Chapter 51 Champion and Champion?
After defeating Inter Milan away, Moratti's dream of celebrating the league championship at home has come to nothing. After the game, the big boss looked very disappointed when he was interviewed by reporters, but his pitiful appearance made Digan feel as if he had really done something immoral.
In addition, the competition with Ibrahimovic about the striker king has basically ended, with a difference of five goals, and in the next few rounds, except for facing AC Milan, a strong opponent in the last round of the league, Lazio can basically make the current Fiorentina. Some trouble.
Although the Swedish still refuses to admit defeat, everyone knows that it is no longer possible for Ibrahimovic to catch up again.
In the Champions League in the middle of the week, AC Milan, which was not favored by people before the game, lost in the away game. 2:3, AC Milan lost at the foot of Manchester United, but Kaka's two away goals left hope for AC Milan's fans.
That game was basically Kaka's madness, especially the second goal. Kaka challenged the whole back line of Manchester United with the strength of one person. Argentina's famous player Heinze played a * board in the process of scoring.
After the game, some media even exclaimed: the new European emperor ascended the throne!
But Kaka said in an interview: "If Rod is there, we can be the winner!"
It seems that in order to prove what Kaka said, in the 33rd round of the league on the weekend, Fiorentina challenged Lazio away and Degan scored a hat-trick again.
The two teams were equal in the first half, but in the second half, the situation on the court suddenly changed. In the 53rd minute, Degan's free kick outside the penalty area helped the team break the deadlock. Then in the 68th minute, Fiorentina launched a counterattack, Pasquale made a cross from the left, and Degan headed the ball forward, Peruzi Although he made a save, he was unable to return to the sky. The goal was pierced by Degan for the second time. In the 73rd minute, the old goalkeeper Peruzi made a major mistake when he attacked again. Pacini's peripheral shot was blocked, and Jogensen passed the ball to Degan. Degan grabbed the goal again before Beli was blocked and scored with a header.
Ibrahimovic also scored in this round. His goal helped Inter Milan win the first league championship trophy since the 1988/1989 season, but he could only watch Dugan go on the scorer list.
37:30!
Ibrahimovic's expected victory has disappeared, but after 18 years of infatuation, Inter Milan finally won the first Serie A championship trophy in the 1988/89 season.
18 years ago, the gold medal leader Trapatoni led Bergomi, Mateus, Bremer and other blue and black heroes to create 26 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, becoming an insurmountable peak in Serie A in the two-point era. Even if converted to a three-point system, this point record was not surpassed by Juventus until the 2004/05 season, and Juventus played four more rounds than Inter at that time.
In the 2006/07 season, Inter Milan equalized the score after winning the championship 18 years ago with only 33 rounds, and once had a chance to break 100 points.
After winning the championship, who is the stronger compared with the two generations of the Nerazzurri?
Trapatoni has been asked this question at the beginning of this year: "If you want to ask me which team is stronger, I prefer Mancini by 51% and 49% by myself."
1% difference contains more polite elements. Analyzing the various details of the two generations of champion teams, people can find many interesting similarities and differences.
1988/89 Inter Milan's main lineup: Zengga/Bergomi, Ferri, Matoli, Bremer/Mandolini, Bianche, Berti, Mateus/Dias, Serena.
Main substitutes: Grand Baresi, Wildley, Fana, Morello.
2006/07 Inter Milan main lineup: Cesar/Macon, Samuel, Cordoba, Grosso/Zaneti, Vieira, Stankovic, Figo/Crespo, Ibrasimovic.
Main substitutes: Dakota, Adriano, Samuel, Brdiso, Maxwell, Cambiaso, Cruz, Solari.
In-depth comparison of the lineup, the two generations of champions are referred to as "Old International" and "New International". The main lineup of New International this season is actually very vague. Individual positions have changed a lot due to injuries. Samuel, Materazzi, Grosso, Vieira and Dakota are difficult to determine who is the main force. Mancini's starting midfielder Cambiaso has almost been off for half a season, and only Cezar and Mai are stable. Kong, Sanetti and Stankovic. The main lineup of the old international is very stable, with more than a dozen people playing more than 30 times in 34 rounds of the league, basically relying on a set of people to play from scratch.
But in terms of substitutes, the rotation system produced by modern football was unimaginable by Trapatoni at that time. The old international used a total of a few substitutes in a season. Under Mancini, the number of players in the league almost covered the whole team, and the depth of the bench was far higher than that of Trapatoni, the old international At that time, he also had to participate in the three-line matches of the League, Coppa Italia and the UEFA Cup, and the burden was no less than now. Mancini had a great advantage in terms of lineup resources.
Comparing the lineup structure, maintaining a strong and stable foundation, coupled with fresh blood supplement, can create a championship team, and both generations of Inter Milan conform to this law.
Relying on a group of veteran ministers represented by Bergomi, the old international introduced Mateus and Bremer after the 1988 European Cup and recruited Argentine famous Dias. Three new foreign aids contributed greatly to the team. Mancini also synthesized the team in the first two seasons and introduced Vieira, Ib and McCon this season to bring the team to a higher level.
Now Inter Milan is a real "international" Milan, and only four Italians have appeared in the league this season. Among Trapatoni's champion team, there are only three foreign aids, Bremer, Mateus and Diaz, which is a great contrast.
The age structure of the old international is very perfect. Zenga, Bremer, Mandollini, Mateus, Dias and Serena are all in the golden moment. Bergomi and Ferri are playing, midfielders Bianche and Berti are energetic, and Big Baresi and Farna on the bench are experienced. Such a set of rich and long-term It is not surprising that the tested lineup has played steadily throughout the season.
In contrast, Inter Milan in the 2006/07 season favored aging. Cesar, Sanetti, Grosso, Cordoba, Materazzi, Dakota, Vieira, Figo, Crespo, Cruz, Solari and Rekoba are all over 30 years old, Stankovic is 28 years old, Ib, Maxwell, McCon, Ade and Cambiaso are on the rise, and only Ann is under 24 years old. Drioli and Malofi, but these two are basically soy sauce. Although aging has reduced the fluctuation of the team, it is easy to lead to an increase in injuries. If Mancini does not add new players as soon as possible, the establishment of a second "big international era" can only be empty talk.
Three-line strength competition, back defense, 18 years ago, Mancini witnessed the top of the old international as a player. Inter Milan scored the most goals and conceded the least goals that season, and was a well-deserved king.
Inter Milan's attack power this season is superior to the heroes, but the number of goals conceded is with
Rome, Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina are almost the same. It's easy to understand if you look at Inter Milan's defender line: Materazzi and others are the type of attack and defense, and Zanetti, who has the best defense, has been pushed to the midfield. Compared with previous seasons, Inter Milan's defense has indeed improved, but it has not reached 18 years ago. Height. Zengga, Bergomi and Ferri were Italy's main international players in the old international team, and Germany's top left-back Bremer and local defender Matoli represented the highest defensive level in world football at that time. It is not an exaggeration to say that Trapatoni won the championship by defense.
In the midfield, Bianchi and Berti are starting out, Mandolini is simple and unpretentious. The old international midfielder looks only Mattius, and Mateus himself also pursues efficient pragmatism. The midfield under Trapatoni is in line with the traditional Italian style: focusing on interception, simplicity and efficiency.
Mancini has completely transformed the team from Cooper's ugly play to a pleasing technical flow. Cambiasso, Stankovic and Figo are all masters of transmission control. Vieira, Dakota and other midfields are also delicate. New International plays more beautifully and more in line with the development trend of modern football.
In the front line position, compared with the "five strikers" in Mancini's hand, Trapatoni can only rely on Serena and Díaz, plus the support of Mateus, without rotating one as two.
Trapatoni once commented on the difference between the two generations of Inter Milan's offensive: "The current team lacks a role similar to Mateus, and I don't have Ibrasimovic."
In a sense, the difference between Mateus and Ibrasimovic may represent the difference between the new and old Inter Milan.
What the two generations of Inter Milan have in common is that the three lines are mature and have no obvious defects. The head coach's strategy and tactics are right, surpassing other teams in terms of competitive level. Summarizing successful experience is the prerequisite for the next success. At present, this Inter Milan still has many shortcomings. Moratti and Mancini need to consider how to replicate success and avoid waiting for another 18 years.
In 18 years of winning the championship, Inter Milan fans have been waiting for too long. They hope to recreate the glory of the era of the United States, but this glory is not simply to get.
Now this Inter Milan is not perfect, and there are still many defects. First of all, Mancini, the head coach, has no problem with his tactical thinking. The problem is his psychological quality, and no one can help him.
Secondly, unlike its rival AC Milan, Inter Milan lacks a real leader. AC Milan has Maldini, which can be said to be a hero enough to command the world, but since Belgomi, Inter Milan has always lacked a person in the locker room. A flag that deters everyone.
A strong team needs leaders and superstars. The champion lineup is inseparable from the stars. Just like the five-star beads of Real Madrid, Inter Milan has also found the core and soul of their own lineup.
Ibrahimovic is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of Inter Milan's lineup, just like Manchester United's Ronaldo, the Swede who joined Inter Milan for 26 million euros in the summer, and now the market valuation has exceeded 40 million euros. More importantly, Ibrahimovic is only 26 years old. The color state can not only last for many years, but also has room for further improvement.
Although he basically lost in the goal competition with Degan, 30 goals in a season has been a big breakthrough for a scorer who was not very productive before.
Adriano's season can't be said to be smooth sailing, but his strength and value have never been underestimated. Difficulties are only temporary, just like last season's Ibrasimovic, a genius favored by the elite will have a shining moment sooner or later. Cruz 34 years old, Crespo 32 years old, 25 years old Adrian The day when Nuo sits on the main front line of Inter Milan is not far away, and Adriano also said publicly: "My future is in Inter Milan, and I will not go anywhere."
"I scored more than 200 goals and participated in three World Cups, Olympic Games and America's Cup." Looking back on his career, Crespo is so satisfied. Yes, this is a world-class shooter's resume. Although he is 32 years old and his physical strength is not as good as before, Crespo has never relied on brute force for football. This season, he and Adriano have rotated to play, but still dedicated 10 sinks to Inter Milan. Dian's goal, now Chelsea saw Crespo's performance and is eager to bring him back, but Crespo is full of hope to stay in Milan. "I have adapted to life in Italy."
"Beron, Vieira, our midfield skills will decline slightly, but our scoring ability and strength will be improved."
Mancini's prediction at the beginning of the season has been well confirmed. 31-year-old Vieira is no longer young and has more injured than in the past, but he is still a world-class midfielder. His arrival has greatly improved Inter Milan's midfield defense. Vieira's strength is in Arsenal, Juventus and Inter Milan. Three different giants have been confirmed that 10 million euros is not his real value, and Juventus would not have sold him for less than 20 million euros if it hadn't been for the downgrade.
For 12 years at Inter Milan, Sanetti did not have the opportunity to prove his worth in the transfer market, but the title of "world's first right-back" given to him will not be opposed by many people. This season, Sanetti has shown his comprehensiveness and spent more time in the defensive midfield. It should be said that his transformation and Vieira's joining have hardened Inter Milan's midfield, which is the key to Mancini's tactical transformation. Sanetti is about to be 34 years old, but as the leader of Inter Milan, no one doubts his implications. Amount of gold.
In addition to the stars, Inter Milan is different from other teams in their substitute lineup, with about 20 players at the same level. This is the biggest difference between Inter Milan and other giants in Serie A, and in the long season, injuries and state ups and downs are inevitable, which is precisely the most critical.
On the forward line, it is difficult to say who is the substitute for Adriano and Crespo. In the midfield, Dakota played a perfect half season. On the back line, Materazzi and Grosso's mind were squeezed into the bench by Samuel and Maxwell substitutes respectively, but they still It may be a "resurrepation" at any time, which is the competition mechanism. In addition, who can imagine a goalkeeper like Toldo sitting on the bench for a season? Unfortunately, Inter Milan was eliminated by Valencia in two draws in Europe, otherwise the multi-line battle will end, and Inter Milan's substitute lineup will let people see his powerful power.
Although the celebration ceremony prepared by Inter Milan in the last round of the league was disturbed by the unpopular people of Florence and Degan, a top bastard, the fans of Inter Milan did not wait too long. The huge advantage finally put him on the throne of the league championship.
At this moment, Moratti's calm contrasts with the players' celebration. Moratti is thinking about his 12 years, and the players are thinking about this season.
Originally, according to the usual practice, the chairman usually did not watch the game away from the league. It is clear what this game is for. White shirt and gray suit. After the game, he got up and answered the phone with a calm expression. The players couldn't help it. After learning that Roma lost, they flocked to the court. Mancini put on a suit and hugged and cheered the players.
Finally, Inter, which is not perfect, wrote the last stroke of the season, which should have been written a week in advance. They gave up the near and far, gave up in Meacha, but went to the small city of Tuscany to celebrate. The stadium was too small, and only a few thousand Inter fans arrived. After the game, they flew back to Milan and drove back to Meacha to celebrate. Maybe this was their pleasure.
It is said that Inter is incomplete, which comes from the fact that Inter is good at playing sad movements before and after, and dedicates music that sounds incomplete. As the saying goes, as long as Inter is present, the result is unpredictable. The most recent example of this incompleteness is still fresh in Matrazy and Sanetti on May 5, 2002.
Don't think that this is Moratti's patent, but inherited from his father, as early as the era of Herrera. On June 1, 1967, the National team topped the list with 48 points, 1 point ahead of Juventus. In the last match between the two teams, Inter completely dominated the game. As a result, Juventus' Giacomo shot from a small angle of gambling on luck. Inter's goalkeeper Sardy stood well and grabbed the ball. The ball was strangely missed from his men, and Juventus won the championship. That season marked the complete decline of the Great Powers.
It is true that Mancini's transformation of Inter and the promotion of Inter this season are the fundamental factors for winning the championship, but it is not yet consistent in such a discolored league. It can't be said that this Inter is great, which does not include the Champions Cup.
Inter Milan won the championship, and AC Milan, an opponent in the same city, also won, continuing to maintain a two-point advantage with Fiorentina, defeating Cagliari 3:1 at home. Cafu also completed two wonderful assists and completing his most beautiful game of the season, from the World Cup to the match. The performance at the beginning of the season is not bad. By the middle of the season, it was like sleepwalking, and then to injury. At this stage, Cafu finally found the state of two years ago.
Five passes, three steals, three threat passes, two assists, which is not like the data of a 37-year-old veteran, but this is Cafu's performance today.
In the game, at least half of Ronaldo's goal should be credited on Cafu. Sidov scored the ball to the right. Cafu and the opponent's defender Pissano took the same opportunity. Cafu used a sliding shovel and shoveled off the ball first. At the same time, Pissano tripped on his leg and fell to one side, while Cafu quickly got up at the same time. , without slowing down at all. While Cagliari's defender was still stunned, he completed the cross. All Ronaldo needed to do was touch it gently in front of the door.
Kafu's performance was not over yet. In the second half, the Brazilian accelerated the bottom pass from the right side. The ball drew an arc and quickly fell down, which deceived Chimenti. Cagliari's goalkeeper flew out, but did not hit the ball. The ball just fell on Ronaldo's chest between the two Cagliari defenders, and Ronnie used his chest. The department hit the ball into the goal.
In terms of defense, Cafu also did a good job. Although the handball in the penalty area was lucky enough to escape the referee's eyes, the Brazilian's defense has been meticulous since then.
At the beginning of the second half, Cagliari had a chance to equalize the score. Suazo broke through Simic's pass on the sideline, and Cafu destroyed the ball out of the bottom line before Capone.
Before the end of the game, Cafu completed a beautiful card position when Suazzo tried to shoot at the back point, turned around and broke the ball at his feet, and then launched a counterattack.
Ancelotti also commented after the game: "Kafu played a wonderful game."
In fact, compared with the peak period, Cafu has appropriately adjusted the kicking method according to his physical fitness, reducing the number of insertions and ensuring that the defense is important.
After joining Odo, Kafu's performance is getting better and better. The competition mechanism is not the main thing. The most important thing is that with Odo, Kafu can take a breath from the rhythm of the weekly double game that makes him tired. In fact, the 33-year-old Kafu and the 37-old Kafu is mainly different from the continuous battle. Physical strength.
Now Cafu maintains the rhythm of one game a week and saves more physical strength. Even if he doesn't catch up with the team's physical training in winter, Cafu can still play a high level of competition.
But today's two assists are also one of the few good memories that Cafo can leave for San Siro. The Brazilian is sure to leave after summer. Although as a substitute, he was still able to play another season competently, his departure had nothing to do with whether he could adapt to the rhythm of European football. Cafu's father was in poor health. For this reason, Cafu once traveled to Milan and Sao Paulo and returned to Brazil. Cafu also wanted to be able to be filial and take care of him. My own father. But in any case, it is regrettable for AC Milan to lose such a competent and experienced substitute.
It's another Ronaldo goal and a 3:1 ending. AC Milan also hopes that the Champions League against Manchester United in San Siro on Tuesday can resume Bayern's great career at Allianz Stadium. In the league before the away game against Bayern, Milan killed Empoli 3:1, and the aliens opened the deadlock. This time, it feels similar.
Similar to the use of troops, Ancelotti rotated significantly. In the match against Cagliari, Kaka and Odo sat leisurely in the stands. Maltini, Nesta and Inzaghi were not included in the list. Gila, Pirlo, Ambrosini and Janku were all substitutes. For one person, only Seedorf and Gattuso will definitely start in the Champions League, and goalkeeper Karachi depends on Dida's recovery.
AC Milan's Champions League journey is probably what Digan is most concerned about in addition to the league. He hopes that AC Milan can win the championship as in his previous life, and Kaka can ascend the throne with this Champions League trophy.
veteran Cafut also talked about this game in an interview before the game: "The encounter of Roma 1:7 reminds us to be very careful against Manchester United, because this must be a tough game. We must do our best. Manchester United is a team that is good at home, especially in such an important In any case, there will always be adventures. We must be as big as Munich. We must show that we can bring back a victory at home. The whole team has been in very good shape recently. Although we have encountered some difficulties at the beginning of the season, the 11 people on the field will do their best.
With Dida's return, AC Milan's starting lineup has no big doubt. The goalkeeper Dida, Odo, Nesta, Maltini and Janculowski have all had a full rest on the defender line. The midfielders include Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, and Sidov and Kaka, who are in good condition, will form a double front midfielders. , Gilardino suddenly formed a "Christmas tree".
Degan watched the game live at his home in Florence. The final result was the same as in his memory. After two years, Ancelotti once again killed Manchester United with a "Christmas tree". In the choice of "Christmas tree" and double strikers, Ambrosini became a key figure, thanks to Sedorf , Gattuso and Pirlo are a constant combination. If they choose a double striker, Ambrosini will be off the court. If Ambrosini is on, Ancelotti will be the next striker. Ansinho chose Ambrosini and let him wear the captain's armband, while AC Milan's third captain will return with a wonderful assist. Ancelotti's trust.
Compared with Gatuso's publicity, Ambrosini seemed a little silent. Because of this, the British news agency's evaluation of him was general: "Defensive is general, and the only highlight of the whole game is to assist Gilardino's goal."
But in fact, the technical statistics after the game showed that Ambrosini's interception of passes reached five times, ranking the highest in the game.
If you simply call Ambrosini an "article", it is somewhat biased. In addition to completing his defensive work, Ambrosini also dedicated Ruy Costa-style wonderful passes on the field.
In the 79th minute of the game, Sedorf stopped the ball in the frontcourt and was destroyed by the opposing defender. The ball rolled at the feet of Ambrosini. He found the empty line of Manchester United's defense and Gilardino's running line almost at the first moment.
A long-distance accurate direct pass defeated Manchester United's defense. Gilardino calmly pushed the goal against the attacking van der Sar with the ball. This cooperation reminds people of Rui Costa and Sheva's 2002 AC Milan's game against Real Madrid. Rui Costa assisted with his proud 60-meter direct pass. Wa defeated Real Madrid in San Siro 1:0, and this time, a similar pass appeared on Ambrosini, known for his defense, showing the comprehensiveness of the midfielder.
In fact, Ambrosini's passing vision has never been bad. AC Milan won the championship in the 03/04 season. It was his "spoon" pass that helped Tomasson make a penalty and let AC Milan win a key match against Empoli. Ambrosini's characteristic of always excellent performance in key games. In the semi-finals two years ago, Ambrosini scored a header and eliminated Eindhoven. This time, although he did not score a goal, he sent a wonderful assist with his feet.
Ambrosini is the key figure in this victory, but the person holding the key to victory is Kaka.
3:0!
AC Milan stepped over the mountain of Manchester United and finally had a chance to go to Athens to subvert Liverpool's Istanbul nightmare.
Some people say that the heavy rain is more conducive to Manchester United, and the British are better at water battles, but Kaka said confidently before the game that they know how to beat Manchester United.
And Liverpool's promotion to the final seems to be a booster, and all Milanese are looking forward to the revenge battle in Athens.
As Kaka said, Milanese know the skills of defeating Manchester United.
At the beginning of the game, AC Milan frequently created dangers in front of Manchester United's goal.
In the eleventh minute, Kaka received a clever header assist from Sedorf, opening the record for AC Milan. In fact, from this goal, the dream of Manchester United and Liverpool in the final has begun to be disillusioned.
In the 19th minute, it was another wonderful goal from Kaka, which was more like a cold beat on the body with the rain. As the game progressed, the rain gradually stopped, but in the 78th minute of the second half, Gilardino's goal pushed Manchester United to a bottomless abyss.
The secret in Kaka's mouth comes from the first round of the competition between the two sides. In an interview before the game, he said that AC Milan should play this game like in the first half of Manchester, kicking out the team's personality and style, and the team's spirit before the game is as confident as when visiting Munich.
"At home, we will have more advantages. I'm sure we will play a beautiful game. Manchester United is a strong team. Their counterattack speed is very fast, their forwards are very agile, and the whole team is also very young. But we know how to beat them. Last week in Manchester, it's a pity that we didn't play well enough in the second half, but this regret will be made up for in this game.
A week ago, Kaka proved at Old Trafford that Manchester's four defenders couldn't help him, and in this game, Ferguson was injured by him again. He broke through Van der Sar's ten fingers twice, which increased Kaka's Champions League goals this season, and he was also far ahead in the scorer list. These wonderful goals have also made AC Milan's step forward in Europe: from the stoppage time against the Celtics in San Siro to the backwater game in Munich, Kaka is the protagonists.
A week ago, the Brazilian brought back two valuable away goals from the British Peninsula. Today, Kaka's total goals in the Champions League have expanded to 21.
Kaka is improving every year. Last season, because of Degan's presence, Kaka's light was covered up to a certain extent, but he also scored 19 goals. Now his score is 18 goals. In addition to 11 Champions League goals, 7 other goals were gained from Serie A. He is also in this season. , the player who scored the most goals for Milan.
Four years after joining Milan, today's Kaka has become one of Milan's pillars. For Kaka, the dream of the Champions League is more urgent. Because for every Milanese, the early summer of Athens in 1994 was unforgettable, when they defeated the invincible Barcelona with a big score of 4:0, and the golden championship trophy reflected a peak of the Milan dynasty. That summer, Kaka on the other side of the ocean was only 12 years old, and he was still a child who had just started on the football field, looking forward to his future in the distant São Paulo.
Last week, when he visited Old Trafford, all Milan remembered that Milan killed Juventus here four years ago, and in early summer, when Manchester was sleepless because of AC Milan, Kaka was still uncertain about which country to go to Europe to develop, and four years later, Kaka became Milan's absolute core. Heart.
After experiencing the bitterness of Istanbul, he is eager to be recorded in the history of Milan's Champions Cup. As the final is approaching, Kaka's inner desire for the finals has kept him in an excellent state and his personality: "I will work harder, and the team's current state is also very good. In the current Milan , I can easily find a comfortable angle and position, which can also help the team do its best. Golden Globe Award? First of all, I will try my best to win the game with Milan, and then I will consider my personal award. My mind is on Milan's victory in every game, especially when Rod has left. I hope I can make Wright's surname leave more memories at San Siro Stadium!"
Because Fiorentina, who plays for Digan's, is absent from the Champions League, people have paid more attention to their opponents Kaka and Kim Mauro. If the topic of comparison between C Ronaldo and Kaka has not ended in the first round, then AC Milan will play 3:0 at home in the second round. After winning Manchester United, people seem to have every reason to say that Kaka can wait for the 2007 European Golden Globe.
When Ronaldo angrily scolded his teammate Oshe after his breakthrough again and again, Kaka opened the door to victory for AC Milan with his steady performance. Kaka is currently at the top of the Champions League scorer list with 11 goals and cancels the second stage of the group stage of the European Champions League, changing from 17 wins to 13 games. After winning, Kaka is the second player to score double digits, and the first is his brother Degan, but it is worth noting that Kaka is not a real scorer.
In the first minute of the game, Kaka took the ball in the right position in the middle and made an accelerated breakthrough, which shook off Heinze and broke into the right rib of the opponent's penalty area. Unfortunately, his cross pass passed in front of Sedorf, but this successful breakthrough showed Kaka's good state.
Ancelotti always talks about the importance of taking the initiative early. Kaka is the key. 8 of Kaka's 19 goals this season come from the first 30 minutes.
So, when the game reached the eleventh minute, Nesta's long pass launched an attack. Sedorf's header return in the penalty area showed an extraordinary tacit understanding with Kaka. The ball bounced on the ground. Kaka did not wait for the ball to land again, and directly raised his left foot to the lower right corner of the goal!
Van der Sar made a save, but the angle of Kaka's shot was described as "unable angle" by the Milan Sport. From this moment on, Milan went from backward to the lead. In the heavy rain, Kaka clenched his fist and shouted, and his teammates rushed up to embrace AC Milan. Meritorious minister.
"I think he has the shadow of Di Stefano. Kaka can start just right in the penalty area and give his opponent a fatal blow." The predecessor legendary striker Altafini described it as the best interpretation of Altafini's goal.
Kaka still had a chance to score a goal. At the beginning of the second half, after he broke into the penalty area with the ball at high speed, he suddenly stopped and shook down Vidic. After that, his powerful shot was saved by Van der Sar.
In the 69th minute, Kaka's strong shot from the front of the penalty area hit Vidic. Van der Sar, who lost his center of gravity, has disarmed, but this time Manchester United was lucky, and the ball came out of the bottom line from the outside of the other side of the post.
In addition to the decisive blow, Kaka's holding the ball with the ball can always make Manchester United players nervous. Although he rarely ride a bicycle, Kaka with the ball was stuck and shoveled down by Vidic in the 75th minute, but Kaka can still lean on people after getting up, turn around and carry the ball along the sideline and throw the ball from between the legs of the black man. Passed to Giladino in the penalty area without any fancy movements, but can achieve the best results.
Just like Inter Milan star Suarez said when he dribbled the ball between Caka and C Ronaldo: "Kaka can leave an indelible impression on his opponent through simple but impressive performance, and C Ronaldo, probably the public's impression of him is more of his outstanding movements."
Paul. Rossi's description is more vivid: "C Ronaldo has a lot of fancy dribbling performances, and in the end he lost the ball himself, while Kaka, on the contrary, just completed a difficult pass with simple and neat movements. Can you ask Zico or Maradona when it is faster to carry the ball, when you can play at will without restrictions, or when there is a dog chasing behind your feet?
"I haven't reached my peak," Kaka said in an interview after the game. "I'm better than last season, but I still have a lot to improve. I need to learn, improve, adapt and understand to make myself a more comprehensive player."
Although Kaka has higher requirements for himself, it can be said that after this battle, Kaka has really become the most popular candidate for the European Golden Globe Awards, but in Kaka's view, he has a more important goal than the Golden Globe.
"This is a perfect match for AC Milan, and it is also a unique opportunity to meet Liverpool again in the final. We hope that the result of this final will be different. This is a good opportunity for us to win back what we didn't win back two years ago. I don't see him as a kind of revenge. In contrast, this is more like an opportunity to make up for our regret in Istanbul.
