Chapter 57 The Champions League is out, and the two lines are fighting
"We won!! To hell with the Naples! Forza milan!!! ”
Boateng's genuine cheers after the game put smiles on the faces of all the Milan players.
They were physically exhausted, but they were still full of energy and were in the midst of the celebration.
Li Ang even received the "warm care" of his teammates one after another.
No way, his performance on both offensive and defensive ends today is too explosive!
The passing and shooting, especially the tackle at the end of the game, was too beautiful and unexpected.
Pato still thinks that Leon can give that ball over, it's just incredible.
And in the Milan team, perhaps only Pirlo really knows now, in fact, Leon already has the ability to send this kind of threatening pass.
It's not very stable, and the timing requirements are still relatively harsh.
But Leon's short passing skills have been practiced enough to make Pirlo comment "good".
In other words, Li Ang has the technical foundation, but he used too little in the past and was very unskilled, so now he still seems to have some "nerve knife".
When Li Ang can transform this "nerve knife" direct plugging technique into his regular skills, then the evaluation of Li Ang by the outside media may have to go to a higher level.
However, according to Pirlo's growth prediction of Leon, Leon may have to hone it for another season or two if he wants to master this kind of straight-plug skill in counterattacks.
After all, the gap between a technology from entry to mastery is much bigger than the layman thinks.
You can only grind slowly with a lot of competition and training time.
Resting on other young players, Pirlo could stretch that mastery to three or four seasons.
But Leon
Thinking of Li Ang, who usually feels uncomfortable without practice, Pirlo couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
This kid, one or two seasons, enough!
"After playing Napoli and then playing Inter, then we can wait to win the championship in advance!"
Pato threw himself on Leon's back and cheered for his teammates around him with great optimism.
The second match with Inter Milan this season is actually separated by two difficult opponents, Juventus and Palermo.
But at this moment, the Milan generals are full of confidence in their hearts.
Not to mention that he can win all the way, but at least Uncle Yu said before that "undefeated in the second half".
Milan have enough quality and confidence to do it at the moment.
Li Ang listened to the excited singing of the fans in his ears, and looked at the excited teammates in front of him, and finally swallowed the sentence "There is still a Champions League game" back into his stomach.
This will say that the Champions League is also a blockage for everyone.
In addition, he himself can only watch the game at home at that time, and he can't do anything else, so it's better not to mention this matter.
That night, Gattuso and Ambrosini, who was still recovering from injury, invited all members of the Milan first team to a private restaurant in the city to celebrate the achievement.
During the banquet, the bigwigs drank some wine, but Li Ang ordered a handful of freshly squeezed orange juice a little out of place.
However, his "self-consciousness" made the veterans nod their heads with satisfaction.
Looking at Pato, who had already hooked up with Da Boateng on the side, the bigwigs could only sigh and shake their heads again.
Ambrosini, the old captain of Milan, also made a good impression on Leon, treated people very kindly, and did not have much arrogance.
It's just that Maldini couldn't come that day, otherwise Li Ang would have to ask the horse team for an autograph, and by the way, he would ask for advice on how to complete the tackle and keep the ball more chicly.
Well, he's been coveting this defensive skill for a long time, and now he's only getting some experience with Nesta.
If you really want to talk about the chic defense, you have to look at the real big man Maldini in Milan.
However, in the conversation after the dinner, Li Ang also encountered a difficult thing.
Something he'd have to do sooner or later.
After the veteran captain Ambrosini asked Leon about his life in Milan, he bluntly asked Leon if he would like to transfer from Real Madrid to Milan completely.
To be honest, Leon was a little flustered at first.
But when he remembered the phone call Mu Shuai had given him some time ago, his mind gradually calmed down again.
In the end, Leon gave Ambrosini a slick answer: "I still have four years left on my contract with Real Madrid, and if Milan can negotiate with Real Madrid, then I don't have any problems".
Ambrosini was satisfied, maybe he was just asking casually, or maybe he was the "mouthpiece" of Milan's top management.
But for Leon, none of this matters.
The important thing is that Real Madrid's current manager is Jose Mourinho, and Mourinho is his boss, and that's enough.
Real Madrid will not be willing to talk to Milan about this transfer deal, because Leon believes that Mourinho will not agree.
As he left the dinner place, Leon subconsciously glanced back at the night view of Milan City.
It's actually pretty good here.
Whether it's the team, the fans, or the city.
It's all good.
However, it is not suitable after all.
The Milan dynasty that once met the ambitions of any young player is gone.
Leon turned his head and drove away.
Sailed to a place of residence far from the center of the city.
There was no hesitation.
There was no looking back.
"It's a pity"
※※※
On the morning of March 1, almost all of the sports newspaper pages in Italy were the handsome face of Leon who made the "mask-wearing" celebratory gesture.
Against Napoli, Leon became the brightest key figure on the pitch.
He was excellent at both ends of the pitch and eventually scored a pass to help Milan beat Napoli.
Leon brushed his face in front of all Italian fans in the most shocking way!
looks handsome, plays hard, don't look at the lack of goals, all of them are key goals!
Li Ang, who showed a tough performance, suddenly reaped another wave of popularity in Italy, which advocates defense.
And Milan didn't dare to delay any longer, so they directly approached Real Madrid to talk about Leon's contract buyout.
However, this aspect of the matter does not need to be worried about by Leon.
If there is an unexpected" change, Mendes will contact him.
As always, he chose to practice alone during his vacation.
Because after playing Juventus, the whole Milan team will embark on an away trip to London for the knockout round of the Champions League.
At that time, he will have two more days of rest, so there is no need to care about the physical exertion at this time.
As long as it is controlled a little, it will not affect the performance of the game against Juventus.
It's not that Leon underestimated the former overlord of Serie A.
But today's Juventus, whose strength is similar to Palermo or Genoa, ranks in the upper middle of Serie A.
A tough league opponent at best, but not too much of a threat to Milan.
Allegri is clearly not too afraid of Juventus.
Ahead of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-knockout tie against Tottenham, he fielded a rotation of players to start at the Olympic Stadium on the outskirts of Turin.
It was the temporary home stadium of Juventus before the opening of the new stadium, which could only accommodate 27,000 people in normal times.
For Juventus' large fan base, it's easy to fill the stadium on weekdays.
So Milan fans only got more than 3,000 away tickets this time.
In the slightly smaller stadium, the Juventus fans caused some problems for Milan with their loud cheers and home presence.
At least the Prince of Bicycles, who started today, is lost again.
I don't know if it's the crazy boos of the Juventus fans that make him a little weak, or if he really can't do anything about his compatriot Melo.
After dominating possession of the ball but failing to achieve anything at half-time, he was decisively replaced by Allegri at half-time.
Ibrahimovic, who came on the pitch to carry the offensive banner, and Cassano, who had been tortured by Robinho for 45 minutes, finally coordinated smoothly.
Milan also changed the situation in the first half when the attacking players played separately.
With Ibrahimovic organizing the attack in the frontcourt, Da Boateng and Cassano are becoming more and more active, and Leon has also got a few good opportunities to attack forward.
Finally, in the seventy-third minute of the second half, Ibrahimovic received a cross in front of Cassano's penalty area and shook off Barzagli, getting the best shot opportunity of the game for Milan!
Gianluigi Buffon was in excellent form today, having already saved six shots from the woodwork for Milan.
This time, he was still strong enough to block Ibrahimovic's low shot to the limit!
But in the face of the follow-up Cassano's follow-up shot, Buffon was also powerless, and could only watch Milan take the lead at their home stadium!
When there were only about 20 minutes left in the game, Milan broke the balance on the field, and the whole Juventus team suffered a serious morale blow.
They were expecting a draw at home, and they almost did it.
Seventy-three minutes!
was scored by Milan at the last moment, and the red-eyed Juventus players were naturally unwilling.
But Allegri wouldn't give them a chance.
Flamini, Cassano were removed and replaced with Big Boateng and Van Bommel.
After a decisive two-up and two-down substitution, Milan put on a back three, which can even be seen as a rigid formation of four backs.
Leon and Van Bommel were in the middle, and the two joined forces to seal the middle of the midfield, forcing Juve to cross from the side at the last moment, or play a long pass directly from the back.
But this kind of attacking efficiency is really too low, and Nesta and Thiago Silva, who are in good form, did not give Toni too many chances to steal points.
After grinding away Juve's last bit of attacking time, Milan finally got their wish and won another league thorn before the Champions League game!
The winning streak has not stopped, and Milan's dominance in Serie A has been further consolidated.
Napoli was demoralized by Milan and was forced to draw by Brescia in the last round, and the current point gap with Milan has been widened to 16 points!
Inter Milan and Milan, who have won two in a row recently, are still 13 points apart.
In other words, with the last ten rounds of the league remaining, even if Inter continue to bite Milan's tail to maintain a complete victory.
Milan only need to win six more league games to win the Serie A title this season!
After more than six years of absence, Milan is really only a stone's throw away from the Serie A championship trophy!
However, before the league sprint is actually launched, there is still a hurdle waiting for Milan to work hard to overcome.
On March 8, in addition to Leon, Milan's main first-team players once again followed Allegri on the Champions League journey.
This time, Milan has made more adequate preparations, whether it is on the defensive end or on the offensive end, the Milan players also have the psychological expectation of doing their best.
On the evening of March 9, the second leg of the Champions League one-eighth knockout round was rekindled.
Milan beat Tottenham Hotspur for the second time this season at White Hart Lane.
In the face of Tottenham, which has a fully contracted formation and is clear that it is to use defense to advance safely, Milan played very actively.
After all, in the absence of a way out, Allegri is no matter how conservative he is, and he can only focus on how to break through Tottenham's goal as soon as possible.
As a result, the fans of the two teams at the White Hart Lane Stadium witnessed a thrilling and exciting offensive and defensive battle.
Milan relied on Ibrahimovic to continue to attack.
Pato cut in from the ribs to get the ball in from Ibrahimovic, Cassano tried to run down the wing after Ibrahimovic attracted defenders, and Boateng frequently cut in from distance.
It can be said that all the attacking routines that Allegri can think of at this stage, and that the Milan players can use, have been used in tonight's big game.
But Tottenham defended too resolutely, and Michael Dawson played too well, and he stubbornly defended the goal at half-time.
In the second half, Milan continued to deploy their troops, replacing Pato with Inzaghi in the 52nd minute.
However, Tottenham also replaced Van der Vaart with Bale, and the intention of intimidating the Milan defense with counter-attacks was obvious.
Uncle Yi will make a difficulty, watching Bale continue to use speed on the side to wreak havoc on Gattuso, and finally missed the last opportunity to adjust in hesitation.
Milan, who sought stability too much, finally lost the courage to fight with Tottenham to stab each other.
In other words, Milan's current squad is indeed not suitable for speed and intensity with young teams.
A 0-0 win ended Milan's Champions League campaign this season.
However, most Milan fans are not only uncomfortable, but also relieved.
With the Champions League out of the way, Milan was finally able to put all their minds on the rest of the Serie A games and the Coppa Italia matches.
The three-line battle has become a two-line, not to mention that the task is easy, and Milan has also reached the final four of the Coppa Italia, and there are at most three cup games left to play.
If handled well, Milan won a domestic double in Italy this season, which can be regarded as a great success.
The Milan players, who were also relieved by the discomfort, also quickly adjusted their mentality.
After returning to Italy, he devoted himself to the preparation for the 29th round of the league against Bari.
At the moment, they have no time to pay attention to the state of their rivals Inter Milan.
They just want to play it safe now and win it one game at a time.
Win to the end and win the Serie A title they most want to regain!
