Chapter 14: Appearance
Updated: 2013-11-06
On the Home Depot Center Court in Los Angeles, Deegan is like a wronged little daughter-in-law at the moment, sitting on the bench with a resentful face, and next to him is Gattuso, a good friend who replaced Pazzini.
The stands were empty, there were no spectators at all, and although AC Milan and Barcelona had countless fans at Shijie, it was clear that the Americans were not included.
Americans seem to be inherently uninterested in football, the first sport of shijie, and although there are some fans in the stands, they are all polite and polite, as if they are coming to a concert.
"Ivan! Are you sure that the Yankees will obediently give us the money for this attendance? Deegan was skeptical.
Gattuso is Digan's only friend in Milan except for Kaka, both of them are the kind of character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, plus Gattuso and Kaka have a good relationship, and Digan naturally became friends, and he also invited Digan to his home as a guest.
Gattuso held his chin and reacted for a long time before he answered: "The devil knows, those Americans don't know the charm of football at all." ”
It's not that Americans don't know the charm of football, but they really can't play this sport, as the boss of Shijie, they can't conquer football, which hurts Americans' self-esteem, so they selectively ignore it.
The Americans can be said to be very good at playing the trick of self-deception.
In this game, Ancelotti's starting lineup made Digan very injured, and the goalkeeper Sexxxxxs, who is the Greek with a long name, has four backs, Jankulovski on the left, Stam and Simic at center back, Cafu at right back, and Serginho, Vogel, Ambrosini and Kaka in midfield, and Vieri and Gilardino in the forward line.
Several new signings this summer have been given starts, with the exception of Deagan.
On Barcelona's side, the goalkeeper is Valdés, the backline is Belletti, Puyol, Marcos and Edmilson, the midfield is Xavi, Deco, Ronaldinho, the front three are Gyuli, Eto'o and the youngster Messi.
It can be seen from the starting lineups of both sides that Barcelona attaches more importance to this game than AC Milan a few streets away, and the main players sent on the field are basically the main players of the team last season.
After the start of the game, AC Milan still defended and counterattacked, while Barcelona played very aggressively and gradually took the initiative on the field.
Digan knows that Messi has only emerged in Barcelona since this season, and has stepped onto the throne of the football king step by step.
Just three minutes into the game, Messi had a chance on the left flank, accelerated past Cafu, and then crossed from the bottom to Eto'o, who followed up in the middle, with a shot that went just wide of the post.
Digan felt Gattuso's body tremble with it, his face nervous, this butcher was always full of enthusiasm for the game, even in a warm-up match like this.
A minute later, Barcelona made a comeback, Ronaldinho sliced the ball through the middle, Eto'o was not greedy, and the ball was withdrawn to Giuli, only to be shot high by Gyuli.
Barcelona's onslaught finally paid off in the 10th minute, when Ronaldinho picked out Samuel Eto'o from the edge of the penalty area, and this time the Cameroonian stabbed directly past Milan.
"Damn it!"
Gattuso scolded in a low voice, it could be seen that he was very unhappy, especially for Ancelotti's arrangement, although it was a warm-up match, but playing against an opponent of Barcelona's level, especially in the United States, how should he show the strongest strength of Milan, what is it like now?
Barcelona's attack was so aggressive that AC Milan looked like a castrated rabbit at the moment, with only a few jumps at best.
Vogel's defensive ability is good, but unfortunately in terms of organizing the attack, he is not at the same level as Pirlo, who was supposed to be the contact of the midfield, as long as he gets the ball, it means that AC Milan's offensive rhythm will be disrupted.
Kaka was very positive, but unfortunately he had too little support and wanted to pass the ball, but neither Vieri nor Gilardino could have reached a tacit understanding.
Vieri is old and has experienced so many injuries, and he is no longer the formidable super center forward he was at the beginning, and he is eager to show himself in front of Ancelotti, but after getting the ball, he either forced a breakthrough or a long-range shot with no accuracy at all.
As for Gilardino, he has clearly not yet found the feeling of playing for a big club, and he looks timid in the face of his dedication partner Vieri, and he does not even dare to ask for the ball.
In the twenty-fifth minute of the game, AC Milan conceded another goal, Puyol broke the ball in the backfield, and found Xavi with a long pass, Xavi and Ronaldinho collided with the wall, and then passed the ball to Messi who suddenly entered the Milan penalty area from the left side, Messi went forward, and then chased the ball quickly, crossed with a kick, Eto'o followed, easily pushed the empty goal, and scored twice.
Ancelotti looked at it, and his face became grim, although it was for training, but if it continued like this, I was afraid that the team would lose ugly, and it would be difficult to explain it at that time.
He could see that many of the players on the field today were not in shape at all, and they all looked groggy, obviously last night's carnival consumed too much of their physical strength.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, Ancelotti called the captain of the field, Ambrosini, over and told Almost, letting Vieri and Gilardino cover Kaka and use Kaka's speed to impact the opponent's defense.
Ancelotti took the initiative to change, and his old teammate, old friend, and old friend Rijkaard looked at the situation on the field with an old look, and he didn't mean to get up at all.
In the stands, Avril and Hathaway also came to watch the game today, and were enlightened by Hathaway for a long time, Avril still didn't plan to give up like that, since Deegan was avoiding her, then she had to take the initiative.
"Is the team in white that Deegan plays?" Hathaway is an athletic idiot, and she doesn't have much interest in baseball and basketball, which are popular in the United States, let alone unpopular football.
Avril also didn't know what the game was, and what she cared about now was not what the game was, but Degan, who was sitting on the sidelines: "It seems to be! Isn't it Milan? But they played really badly, they were only two goals behind in a moment, and if Rhodes was on the field, it wouldn't be like that, that damn fat coach! ”
Avril looked indignant and complained about Degan.
"Rod! Rod! ”
There were not many spectators in the stands, it seemed very quiet, and Avril's voice shouted, which immediately reached Degan's ears, frowned slightly, and looked over, just in time to see Avril with blonde hair.
How did she get here?
Gattuso obviously noticed that Avril was a big star, and Gattuso naturally recognized it, and the fierce face suddenly had an unclear smile.
"Rod! You're such an enviable fellow, I've heard that Avril broke off her engagement to his sissy fiancé, and this is your chance, don't worry, we'll keep it a secret from Belen! ”
Deegan glared at Gattuso angrily and said, "I'll say this to Monica, guess how she will react!?" ”
Sure enough, when Gattuso heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he became extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to slap himself a few big mouths.
It may be difficult for people to imagine that Gattuso, who looks so rough and is known as the butcher on the court, is a guy who is afraid of his wife in life.
Like the love affair between Piero and Sofia, the story between Gattuso and Monica is also very ordinary. While playing for Rangers in Scotland, Gattuso met Monica, the daughter of an Italian restaurateur called "Larodonda" in the heart of Glasgow.
When Monica first appears in front of Gattuso, the two fall in love. Monica's parents welcomed her, and Gattuso was very happy.
Because the couple had always liked this young man very much, and cared for him very much, and Gattuso, who had left home alone at the age of twelve, had long regarded this place as his second home.
After Gattuso and Monica met, their relationship has been very stable and deep, and Monica even gave up her studies in order to accompany Gattuso.
And unlike most of the female companions of Italian stars, she is not an outstanding beauty, and can even be described as average.
However, Gattuso was never the only protagonist in his private life, Monica. Don't look at Gattuso on the court, he is fierce and hot-tempered, but he is very affectionate to his girlfriend Monica, and once a paparazzi harassed Monica, but was served by Gattuso's iron fist.
When facing the media, Gattuso often proudly mentions his lover.
"My hobby?" In an interview, Gattuso said, "Not much, but whenever I have time, I like to be at home with Monica, and our two-year-old dog, Sam. We often watch DVDs together, or listen to music. I really enjoyed my time with Monica, and I felt like it was as it should be, as I spent most of my time on the football field. ”
During the 2004 European Championships, Gattuso and Monica's first child Gabriella was born, just in time for Italy to participate in the European Championships in Portugal.
This is probably the so-called iron man tenderness!
Gattuso failed to tease Degan, but was teased, so he simply closed his mouth and honestly observed the game.
The situation on the pitch was the same as always, with AC Milan playing chaotic and completely disconnected from front to back, and finally scored another goal by Barcelona just before the end of the first half.
At half-time, the main players went to the dressing room, and the substitutes such as Degan warmed up on the pitch under the guidance of assistant coach Tasotti.
Deegan also doesn't know if he has a chance to play today, although this is a warm-up game, but it is very formal, there are only three substitutions for the two teams, and Deegan doesn't know if it will be his turn.
But isn't there a saying that "opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared"?
During the warm-up, Deegan passed under the stands where Avril was several times, and Avril shouted his name loudly, but Deegan didn't know how to respond.
On the pitch he never lets people go, but when it comes to feelings, he's undoubtedly a coward.
Although Digan chose to escape temporarily, those reporters who had long been drowsy found such a big selling point, and naturally they couldn't let it go easily, one by one, as if they had drunk chicken blood, they frantically pressed the shutter and recorded every shot.
As the second half continued, Carlo Ancelotti also made a change, replacing Vogel and Gattuso to strengthen his team's interception in midfield.
But the problem on the offensive side can't be solved, AC Milan still can't open the situation, Barcelona has gradually slowed down at this time, La Liga will start a week earlier than Serie A, and before the start of the season, Barcelona will be the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, naturally to stay, and the relationship between Barcelona and AC Milan is very good, they don't need to kill everything, it's always haode to save some face.
Sixty-five minutes into the game, when Barcelona came close to scoring the AC Milan goal again, Ancelotti finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Go get Deegan back!"
Tasotti was stunned for a moment, but turned around and found Degan, who was jogging: "Degan! Get ready to play! ”
Play?
Degan smiled slightly, and although he was dissatisfied, he still followed Tassotti to Ancelotti's side.
"We need to have a fulcrum up front now, and I feel like you can do that!" Carlo Ancelotti said his thoughts directly, "You go up and replace Christian, go up to the front, help Gilbert, shoot if you have a chance to shoot, pass the ball to Ricardo if you feel reluctant!" Is there a problem? ”
Tactical center again?
It seems that Ancelotti still has no intention of giving up.
This time, though, Digan didn't challenge Carlo Ancelotti again, and all he needs now is to get on the pitch and prove his quality.
"No problem!"
If the person Deegan was facing at this moment was Mandolini, he would definitely stink and add: "You can trust me!" ”
Taking advantage of the dead ball, AC Milan made adjustments, and Vieri saw that he was going to replace himself, and it was his enemy in the team who replaced him, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
