After the winter break, the Italian scene was rekindled, starting with the second leg of the Coppa Italia, where Fiorentina, who played with an all-substitute lineup, beat Treviso 3-0 at home and easily advanced 6-1 over two legs.

Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio and Juventus also made it through without any problems, beating their respective opponents.

AC Milan, which is also an Italian giant, drew 1:1 with Catania away, with an aggregate score of 2:3 over two legs, and the Italian Cup failed to go on, but due to the dense schedule, the Italian Cup is a game that AC Milan has long wanted to give up, which can be seen from Pirlo being replaced when he was 0:1 behind.

Losing the Coppa Italia is not too much of a loss, and it is impossible to win the championship if you continue to play, the only loss is that the young player Parocchi has lost more training opportunities in the future, and in this game, he scored the only goal of his team.

Twice played for AC Milan in official matches, and once as a substitute, scoring two goals, it is said that all AC Milan's goals in the cup this season have come from the feet of the 17-year-old star, such efficiency, for a "post-90s" striker, can be described as a miracle.

Perhaps Carlo Ancelotti should have brought on Parocchi in the starting line-up, as the one-arrow formation proved to be ineffective again against defensive teams, and the commentator kept saying in the first half: "Gilardino lacks support, AC Milan should come up with more ways to attack".

In the second half, despite replacing Andrea Pirlo, who had been the best performer in the first half, Parocchi brought energy and his presence gave AC Milan more chances up front.

Paroschi, who idolizes Inzaghi, is a first striker, but because Gilardino is in front, this time his position has to retreat some, and he doesn't have many opportunities to get the ball in this game, but his pulling line on the forward line is clear, Gilardino got the single ball in the second half, from the slow motion, Paroschi pulled sideways for him to pull away a defender, causing a huge empty run smart and critical, and then when Gilardino hit the goal was saved, Paroschi also lost no time in inserting and almost made up.

Despite coming off the bench, Paroschi had the chance to score, and it was his only shot on goal in the second half, when Gilardino burst into the box on the right side of the offside position and crossed, and Paroschi, who had no time in the middle, ran out of the space and calmly pushed a far corner to make it 1-1 in the face of the attacking Bizzari.

Paroschi was also happy and regretful after the game: "It's always nice to score, but it's better if we can advance, we had a lot of chances, but we weren't lucky, Gilardino had a beautiful volley, but the goalkeeper made a good save, Ancelotti told me tonight that he was close to Gilardino and I think I did it, but unfortunately I didn't score the second goal." ”

Ancelotti was not disappointed by Paroschi's goal, but was very happy after the game: "Paroschi's scoring ability is very strong, he still has the time and opportunity to show his quality in the future, I think he is a promising new star. ”

AC Milan's youth system is a topic that has been talked about a lot lately, although Pato has made everyone's eyes shine, but after all, he is worth as much as 22 million, and AC Milan does not have many 22 million to invest in the transfer market.

In contrast, if more Paroschi pops up, the team's lineup will be much smoother. Over the years, AC Milan has also introduced many newcomers in cup competitions and warm-up matches, but none of them are as prominent as Paroschi, from Matri and Piccolo to Pozzi who did not represent AC Milan in official matches, as well as Borriello who is not from AC Milan's academy, and then to Mazzolati, Antonelli, Guelchi, Abate, Antonini, Donadale, none of them are as good as Paroschi, Perhaps Di Gennaro, who played against Udinese last season, came up with a striking jishu, but he doesn't have the stats to back it up like Paroschi.

Moreover, Paroschi is only 17 years old, he is the youngest of these rising stars, at this time last year, he was still playing in the "National Student League", and now he has already scored in the Coppa Italia, perhaps the last newcomer who made such an eye-catching appearance in his first appearance was 24 years ago Maldini.

While all eyes are on Pato, another AC Milan star whose name also starts with "PA" is also staging a miracle.

Two Coppa Italia games, two goals, and people are now talking about Roski and even seeing him as the best in the Italian Youth Cup.

But the future generations of Deegan are well aware that Paroschi does have talent and potential, and if he is given the opportunity, he is definitely capable of surprising everyone, but at AC Milan he obviously does not get such an opportunity.

AC Milan are not so much touting Parowski as they are building momentum for Pato's debut.

He made a high-profile move in the summer, but due to Brazil's domestic protection policies, Pato has been training and playing in Milan's youth team until January.

In the eighteenth round of the league, Pato finally came out after a long time, and he returned with Ronaldo, an alien who had previously recuperated in Brazil.

The AC Milan vs Napoli match was not only for the fans, but also for the insiders, and at this time, many players and coaches from other teams watched the game, either in their own homes or in hotels.

People want to see how powerful Pato really is that AC Milan did not hesitate to put all the transfer funds on him in the summer.

The final result of the game was a bit of a surprise, 5:2, AC Milan won a big win after losing the Milan derby, and more importantly, Pato scored, and Ronaldo, who returned from injury, also scored.

In the post-match press conference, Ancelotti spoke highly of Pato's performance: "Judging from his performance, he is an alien, and it looks like his jishu definitely does not look like an 18-year-old child, but like a 30-year-old football star." ”

However, in the face of a successful debut and sudden praise, Pato was very calm, but after learning that some people had called it a "phenomenon", he quickly said: "No, no, in my opinion, there is only one 'phenomenon', he is Ronaldo, he is the real 'phenomenon'." Fighting alongside him and Kaka was like a dream. ”

'Yesterday I was very calm,' Pato continued, "because President Berlusconi and my team-mates told me that I needed to be calm, I have to say everything was going well, and also because my family was watching me from the stands and I dedicated the goal to my family. ”

Ten years of gun hunting, ten gunmen.

AC Milan play Napoli at home and it's the turn of the Rossoneri to play!

He will be the youngest goalscorer to make his debut for AC Milan in Serie A in a decade, and the Brazilian duckling, who has been waiting the longest since joining Milan, will finally make his first appearance in Serie A in a Milan shirt.

AC Milan had already acquired Pato for a staggering €22 million last summer, but his league registration had to be postponed until January because the young man was under 18 at the time.

During this time, Pato was confined to Milanello training with the team and participating in some informal tournaments such as the "Kiev Invitational". At the beginning of the new year, the whole Milan team went to Dubai for winter training, and Pato had to return to Brazil to go through the cumbersome transfer procedures, this duck that had been cooked for half a year was finally about to "fly".

Compared with its predecessors of nearly 10 years, Pato's new gun has given Milan fans great expectations. His ability is not necessarily better than other red and black killers, but at the age of 18, he can be defined by Ancelotti as "better than Ronaldinho", which shows his great influence, and more importantly, Pato has shown his strength more through the youth team's games, and the real top league has not yet participated, the more mysterious it is, the more worth looking forward to.

Carlo Ancelotti spoke highly of Pato: "Pato has Inzaghi's sense of grabbing points, Ronaldo's jishu and Kaka's dribbling ability, and there is no need to say anything more than say that he is a perfect striker. ”

Pato is 1.79 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms, and he is indeed an attacker with comprehensive qualities, with good scoring ability on both his left and right feet and headers, and his physical coordination inherits the talent of Latin players, so Jishu naturally has no doubts.

From Pato, it is easy to think of a Spaniard in those years: José. Mali!

When he joined Milan 8 years ago, Jose. At just 21 years old, Mali is a future star of Atletico Madrid and Spain's youth teams, and is also valued at 19 million euros.

However, Jishu's good Spaniard will not look for opportunities to shoot in Serie A defenders, and coupled with his lack of physical toughness, he has only scored five league goals in two and a half seasons.

Later Trim had tried to get him to switch to full-back to play to Jishu's strengths, but the more well-rounded Tomasson joined after the decadent Jose. Mali can only be leased back to Spain, zuihou sold for disposal.

Jose. Mali's compatriot Moreno also arrived at Milan with La Liga's prolific goalscorer and UEFA Cup runners-up. What's worse than the former is that the original impactful Moreno only performed in a few cup games a season, and immediately bid farewell to the cruel Serie A and disappeared from people's sight.

The two Spaniards mentioned above, despite their outstanding ability, have struggled to succeed due to differences between the leagues, with individual quality being particularly evident in La Liga and the defensive intensity faced by the strikers less severe than in Serie A.

Speaking of style of play, let's take a look at a few of Pato's compatriots.

It is not ironic that Oliveira, the Milan striker who was considered a complete failure last season, has returned to La Liga this season.

The striker who only detoured on the flanks in Serie A and couldn't go straight to the middle was the most impressive one last season as a headless fly.

Although he bent his bow to shoot the "Blue Eagle" in his first league appearance, he was ultimately unable to integrate into Milan, and repeatedly grabbed it with his partner and midfield team-mates, which was even more ironic.

Oliveira's lesson reminded Pato Jr. that individual talent is important, but it is definitely not an inevitable factor for success in Serie A, and how to integrate into the team's tactics is the most important.

Kaka, who had a temper with his coach and teammates because of coordination problems in Brazil, has now paid great attention to his cooperation with his teammates and has won numerous personal honors.

Even Ronaldo, who has been in Serie A for many years, has paid great attention to partnering with his teammates on the offensive line after coming to Milan last winter, and Jishu's grasp is more used in assists and planning attacks.

Reason triumphs over impetuosity and humility is what Pato is trying to do in the Italian football system, and if he only indulges in his own dribbling performances like Rivaldo, he will inevitably fail.

In fact, in terms of the type of striker, the Brazilian youngster should be closer to the European striker, and the striker who has successfully landed in Serie A from the South American continent and transformed and strengthened should be the most outstanding Crespo.

Crespo was seconded to San Siro in 2004 and although he only had one season, he managed to integrate into Carlo Ancelotti's overall attacking system, especially during Sheva's absence, and led Milan to a two-legged Champions League win over Manchester United. With less fancy moves and a point grabber and scoring goals at all, such a striker seems to have more room to play in Milan.

Why?

At least judging from the tactics of Ancelotti's team over the years, it is obvious that it is a solid defense, midfield possession and management, and a reasonable grasp of opportunities in the forward.

Therefore, the "opportunists" have a lot of room to play. Crespo, Tomasson, Inzaghi and the German heavy Gianluigi Bierhoff are also typical of high-efficiency point-grabbing centre-forwards.

In terms of physical characteristics, Pato can learn more from Inzaghi, and the activities of "Super Pippo" on the offside line jishu can definitely be imitated by Pato.

Pato is not a good fit for the size of centre-forwards like Crespo and Bierhoff, but if he can learn the key to success and the insatiable desire to score goals, the little one can fit into the team right away.

Gilardino can be said to be a negative example of this.

When he was in Parma, he was the best center forward, although Jishu was average, but the lethality in front of the goal was huge, after joining Milan, it may be that the pressure of 24 million euros is too great, coupled with Milan's offensive tactics more to use Gilardino as a lighthouse, Gilardino gradually became mediocre, lost the sharpness he should have at his age, and now he has to take not making mistakes as the standard in every game, and even had the embarrassment of not shooting in the whole game.

The club also understands that Gilardino's problem is not in his ability, but in his mentality, so they have not abandoned Gilardino and have always regarded him as the leading striker for the next 10 years.

Now that Pato is here, the pressure on Gilardino should be reduced, and the media has also analyzed that Gilardino is likely to play with Pato to play the ability that the two cannot play alone, a center, a second striker, Gilardino's body and impact, Pato's jishu and consciousness, should make them a good pair.

Of course, this is only an assumption, and Pato will have to be ready for the "test" of Inzaghi and Ronaldo in turn.

Speaking of which, where is Pato's role model?

Perhaps the answer to the question is his No.7 shirt, the jewel left behind by Milan's greatest striker of the past decade. Becoming or even surpassing Shevchenko is Pato's real goal.

Sheva is not a standard box-type center-forward, but he does not lack the liliang and body to fight in the box, and more importantly, he has the perfect essence of speed, jishu and team-wide coordination.

Arguably, the Ukrainian is one of the greatest No.7s in Milan's history, and this season is destined to be an important revelation for Pato after being "ruined" by Oliveira last season.

Kaka once commented that Pato's biggest strength is age: "He can keep learning, and there is a lot of room for improvement. ”

Kaka was 22 years old when he joined Milan, while Pato was only 18 years old, and the Milan club should introduce the "duck" into a Fang Xiangshang suitable for the Serie A attacking system, and train him to be a shijie-level striker with a perfect combination of body, jishu and consciousness.

Milan have time, Pato has time, and the game against Napoli is just the beginning, the beginning of a legend for Milan's new Gunners.

Pato officially joined, Ronaldo returned to the pitch, and after the winter break, AC Milan fielded the Brazilian trident at the San Siro to claim their first home win of the season.

Brazilian teenager Pato, who has been following him for half a year, finally made his official debut at the San Siro and made a splash, talking about the beloved player who was given strong expectations by himself.

Ancelotti said: "In the internal vision of the team, we want to keep Pato relatively low-key and now we have to let him into the team, Pato played a very good game, but he also has to learn how to run as part of the team, how to serve the team, just as the team has to learn how to serve him better. Pato needs protection, he's still young and we have to help him and we'll help him look at his results calmly and humbly. ”

AC Milan's 5-2 win over Napoli was a real debut for the youngster Pato since joining AC Milan, and he turned that night into a real Pato night.

In the game, Pato's brilliant performance seemed to indicate that the 22 million euros spent by AC Milan last summer was not a basketball, but an investment in a real potential stock.

Silvio Berlusconi is also very excited about his investment: "He already has what it takes to be a champion player, and he proved it with incredible performances. I've noticed that in addition to his incredible speed, he also has a natural sense of position, and you can see him everywhere and he's an absolute genius. ”

Excited, Silvio Berlusconi reminisced about Pato's arrival: "We heard from our friends in Brazil and then we saw a DVD of his performances and goals. Those images ignited the excitement we felt when we saw Van Basten in action, and Ronaldo assured us that he was absolutely right, so we were undisputed and unanimously decided that Pato was the best candidate to strengthen AC Milan's team, although the cost of competing for him rose from the original offer of €10 million to the agreed €22 million. ”

Silvio Berlusconi immediately made a bold statement, Pato's arrival has allowed AC Milan to make up for the regret of missing out on Digan and Ibrahimovic.

At the same time, with Pato coming to the fore, Berlusconi seems to have finally given up on bringing in Ronaldinho: "Ronaldinho has never been our real target, there will always be questions about him in the dressing room, he has his problems in Barcelona and we have Pato now, we don't need him. ”

Kaka, the golden boy who accompanied Pato to make his league debut at AC Milan, also said after the game that Pato was worthy of the title of "Little Golden Boy" and became his successor.

Many football experts have also said that Pato's characteristics are very perfect, and the perfect combination of Shevchenko and Kareka can be seen in him, and Saki even said that "Ronaldinho can be forgotten now".

Silvio Berlusconi won the bet, he began to build momentum for this game six months ago, carefully re-packed for Pato, and Ancelotti was also very knowledgeable and began to prepare for this game early, in order to start Pato, he did not hesitate to cut down the Christmas tree that was successful last season, and put Gourcuff, who had just shown his talent and ability, on the bench.

Pato was lucky enough to land right in front of him with a big kick, and then he just had to use his speed to get rid of his opponent easily. Recalling the previous efforts to attack but repeatedly fruitless, this is a typical intentional planting of flowers and unintentional planting of willows.

After a long time, half a year of hype and waiting all paid off at that moment.

All the media unanimously exclaimed, a new myth was born, and the culture of "newcomers immediately shine" in Serie A was continued.

Actually, Milan has always enjoyed playing games like this. Weah, Bierhoff, Shevchenko and Kakamo did not book early to build momentum for their debut, but Pato was the only one who made such a huge noise.

A natural question arises, will Pato be Shevchenko or Oliveira?

You must know that Oliveira also had such a "dream start" against Lazio in the first round of last season, and won the game in seven minutes, but this has become his permanent memory in Milan.

Pato came to AC Milan at a special time, just as Shevchenko was called the "new Basten", Pato was also called the "new Sheva".

After Shevchenko's departure, AC Milan are in desperate need of a banner striker, a role that not even a fully recovered Ronaldo can play.

The whole team, from the boss, the coach to the senior players, all spoiled him and protected him, and the scene really seemed to be afraid of flying in his hands, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth.

Seedorf sacrificed his position for him, and Ronaldo sacrificed his glory for him, so that Ronaldo was still ignored after winning two goals that night.

Oliveira was far from so lucky last season, in fact, he was only used as a pawn for AC Milan to seduce Ronaldo, because his agent was none other than Ronaldo's brother Assi.

Coupled with the fact that he was just an "ordinary" Brazilian player, he didn't have Pato's sunny appearance or the popularity of Ronaldo and Kaka, and he had no one to help him when he was in trouble, so much so that he sleepwalked all the way after getting off to a dream start.

Pato will of course have a difficult time in the next game, and all the defenders are carefully watching his running route and habitual areas from the TV, but Pato has popularity.

Everyone tried to pass the ball for him, just as Ronaldo opted for a cross into the middle when he was perfectly on his feet, and Pato almost faced an empty goal but still hit the ball on the goalkeeper who had given up.

Now that he has put so much effort into the design and won the first bet, just like when he signed Shevchenko, Berlusconi has no reason to give up halfway, he will just continue to re-bet and follow.

When he signed Shevchenko, he seduced him with a luxury yacht, leaving Shevchenko, who was born in the bitter cold of Ukraine, stunned, and the Ukrainian reciprocated with the top scorer in Serie A in the first season.

Now Shevchenko, who is complacent when he becomes famous, gets a high salary even if he doesn't perform, and of course doesn't care about a few yachts.

Silvio Berlusconi will not care about his former first pet, because he already has a new favorite, younger and more worthy of further investment.

Do ducklings turn into white swans?

People are looking forward to it, only Degan knows the future trajectory of Pato, after a blockbuster, he quickly degenerated, and even for a while, became the spokesperson for injuries, today his head hurts, tomorrow his butt hurts, and after a season, he hasn't played a few games in a row for AC Milan.

It is often a high-profile comeback, and then returns to the sickbed.

Digan does not deny Pato's talent and potential, he is definitely the best among the young generation in Brazil, even better than Neymar, who has been hyped by countless people, but his mentality and injuries ruined him, coupled with the identity of the Milan horse master for a period of time, made him unable to put his position, and finally could only flee back to Brazil in embarrassment to lick his wounds.

So just when the AC Milan fans were cheering and thinking that they had found a new striker, Digan broke a basin of cold water at the right time: "The game was good, I want to congratulate Ricardo, they finally got a victory at home, for Pato, I don't have a good evaluation, one game can't decide anything, in my opinion Ronaldo is better!" ”

Ronaldo scored twice in the game and was judged as the best player of the match after the game.

"I'm interested in testing whether Pato is really as good as you say, and we'll meet soon, and I hope he can surprise everyone a little bit!"
