Chapter 78 Good start, but~~~~
On the day of the game with Ascoli, the weather in Milan was very cold, and the turf condition in San Siro was not very good, and it was hard. San Siro's poor venue condition is very famous in European football. A rich family does not have a matching stadium. This kind of thing only happens in Italy.
Because the Italian stadium is owned by municipal governments, and each team is not allowed to have its own stadium and can only be rented. Over the years, Inter Milan has always wanted to own its own stadium and move out of San Siro, but several applications have not been approved, as well as Juventus and Alpes Stadium. Wrong, but it's too big. The stands are empty in every game, but their plan to apply for transformation has been passed, but other teams are trying to expand and expand the capacity of the stands, but Juventus wants to shrink it.
Before this game, AC Milan maintained a complete victory in nine home games this season, and the last home defeat dates back to the 3:3 draw with Cevo on May 20 last year.
The team was full of wounded soldiers. In this game, Ancelotti once again sacrificed the great method of rotation, and discharged Ambrosini, Dainzaghi, Rui Costa, Simic and other substitute players. Janculowski also made his first appearance on behalf of AC Milan in this game.
In the first leg of this season, Ascoli almost defeated AC Milan at home, but at the end of the game, Degan came on as a substitute and performed a hat-trick in just a few minutes, which not only helped the team overtake the score, but also broke the time record of Basten's fastest hat-trick in Serie A.
AC Milan's formation is still 4-3-1-2: goalkeeper Dida, from right to left Simic, Stam, Nesta, Jankulovski, midfielder Ambrosini, Pirlo, Sidov parallel position, Rui Costa's breakthrough, Gilardino partner Inzaghi on the forward line.
Ascoli set out a 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper Coppola, Comoto, Domitzi, Adani, Tosto, midfielder Carello, Bisso, Parola, Del Grosso, and Quagliarella on the forward line with Villanović. Foja, a young Milan player who had performed very well before, sat on the bench in this game.
After Degan recovered from his injury, he sat on the bench for the first time. Next to him were Kaka and Fiori. Just three minutes after the start of the game, AC Milan got a chance to score a goal. Simic, who returned to the starting lineup, inserted an assist. Rui Costa distinguished. After Simic got the ball, he made a cross from the right side. Adani was not far from the siege. Inzaghi volleyed his right foot near the penalty point, and the football hit the upper edge of the crossbar and popped up the bottom line. .
Ascoli is not willing to give up. They have performed very well this season and even ranked in the top three of the table, but as the league progresses, they have also returned to their original shape.
Just a minute later, Quagliarella carried the ball in the front court and wanted to break through. He was kicked first by Stam, broke the ball, and launched an attack directly with a big foot. Ascoli's defense line was relatively forward. At this time, he wanted to take it back, but it was impossible. Inzaghi took the ball near the left center line and no one received it. In the case, he rode alone and directly entered the penalty area with the ball. Adani, who was blocked with his right foot, shoveled his left foot eight meters in front of the goal. The ball drilled into the near corner from the side of goalkeeper Copola, and AC Milan led 1:0!
After scoring the goal, Inzaghi also showed his ** side again, opened his arms, and rushed straight to the bench all the way.
Digan also rushed out of the bench at the moment when Inzaghi scored the goal. The two were good friends. He was only absent from the game for three months due to injury. The hunger for the game almost drove him crazy. Inzaghi has been sick since last season. As soon as he returned from injury, he has scored three goals. .
Degan is also a striker. Naturally, he knows the striker's desire to score goals. As soon as he reached the sidelines, Inzaghi had already jumped over and jumped directly to Degan.
Inzaghi's goal, oh! The first thing he found was not Simitch, who gave him an assist, but Degan on the bench. There were rumors that the relationship between Inzaghi and Degan was very tense. Look at them now, a hug broke all the rumors.
"Rod! Don't forget our original agreement!" Inzaghi shouted excitedly in Degan's ear.
Of course, Degan remembered that when he was still recovering from his injury in Brussels, he saw on TV that Inzaghi had written this sentence on his shirt when he scored his first goal after his comeback.
After taking the lead, AC Milan continued to launch a crazy attack. In the seventh minute, Pirlo broke into the left, and Sedorf's shot was blocked from the bottom line by Copola.
In the ninth minute, Rui Costa cleverly went straight to Inzaghi, but Coppola took the ball first, and Inzaghi slowed down half a beat, and he also looked very annoyed.
In the 12th minute, Pirlo was 30 meters in front of the goal, and the free kick was thrillingly pulled out by Coppola.
In the 14th minute, Rui Costa made a corner kick on the right side and Inzaghi headed the ball, but Simic did not control the ball and was destroyed in advance by Ascoli's defender.
In the 17th minute, Simic made a cross from the right side. Inzaghi turned around at the front of the penalty area and shot with his right foot, but did not hit the right part. The ball went out of the bottom line.
Inzaghi then signaled to the referee that the opponent's defender was suspected of pulling people, but the referee ignored it. Inzaghi seemed very disappointed. He had been suspended for almost half a year due to injury, and now he cherishes every opportunity to score.
In the 26th minute, Pirlo shot vigorously with his right foot outside the penalty area and skimmed the crossbar.
In the 37th minute, Pirlo cut into the penalty area from the left and cheated Comoto with two consecutive fake moves, but his pass was blocked from the bottom line, Rui Costa made a corner kick, and Gilardino headed slightly.
At the end of the first half of the game, AC Milan completely controlled the rhythm on the court, and Ascoli seemed helpless.
Ancelotti was obviously very satisfied with the performance of the players, standing on the sidelines with his shoulders on his face.
Digan sat on the bench as usual and was occasionally taken out to warm up by Tasoti. Now that the team is leading, he knows that if the game continues like this, it will be difficult for him to play.
If it had been before, I'm afraid he would have been anxious, but now Degan won't. He has learned how to adjust his mentality from Fiori.
Opportunities will always come, and all he needs is to wait.
In the 40th minute of the game, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Ambrosini did not stand up immediately after a tackle, but lay on the ground, covering his left leg with a painful face, and the referee immediately suspended the game.
Seeing this, Ancelotti's heart suddenly sank. Milan's team doctor entered the field, but what he brought back was not good news. Ambrosini's left leg muscle was strained, and I'm afraid it will be a month.
Ancelotti waved to Gattuso with a gloomy face, ordered him a few words, and sent Gattuso to the stage.
Ambrosini walked into the player channel with a gloomy look and went straight out of the game. Degan looked at it and sighed in his heart. He saw the game just now. Although Ambrosini did not have many highlights, he was one of the best players in this game, just 40 minutes. The performance of the media will not be low after the game.
In Milan's midfield, people's focus is always on Kaka, who staged a wild raid, the brave and tenacious Gattuso, the elegant Pierre, and the art master Sedorf, but Ambrosini is rarely noticed, but in fact, Ambrosini is the most indispensable one on the AC Milan court, only When he is on the field, AC Milan's defense will look very solid.
Although Gattuso had a lot of grabs, the above grabs were made at the cost of many breakthroughs. Ambrosini completed three steals within 40 minutes, but the next key was that he rarely gave the opponent the opportunity to break through.
In the 16th minute, Ascoli attacked with the ball in the middle. Ambrosini made up but did not kick out, which won the time for his teammates to defend back. Seeing that there was no chance to move forward, Ascoli chose to fall down horizontally and finally lost the ball in the pass.
In the 22nd minute, the opponent's inverted foot gave AC Milan a vacuum in the middle. Palola got up and shot, but Ambrosini suddenly rushed up and blocked the long shot.
In the thirty-first minute, the opponent counterattacked and took the ball from the middle**. Ambrosini caught up with a slipper from behind and hooked the ball from between the opponent's legs with his right foot and shoveled it beautifully.
In the thirty-second minute, after Ambrosini stole the front court, he stuffed the left rib and tore open the opponent's defense line. Inzaghi inserted a cross pass, Gilardino slowed down half a step.
In fact, since his comeback, Ancelotti has been slowly letting Ambrosini find the state and rhythm of the game. The signal given by Ambrosini is positive. It is almost close to the state before the injury. It is approaching the time to compete for the main position, and Ambrosini fell down again.
In fact, although Ambrosini was disappointed, he seemed to be used to such a cycle. In the 03/04 season, Ambrosini once squeezed Sedorf to the bench, and as a result, at the end of January, he returned the main position to Seedorf, and the Dutch also seized the opportunity to Derby in Milan. Ambrosini scored a beautiful goal in the 3:2 reversal, and Ambrosini had no chance.
At the beginning of this season, Ambrosini once put Gattuso on the bench. Gattuso even proposed the possibility of a transfer in an interview, but Ambrosini's injury once again made Gattuso win time. Later, Gattuso played better and better. He is currently in the score of Milan Sport. AC Milan scored The second highest midfielder is Ambrosini.
is probably a deadly lone star. Ambrosini's career seems to be destined to be accompanied by patience. In AC Milan, he endured the position as a substitute. Every time he survived, he had to endure injuries. Because of his patience, AC Milan also paid the price in Europe. In the two tragedies of the Champions League against A Coruña and Liverpool, I'm afraid Ancelotti misses Ambrosini most. Perhaps his long-term patience has given him a tougher fighting spirit than anyone else.
In terms of strength, Ambrosini is by no less than any star in the "star lineup". In the absence of Maldini and Costacuta, all players are willing to give him the captain's armband is a recognition, but Ambrosini's positioning is a substitute. Recently, the Roman Sport reported that AC Milan may loan Ambrosini to Atletico Madrid, which is certainly a fake news, but it also proves that in the media's view, Ambrosini is indeed not a member of the main body of this team. It is not only strength, but also luck and fate that determines all this.
Digan looked at Ambrosini and felt sorry for him. In terms of strength alone, Ambrosini and Gattuso are comparable. When it comes to their role on the court, Ambrosini's role in the current AC Milan lineup system is even better than Gattuso.
Although Ambrosini has a bad relationship with Degan because of Vieri, this does not prevent Degan from appreciating this loyal minister of Milan.
Ambrosini was injured. Just a minute later, Ascoli's head coach also made a substitution adjustment and replaced Callero with Foggia for an extremely poor performance.
Fuja was also born in the youth training camp in Milan, but like his teammates of his youth team, Foga did not get a chance to play in Milan, and finally had no choice but to leave and was constantly loaned. After arriving at Ascoli this season, his performance was very eye-catching and has scored three goals so far. The ball and five assists.
It has also been said by the media that if Foggia's performance continues like this, he is likely to return to Milanello, but Digan knows very well that Foggia will not get this opportunity at all, because in his position, there is Serginho, whom Ancelotti admires more, and Jankulovski can also To play the position of the left front.
After Foggia came on the court, Milan soon suffered a heavy blow. Ascoli passed the ball in the middle, Gatuso rushed to tackle, but failed to touch the football. After Foggia got the ball on the side, he ran all the way to the front court, lightly smashed the ball, shook away the Simic who rushed up, and then took the opportunity to cut in and grabbed Stam. Before blocking, a curved ball directly hangs the far point of Milan's goal.
Although Dida made a rescue move, it was a pity that he was still a little slower and could only look up and watch the football get into the dead corner.
Towards the end of the first half, Ascoli actually equalized the score on the field.
Ancelotti was stunned, and then walked into the player's channel with a gloomy face. It could be seen that An Fatty was very angry.
