Chapter 70 Happy and Sad
Digan received conservative treatment in Belgium, and AC Milan continued their victory in the league. Especially after Gilardino started the outbreak mode, Degan seemed to have really become a dispensable person.
Ancelotti is happy. He doesn't have to face someone he hates every day!
The fans are also happy. They don't have to boo every game, and they are always afraid that Digan will slap them in the face.
Especially after Inzaghi's comeback, Degan was injured at this time, leaving him basically no place on the Milan front line. Some media are even saying that it's time to leave!
The outside world is disturbed, but Degan is recuperating from his wounds. He doesn't care about those bullshit at all. Degan has always been confident in his strength.
Since some people are jubilant and jumping because of his injury, Degan naturally doesn't mind waiting for him to go back and slap them in the face.
If you don't die, you won't die!
I can see that the lessons given to them before are still not enough!
The injury made Degan depressed, but if this little thing could knock Degan down, he would not have endured for so long in Milan and pulled Fatty An's fat face into a pig's head.
After learning the news of Degan's injury, Avril flew to Brussels to accompany Degan for a few days, but because the recording of the new album had reached the most critical time, she had no choice but to separate from Degan and fly back.
Although Digan is a little reluctant, Avril has her own job, and he doesn't want to tie his girlfriend to his side all day.
In the middle of the week, Degan received another call from Kaka. This time, it was not good news for Degan.
Extreme happiness makes me sad!
Ancelotti is like this. He just defeated Cagliari 2-0 in the league, followed by AC Milan at home by Eindhoven, and this time the front line was collectively dumb, and Shevchenko was injured.
Maybe Ancelotti did not expect Shevchenko to be injured in the middle of the game, so he insisted on letting Shevchenko play with an injury in the second half. When the Ukrainian nuclear warhead could not support it, Ancelotti found that he should not put Giladino in the stands instead of the bench and wear thick feathers. Gilardino in a velvet suit watched his teammates fighting hard in the stands. The young striker who had just entered the form could not help the team. Perhaps this "zero goal" battle was doomed when the list was announced.
How can Gilardino be put out of the list?
Just because Ancelotti feels that the cards in his hand are so good that even if they are matched at will on the front line, he can bombard the opponent's goal into scum.
So in this game, Ancelotti put Vieri by Shevchenko's side and Inzaghi, who had just recovered from injury, on the bench, as for the young Gilardino!
Young people, there are plenty of opportunities!
But it was Ancelotti's stinky move that made Milan lose two points. In the technical statistics after the game, several authoritative media gave Vieri the lowest 5 points at the same time.
At the post-match press conference, many reporters were also asking about Ancelotti Vieri, who adhered to his always rotten style and told lies with his eyes open: "Vieri has done a good job. He has completed his work, and he is not the only one today. Those who didn't score goals.
Indeed, Vieri's performance was not so unbearable. In the second half, his header even almost helped Gattuso's pass Inzaghi to score, but it must be noted that Vieri's performance improved after Shevchenko's appearance, and at that time, his position also changed intentionally and unintentionally. In fact, among Vieri and Inzaghi, they frequently retreated from the midfield to catch and catch the ball. In the two side requirements, even completed two passes, and it was Inzaghi who was waiting to grab the point in the penalty area. In other words, between Inzaghi and Vieri, Vieri played the role of the second striker, and Inzaghi was the second A striker.
But when Shevchenko was present, Vieri couldn't do that. He needed to make sacrifices, otherwise no one would withstand the opponent's central defender at the forefront. However, in the conversation with Eindhoven defender Alex, Vieri was completely "blocked" by the opponent. No matter the header or breakthrough, he could not overcome the block in front of him. Wall.
Not only Vieri can't cross the wall of Alex. In fact, AC Milan has never had a good way to face the back line of Eindhoven throughout the game. 80% of the shooting opportunities are long-range shots, and although there are shots in the penalty area, they lack absolute opportunities.
What does this mean?
It shows that AC Milan's attack can't penetrate the opponent's penalty area at all, which is related to the opponent's "zero attack" and AC Milan's own configuration.
AC Milan did not have many opportunities in the previous game against Treviso, but because of the strong fulcrum of Degan on the forward line, even if they play less and more in the front court, they can still penetrate into the opponent's penalty area.
Of course, Digan is injured now, and it is useless to take him out to bask in the sun, but without Digan, Gilardino can also complete these tasks. He can control the ball in the opponent's penalty area, shoot, or shoot, or do it to his teammates, and give it to Gattuso and Rui against Cagliari. Costa's two balls were completed surrounded by two or three defenders, and in the attack with Shevchenko, Gilardino's back to the opposing defender, and Shevchenko's cooperation in running horizontally to catch the ball is a classic case of completion of penetration. Such an example is rarely seen among Vieri and Shevchenko's partners. Vieri is more detailed about the retreat and can take the ball under relatively loose conditions. Once he hits the opponent's penalty area, he can't hold the ball under the opponent's pressure, let alone make the ball. At least now Vieri can't do it. Without the striker's return, he can play forward from the back. Of course, there is only a long shot left.
In this game, Ancelotti's substitute list includes substitute goalkeeper Karachi, defenders Costakuta, Jankulovski, midfielder Vogel and Rui. Costa and striker Inzaghi.
Judging from the final result, maybe Vogel can not be on the list, because Jankulovski can play the left midfield, and even if Pirlo is to be replaced, Sidov can play his position, so that Inzaghi, who has only played 10 minutes after recovering from his injury, plays an important role in such an important game. It is Ancelotti. The biggest defeat.
Ancelotti's original intention may have been to let Inzaghi play to continue to look for the feeling of the game when the victory has been decided, but the result was to let Inzaghi rush to play. Although Inzaghi did a good job, the result can also be imagined.
Now the Italian media mention Gilardino as soon as they mention Vieri's goal shortage. In fact, the state of the two is different. Girardino's current goal rate has exceeded that of the same period last season, while Vieri's situation is a little abnormal, but Ancelotti has also entered this misunderstanding. Now Vieri and Giladino It is somewhat strange that he is still evenly divided the number of partners with Sheva.
While people are still talking about the "bad state" of Gilardino and Vieri, Gilardino has handed in a satisfactory answer. If Vieri hadn't occupied Gilardino's place in some games, Gira might have been at the top of the Serie A striker list, but for him, there is still a chance.
Ancelotti can still remedy Girardino's problem, but why was Shevchenko injured? His injury actually hides some inevitability.
Since the start of the Serie A, Shevchenko has played a total of 7 league games, 3 UEFA Champions League and 3 national team games, a total of 13 games. The game load has been a little too much. From this game, it can also be seen that after a continuous period of excellent state, Shevchenko seems to be a little slow. First, Pirlo's long pass was stopped behind him during the game, turning an opportunity that might have become a single shot into a mid-range shot. After that, Pirlo's direct pass was slightly slow to start.
Finally, this moment came. When the game reached the fortieth minute, the opportunity also came from Pirlo's long pass. At the normal speed, Shevchenko must be able to catch up, but this time, he was a little overwhelmed. Near the bottom line, he jumped up to hook the ball that was about to fly out of the bottom line. Lu's Vieri, but there was no hook. This time, he obviously pulled his thigh too hard. Before the end of the first half, he made a gesture of substitution to the coach's seat.
However, after the half-time break, after a short emergency treatment, Shevchenko came on the stage again and created an opportunity in less than a minute.
Sedov made a long shot, and the opponent's goalkeeper got out of his hand. Shevchenko followed up and got the ball, but it was the sudden step of his legs that the injury worsened again, and his expression came out from behind the goal in pain, made another gesture of substitution, and walked to the bench. Inzaghi made a hasty appearance after a short preparatory activity.
Just before this game, Ancelotti was still talking about the "rotation system", but at the same time pointed out that "shevchenko is the only one that cannot be rotated". On the surface, it is true that he really relies too much on Shevchenko, but after all, now that a team has nearly 60 games a season, players can't play every game, and they have to wait until they are injured. Is it time to rotate?
Since Shevchenko is a key player in the team, he should be protected and let him compete in the best physical condition in every game. As Maldini said, "the rotation system needs to continue", but it is still "pseudo-rotation" to only rotate the main players without rotating the core players.
