Chapter 209 Opportunities and Opportunities
Seeing Ibrahimovic's goal and helping Inter Milan surpass the score, the AC Milan players are not energetic and do not want to continue watching the game. They all honestly returned to their room to prepare for a lunch break. However, looking at their low mood, I guess no one can have a good rest.
Zhang Yang didn't give up, walked back slowly, looked at the TV, and saw Ibrahimovic's high-quality shot again. He almost scored, so he shook his head depressedly and walked away. Look at this situation, Siena may really continue to be stabbed a few times.
It's better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. I don't think so much. Let's win the game with Naples first.
After the lunch break, the players came out in twos and threes. Zhang Yang felt muscle soreness and was about to go to the masseuse for a massage when he saw the physiotherapist Dario Lorenzo Ford passing by with an excited face.
"Hi, Dario, I'm about to ask you to massage my leg muscles." Zhang Yang greeted Dario Lorenzo Ford.
"What's going on?" Dario Lorenzo Ford asked that Zhang Yang is the key protection object specially explained by head coach Ancelotti. Naturally, Dario Lorenzo Ford also knew the importance of Zhang Yang to the team. Hearing Zhang Yang say so, he asked.
"It's no big deal, it's just muscle aches." Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Well, okay, I'll give you a massage later." Dario Lorenzo Ford said that muscle soreness is a common part of players. The big reason is that it is caused by excessive fatigue. Modern football, the competition is becoming more and more intensive, and the players' physical consumption is extremely high, and almost no player can play a complete season.
"Bear by the way, is there anything to be happy about?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
"You don't know?" Dario Lorenzo Ford asked in surprise.
"What?" Zhang Yang was stunned.
"It's flat. Don't you know?" Dario Lorenzo Ford continued to be surprised.
"Is it flat? What's flat?" Zhang Yang suddenly shouted, "Dario, do you mean that Inter Milan and Siena are tied?"
"That's right." Dario Lorenzo Ford nodded happily.
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"That's great. Hahahaha!" Zhang Yang laughed out loud. Inter Milan was forced to draw by Siena, which is really good news. If AC Milan can beat Napoli away, they will only be two points behind Inter Milan! Don't forget that there is another Milan derby. As long as you win Inter Milan in that game, AC Milan will be able to truly control its own destiny on the road to the championship without looking at other people's faces! Of course, they must win Naples first and pass the Naples barrier.
Seeing Zhang Yang's excited appearance, Dario Lorenzo Ford was also happy. Yes, this news is simply the best news for Milan.
"What's the date?"
"Two to two!"
"Who scored the goal?" Zhang Yang asked, he naturally asked who helped Siena score the goal.
Enriko. Chiesa. He was knocked down by Cesar, got a penalty, and hit his own penalty.
"COOL!"
Soon, everyone knew that Inter Milan was hit by Siena 2-2 at home. The news of the draw suddenly cheered loudly, and everyone's faces showed smiles.
This is a smile from the bottom of my heart. Because now, AC Milan can really see the hope of winning the league championship.
"Inter Milan's home game is 2-2 Siena!"
"Inter Milan is tied at home!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"
"That's great!"
"H Long live!"
"Our opportunity is coming!"
"H Long live Siena!"
"Ah ha ha! It's up to us now!"
"Gnaro, didn't you say that Siena couldn't count on it?" Zhang Yang put his arms around Gattuso's neck and said.
"Haha, long live Siena." Gattuso laughed, and then he said with a smile, "I don't believe you would think that Siena could draw with Inter Milan at that time."
Everyone shook their heads. To be honest, no one really thought that Siena would surprise everyone. Again, it is because it is a surprise and an unexpected harvest that makes everyone more excited and inexplicably.
Now, Inter Milan is tied by Siena, which is great news. Next, as long as they beat Naples away from home, they can narrow the gap between Inter Milan to two points!
Before the next round of the league and Inter Milan's Milan derby, it is a happy event to be able to narrow the score to the victory or defeat of a game. This made the whole team excited and confident.
When he took the bus to the home stadium of Naples, Ancelotti also spoke to the whole team in the bus:
"Everyone knows the result of the match between Inter Milan and Siena. This is an opportunity for us! If we can win the game against Naples, we will only be two points behind Inter Milan, but please pay attention, guys!" Ancelotti raised a finger and said, "There is a prerequisite. We must be able to win Naples and retreat from the São Paulo Stadium! I won't say more about this stadium. This game will not be easy. Now, the opportunity has appeared. Whether we can seize it or not depends on your performance. No one wants to regret not grasping it when hope appears in front of us at the end of the season.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Good, this game--" Ancelotti nodded seriously, "It must be taken!"
Ancelotti said what happened at the St. Paul Stadium, and the players should know. As we do know, this stadium is horrible for any team. This is the absolute devil's court.
Football is a religious belief in Naples. Even if you pass by the stadium when there is no game, you seem to be able to faintly hear the song from it. The Naples City Council has requested that the name of the São Paulo Stadium be changed to Maradona Stadium in memory of its helping Naples win the Serie A championships in 1987 and 1990. But it was rejected. Fans must be familiar with the 1990 World Cup semi-finals against Italy for Maradona. Naples can be so crazy about Maradona because this Argentine brought them the championship and the long-awaited glory. In order to thank this Argentine, they even chose to support Argentina when the Italian national team played against Argentina. Not to mention whether this is right or wrong, we can completely see how crazy this city is for football.
São Paulo Stadium, the holy place in the hearts of all Naples fans! No matter which country chooses the top ten devils in the world, this stadium will definitely be among them.
In this home court, Naples can often exert great energy.
The game lasted for 35 minutes, and the score on the field was still zero.
Westoff faced the defense of a Neapolitan defender. Instead of continuing to carry the ball, he stopped. At the same time, I am observing the situation in front of me and waiting for my teammates to plug in.
The boos of Neapolitan fans sounded from the stands of the stadium. They know the ball very well and know when to make such a huge boo to disturb the visiting players.
Sedorff was unmoved. The Dutch veteran crossed his legs and circled his right foot around the football. Seeing that his opponent had no intention of moving, he planned to go around again.
The defender can't calm down. He doesn't know when Sedorf is making a fake move and when he is ready to pass, so he must be ready to tackle at any time. This nerve is so tight that it's really uncomfortable.
Seedorf seemed to have guessed that the opponent's mood was made impatient by him. He immediately hit the football with his left foot. This time, the defender shoveled the football without hesitation!
But he didn't tackle the ball. Because Seydorf was one step ahead of him, pulled the football and passed it out.
Pirlo plugged in and received the football.
After Pirlo broke through the interception of a Neapolitan player, he continued to dribble the ball forward. In the face of another connection, he suddenly passed the ball, which was passed to Seedorf, who came to receive it.
These two people have been playing football together for many years, with a tacit understanding and often able to make wonderful cooperation.
This time it was like this time. Seedorf came up. He faced the ball and did not stop the ball at all. Instead, he picked up the football in the running. This move was unexpected. Cannavaro, the Neapolitan captain who had just come up to intercept, looked up and watched the football pass over his head and then fell to the front.
A person appeared on the football line!
That's publicity!
Little Cannavaro was shocked. He subconsciously looked at the ede. The ede did not say anything, and the referee's whistle did not sound.
No offside!
Zhang Yang rushed to the football. He padd the football with his chest and immediately took the ball to the goal.
"Single knife!"
"Opportunity to publicize!"
"The goalkeeper attacked!"
Naples's goalkeeper decisively abandoned the door and attacked without any hesitation. He could not give too much space and shooting angle.
In the high-speed driving, Zhang Yang glanced at the attacking goalkeeper, and then he suddenly picked up his toes.
The hanging door!
The goalkeeper retreated repeatedly and wanted to reach the football, but he failed to reach the football. Instead, he stepped back two steps in a row, leaned back, and accidentally fell to the ground. I could only watch the football pass back and fly into the empty door.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh - hanging shot - the ball is scored!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAL!"
"ZHANG-GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh - Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful! Zhang'sgoal!"
At the moment when the football fell off the net, countless Milan fans in front of the TV jumped up. They raised their arms and shouted, "Huge live! Zhang Yang!!"
"One to zero! The ball is scored!"
"Bang Yang's goal! He helped Milan break the deadlock on the field!"
After scoring the goal, Zhang Yang was so excited that he even made three flips in a row. His teammates were also extremely excited. Before this goal came, they were under great pressure. Now that they have scored, everyone is finally relieved.
"This is a crucial goal!" The commentator shouted.
That's right, this is a crucial goal. This is also the only goal in the whole game. Zhang Yang's goal helped AC Milan take three points from the St. Paul Stadium away!
This is a crucial three-pointer, after winning this game, because Inter Milan was bis-2 by Siena in the first game. It's a draw, so now, after this round, with two rounds left in the league, AC Milan is only two points behind Inter Milan, and the next round of the league is Milan Derby. Milan only needs to win Inter Milan in the game to achieve a reversal in points!
It can be said that this is a crucial goal and a crucial victory.
However, after the game, the expression on the face of AC Milan coach Ancelotti could not be seen how happy he was.
Because more than 60 minutes into the second half of the game, Zhang Yang was shoveled by Cannavaro Jr. and left the field injured, and Gilardino came on as a substitute.
AC Milan's team doctor Armando Gozini just looked at the injury at that time, and his face was immediately grim, which also made Ancelotti's heart thump.
"How's it going?" Ancelotti asked nervously at that time.
"It will take at least a week. The game against Manchester United will definitely not be played in the middle of next week. The match between Inter and Milan over the weekend depends on the recovery.
"I ¥...%!" At that time, Ancelotti cursed.
The publicity injury has faded the joy of the AC Milan team's victory. After a season, Zhang Yang won the trust of the whole team. Everyone even has 'Zhang Yang's dependence' to some extent. They feel that as long as Zhang Yang is on the court, he will definitely be able to score goals, and there is no need to worry about scoring goals. No matter how bad the situation is, he does not seem to be desperate. There is always a way to equalize the score. Able to overtake the score.
It's not easy to conquer your teammates in just one season!
After the game, Zhang Yang's physical report came out. Armando Gozini finally confirmed that Zhang Yang was injured in the match with Naples and will be absent for about a week. He will definitely not play in the second round of Manchester United's Champions League. And Inter Milan's Milan derby may be able to play. The opportunity to start the game is terrible.
After the official report came out, Ancelotti was no longer so depressed. It was already like this. No matter how depressed he was, there was nothing he could do. What reassured Ancelotti a little is that Zhang Yang should be able to catch up with the match between Inter Milan! This game is crucial for AC Milan this season!
Of course, it doesn't mean that the game with Manchester United is not important. On the contrary, this game is even more important!
In the cup, if Manchester United can be eliminated, AC Milan will reach the final of this season's Champions League! It only takes one more game to achieve the feat of defending the title!
In the league, if they can win the Milan derby, AC Milan will reverse Inter Milan in the table and really have the initiative to win the league championship!
However, in the Champions League, AC Milan drew 3-0 away from Manchester United in the first round, which laid a good foundation for the second round next week. AC Milan doesn't even need to win at home, but a score of zero or 1-0, or 2-2 can eliminate Manchester United. Level.
So, think about it, although Zhang Yang was absent due to injury, Ancelotti is still confident that the team will eliminate Manchester United in the second round of the middle of the week and get tickets to the final.
And other players of AC Milan also expressed their confidence.
Ronaldo and others said in an interview that Zhang Yang's absence was a big loss for the team, but they would win the game and give Zhang Yang a gift with the final tickets.
It is understandable that the teammates said this. This is a normal statement. However, the subsequent remarks by Berlusconi, the president of AC Milan Club, caused a lot of controversy.
In an interview with the BBC, Berlusconi expressed his regret for Zhang Yang's absence and Manchester United's game. "Zhang Yang can't play? It's a pity that he and Cristiano Ronaldo are excellent young people, and the confrontation between these two young people is the highlights of the game.
When asked about his confidence in whether AC Milan can advance to the finals, Berlusconi seemed to be very confident, but some words seemed to have passed, at least he didn't like to listen to it.
"However, I have no doubt that AC Milan can advance to the finals! Milan is a great team. We have the DNA of the Champions League, and we will not suddenly lose this DNA because of the absence of a player. This is the DNA integrated into the blood. Haha, if there is anyone indispensable in AC Milan, it is Kaka. Until now, I am still marveling at Kaka's magical performance last season. He reappeared this brave performance in last week's game against Manchester United. He is now the best star on the planet.
It is no secret that Berlusconi likes Kaka. In Bei's eyes, Kaka's image is almost perfect, handsome, sunny, extraordinary, polite, from a middle-class family, in line with the aristocratic label of AC Milan.
There is nothing wrong with Berlusconi praising Kaka, but he should not only talk about Kaka's contribution to the team at this time and avoid talking about Zhang Yang's contribution.
When he heard the reporter of Roma Sport relaying Berlusconi's words, Zhang Yang was stunned and said, "Kaka is my teammate and my good friend. Although I can't play, I have no doubt that the team can advance to the final, because the team has many great things like Kaka. Teammates."
Then, Zhang Yang ignored the call of the reporter and left straight away.
As soon as he turned around, his face looked ugly.
Zhang Yang is not angry with Kaka. He has always had a good relationship with Kaka. He was angry with the man who said this.
At this moment, the young man realized that he may never be the flag and absolute core of Milan.
Just because in the eyes of the big boss, his image is far worse than that of Kaka.
At this moment, I was in a bad mood because I was absent from the second round of the game, and I was even more unhappy.

In the past few days, I have been quarreling with the pig sister-in-law. The pig's head is also aware of this, which is very bad. The pig sister-in-law also cares about the pig's head.
