Although AC Milan spent 200 million euros in the summer transfer market to recruit a lot, although the overall strength of the team has improved a lot, but due to the changes in the main framework too much, and the wind of 100 million euros is all because of the participation in the World Championships and the absence of the entire preparation period, even the "Milan Sports Newspaper", which is regarded as the mouthpiece of the team, only believes that AC Milan will qualify for the Champions League, but it is difficult to really shake Juventus's Serie A hegemony.

When AC Milan suffered a "black start" in the league, and faced the relegation team Empoli in the second round with only a difficult one-goal victory, even the most optimistic "Milan Sport" newspaper for AC Milan's expectations changed to "European qualification".

But to everyone's surprise, Feng Quan, who returned to the team after the World Championships in Athletics, not only led the team to win the "Milan Derby" cleanly, but even led AC Milan to create a 5-game winning streak in the league even with a large rotation of the team, thus helping the team sit on the top spot in Serie A.

In particular, the terrifying efficiency of Fengquan's 9 goals in 4 games not only made the entire Apennines crazy, but also shocked the entire European football world.

Although he set a new world record of 56 league goals in a single season when he played for Atletico Madrid last season, when he switched to AC Milan, most of the mainstream European sports media thought that it was difficult for Feng Quan to continue the glory of Atletico Madrid.

On the one hand, there is a big gap between the overall strength of AC Milan and Atletico Madrid; On the other hand, the slower pace of attack and defense in Serie A, as well as the more defensive penchant of most Serie A teams, will greatly reduce Fengquan's goal scoring efficiency.

However, Feng Quan has proved with practical actions that no matter where he plays for which team, he is a "court nuclear weapon" that terrifies all defensive players.

However, Torino Sport, the "mouthpiece" of Juventus, still has a very different voice from most people.

"Although AC Milan has temporarily become the leader of the league with a wave of five consecutive wins, in fact, the gold content of five wins is not very high, after all, except for Inter Milan, the other four opponents do not have the strength to challenge for European qualification. Moreover, except for the three-goal victory over Inter Milan, the winning process of AC Milan in the remaining four games was not smooth or even difficult. ”

"In addition, AC Milan also has a lot of problems in terms of squad depth, once the main players, especially the core of the team like Feng Quan, are suspended due to injury or accumulation of red and yellow cards, it is difficult for their substitutes to fill the void left by the core players."

"In fact, even if they can guarantee that they play all season, their players at right wing-back and right central defender will become a breakthrough in the opponent's attack because of their lack of ability."

"Therefore, it is very difficult to win the Serie A title with AC Milan's current squad configuration, and perhaps they will be robbed of the league leader by other teams without waiting for the run-in of the squad of Serie A hegemon Juventus to be completed."

Although the main purpose of this article in "Torino Sports Newspaper" is to belittle AC Milan and indirectly elevate their own masters, in Feng Quan's view, many of their views are still quite pertinent.

As Torino Sport said, AC Milan still have a lot of problems.

Even if opponents such as Palermo did not dare to invest too much in the attack due to the intimidation of the wind, AC Milan's defensive pressure was significantly lower than in previous seasons, and they were still breached by their opponents in three consecutive games, and all of them were scored from the gap on the right flank.

If it weren't for Fengquan's 9-goal performance in 4 games, they would not have been able to win 5 consecutive games to sit on the top spot in the league.

Although there is no European task this season, the pressure on AC Milan's squad rotation is not very great, but even if Feng Quan does not rely on the strength of the system, he cannot guarantee that he can be in the best condition throughout the season, and other teammates will inevitably miss the game due to conditions, injuries and cards, not to mention that competitors also have the possibility of malicious fouls in the game causing injuries to the main team.

Although Feng Quan can use [Great God's Light] to help the team tide over the difficult time, this will speed up the consumption of Feng Quan's "Physical Status Value". Therefore, [Great God's Light] is more likely to be used in certain key games.

In order to successfully achieve the goal of topping Serie A and even dominating the Champions League, Feng Quan must strengthen the shortcomings of the team's lineup as soon as possible, and at the same time further improve the team's squad thickness.

Although it is possible to wait until the end of the season to secure Champions League qualification before strengthening positions and improving the depth of the squad, it is likely that this will have an impact on the run-in. Especially on the defensive end, if the new defenders can't form enough tacit understanding with Romagnoli and others, they are likely to be directly penetrated by top strikers like Messi and Ronaldo.

Although Feng Quan relied on his huge influence in China and attracted hundreds of millions of euros in sponsorship after entering AC Milan, he spent 200 million euros in the summer transfer period, and the team failed to deal with a number of "high-paid and low-energy" players in time, and the funds that can be used to bring in reinforcements in the winter transfer period are still very limited.

Although there are problems with the team's right side of the defence, considering that the team now only has Nigel de Jong as a defensive midfielder, they will have to focus on the defensive midfield position in the winter, and wait until next summer to strengthen the right wing-back.

Of course, if he can sell some redundant players who are difficult to get a chance to play, the first thing Feng Quan needs to do is also to find a good partner for Romagnoli, after all, he can't always be asked to "wipe his ass" for others.

AC Milan, which has become the league leader with a wave of 5 consecutive wins, although it is listed as the top favorite for the championship by most Italian media, but Napoli, who are playing away, believes that AC Milan's strength is not as strong as their ranking, after all, only Inter Milan can be called a strong team among their 5 consecutive opponents, and the goal of the remaining 4 opponents is basically relegation.

Although Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri believes his side have a better chance of winning, the huge deterrent power of Feng Quan still makes him quite fearful. To this end, he not only asked Callejon to drop back sharply to participate in the wide defense when defending, but also asked the right midfielder Allan to help defend the wind.

Although Maurizio Sarri's three-man defensive team will give the other AC Milan players more space, after careful study before the game, Sarri believes that as long as his team can successfully contain the attack of Feng Quan, and at the same time look at Mandzukic at the front, the other AC Milan players have nothing to fear. Feng Quan and Mandzukic have both scored 12 of AC Milan's 13 goals.

However, as the game wore on, Sarri found himself facing the same problem as Roberto Mancini – with a number of AC Milan players erupting en masse again.

Insigne, a small man with a nimble body and delicate technique at his feet, had a hard time shaking off Desiglio's marking; Striker Gonzalo Higuain struggled to get a kick-shot from Zapata's interference; The midfield engine Hamsik, with Kuczka and Nigel de Jong in reasonable encirclement, struggled to feed the forward line.

With frequent blockages in attack, Napoli was also confused by the opponent's constant large-scale shifts in the defensive line.

Whenever Callejon, Alan and others are about to form an encirclement and suppression of Feng Quan who is holding the ball, Feng Quan will pass the ball to his teammates in the vacant position as soon as possible; And once Alan fails to help defend the wing in time, Feng Quan will rely on his strong individual ability to cut inside to the middle to form an attack, or break through to the baseline and deliver cannonballs to his teammates who are outflanked in the middle.

Although goalkeeper Reyna saved a number of dangerous shots in the first 30 minutes, it was a slamming shot from the edge of the box that broke the deadlock for AC Milan with 33 minutes played.

Although Napoli, who were unwilling to lose, further strengthened their attack in the second half, it was still difficult to form a fatal smile on the goal even if they invested more troops in the front of the AC Milan players.

On the contrary, AC Milan, who led the score, continued to threaten the Napoli goal with the advantage of the speed of the wind.

In the 13th minute of the second half, after Feng Quan counterattacked and broke through the corner of the penalty area along the right side, he sent a precise through ball to the empty space on the right side of the penalty area, and Mandzukic, who arrived at the horse, directly kicked and fired a low shot into the far corner of the goal.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Reina reacted very quickly and fell to the ground to save sideways, blocking the ball off the line.

In the 26th of the second half, Feng Quan quickly advanced to the edge of the big penalty area along the left side and collided with Bonaventura to hit the wall to the top of the arc of the penalty area, and then picked up his legs and kicked the goal.

Just as Jorginho and Albiol stepped forward to block, Feng Quan delicately pushed the ball into the space on the left side of the penalty area.

The next moment, Bonaventura, who had just finished cooperating with the wind, appeared accurately on the rolling route of the football, and then adjusted his body slightly to the goal, and then hit the goal with his right foot.

Reyna made the first save, but could not prevent Bonaventura's football from grazing the right post and into the goal.

Eight minutes later, Feng Quan broke through to 6 meters from the baseline along the right flank and found Mandzukic on the edge of the penalty area with an inverted triangle pass.

Mandzukic, who was facing the goal, was pressed by Kalidou Koulibaly and chose to play the ball back to Kucka, who was inserted in the back.

Kuczka met the incoming ball and fired a direct shot to open the door of Napoli for the third time.

Napoli, who were three goals behind, completely lost confidence and the game went into garbage time after that

In the end, AC Milan's winning streak extended to six games after a three-goal home win over Napoli.
