Chapter 15 The double line is off to a good start
AC Milan's opponent in the first round of the 98/99 season was Bologna, Milan won one draw and one defeat in the two meetings last season, when the team drew 0:0 at home in the 13th round of the league, and Baggio scored twice in the 30th round of the second leg to help Bologna beat AC Milan.
With Baggio returning to the Rossoneri this season, Bologna's biggest name is Signori, who has just moved from Lazio. The former Italy international's peak was in the early 90s, and he won the Serie A Golden Boot two years in a row in 92,93, and his strength should not be underestimated. The 30-year-old Signori is no longer able to rely on speed to impact the opponent's goal as before, but the style of play is becoming more and more stable, Signori is a very well-rounded striker, he can score a blood-pumping Barty GOAL outside the penalty area, and he can also face the Juventus defense 1-4 like the alien Ronaldo, and free kicks are also his common offensive methods, in addition to the height of 171 limits his possibility of becoming an air tyrant, The former top scorer of Serie A is capable of almost anything.
In the previous life, Signori could still maintain an average of 12+ goals per game in the past 6 seasons after his transfer to Bologna, and as long as the defenders were a little relaxed, Signori would definitely be able to seize the opportunity to give the opponent a fatal blow. 188 goals in 344 league games in 13 seasons in Serie A, which means that Signoli can score a goal every two games, which is already very efficient.In the '94 World Cup, Italy was paired with Baggio in attack, and he finished 7th in the Serie A overall goals list.
It's a pity that after a season of running-in, the current AC Milan lineup is playing football beyond this era, and the understanding of the two sides in terms of technology and tactics is far apart, not to mention that Signori's once best partner has also appeared in the opponent's lineup.
Throughout the game, AC Milan pressed Bologna in all directions, and the shooting ratio between the two sides reached 9/4:3/1 in the first half, and the possession rate was even worse by 30 percentage points. Signori is not Ip Man after all, he can't play 10, so Bologna lost this game not unjust at all, clean 3:0, AC Milan won the first league win. Baggio scored 1 goal and 2 assists, Fowler scored 1 goal and Zahovic scored 1 goal off the bench.
In the other eight matches of the first round, the Purple Lily Fiorentina beat Empoli 2-0, with Serena and Shepchenko scoring one goal each.
Parma were held to a 0-0 draw by visiting Vicenza and it seemed that Zeman had not yet solved the team's attacking organisational problems.
Roma beat promoted Masa Ñitana 5-2 and scored a goal each against Batistuta and Del Vecchio, Kluivert scored his first hat-trick of the season in Serie A, and it is worth mentioning that the 22-year-old Prince Totti scored a hat-trick of assists.
Udinese drew 2-2 with Sampdoria.
Bari 1:0 Venice.
Cagliari drew 2-2 with Inter Milan, and the 27-year-old Muzzi met Ronaldo in this game, and both scored twice to provide fans with four wonderful goals.
Perugia lost 3:4 at home to defending champion Juventus, and the old lady's new signing Haji was in danger of savior, and 20 seconds before the end of the game, he scored from outside the penalty area to kill the opponent. In addition, Davis scored one goal and Vieri scored twice.
Lazio took on Piacenza away and the two sides ended up drawing 1:1. Nedved scored 1 goal from 40 yards.
At the end of the first round, the top four in the league are Roma, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Juventus, and Bari has three points. As a result, 10 teams were divided into winners and losers, and the remaining 8 teams ended the first round of matches in a draw.
Three days later, the first round of the Champions League will be played against AC Milan's Kaiserslautern from the Bundesliga. Kaiserslautern lost 1:2 to Hertha Berlin in the first round of the Bundesliga, in which Chinese player Yang Chen came off the bench to complete two shots on goal and hit the post with one shot.
Kaiserslautern's surprise Bundesliga title last season has boosted their spirits as if they have managed to join the ranks of Europe's giants. Unexpectedly, they were beaten in the first game of the new season, and this game at the San Siro Stadium against the traditional European giants AC Milan is also their chance to prove themselves again.
Kaiserslautern line-up for this game is as follows:
Goalkeeper Lineck
Defenders: Lacey, Ruth, Kadlek, Schjungberg
Midfielders: Koch, Sforza, Wagner, Booker
Forwards: Marshall, Risher
At present, there is no Ballack in the Kaiserslautern team, this guy first went to the Chinese league in this life, and then directly crossed over to join the Hornets Dortmund club, which is committed to rejuvenation and reorganization. The only stars of the club are former East German striker Marshall and former Inter Swiss midfielder Sforza.
In the previous season when Kaiserslautern created the myth, Marshall scored a staggering 21 goals in 24 league appearances, and 17 of those goals were crucial goals such as reversals or stunners, only to descend into mediocrity after that. I don't know if it's because the teams have strengthened their defense against him, or because the veteran has squandered his energy in a season. But in any case, this game will have to find a way for Milan to limit Marshall's play, and if you do this, the team will not be far from three points, after all, the Rossoneri's midfield is an existence that Kaiserslautern can't catch up with.
The value of the two teams is 293 million euros and 72 million euros, and AC Milan can buy 4 Kaiserslautern! Although the value of a player in Europe does not necessarily determine the direction of a match, this one at the San Siro is clearly not among them.
In the 12th minute of the first half, Lee Bern scored his first goal in the Champions League. Fowler's shot from inside the box was cleared out of the box by the onrushing goalkeeper and Lee Berne, who was cut in from behind, opened the scoring with a deft lob from the back.
AC Milan came back 11 minutes later, Camoranesi crossed low from the bottom line, and Pire flanked it at the back post to score.
After that, Milan had another chance to score from a corner, but Fowler's subconscious shot grazed the far post and rolled off the bottom line in the scramble. Kaiserslautern went into the break with two goals down.
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Fowler finally completed the scoring after receiving a through ball from Baggio, at which point Kaiserslautern did not act like a German team at all, and had basically surrendered.
Zagallo replaced Baggio, Desailly and Maldini, after all, the veteran who turned over 30 years old will continue to play in the domestic league after three days.
AC Milan are now in a healthy competitive atmosphere, substitutes are often on the pitch to play beyond the norm, this time it was left-back Ziger who scored against his hometown team, the heavy gunner was not at all ruthless, in the 39th minute of the second half, the left side cut inside in disguise and then the outside of the instep burst into the corner of the ball.
It is gratifying to congratulate Milan on their success in both the league and the Champions League.
