Chapter 74 Shake
When the flowers bloom, looking at the weak state of AC Milan in this game and Kaka's tired and lonely eyes, Degan can't help but be a little shaken. Perhaps leaving this team that has gradually lost its enterprising spirit is not necessarily a bad thing for Kaka.
AC Milan's depravity trajectory this season perfectly interprets this old saying, after cutting off the European Super Cup and pushing AC Milan to the peak. However, what followed was a sharp decline in achievements, and the dynasty dream of the Rossoneri fell to the ground like tofu dregs.
Although this game is not over, it is not difficult to see from the first half of the game that this AC Milan has almost reached the point of no desire, and the slogans are loud, but in fact, AC Milan's players are obviously not as good as the vigorous Florence for victory and honor. .
Today's AC Milan team is no longer a question of whether a revolution is needed, but a question of how to revolutionize.
Look at the first half of the game. The young people in Florence are wild in front of the former superstars. Even small people like Hamsik and Modric can take the ball at will in the huge space of AC Milan's defensive formation. Degan even made Oddo and Nesta completely lose their temper. It must be said that this It's AC Milan's current strength, but there are still people around the world who can't see this. Galliani and Berlusconi are still covering their ears: "We don't need a big change."
Although it has been emphasized more than once that "it is not a problem to pay for people", Berlusconi seems to be short of money or reluctant to pay for it.
Look at AC Milan's gun target and acquire Droba. Amauri's thunder is small, and "Slow Motion" reveals that Milan is trying to rent back Shevchenko, but can the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, which is about to be dumb, really pull AC Milan out of the sea of fire?
AC Milan's aging did not start from the last two seasons. After buying Nesta and Rui in 2002 to 2004, Berlusconi has actually changed his strategy and advocated zero transfer fees and high salaries to build a team.
Pancaro, Cafu, Favari, Inzaghi and Sidorf are all products of this strategy.
Although this strategy has brought a golden age to Milan, it is precisely this chronic disease of "short-term behavior" that overwhelmed the Rossoneri.
Experienced veterans can fight, but they can transfer for free but receive high salaries. For example, Favali, Cafford, Sergio, Maldini and others have an annual salary of about 2.5 million euros. In the last season, they have to pay more than 20 million to raise these veterans who can't play many games, while squeezing the space for young people. There is a huge salary pressure on the club. If you want to change blood and have no money, you can only continue to rely on the veteran. Such a vicious circle, when the veteran's state plummets, what is waiting for AC Milan to break out in full swing.
It is disappointing that AC Milan continues its veteran route until now. Recently, news from the media: AC Milan will sign 33-year-old Inter winger Cesar for free, while Sergio, Favari and Cafaux are only close to announce the renewal of their contracts. If Maldini plays for another year, Milan will repeat 150 years. The feat of defense!
If the bad record is exchanged for the club's sudden awakening, it is also worth it. Even if the results of one or two seasons are sacrificed, it may win new students, but the still-awaken Berlusconi has put AC Milan on the old path of Parma and Lazio, and a rich family has fallen? It's alarmist but by no means sensational.
Although it is away, AC Milan has no power to fight back by Fiorentina like now. People have to re-examine this AC Milan and the so-called "no revolution" argument. Last season's successful defense of the Champions League made Ancelotti the present. The coach who has won the UEFA Champions League the most has also brought AC Milan to the peak, but like the law of everything, there is a rapid decline after the peak. At present, AC Milan has miraculously won only one victory after six rounds of the league.
This is the current situation of AC Milan and the reaction of real strength. Look at the young Fiorentina holding the ball at will in the huge space of AC Milan's defensive formation. Judging from the ability shown in this game and even this season, Antonini, Abat and Hamsik, the previously unknown players, AC Milan seems to be able to play the main force easily.
The current situation is dazzling, but also very real. In fact, compared with the lineup of AC Milan and Fiorentina, especially in terms of lineup thickness, AC Milan does not have any advantage.
Former Milan coach Saki has pointed out the current problems of AC Milan. Saki said sharply: "This AC Milan is too old and slow, and it is time to change."
In the last round of lucky draw with a fish army like Catania, Ancelotti said after the game, "we don't have any excuse". Galliani is still blaming the referee, but he blames the objective reasons. He never seriously reflects himself and is still immersed in the dream of winning the championship. This is the current situation of AC Milan Club. . AC Milan's performance may make this season hopeless, and the club's attitude may make AC Milan lose hope forever.
Berlusconi refuses to spend money and even plans to do big things without spending money, but at this point, it seems difficult for even Ancelotti, who has always cooperated.
He said publicly at a press conference after the game against Catania: "Sepchenko and Pato are not ideal because their characteristics are similar."
This is not a contradiction between Ancelotti and Shevchenko in the past, but that he does not believe that Shevchenko's zero-price acquisition can make a difference.
But AC Milan seems to be planning to do so. Shevchenko will come next season or winter, and at the same time, AC Milan is still renewing some old players who can't play at all.
Kafu is still considering, but the renewal of Serginho and Favari has been confirmed, waiting for the official announcement!
But why does such a player renew his contract?
Favali has been in this state this season. Sergio is not as good as Favali. They will still appear in the team's lineup next season, which means that AC Milan will definitely use them in some games.
From crazy investment to extreme constraints, although Berlusconi has not gone bankrupt like Tanzi and Cranioti, AC Milan seems to be taking the old path of Parma and Lazio.
Unfortunately, the club seems to have no intention of changing anything, so after a few years, Serie A will have one less traditional rich family and one more struggling nobleman like Parma or Lazio, which is by no means alarmist.
At the end of last season, Costa Cuta said goodbye to AC Milan, and the problem of defenders on the defensive line was finally pushed to the front. How long can a veteran player with his grandfather last generation last?
Among the current AC Milan's first-team players, 16 players are over 30 years old, 9 of whom are the team's standing main force. Relying on this group of veterans to meet the intensive schedule of the Champions League, Milan is really a little big.
In 2003, Milan introduced 30-year-old Rivaldo; in 2004, Milan introduced 33-year-old Dorasu; in 2005, Milan introduced 31-year-old Amoruso, 32-year-old Karachi and 32-year-old Vieri; in the summer of 2006, 34-year-old Favali, 30-year-old Oddo and 29-old Ronaldo, 2 9-year-old Stolari joined Milan; in the summer of 2007, they bought former Roma and Juventus stars, 31-year-old Emerson, from Real Madrid. Next, AC Milan's goal was Shevchenko, Zambrota and Ronaldinho, who was about to reach their peak.
In fact, when Milan won the Champions League last season, the team should consider changing blood, but every season the Rossoneri's signings seem to be painless.
When the team needed the center most, they chose Ronaldinho and gave up Adebayo, but brought back Favali when the team needed the defender most. If Kaka also left AC Milan, waiting for AC Milan to definitely collapse.
Of course, AC Milan's lineup is not useless now, but for such an old giant with a glorious history, it is undoubtedly difficult to have such a lineup in the new season with the increasingly powerful Fiorentina and Inter Milan.
Inter Milan spent a lot of money this summer and introduced Qiwo, which supplemented the team's weakness last season. After the upgrade, Juventus is also attracting and expanding its strength. Not to mention Fiorentina continues to be younger while retaining most of the players. Arteta, Macenna and Modric have made the average age of the first team of Fiorentina the whole European football world.
And what will the AC Milan nursing home rely on to compete with these teams this season?
And behind him, there are coveting Rome, Udinese and Palmo.
AC Milan is declining, and the Italian national team is also weak, which is directly related to the decline of AC Milan, the pillar of the league. Now, this team would rather sign some veterans over 30 than train newcomers.
At the peak of AC Milan, it contributed to the main defense line of the national team, including Maldini, Baresi, Costakuta and Tasotti, and the world-famous "reinforced concrete" defense line took shape.
However, as these world-class defenders grow old, AC Milan has gradually declined. In the past 10 years, Ambrosini has been the only one Milan has trained and been able to play in the game.
Odo, Bolero and other players trained in the youth training camp can only be recycled after playing in other teams.
Young talents such as Antonini, Abat and Donadale have no living space in AC Milan and can only go far away.
In recent seasons, AC Milan's practice of pursuing results and giving up training newcomers is particularly serious. From Favali, Pancarlo to Vieri, Amoruso and other big names who have been out of breath or have begun to land in Milan, forcing a talented young man like Abat to go to work in a foreign country.
The funniest thing is that the team's first signing last season turned out to be the old guy Favali, and the management still laughed secretly as if he had won the treasure.
Ancelotti seems to have never had the idea of giving young people a chance. Just like this important Champions League group match, Ancelotti is full of superstars and old men on the bench. Recently, Paroski, a striker who has been popular in the youth league, has been recruited into the first team, but he is still big. The list is not included either.
The issue of who is responsible for the aging of AC Milan's lineup has been debated for some time. Although AC Milan has introduced some "eye-catching" veterans in the transfer market, it is not that it has not failed to introduce new players, just like when Inter Milan introduced Mikhailovich and Grand Cesar, it did not Too much criticism, the key is the head coach's orientation.
Gurkuv is very young, and his talent and potential are recognized by everyone, but the player who was directly placed at the bottom of Ancelotti's plan as soon as he joined. Although he can get a chance to play, the young French genius has never been reused in AC Milan.
The first team is weak, but Milan's youth team is very experienced. In the recent Italian youth team training, in the list announced by coach Casillachi, AC Milan youth team became the club with the most players.
At present, this group of youth teams will be the right-age players for the 2008 Olympic Games, and another task of Kasirachi is to look for talents. Damian, Dijanaro and Paloski from AC Milan youth training camp have been recruited, but unfortunately, these young talents have not been baptized by the professional league at present.
At present, except for Maldini, only Abiati and Ambrosini are from the team's youth team. Unfortunately, both of them are old.
Milan youth training and Milan's front-line team did not complete the transmission work well. The members of the youth training benefited not their own families but the fat water to the fields of outsiders. Under the financial crisis, it is difficult for Milan to spend a lot of money to buy players, which is a good opportunity for young players, but if Ancelotti does not make some changes, the effect may still be zero.
When Degan saw that AC Milan's so-called attack could only revolve around the midfield, he was really shaken. No matter how much Kaka was suitable for AC Milan and how much he got in AC Milan, if it was such a team, there was no need for Kaka to stay.
No enterprising, no motivation, not even the little vitality!
Digan is really afraid that if Kaka stays in Milan for a few more years, he will become an old man.
Maybe it's a better choice to go out?
Degan, who was still dissuading Kaka from leaving the day before, suddenly had such an idea. From the perspective of a younger brother, Degan really couldn't bear to watch Kaka continue to suffer in AC Milan.
Didn't Berlusconi say that there is no need to change blood?
Then I will beat you to face the reality!
