No matter how much Ancelotti quibbles and how Galliani explains, a problem has gradually come to the fore, Ancelotti's unreasonable arrangement of players' playing time has indeed changed some people's minds.

Especially Croatian Simic, last summer, when Simic didn't play a game in a season, he had already entrusted his agent to contact Aston Villa, Everton and several other Premier League clubs, but Galliani found Simic himself, after a long talk, the transfer turned into a contract extension, Simic signed with AC Milan until 2008, after signing the contract, the Croatian eyes shone with joy: "I'm happy to stay." ”

But he waited too long for his first appearance, with Cafu injured a little earlier, and Simic said: "I'm ready to play. ”

However, Carlo Ancelotti opted for Stam and it wasn't until the ninth round that Croatia got his first league appearance, with AC Milan beating Empoli 3-1.

After that, with Cafu returning to Brazil for personal reasons to accompany his critically ill father, Stam with the flu and Maldini's injury, Simic began to get the opportunity to play, against Messina, against Livorno, against Parma, against Fenerbahce, against Brescia two Coppa Italia games, Simic started seven times this season, AC Milan won all of them, against Roma, with Stam's return, Simic was once again put on the bench.

Last season, Brockie's words before leaving seemed to be in my ears, "I don't understand, I'm no worse than anyone else, Weishenme always doesn't get a chance." ”

Now Simic may understand the feelings of his former teammates very well, and the so-called winning and not getting a chance is already a little chilling.

It was also a tragedy brewed by the club's summer transfer confusion, with Kaladze going to Chelsea, so AC Milan kept Simic as a backup centre-back, but Kaladze ended up staying and Simic's chances of playing were certainly greatly reduced.

Now, the practical substitute is finally determined to leave Milan, and the 30-year-old Simic is not the 40-year-old Costacuta, he still wants to play.

Carefully calculated, in the history of AC Milan, there are indeed many such excellent substitute players who chose to leave because they did not get the opportunity they deserved, from Locatelli and Mofeo back then, to Dorasu, Brockie, Abbiati, and now Simic will also embark on this path.

To deal with the three-line battle, the giants need two sets of lineups, but two sets of lineups are bound to bring some people can not get more appearances, not to mention the trust that the coach gives to the big-name stars, far beyond some practical but not well-known substitutes, how to deal with such a relationship, is the real knowledge of controlling the giants.

When it comes to dealing with these issues, Ancelotti is clearly unqualified!

Losing to Roma, Juventus' lead has reached 8 points, in 1999, AC Milan had Zuihou 7 points behind in 7 rounds, staged a big comeback, reversed Lazio to win the title, but in the middle of the season has fallen behind Juventus 8 points, can only watch the opponent disappear.

Whether or not you are good at playing against the wind is an important factor in the success of a team. In the 2003/04 season, when AC Milan last won the title, Milan was not lacking in the classic example of falling behind 2-0 and eventually reversing Inter Milan 3-2, as well as Zuihou's classic 10-minute draw with Chievo with two goals in a row.

Last season, Milan also staged two 2-1 home and away defeats against Lazio, but this season, AC Milan panicked once they fell behind.

In the first half of Serie A, AC Milan fell behind in nine games, losing five of them. Of the four games he eventually won, two were due to Degan's individual performances, and the other two were the biggest contributors to Kaka.

On the other hand, Juventus, who are far ahead in points, have successfully reversed 5 times behind 3 times, and the ability to reverse is so far away, how can AC Milan hope to turn Juventus and win the championship?

From Deportivo La Coruna last year to Istanbul last year, AC Milan were almost the perfect target for the reversal. The same is true for the league this season, in addition to not being reversed, AC Milan have also been reversed twice, away to Sampdoria and Chievo, AC Milan were reversed 2-1 by their opponents.

At the halfway point, AC Milan and Juventus were the only two teams in Serie A to win both of their home games, but the Rossoneri's away results were hardly on par with the Bianconeri.

Now beaten by Roma, AC Milan, eight points behind Juventus, have to join a new 'league within a league'. There are three teams in the competition, Inter, Milan and Fiorentina, and perhaps others to join. Winning the prize, nicknamed "League 2", will be a runners-up in the league and a direct entry to the group stage of the Champions Cup, which will make preparations for this summer even more relaxed.

In fact, Berlusconi's rhetoric has not changed since Milan's heavy defeat in the city derby: "All that remains for us is the Champions Cup, and there is no hope for the league, and I don't have any hope for that." ”

It's just that his players are still willing to believe in miracles, and this time, even the warrior-like Gattuso was forced to bow his head: "The difference of eight points says it all, now we just want to start again, at least in the Champions League." ”

Today, even the most fanatical dreamers, or the purest surrealists in football, can't avoid it: Milan are no longer able to reclaim the league trophy from Juventus, and all that follows is a series of consolation games.

When Roberto Mancini's goal put Roma ahead, the cameras were focused on Ukrainian Shevchenko, who had scored eleven goals at the Stadio Olimpic.

Shevchenko, the hero who fought to catch up after the Rossoneri conceded the first goal in Rome two years ago, is now completely gone, and there is no longer an unyielding will in his eyes, and Gilardino on the side is even more depressed than the Ukrainians.

Carlo Ancelotti arrived at the press conference after the game after the game, and he still did not give up hope: "Berlusconi said we can only count on the Champions Cup, but I would say that things are only getting more complicated. The difference of 8 points is indeed a lot, but on the football field, there is never room to lose hope. ”

However, Galliani's view is the same as that of the Prime Minister, AC Milan's goal is to fight for second place, and third and fourth are meaningless.

Milan's next opponent is Ascoli, and Carlo Ancelotti is now in a race against time, and he must pick up more points before the league enters the final stages of the league to make his "miracle theory" come true.

However, the day before the start of the game, Ancelotti suffered a heavy blow, and his ace Shevchenko, who relied on the most, was injured.

During training, Shevchenko suddenly collapsed without physical contact and was immediately taken to the hospital, and after the diagnosis, Ancelotti felt like he had been thrown into an ice cave for three or nine days, and his whole body was cold.

With three months of injury, basically this season is out of the picture!

Immediately afterwards, Amoruso collapsed again, not injured, but suffering from the flu in his eyes.

Milan, which was originally full of talent, is at risk, and now there are only three people left, Inzaghi, Gilardino, and a Digan, of course, Ancelotti can continue to ignore the existence of Digan, but how to deploy the lineup?

Ancelotti, who really had no choice, could only write Degan's name into the substitute list at Zuihou moment.

Opportunity!

Maybe that's the opportunity Fiori is talking about!

In the past, Deegan often went home early after training the day before the game for the next day, not to mention that Avril was still around, but this time, Deegan chose to practice with Fiori, who was also in the competition squad.

Deegan shoots, Fiori keeps goal!

I have to say that Fiori's strength is really outstanding, no wonder he has played in so many Serie A teams, and he has also been selected for the national team, but now that he is older, his reaction has declined a little.

"Valerio! What would you like to do when you retire? ”

Fiori is now 37 years old, although the position of goalkeeper is more and more popular the older he gets, but at Fiori's age, I am afraid that retirement is not far away.

Fiori threw the ball to Deegan and said: "I'm not good now, I like my life now, train every day, wait for the opportunity, if I really retire, I think I can't do without football, maybe I will stay, be a goalkeeper coach in Milan, and pass on my experience to the young!" But my wife thought I should try something else, I'm only 37 years old, I'm still young off the football field, right? ”

Deegan smiled, he hadn't smiled so happily in a long time: "Of course! You're not old now, Valerio! You say, if an opportunity suddenly comes your head before the final of the Champions League, will you feel nervous? ”

Fiori fell to the ground and saved the ball: "I don't know, in fact, I have already had such an experience before, in the 2002/2003 season, before the final with Juventus, Abbiati was injured and couldn't play at all, and Dida, who also had a finger injury at that time, Ancelotti once approached me and asked me to prepare, I was really excited, but in the Zuihou final, it was Dida who played, and I was not disappointed, because we won and won the championship, That's enough! ”

To be honest, it is really rare to have such a haode mentality as Fiori, Degan is willing to be lonely, patiently waiting for opportunities, of course, it can't be said that Simic is wrong, he is only thirty years old, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to participate in more competitions.

Deegan doesn't know if the opportunity will come to him tomorrow, all he can do is do as Fiori said, wait patiently for the opportunity to come, and prepare before then.
