AC Milan lost, and in fact there were predictions before the start of the game that AC Milan might lose because of a poor cross from the wing, and that happened in the game.

It should be said that Milan's problems in defending the cross have been continuously manifested recently, AC Milan's back line is seriously aged, and the personnel are not organized, through this game, these problems have been exposed, but before the start of the winter transfer, AC Milan only used this squad to insist.

In this game, AC Milan fielded a diamond-shaped midfielder in the first half, and he was also the main midfielder last season. In the first 15 minutes, they were a big threat to Sampdoria in the middle and produced a goal from Gilardino.

But then AC Milan shifted their focus to the right, mainly with Cafu and Gattuso's low crosses. This style of play was not able to play a very good effect due to their lack of impact and height in the front, but was seized by Sampdoria to counterattack, and Zuihou turned the tide of the battle.

In the second half, AC Milan once reversed the ball in midfield, then pulled away and diverted, and Zuihou broke through the middle, which still caused a lot of danger and created a couple of desperate chances. It's a pity that Shevchenko and Gilardino didn't catch it.

Compared with AC Milan's vacillating tactics in the game, Sampdoria's playing method in this game is very clear, that is, to launch a counterattack from the back, often Bonazzoli retreats a little, the high ball is planned, and then the counterattack.

After Sampdoria attacked the front, it was mainly to cross after being divided into two sides, which was also to seize the weakness of AC Milan's fear of crossings high, and sure enough, both goals were scored through crosses in this way.

It should be said that Sampdoria's tactical thinking in this game is very clear, in addition, Sampdoria's goalkeeper Antonioli played very well in the face of his old club, and defused AC Milan's several threatening shè goals, which was also a major contributor to the victory.

At the same time, Sampdoria's defense also withstood the test today, although it was a little passive by AC Milan's attack in the middle, but they still made timely adjustments and finally kept the score until the end to win the victory.

Although Carlo Ancelotti said after the game: "We created a lot of chances, but we weren't lucky! ”

But in fact, AC Milan didn't really have many chances in this game, and Milan mouthpiece "Milan Sport" directly called the game an "ugly defeat".

AC Milan could not threaten Sampdoria's goal, Gilardino was actually offside before the goal, it was an out-and-out failure, some media even began to make noises about a change of manager, and Berlusconi is indeed considering changing his "tailor".

In addition to Gilardino's goal, Shevchenko relied on his individual ability to break through in the first half and create a chance for Gilardino, in the second half Shevchenko received a pass from Maldini and was blocked by Antonioli, AC Milan then took a corner, Gilardino received a teammate ferry, and flew in the box to volley Shè to let Antonioli get away.

Other than that, AC Milan don't have any real chances, and these chances are created by the individual ability of the players, rather than relying on the overall combination of the chances.

Since the Saki era, AC Milan has been a team that pays attention to overall coordination, but in fact, AC Milan has scored more goals this season through the individual ability of the players, especially the five goals scored by Digan for AC Milan.

In fact, Ancelotti's so-called overall style of play, emphasizing the ball control at the feet, emphasizing passing, through the inverted foot, such a style of play in the early days of implementation, did bring some new things to AC Milan, but now, it has been completely familiar to the opponent, the opponent only needs to be accurate: no matter how fancy on the periphery, how complicated the inverted foot, in the end it is nothing more than a cross to the side, and as long as one person blocks Cafu and Serginho's cross line, and at the same time, the central defender and the midfielder are in the zhanzhu position in the penalty areaSuch a cross will ultimately be invalid.

Cafu made eight crosses in the game, but none of them posed a real threat.

Someone once compared AC Milan to Brazil because they always had the ball at their feet. But in fact, there is an essential difference between the two, AC Milan's possession and inverted feet are outside the opponent's defensive line, while the Brazilian team's control and belt, I don't know how many of them are full of performances, which can tear apart the opponent's defense, and this is not advocated by Ancelotti.

In this game, the camera camera captured a scene where Carlo Ancelotti shouted at him on the sidelines after Kaka failed to break through with the ball.

And this kind of discouragement of individual performance and change in the attack, blindly attacking on the perimeter like a computer program, the end result is that Zuihou finally loses patience and relies on forced crosses as the end of the attack. According to this style of play, AC Milan does not need Shevchenko who can break through, Gilardino who can grab points, but just need an Algerian Taray who can simply compete for the top.

In fact, what is more needed in the attack is change, not to mention whether Gilardino's goal is offside today, in Pirlo's through line, Shevchenko's unexpected heel knock played a vital role in tearing through the opponent's defense, which is an unexpected change, causing chaos to the opponent's defense, and in AC Milan's attack, this kind of "accident" is too little.

Attacking requires some risky play, and a direct pass is easier to lose possession than a lateral inverted foot, but once successful, it can create a real threat, and the inverted foot on the periphery is safe and has no lethal effect on the opposition's defence. Perhaps this is the inevitable result of Ancelotti's emphasis on safety.

As for conceding the ball, it is not the responsibility of the defenders, but the responsibility of Milan as a whole, AC Milan is advocating the slow backwards on the periphery, which requires two fullbacks and defensive midfielders to press, once the cross is pushed out by the opponent, and the second point is also obtained by the opponent, then it is a counterattack opportunity, and the opposing attacking players will directly face the AC Milan defenders. On the court, offense and defense are connected, and the end of one's own attack may become the opponent's attack.

But obviously the fans don't see it that way, they just think that the loss of the goal, is the responsibility of the defender, AC Milan this season the problem of the back line does exist, three league games, a Champions Cup, AC Milan conceded six goals, and there are goals conceded every game, in the criticism of the team, the criticism of the back line is the most, indeed, the aging of the defense line is a problem that the team can not ignore, this line of defense, is no longer the "steel defense line" 2 years ago.

However, there are two things that make matters worse. The first piece of bad news came from Jankulovski, who broke a bone in the Champions Cup against Roma last season after playing for Udinese and AC Milan for life, and one summer, he made good progress at AC Milan, but after the start of the season, he injured himself again when he played Romania with the Czech national team, and so far, the Czech has not played even a minute for AC Milan in official matches.

To make matters worse, Jankulovsky could face surgery. Jankulovski is still in pain after the last diagnosis and no fractures, which may have been caused by the insertion of a metal piece in his leg for rehabilitation after an old injury last season, which was originally intended to be removed in the winter, but now it is possible to move forward, and the club intends to observe further, but once the surgery is confirmed, the metal plate is moved, and Jankulovski's return will not be until November.

Another problem lies with Stam, who finally can't help but express his displeasure amid the criticism of the backline.

"Whenever something went wrong, I was always scapegoated. I didn't know it was weishenme, I felt like I was in good shape and I could have been better, but I became the center of criticism. ”

Stam hinted that he might return to PSV Eindhoven early, and it happened that there was news that PSV had invited Stam before, Stam said: "There is no direct contact between me and PSV Eindhoven, but I have read some reports in the Netherlands, I know they want me, I often say that when my contract expires, I will return to my parent club PSV Eindhoven, and I am still executing the contract with AC Milan, but in football this shijie, there is nothing certain, from the defeat in Istanbul, We know this. ”

In fact, Stam applied for a transfer to the club after this defeat against Sampdoria, but was rejected by the club, and the problem with Stam is not that he does not have the trust of the club and the manager, but that he is under too much pressure.

But in any case, AC Milan's defense is in a turbulent period, in the past two seasons, AC Milan's away results have also shown that the team's defense is reassuring, but this season, the team has scored 6 goals in two home games, and the offensive results are good, but the two away games have one win and one loss, the defensive performance is poor, and the aging personnel and other problems have begun to appear, although Kaka and Shevchenko are in good shape, Gilardino has also found a feeling, and there is a Digan who doesn't know when he will get a chance, But with a strong forward line and a team with a stormy back, it is obviously difficult to produce results.

Last season's Atalanta also had a major operation on the team's backline during the winter break before finally reaching the double, otherwise no matter how much Deegan could score, the back line would not be strong, and there would be no hope of the championship.

The defence is certainly time to be renewed, but the bigger problem exposed in this game is Ancelotti's coaching ability, first of all in terms of formation.

In this game, Ancelotti continued his rotation for the sake of rotation, and one of the most smelly moves was to rest Nesta and let Maldini and Stam partner in the central defenders, and it was Zuihou's change that made AC Milan a little scrambling in this obviously dominant game, and Maldini lacked tacit understanding with Stam in the middle.

Sampdoria manager Novellino's line-up was quite aimed at Xing, and in the face of the menacing Red and Black army, he strategically sacrificed Fraki, and Zauli had a clear task of disrupting Pirlo's every time he got the ball.

While Gilardino's debut goal for AC Milan early in the opening period delighted his team-mates, Sampdoria showed efficiency in the immediate aftermath.

In the 26th minute, Gattuso cleared the ball in front of the penalty area, Zauli inserted the shè goal, and Liliang was too light to be pounced on by Dida. Twelve minutes later, Toneto's cross from the right was met by Castellini's header from the middle, and Bonazzoli's late volley knocked on the door for Castellini to head in easily, with Stam and Maldini taking responsibility.

In this battle between the two coaches, An Shuai almost missed a move every time. In the first ten minutes of the second half, Sampdoria were almost pressed by their opponents, when Novellino boldly replaced Zauli with Fraki, and Bonazzoli dropped back to take over the task of marking Pirlo.

Only two minutes later, Diana tackled the ball from Karadze, crossed from the right, Fraki did not touch the ball in the middle, Tonetto at the back point was unguarded, he calmly stopped the ball and pumped the near corner, Liliang was too big, Dida could not react. Kaladze's lack of quality and the assist from Cafu's side left too much room for the opposition to counter-attack.

The Rossoneri were a little unstable from away from home, a minute later Maldini's shè in front of the penalty area was blocked, Shevchenko was blocked by Antonio with his knees, Milan corner, Gattuso headed into the box, Gila shè pumped in the air and was held by Antonioli.

Especially when the team fell behind 1:2, Ambrosini and Serginho stood on the sidelines for preparation activities, Ancelotti was ready to change, but in exchange for so many cards, Sergiño seems to be the master key in Ancelotti's hands, as long as there is a "lock" that cannot be opened, go to the Brazilians for help, but there is no real "master key" on Shijie, sometimes Serginho can have an effect, sometimes it can't work, today is the latter.

Serginho came on and did not make any more changes to the team's attack, except for a corner kick that allowed Maldini to cross and create a goalmouth volley for Gilardino to hook up.

On the one hand, Serginho's own state cannot always be so stable, in addition, Sampdoria plays itself as a back four, on the right side of Diana is a fullback, Digan's former teammate Zenoni was also an Italian international, not all teams can be opened by Serginho on the left side, 10 minutes before the end of the game, Serginho made two feints surrounded by the two, accelerated the breakthrough and then crossed with his feet, but kicked the air and fell to the ground, Such a situation is impossible to happen if the physical condition is out of the sè.

Forced to use Serginho, who played with an injury, and forced to let Ambrosini, who focused on defense, strengthen the attack, which not only exposed Ancelotti's lack of on-the-spot ability, but also reflected that Ancelotti did not have a few cards in his hand.

At this time, perhaps Ancelotti will think of three names: Dorasú, Brocki, and Degan.

Degan is in the middle of the line, and whether Carlo Ancelotti will remember it is a different matter, at least the previous two games against Ascoli and Fenerbahce have shown that Deegan does have the ability to change the course of the game.

As for the other two, Brocki is now the absolute main midfielder for Fiorentina, while Fiorentina are now one point above AC Milan in the league, while Dorasu is at the heart of Paris Saint-Rio.

The common characteristics of Dorasu and Brocki are that they are comprehensive, both offensive and defensive, just like this kind of game, AC Milan midfielder to Zuihou stage seems weak, Dorasu can strengthen the control of the team's midfield, Brockie's assault and hard work can also play a role, in fact, the opponent's left-back Pisano is obviously weaker than the rest of the backline, if the right midfielder position can give more impact, AC Milan may have a greater chance, but Serginho can only play on the left side.

After AC Milan lost Dorasú and Brocki, although they introduced Volger, but Volger's terrible mistake against Fenerbahce in the last round made Ancelotti may not dare to use him for a long time, in fact, it is equivalent to AC Milan losing two substitutes who can bring different to the stadium at once, and it is good to say that once the game cannot be opened, the problem will come out.

Serginho can't solve all the problems after all, and different games require different substitutions. Treating a 34-year-old veteran as a "master key" is actually the sadness of AC Milan.

And Brockie and Dorasu, one on loan and the other for 3 million euros, did not bring anything financially except for saving some wages.

In fact, Carlo Ancelotti has a good substitute at his disposal: Rui. Costa, the Portuguese performed well against Siena, even if Kaka was irreplaceable, but in the left and right wing-back positions, Rui. Costa has also had a good run and is still the most player to cross at AC Milan so far.

Perhaps he is the only player on the bench who can fill the gaps of Dorasu and Brockie in attack, but he needs more trust from Carlo Ancelotti.

Of course, after this game, people talked more about what would happen if Ancelotti brought Degan, but there was no if on this shijie, when AC Milan was in trouble, there was no problem with his physical condition, and he was in great shape Haode Degan, but was thrown in the stands by Ancelotti.

When Carlo Ancelotti needed a goal in his Zuihou moment to ensure that his team was unbeaten in the new season, there was no Deegan on the bench, only one Vieri, and after joining AC Milan, Vieri basically became a sitting bull.

Although he lost the first three points of the new season, Ancelotti still stubbornly said: "Congratulations to Samp, both sides played at a high level in this jingcai game. We're going to try to fix the defensive problems because the league has just begun. ”

Novellino scored an inch: "It was an amazing victory, we played a great game and the only regret was to let Milan score the first goal. A coach has to know how to make choices, and when you play against Milan you have to understand that if you just defend it will be more difficult, we withstood the test today and won and that's our football! ”

In addition to AC Milan's disappointment, the match should have been a milestone, at Sampdoria's Ferraris Stadium, Maldini ushered in his 800th game for AC Milan, and at the same time, he also played 570 Serie A games, equaling the record set before Zoff's retirement in 1983, but for Maldini and AC Milan, this landmark game, the memories left are more bitter.

The team lost the game, and in the game, Maldini's performance also made it clear that the former little brother is really old, in fact, in the summer, the AC Milan team doctor once said that Maldini's current physical condition can not play fullback, frequent back and forth, and can not play three games a week.

However, due to the injury of Cafu in the game against Siena, and then Stam missed the Champions Cup due to injury, Maldini had to play two games in a row, and this game was also because of Nesta's "rotation", Maldini once again went up.

In the 25th minute, Diana crossed from the right, Maldini fell to the ground in the middle and failed to clear the siege, but changed the direction of the ball's flight, Zauli volleyed in a very awkward position and did not hit Liliang, and Dida fell to the ground and pressed the ball under him.

But then the goal was conceded by the opponent in front of Maldini, Volpi's free kick was pushed to the other side, Toneto crossed, there was confusion in the AC Milan defense, forming a situation where the opponent two caught Maldini, Pavan jumped at the same time as Maldini, squeezed Maldini, and Castellini rushed in front of the two, the header hit the crossbar, and then Bonazzoli's volley.

Defensively, Maldini may not have too many highlights, but after the score is behind, Maldini's frequent appearance in the attack is touching, AC Milan in addition to scoring, the most Haode opportunity in the game appeared in the second half of the sixteenth minute, Maldini rushed to the opponent's penalty area and Shevchenko had a clever cooperation, Maldini crossed the head of the opposing defender, Shevchenko followed up and was subconsciously saved by Antonioli on the goal line, In the end, Maldini could only accept this bleak "800 commemorations".

Despite the loss, Maldini's value was undeniable, and after the game, the media gave Maldini a team-high 6.5 points, specifically mentioning his contribution to the offense when the score was behind.

Maldini was absolutely fully committed to the game, on the pitch he always gave his all, in order to equalise he pounced on the front of the pitch and angrily shè, in order to protect the defence, he even had a handball in the first minute of stoppage time, but fortunately the referee did not react.

On this day, Zoff's record of 570 Serie A appearances, which he set and held for 12 years, was equaled. The difference is that in Zoff's 22-year career from 1961 to 1983, which saw four teams including Udinese, Mantua, Napoli and Juventus, Maldini had only one name in his two decades: AC Milan.

However, the 1:2 defeat turned the memorial into a day of black sè. With Piero's brace, Juventus beat Ascoli 2-1 at home to top the table with three consecutive wins, and the day before, Inter Milan also won Lecce cleanly 3-0 to tie Milan's points.

In any case, Maldini's role on the field is important, his jishu, his personality, his charisma, all influence the team.

However, AC Milan will eventually lose Maldini, who is keen to break the 1,000-game mark, but it turns out that there will be some changes in Maldini's physical form in the three-day match, such as this one, which despite his hard work, was still clearly overwhelmed in some situations. Despite his high morale and good form, Maldini, who has become an epoch-making figure in modern football, has indeed come to the end of his career, which is a fact that many people do not want to admit but must admit that AC Milan's defence needs a new leader.

Perhaps the only thing to be happy about in this defeat was that Gilardino finally scored, but the scorer Gilardino was clearly a little frustrated by the defeat: "I scored a goal, but unfortunately it didn't get the team to win. We conceded two goals and we should have won the game earlier. Milan were in control of the game, we created a lot of chances and our performances were not for nothing. Now we have to pick ourselves up and I'm confident that we're the most united group and we all know what we have to do. ”

The defeat also left a series of question marks for AC Milan, who lost home advantage to Sampdoria?

The fans at the Stadio Ferraris were indeed enthusiastic enough and coach Govellino was shouting from the sidelines for a full ninety minutes, but their disadvantage was obvious, and they defended desperately for ninety minutes.

Lost in the offensive ineffectiveness?

AC Milan's attack was too focused in the middle, but Gilardino's goal in the 18th minute was completed on the central axis. Seedorf may have been a problem, as he played as a left-sided midfielder and was always running in the middle, while Milan had only one player attacking and defending on the left, becoming the source of Sampdoria's continuous counter-attacks.

Losing a line of defense that you were proud of in the past?

AC Milan have conceded in all four competitive matches this season and are particularly fearful of high-altitude balls. The two goals conceded in this game were the first point of the failure of the aerial duel, the second point of lack of protection, and the opponent's unguarded player made up for the goal. Although Nesta is resting, Stam and Maldini are not vegetarians either.

Lost at Carlo Ancelotti?

In the case of falling behind, Ancelotti's on-the-spot command is indeed debatable, he replaced Gattuso with Serginho, the formation changed to 352, and strengthened the wing attack, but then when he replaced Vieri, he actually replaced Cafu, even Vieri in the best condition needed shells from both sides, but without Cafu, AC Milan's right attack was almost paralyzed.

In fifteen minutes, the three killers Shevchenko, Gilardino and Vieri charged together, what a spectacular thing, what a piece of cloth this is!

Boss Silvio Berlusconi's famous "tailor and fabric" metaphor hangs over Ancelotti's head at all times, and if the wheels capsize Lazio again, the tailor could really be fired.

After the game, there was widespread criticism and skepticism from top to bottom, but club president Galliani still has his own opinion on the unexpected defeat.

'We were calm after the game and I spoke to Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi after the game and he was relaxed. We created a lot of chances today and we squandered two chances because we didn't have enough attention to hit the ball. It's normal for the forward line to miss some chances and maybe we're being too generous now, but we have to see the positives from this defeat and we need to start thinking about the next game and we have to look forward in the league and the Champions League. ”

Zuihou, Galliani still called on the fans to calm down and continue to support the team. He believes that the current defeat is just a sign that things are not as serious as imagined.

However, no one takes the words of Galliani, the king of lies, seriously, as he says every time that the team's summer transfer work is over, but every time he can do something amazing the day before the transfer window closes.

In fact, from the first round of the league, when the face of Ascoli played so hard, Ancelotti's position has begun to be unstable, as for whether he will be fired by AC Milan?

It seems that it will not be for the time being, and Galliani has made a public statement on the issue of Ancelotti's position: "Ancelotti's position has not wavered, we have not considered a change of manager, as long as we think about our results in the past three years, we have been in the ranks at a high level and have won many times, we are not too worried. After three rounds this season, we have three points more points than last season, and we also won the first game of the Champions League like last season, think about a year ago, until Zuihou we had the possibility of winning two titles, now we only need two things, the first is calm and the second is still calm. ”

Since Galliani said that his position is quite secure, Ancelotti was immediately relieved, and immediately said: "Galliani visited the players in the dressing room after the game, and at the same time encouraged the players, he was very calm, because we didn't play badly against Sampdoria, Galliani was satisfied with the game, he calmly told the team his opinion." ”

However, Galliani's next words are very intriguing: "For the arrangement of the lineup, Coach Ancelotti will have his own considerations, but the mistake cannot be repeated, we hope this is Zuihou once, I will discuss it with Ancelotti, will find the problem and solve the problem." ”

So what is the root of the problem that Galliani is talking about?
