Sixty-third

Sixty-third dilemma

After signing the economic peace agreement with Mendes, Mendes soon brought a surprise to Digan. Although the endorsement contract of the world-renowned Armani is not as powerful as the previous two contracts that came to him, it is for a period of time. Ten million euros in three years still made Degan's pocket a lot.

With money in his pocket, Digan thought it was time to buy a house. Renting is not a problem, but this matter still needs to be slowed down. After all, his future has not yet been determined, and everything has to be A decision can only be made after the end of the season.

However, Mendes has already given his opinion from the agent's point of view, staying in Atlanta is not a good choice, and returning to AC Milan is the same.

Originally Degan thought that Mendes would persuade him to join Milan. After all, AC Milan is a wealthy team, and being able to play for a wealthy team is the recognition of a player.

"No! Rhodes! I don't think now is the best time to return to Milan. If you want to become a main player, there is no place for you in Milan's striker. Shevchenko is Ancelotti's number one. One choice, and between you and Inzaghi, Ancelotti obviously prefers Inzaghi!"

Digan also knew it would be like this, Ancelotti likes veterans, just like his tactical style, as stable as ever, as long as Shevchenko and Inzaghi are not injured, they will definitely be the first choice for Milan's striker , and Digan's tactical characteristics overlap with many players in the Milan lineup.

But it's still too early to say these things. Everything will be decided after the end of the season. After all, Atlanta's current situation is very good. Maybe it's not bad to stay here and create an era that belongs to Degan here, just like Marado Naples did the same.

Atalanta will continue to play at home against Palermo in the next weekend. Palermo is in a very good condition this season. Although it is also a newly promoted team, it relies on a group of strong players in the team. When the season is about to pass halfway, they are still in the In the fifth position in the league standings, it is very hopeful to enter the Champions League next season.

If some young people in the Atlanta team are very popular, then those powerful players in the Palermo team are also envious.

Especially their defense line is almost against the sky. Zaccardo, Grosso, and Barzagli have all attracted the attention of the national team coach Lippi. , On the contrary, it seems to be full of grass roots.

In this game, Mandolini still sent the strongest lineup, Degan and Pacini partnered to contribute, Montolivo organized the attack behind the two, Albertini, Lazzari and Zenoni formed a midfielder group, Bellini, Sala, Natali, Rivalta are in defense and Taibi is in goal.

Palermo's starlight is not bad at all. Goalkeeper Guadalben, right back Zaccardo, center backs Balzari and Biava, and left back is the great Italian left back who made Huang Jianxiang almost suffer from diabetes. Rosso, the Italian veterans Corini and Barone in the double defensive midfielders, the Argentine fast horse Santana and Gonzalez on both sides of the branch, Zauli rushed forward to organize the attack, and the high center Tony served as the single arrow.

The game had just started. In the second minute, Atlanta launched a wave of offensive. After handing over some off-court matters to Mendes, Digan, who was light-packed, received a pass from Montolivo 20 meters in front of the goal. , Turning around and volleying vigorously with his left foot, Gwadar jumped up and saved the ball out of the right post.

"Degan shot! What a pity! Gwadarben reacted in time and saved the ball, but Degan looked as good as ever in this game. His shot almost opened the scoring for Atlanta."

Although Atlanta took the lead and almost scored a goal, Palermo is not to be outdone. Their current results are very promising to enter the UEFA Champions League next season. Even in the face of the recently hot Atlanta, they cannot be reconciled fail.

The soul player in Palermo is Corini. Although his career has not gone smoothly, the Italian veteran suddenly rejuvenated after he moved to Chievo. Now he is still in the same state after moving to Palermo .

He played the pass very penetratingly, and sorted out the midfield very well. The entire Palermo team seemed to be in his hands, and he commanded it with ease.

Atlanta launched consecutive attacks, but it was a pity that Palermo succeeded in offsides several times, which made Atlanta's offense return in vain.

In the eighth minute of the game, Degan almost scored a goal again. Guadalben missed Albertini's long-range shot.

After Degan scored a goal, he was ready to celebrate, but he saw the linesman holding the apricot flag high, and the referee also whistled to indicate that the goal was invalid, Palermo's goal kick.

Offside?

Degan ran to the line referee in disbelief and questioned loudly. He had been observing the positions of Palermo's defenders just now. When Albertini kicked, what was the distance between him and Biala? , there are at least two positions, how could it be offside.

"Mr. Referee, although I respect your penalty, I was not offside at all just now. You killed one of my goals!"

The line referee was also very insistent on his own judgment, and waved his hand to signal Digan to leave as soon as possible: "I can see clearly that you are indeed offside, don't make trouble!"

Depend on!

How reasonable are you to kill and set fire!

When Digan heard this, his anger became even more angry: "Since you insist on your judgment, then if you dare to go back and watch the replay, you will feel ashamed for your wrong decision!"

Seeing that Degan was looking for trouble with the linesman, the referee also ran over quickly. He didn't know what was wrong, and first gave Degan a yellow card. Give a punch.

"Calm down! Rhodes!"

Fortunately, Pacini ran over in time and hugged Digan. If the fist swung down, it would be troublesome at that time. On the football field, referees are judges in black, and everything they say makes sense , The players can only listen and can't do anything, otherwise they will interfere with the referee's law enforcement and challenge the authority.

This is all nonsense.

Albertini also came over at this time, and stood in front of Digan to negotiate with the referee. Although he was not the captain, his status in Atlanta was not low at all.

The referee was about to draw a yellow card when he saw that Degan was going to make a move, but he held back when he saw Albertini coming over. Albertini is the representative of the Italian Players Union, and his identity is there.

"Mr. Referee! He was just a little excited, young man, I think it can be forgiven, and you have already given him a yellow card!"

The referee didn't want to make matters worse, after all, this is Atlanta's home court, and Atlanta is not a small tender fish that everyone kneads.

"Demi! Take care of your people, I don't want another time!"

Albertini nodded, turned around and pulled Digan away, and whispered: "Rod! You must control your temper, otherwise the team will suffer. I don't think you want us to All your hard work this season will be in vain because of your momentary emotional agitation!"

Although Digan was annoyed, he had to admit that Albertini was right. There was really no hope of winning if he competed with the referee. , At that time, the punishment of the Italian Football Association will not be light.

"The gaffe seems to have subsided. To be honest, I wanted to punch that bastard referee just now. He killed one of our good shots!"

The on-site commentator was also loudly attacking the line referee, and the fans were even more unceremonious, booing wildly. Those Atlanta fans who were right behind the line referee even greeted the eighteen generations of his ancestors, and even Had some intimate exchanges with the women of his family.

The game continued to score goals, Guadalben took the goal kick, Palermo's fast attack quickly shifted to the right, Gonzalez took the ball inside and seemed to be no threat, but he suddenly left footed hard at the front of the right corner of the penalty area With a low shot, Taibi was caught off guard and the ball leaked into the near corner. Palermo took the lead 1:0.

Seeing the ball scored, Gonzalez also seemed very excited. After running for tens of meters, he slipped his knee and drew curses from the fans.

Taibi was also sitting on the ground, very depressed. The ball just now was entirely his responsibility. He never thought that Gonzalez would suddenly kick and shoot, but was attacked by his opponent.

The referee had just blown off a good goal by Atlanta, and Palermo took the lead after turning around. This kind of thing is too demoralizing for anyone.

After conceding the ball, Atlanta also strengthened its attack. In the 21st minute, Atlanta played the most threatening offensive since the opening. Seven meters in front of the goal, he shot angrily, and the football went slightly wide of the near post.

Atalanta's attack only bloomed but failed to bear fruit. As a result, in the 31st minute, after being hit, the Argentine fast horse Santana sent a straight ball from the left rib. Tony used his physical advantage to shake off Natalie who was defending him, and shoveled with his left foot in the penalty area. Go to the bottom right corner.

0:2!

Atalanta actually trailed their opponent by two goals at home, and the fans at the scene became quiet now. Watching the Palermo players celebrate wildly on the field, they could only be anxious.

Degan can only be anxious about everything that happened. Atlanta clearly occupies the initiative on the field, but has been unable to score for a long time. Palermo actually scored two goals with a few shots.

Especially the second goal, when Santana passed the ball, Rivalta, who was supposed to step up to defend, was at least five meters away from Santana, and Natali, who was defending Tony, also made a mistake and was forcibly overtaken by Tony .

Gained a two-goal lead, and the initiative on the field was gradually controlled by Palermo. In the 39th minute, Gonzalez made a cross from the right, and Tony flashed between the two central defenders, eight meters in front of the goal. Chu turned sideways with his left foot and volleyed into the net, but this wonderful shot was dismissed as invalid.

Tony was not offside, and the assistant referee did not raise the flag. The referee may have blown Tony for pushing Sarah. In any case, Atlanta narrowly escaped. If the first half fell behind by three goals, the game would be a real mess I can't play anymore.

Before the end of the first half, Degan had another good chance, but unfortunately his shot was blocked out of the baseline by the divinely assisted Gwadarben.

In the end, Atlanta had no choice but to walk into the locker room with a gap of two goals. It is conceivable that they will face the anger of Mandolini.

When he was leaving the field, Degan suddenly noticed that Montolivo was obviously tired when he walked. This was only half of the game!

But when he thought about Degan again, he was relieved. Montolivo played almost all of Atlanta's games this season, especially before the winter break, when the games became more intensive, and his physical strength finally had problems.

This is exactly what Degan has been worried about before. Atlanta's bench depth should be too thin. For a position like Montolivo, he doesn't even have a substitute player, so he can only stick to it.

Not only Montolivo, Albertini, Zenoni and others are like this. Atlanta's training is not very clever, and the physical reserve work before the start of the season is very unsystematic. It is lucky that the problem has not occurred until now. up.

If you still count on these people to finish the whole season, let alone fighting for the championship, whether they can keep their seats in the European competition will be a big problem.

Degan can indeed score goals, but he is not a superman, he also needs the help of his teammates on the field, but throughout the first half, Montolivo only sent him a threatening ball, which is too little.

Mandolini didn't seem too angry. He also saw the problem. It wasn't that the players didn't work hard, but that they really had no energy, especially Montolivo, one of Atlanta's offensive tridents. Dan can be rotated, but Montolivo doesn't even have a qualified substitute.

During the half-time break, Degan didn't listen to what Mandolini said. He was always thinking about the team's problems, he had to buy someone, and when the winter transfer period started, he had to buy someone.

Degan didn't want to work hard for a season, but in the end he was empty-handed. Players worked hard on the court, not only caring about money, but also honor. If Degan wants to be successful, he must have the honor he can get, otherwise , He just scored 100 goals in a season, what's the use.

Thinking, the second half of the game has already started. Digan was about to get up and go out, but he heard the phone in his locker ring. He took it out and saw that it was actually a message sent to him by Mendes. After that, Digan's eyes widened instantly.

Pereira is in the stands, play well and try to score!
