Alberto Gilardino is 24 years old this year, and he, along with Roma's 23-year-old De Rossi and Juventus' 21-year-old second brother Montolivo, are recognized by Italian football as the three leaders of the Apennines' young generation, and are the only hope for the aging Italian national team. The U21 that leveled the whole of Europe that year, and to this day, there are three of them senior talents.

Speaking of which, Zhuo Yang and Gilardino are old rivals, as Madiburg eliminated Gilardino's Parma over two legs in the quarter-finals of last season's UEFA Cup. However, Gilardino, who happened to be injured at the time, only ran for about 80 minutes at home in the second leg, which was already behind by a large score, while Zhuo Yang scored three goals for Parma in two legs.

Gilardino scored 23 times in the league that season, a statistic for the second year in a row, and although he failed to win the top scorer in two seasons, he was lured by AC Milan last summer for a whopping €24 million by virtue of his strength as the best player of the year in Serie A. Although it is not comparable with Zhuo Yang's 78 million large satellites this year, Berlusconi, who has always spent money but has always paid a penny, has been able to rank among the top five in the history of the AC Milan team.

Last season, Gilardino scored 17 goals in the league, which looked good, second only to the nuclear warhead Shevchenko's 19, but he has not scored anything in Europe, which is a bit of a chill. He's an opportunistic point-grabbing striker who is basically useless if he doesn't have goals to back him up.

Speaking of which, Gilardino is a bit similar to Inzaghi, don't look at Inzaghi's thinness, but Gilardino is not as strong as Jiuye's confrontation ability, and the work under his feet is more detailed, and the fulcrum role is more obvious. Of course, Gilardino doesn't have Inzaghi's ghostly movement and glamorous dancing on the blade.

All in all, Gilardino is always a little bit away from the top center, and it feels like a bit of a meal.

Before Gilardino came to Milan, because of Shevchenko and Inzaghi's excellence, AC Milan's attacking core has always been a midfielder around the forward line, but the situation changed last season, and the background of Kaka's rise is Shevchenko's state correction and Inzaghi's gradual aging, and AC Milan's attacking core has gradually shifted to Kaka. The ninth master became a substitute, and Shevchenko's position was also retreated, and many times it became a strange running position as a wing forward.

Gilardino's declining goal rate and even Shevchenko's departure are actually tactical reasons in these aspects.

In the new season, because of Zhuo Yang's strong joining, AC Milan's tactics have also changed again, and the attack will become a dual-core for him and Kaka, technology + assault, and this is not from Ancelotti's tactical board, it is a political task assigned by Prime Minister Berlusconi, which must be completed unconditionally.

When it comes to the manager who listens to his boss the most, Carlo Ancelotti is the number one in the world.

As a result, Gilardino is even more marginalized in the attack, and he is a striker who must rely on the number of goals to show his existence.

He himself is a very introverted and quiet person off the field, and he is very bad at communicating with his teammates. Therefore, Gilardino, who likes to keep everything in his heart, made an honest mistake, and the few times he did not pass the ball in the first half were intentional, so that Zhuo Yang continued to be in the limelight of last season's goals, and it was difficult for Gilardino to survive in the Milan forward line.

Zhuo Yang is still ignorant, he has experienced too little relationship between the team and football, although the four-year career has achieved remarkable results, but it can never be said to be well-informed. But the rest of AC Milan are all veterans, and they can see everything in a glance, including Carlo Ancelotti.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, after Gilardino once again ignored Zhuo Yang's movement, AC Milan assistant coach Giovanni Mauri muttered to Ancelotti: "I don't know."

Mauri has been an old man in Carlo Ancelotti's coaching team since his time at Parma, a solid right-hand man. Although Carlo Ancelotti thought more than he did, it was clear that winning this game was the most important thing.

AC Milan made a substitution, with No.9 Inzaghi replacing No.11 Gilardino. This move caused the whole stadium to cheer at the San Siro, and the "Milan Sports Newspaper" once said: Only one player can cause the San Siro to boil just by warming up, and his name is Filippo Inzaghi.

Inzaghi is one of the best strikers in the history of football. With that alone, he can rely on a skill frame that doesn't score 7 points in all other areas to carve out one of the top strikers in the world.

Inzaghi's positioning, like Einstein's "Theory of Relativity", is too advanced, only he can fully understand and comprehend himself, and even teammates and opponents can't see him most of the time, and when he can be found, Inzaghi is already like an immortal ghost emerging from the grave, standing in front of most of the empty door, stretching out his feet.

Inzaghi walked up to the pitch and stood loosely next to Red Star centre-back Bisevac, except for the fox-like cunning eyes that rolled, the 33-year-old Inzaghi was like a high school repeater who ate by his face, unremarkable.

Pirlo passed to Seedorf, but Seedorf didn't have a chance, so he handed it to Kaka, who didn't have a hard burst and suddenly shifted to Zhuo Yang on the wing. At this time, there was a sudden occurrence - Inzaghi suddenly turned around and ran, and instantly crossed the entire defense line of the Red Star team. Bisevac didn't even bother to pay attention to him: running is so enjoyable as if he can have a ball for you? Yes, it is also offside.

Inzaghi has been hailed as 'the man who survives on the offside line' and the 'peerless dancer on the blade'. He alone accounted for more than 90% of the team's offside positions. Eight of Inzaghi's 10 sudden cuts were ruled offside, and of course, there were misjudgements. There were two left, one in vain and one in vain.

Inzaghi spotted an opportunity when Kaka shifted his big foot just now, and although he was almost 100% sure that his teammates could not understand his thoughts, Inzaghi still habitually turned over and ran.

- I'm just running mine, it's not about anyone else, and no one in this world can fully understand my football anyway.

No one expected, not even Inzaghi himself, that when he had just rushed into the penalty area and was about to shake his head to stop and walk back, the football suddenly appeared 1.5 meters in front of him.

The smell of a top shooter, Inzaghi has no brain at all. The extremely comfortable ball allows him to not even adjust his stride, he shoots when he pulls his legs, and the football goes into the net.

The ball went in, and Inzaghi reacted: What the hell? I couldn't help but be a little stunned. Red Star goalkeeper Landlovic is simply inexplicable, he hasn't figured out what's going on. A group of Red Star defenders hurriedly raised their hands to signal Inzaghi to take the ball in an offside position, and the referee Lorient also quickly looked at the linesman, while the linesman Charlotjema Zhengping held a small flag and ran desperately towards the halfway line.

The goal works! AC Milan 1:0, the first touch of the ball after the game, the goal, Inzaghi ran to Zhuo Yang, only felt that his back was creepy.
