Chapter 16 Chaotic AC Milan

Chapter 16 Chaotic AC Milan

In the last round of the league, AC Milan lost 0:2 to Reggina in the away game.

After the game, Ancelotti looked a little dazed: "We are very tired, very very tired. We didn't have much motivation in this game, and we were a little tired. We tried our best in today's game. We tried to control the game in the first half, but we lost in the second half. We lost the rhythm because we didn't have enough energy to deal with Reggina who was fighting to avoid relegation, their game dynamics were different from ours, and Mazzarri's team was more eager to win than us."

Although, like Fiorentina, the penalty was reduced, AC Milan is still in a bad situation. After the fifteenth round of the league, they won seven wins, four draws and four losses. For a giant team like AC Milan, it ended 2006 with such results. , was a total failure.

And this failure, in fact, has been buried since the summer. After losing the two forwards Digan and Shevchenko in a row, Galliani has been busy looking for a new one for AC Milan all summer. gun.

What the result is, everyone has seen it.

Brazilian Ricardo Oliveira made his debut on the first day of junior high school and really surprised many people. He scored a goal and made a dazzling dribble. Although he only stayed on the court for 30 minutes, AC Milan is the best player Oliveira, who was introduced in a big way, still delivered a satisfactory answer.

The 25-year-old Brazilian striker Ricardo Oliveira previously played for Real Betis. He was once the top scorer in the South American Libertadores Cup. In the 2004/2005 season, Oliveira scored 22 goals in La Liga, ranking third in the scorer list.

However, last season Oliveira only played 9 times due to serious injuries and only scored 4 goals. After letting go of Shevchenko and Digan, AC Milan was eager to "find a gun", so they exchanged the Brazilian striker for 15 million euros plus Swiss midfielder Vogel.

The real ability of Oliveira, who took over Sheva's No. 7 mantle, once made the Italians question, but he gave the answer with his excellent performance in the first game.

His goal shows his keen judgment on the ball and the killer's sense of grabbing points. Under the interference of the opponent's defender, Oliveira can still push the ball into the opponent's goal smartly. The flexibility of the body can be seen .

After the goal, Oliveira showed people his unpredictable foot skills. One of the most impressive scenes is that he was in the penalty area? The left side of the penalty area continuously swayed past two Lazio players to form a single knife. Peruzzi was too brave, and this ball will definitely be the best goal of this round. At that time, Oliveira's value for money made everyone happy, and his eye-catching performance also put Gilardino's main position in jeopardy.

After that game, AC Milan's official website praised Oliveira. The website wrote: "The arrival of Oliveira made people forget about Shevchenko and Digan. After this game, all AC Milan Fans remember him. He activated the San Siro on the field. There is no doubt that he was the best player in the game. All the fans were intoxicated by his best performance. He scored in the first game A good start to his long season."

AC Milan, which has Oliveira, seems to no longer have to worry about the team's offensive power. The Rossoneri is still a king's division.

But, here's a but!

Recently, "Gazzetta dello Sport" published an article called "2006 Failed Transfer Cases", which listed the ten most disappointing transactions this summer.

Ranked tenth is Torino who introduced Fiore with 2 million euros. The newly promoted team needs an experienced veteran, so Torino chose Fiore. But compared to Doni's achievements in Atlanta, Fiore can be said to be a burden to Turin. This gave Rossina room to play. Scoring 1 goal in 15 rounds, Fiore is doing nothing, without the demeanor of the former international footballer.

Ranked ninth is Palermo who spent 6 million euros to introduce Diana. 6 million euros is not a small amount for an Italian mid-range club. For the sake of fringe international players, Diana deserves it. at this price. Diana, who scored two goals for Inter Milan last season, came to Palermo but was not satisfied. He only scored one goal in 15 league games. He could not get a fixed position under Guidolin. Adapting to the position, coupled with intermittent minor injuries, his vigor was exhausted, and Diana, who is quite characteristic in offense, can only be an inconspicuous engineer in Palermo.

The eighth place is somewhat surprising. Inter Milan spent 5.5 million euros plus De La Fiore to introduce Grosso. Inter Milan had already signed Grosso before the start of the World Cup. There were not many waves at that time. A month later, everyone envied Inter Milan for grabbing the most amazing left-back in the world at such a low price. After half a season now, Grosso's performance cannot be regarded as a failure, but it is far from the "magic" people expected. As his professional resume shows, Grosso is only suitable for mid-range players such as Perugia and Palermo. The ordinary players of the team can only just gain a firm foothold in the giants, and the magic of a flash in the pan cannot last through the entire season. Inter Milan still has not solved the loophole in the left-back position.

Ranked seventh is Roma's introduction of Degan's teammate Cassetti at a cost of 5 million euros. Cassetti's transfer fee is second only to Pizarro's 6.5 million euros. But far less than Pizarro. Spalletti originally intended to use Cassetti to replace the aging Panucci, but Cassetti obviously couldn't reach Panucci's realm. Cassetti played two-thirds of Panucci's, and his assist ability did not reach his level in Lecce. He tried to find opportunities on the left, but the effect was not satisfactory, but his amazing performance in Atlanta , It still makes people look forward to Cassetti.

Ranked sixth is also the arm of Roma, on loan to Tavano. If you choose the most frustrated player in the European transfer market in the 2006/07 season, you must not forget Tavano. He can be counted as the "double material" of La Liga and Serie A. Parallel imports". It is understandable to sit on the bench in Valencia. After all, Spain is not a paradise for Italian players. After joining Roma on loan, Tavano also failed to prove his strength. He only scored 2 goals in 14 league rounds. He pursued offense in Spalletti In his tactics, such data can only be described as dismal.

The fifth place is that Torino spent a huge sum of 4.8 million euros to introduce Barone. Under the halo of the World Cup champion, Barone created the most expensive transfer in Turin this season. But to be honest, Barone is one of the most mediocre players in the World Cup squad, with no strengths other than hard running. Turin has no shortage of engineers in the traditional sense. Although Barone works hard, he cannot bring qualitative improvement to the team. It is not worth spending 4.8 million euros for an ordinary defensive midfielder.

Ranked fourth is that Lazio bought half of Makinwa's ownership for 3 million. The Nigerian striker performed well in Palermo last season and is considered to have the potential to grow into an excellent striker like Martins. However, his technical ability is still not up to the requirements of Lazio coach Mandolini, and it is difficult to shake the main position of Rocchi and Pandev. Although he scored a goal for AC Milan in the first round of the league, Majinwa was positioned as a substitute throughout the season. Playing time is less than 20 minutes. Mandolini hoped that Majinwa could play the role of Degan's offensive fulcrum in Atlanta, but he could only be blind.

In the third place is Sampdoria's introduction of Telic with Pisano plus cash. At the beginning of last season, Telic made a splash with consecutive goals. It is vaguely seen that Materazzi was in Perugia. shadow. However, Telic's fate is similar to that of his senior brother Lerotalie. He also became famous under Del Neri, but after the transfer, it was proved that the name was not worthy of the name. Before the start of the league, Telic was even included in Donadoni's first national team training list and played in a friendly match against Croatia, but Sampdoria quickly recognized his true level and won four starts. After one yellow and one red, Telic was completely sidelined. On the contrary, Pisano, who was exchanged, performed well in Palermo.

The second place belongs to Fiorentina's free introduction of Liverani. Liverani's organizational ability has a good reputation in Serie A. In order to fill the vacancy of Brocchi's transfer, Prandelli called up this veteran Under his command, and entrusted with the important task of absolute main force, Liverani's performance can be regarded as quite satisfactory, but compared with people's expectations, it is obviously far behind, at least not comparable to the annual salary paid by Florence.

The next big thing is coming, to ask who is the most disappointing transfer transaction in the summer of 2006, Comrade Oliveira, grand debut.

The former La Liga striker and Brazil's current national team wears the No. 7 jersey left by Shevchenko. From any angle, Oliveira is one of the most anticipated players in Serie A this season. His debut is also glorious Incomparable, not only the header broke the Lazio goal, but also several good dribbling performances. But I don't know what curse, Oliveira's performance took a turn for the worse after that, and occasionally a few decent shots came into close contact with the door frame. Ancelotti's patience with him gradually lost, and Oliveira is currently in a state of being abandoned. There is no doubt that the Brazilian is the biggest parallel importer in Serie A this season.

Let a soldier of the Red Ribbon Legion replace the Super Saiyan, AC Milan really thinks too much!

The defense is unstable and the striker is weak. AC Milan's current performance is simply a mess. Of course, the fans have reasons to be dissatisfied with the current results.

The sale of Shevchenko and Digan in the summer allowed AC Milan to reap a lot of money, but their investment in the transfer market was pitiful.

Daniel Bonera is considered a good deal. At least Bonera, who became famous at a young age, was once touted by the media as the new Nesta, but after he transferred from Brescia to Parma, he did not show Nesta's performance. Strength, now at AC Milan, it is also difficult to be a big player. The eternal teenager is not too young, but people's expectations of him can only be placed in the future, but fortunately he is a panacea, it is really not good, the back line can be anywhere Top one.

Ferdinando Coppola, Coppola was born in Naples. Before coming to Milan, he either played in the second division team or played as a substitute in the first division team. No one knows why AC Milan introduced him , Although the current goalkeepers are not very reliable, it is obvious that Coppola is even more unreliable. Probably the only saving grace is that he came on a free transfer.

Giuseppe Favalli, the veteran Favalli played for Inter Milan, was the captain of Lazio, and played nearly 500 games for Lazio. It should be said that he was a reliable defender. This summer he transferred to Milan freely, but the aging Favalli is obviously not suitable to be a left back anymore. His running ability has declined too much, and it has almost become a loophole in the team. He was placed in the central defender position to fill the vacancy caused by extensive injuries.

Leonardo Grimi is another soy saucer. The player who first proposed Grimi to the club was Maldini, the chief scout of AC Milan. Can's youth training camp, and later the autumn league, the old Maldini has been optimistic about this young man. The Argentine media commented that Grimi's basic quality is very good. His physical condition is excellent. He is 182cm tall.

Braida even went to Argentina to inspect him in person, and quickly finalized the player with a transfer fee of 2 million euros. Although Milan's defense is aging seriously, it may be that the strength is not enough, and perhaps Ancelotti trusts the veteran too much. Players played only three times in half a year.

Jonan Gourcuff, although known as Zidane's successor, Gurcuff is more like a traditional midfielder, Zidane's running range is larger, Gurcuff is limited to the midfield The area is a bit like Riquelme. And when he was in AC Milan, Ancelotti rejected Gourcuff's plan to replace Kaka. He believed that Gurcuff did not have Kaka's running and dribbling speed. Gourcuff's playing time in Milan was limited and he was labeled as a parallel importer.

Massimo Odo, this is probably AC Milan's biggest gain this summer. This player entered the AC Milan youth training camp in 1993. Since the 95/96 season, he has lived a rented life, played for Fiorenzuola, Monza, Prato, Lecco, Naples, and was finally bought out by Verona. After moving to Lazio in 2002, he became famous here, was selected for the national team, and served as the captain of the Lazio team. Milan, which lacks a right back, is eager for talents and starts with a high price of 8 million euros. In the half season since the transfer, Odo played ten league games and scored one goal, which is amazing.

But obviously, such a performance is really difficult to equate with AC Milan's status as a wealthy family. They are fishing with big nets, and their mouths are full of oil. AC Milan also nets, but the fishing nets are somewhat unqualified, and the big fish can't catch them. , the little fishes all ran away, leaving only a meal of small shrimps, expecting to be able to live like this, can only be said to be naive.

After learning from the pain, the team's poor record made Ancelotti and Galliani both confirm that the team will supplement personnel in the winter.

Berlusconi also confirmed this matter in an interview: "Winter transfer market? We will see, we are discussing this matter with Ancelotti and Galliani, AC Milan still hopes to keep the protagonist's We will do everything possible to strengthen the team, and of course don't forget that the wounded will recover one after another, we will see the opportunity to strengthen the team. But I believe that we will still get satisfactory results this season."

"Gazzetta dello Sport" is also helping AC Milan make suggestions in the transfer market. According to their ideas, one is in the position of goalkeeper, and the other is to continue to strengthen the midfield.

It also said that AC Milan is actively discussing the acquisition of Montolivo with Fiorentina.

AC Milan does have this idea. Ancelotti hopes to introduce Montolivo, mainly because there are almost no players to replace in the midfield. With Serginho absent for a long time due to injury, Jankulovski He was pressed to death at the left-back position, and the substitutes in the midfield were only Ambrosini, Brocchi, and Gourcuff, and Ambrosini was still a long-term injury.

And Montolivo is recognized as a talented midfielder in Italian football. He was once the "successor" hand-picked by Pirlo. After showing people his offensive talent in Atlanta, he arrived in Florence. He is much better in defense than in the past, and in terms of technology and creativity, he is quite similar to Pirlo. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, he is 6 years younger than Pirlo. If he joins, he will become the current "deputy Pirlo". Luo", the future "Pirlo successor".

Pirlo himself once said: "In my opinion, Montolivo is the most like me in style. I think he will have a better performance if he retreats to a late position."

But Fiorentina coach Prandelli said in an interview: "I can't think of any reason for him to leave Fiorentina."

for what?

Because Florence has Digan here!

Montolivo also said in a subsequent interview: "If AC Milan wanted to introduce me a year ago, I would be very happy. Saying this may hurt the feelings of Fiorentina fans, but I am really eager to be with Degan. Fighting side by side on the court, we had a great cooperation in Atlanta before, and now that Degan is back, I hope to continue!"

Come on!

Falling flowers are intentional and ruthless!

AC Milan's sincerity is stuck on the thousand-year-old ice.

Fortunately, they still have Kaka. Kaka's performance this season can be called amazing. After 15 rounds of the league, he scored nine goals and provided seven assists. He also scored six goals in the Champions League.

After Digan switched to Fiorentina, Kaka stuck to the position belonging to the Wright Brothers in Milan alone. It can be said that without Kaka, AC Milan is doomed to tragedy this season.

"Rod is back to health. This is the best news for me. I look forward to competing against him again. In the World Cup, I lost to him, but in the league, I hope to win back!"

The Serie A league has entered the winter break. After the winter break, AC Milan's first opponent is Fiorentina. The contest between the Wright brothers has returned to Serie A from the World Cup stage.

"During the time I was recovering from my injury, Ricciardo and I often talked on the phone and met occasionally. To be able to face my brother in the first game after coming back, for me, there is nothing more important than this. Good stage, Ricardo has done a great job at AC Milan this season, but I think I will win in the end!"

The rivalry between the Wright brothers has never been harmonious since Degan was still in Atlanta. Although people hope to see the offensive combination of the Wright brothers, they obviously hope to see the two brothers compete with real knives and guns on the field. some.

But before that, Degan still has some things to deal with first. AC Milan is now in a mess, and the league results are not good, but Degan is very clear. The focus has shifted to the Champions League.

Florence is not qualified to laugh at others now. Although discordant voices have not yet erupted in the team, it is time to clear up some hidden dangers.

On the day Degan returned to the team, he learned from Prandelli that someone had submitted a transfer application.

"Fernando seems to have despaired of life in Florence! I have persuaded him before and told him that I am still patient, but he doesn't seem to listen at all!"

Digan also thought of such a situation. Cavinaghi's chances in Fiorentina were not too many. After the fifteenth round, he played thirteen times and didn't score a single goal. Even the number of shots on target was only a handful. number.

Look at the two teammates who partnered with him, scoring goals frequently, especially Mutu, who came to the team with him, has become the darling of Fiorentina fans.

For a frustrated person, the first thing he thinks of is that it might be better to change the environment.

"Coach! I will go to him and have a good talk!"

Prandelli looked at Degan. In fact, he was also very surprised that Degan was so optimistic about Cavinaghi. The league has been played for nearly half of the time, but Cavinaghi seems to have no way to adapt to the style of Italian football.

If it wasn't because of Digan's injury before, and Prandelli really didn't have anyone in his hands, he wouldn't have given Cavinaghi so many opportunities.

But since Digan had already said it, he could only nod and agree: "Okay! At least as a tactical center, he is still a good choice!"

Tactical center?

Degan smiled: "No! Coach! I decided to let the team introduce him, not let him be a bloody tactical center! He is the new Batty, a Batistuta who belongs to the new Fiorentina!"

Prandelli frowned slightly. From his point of view, so far, he hadn't really discovered that Cavinaghi possessed this quality.
