Chapter 8 The protagonist and the supporting role (two more ask for subscription!) )
The aftermath of Istanbul is still there.
It's only been a long time, and it will take a little longer for AC Milan to recover from that slump and psychological shadows.
Judging from the current situation of the warm-up game, the midfield as a whole is in a sluggish state.
Andrea Pirlo and Seedorf tend to hesitate when handling the ball.
A midfielder is still unable to play the ball decisively, which is even less enough for the support of the striker.
Andrea Pirlo is a great midfielder, but he's also human, and just over two months ago, he suffered such a humiliating defeat that hurt him very badly.
The whole is a state of lack of self-confidence.
Kaka was unable to get a pass in front of him, and he also needed to retreat, and Kaka's retreat was combined with the overall forward retreat.
The next step is to be suppressed!
AC Milan can't say that they are not capable enough, but they just don't play confidently.
This is AC Milan's second warm-up game.
In the first game, when they faced Deportivo La Liga in La Liga, Suker started the game.
With Suker's play-up in midfield, there were no problems.
The overall offense was very fluid.
But in this game, after Suker was on the bench, AC Milan's 'Istanbul Syndrome' began to appear.
The midfield was slow in pace and couldn't get out of the ball for a long time.
Kaka is powerless to support the task of organizing, promoting, and making the final pass.
It can often be seen that Kaka is running desperately, but the team as a whole is a little disjointed.
In this warm-up match, AC Milan still put on a 4-3-1-2 formation.
The midfield is sluggish, and Kaka, as a single forward midfielder, is naturally very passive.
In the 55th minute, Stuttgart's star Tomasson from the Bundesliga scored with a long-range shot, completely breaking through the AC Milan backline.
Carlo Ancelotti called an emergency halt.
"Suke!"
Ancelotti turned his head and shouted.
Su Ke immediately got up: "It's here!" ”
Suker walked all the way to Ancelotti, who put his arm around Suke's shoulders and said; "It's a mess in the pitch right now, we need to stabilise, you drop back to help the team stabilize the rhythm of the midfield, and at the same time look for opportunities to pass the ball to Filippo and you can cut forward appropriately!"
Suker turned his head to look at Ancelotti: "So, I'm going to replace Shepchenko?" ”
Ancelotti nodded heavily.
Shepchenko is certainly AC Milan's current striker, and he is also one of the most iconic players in the entire Serie A.
But after the Istanbul night drama and transfer turmoil, relations between the two sides have cooled rapidly.
Although not to the point of mutual hatred.
But Shepchenko's desire to leave is well known.
Once trust is broken, it's hard to repair.
Even if Shepchenko chooses to stay, AC Milan does need him, but there is a pimple in his heart after all.
Everyone knows that he stayed because the negotiations broke down, not because he chose to stay.
There's another twist.
With Sukh's arrival, Inzaghi seemed to be activated.
One is an outsider with a 'criminal record', and the other is a 'super'.
AC Milan naturally know how to make trade-offs.
Once Inzaghi's performance can return to the previous level, Suker can also meet expectations, and it is estimated that Shepchenko will not be on the bench and will have to be rotated.
Suker came off the bench and Shepchenko came off.
As soon as Suker came on the field, Kaka immediately came over to remind.
"The No. 3 Stranzel on the other side is very aggressive and physical, so be careful."
Sucre; "I like the German Guards the most! Slow to turn around, clumsy on his feet, and rigid in his head, once I pull him out of position, he's a telephone pole! “
Kaka grinned.
Not to mention anything else, Suke's footwork is indeed smoother than him, and he is very flexible.
"Suke!!"
Inzaghi waved to Suk and pointed in front of him, which was obvious.
'Pass me the ball!' ’
In recent times, Inzaghi has been obsessed with Suker's passing.
Throughout his career, he has never encountered a midfielder who knows him so well.
Every pass and every through ball is just right, and it completely hits your own aesthetics.
Suker's passing was more comfortable than any midfielder he had worked with.
On the other hand, Stuttgart's players also looked solemn.
Champions League Golden Boot, Croatian super talent, Suker's performance in the Champions League is obvious to all.
This guy is bound to cause them a lot of trouble.
"Keep an eye on him!"
Stranzl said to his teammate Soldo in front of him.
The latter also nodded solemnly.
After Suker came on, AC Milan's formation did not change.
Suker partnered Inzaghi up front.
Suker tucked his shirt into his pants as Nesta watched the two grinning; "Ghost combination, the Stuttgart defenders are going to have a headache!"
Maldini: "Soker is more than just a ghost! ”
"Come on!"
Bang!
Gattuso threw a punch into Suke's abdomen.
Su Ke immediately closed his abdomen.
Bang!
Suke bent over and arched into a shrimp shape, and Gattuso didn't push too hard, so it wasn't particularly painful.
But. Very unpleasant!
Suke sat on his horse and struck his fists straight into Gattuso's abdomen.
Bang bang!
"Climb for Lao Tzu!"
Gattuso didn't react at all, rubbed Suke's head, and turned to leave.
Su Ke shook his palm and shook his head: "The skin is rough and the meat is thick!" What a tank! ”
Off the field, Ancelotti and others looked at the stadium with a smile, and Suker mingled with other players.
Suker integrated into the team faster than Kaka.
Of course, this also has to do with Suker's performance in training matches.
A player's ability determines whether he can get into the circle, and Suker is more than enough.
Suker and Inzaghi stood in the centre circle.
Inzaghi immediately kicked off and ran forward.
Suker was a little behind, and after returning the pass, he did not go directly to the backline, but stood on a parallel line with Kaka, maintaining a close distance.
Suke's head began to rotate constantly to observe, and from time to time he would drop back to catch the ball, but it was always a touch, a return pass or a horizontal pass.
When Pirlo was caught in the middle of the field, Pirlo saw through the gap that Suker had run to the left wing and made a pick-up move.
Pirlo didn't hesitate at all and passed the ball straight away.
The ball crossed the blockade and was passed to the feet of Suker.
After Suker stopped the ball, he was immediately surrounded.
Stuttgart pressed aggressively forward to disrupt AC Milan's midfield deployment.
But AC Milan is a number 10!
Suker flicked his right foot horizontally, passed it back to Seedorf, and immediately passed through the narrow encirclement net and immediately ran to the next gap.
Seedorf kicked straight in front of Suke.
Su Ke pretended to make a passing action, and after the opponent's back blocked, he stepped on it and pulled it, and immediately pulled away.
Once you get out of position, it's easy to do.
Seedorf has already begun to step forward, and Kaka is also diagonally forward waiting to be answered.
Inzaghi also made a forward move.
But instead of passing, Suker shouldered to the right and followed up.
When the opponent's back is struggling to keep up.
Su Ke made a sharp stop and changed direction to the left, and the opponent's back waist retreated while forcibly twisting his body.
Isn't he just a telephone pole in the face of the nimble Suke!
At this time, the center of gravity of the opponent's back waist is already unstable, and the next step must not be able to keep up.
For this, he went straight to the steal.
But what Su Ke was waiting for was the moment when the other party made a move, and his feet were crossed and changed direction again.
The opponent's back waist stepped into the air and fell backwards.
Suke, on the other hand, patted his ass and walked away.
"Pretty!!"
"Three times in a row, this guy is so flexible!"
"It's empty in the middle! Plug it in! ”
Kaka slammed straight into the middle, and Inzaghi pulled in with Seedorf.
They pulled the backline straight into the box.
But Suke's side was empty.
"On a person, limit him!"
Stranzl yelled.
But he shouted late.
Suker came to the edge of the penalty area and slammed his left foot towards the ball.
It was a low curling ball that flew around the opposition centre-back towards the left-hand post.
In a sharp spin, you draw an arc in mid-air and drill straight into the goal.
The moment the ball goes into the net.
Suke turned and raised his right hand.
"Wow!!"
Inzaghi couldn't help but exclaim.
Kaka also opened his mouth slightly.
Maldini laughed and clapped his hands.
Ancelotti smiled and shook his head.
This guy didn't pass the ball and went it alone.
But what a beautiful job!
Ancelotti looked at Suke's back and said with a smile:
"Some people are naturally suitable to be the protagonist, some people are suitable to be the supporting role, and some people can be the protagonist and supporting role!"
"Suker is obviously the last, in Dinamo Sallegbu, he is the absolute protagonist, the whole tactics revolve around him, he is the star that shines, shines brightly. A player like him, even if he changes teams, he can live a good life! ”
"There are even more players who can only play supporting roles, many of them are sappers and role players, and they will never be the core, but they are tactical puzzle pieces, and they have a market!"
"The most embarrassing thing is that the player who can only be the protagonist!"
Ancelotti glanced at Shepchenko and pointed out: "Without the tactical system, without the familiar teammates, they can easily get lost to everyone!" ”
"The core that I bought with a lot of money can't adapt to the system, and I can only do the work of a sapper, which will really be a headache!"
Shepchenko kept his head down and did not speak.
