73. A fire in winter
Originally, Jiang Qi thought that after winning Rome away from home, the winter offensive would become more stable, but in the end, the development of the plot line proved that this was just a delusion.
Although the Mediterranean winter may not seem like a long one, the tumultuous month of the transfer window is still enough to keep the situation changing in Serie A every moment.
Before the next round of the league is against Regina, the draw for the cup is out, and the way to the quarter-finals has become a local derby for Milan, and Zaccheroni is now expected to be sharpening his knives and preparing for revenge.
If Inter Milan can get past the hurdle, AC Milan's semi-final opponent will be the winner of the Roma derby, and judging from the current situation and this season's head-to-head record, the possibility of encountering Roma is very large.
In other words, the old hatred has not gone and the new hatred is likely to continue to be staged......
You know, Inter Milan are currently the craziest team in the transfer market during the winter break, and there is no one.
He first forcibly reclaimed Adriano from Parma, then snatched Stankovic from Lazio the Blue Eagles, and brought in Dane Glenschar, who was gradually marginalized by Chelsea, and the crazy pace of recruitment made Serie A teams a little scared.
Indirectly, it is an indisputable fact that Parma, who has lost its striker, has turned from prosperity to decline, and Ade alone has carried at least one-third of the team's offensive firepower, and he has also supported Gilardino to support the offensive space, Ade's departure is actually equivalent to directly announcing Parma's complete withdrawal from the league championship.
Lazio's situation is not much better, although Stankovic looks extremely ordinary, all the statistics are not very dazzling, but he is a key piece in the series of Lazio midfield, he has the idea of finally switching to Zaccheroni, which is a headache for Mancini, the structure of the midfield needs to be re-arranged, and the shared responsibilities need to be re-deployed...... That's the legacy of a midfielder's departure, and it's complicated.
Of course, Jiang Qi himself is not in the mood to steal the troubles of other people's families, because AC Milan itself has encountered a lot of trouble.
Lahm is injured and has a slightly fragile ankle, and although it has been confirmed that there is no major problem after being examined by the Milan laboratory, it is certain that he will not be able to play for at least a month to be on the safe side.
Simic also suffered an injury, a broken collarbone, and recuperated for at least three months or more.
Two rotation players were injured at once, and even if the full-back had a temporary cameo, the manpower was very tight.
And it was around this time that the fax from Chelsea came......
50 million pounds to buy the Ukrainian Shevchenko!
And Chelsea's poaching operation is not just about faxing transfer offers, the overwhelming media coverage seems to have elevated Milan to the center of European football overnight, not to mention the fact that the Russian bear tycoon has coveted Sheva for a long time, and even the lady has used it to attack.
The most obvious change is that the Ukrainian has been preoccupied with his training recently, and anyone who sees him will think that Sheva is standing at a crossroads in his life at this moment.
Originally, at the beginning of December, Chelsea could still keep up with the Arsenal that has been completely demonized this season, ranking second in the league by two points, but a month later, the Blues, who have won two wins, drawn one and lost two in five league games, have been overtaken by Manchester United to fall to third place, and one of the problems reflected in these five league rounds is the lack of strikers.
Argentine Crespo, Roma Mutu and Icelandic Gudjohnsen have scored just three goals in five league games with a striker who has scored 31 goals, and it was Rivaldo, who moved from Milan in the summer, who struggled to prop up Chelsea at a time when such strikers were almost under a spell.
With the contrast of the collective gaffes of the front line, and the example of Rivaldo in front of him, how can Abramovich, the bear card tycoon, not be tempted by the Ukrainians who have always admired him the most?
Plus there is more or less a nostalgia for it!
"You don't want to talk to him?" On the sidelines of the training ground, Chascini gestured to Jiang Qi with his eyes, "If you can't put it on the pitch with peace of mind, it's a huge loss for the team, especially at this critical moment." ”
The rookie coach is actually in trouble, he had expected Sheva to leave, after all, the trajectory of his previous life has been proven, but what he didn't expect was that Chelsea's pursuit of the offensive would come so quickly, so enthusiastically, and it seems that the Ukrainians are really moved......
"Andrey!" After the training, Jiang Qi shouted Sheva's name, "Go for a drink?" ”
"Good!" , Hearing the string song and knowing the elegance, Shevchenko happily agreed.
It's not beer that's a cup of coffee.
In Milanello's quiet café, Jiang Qi and Shevchenko sat opposite each other, with a cup of strong coffee in front of them.
"Abramovich's invitation is so sincere that you can't refuse?" , Jiang Qi asked straightforwardly.
"Hmm." Shevchenko nodded, and then opened his mouth to explain, "The main thing is ......"
"I understand......", Jiang Qi did not listen this time, but interrupted him, "You have to think about your future in the future, and you have to think about the family that you may form in the future...... It's all normal, and I wouldn't be able to say no if it were me. ”
That's the power of Madame's offense, which can make a man think more about off-court factors, which can push him to change his mind, and these ideas are very practical and can have a more profound impact on a player than on a career.
"But you know this season is going to be a great opportunity for us to make a big splash and we're very competitive to win enough glory in the league and the Champions League!" Jiang Qi revealed his ambitions, "I hope you can consider the possibility of leaving the team after the season, after all, if this is a good season, then you will leave without a little regret, and it is also to pursue new challenges, so it will be a good ending for the club, you, me and the fans." ”
Sheva nodded affirmatively, "I never wanted to leave here in the middle of the season!" ”
"So, like Capello shouted last time, focus on football, we have to get what we deserve first, and then think about the rest of the ......"
"Good!"
