Chapter 16 Chaotic AC Milan
In the last round of the league, AC Milan finally lost 0:2 away to Regina.
After the game, Ancelotti looked a little confused: "We are very tired, very tired. We don't have much motivation in this game, and we are a little tired. We tried our best to control the game in the first half of the game, but we lost our rhythm in the second half, because we don't have enough energy to Regina, who fought for relegation, has a different motivation from ours. Mazzari's team is more eager to win than us.
Although it has received a reduced sentence like Fiorentina, AC Milan is still in a bad situation. After 15 rounds of the league, it has seven wins, four draws and four losses. For a rich team like AC Milan, ending 2006 with such a result is a complete failure.
And this failure has actually been buried since the summer. After losing the two strikers, Digan and Shevchenko, Galliani has been busy looking for a new gun for AC Milan all summer.
What's the result? Everyone saw it.
Brazilian Ri Cardo. Oliveira, who made her debut at the first day, really stunned many people. A goal and dazzling people, although she only stayed on the court for 30 minutes, Oliveira, the largest player introduced by AC Milan this season, still handed over a satisfactory answer.
25-year-old Brazilian striker Ri Cardo. Oliveira previously played for Real Betis. He was the best scorer in the Copa Libertadores. In the 2004/2005 season, Oliveira scored 22 goals in La Liga and ranked third in the top scorer list.
However, Oliveira only played 9 times last season due to serious injury and only scored 4 goals. AC Milan was eager to "find a gun" after releasing Shevchenko and Degan, so they exchanged 15 million euros and Swiss midfielder Vogel for the Brazilian striker.
The real ability of Oliveira, who took over Sheva's No. 7 manip, was questioned by Italians, but he gave the answer with excellent performance in the first game.
His goal showed his sensitive judgment of the ball and the killer's sense of grabbing points. Under the interference of the opponent's defender, Oliveira can also push the ball into the opponent's goal, which shows the flexibility of his body.
After the goal, Oliveira showed his unpredictable foot skills. One of the most impressive shots is that he continuously shook Lazio's two players on the left side of the penalty area to form a single knife. If Peruzi hadn't been too brave, the ball would definitely have become the best goal in this round. At that time, Oliver La's value for money made everyone happy, and his eye-catching performance also made Gilardino's main position precarious.
After that game, AC Milan's official website praised Oliveira. The website wrote: "The arrival of Oliveira made people forget Shevchenko and Digan. After this game, all AC Milan fans remembered him. His appearance activated San Siro. There is no doubt that he is the best player in the game, and all the fans are intoxicated by his ** performance. He scored in the first game, and he made a good start to his long season.
AC Milan, which owns Oliveira, seems to no longer worry about the team's attack power. The Reds and Blacks are still a king's division.
However, here is a but!
Recently, La Gazzetta dello Sport published an article entitled 2006 Failed Transfer Case, which listed the ten most disappointing deals this summer.
The tenth place is Turin's introduction of Fiore for two million euros. The promotion needs an experienced veteran, so Turin chose Fiore. However, compared with Doni's achievements in Atlanta, Fiore can be said to be a burden to Turin. Not only does it have no role in defense, but it does not reflect its due organizational ability in attack. It occupies a starting place, but inhibits Rosina's room to play. With 1 goal in 15 rounds, Fiore was mediocre and had no style as a former international.
The ninth place is Palermo's six million euros to introduce Diana. Six million euros is not a small amount for an Italian midstream club. For the sake of marginal internationals, Diana deserves this price. Last season, Diana, who scored two goals of Inter Milan, but was unconvinced. He only scored one goal in 15 games in the league. He could not get a fixed position under Guidolin. He kept adapting to the right-back, right-back and left-back positions. Coupled with intermittent minor injuries, his sharpness was worn out, and his offensive aspect was quite special. Diana can only be an inconspicuous engineering soldier in Palermo.
It's a little surprising that Inter Milan introduced Grosso with 5.5 million euros and Dela Fiore. Inter Milan signed Grosso before the start of the World Cup, and there was not much waves in fashion. A month later, everyone envied Inter Milan for grabbing the world's most amazing left-back at such a low price. Now in half a season, Grosso's performance is not a failure, but it is far from the "magic" expected. As the professional resume shows, Grosso is just an ordinary player suitable for midstream teams such as Perugia and Palermo. He can only stand firm in the rich family. The flash in the magic is impossible. Throughout the season, Inter Milan still has not solved the loopholes in the left-back position.
Ranked seventh is that Rome introduced Degan's original teammate Cassetti at the cost of 5 million euros. Casetti's transfer fee is second only to Pizarro's 62.5 million euros, but its role is far less than Pizarro. Spalerti intended to replace the old Panucci with Kasetti, but Kasetti obviously did not reach the realm of Panucci. Casetti played for two-thirds of Panucci, and his assist ability did not match his level at Lecce. He tried to find opportunities on the left, but the effect was not ideal, but his amazing performance in Atlanta still made people look forward to Casetti.
The sixth is also Rome's arm, renting Tavanaugh. If the most frustrated player in the 2006/07 European transfer market is selected, Tavanaugh must not be forgotten. He can be regarded as the "double smuggled goods" of La Liga and Serie A. It is understandable to sit on the bench in Valencia. After all, Spain is not a paradise for Italian players. After joining Rome on loan, Tavanaugh failed to prove his strength. He only scored 2 goals in 14 rounds of the league. In Spalletti's pursuit of offensive tactics, such data can only be described as bleak.
The fifth place is Turin's huge investment of 480 million euros to bring in Barone. With the aura of World Cup champion, Barone has created Turin's first transfer value this season. But to be honest, Barone is one of the most mediocre players in the World Cup lineup, and he has no other than running diligently. Turin does not lack this traditional engineering. Although Barone is conscientious, he can't bring qualitative improvement to the team. It is not worth spending 4.8 million euros for an ordinary defensive midfielder.
Ranked fourth is Lazio who bought half of the ownership of Makiwa with 3 million. The Nigerian striker performed well in Palermo last season and is considered to have the potential to grow into a Martins-style excellent striker. However, his technical ability does not meet the requirements of Lazio coach Mandollini, and it is difficult to shake the main position of Rocky and Pandev. Although he scored a goal from AC Milan in the first round of the league, Maginwa has been positioned as a substitute throughout the season, with an average playing time of less than 20 minutes. Mandolani hoped that Makiwa could play the role of the offensive fulcrum of Degan in Atlanta, but he could only be blinded.
The third place is Sampdoria's introduction of Telic with Pissanoga cash. At the beginning of last season, Telic made a big hit with continuous goals, which made people faintly see Materazzi's shadow in Perugia. However, Telich's fate is similar to that of his brother Le Rotalie. He became famous with Delneri and proved to be untrue after the transfer. Before the start of the league, Telić was even selected into Donadoni's first national team training list and played in a friendly match with Croatia, but Sampdoria quickly recognized his true level. After four starts and got one yellow and one red, Telic was completely put into the cold palace. On the contrary, the exchanged Pissano But it has performed well in Palermo.
The second place belongs to LIBRani, which was introduced by Florence for free. LIBRani's organizational ability has a good reputation in Serie A. In order to fill the gap of Brochi's transfer, Prandelli summoned the veteran to his command and entrusted him with the responsibility of absolute main force. Livrani's performance is also moderate. However, compared with people's expectations, it is obviously far behind, at least not comparable to the annual salary paid by Florence.
Next, the highlight is to ask who is the most disappointing transfer deal in the summer of 2006, Comrade Oliveira made a grand debut.
The former La Liga striker and Brazilian international wears the No. 7 jersey left by Shevchenko. No matter from what perspective, Oliveira is one of the most anticipated players in Serie A this season. His debut is also glorious. He not only scored a header and scored Lazio, but also had several good disk performances. But I don't know what the curse is, Oliveira's performance has plummeted since then, and occasionally a few decent shots have been in close contact with the goal frame. Ancelotti's patience with him has gradually lost. At present, Oliveira has been abandoned. There is no doubt that the Brazilian is the biggest smuggler in Serie A this season.
Let a soldier of the red ribbon army replace the Super Saiyan, AC Milan really wants too much!
The defense is unstable and the front line is weak. AC Milan's current performance is simply a mess, and the fans certainly have reason to be dissatisfied with the current results.
They sold Shevchenko and Degan in the summer, allowing AC Milan to gain a lot of money, but their investment in the transfer market was pitiful.
Daniel. Bonella is a good deal. At least the young and famous Bonella was once touted by the media as the new Nesta, but after he moved from Brescia to Palma, he did not show the strength of Nesta. Now when it comes to AC Milan, it is also difficult to be a major position. He is always young, and he is not young, but people Expectations for him can only be placed in the future, but the good thing is that he is a golden oil. If it really doesn't work, the defender line can be supported anywhere.
Ferdinando. Copola, born in Naples. Before coming to Milan, he either played in the second-class team or played as a substitute in the first-class team. No one knows why AC Milan introduced him. Although several goalkeepers are not very reliable now, it is obvious that Copola is more unreliable. Probably the only merit is that He transferred freely.
Jusepe. Favali, a veteran who played for Inter Milan, was the captain of Lazio and played nearly 500 games for Lazio. It should be said that he was a reliable defender. This summer, he moved freely to Milan, but the aging Favali is obviously not suitable to serve as a left-back. His running ability has declined too much, which is almost a loophole in the team. Therefore, more often Ancelotti put him in the position of central defender to fill the vacancy of central defender caused by extensive injuries.
Leander. Grimi, another soy sauce player, first proposed Grimi to the club that the player was AC Milan's chief scout Maldini Sr. Two years ago at the youth training camp of Argentina's second-class team Hulacan, and later the autumn league, Maldini Old Maldini had been optimistic about the young man. Argentine media commented that Grimi's basic quality is very good. He is in excellent physical condition and 182CM tall. At the same time, he is fast, has good skills, and performs very well in assists.
Braida even went to Argentina to inspect him and quickly finalized the transfer fee of two million euros. Although Milan's defense is seriously aging, perhaps his strength is only a few. Maybe Ancelotti trusts the veteran too much. This player has only played three times in half a year.
About the south. Gurkuv, although known as Zidane's successor, Gulkuv is more like a traditional midfielder. Zidane's running range is larger. Gurkuv is limited to the midfield area, which is somewhat similar to Riquelme. And at AC Milan, Ancelotti rejected Gulkuv's plan to replace Kaka, believing that Gurkuv did not have Kaka's running and speed with the ball. Gulkuv's appearance time in Milan is limited, and he is also labeled as smuggled goods.
Masimo. Oddo, this is probably the biggest gain of AC Milan this summer. The player entered AC Milan's youth training camp in 1993. Since 95/96, he has lived a rented life, played for Fiorenza, Monza, Prato, Lecco, Naples, and was finally bought out by Verona. After 2002, he transferred to Lazio, where he became famous, was selected to the national team and served as the captain of Lazio. Milan, who lacks a right-back, is eager to buy it at a high price of 8 million euros. In the half season of the transfer, Odo played ten league games and scored a goal, which was amazing.
It is very obvious that such performance is really difficult to equate with AC Milan's rich family status. They are fishing for fish in a big net and eating full of oil. AC Milan is also put in the net, but the fishing net is a little unqualified. The big fish net is not enough, and the small fish are all gone, leaving only a small shrimp left, hoping to live in this way. I can only say that I am naive.
The team's poor record made Ancelotti and Galliani both confirmed that the team will be replenished in the winter.
Berlusconi also confirmed this in an interview: "Winter transfer market? We will see. We are discussing this matter with Ancelotti and Galliani. AC Milan still hopes to maintain its leading position. We will do everything possible to strengthen the team. Of course, don't forget that the injured will also recover one after another. We will look at the opportunity to strengthen the team. But I believe that we will still get satisfactory results this season.
Milan Sport is also helping AC Milan make suggestions in the transfer market. According to their ideas, one is in the position of goalkeeper, and the other is to continue to strengthen the midfield.
also said that AC Milan is actively negotiating with Florence about the acquisition of Montolivo.
AC Milan does have this idea. Ancelotti hopes to introduce Montolivo, mainly in view of the fact that there are few people in the midfield that can be replaced at present. With Serginho's long absence due to injury, Jankulovski was pressed to death in the left-back position, and the midfield substitutes are only Ambrosini, Brochi and Goul. Kuf and the three, while Ambrosini is still a long-term injury.
And Montolivo is recognized as a talented midfielder in Italian football. He was also a "stakeover" selected by Pirlo. After showing people his offensive talent in Atlanta, he was much better than in defense than in the past in terms of technology and creativity. Similar to Pirlo, the Milan Sport said that he is 6 years younger than Pirlo, and if he joins, he will become the current "sub-Pierlo" and the future "Pierlo successor".
Pirlo himself once said: "In my opinion, Montolivo has the most similar style. I think he will have a better performance if he retreats to the back position*."
But Fiorentina coach Prandelli said in an interview: "I don't think there is any reason for him to leave Florence."
Because of what?
Because there is Degan in Florence!
Montolivo also said in a subsequent interview: "If AC Milan wanted to introduce me a year ago, I would be very happy. This may hurt the feelings of Florence fans, but I am really eager to fight side by side with Degan. When we were in Atlanta before, we used to After a great cooperation, now that Degan is back, I hope I can continue!"
Come on!
Faling flowers are deliberately flowing and ruthlessly!
AC Milan's sincerity is stuck on the ice for thousands of years.
Fortunately, they still have Kaka. Kaka's performance this season is amazing. After 15 rounds of the league, he scored nine goals, seven assists, and scored six goals in the Champions League.
After Degan moved to Florence, Kaka alone held the position belonging to the Wright brothers in Milan. It can be said that without Kaka, AC Milan was doomed to tragedy this season.
"Rod has recovered, which is the best news for me. I look forward to competing with him again. In the World Cup, I lost to him, but when it comes to the league, I hope to win back!"
The Serie A has entered the winter break. After the winter break, AC Milan's first opponent is Florence, the competition between the Wright brothers, which returned to Serie A from the stage of the World Cup.
"During my recovery, Ricado and I often talk on the phone and occasionally meet. In the first game after my comeback, I can face my brother. There is no better stage for me. Riccardo has done a very good job at AC Milan this season, but I think I will win the end. Victory!"
The contest between the Wright brothers has never been harmonious since Degan was still in Atlanta. Although people want to see the offensive combination of the Wright brothers, they obviously prefer to see the battle between the two brothers on the field.
However, before that, Digan still had some things to deal with. AC Milan is now in a mess and has poor league results, but Degan is very clear that it is because Ancelotti has shifted the team's focus to the Champions League this season.
Florence is not qualified to laugh at others now. Although there has been no discordant sound in the team, it is time to clear some hidden dangers.
On the day Degan returned to the team, he learned from Prandelli that someone had submitted a transfer application.
Fernando seems to be desperate for life in Florence! I persuaded him before and told him that I was still patient, but he didn't seem to listen at all!"
Digan also thought of such a situation. There are not many opportunities for Cavinage in Florence. After 15 rounds, he made 13 appearances and did not score a single goal, and even the number of times he shot the target is even small.
Look at his two teammates, who have frequently scored goals, especially Mutu, who came to the team with him, has become the favorite of Fiorentina fans.
The first thing that a frustrated person thinks of is that it may be better to change the environment.
"Coach! I'll go and have a good talk with him!"
Plandli looked at Degan. In fact, it is very strange that Degan is so optimistic about Kavinage. The league has been going on for nearly half of the time, but Kavinage doesn't seem to be able to adapt to the style of Italian football at all.
If it hadn't been for Degan's previous injury and Prandelli's hands were really empty, he wouldn't have given Kavinage so many opportunities.
But now that Degan has said it, he can only nod and agree: "Okay! At least as a tactical center, he is still a good choice!"
Tactical center?
Digan smiled and said, "No! Coach! I asked the team to introduce him, but I didn't let him be a damn tactical center! He is the new Bati, a Batista tower belonging to the new Florence!"
Prandelli frowned slightly. From his point of view, so far, he has not found this trait in Kavinage.
