Chapter Forty-Eight: After the Game
AC Milan rediscovered their winning sensations after a 2-0 home win over Lazio thanks to two goals from Degan, and after the game, the smug Ancelotti and his players pushed back against the previous call for a Milan crisis.
Poor think about change, the first three rounds of the league to get six points, for other teams, this is already a lot, and it can even be said to be gratifying, but for a giant team like Milan, three rounds of games, by the competitor pulled three points, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Ancelotti was clearly aware of the crisis and put up the banner of rotation again, Maldini and Gilardino were on vacation, and the formation was changed to 4312, with Nesta and Stam partnering the Lazio veteran at centre-back, Cafu and Kaladze on the wings; In midfield, Ambrosini was paired with Andrea Pirlo and Seedorf, with Kaka in front and Shevchenko and Digan up front.
For a team that plays on the third line, it is obviously the right thing to do with a rotation system, as it will keep the good form until the end of the season.
In the first half, there was little pressure at the back, with Stam and Nesta dominating the box and Lazio's most dangerous attacks coming from free-kicks.
Kaka was once again the engine that led Milan's attack, and in the forward line, Shevchenko's form was a little up and down, without a single shè, and Digan, who was starting for the first time, was much more active than Milan's positive striker.
In the twelfth minute, Digan scored when Kaka played the ball behind the Lazio backline, and after receiving the ball, Digan shook Stentaldo on the left side of the penalty area and pumped the ball with his right foot into the near corner.
Only 2 minutes later, Pirlo crossed low from the right, the ball touched the Lazio defender to change the line, Shevchenko grabbed the front point and did not reach the ball, Sereni fell to the ground to save and escaped, and Digan followed up at the back point to push the empty goal, 2:0.
As for the crux of the conceding goals in the first three rounds, there has been a long debate within Milan. Milan's predecessor Rivera thinks that it is a problem of aging defense, but looking at the starters on the Milan defense line today, the youngest Kaladze is also twenty-seven years old, and Cafu is thirty-five years old, but the defense has not conceded a goal, which cannot but be said to be a victory for old men.
Carlo Ancelotti clearly disagrees with Rivera either: "You can't just blame one part because we conceded a lot of set-pieces, and it has to do with the midfield and the attack. Older? The oldest is the one who performs the most. We've been playing like this for three years and they've been lucky for Milan. ”
Carlo Ancelotti also focused on praising Stam: "He's in great shape, he's very active. ”
But it was clear that this would not keep Stam's heart either, and the Dutchman had decided that he would return to PSV Eindhoven when his contract with Milan expired in 2007.
Zuihou even the 39-year-old Costa Kuta played ten minutes for Nesta, and now Milan are waiting for another old man, captain Maldini, to set a new record.
The thirty-seven-year-old man is not charming, and in July this year, he was selected as one of the "50 most handsome men on Shijie". After playing the full game for Siena, Fenerbach and Sampdoria, Maldini was also rested for the sake of his knee. With one more league game, Pony could make history by surpassing Zoff's Serie A record of 570 games, and now his record-breaking good has been postponed to Zhou Ri playing Treviso.
Carlo Ancelotti insists that the team has not been bad this season: "Against Sampdoria we were in very good form, just a little bit less lucky, today we were obviously better than we were three days ago, we will improve our form even better, we have been a little bit slow in the last two seasons, but then we are on the right track. Pessimism can create tension and dampen the team's form, but luckily we have a great club, they can judge the facts objectively and the players are good at adjusting themselves! ”
Commenting on today's victory, Carlo Ancelotti praised his team's defence: "In recent games we have scored very quickly and created a lot of chances, but it was hard to keep the lead, balance is a must, today we improved a lot, we didn't give the opposition any chances, and we found a solid backline, I think it's just a matter of concentration, we have to be focused at all times and today we did a much better job of fighting for the ball. ”
Of course, Ancelotti has another topic that can never be avoided, Degan!
Deegan scored twice on his first start for AC Milan today, and of course, if he hadn't been substituted at half-time, he could have done better and scored a hat-trick.
Obviously, for Digan being substituted at half-time, the reporters naturally thought of the contradiction between the two people, and Ancelotti certainly couldn't admit it: "Vieri? With him, Vieri and Gilardino, we have more liliang in the forward line, Inzaghi is coming back soon, our overall strength will be stronger, they are all able to contribute to the whole team, yes! Deegan only played half of the game today, this is because we have another Champions League group game to play, he needs to conserve his strength, I didn't say, Deegan will continue to start in the next game, which requires him to show enough form and seriousness in his usual training, in comparison, I am even more happy that Vieri is gradually getting back to form, today Vieri did not score, but he had a good chance in each half, we can all see that his form is gradually improving! To Vieri! We need to be patient! ”
Patience!
Vieri has now almost exhausted the patience of AC Milan, when Vieri joined, the Milan fans cheered, thinking that Milan will have the most terrifying forward in the whole of European football, of course, more importantly, they can use it to disgust their city rivals, what could be more enjoyable than pulling the sworn enemy King into their camp?
However, Vieri's performance is really sorry for the cheers of the fans, because of his poor state, he never got the opportunity, and soon the opportunity came, Vieri himself couldn't grasp it, everyone could see that the Italian bull was old, and his old body couldn't run or hit it.
This season, AC Milan played the front line, basically Shevchenko fixed, Gilardino and Vieri sang "two-person turn", this is Milan's current rotation system, Gilardino has scored goals, Vieri has also got a lot of opportunities, but this time, he played again.
Vieri's first game for Milan against Fenerbach was not impressive, but he was forgiven: he was short-lived, mentally not resonant with his team-mates, and not at his best physically.
Now, it's his turn again, replacing Digan at half-time, but Vieri still didn't have any outstanding performances, although the first person Gilardino ran to the sidelines to hug after scoring against Sampdoria last weekend was Vieri, although Ancelotti also repeatedly said that "Vieri should be as confident as he is in Gilardino", but this is not the bride throwing the ball, the girls will be the next to get married, and good luck did not patronize him.
Vieri's last league goal came on 15 May, when Inter beat Warno 1-0. Against Lazio, he started the second half with momentum, receiving a pass from Seedorf on the left side of the penalty area and firing a cannon into the air. Then, in the 56th minute, Andrea Pirlo's long pass was met by Cafu's chest in the box, which was saved by Sereni and Vieri's back post deflected wide of the left post. Then it was hard to find Vieri on the pitch.
In addition, Inzaghi, who has been troubled by his ankle for a long time, has returned to Milanello and started training with the ball, according to the Milan team doctor, on October 16ri, it will be Inzaghi against Cagliari, Inzaghi is back, I am afraid Vieri's son is even more uncomfortable.
Of course, it is impossible not to mention Digan, although there is an irreconcilable contradiction with Ancelotti, but the Milanello staff revealed that after the last game, Galliani went to the training ground and looked for Ancelotti, and the two sides talked for a long time, and then Digan appeared in the starting lineup.
It is clear that the club is putting pressure on Ancelotti again, and according to Ancelotti's usual style, it is clear that he has chosen to compromise.
Although he only played half a game, it is not difficult for Digan to get the support of the club, and there will definitely be more opportunities in the future.
Compared with the two, Vieri's time in Milan is afraid that it will not be too long.
Milan emerged victorious, taking nine points and moving up two places above Juventus, who continued to lead the league with a fourth straight league win following a win over Atalanta.
However, Seedorf did not care about Juventus' four wins in a row, and said in an interview after the game: "AC Milan were happy today, we are sure that we can get this victory, and at the same time we showed that we are actually away from the crisis, I am very happy that we played a game, compared to the same period last season, we are actually better now, and there is room for improvement." Standings? We just have to go our own way, we don't have to worry about the points of Juventus, the league is still long, there is time to catch up. ”
Galliani, the club's vice-president, was as calm as he was in the last round against Sampdoria, saying: "We created a lot of chances but we didn't take them completely, otherwise I would say the game was perfect. I still think we had more chances than the opponent against Sampdoria and we didn't deserve to lose, we won the last two games at the San Siro and we won the two games at the San Siro, so there's not much to say about the team, I was calm even last week. 20 years, 17 titles, 7 league titles, I've been through so much that I can accept it calmly regardless of whether I win or lose. And between wins and defeats, there are obviously more victories and I'm sure AC Milan will still be back in the race for the top of the table, we have that quality. ”
Afterwards, Galliani praised Degan's performance: "Degan's performance today was perfect, he took two chances to contribute to the team, of course I think he should get more minutes and contribute more to the team, he has that quality and has done really well! ”
Maldini did not play today, and Ambrosini, who wore the captain's armband, still had a good performance, and in an interview after the game, he also said: "I think we were a strong comeback to the crisis and we sealed the win early on. There are a lot of games ahead, but we are used to such intensive battles, and today's game really took us a step forward in the standings, and we will go into the game with such a calm and tenacious mentality, Degan! His performance today was very important for the team, but winning is not a one-man affair, we all gave it our all! ”
In the match against Lazio, Ambrosini wore the captain's armband for the second time this season, facing Lazio as an opponent, Ambrosini will have mixed feelings, 03/04 season, he made a key header before the end, allowing AC Milan to snatch three points from Lazio's home stadium, but also faced Lazio last season, his red card, so that he lost the main position that season, this time also facing Lazio, what awaits Ambrosini?
Ambrosini was involved in the battle from the very beginning of the game, his position was in the right midfield, which was not his best position, and he replaced Gattuso, mainly to block the opponent's attacking line, while taking into account the combination in attack.
In Carlo Ancelotti's words: "Ambrosini proved that he deserved the captain's armband with a performance. ”
In fact, before 2002, people believed that this armband should belong to him in the future.
Cautious, hard-working, and combative, rarely making mistakes, and occasionally making mistakes, he will make amends himself, this is the most direct portrayal of Ambrosini's game, Ambrosini received a total of three applause.
One was in the first half of the 35th minute, the opponent took a free kick in front, Kaladze cleared the ball with a header, and the Lazio peripheral player hoisted the ball into the penalty area, which was actually the most chaotic moment, and the first goal against Sampdoria appeared like this, but the blonde hair flashed in the crowd, Ambrosini raised it high, pushed the ball out, and then rushed out of the crowd, cut off the ball with his foot with Dubo, and then dribbled the ball at high speed to instigate a counterattack, in applause, Ambrosini handed the ball to Kaka.
The second time was in the 61st minute, when the opponent counter-attacked to form a three-on-three, but as Rocchi dribbled forward, Ambrosini came back from behind at high speed, slid the ball to the ground, and stabbed the ball to Stam with another round of applause.
Before the end, AC Milan still formed a siege on the other side, and Ambrosini's task at the moment is to prevent the opponent's counterattack on the periphery, in the seventy-third minute, Cafu passed into the penalty area, the opponent pushed out, Pandev wanted to get the ball on the periphery, but Ambrosini took a step forward, controlled the ball and handed it to Kaka, and then Kaka and Kaladze cooperated, the pass was destroyed by the other party again, this time it was Ambrosini, fighting for the top on Manfredini's head, and the ball still reached Shevchenko's feet, such a performance, the fans couldn't help but applaud.
But Ambrosini also has regrets, two minutes before the end, Kaka's strength shè was saved by Sereni, Ambrosini plugged in from the left side at high speed, faced with Sivilla's block, left foot fake shè real buckle, a feint shook the latter, right foot again vigor shè, the ball grazed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
"The ball? It's a shame I went out by grazing the crossbar, I didn't get the job done well when I was shè, I should have scored, but I needed some patience. Ambrosini was clearly still annoyed by the ball after the game.
In fact, he has nothing to be upset about, Ambrosini has riveted a main position this season, from the trajectory of AC Milan this season, the only defeat this season is precisely the game against Sampdoria that Ambrosini did not play, which will definitely make Ancelotti pay more attention to the use of Ambrosini in future games, and the attention received, as well as the captain's armband, has obviously enhanced Ambrosini's self-confidence, some of the get rid of the ball, Including the fake buckle before the final kick, it was rare for Ambrosini to do so in the past.
In addition to defending, Ambrosini also frequently sent through balls, and according to Opta's statistics, Ambrosini made 69 passes throughout the game, with only 8 turnovers, 32 of which were forward.
In the first three rounds of the rating of "Milan Sport", Ambrosini became the second person in the team after Shevchenko, and after this round, the rating is likely to continue to improve.
Ambrosini is also aware that he is in good form at the moment, and he said with a smile after the game: "I have been in good form during this period and I am very happy, but first and foremost it is in the interests of the team and individual success is subordinate to the team. ”
Maybe this answer is missing a little bit of xing, but this is Ambrosini, a player who definitely serves the team, otherwise, Weishenme Brockie is gone, Dorasu is gone, and he is still here after sitting on the bench for three years? Of course, his loyalty was most rewarded.
Ambrosini did deserve a round of applause for his performance, but there was someone who deserved more applause and enjoyed a full forty-five minutes of boos during the match.
But apparently Degan didn't take this seriously, and the contradiction between Milan fans has now turned into a war, Milan fans have noble stubbornness, even if Degan is now the most goalscoring player in the AC Milan team, but this still can't change his status in the hearts of fans!
"He disgraced Milan!"
"Such a thug is not worthy of playing in Milan at all!"
'He's scored, of course, it's his job, but it still doesn't give me an idea of him!'
"I don't like that guy, he made Milan lose his nobility, it's the worst, I just hope he gets out of here as soon as possible! He doesn't belong to Milan and Milan isn't his home! ”
"He thinks he's the king of shijie, but in our eyes he's just a clown, he's scored two goals, but we won't thank him at all, the next game, the war will continue to escalate, know that he got out of Milanello!"
As the team's goal-scorer, Degan actually received such treatment, which has to be said to be really strange.
'Of course I heard those boos, but those idiots would be naïve if they thought it would interfere with my play, I scored two beautiful goals today, thanks to Ricardo, we had a very good understanding between us, he knew what I was thinking and he believed in my ability, so he put the ball at my feet and I scored, it was a delicate moment, now you don't have to think about who is in front of the table, but I would say that Milan never got into a crisis, we just lost one game... What we need is a winning streak to regain confidence. Ancelotti? I don't want to judge him, he's not a coach I admire, I'm fit, I'm hungry to play, but that's obviously not what Carlo Ancelotti thinks, he took me off, it's his right, of course he can do it, but I'll still score goals and I'll use them to show him what's right! ”
Kaka is also clearly supporting his younger brother, saying that his chemistry with Deegan is evolving: "On the pitch I now know what to do, I try to improve every season, and with Rode, we already have a tacit understanding on the pitch, in fact our chemistry has been around since Rod was seven years old, when he first came into contact with football, I know his thoughts, he also knows when I will pass the ball, he was unbeatable today, those two goals are very important!" Crisis!? We've never had a crisis, it's normal to lose a game in a tough league, it happened last year as well, AC Milan have a strong team and I think we're going to do well in the next game, especially Rode, I believe in his quality, he can score goals in any game, if I had to judge, Rod is definitely one of the best strikers in Shijie football at the moment! ”
Of course, in this game, in addition to AC Milan's victory, there is another phenomenon that is more noteworthy, that is, the conflict between Deegan and the fans, after scoring the first goal, he also booed the fans who booed him all over the field, this kind of riposte, obviously will make their already tense relationship more delicate.
"I don't care what they think of me, I don't want to change to fit into Milan's 'noble' bloodline, I just want to be myself, I'm not a nobleman, I just want to be Robin Hood who robs nobles! Yes! I never thought I was doing anything wrong, I had my personality, it was very important to me, and if the San Siro booed me wasn't over, I would still fight back, they thought it would take me down, I can only say it's wishful thinking! ”
