Chapter 108: Noze. Jose Mourinho (four more begging for subscription!) )
AC Milan suffered a huge scar in the Champions League and despite their victory over Barcelona, it was also a disastrous victory.
It also puts Chelsea in the semi-finals in the best of the hand.
And for AC Milan, the suspension of Kaka and Gattuso in the Champions League is not entirely a bad thing.
At the very least, the two of them can focus on the Coppa Italia and the league.
In the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, Carlo Ancelotti sent all the main players on the pitch except for the injured Andrea Pirlo.
This is also the first time that AC Milan have started to play a full-scale main force in the Coppa Italia.
Of course, there was also a reason why there was too much pressure in the semi-finals, but there is speculation that it is more likely that Ancelotti is going to adjust his focus.
However, Carlo Ancelotti will not publicly announce that he has given up the Champions League.
Even in everyone's opinion, AC Milan can't go far in the Champions League.
In the second leg of the Coppa Italia against Fiorentina.
Although AC Milan lost Andrea Pirlo, they were able to withstand the pressure thanks to the excellent performances of their other players.
And played a sharp counterattack.
It's just that after two fierce battles against Barcelona, AC Milan seems to have run out of energy, and there are many problems in defense.
Fiorentina were not particularly tough in attack, but they still scored twice against AC Milan.
But in this game, Suker and Kaka showed a wonderful combination.
The 'fake dual-core' tactic played a key role, and Suker also came up with two shots and one pass.
Kaka had two assists.
Pato got a goal.
In the end, AC Milan defeated Fiorentina 3-2 to advance to the Coppa Italia final.
"You're a big colander!"
Suke couldn't help but complain about Simunich.
This guy's play in this game is a disaster.
In the face of the opposing striker, all kinds of mistakes are frequent, and once he is beaten behind, he has no power to parry at all.
Nesta wiped his ass several times and replaced him with Kaladze in the second half, otherwise he would have leaked more.
Simunich was also very aggrieved.
His weaknesses were exposed as soon as the midfield line became vulnerable defensively.
In the end, Gattuso couldn't run.
Gattuso was also silent with his head bowed.
In the past, Gattuso was an iron-blooded tough guy who couldn't run.
But this season, after coming to the second half, he experienced a two-legged battle with Barcelona, which caused him a lot of consumption.
The body is not recovering, and it is easy to get tired and sleepy.
Kicking and kicking, you can't concentrate, and you can't even run.
"Hey~~"
Suke sighed and sat down on the bench.
He couldn't help it.
The backline has begun to crumble, and that's it this season, and next season could be even worse.
In their current form, AC Milan are really dangerous.
That's it for the Champions League!
Give up, give up.
But in the league and the Coppa Italia, Suker didn't want to give up.
And in these two competitions, Inter Milan is also a strong opponent.
The good news is that Inter are not in a good situation right now.
Roberto Mancini has been at odds with the club's hierarchy and could leave at any time.
Ibrahimovic is vacillating and there is talk about a possible transfer for Ibrahimovic.
In addition, they were stunned by Barcelona in the Champions League, which led to low morale, and they have not recovered now.
Combining these factors, Inter Milan is also going downhill.
It's just that they still have the power of the Mesozoic to rely on.
What's more, next season, the madman Mourinho may reign in Meazza.
The thought of this made Su Ke feel aggrieved.
Shaking his head, Suke took a few deep breaths.
He doesn't think about these questions anymore, and now, his focus is about to start shifting.
Transfers are one thing.
The European Championship is also one thing.
The latter is also the biggest focus at the moment.
After all, at the end of the season, the Croatian national team will also play in the 2008 European Championship in Switzerland and Austria.
The main draw of the European Championship should not be underestimated.
What's more, Croatia are in Group B of the European Championship with Germany, hosts Austria and Poland.
It's not a death group, but the competition is fierce.
"What a pity! I didn't meet you in the semi-finals. ”
On the phone, Modric's tone was full of regret.
He was still waiting to kick Suke in the nose so that he could avenge himself.
And with the current form of AC Milan, what to play with them.
Winning is not a matter of holding a finger.
Suker rolled his eyes: "You can be careful, don't get injured in the Champions League and affect the European Cup!" ”
"I've basically given up on the Champions League, the league and the cup to win the title, but the big deal is the European Cup."
Modric; "Don't worry, I won't get hurt, it's my first national tournament and I don't want to miss it."
"Something has been wrong with the European media lately!" Suker said; "The Eastern European Iron Cavalry, the Plaid Army, they are promoting the Croatian threat theory, beware of being eliminated by them in the group stage."
"It's mainly the British media that is promoting that after they missed the European Championships, they started hyping up our threat." Modric shook his head; "If we get a good result, England can save some face!"
Suke nodded.
In fact, England had a reason to be done.
According to the original time and space.
Croatia reached the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
Russia reached the semi-finals of the European Championship.
Hard power is definitely there!
Moreover, England played too badly in the European Championship qualifiers.
'When you play Chelsea, be careful with their defence, don't get hurt, there are some balls that should be played, this Chelsea team is crazy defensively!'
Modric reminded.
Su Ke nodded: "Understand, don't get hurt, wait to play the European Cup!" ”
With that, Suke hung up.
Jose Mourinho's Chelsea!
Su Ke shook his head, it's another tough battle!
Meanwhile, London, England, Chelsea training base.
Shevchenko was called up alone by Mourinho.
Mourinho and Shevchenko haven't spoken to each other for a long time.
Jose Mourinho is not the type of manager who has the patience to wait for the substitutes to grow or improve his form.
When Shevchenko was kicked out of the main line-up, the two of them were strangers to each other.
But this time, Mourinho called Shevchenko over.
Shevchenko was also a little surprised.
He didn't know what else he had to talk about with Mourinho.
But soon, he understood.
"Andre, I need some information, I need to know the specific style of Su Ke." Mourinho looked at the information in his hand and said slowly; 'Our scouts didn't work hard enough, he said, 'Suker is an all-around centre-forward and I feel he's joking, Suker must have something he is best at.'
"So. He's impact, pivot, or nine-and-a-half! ”
Listening to Mourinho's words, Shevchenko's expression was a little lost.
He thought that Mourinho suddenly woke up and wanted to reactivate himself, but he didn't expect to ask about Suker.
But Mourinho's character, he can do this kind of thing.
"He's the Almighty!" Shevchenko sighed; "I don't know too much about what Su Ke has grown up to now, after all, there have been too many changes in the past two years, and his growth rate is too fast."
"But as far as I can remember, he can admit any position"
Mourinho nodded from time to time and bowed his head to write something.
After a moment, Mourinho looked up: "Is there anything else?" ”
Shevchenko shook his head.
Jose Mourinho; "Well, thank you."
Shevchenko frowned slightly, he gritted his teeth and said; "Sir, if I don't have a place in the squad next season, I want to go out on loan, I want to play!" ”
This was Shevchenko's last temptation.
He somewhat hoped that Mourinho could keep him and tell him that Chelsea still had his place and that he would soon be back on track.
But none of that.
"Okay, I'll talk to the club, do you have a club you want to go to?"
Looking at Mourinho's indifferent attitude, Shevchenko understood that he had been completely abandoned.
"AC Milan!"
Shevchenko's tone was full of bitterness.
Yes!
He still wants to go back and find his former self.
Even though there may no longer be a place for him, this is his last hope.
Shevchenko got up and left Mourinho's office.
Along the way, Mourinho didn't even look up at the other.
Mourinho's eyes were fixed on the records in the notebook, rubbing his eyebrows and shaking his head; "It's really a troublesome type, fortunately the Milan midfield is paralyzed, otherwise it would be really difficult to play!"
