Chapter 14: The New Season Begins!
On August 26th, Ronnie appeared in Milan!
Galliani accompanied Ronnie at the press conference, where he handed Ronnie the number 99 shirt, which is his shirt number in Milan.
Ronnie, who was slightly blessed, calmly faced the excited media reporters and answered the questions raised by the reporters one by one. When asked about his current weight, Ronnie said: "I'm trying to lose weight and my current weight doesn't affect my performance. ”
When a reporter asked: "Don once said that you were his childhood idol, and now that you are teammates, what do you want to say to him?" ”
Ronnie said with a smile: "Don is a talented player who has achieved great results in just one season and rewritten a lot of records. He must be a great striker in the future. Zinedine Zidane thinks very highly of him, thinking that he is the best striker of the next decade, and I agree with him. ”
'I'm very happy to be team-mates with him and I'm looking forward to playing alongside him. We will definitely give the fans more exciting goals! ”
"A talented player like him, he's super capable of learning and doesn't need anyone else to say anything to him. I was the same back then, completely immersed in the world of football and comprehending the true meaning of football. ”
Ronnie's evaluation of Tang Jue is not high, and the next day, many media interpreted Ronnie's words, and they believed that Tang Jue was the successor of the French team handpicked by Zidane.
As soon as this news came out, those who were interested in competing for the leader of the French team were on pins and needles, and Tang Jue became their target, and they were determined to create obstacles for Tang Jue.
"Is it so good to be a leader? If you want to become a leader, you have to pass my hurdle first! ”
That's what they really think.
……
At this time, Tang Jue was preparing for the first game of the new season, and Milan's first opponent of the new season was promoted Mascoli. On 28 August, Milan will challenge their opponents on the road. Kick off the new season!
Maascoli is located in the city of Ascoli Piceno, Marche District, central Italy, and the Milan group arrived in the city of Ascoli Piceno on the morning of the 27th. Ronnie, who has just arrived in Milan, has stayed in Milan, which has the world's most advanced rehabilitation center, the club's scientific research center, and is carefully checking his injury.
On the evening of the 27th, Ancelotti called Tang Jue to his room. Ancelotti poured Tang Jue a glass of pure water, Tang Jue's brain quickly analyzed, what was Ancelotti going to talk about when he came to find himself?
"The new season starts tomorrow night, what do you think of the game?" Ancelotti asked.
Tang Jue thought to himself that he was very unfamiliar with the team in Serie A, and the coach should not ask him how to deal with Ascoli's defenders. So what does he mean by asking?
"How the coach arranged. I'll just kick it the way I want. Tang replied vaguely.
Ancelotti couldn't help but laugh. He's used to seeing talented players. Which one is so obedient again. Tang Jue's words sounded very beautiful, but they were actually very cunning.
"You misunderstood me, I mean what attitude you are going to use to enter the competition." Ancelotti said.
What attitude? Since it's a competition, you must use all your abilities. And then fight and win!
Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Coach." I've always been hungry for competition. So I've always been serious about the game. ”
Ancelotti didn't have any expression on his face, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "On the trip to the United States, you are in a metamorphosis. I know that's very important to you. So in the face of the criticism of the media, I have been defending you. ”
Tang Jue was about to thank him, Ancelotti waved his hand and said: "You don't have to say those words of thanks, I am your coach, of course I have to defend you." "But tomorrow is your first appearance in Serie A, which is very important for you, do you understand that? ”
Tang Jue nodded.
Ancelotti nodded slightly and said: "In that case, then you have to play normally in the game, and you must pass the ball when it's time to pass." Ronnie is here, do you know what he is called great? ”
Tang Jue frowned, everyone understands Ronnie's greatness, why does the coach ask this? Could it be that Ronnie has something else that no one knows? Or are people ignoring something important?
Carlo Ancelotti said: "The world thinks that Ronnie's breakthrough is his greatest weapon, and that's true. What can a striker who can only break through be a great player? Cristiano Ronaldo's trip to the United States changed when he learned to pass the ball and share the game with his team-mates. So he's maturing and he's going to be one of the best players in the world in the next few years. ”
Now Tang Jue finally understands the main reason why Ancelotti called him here.
"Ronnie has the highest number of assists at Real Madrid, which is overlooked by a lot of people. That's what makes him a great player. In the 90 World Cup, Maradona's goals were very few, but Argentina reached the final, why is it?
When a striker becomes famous, he will be taken care of by defenders, especially those who are known for their breakthroughs. The defenders of Serie A are extremely fierce, Basten fell under injuries, who caused those injuries? Ronnie has been injured multiple times in Serie A, so who caused it? Falling on the turf again and again, Ronnie learned to pass the ball. As he learned to pass the ball, his ability to control the game became stronger and stronger.
When you get the attention of a lot of defenders in a game, that's an opportunity for your team-mates because they don't get the focus on. Ronnie knows that, so he pays a lot of attention to the position of his teammates in the game, and the purpose of the breakthrough is to score, whether he scores or his teammates score, everyone has their own understanding.
Some people choose to shoot on goal themselves in order to compete for the top scorer. Some people choose to pass the ball to their teammates and let their teammates complete the shot for the sake of the team's victory. There is a question of trade-offs. ”
"Trade-offs, people make trade-offs all their lives. There are gains and losses, how will you choose? ”
Tang Jue fell into deep thought, and Ancelotti took a sip of the cup in front of him. He did carry a lot of pressure during his trip to the United States. The media's verbal criticism of Tang Jue turned to target him. Tomorrow the new season starts and he is hungry for a win and wants to get off to a good start.
"You don't have to answer me now, but you have to think about it." Ancelotti said.
Tang Jue left the coach's room and returned to his room. Living with him was Pirlo, and Ancelotti's arrangement was meaningful.
Pirlo was not in the room, and Don Jue lay on the bed thinking about Ancelotti's words.
The coach's words are very clear, he just wants him to cooperate with his teammates in tomorrow night's game and win the game. Ancelotti's words really made Don Jue understand the meaning of a great striker. Except for being able to score goals yourself. You also need to use your power to attract the attention of opposing defenders and create opportunities for your teammates to score.
In this way, you will be able to exert all your deterrent power!
At this time, Pirlo pushed open the door and walked in, looking at Tang Jue who was lying on the bed thinking. He smiled and said, "What do you think?" Alice? ”
Pirlo made a very good impression on Tang Jue. The first time the two met was as rivals. Fight for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Pirlo told him during the match that he wanted him to come to Milan. After coming to Milan, Pirlo took good care of Tang Jue in many places.
Tang Jue shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about tomorrow's game." ”
Next. He told Pirlo what Ancelotti had communicated to him. Pirlo sat in his chair and thought for a moment and said, "Coach, this is for your own good. If you think about it, tomorrow is your official appearance in Serie A, and when you come to Milan, some media will question you, and when you go to the United States, this doubt turns into criticism. These should be stressful for you.
Of course, we can ignore these voices, after all, the game in the United States is not an official competition. However, tomorrow's game is a debut in Serie A and fans and the media are watching this match. If you don't behave well, those voices of doubt will turn into ridicule.
I guess you don't like to laugh at it.
Having said all that, I want you to understand that tomorrow's game is important to you. I know you're a capable person and scoring goals is not a difficult thing for you. ”
As an opponent, Tang Jue scored two goals in two legs in the last 16 of the Champions League last season, and created a penalty to help Saint-Germain draw with Milan home and away. A few days ago, in the game against Manchester United, he told Gattuso that he wanted to score a goal to show him, and not long after saying this, Tang Jue scored.
So in Pirlo's heart, it is not difficult for Don to score a goal.
Tang Jue exhaled a long breath and nodded, he must use a wonderful performance tomorrow night to block those voices of doubt and criticism.
Pirlo continued: "As for what the coach told you about the pass and assist, you should think about it, what he said is really very reasonable, Ronnie has learned this at a terrible price, I hope you don't have to follow his old path. ”
Tang Jue looked at Pirlo and said, "Don't worry, I will think about this problem seriously." ”
"I'll pass the ball directly to you in tomorrow's game, pay attention to running where there is a gap!" Pirlo said to Tang Jue.
……
On the 28th, numerous media outlets in Italy made predictions for the first race of the new season.
Roma Sports believes that from the analysis of strength, Milan should not have difficulty defeating promoted Ascoli. However, Milan has always had a hard time performing well in the first game of the league, so it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose tonight's game. As for whether Tang Jue can perform well, it is even more difficult to say. They deliberately talked about Tang Jue's performance in the United States, believing that Tang Jue had not been integrated into Milan's offensive system at all.
Some other Italian media expressed doubts about whether Tang Jue could have a good performance in his debut in Serie A.
Fatigue is Milan's worst enemy, and after Milan returned from the United States, the players did not have a few days off and immediately went to training. In addition to the high intensity of the training camp, most of the Milan players are in a period of fatigue, and in this case, it is not so easy to easily beat the promoted horses.
At noon on the 28th, Ancelotti announced the squad, and there was no accident that Tang Jue appeared in the squad.
The game time was seven o'clock in the evening, and half an hour before the game, the media got the starting list, Tang Jue and Inzaghi served as the starting forwards, the four defenders were Kaka, Costa, Pirlo, and Gattuso, the four defenders were Cafu, Nesta, Kaladze, Maldini, and the goalkeeper was Dida.
This is almost Milan's strongest squad right now, which shows how seriously Carlo Ancelotti takes this game. Milan's first league fixture in the last two seasons has been unsatisfactory, with a 2-2 draw at home to Livorno last season and a 2-0 defeat to Ancona in 03-04.
Carlo Ancelotti is looking to change the history of a weak first game.
Tang Jue made his Serie A debut amid the suspicion of the media! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
