Chapter 32 Aliens arrive
In the 20th round of the league, Fiorentina faced Livorno at home. Livorno's last away game in Serie A's defeat of Florence dates back to December 1937. Judging from the history of the confrontation between the two teams, Fiorentina completely occupied an overwhelming advantage.
Florence, which has won four consecutive victories in the league, has also reached 23 points, ranking eighth in the ranking, only one step away from European qualification. However, Fiorence's goal is not only to participate in the European game. Their goal is only one, that is, the Champions League.
From the beginning of this game, Fiorentina has put on a posture of a big attack. On the front line, Digan partnered with Pacini, and behind him is Hamsik, who replaced Montolivo.
Florence has been playing so far, although it only needs a single-line battle, Prandelli insists on using rotation, so that every player can get enough playing time to prepare for the next season.
Except for goalkeepers Frey and Degan, no one in the team has a fixed position, especially on the front line. In the four games after Degan's comeback, he has partnered with Pacini, Mutu and Kavinagi.
However, the football was round. After being attacked by Fiorentina for nearly 30 minutes, Livorno, who was passive, took the lead in scoring. Lucarelli took the ball on his back at the front of the penalty area and turned around to get rid of Gamberini, and then shook it past Compani and scored the ball from the crotch of goalkeeper Frey.
The first to lose the ball at home made the whole team look a little flustered in the following games. The front and back fields were completely disconnected, and Livorno actually controlled the initiative of the game.
This situation lasted until the end of the first half. At halftime, Prandelli criticized the whole team, and even Degan was not spared.
Degan also knew that he did not perform well in the first half, especially when there was a very good opportunity near the end of the first half. As a result, Degan seemed a little hasty when shooting, too much to pursue the angle. As a result, he kicked Livorno's post and popped out the bottom line.
In the previous few games, he scored nine goals in a row, which made Degan a little superstitious about his state and inevitably made him bigger.
After the adjustment of the half-time break, Fiorentina began to return to normal. In the 68th minute of the game, Fiorentina finally equalized the score. Pazini's shot was saved by Livorno goalkeeper Manita. Degan followed up in time and made a make up for the net in front of the goal.
equalized the score, and Fiorentina also became more and more brave. Prandelli replaced Mutu and Montolivo to strengthen their attacks. Finally, when the game was held in the 82nd minute, Abate passed the ball on the side, Digan headed the ball, and Hamsik's accurate volley outside the penalty area overtook the score.
In the end, the score of 2:1 was maintained until the end, and Fiorentina completed the reversal after conceding a goal at home.
After the game, Prandelli also praised the team at the press conference: "Livono played very well and caused us a lot of trouble. Their counterattack was very sharp. We didn't do well in the first half, and I also criticized some players at halftime. I am gratified that they can adjust themselves. After the beginning of the second half, everything is on the right track, which is gratifying. The most important thing is that the Fiorentina we see now is a tenacious team that can maintain the desire for victory for 90 minutes!"
It is a matter of course and not happy to win with its overall strength. However, if it can achieve self-regulation and always maintain a strong fighting spirit in adversity, it proves that Florence has gradually matured and a mature team can Always maintain sufficient competitiveness.
Digan scored another goal. In the scorer list, Digan's number of goals has reached ten, but Ibrahimovic also scored in this round of the league. In the game against Sampdoria, Ibrahimovic scored a penalty in the second half to help Inter Milan beat the Mariners by one goal and also scored his goal. The number has increased to 19, and the gap with Degan is still nine.
Although the fight between Digan and Ibrahimovic is eye-catching, there is a more eye-catching thing this weekend that attracts people's attention.
Ronaldo's transfer has finally been settled. Although Ronaldo has basically reached an agreement with AC Milan, he is not qualified to represent AC Milan because some follow-up work has not been completed.
Just yesterday, Ronaldo, who completed the transfer, had his first training in Milanello and will hold a press conference today. Ronaldo is a controversial figure for Milan and Italy, but in the "degenerate" season when Inter Milan covered the sky with one hand and AC Milan's fatigue, his return is more like a strong man in Serie A.
Then Ronaldo also updated a message on Twitter, officially saying goodbye to Spain: "I'm leaving, I'm very sad, because I think it's like my home. But life has to go on. Now there is a new challenge in front of me. If I succeed in Milan, I will do my best in Milan. At this moment, my heart is as uncomfortable as a crack, but this is life. I have lived here for four and a half years, thanking the fans, teammates, and all the coaches I have experienced, except one.
No need to explain, Capello is that person.
However, the Real Madrid coach said politely: "I wish him good luck in Milan."
Then, AC Milan's official website officially announced the news of Ronaldo's joining: "Ronaldo and Milan signed a contract until the summer of 2008, which is the result of an agreement between Milan and Real Madrid. Milan paid 7.5 million euros to Real Madrid, which will be paid in two years without interest. The two sides agreed that if Milan qualify for next season's Champions Cup and successfully qualify, Milan will give Real Madrid an additional 500,000 euros. I would like to give Calderon 8 million euros, which shows that Ronaldo is really worth it.
In this regard, La Gazzetta dello Sport gave a proper title, "Ronaldo, the more you win, the more valuable it is."
Italian media revealed that if Ronaldo performs well next season, Milan will give Real Madrid 500,000, and Ronaldo's final price will be 8.5 million.
In addition, according to FIFA regulations, buyers and sellers need to pay a commission to clubs where players play between the ages of 12 and 23 to protect clubs that train young players. Real Madrid and Milan decided to pay this money together. Inter will get 112,000, Barcelona and Eindhoven get 37,500, Cruce Lot 213,000.
Galliani is excited about Milan's winter transfer: "Ronaldo is talented enough to replace Shevchenko. We have to thank Berlusconi, who has kept his promise to the fans. I'm glad that Ronaldo can say the word challenge. He received a better offer, but he still chose us, indicating that he wants to kick out of the hall with us. For this, we stretched out our arms to welcome him. This is the end of my task, and the rest is given to Milserman, the medical director.
Ronaldo also said hello to Milan fans: "I'm glad that the negotiations are over and I'm excited to return to Milan. I finally have the opportunity to compete fairly with others. I hope I can make the dream of Milan fans come true.
Ronaldo's official joining of AC Milan caused a lot of sensation. On the day Ronaldo joined AC Milan, the server of AC Milan's official website was once paralyzed due to too much traffic, and the number of visits reached 4 million.
Ronaldo's arrival will undoubtedly attract great attention, but when will Ronaldo play for AC Milan?
With Inzaghi's injury, this problem has also attracted more and more attention.
Milcerman, the head of the Milan laboratory, also introduced Ronaldo's situation later: "He is a little better than yesterday. He only has some small problems to solve now. Today, he has carried out more intensive training, so I hope his recovery time can be shortened. I used to estimate me. It will take at least a month before we see him appear, but today, we can expect a faster recovery. Ronaldo needs some training and some basic preparation, although he has shown some positive signals during the training without any problems. I hope he can recover in the next few days. He has to do some intensive training and aerobic training, and some basic preparations.
It is said that Ronaldo had a conversation with several key figures in the Milan laboratory last night. The conversation was mainly about his future diet. Ronaldo seemed optimistic. After the conversation, he joked, "So can I still have a normal meal tonight? ?"
About Ronaldo, Galliani also met Capello when he was in Madrid, who gave some experience. Galliani said, "About Ronaldo, Capello gave me a lot of good advice, and he also explained to me why he didn't send Ronaldo to play."
Ronaldo had said before that there was no problem between himself and head coach Capello, but he didn't understand why Capello didn't let him play.
Real Madrid coach also responded to this, saying, "Why doesn't he send him to the game?" I tell you, that's because he didn't do his best to train or compete in Spain. Yes, he didn't do his best. He told us that he would return to what he used to be, but we never saw it.
Subsequently, Capello also had no choice but to say that he did not want to have any language conflicts with Ronaldo, because he had transferred to other clubs, and there was no need to cause any conflicts between them.
"My favorite way of talking is the kind of face-to-face conversation, which means nothing to me through other people's paraphrasing or media representation."
In any case, Ronaldo used to be a player under Capello. In order to ease the hostility between the two before, Capello also expressed his blessings to Ronaldo at the end of the interview. He said, "I hope he can have good luck in Milan. I hope he can succeed in Italy for the whole In world football, I also hope that the once unparalleled Ronaldo can come back as soon as possible.
Ronaldo's joining of AC Milan can relieve Milan's worst frontline crisis, and fans are also very happy to see the combination of Kaka and Ronaldo in San Siro.
But soon there was a rumor that Real Madrid was trying to introduce Kaka.
Before Ronaldo went to AC Milan, Galliani said that Real Madrid and Kaka must say: "Kaka belongs to AC Milan, and he can't go to Madrid."
The bald chairman even used the word "robber" to describe Real Madrid's contact with Kaka. However, when Ronaldo's transfer was completed and AC Milan's relationship with Real Madrid recovered, Galliani was no longer as tough as before on Kaka's issue.
It was revealed that Galliani had told Calderon: "If AC Milan cedes Kaka, the first choice will be Real Madrid."
The question of why AC Milan's attitude changed before and after the transfer has attracted the attention of the Spanish media.
In addition to re-establishing communication between the two clubs and easing tensions, Rossello, Real Madrid's news director of AS, revealed more details.
In the process of negotiating Ronaldo's transfer between Miatovic and Galliani, Italy proposed to merge Lobinho into the acquisition, but this idea was rejected by Real Madrid.
Then, during the three-day negotiations between the two sides in Madrid, especially after completing the acquisition of Ronaldo, Galliani did not actually "negotiations will not involve any transfer of Kaka" as he promised, so as to stabilize the mood of AC Milan fans. In fact, the two sides did talk about Kaka.
Galliani's transfer to Miatovic is not impossible, especially after he has acquired Ronaldo and made a certain breakthrough in the process of introducing Ronaldinho, he offered a condition: Cannava Rodadia La Garobinho added a part of cash.
Only when Real Madrid agrees to AC Milan's above conditions constitutes the premise of Kaka's transfer. Madrid realized after evaluation that the cost of introducing Kaka will not be less than 70 million euros, and the transfer of appropriate players is the only way to reduce the acquisition cost.
The key to the question becomes the candidate raised by AC Milan and how much cash. Among them, Rossello revealed that Cannavaro and Robinho have the possibility of leaving. First of all, these two players are players that AC Milan once interested in, and their performance in Real Madrid is not the best.
AC Milan also had a desire to acquire Diarra, but unlike Cannavaro and Robinho, Real Madrid is more resolute on the issue of Diarra. The technical team and senior management believe that although his performance is not the best at present, he still has the potential to continue to tap.
In the conversation between Miatovic and Galliani, there was not much antipathy to the Italians' request to abandon Cannavaro and Lobinho's plan. The Serbs once proposed a compromise to replace Diarra with Emerson into the negotiations.
And before, Real Madrid also proposed a plan to use one or several cash to exchange chips to introduce cards, but Galliani was obviously not interested in these people, but tentatively asked Raul about the possibility of Raul's transfer. However, this was boycotted by the captain of Real Madrid himself. There are rumors that if Raul really leaves Real Madrid, he is only willing to go to Liverpool, where the Spanish have a voice, but Benitez prefers Atletico Torres.
Back to the issue of Real Madrid and AC Milan, if AC Milan accepts the negotiations on Real Madrid to introduce Kaka, it is certain that this will be a heavyweight transfer involving the exchange of multiple players.
On the surface, the conditions offered by AC Milan are unfair to Real Madrid, but the important thing is that Calderon can use the transfer to secure the current position of chairmanship and completely get rid of Florentino's shadow.
There has never been any secret in this world, and the meeting between Galliani and Calderon soon became popular on the European continent.
Kaka was still happy about Ronaldo's transfer yesterday, but then there were rumors of his transfer, which made Kaka very dissatisfied.
Because AC Milan let go of Digan in the summer, Kaka, who had always had resentment in his heart, completely broke out: "I don't like this feeling. I don't like to be deceived. Yesterday, Galliani was still telling me that I am the future of the team, the future captain of the team, and the most important thing for the team. But today I saw in the newspaper that he was planning to sell me! I think this is a betrayal. Just like when they wanted to sell Rod, Rod made a great contribution to Milan's final cup in the Champions League last season, but in the summer, he even received a phone call and became a Fiorentina player. I don't want to do this, if AC Milan If you want to sell me, you'd better say it clearly, not like now! I think this is an insult to me!"
Galliani didn't expect that the meeting with Calderon would make such a big trouble. He knew very well that all this was deliberately revealed to reporters in order to alienate the relationship between Kaka and the club.
Galliani, who panicked, quickly stood up and refuted the rumor: "All the transfer rumors about Kaka are not true. I don't understand why there are such rumors. Kaka is one of the most important players in the team. We are discussing with Mr. Bosco to renew his contract. He will never leave Milan and will never I will leave. I think many people want to see Kaka become a player like Baresi and Maldini and the leader of Milan in the future!"
Galliani's words calmed Kaka's mood a little, but this estrangement has arisen, and it is obviously not easy to eliminate it.
