Chapter 231: Boys Should Protect Themselves
Alessandro Matri, known as Ma Dayan.
With long hair and fluttering hair, he is quite handsome and has big eyes, hence the name.
But alas, that's his greatest strength.
A traditional Italian striker, Matri has only had a handful of one or two highlights in his long Serie A career β the first two years.
He was actually a Milan academy and entered the AC Milan academy at the age of 12 and stayed until he was 20 years old.
During this time, he made just one appearance for Milan's first team before being loaned out until he was sold to Cagliari.
It was here that he had a good performance, and was finally bought by Juventus, and was taken in by Allegri this season, which can be regarded as a wanderer's homecoming.
But he began to swoop down again, scoring just one goal in 15 appearances for Milan......
All in all, it's a pretty average player.
And it is such a player who is now going to come on the pitch to replace Mane, who is currently the biggest threat to Hamburg in the Milan team.
But Allegri has his point.
"This Mane, asked him to fight for the top in the penalty area, but he retreated to the midfield to get the ball and break through, there is no tactical discipline at all!"
"It's because of his presence that my cross tactics are not reflected and have no effect!"
"This kind of Pan Yi's old favorite general is really disagreeable. I have to take him down now, or who else in Milan will listen to me in the future? β
"It's still my Matri, obedient and strong enough to head the ball. Go up and help me score! β
So, Allegri waved the flag, Mane went down, and Matri went up.
As a result, the pressure on Hamburg's ribs was suddenly relieved, and Salah was freed up to devote more to attacking.
This operation puzzled many media reporters and fans in the stands, and even Pan Yi on the bench of the away team couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Allegri, and his mouth moved, as if singing: "Thank you for listening to me, because you warm the four seasons......"
Pan Yi's mouth was certainly not singing at this time.
He's nibbling on his snacks again.
Now that Allegri has cut off his arm, Hamburg's offense has no worries, and Pan Yi no longer needs to run to the command area to direct the game, and he can sit in his seat and eat with peace of mind.
And the effect of Allegri's substitution this time is also immediate.
Abate picked up the ball on the flank and played a 45-degree ball directly to find Matri, who had just come on, but it was still Van Dijk who was snatched in front of him and headed it down to De Bruyne in front.
De Bruyne looked up and saw that the Milan players were returning to the defence.
But probably due to the decline in fitness, they don't have a fast return speed.
At the same time, he saw that Salah had begun to step forward.
Now that he has no defensive duties, he starts very quickly and is very resolute!
De Bruyne didn't let the ball stay at his feet for too long, but swung it hard at Salah in a volley-like manner.
The trajectory of the ball was exactly that of Desiglio, who was on the wing, and went straight to the route where Salah was running.
The route of Salah and the ball, when the two lines finally converged, Salah had already rushed into the Milan penalty area with the ball, forming a single knife!
In this area where he excels, Salah curled sideways with his left foot and the ball went just past Milan goalkeeper Ederson's outstretched fingertips for a sideways save and into the net.
0:3!!
"The ball went in again!"
"Salah again! In today's match against the old owner, the Egyptian star is on a killing spree! β
"Although he still chose not to celebrate, the goal was clearly another stab in the hearts of Milan fans."
"It hurts, it hurts! Today, Allegri's side were completely beaten through Hamburg. β
"This is definitely something that no one expected before the game started!"
"And what is even more unacceptable to Milan fans is that it is their favorite Pan Yi who brought Milan this painful loss!"
"Now we see that some Milan fans have started to leave the stadium early......"
In the footage of the live broadcast, many of the stands at the San Siro Stadium began to show a commotion.
Many fans wearing red and black jerseys or red and black scarves got up from their seats, drooped their heads, and walked out of the stadium in advance.
At this time, there were actually more than 20 minutes left before the end of the game.
But they are already desperate.
In fact, it is not just because of the 0:3 score.
It was the chaotic tactics of the Milan players on the pitch, the unthreatening attack that made them despair.
Even Hamburg's three goals seemed to be printed out of a mold, but Milan did not react in the slightest. (The second goal was scored in conjunction with a free-kick, but the process of creating a free-kick was the same as for the two goals.) οΌ
So the fans are using this way of leaving the stadium early to express their anger and dissatisfaction to the players on the field, to the coaches on the sidelines, and to the club executives in the chairman's stand!
And the fans who stayed in the stadium to continue watching the game were not idle.
They began to sing their own songs:
"Walk on, walk on, Allegri you hurry up and leave"
"You'll never work again~" (δΌ±will never have a job...... οΌ
The director then wisely cut the camera to Allegri, including Galliani in the stands.
They were all iron-blue.
Galliani was even more angry.
He never imagined that the team would lose so badly at home, in the first Champions League home.
When was the last time San Siro fans left the stadium early? Galliani couldn't even remember.
This pot is obviously to be carried by Allegri.
And judging by the reaction of the fans, almost all Milanese have little confidence in Allegri and no good feelings.
It was at this moment that Galliani had already begun to think of dismissing Allegri......
The camera returns to the field.
Pan Yi has already started a series of substitutions.
It's not that he's going to make any adjustments to the tactics on the pitch, it's about resting the players!
He still has to prepare for the Bundesliga in three days' time.
As a result, De Bruyne, Salah and Carvajal, who have started in the last two games, have all gone off.
And when Salah left the field, the entire San Siro stadium erupted in applause, dedicated to this former Milan child.
The applause lasted for a long time.
And this applause sounded like the whole audience was "snapping" him in the face......
He also sat back on the bench.
He has given up.
He also knew that he was going to lose this game.
But the Milan players on the pitch were still running.
Although they are now behind by a big score, they are professional players, they are players of Milan!
So as long as the game is still a minute, they have to stay on the field and fight to the end!
However, now the actions of the head coach on the sidelines have really broken their hearts.
The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?
This blow made them close to the limit of collapse, both mentally and physically, and also made them wilt like frosted eggplants on the field.
And Hamburg is obviously preparing to withdraw its troops.
Pan Yi understands human accidents, and he doesn't want to embarrass his old club too much in front of so many Milan fans.
Substitutions were a start, and Hamburg were also more likely to play the ball at the back and not rush to push the ball into the final third.
So the game became ugly.
The boos in the stadium shook the sky.
It is estimated that a third of the stands are empty, and the remaining two-thirds are booed at this moment.
This boo is not for Hamburg, but for the home team AC Milan, for Allegri!
The cheering is gone.
Anyone can feel the loss from the Milan fans at the scene.
Of course, not to mention the fans, even the group of journalists from all over the world in the media section were all disappointed.
They were expecting a pinnacle showdown between Needles and Maimans, but they didn't expect it to be a one-sided slaughter of Hamburg.
If Pan Yi hadn't stopped in time, the current score gap might have been even more exaggerated.
"I was so disappointed in this game, Milan disarmed so quickly!"
"Milan is worse than I thought! It's not like a team of the same grade. β
"I really didn't expect that. I thought that even if Hamburg could win, it wouldn't be so easy......"
The reporters chatted babbling.
Indeed, even the host of German TV 1, who was more optimistic about Hamburg before the game, would not have imagined that Hamburg's victory would come so easily.
And the Italian media, especially the local media in Milan, are reflecting.
At that time, when Pan Yi was still an assistant coach in Milan, he helped the team win the treble and then left Hamburg.
At that time, many media believed that the main factors in the team were the head coach and players, and without Pan Yi, Milan would still be the powerful Milan.
But in just one year, they were slapped in the face.
Milan lost all four in the following season, while Pan Yi took Hamburg to create the best record in recent years, entered the Champions League in one fell swoop, and also won the German Super Cup.
Then there are also people who say that this is because the Bundesliga is not as competitive as Serie A, and success in the Bundesliga does not mean anything, it still depends on the performance of the Champions League.
So ahead of tonight's direct confrontation between the two sides, Milan is very optimistic, including the media and fans.
They all felt that despite Pan Yi leading the team, Milan was still able to easily win the opponent.
But now?
It's 0:3 already!
Where is Pan Yi leading the team to play football, this is a solid lesson to the Milanese!
This is a vivid demonstration of advanced techniques and tactics!
It's a pity that "students" like Allegri probably haven't been able to study well...... Otherwise, it wouldn't be what it is today.
β¦β¦
When the referee finally blew the final whistle, the San Siro stadium burst into applause again.
At first, it was very sparse, but gradually, more and more fans stood up and applauded, and the applause became louder and more enthusiastic.
More and more fans stood up in the stands, and in the end, all the remaining 50,000 or 60,000 fans in the stadium stood up.
The whole stadium burst into applause.
Those who don't know think AC Milan has won.
But in fact, on the big screen above the stands, it was the words of AC Milan 0:3 Hamburg.
In such a big defeat at home, the Milan fans gave applause to Hamburg, who performed better, to Pan Yi, who was strategizing in the game, and to the Milan veterans who performed well in the game.
But in the ears of Milan's coaches and players, such applause is very harsh.
It's a shame!
It's not just the players who pull their hips, it's the management and the coaching staff who pull their hips as well.
Allegri and his team must be held accountable for this humiliating match!
That's the extra meaning of the applause of the San Siro!
Tens of thousands of fans at the scene expressed their feelings with applause, and countless Milan fans watched the aggrieved game in front of the TV.
They vented their anger online:
"Allegri is out of class! I don't want to see that embarrassing face on the field anymore! β
"It's only going to rush and cross, it's better to play a 505 big circle tactic, there's no use for the coach, hurry up and get out of class!"
"The Football Association is disbanded! I'm sorry to go to the wrong set. β
"I would like to thank Pan Yi for bringing the hamburger to wake up Milan completely. We really aren't a strong team anymore! β
"I haven't been so sad in a long time. Having lost both arms, I couldn't help but cry at home after watching the game! β
"Me too. I just opened the window and roared, why am I a! If I weren't dumb, I could have scolded Allegri for a week! β
"You have enough for the two upstairs. I'm numb anyway. I had just had my amputation, and I had just jumped up and cheered for Salah's goal! β
ββ¦β¦β
In the current TV broadcast footage, Pan Yi is already leading all the players and coaches to greet the Hamburg fans who have come from afar.
As a fan in his previous life, Pan Yi knew that it was not easy for fans, and he also knew that the die-hard fans who followed the team at all times were an important asset of the club.
So every time an away game wins or loses, Pan Yi will remind the players to express their gratitude to his fans.
Of course, in this process, Milan fans from other stands at the San Siro Stadium continued to applaud Pan Yi.
In fact, Pan Yi's mood is also strange now.
obviously won the game, but still won such an important Champions League game, but Pan Yi had no way to show more joy.
Today, as the head coach of the away team, he led the team to stab the old owner who he had invested in his feelings three times, and then he has been supported and loved by the fans of the home team.
The same goes for the post-match handshake with Allegri.
Unlike before the game, there was no more talk between them this time, after all, Allegri must be in a bad mood now, and his expression was slightly embarrassed when facing Pan Yi.
And when Pan Yi was about to return to the players' tunnel to go to the locker room, he unexpectedly received applause and cheers, and he also waved to them.
Then, he heard a voice that seemed familiar: "Pan Yi! Pan Yi! Look here! β
When Pan Yi looked up, he really found a familiar figure: Valentina!
Well, that's reasonable.
Milan is playing at home, and as the head coach's own daughter, it is indeed normal to watch the game in the first row of the scene.
Pan Yi was a little hesitant to go over and talk a few words.
Is Allegri still watching?
Just beat the old father flat, and now he wants to hook up with other people's daughters, is it too much?
But Valentina shouted even more urgently: "Hurry up! Why don't you come? I have something important to tell you! β
"Oh." Pan Yi could only respond and walked under the stands.
Valentina bent down, not caring at all about what might be on her chest being seen by Pan Yi.
And Pan Yi could only focus on Valentina's mouth and listen to what she had to say.
"In a week, it's my birthday!" Valentina said.
"Oh?"
Valentina's Birthday ...... Today is September 18th, and in another week, it will be around September 24th and 25th.
"Happy birthday." Pan Yi didn't know what to do, but he still congratulated her.
"No sincerity at all......," Valentina muttered, "you're going to come to Milan to celebrate my birthday!" β
"Ah, this ......," Pan Yi scratched his head, "but at that time I should have been preparing for the second round of the German Cup...... I'm very busy, how can I come to Milan! β
He's all about the team's schedule, training plans, and so on, and he can't really fit anything more.
"You're not available? It doesn't matter, otherwise, I'll go to Hamburg! Valentina laughed again.
"Don't be so troublesome, can't I prepare a gift for you in advance today......" Pan Yi suddenly thought of something, and said, "Listen to your father, are you going to go to college in Hamburg?" It can't be for me, right? β
"What do you say?" Valentina snorted.
"There's no need!" Pan Yi said helplessly, "Besides, how do you know that I will stay in Hamburg all the time?" β
"Uh...... I don't seem to think about that. Let's talk about it then," Valentina glared again suddenly, "why did you take the topic away again?" Back to celebrating my birthday! β
"This ...... Why do you have to be with you? β
"Humph! Didn't you always think I was too young? Valentina smiled, "And after this birthday, I will turn eighteen!" Other words...... I've got what you need for an adult girlfriend! β
Pan Yi's eyes widened.
He'd forgotten there was such a thing!
He was just talking casually.
Let's not talk about whether 18 years old is considered an adult in a place like Italy, or whether they care whether they are adults or not, where is Valentina's size?
It's just too big!
But what now? Looking at Valentina's fascinated eyes, I feel that if I really accompany her for her birthday, I may be done that night!
It doesn't matter if she does it, that is, sacrificing a little thing.
But the problem is that now he beat her dad so embarrassingly today, maybe her dad will be out of class, and unemployment is imminent!
At this time, if she does her daughter again, will she be dealt with by the angry Ah Yan in the end?
After all, judging from Allegri's arrangement today, Ah Yan really feels a little lost and crazy, and there is no reason to talk about it with a madman!
It's a risk.
So, Pan Yi settled down and said to Valentina: "Your birthday is definitely over." But to live the specifics, we still have to study how to live. After all, its way of passing is related to what its final way of life is, and it will also become a good birthday around its way of passing......"
Valentina was hearing in a fog, and Pan Yi's footsteps began to move towards the player's tunnel, and then jumped to a corner that Valentina couldn't see with an arrow step, and finally roared:
"Happy birthday to you!"
Then pull your legs and run to the away team's dressing room!
Survive this catastrophe first!
Boys are outside, but they still have to protect themselves.
β¦β¦
The next day, the whole European football world was boiling over the result of this match.
Even the most daring predictors could not have predicted that AC Milan, one of the top giants who have won eight Champions League titles, would lose 0:3 at home to Hamburg at San Siro.
It's jaw-dropping.
Sport newspaper said it was a night of shame for AC Milan, even more so than the original Istanbul night.
They also slammed Allegri for his poor performance on the night.
"Allegri needs to rethink his tactical design and on-the-spot command, and in front of his Milan, Pan Yi's Hamburg is like a team from outside the galaxy, and they have dealt a dimensionality reduction blow to Milan."
"It was a humiliating defeat and it was a game that was not at all a level. This is unacceptable for AC Milan, which has a glorious history. β
They also pointed out that Allegri also needs to rethink his team-building strategy.
"Salah, Van Dijk and others, who were introduced by Pan Yi during the Milan period and played as the main players in the treble season, did not get the opportunity to play last season, and as soon as they returned to Pan Yi's account, they immediately became vigorous, which has to cause us to think deeply."
"The disparity in performance in this game also shows that there are many players in the Milan squad who do not have the quality to play for Milan, but they are favored by Allegri."
"Don't use Milan's recent financial woes as an excuse, after all, don't use Salah and others, Allegri has been doing this since last season!"
Of course, it's not just Milan Sport, it's not just Italian newspapers.
Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom...... All the mainstream sports media believe that Pan Yi has played an advanced tactic with his hamburger, completely turning Milan into an underdog.
Only the Sun's report was fresh and refined, which can be described as a mudslide in the news world.
In their opinion, it was a complete match-fixing!
From the cordial conversation between Pan Yi and Allegri and his daughter Valentina after the game, it can be guessed that the head coaches of these two teams must have made some dirty PY deal in private.
And this deal is likely to be related to Valentina, who watched the game live.
"Why was Milan beaten by Hamburg? Why does Allegri continue to do this trick? Is this a loss of humanity or a loss of morality? This newspaper will continue to pay close attention to the progress of the incident......"
