AC Milan lined up in a 4-3-3 formation for this game, with Robinho injured, so Allegri asked Boateng to play up front temporarily.

In fact, Zheng Zhi is also particularly suitable for this position, after all, he was positioned as a shadow striker at Juventus last season, but because of his stronger adaptability, Yun Sheng often let him play in the midfield.

And Zheng Zhi is in good physical condition and is very suitable for the competition.

But Allegri still put Zheng Zhi on the bench.

Because he doesn't look at Zheng Zhi very well.

Allegri has attracted a number of players in this summer transfer window, but the club's support has been limited, and several of his favourite players have not been able to make it to the Rossoneri.

But in this situation of tight funds, the club actually paid a large price of 20 million euros to buy Zheng Zhi, who was not in Allegri's plan!

This made him very angry!

Do you have me as a manager in your eyes?

Zheng Zhi's transfer not only did not ask Allegri's opinion, but Galliani also insisted that Allegri must be given stable playing time, because the team relies on Zheng Zhi to earn advertising fees.

The sponsors have already made it clear that the increase in their sponsorship fees will be determined by Zheng Zhi's appearance time.

Therefore, Allegri is very helpless, even if he doesn't want to use Zheng Zhi and exclude him from the main lineup, he has to try to give him enough opportunities to come off the bench.

In this game, Robinho was absent due to injury, Allegri was already stretched thin in the line-up, and now the team is two goals behind, and his fancy Boateng has performed very badly, which makes him very annoyed.

Looking back at the bench, he suddenly had an idea.

Let Zheng Zhi come off the bench!

Although he doesn't like Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi's serious attitude on the training ground still earns his respect, and Zheng Zhi's 1-4 defeat to AC Milan in a 1-4 unfavorable situation last season is now a sore spot for Allegri.

Now let Zheng Zhi come off the bench, if he can reverse the win, it is the best, if he performs badly, he can take this opportunity to talk to the board of directors.

Zheng Zhi's performance is so bad, if I press him on the bench, you won't have anything to say, right?

Boateng, who was substituted off the field, was not in a good mood, he knew that the head coach was very dissatisfied with him, and when he passed by Zheng Zhi on the field, he didn't even high-five and hug Zheng Zhi, but bypassed him and returned directly to the bench, which made Zheng Zhi a little embarrassed.

Now that the second half has only been five minutes into play, it is normal for Boateng to be in a bad mood when he is substituted.

Zheng Zhi's brows moved slightly, he didn't say anything, and under the urging of the fourth official, he quickly ran onto the court.

Regarding the relationship between Zheng Zhi and Boateng, there was a little unpleasantness before.

Zheng Zhi wears the number 27 shirt at Juventus, while the number 27 fan is Boateng's favourite in the AC Milan team.

On the first day of coming to the team, Boateng said in front of everyone: "Zheng Zhi, you wait another year, and when Seedorf retires next year, I will wear his No. 10 jersey and give you my No. 27 shirt." ”

This was very provocative, and Zheng Zhi did not respond. He ended up opting for the number 28 shirt and didn't dwell on it.

Now that Boateng has been substituted, the person who replaced him is Zheng Zhi, and Boateng is even more unhappy.

Not only did he ignore Zheng Zhi in the end, but he sat on the bench and said to his teammates presumptuously: "What's so great about that Chinese man?" I had an injury today, so I didn't score a goal, so it's better to bring in Inzaghi, he's the best option. Otherwise, it's okay to let Shaarawy come on the field, this lad is also very good. I didn't expect the coach to send Zheng Zhi, I really don't know what he thinks. ”

Gattuso, who was on the side, glanced at him: "You give Lao Tzu less nonsense!" behaves like shit, and is still sowing discord here, if you don't shut up, I'll fuck you now! ”

Boateng was dissatisfied, but he looked at the fierce Gattuso and kept his mouth shut.

He knew very well that this guy did what he said, and if he beeped again, maybe he would be in trouble when he went back to the locker room in a while......

Inzaghi on the side patted Gattuso: "Don't be angry, watch the game." I believe that Zheng Zhi will be able to lead the team to victory. ”

Gattuso also nodded firmly: "This kid can make Juventus go from 1-4 to 5-4, and he can make us Milan from 0-2 to 3-2, I believe him!" ”

In fact, a year ago, Gattuso and Inzaghi did not have much impression of the Chinese, let alone have a good impression.

But after getting along with Wu Lei and Cai Huikang this year, the two have learned a lot about Chinese culture, and they also have a good impression of the humble and low-key Chinese players.

Zheng Zhi's excellent offensive and defensive characteristics not only won the love of Gattuso and Inzaghi, but also conquered Seedorf's heart.

Looking at Zheng Zhi who ran on the field, Seedorf also nodded and said: "I agree with your opinion, this guy will definitely be able to help Milan turn defeat into victory." When I retire, he will be the best owner of the number 10 shirt in Milan! ”

Gattuso slapped his face: "That's right! Milan's number 10 jersey is not something that can be worn by any cat or dog! It has to be a top star like Seedorf to deserve it, Zheng Zhi is such a talented player, I am optimistic about him! ”

The two chatted about the No. 10 jersey, and Boateng on the side almost vomited blood in anger.

I've always wanted the number 10 jersey, what do you mean by saying that in front of me? Deliberately embarrassing me?

However, looking at Gattuso, who was glaring at him angrily, and Seedorf, who didn't care about him at all, Boateng finally chose to swallow his anger and endure it.

He looked in the direction of the court.

Zheng Zhi, even if the veterans in the team have a good impression of you, that's not it!

Respect is earned by strength on the field, not by popularity!

There was an undercurrent on the bench on the sidelines, everyone was secretly competing, and the Milan players on the pitch were all focused on the game, hoping to equalize and overtake the score as soon as possible.

Zheng Zhi came off the bench and quickly ran to his position and came to the side of Ibrahimovic and Cassano.

Eevee nodded haughtily at him, even if it was a greeting.

In fact, this is already very good, and the average young person Ibu can't look down on it. It was only after Zheng Zhi's wonderful performance against Milan last season that Ibrahimovic looked up to Zheng Zhi, otherwise with his arrogant character, he would not take a team's new signings seriously.

Cassano is much friendlier than Ibrahimovic.

Since coming to Milan, Cassano has been the person who has the best relationship with Zheng Zhi.

In addition to the reason why the two have the same personalities, Yunsheng's influence is also an important reason.

Cassano is Yun Sheng's former disciple, and Zheng Zhi is also Yun Sheng's favorite general, with the good relationship between the two and Yun Sheng, friends are also friends, so the relationship between the two is very good.

Seeing Zheng Zhi coming off the bench, Cassano smiled and patted Zheng Zhi's shoulder: "Man, you just came on the field and are in good shape, I'll pass you the ball in a while, and you try to score as soon as possible." It's up to you for this game! ”
