Chapter 99

Bayern lost the game and was eliminated in the Champions League!

This is obviously something that everyone didn't expect before the game, because before the start of the game, Bayern's lineup was complete, and AC Milan was full of wounded soldiers. Even if it is a home game, it is not easy to defeat the powerful Bayern, not to mention a big score of 4:1, but all this happened.

Returning to the league, AC Milan continued their good state recently in the 28th round of Serie A and Empoli, defeating their opponents 3-0 at home, winning six consecutive victories in the league, and increasing their lead over Inter Milan to five points.

Degan still plays the role of a free man in the frontcourt in this game, and his partner is Inzaghi, who has just scored twice in the Champions League.

In the first half, AC Milan obviously had some physical problems due to the recent intensive events. The scene seemed very dull, and the two teams exchanged blankly.

In the second half, the situation on the court suddenly changed. First, Degan passed the ball on the left side of the penalty area, allowing Inzaghi to face the empty goal directly and break the deadlock. Then Girardino, who came off as a substitute, expanded the score. His header and the assist also came from Degan. Then, Degan won a free kick in front of the penalty area. The opportunity was a powerful volley and went straight into the net, and finally AC Milan defeated Empoli at home.

Immediately after the 29th round of Serie A, Degan followed AC Milan to Bergamo to challenge his old club. Although there were nine rounds left in the league, Atlanta's relegation was basically a fore. Before the start of the season and during the winter break, a large number of main players were sold, resulting in Atlanta The overall strength has declined greatly.

Facing his old boss, Degan seemed to be very weak. In the first and second half, he kicked his head and kicked the hat trick, and basically * his old boss was sent to the second level.

What moved Degan was that every time he took the ball, there were overwhelming cheers from Atlanta fans in the stands throughout the game. Degan also voted in return. After three goals, he chose not to celebrate.

Digan received cheers from Atlanta fans, while Riodo, the president of the club, received abuse from fans. As the defending champion of Serie A, the current situation in Atlanta can be said to be caused by Leonardo alone.

He is also regretting now. For the immediate benefit, Atlanta has become the virtue he is now, but the medicine of regret does not exist in the world.

After defeating Atlanta, AC Milan had to face the challenge of Udinese. In the end, AC Milan defeated the opponent 4-0 away and gave Udinese 9 consecutive games.

In the first half, Pirlo's free kick hit the crossbar, and Degan grabbed the mistake of the opposing goalkeeper De Santis to break the deadlock. In the second half, Gilardino and Degan went to the next city, and Kaka was icing on the cake with Degan's assistance.

The day after defeating Udinese, AC Milan's official website announced the renewal of Ancelotti's contract, which lasted for one year until June 30, 2008.

Ancelotti seemed calm about the success of the contract renewal: "I renewed my contract until 2008, and I finally chose to stay in Milan. In the past, Real Madrid was indeed **, but now it is over."

Previously, Ancelotti's contract expired on June 30, 2007. Previously, due to a poor record, rumors that Ancelotti might switch to Pope this summer have intensified. At the same time, Italian media are also speculating about who may succeed Ancelotti as coach Milan. As early as when Donadoni left class in Livorno, there were rumors that Donadoni might return to Milan to coach. Since then, former Milanese generals such as Ricard and Van Basten have been included in the list of Ancelotti's successors.

However, Ancelotti is not worried about not having a subordinate. Spain's newspaper As believes that Juventus coach Capello will return to Madrid, while Marca believes that Ancelotti will enter Madrid, while the Italian media believes that Ancelotti is more likely.

AC Milan obviously did not want this rumor to become a reality. Finally, after AC Milan's consecutive victories, at the behest of Berlusconi, Galliani began to fight back defensively and was extremely fast. Next, AC Milan will play Lyon in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Milan does not want to see the military disilated before the fierce battle.

On the day of the renewal, Chelotti had the last round of negotiations in Galliani's office and then signed the new contract. The new contract has not changed much in terms of wages, but Ancelotti has put forward some additional requirements.

Ancelotti asked Galliani to have the right to maintain the current lineup and have the right to freely select players in the transfer market this summer. AC Milan also hopes that Ancelotti will renew his contract for another year, but the contract to coach until 2009 will be discussed later.

Ancelotti has actually made the decision to stay in Milan a long time ago. Real Madrid's ** is impossible not to let Ancelotti move, but the changes in his career still need to be discussed more with his family.

Ancelotti and his wife Lucia discussed going to Madrid. They felt that they might not be able to adapt to let their two sons Kadia and David withdraw from the AC Milan youth team to Madrid. For family reasons, Ancelotti decided to stay.

Galliani successfully solved the issue of Ancelotti's contract renewal, and Ancelotti can now lead the team to prepare for two key games with Fiorentina and Lyon.

AC Milan renewed Ancelotti's contract. Obviously, there is little chance for Degan to continue. Although the two have shown that there is no contradiction between them on different occasions, looking at Milan's tactics now, you can know that Degan has never been in Ancelotti's tactical system. The reason why he can fight continuously is very big. Part of the reason is Shevchenko's injury and Berlusconi's request.

Before, people always felt that there was greater hope for Digan to finally win the palace fight, but now the mystery has been solved. The winner is Ancelotti. While Berlusconi and Galliani made this decision, they are basically doomed to the end of Degan next season.

Of course, Galliani doesn't want such a thing to happen: "Rode is an important player of Milan. He has performed very well this season. Although he has experienced a long period of injuries, look at the number of goals he has scored for Milan now. In three games, he has scored 35 goals, such a horrible shot Hands, we can't give up!"

Although Galliani is resolute, everyone knows that it is impossible for Digan to stay. Although he still has a contract with Milan, if he wants to leave, I believe that many teams will be willing to give him 35 million euros.

Next, AC Milan will face Lyon, the next opponent of the Champions League. Degan continues to start, but he seems to have been affected by Ancelotti's contract renewal. He did not play well in this game and was replaced early by Inzaghi in the 65th minute of the second half.

In the end, AC Milan drew 00-0 away to Lyon, and failed to win in the last four away games against France, while Lyon increased the unbeaten record at home in Europe to 15 games.

In fact, Digan also had a chance to score in this game, but in the first half, he missed three good scoring opportunities in a row. In the second half, Lyon took the initiative with his home advantage, but failed to knock on the away team's goal.

Back to the league, AC Milan reversed Florence 3:1 at home in the 31st round of Serie A at San Siro Stadium.

This game is a revenge battle for both sides. Fiorentina has been defeated by 0:6 and 2:5 respectively in the last two away games against AC Milan. But AC Milan lost 1:3 away to Fiorentina this season.

Maldini returned to the bench after recovering from his injury. He has only played 11 Serie A games this season. Costa Cuta is the right-back and wears the captain's armband. In Fiorentina, midfielder Donadale and defender Dainelli are suspended.

In the 13th minute of the first half, Karaze fouled, Pasqual's right side of the free kick with his left foot diagonally passed to the back point, captain Uifalusi pressed Serginho's header to the front of the goal, Tony stopped the ball in the chest in the penalty area, grabbed Fiori's save, swept his left foot half volley into the lower right corner, AC Milan 0:1 behind!

But Florence's lead did not last long. In the 20th minute, Costa Cuta made a cross from the right, and Florence was not far away. Pirlo got the ball directly at the front of the left penalty area. Although the two teammates in the middle were in an offside position, Degan on the left side of the penalty area was not offside, and his left foot kickback dodged. Jogensen, 7 meters in front of the goal, shot low with his right foot at a small angle. The ball went straight into the near corner from the armpit of goalkeeper Lobant. AC Milan won 1:1!

In the 47th minute of the second half of the game, the old and strong Costa Cuta hit the ball again from the right side. Degan quickly followed up and headed a little bit. The ball rebounded and drilled into the lower left corner. AC Milan beat 2:1!

In the 59th minute, AC Milan opened a tactical corner from the left side, and Pirlo got the ball and passed it low again. Gattuso suddenly shot hard with his right foot in the corner at the front of the left penalty area. The ball was bounced into the net by Lobant's palms, 3:1!

With a victory, AC Milan ushered in the Champions League opponent Lyon and finally defeated the opponent 3:1, but the course of the game was far from as simple as the score seemed. According to UEFA's official statistics, Lyon's number of shots has reached 16 times, even more than AC Milan, among which There is no shortage of threatening shots.

Fiori has been very stable since he took the position of main goalkeeper, and his performance in this game is not bad. He saved Juninho Jr.'s extremely dangerous free kick in the first half and Fred's small angle hanging door before the end of the first half. He was not responsible for losing a goal, but the media after the game He was only given 6 points, mainly because of his terrible mistake in the first half.

Shortly after the opening, Fiori received Nesta's cross pass. Facing Virtold, the ball bounced on the legboard. Wiltod first subconsciously flashed, and then saw that the ball not only did not go out, but also turned to the front of the empty goal. He turned around and took the ball. Forced by Karaze, he turned around and hit him high again.

Sometimes a detail can affect the scene for the next few minutes. This opportunity hit Lyon's morale. The first person to have psychological fluctuations was Karaze. A minute later, he wanted to protect the ball to Fiori, but he didn't expect Fiori to stand in the door and didn't come out. When Fiori attacked again, Fred took the lead. Knock the ball to Maluda, whose hanging door is slightly higher than the crossbar.

Lyon's chance for this game is not only that. In the 41st minute, Fred had a header that hit the outside of the goal post, and Fiori did not react.

AC Milan once again exposed the problem of lack of concentration that had not been seen before in defense. Lyon's goal turned out to be the top of the visiting team of three people competing in front of the goal, while AC Milan did not jump to interfere. The ball was picked up by Fred's teammate Chris, but then Diarra He made a jump header surrounded by three AC Milan players.

Many high balls have been hoisted into the penalty area, and the opponents can grab the point. Not only Fred and Diarra, including Govu, Kakapa and Chris, have the opportunity to grab the goal in the penalty area. Compared with the stability of some time ago, today's AC Milan's defense is obviously a little abnormal.

In the end of this game, Digan once became a key figure. In the first half, he had a beautiful left rib and two people to make a breakthrough. Unfortunately, his goal was blocked by Abidal, but then he scored three goals in 20 minutes in the second half and completed a hat-trick. On the Champions League scorer list, he was also super After Eto'ao, he ranked first.

However, when Degan defended in the 85th minute of the game, he got a yellow card, accumulated yellow cards and was suspended, and will miss the first match of the semi-finals.

Although Milan's victory is not beautiful, it is good that it won. The Champions League successfully advanced to the semi-finals. The whole team took a day off after the game to rest and recuperate. At the same time, it is also a reward for winning the key battle, but some people are not so happy, such as Simic.

In the game against Lyon, Stam was injured in 23 minutes, and Costacuta replaced him, because Simic was not on the bench and he sat in the stands of San Siro. Ancelotti would rather use the 40-year-old Costakuta than the captain of the Croatian national team, which obviously made Simic feel a little sad.

After the game, Simic said in an interview, "I'm leaving AC Milan in a few months. Ancelotti really disappointed me."

Simichi actually almost transferred last summer, because he couldn't buy a new central defender. Ancelotti negotiated with him after the last round of the season against Udinese, and then the two sides renewed their contract to 2008, but after Karadze's contract and changed to central defender, Simic's space became smaller and smaller.

Originally, the sudden decline of Cafu's state was an opportunity for Simic, and Simic also got some opportunities to play, but after Karadze became the central defender, Stam was put on the right side, and Simic's space narrowed again.

Although Stam played well as right-back, he was injured frequently. He was shot out due to injuries a total of seven times this season. Simic saw that the opportunity would come. As a result, 40-year-old Costa Kuta was suddenly reused again. In addition, Cafu has recovered from his injury, Ancelotti is still experimenting the horse. Ertini's right move, in addition, the club publicly said that it would buy a new right-back, and Simic was completely desperate, which is somewhat similar to Brochi's situation last season.

However, Simic himself also has some problems. He can perform steadily in many games, but suddenly there is a "head short circuit" in an instant, such as the 0-3 loss to Palermo. His low-level mistakes made Ancelotti particularly cautious in his use.

However, Simic's departure will also make AC Milan lose a good substitute. Maybe Costakuta, who will turn 41 next year, will have many opportunities to play next season.

AC Milan successfully advanced to the UEFA Champions League, but the Italian media's desire to reproduce the grand occasion in 2003 was ruthlessly shattered.

Juventus and Inter Milan have been defeated one after another, and the least favored AC Milan has become a unique seed of the Serie A team in the Champions League.

The league is about to enter the final stage. No matter how ambitious Ancelotti is for the league, he can only restrain his attention and turn his attention to the European arena.

In the 32nd round of Serie A at the Lecce del Marre Stadium, Ancelotti put Degan and other main players on the bench. As a result, AC Milan, who played as a substitute, lost 0:1 to Lecce, the penultimate in the league, suffered their first league defeat since January 15, and the gap between them and Juventus was widened. 9 points.

In the 33rd round of Serie A, AC Milan defeated Chevo 4:1 at home. In the first half, Pelisier took the lead in breaking through Milan's goal, but Nesta's rare goal equalized the score, which was the fourth goal since he joined Milan for four seasons. The last league goal dates back to the 2002/03 season. In the second half, Caca performed his first hat-trick in Milan and helped him. The attack was all his brother Digan.

After that, in the 34th round of Serie A, which began at San Siro Stadium, AC Milan won a 1-0 home victory over Inter Milan. After both sides missed several opportunities, Degan stood up again. He was injured in the first half of the game. After receiving a pass from Kaka outside the penalty area, he made a long shot. , scored the only goal in this game.

When he participated in the Milan derby for the first time, he scored a winning goal. After the game, Degan also received a lot of praise, but this was his first and probably his last.

Ancelotti renewed his contract, basically cutting off Degan's way to stay in Milan. Although he can be at peace with Ancelotti now, it may not be next season.

Digan doesn't want to pay attention to those things now. He just wants to do his own thing and try to play every game well, but it does not include the first round of the Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona. In this game, he can only sit in the stands of San Siro and act as a spectator.
