Chapter 101: The Great War is Coming
The Champions League lost 0-1 at home to Barcelona, and in the other game, Arsenal defeated this season's Champions League dark horse Villarreal with Thierry Henry's brace, and one foot has already reached the final.
There is a general pessimism about the prospects of AC Milan, with the next meeting between the two teams being at Barcelona's Camp Nou, and when Deco returns from suspension, Milan will definitely want to storm this hellish stadium, which may be more difficult.
Galliani was also busy cheering up the Milan soldiers: "I don't think anything is impossible, when we met Barcelona in the Champions League final, they had Stoichkov, Romario, Koman, the powerful suffocating, but the result was 4:0, we beat them, I think the result will be the same this time!" ”
Of course, this is just a wishful thinking on the part of Galliani, but it is widely believed that Barcelona will reach the final and hope to repeat the glory of 1992 and achieve a league and trophy double.
Before the Camp Nou, AC Milan also played a Serie A match, in the 35th round AC Milan away to Messina, the final result of the game was 3:1, Milan reversed to win, narrowing the gap with Juventus to three points, for a time Milan rekindled the hope of the league title.
In this game, Carlo Ancelotti rotated Stamm, Pirlo was suspended, Volger was out due to injury, Cafu and Rui Costa were given starts, Inzaghi was on the bench, and Digan and Gilardino were partnered up front.
Messina will have to fight for relegation, and in the previous meeting between the two teams, Messina has won only one game against AC Milan in Serie A and lost all at home, with Iranian centre-back Rezai suspended and Muslimovic surprisingly replacing Dinapoli.
Only seven minutes into the opening game, Kaladze stepped on a foul when defending Floccari, and was shown a yellow card by the referee, Messina made a free kick tactical coordination at the front of the left penalty area, Aronica flicked with his left foot, Donati pumped shè with his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal, the ball passed through the gap in the human wall, and rubbed a few times on the turf, Fiori was interfered with, fell to the left and pounced on the ball, Nesta stuck the opponent's striker, but the body lost balance and failed to destroy the ball, and Scully, who followed up on the right, pushed shè with his right foot to score, Milan just started from 0:1 down!
The game that followed was even more unfavorable for AC Milan, as Kaka was infringed and put on an ice pack with a knee injury, and was carried off on a stretcher, with Ambrosini coming off the bench and Rui Costa switching to midfield.
Immediately after Nesta was scrambling, he injured his thigh muscle and took the initiative to ask to get off the field, Stam was replaced, Milan made matters worse after that, Ambrosini, who had just been on the field for a long time, was also injured, Ancelotti could only send Jankulovski as a substitute, and before the first half ended, AC Milan ran out of substitutions.
Ancelotti also kept protesting to the referee about the opponent's rough moves, if it goes on like this, the next game against Barcelona will not be compared, and it will be enough to surrender directly.
At this time, news came from another stadium that Juventus were falling behind Lazio, and AC Milan would have to overtake if they wanted to win the league.
After only five minutes, Jankulovski proved Ancelotti right in choosing to put him on the pitch, with a diagonal pass from the left, the ball penetrated Messina's defence, Digan quickly cut in the ribs, and volleyed his left foot into the near corner from a small angle, 1:1!
In the 44th minute, it was Jankulovski's low cross from the left again, Digan received the ball in the middle, grabbed before Messina's player pounced, and lowered his right foot vigorously, the ball bounced into the lower left corner in front of goalkeeper Stola, and Milan overtook 2:1!
In first-half stoppage time, Scully tripped Digan directly from behind while defending Degan, accumulating two yellow cards and being sent off, and the situation began to turn in Milan's favor.
In the second half, AC Milan continued to strengthen the offensive, hoping to score another goal and lock the win, the game went on until the ninetieth minute, Messina goalkeeper Storari threw the ball Liliang enough, and sent it directly to the force, Digan broke the ball in the right rib and burst into the penalty area, facing the attacking Storari with his right foot to the left side, and Inzaghi, who came on as a substitute, left foot oblique shè empty goal, 3:1!
Having narrowed the gap on Juventus in the standings, AC Milan only need one more win to move to the top of the table after beating Juventus in a head-to-head match.
However, the price of this victory was also very heavy, with Nesta and Ambrosini being injured one after another, casting a shadow on AC Milan's entire Champions Cup.
Of course, if AC Milan loses, it is not necessarily true, although the lineup is not complete, but there is also a huge variable in the next game, and this variable is Degan.
In the first leg between the two teams, Digan was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and when he arrives at Camp Nou, he will surely become the arrow man in the AC Milan attack.
Barcelona coach Rijkaard said: "Digan is an unimaginable player, his goalscoring ability is the best, he will definitely be our biggest threat in the next game, I will send someone to defend him in the game!" ”
Ronaldinho, the core of Barcelona, also said: "Digan is very sè, because of some misunderstandings, let him leave the Brazilian team, but I still admire him very much, he is the kind of player I want to work with, and the kind of player I want to play against on the pitch, but I don't think he will be a variable in the game, we have enough good defensive players, Puyol and Marcos will let him know how strong Barcelona's backline really is!" ”
Barcelona have a strong backline?
Degan doesn't think so, he likes the kind of defenders who are not tall, agile and fast, and he doesn't like the kind of stalking, physical and strong defenders, like Lucio.
Barcelona's current defenders, the main force is Puyol, Marcos, Edmilson, Belletti, although they are all Shijie-level celebrities, but against them, Degan has an absolute advantage, if you fight for speed, Degan does not think that he will lose to them.
"Barcelona are strong, but unfortunately it will be us who will win, AC Milan, we will celebrate at Camp Nou and then go to Paris and win the title!"
With three league games remaining, AC Milan are only three points behind Juventus, but Di Gan doesn't think they still have any hope of winning the title, it's not a matter of confidence, but in Italy, Juventus' Moggi is clearly more energetic than Galliani.
