Chapter 254: The ...... before the Milan Derby
After the European Championship qualifiers, there are two weeks before the next international break. www.biquge.info At that time, Bosnia and Herzegovina will play Romania away from home, and before that, there are two more rounds of Serie A to play. I have to get back to Milan as soon as possible. These two games are the highlight of the season - the first is the world-renowned Milan derby, the second is against Roma - both games, both are championship-level battles, in this season, whether Milan can win the Serie A championship, depends on whether these two games can be played well.
I went back to Milanello. In the dormitory, Simic had already returned one step before me. In the 30-minute warm-up match between us and Croatia, Simic and I played against each other for the two national teams, but back in Milan we were teammates again.
Although Simic has not yet won the main position in Milan, he is the main central defender in the Croatian team. It can be seen how terrible Milan's back line and lineup are. I'm not an absolute mainstay for Milan either, but I'm very comfortable with this role between a mainstay and a substitute. After all, I played quite well in Serie A before, and in these two national team games, although I did not lead Bosnia and Herzegovina to victory against Denmark, I scored two goals and played well against Luxembourg, so Mr. Ancelotti will obviously take into account my form and let me have more playing time. For example, in this Milan derby, Mr. Ancelotti arranged for me to start as the main midfielder. As for the lineup, it's the Christmas tree lineup of 4321. Andriy Shevchenko replaced Inzaghi today, and the other midfielder besides me was Brazilian Rivaldo. Rui Costa and Seedorf split the line-up, with Andrea Pirlo at the back. The centre-backs lined up are the traditional Big Four – Cafu, Nesta, Maldini and Kaladze.
Inter Milan also has a very impressive squad - the Brazilian international, Dida's substitute Cesar guards the Inter Milan goal, and at the back, their captain Zanetti is also the captain of Argentina, as well as famous stars such as Burdisso, Samuel, Materazzi, etc., the great free-kick master Mihajlovic is old and does not play much in the main team. Cambiaso, the meat grinder in midfield, can be called the terminator of artistic football, and his scrambling is a guarantee for Inter Milan to get the ball. The rest of the midfield, Luis Figo, Stankovic and Veron, are all good players in the technical stream. Among them, Stankovic is a former Yugoslav - the national team he plays for now is Serbia! On the forward line, Uruguay's "Chinese teenager" Recoba, and Brazil's No. 9 Adriano are both well-known figures in the world, and it can be said that such an Inter Milan lineup is not worse than ours!
If nothing else, at least they were also the top four in last year's Champions League!
I came back to Milanello in the evening, and I got up at half past six the next morning. I've always woken up later than Simic before, and this time, I'm going to try to be one earlier than him.
It is indeed difficult to get up early in the morning. It was still dark and I put on my jersey and a long-sleeved underwear underneath it. Although Italy is located in southern Europe, it is still relatively cold compared to Bosnia and Herzegovina. And Milan is a city in northern Italy, which is indeed much colder than places such as Naples and Rome in the south. So, I'm really looking forward to the next away game against Roma right now.
However, we have to play the Milan derby before the match against Roma. In order to prepare for this game, our teammates who came to Milan must have gotten up earlier than usual.
In the bitter cold, I arrived at Milanello's training ground. It wasn't even seven o'clock at this time, and the sky was just starting to lighten, but on the training ground, there were indeed many Milan players training. The Milan players do have an unparalleled sense of consciousness, everyone is eager to succeed, even those meritorious players who have won the European Champions Cup, they still insist on coming to this training ground every day at six or seven o'clock, facing the cold wind of the morning. No one wants to make a fool of themselves in a big game like the Milan derby, which is the highlight of the bi-annual affair between Milan and Inter. In world football, derbies are always the theme of the league, and every derby, its confrontation like Mars hitting the earth can always attract the attention of many fans. One city, two teams, who is the master of the city? It's up to the derby to tell. And in Milan, the greatest football city in the world, the battle between us and Inter Milan is the whole city, even ...... The focus of the whole world's attention, in such a big game, if you play abnormally, wouldn't it have a great impact on your career? So everyone didn't dare to relax, and in the period leading up to the Milan derby, everyone was trying to improve their form as much as possible......
I took a soccer ball out of my soccer bag on the sidelines and started juggling it. My juggling level is not bad, and I have just practiced in the "universe" for a long time, so I feel that the juggling is much smoother now.
This time, I juggled more than 2,000 balls in a row. My juggling skills slowly attracted more and more teammates to watch. Inzaghi looked at me and commented, "If I were ten years younger, I would have practiced juggling." Now one or two of you are saying that I am not skilled, huh. Shevchenko on the side took over and said: "Saying that your skills are poor is relative to your consciousness." Although you are not very skilled, but you will beg for a life on the offside line, I won't, haha. Rui Costa in midfield interjected: "What is this, I can spin the ball 10,000 times." Juggling the ball is not the only soccer technique, but juggling the ball well is really good for developing a sense of the ball. Rivaldo said, "Hmph, I'm not good at juggling the ball, can you take a look at me?" "Funny comments like this made the whole atmosphere on the training ground so good, and just like that, in the midst of the messy comments of our team-mates, we waited for Mr. Ancelotti to arrive.
