Ronaldo himself.
When the team left for Norway, Ronaldo also decided to go to Paris for surgery, where he received his second complete rupture of the patellar ligament in his right knee eight years ago. Brazil's national television team was sent to report on Ronaldo's operation and the post-operative situation.
Yesterday morning, Ronaldo, accompanied by his girlfriend Maria Béatrice, personal physiotherapist Bruno and Milan laboratory doctor Sara, Milan away to challenge Norway's Bamba Rosenborg, the clinic is one of the most famous hospitals in Europe, Princess Diana was sent here after a car accident that year.
However, Dr. Sejan, who personally operated on Ronaldo eight years ago, has retired, and he will accompany Ronaldo as a surgical consultant this time, and the chief surgeon will be Dr. Sejan's eldest disciple, Enrique Loren.
The surgery is expected to take two hours, which is about the same time for a race.

In the 2007-08 UEFA Cup, AC Milan was the only Italian team in the round of 32. In fact, from the start of the group stage, AC Milan was the only one left. The other three all fell in the third qualifying round, failing to even make it to the group stage in which 40 teams participated.
Palermo was eliminated by Czech Republic Boreslav 0-1; Sampdoria lost to Denmark Aalborg due to away goals; Empoli suffered a 4-2 defeat over two legs to Zurich, Switzerland. All three teams have made a splash in Serie A, but in Europe, they have all lost to non-big teams.
The decline of Serie A is not the decline of the top three in the north, but the decline of the mid-table teams, who are no longer competitive in Europe. The glory of the once 'Little World Cup' is precisely due to the majestic 'Seven Sisters'. Back then, any Serie A team in Europe would have made everyone feel like a big enemy.
The third of the eight groups of the Champions Cup will form the round of 32 with the 24 teams that have qualified from the League Cup, but there is no Serie A in those eight teams.
However, the four teams participating in the Champions Cup are not shabby, except for the embarrassing Lazio bottom group, Inter Milan, Roma and Fiorentina have all reached the round of 16 of the Champions League, and Inter Milan and Fiorentina are still promoted to the top of the group.
There were no big upsets in this year's Champions Cup, and all the traditional giants and stars successfully qualified, which also made AC Milan's figure in the League Cup so eye-catching. Truth be told, UEFA actually wants Milan to go on more than AC Milan themselves, and Zhuo Yang and Kaka can compete with the stars of everyone in the Champions League round of 16 combined.
Milan's opponents today are Rosenborg who came from the Champions League, losing to Chelsea and Schalke 04 in Group B, but beating Valencia to finish third.
Rosenborg is the equivalent of Manchester United in the Norwegian Premier League to the Premier League, either winning the Norwegian Premier League every three or five times or one in a row. With 16 league titles in the last 19 seasons, including a horrific 13 in a row, Rosenborg would be meaningless if he weren't called a dominant player.
Norse mythology, one of the world's six major mythological systems, is actually Norwegian mythology, and Rosenberg rules the skies of eastern Scandinavia like the mythical god Odin. In the Middle Ages, repression from the Roman Empire destroyed all Norwegian myths that were considered heretical, and now AC Milan from the Apennines will not be able to easily sweep away Rosenborg.
At the Lekendal Stadium in Trondheim, Norway's third-largest city, AC Milan had more than 70 per cent possession in the first 23 minutes of the game, but they conceded first in the 24th minute.
Jankulovski was fouled on the left flank while defending Vidal Rieses and gave a free-kick. Slovakia midfielder Makhré Zapara came out and the close Kaladze didn't follow up and full-back Kopinnan stabbed past Dida from five yards.
Maybe it's because of the cold weather in Norway, it's more because of Ronaldo's surgery that worries everyone, AC Milan players are out of shape, and so is Zhuo Yang. He, like his teammates, has a slightly higher footwork in front of the Norwegian's intertwined brass walls, but he can only focus most of his energy on ineffective delivery, and he has not much to attack creativity and inspiration.
Milan's forward line today is partnered by Jiuye Inzaghi and Pato, Zhuo Yang plays the front midfielder in the virtual right and the real middle, and the old good Kaka is the false left and the real in the middle of the virtual left. Behind them is the gold medal combination of Eight Masters Gattuso and Pirlo.
Up front, Inzaghi's form can't be mentioned, and it would be strange if he was good now, and Pato has recently started to pull back after his initial period of excitement as a rookie. But compared to Paloski, who is his age, the technical Pato can still contribute to the team in other ways, even if he is not in good form.
In the 57th minute of the second half, Zhuo Yang and Pato exchanged positions on the field, and Pato interrupted the football with the opponent's retreating winger Traore.
Last November, the English media, led by The Sun, ranked Pato second in the top 20 rookies, and the penultimate on this list was the 19-year-old Burkina Faso striker Abdou Traore. In the battle between the two eldest and second oldest, Pato, who is one year younger, has the upper hand.
After breaking the ball, Pato used his skill and speed to shake off Traore's counter-attack, and on the counter-attack, he crossed with Kaka diagonally. Kaka picked up the ball and didn't wait for the bottom to cross at 45 degrees, and Zhuo Yang and Inzaghi cut forward at high speed, one in front of the other and stuck in front of the running position of the three central defenders.
The 1.93-meter-old central defender Strand was stunned that he couldn't jump past Zhuo Yang, and Zhuo Yang threw the football into the goal after spreading his wings and standing up.
1:1, this away draw is both lazy and quite difficult for AC Milan, it's not that they don't want to win, but there doesn't seem to be much motivation to win or lose in their hearts. It's not that you can't beat the other party, but it doesn't seem to have many ways.
After the game, there was also the latest news from Paris: Ronaldo's patellar ligament surgery in his left knee was a complete success!
