"Ernesto, what do you think of this fight?"

San Siro Stadium, the second match of the Champions League group stage, Milan faces Manchester City at home. Before the game, many people were optimistic about Milan, after all, Milan is known as a team with "Champions League genes", and everyone thinks that Manchester City is still inexperienced.

Rist also went to Milan's San Siro Stadium to watch the game. On the other side were Galliani and Mubarak, while Rist sat with Bronzetti. Bronzetti is a three-size-fits-all in Serie A, with Juventus, Inter Milan and Milan all having huge connections. Or Milan transfer expert.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

"Milan is not the Milan it used to be."

Rist shook his head. Since Berlusconi didn't invest much money in Milan, Milan has slowly become a ** silk. Speaking of that year, Milan was also a majestic team in European football that created a Milan dynasty. Even after entering the 21st century, it has won two Champions League titles, which is quite a good club.

At the peak, the top players are also grabbed by a lot, from the back line to the front, world-class players are piled up. Unfortunately, Berlusconi, the owner, did not support it, and now Milan is completely a senior club. Look at the central defender Nesta who played in this game is 33 years old and Kaladze is 31 years old. Of course, for a central defender, the age is not too big, and it can be said.

But look at Milan's midfield. Ambrosini is 32, Pirlo is 30, Seedorf is 33 and Inzaghi is 36, and the only two in central midfield are under 30.

One is 25 years old for Flamini and the other is 20 years old for talented striker Pato. Seven of the Milan players in the main game today are all over 30 years old. Among the giants of European football, Milan's main players are the oldest.

"yes. Milan have only sold good players over the years, but have not brought in many good players. ”

Bronzetti nodded. Starting with Andriy Shevchenko and selling Kaka last summer, Milan now don't have any superstars at their disposal. Pato was strong, but when he came out of nowhere, Milan fans saw him as a savior. Although Pato's amazing talent can be seen. But it can also be seen that Milan really does not have superstars such as Shevchenko and Kaka back then. can only hope for a little hairy child like Pato.

Milan really hasn't had much to spend in recent years. The biggest move should be the introduction of Ronaldinho from Barcelona, but when Ronaldinho left Barcelona, the state was already in a mess. Compared with Ronaldinho during the Dream II period, it is estimated that the power is less than half.

"Leonardo is not a great coach either."

Rist looked at it for a moment. I can't speak highly highly of Leonardo. Although Leonardo's performance in leading Milan last season was not very bad, Lister has a very low opinion of Leonardo.

"Not as good as Coach Carlo Ancelotti."

Leonardo and Bronzetti still have a lot of friendships. After all, when Leonardo was playing, Blonzetti was also Milan's transfer consultant. Therefore, Blonzetti still saved face for Leonardo. Rist didn't speak, just looked at the situation on the field.

Leonardo does have a shortage of major generals in his hands, but his ability to use troops is also very problematic. Leonardo's current midfield is still Pirlo as the core, but it is actually a pseudo-core. Leonardo gave more forward chances to Ambrosini, and then the playmaking up front went to Seedorf. Andrea Pirlo appears to be at the heart of the pack but is more likely to play as a defensive midfielder alongside Flamini.

If it was before, it might be okay, but now Seedorf's physical strength is declining very quickly. In the past, when he was good, the dribbling was almost unbreakable. The dribbling ability is outstanding. It's a pity that Seedorf, thirty-three. His physical strength is not at the same level as when he was younger, and it is difficult to maintain his dribbling ability against the sky when he encounters tough defenders.

And even if Pirlo doesn't let him attack, he is not bad defensively. Andrea Pirlo is a true defender who defends with awareness and his positional sense is outstanding. But Leonardo asked him to defend like a player like Flamini, which simply buried his offensive and defensive talent.

Anyway, the current Milan midfield looks completely devoid of any rhythm. There is no clear direction. It's like hitting wherever you go.

"Seedorf, Yaya. Toure stood up to him. Twenty-six-year-old Yaya. Toure's physical strength is obviously greater than Seedorf's, and Seedorf is already unable to get rid of Yaya. Toure too. ”

Because now the core of Manchester City's midfield is Modric. Toure's offensive playmaking ability was temporarily suppressed. But when he suppresses his attacking ** and defends wholeheartedly, his defensive ability is definitely one of the best in European football.

Eliaia. Toure is 1.9 meters tall, and he is very similar to Arsenal's iron waist Vieira defensively. It's all long legs. The defensive area is huge. It's very difficult to break through one-on-one. Plus Yaya. Toure has a lot of physical strength, and once he is leaned on, he can't get rid of him at all.

"Seedorf, he can't get rid of Yaya. Toure. Seedorf and Ambrosini came to the rescue. Seedorf, pass! ”

In the past, this kind of thing was done by Pirlo. Andrea Pirlo is more than just the playmaker at the heart of midfield. This kind of forward plugging is also Pirlo's forte. Wait until you are answered, and then organize the attack again.

But now Leonardo thinks that Pirlo's explosiveness is not good, and this kind of tandem and forward insertion work is handed over to Ambrosini. Seedorf saw Ambrosini, so he quickly handed the ball to Ambrosini, because Seedorf was not sure that he would be able to shake off Yaya. Toure.

But Seedorf had just passed the ball. One of the men rushed up from behind and broke the ball.

"Luka Modric, Modric broke the ball."

Modric, like Andrea Pirlo, defends with awareness. Modric is thin and therefore one-on-one makes him look like Yaya. It's impossible to defend like Toure. And Modric's defensive face can't match Yaya. Toure is so defensive at the back compared to that. But a sense of position is Modric's strong suit.

Just Yaya. Toure went up to entangle Seedorf and Modric dropped back to protect the backline. But Modric has been keeping an eye on the movement of Milan's players, and as the playmaker of the midfield these are a must. So when Ambrosini came up, Modric had already judged what the Milan players were thinking. So he immediately took a step forward and waited for Seedorf to pass the ball and cut off Seedorf's ball directly.

'Luka Modric, give the ball to Silva. Silva flicked his right foot and Silva shook past Flamini. ”

Flamini is a very athletic midfielder who defends well one-on-one, but he also has a big drawback, which is that he doesn't have a good sense of position. This time he came to defend Silva fiercely, but Silva flicked the ball to the right with his right foot, and shook Flamini who rushed over. Then Silva just passed the ball out.

Silva is very good with the ball and dribbles, but normally he doesn't dribble for the sake of dribbling. On the contrary, Silva is very fond of passing, and his passing is very penetrating.

'Tevez, Tevez on the left got the ball. Abate is following Tevez, who is at a good pace...... Tevez enters the box and passes! ”

Tevez doesn't look short, but the chassis is stable and his body is strong. He is not afraid of general collisions at all, and in terms of physical strength, Torres, Silva, and Modric are not Tevez's opponents.

Therefore, Abate used all kinds of small movements and bodies to interfere with Tevez, but Tevez was not afraid at all. While playing against Abate, he continued to dribble the ball into the box. However, after seeing Nesta help in the defense, Tevez did not continue to break in, but passed the ball with his left foot.

'Silva, Silva leaked the ball...... Luka Modric, Modric's left-footed pass! ”

When Tevez's pass came, Silva did not receive the ball in the face of Flamini, but gave it a soft touch. Modric can shoot directly at the goal with the ball, and this is when Pirlo's ability can be seen. Andrea Pirlo had a good sense of position and kept out the angle from which Luka Modric could shoot. However, Modric did not shoot when he received the ball, but continued to pass the ball lightly with his left foot and passed the ball to the right.

In fact, in the blink of an eye, Tevez's pass passed past Silva and then past Luka Modric to the right.

"Yaya. Toure, this position is unguarded...... Yaya. Toure, shoot! ”

Milan's midfield is really not good. Just Yaya. Toure defended Seedorf, but when Modric broke the ball, Yaya was the last player to defend Seedorf. Toure also ran up. Originally, Seedorf was supposed to follow Yaya. Toure's, but Seedorf is not only not as fast as Yaya. Toure is also inferior to Yaya in terms of physical strength. Toure.

If Seedorf and Yaya. Toure runs up and down like this, and he has to take a break at half-time. Hence Yaya. Toure has no defenders on his side at all, so Yaya. Toure was able to shoot with great poise.

“al！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"This season, Manchester City brought in Yaya from Barcelona for more than 30 million euros. Toure, who opened the scoring for Manchester City. Everyone said that Real Madrid and Milan would be in this group, but looking at Manchester City's performance in this game, this group is a veritable group of death. ”

Yaya. Toure was very excited when he saw the goal. From Barcelona to Manchester City, I don't know how many newspapers scolded Yaya. Toure came to Manchester City in search of money. Of course, he couldn't have come to Manchester City without money, but he also wants to get some results at Manchester City. With a weekly salary of £220,000, he is also under pressure. Although it was a group stage of the Champions League, it was a very important goal. He was, of course, incredibly excited.
