Chapter Ninety-Two: The Jade Body and the Glass Heart

After the break, Carlo Ancelotti was the first to make a change, replacing Seedorf with Gilardino and AC Milan switching to a two-striker strategy.

The team's performance in the first half seemed to give Carlo Ancelotti confidence, since AC Milan are no less chances than Fiorentina, why don't Weishenme step up their attack and try to score a goal first and break the balance on the field?

In fact, it is no wonder that Ancelotti suddenly popped up this dangerous thought in his head, in the past two seasons, every time he played against Fiorentina, he never bargained, not only lost the game, was blamed by the boss, but the most unacceptable thing for him was that he was humiliated by Digan.

Now that he finally saw an opportunity for revenge, Ancelotti was like a fly that smelled the smell of feces, buzzing and flying over.

"AC Milan took the lead in making substitution adjustments, Gilardino came out to replace Seedorf, Gilardino has had a bad time in Milan recently, Pato suddenly rose, so that he seems to have no place in Ancelotti's tactical system, and there has been news during this time that Gilardino will transfer to Fiorentina next season, this face-to-face battle may be Gilardino's best opportunity to perform, even if he can't regain Ancelotti's favor, but also show it in front of potential buyers!"

"Ancelotti has changed, what is surprising is that this time he actually thought of not defense, but to strengthen the attack, could it be that Ancelotti's wife gave him something to supplement his brain, so that he changed his mind all of a sudden!"

The commentators were talking nonsense, and Prandelli on the sidelines couldn't help but smile after seeing Ancelotti's adjustment, it was obvious that Ancelotti was definitely not eating something to replenish his brain, but brain fragments.

The key reason why AC Milan were able to compete with Fiorentina in the first half was their double forward configuration, Kaka and Seedorf are both the kind of players who can break through with the ball, pass the ball, and shoot on their own.

It can be said that the partnership of the two has formed a dual-core tactical system for Milan, and when Fiorentina is defending, even if Kaka's side is cut off, Seedorf can also play freely, and if Seedorf is killed, Kaka will get more space, and if the two of them are controlled at the same time, the pressure on Pato in front will be less.

At this time, Ancelotti's behavior is simply self-defeating.

Since Ancelotti has a big belly and has suffocated his dantian, it would be too unkind for Prandelli not to accept this big gift.

Prandelli thought so, so he walked to the sidelines, called Arteta over, and said a few words.

Arteta then moved forward, flanking Montolivo and it looked as if Fiorentina had started a duo.

Before moving to Fiorentina, Arteta played as a central midfielder at Everton, and after the transfer, although he also played well in the midfield position, he did not need to adapt to returning to a familiar position.

In the 55th minute of the game, Gilardino dribbled laterally in the penalty area. Silva broke off and the ball was passed two or three feet before reaching Arteta's feet.

After the Spaniard received the ball, he first observed it, and then sent a through ball, in the first half, because he had to stand in the position of the back to assist the defense, even if he passed, it was more of a pick-up pass, losing his suddenness, and now the position is premise, without the pressure of defense, his passing skills are immediately shown.

At the moment when Arteta passed the ball, Digan, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly started, shook off Ambrosini who defended him, and went directly into the Milan team's penalty area, gently collared the ball with his left foot, dodged Nesta's tackle, and then stabbed a shot on his right heel.

Carraci couldn't react and wanted to pounce on the ball, but the distance was too close for him to react, so he could only watch as the ball passed between his legs.

"Dangerous ~~~~~~~~~~"

Seeing that the football was about to roll into the goal, at this critical moment, Maldini suddenly rushed from the side and made a flying tackle, which was worthy of the goal line, and shoveled the ball out of the bottom line.

Ancelotti on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief, and Degan was so scared that his stomach almost burst.

Lucky!

Lucky!

The first blow was not successful, and in the next game, Fiorentina began to deliberately shrink the defensive line, allowing AC Milan to attack, and the double-striker tactics allowed Milan to occupy a big advantage in the Fiorentina penalty area, but unfortunately it was impossible to score.

As the time of the game passed, the AC Milan players who had not been able to attack for a long time began to become impatient, especially Pato, who carried a big responsibility on his small shoulders, which made him extremely eager to show his strength in the game, but the more anxious he was, the more the football was awkward with him, and he couldn't play any way.

Prandelli, who was on the sidelines, saw that the fire was almost over, walked to the sidelines, blew the whistle, and the Fiorentina players knew that this was the horn of the attack.

Frei once again held Pato's weak shot in his arms, got up, and directly threw the ball to attack, after Arteta got the ball, he didn't even look up, he passed the ball directly to the left front, Montolivo followed up in time, and after taking two steps laterally, he suddenly chose to attack in the middle, shook Brockie and split the ball, and Cavinaghi hit the defender with a volley from the right.

Unfortunately, the ball could not bounce far, and then Digan took the ball from outside the penalty area, then burst directly into the right side of the penalty area, and 14 meters from the goal, volleyed wide of the near post.

Immediately after Milan took a goal kick, Kaka received the ball and broke through, passed the ball to Pato, after Pato got the ball, when the angle was already small, he shot directly over the crossbar, and Gilardino, who was waiting in the middle to answer, looked very dissatisfied.

Gilardino is not as good as Seedorf, as a striker, he is also full of hunger for scoring goals, seeing such a good opportunity, because of Pato's selfishness missed, he didn't even think about it, and yelled at Pato.

"Boy! Am I transparent? Pass! Pass! ”

Gilardino wasn't interested in being Pato's babysitter, and he didn't care how much Milan cared for the hairy boy.

Pato was scolded by Gilardino, his face was not depressed, he didn't speak, he lowered his head and ran away.

"How? Do you think that kid can be your opponent? Montolivo laughed.

Deegan looked at Pato and sneered: "That kid is still far away!" ”

Pato's talent is undoubted, but this kid's mental quality is a little worse, when the wind is smooth, he is definitely a top striker, but once he encounters a setback, he doesn't know how to relieve the pressure at all.

In the 71st minute, Cavinaghi received a long pass from the right and fired a left-footed volley from 5 meters in front of the goal, which was blocked by Karachi at the near post.

Carlo Ancelotti then made another substitution, bringing on Emerson for Brocki, and the veteran Brazilian threatened from the start, as he smashed a series of crotch runs past Montolivo on the right and fired a left-footed shot wide of the far post.

In the 77th minute, Fiorentina once again got a good opportunity to counterattack, Arteta quickly rushed after getting the ball, a long pass in the midfield, Montolivo crossed the ball directly from the right rib, Digan stopped the ball on his chest, dodged Nesta with his right foot, followed by a left-footed volley, the football went straight into the dead corner, and Fiorentina broke the deadlock 1:0!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”

The ball is in!

After the goal, Deegan roared and ran to the sidelines, spreading his arms and enjoying the cheers of the fans, who had scored his 26th goal this season.

Thanks Deegan! 152!

"Rod! It's Rhodes scoring again! When Fiorentina needed a goal to break the deadlock, Rhodes scored to give Fiorentina the lead. ”

"AC Milan's Brazilian kid take a good look! If you want to challenge Degan, you're a few streets away! ”

Ancelotti's face darkened at the moment of Digan's goal, obviously the situation was good, but at this time, Digan scored, and the balance on the field was broken, what should AC Milan do next?

Pato's eyes gradually froze, when Digan scored the ball, he was standing outside the Milan penalty area, Digan's series of movements, he saw it clearly, and asked himself, if the same opportunity was placed in front of him, I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to complete it as easily as Digan.

Not only should you pay attention to the direction in which the ball is flying, but also observe the defenders around you, and the moment you get the ball, even if you make an evasive move, dodge Nesta's steal, and then complete the shot with the momentum, and the angle is so good.

Can I do it?

Pato, who has always been conceited, doubts himself for the first time!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, AC Milan fell behind in the score, and it was just when it was necessary to counterattack and equalize, suddenly there was a sudden change on the field, Pato was breaking through with the ball, and suddenly fell to the ground without physical contact at all, holding his leg and moaning in pain.

Thiago in charge of defending Pato. Silva was also at a loss, completely unaware of what was going on!

When the referee came, Thiago. Silva was still explaining to the referee, who approached and checked Pato's situation, and he could see clearly that the two men had no physical contact at all, and waved to the sidelines.

Ancelotti didn't know what the situation was, but he saw Pato suddenly fall to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning, and when he saw the referee suspend the game, he quickly let the team doctor enter the field to check the details.

"What's the situation!?"

Seeing that in front of the penalty area, a large group of Milan team doctors were surrounding Pato, one by one with sad faces, as if they had encountered a problem, Montolivo asked very casually.

Digan was holding his shoulder, and he was very disgusted by the sudden interruption of a game like this, so in the Fiorentina team, very few players would deliberately fall to the ground to delay time, and even if they were really injured, they would not lie on the ground and wait for treatment, but left the field on their own.

Hearing Montolivo's inquiry, Digan shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "The body of glass, the heart of jade!" ”

Pato is injured again!

This was the most heard topic about Milan in Degan's previous life.

In previous lives, the first thing that people thought of when they mentioned Pato was not his skills, but his fragile legs, which would have a little problem every once in a while, and sometimes he would be injured again after just two or three games of resuming the game, and so on, as if he would never stop.

Because of injuries, many people are less and less optimistic about Pato's future in Milan, and some fans think that there are problems with the way he plays and handles the ball, that is, he does not know how to change the rhythm and cooperate with the ball forward, so he hates iron and steel, and no longer has great hopes for it.

When Pato first came to Milan, it can be said that the scenery is infinite, and the fans think that the new "Sheva" was born, why did it fall to such a point later?

Is it really an injury problem?

Of course, injury is the biggest factor, followed by his inadaptability to Milan's tactical system, Pato is characterized by fast speed, excellent sense of smell on the field, his characteristics need to be supported by someone behind him to pass the ball, but in Milan City, although people will give him enough care at the beginning, but will not take care of him for a lifetime, he always needs to adapt to himself, but Pato does not have such a strong heart.

Pato is a genius, but it was only too many injuries and the lack of adaptation to the tactical system to get to where he came later, and more importantly, because of his talent, because he thinks very highly of himself, because of his pride, so his relationship with his teammates has not been good.

Of course, there are other factors, Pato is constantly plagued by injuries, and it is not all due to his personal reasons, Pato's incredible speed was one of his killer features at the beginning of his move to Milan, but at that time he was still a little weak. So the Milan club arranged for Pato to undergo high-intensity muscle training, hoping to help him strengthen his physique and improve his explosiveness, but what everyone didn't expect was that this seedling-fueled muscle strengthening process ruined Pato.

As Deegan remembers, Pato has experienced more than a dozen major injuries and spent more time recuperating than he did in competitions. The constant injuries have not only made Pato's physical performance decline, but also seriously affected the Brazilian striker's psyche.

As a result, it is becoming more and more difficult to see Pato use his speed to get rid of the opponent on the court, and he is afraid of injury, he always avoids the opposing players to play in the game, which also makes it difficult for Pato to perform well when he is healthy.

In short, there are many reasons that finally ruined this Brazilian genius that was expected by countless people.

Now, that's just the beginning!

Sure enough, after being monitored by the Milan team doctor for a while, Ancelotti could only make reluctantly adjustments, Gourcuff came on and replaced Pato, and Milan reverted to a double-forward formation.

It's just that Pato's speed is missing, and although Gilardino's impact is very strong, attacking with the ball is not his forte, so Fiorentina's defensive pressure is also much less.

Although in the Zuihou moment of the game, Kaka and Gourcuff played a delicate combination and sent the ball into the penalty area, but unfortunately Gilardino Zuihou's shot was a little outrageous, and Milan also missed Zuihou's equalizer.

1:0!

Fiorentina didn't win this game easily, and Milan didn't lose it too badly.

Ancelotti did not become as angry after losing the game as he used to this time, and now for him, a league win or defeat is irrelevant, and Milan's illusions of the title can be dispelled a long time ago.

Now, Ancelotti is clearly more concerned about Pato's injury.

Although Inzaghi has begun training with the team, it is difficult to say when he will be able to play for the team, Ronaldo is basically scrapped, although Galliani and Berlusconi have told reporters that AC Milan will not give up on aliens, but those words, in fact, can only be to deceive the ghost, if Pato is injured again, Ancelotti will only have one Gilardino left in his hands for the time being, how to deal with the next league, the Champions Cup, Ancelotti thinks about it, it will collapse.

'It was a great game today, we both got a lot of chances, but obviously luck wasn't on our side today, if you lose the game, the result may be hard to accept, but football is like that, no one can predict the result, the main concern now is Pato's injury, he is a very important part of Milan and we all wish him well!'

Now Ancelotti can only pray, but in the past few years, the three Champions League trophies seem to have consumed God's favor for him.

The next day, AC Milan's official website announced the latest news that the team's talented teenager Pato will be out of action for a month and a half due to a thigh muscle strain.

As soon as the news was released, the entire city of Milan collapsed.

No one is unaware of Pato's importance to Milan these days, just look at the distribution of goals in recent games, Pato has scored five goals alone, one each for Gilardino and Andrea Pirlo, and two for Ronaldo.

Of the nine goals, Pato alone contributed more than half, and now the fans have been eagerly looking forward to it for half a year, waiting for such a result.

Finally, someone couldn't help it: "I don't understand what the team has done in the transfer market in recent years, look at the current Fiorentina, look at his Digan, those goals and the first place in the standings should have been ours, but they were ruined by the two idiots of Galliani and Ancelotti!" ”

Whenever Milan's forward line has a problem, people are used to thinking of Degan, and it is almost becoming a routine.

This time neither Galliani nor Ancelotti refuted, but a line appeared on the official Milan website: Please pay attention now!

Right now? Of course, it's Pato!

It's just that no one knows how long this has been worth people's attention now!
