Chapter 76 Some people are happy and some people are worried

The weak AC Milan suffered a humiliating defeat at the Vlaki Stadium. After the game, all AC Milan players, including Kaka, were criticized by people. Not to mention Ancelotti, several substitutions in the game were untargeted and looked more like dealing with errands.

What makes the fans more unacceptable is that Milan has no interest in winning since the beginning of the game, and all the players feel lazy.

AC Milan, which had been worried because of the defeat, and Digan's remarks after the game have become turbulent.

Berlusconi, the resurrected Milan chairman, immediately criticized Digan's remarks righteously: "Our internal affairs in AC Milan are not the turn of an outsider to dictate. What I want to say is that Kaka's life in Milan is very happy. He will not leave the city. He will also be with me after the game. After a phone call, he expressed his loyalty to Milan. I think this is what everyone wants to see. Kaka is an important member of Milan and a non-sale product of the team, and I always firmly believe that he can succeed in Milan, as we have experienced in the past few years!"

Berlusconi's words reassured Milan fans a little, but the defeat is still difficult to accept.

Once upon a time, didn't Milan have an absolute advantage in the face of Florence?

When did Florence ride on their necks to poop and pee?

Shame!

After the game, even AC Milan's mouthpiece "Milan Sport" used such a word to describe AC Milan's defeat.

5:0!

AC Milan's last coat was fiercely torn off by Florence.

If AC Milan lost, after all, it is still the Italian civil war. Although the performance of the other three Italian teams in this round of the Champions League group stage is also unsatisfactory, not all the defeats are painful, such as Roma's small loss to Manchester United.

Milan Sport used the title "Good job Rome, this time it's not entirely your fault" to praise Rome's defeat at Old Trafford.

Indeed, Roma, who lost the game, was abandoned by Manchester United and scored 3 points with Sporting Lisbon. The next two fierce battles with the Portuguese basically determined their future and objectively put Rome into the second legion of the group, forcing Roma to be more nervous in the following group matches.

In four games in 11 days, Rome lost three times, from the leader of Serie A to the fourth place, and the qualifying situation in the UEFA Champions League group stage has also become precarious. These are all bad news, making Roma be careful of future signals.

However, after consecutive setbacks in the league, Roma can show off their football style with a deep Roman mark in the away competition with the Premier League champion, showing a balanced and calm game temperament, indicating that they are strides on the road to maturity.

In the whole game, Manchester United's scene is slightly superior, and it is reasonable to lead the ball control and steal data, but the comparison in the scope of the goal frame is basically the same, which shows that there is not much difference between the two teams in the end of the attack.

After careful observation, Roma's opportunity is better, which the Roma players also repeatedly emphasized after the game.

Pizarro said, "It's hard to accept defeat. We should win!"

Drosy said, "Has too many opportunities wasted? No, we have always been able to score a lot of goals. It's just bad luck this time.

In the first half, Totti took Jiuli's horizontal knock, broke through the guard line, and directly faced the attacking goalkeeper. He shot high from a small angle. Before the end of the game, Perota received De Rossi's ferry and kicked away with his left foot volley. Esposito was unguarded, but he flew the ball and missed three good opportunities.

Manchester United seized their best opportunity in this game. The goal was a flash of two geniuses, Nani and Rooney. Rome's overall defense was not a big problem. The whole team was still in the stage of reacting to the referee's decision after Totti's foul on the opponent. However, the referee thought that Manchester United was advantageous and the ball continued to operate, resulting in Juan and Aquilani are keeping an eye on people.

Compared with the 7:1 massacre last season, Manchester United only retained five main players, and Rome has changed more. There are only four people, Totti, De Rossi, Mex and Mancini Jr. The lineup has changed, the attitude has also changed, and the game has changed. Roma is very cautious, paying attention to maintaining the distance of backcourt personnel and defensive superposition, and attacking Not too much troops were invested, but the attack when the score was behind was also impressive.

No wonder the media praised the defeated Rome in unison after the game. Spaleti also said at the post-match press conference: "The result of the defeat is not completely correct. Judging from the performance of the scene, it is a draw. We didn't leave a little space for our opponents, and we also created some opportunities ourselves, especially in the final stage. Unfortunately, we didn't seize it.

While seeing progress, the Romans also objectively revealed their shortcomings.

Spaletti said after the game: "In the past few years, we have formed our own characteristics and are trying to maximize our strengths. We play with all our opponents, but we can't maintain a high degree of concentration or play a high level in all games, which is the biggest problem!"

Although the failure is frustrating, Rome finally ended the worst four consecutive games in the devil's schedule. The result of one draw and three losses could not make them happy. What made the Romans more uneasy was that they wereted excellent opportunities, missed goals, or could not turn their advantages into victory, or could not achieve a breakthrough in balance or backwardness. .

It's easy to think of the last few minutes of playing Manchester United. Perota's left foot volley two meters in front of the goal, and Esposito aimed at the two pieces that missed the far corner of the goal.

Roma's biggest problem now is that they lack a player like Batistuta or Montella. In the game, they always feel like they are thinking about how to make themselves more attractive. They must play wonderful scenes. Ordinary and unbeautiful balls are unwilling to score, as if they are entering. Such a ball is a sin and difficult to say. Therefore, their stability in front of the goal is not high, and they can always let the opponent see the vitality, scare the opponent, but will not destroy the opponent. Such traces can be clearly seen in many Roma games.

Spaletti also realized this and warned his players at a press conference after the game: "Don't talk about the referee's penalty anymore. We just want to miss fewer goals."

It's easier said than done. Who will score?

Except for Totti, there is no one in the Roma team who has the ability to continue to break the door. Everyone performs in turn, including the defender.

When Totti didn't work, the team was dumb.

Roma lost away from home, but their rival Lazio, who was at home, drew with the powerful Real Madrid at home. In the game, Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy scored two yuan to help Real Madrid lead the opponent twice, while the tenacious Lazio relied on their top scorer Pandev's two goals. , tied twice.

In the face of the team from Rome, Real Madrid remained unbeaten at the Rome Olympic Stadium, defeating Roma three times and drawing with Lazio once.

The first match between the two teams was in the second phase of the 2000/2001 UEFA Champions League group stage, and the two sides drew 2:2 at home at the Olympic Stadium.

Lazio has never fallen behind in Europe against La Liga. He has played 12 games, with a total record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. The most memorable game is the 1999 Winners' Cup Winners' Cup 2:1 to win the championship.

However, this Lazio is absolutely the same as the original. After Lotito came to power, Lazio has been insisting on small business. In the face of the Galactic Battleship, they have strengthened their defensive belief from the beginning of the game.

However, when the game reached the eighth minute, Real Madrid still took the lead. Sneid's free kick on the left side passed the crowd, and Fanny subconsciously pushed the ball with his right foot in front of the goal and hit the ball into the lower left corner, 1:0!

The score was behind, and Lazio then made a quick counterattack. In the 16th minute, Maury made a deep ball for Rocky, but Cannavaro took the lead in the tackle and destroyed it. In the 21st minute, Mutarelli's shot was blocked by the Real Madrid defender again. In the 25th minute, Rokki's exquisite direct pass to the unmarked Pandef on the left, but was blown offside by the referee.

Lazio almost equalized the score in the 30th minute. Rocky received Mauri's straight flyer to pick up the goalkeeper, but he faced Casillas, who was attacking, pushed the ball in the front half of the goal, but hit the ball away.

Then, Rocky tried to shoot again and was saved by Casillas. Pandev's shot was also blocked. Casillas became a wall built in front of Real Madrid, which was airless.

However, Lazio's attack was still in the 32nd minute. Zauli made a diagonal pass from the right side, Stendardo headed the ball in the penalty area, and Pandev's left foot volleyed the ball into the left side of the gate. Lazio tied it 1:1!

In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again. Lazio, who equalized the score, still wanted to defend, but in the face of Real Madrid's powerful offensive, their defense seemed to be stormy.

In the 61st minute, Real Madrid exceeded the score again. Maury's midfielder was surrounded by three people with the ball. Raul broke the ball and passed it directly from the back of his left foot. Van Nistelrooy broke into the penalty area against the offside and easily shot in front of the goal. The football passed the goalkeeper Balotta into the net, and Real Madrid exceeded it again 2:1!

However, the tenacious Lazio obviously can't accept losing at home. In the 75th minute, Majinwa broke the ball from the front court, and Pandev cut into the penalty area from the right side. After receiving the ball, he took the opportunity to shoot low with his left foot and hit the near corner. 2:2, Lazio equalized the score again!

Since then, the head coaches of both sides have changed hands frequently, but they are unable to rewrite the score again. In the end, the two sides shook hands 2:2.

Rome's two heroes drew and lost. Although the process of the game and the ability shown were amazing, the result was still disappointing.

Another Italian team, Inter Milan, has returned a little face to Italian football. The Nerazzurri at home in Meacha defeated Eindhoven 2-0, which was the first European confrontation between the two teams.

Inter's last match against the Netherlands dates back to the 1972 Champions League final, when they lost 0-2 to Ajax and Cruyff scored two goals.

In the first half of the game, Inter Milan set the victory. It was Ibrahimovic who opened the door to victory for them. The Swedish first won the penalty and hit the penalty, breaking the personal Champions League goal shortage in the past two seasons. Then he headed the ball twice and scored nine goals this season. However, in the second half, Qi Wu and substitute striker Suazo were sent off with red cards, which also cast a shadow on Inter Milan's next journey to the Champions League.

Overall, the performance of the Italian team in this round of the Champions League group stage is difficult to be satisfactory. Although Fiorentina won a big victory at home, it was still an Italian civil war.

Originally, the Italian Football Association was still looking forward to the five Serie A teams competing in the Champions League to win back the Big Ear Cup for Italian football again and help Italian football win some impression points.

What they expect most is Milan, but now it seems that Fiorentina is more competitive, but the lack of European experience makes it difficult for people to expect too much from them.

However, if you carefully analyze Florence's two Champions League group matches, whether it is away against Shakhtar Donetsk or against AC Milan at home, Fiorentina has an overwhelming advantage.

Empiricalism does not seem to be reflected in them at all.

All members of this young guard give people a feeling that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Even in the face of the defending champion, they dare to hold high the banner of attack and successfully suppressed AC Milan throughout the game and scored five goals.

Is the spring of Italian football in Florence?

Although it is difficult to accept this argument, this is the current situation. In the situation of Inter Milan's foreigner, AC Milan's overall weakness and Rome's two heroes lack of competitiveness, it is really surprising that Florence carried the flag of Italian football in the European arena.

"It's nothing strange. The best team wins. That's it. Of course, we don't care about the flag of Italian football at all. All we want to play is Fiorentina football. We will stick to it as always and won't let any fans who support us down!"

As a recent topic in European football, Degan said in an interview with reporters:

"So here I want to advise some people who are still full of old impression that the pattern of Italian football has completely changed. It is no longer the era of the top three in the north. This era belongs to young people and young Florence!"

The era of young people!?

Although Degan said arrogantly, it seems that it is not unreasonable to look at the gloomy Italian football now. Italian football, which is about to forget what vitality means, really needs a young revolution.
