Chapter 9 Tactical Center

On the first day of training in AC Milan, Degan didn't feel anything novel. He just ran the circle, grabbed the ball, and did some warm-up activities, but he also knew very well that the physical reserve stage before the start of the season was very important for a season's journey, no! It should be said that it is crucial.

Last season, Atlanta did not have enough physical reserves before the start of the season. As a result, in the second half of the season, the team had continuous injuries and physical problems. If it hadn't been for Degan's excellent condition and consecutive goals, would Atlanta have appeared at the end of the season? It's hard to say about the collapse.

What's more, a giant like AC Milan will face a three-line battle in the new season. If there is no sufficient physical fitness, once there is a problem at the most important time, it will be fatal.

After the morning training, Digan was talking to Kaka and walking towards the locker room. He was stopped by Tasotti. Of course, Digan is not unfamiliar with this Milan's meritorious player and current assistant coach. At the beginning, it was a match report of Tasotti that drove him out of AC Milan.

However, Digan has no hatred for Tasotti. When he came to San Siro for the first time last season, Digan ran to celebrate in front of Tasotti after scoring a goal, but he was as capricious as a child. Now Digan really feels a little angry when he thinks about it.

"Coach! What's the matter?"

Digan can't think of anything to do with Tasotti, apologize!? Don't be funny!

Tasotti looked at Kaka beside Degan, smiled dryly and said, "Carlo asked me to tell you to go to his office."

is coming!

Degan guessed that Ancelotti would find him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and he was the first. He also hoped to integrate into the team as soon as possible, and of course he would not refuse.

After talking to Kaka, Degan went to the door of Ancelotti's office with Tasotti.

"Carlo is waiting for you inside. Go in!"

Degan nodded and did not knock on the door. He pushed the door directly and walked in. Ancelotti's office was not big and very messy. All kinds of information and documents were piled everywhere, and it even looked a little sloppy.

Ancelotti was writing and drawing on a piece of paper. Seeing Degan arrive, he waved his hand and motioned him to sit down.

After Digan sat down, it took a long time for Ancelotti to put down the pencil in his hand and looked at Digan and said, "Rod! Can I call you that?"

Degan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course! Coach!"

Ancelotti nodded, handed the paper in front of him to Degan and said, "Look at this, I think it will help you!"

Degan took over with doubts and wrote a lot of names and countless lines on the paper. At first, Degan's head was big and he didn't understand what it meant by Ancelotti's ghost charm, but after a closer look, Degan understood that this was AC Milan's tactic, or It is said to be one of the offensive routines.

What makes Digan happy is that his name is also on it, which at least proves that his starting point in Milan is not low, at least Ancelotti took him into account.

Ancelotti's personality is slightly conservative. Before reaching a brand-new team, he strives for stability, and then slowly begins his own reform. Once the reform is completed, it is difficult to change, at most to repair it.

And Ancelotti is also very cautious about giving opportunities to young players, with the only exception of Kaka. The rest, such as Kolochini, Gulkuv, and even Gilardino, are difficult to get too many opportunities under Ancelotti.

However, after a closer look, Degan frowned. His name, at the front of the whole team, is the center position he likes, but this center is a little untrue, even a pseudo-middle.

The significance of his existence is to open the opponent's defense line for the second striker behind him, provide tactical support, and act as a bridgehead.

Degan is not the kind of person who likes to hide behind successful people and receive polite applause. What he demands on the court is absolute freedom, and if he wants to play, he prefers the protagonist rather than being a good passer-by.

Ancelotti has been observing Degan's face. Seeing that Degan frown, he is a little unhappy. In his opinion, young players like Degan should be more calm, obedient and execute tactical arrangements, which is the most important thing.

Although Degan has achieved good results, he is still a junior. Before Bierhof came to Milan, he was also the best scorer in Serie A, but what happened after arriving in Milan?

Differently, he has become a tactical center under Zacheroni, serving Via and Shevchenko. Degan is just a fledgling rookie. If he puts forward some unrealistic ideas, Ancelotti will never agree.

"What do you think?"

Digan heard the words and looked up at Ancelotti. He knew that if he said "no problem" or "I know" at this time, he would win Ancelotti's favor, and even win a place for him between the main force and the substitute in Milan, but this is obviously not Degan's nature. ge.

Degan has never tried to hide his ideas, let alone choose to compromise. What he wants is the core position of the attack. Degan has never hesitated, and Degan has never thought that he will be worse than others.

"Coach! I think I can take on more important tasks!"

In one sentence, Degan completely exposed his ambition to Ancelotti.

More important tasks!

Obviously, Degan is dissatisfied with Ancelotti's positioning.

Tactical center!

When a stepping stone on the road to success and become a gun rack when others bombed the opponent's goal, Degan is not such a cowardly personality.

Although Degan knows that in a team, someone needs to play those players who specialize in dirty and tiring work, he is like a protagonist.

Sure enough, Ancelotti's face became a little gloomy after listening to Degan's words: "Are you not satisfied with your positioning, or do you feel confident that you don't have the confidence to complete this work!"

Ancelotti's words were a little heavy, but Digan still refused to give in. In order to make an appearance, Digan had not yet grown that cheap bone.

"If this is also a role positioning, I am really not satisfied. I think I can take on more important responsibilities, and I am very confident in my ability!"

Ancelotti nodded, his face became more and more gloomy, and said, "Okay! I know, you can leave now to have lunch! I will consider your opinion!"

Considering!?

It would be strange if you would consider it!

Ancelotti was repressed enough by Berlusconi, the regent, and now even a young player dares to challenge him, which makes his heart full of anger.

Digan didn't say anything more. He got up and walked out. As soon as he walked out of Ancelotti's office, he saw Kaka at the door.

"Rod! What did the coach say to you?

Digan smiled indifferently and said, "The coach said I could take your place and let me drive you out of San Siro!"

Kaka was stunned when he heard the words, and then said urgently, "Okay! Rod! No kidding, what did he say to you?

Degan spread out his hands and said, "The coach thinks I can be the tactical center at the forefront of the team and provide tactical support for you big stars, wow! What a great idea, how about it? Rikado! Are you proud of me? I just came to Milan, and the coach has specially formulated a set of tactics for me! You don't have this kind of treatment!"

Listening to Degan's self-deprecating tone, Kaka knew that the first meeting between Degan and Ancelotti must have collapsed, which not only made him a little worried.

In fact, Kaka doesn't think Ancelotti's arrangement is a good idea. Degan's scoring ability is obvious. He scored 54 goals in a single season. I'm afraid no one can break this record after a hundred years. Such a goal machine is actually asked to be a tactical center, coupled with Degan's perverse personality. It would be strange if he could agree.

"You refused, didn't you?"

Digan looked at Kaka with strange eyes and said, "What's wrong? Do you think I should agree and compromise? No kidding, Rikado! I am proud! I will let him know how ridiculous his decision is!"

There is only helplessness left in Kaka's heart at this moment. He knows that Degan will definitely not agree, but as soon as he came to the team, there was a conflict with the head coach, and Kaka couldn't help worrying about Degan's future in Milan.

Digan saw that Kaka was worried and said with a smile, "Okay! Rikado! Don't think so many useless things. I won't give up. Even if I leave here one day, I will definitely have conquered here. Now, I will use my own strength to let Coach Ancelotti know that I, Rodrigo. Izeson. Santos. Wright! It's the best one on the Milan front line!"

Kaka was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You boy, don't stink!"

Digan smiled and said, "I can't help it. It's my strength that supports me to say this sentence!"

Degan is very confident, but it is clear that his journey in Milan has been overshadowed by the conversation with Ancelotti, and the difficulties that Degan has to face are far more than that.

"Hey! Boy! Focus a little. Do you want to report to the reserve team?

Digan sat on the ground with his legs split, turned his head and looked at Vieri, who was arrogant, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
