Chapter 69 Forgotten

After the national team match, AC Milan ushered in a new round of the league. In the end, AC Milan defeated Cagliari 2-0 away. In the first 26 seconds, Gilardino took the lead. Since then, Shevchenko made a beautiful long-range shot, helping AC Milan achieve a four-game winning streak and continue to maintain the three-point gap with Juventus.

Due to injury and the impact of the just end of the national team match, Ancelotti made some changes to the lineup in this game: Costacuta replaced Nesta and Maldini as the central defender, Stam as the right back, and the left back was Serginho; the midfielder was Rui. Costa took the forward midfielder, Vogel dragged behind, and the front line combination was Shevchenko and Gilardino.

The game had just begun. Shevchenko headed the ball and rubbed it back. Gilardino squeezed the opponent away from the opponent in the confrontation with the other two defenders, but ran over. The ball fell at the feet of Agostini. The latter then decisively cleared the siege, but the ball hit Kanini and bounced back on the defense. In this flash of lightning Meanwhile, Gilardino, Lopez, Kanini and Agostino stood in a space two square meters square in front of the door, and the ball quickly popped out in the middle of several people. In this chaotic moment, Gilardino showed the instinct of a killer.

Maybe he should have finally reacted to the position of the ball, because Agostini took the initiative to relieve the ball. The ball popped up on Kanini and bounced in front of Lopez. Girardino had already run past, but looked back and saw the ball passing by him.

But at this moment, he reacted quickly, like a bloody wolf. He turned around and the ball was a little far away from his body, but he leaned back, stretched out his toes and stabbed in the air.

Lopez, Cagliari's captain stood and saw Gilardino almost close to him to complete this series of movements, and the goalkeeper Carini did not respond in time, because everything was too fast, although the ball slowly rolled into the goal in the end.

The lightning goal showed a lightning reaction, and Gilardino's goal reminded people of a person.

Fans familiar with Inzaghi may remember that in September 2003, in AC Milan's home game against Cagliari, a man was also the first to judge the route of the ball in the chaos and shot through the gate of Palyuka. This man sat off the court and witnessed Gilardino's goal and rejoiced for him. Inzaghi.

Two years ago, Inzaghi was the most beautiful shooter in Europe, but now, people can understand why the Italian golden boy Rossi called Girardino "Inzaghi's successor" because he does have the same archer endowment as Inzaghi.

Then, Gilardino showed what Inzaghi didn't have. In 24 minutes, Gilardino carried the opponent's defender on the left sideline, gently rubbed the ball to Sidov on the back of the ball, and then penetrated the opponent's midfield defense line; 44 minutes, Sidorff picked the ball into the penalty area, this time Gilardino Instead of taking the ball, it leaked cleverly. The ball just fell at the foot of Shevchenko moving horizontally. Unfortunately, Shevchenko's pass was hit by Rui. After Costa got it, the Portuguese had taken the ball in the left rib but was too stable, delaying the fighter and being destroyed by the opponent.

In the post-match technical statistics, Gilardino also had two threatening passes in addition to goals. In fact, having such a center with excellent ball-doing ability is equivalent to a creative midfielder in the frontcourt. Of course, don't forget Girardino's breakthrough with the ball. Although his description of "like Inzaghi, as strong as Vieri" was a little exaggerated, he did have the dual characteristics of an opportunist and a center.

After the game, Gilardino is proud of his goal: "My goal is very important to the progress of the game, and fast goals can often change the progress of the game. Today, Andre and I did our best. Next, we must score in the Champions League.

Gilardino performed well. Those reporters who fell in the wind will naturally praise it. They think that the Milan era belonging to Gilardino is about to begin. Although Gilardino's performance at the beginning of this season is average, like previous seasons, he will step by step from the low at the beginning of the season. When Gu came out, Girardino's trajectory coincided with AC Milan. Once he found the feeling of scoring, AC Milan began to stride forward.

With the recovery of confidence, Gilardino said that he is now recovering and has the potential to further improve his current state.

"I once fell into a goal drought, but now, in the national team and club, I feel like scoring a goal every time I shoot, and football is sometimes like this. I still haven't reached the level when I was in Parma, but I will do my best. My training is very effective, and my physical and mental state will soon be the best. It is very important to be able to score goals. Before the game, I believed that I would definitely score goals. I did.

Giladino and Shevchenko scored at the same time, which made Ancelotti happy. He can now completely forget Digan without hesitation.

In addition to the strength of the forward line, Pirlo's stand-in, which midfielder Ancelotti has been waiting for, finally has some clues in this game.

In this game, Vogel replaced Pirlo again and scored the second 6.5 points in 93 minutes. Ancelotti also praised Vogel by name after the game: "He has returned my trust in him with accurate and excellent performance."

If Vogel's how many Pirlo-style long passes have torn the opponent's defense, and how many long shots have threatened the opponent's goal, maybe none of them can be counted, and Rui. Compared with Costa's elegant ball control, Gattuso's ** shovel, and Sidov's dazzling fake action, Vogel is the most inconspicuous midfielder of AC Milan, but it is the most useful one.

Vogel passed 79 times in the whole game, ranking first in the team, and the passing success rate also reached 89.8%. In this relatively fierce and chaotic game, this is also a rare number one.

Vuger did not rely on such a number obtained by frequent back passes. In the post-match statistics, Vogel's accurate number of passes in the frontcourt reached 41, which is also the first in the game. After taking the ball in the middle, he quickly gave it to the forward in the most comfortable and direct way in the form of a direct ground ball. The front waist is the most common thing for Vogel to do in the game, and it is also the biggest difference between him and Pirlo. In contrast, Pirlo will try to hit the back of the opponent's defense with an accurate direct pass, while Vogel focuses on hitting his feet.

In terms of defensive data, the number of successful shovels turned out to be zero, but this does not prevent him from occupying the first place in another data: counterattack.

Vogel rarely shovels. Maybe in the middle of his position, he can't deal with the opponent's team keeper with an adventurous shovel like Gattuso. Position and timing have become his key words. When the opponent's ball is slightly out of control, he quickly attacks to take possession of the ball for himself. This is Vogel's Good at it.

For his performance, Vogel believes that it is indeed a step forward: "I'm very satisfied. I'm not bad today, and I've been happy to have more opportunities to play recently.

The bigger beneficiary of Vogel's rise is actually Pirlo. Last season, Galliani once said: "Only Pirlo in the whole team is irreplaceable."

This also made Pirlo fight hard for a long time in the later games and overdrawn in the final stage of the league. But this situation will not happen again this season. AC Milan has been looking for a "Pierlo stand-in" for a year, and now it has finally found it.

Maybe Vogel has some defects compared with Pirlo, such as less transfer and the ability to get rid of the opponent's entanglement, which makes AC Milan's midfielder look a little cramped and make more mistakes under the opponent's pressure today, but at least he has a common feature with Pirlo. He has a lot of balls and passes in the whole game. This is Natural "engine".

Another good news for this game is that Inzaghi has paid!

He last played for AC Milan and replaced Crespo in AC Milan's home game against Palermo on May 21, but in that season, he has been fighting with injuries, and the last game without injury dates back to the home game against Sampdoria in early March 2004.

After 19 months, a healthy Inzaghi came back, with ** and vitality. 8 minutes before the end of the game, Inzaghi replaced Shevchenko. At the end of the game, Shevchenko also embraced the long-lost teammate and gave him the best blessings and encouragement.

As soon as Inzaghi came on the field, he was like a wild horse. The opponent's defender Bega controlled the ball in front of his penalty area. Inzaghi stepped in front of Vega. Bega hurriedly poked the ball to Lopez. Inzaghi fell to the ground due to his excessive momentum, and people saw the energetic reason that he did not give up any opportunity. Zaji.

It's just that Ancelotti has changed the formation to 4-5-1 when he was replaced by Inzaghi. Although Inzaghi had a hat-trick in the previous warm-up match, Ancelotti did not expect to expand his lead.

In this situation, Inzaghi does not get much opportunity to perform. His best opportunity appeared in 83 minutes. His teammate made a long pass in the backcourt. Inzaghi stopped the ball on his chest for Kaka, and then made a direct pass. Inzaghi turned around and gave the ball to Serginho horizontally. The Brazilian passed a more imaginative diagonal ball and coordinated with Inzaghi. Inzaghi was really impressed. God will, but it's a pity that Serginho sent the ball too fast, and Carini's attention was also focused. He rushed to get the ball, but Inzaghi was only one toe at the same time. This time, it has been seen that Inzaghi's speed has indeed recovered well. Inzaji had another turn and breakthrough in 90 minutes, but was shoveled out of the bottom line by his opponent. After all, it is the best Inzaji, and dribble is not his strengths.

In the game, the most prominent thing for Inzaghi's feeling was that he had a strong desire to fight. In 85 minutes, when Stam took the ball on the right side, Inzaghi raised his hands from afar and kept shouting loudly, saying that he wanted the ball. Unfortunately, the time left for Inzaghi is too short, but this is definitely a beneficial attempt.

Inzaghi also commented on his performance after the game: "I did a good job today. I hope to be a useful member of the team again. I won't be in a hurry, but I'm sure that I hope to find my peak."

This time, Inzaghi really recovered from his injury: "My leg is running well now, and I don't feel any pain anymore. Last weekend's game with the youth team was an important exercise."

After a long injury, Inzaghi was so fierce as soon as he came on the field. Isn't he afraid of being injured again like Ronaldo back then?

"Fear? Not at all, because the fans and clubs are supporting me, I have never felt abandoned. I'm slowly regaining my best state. I admit that I haven't had such a feeling for a long time. This game is very important to me. I'm not afraid of getting hurt again. After all, I'm doing what I love most. I hope to play football with all my strength. Everyone in AC Milan has helped me. I feel It's enough to be respected. I don't care if I score 30 goals or not.

Shevchenko, Gilardino, Inzaghi, and Vieri, who has just broken the goal drought in the national team's game, seems to have lost Digan's position on the Milan front line, and he, who is still recovering from his injury in Belgium, seems to be forgotten.

This also fits Ancelotti's mind. Anyway, he has never taken a fancy to Degan. If it hadn't been for Galliani to force him to use Degan, Degan would have become a mummified corpse on the bench.

Digan did not become a mummified body, but became a patient!

This is simply no better for Ancelotti. Without Degan in the team, Ancelotti felt that the whole team had returned to his control.

"The team is in very good condition now. I'm glad to see Gilardino and Shevchenko score goals at the same time. This is good news for us. They entered a little slowly after the start of the season, but now everything is over."

Of course, some reporters asked Degan.

Ancelotti's face suddenly became ugly as if his clean ears were stuffed into shit: "His injury is completely his own cause. I heard that he stubbornly wanted to continue the game after being shoveled by Alberta. All I can say is that he is completely a personal heroism, which is not commendable. No one in the team is indispensable. If he is injured, naturally someone will be on top. Gilardino is doing a good job now. He will still be the main force in the next game. As for Degan's return, it depends on his state before making a decision!"
