In the first half of this season's league title battle, AC Milan could only describe it with the word "unstoppable".
In the 34th and 36th minutes, AC Milan's striker duo Toney and Inzaghi scored a goal each to give the Rossoneri a three-goal lead at half-time, and it was Robin van Persie who played as a lone midfielder but did not have a fixed area of activity to assist Milan's striker.
Finding weaknesses in the opposition defence and then appearing there as quickly as possible, breaking through to attract attention and passing the ball was what Jiang Qi asked of Van Persie, and the Dutchman did quite well, and even Pirlo's first goal came from his indirect assist.
Van Persie, who used to appear as a substitute or rotation, finally took on the key attack point in the front court alone, showing his extraordinary talent and the astonishing speed of improvement over the past season, in fact, in many broadcast commentators, Van Persie is not an exception, it seems that every young player who comes to AC Milan can find the right direction he should work hard in a short period of time, which is the most jaw-dropping place.
Of course, no one can figure out the complex reasons behind this: someone's vision as a reborn, detailed statistics, and the hard work of the coaching staff, all of which are indispensable.
Although Capello tried to change players from the beginning of the second half to turn back the unfavorable situation, in the mental battle, the Roma undoubtedly did not take any advantage, AC Milan players are hungry for victory enough to make them more aggressive, more active, more calm, and more energetic, on the contrary, in a passive situation, the Roma players are like dancing in shackles, and the feeling of exhaustion lingers.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Jiang Qi replaced Maldini with veteran Costacuta, and the player who has played for Milan for 18 years took over the captain's armband and was greeted by a wave of applause from the audience.
"It's enviable that Alessandro's career can end on a perfect note." , Tasotti said with emotion.
When Jiang Qi heard this, his heart suddenly moved, "I think our transfer plan for the summer should be adjusted." ”
These two inherently unfinished words left Caxcini a little confused, but soon his attention shifted to the field, and Roma had the best chance of the game in the blink of an eye. Totti received a diagonal cross from Roberto Mancini in the box and had a great chance to face Dida!
It's just that the wolf king hesitated slightly, and immediately grabbed a figure in front of him, and the decisive tackle directly shoveled the ball out of the sideline!
But it was Costacuta, who had just come on the field......
Costacuta's form has never been at its peak since the '94 World Cup, and he has relied on experience to make up for it on many occasions, only to find the style of his youth, such as this decisive tackle.
After Totti missed a good chance, there was no more turmoil, and in the end, AC Milan beat Roma 3-0 at home to win the Serie A title two rounds ahead of schedule.
In fact, before the game was full of 90 minutes, all AC Milan's substitutes and many staff were already standing on the sidelines, and when the empathetic Mr. Collina did not make stoppage time, and blew the final whistle directly after the end of regular time, the anticipatory crowd immediately rushed to the field.
There are those who run around the field, there are those who kneel and pray, there are those who rejoice, there are those who cry, and there are those who are reluctant to give up...... Chascini looked at Jiang Qi, whose expression had not changed at all, and asked suspiciously, "Why can't you see how excited you kid is?" ”
"I don't know, in fact, I had insomnia for most of the night last night, and I was thinking about how to celebrate after winning the game, so I slept in a daze in the early morning, but when the game ended and we got the result we wanted, we found that there was no feeling ......of excitement at all", Jiang Qi scratched his head, looking a little distressed.
"No, boy, you'll need to blend in with the celebratory crowd!" , Ciascini pushed him forward with a strange smile, and a group of young Milan players were already coming straight to the rookie coach, and it was inevitable to lift up and throw high and take low.
So when Jiang Qi attended the press conference, the suit on his body was already comparable to the old bark.
"Mr. Jiang, tell me how you felt after winning the championship?"
"I thought that the most important thing to worry about after winning this victory was not to ......go crazy with joy," Jiang Qi shrugged, "but when this moment actually came, I also wondered why I was so calm." ”
"I would like to thank my players for their ability to tolerate boring tactical exercises and training sessions day in and day out, and I would like to thank my colleagues from the coaching staff, the Milan lab and all departments at the club, who have worked as hard as I have done to get all the details we can think of perfectly! Because I understand that success comes from the accumulation of hard work of each of us, and from every step we have taken in the past nine months, so I can come to this day and open the door of the league championship, so I can suddenly become calm! ”
……
For AC Milan's victory, all the Italian media unanimously praised.
"Jiang has found the secret to success!" , which was the headline of Roma Sport and Capello's exact words at the press conference.
Even Mr. Moreno, who has been focusing on Jiang for 20 years, has to say sourly that the most important thing about AC Milan's success this season is that Jiang Qi stepped on the "shit luck" like recruitment, and even the two least favored trades before the season, Van der Vaart and Van Persie, have achieved unexpected success. The bricks who once sarcastically brought back from the Netherlands a long-term injury that made up to 10 appearances in a season, a thorn in the side that would eventually throw money away from the manager, now have to keep their mouths shut and hide in dark corners to draw circles.
"Milan Sports Newspaper" set its sights on the two teams specially hired by Jiang Qi this season, the data analysis team and the medical management team, because according to the statistics of "Milan Sports Newspaper", AC Milan's players performed well in the player efficiency list, and in the injury list, AC Milan has few traces, and efficiency and health have become the highlight keywords of "Milan Sports Newspaper" in AC Milan's championship process.
As for the "Torino Sports Newspaper", it interviewed many AC Milan players and staff in an ingenious way, piling up the impression of these people on Jiang Qi from the side, so that the silhouette of the rookie coach who is diligent, honest, good at thinking and extremely serious about details is presented in front of people.
For a while, this team with wonderful chemistry became the focus of the Apennine Peninsula, but for the players and staff of Milan, the carnival only lasted for one night and then came to a conscious halt, the Champions League was already on the way, and there was no one who didn't like the icing on the cake, especially when the flower was still unique!
