Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 151 Messi? He is not qualified enough!

The media is still speculating about the zero-angle goal, and Inter Milan fans and AC Milan fans are still fighting because of the publicity.

Three days later, in the middle of the week. The twenty-ninth round of Serie A in the 2007/2008 season has arrived.

AC Milan away against Turin.

The name Turin is not strange, because in this big city of Italy, there is an Italian rich family, yes, Juventus.

However, after coming to the Apennine Peninsula, Zhang Yang knew that in fact, Turin, this now very inconspicuous team, the team that always wanders in the relegation zone of Serie A, is the symbol of the city of Turin. Even today, many hardcore Italian fans in Turin think so.

As the earliest team in Italy, Turin was founded in 1890, formerly known as the Turin International Team. In 1906, they almost won the first national championship after its establishment. Due to a draw by Genoa in the last game, they conceded the championship to AC Milan by one point. In the 1927/28 season, Turin won the first league trophy in the club's history.

Italian football in the 1930s and 1940s belonged to a city - Turin.

In the first decade, Juventus, led by boss Edoaldo Añelli, won the only five-game winning serie A championship in the history of more than 100 years. In the five years from the 1930/31 season to the 1934/35 season, they won 115 in 166 games, drew 30 and lost 21 games, scored 384 goals and lost 157 goals.

In the 1940s, when many Juventini's grandparents were not born, Turin was the undisputed hegemon of Serie A football. At that time, the iron hooves of the Red Bulls were rampant in Italy, trampling everywhere. 42/43, 45/56, 46/47, 47/48, 48/49 Turin dominated Serie A for five consecutive seasons. The only thing that could stop their iron hooves was war - if not the terrible "World War II" The fire blocked the Turin people's dream of domineering. Almost everyone believes that the Red Bull, which has three super forwards, Mazola, Gabberto and Ferraris, and nine Italian main international players, will achieve the supreme feat of seven consecutive championships in the five major leagues set by Lyon over the years!

However, what the war can't erase is the unprecedented strength of Turin. These five league tops, except for the first time, almost all of them secured the championship early with an absolute advantage. In the 1946/1947 season, Turin scored a record 104 goals in the whole season, a huge advantage of 10 points ahead of the second place Juventus. Win the championship. In this fantastic season, Turin stepped on the team and washed away almost all the powerful opponents, and Mazola was also awarded the best scorer with 29 goals.

However, in the next 1947/1948 season, Turin defended the championship with more jaw-dropping brilliant results: the terrible 125 goals in the whole season broke its own record (more than Milan's 49 goals), and led the second place Milan and Juventus by 16 points. The super advantage of the front and the back reached the top (at that time, it was still a 2-point system, equivalent to a gap of 8 games). It is also worth mentioning that Turin also created the most "bloody tragedy" in the history of Serie A in the season: they defeated Alessandria with a terrible score of 10:0 at home. The only drawback of the season is that Juve's first-generation flag won the best scorer from Masola in Turin by 2 goals...

At that time, Turin was not only in the league. Moreover, the Italian team at that time was also completely based on Turin, and in several international matches, the Red Bulls actually won 10 of the starting 11 players. At the most glorious time of the Turin team, the Italian team's starting eleven players, except for the goalkeeper, were all Turin players. According to legend, there was a friendly match. Since the starting lineup was almost all Turin players, the Italian coach simply let the Italian team wear the red Turin jersey, and Mazola also wore the captain's armband like in Turin.

With the strong and perverted Turin team as the team, the Italian national team will not be much worse. They are also invincible masters of world football.

That team has emerged a lot of Italian football elites, Grandi, Gomberto, Feralis... But the most famous of them, and the most successful is Valentino Mazzola, the urban hero cultivated by Turin itself. In the eyes of many people, Mazzola to Turin is even greater than Maradona to Naples.

For a long time, people have been discussing: who can defeat this invincible teacher of that year? Fate, the terrible fate gives the most cruel and accurate answer: it is fate itself!!! If the Munich air crash is a pain that can never be erased in the hearts of the Red Devils; the Hassel tragedy is a black memory that Tini never wants to remember; then the Suenigian air crash is the Acreus heel of the invincible Turin team in the 1940s, as well as the unforgettable painful memories of Turin fans and the root of the long ice age.

Then maybe such an achievement is so dazzling that even God is jealous, or maybe it's just because "God is not a Turin fan". This is the greatest invincible division in the history of world football, the Turin team! But the whole army was destroyed because of a sudden air crash.

On May 4, 1949, the Turin team returned home after the Latin Cup match between Lisbon and Benfica, Portugal. The plane crashed. The plane carrying the greatest player and the greatest team of that era crashed into Mount Sunega near Turin. Turin's great soldiers went on an expedition to Lisbon, but, But they never came back, and they could never come back when they were only one step away from their doorstep.

When the bodies of the victims were carried back to Turin, all the Turin fans gathered around the streets, sobbing, and the whole city was full of tears.

Even the fans of Juventus, the sworn enemy of the same city, also came to mourn. This day is not only the sad day of the Turin team, but also the darkest and saddest day in the whole Italian football world.

Italian football lost the greatest group of stars, while Turin lost a complete team. The whole team is gone!

On that day, Turin's red uniform became dazzling because of blood.

After the air crash, with a few rounds left in the league, Turin did not even have a first team, so they had no choice but to send a youth team to participate. At this time, the most touching scene happened, and all their remaining opponents also sent their own youth teams to compete with them. This allowed the Turin team to finally win the championship and complete their four consecutive championships, but they can no longer catch up with the "five consecutive championships" record set by Juventus in the last decade. In the second year of the league, the demented Turin team did not even enter the top three.

Since then, not only the invincible Turin team has disappeared, but the Turin club has also begun a real and complete sinking (except for the 75/76 season champion, the runner-up of the 91/92 season of the UEFA Cup and the three Italian Cup championships). The opponents in the same city have been stepping on their feet for a long time, and there is no desire to compete: the team began to frequently return to Class A and B and most of the time has fallen to Class B! This Italian oldest team (none of them) has faded out of people's sight for a long time.

However, even so, the stubborn and loyal Turiners can still gain the upper hand in the number of fans in this city with the most successful clubs in Italy, and force Juventus to reduce the size of the Alpi Stadium! It can be seen that the fans of this team are proud!

Although Turin's fan group is extremely strong, they can never replace the team to play. They can never change the essence of the team's weakness.

Later, in the 1980s, the Italian foreign star market, which had been closed for many years, opened up, and the Italian Football League was brilliant and gradually became known as the "Little World Cup". However, due to the lack of strong consortium support, the Turin team was unable to buy big stars to enrich themselves, and then they became league elevators and kept struggling between Class A, Class B and Class C.

By the 1992/93 season, when they defeated Rome and won the Coppa Italia, the once glorious "Red Bull Dynasty" left the world with only a depressed back, which made countless people sigh.

There have been many football tragedies in history. The Hessel tragedy is the most well-known because of the media publicity, as well as the Manchester United Munich air crash. However, since Zhang Yang has learned about the history of Turin, he has always thought that the most painful thing is the Sunika air crash in Turin. Because a once glorious dynasty suddenly disappeared at the most dazzling time, an invincible great team with that explosion, never again!

The Munich air crash left a few seeds for Manchester United, while the Sunika air crash in Turin did not even leave any seeds for Turin.

The match between AC Milan and Turin is coming, and some ulicious reporters are trying to provoke misunderstandings and festivals between Zhang Yang and Turin.

However, they don't know that this Chinese young man has always paid tribute to the team.

"I know the great history of Turin. They are one of the greatest teams on the planet. Although they are not in good condition now, Turin fans are one of the greatest fans on the planet. They, like this team, deserve to be respected.

In an interview with the media, Zhang Yang said so.

The reporters were surprised to hear him say this. They didn't expect that Zhang Yang would say such a thing, and they had never seen this person send such respect to his upcoming opponent.

Reporters can even feel that when they say this, they are sincere, and those words are not polite.

Zhang Yang paid tribute to Turin, and the fans of Turin also retribution for it.

Turin's fan organization thanked Zhang Yang for his respect for Turin, and they also praised Zhang Yang as the most talented shooter in football today.

"He is a good boy. He works hard and never gives up. He is worthy of respect. He brings joy to the fans with a goal. We can imagine how happy the fans will be with a team. The media always said that he was not good, but we didn't see those. The people of Turin liked him." - Pasquale, the leader of the Turin fan organization, said.

Zhang Yang did not expect that his words would win such love and admiration from Turin fans. This made him sigh with emotion.

Another thing happened during this period. In the home game between AC Milan and Sampdoria, Zhang Yang scored a zero-angle goal at the last moment of the game, helping the team equalize the score. After scoring the goal, he was excited to take off his clothes to celebrate. However, the referee on duty seemed to be stunned by Zhang Yang's goal. Unexpectedly, he didn't show a yellow card to Zhang Yang, otherwise, Zhang Yang would have been sent off with two yellows and one red.

This also caused protests from Juventus, Inter Milan and Rome. Obviously, they all know the importance of publicity to AC Milan.

When Kaka's condition this season declined compared with the last season, Zhang Yang occupied more positions in Ancelotti's offensive territory.

The referee on duty also responded to this matter. He admitted that he was also shocked by the great goal, but he denied that he had forgotten to play the yellow card. He said that his idea at that time was that in the face of such a goal, the madness of the players was understandable. The act of undressing and celebrating should be allowed. Of.

"If I get a yellow card at that time, I guess you will say that I don't understand the amorous feelings again." The referee said.

Inter Milan, Rome and Juventus are dissatisfied, believing that the referee has violated the referee's rules. The referee's committee was asked to add a red card to Zhang Yang.

At this time, the referee's committee stood firmly on the side of the referee, saying that although yellow cards are usually issued for stripping celebrations, whether to get a yellow card depends on the referee. Since the referee on duty believes that there is no need for a yellow card, then it is not necessary.

It is worth mentioning that the opponent of AC Milan in that game, Sampdoria's goalkeeper Castellazzi, also stood up and thought it was right that the referee did not play a yellow card.

And AC Milan's upcoming opponent, Turin, did not make any protest about this. Although it would be more beneficial for Turin if Zhang Yang was banned, now the Turin team has a good impression of Zhang Yang, and the president of Turin also said publicly, "The referee's behavior is to be praised. I saw that advance. The ball, such a great goal, can't be celebrated.

Since the bitter owner Sampdoria and AC Milan's next opponent Turin didn't say anything, the media hyped it up.

On March 22, 2008, the 30th round of Serie A; Turin VS Milan.

In this game, AC Milan beat Turin 0-1 away.

In the 31st minute of the game, Zhang Yang took advantage of a corner kick to header the goal and set a record for the team. This is also his 24th goal in Serie A in the 2007/2008 season.

After the goal, he didn't celebrate much in order to thank the Turin fans.

When Zhang Yang was replaced by Gilardino in the 71st minute of the game, the whole game was full of applause. Not only the AC Milan fans in the stand of the visiting team, but also the Turin team at home also applauded Zhang Yang.

This moved Zhang Yang very much.

This also touched Zhang Yang very much. Respect is mutual. He rewarded him with respect and sympathy for the team's glory and suffering, but he gained more.

This incident also made the young man's mood begin to mature. Of course, if someone takes the initiative to provoke him, he is still the one who must be blamed.

In fact, to be honest, he really rarely takes the initiative to cause trouble.

AC Milan beat Turin 0-1 away, and Inter Milan lost in this round. Inter Milan lost 1-2 at home to Juventus, ending the unbeaten record of 18 rounds at home since April 7 last year, and the point advantage shrank to 4 points. In the first half, Stankovic headed the ball to the middle crossbar. Shortly after the beginning of the second half, Camoranesi broke the deadlock, but he was suspected of being offside. Trezeguet has since expanded the score, and he also continued to consolidate the third place in the scorer list with 17 goals. Inter substitute Manice recovered a point before the end of the game, after which he also hit the post.

The loss to Juventus at home gave AC Milan the hope of winning the league. Now, AC Milan is only four points behind Inter Milan in the league!

With eight rounds left in the league, the difference of four points is no longer a big problem.

In the game against Juventus, Ibrahimovic failed to score goals. Now, in the scorer list, Zhang Yang is four goals ahead of Ibrahimovic.

In addition, in the key match with Juventus, Ibrahimovic was 'lashe' again, which also made Ibra receive criticism. People began to say that at the critical moment, he was promoted to Ibra.

Obviously, we can fully imagine how angry Ibrahimovic would be when he heard such a discussion, but he couldn't help it, because he was really not strong enough at the critical moment.

After Inter Milan lost to Juventus, it was Ibrahimovic who attracted the most attention of the media, but Inter Milan head coach Mancini. In the face of media accusations, Mancini resigned angrily. Subsequently, after communication between club owner Moratti and Mancini, Mancini withdrew his resignation decision. Mancini announced his resignation and withdrew this time, and then said bitterly to the media: "In Serie A, winning is the coach's credit, and losing is definitely the coach's responsibility."

Obviously, the media did not let Mancini go. They began to criticize him, but the focus of the media's criticism was not that Inter Milan lost 0-1 to Juventus, but to settle old accounts with Mancini, who still took Inter Milan's two-round loss to Liverpool in the eighth quarter-final of the Champions League.

"Losing to Liverpool, Mancini once again proved that when the real big scene came, there was nothing he could do. Like the 1992 Champions League final, he could only accept defeat. The difference is that as a coach, he is very lucky to repeat the Champions League test year after year; and as a player, he has very few opportunities.

Mancini is much luckier than those coaches at the bottom. With the help of his fame in the player era, he started from a high starting point, and he specialized in the cup and became the cup coach. Usually, the Coppa Italia is a second-team competition that few people care about. His Lazio second team and Inter Milan second team are far stronger than other teams.

Mancini entered Inter Milan by successfully coaching Lazio. But driving the Blue Eagles, he won in a special environment: at that time, Lazio was on the verge of bankruptcy and was unable to pay his salary. Mancini encircled the team with his personal relationship with the players. After that, he transferred to the international players, Mihailović, Stankovic and Cesar all had a close relationship with Mancini. After coaching International for four seasons, Mancini has hardly trained a player who can rise to the top. Instead, he broke up and discarded many of the original international and quite powerful combat combinations. The most obvious is Adriano and Martins, who were originally known as "partners in the next ten years", but now they are far apart. Ade was so fierce in the 2004-05 season. On some occasions, it was completely Mancini's savior, but the Brazilian has now become a typical example of being used. That year, the Coppa Italia final clashed with the schedule of the Confederations Cup, and Ade played four games in a row in 12 days. With the passage of time, Mancini has now turned against anyone.

Whether it is seniority, skills, on-the-spot scheduling or interpersonal treatment, Mancini is more suitable for a team in a special environment like Lazio. He can't control a century-old giant like the world. Now Manjo is the longest-serving coach under Moratti, which has quite special historical reasons. At the end of the 2005-06 season, Mancini actually had difficulty in lasting, but a "call" saved him. He is in Quit. Rossi gave him a champion in the league. When he was in a stalemate, he opened the situation with a penalty, but when it was really time to take out all his capital, his ability suddenly disappeared.

The rash sentence "I quit" is like a child's play as the 180-degree turn the next day. This is a child who has been spoiled since the days of Bologna, Sampdoria and Lazio. Even as a coach, he still hasn't grown up. This time, "Torino Sports" took out the strength of the black mancini.

Juventus still insists that the 'telephone door' incident was planned by Moratti, so as long as they get a little chance, they will fire at Inter Milan. I'm afraid that Inter Milan is too comfortable.

For Juventus firing at Inter Milan, AC Milan is naturally happy to see that if Inter Milan has a problem because of too much pressure, this is undoubtedly good news for AC Milan, who is eager to chase points in the league.

On March 30, 2008, the 31st round of Serie A; AC Milan VS Atlanta; In this game, AC Milan beat the opponent 1-0 at home and played for 60 minutes, but failed to score. In the words of Milan Sport, "The Ferrari sports car, which has been starting with all its strength, finally stopped."

In the same round, Ibrahimovic's goal helped Inter Milan win the opponent. He also raised his league goals to 21 goals, and now he is still three goals behind Zhang Yang.

Now, the whole Apennine Peninsula is starting to talk about a game, and AC Milan's first leg of the 2007/2008 Champions League quarter-finals is coming.

AC Milan played against Barcelona in the first leg!

AC Milan VS Barcelona, this is a battle between Mars and Earth at any time.

The media are also paying attention to AC Milan's home game against Barcelona. In the 2005/2006 season, before the phone door broke out, the two teams met in the Champions League knockout match. AC Milan lost 0-1 at home and was eliminated 0-1 away. However, until now, AC Milan insists on admitting The goal that AC striker Shepchenko was blown off at Camp Nou was fatal

Misjudgment, that goal will ensure that AC Milan equalizes the score, but it was cancelled by the referee.

"In Shevchenko's goal for AC Milan, we will always remember this goal at Camp Nou." Galliani said so.

The old grudges two years ago have provided too many topics for the two teams this time.

"There is no doubt that Barcelona's lineup is strong, but the power of AC Milan's home court cannot be ignored. What will this game look like? There was a lot of voice before the game. We interviewed AC Milan's striker Zhang Yang and listened to what he said. The Chinese media is more active and has been reporting on the game two weeks ago. They regard this game as the most important game since Zhang Yang joined AC Milan, even more eye-catching than AC Milan's previous match with Arsenal.

Because in Barcelona, there is a Messi who is now famous.

AC Milan has last year's World Footballer of the Year's Player Caka, while Barcelona has the year before last year's World Footballer Ronaldinho.

"He said that Barcelona is very strong, but AC Milan will not be afraid to face Barcelona at all, because AC Milan is stronger than Barcelona. Zhang Yang said that his goal is to score goals in the game, win for AC Milan with goals, and also win the confrontation with Messi!"

"When did I say that?" Zhang Yang learned from Zhong Dajun's words about the media report and asked in surprise, "You just think of the game."

"You said, you should try your best to help the team win at home." Zhong Dajun asked.

"That's right, I said it." Zhang Yang nodded.

"You said you were going to score a goal." Zhong Dajun continued to ask.

"This, I did say that." Zhang Yang agreed again.

"You see, you all admit what you said. Is it fake for me to report like that?" Zhong Dajun opened his hands and asked.

"Well--" Zhang Yang rolled his eyes, "I mean, when did I say that I would win the confrontation with Messi?"

Zhong Dajun is in high spirits. Doesn't Zhang Yang have confidence in winning the confrontation with Messi? This is really big news. Zhang Yang in his impression has always been full of confidence.

"Do you have no confidence in winning the match with Messi?"

"How is that possible?" Zhang Yang waved his hand and he corrected, "Now, there is only one opponent in my eyes, that is Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi? He is not qualified yet."

"Ah, ah, ah." Zhong Dajun was stunned. "You know, how angry you would be if the Catalans heard this."

"It's none of my business." Zhang Yang disdained it. He sneered.

PS: In the 2007/2008 season, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was indeed much better than Messi's. It is completely understandable that Zhang Yang has such an idea at this time.

Regarding the plot of Turin, the pig's head has always been sighing. Such a great team, such an invincible division, is gone. It's really sad.

Ask for a few red tickets.
