Chapter 16: AC Milan in Turmoil
In the last round of the league, AC Milan finally lost 0-2 away to Regina.
Ancelotti looked a little dazed after the game: "We were very tired, very, very tired, we didn't have much motivation in this game, and we were a little tired, we tried our best in today's game, we tried to control the game in the first half, but in the second half we lost our rhythm because we didn't have enough energy to deal with Regina who were fighting for relegation, they didn't have the same motivation as we did, Mazzalhi's team was more hungry to win than we did. β
Although like Fiorentina, the sentence was commuted, but AC Milan is still in a bad situation, after 15 rounds of league games, seven wins, four draws and four losses, for a giant team like AC Milan, ending 2006 with such a result is a complete failure.
And this failure, in fact, has been planted since the summer, after losing the two strikers of Digan and Shevchenko in succession, Galliani has been busy looking for a new gun for AC Milan all summer.
Everyone saw the result.
Brazilian Ricardo. Oliveira, debuting on the first day, really surprised a lot of people, a goal and a dazzling pass, although only on the field for 30 minutes, but AC Milan's biggest introduction this season Oliveira still delivered a satisfactory answer.
The 25-year-old Brazilian striker Ricardo Brown Brown Striker Ricardo Brown Oliveira previously played for Real Betis. He was once the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores and in the 2004/2005 season Oliveira scored 22 goals in La Liga, the third highest scorer.
However, Oliveira made just nine appearances last season due to a serious injury and scored just four goals. AC Milan, who let go of Shevchenko and Digan, were desperate to find a gun, so they traded for 15 million euros plus Swiss midfielder Voger for the Brazilian striker.
Oliveira, who took over the mantle of Sheva's No. 7, was really capable of questioning the Italian, but he gave the answer with an excellent performance in the first game.
His goal showed his astute judgment of the ball and the awareness of a killer to grab points, and Oliveira was able to push the ball into the opponent's goal in style under the interference of the opposing defenders, and the flexibility of his body was evident.
After the goal, Oliveira showed people his unpredictable feet, and one of the most impressive shots is, he is in the penalty area? The left side of the penalty area shook past two Lazio players in succession, and if it weren't for Peruzzi's bravery, it would have been the best goal of the round, as Oliveira's value for money delighted everyone and his eye-catching performance put Gilardino's main position in jeopardy.
After that game, AC Milan's official website praised Oliveira, writing: "Oliveira's arrival made Shevchenko and Digan forgotten, and after this game, all AC Milan fans remembered him." His presence activated the San Siro and he was undoubtedly the most performant of the match, with all the fans intoxicated by his passionate performance. Scoring in the first game, he got his long season off to a good start. β
With Oliveira's AC Milan seemingly no longer worried about the team's attacking power, the Rossoneri are still a team of kings.
However, here's a but!
Recently, the newspaper Sport published an article titled "The Case of Failed Transfers in 2006", which listed the ten most disappointing deals of the summer.
In tenth place is Torino to bring in Fiore for 2 million euros, and the promotion horse needs an experienced veteran to press the lineup, so Torino chose Fiore. But compared to Doni's achievements in Atalanta, Fiore can be said to be a burden to Torino, not only has no role in defense, but also does not reflect the due organizational talent in attack, occupying a starting spot, but inhibiting Rosina from playing. Scored 1 goal in 15 rounds, Fiore did nothing, and he didn't have the style of a former international.
In ninth place is Palermo's β¬6 million investment in Diana, which is not a small amount for an Italian mid-table club and should be worth the price for the sake of a fringe international. Diana, who scored twice against Inter Milan last season, arrived in Palermo but did not settle down, scoring only one goal in 15 league games, he could not get a fixed position under Guidolin, constantly adapting to the right-back, right midfielder and left-back positions, coupled with intermittent minor injuries, the sharp and exhausted, the attacking characteristic Diana can only be an inconspicuous sapper in Palermo.
In eighth place, it is a bit surprising that Inter Milan spent 5.5 million euros plus Delafiore to bring in Grosso, and Inter Milan had signed Grosso before the start of the Shijie Cup, and there was not much turmoil at that time. A month later, everyone was envious of Inter Milan for grabbing the most amazing left-back on Shijie at such a low price. Now after half a season, Grosso's performance cannot be regarded as a failure, but it is far from the "magic" that people expect, as the professional resume shows, Grosso is just an ordinary player suitable for Perugia, Palermo and other mid-stream teams, and can only just gain a foothold in the giants, and the short-lived magic cannot last the whole season, and Inter Milan still has not solved the loophole in the left-back position.
In seventh place is Roma's 5 million euros to bring in Degan's original teammate Cassetti, whose transfer fee is second only to Pizarro's 6.5 million euros, but plays a far less important role than Pizarro. Spalletti originally intended to replace the aging Panucci with Cassetti, but Cassetti was clearly not up to the level of Panucci. Cassetti played two-thirds of Panucci's time and did not provide the same assists as he did at Lecce, and he tried to find opportunities on the left flank, but it didn't work out well, but the impressive performance at Atalanta still made people look forward to him.
In sixth place is also Roma's arm, who has signed Tavano, who can be counted as a "parallel import" in La Liga and Serie A if the most disappointed player in the European transfer market in 2006/07 is to be selected. It's understandable to sit on the bench in Valencia, after all, Spain is not a paradise for Italian players, and after joining Roma on loan, Tavano has failed to prove his quality, scoring only two goals in 14 league games, which can only be described as dismal in Spalletti's attacking tactics.
The fifth place is Torino, who spent a huge amount of 4.8 million euros to bring in Barone, with the halo of the Shijie Cup champion, Barone created the first transfer value of Turin this season. Truth be told, though, Barone is one of the most mediocre players in the Shijie Cup squad and has no strengths other than a diligent runner. Torino has no shortage of sappers in the traditional sense of the word, and Barone, despite his hard work, has not been able to bring qualitative improvement to the team, and it is not worth spending β¬4.8 million on an average defensive midfielder.
In fourth place is Lazio buying half of Makinwa for three million, with the Nigerian striker having performed well in Palermo last season and is seen as having the potential to develop into a Martins-style striker. However, his Jishu ability has not yet met the requirements of Lazio coach Mandolini, and it is difficult to shake the main position of Rocchi and Pandev, although he scored a goal for AC Milan in the first round of the league, Makinwa has been positioned as a substitute throughout the season, playing an average of less than 20 minutes. Mandolini's hope that Makinwa can play the role of the fulcrum of Digan's attack in Atalanta can only be blind.
In third place is Sampdoria who brought in Telic with Pisano plus cash, and at the beginning of last season, Telic made a splash with a series of goals, giving a vague glimpse of Materazzi's time in Perugia. However, Telic's fate is similar to that of his brother Lerotalje, who also rose to fame under Del Neri, and after the transfer, it proved to be unworthy of his name. Before the start of the league, Telic was even selected for Donadoni's first national team training squad and played in a friendly against Croatia, but Sampdoria quickly recognized his true level, and after getting one yellow and one red in four starts, Telic was completely cold, on the contrary, Pisano, who was exchanged, had a good performance in Palermo.
In second place belongs to Fiorentina free introduction of Liverani, Liverani's organizational ability has a good reputation in Serie A, in order to fill the vacancy of Brocki's transfer, Prandelli called the veteran into his team, and entrusted him with the responsibility of the absolute main force, Liverani's performance can also be called decent, but compared with people's expectations, it is obviously far away, at least not compared with the annual salary paid by Fiorentina.
Now comes the main event, asking who was the most disappointing transfer deal of the summer of 2006, Comrade Oliveira, who made his grand debut.
Wearing Shevchenko's No.7 shirt, former La Liga goalscorer and current Brazil international, Oliveira has been one of the most anticipated players in Serie A this season, and his debut has been nothing short of spectacular, not only with a header against Lazio and a couple of good dribbling performances. But after some curse, Oliveira's performances took a nosedive, with the occasional decent shot coming into close contact with the framework, and Ancelotti's patience with him gradually lost sight, and Oliveira is now in a state of abandonment, and there is no doubt that the Brazilian is the biggest parallel commodity in Serie A this season.
Let a Red Ribbon Legion Soldier Armor replace the Super Saiyan, AC Milan really thinks too much!
The defense is unstable, the forward line is weak, AC Milan's current performance is simply a mess, and the fans certainly have reason to be dissatisfied with the current results.
The sale of Shevchenko and Digan in the summer has made AC Milan a lot of money, but they have invested very little in the transfer market.
Daniel. Bonella is a good deal, at least the young and famous Bonella was once touted by the media as the new Nesta, but after he transferred from Brescia to Parma, he did not show the strength of Nesta, and now to AC Milan, it is also difficult to be a big responsibility, forever a young player, and he is not young, but people's expectations of him can only be placed in the future, but fortunately, he is a panacea, it is really not good, and the back line can be topped anywhere.
Ferdinando. Coppola, Coppola was born in Napoli, before coming to Milan, he either played in the second division team, or played as a substitute in the first division team, no one knew that AC Milan Weishenme would bring him in, although the current goalkeepers are not very reliable, but it is clear that Coppola is even more unreliable, probably the only good thing is that he came from a free transfer.
Djucepe. Favali, the veteran Favali played for Inter Milan and was the captain of Lazio, playing nearly 500 games for Lazio. It should be said that he was a reliable defender. He moved to Milan on a free transfer this summer, but the aging Favali was clearly unfit to play as a left wing-back, and his running ability was so bad that the team was almost leaky, so more often than not, Ancenotti put him in the centre-back position to fill the vacancy caused by a large number of injuries.
Leondedo. Gremi is another soy sauce player, and the first player to propose to the club was AC Milan's chief scout Maldini Sr., who was already optimistic about the young man two years ago in the academy of Argentine second division side Juracan, and later in the autumn league. The Argentine media commented that Grimi's basic qualities are very good, he is in excellent physical condition, he is 182cm tall, and at the same time he is fast, Jishu is good, and he performs very well in assists.
Braida even went to Argentina to inspect him in person, and quickly finalized the player, the transfer fee is two million euros, although Milan's defense is seriously aging, perhaps the strength is only a few, maybe Ancelotti trusts the veteran too much, the player has only made three appearances in half a year.
Yonan. Gourcuff, although known as Zidane's successor, is more like a traditional midfielder, Zidane's range of movement is larger, and Gourcuff is confined to the midfield area, a bit like Riquelme. And at AC Milan, Carlo Ancelotti rejected Gourcuff's proposal to replace Kaka, arguing that Gourcuff did not have Kaka's running and dribbling speed. Gourcuff had limited playing time in Milan and was labelled as a parallel import.
Massimo. Odor, this is probably the biggest achievement of the summer for AC Milan, a player who joined the AC Milan Academy in 1993. Since the 95/96 season, he has lived on loan, playing for Fiorenzola, Monza, Prato, Lecco, Napoli, Zuihou was bought out by Verona. After 2002, he moved to Lazio, where he made a name for himself, was selected for the national team, and captained Lazio. Lacking a right-back, Milan are hungry for talent and are starting at a hefty price of β¬8 million. In the half-season since his transfer, Otto has played ten league games and scored one goal, which is quite impressive.
But obviously, such a performance is really difficult to equate with AC Milan's wealthy identity, people are fishing in big nets, eating with a mouth full of oil, AC Milan is also netting, but the fishing nets are a little unqualified, the big fish nets can't stop, the small fish are all gone, only a small shrimp is left, hoping that you can live in this way, you can only say naΓ―ve.
After learning from the pain, the team's poor results have allowed Carlo Ancelotti and Galliani to confirm that the team will be replenished in the winter.
Berlusconi also confirmed the incident in an interview: "The winter transfer market? We'll see, we're talking to Carlo Ancelotti, Galliani, AC Milan still want to stay in the lead, we're going to do everything we can to strengthen the team, and of course let's not forget that the injured players are coming back and we'll look at opportunities to strengthen the team. But I'm sure we'll still get a good result this season. β
"Milan Sport" is also helping AC Milan in the transfer market, according to their ideas, one is in the goalkeeper position, and the other is to continue to strengthen the midfield.
It is also said that AC Milan is actively discussing with Fiorentina to acquire Montolivo.
AC Milan does have this idea, Ancelotti wants to bring in Montolivo, mainly considering that there are almost no personnel to replace in the midfield, with Serginho out for a long time due to injury, Jankulovski was crushed to the left-back position, and the midfield substitutes are only Ambrosini, Brocki, Gourcuff, and Ambrosini is still a long-term injury.
And Montolivo is recognized as a talented midfielder in Italian football, he was also Pirlo's handpicked "successor", after showing people his talent in attack when he was in Atalanta, he was much better in defense than in the past in Florence, and in jishu and creativity, he is quite similar to Pirlo, "Milan Sports Newspaper" said that he is 6 years younger than Pirlo, if he joins will become the current "deputy Pirlo", the future "Pirlo's successor".
Andrea Pirlo himself has said: "In my opinion, Montolivo is the most like me in style, and I think he will be more able to play if he retreats to a lower position." β
However, Fiorentina coach Prandelli said in an interview: "I can't see any reason for him to leave Fiorentina. β
Because weishenme?
Because Florence has Digan here!
Montolivo also said in an interview afterwards: "I would have been very happy if AC Milan wanted to bring me in a year ago, it might hurt the feelings of the Fiorentina fans, but I am really eager to play with Degan on the pitch, we had a great partnership when we were in Atalanta before, and now that Deegan is back, I hope to continue!" β
Come on!
Falling flowers are intentionally ruthless!
AC Milan's true heart is stuck on the ice of a thousand years.
But fortunately, they still have Kaka, who has been a phenomenal performer this season, with nine goals and seven assists in 15 league games, and six goals in the Champions League.
After Digan's move to Fiorentina, Kaka alone held on to the Wright brothers' position in Milan, and it can be said that without Kaka, AC Milan is doomed to tragedy this season.
"Rod is back to health, that's the most news for me, I'm looking forward to playing him again on the pitch, in the Shijie Cup, I lost to him, but in the league I hope to win back!"
Serie A has entered the winter break, and after the winter break, AC Milan's first opponent is Fiorentina, and the battle between the Wright brothers has been transferred back to Serie A from the stage of the Shijie Cup.
"During my time recuperating from my injury, I talked to Ricciardo a lot on the phone, we met occasionally and we were able to face my brother in the first game after my comeback, which is nothing more hode stage for me, Ricciardo has done a fantastic job at AC Milan this season, but I think I will get the victory for Zuihou!"
The Wright brothers' rivalry has never been harmonious since Deegan was in Atlanta, and while people want to see the Wright brothers' offensive combination, they obviously want to see the two brothers compete on the field.
However, before that, Degan still has some things to deal with first, AC Milan are now in a mess of miso soup, and the league results are not good, but Degan is well aware that it is because Ancelotti has shifted the team's focus to the Champions League this season.
Fiorentina is not qualified to laugh at others now, although there has not yet been a discordant voice in the team, but some hidden dangers have come to be cleared.
On the day Deegan returned to the team, he learned from Prandley that someone had submitted a transfer request.
"Fernando seems to have despaired of life in Florence! I've advised him before, I've told him before, and I'm still patient, but he doesn't seem to listen! β
Deegan also thought that such a situation would occur, and Cavinaghi had many opportunities at Fiorentina, with 15 rounds, 13 appearances, not a single goal, and only a handful of shots on target.
Look at the two teammates who partnered with him, who scored goals frequently, especially Mutu, who came to the team with him, has become the darling of Fiorentina fans.
A frustrated person's first thought is that it might be better to change the environment.
"Coach! I'll talk to him! β
Prandelli looked at Dicgan, in fact he was also very strange that Divian was so optimistic about Cavinaghgi, the league had been going on for almost half of the time, but Cavinaghi didn't seem to be able to adapt to the style of Italian football.
If it weren't for the fact that Deegan was injured and Prandley really didn't have anyone on his hands, he wouldn't have given Kavinaji so many opportunities.
But since Digan had already said it, he could only nod his head and agree: "Okay! At least as a tactical centre-forward, he's a good choice! β
Tactical center?
Deegan smiled: "No! Instructor! I'm in charge of letting the team bring him in, not letting him be a hellish tactical center! He is the new Batti, a Batistuta belonging to the new Florence! β
Prandelli frowned slightly, from his point of view, he hadn't really noticed this trait in Kavinagi so far.
