Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Good Start, But

On the day of the match against Ascoli, the weather in Milan was very cold, and the turf of the San Siro was not in very good condition. The poor condition of the San Siro is very famous in European football, a big club, but there is no match for the stadium, and this kind of thing can only happen in Italy.

Because the stadiums in Italy are owned by local municipalities, and each team is not allowed to have its own stadium, can only be rented, for so many years, Inter Milan has always wanted to have its own stadium, move out of the San Siro, but several applications have not been approved, and Juventus, Alp Stadium is good, but it is too big, every game The stands are empty, but their application for renovation has passed, but other teams are trying to expand and expand the capacity of the stands, Juventus, on the other hand, are shrinking.

Prior to this game, AC Milan had won all nine of their home games this season, with their last home winless coming in a 3-3 draw with Chievo on 20 May last year.

The team was full of injuries, and Ancelotti once again offered a rotation in this game, sending out substitutes such as Ambrosini, Inzaghi, Rui Costa, and Simic, and Jankulovski also started for AC Milan for the first time in this game.

In the first leg of this season, Ascoli almost won at home to AC Milan, but in the game Zuihou moment, Digan came off the bench and scored a hat-trick in just a few minutes, which not only helped the team to overtake the score, but also broke Basten's record for the fastest hat-trick in Serie A.

AC Milan's formation is still 4-3-1-2: goalkeeper Dida, from right to left in the backline, Simic, Stam, Nesta, Jankulovski, midfielders Ambrosini, Pirlo, Seedorf in parallel positions, Rui Costa in front, Gilardino in the forward line with Inzaghi.

Ascoli lined up in a 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper Coppola, Comoto, Domini, Adani, Tosto at the back, Carcello in midfielders, Biso, Parola, Del Grosso, and Quagliarella in the forward line partnering Belanovic. Milan youngster Foggia, who had performed very well before, sat on the bench for this game.

For the first time since returning from injury, Deegan sat on the bench with Kaka and Fiori beside him. Just three minutes into the game, AC Milan had a chance to score, Simic who returned to the starting line-up stepped forward to assist, Rui Costa distinguished, after Simic won the ball, a cross from the right, Adani cleared not far away, Inzaghi hit the top edge of the crossbar near the penalty spot, the ball hit the top edge of the crossbar, and bounced off the bottom line.

Ascoli didn't want to rest on their laurels either, and they had a very good season, even finishing in the top three of the table at one point, only to be beaten back to their original form as the league progressed.

Just a minute later, Quagliarella dribbled the ball in front of the field, wanted to break through, was kicked by Stam first, cut off the ball, directly a big foot, launched an attack, Ascoli's defense was pressed relatively forward, at this time wanted to take it back, but it was unlikely, Inzaghi took the ball near the left midline, rode alone in the absence of answers, dribbled directly into the penalty area, and his right foot buckled over Adani, who chased and blocked the block, and shot with his left foot eight meters in front of the goal, the ball drilled into the near corner from the side of goalkeeper Coppola, AC Milan led 1:0!

After the goal, Inzaghi also showed his passionate side again, spread his arms, and rushed straight to the bench all the way.

Degan also rushed out of the bench at the moment of Inzaghi's goal, the two are very good friends, he was only out of the game for three months due to injury, that hunger for the game, almost drove him crazy, Inzaghi has been sick since last season, just returned from injury, has scored three goals.

Degan is also a striker, and he naturally knows the forward players' desire to score goals, and as soon as he arrived on the sidelines, Inzaghi had already pounced and jumped directly on Degan.

"Inzaghi's goal, oh! The first thing he found was not Simic who provided him with an assist, but Deegan on the bench, who had been rumored to have a strained relationship between Inzaghi and Degan, and look at them now, a hug that broke all the rumours. ”

"Rod! Don't forget our promise! Inzaghi shouted excitedly in Degan's ear.

Degan, of course, remembers that when he was still recovering from injury in Brussels, he saw it on TV when Inzaghi scored his first goal since his comeback, with this saying written on his shirt.

After taking the lead, AC Milan continued to unleash a frantic attack. In the seventh minute, Pirlo burst into the box and distributed to the left, and Seedorf's shot was blocked by Coppola.

In the ninth minute, Rui Costa cleverly played straight to Inzaghi, but Coppola came out to get the ball first, and Inzaghi was a little slow by half a beat, and he also looked very annoyed.

In the twelfth minute, Pirlo was 30 meters in front of the goal, and the free kick was thrillingly lifted off the crossbar by Coppola.

In the 14th minute, Rui Costa headed in a corner from the right and Inzaghi headed it over, but Simic couldn't control the ball and was disrupted early by Ascoli's defender.

In the 17th minute, Simic crossed from the right, Inzaghi turned at the edge of the penalty area and fired a right-footed volley, but it didn't hit the right place, and the ball went off the line.

Inzaghi then signaled to the referee that the opposing defender was suspected of pulling people, but the referee ignored it, Inzaghi looked very disappointed, he has been out of action for almost half a year due to injury, and now every scoring opportunity, he cherishes it extraordinarily.

In the 26th minute, Pirlo fired a powerful right-footed volley from outside the penalty area and skimmed over the crossbar.

In the 37th minute, Andrea Pirlo cut into the box on the left and deceived Comoto with two consecutive feints, but his pass was blocked, Rui Costa took a corner kick, and Gilardino headed just wide.

Towards the end of the first half, AC Milan were in complete control of the tempo and Ascoli looked helpless.

Carlo Ancelotti was clearly pleased with the performance of his players, standing on the sidelines with his shoulders on his shoulders and a breezy face.

Degan was on the bench as usual, occasionally being taken out by Tasotti to warm up, and now that his team was ahead, he knew it would be difficult for him to play if the game continued like this.

If it had been before, I'm afraid he would have been anxious a long time ago, but now, Degan won't, he has learned how to adjust his mentality from Fiori.

Opportunities will always come, and all he needs is to wait.

In the 40th minute of the game, the situation on the field changed abruptly, Ambrosini did not stand up immediately after a tackle, but lay on the ground, clutching his left leg with a painful face, and the referee immediately stopped the game.

Seeing this, Ancelotti's heart sank suddenly, Milan's team doctor came in, but it was not good news that he brought back, Ambrosini suffered a muscle strain in his left leg, and he was afraid that he would have to rest for a month.

Ancelotti waved at Gattuso with a gloomy face, and after a few words of command to him, he sent Gattuso to the field.

Ambrosini looked gloomy with the support of the team doctor, walked into the player tunnel and went directly off the field, Digan looked at it, and sighed in his heart, just the game, he saw it very clearly, although Ambrosini did not have many highlights, but it was one of the most Haode players in this game, AC Milan, with 40 minutes of performance, the media rating after the game will not be low.

In Milan's midfield, the focus of attention is always on Kaka, who staged a wild attack, the brave and tenacious Gattuso, the elegant Andrea Pirlo, and the artistic master Seedorf, Ambrosini is rarely noticed, but in fact, Ambrosini is the most indispensable one on the field of AC Milan, as long as he is on the field, AC Milan's defense will be very solid.

Although Gattuso made a lot of steals, but the above grabs were more than the price, Ambrosini completed three steals within 40 minutes, but it was critical every time, and he rarely gave the opponent the opportunity to break through.

In the sixteenth minute, Ascoli attacked with the ball in the middle, Ambrosini made up for it but did not make a move, buying time for his teammates to return to the defense, seeing that there was no chance to move forward, Ascoli chose to reverse his foot laterally, and finally lost the ball in the pass.

In the 22nd minute, the opponent's inverted foot caused a vacuum in the middle of AC Milan, and Parol pulled up his foot to shoot, but Ambrosini suddenly rushed up and blocked the long-range shot.

In the 31st minute, the opponent counterattacked from the middle and drove straight into the ball, Ambrosini caught up with a sliding tackle from behind, hooked the ball with his right foot between the opponent's legs, and made a beautiful tackle.

In the 32nd minute, after Ambrosini made a steal in front, he went straight to the left rib and tore apart the opponent's defense, Inzaghi inserted a cross, and Gilardino was half a step slow to flank in front of the goal.

In fact, since his comeback, Ancelotti has been slowly letting Ambrosini find his form and rhythm of the game, and Ambrosini has given a positive signal, and it is easy to get close to the state before the injury, and the time to fight for the main position is approaching, and Ambrosini has fallen again.

In fact, although Ambrosini was disappointed, he seemed to have become accustomed to such a cycle, in the 03/04 season, Ambrosini had once squeezed Seedorf to the bench, but at the end of January, he was injured and returned the main position to Seedorf, and the Dutchman also seized the opportunity to score a beautiful goal in the Milan derby 3:2 reversal, Ambrosini had no chance.

At the beginning of this season, Ambrosini once put Gattuso on the bench, and Gattuso even proposed the possibility of a transfer in an interview, but Ambrosini's injury once again allowed Gattuso to buy time, and then, Gattuso played better and better, and he is currently the highest-scoring midfielder of AC Milan in the rating of "Milan Sport", and the second is Ambrosini.

Probably a lone star, Ambrosini's career seems destined to be accompanied by patience, in AC Milan, he endured the substitute position, and every time it came to the end, he had to endure injuries, because of his patience, AC Milan also paid the price, in the two tragedies against Deportivo La Coruna and Liverpool in the European Champions Cup, I am afraid that Ancelotti misses Ambrosini the most, perhaps long-term patience has given him a tougher fighting spirit than anyone else.

In terms of strength, Ambrosini is by no means inferior to any star in the "star lineup", in the absence of Maldini and Costacuta, all the players are willing to hand over the captain's armband to him is a recognition, but Ambrosini's positioning is a substitute, recently "Roma Sport" news broke that AC Milan may loan Ambrosini to Atletico Madrid, which is of course a fake news, but it also proves that in the eyes of the media, Ambrosini is indeed not a member of the main body of this team, which determines all this, not only strength, but also luck, but also fate.

Digan looked at Ambrosini, and felt sorry for him in his heart, Ambrosini and Gattuso are on par with Gattuso in terms of strength alone, if it comes to the role on the field, Ambrosini's role in the current AC Milan squad system is even more than Gattuso.

Although Ambrosini did not have a good relationship with Degan because of Vieri, this did not prevent Degan from admiring this Milanese loyalist.

Ambrosini went off injured, and just a minute later, Ascoli's manager also made a substitution, replacing the extremely poor Carero with Foggia.

Foggia also came from Milan's academy, but like his youth teammates, Foggia did not get the opportunity to play in Milan, and finally had no choice but to leave, constantly on loan, this season to Ascoli, his performance is very eye-catching, so far he has scored three goals, and also has five assists.

It has also been said in the media before that if Foggia's performance continues like this, he is likely to return to Milanello, but Digan knows very well that Foggia will not get this opportunity at all, because in his position, there is Serginho, whom Ancelotti admires more, and Jankulovski can also play as a left winger.

After Foggia came on the field, Milan soon received a heavy blow, Ascoli's pass in the middle, Gattuso pounced on the tackle, but failed to touch the football, after Foggia got the ball on the side, ran all the way to the front, lightly buckled the ball, shook off the sloppy Simic, and then cut inside, grabbed before Stam blocked, a curling ball, directly to the far point of the Milan goal.

Although Dida made a save, it was a pity that he was still a little slower, and he could only look up and watch the football get into the corner.

Towards the end of the first half, Ascoli actually equalized the score on the field.

Ancelotti was stunned for a moment, and then walked into the player's tunnel with a gloomy face, and it could be seen that Ancelotti was angry.
