After withstanding AC Milan's three-board axe, Fiorentina's offensive gradually picked up again, although Costacuta's appearance awakened the fighting spirit of Milan players in a short period of time, but when they couldn't attack for a long time, this momentum gradually dissipated.

Carlo Ancelotti sat in the dugout, his mind was also in chaos, and although he didn't say it when he was replaced by Costacuta, everyone knew that he was going to give up the game.

As for Champions League qualification, Carlo Ancelotti believes that the team has a way to solve it, with the examples of Real Madrid and Liverpool in front of them, UEFA will not let AC Milan, the defending champion of the Champions League, be absent.

As the minutes ticked by, the game was coming to an end, and the stands at the San Siro were quiet, and the fans had nothing to think about the game, and the reason why they had not left the stadium early was just for the sake of the upcoming farewell of Costacuta.

Of course, there is Albertini, although Albertini is now wearing the purple and gold shirt of Fiorentina, but they all know that Albertini's heart has always been at AC Milan.

For loyal ministers, the fans will always be tolerant.

In the 85th minute, Costacuta's chance came when Kaka burst into the box and was bumped by Kompany, and the referee awarded a penalty.

At this time, Pirlo, Seedorf and Kaka were all on the field, but when the football was put on the penalty spot, they all stepped away and Kostacuta was pushed to the front, and the penalty was given to him.

Costacuta didn't refuse, he knew the importance of the game, and although the game was nearing the end, if he could get the ball in, AC Milan would still have a chance.

Ancelotti was also rarely excited, he was a little anxious, some words stuck in his throat, hesitated a few times, but still swallowed back.

He didn't want Costacuta to take this crucial penalty, but at this time, no matter how hard-hearted he was, he couldn't say it.

Run, kick, shoot!

Overnight!

Costacuta, who has only scored two goals for Milan in his career, calmly kicked the goal into the goal of Frei's handle.

The originally quiet stands suddenly became boiling, and people were cheering, they were both for Kos? Costacuta, also for the team, they see hope again.

As long as Milan can get a draw at home, they will qualify for next season's Champions League.

Unfortunately, their hopes lasted only two minutes, as Deegan received Abate's cross from inside the box and headed home against Nesta.

It was the cooperation between the two former Milan players that completely killed AC Milan's hopes of a comeback.

When Deegan scored, Costa Kuta stood aside and saw the goal penetrated for the third time, and his face was full of disappointment.

As the game drew to a close, Fiorentina was still attacking, the football was passing back and forth at the feet of the Fiorentina players, and although the Milan players were also fighting, the momentum on them looked more like they were dealing with errands.

Albertini's through ball was passed directly to the feet of Degan, who turned the ball and was about to break forward, when suddenly a leg flew in front of him, Degan hesitated for a moment and was about to move, but when he saw the person clearly, he deliberately exposed a flaw, and the football was directly removed from the sideline.

Immediately after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the San Siro Stadium, which had been quiet for nearly half an hour, suddenly burst into thunder, and people were chanting a person's name.

Costacuta!

Deegan looked at old Billy who was standing up beside him, supporting his body, and suddenly smiled: "Very wonderful tackle!" ”

Costa Kuta was stunned for a moment, looked at Degan with a strange look, and his face was a little depressed: "Don't lie in front of me, I know you can hide just now, weishenme wants to deliberately let me, are you pitying me this old guy?" ”

With Costacuta's many years of experience on the field, how could he not see that Deegan was deliberately giving him a decent ending, but as a player, his pride did not allow him to accept such a handout.

Although he was seen through, Di Gan didn't care: "I don't have the habit of pitying others, it's just that I also feel tired, I think I should say congratulations, you have a very brilliant career, I am envious, and even a little jealous!" ”

Deegan is indeed jealous that being able to play for the same team throughout his two-decade career is not just a symbol of loyalty, it represents much more than a definition of loyalty.

Seeing that Deegan turned around to leave, Costa Kuta lowered his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Anyway, I still want you xiexie!" ”

By this time, the fans in the San Siro stands were already on their feet, cheering, clapping and chanting the name of Costacuta.

When Costa Couta walked in and looked around and saw the entire San Siro applauding and cheering for him, he realized that it was the right time for him to leave. His eyes were intertwined with the smiles of Carlo Ancelotti and Tassotti in the dugout, and the cheers of Maldini on the sidelines clearly rang in his ears.

That's his old friend, when he entered the first team, the two of them have been fighting side by side, after so many years, they have experienced glory and lows together, and now it's time to say zaijian.

Costa Curta looked at Albertini again, who was also his old friend, and when Albertini left, he also felt very sorry, but it can't be helped, this is professional football.

"Billy!" Albertini walked up to Costacuta and offered to extend his hand.

Costacuta smiled, his hand clasped tightly with Albertini: "Demi! Congratulations, it's a great victory! ”

After a few words of greeting with Albertini, Costacuta walked to the sidelines, applauded the fans around him, and then looked at the teammates who were crowding over, and when he saw Grimi, Borriello, Bonella, Gourcuff and other young people in their 20s, the smiles of Basten, Gullit, Baresi and Sacchi came to his mind.

It was an era of Milan, an era of Italian football, and now the old Billy is going to leave silently with the memories and voice of that era.

The only thing that can stay is a simple sentence, as an explanation: "I really can't run anymore." ”

Maldini said it well, every time a player like Costacuta retires, he feels a piece of his soul and flesh missing, and why don't fans feel that way?

Fortunately, there was more happiness than sadness, and the San Siro of this night, although they suffered a defeat, but because of the Costa Cuta, because of Albertini, a little tear has long been drowned in the sea of joy.

Although he lost the game, Costacuta has no regrets about being able to say Zaijian to his career with an official match, and he is even more pleased that the fans have given him courtesy.

This farewell battle, the climax came three times, Costa Curta turned Maldini's captain's armband, walked into the field for the first time, his shirt has a capital "M" in the upper right corner of the chest, three meanings, the first letter of his mother's name Margherita, the first letter of his wife's name Martina, and the first letter of his team's Milan.

The game also came to Costa Cuta's family and his wife Martina. Colombari sat in the stands with their son Aguile in his arms, wearing the Milan red and black jersey with his name Achille written on the back.

The second climax came when he scored the third goal of his 27-year career, Billy, who was not a penalty taker, naturally walked up to 12 yards in front of the goal, and pushed the middle with his right foot to the left.

Now that the game was over, all the Milan players changed into the number 5 Milan jersey with Costacuta's name on it, and entered the stadium to celebrate, setting off the third climax of this farewell match, the teammates worked together to throw the old Billy into the air, and the star named Billy entered the history of Milan players.

Immediately afterwards, the management of the Milan club also walked into the stadium and hugged Costacuta to celebrate, when he received the hand from Galliani, Costacuta, who has always been very calm, couldn't help but have sour eyes, and after calming down for a while, he began to say quietly: "It was a beautiful day, thank you to the club, my teammates and my family." It's an honour to be part of Milan and it's so deeply connected, and I love the feeling of being part of it. ”

It can be said that Alessandro. Costacuta is definitely the epitome of Italian football's defensive culture, and his illustrious career almost coincided with Berlusconi's reign at Milan, witnessing the establishment, decline and revival of the Milanese dynasty in every detail of the last 20 years.

In addition to a season loan at Monza in the 86/87 season, Alessandro Alessandro. The remainder of Costacuta's football life was dedicated to Milan, and he is one of the symbols of Milan's spirit of loyalty.

As a centre-back, Alessandro. Costacuta's physical condition is very ordinary, and his turning speed has been criticized for many years, and in the face of various types of forwards, Costacuta has purely relied on superb defensive skills to maintain a high standard for a long time. It can be said that Costacuta itself is a textbook of defensive jishu, condensing the defensive awareness accumulated in Italian football for decades.

The golden years of Costacuta's career were centred on the Milan dynasty started by Sacchi and Capello, and his defence with Baresi, Maldini and Tasotti was not only invincible at club level, but also unbreakable for the national team, during which Costa Curta won almost every trophy.

However, since the 1994 Toyota Cup, Costacuta began to decline, in the game against Sarsfield, Costacuta first fouled the opponent to give a penalty, and then the team conceded another goal due to a mistake in the return pass, and received a red card before the end of the game was sent off, and Milan, who lost 0:2, missed the Toyota Cup for the second year in a row.

With the retirement of Baresi and a number of other veterans, Costacuta fell into a trough with Milan, and his lack of leadership was constantly blamed for his mistakes, and his belief in being loyal to Milan never changed.

At the end of the 01/02 season, Costacuta, whose contract expired, announced the end of his 17-year career. Just as he was preparing to go to the MLS to pan for gold, the Milan club recalled the 36-year-old Costa Kuta at the end of August to reassure the team's defense ahead of Nesta's transfer.

The love affair with the sexy actress Colombari gave Costa Kuta a "second spring", and he played a good role as a substitute with peace of mind and enjoyed the joy of his career.

Whenever Nesta or Maldini is out injured, Costa Kuta always stepped up and played with all his heart. In the 2003 Toyota Cup, Costacuta replaced the injured Nesta and partnered Maldini, and his near-perfect performance washed away the shame of 10 years ago, but unfortunately Costacuta missed the penalty in the penalty shootout, and Milan lost to Boca Juniors, continuing the regret of the Toyota Cup.

Costacuta is a miracle for AC Milan and even Italian football, in the 80s of the last century, he created the team's "reinforced concrete defence" with Baresi, Maldini, Tasotti and others, helping the Rossoneri to win all the titles of Serie A, Champions League, Toyota Cup, Coppa Italia and even the Super Cup.

Born in 1966, Costacuta seems to have been born Milanese and spent the rest of his time at the San Siro after joining Milan in 1985/86, with the exception of a brief loan spell at Monza in 1986.

In 1986/87, he made his senior cup debut for AC Milan and made his first league game on 25 October 1987, almost 20 years after that.

Over the course of 20 years, Costa Curta made 455 appearances in Serie A, 73 in the Coppa Italia, six in the Italian Super Cup and 116 European appearances.

Now at the age of 41, Costacuta is the perfect "living fossil" in Serie A. As of now, Costa Curta has won almost every title it can achieve, including 7 Serie A titles, 5 Champions Leagues, 5 UEFA Super Cups, 5 Italian Super Cups, 1 Coppa Italia and 2 Toyota Cups.

Although he is no longer a first-team mainstay, Costa Kuta is more of a sparring partner, but whenever he has the opportunity to appear on the pitch in a Milan shirt, he will always show people that he is the best Billy.

'I'm looking forward to the best of my life and I was sad when I thought it was my Zuihou game at the San Siro, but it's something I'm proud of because I've dedicated my career to this great team.

The 41-year-old Costacuta is arguably one of the oldest active players in Shijie football, in fact, he had the idea of retiring two years ago, but AC Milan's vice-president Galliani has repeatedly retained, and Costacuta himself has a desire to take his son to the San Siro Stadium when he retires, saying goodbye to the fans, and this desire inspires him to always sign a "Zuihou" contract for another year after each season. After all, time has not been forgiving, and in the Coppa Italia against Roma, Costa Curta had a terrible performance, two mistakes that led to two goals conceded, and he was substituted at half-time, which ultimately forced him to retire.

Costacuta is now a living fossil that holds several records: he has served the Rossoneri for almost 24 years so far, a unique time in Milan's 100-year history; In the Champions League against AEK Athens on 21 November last year, he set the record for the oldest player to play in the Champions League.

In addition to his illustrious club career, Costacuta made 59 appearances for the Italian national team between 1991 and 1998, finishing runners-up in the 1994 Shijie Cup.

With the retirement of Costacuta, Maldini is the only player who created the glory of the Milan dynasty in the past. This also means that the AC Milan back line is starting to renew, after all, the 39-year-old Maldini, the 41-year-old Costacuta, and the 36-year-old Cafu are no longer up to the responsibility of the Milan defense.

A defeat, a start for Zuihou, Costa Curta said goodbye with a smile, Gattuso crouched down in front of him, hugging Uncle Billy's waist, the beast of the Milan midfielder, became as fragile as a child. Yes, there is always sadness in saying that Zaijian, although he will stay, like Tassotti.

Since 1987, Costacuta has witnessed the glory of the dynasty with Milan, but also has its own losses and hesitations, especially with the retirement of Baresi, Uncle Billy, who has been in declining form, has endured countless accusations, and once the once impregnable line of defense has collapsed, people have poured their dissatisfaction on him, a man accused of lacking leadership ability.

And his steadiness and tenacity have long been forgotten, perhaps everyone has forgotten that he used to have a part of the steel defense, after all, he is not a flamboyant man.

If Baresi's general style comes from the invincible Dream Dynasty, then Maldini's kingly spirit may be inclusive of innate generosity, and by their side, Costacuta, like Tassotti, is willing to hide in the shadows and calmly complete his mission.

Maybe when others talk about it, they won't praise their merits, but no one can deny their perseverance, and a player like Costa Curta, who is still riding on the pitch at the age of 41, deserves respect no matter what.

Unlike the team's metaphor for Milan, Uncle Billy is still unabandoned, always waiting for Nalo. Perhaps, in the predicament, people blame him for not being able to reverse the decline, maybe when the victory comes, people only see the light of the horse team, but the ebb and flow of the tide can not shake the loyalty of Costacuta, helplessness and gloom are not as good as the heartache of betraying Milan, so silently, as long as following Milan is enough, even if Zuihou is on the way, he still plays the role of a substitute with peace of mind.

Milan has a tradition of loyalty, just like the inheritance between Cesar and Paulo, when the passion in Ancelotti's conservatism, gradually flattened, only when you see Maldini and Costacuta, such a loyal figure, can you feel that Milan's blood is still there, that warm feeling is still there, and it is still the most different Milan.

After hanging up his boots, Costacuta will continue his days in Nelo with Tasotti as a Milan coach, believing that he will become an excellent coach, because his empathy will make every player respect and like, and his calmness, his pampering and humiliation, will make him and Milan more atmospheric, a team with the goal of the championship, maybe need such a little calm and restrained.

While saddened by the departure of Costacuta, Milan fans did not forget Albertini, the same warrior who was indebted to him in the hearts of everyone in Milan compared to Costacuta.

Now that it's all over, there's no need to go into the past, and with Maldini, Costacuta walked towards Albertini.

Once again, the fans in the stands applauded a player who played for another team and retired at the San Siro to be treated like this, and no one else on the planet could do it but Albertini.

Digan and other Fiorentina players did not leave immediately because of Albertini's relationship, but gathered on the sidelines and watched Albertini take the microphone.

Unlike Costacuta, who is accustomed to silence, Albertini's feelings are much richer, thinking of the glory and frustration of AC Milan, imagining the past few years of drifting, every time he meets AC Milan, the pain in his heart, Albertini can't help but shed heroic tears.

"Thank you very much, I am proud to have played for this great club, although for some reason I left the San Siro since the summer of 2002, but my heart has always been with this great club, now it is time to really say zaijian, every day in Milan I will be deeply missed, I will not resent anyone, in the days of Milan, everyone I met deserves my gratitude, once again say thank you, Xiexie, you've been with me for so many years! ”

After all, he is no longer a Milan player, Albertini's farewell speech was very concise, and then the big screen on the scene showed the wonderful performances of Costacuta and Albertini during his time at Milan.

When all this was going on, Fiorentina coach Prandelli and Digan came together, they are two outsiders, today's farewell ceremony, and they have nothing to do with it, if there is a relationship, the two of them are Albertini's family and friends.

While the Milanese were sad about parting, the two of them were exceptionally calm, the season was over, and for Fiorentina, who had suffered a heavy blow at the beginning of the season, their season was considered a success, and now that everything is over, they will inevitably face a new problem.

Not what to do next season!

It's a question of Champions League qualification, although Fiorentina won this game, but if they really think that AC Milan has resigned themselves to their fate, as the defending champions of the Champions League, they will be willing to participate in the UEFA Cup next season, then they are too naïve.

Silvio Berlusconi has never been a rule-by-the-rules, and even the Ranieri family was not spared when the phone gate time broke out, but he survived and not only managed to keep AC Milan in Serie A, but also retained their Champions League qualification.

Who knows, this time Berlusconi will come to such a hand again, if we don't let us participate in the Champions League, we won't broadcast Serie A, this kind of skinless and faceless thing, Berlusconi will definitely do it.

Moreover, this matter is not only about the interests of AC Milan, but also about the face of UEFA, even the defending champions cannot participate in the Champions League next season, what does this mean, doesn't it mean that the level of the Champions League is not as high as Serie A, so what does the Champions League mean.

On the one hand, it is the boss of European football, on the other hand, it is the European giants, their interests and face are in danger, whose interests will be sacrificed at that time, in the final analysis, the unlucky is not Fiorentina?

"Do you think that's going to happen?" Prandelli couldn't help but be a little worried.

Digan said with a smile: "Berlusconi can do everything, when the time comes, we will definitely prevent him from tearing his face, this matter, it is better for the coach to go and inform Mr. de la Valle, so as not to be caught off guard and suffer the loss of that old fox!" ”

"What do you think we should do?"

Digan looked at Costa Curta and Albertini, who were circling the stadium to greet the Milan fans: "Fiorentina can't do without the Champions League, we don't do Zaragoza, we want to do Everton." ”

At the beginning, Real Madrid also won the Champions League, and suddenly found that the league was over, and they were only fifth, so they began to put pressure on the Spanish Football Association, and the Spanish Football Association could not withstand Real Madrid's public opinion offensive, so they could only go to Zaragoza to do work, but Zaragoza and a group of players worked hard for a year, and finally got the Champions League seat, which could only be snatched away by Real Madrid because of the overall situation.

Zaragoza admitted, but Everton didn't, after Liverpool killed AC Milan on the night of Istanbul, they also couldn't participate in the Champions League next season because the league ranking was too low, and the FA also thought about hoping that Everton could give up the qualification, but Everton people are tough and would rather withdraw from the Premier League than never let the Champions League qualify.

Although things have not officially started yet, in fact Florence is already about to make a choice.

However, according to Degan's temper, if he wants to make him bow his head, he is afraid of all difficulties.
