Chapter 22 Unreliable AC Milan

Before the start of the new season, the European qualifiers of the World Cup qualifiers rekindled the war. After Italy drew Scotland away, they returned home and defeated Belarus 4:1. High strike Tony scored a hat-trick and Camoranesi scored the first goal for the national team.

The Italian team successfully qualified, but there is no good news about AC Milan. The reason is that when Gattuso publicly said before Italy's match against Scotland, "I did consider leaving AC Milan", almost everyone was surprised. Last season, the four teams were empty, and it was still an indelible shadow. Coupled with the recent turmoil within AC Milan, almost everyone thinks that Gattuso is likely to really leave this time.

However, Gattuso also has many reasons to stay, has a good personal relationship with Ancelotti, and is deeply loved by the top of the club. Moreover, for AC Milan's aesthetic football, Gattuso has made so many sacrifices by taking over dirty work on the court.

However, some big stones between Gattuso and Milan cannot be removed, and Gattuso's remarks this time have made everything public.

Among the AC Milan players, Gattuso is undoubtedly the most straightforward and frank. He will not have any diplomatic rhetoric. He was the first to raise doubts about the team's tactical play. Especially after the defeat in Istanbul, Gattuso also said bluntly: "We really can't look up this time, I I don't know if we will succeed next time."

All this seems to be without warning, but it is true. Why did Gattuso start to consider leaving AC Milan?

In addition to what Gattuso himself said about the pressure problem, first of all, unlike Maldini, Gattuso is a player who is willing to play for only one club in his life. Previously, he said directly to reporters: "I think it is reasonable for a player to change a club in three years, which is good for both sides."

Secondly, Gattuso is heavily influenced by British football. He does not like conservative Italian football in his bones. He has repeatedly publicly expressed his willingness to play in the Premier League.

"My football philosophy is very 'British'. I will always go back. In Italy, football is too skillful and focuses too much on technology, which is not suitable for me. My characteristics are more suitable for British football."

Finally, it is the issue of annual salary. Gattuso's annual salary is only in the middle of AC Milan, which is actually not commensurate with his position in the team.

From the perspective of the club, the team's defense line is fully aging, and Maldini and Costacurta are likely to retire at the same time next summer. Stam, Cafu, Sergio and other people are facing the problem of successors, and the team's blood exchange is inevitable.

But what about the money?

From an economic point of view, although AC Milan does not want to let go of the flag bearer, the transfer is also good for Gattuso and AC Milan. And his wheres is almost public opinion of the Italian media. Manchester United is looking for a successor for Keane, and Gattuso is the most suitable candidate.

AC Milan is likely to lose Gattuso, but while the club is also trying to persuade Gattuso to stay, it has also turned its attention to other players. At the core of Bayern Munich's midfield, Ballack, who is both offensive and defensive, is the biggest candidate among them. It was rumored that Galliani visited Bayern during the Confederations Cup this summer. The club's news, but because Barak's contract renewal was not smooth and the contract was about to expire, everything was finally put on hold. In the "potential goals" disclosed by Italian Sport after the closure of the summer transfer market, Barak's name was linked to AC Milan. Is this another omen?

In addition to Gattuso's intention, Milan's biggest problem is still in the defensive line. Maldini's recent training, accidental injury, Kaladze and Stam's poor condition, Ancelotti was hit again, and Janculowski's World Cup qualifier with Romania He was kicked in the left leg during the game.

After returning to Milan, the Czech wing received a comprehensive examination. Fortunately, the player who had just recovered from the left ankle bone injury did not repeat the tragedy, but the serious left thigh injury needs to be further determined, at least unable to participate in the first two rounds of the league and the first match of Fennebach's Champions Cup.

This makes the Rossoneri have to turn their eyes to the ball market. At present, the easiest player to get is Dras. The former Roma and Perugia defender has not signed a contract with any team and may be bought even after the transfer market is closed. It is easy for AC Milan to snatch him from competitors Sheffield United and Lazio.

The second is Bonera of Palma, who is very young and has accumulated rich experience in Serie A and the national team. Bonera can play all the guard roles. He did not participate in any European events, so he can play in the Champions League immediately after joining in January.

Of course, it is unrealistic to supplement the lineup. AC Milan's consistent purpose of introducing players is to go through a long period of observation before taking action.

But the league is imminent, and there is not much time left for Ancelotti. Although the first game is to face the promoted Ascoli, Ancelotti does not dare to be careless at all.

In the selection of the main lineup, Ancelotti's first needs to face the question of who is between Ambrosini and Gattuso. Ancelotti has been thinking about this question for a long time. In the summer warm-up match, Ancelotti chose Ambrosini. Judging from the effect, Ambrosini's state is obvious. It should be better.

And Gattuso has just returned from the national team and will be physically affected. His debut this season will be postponed to the Champions League against Fenerbach, while Ancelotti still intends to re-use Ambrosini in the first two rounds of the league.

There are many reasons for reusing Ambrosini, on the one hand, due to Ambrosini's excellent performance in the summer warm-up match, and more importantly, Ambrosini's header advantage.

Ancelotti is so optimistic about Ambrosini now because the player with one of the best header skills in AC Milan can often bring additional value to the use of his header grabbing points at critical moments.

In the past two weeks, despite the scarcity of Milan Nello due to the national team's game, Ancelotti has been practicing a tactical change. In a warm-up match against the youth team at 7:0, Ambrosini has scored two goals.

According to Ancelotti's idea, when attacking, Cafu was from the right side, and Ambrosini's position was leaning to the middle. Before Pirlo, Kaka divided the ball from the middle to Cafu. Cafu passed the ball. When Ambrosini passed the ball in Kaka, he quickly inserted into the penalty area from behind Kaka, forming Girardino and Shevchenko. The third outage point, which Gattuso does not have, Ancelotti hopes that this special weapon ambushed in the midfield will work at that time.

From the perspective of characteristics, Ambrosini and Gattuso have their own strengths. Ambrosini's sense of position, header, pass, and in-place control of the ball are better. Gattuso's one-on-one defense, catch-back speed, and forward ability to carry the ball forward are stronger. He can play differently against different opponents, and face For Siena, which has tall central defenders like Cudini and Roo, it is necessary to add a high point in the penalty area.

Ancelotti obviously made such an arrangement because of the impact of the national team's game on the physical strength of the players. In fashion, there is no need for him to do this at all. As long as his eyes can not set up automatic shielding items, he can naturally find a key person who solves all problems, but unfortunately this key The relationship between the characters and him in the team is basically water and fire.

The day before the game, Ancelotti announced the main lineup of the league round. The goalkeepers are still Dida, right-back Cafu, central defenders Stam and Nesta, left-back Carraze, midfielder Ambrosini, Pirlo, Serginho, Kaka, double forwards Shevchenko and Girardino.

Inzaghi was absent from the game due to a groin muscle strain, and Degan and Vieri entered the bench. Degan was thrown on the bench because of conflicts. As for Vieri, he suffered by himself.

The recent state of the Italian striker was really sluggish. The game with Scotland missed a good opportunity to score, Vieri's low state was criticized, and there was no chance to play in the game with Belarus.

But Vieri's off-court life is still wonderful, although Canaris and Sasha have completely left him.

However, Vieri is still a veteran in love after all. He can't find his old lover and continues to develop a new lover. The reporter caught Vieri and his latest girlfriend Ilaria. A photo of Damyko's hot kiss, but it was later confirmed that Ilaria. Damike is just a scene.

Before Vieri went to Glasgow with the Italian national team, the Italian tabloid reporter had captured the new trend of Vieri's love life. In fact, as long as the paparazzi wait for Maritti, a famous nightclub in Milan, it is not difficult to make new discoveries. This time, Vieri met the beautiful Sylvia here again. Although this beauty is not a big star like Canarys and Sasha, her appearance is not bad at all. The only regret is that the paparazzi have not taken a beautiful picture of Sylvia.

Now Vieri's main energy is all on Sylvia, and it is obviously not important for Vieri whether he can play the main force on the field.

Of course, Degan was dissatisfied with the status of the substitute, and this time, he did not want to save face for Ancelotti. After Ancelotti announced the main lineup and the list of seven substitutes, he left the conference room.

Don't give me a chance, as long as I catch it, and then I will slap your fat face!
