Is Digan tired of life in Milan?

Degan didn't say anything more, others didn't care too much, Ancelotti didn't care, in his heart, he couldn't wait for Degan to get out of the way immediately, of course, it would have to wait for the team to get through the forward crisis.

Now, with Shevchenko's injury, Ancelotti, who is unavailable, can only pull Digan into his rotation.

Taking advantage of Juventus' forced draw, AC Milan closed the gap to the leaders to six points in the standings, which rekindled Ancelotti's hope.

In the first leg of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals in midweek, Digan was named in the starting line-up for the first time after returning from injury.

Carlo Ancelotti used only four of his main players in this game, with Amoruso making his first appearance for AC Milan, partnering Digan up front, Vogel playing in midfield, and Jankulovski also getting a chance to play.

AC Milan lineup: goalkeeper Carachi, Simic at the back, Nesta, Costa Kuta, Kaladze, midfielders Gattuso, Vogel, Jankulovski, Rui Costa, Digan in the forward line and Amorusso.

Palermo sent 4-4-2: goalkeeper Andujar, Zaccardo, Barzagli, Biava, Grosso at the back, Mariano in midfield. Gonzalez, Barone, Bonani, Santana, Gordias in the forward line with Di Michele.

After the opening, probably because of the cold weather, the players on both sides were a little unable to let go, and the two teams formed a stalemate situation, and it was difficult to attack each other's goal.

In the 10th minute, Rui Costa crossed to the left side of the penalty area, but the answering Amoruso was ruled offside.

Two minutes later, Santana was on the edge of the box and fired a volley wide of the right post.

In the eighteenth minute, Jankulovski also shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, which was held up by the fingertips of Argentine goalkeeper Andujar at the right post, Milan took a tactical corner, Gattuso crossed from the right, and Digan's header deflected off the left post.

Deegan didn't feel great today, with a patchwork starting line-up that made it difficult for him to get enough support, and when he dropped back to the middle to pick up, Amoruso up front struggled to pose enough threat to the opposition's backline.

Now this Palermo, although it has gone a Luka. Toney, but the overall strength can still rank in the middle and upper reaches of the Serie A, relying on their steel defense, in which Zaccardo, Barzagli, and Grosso are all members of the Italian national team led by Lippi, especially the Italian left-back who made Wong Tai Sin convulsive, and has good offensive and defensive ability.

In the twentieth minute, Degan suddenly pulled to the left, Rui Costa immediately passed the ball, after Degan got the ball, he used his speed to force Zaccardo and then made a low cross from the left, Rui Costa rushed to the horse, but the cold shot with his right foot was saved by the quick Andujar sideways to push out of the bottom line.

In the 28th minute, after a corner kick from Palermo was disrupted, Grosso crossed from the left and Biava headed it high from seven meters in front of goal.

The two sides, who had gradually moved their bodies, started a battle on the field.

In the 33rd minute, Amoruso won the ball once on the left side of the front, but he was cut off by the opponent when he broke through.

The Coppa Italia is not AC Milan's main goal this season, as can be seen from the line-up, but the appearance of Amoruso adds a new layer of meaning to AC Milan's game against Palermo, and at San Siro, the 31-year-old Brazilian, who joined AC Milan half a month ago, made his debut.

Leaving São Paulo, which was still a red sun, in the cold of Italy, Amoruso was obviously a little uncomfortable, wrapped tightly all over his body, gloves, neck covers, and a long sleeve under his jersey, despite this, Amoruso was still relatively slow to enter the state.

In the second minute of the opening period, Amoruso had his first touch of the ball, he received a pass from Rui Costa and went wide, and was cut off by the opponent, four minutes later, Amoruso wanted to pick up the ball on the left touchline, but the tempo was too slow, and the ball was lost under the bag of three players on the opposing side, and then it was Rui Costa's pass, Amoruso stopped the ball and made a mistake, it can be said that in his debut, Amoruso had an extremely bad start.

In the 44th minute, Simic took the ball with his left foot on the right side, and Digan shook his head in front of the goal, but the angle was too good and was confiscated by Andujar. However, Deegan didn't seem too frustrated, and now he was enjoying the game with complete peace, as Fiori said, not pushing for anything, just trying to grasp the opportunity that suddenly came his way.

In the second half, Ancelotti replaced Gattuso with Pirlo, and in the 55th minute, Rui Costa made a wonderful pass from the right rib, and Di Ganca leaned on Barzagli in the box and passed the ball to Amoruso, but unfortunately the Brazilian veteran's right-footed shot was confiscated by Andujar.

Carlo Ancelotti didn't like the Coppa Italia but didn't want to lose just like that, and then continued to strengthen the attack, Serginho replaced Kaladze, but the situation did not change for Milan, and then Kaka also came off the bench.

Just when the game was about to end in a draw, in the 87th minute, AC Milan broke the ball at the back, quickly counterattacked, Kaka took the ball on the left sideline of the front field and accelerated past Biava, and when he was about to reach the bottom line, he crossed low with his left foot to the middle, Digan rushed to the goal, 5 meters in front of the goal, the outside of his right foot pushed the top of the goal, and AC Milan broke the deadlock 1:0.

This score was also extended until the end of the game, although Deegan scored a goal, but his performance throughout the game obviously could not be compared to before the injury.

However, the performance was not eye-catching, but it was not Degan's fault, in the whole game, in fact, he did not get many opportunities, especially his forward partner was too weak.

Judging from the process of the game, Amoruso is indeed no longer the top scorer in Serie A and Bundesliga, the super dribbling forward and the ability to juggle away in the penalty area are now gone, the main problem is that the frequency of action is much slower than in the past, so that it is easy to be stare to death when he reaches the penalty area, and he did not have a decent shot in the whole game.

However, Amoruso's ball quality is still excellent, and when he doesn't have many chances up front, he frequently returns to midfield to get the ball and has a positive attitude, and in the game, getting rid of Zaccardo and Acardi on the left touchline, and a clever back-heel pass at the end of the first half, were the highlights of Amoruso's game.

Ancelotti commented after the game: "Amoruso is still recovering, in fact he hasn't really played since the Shijie Club Cup, he still needs two weeks to recover, but even in his current form, his jishu is still rich. ”

Amoruso also commented on his debut: "My debut should have been worse, it wasn't easy to play the full 90 minutes after a few days of preparation, I played better in the first half and a little bit tired in the second half, I hope my form can improve in the coming period, my team-mates will help me, Rui and Ricardo are good players, I'm happy to work with them, and Degan, his speed is unimaginable, these 90 minutes are important for me to know where I am on the pitch. In the past year in São Paulo, I was a little bit further back, but I don't think there was any problem with the top of the front, the only thing I need to do now is to get back fit. ”

Having said that, Carlo Ancelotti was already pleased with Amoruso's performance in such form, with the AC Milan head coach commenting after the game: "He hasn't found the rhythm of the game yet, but he has good possession of the ball, I didn't want him to play the full 90 minutes, but Rui Costa has an ankle injury so I have to replace him, Amoruso is a smart player, he found his place very quickly, his movement is different, all he lacks is a little bit of speed." ”

In addition, Amoruso's other problem is that the cooperation with his teammates is still relatively rusty, in the second half, once for Degan's ball, once for Degan to make the ball for him, all died because they did not form a tacit understanding, but these problems can be solved over time in training, Amorusso has a positive attitude, has excellent jishu, compared with Vieri, his characteristics are more in tune with AC Milan, and more importantly, he is very clear about his position as a "substitute striker", and he is also paid at the bottom, It should be said that Amoruso is a more suitable candidate for AC Milan's forward line than Vieri.

Ancelotti was also praised after the game for a substitution that came on when the game was slow to get off the beaten track, and his assist gave AC Milan a valuable home win after 15 minutes of Kaka's play.

At that time, AC Milan broke the ball at the back, Kaka took the ball and dribbled forward, Biava kept following on the flank, but Kaka suddenly accelerated to lead a position, bought himself space to pass, and then crossed low with his left foot in front of goal, and Degan fired home from close range with the outside of his right foot.

With the substitution of Weishenme Kaka for Rui Costa, how much has the game changed?

Ancelotti's substitution strategy proved to be correct, which Digan also admitted, but this does not mean that Kaka must be so much better than Rui Costa in terms of ability, the state of the players is on the one hand, Ancelotti revealed after the game that Rui Costa's ankle injury affected his performance, in addition, the characteristics of the players on the field are also on the other.

Speaking after the game, Carlo Ancelotti explained: "Kaka's presence gave the team that extra pace that we lacked and in that goal he was decisive. ”

In fact, as Carlo Ancelotti said, in the first 72 minutes of the game, the most important factor that AC Milan lacked was speed, to be specific, it was the change of pace, in fact, today's AC Milan was a bit of a standing and possession feeling, but this is also determined by the characteristics of the players themselves.

Today's front trident configuration is Degan, Rui Costa, Amoruso, in such a configuration, there is a lack of a direct impact on the opponent's defense factor, Degan's body has not yet recovered to the best condition, today's game is more often a person in front, back to the ball, unable to impact the opponent's defense head-on, Rui Costa's specialty is not a frontal breakthrough with the ball, now affected by an ankle injury, it is even more impossible to have this kind of penetrating breakthrough, Amoruso used to break through very strong, But on the one hand, it is the influence of age, on the other hand, it has just returned from vacation, and the acceleration training Jihua is only halfway through, and in the game, Amoruso has twice tried to break through head-on, so he retreats more to control the ball, divides the ball, and the two free-kicks in front of the court are also made when he gets rid of the pass.

In such a situation, AC Milan could not disrupt the opponent's defense with a breakthrough and an impact, and the chances created by Digan's hard-fought head in the penalty area, Leaning on people to force a turn and hit the goal, and Jankulovski and Rui Costa shot from distance were limited after all. AC Milan's possession style of play must have a player who can break through and change the rhythm of the field.

Deegan can take on this responsibility when he's at his best, and he can run long distances like Kaka, or even better, especially when he suddenly starts from in front of the box and bursts into the box, which often brings a windfall to the team.

Inzaghi can also take on this responsibility, although he can't dribble the ball, he can't attack, he can attack, he can turn the ball that his teammates don't pass into opportunities through his diligence and scrambling, and if he is on the field, Rui Costa will have more lines of play.

In fact, Ancelotti also revealed after the game that he originally wanted to replace Amorusso with Inzaghi instead of Rui Costa with Kaka, but the effect was the same.

For Digan's goal, Ancelotti and media reporters collectively ignored it, perhaps in their opinion, anyone can score that goal, it is really not golden, and the whole game, Degan looks a little dull, not at all like the madman who scored a hat trick in three minutes and scored thirteen goals in one game.

In Carlo Ancelotti's Jihua, Degan's role was only a transitional figure during Shevchenko's injury, and when the season is over, he intends to force the club to be retained, and he and Digan can only be left alone.

However, whether Digan will go, is still undecided, Shevchenko, who is deeply affected by Ancelotti, but after the winter break, he is riddled with scandals, this season, Shevchenko retreated, and still gave AC Milan 17 goals and 7 assists in all competitions, just in the selection of the best player in Eastern Europe, Sheva was elected the best by an absolute advantage, although he will be 30 years old in 8 months, but Shevchenko's form is still in full swing.

Last summer, Abramovich's tempting offer almost brought Shevchenko to Stamford Bridge, but in the end the Ukrainian chose to stay, but this did not make Abramovich die, "Sports Post" revealed that after half a year of silence, Chelsea finally made another offer to AC Milan: 60 million euros, transfer in the summer of 2006, 30-year-old Shevchenko, a huge offer, which one does Galliani or Berlusconi choose?

According to the Sports Post, Roman Abramovich remains unhappy with the current state of Chelsea's forward line and is sure to bring a big-name striker to Stamford Bridge this summer, while he has also sent the same offer to Barcelona to enquire about the possibility of acquiring Samuel Eto'o.

Of course, if what the Sports Post says is true, then it will be Barcelona who are more likely to release him, and Daily Sports said yesterday that a verbal agreement has been reached between Barcelona and Thierry Henry about transfers, and last night in the League Cup, Arsenal were eliminated by promoted Wigan Athletic at their home stadium, and such a team has struggled to give Henry, who is hungry for the title, any hope.

On the other hand, having rejected Chelsea's offer of up to €80 million last summer and lost the so-called "best opportunity" to sell Shevchenko, it would be better to leave Shevchenko to play his spare than accept an offer of €60 million this summer.

But that doesn't mean AC Milan's forward line has stopped, with Football Market headlining today with the headline "Torres ready to sell, AC Milan ready to act".

Gilardino is difficult to satisfy Berlusconi, Amorusso is obviously just a player who saves the field, Inzaghi is old, Shevchenko and Chelsea scandals continue, Digan and Ancelotti are on the same footing, and in the two games after his comeback, although he contributed one goal and two assists, Digan's state has obviously dropped a lot compared with before, and AC Milan's transformation of the forward line looks like it will have to make a big move in the summer.

Atlético Madrid Club has also previously publicly announced that Torres is no longer a "non-sale", as revealed by the president of Atletico Madrid, Cerezo, in an interview with the Spanish television program "Rondo".

"I will evaluate any request for Torres, just like any other player. It's a choice I have to make as president of the club, and of course I haven't received an offer so far, and if I do, I'll consider it. ”

The official statement of Atletico Madrid caused an immediate response, to which Torres' agent immediately responded: "Torres is only loyal to Atletico Madrid, he will do his best for the revival of Atletico Madrid." ”

However, Torres has been a long-term focus for AC Milan, with Chelsea and Barcelona also keeping an eye on the youngster, and Cerezo's speech is sure to cause some turmoil in the transfer market.

Degan, who was also involved, also said in a subsequent interview with reporters: "I don't know if I will stay, but now it seems that this hope is not big, if the club wants me to leave, I will not refuse, Milan has never been my home, here, I have never been treated fairly, maybe leaving, it is good for both parties!" ”
