212. Goal drought

I'm sorry, but yesterday's renovation project at home was completed, and I fell asleep when I was exhausted...... Updates will become normal from today......

================

After lifting the UEFA Super Cup, AC Milan will have to wait for more than a week to wait for the first match of the Serie A competition.

Perhaps it was the elimination of Italy from the group at the European Championship in the summer that shook the Italian football world, so a lot of thought was put into the league schedule.

"This time, those guys from the Football Association didn't set up a strong devil's schedule for the ratings, tsk......t", Chascini flipped through the schedule in his hand.

Jiang Qi marked the schedule in his hand, "The Italian team performed mediocre in the Champions League last season, and the European Cup was killed in the group stage again since 1996, and there was neither Germany nor the Czech Republic in the group, it is estimated that these factors combined made those big men decide to give the green light for ......the Champions League, but it doesn't mean anything to us at all."

AC Milan's first game was at home to promoted Marivorno, then away to Bologna and home to Messina, before the first tough league game in the fourth round, at the Stadio Alpi in Turin and Juventus Capello.

The new season Serie A has been expanded to 20 teams, and the schedule has suddenly increased from 34 rounds to 38 rounds, but the Italian Football Association has separated all the strong teams, so that AC Milan has a lot of time to adjust the rotation lineup, and not only AC Milan, but also Juventus, Roma, Inter Milan, the other three teams The schedule Jiang Qi also took a look at it, the treatment is the same, the arrangements are very relaxed, and the purpose is self-evident. Naturally, it is hoped that these four Serie A teams in the Champions League can deliver a satisfactory answer.

'Look at the group we've been into, we have Bayer Leverkusen at home before we go to Turin, we don't even have a chance to catch our breath and we have to fly to London to play Chelsea...... Just looking at the league schedule is quite easy, but with the Champions League, it's hard! Jiang Qi began to write down the match-day matches one by one on the team calendar.

Milan's coaching staff is no stranger to the opponent in the first league game, Livorno, who has just been promoted from the second division. Chiellini was poached from someone last season and then transferred to Fiorentina this season...... On top of that, Livorno's squad has two familiar faces that will be remembered by Serie A fans for years to come.

Amelia was once regarded as the star of hope in Italy after Buffon, but the consistency made it difficult for him to improve in the end, and he could only hover between first-class and second-rate, but the children's shoes who played FM must be familiar to him, because Amelia is one of the few "cost-effective" goalkeepers who can be signed in a contract year without a transfer.

Another "acquaintance" should be Livorno's striker Lucarelli.

It was in this rookie season that the little-known striker scored 24 goals, overpowering super rookies such as Adriano and Gilardino who were sharp, old strikers such as Sheva, Pippo and Totti, and new foreign players such as Ibrahimovic...... In the end, he won the top scorer of the season. Of course, the striker's unique personality is impressive for his thunderous piston-style celebration in the ring, which took place in Livorno's three-goal win over Piacenza and is enough to become an alternative part of the football field along with Di Canio's Nazi salute and Fowler's deviant celebrations.

For such a promoted horse, Jiang Qi did not dare to relax in the slightest, especially Lucarelli also arranged defensive measures in a targeted manner, this guy has a body, skills, and a free kick, the goal method is very comprehensive, maybe give an inadvertent opportunity to lose the ball, but Lucarelli's weakness is also obvious, Livorno's No. 99 has a short temper.

"Reduce his efficiency with the ball, if he takes the ball with his back, then don't let him turn around, if he tries to pass, keep a certain distance to follow, especially in the penalty area, as long as he feels uncomfortable in the attack, then with his character, the ball will be more and more impatient, our goal will be achieved, and the defense will be much easier......", this is the policy of the rookie coach, and it has been proved to be effective in containing Lucarelli, the arrowhead.

However, Livorno still has a player who plays at a super level in this game, Amelia!

In the face of Drogba's indiscriminate bombardment, in the face of Villa's tricky shots from various angles, in the face of Ljungberg's one-on-one after a continuous dribble through the entire Livorno defence, in the face of Albertini's unaged free kick...... The young goalkeeper, who had already caught the attention of many teams, made at least five incredible-sounding saves, and Libao Livorno's goal stood tall for 70 minutes in the midst of a stormy attack at the San Siro......

In the 71st minute, AC Milan won a corner, Van Persie took a tactical corner, Villa crossed from the right, and Ujfarusi grabbed a powerful header in front of the point!

Amelia came out of nowhere to block the ball!

Ljungberg deftly grabbed the second point to make a follow-up shot!

Amelia magically stretched out her leg almost subconsciously, and the football was blocked again!

After he blocked the ball, it hit the leg line of defender Melara and bounced, and Antonini seized the opportunity to shoot again!

Amelia finally didn't add up to the magic points, and this heart-pounding triple finally broke through Livorno's goal, but it was no more......

The final score of the game was fixed at 1:0, and AC Milan, who was playing at home, won by one goal, which made many bricks who predicted a big victory before the game once again collectively silenced.

In the post-match press conference, Livorno's head coach Colomba looked more like a winner, smiling and saying, "I'm proud......

And Jiang Qi only spread his hands, and said helplessly into a large number of microphones: "Everyone has seen that today's game is to confirm the long-standing words on the football field, 'A good goalkeeper can top half a team', congratulations to Livorno, they have gained a great goalkeeper, but the trouble is that from now on, all kinds of purchase offers will fill their fax machines......"

His last words are a bit exaggerated, the goalkeeper position is still more concerned about stability, just like Messina's Storari, although he can make all kinds of unbelievable saves like a god in some games, and he can simply put the prefix of "saint" in front of his surname, but stability allows him to be a substitute in the big team, but after this game, there will definitely be more teams that pay attention to Amelia like a carp across the river, which is by no means an exaggeration.

Of course, the reporter Shenma will never let go of Lao Jiang easily......

"May I ask Mr. Jiang, David Villa started again in this game but still did not score a goal, how much trust and patience do you have?"

The rookie sect leader squeezed out a cold snort from his nose, "I don't seem to have made a bet with anyone for a long time, do you want to come once?" ”
