Chapter 20 The Way Out of the Domestic League

In the second round of Serie A on September 13, AC Milan played Salernitana away, and only half of the main team was sent to face the weak team Zagallo in this game.

Goalkeeper: Abbiati

Defenders: Maldini, Southgate, Desailly, Cafu

Defenders: Lee Byrne, Gattuso

Midfielders: Pire, Zahovic, Camoranesi

Forward: Fowler

Lee Byrne and Gattuso formed the Suns midfield duo in this game, with Desailly returning to the back to partner Gareth Southgate in central defence. The old manager's arrangement can be regarded as the strongest defensive line of the team, especially the opponent's 1.89m center forward has almost no advantage in front of Desailly and Southgate.

After the team's squad changes this season, the three attacking midfielders have played more, and the two young players of Pire and Camoranesi know that opportunities will not come easily, and both of them have done their best in this game, and the two wings of Salernitana are painful.

But the coolest thing to play is Zahovic, although Li Bern is strong, but he is still a team player in his bones, and he is not willing to steal the limelight from his teammates, unless his teammates are not in good shape and need him, he will stand up and provoke the beam.

The game ended 3-0 with Fowler scoring twice and Zakhovic netting a goal from a through ball from Leeburn, giving the Rossoneri a smooth start to two wins in a row.

The scores of the other matches in this round are as follows:

Sampdoria 1:1 Perugia Lazio 1:0 Bari Venezia 0:0 Parma

Empoli 0:3 Rome, Bologna 1:3, Udinese, Juventus 1:0 Cagliari

Vicenza 2:3 Fiorentina Inter Milan 2:0 Piacenza

After two rounds, Roma, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Juventus remain in the top four, with Kluivert leading the scorer list with four goals, followed by Ronaldo, Fowler and Vieri with three goals, and Shevchenko, Trezeguet and Zahovic with two goals.

After a three-day break, AC Milan flew to France to take on the second opponent of the Champions League group stage – Ligue 1 powerhouse Monaco. This team also has a number of big players in the squad, and the forward line has played for AC Milan Marco Murphy. Simeone was in charge, with Giuli in midfield and Rieser and Sagnol on the flanks of the back line.

However, after the core of the midfield Gallardo was bought by Milan, Monaco did not find a suitable replacement player in the transfer market, resulting in the team's offensive organization in the midfield this season somewhat dysfunctional, and most of the time can only rely on Guri's personal ability to find opportunities.

The squad has enough depth on the bench this season to tackle Serie A with two squads, so Zagallo's plan is to win the first four rounds of the Champions League and then focus on the domestic league. In this game, Baggio, Gallardo, and Zahovic continued to lead the offensive line, plus Desailly and Lieborn, two strong midfielders, Monaco, who played throughout the game, doubted life.

The head coach thought to himself that he would go to Gallardo, as for it? This is nothing, the French international Barthes is depressed, the Hercules Cup he just got is not fragrant, and the butter player career has officially begun. Especially Leeborn's long-range heavy artillery, played 4 times in the whole game, Butters got rid of 4 times, in the final analysis, it was his own midfield defense that was not effective, giving Milan too many opportunities to shoot from a distance.

In the end, Baggio and Fowler picked up a follow-up shot, and in the second half, Cafu assisted Gallardo from the far end of the flank, and the Rossoneri won three goals away from home, and the Champions League group stage also completed a two-game winning streak after the league.

On the night of the game, the teenager received Peng Er's international call, and Li Boen wondered, why did this guy think of contacting him if he was fine? As a result, a phone call made the teenager cry and laugh.

"Alas!"

"Second brother, what's wrong with you? What are you sighing for?"

"Alas!"

After playing in a team for so long, Lee Byrne still knows his teammates very well, and this thing is definitely deliberate. So the young man said angrily: "Can you speak human words?" No, I'm going to hang up!"

"Huh! Don't hang up, don't hang up! Isn't that emotional?"

"You feel like a hammer! Say, what's the matter? You are definitely the master of the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I see that you either have something to ask me for help with, or you have something good to show off."

"Hehe, you still know me! I simply called my brother, and before I could speak, he asked me if I was in any trouble and said that he wanted to transfer money to me."

"Well, then you must have borrowed a donkey from the slope to rob the boss!"

"Hahaha! I can't say that, I'm also satisfying the boss's sense of superiority. Oh, it's not messy, I'm actually very depressed!"

Hearing that the other party suddenly became serious, the young man asked, "What are you so worried about?"

"I'm depressed that I've scored 3 goals this season, and the platform of the Chinese Super League can't accommodate me anymore, and I don't think I've lost a lot of money if I don't go abroad!"

Before Li Byrne could reply, Peng Er continued: "How many 25 years old can there be in life!? I'm still young, so it's not a problem to go on like this!"

"Hehe, if you can live to a hundred, then there are 4 25.Second child, I advise you not to panic, when you are 50, I will arrange a middle-aged and elderly league for you, and then your brother and Lao Fan will be almost 60, and the MVP will definitely be yours."

"Lee Byrne! Don't look at you handsome and golden! You can't pit me! When I'm 50 and you're only 43, you'll still be in the limelight when the time comes, and you'll really treat me as a second shortage!"

"Hahaha, second brother, I just found out today that you are really good at math!"

"Alas, I am not poor with you! Our country is indeed stronger than before, but it is also limited. I just think you're all out and I want to play in Europe. See what level you can go."

Peng Er's complaint also reminded the teenager that even if the domestic league is successful, the embarrassing situation of Asian football as a whole being weak cannot be changed in a short time. Even in their previous lives, Sakura and Big Stick were barely considered second-rate teams in the world after 2020. In this way, we should indeed find a way to build a bridge to the world for the Chinese league.

Thinking of this, Li Boen said seriously: "Second brother, you really got to the point, our domestic players should also have more opportunities to show themselves outside. Wait a minute, I've just got some clues. And you go abroad to play football, don't ask me about this! If you play well enough to attract scouts from foreign clubs, people will come to you. But this season, if you can win a Chinese footballer, a league golden boot, a golden ball or something, I guess it won't be far from this goal."

"That's fine! My old Peng is out!"

"! You're still old Peng, what is your brother?"

"Haha, my brother? Daddy!"
