Chapter 29 One Step to become king
No one expected that Digan would be in such an excellent state in the first game after his comeback. Generally speaking, no matter how good a player is, after such a serious injury, he can't recover so quickly. How can he have an adjustment period to be normal?
But they all forgot that Degan is not an ordinary player, let alone a normal person!
Even in the face of the powerful AC Milan, saying that AC Milan is powerful, I don't think anyone will object. Even if it is tossed to the point of being half disabled by the phone door incident, and there are many mistakes in the summer transfer, but the donkey is not reversed. The thin camel is bigger than the horse. AC Milan's background is still there, and the main framework is still there. Speaking of the whole AC Milan is also stronger than Florence.
But this is the form on the court. Fiorentina is playing against AC Milan, and it is very difficult for AC Milan to attack the 30-meter area of Florence.
The so-called "experts" sitting in the studio analyzed for a long time and finally came to a conclusion that AC Milan was unlucky!
AC Milan's bad luck is not that they are not strong in their ability to seize the opportunity today, but that they are very unlucky to meet a tiger degan and recuperate for half a year. Now Degan's hunger and thirst for the game is not imaginable at all. Every minute and every second, Degan has worked hard. Li, he wants to score a goal and can't wait to penetrate AC Milan's goal with every shot.
"AC Milan's biggest mistake this season was to sell Degan. Ancelotti should now admit his stupidity. Players like Digan should become the absolute main force in any team, but in AC Milan, Ancelotti actually claimed that Degan was not in his plan. I really don't know him. What does the so-called plan look like? Is he going to form a cosmic team and then abandon Degan, who belongs to human beings!"
Previously, the public opinion in Milan was still on the side of Ancelotti, but now, seeing that Degan is in such a hot state, look at his two strikers, Oliveira is like sleepwalking. Gilardino is trapped in the offside trap of Florence and can hardly climb out. Up to now, the game has been two strikers There is only one shot.
Olivier's shot outside the penalty area didn't even allow Frey to make a save, but rolled out of the bottom line.
Milan's gun search will not stop because of a Ronaldo. Ronaldo can only be regarded as a transitional figure. If AC Milan wants to continue to guarantee the position of their rich family, he must be young in signing.
It will be a heavy job for you at the home of AC Milan Executive Chairman. Just three days ago, Galliani participated in the European Cup draw and was interviewed in Niang, Switzerland. Three days later, at the scene of the World Club Cup final between Barcelona and Brazil, the reporter once again Galliani was caught.
Gagliani has nothing to hide.
"We are investigating him, that's the Pato," Galliani said in an interview with the São Paulo State. "No, it's not January. We don't need a striker for winter transfers, but after that, we still have to find a good striker."
Galliani also talked about AC Milan's original plan in the summer. He said, "We originally wanted to introduce Ronaldo in the summer, but the price Real Madrid asked for is unacceptable to us."
For Pato, Galliani admitted: "We are examining him, and we will see what he can do to Barcelona in the final."
Maybe the later results will disappoint Gandini. Due to the strategic arrangement of the whole team, Pato can rarely get the support of his teammates on the forward line. In the game, he shot three times, but all of them were thrilling. Instead, Adriano, who replaced him on the field, scored.
Of course, it is impossible to judge a player in a game. For Pato, who is only 17 years old, it is enough to show his potential in the eyes of professionals. This is somewhat similar to Shevchenko, who watched Sheva's first game in Ukraine, and the latter played abnormally.
In fact, 17-year-old Pato only started his football career last month. His appearance can be described as amazing, representing the team against Palmeiras, scoring a goal first, and then performing two wonderful assists to help the team win 4:1, and then in the first match against Al Ahli in the World Cup. He scored another wonderful goal.
Pato has excellent football talent and often has wonderful improvises in the game, such as two assists against Palmeiras, one of which was a wonderful pass after several people in a row. In the game against Al Ahri, he also had three times in a row with his shoulders and chest to jump the ball, which was amazing.
Pato, who has just started his career, got a professional contract from an international club, with liquidated damages of 16 million euros, but this does not stop AC Milan's interest in him. Galliani's personal investigation is a signal, as Galliani said: "AC Milan will introduce foreign countries in the future. The target of the aid will be mainly French and South American players.
Pato is excellent, but he represents the future of AC Milan. As for now, he has been abandoned by AC Milan in the summer.
Looking back at Degan's performance, he alone revitalizes the attack of the whole Fiorentina team, which not only played a vital role in the attack, but more importantly, the existence of Degan activated the potential of the Fiorentina team.
Tiago, who was previously considered a failure. Silva, who played the emperor's superstar in this game, was completely put in his pocket like a child in front of his compatriot Oliveira, who also came from Brazil.
And Mota, who had been in an ups and downs before, probably Rijecard will definitely regret that he dealt with him to the Italian at a low price when he saw his performance today.
Under the leadership of Degan, the whole team of Florence has completed a big outbreak. Everyone is attacking and everyone is defending. AC Milan, whose overall strength is obviously dominant, is now at a loss and can only keep falling down.
The game only lasted for 30 minutes, and Kaka was tired to slow down. He received too little help.
In Degan's previous life, this season should have belonged to Kaka. With his excellent performance, he also won the World Footballer of the Year and the Golden Globe Award.
But~~~~~~
Kaka seems a little helpless now.
Last season, he played 4-3-1-2 smoothly. Under the unfavorable situation this season, Ancelotti began to pursue change. In addition to 4-3-1-2, Christmas Tree, 4-3-3 and Ancelotti have all played, and in this game, the 4-4-1-1 formation is also unexpected. Changes in tailoring.
Looking at the starting lineup alone, the configuration of Seedorf, Kaka, Gilardino and Oliveira can also be an "inverted triangle" Christmas tree, but in fact, when the game is big, everyone can see that this is a 4-4-1-1, Seedorf is still on the left, and Gattuso and Pirlo are in the middle. Position, Oliveira appears more often on the right side. Kaka's position swims behind Gilardino and is a shadow striker, which is about 10 meters forward than his previous position in the 4-3-1-2 lineup.
However, it is the short distance of 10 meters that has completely different requirements for Kaka's position. In fact, Kaka's position is more like a second striker, but for him, this is not a particularly suitable and familiar position.
Ancelotti once poured cold water on the reporters who proposed to let Kaka play forward when he scored the most goals: "Kaka is not suitable for a striker, because he is not good at holding the ball on his back."
In fact, Kaka is not not bad at handling the ball on his back, but in the front court with a small space, which limits the characteristics of his turning breakthrough. In addition, Kaka's ballless running and penetration are also quite different from the real striker.
In the combination of the frontcourt, Kaka almost played a sacrificed role. Facts have long proved that Kaka is not suitable for strikers. In the past, only took the lead by one goal, Ancelotti would replace the striker and add a midfielder to put Kaka on the front line to fight back, but there are few cases of using him as the starting forward. Ancelotti's transformation is absolutely not successful for Kaka himself. .
But Ancelotti also has his difficulties in making such a choice. In the away game against Fiorentina, AC Milan needs to strengthen the thickness of the midfield. Although 4-3-1-2 is the formation that AC Milan is used to, there are usually only three defenders in the midfield to compete with Fiorentina's 4-3-1-2 formation and the number of midfielders. The thickness is not enough.
This is actually consistent with Lippi's idea of playing 4-5-1 against the Czech Republic in the World Cup. Kaka played the role of Totti in that game. If you want to be the last striker, Ancelotti needs to give up a midfield.
Sacrificing Kaka and strengthening the overall defense cannot be said to be a success for Ancelotti's formation, but at least, in addition to 4-3-1-2, Ancelotti is trying a new formation, which is also considered to be poor!
It's a pity that Ancelotti faced the hot Degan in this game.
"Rod again! He broke into Milan's penalty area, and Dida seemed a little hesitant. He did not choose to attack at the first time. Nesta was leaned behind by Degan. Italy's best central defender now also looks a little embarrassed under the impact of Degan. Degan passed the ball. He was not greedy and chose to pass the ball!"
After entering the penalty area, although Nesta was squeezed behind by Degan, his current shooting angle is much smaller. In the past, Degan would have chosen to shoot with his feet, but after a serious injury, Degan is now much smarter. He knows when and what to make. The choice is the smartest.
Gently hit the ball with his right foot, Pazzini rushed over, Maldini was struggling to catch up, and Pacini shot at the first time.
Bang!
Pazini looked a little impatient, and his shot unexpectedly hit the crossbar of the goal and bounced back.
Pazzini's shot! GOODLUKEY! The beam saved Milan's life, and Pacini's close shot actually hit the beam!"
Pazini was ready to celebrate after completing the shot, but his excitement was smashed fiercely by a roar. His originally raised arms instantly turned into hands holding his head, with an unbelievable face.
Nesta's reaction was very fast. He quickly grabbed Degan's body and was ready to relieve the siege, but when he jumped up, he suddenly found a huge force behind him, so that he could not jump at all.
Digan was right behind Nesta. Seeing that Pacini missed such a good scoring opportunity, he didn't have time to be annoyed. He pressed Nesta, jumped, and his forehead faced the ball gently.
This goal crossbar can't save AC Milan, and the football is sure to enter the net.
2:0!
After scoring, Degan once again began his presumptuous celebration and rushed all the way to the sidelines. This time, he did not provoke Ancelotti again. He was not stupid and knew that the referee was staring behind him, so he chose to embrace Prandelli.
Although Degan did not come to provoke again, he still looked bad when he saw Degan and Prandelli hugging each other tightly. Degan had never enjoyed such treatment when he was in AC Milan before.
The Florence fans at the scene were crazy again. They didn't expect to enjoy such a wonderful performance at the Flagy Stadium today. Degan's hot state also ignited their **. The tsunami-like cheers on the stands made the earth under their feet tremble.
AC Milan's players surrounded the referee at the first time and protested loudly, signaling Digan to push Nesta before scoring.
"Fouled! He fouled! This ball can't be counted!"
"This goal doesn't exist at all!"
It is a habit for Italian players to like to complain to the referee, but like today, the scene of besieging the referee is really rare. It can be seen that AC Milan's players are also anxious now.
They now need a victory to save the team's decline. Although AC Milan is in good condition in the Champions League. With Kaka's excellent performance, the group successfully qualified, their situation can only be described as miserable in the league.
Especially looking at the same city's sworn enemy Inter Milan, which has won consecutive victories. Since the season, it has maintained an unbeaten record, and AC Milan's self-esteem has been severely stimulated.
There was no hatred between the two sides in this scene against Fiorentina, but because of the relationship of some players, the game attracted much attention. In the past, AC Milan's attitude towards Fiorentina was completely overlooking, but now, even in the away game, it is difficult for them to accept that they are led by two goals by the opponent.
However, the referee obviously does not want to take care of AC Milan's emotions. Because of the phone gate incident, now all referees will be particularly strict when enforcing Milan's game. After all, no one wants to be involved in the dark story.
The goal is valid!
Although AC Milan's players are unwilling, they can only accept it helplessly when they see that the referee has made a choice.
In the next game of the first half, Fiorentina still had an overall advantage on the field, and AC Milan's morale was obviously hit.
Finally, in the first half of the game, Fiorentina took the lead of two goals and entered the halftime.
When Degan left the field, all the Florentine fans at the scene stood up and applauded him. Even some fans were shouting: "King! King!"
A player who has only played half a game for the team can actually enjoy such treatment. Degan is also unprecedented.
In the locker room, Ancelotti was losing his temper. Before the first half of the game was over, he left early, sat in the locker room, calming his chaotic brain and trying to find a solution to the problem, but unfortunately, all he could do was to get angry like now!
Probably Ancelotti wants to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players in this way, but looking at the depressed appearance of the players, it is obvious that the effect is not obvious.
"Are you going to accept a failure?"
The players' eyes are a little emotional, and no one wants to admit defeat, but what they need most now is Ancelotti to give a solution to the problem.
Everyone knows how to control AC Milan's offensive, as long as they can defend Degan, but who can defend Degan and control Degan? Does AC Milan have such a person now?
Nesta is the world's first central defender. His experience and skills are still there, but as he grows older, coupled with constant injuries, he suffers too much physical losses when he fights against Degan. Often as for a reasonable collision, coupled with speed advantage, Nesta can make Nesta helpless.
Not to mention Maldini, he is a great player, but greatness can't be eaten. Using Maldini to defend Degan is tantamount to death.
Gattuso is good, but when Gatso is returned to the backcourt defense, the defense of AC Milan's middle road is empty. Montolivo, Albertini, Mota and Ledesma all have a heavy shot.
What should I do?
Ancelotti doesn't know either!
Ancelotti, the boss, doesn't know what to do, and the players are even more confused. Their determination to win the game is beyond doubt, but they don't know how to win and what to do next.
In AC Milan's locker room, the atmosphere is constantly freezing, freezing and freezing!
Kaka looked at his teammates around him and could only sigh in his heart: "If Degan is still there, the situation may be completely different!"
Kaka is excellent, but he can't play the savior in every game. Every game depends on one person's ability to lead the team to victory!
As for others, they are even more confused!
