Chapter 71 I won't lose this time
Returning to Serie A, the highlight of the sixth round of the league is Inter Milan's home game against Red Wolf Roma. As a monopoly of Italy's domestic honor in the post-telephone era, they met on a narrow road at the Meacha Stadium. Inter and Roma scored 11 points before the game, and the net winning goal was the same, ranking two or three, ranking in the history of the confrontation between the two teams. Rome has been at a low end for a long time, but in the last four confrontations, Rome has won three games, especially in the Italian Super Cup at the beginning of this season, and Roma defeated Inter Milan 1-0 to win the championship. Last season's Coppa Italia final won the championship with a total score of 62.
In this game, in the last game against Fiorentina, they got Totti, Perota and Panucci, but Aquilani and Tadayi were absent due to injury and were replaced by Pizarro and Jiuli respectively.
Mancini formed a 4-2-3-1 formation similar to Rome. Dakota and Cambiasso played double midfields, Stankovic served as the front midfielders, the wings were Figo and Cesar, and Ibrahimovic rushed forward alone.
Originally thought to be a close match, the taste has changed since the beginning. Less than a minute before the opening, Roma almost took the lead. De Rossi's free kick was trampled by Pizarro. Totti's strong shot was blocked by Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar. Little Mancini followed up with the make-up shot, but hit the ball on Cesar. Rome missed a chance to score a goal.
Then, Totti's heel passed to the left side of the penalty area, but little Mancini followed slowly. In the thirteenth minute, Totti shot vigorously on the left side and was blocked by Cesar again.
After resisting Roma's three-board axe, Inter Milan began to counterattack. In the 29th minute of the game, Totti made a mistake with the ball. Maxwell grabbed the ball, intercepted the ball and took it to the front court. He made a straight pass, but Perota did not intercept the ball. Cesar shot after getting the ball and was attacked. Doni blocked it with his leg, and Ibrasimovic followed in time and headed the ball to make up for the empty goal. The little Jiuli jumped off on the goal line and subconsciously raised his hand to block the ball.
Red card!
penalty!
Ibrahimovic personally took the penalty and shot the ball into the lower right corner, with Inter leading 1-0.
The score took the lead and played one more person. The next game was gradually controlled by Inter Milan.
However, the situation was good, but the mentality of Inter Milan players was too relaxed. The continuous fierce attack always showed weakness on the goal. Until the end of the first half, the score was not rewritten again.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Roma suddenly exerted an opportunity and made a high-quality counterattack. Totti's right rib went straight into the penalty area. Maxwell made a mistake in passing back under Pizarro's pressure. Perota pushed the ball in front of the goal and hit the ball into the lower left corner. Roma unexpectedly equalized the score!
Seeing that there was a problem with the three-pointer in his hand, the star of Inter Milan was also anxious. Just three minutes after Roma's goal, Cambiasso made a straight pass in the middle and inserted it. Crespo touched the ball on the edge of the penalty area and handed it back to Cambiasso. Cambiasso met the ball, and his left foot volley was blocked by Doni, followed by Clay. Sibo's right foot volleyed into the net, and Inter Milan exceeded 2:1 again.
I have to say that in the face of Rome, Crespo has a natural psychological advantage. Last season, Crespo broke through the gate guarded by Doni five times, which can be called Dorney's most feared shooter.
After taking the lead again, many of Inter Milan's big-name stars also corrected their attitude. In the 60th minute, Figo cut back on the right side, and Crespo. After receiving the ball, he shot directly, and the football once again got into the corner, 3:1!
In the 68th minute, Figo made a tactical corner kick on the left side, Cesar passed the ball to Figo again, Figo passed the arc ball from the left to the back point, and Cordoba headed the ball, 4:1!
Roma, who fell behind by a big score, lost their fighting spirit, and Inter, who had a Champions League mission, also slowed down the offensive pace. In the end, Inter Milan defeated their opponents 4:1.
Inter Milan won again, but their rival AC Milan is still continuing their weak state. In the previous six rounds, AC Milan, who only won one victory, has reached the point of not being able to lose, but due to facing strong rival Fiorentina in the Champions League in the middle of the week, Ancelotti was also forced to make a rotation. , substitutes Cafu and Favali were used in the two gates, Karachi continued to replace the injured Dida, and Inzaghi, who has not scored in domestic events this season, rushed forward.
After the opening, AC Milan played patiently. Several attacks almost scored goals, especially Inzaghi, who served as a single arrow. He seems to feel very good today and runs very actively.
But Catania was the first to take the lead. In the 25th minute, Mascara made a direct pass in the middle. Spinesi broke into the penalty area and shot in front of the goal with his right foot. He was blocked by Karachi, who hit in time, but Spinesi got the ball again on the left side and rubbed the ball over the card when he lost the shooting angle. Lachi's head, Martinez, who was enveloping, entered the empty door, 1:0.
Berlusconi in the stands also looked helpless, and he seemed to be used to Milan's weak state.
After the score, AC Milan immediately organized a crazy counterattack, but in the face of Catania's barrel array, AC Milan seemed powerless.
At the end of the first half, AC Milan players withdrew from the surround stereo booing at San Siro Stadium.
In the second half, Ancelotti, who had been forced to the edge of the cliff, replaced Ambrosini with Gilardino, AC Milan restored the double striker, and Oddo replaced the old-fashioned Cafu.
This substitution really had a miraculous effect. In the 47th minute, Odo dribbled the ball on the right side and rushed to Catania's half. After a low pass, Catania's back position, Edusé, touched the ball with his left hand when it was destroying, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.
Kaka scored in the lower left corner with his right foot, 1:1, AC Milan equalized the score.
In the next game, AC Milan still had a chance to overtake the score, but Catania's defense was perfect, and AC Milan could only accept the result of shaking hands with their opponents in the end.
Another highlight of this round that opens at the same time as this game is Juventus vs. Turin, which is the first Turin derby since 2003.
A few hours before the game, fans from both sides clashed outside the stadium. The Turin fans at home created a very warm atmosphere, and they spelled out the name and logo of the club with color plates.
On the field, the two sides also fought very fiercely. Although the overall strength of the Turin team was weak, the game was very bloody, living up to their nickname Bulls.
In a normal game, the two sides can be said to be evenly matched. The deadlock continued until the end of the game. After the regular time battle, the two sides were still 0:0, but in the third minute of stoppage time, a sudden change, Almilon headed the ball in front, Turin defender Dela Fiore head The ball was cleared but headed into his own penalty area, and Trezegai volleyed into the right side of the gate with his right foot in front of the goal!
1:0.
After scoring the goal, Trezeguet was also ecstatic and took off his jersey to celebrate. From the slow mirror, although Trezeguet was in an offside position at the moment Almiron's pass, after De La Fiore touched the ball halfway, the offside no longer existed, and Juventus defeated Turin!
Although they won the ball, there has been a discordant voice inside Juventus recently. After returning to the first class, the club management has successively renewed their contracts with the main players in the team. Trezeguet, Camoranessy, Buffon and Nedvede have all completed the renewal of their contracts with the club and signed new contracts. Now only Leaving a person, Piero, the flag of Juventus, and the captain of the Bianconeri have not renewed their contract with the club. Recently, Juventus sports director Seco said an amazing thing in an interview with the media. Seco revealed that Piero "has been able to leave".
32-year-old Piero expressed his hope to complete the renewal of the contract with the club in the summer, but the two sides have not been able to agree on the new contract, and now Piero may break with the club because of a contract dispute.
According to Italian media reports, the differences between the two sides mainly lie in the annual salary of the new contract. Juventus hopes to sign a three-year contract with Piero, but the salary will be greatly reduced. Juventus' expulsion of the New Year's salary is nearly 30% lower than Piero's current annual salary, and Piero is very dissatisfied with this. He doesn't want to reduce his salary.
Previously, Piero's agent has been saying to the media that Piero will renew his contract with the club in a few days, but in fact Juventus does not think so. For the first time, the club has said that Piero can leave.
"Pierro's role in the club is self-evident. The team doesn't need to explain this much, but we are likely to regret losing him."
Although the words of Juventus' sports director Seco are very tactful, Juventus' firmness in renewing the contract has been revealed.
"Of course, we will keep Piero as much as possible, and we will try every possible means to reach a consensus with Piero. Every Juventus hopes that the club and Piero can renew their contract smoothly."
When the future of Piero and Juventus' contract renewal is uncertain, clubs have begun to take action, and it is not uncommon in the football circle to poach the opponent's core players with high salaries.
The Italian media speculated that if Juventus could not renew his contract with Piero in a short time, the era of Prince Piero Zebra would come to an end.
This news is somewhat surprising, because just a few days ago, the attitude of the senior management of the Juventus club was not like this. Piero is the flag of Juventus and the team's most goals in history.
The club has also claimed more than once that Piero has played for the "old woman" for 14 years, which is "the past, present and future of Juventus". When it comes to Piero's future, it also "affirms" that Piero is about to renew his contract with the club.
Why has the club's attitude changed 180 degrees after just a few days, especially after winning an exciting Turin derby?
Piero's agent is his brother Stefano, who has talked with chairman Blank and sports manager Seco at least three times, but his position is not close. It is revealed that there are two differences between the two sides, one is remuneration and the other is position.
Regarding remuneration, the club asked the 33-year-old captain to reduce his salary by 30% and renew the contract until 2010. Piero believes that this condition is unfair, because Nedvede, who is two years older than him, not only did not reduce his salary but raised his salary, so even if he accepts the salary reduction, it should not be so large. Regarding the location, Piero asked the club to provide a guarantee, but the club felt embarrassed. It just excused that how to arrange troops was a matter for head coach Ranelli, but under Ranelli, Piero was obviously not the first choice. Trezeguet and Paladino had to be in front of him.
What does Ranieri's personality have to do with Piero?
Does Piero's existence or his requirements restrict the Juventus coach?
The club also did not have a clear answer.
Turin Debi Piero sat on the bench for 90 minutes. In the previous rounds, Piero's performance was also very average, especially in the second half, he looked very tired.
The reality is very clear that Piero does not have 90 minutes of physical strength, so he will be replaced as long as conditions permit. Not only that, Juventus also hope that Trezegaard will score more goals, and the better forward partner of the French striker is Aquinta.
The scene of Capello coaching Juventus may be repeated under Ranieri. Piero was often replaced first, and later became a substitute and was replaced from time to time.
After the derby in Turin, someone asked about Piero's position. Captain Juventus stressed: "My position is a forward. Only in the forward position can I maximize my level. If you want me to change my position, it's better to let other players play.
Ragneli will not meet Piero's position requirements, but will not ask to give up him, not only because Piero's unique position in Juventus, but also because the team's front line is short, counting Palladino's only four strikers. Judging from the current signs, Juventus wanted Piero to stay, but did not want to give in to him too much.
Senko's statement was actually to kick the ball at Piero's feet, while preparing Juventus fans psychologically. In terms of the worst assumption, if Piero decides to leave after the expiration of the contract, the fans will not blame the club for it.
The competitors who won the championship were in trouble, and the leader Florence won a comfortable victory at home, 3:0!
Florence won the easy and comfortable!
Degan, who scored consecutive goals, finally stopped his progress in this game, but his three assists still made him the biggest star of the game.
Livorno tried to resist in the game, but unfortunately, their resistance was not successful. In the tenth minute of the game, Degan used a long pass to assist Mutu to take the lead and opened the door to victory for Fiorentina.
Before the end of the first half, it was Degan's pass, assisting Hamsik to go to the next city, completely extinguishing Livorno's counterattack.
In the 70th minute of the second half, Degan crossed the penalty area again to help Arteta score his first goal after joining Fiorentina.
After the game, Degan said in an interview: "Of course, it's very good to score goals, but if we can help our teammates score, this feeling is also very good. Most importantly, we have won another victory."
After defeating Livorno, Fiorentina's winning streak has reached 10 games, one step further from Inter Milan's 17th consecutive victory.
"My teammates and I have a consensus that we will not deliberately think about these things. What we need to do now is to win every game. As for the goal, as I just said, that is not the most important thing, and I believe that my goal will not stop. You can treat this game as me. After a break, we will have another very important game next. Wonderful goals should be reserved for important games!"
What is the important competition?
Of course, it was the Italian derby against AC Milan in the Champions League group stage.
As far as the current status of the two teams is concerned, Fiorentina is obviously much better than AC Milan, but considering the characteristics of AC Milan's outsiders, the final result of this game is really difficult to be determined.
Before the Champions League rekindled the war, the International Professional Players League announced the winner of the world's best player award, and AC Milan's midfielder Kakali won the award over 55 world-class stars.
This award was selected by 45,000 professional players from 42 countries. Ronaldinho of Barcelona was voted the best in the first two sessions, and Rooney and Messi won the best rookie award.
Although Degan performed well, it is obvious that he, who has severely offended FIFA and UEFA, is unlikely to be favored by those in power.
Amou among the 55 candidates previously announced, 20 players in the Premier League were selected as the biggest winners, 17 players in La Liga, 15 Serie A, and Degan was also on the list. There are also three players who are not from the three major leagues. They are Lucio and Ram of Bayern, and Abidar, who played for Lyon last season.
In fact, Kaka deserved to win this award. Last season, AC Milan won the European Champions League under the leadership of Kaka. In the end, Kaka also won two awards, the best striker and the best player. In the league, Kaka also played well and was deducted points at the beginning of the season. Under unfavorable conditions, he still led the team to a more decent ranking.
Previously, Spanish media revealed that Kaka was the winner of the Golden Globe Award, and once Kaka won the award, he undoubtedly became the most glorious player last year.
In addition, the International Professional Players League also selected the world's best team last year. Barcelona was selected, AC Milan was selected by two players, and two were selected as the super dark horse Florence last season. The other two places belong to Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The position of the best goalkeeper belongs to Frey. His performance last season is absolutely top-notch. If Degan's goal helped Fiorentina finally make the top four in the league, then Frey's defense like a wall added a lock to Florence's entry into the Champions League.
The defender is Nesta of AC Milan. His performance last season was also perfect. Although he missed some games due to injury, in the Champions League, it was because of his excellent defense that he finally ensured AC Milan's cup.
There is also Cannavaro, a central defender from Real Madrid. Although the captain of the Italian national team is old, his ability is still the top in Europe. After transferring to Real Madrid, he quickly became the main force of the team. At his age, it is rare to still win the position of the giants.
There is also Terry from Chelsea. Although the Ruble Legion is often described as an upstart, Chelsea captain Terry is absolutely world-class in the position of central defender. Although Chelsea failed to defend its title in the Premier League last season, it was the team that conceded the fewest goals. Terry's excellent performance is credited. Wei.
The last place belongs to Barcelona captain Pujol. The Lion King is at the peak of his career. In Barcelona, he is not only the core of the team's defense, but also the spiritual leader of the team. Last season, although Barcelona lost the championship, his performance still earned him a lot of votes.
The best midfield last season was undoubtedly Kaka, who scored 12 goals in the Champions League and finally helped AC Milan reach the top of Europe. He also played well in the league. Today, Kaka is not only a core player in AC Milan, but also in the Brazilian national team.
The other place belongs to Liverpool captain Gerard. Although the Red Army leader had no harvest last season, his performance still received countless praises. Most of the reasons for not having a championship is that the team's overall strength is insufficient. However, Gerard is also enough to bring Liverpool to the Champions League final. Proud.
The last place is from Manchester United. Last season, Golden Mave ushered in a big outbreak after joining Manchester United. After the beginning of this season, his performance is still excellent. Under Lafayette, he has completely replaced Scholes and Giggs and become the core players of Manchester United. Although it is regrettable that he missed the European Cup, he can still show his superb skills in the Premier League and the Champions League.
On the forward line, Messi was successfully selected. Although he is still just a little brother around Ronaldinho, everyone knows that Barcelona's future must belong to him, especially Ronaldinho's minor injuries this season, coupled with the conflict with coach Ricard, Messi quickly came to power. He has become the first idol of Barcelona.
In the same position, Ronaldinho was successfully selected. Although he is no longer an indispensable core player in Barcelona, there is no doubt that Ronaldinho is still one of the outstanding stars in the world.
The last position belongs to Degan, but Degan did not come to the scene in person, which embarrassed the organizers, but this can't help but change it. No matter how contradictory it is, people can't go against their conscience and exclude Degan. Recalling his goal, you will know that if this is the most If there is only one striker in the lineup, it must also belong to Degan.
Kaka got the first personal honor in his life and is moving steadily towards the road of the king of football. After returning to Italy, Kaka also accepted an interview.
"I am very satisfied to receive this honor, but thanks to my teammates and my family, it is their support that I can get here today! Here I would like to thank my brother Rod. Before the start of last season's Champions League final, he kept telling me that I would definitely become the champion. It turned out that he was right! I really did it!"
Although they expressed their gratitude off the court, the two most famous brothers in the world football still have to face the upcoming competition.
In the league, AC Milan has lost for a while, and soon the battlefield will move to the Champions League, and Kaka is still full of confidence in this game.
"It is exactly what I look forward to competing with Rod in such a short time. Fiorentina is indeed a very powerful opponent, but AC Milan also has the strength to win. The result of the game will not be known until the end of the game, but I look forward to me and my teammates. I will be the one who laughs to the end!"
"This season, we didn't play well in the league and missed many opportunities to win, which is very annoying, but we will not bring this mood to the field. We need to keep calm about the upcoming game so that we can always concentrate on the court, which will be very Important!"
"I don't want to say too much about this game. All I can tell you is one sentence: we will never lose again this time!"
Kaka said that AC Milan will never lose again. In fact, AC Milan really can't afford to lose. They have played six rounds of the league, but only have one poor victory. For a rich family like AC Milan, it really doesn't make sense.
Although Ancelotti is still sitting in the position of Milan's head coach, this position is no longer reliable. In the last round of the league draw with Catania, Berlusconi once again expressed strong dissatisfaction and pointed the finger at Ancelotti, accusing him of being conservative and ugly.
But to be fair, this is really not the responsibility of Ancelotti alone. No matter how much money he has, he will bet. Compared with Inter Milan, Juventus, Florence, and even Rome, which has been running a small business in recent years, AC Milan's lineup is a little shabby.
Especially on the front line, at present, Ancelotti can only be used by Inzaghi and Gilardino. Even if he wants to play open football, he can't play.
Of course, there is a shortage of frontline personnel. Ancelotti can't blame others. He can only blame himself. If he hadn't driven Degan away, he might not have faced the current predicament.
However, in any case, it is not easy to be the head coach of a rich family. Even if Ancelotti has 10,000 sad reasons, if he can't play well in the game and his results can't be improved, he can only get out of here.
In the league, AC Milan has basically withdrawn from the competition for the championship. Now the only life-saving straw left in Ancelotti's hand is the Champions League. As Kaka said, AC Milan can never lose this next game and really can't afford to lose.
