275. Hot and cold
It was originally a pleasant thing to get three points back from the most terrifying away stadium in the Champions League this season, Luzhniki Stadium, but in fact, when Milan took the plane back to Milan, everyone looked happy, but the good times did not last long, and the sequelae of this away trip broke out.
Since the severe cold in Moscow was able to pit Napoleon and the mustachioed Führer, it was natural that he would not easily let go of Lao Jiang and his party.
Just one day after returning to Milanello, AC Milan was struck down by the flu! That's right, it's a knockout!
In the past, when he was in the Celestial Empire, it was difficult for Jiang Qi to imagine the grand scene of the European influenza pandemic broadcast in the news, and the Celestial Empire also had a flu season, when it came to that season, everyone had a runny nose and sneezed, and then every once in a while two or three had a fever, but they came over as soon as they stood up, and even few people took sick leave under the company's rather strict leave and salary deduction system......
But now the situation in the Milan team is a different scene, at the beginning it was Van der Vaart and Mex, several players were recruited, but overnight, the number of recruits affected half of the team, and at this time Lao Jiang woke up and began to pay attention to the flu that was originally dressed in Akarin's coat in his memory, the sick players were quickly isolated and cared for, and the other players had to be strictly implemented by the team doctor to take precautions, and everyone in Milanello was anxious for a while.
The flu is ferocious, and when Jiang Qi recognizes these four words, he can't help but regret it, otherwise when a player is injured by the flu in the Fm system, the head coach will always advise the coach to let the player go home to rest to avoid the spread of infection......
Although the players are much stronger than ordinary people's physique, but the flu is a cycle of at least a week, in this week from the onset of infection to the treatment and recovery, the patient is in a period of fatigue and weakness most of the time, at this time sending players to play will undoubtedly be worse, it is quite inhumane, but look at the soldiers that can still be used in his hands, Lao Jiang has a burst of brain pain.
To make matters worse, the Champions League is set for midweek, followed by a weekend league game two days later, with AC Milan playing Sampdoria at home.
Let's look at the crippled AC Milan lineup.
The backline is the hardest hit area, with Sergio Ramos who has experienced a psychological gap, Mex, Nesta, Lucio and Lahm, who have been affected by the fact that they belong to the pool fish...... Jiang Qi looked at the Milan treatment room full of infusion bottles, and could only remain silent, the remaining three defenders, Ujfarusi and Antonini, all fought for 90 minutes in Luzhniki, and the veteran Cafu has been suffering from minor injuries this season, and his physical condition is not at his best, otherwise Ramos will not be the pacesetter in the season.
Sampdoria is not easy to deal with, the last game just led the Blue Eagle Lazio led by Mancini to a disgraced face, the players in the team are not all Serie A giants, but also practical players, almost every summer there are players involved with the giants, especially on the front line Bazzani and Fraki are still crazy attributes, often play difficult and high-profile goals...... Headache!
Therefore, when the Milan coaching staff convened for the weekend league preparation meeting, all the uncles were full of sorrow, like Cao Ying when Guandu was in the past, and they almost gave up their hands one by one: "Now that the Yuan army is menacing, our army is short of soldiers and food, how should we deal with it?" ”
The shortage of people is as fatal as the shortage of food...... The rookie head turned his heart sideways and slapped the table "slap", "For today's plan, there is only a broken kettle!" ”
As a result, when the names of AC Milan's starters were announced on the radio at the San Siro Stadium at the weekend, there was an uproar......
Goalkeeper Petr Cech, the Czech's luck was really good, Abbiati accidentally hit.
In addition to the surviving Ujfarusi, the central defender was joined by local defender Giorgio Chiellini, who had been on loan at Fiorentina for the first half of the season with as many highlights as the red cross shots.
For nothing else, Chiellini was a little too ...... in the centre-back position Reckless!
Of course, the surprise is not only Chiellini, the left wing-back and the right wing-back are very unfamiliar names, one is called Van den Boray, the other is called Abate, and Kompany is still sitting on the bench.
It was not only the Milan fans in front of the stadium and TV who received this surprise, but also Sampdoria's head coach Novellino! Jiang Qi's pre-match measures to block the news were quite successful, at least Novelino subconsciously touched his face when he saw this backline: I'll go, is this true?
The midfield returned to Milan's most favoured diamond-shaped position, followed by veteran Albertini, who had not traveled to Russia, with Gattuso on the right and Gattuso on the right, Rui Costa on the left and Robin van Persie up front. This midfielder is already a combination that Jiang Qi barely put together and looks quite complete.
In front of Villa and Drogba, in Milan's four-man configuration frontline, only the big man Tony was hanging in the water, which can be regarded as retaining most of the strength.
Such a midfield lineup made Novelino, who suddenly came out of his heart to change his offensive and defensive attitude after seeing the Milan backline, shrank back again, or honestly defend and counterattack.
Soon, however, the sprout popped up in Novellino's mind......
In the middle of the first half, Palombo stubbornly cut off the ball at the feet of Van Persie in the midfield, and then directly stuffed it to Vladhi, who was leaning on Chiellini with his back, and the Sampdoria striker did not receive the ball, but directly spread his legs, and his upper body made a shake of the center of gravity, and then turned around very abruptly!
Palombo's pass was fast, directly through Chiellini's legs, and the Italian's attention was also restrained by the samp striker's duffle, and it was not until Vladhi's lightning turn and rush over that he realized that something was wrong, such a handy passing action easily deceived the still very immature Chiellini, if it wasn't for Ujfarusi grabbing up from the side and back, taking advantage of Frachi's step to make a ferocious tackle, maybe Sampdoria's one-on-one chance was born.
There was a burst of exclamations from the stands, followed by applause from the Milan fans for Oujfarusi's decisiveness, but there were also sparse boos sent to Milan's young centre-back.
"Is that really okay?" , Chascini was also clearly a little shaken.
"At least in the race for the high point, Gio still has a good control of the situation." Although he showed his trust, Jiang Qi walked to the sidelines and shouted Albertini's name, gesturing for him to recycle and protect Chiellini.
