Chapter 52: Tickets

AC Milan defeated Manchester United 3-0, and met Liverpool in Athens in this season's European Champions League final, this result probably no one would have expected before the game, but AC Milan really did it, and all kinds of debates about Italian football and AC Milan can finally subside, AC Milan's victory, the significance is not only in the promotion to the final itself, for AC Milan, for Italian football, this victory has immeasurable significance.

"We have earned dignity for Serie A." This is what Kaka said in an interview after the game, and the mild-mannered Brazilian handsome guy also showed such a domineering side for the first time when facing the media.

AC Milan justifies Italian football! 》

This is the headline on the front page of the Milan sports newspaper after the game, and the decline of Serie A is already a thing of the past after the outbreak of phone gate time.

Especially this season, when the situation of "the top three in the Premier League surround Milan" was formed, when Inter Milan, who had won 17 consecutive games in Serie A, was out of the Champions Cup, and when Manchester United's bloody "massacre" against Roma at Old Trafford began, almost no one could get to today's result. The two biggest favorites Manchester United and Chelsea have fallen one after another, AC Milan and Liverpool will meet in the semi-finals of the Champions Cup, and Italian football, which is in the trough, has not lost to anyone.

Maybe a shijie cup is not enough to prove the level of the league, after Inter Milan's victory, in the face of Valencia's outing, once again made many people doubt Italian football, in fact, with the outbreak of the "phonegate incident", Juventus's relegation, some mixed teams exist in Serie A, this season's Serie A, to say a bad word, is indeed the worst Serie A in recent years.

However, it would be too biased to take Roma's 1:7 vs Manchester United and Valencia's elimination of Inter Milan, which can be said to dominate Italian football, as a yardstick to measure the gap between Serie A and the Premier League and La Liga.

"The right score for that game would have been 1:3, and you can't play it a hundred times."

This is Roma's flag player Totti's evaluation of the 1:7 game, the game always has a chance to exist, if the runner-up of Serie A lost to the Premier League champions 6, then how to explain AC Milan's 3:0 score against Manchester United?

?

This score is definitely not a reaction of the normal strength of both teams.

The decline of Serie A is an indisputable fact, but the decline in the level is more reflected in the middle and lower teams, and the Anglo-Italian duel in the final of the European Champions Cup has re-established the name of Italian football.

In fact, in recent years, regardless of the domestic record, in the European arena, AC Milan has always been the most recorded Serie A team, now look back at Vieira's "AC Milan should not have Champions League qualification" how stupid, if this is the case, Serie A's record in the Champions Cup this season ended with a 1:7 Roma vs Manchester United, I am afraid that the next few seasons of Serie A will be a heavy blow.

Although the domestic record this season is not good, until now AC Milan's Champions Cup place for next season has not been finalized, but AC Milan specializes in the Champions Cup characteristics and has not lost it this season.

As the only team to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League every year in the last five years, AC Milan's results are no accident.

Carlo Ancelotti explained after the game: "I think there are some teams that do better in the cups, these games require more rhythm, determination and focus than in the league, I have said that there is no second team in Shijie that can prepare for the Champions League like AC Milan, we try to create the best conditions to show our best form in the Champions League." ”

Indeed, the goal of the Milan Lab's annual winter training is to adjust the team's condition to the best before the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In addition, the wealth of experience accumulated by the team's veterans in the Champions League is an asset that the team is increasing every season.

On the contrary, although Inter Milan has outstanding overall strength, a large number of stars are hoarded in various positions, but Moratti obviously attaches more importance to the domestic league, Inter Milan has not won the league championship for 18 years, Moratti's desire for the league championship exceeds everything, before the start of this season, the club set the first goal on the league championship, the team has a long season, it is unlikely to maintain a consistent rhythm and state, to be able to maintain the first goal of the front, has been in the best condition, it is not easy, Inter Milan's exit in the Champions Cup is understandable, it has nothing to do with strength. Moratti has adjusted his primary goal for next season to the Champions Cup, and it is believed that the Nerazzurri will also have a lot to watch in next year's Champions Cup.

Roma lost because they were inexperienced, too young, and full of confidence when they went to Old Trafford, but when adversity sudden, they were unprepared and resigned, in contrast, in the Champions Cup, if the Serie A team wants to achieve results, it is still to look at AC Milan and Juventus.

A 3:0, AC Milan won the respect of the whole of Italian football, from the phonegate incident to the march into Athens, it is not easy for AC Milan to achieve today's results in such a season.

Due to the sudden incident, many AC Milan players had to give up the summer vacation to play the Champions Cup qualifiers, and the summer preparations were also forced to be cancelled, which affected AC Milan for half a season. Despite this, in the first half of the league, AC Milan used all their energy to compete in the Champions League, qualifying from the group one round ahead of schedule, paving the way for their current results.

I have to say that this is also thanks to the good signing of AC Milan, several opponents in the group stage are indeed not strong, and the first opponent in the knockout round is Celtic, and when they meet Manchester United, the team's state has also been adjusted, and when it comes to the sky, AC Milan is destined to enter Athens.

Without summer training, suffering the psychological blow of penalty points, and the goal of the top four in the league was threatened, in such a situation, AC Milan can tenaciously get out of the predicament and enter Athens, which should be respected by Shijie.

Ferguson called AC Milan a "wonderful winner" after the game, Spanish newspaper Ace called AC Milan "a great team who know the key to victory", and "Kicker" said that "AC Milan's final against Liverpool was the perfect ending".

The team has come out of the physical predicament and has successfully overcome the psychological difficulties, which is not something that all teams can do, and now it seems that AC Milan have a good chance of finishing in the top four or even the top three in the league.

In the Champions Cup, AC Milan is still one step away from winning the trophy for Zuihou, whether Zuihou can take this step or not, in this "dark season", AC Milan's achievements can be regarded as extremely successful.

Reflecting on the terrible outbreak of the Italian team last summer amid the negative press, perhaps this is the spirit and essence of Italian football.

Ancelotti is confident that he will achieve his goal of this season and make a big breakthrough in the Champions League: "The night in Istanbul will not be here, the game from two years ago still haunts us all the time, but that bad game will not be a burden for us, it will only be our motivation, and of course the battle of Athens cannot be called revenge, it should be said to be a battle of righteousness!" ”

For Ancelotti, it should indeed be said that he is very lucky, reaching the final of Zuihou for three consecutive seasons, the first time if it can be said that AC Milan is the real strength, then the remaining two can only be said to be a Jiren Tianxiang, Ancelotti is not a Jiren I don't know, but in the Champions League for two consecutive years, the sky is indeed on his side.

In last year's Champions League, when Carlo Ancelotti suffered a crisis of confidence, Digan stepped up, starting from the game against Bayern Munich, his consecutive goals, as well as a hat-trick in the final, allowed AC Milan to finally lift the championship trophy, this season when AC Milan suffered a heavy blow, Ancelotti's position was also unstable, Kaka became his savior again.

Carlo Ancelotti should indeed be proud to have led his team to three Champions League finals in a row, which is no ordinary achievement, and if he can finally defend his title, Ancelotti's name will be written into the history of the Champions League.

However, the Champions League is going smoothly, but in the league, AC Milan still has to face a lot of challenges, although theoretically there is still hope of fighting for the top three, but there are still four rounds left in the league, and the difference between Lazio and the third place is five points, and fighting for the top three can only be a hope.

The top three in the league are basically hopeless, and the current fourth place is threatened by Fiorentina at all times, and the gap between the two teams is now only two points.

Four rounds of the league, AC Milan's competitors are Catania, Udinese and Empoli, of which Catania has no desire, Udinese has ensured the qualification for the League Cup, but Udinese has not acted as a spoiler in the league once or twice, even Inter Milan does not dare to say that it will win when it meets the black chicken, and Empoli, the super dark horse in the first half of the Serie A season, although it has begun to fade, but there is still hope for the Union Cup ticket, They certainly won't give up easily in this game.

What about Florence?

They have to face Cagliari, Messina and Palermo respectively, of which Cagliari also has no desire, no worries about relegation, and there is no hope of qualifying for the European arena, Messina has been relegated, Palermo has locked the Union Cup seat, and the heart of this game will not be very big.

The key is the first round of the league, the direct dialogue between the two teams, basically it can be said that this game will finally determine the general trend of Serie A next season.

'There's nothing wrong with the Champions League tickets, I'm going to do what the club has to do, the top four is the minimum we want to do, Fiorentina think they have a chance, then they're really wrong!'

Ancelotti Weishenme so confident?

People don't know!

Presumably he was infected by Ibrahimovic.

If AC Milan are overtaken by Fiorentina in the final league standings, what will happen even if they win the Champions League?

In 2000, such a situation once appeared in Spain, when Real Madrid won the Champions League, but the league ranked fifth, and finally Real Madrid launched all the public relations strategies, and even the Spanish royal family came forward, and Zaragoza, who ranked fourth in the league, could only reluctantly choose to compromise and give up the Champions League seats that were hard to get, only to play the League Cup, and was eliminated by penalties in the first round.

In the 04/05 season, the loopholes in the rules were once again exposed, and Liverpool reversed Milan to win the Champions League, while they were only fifth in the league and began to look for exceptions.

UEFA kicked the ball to the FA as usual, but the Englishman strongly stated that "Everton will definitely play in the Champions League as the fourth place in the Premier League", while exerting pressure to give Liverpool a wild card, and UEFA finally compromised.

Liverpool were treated on an exceptional basis and received a wild card for next season's Champions League, but UEFA also set up several obstacles: 1) it needs to start from the first round of qualifying, which means that the team will prepare for the game one to two months earlier than the other teams, and 2) there is no "national protection", that is, there is no guarantee that clubs from the same member state will not meet before the knockout round.

I don't know if it was providence or artificiality, Liverpool and Chelsea, who passed the qualifiers, were indeed placed in the same group.

Now it seems that such a situation may happen to AC Milan again, but if Fiorentina wants to give up their Champions League place to AC Milan, everyone knows that this situation will never happen, even if De La Valleken develops his style, Digan will not agree.

"Ancelotti is confident? That's good, but I hope that when we play it off, he will still have that confidence, and when the time comes, I will beat the San Siro and AC Milan will not expect us to give us a place in the Champions League, Fiorentina will be decided! Of course, President Berlusconi can threaten not to broadcast Serie A and see if we will bow our heads! ”

Before the start of the 35th round of the league, Deegan said sarcastically in an interview with the media.

In the 35th round of the league, Fiorentina faced Cagliari at home, the game was just seven minutes into the game, Digan took a free kick and bounced into the air on the wall, Paccini grabbed the header before goalkeeper Chimenti, although the Cagliari defender chased back to clear, but the ball still bounced into the net.

In the fifteenth minute, Digan drove straight into the middle with the ball, and after shaking three defenders in a row, he pushed the far corner of the goal to the next goal, expanding the score to 2:0 and expanding the number of goals he scored this season to 38!

At the start of the second half, Deegan smashed the ball into Cagliari's goal again from a corner.

3:0!

In the end, Fiorentina won a complete away game, and Digan was only one away from 40 goals in a single season!

Ibrahimovic also scored in this round, but his goal is no longer cared about, and everyone knows that by the end of the season, the Swede will definitely perform a nude show on the streets of Florence, and then just grab the camera!

AC Milan also won the game, and thanks to goals from Kaka and Inzaghi, AC Milan won at home to Catania and continued their two-point lead over Fiorentina.

In the 36th round of the league, Fiorentina sat at home to face Siena, after losing a number of main players this season, Siena's combat effectiveness has almost dropped to the freezing point, the league ranks first, if they want to turn over, they can only hope for the birth of a miracle.

In this game, although Siena worked hard, but the gap in strength between the two sides, or let the game be divided early, the first half was not over, Digan had already completed two passes and one shot, not only scored by himself, but also assisted Cavinaghi and Motta to score, in the second half, the morale of Siena was even more without the heart to resist, and finally Cavinaghi went to the next city, locking the score at 4:0!

Although Deegan only scored one goal, he completed a hat-trick of assists, and I believe that no one will talk about Degan's selfishness anymore.

Ibrahimovic scored twice in this round of the game, and looking at his performance on the field, it seems that he has really not given up hope, but with a gap of eight goals, it is really not easy to catch up for a while.

AC Milan also won, this time it was Kaka who stepped up, he scored two shots and one pass in the game, won two of his own, and also assisted Ronaldo to score a goal.

The rivalry between Fiorentina and AC Milan for Champions League tickets is now on the verge of turning into a showdown between the Wright brothers.

In the 37th round of the league, Fiorentina won again against Palermo, this time Digan did not score, but provided three more assists, and gradually recovered in the second half of the season, and Cavinaji, who began to integrate into the team, scored his first hat-trick since joining Fiorentina in this game.

According to the latest news released by Inter Milan, the Swede has a groin muscle strain, and there is still one round of the league left this season, and it is destined to not be able to participate.

The only remaining suspense in Serie A this season is the competition between Fiorentina and AC Milan for a ticket to next season's Champions League.

In the first round of the league, the two teams will end this suspense at the San Siro, and when the time comes, Digan will return to San Siro for the first time since leaving AC Milan, and the return of many former Milan players in the Fiorentina team will undoubtedly become the biggest attraction.

However, before that, a move by AC Milan caught Fiorentina off guard, and AC Milan's executive chairman Galliani actually asked to postpone the first round of the league until after the Champions League final.
