Chapter 60: Stop, Don't Fall
Fiorentina had a two-goal lead before the end of the first half, and looking at Digan, who was flying on the pitch with open arms, the AC Milan fans were so stunned that they forgot to boo.
Just a week ago, they were celebrating their eighth Champions League trophy in the club's history, and listening to Carlo Ancelotti's rhetoric as they waited to win three consecutive European titles next season and continue to catch up with Real Madrid's nine-time title.
But now, things seem to have turned out exactly as they had hoped, with the duo of Albertini and Digan joining forces to almost push AC Milan into the abyss.
Di Gan is not like Albertini, although he is a fan of AC Milan, but he has no feelings for the current AC Milan team led by Ancelotti, he not only wants to celebrate, but also celebrates presumptuously.
His teammates wanted to hold him down, but Deegan didn't give them the chance at all, he wanted to run and enjoy himself, and he wanted to tell the gloomy fat pig on the sidelines that driving him away was the most bastard thing Ancelotti had ever done in his life.
If there was a crack in the ground at this time, Ancelotti was afraid that he would have already gotten in, and the two people he drove away slapped him his fat face, which was really uncomfortable.
Think about when he drove Albertini, when Galliani came to ask him for his opinion, what he said: "He is not in my jihua, what Milan needs now is young blood, but some old players are holding the position that should belong to the young, like this, AC Milan will only stagnate, even if he stays, in my heart the ranking of defensive midfielders, he is also Zuihou, we need to be responsible for his career, At the same time, the club doesn't have to spend so much money to have a player that we don't use. β
As a result, Albertini was ousted, and Ancelotti pushed Pirlo to take the position, and creatively invented the tactics of playing in front of the midfield, leading AC Milan to win the Champions League and Serie A in one fell swoop.
Then there is Degan, who Ancelotti admits is a very good striker, even better than Shevchenko, and perhaps only Ronaldo in his prime.
But Degan's personality is something he can't tolerate, and he doesn't allow differences within the team?? The same voice appeared, and it was even more intolerable to have someone question his authority, so Degan was also driven away.
"He's a great player, but not in my jihua for next season, and his injury is fatal for a professional player, I don't think he'll be able to get back to his best in the future, so it's good for everyone to break up amicably now, he can continue to enjoy football in a small team and we can put down a burden and move on!"
Ancelotti then defended his title and won the third Champions League trophy of his coaching career.
Everything seems to be fine, although the removal of Albertini and Digan has made him much criticized, but the excellent record and team results have made those doubts less and less, and people have even begun to compare him with the two greatest managers in the history of AC Milan, Sacchi and Capello, and Ancelotti may even become the Ferguson of AC Milan.
But it turns out that he thinks too much, it's not that he doesn't report it, the time has not come!
The two men he had driven away now came back hand in hand to take revenge, and Ancelotti shuddered at the thought that his side would become the first defending champions in Champions League history to miss out.
He must not allow such a situation to happen, absolutely not allow it!
Ancelotti's big head was thinking crankily, and the first half was over, 0:2! This score made everyone who loves Milan gloomy.
In the stands, Berlusconi's face was already gloomy and a little scary, and Galliani, who was sitting next to him, didn't dare to speak much, but looking at Berlusconi's appearance, he hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but say: "Mr. President, don't you need me to go to the locker room to meet with the players, I think this time should make them nervous!" β
Berlusconi shook his head: "No! Didn't Carlo Ancelotti always say that he wanted more power and autonomy? I'm going to give him that right now, and he should be able to solve this terrible situation today, not us! β
When Galliani heard this, his face suddenly changed, Berlusconi was not satisfied with Ancelotti, this is something everyone knows, and the head coach he admires more should be Milanese like Rijkaard and Van Basten.
Although Ancelotti also played in Milan when he was a player, and after retiring, even the beginning of his coaching career was in Milan's youth team, but Ancelotti's coaching style is conservative, which is completely contrary to the sexy football advocated by Berlusconi, so he is not popular with Berlusconi.
However, Ancelotti's results have been outstanding, both in luck and in the help of nobles, in short, since joining Milan in the middle of the 2001/2002 season, in five and a half years, he has led the team to win three Champions League titles, one Serie A title, a Coppa Italia and two UEFA Super Cups.
Galliani didn't want Ancelotti to go from the bottom of his heart, but listening to Berlusconi's tone today, it is not difficult for him to guess that the former Italian prime minister's dissatisfaction with Ancelotti has reached a limit.
A defeat in one game can cover up all the previous glories.
"Mr. President, Carroll's team results ~~~~~~~~"
Berlusconi waved his hand and interrupted Galliani's words: "Adrian! I know what you're going to say, rest assured! I'm not going to fire him, at least not yet, I just want him to know that I'm very upset and that he has to change and give up his damn conservative mindset! β
After Berlusconi finished speaking, he looked at the scoreboard at the San Siro Stadium and muttered to himself: "If Albertini and Digan hadn't left AC Milan, maybe we could dominate Europe by now!" β
If!
Another if!
When people encounter things, they always like to say ifs, but where are there so many ifs on this shijie?
When the second half came, the AC Milan players walked out of the tunnel, although they tried to show composure, but there was a blank look in their eyes, and it was clear that in the dressing room, Ancelotti still could not solve any problems.
No one knows what the crux of AC Milan is now, maybe they have found it, they just don't want to change.
After the Champions League final, for most Milan players, the season is over, everything is over, there is no need to work the pitch, what they want most now is to find a resort, to enjoy the sun, the beach, the sea and the beauty with their families, to enjoy a rare leisure time.
Just like now, their people are on the field, but their hearts have long since flown to the Maldives, to Bali, to Hawaii, to Miami.
Digan could feel the hearts of the Milan players and everything was fine.
Long before the Champions League final began, Deegan knew that it was time for a dynasty to collapse, and today let him personally send Milan into the abyss.
In Digan's previous life, the end of the Milan dynasty was also after the end of the Athens night, with the joy of the Champions League victory, Milan fell into a dark period, although there was also a brief restoration of Allegri during the period, but on the whole, Milan has been left behind by the top European teams.
"Demi! Isn't it special to bury your beloved team with your own hands! β
Albertini couldn't stop revealing his wounds to Degan, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Rod! The game isn't over yet! β
Degan smiled: "I know, but look at their appearance, this game is just another 90 minutes, and the result is the same, their minds are no longer on the court!" β
In this situation, probably Galliani didn't expect that he would have wanted to rely on AC Milan's Shili in Italian football to Yin Fiorentina, and by the way, Yin Liverpool, but the Yin Man itself is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting himself.
The Champions League successfully defended, but the spirit of the players was almost consumed.
At the start of the second half, Milan's performance did not make a 180-degree turn as his supporters had hoped, they were still absent-minded, still irritable, still angry.
Someone is still insisting, Maldini, Gattuso, Kaka.
Maldini insisted because he was the captain and it was his responsibility to put the whole team on his shoulders, he couldn't go down and he had to show a fighting side at all times.
Gattuso is also insisting, his persistence is due to nature, if there is anyone in this Milan team at the moment who has a completely endless desire to win, it must be Gattuso, he is a butcher, but also a warrior.
Kaka is also insisting, he insists because in the other party's camp, there is his younger brother Degan, although the relationship between the two brothers off the field is very good, but on the field, they are competitors, and they are endless competitors, the two people have the same surname, this same surname is also doomed, the collision between them will be more violent than everything else.
It's just that the persistence of the three of them seems to be a little futile, Maldini fights to the point of cramping, Gattuso's forehead is in a collision with Ledesma, blood is flowing, and Kaka can only fight alone more often.
Ancelotti thought of substitution, but the first person he replaced was a bit of a surprise one by one, Costacuta!
An old Milanese courtier who has long announced that he will retire after the end of this season.
When old Billy walked onto the court, AC Milan was powerless, but looking at him, it was as if the battle had just begun, and when he walked to a familiar position, Costa Kuta suddenly roared loudly: "Stand up, the game is not over yet!" Milan is not in the habit of accepting fate on its stomach! β
When it comes to AC Milan's iconic players, people usually think of such names, such as Baresi, Maldini, Albertini, and Costacuta.
Born in Olago, Costacuta made his first senior streak for AC Milan in 1985/86, but his first Serie A appearance came on 25 October 1987 when AC Milan scored in a 1-0 win at Verona, where Costacuta came off the bench to make his AC Milan debut.
After a dozen winters and summers, when the 2001/02 season ended, Costa Kuta announced that he would retire from AC Milan and prepare for the retirement of Jihua in Major League Soccer.
However, at the end of August, when the league was about to start, AC Milan persuaded Costacuta to return to Italy. Since then, Costacuta has been comfortable on the bench at AC Milan, always stepping up when the team needs it and staying in good shape.
During his 20 years at AC Milan, Costacuta made 454 league appearances, 73 Coppa Italia caps, 113 European appearances, five Intercontinental Cups and six Italian Super Cup matches. In those competitions, Costa Kuta has won 7 league titles, 4 Champions Cups, 2 Toyota cups, 4 UEFA Super Cups, 1 Coppa Italia and 5 Italian Super Cups.
In terms of career history, after his 41st birthday, Costacuta will overtake Viljovod, and he is only left with two goalkeepers in front of him, Balotta and Zoff.
The veteran had said at the start of the season that he would choose to leave the football stadium on June 30 next year, and this time it was true.
For 20 years, Costa Curta has no regrets about staying at the San Siro instead of going to another country to experience what it's like to play in a foreign country.
There are many defenders in Milan, there is Baresi in front and now it's him, Costacuta is another great Milanese, it will be Maldini in the future, or someone else.
Costacuta has not previously indicated any exact future after his retirement, perhaps choosing to become a coach, but because of his family, he may give up that option and he will spend more time with his family, or he will do some managerial work like Brattida.
Like Albertini, Costa Curta chose an official match as a farewell match, bidding farewell to the club he had played for 20 years and to the green stadium where he had fought for 20 years, and when he took to the pitch, all the Milan fans gave him a standing ovation, chanted his name, wished him well, and said "all the way" to the veteran who has been fighting in the red and black shirt for more than 20 years.
As a veteran of Milan for 20 years, Costacuta should have enjoyed a higher standard of treatment, although in the Milan team, Costacuta did not have the leadership temperament of Baresi and the timeless charisma of Maldini, but he was loyal enough to deserve a banner of Milan.
If Milan had already secured a Champions League spot, Costa Curta would have started this game.
Speaking before the game, Costa Curta said: "Compared to me personally, the interests of the club are the most important thing. β
There are twenty minutes left in the game, and at this time Costacuta came out, basically representing Ancelotti giving up the game, and the next time should be remembrance, but no one expected that when Costacuta replaced Maldini, who had fought to the point of detachment, he would shout such a sentence.
The captain's armband was on his shoulder, which represented a sense of responsibility: "Cheer up, we haven't lost yet, the game is not over." β
Some of the older fans couldn't help but moisten their eyes when they looked at old Billy on the field.
βforzamilanοΌβ
Such a roar resounded in every corner of the San Siro stands, and also awakened the fighting spirit of the Milan players on the field.
Maldini stood on the sidelines, looking at the old man on the court, Costa Curta, this usually silent and kind old good man, there is still such a side.
Maldini suddenly had a strange idea: maybe after Baresi, Billy would be more suitable to be the captain of Milan!
The game is still going on, Milan is also constantly attacking, although Costacuta is old and his body can be seriously degraded, but it is not difficult to cope with 20 minutes of play and play at a high level in 20 minutes, for an evergreen and living fossil like him.
Milan's crazy counterattack caught Fiorentina a little off guard, but fortunately, Albertini was in the midfield to stabilize his position in time.
Three old friends are each their own master on the field, such a scene, the Milan fans on the scene don't seem to have a little sense of excitement, once these three people were the flag of Milan!
Now that Costacuta and Albertini are about to retire, Maldini has signed a one-year contract extension with the club, but at his age, can he still fight for AC Milan on the pitch for a few years?
Seeing the players who came out of the Milan academy retired one by one, but the reserve liliang couldn't keep up at all, who is the Zuihou player that the Milan academy entered for the first team?
Francisco. Koko!
Where is Maldini's successor now?
Turin!
And only three appearances in a season.
Is it true that the Milan academy is out of talent?
If you look at Fiorentina, Donader, Abate, and Antonini have all become very important players for Fiorentina now, but such players can't get a chance at AC Milan.
Young people can't go up, they can only rely on these old guys, where is the way out for Milan?
Boom!
Degan's shot from outside the box was interfered with by Costacuta, failed to hit the spot, and flew straight off the line.
After withstanding AC Milan's counterattack, Fiorentina's offensive gradually picked up.
