The appearance of the Champions League and the promotion to the quarterfinals made Fiorentina celebrate, for the fans of the Purple Lily, although in the league, they have shown enough dominance, but after all, they lack confidence, and compared with the top three in the north, even Rome, they feel three points shorter.

Giants are not built in a day, and in the eyes of Purple Lily fans, although the Champions League symbolizes the top honor of European clubs, it is still not as real as the league.

Fiorentina made a big splash in the Champions League, killing La Liga giants Barcelona with a total score of 6:3 over two legs.

Fiorentina have been looking forward to this league title for almost half a century, and if they are distracted and miss the stage at Zuihou, it will be worth the loss.

There is no such precedent in the history of football, Leverkusen's Sanya King may be a little far away from Fiorentina, after all, it is what happened in Germany, but a few seasons ago, Lazio was finally reversed by AC Milan to win the championship with a lead of more than ten points, but it happened to them.

You know, Fiorentina is not just fighting on two fronts, but on three fronts, and there is a Coppa Italia final waiting for them.

However, in the 28th round of the league that followed, Fiorentina's performance reassured the fans a lot, and the score of 3:1 allowed Fiorentina to continue to consolidate its lead in the standings.

In this game, Digan sat on the bench, and Prandelli sent a combination of Cavinaghi and Mutu on the front, but near the end of the first half, Fiorentina, who had been scoreless, suddenly made a force, first Cavinaghi received Mutu's cross in the penalty area, pushed and scored, and only two minutes later, the Argentine returned the favor with a header, and Mutu, who followed up at the back point, stabbed and extended the lead to two goals.

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again, and in the 73rd minute, Deegan came on as a substitute, and just came on, with a free kick, to help the team lead by three goals, and Genoa only scored a face-saving goal by former international Di Vaio near the end of the game.

Although the game was won, in fact, Fiorentina did not perform very well in this game, especially the control of the situation was completely lacking the feeling of ease in the past, but seemed to be inadequate.

This is also something that can't be helped, the team has to fight on three fronts, and there have been two battles with Barcelona in the European arena, especially the first leg of the game, not so much that Fiorentina has killed Barcelona, but rather that it is a thousand kills and eight hundred, and at the same time as eliminating Barcelona, Fiorentina's physical strength has also been greatly consumed.

Defense, after all, takes more effort than offense.

And the closer the end of the season, Fiorentina's physical problems will also be highlighted, which is that Fiorentina has done a good job of physical reserves before the start of the season, and if it is replaced by other teams with insufficient heritage, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold on for a long time.

For Fiorentina now, they can only grit their teeth and persevere, the team is full of young people, their desire for glory is very strong, belief supports the body, Fiorentina can only go on like this now.

The performance of other teams participating in the Champions League in this round is also unsatisfactory, Inter Milan in the case of 11 to 10, although occupying the initiative on the field, but in the end the lack can only accept a helpless draw, originally in the second half to play more and less, Inter Milan has a chance to win the game, but Zuihou moment Mancini fainted frequently, especially with Vieira to replace Figo, but after the game was criticized by countless media.

Inter Milan finally got a point, and the city rival AC Milan lost again, and the Roma who defeated them actually performed equally badly in this game, the two teams played a real war of attrition for 90 minutes, and as a result, Roma won 2:1 with two flashes of inspiration from captain Totti, but paid the price of Panucci and Cassetti serious injuries and season reimbursement.

After the 2-1 defeat to Roma, AC Milan have been winless in six consecutive matches for Roma in two seasons, with two draws and four defeats in six games, which is in stark contrast to AC Milan's heyday from 2003 to 2005.

The 03/04 season was the heyday of AC Milan, in the league and the Coppa Italia, AC Milan and Roma met four times, four times against the league runners-up Roma that season, including three 2-1 in the league and the Coppa Italia victory over Roma in 16 days after the early winter break in 2004, and the other was a league title game, winning 1-0 at home to Roma.

In the 05/06 season, AC Milan was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Roma, but won 2-0 away with two goals from Degan, and in those six meetings, AC Milan had a record of 5 wins and 1 draw.

From 5 wins and 1 draw to 2 draws and 4 losses, it only took 5 years, the roles of the two heroes in Serie A were reversed, and such a huge change occurred, AC Milan lost three times to Inter Milan in two seasons, and six games did not win against Roma, such a record is not accidental, five years, it is not a long time, but it is not short, five summers and winters are enough to change a team in the transfer market, the contrast between the strength and weakness of AC Milan and Rome, the transfer market in the past five years has played a big role.

Silvio Berlusconi does seem to have lost interest in football, and since the summer of 2003, AC Milan have brought in a considerable number of veterans who are in declining form, including: Cafu, Pancaro, Stam, Favali, Crespo, Amoruso, Vieri, Emerson, Ronaldo, some of whom have been in form in the form of an increase in injuries, such as Stam and Ronaldo, and others in the form of declining standards, such as Favali and Emerson, Cafu, Amoruso, etc., the original main lineup is aging day by day, and the vast majority of newly introduced players, from the first day of joining, the state is declining, how can the strength of such a squad be guaranteed?

AC Milan is not without the introduction of sunrise type players, but from Kaka to Pato, there is also a short period of time for Degan, the quality of the players is undoubted, but the number is too small, the coverage is too small, two or three players in five years are far from the speed of the team's aging.

On the other hand, Roma, compared with the main lineup in the summer of 2003, until now, the team has quickly completed the replacement of the old and the new, the main force at that time, only Totti, Panucci, De Rossi three people remain in the lineup, and the remaining eight people in the current main lineup of Rome, including the main substitute Sisinho, Giuli, Aquilani, Vucinic and others, are all from the acquisition of the past five years.

On the other hand, AC Milan, Nesta, Kaladze in the backline, Pirlo in the midfield, Gattuso, Seedorf, Ambrosini, are all from the main force of the 02/03 season or the substitute at that time, and even the goalkeeper Carraci has just "grabbed power" this season.

In fact, AC Milan has not introduced a player, the Swiss Volger who joined in the summer of 2005, was 27 years old at the time, and his performance was also praised, but he was never able to enter the main lineup, Dorasu, who was older than him, was in good shape after joining in 2004, but the result was the same as Vogel, indeed, only those veterans who began to decline in form were able to play as substitutes, Favalli, Amoruso, Emerson, Vieri are all in this situation, AC Milan is not good for blood change, In addition to Ancelotti's refusal to pay for Berlusconi's refusal to pay for it, Ancelotti's lack of determination to change the squad is also to blame.

Five consecutive years of recruitment, can not be said to have no bright spots, but overall, did not promote the team's metabolism, the quality of the introduction is important, the quantity is equally important, Real Madrid's "one superstar a year" policy brought a moment of prosperity to the team, but the sequelae have not been cured for several years.

In contrast, Fiorentina, Inter Milan and Roma bring in a number of available players every year, and although Inter Milan will eliminate new signings every year, the remaining ones can still be used to replace the old and new players in the team.

As of today, AC Milan's main squad is fine, but there are too few people available to cope with the two-front battle, and in the summer transfer, AC Milan may need to "pay off" for the past five years.

In Gattuso's words, "You need to bring in four or five players. ”

Otherwise, even if 40 million or 50 million euros are thrown at one or two superstars, I am afraid that AC Milan's situation of being difficult to cope with multi-front operations will not be fundamentally changed.

The team's squad is not thick enough, and can only overdraft the main squad indefinitely, Kaka had rested for two weeks due to injury, but in the absence of available team personnel, Kaka can only continue to persevere.

In this game, Kaka did everything in his power to bring Milan back to the top level, and he succeeded for the most part, showing last season's Mr. Ballon d'Or and Milan in terms of spectacle and pressure.

"Milan Sport" also dedicated the highest score of 7.5 to Kaka, rating him the best in Milan, praising him for "having a super style, he did everything that the Ballon d'Or should do".

Kaka led the soul of Milan and had a clear advantage in the battle for Totti, the heart of the opposition. His personal form and desire to perform confirmed his pre-match definition.

Speaking before the game, Kaka said: "After the Champions Cup, when we all felt disappointed and the most exciting adventure was over, difficult days came, and the first few days were the hardest. As time goes by, we will gradually raise our heads, regain our spirits, and strive for other goals. ”

Kaka really worked hard in this game and scored a wonderful goal, which shows that Kaka has already objectively recognized the current situation of Milan and is ready to start the next era. It's a pity that he alone is not enough, not to mention that he still has a back injury, and Kaka needs more partners of a higher level.

In addition to Seedorf's empty shot, Milan's three threatening shots in the second half came from Kaka's feet, one scoring and two were miraculously saved by Doni.

With the goal in this game, Kaka has already scored his 10th league goal of the season and his 49th in Serie A, but the game was still lost, and of course the defeat to Roma was not a shame.

Kaka also said after the game: "Roma play the most advanced football in Italy. ”

Roma play the most advanced football in Italy, so what will Milan be like?

Kaka was trying, but it seemed that his heart was already a little tired.

He wants to play the savior, but this role is really not so easy to do.

In the 29th round of the league, it was another double match a week, although Deegan returned to the starting lineup in this game, but when the 90 minutes were over, the score between Fiorentina and Napoli was still 0:0, and even Digan, a mad beast, stopped his streak of goals.

Fiorentina were so tired that they couldn't create too many chances throughout the game, and were even suppressed by Napoli for a while.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Frei played well, saving two one-on-one shots from the opponent's core player Ravitch in the second half in a row, trying to keep the goal intact.

Fiorentina drew and Inter Milan won the game and the gap between the two teams at the top of the table returned to 14 points.

As fierce as the battle for the top spot was the battle for fourth place in the league, Juventus won away at Empoli thanks to two goals from Trezeguet and Piero.

AC Milan, who are in fifth place, lost again to Sampdoria at home, and after the game, Ancelotti's lineup was attacked by everyone, especially the team's backline, and Ancelotti actually discharged the combination of Serginho, Favali, Maldini and Cafu in this game, and the age of this backline combined can catch up with most of the opponent Sampdoria.

After the game, Ancelotti's explanation was that the team was unavailable, but was there really no one?

Could it be that Milan's backline is really embarrassed to the point of squeezing the surplus value of the old guys?

It is true that the personnel of AC Milan's backline are not rich, but in such a situation, it is strange that the former Croatian national team captain and AC Milan's backup defender Simic was "dispatched" by Ancelotti to play in the youth team.

A few hours before the AC Milan vs Sampdoria match, Simic appeared in the AC Milan youth team match against Udinese, according to the Italian Football Federation, in the U19 youth league, two overage players are allowed, which is allowed to provide a chance for the injured players in the first team to recover, play some low-level game arrangements, usually the club will not let the first-line players participate in such games, more often some first-line players who have just returned from injury are looking for form in such games.

But this time Simic did not have any problems, in the squad published on the official website of AC Milan, it was also specially marked which players were unable to play due to injury, and those were players who were not called-up, and as a result, Simic's name was placed in the "not called" column. The next day, he appeared on the field of the youth team.

It was a match between the teams currently ranked second and third in the division, and with Albertacci called up to Italy's Under-17s and Simic taking their place, it seemed that Simic was in a calm mood and did not show any irritation or joy.

Although his agent previously said that Simic still wanted to stay at AC Milan, it is hard to believe that now it is said that Tottenham Hotspur has offered a good salary and started to contact AC Milan, such a transfer opportunity, if it is missed, it may no longer be available.

Another unfortunate one was Dida, who was not on the bench against Roma and explained in Carlo Ancelotti's pre-match press conference: "Dida didn't become the third goalkeeper, he just had a cold at the time and he is in very good condition at the moment. ”

But when it came time to play Sampdoria, Dida still appeared in the stands wearing a leather jacket and a baseball cap, and this time there were no reporters to ask Ancelotti questions about him.

According to the figures released by the "Milan Sports Newspaper", Dida's annual salary of 4 million is tied for the second highest salary in AC Milan with Nesta, Pirlo and others, and among the goalkeepers in Serie A, it is second only to Buffon, but now it can be said that it is the end.

The instability within the team and the poor results of the game, it seems that Carlo Ancelotti has become accustomed to this, but what makes it difficult for him to accept is that Kaka was injured in this game.

In the previous games, including the Champions Cup with Arsenal, Kaka has always played with an injury, and in this contest with Sampdoria, Kaka's body can no longer support it.

When the game reached the 62nd minute of the second half, Kaka suddenly fell to the ground after a non-violent contact with the opposing defender Palombo, and then did not stand up, and then entered the game at a single price, and Kaka was directly taken to the hospital.

Judging from the results of the post-match examination, Kaka's back injury has no way to keep him going, and he will be out of action for at least two months, basically by the time Kaka returns, it will be the final game of the league.

At present, AC Milan is out of the Champions Cup, and the top four in the league have become their only goal, but there is still a Juventus on their head, leading them by as much as six points, at this critical moment, the only trump card in Ancelotti's hand fell, and it is no wonder that at the press conference after the game, Ancelotti will be disappointed and said: "Kaka's injury is a disaster for AC Milan, but we will not fall down here, we still have hope!" ”

Hopeful?

There's a ball!

After learning that Kaka was injured, Digan rushed directly from Naples to Milan to visit the hospital, before Digan had told Kaka to pay attention to his body, Milan is now a rotten vegetable field, it is not worth his hard work as a farmer, but Kaka can't listen to it at all.

In the hospital room, Degan saw Kaka, who didn't seem to be in a good mood, and Caroline, who was sitting next to her with a big belly, was also frowning.

Seeing that Deegan was coming, Kaka finally showed a smile: "Rod! ”

Deegan held his shoulders and looked at Kaka angrily: "I think you can get a good rest now!" ”

This season, from the warm-up game before the start of the season to this game against Sampdoria, Kaka only rested two games due to injury during this period, and the rest of the games were almost full 90 minutes, even the Iron Man couldn't hold on.

In Milan, Gattuso is recognized as a physical haode, but isn't he still going to rotate with Brocki and Ambrosini?

Degan is not known as a physical maniac, but at this time, he still can't hold on, and he needs to rest, let alone Kaka.

Is there really no one else to replace Kaka's place in Milan?

At least Digan knows that Gourcuff's ability is good, and Ancelotti can completely let the French young man share the burden of Kaka, but Ann Fat is too conservative, and he will use people until death and cripple.

In Milan, not only Kaka, but Simic Weishenme will be sent to play in the youth team, isn't it because of Ancelotti's conservatism and distrust?

Kaka knew that Deegan cared about him, and smiled: "Okay! Rod! You also know the situation in Milan right now, at this time, I can't escape, but now, it looks like there is really no way! ”

Although Kaka was smiling, Deegan could clearly detect the helplessness and frustration behind his smile, Kaka really tried his best, but unfortunately he really lacked some people around him who could help him.

Deegan is awesome. Force!

But when he was in Atalanta, if it weren't for Pazzini, Montolivo, Maxwell and others, it would have been a dream for him to win the league title.

It's the same in Florence, and Digan also needs more than enough help to bring Fiorentina to where they are now.

But Kaka is so lonely at AC Milan.

When he came out of the hospital, Digan was surrounded by a group of reporters, and without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, Digan said angrily: "Ancelotti must review his behavior, how Ricciardo was injured, I think you all know very well, Ancelotti's overdraft of Ricciardo led to this injury, this is the key, I don't want to evaluate his way of employing people, but from the perspective of a younger brother, I want to say that the bastard had better get out of it as soon as possible, Otherwise, sooner or later, AC Milan will be dragged into hell by this incompetent bastard of his! ”

Subsequently, AC Milan issued a statement at the first time, expressing its support for Ancelotti, and Ancelotti, who was scolded by Digan as a bloody dog, said in a subsequent interview: "He doesn't know anything at all!" ”

In the thirtieth round of the league, Fiorentina, who rarely had a week's rest, faced Lazio at home, and the relieved Digan was in full swing in this game, completing a hat-trick with an overhead kick and assisting Mutu to score a goal, and before the end, Hamsik scored a long-range shot to help the team complete the slaughter.

In the 31st round of the league, Fiorentina won 2-0 away against Udinese, although Digan did not score, but assisted Cavinaghi to score the first goal, and in the second half, Kompany scored the first goal after his comeback through a corner kick opportunity.

Then, it's the Champions League, and Fiorentina will travel to take on Chelsea, the two teams have never played each other before, but the atmosphere in this game has been a little unusual since the pre-game.
