Chapter 54: The First Tough Battle in the Second Half of the Coming [Ask for the First Order Tonight!] 】
Nine wins in a row! Milan swept the Champions League shadow! 》
"The key person plays, Milan is in the next city!" 》
"Eleven-point gap, Napoli continues to catch up with AC Milan, Inter Milan falls behind"
"Serie A preview, the next round of six-point match, AC Milan vs. Napoli! 》
......
When Milan swept Chievo with a 4-0 victory, the wind of public opinion in Italy changed, and the other teams in Serie A who are still in the title race are also nervous.
Milan have not been affected by too many Champions League defeats and look more motivated to win the league title.
This is not good news for Napoli and Inter Milan, who are just hitting the 50-point mark at the moment.
Milan's nine consecutive league wins have directly broken through the 60-point mark in the league, and currently continues to dominate the Serie A table with an absolute dominance score of 63 points.
Napoli recently ushered in a wave of three consecutive league wins, temporarily ranked second in Serie A with 52 points, and once again overtook Inter Milan.
Therefore, in the next round of Serie A, the battle between Milan VS Napoli can also be seen as a "six-point battle" between the top two teams in Serie A.
If Napoli wins, the gap between them and Milan will be reduced to eight points, and their hopes will be greatly increased.
But if Napoli loses to Milan in direct conversations, the gap between the two teams will be further widened to as much as 14 points!
With 11 rounds of the league remaining, Milan will be close to five wins ahead of Napoli.
Even if Inter win the next league game, Milan can be as much as 13 points ahead of Inter if they win.
At that time, it can really be said to be a "dog crown".
Such a lead, coupled with Milan's already established and stable style of play, makes it more difficult to lose the title than to win it.
However, it is precisely because of such a "severe" form of points that Napoli now has no way out.
I also want to keep the suspense of winning the championship, and hope that Juventus and Inter Milan can succeed in sniping Milan one after another.
They will have to win in the next round of direct dialogue to break Milan's will to win the title first.
Otherwise, morale is really hard to say.
Milan can win against Napoli again, Juventus and Inter Milan again, and it will not be as difficult as the outside world expects.
Therefore, the next round of the league is basically Napoli's last chance to change its life this season.
Win, there is still hope for the title, they can wait for Milan to drop the chain.
Defeat, then there will be basically no suspense in Serie A this season, Milan's fault tolerance is too high, and Allegri's style of play is too stable and stable.
On the evening of February 20, after the 26th round of Serie A was played, almost all Serie A fans looked at a week later.
On the evening of February 28, it was placed at the San Siro, which will become the focus of all Italian football.
And Milan and Napoli, who are about to participate in this brutal battle, have also begun intense preparations.
In interviews with the media, fans of both teams expressed their absolute support for their beloved teams.
But in the eyes of neutral Italian fans, the rest of the Serie A games will be more interesting if Napoli win.
And under the influence of this wave of public opinion, the young players of Milanelori are more or less nervous.
Of course, except for Leon, who is still following Pirlo and practicing long passes, enriching his "arsenal" little by little.
He will still be worried that the results of the long pass and training are too slow, how can he still care about the opinions of the fans in the outside world.
"Take your time, it's good to make some progress every half season, the important thing is to stick to it, your short pass is already a lot better than when I first met you, the long pass will be a little more difficult, and you need to put more effort into it."
After another day of training sessions, Pirlo deliberately pulled Leon to appease him.
Li Ang could only nod his head in agreement, he couldn't say that his previous short pass improvement was because he drew Belleron's short pass talent fragment.
Now his long pass talent is only capped at 74, which is not much past the passing line, and he has just reached 72 ability.
Enough is enough, but there is not much room for improvement.
After thanking Pirlo again for his help during this time, Leon also temporarily put out the idea of speeding up the improvement of his long passing ability.
"Keep practicing ball control and short passes!"
With one less option to practice, it is easier for Li Ang to make up his mind to focus on the ball and short passes first.
Strength training is put after the daily technical exercises.
He has now strengthened to 83 and his strong ability value is enough, just keep training and improve slowly.
85 is his immediate goal, and he feels that he can engage in key special training in the summer offseason this year, and then break through in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, a motivation for additional training emerged in Li Ang's body, which was originally slightly tired.
Growing endlessly, krypton's liver is not stopped!
With full training and daily study, Li Ang finally rushed to the 85 ability mark for the short pass before the big battle with Napoli began!
When I got home, I looked at my real-time data panel with small numerical fluctuations, and in addition to steals and tackles, there was another ability value that exceeded 85.
Li Ang also fully realized what it means to be "happy with hard work".
More than half a season has passed, and he has really not been able to polish his short passing skills for a day.
He practiced more during the training camp, and he was also practicing more during the holidays.
Even when he was asked to rest by Mr. Karanka in Real Madrid before, he actually spent a lot of time pondering the video of Belleron's game when he returned home.
It's true that it's boring, it's really hard.
But now the great satisfaction and sense of accomplishment in my heart is also real.
After achieving the first small goal of the season, Leon directly used the last high-level physical recovery potion that he had left.
The muscle fatigue and muscle soreness caused by the hard training for days disappeared in an instant.
Feeling that his body was full of vitality and physical strength again, Li Ang also picked up the pen in good spirits and decisively crossed out the box of "February 26th" in the calendar on the table.
The big battle with Napoli has entered the countdown to the last two days, and Leon is fully prepared.
On 27 February, the in-form Leon performed very well in a training session.
While securing a starting position for himself, it also reassured the players and coaching staff in the Milan team in advance.
In the midfield, there is a state of Rio, who can play more solidly in the front and back lines, and Allegri has more confidence.
He can't wait to make the Neapolitans see reality.
Let them see who Italy belongs to this season!
