Chapter 238 Champion Sprint

At this time, it is getting closer and closer to AC Milan's last game in the Serie A this season and the most important league, and the final match between the league with Udinese at home.

All transportation points in Milan have almost become the distribution center of AC Milan fans. Airports, railway stations, bus stations, subway stations, and there are crowds of Milan fans coming from all directions. Their ultimate goal is the San Siro Stadium.

On May 18, at noon on the day of the end of the Serie A, the flow of people reached a peak. The surroundings of the San Siro Stadium almost turned into a red and black sea, occasionally mixed with some Udinese fans in black and white jerseys. The two colors are intertwined, and from time to time there will be some quarrels and Entangled, but the Milan police paid high attention to the security of the game. There were many police and security guards among the fans, and the possible conflict was quickly effectively controlled.

An hour before the game, the San Siro Stadium, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people, is already full of seats. The stands are full of banners, banners, team songs resound through the starry sky, and fans sprinkle golden confetti from time to time. Fans have begun to create a champion atmosphere.

Because AC Milan is one point ahead of Inter Milan in the table, as long as AC Milan wins at home, then no matter what score Inter Milan's away game and Parma's game is, the Serie A champion must be AC Milan's.

Fifty-five minutes before the start of the game, when the officials of the Italian Football Association carried the silver championship trophy to the stadium, the scene was boiling, and the fans shouted neatly, "The champion belongs to AC Milan!" "We are the champion!"

At this time, in the home team's locker room, AC Milan's players are preparing for the game.

"Udinese people will certainly not be willing to be our championship background, so Udinese is not easily able to win this game. Everyone must be prepared to fight hard." Ancelotti said, "After the game starts, we have to be the first to win. We can attack for more than ten minutes and put pressure on Udinese's goal as much as possible. It's best to score a goal to take the lead. However, whether it can be successful or not, we can't be impatient. In this game, our only goal is to win, but there is no need to be too nervous. You are not the first rookie to win the championship. I don't need to say more about this."

If it had been in the past, Zhang Yang would make a gag at this time, saying that he was a rookie who had not won the Serie A championship.

However, Zhang Yang was a little silent today. Sitting in his seat was very quiet, which made his teammates feel uncomfortable.

Ronaldo said something. Ronnie was really a little nervous. In the last round of Serie A in the 2001/2002 season, Inter Milan's championship situation was the best in those years. In the last round of the league, they only need to get a point from Lazio away to win the league championship. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the Rome Olympic Stadium. Ronaldo was the closest to the Serie A championship this time. This defeat also became a deep regret and shadow in Ronaldo's heart.

This time, AC Milan only needs to win the opponent Udinese at home to win the league championship as they wish. This is also the first time that Ronaldo has won the Serie A championship. Ronaldo, who had that painful experience, is really nervous now. He is so eager to win the Serie A championship.

Before the game, La Gazzetta dello Sport even said in sensational words, "Serie A owes Ronaldo a Serie A champion."

"Gan Yang!" When the AC Milan players came out to warm up, the huge applause suddenly broke out from the AC Milan fans in the San Siro stands, which shocked the AC Milan players. Some people don't understand, but some people suddenly react.

This is given to Zhang Yang by all fans. No, to be precise, it was given to the rescuers in China's earthquake-stricken areas through Zhang Yang to encourage them to be optimistic, strong and brave to recreate their homes.

Zhang Yang looked around the stands. He was moved, and he also knew what the fans meant.

"Thank you." Zhang Yang bowed slightly to the stands, not as an AC player, but as an ordinary Chinese.

All day, the sky was gloomy. At this time, the raindrops had already fallen, and there seemed to be a tendency to turn into a downpour.

"What the hell! I hate the rain!" Some teammates complained.

Zhang Yang thinks it's nothing. For him, today, no matter what the weather, the opponent, or even the referee, can't stop him from winning the league championship.

Although Zhang Yang doesn't like to play on rainy days. However, he said to himself, it's nothing. It's no different except that the field is a little slippery.

In the past, when I was in China, that court was much worse than the famous 'vegetable field' of San Siro. When it rained, it became muddy. The field was wet, muddy and pitted. At that time, it was not like now. When it rained, you can change a set of long spikes, all short spikes. If you play football on that kind of field, you can follow. Like ice, it's completely untenable. He was still very happy to play football at that time. For him, being able to play on the court was the happiest thing.

Now that the conditions are so good, he can't complain about anything. Moreover, today's game is so important, so important.

Zhang Yang looked at the black veil on his arm to mourn the victims of the Wenchuan earthquake.

Ronaldo slipped and fell while practicing shooting. When he got up again, his buttocks and arms were stained with some dirt. The team doctor on the sidelines was shocked and was afraid that Ronaldo would be injured. He was relieved to see that he seemed to be fine. This game is of great significance to Ronaldo. Head coach Ancelotti has announced the starting list of today's game. Ronaldo will partner with Zhang Yang to learn that he will start, which makes Ronaldo very excited.

Today's publicity is a little silent, and one person silently conducts warm-up exercises.

He sprinted back and ran. He practiced shooting, volleying, and pushing. He even picked up the football and turned the ball with his head, regardless of the muddy water would make his head dirty.

Fee that football is with himself, and Zhang Yang's heart is extremely quiet.

Because it rains and the temperature drops, it takes more time to warm up than before.

After the warm-up, everyone's body was soaked.

"Go back quickly, dry the water on your body, and then change a set of clothes!" Tasoti shouted to every player who ran off the court at the entrance of the player's corridor. Like the players, he was caught in the rain, but he didn't care at all. He reminded the players not to catch a cold, but he seemed to forget whether he would catch a cold because of it.

The players he urged trotted up and walked into the channel.

Zhang Yang looked up at the sky, and the rain fell into his eyes. Then he bowed his head, shook his head, and got into the player's corridor.

Returning to the locker room of the home team, Zhang Yang received a dry towel from the team staff, wiped his body, and then walked into the shower room. After warming up on a rainy day, he must take a hot bath, otherwise it would be easy to catch a cold.

After taking a shower, change into a competition suit. Then, under the supervision of the coach, change the short nails on the sneakers and the long nails specially used for the game in the slippery and muddy field. After all this, everyone sat in their seats and prepared to accept the coach's final pre-match deployment, and then the last game.

"I don't need to talk more about the importance of this game. If we can't win, we will get nothing this season! No one wants to work hard for a season and get nothing, right? Ancelotti paused and looked at his players.

Everyone shakes their heads. Naturally, no one wants to get nothing. Milan is not a team like Udinese, the opponent of today's game. It will be satisfied to enter the European arena. Such a rich team works hard for the glory of the championship almost every season. If it can't win any championship in a season, this It was a failed season for Milan.

"This game is what I said before. Attack as soon as you start the game. Try to score goals early and break the deadlock on the field. If you still can't score after 20 minutes of the game, don't worry. We can slow down and control the rhythm of the game. In short, the game should be controlled in our hands, and there is nothing. No pressure. With your strength, whether it's scoring a goal or winning the game, there is no problem.

"You are already familiar with how to attack. We have been playing like this. But I want to remind you to pay attention to the venue. The rainy field is wet and slippery, and it is a little difficult to fight on the ground. Everyone knows the situation of our stadium. Ancelotti even had a humor, and then he looked at Pirlo.

Pirlo is the 'Milan brain' and the team's offensive hub.

Pirlo nodded, indicating that he knew what to do.

Ancelotti nodded and continued, "I want to emphasize that the field is slippery and easy to fall to the ground. The referee should not be so strict about fouls. You should pay attention to this. While being careful of the other party's fouls, you can also foul appropriately. Don't give the opponent too many free kicks. In such a rainy day game, there are many unexpected factors, and we should avoid such unexpected factors.

Everyone nodded one after another to show that they knew.

"Zhang Yang, when counterattacking, we need your speed and breakthrough." Ancelotti said to Zhang Yang again.

Zhang Yang nodded.

Looking at his players again, Ancelotti said, "Well, there's nothing to say. Let's play, guys. Let's attack the champion!"

"Champion!" Maldini stood up, raised his right arm and shouted.

"Champion!" Everyone raised their right arms and shouted in unison.

"In a certain area of AC Milan striker Zhang Yang's motherland, there was a big earthquake. The Milan club, including Zhang Yang himself, made donations to the disaster area. The game has not yet started. During the warm-up just now, Zhang Yang received the applause and support of the fans. This is the support for Zhang Yang, and also Support and encouragement for survivors of the earthquake.

"The opponent of Inter Milan in this round of the league is Parma, and now this Parma can hardly pose any threat to Mancini's team. And the players of Inter Milan also expressed their confidence in winning Parma.

"... This is a trophy competition for the relationship champion. As long as AC Milan can win the game, they will automatically become the league champions of the Serie A in the 2007/2008 season, regardless of the opponent's results. Since losing the Milan derby in the last round of the league, the fate of the Inter Milan has not been in his hands.

"Before the start of this game, the players from both sides will observe a moment of silence for the victims of the earthquake in China. This was first proposed by AC Milan, and Udinese also agreed. After discussion, the Italian Football Association agreed to AC Milan's request."

After the warm-up, the AC Milan players returned to the locker room again. After a short break, they will return to the stadium again and make a final sprint to the Serie A champion this season.

At the same time, in the locker room of another stadium, Mancini is mobilizing for the last time before the war. "This game must be won. As for the score on the other field, there is no need to pay attention to it. It is useless to pay attention to those now. Only by winning your own game first can you be qualified to consider it. What is it?"

Mancini took a look at his players and took a deep breath and said, "This is the last game I coach you. I hope to leave with victory and championship. Here, I would like to thank you for our pleasant cooperation over the past few seasons. I wish you can create greater glory in the following seasons.

Inter Milan captain Zanetti, on behalf of the whole team, also expressed his gratitude to Mancini for his contributions to the team in the past few seasons.

Subsequently, Sanetti also appealed to all the players to give the victory and championship as gifts to the outgoing Mancini.

The players have also aroused great enthusiasm. Although everyone knows that there may be no problem in winning this game, winning the league championship is not only enough to win the game, but also depends on the faces of others. Now they can only hope that Udinese can work miracles at the San Siro Stadium.

It's really uncomfortable to put your fate on others.

AC Milan's wardrobe is a little dull because this game is related to winning the league championship.

But in the dressing room of the visiting team Udinese, it was lively like a bar. In the sound of music, everyone chatted casually and didn't pay attention to the upcoming game at all. Udinese has qualified for the UEFA Cup next season ahead of schedule this season. It should be said that he has no desire. To put it rudely, the players may already be thinking about where to go on vacation after the end of the season.

Head coach Marino came in. He stepped forward and turned down the music. Then look at your own players. This season, Udinese performed well under his leadership, so Marino is also in a good mood now. He saw that the players were a little too relaxed and didn't say much.

"I don't need to say anything more about this game. You just need to play according to the tactical deployment mentioned before. In this game, our opponents are bound to fight for the league championship, and they are bound to work hard. I don't have any special requirements for you. You just need to swing according to the normal level. Don't forget that you are wearing Udinese jerseys. Even if this game has no impact on our league ranking, don't relax!"

In fact, Marino himself did not mean much nervous when saying this. This game is a very ordinary Serie A for Udinese. They have no reason to fight hard. Of course, Udinese will not let go. In short, as Marino said, just play normally. It is.

"...Well, the players from both sides have appeared. Let's introduce the players from both sides."

AC Milan (4-3-2-1): 16-Karachi/44-Odo, 25-Bonella, 4-Karaze, 3-Martini/8-Gatuso, 21-Pirlo, 23-Ambrosini/22-Kaka/99-Ronaldo, 7-Zhangyang;

"In this game, Nesta accumulated a yellow card suspension, so Bonella appeared in the position of centre-back, and his partner was Karaze, who recovered from injury, Maldini appeared in the position of left-back, the right-back was Odo, Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini and Kaka in the midfield, and Zhang on the forward line. Jan and Ronaldo's partner.

"This game is also the last game between Cafu and Serginho in San Siro. The two Brazilians will retire, so now a short farewell ceremony is being held for them on the court."

Both Cafu and Sergio wore the Milan flag and waved to the Milan fans in the stands. The fans stood up and gave them applause, thanking the two Brazilian players for their contributions to the team over the years.

Both of them have tears in their eyes. Saying goodbye to their favorite green field is a painful choice for every player.

"Let's take a look at Udinese's starting list."

Udinese (3-4-3): 22-Handanovic/21-Zapototsni, 6-Koda, 2-Sapata/20-Mesto, 11-Pingzi, 88-Inle, 8-Docena/7-Pepe, 27-Qualiarella, 10-Dinatale.

AC Milan should be careful of the tridents of Pepe, Quagliarella and Di Natale, especially the forward combination of Quagliarella and Di Natale, which is one of the most successful front-line partners in Serie A this season. Because this game is related to the league championship, AC Milan will definitely attack, but in the attack At the same time, they should be careful of Udinese's sneak attack, especially Di Natale, who always has a good performance against the big team. When the commentator analyzed Udinese's starting list, he especially reminded AC Milan.

It also focuses on reminding you to be careful of Dinatale!
