AC Milan replaced Stam with Pancaro.

Pankaro is also a veteran of Milan, and is 33 years old, which is the same age as Stam. He made his debut in Torino in the 89-90 season, when the fledgling Pancaro was selected for the Torino first team. However, due to his lack of qualifications, Pancaro did not get a chance to play for two years. After a year on loan to the C2 division, Pancaro was sold to Cagliari by Torino.

Pancaro's five years at Cagliari were a period of maturity for Pancarlo, who developed into a competent assist full-back with his balanced left and right feet.

In the 97-98 season, Pancaro moved to Lazio and reached the peak of his career.

During his six years at Lazio, Pancaro made 156 league appearances as a first-choice full-back, scoring five goals. In the 99-00 season, Pancaro led Lazio all the way to the Serie A title, which was the first league title of Pancarlo's career!

After entering the new century, with the fall of Lazio's backstage owner, Cragnoli, the Lazio team gradually went downhill. As he grew older, Pancaro's position in the Lazio team gradually weakened.

Last season, Pancaro was loaned to AC Milan as an exchange for Albertini.

Surprisingly, Pankaro quickly regained his form at Milan and rejuvenated the second spring of his career, due to the long-term injury of the main left wing-back Caradze, Pankaro unexpectedly became Milan's starting left-back. Pancaro also seized his chances well, attacking sharply and defensively solid. Not only did he repeatedly send beautiful assists, but he also scored with a header in the away game against Brescia, which made a great contribution to Milan's championship!

But this season, the issue of form has been reflected due to age, with Pankaro and Stam being the same age. But his form has dropped dramatically, and after a few starts at the start of the season, Stam and Kaladze have squeezed him out of the starting line-up with their watches.

But he's still a good, well-rounded defender.

After Stam was substituted, Pancaro came on the pitch, but he was not the protagonist at all, and it is difficult for Pankaro to enter the eyes of AC Milan fans now. Probably when he was standing on the pitch and ready to play, the commentators didn't mention him at all, but talked about Stam's fate.

'It's good news for Roma that Stam is gone. Stam is the big general of AC Milan, his saving zài makes the AC Milan defense very stable, in the current Maldini can not take care of the entire backfield, Stam is the most important player of AC Milan, Pancaro is not in good shape, he is difficult to compare with Stam. ”

"Zhang's goal really killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he equalise for his side, but he also knocked Stam off the pitch, which left Roma with a much weaker defence to follow. ”

"But we also saw Zhang's strength, his football was full of violence and brutality, he had a better body than Stam, and in the face of a stubborn defense, he used his body to knock a qiē!"

"For the time being...... He did it! ”

"I really hate to say it, but he did succeed......"

……

Stam's downfall did have a lot of impact on AC Milan. It also had a big impact on the mentality of the AC Milan players, who would have thought. Just one collision, and Stam was gone? What's more, the area where Stam was injured was his shoulder...... How strong should Zhang Tiehan, who injured him, be!

Can you protect your legs, but how can you protect your shoulders?

If that big guy hits them next, will they have the ability to resist?

These are the questions that AC Milan players have in mind, and they know Stam better than anyone else. When the team is training, no player can take advantage of Stam physically, and now that Stam can't do it, why should they fight?

The head-on collision is really hitting the stone with an egg, so let's play with the technique...... A lot of AC Milan players think so.

Carlo Ancelotti is also worried. Stam can limit Zhang Tiehan, but Pancaro can't, a defender, it is impossible to only play technology, many times the body is more important than technology, Pancaro is not as strong as Stam, can he effectively defend Zhang Tiehan?

On his own, he definitely can't!

Ancelotti can only tell Maldini to pay more attention to Zhang Tiehan's side of the defense, and ask other defenders, even full-back Kaladze to pay attention to the danger of the defense, as for other Roma players, such as Cassano, in the dangerous moment, if you choose between Cassano and Zhang Tiehan, you must choose Zhang Tiehan.

That's what Carlo Ancelotti told his players.

In his opinion, Zhang Tiehan is much more threatening than Cassano!

……

Pancaro watched the game carefully from the bench.

He understands that he has a difficult task after he comes on the field, and he needs to defend Zhang Tiehan, but he also knows that he can't defend at all, all he has to do is to do his best, and if he can't prevent it, he needs the support of his teammates.

He doesn't have Stamm's 'must win the opponent' mentality, he knows that he is old, he can't do it, his body is not good, and his energy is not good, so he is very calm and takes the initiative to ask the opponent to cooperate with the defense.

Pancarlo's defense is not as good as Stam's, but after all, he used to be an excellent defender, and his rich experience still caused a lot of trouble for Zhang Tiehan, plus other AC Milan defensive players, 'not stingy' to make up for the defense, sometimes Zhang Tiehan even has to face the defense of Pancaro and Maldiniga Caradze, even if he is physically strong, there is no way to do this.

In a way, Pancarlo's defence was successful - Zhang Tiehan did not score in the rest of the game.

But Zhang Tiehan alone involved too much defensive energy of AC Milan, and as a result, when Cassano received a pass from Mancini in the second half and shot the ball into the net from the near corner, the AC Milan players felt helpless.

What can they do?

When Cassano received the pass, Kaladze was cooperating with Pancaro to restrict Zhang Tiehan, so they leaked, Cassano was unguarded at all, and then he got the opportunity lightly, and scored the ball lightly.

Was it a defensive mistake on their part?

The AC Milan players looked back and didn't know what to say, in short, Roma scored, and their frontcourt, Shepchenko, Kaka, and Crespo did nothing in the field, and they could only watch Roma rewrite the score without any way.

They didn't score.

When it comes to the current situation, they also have to bear a certain responsibility.

Roma's attack is good, the number thirteen kid is very good, but Roma's defense is not strong, but they only scored one goal in the whole game, it was Kaka's individual play, and others didn't take advantage of their chances, Roma scored two goals, and they only scored one.

It's not just the AC Milan defense that fails, it's also the AC Milan front line!

"The ball is in! Cassano! Cassano! He scored the game-winning goal for Roma! Pretty! Roma lead AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro Stadium! ”

"If the game is over, Cassano's goal is a stunner! The Italian bad boy proved once again with his goal that he can not only make noise off the pitch, but also on the pitch and be the key to the difference between victory and defeat! ”

The Italian media will not be stingy with praise for their own players, especially young talents like Cassano, and even Sky Sports, which supports AC Milan, has voiced praise, commenting on the goal of Bonelli, "Cassano is a key figure for Roma!" His appearance on the front line is no worse than No. 13 Zhang, if Zhang is a sharp long knife, Cassano is a sharp and restrained short blade, the long knife is very sharp, but the short blade can also kill people! ”

The meaning of the words is to put Cassano's watch xiàn and Zhang Tiehan on a par.

Cassano still hugged Zhang Tiehan at the first time he scored, and this goal had nothing to do with Zhang Tiehan, but Cassano knew very well that without Zhang Tiehan, he would never have had a chance to run out of space.

When Mancini passed the ball just now, Kaladze, who was defending himself, ran to defend Zhang Tiehan, so he could get a chance, and at the tactical level, Zhang Tiehan gave him the greatest support.

A while ago, Cassano was still depressed for Zhang Tiehan and his partner, because Zhang Tiehan's scoring ability is too strong, and he will have fewer opportunities as a striker, but now Cassano suddenly feels that it is not bad to partner with Zhang Tiehan, although his opportunities are less, but the opponent's defense is focused on Zhang Tiehan, and his chances have become better.

After Cassano's goal, Roma fans celebrated for a long time.

They were so excited!

No one thought Roma had a chance to win before the game, their table in the league and in the Champions League group stage were too bad, and against a strong AC Milan side and playing away again, they couldn't find a reason for the team to win, but now they are ahead.

Especially since the time has reached more than 80 minutes in the second half!

It's clear to anyone what the lead at this time means, so each of them has an excited smile on their faces, while also reminding the players on the pitch to work hard for the next game.

Needless to say, the Roma players know what to do next.

Defend until the end!

Just like the mentality of AC Milan at the beginning of the second half, now that Roma is ahead, they don't need to fight to the death with AC Milan, as long as they defend until the last moment of the game, as long as there are no big mistakes, then they will win the final victory, if they fight to the death with AC Milan, AC Milan attacks, they also attack, then it is meaningless to lead by one goal.

They have the advantage, and as long as they hold until the end of the game, they can get the win. Of course, if AC Milan gives Roma a good chance to counterattack, they will not let it go, after all, attack is the best defense, and if one more goal is scored, AC Milan will have no chance to turn the tables.

Think, an away win over AC Milan...... It's just wonderful!

Every Roma player is working hard!

AC Milan also knew what to do next, tried their best to attack, only scoring goals could make them stand on the same level as Roma, but Roma's defense was very tight, Zhang Tiehan returned to the backfield, AC Milan's attack was difficult to work, until the last moment, the score was not rewritten.

In the end, Roma won 2-1 away at AC Milan. (To be continued......)
