Chapter 29
It is naturally a good thing to welcome Beckham with a victory. Most importantly, a victory can make Beckham realize more deeply about the power of Florence.
Beckham is an international superstar, but Fiorentina is also the most powerful team in the world.
However, during the game, Degan was accidentally injured in the second half, which worried fans who like Florence. Fortunately, the official website of Florence soon announced that Degan's injury was not serious and is expected to recover after ten days of rest.
But in this way, Degan will not be able to participate in the next 14th round of the league against Roma.
In the next game, Degan's importance to Fiorentina was undoubtedly revealed. Without Digan's Fiorentina's 0:1 defeat to Roma at the Olympic Stadium, ending the 11th consecutive victory in all competitions.
In the first half, the competition between the two teams was even. Kabinage, who replaced Degan's main position, performed very positively on the front line, and his combination with Mutu also caused a lot of trouble for Rome.
However, when the game was held in the 60th minute, Roma took the lead in breaking the deadlock. Taday made a cross from the bottom of the right side, and Totti scored with his right foot at the front of the penalty area,1-0.
In the next game, although Fiorentina made a big counterattack, but due to the lack of Degan, a sharp knife, Fiorentina had an advantage on the court, but could not equalize the score, and the score of 1:0 was also maintained until the end.
Fortunately, in this round, the two teams at the top of the league with Fiorentina, Inter Milan and AC Milan, also failed to win.
The unpopular news is not the most eye-catching. The most eye-catching thing is that before the start of the league with Lazio, another person's name appeared on Mourinho's block list, that is, Mario, an 18-year-old striker who was highly expected by Moratti. Baloteli.
The day before the start of the game, Mourinho announced in an interview that Balotli would not go to Rome with Inter Milan, but would stay in Milan to participate in the Inter Milan U19 youth team.
When it comes to his team choice, Mourinho also seemed a little impatient under the questions of reporters: "You always ask me questions about players who are not on the list, and never ask me about players who are on the list. In my opinion, it is easier to answer questions about the players on the list. I can tell you that Quaresma is on the list because his training is very good and Adriano is not on the list because his work attitude is very problematic. For Balotli, I want Mario to reach him. Da's position, in my opinion, is not enough if he becomes a player like other players, because he has a full chance to become a different player, and if he actively understands my words, but obviously, he can't understand my thoughts and often does something unreasonable. I just want to say that what I have done is not to punish, but to help him correct his attitude, which is very important!"
"Such a young player should not practice less than Figo, Sanetti, etc. I don't accept a player who is nothing, just a bet. I know that he is the wealth of Inter and Italian football, so I am more worried about him. If he practices 50%, he may be the world. The best, but he only practiced 25%, and there is no lack of dedicated models around him. If I let him play in this game, it will really be a big gift for him, but I don't want to give gifts to anyone. In me, everything is a new beginning. It has nothing to do with past achievements. Everyone is equal.
Then captain Sanetti supported Mourinho's decision on behalf of the team: "Baroteli should understand that the coach's words are full of emotion, and the goal is to give full play to his value as much as possible, not to kill him. The current football can emerge as long as you train hard. 18 years old There shouldn't be an air of a famous player.
Mourinho later also said that he would keep Balotelly. Adidas, who had just signed with Balotelly, suggested that Balotelly leave to get more appearances, but was rejected by the senior management of Inter Milan, which shows that madmen love talent, but have their own strict methods**.
In the end, the match between Inter Milan and Lazio was 0-0. At the same time, their old enemy AC Milan failed to win, and they were tied by Turin 2:2.
The game was tied and missed the best time to catch up with Fiorentina. What made Ancelotti more depressed was that in this game, Milan rarely had the opportunity to test the substitute defense in the face of the weak team. However, the result disappointed Ancelotti. The combination of Senderos and Favali made the Red Bulls easily hit two goals in a row.
Two goals conceded clearly reflected that Senderos, a substitute central defender, was unbearable. The first goal was conceded. At that time, when the two strikers of Turin were inserted into the Milan penalty area, Senderos did not keep an eye on any of them, and there was an obvious mistake in judging the landing point of the ball. He stood still and ran out to fight for the point. Sendros had a chance to relieve the siege, but in the air, the Swiss, known as the "New Stam" by Galliani, did not show Stam's air control ability at all, and ran closer than Anch. As a result, he pressed Sendros's head to break the door.
The second goal was lost. Bianchi squeezed Zambrotta behind him in Milan's penalty area, but Senderos did not notice these changes. His attention was only on the ball of Turin's full-back. As a result, the opponent's low pass bypassed him and was easily swept into the net by Bianchi and scored twice.
Before the game, the Milan Sport, which accurately predicted the starting lineup, sweated Senderos. Sure enough, the Swiss central defender still did not change his immaturity in Arsenal, the defensive consciousness was still weak, and there was a lack of prediction of the opponent's movement. In addition, the guest central defender Favali did not have a sense of making up for the defense, and the defense line was by Turin. It is not surprising that the recognized weak brigade was completely smashed.
Ancelotti also seems to have no hope for Senderos. When asked about the status of the Swiss central defender, the Milan coach blurted out: "Maybe it's not as good as Nesta who is recovering."
It sounds like Sendros wants to stay at AC Milan after the end of this season, which seems to have become a luxury. The central defender who was swept out by Wenger is completely looking for the wrong owner.
In a game, poor performance, people can even say that Senderos is not as reliable as Favari. Although veteran Favari appeared in an unfamiliar position in this game, he stared at another striker Bonazzoli in Turin, while Senderos was hit 4.5 in the post-match score. With a low score, the media even used "disaster" to describe his performance.
What's the difference?
The first thing is the air-making ability. Sendros has grown a big man, but his air-making ability is not even comparable to Favali. On Favari's head, Bonazzoli, who has always been good at his header ability, did not win a header.
It doesn't work on the head, and Senderos's turning speed is still not good. On the field, you can often see that Bianchi, whose speed is not fast, often uses speed to "eat raw". He can easily get rid of a position, turn slowly, and is easy to be broken through by the front. It was exposed.
When AC Milan introduced Senderos, they obviously didn't want this result. The last time AC Milan had such a bad comment and could not be used for the team, it can be traced back to Pablo, which was introduced from Atletico Madrid in 2000. Garcia, Fortunately, Sendros only rented it from Arsenal and only spent 2 million for the rental fee.
Recently, there has been news that AC Milan will introduce new defenders in winter, and British media also said that due to the possibility of selling Garras in winter, Wenger may take back Senderos. Although Galliani denied the possibility of signing in winter, if Senderos walks away, Nesta will not recover, and AC will not be allowed. Milan doesn't buy people.
Even if Senderos continues to stay at AC Milan to play this season, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to stay this summer, because Galliani has publicly said recently: "We will definitely have reinforcements on the defense line next summer, because Maldini is difficult to replace."
Isn't Senderos used to take over Maldini?
Obviously, he is no longer in Galliani's eyes.
Senderos is a disaster, but the veteran Favari, who was temporarily placed in the central defender position by Ancelotti, couldn't help but be eye-catching. The 36-year-old veteran appeared in the left-back position he used to, which was used to be a disaster. He has played left-back twice this season. After his poor performance, Ancelotti no longer let him play that position, but in the past, he was only a guest central defender position, but now it has become his "main business". Experience has made up for his physical shortcomings. After a few games, Favali's performance in the central defender position was praised by Ancelotti. Bonazzoli in this game, It is even better to complete the task.
In fact, such a "antiposition" was chosen by Bonazzoli himself, because Favari, who was born with a left foot, is not used to playing on the right side, so AC Milan plays regional defense. Compared with the tall Senderos, Crouch is obviously more willing to emphasize his height advantage on the side of Favari, and Favari is indeed a disadvantage. Obviously, but in this way, Favali still did not give Bonazzoli any chance to perform.
Before the game, Ancelotti once pointed out in particular: "Bonazoli is a dangerous person on the Turin front line."
Favali is the last central defender of AC Milan, but he is the most unlikely candidate who has successfully completed the task of keeping an eye on Bonazzoli. Sometimes experience is really an invisible force.
In fact, since last season, Favali has been unable to play the position of left-back. AC Milan had a bad performance last season, which has something to do with Jankulovski's long-term injury. Favali's too many left-backs. This season's "transformation" has made him a useful person for the team again, in Nesta In the case of long-term injuries and Maldini can't play frequently, a reliable substitute defender is necessary, even if it is the last substitute. Judging from this game, what Ancelotti said is that "favari is more reliable than Senderos at present" is not wrong, but no matter how well Favali plays in the central defender position, it should only be AC Milan's way to deal with this season's emergency is that Favari will be 37 years old next season. Who knows what kind of state it will be?
Even if he is as strong as Costa Cuta, he obviously felt powerless in the last season of AC Milan and had to announce his decision to retire during the season.
Favari's transformation was originally a good thing, but if AC Milan thinks that it can make do with the change of defense, then good things will also become bad things.
Favari temporarily solved the crisis of AC Milan's lack of people on the line, but the real hero of AC Milan in this game is indeed Inzaghi, an Italian veteran wearing the captain's arm for the first time.
After missing the goal continuously, he did not frustrate Inzaghi's confidence. Finally, in the third minute of injury time, his time finally came.
Zanbrota's right instep passed into the penalty area. After Zaghi ran and unloaded the ball, he dodged the defense of the other two defenders. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly sent the ball into the net.
At the last moment, AC Milan finally equalized the score!
After scoring, Inzaghi opened his arms and celebrated crazily. The San Siro Stadium, which had been silent for 92 minutes, suddenly broke out. People couldn't believe that the miracle was performed by a striker over 35 years old.
However, they are lucky for those who witnessed Inzaghi's goal.
Yes, it can be said that Inzaghi's goal was not beautiful, but this goal helped AC Milan get a point.
After the game, Inzaghi said in an interview: "After hitting the goalpost twice and hitting the crossbar once, I used to think it would be a bland night, but until the end I believed that I could score because I felt good physically. Then, the God of football gave me a chance to wear the captain's armband in 93rd minute, and my efforts were finally rewarded.
Inzaghi scored a goal and was assisted by Ronaldinho. Before the game against Turin, AC Milan head coach Ancelotti was asked to talk about Ronaldinho in an interview.
Ancelotti thought for a moment and said, "He is the kind of player who can bring different things to the team. He has scored a lot of goals and is very important. In my opinion, he is much better now than when he first arrived in Milan. He works very hard. You can really see Ronaldinho who really wants to become the familiar again. ."
Ancelotti mentioned the concept of "bringing different players" in the interview, which is the so-called star players who can change the game in a short time. In this game, Ronaldinho's performance just explains this.
When the team fell behind 0:1, Ancelotti was ready to replace Ronaldinho, and when he was about to play after preparing for the scene, the other team scored another one.
After Ronaldinho came on the court, his unprecedented expression was grim and his smile was no longer on his face. On a cold and rainy night in Milan, he needed to lead the team to complete a difficult task.
At that time, AC Milan was already 0:2 behind, and the clock was 74 minutes, less than 20 minutes before the end of the game.
But Ronaldinho can do it. When the game lasted 84 minutes, Ronaldinho created a free kick himself and was punished by himself. However, Ronaldinho aimed at the goal, raised his feet, and the ball drew a clear arc, almost rubbed the head of the player outside the wall and bent directly into Dead corner at the far end of the goal!
The ball speed is not very fast, but the arc is obvious and the angle is extremely tricky. Although Turin goalkeeper Sereni has made a flying save, it is still a long way from reaching the ball. The long-lost Barcelona era "small free kick" has appeared again!
Galliani described the free kick as "incredible" after the game, as Ronaldinho's teammate, Brazilian fellow Pato, said: "In the past, I could only see his performance on TV, but now he can do incredible things in training every day."
He commented on Ronaldinho before the game. After the game, Ancelotti couldn't help talking about Ronaldinho: "Before the game against Turin, I once joked with him that 'you haven't scored a free kick for a while', but he scored so quickly. In Brazil, I heard that he could kick anything where he wanted to kick the ball. Position, this is really a talent.
This is Ronaldinho's eighth goal for AC Milan this season. In the League and the League Cup, 11 starts, 5 substitutes, 8 goals and 2 assists. Ronaldinho shows extremely efficient.
Ronaldinho's performance is getting better and better. However, this Jedi counterattack after falling behind 02 has nothing to do with Milan's core Kaka.
I'm afraid no one will believe that Kaka is a weak ring of AC Milan.
But in today's game, Kaka's state is indeed not in its best state. You know, in AC Milan, Kaka is the hub of the team's attack, and no one can deny this position.
The team's performance is also closely related to Kaka's status. So far this season, AC Milan's status can be roughly divided into three stages.
First of all, there are three consecutive defeats at the beginning. The team lost to three weak opponents in a row. At the beginning of the season, Kaka was still in the recovery period of summer surgery, and the game with Genoa had just comeback and did not enter the state.
The second stage was a period of Kaka's outstanding performance. AC Milan achieved 11 wins and 1 draw, and the ranking rose like a rocket. During this period, Kaka contributed six assists and four goals in Serie A.
And in the third stage, from then to today, Kaka has only scored one penalty in Serie A. AC Milan has only won one in the UEFA Cup and Serie A. The other two draws in Serie A also occurred on Lecce and Turin. The two draws made them lose not only four points, but also reached the top. The opportunity to be at the top of Serie A. Now, AC Milan is nine points behind the leader Fiorentina.
People can't deny that Kaka can be called excellent even if it is not in the best condition. But the problem is that AC Milan's opponents have become stronger and stronger since then. In the next four rounds of the league, they will play against Juventus, Udinese, Rome and Fiorentina, and in such a game, Kaka's current state is definitely not good.
But what is the reason for the bad state of the card?
The answer is obvious: fatigue.
If Kaka only participates in AC Milan, it's okay. More importantly, he has to represent the Brazilian national team. A recent example is the friendly match between Brazil and Portugal, and Kaka still plays for 90 minutes.
Even in friendly matches, Dunga, who is currently under great pressure, asks for results, and obviously, this is at the expense of his players' physical strength.
After the game, Kaka will not return to Milan until Thursday evening European time at the earliest. The reality of running at both ends makes Kaka unable to play fully in the game.
Fortunately, because Kaka won a yellow card in this game, the next round will be suspended, and Kaka will finally get a rare chance to rest.
At the same time, another advantage for AC Milan is that they can try more. The Christmas tree is proud of Ancelotti, but the effect of the double striker is not bad.
In this game, AC Milan played 4-3-1-2, and after Kaka and Shevchenko played at the same time, Pato and Inzaghi formed a double striker.
In fact, Pato is more suitable for the tactics of double forwards, and this game further proves this point. Strategically, the rich playing method will bring personnel calmness, which is completely beneficial to the rotation of the team.
Therefore, this is more important news for AC Milan than one more Kaka.
In addition to physical fatigue, it is more psychological. Kaka has expressed his disappointment with AC Milan in an interview before, and at the same time, he has to deal with many transfer scandals.
When challenging Portsmouth in the previous League Cup away, the British media lost no time to throw the topic of future destination to AC Milan and the double core Kaka of the Brazilian national team midfielder.
Before that, Kaka talked about the Premier League. "Yes, I like the Premier League very much. There are many European giants and top stars there. I think the Premier League is the best league."
People familiar with this Brazilian superstar know that this answer is "very Kaka". Just when Real Madrid President Calderon announced that he would invest a lot of money to introduce him, Kaka also used words like this Tai Chi pusher to let all the rumors slowly disperse.
However, in the latest interview disclosed by the media, Kaka has a new explanation for his future and his relationship with AC Milan.
"If I have to leave AC Milan one day, the reason for leaving is that the goal I defined for myself has run counter to the goal of AC Milan."
Previously, European media began to reveal that Manchester City once again planned to bring Kaka to the Blue Moon after the failure of its previous plan to acquire Kaka.
Regarding the authenticity of these reports, Kaka said in an interview: "The Premier League is a highly competitive league with many high-level players and strong teams. I think the Premier League is the best league in the world. I don't know when I will play there, but that will It's an exciting thing."
In fact, this is the third time that Kaka has expressed this view in half a year.
After Kaka jumped into the world's top superstar with his own strength and crowned the World Footballer of the World Footballer, the transfer rumors about the Brazilian genius midfielder have never stopped.
As the financial crisis intensified, Europe's "original" capital, after suffering the impact of the financial tsunami, is more difficult to fight against the naked oil offensive from the Middle East.
The current situation is that AC Milan, where Kaka plays, and the chaebol pillar behind the team, have been exhausted under the impact of the financial crisis. At this time, Manchester City, which represents Middle East oil, once again sent his love to Kaka's eyes.
26-year-old Kaka signed a contract with AC Milan in 2013. Although Kaka expressed his gratitude for his goodwill from the Premier League, he still said that he would continue to spend his career in Italy.
However, in fact, under the financial crisis that has swept Europe, Italian football cannot be alone. In recent seasons, AC Milan, as one of the hegemons of Europe, has exposed many problems such as the team's aging and the weakness of the new generation, and its performance in Europe has also been affected. The management club is trying to improve, but if you want to keep the card, you must see the effect as soon as possible.
And assuming that one day they can't compete with Inter Milan in Serie A and can't compete with the British and Western giants in Europe, then that day may be the moment when Kaka said "one day" will come.
Degan was also asked about Kaka, and Degan also looked a little tired: "I don't know where Rikado's future will be. He is an adult and will have his own decisions. You shouldn't ask me at all. No matter where he goes to play football in the future, I will wish him good luck, that is This way!"
Digan is not in the mood to care about Kaka now. Since last year, the rumors about Kaka's transfer have never stopped. Maybe everything will develop like his previous life, but Digan hopes that Kaka can change his fate in Real Madrid.
At present, the most important thing for Degan is the next league and the upcoming World Club Cup.
This will be the first time that Florence will participate in this nominal club's highest competition. Although the level of this event can't be compared with the Champions League, it occupies a "world" name, and it is also within the plan of Degan's six championship.
As long as he is the champion, Degan wants to take it. This is Degan's "greedy" habit, and he has not forgotten the agreement with the Korean girl.
"Mr. Hazawi! Get rid of one thing from you, book a few tickets for the Japanese game, and then send them to a Korean girl named Park Ji-yeon.
