Chapter 51: Champions and Champions?
After the game, Moratti looked very disappointed when he was interviewed by reporters, but his pitiful appearance made Deegan feel as if he had really done something immoral.
In addition, the competition with Ibrahimovic for the top scorer has basically come to an end now, with a difference of five goals, and in the next few rounds, except for the league Zuihou to face a strong opponent like AC Milan, the rest is basically Lazio can also create some trouble for the current Fiorentina team.
Although the Swedes still refuse to admit defeat, everyone knows that Ibrahimovic wants to catch up again, and there is no such possibility.
In the Champions League in midweek, Haodeac Milan did not be watched before the game, and it was true that AC Milan lost away from home, 2:3, AC Milan lost at the feet of Manchester United, but Kaka's two away goals left AC Milan fans with hope.
That game was basically Kaka's madness, especially the second goal, Kaka completely relied on one person's liliang to challenge Manchester United's entire backline, and Argentine star Heinze played a completely background board in the process of scoring a goal.
After the game, some media even exclaimed: The new emperor of Europe has ascended the throne!
But Kaka said in an interview: "If Rhodes is here, we can be the winners!" ”
As if to prove what Kaka said, Fiorentina took on Lazio away in the 33rd round of the league at the weekend, with Degan scoring another hat-trick.
The two teams were evenly divided in the first half, but in the second half, the situation on the field changed abruptly, in the 53rd minute, a free kick by Deegan outside the penalty area helped the team break the deadlock, and then in the 68th minute, Fiorentina launched a counterattack, Pascual crossed from the left, Degan nodded the ball in front, although Peruzzi made a save, but he was unable to return to the sky, the goal was pierced by Deegan for the second time, in the 73rd minute, the old goalkeeper Peruzzi made a major mistake when he attacked, Pazzini's peripheral shot was blocked, Jorgensen got the ball on to Digan, who headed home before Bellery could block it.
Ibrahimovic also scored in this round of games, and his goal helped Inter Milan to get ?? Won his first league title since the 1988/1989 season, only to watch Deegan slip away from the top scorers.
37:30!
Ibrahimovic's long-awaited victory is gone, but after 18 years of obsessive waiting, Inter Milan have finally won their first Serie A trophy since 1988/89.
Recalling 18 years ago, gold medal coach Trapattoni led Bergomi, Mateus, Bremer and other blue and black heroes to create 26 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, becoming an insurmountable peak in Serie A in the two-point era. Even on a three-point scale, this record was not surpassed by Juventus until the 2004/05 season, when Juventus played four more games than Inter at the time.
In the 2006/07 season, Inter Milan equaled the converted points of the championship 18 years ago in just 33 rounds, and had a chance to break 100 points.
After winning the championship, who is the stronger in terms of the comparison between the two generations of the Nerazzurri?
Trapattoni was asked about this at the beginning of the year: "If you ask me which team is stronger, I would go 51% with Mancini and 49% with myself. ”
The 1% difference contains more politeness, and when you look at the details of the two generations of champion teams, one can find a lot of interesting similarities and differences.
Inter Milan squad for 1988/89: Zenga/Bergomi, Ferry, Mateoli, Bremer/Mandolini, Bianchi, Berti, Mateus/Dias, Serena.
Main subs: Da Baresi, Verdeli, Fana, Morello.
Inter Milan squad for 2006/07: Cesar/McConn, Samuel, Córdoba, Grosso/Zanetti, Vieira, Stankovic, Figo/Crespo, Ibrahimovic.
Main subs: Dacourt, Adriano, Samuel, Burdisso, Maxwell, Cambiasso, Cruise, Solari.
The depth of the squad is compared, and the two generations of champions are referred to as "Old International" and "New International". The main lineup of the new international this season is actually very vague, individual positions have changed a lot due to injuries, Samuel, Materazzi, Grosso, Vieira and Darkett and others are difficult to determine who is the main team, Mancini's starting midfielder Cambiasso has been off for almost half a season, and only Cesar, McConn, Zanetti and Stankovic have played steadily in the whole team. The main lineup of the old international is very stable, with more than a dozen players making more than 30 appearances in a total of 34 league rounds, basically relying on a set of people to fight from the beginning to the end.
But in terms of substitutions, the rotation system produced by modern football was unimaginable for Trapattoni at that time, and the old international used a total of so many substitutes in a season, and under Mancini, the number of league appearances almost covered the whole team, and the depth of the bench was far greater than that of the Trapattoni period, and the old international also had to participate in the league, the Italian Cup and the League Cup at that time, and the burden was not much lighter than now, and Mancini had a great advantage in terms of squad resources.
Contrasting squad structures, maintaining a strong and stable foundation, and adding fresh blood can create a championship team, and two generations of Inter Milan have met this law.
Relying on a group of veterans represented by Bergomi, after the end of the 1988 European Cup, the old international introduced Mateus and Bremer, recruited the Argentine star Dias, and the three new foreign aides made great contributions to the team. Roberto Mancini has also honed the squad in the first two seasons, bringing in the likes of Patrick Vieira, Ibrahimovic and McConn this season to take the squad to the next level.
Inter Milan is now a true "Inter" Milan, with only four Italians who have shown their faces in the league this season. Trapattoni's championship team has only three foreign players, Bremer, Mateus and Dias, and the contrast between the two is huge.
With the age mix of the old international perfect, with Zenga, Bremmer, Mandolini, Mateus, Dias and Serena all in their prime, Bergomi and Ferry playing, Bianchi and Berti in midfield, and experienced Baresi and Fana on the bench, it is not surprising that such a young and tried and tested squad has been consistent throughout the season.
In contrast, Inter Milan in 2006/07 were ageing. Cesar, Zanetti, Grosso, Córdoba, Materazzi, Dacourt, Vieira, Figo, Crespo, Cruz, Solari and Recoba are all over 30 years old, Stankovic is 28 years old, Ibrahimovic, Maxwell, McConn, Ade and Cambiasso are on the rise, and only Andreoli and Maroufi are under 24 years old, but these two are basically soy sauce. Although the aging of the squad has reduced volatility, it is easy to lead to an increase in injuries, and if Mancini does not add new players as soon as possible, the establishment of a second "big international era" can only be empty talk.
Three-line strength competition, back line, 18 years ago, Mancini as a player witnessed the old international to the top, that season Inter Milan scored the most goals and conceded the fewest goals, is a well-deserved king.
Inter Milan have been the best in attack this season, but have conceded the same number of goals
Roma, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina are not much different, and it is easy to understand when you look at Inter's defensive line: Materazzi and others are more attacking than defensive, Zanetti, who has the best defense, has been pushed into the midfield, and compared to previous seasons, Inter's defense has indeed improved, but it is not as high as 18 years ago. In the old international team, Zeng Jia, Bergomi, and Ferry are the main Italian internationals, plus Germany's top left-back Bremer and local stalwart Mattoli, representing the highest defensive level in Shijie football at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Trapattoni won the championship by defense.
In midfield, Bianchi and Berti are just starting out, Mandolini is unpretentious, and the old international midfield looks like only Mateus, who himself is an efficient pragmatist, and Trapattoni's midfield is very much in line with the Italian tradition: a focus on interception, simplicity and efficiency.
Mancini has completely transformed the team from Cooper's ugly style of play to a dazzling jishu stream, Cambiaso, Stankovic and Figo are all masters of passing and control, Vieira, Dacourt and other backs are also delicate, and the new international plays more beautifully, which is more in line with the development trend of modern football.
In the forward position, compared with the "five strikers" in Mancini's hands, Trapattoni can only rely on Serena and Dias, plus the support of Mateus, and does not rotate one for two.
Regarding the difference between the two generations of Inter Milan's attack, Trapattoni once commented: "The current team lacks a character similar to Matthaus, and I don't have Ibrahimovic. ”
In a sense, the difference between Mateus and Ibrahimovic may represent the difference between the old and new Inter Milan teams.
What the two generations of Inter Milan have in common is that the three lines are mature, there are no obvious flaws, the manager has the right strategy and tactics, and he surpasses the other teams in terms of competitive level. Summing up the successful experience is the premise of a success for Xiangxia, and there are still many shortcomings in this Inter Milan team, and Moratti and Mancini need to think about how to replicate the success and avoid waiting another 18 years.
One championship in 18 years, Inter Milan fans have waited too long, they hope to repeat the glory of the Inter era, but this glory is not easy to get.
Now this Inter Milan team is not perfect, there are many flaws, first of all, Mancini, the head coach, there is no problem with his tactical thinking, the problem is the psychological quality, which no one can help him.
The second is that unlike the city rival AC Milan, Inter Milan lacks a real leader, AC Milan has Maldini, it can be said that he is a hero who can command the world, but Inter Milan has always lacked a flag in the dressing room since Bergomi that can intimidate everyone.
The team has always been strong and needs to have leaders, but also superstars, and the championship lineup is inseparable from the stars, just like the five-star succession of the "Galaxy Real Madrid" back then, Inter Milan has also found the core and soul of its own lineup.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of Inter's squad, just like Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, the Swede who joined Inter Milan for €26 million in the summer, is now valued at more than €40 million, and more importantly, at just 26 years old, his excellent form will not only continue for many years, but there is room for further improvement.
Although he basically lost in the goal contest with Degan, 30 goals in a season is a big breakthrough for a scorer who was not prolific before.
Adriano's season cannot be said to be smooth sailing, but his strength and value have never been underestimated, and the difficulties are only temporary, just like Ibrahimovic last season, who was seen by experts as a genius sooner or later, Cruz is 34 years old, Crespo is 32 years old, and the 25-year-old Adriano is not far off when he will sit on the main front line of Inter Milan, and Adriano also publicly said: "My future at Inter Milan, I will not go anywhere." ”
"I scored more than 200 goals and participated in three Shijie Cups, the Olympics, and the America's Cup." Looking back on his career, Crespo is so satisfied, yes, this is a resume that belongs to the Shijie level goalscorer, although he is 32 years old, his physical strength is not as good as before, but Crespo has never relied on brute force to play, this season, he and Adriano rotated, but still contributed 10 heavy goals for Inter Milan, and now Chelsea saw Crespo's performance and was anxious to get him back, but Crespo was bent on staying in Milan, "I have adapted to life in Italy." ”
"Veron goes, Vieira comes, our midfield jishu content will drop slightly, but the ability to score goals and Liliang will improve."
Mancini's prediction at the beginning of the season has been confirmed very much, the 31-year-old Vieira is no longer young, injuries are more frequent than in the past, but he is still a shijie-level midfielder, his arrival has made Inter Milan in the midfield defense has been greatly improved, Vieira's strength has been confirmed in Arsenal, Juventus, Inter Milan three different giants, 10 million euros is not his true value, if it is not for relegation, Juventus will not sell him for less than 20 million euros.
In the 12 years at Inter Milan, Zanetti has not had the opportunity to confirm his value in the transfer market, but the title of "Shijie No. 1 right-back" is given to him, and there will not be too many people against him. This season, Zanetti has shown his versatility, spending more time in a defensive midfield, it should be said that his transformation and the signing of Vieira have hardened Inter's midfield, which is the key to Mancini's tactical change, Zanetti is about to be 34 years old, but as the leader of Inter Milan, no one doubts his gold content.
Apart from the stars, Inter Milan is different from other teams in their bench line-up, with around twenty players all at the same level. This is the biggest difference between Inter Milan and the rest of Serie A, and it is precisely the most important thing that injuries and ups and downs in form are inevitable during a long season.
In the forward line, it is difficult to say who is the substitute for Adriano and Crespo, in midfield, Duckett played a perfect half season, in the backline, Materazzi and Grosso, the two main players in people's minds, were squeezed to the bench by the two substitutes of Samuel and Maxwell respectively, but they can still "revert" at any time, this is the competition mechanism, and in addition, who can imagine a goalkeeper like Toldo sitting on the bench for a season? It is a pity that Inter Milan were eliminated by Valencia in the European competition with two draws, otherwise the multi-front battle will be played to Zuihou, and Inter Milan's substitute lineup will let people see his great power.
Although in the last round of the league, Inter Milan's preparation for the celebration ceremony was disturbed by the group of undesirable people in Fiorentina and the top bastard Digan, but the fans of Inter Milan did not wait too long, and the huge advantage still allowed him to finally sit on the throne of the league championship.
At this moment, Moratti's calm contrasted with the joy of the players. Moratti is thinking about his 12 years, and the players are thinking about this season.
Originally, according to the usual practice, the chairman usually does not go to the league to watch the game, and it is very clear what this game is for. Wearing a white shirt and a gray suit, he got up to answer the phone after the game with a calm expression. The players couldn't hold back for a long time, and after learning that Roma had lost, they flocked to the pitch, and Mancini put on his suit while hugging and cheering with the players.
Finally, the not-so-perfect Inter struggled to write a season that should have been written a week in advance. They gave up on Meazza and went to the small Tuscan town to celebrate, the stadium was too small for only a few thousand Inter fans to attend. They flew back to Milan after the game and drove back to Meazza to celebrate, which was a lot of excitement, or maybe that's what they were happy about.
Saying that Inter is incomplete comes from Inter's ability to play sad movements that are hot and cold at the beginning, and dedicate music that sounds incomplete. In the Materazzi proverb, as long as Inter is present, the outcome is unpredictable. The most recent example of this incompleteness was on 5 May 2002, when Materazzi and Zanetti remembered it vividly.
Don't think it's Moratti's patent, it's inherited from his father, back in the days of Herrera. On June 1, 1967, the big Milan topped the table with 48 points, one point ahead of Juventus. Zuihou played a meeting between the two teams, Inter completely dominated the game, and as a result, Juventus' Giacomo gambled on luck with a small angle shot, Inter goalkeeper Sardi stood in a good position, shot the ball, the ball leaked strangely from his hands, and Juventus won the championship. That season marked the complete decline of the big ones.
It is true that Mancini's transformation of Inter and Inter's improvement this season are the fundamental elements of winning the championship, but in such a discolored league, it is not consistent, and it cannot be said that this Inter is great, not including the Champions Cup.
Inter Milan won the championship, and the city rival AC Milan also won, continuing to maintain the two-point advantage with Fiorentina, 3-1 victory at home to Cagliari, Cafu contributed two wonderful assists at the same time, but also completed his most beautiful game of the season, from the Shijie Cup inadequate, to the beginning of the season was acceptable, to the middle of the season like sleepwalking, to injury, playing to the current stage, Cafu finally found the form of two years ago.
Five crosses, three tackles, three dangerous passes, two assists, it doesn't look like a 37-year-old's stats, but that's how Cafu did today.
In the game, Ronaldo's goal, at least half of the credit should be credited to Cafu, Seedorf Xiangyou Road Divided, Cafu and the opposing defender Pisano had the same opportunity, Cafu used a sliding tackle, first shoveled the ball, and at the same time Pisano stumbled on his leg and fell to the side, and Cafu got up quickly at the same time, without slowing down at all, when the Cagliari defender was still stunned, completed the cross, Ronaldo all needed to do was a light touch in front of the goal.
Cafu's performance wasn't over yet, and in the second half, the Brazilian accelerated down the right and crossed the ball in an arc that quickly fell, which deceived Zimenti, and the Cagliari goalkeeper flew out but didn't hit the ball, which landed just in front of the chest of Ronaldo, who was caught between two Cagliari defenders, and Rooney slammed the ball into the net with his chest.
Defensively, Cafu did a good job as well, although on one occasion a handball in the box was lucky enough to escape the referee's eyes, but the Brazilian was meticulous in his return after that.
Cagliari had an equaliser at the start of the second half when Suazzo broke through Simic's cross from the touchline and Cafu scrambled to break the ball off the line before Capone.
Towards the end of the game, Cafu made a beautiful play when Suazzo received the ball at the back post and tried to shoot, turned and broke the ball at his feet, and then launched a counterattack.
Carlo Ancelotti also commented after the game: "Cafu played a good game. ”
In fact, compared to his peak, Cafu adjusted his style of play according to his physical fitness, reduced the number of insertions, and ensured that the defense was important.
After Otto joined, Cafu's performance is getting better and better, the competition mechanism is not the main thing, the most important thing is that with Odo, Cafu can take a breath from the rhythm of the double game of the week that makes him tired, in fact, the 33-year-old Cafu and the 37-year-old Cafu are mainly different from the physical strength of continuous combat.
Now Cafu maintains a one-a-week rhythm and plays more energy-saving, even if he doesn't catch up with the team's winter physical reinforcement training, Cafu can still play at a high level.
But today's two assists were one of the few good memories Cafu could leave at the San Siro, and the Brazilian is set to leave after the summer. Although he was able to play a good season as a substitute, his departure had nothing to do with his ability to adapt to the rhythm of European football, Cafu's father was not in good health, so Cafu traveled between Milan and Sao Paulo for a time and returned to Brazil, Cafu also wanted to be able to take care of his father with filial piety. But in any case, the loss of such a competent and experienced substitute would be a shame for AC Milan.
With Ronaldo's goal and a 3-1 finish, AC Milan will be hoping to recapture Bayern's feat at the Allianz Arena in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Manchester United at the San Siro. In the league before the away game against Bayern, Milan beat Empoli 3-1, and the aliens opened the deadlock, and this time, it felt similar.
Similar in terms of the use of troops, Ancelotti rotated a lot, against Cagliari, Kaka and Oddo sat in the stands casually, Maldini, Nesta, Inzaghi were not in the squad, Gira, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Janku are all substitutes, the starting eleven in this game, only Seedorf and Gattuso must start in the Champions Cup, goalkeeper Carraci also depends on the recovery of Dida.
AC Milan's Champions League journey is probably what Deegan is most concerned about now in addition to the league, he hopes that AC Milan can win the championship like he did in his previous life, and Kaka can become king with this Champions League trophy.
The veteran Cafu also said of the game in an interview before the game: "The 1-7 encounter in Roma reminds us to be very careful against Manchester United because it is a tough game for sure and we have to do our best, Manchester United is a team that is good at playing at home, especially in such an important game, no matter what, there will always be risks. We have to be as big as we were in Munich and we have to show that we can bring home a win and the team has been in great form lately, despite the difficulties we had at the start of the season, the 11 men on the pitch will give it their all. ”
With the return of Dida, there is no big doubt about AC Milan's starting lineup, goalkeeper Dida, Otto on the back line, Nesta, Maldini, and Jankulovski have all been fully rested, and there are Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini in the midfield, and Seedorf and Kaka, who have been in good form recently, will form a double forward midfielder, and Gilardino will form a "Christmas tree" in front of him.
Digan was at home in Fiorentina, watching the game through live broadcast, the final result was the same as he remembered, after two years, Ancelotti once again killed Manchester United with the "Christmas tree", in the "Christmas tree" and the choice of two strikers, Ambrosini became a key figure, because Seedorf, Gattuso, Pirlo is the same combination, if you choose two strikers, Ambrosini will be off, if Ambrosini is on the field, Ancelotti will be the next striker, Ambrosini chose Ambrosini, and put him on the captain's armband, while AC Milan's third captain repaid Ancelotti's trust with a brilliant assist.
Ambrosini was a little silent compared to Gattuso's flamboyance, because of this, the British news agency commented on him in general: "The defense was average, and the only bright spot in the whole game was the assist for Gilardino's goal." ”
But in reality, the post-match Jishu stats showed that Ambrosini intercepted passes up to five times, the highest in the game.
It would be somewhat biased to simply call Ambrosini a "sapper", Ambrosini not only completed his defensive work, but also contributed Rui Costa-style wonderful passes on the field.
Seventy-nine minutes into the game, Seedorf stopped the ball in front of the opposition defender and the ball rolled to Ambrosini's feet, and he almost first spotted the gap in the United defence and Gilardino's running line.
A long-range and precise through ball broke down the United defence, and Gilardino calmly pushed the ball into the face of the onrushing Van der Sar, a combination reminiscent of Rui Costa and Sheva in the 2002 AC Milan match against Real Madrid, Rui Costa assisted Sheva with his proud 60-meter through ball to beat Real Madrid 1-0 at the San Siro, and this time, a similar pass appeared on Ambrosini, who is known for his defence, showing the midfielder's versatility.
In fact, Ambrosini's passing vision was never bad, and it was his clever pass that helped Tomasson create a penalty in the 03/04 season, and it was his clever pass that helped Tomasson win the crucial game against Empoli. Ambrosini is always good in key games, and two years ago he knocked PSV Eindhoven out with a header in the semi-finals, and this time he didn't score, but he provided a wonderful assist with his feet.
Ambrosini was the key man in this victory, but it was Kaka who held the key to victory.
3:0!
AC Milan have crossed the mountain of Manchester United and finally have a chance to go to Athens to upend Liverpool's Istanbul nightmare.
Some say heavy rain is better for United and the British are better at water fights, but Kaka was confident before the game that they know how to beat Manchester United.
And Liverpool's promotion to the final seems to be a booster, and all Milanese are looking forward to a revenge battle in Athens.
As Kaka said, the Milanese know the trick to beat Manchester United.
As soon as the game began, AC Milan frequently created danger in front of Manchester United's goal.
In the 11th minute, Kaka opened the scoring for AC Milan with a clever header from Seedorf. In fact, from this goal, the dream of Manchester United and Liverpool meeting in the final has begun to be disillusioned.
In the nineteenth minute, it was Kaka's brilliant goal again, and for Manchester United, it was more like the cold with the rain beating on their bodies. As the game wore on, the rain subsided, but in the 78th minute of the second half, Gilardino's goal pushed United into the abyss.
Kaka's secret came from the first leg between the two sides, and in an interview before the game, he said that AC Milan would play like they did in the first half in Manchester, showing their personality and style, while the team's mental outlook before the game was as confident as when they visited Munich.
'At home, we'll have more of an advantage. I'm sure we're going to play a good game. Manchester United are a strong team, they are very fast on the counter-attack, their strikers are agile and the whole team is young. But we know how to beat them. Last week in Manchester, we unfortunately didn't play well enough in the second half, but that disappointment will make up for it in this game. ”
A week earlier, Kaka had proven at Old Trafford that Manchester's back four could not help him, and in this game, Ferguson was injured again, twice beating Van der Sar's ten fingers to increase Kaka's Champions League goals this season to 11, and he also led the scoring charts, and these wonderful goals have also made AC Milan's progress on the European stage: from stoppage time against Celtic at the San Siro to the backdrop game at Munich, Kaka has been the protagonist.
A week ago, it was the Brazilian who brought home two valuable away goals from the British Peninsula. Today, Kaka's total number of goals in the Champions League has increased to 21.
Kaka has improved every year, and last season, because of the presence of Degan, Kaka's brilliance was somewhat overshadowed, but he also scored a total of 19 goals, and now his tally is 18 goals, in addition to 11 Champions League goals, the other seven are from Serie A, and he is also the player who has scored the most goals for Milan this season.
Four years after joining Milan, Kaka has become one of the pillars of Milan today. For Kaka, the dream of the Champions League is even more urgent. Because for every Milanese, the early summer of Athens in 1994 was unforgettable, when they defeated the then unbeatable Barcelona with a score of 4-0, and the glittering Champions Cup trophy reflected a pinnacle of the Milan dynasty. On the other side of the ocean, Kaka was only 12 years old that summer, a young child who had just started on the football field, and was looking forward to his future in distant São Paulo.
Last week's trip to Old Trafford will all Milanese remember Milan's killing of Juventus here four years ago, and that early summer, when Manchester was sleepless because of AC Milan, Kaka was still struggling with which country to go in Europe, and four years later, Kaka has become the absolute heart of Milan.
After the bitterness of Istanbul, he longed to be written in the history of Milan's Champions League, and as the final approached, Kaka's inner desire for the final kept him in excellent form and his personality: "I will work harder, the team is in good shape at the moment, and in this current Milan team, I can easily find a comfortable angle and position, so that I can help the team to do its best." Golden Globes? First of all, I want to do my best to win the game with Milan, and then I will think about the individual awards, my mind is on Milan's win in every game, especially when Rhodes is gone, I hope to make the surname Wright at the San Siro Stadium, leave more memories! ”
If in the first leg, the conversation about the comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka was not over, then after AC Milan's 3-0 home win over Manchester United in the second leg, there seemed to be every reason to say that Kaka could wait for the 2007 European Ballon d'Or.
When Cristiano Ronaldo angrily scolded his teammate O'Shea after breaking through again and again, Kaka once again opened the door to victory for AC Milan with his consistent performance, Kaka is currently the top scorer in the Champions League with 11 goals, and after canceling the second group stage of the Champions Cup, from 17 to 13 wins, Kaka is the second player to reach double figures, the first is his younger brother Degan, but it is worth noting that Kaka is not yet a real goalscorer.
In the first minute of the game, Kaka took the ball on the right side of the middle and then broke through with a change of rhythm, and he shook off Heinze and burst into the right rib of the opponent's penalty area, but unfortunately his cross pass crossed in front of Seedorf, but this successful breakthrough showed Kakarian Haode state.
Carlo Ancelotti always talks about the importance of 'taking the initiative early' and Kaka is the key, with eight of Kaka's 19 goals this season coming in the first 30 minutes.
So, when the game reached the eleventh minute, Nesta launched an attack with a long pass, Seedorf showed an extraordinary tacit understanding with Kaka with a header in the penalty area, the ball was bummeled on the ground, Kaka did not wait for the ball to land again, and directly volleyed with his left foot to the bottom right corner of the goal!
Van der Sar made a save, but Kaka's shot was described by Sport as "an angle that could not be saved", and from that moment on, Milan went from behind to leading, and in the pouring rain, Kaka clenched his fists and shouted, and his team-mates rushed up to hug the AC Milan hero.
'I think he has a Di Stefano touch on him, Kaka is able to start just right in the box and give the opponent a lethal blow. Legendary goalscorer Altafini described Kaka's goal as the most beautiful interpretation of Altafini's words.
Kaka still had a chance to score, and just after the start of the second half, he burst into the box with a high-speed dribble before making a sudden stop and shaking Vidic down, before his powerful shot was saved by Van der Sar.
In the 69th minute, Kaka's powerful shot from the edge of the box deflected off Nemanja Vidic, and Van der Sar, who had lost his centre of gravity, had already disarmed, but this time United were lucky enough to have the ball go off the line on the outside of the other post.
In addition to the decisive blow, Kaka's dribbling on the ball always made the United players nervous, although he rarely pedaled his bike, and in the 75th minute, Kaka was tackled and tackled by Vidic, but Kaka was still able to lean on the man after getting up, turned and dribbled along the touchline, and passed the ball from between the legs of the Serbis to Gilardino in the box, without any fancy movements, but to achieve the most haode effect.
Just like Inter Milan legend Suarez compared Kaka with Cristiano Ronaldo's dribbling: "Kaka can leave an indelible impression on the opponent through a simple but impressive performance, and Ronaldo, probably the public's impression of him is more on his passing movements." ”
Paul. Rossi's description is more vivid: "Cristiano Ronaldo has a lot of fancy dribbling performances, and as a result, Zuihou conceded the ball himself, while Kaka, on the contrary, just completed difficult passes with simple and neat movements. You can ask Zico or Maradona when he is faster with the ball, when he can play freely without restrictions, or when there is a dog chasing after him? ”
"I'm not at the top of my game," Kaka said in his post-match interview, "I'm better than last season, but I still have a lot to improve and I need to learn, improve, adapt and appreciate to make myself a more well-rounded player." ”
Although Kaka still has higher requirements for himself, it can be said that after this battle, Kaka has really become the biggest favorite for the European Ballon d'Or, but in Kaka's view, he has a more important goal than the Golden Ball.
'It's a perfect game for AC Milan and it's good to meet Liverpool again in the final, it's a unique opportunity and we hope it will be different. It's a good opportunity for us to win back what we didn't win back two years ago, and I don't see him as a revenge, it's more like a chance to make up for the regrets in Istanbul in comparison. ”
