After the 2-1 victory over Palermo, in the ninth round of the league, AC Milan visited the Castellani Stadium and defeated Empoli 3-1, making it six consecutive league wins.

Gilardino scored twice to put the lead after conceding the first goal, and Vieri also scored his first goal since joining AC Milan. In the standings, AC Milan and Juventus, who have won all nine rounds, continue to maintain a three-point gap.

After the game, Ancelotti also said excitedly: "Milan is normal now, we are on the right path now, no one can stop us from moving forward, Gilardino and Vieri's goals came at the right time!" ”

Maybe Ancelotti has another meaning, since these strikers are in good shape at the moment, Digan, who is still recovering from injuries in Belgium, naturally does not need it.

In the 10th round of the league, AC Milan defeated the opponent 3:1 in the face-to-face battle with the championship rival Juventus at the San Siro Stadium, achieving seven consecutive league wins, and ending the opponent's nine-game winning streak since the start of the new season, tying the opponent in the standings, and regaining the top position with a goal difference.

AC Milan's lineup in this game is incomplete, Nesta, Shevchenko continue to be absent, Gattuso is also rotated due to physical problems, and even before the game starts, no one is optimistic that AC Milan can beat Juventus, but football is round, anything can happen.

In the first half, Cannavaro and Buffon, the two top stars in their respective positions, gave big gifts one after another, Seedorf, Kaka, Pirlo scored three goals in a row, AC Milan unbelievably took a three-goal lead in the first half, and Juventus's attack was fierce, but in the end it was only a consolation goal scored by Trezeguet.

After the victory over Juventus, Ancelotti said even more arrogantly in an interview with reporters after the game: "The season has just started now, and we will continue to win until the end of the season!" ”

In the next 11th round of the league, AC Milan did continue their victory, beating Udinese 5-1, winning eight consecutive league games and still occupying the top position in the league.

Gilardino scored twice in the game to break the home goal drought since the transfer, taking the number of league goals this season to six, surpassing Shevchenko to second place with AC Milan. Seedorf, Andrea Pirlo and Kaka each scored a goal, while Inzaghi came off the bench to provide two assists.

Gilardino is in great form, and Carlo Ancelotti is the happiest, as long as the strikers he has now can maintain a consistent goalscoring efficiency, even if Digan comes, he can have an excuse not to do so.

But there is a word on this shijie called happiness and sorrow, and Ancelotti is like that.

In the twelfth round of the league, AC Milan visited the Frankie Stadium to challenge Fiorentina, in the first half, Fiorentina's leading striker Toney opened the scoring, and then Gilardino headed the equalizer, AC Milan immediately occupied the initiative on the field, but at the beginning of the second half, Fiorentina a quick counterattack, Jorgensen shot beyond the score, and then Milan veteran Brocki handball in the penalty area after that, but escaped the penalty, Gilardino's header into the net was ruled invalid, before the end, Toni scored twice after that, and the goal reached 15 this season, second only to Degan's 21 goals in the scorer list.

'We weren't very lucky in this game, but we have to see the positives, Gilardino scored again, he's been in great form lately and I'm sure he'll continue it and Shevchenko will be back in the next league game and we'll be back on the right track!"

Carlo Ancelotti vowed to have confidence in his squad, but in the Champions League in midweek, they lost 1-0 to PSV Eindhoven, and one of his substitutions in the game was once again questioned.

AC Milan, who suffered two consecutive defeats, recovered their form in the 13th round of the league that followed, narrowly beating Lecce 2-1 at home and losing all away, and the gap with Juventus, who drew in this round, was reduced to two points.

In the first half, Andrea Pirlo converted a free-kick, but in the second half, AC Milan's defensive mistake was levelled until the fourth minute of stoppage time, when substitute Inzaghi scored the winning goal.

This was followed by a 4-0 win at Fenerbahce at AC Milan in the Champions League in midweek.

In the 14th round of the league, AC Milan, which had just recovered its form, lost 1:2 away to Chievo, suffering its second defeat in the last three rounds.

Kaladze opened the scoring but Chievo equalised in first-half stoppage time before Tiriboki, who came on as a substitute for less than two minutes, scored the winner in the second half.

In a crucial game that followed, Juventus beat Fiorentina away to extend their lead to five points.

When this round of Serie A is over, Digan has also completed the first phase of treatment and returned to Italy, and then he will continue to receive restorative treatment in Milanello, as for the question of when he can pay, it is not only his injury, but also Ancelotti.

In the fifteenth round of the league, AC Milan and Inter Milan staged a Milan derby, and Digan also appeared in the stands for the first time after being injured.

It was the 263rd Milan derby, with no surprises as Kaladze replaced the injured Maldini, Shevchenko wore the captain's armband for the first time in a derby, and Nesta returned from injury.

In the second minute of the game, Kaladze and Martins competed, and the left eyebrow bone was hit by Martins' elbow.

In the seventh minute, Stankovic received a short pass from Veron, and 18 meters in front of the goal, his right-footed volley swept across the right corner.

Just a minute later, it was Stankovic's cross from the right that Martins followed up in time but couldn't get it right.

In the twelfth minute, Martins crossed from the left, Adriano chested the ball and fired a left-footed hook high.

At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan dominated the field.

In the seventeenth minute, Inter Milan broke the ball at the back and launched a quick counterattack, Adriano cut across the right to get rid of Kaladze, and fired a low left-footed shot wide.

In the 23rd minute, the game suddenly had an unexpected change, Cambiaso passed, Martins forced into the penalty area, drilled through the stam and Nesta's clamping, Martins' hand action made Nesta fall to the ground and touch the ball with his left arm, the referee blew a penalty, Adriano took the knife, and hit the lower right corner with a strong left-footed volley, Inter took the lead 1:0.

In the 28th minute, Samuel tripped Shevchenko, AC Milan won a free kick from 19 meters in front of the goal, and Shevchenko sprinted from a long distance and volleyed with his right foot to the wall.

In the 32nd minute, Veron took a corner kick from the left, and Gattuso headed it back near the baseline and almost sent the ball to the feet of the opposing player. A minute later, Figo broke through on the left flank and fired a left-footed volley wide of the far post.

In the 37th minute, Gilardino was tripped by Córdoba, Pirlo's free kick hit the wall, and the referee blew the whistle again, and it was another penalty.

From the slow mirror, Cambiasso put the ball on Stankovic's left hand, and Shevchenko pushed his right foot into the bottom right corner, 1:1.

At half-time, the two sides were tied 1-1, and in the second half, the two sides changed sides again, and in the third minute, Stam crossed from the right, and Gilardino headed wide of the far post. A minute later, AC Milan had a good chance to take the lead, Gilardino dribbled past Favali, Samuel and Córdoba on the right side, and pushed the ball to Shevchenko, who was in front of him, Shevchenko pushed with his left foot, but because his feet slipped and Liliang, the ball was blocked by Zanetti.

As the game became more and more intense, the movements of the double anti-reverse players on the field became bigger and bigger, Kaka broke through in the middle, Veron made a move behind his back, and the two immediately rubbed, and the referee played fifty boards each, and one person had a yellow card.

In the 59th minute of the game, Adriano forced a breakthrough and fell to the ground, and his free kick went straight to the bottom right corner of the wall, Dida pounced on the side to seal the ball, Martins quickly caught up, and scored with his right foot in front of the goal to the bottom left corner, and Inter led 2:1 again.

AC Milan, who were trailing behind, then launched a frantic counter-attack, starting with Gattuso's rare cross from the right, and Zanetti scrambled in front of Shevchenko to head the line. Andrea Pirlo's long-range shot was then denied by Cesar and Kaka's powerful right-footed volley from the left was met by Córdoba's header at the far post and bounced off the touchline.

Ancelotti then replaced Gilardino with Vieri, who played for Inter last season, and there were boos in the stadium.

In the 80th minute, Vieri leaned on Samuel and crossed, Kaka won the ball and fired a powerful shot that hit Córdoba's leg and curled wide of the far post.

In the eighty-third minute, AC Milan, who was attacking non-stop, finally equalized, Veron fouled Pirlo, Pirlo took a free kick from the right side, Stam jumped high and smashed his header into the bottom right corner, 2:2!

Then Mancini replaced Martins with super substitute Crews, and in the eighty-seventh minute, Cruise, who had just come on the field, received Veron's corner kick, and the header rubbed back, Adriano followed, and nodded the ball in the back, 3:2!

In the end, Inter Milan defeated AC Milan 3:2 with Adriano's stunner, and at the same time overtook their city rivals in the standings and rose to second place, the leader continued to win, and the gap with AC Milan has widened to 8 points.

After losing the derby, people once again pointed the finger at Ancelotti, but Ancelotti did not lose the game, but refused to give in: "There was no problem with the game itself, the players played very well, but today's luck was not on our side. ”

As if specifically to verify Ancelotti's words, AC Milan then ushered in a wave of three consecutive wins, first in the sixteenth round of the league.

AC Milan beat Messina 4-0 at home, extending the record of winning all home games in the league this season, and stopped the momentum of two consecutive defeats, narrowing the gap with Juventus to five points.

Captain Andriy Shevchenko scored twice before Andrea Pirlo's fourth free-kick of the season and Gilardino netted his eighth league goal of the season.

In the 17th round of the league competition, AC Milan defeated Wono 3-0 away, ending the opponent's unbeaten home record. Gilardino scored twice to move up to fourth place in the league scoring charts with 10 league goals this season, while Shevchenko netted just before the break to make it 3-0.

In the eighteenth round of the league, AC Milan narrowly defeated Parma 4:3 at home, surpassing Inter Milan in points and jumping to second place in the standings, 5 points behind Juventus.

In the first half, Dida made a mistake to send a goal, but Parma captain Cardone immediately set up an own goal, and goals from Gilardino and Kaka extended the score to 3:1. In the second half, Andriy Shevchenko added another goal and Parma scored twice through Marchioni as AC Milan scored the three points on thin ice.

After winning three in a row, Ancelotti's courage suddenly became a little more bold: "I said, we have no problem now, the players are in very good shape, especially the strikers, Shevchenko's form has been very stable, Gilardino has also regained his original form at Parma, Inzaghi, I know him very well, he is also familiar with his current position in Milan, and he is very welcome to this healthy competition." ”

Gilardino is in very good shape, in the last three rounds, he has scored four goals, although the number of goals is not as good as Digan, but the victory is in continuity, no one is comparing him with Vieri anymore, and even some media said: With Gilardino, Milan no longer needs Digan!

Does Milan not need Digan anymore?

At least in Ancelotti's eyes, after three months out due to injury, Degan has started training with the whole team and has shown good form in training, but Ancelotti has chosen to ignore it.

Even after the win over Parma, Ancelotti said on the phone with Galliani that he is not interrupting to change the main lineup, that Degan has become dispensable under him, and that he even hopes to loan Deegan out and maintain his form if he can.

And Galliani rarely spoke this time.

However, Digan did not leave in the end, but another man in the front line left, and when Shevchenko's position was unshakable, Gilardino began to erupt, and Inzaghi also began to score, Vieri, who did not get a chance to play, could only choose to leave gloomily.
