Chapter 40: Italy Gets Wondering More and More (Part II)
The second leg of the 1/8 finals of the European Champions Cup was rekindled, after drawing with Celtic at home AC Milan, this time visiting Scotland, or after extra time, it was a difficult victory over Celtic 1:0 and advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 1:0.
AC Milan's biggest contributor to this game was Kaka, who scored the winning goal in stoppage time through a long-distance run, and after this game, Kaka also topped the Champions League scorer list with six goals.
AC Milan did not break the deadlock until extra-time against Celtic, and Carlo Ancelotti's 'single striker' tactics were once again questioned after the game.
In this game, Ancelotti discharged four midfielders, including Gattuso, Ambrosini, Pirlo three defensive midfielders at the same time, compared to the normal formation, Ambrosini is an extra element, in this regard, Ancelotti explained in the post-match press conference: "We are not careful, with the help of Ambrosini, our midfield showed a clear advantage, Ambrosini has excellent air superiority, and the full-backs pressed very big today, In the 90 minutes we had some ups and downs in the fifth or sixth minutes because we pressed forward a bit and gave too many chances at the back, but on top of that, I was always confident that if we were patient, we would have scored. โ
Indeed, in the control of the midfield, AC Milan did have the advantage, and in the 120 minutes of the game, the difference in the number of shots on goal between the two sides was 30:5.
However, among the 30 shots on goal, AC Milan's two strikers Inzaghi and Gilardino only accounted for 3 of them, and from the statistical point of view, Kaka, who completed 9 shots, was AC Milan's main attack point.
AC Milan's shots are more of a threat from long range and set-pieces, and it is clear that, although as Carlo Ancelotti said, the central striker attracts the opposition defence, but the threat of the striker is weakened, and the attacking area is far away from the opposition goal.
In this game, he returned from injury?
Zaghi played very the field, in fact, in the fighting style of the coaches of both sides, Strachan's tactics were successful, Heselink, Yarosik and others strengthened the front court pressing, forcing AC Milan to use long pass tactics frequently, and Inzaghi was obviously not suitable for such tactics, AC Milan had a low success rate of long passes in the first half of the first half to the second half, and this situation did not change until Gilardino came on the field.
"Milan Sport" also said after the game: "With Kaka alone behind him, Inzaghi seems too isolated. โ
Indeed, Carlo Ancelotti made only two substitutions in the game, the striker replaced the striker and the midfielder replaced the midfielder, and the single striker never changed.
Ancelotti did not say his subtext at the press conference: because the first leg was 0:0, as long as Celtic scored one in this round, AC Milan was dangerous, in order to avoid this passive situation, in 90 minutes, Ancelotti had to defend first, but in extra time, AC Milan's fitness reached a critical point, Ancelotti could only gamble, so AC Milan played more actively.
This is obviously Ancelotti's lack of confidence in his team's attack, he himself is conservative on the one hand, on the other hand, it is also an option under great pressure, if a slip is out, I am afraid that the only result waiting for him is to get out of class.
However, it is difficult to say that the style of play of a single striker is so effective, and two seasons ago, AC Milan were the Celtic who won comfortably 3-1 at home.
In the run-up to Christmas, the lone striker's style of play helped AC Milan turn things around, winning at home to Catania and away to Udinese.
But the situation is different now, when AC Milan were not in good shape, the opponents were more open to them, and the overall fitness of the team was not good, and the defensive manpower in midfield needed to be increased.
But after the physical reserves of the winter, the above problems are gone, and in the last 9 rounds of 7 wins and 2 draws, second only to Inter Milan and Fiorentina, the opponent gives AC Milan less space in defense, and the single striker is unlikely to get as many opportunities as in the past, just like today's game, Kaka had a flash of inspiration and let AC Milan successfully advance, but this is not an absolute chance, what if Borush saves that single knife?
Will Carlo Ancelotti play a penalty shootout with Celtic in a single-striker formation?
AC Milan have qualified, but the next opponent will definitely be stronger than Celtic, and it is difficult to say how far Ancelotti can take this team if his thinking remains the same.
Carlo Ancelotti is confident of AC Milan's next run in the Champions League: "AC Milan can challenge any of the other seven teams, we have reached the quarter-finals in the last five years and this season is no different. โ
The reporters also asked, Ancelotti used a single striker tactic in this game, of course Ancelotti will not admit that he is conservative, but everyone knows that Berlusconi prefers a two-striker strategy, and he has clashed with him before because Ancelotti only arranged one striker in the lineup.
'Silvio Berlusconi congratulated us after the game and he often talks to the team about his philosophy of play, his good game and his style of chasing goals, and I think we did that today.
Then when it comes to Kaka, Ancelotti has more to say: "Before, people were still talking about Kaka in a crisis and in bad form, but now, he has proved that the criticism is wrong. It's not an insult to say we have 'Kaka dependency', it's going to give the team more options and give him more space, so it's a good position for him. โ
Regarding the result of the 1/8 finals, Ancelotti said that he was full of surprises: "There are many upsets in the Champions Cup this season, many strong teams such as Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Arsenal and the defending champion Barcelona are out, this season is full of surprises, Liverpool is the strongest team, Valencia is the same, but Manchester United and Chelsea are more powerful, I don't want to choose an opponent, I just want to say that any team that draws us will worry about themselves." โ
Whether AC Milan's next Champions League opponent will worry about themselves, people don't know, Carlo Ancelotti needs to worry about his position, this is true.
Even if AC Milan do win the Champions League this season, they will be the first defending champions to miss out on the Champions League next season if they don't do well.
The situation like Liverpool's before probably won't happen again, and what AC Milan have to do now is to continue their Champions League journey while still making a breakthrough in the league.
Who will they face in the next round of the league?
Inter!
Fiorentina ended their game before the Milan duo came on, and the winning streak was finally ended as the Purple Lilies were held to a 1-1 draw away from Palermo.
Fiorentina were equally aggressive, opening six minutes when Cavinaghi headed home but was ruled offside.
It wasn't until the 34th minute that Fiorentina took the lead, when Mutu, who had returned from injury, received a pass from Digan in front of the box and forced a break, swaying past two defenders before firing from the edge of the box.
That scoreline lasted until the minute before the end of the game, but it was the minute that changed the outcome of the game when Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, who was making his Serie A debut, fired a right-footed volley into the top corner of the near post from the edge of the box.
In the end, Florence had no choice but to accept this result.
"We didn't play well today, Palermo played very tenacious, they were better than us on all three fronts, that's true, it's frustrating to have the winning streak ended, but it's a football game, less than a second Zuihou, no one knows what will happen, we paid the price for our slackness, the result of the game was fair, Palermo's performance today, deserved this draw!"
Fiorentina's holding out for a draw was not big news, and it was understandable that Digan halted his streak of goals, with the city's 266th derby now being the most focused.
Inter were knocked out by Valencia in the Champions League in midweek, while AC Milan advanced in a thrilling extra-time, playing 30 minutes more and having a day less than Inter.
With Inter's league title a foregone conclusion, the biggest suspense in this game is whether AC Milan can end their opponent's 28-game unbeaten run in the league. In the previous encounters, AC Milan won 104, drew 72 and lost 89, dominating, but feng shui takes turns, historical data does not represent anything, everyone knows that the current Italian football is the world of Inter Milan.
This game was also a milestone for Milan's veteran captain Maldini, as it was his 600th Serie A game and 52nd Milan derby, with Ronaldo facing his old club Inter Milan for the first time.
After playing the match against Palermo, Digan also drove to Milan and appeared in the stands.
In this game, Vieira and Cambiaso were absent due to injury for Inter Milan, Dacourt played in the back, Stankovic and Zanetti were separated on the wings, and Figo played as the front midfielder. Adriano was not in the squad, and Crespo became Ibrahimovic's partner.
There was also a small episode before the start of the game, where Inter fans were given 30,000 plastic whistles, which were supposedly prepared exclusively for Ronaldo.
Soon after the break, Bonella cleared not far from the edge of the penalty area, and Crespo's low right-footed shot was confiscated by Dida. Stankovic then passed the ball and Crespo turned and fired high from the edge of the box. Then, from a Figo corner, Ibrahimovic headed back into the centre of the box, but Pirlo cleared the ball. Stankovic then fired a low right-footed shot wide of the near post from the left.
Judging from the opening period, this cannot be regarded as a strong dialogue at all, the initiative is firmly held by Inter Milan, and AC Milan can only be tired of coping.
Ronaldo, the most watched man of the game, didn't get a chance to perform until the sixteenth minute, Kaka passed straight to the right side of the penalty area, Ronaldo's shot was blocked by Materazzi, and whistles rang out in the stands.
There is as much love as there is hatred, Ronaldo defected to Madrid, which itself has already broken the hearts of fans, and now he has returned to Milan City, but he has joined the sworn enemy of the same city, which has added a handful of salt to this wound.
The game was intense, but the brilliant attack was lackluster, with Inter Milan dominating and AC Milan defending passively most of the time.
But when the first half was near the end, the situation on the field changed abruptly, Stankovic made a mistake in passing, was cut off by Odor first, launched an attack with a long pass, handed it to Kaka's feet, after Kaka got the ball, crossed on the left side, Gattuso immediately transferred to the right side, Ronaldo took the ball and cut inside, Maxwell pressed not tightly, giving Ronaldo enough space to shoot, as a result, he shot low, the football rubbed the turf into the far corner, AC Milan led 1:0!
The whistle from the Inter fans didn't stop Ronaldo from slamming his throat.
After the goal, Ronaldo completely ignored the angry eyes of the Inter Milan fans and Moratti's gloomy face and celebrated on the field.
After the break, Darkett was replaced by Samuel, with Cรณrdoba switching to right-back and Burdisso pushed into the midfield position. Inter Milan, who were behind, also began to launch a frantic counterattack, and in the fiftieth minute, Zanetti passed the ball, and Ibrahimovic burst into the penalty area and fired a powerful diagonal shot that was blocked by Dida. Three minutes later, AC Milan had a chance but Gattuso squandered a golden chance to double the lead when he fired a low right-footed shot past the far post from a tight angle.
After that, Mancini replaced Crespo with Kruse, and after less than a minute of play, Cruise equalized the score!
Ibrahimovic suddenly accelerated on the right sideline to get rid of Maldini, burst to the bottom line and swept vigorously in front of the goal, Dida fell to the ground and got rid of the ball, and Cruise grabbed the ball with his right foot before Gattuso and Odor cleared, 1:1.
Inter Milan, who equalized the score, in the next game, became more and more courageous, and the offensive was fierce wave after wave, when the game reached the seventy-fifth minute, Cruz knocked down Jankulovski with his body and burst into the right side of the penalty area, and in the face of Bonala's interception of the bottom line, Ibrahimovic scored with his right foot in the far corner of the front point, and Inter completed the overtake 2:1!
It was also Ibrahimovic's 24th league goal of the season, and the gap with Deegan has been widened to three.
Since then, despite Carlo Ancelotti's frequent redeployments, they have no choice but to recover, and in the end, AC Milan lost the crucial derby 1-2, and Inter Milan are unbeaten in the league this season.
Ancelotti, who lost the derby, seems to be coming to the end of his position as Milan manager.
The five-and-a-half-year cycle has come to an end, and although Galliani stressed stability in his post-match interview, there is no such thing as a feast, as Costa Kuta said last season: "When a coach coaches a team for a long time, the players lose motivation and freshness. โ
It's not a good story, but it's the truth, and Ancelotti is now facing such a problem.
After the Milan derby, Carlo Ancelotti said that his future was starting to become uncertain: "Of course I want to stay at AC Milan, but it's hard to say what happens on the football pitch. โ
In fact, according to an authoritative media outlet, Carlo Ancelotti has already made the decision to leave AC Milan next season and go to Spain in search of a new challenge, and he has already communicated with Galliani about this.
Carlo Ancelotti took over from Trim in the second half of 2001 and won two trophies in five and a half years, a league title and a Coppa Italia title, as well as one each of the UEFA Super Cup and the Italian Super Cup.
This season, there is still a trophy to fight for, but given the current state of the team, and considering that Ronaldo cannot play in the Champions Cup, how many people will believe that AC Milan will replicate the miracle of Liverpool in 2004?
It's an indisputable fact that Carlo Ancelotti's cycle is going downhill.
Costacuta's words are right, the team needs stability, but AC Milan is too consistent, Ancelotti's routines and changes have been eaten up by all opponents, and what the team needs now is a new change.
Authoritative media said that Galliani was not surprised by Ancelotti's notice, in fact, Galliani has chosen a new head coach for AC Milan, not the legendary Rijkaard, but Lippi, who had been idle for a year and led the Italian national team to win the Shijie championship last summer.
Lippi is known for his changeable tactics, and in the Italian national team, Lippi's main role is Ancelotti's three midfielders and one forward formation, and occasionally uses a single striker, which is also something that AC Milan players can adapt to.
In addition, Lippi and Capello are the only two Italian coaches who can lead the team to the championship that year, and of course, there are now Spalletti, Mancini and Prandelli among the new generation.
As for Ancelotti's whereabouts, media analysis is very likely to be La Liga, because Ancelotti has been learning Spanish for a while, in addition to Real Madrid and Barcelona, Valencia is also one of the candidates, because the current Valencia head coach Flores and sports manager Carboni have conflicts, and Carboni has threatened to fire Flores's squid.
AC Milan lost 1:2 to Inter Milan, but the only goal of the "away team" was scored by Ronaldo, which made Moratti in the stands celebrating the victory inevitably have a complicated feeling in his heart, although the goals of Cruz and Ibrahimovic diluted the significance of Ronaldo's goal, but on this night in Meazza, Ronaldo is still a focus.
Before the game, Inter Milan's fan organization prepared 30,000 plastic whistles for the spectators with package tickets, the purpose of this whistle is that when Ronaldo touches the ball, 30,000 fans with whistles will whistle together, not counting the people who directly use their mouths to boo and whistle, the whole stadium is booed, you can imagine Ronaldo's situation, but in such an atmosphere, Ronaldo can still play normally.
Compared with other AC Milan players, Ronaldo, who did not participate in the European Champions Cup in midweek, showed a more physical condition, and in the thirteenth minute, he forced a free kick under the three-man package at the front of the penalty area, and then the powerful shot after stepping on the bicycle was blocked by Materazzi, and then the foul on Cordoba caused a loud whistle throughout the field, of course, the louder the whistle, the more active Ronaldo's performance can only be.
Although Carlo Ancelotti said that "Ronaldo is not suitable for a single striker", in the post-match ratings, he was the only AC Milan player to be rated as excellent, giving it a score of 7, which is even more difficult considering that this is a performance under the whistle of 30,000 people.
Ancelotti seemed to be right before the game, saying: "I know Inter fans will express their feelings, but it doesn't affect Ronaldo, he's too experienced. โ
Not only will it not affect, but it is an incentive, and finally Ronaldo responded to the whistle, in the first half of the forty minutes, Ronaldo received a pass from Gattuso, got rid of the opponent's entanglement laterally in front of the penalty area, dodged a vacancy, and shot with his left foot, maybe Cesar was not prepared for the ball, or maybe Ronaldo chose an angle that was too tricky, and the ball flew straight into the bottom left corner of the goal. At this moment, the whistle disappeared in an instant.
'I had a beautiful goal and I wanted to try a long-range shot and it was okay, it was a good game. Ronaldo said after the game about the goal.
Cesar was annoyed and said: "I'm friends with Ronaldo, but I'm sorry to let Ronaldo score. He moved well and I didn't see him shoot so I didn't make a save, so I was a little annoyed by that. โ
Carlo Ancelotti pointed out Ronaldo's two "decisive performances" after the game, in addition to this goal, there was also the goal for Gattuso in the second half, when Kaka cut in from the left sideline and crossed Ronaldo in front of the penalty area, Ronaldo did not stop the ball, but took the opportunity to move the ball forward, and the push of Gattuso on the back was slightly wide of the far post.
'I can't say Ronaldo is 50 per cent, 60 per cent or 70 per cent recovered, but I know Ronaldo is awake. Ancelotti's assessment seemed so apt at this time.
Under the deterrence of 30,000 whistles, Ronaldo broke through Inter Milan's goal for the first time after returning to Serie A, and the focus of Moratti and Ronaldo hyped by the media before the game was concerned, the result was also a happy one, Ronaldo scored, but Moratti won and became the ultimate winner.
Of course, the current Ronaldo is still not the Ronaldo of his peak, and Ancelotti said of his question: "He is very decisive and it would be better if he strengthened in terms of continuity. Although he is not often spotted when he is on the field, when he does, there is bound to be an amazing performance, and if he can be seen from time to time, then this game will be completely different. โ
Of course, Ronaldo can still improve, his motivation is still there, the hard training has not stopped, four starts, two substitutes, four goals, two assists, after returning to Serie A, Ronaldo handed in satisfactory answers.
In this race, AC's No. 99 became the center of the storm as soon as he stepped onto the field. Every time he touches the ball, he will be exchanged for overwhelming boos, and the alien's heart will naturally be uncomfortable. What embarrassed him even more was the long banners put up by the Inter fan organization in the stands: "Bastard, go to Milan", "Shit get out of the manure tank where you should go", and the other banner was more simple and elegant: "Ronaldo is like Vieri", which can't help but remind people of Bobo's insulting nickname "football prostitute" that was frequently transferred back then, these two were the pride of Inter people back then, but they both went to the city rival AC after their heyday, and it is no wonder that international fans are so gritted their teeth to compare them.
Maybe it was the mood that took a toll and Ronnie's performance was mediocre in the first 40 minutes. Falling in front of the penalty area attracted overwhelming abuse, and a personal dribbling shot error ushered in another reversal, Ronnie finally couldn't bear it anymore.
After a referee ruled offside, he kicked the ball into the back of the net in a vent, and the Meazza fans applauded half angrily and half mockingly.
Ronaldo is still Ronaldo after all, even if his body is still a little bloated, even if he has just been swept away by Real Madrid, as long as he is given a little time, he is still the alien who could not be ignored back then.
In the 40th minute, Ronaldo finally had a chance to vent the stuffiness in his chest, he used his individual ability to shake off the opposing defender, shoot, the ball went straight into the net, Meazza exploded in an instant, and the traitor's sword choke made the Inter people feel more humiliating than any other way.
After a moment of silence, the fans stood up and cursed, booing at maximum volume, but none of this could erase the smile that finally appeared on Ronaldo's face.
Ronaldo was no longer bothered by the boos, he made a gesture of putting his hands to his ears, as if to say let the boos come more violently, the boos gradually became quieter, replaced by the singing and cheering of the AC people, teammates ran up to celebrate, Gattuso even more exaggerated kneeling on his knees and hugging Ronnie, as if looking at a king, this game, Meaza finally showed a moment of weakness because of Ronaldo's kingship.
Although AC was eventually reversed by Inter, Ronaldo still deservedly became the biggest focus of the media. Speaking into the microphone of reporters after the game, Ronnie confided: "I was very disappointed with the fact that the fans were insulting not only me but my family as well, but fortunately my former team-mates were not like that, contrary to those fans, they were friendly to me throughout. Inter played a really good game today and they deserved the win. โ
As if to confirm his words, when asked by reporters whether Ronaldo's goal was all about luck, Materazzi, who has always given people a difficult impression, spoke for Ronaldo: "He has always worked the field, running hard, trying to find opportunities, and this goal is the reward he deserves." โ
The fact that each has its own thing has not erased a little friendship between players, the so-called "traitor" infamy is actually more from the indignation of fans, not to mention, the mobility of players in this era has greatly improved, such as Figo has experienced the embarrassment of playing for two sworn enemies, who would really care about the so-called loyalty?
What is certain is that from Barcelona to Real Madrid, from International to AC, Ronaldo, who has experienced two "betrayals", will no longer have any psychological baggage. If there are still people who speak out and score, it is Ronaldo who is the most heroic counterattack against these people.
In addition to Ronaldo, Maldini was also the focus of the game, his 600th Serie A game, but Maldini was unable to celebrate the milestone number with a win.
"We still have a bitter taste in our mouths right now, and I'm happy with my 600, but the 1:2 ending is regrettable."
Maldini played a very good game and set an example for the whole team, moving laterally to defuse Ibrahimovic's breakthrough, breaking the ball from Ibrahimovic's feet when he lost his balance, and clearing the ball with a header in front of Crespo before Crespo, including after Ibrahimovic's successful anti-offside position in the second half, Maldini tried his best to chase back and block, forcing Ibrahimovic to lose the angle of his shot while dribbling the ball, Maldini did everything he could, but there were some things he couldn't control, such as the body.
'In the first half he managed to block Inter's attack, but in the second half he was in the same form as the whole team.
The media gave this assessment, mainly due to the decline in physical condition, AC Milan's team doctor has warned Ancelotti that Maldini cannot play another week double this season, but the Champions Cup is also important, and the Milan derby is equally important, Ancelotti chose to take the risk of letting Maldini play 120 minutes on Wednesday before playing the full game.
As a result, in the second half in the face of Ibrahimovic's sudden acceleration of the breakthrough, Maldini was really powerless, and the cross before the end of the game, Maldini also had no way to control his footwork.
At 39 years old and 600 games, Maldini has performed a miracle, but miracles do not mean victory, a 39-year-old player who has earned the respect of everyone on the court, but cannot expect him to be as good as he was when he was 29 years old.
Baresi witnessed AC Milan's 6-1 defeat to Juventus before retiring, which was the end of a dynasty and an era.
After the game, when Digan left the field, he was also discovered by reporters, but he didn't want to make any comments on this game, in fact, there is nothing to say about this game, although Ronaldo can still score, but he is no longer the original majestic, unstoppable alien, although Maldini can still play wonderful clips from time to time, but most of the time, it shows people his powerlessness, although Kaka works hard, but the Champions League consumes too much of his energy and physical strength.
So Inter Milan became the winner of Zuihou, and AC Milan could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.
Serie A has now come to an end, Inter Milan winning the championship is a foregone conclusion, although behind them Roma, Lazio still has the hope of winning the championship in theory, but the theory can only be a theory, if it wants to become a reality, it is unlikely.
The most fierce competition now is the Champions League place, in addition to Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio, AC Milan, Fiorentina, Empoli form a huge competitive group.
Fiorentina's opponents in the next round are none other than Roma, direct rivals for a place in the Champions League.
Roma travel to Fiorentina, Aquilani and Zivo are still recovering from injury, while Fiorentina are out with Donadaire.
After the start of the game, both sides played very actively, this is a contest related to next season's Champions League qualification, neither side wants to lose, both want to take the initiative in direct dialogue with the opponent, but the process of the game, in the end presented is unremarkable.
Deegan seemed to be at a low ebb after a period of madness, and after his previous game, he was once again scoreless, with the two sides playing for 90 minutes before Fiorentina failed to score at home for the first time since Prandelli took over.
Ddigan's current main rival, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, scored in his third straight game, and the gap between the two sides was widened to four goals.
Two games in a row without a result, if it were anyone else, it would be considered very normal, but it is different on Degan's body.
As long as you are a fan on Shijie, everyone knows that Digan is a super goalscorer, and people have long been used to it, he can always create a large number of goals, and constantly refresh the record of any legendary scorer in history.
All of a sudden, Degan's quick gun was dumb, and people were certainly not used to it.
Is Deegan no longer good?
The journalists were excited, they had been waiting for revenge for too long.
But as soon as the idea was brewing in the minds of those reporters, Deegan used a goal to tell them what it means to be cruel to reality.
Fiorentina challenged Digan's old club Atalanta away, and Degan, who wore the captain's armband, made a big show and scored four players, after Ibrahimovic was still clamoring to end the competition for the Serie A Golden Boot with Degan early, but after one game, the gap between the two was leveled.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Montolivo made a long pass to the right side of the backfield, and after Digan stopped the ball on his chest, he quickly burst into the penalty area and volleyed into the net at a small angle with his right foot, and Fiorentina led 1:0!
In the 32nd minute, Abate crossed from the right, returned from injury, and Paccini, who returned to the starting lineup, was pushed down by Loria in front of the lineup, penalty!
Montolivo took the penalty, although he deceived the goalkeeper, but was denied by the post, but Deegan followed up in time to make it 2-0.
In the 39th minute, Albertini took a corner kick from the left side, and Digan headed it into the far corner from eight meters in front of the goal, 3:0.
After the start of the second half, Fiorentina continued to strengthen the offensive, in the 65th minute, after Digan broke the ball in the midfield, he drove all the way into the Atalanta penalty area, and shot with a pick, although goalkeeper Taibi made a save, but helplessly, the angle of Digan's shot was too tricky, and he could only look at the ball and sigh.
4๏ผ0๏ผ
There was also a warm scene in this game, Deegan scored four goals alone, completely blowing up the entire Atalanta backline, but to the impact of the Atlanta fans, after each goal, Deegan refused to make any celebrations, and the fans also reciprocated, although the team lost the game, they still gave a round of applause to Degan, the former Bergamo superhero.
In an interview after the game, Digan also said: "Atalanta is a very important team for me, I started my career here, the fans here supported me at the beginning, and I have not forgotten it until now, I came back here, I came with a grateful heart, and today the fans of Atalanta gave me a high courtesy, which made me very happy, for the original departure from Atalanta, I can only say that it is not my real thoughts, but there are people or things here that make me very disappointed!" โ
After the game against Atalanta, Fiorentina will face league vice-captain Ascoli, who won 2-0 in the game that ended before that, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic scoring twice to go ahead again.
In an interview before the match, Deegan also expressed his opinion: "This fight didn't exist from the beginning, and the reason why I say this is because I never saw the Swede as my opponent, he is really good, very strong, but if you compare it with me, he is not qualified!" โ
Depend on!
Berserk!
This is Degan!
As soon as the reporters heard this, they had a collective orgasm in an instant, they had been waiting for Digan's choking for too long, and looking at Digan's arrogant demeanor at this time, it was simply refreshing, as if they had drunk cold soda on dog days.
Degan also used his actual performance to prove to people that he is not the big mouth of Ibrahimovic, who can only say and not do!
Just four minutes into the game, Ascoli made a mistake at the back and Deegan scrambled to cut the ball off before moving forward and firing a powerful right-footed volley into the post for his 26th goal of the season.
That's not a lot of goals compared to the past, but you know, Deganco has been out for fifteen games before.
In the 33rd minute, the vice-squad leader almost equalized the score, Di Biagio took a free kick, and Melara's header hit the bottom edge of the crossbar, but goalkeeper Frei reacted quickly enough to fish out the ball in time.
In first-half stoppage time, Deegan scored his 28th goal of the season with a beautiful right-footed shot from 30 yards out.
In the second half, Digan still didn't want to put away his knife quickly, when the game went on in the 56th minute, Fiorentina played a quick counterattack, Digan won the ball on the penalty line, calmly turned, a kick, the ball hung in the corner of the goal, and scored another point.
In the 70th minute, Abate crossed from the right, Kavinagi at the front point did not reach it, but Digan, who was outflanked at the back point, easily headed into the net, 4:0.
It's another big four!
Now that Deegan is Shijie's No. 1 striker, no one will disagree anymore.
You know, in the defensive-minded Serie A, it's hard to score more than 30 goals in a season, but Deegan not only did it, but did it so easily.
