Chapter 92 Emerald Body Glass Heart
After the intermission, Ancelotti took the lead in making adjustments, replacing Seedorf with Gilardino, and AC Milan switched to double strikers.
The performance of the team in the first half seemed to give Ancelotti confidence. Since AC Milan has no fewer opportunities than Fiorentina, why not strengthen the offensive and try to score the first goal to break the balance on the field?
In fact, it's no wonder that this dangerous idea suddenly popped into Ancelotti's head. In the past two seasons, every time he played against Fiorentina, he never got cheap. Not only did he lose the game, but he was blamed by the boss. What he couldn't accept was that he had to be humiliated by Digan.
Now that he finally saw a chance for revenge, Ancelotti buzzed over like a fly that smelled shit.
"AC Milan took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Gilardino replaced Seedorf on the field. Recently, Gilardino's life in Milan was not easy. Pato's sudden rise made him play in Ancelotti's tactical system. , It seems that there is no position. During this time, there have been news that Gilardino will move to Fiorentina next season. This face-to-face contest may be the best opportunity for Gilardino to perform. To win Ancelotti's favor, but also to show it well in front of potential buyers!"
"Ancelotti made a substitution. What is surprising is that this time he didn't think of defending, but strengthening offense. Could it be that Ancelotti's wife gave him something to nourish his brain, which made him change all of a sudden? Idea!"
The commentators were spitting nonsense, and Prandelli on the sidelines couldn't help smiling after seeing Ancelotti's adjustments. Obviously, what Ancelotti ate was definitely not something to nourish the brain, but Brain fragments.
The most important reason why AC Milan was able to compete against Fiorentina in the first half was their double midfielder configuration. Both Kaka and Seedorf were able to break through with the ball, pass the ball, and complete their own shots. player of.
It can be said that the partnership of the two formed a dual-core tactical system for Milan. When Fiorentina was defending, even if Kaka was cut off, Seedorf could play freely. There will be more space for Kaka, and if both of them are controlled at the same time, the pressure on Pato in front will be less.
Ancelotti's behavior at this moment is simply self-defeating.
Since Ancelotti's belly is big and his dantian is full, it would be too unkind for Prandelli not to accept this gift.
Thinking about it, Prandelli walked to the sidelines, called Arteta over, and gave a few words of advice.
Then Arteta's position began to move forward, standing beside Montolivo, it seemed that Florence started a dual-core tactic.
Before moving to Fiorentina, Arteta played the position of central midfielder in Everton. After the transfer, although he also played well in the midfielder position, he returned to the familiar position. No need to adapt.
In the fifty-fifth minute of the game, Gilardino dribbled the ball horizontally in the penalty area and was cut off by Thiago Silva. After two or three passes, the football reached Arteta's feet.
After receiving the ball, the Spaniard first observed it, and then sent a through ball. In the first half, because he had to stand in the position of the midfielder to assist in the defense, even if he passed the ball, most of them were pick passes. Without the suddenness, now that the position is premised, without the pressure of defense, his passing skills are immediately displayed.
At the moment when Arteta passed the ball, Degan, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly started, threw away Ambrosini who was defending him, and directly entered the Milan penalty area, gently kicking the ball with his left foot. A collar, avoiding Nesta's steal, and then a stab shot on the right heel.
Karachi couldn't react in time and wanted to catch the ball, but the distance was too close for him to react at all, so he could only watch helplessly as the football passed through his chest.
Seeing that the football was about to roll into the goal, at this critical moment, Maldini rushed over from the side, with a flying tackle, barely on the goal line, and shoveled the ball out of the baseline.
Ancelotti on the sidelines also heaved a sigh of relief. Degan's shock just now scared him so much that his stomach almost exploded.
Fortunately!
Fortunately!
The first blow failed. In the next game, Fiorentina began to deliberately shrink the defensive line, allowing AC Milan to attack. The double striker tactic gave Milan a considerable advantage in Fiorentina's penalty area, but it was a pity that they won't score.
The time of the game passed by every minute and every second, and the AC Milan players who had been attacking for a long time began to become impatient, especially Pato, who carried a big responsibility on his small shoulders, which made him very eager to show his strength in the game, but the more anxious he was, the football The more you find trouble with him, the more you can't kick in.
Prandelli, who was on the sidelines, saw that the fire was almost ready, walked to the sidelines, and blew his whistle. The players in Fiorentina knew that this was the horn of attack.
Frey held Pato's weak shot in his arms again. After getting up, he threw the ball directly to attack. After Arteta got the ball, he passed the ball directly to the left front without even looking up. Montolivo followed up in time. After taking two steps horizontally, he suddenly chose to make a surprise attack in the middle, passed the ball after Brocchi, and Cavinaghi volleyed from the right and hit the defender.
It's a pity that the ball didn't bounce far. Afterwards, Degan caught the ball outside the penalty area, and then directly dribbled the ball into the right side of the penalty area. At a position 14 meters away from the goal, he volleyed wide of the near post.
Immediately after Milan took a goal kick, Kaka broke through after receiving the ball and passed the ball to Pato. After Pato got the ball, he shot directly at a small angle, which was higher than the crossbar, and waited in the middle for a response Gilardino looked very dissatisfied.
Gilardino is not as good as Seedorf. As a striker, he is also full of hunger for scoring goals. Seeing such a good opportunity, Pato missed it because of his selfishness. He didn't even think about it. Pato yelled.
"Boy! Am I a transparent person? Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"
Gilardino is not interested in being Pato's nanny, nor does he care how much Milan cares about this brat.
Pato was reprimanded by Gilardino, and his face was not depressed. He didn't speak, bowed his head and ran away.
"How? Do you think that kid can be your opponent?" Montolivo laughed.
Digan looked at Pato and sneered, "That kid is still far behind!"
Pato's talent is unquestionable, but this kid's mental quality is a bit poor. When the wind is going smoothly, he is definitely a top striker, but once he encounters setbacks, he doesn't know how to relieve the pressure at all.
The game continued, and the confrontation between the two sides continued. In the 71st minute, Kavinaji responded with a long pass from the right. At 5 meters in front of the goal, he volleyed with his left foot and was blocked by Karachi. .
Immediately afterwards, Ancelotti made another substitution adjustment, replacing Brocchi with Emerson. As a result, the Brazilian veteran posed a threat as soon as he came on the field. He passed Montolivo continuously on the right. Left-footed shot wide of the far post in front of goal.
In the 77th minute, Fiorentina once again got a good chance to counterattack. After Arteta got the ball, he rushed forward quickly and made a long pass from the midfielder. Montolivo made a direct pass without stopping the ball from his right rib. The cross-foot buckle dodged Nesta, followed by a volley with his left foot, the football went straight into the dead end, Fiorentina broke the deadlock 1:0!
The ball went in!
After the goal, Degan roared and ran to the sidelines with open arms, enjoying the cheers of the fans. This is already his twenty-sixth goal this season.
Thanks Digan! 152!
"Rod! Rhodes scored again! When Fiorentina needed a goal to break the deadlock, Rhodes scored to help Fiorentina take the lead."
"Take a good look at the Brazilian kid from AC Milan! If you want to challenge Digan, you are still a few blocks away!"
Ancelotti's face turned black the moment Digan scored a goal. The situation was obviously good, but at this moment, Digan scored a goal and the balance of the field was broken. What should AC Milan do next?
Pato's eyes also gradually froze. When Degan got the ball and scored, he was standing outside Milan's penalty area. He could see a series of Degan's movements clearly. He asked himself, if the same opportunity , if it is in front of him, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to complete it as easily as Digan.
Not only should you pay attention to the direction of the football flying, but also observe the surrounding defensive players. The moment you get the ball, even if you make an evasive action, avoiding Nesta's steal, and then even completed the shot with the opportunity, the angle Still grasped so well.
can i do it
Pato, who has always been very conceited, doubted himself for the first time!
The house leak happened to be raining all night, and AC Milan was behind in the score. Just when they needed a massive counterattack to equalize the score, suddenly there was a sudden change on the field. Pato was dribbling the ball to break through. He fell to the ground and groaned in pain while hugging his legs.
Thiago Silva, who was in charge of defending Pato, was also in a daze, completely unaware of what happened!
When the referee came over, Thiago Silva was still explaining to the referee. The referee walked up and checked Pato's situation. He saw clearly just now that the two had no physical contact at all. The sidelines waved.
Ancelotti didn't know what was going on. He just saw Pato suddenly fell to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning. Seeing that the referee suspended the game, he quickly asked the team doctor to enter the field to check the details.
"what's the situation!?"
Seeing that in front of the restricted area, a large group of Milan team doctors were surrounding Pato, all of them were frowning, as if they had encountered a problem, Montolivo asked casually.
Digan held his shoulders, and he was very disgusted by the sudden interruption of this kind of game, so in the Fiorentina team, very few players would deliberately fall to the ground to delay time, and even if they were really injured, they would not lie on the ground. Waiting for medical attention, but left the venue by himself.
Hearing Montolivo's question, Degan shrugged helplessly and said, "A body of glass, a heart of emerald!"
Pato is injured again!
This is the topic Degan heard most about Milan in his previous life.
In the previous life, when people mentioned Pato, the first thing people thought of was not his skills, but his fragile legs. Every now and then, there would be a little problem, and sometimes it would be injured again just after two or three games after returning to the game. It never seemed to stop.
Because of injuries, many people are increasingly pessimistic about Pato's future in Milan. Some fans think that there are problems with his way of playing and handling the ball. Therefore, he hates iron but not steel, and no longer has great hopes for him. The former Milan's future star soon lowered his original height due to injuries.
When Pato first came to Milan, it can be said that the scenery was infinite. The fans thought that the new "Sheva" was born from then on. Why did he fall to such a point later?
Is it really an injury problem?
Of course, injuries are the biggest factor, followed by his incompatibility with Milan's tactical system. Pato is characterized by fast speed and excellent sense of the court. His characteristics require someone behind him to pass the ball to him, but in In Milan City, although people will give him enough care at the beginning, they will not take care of him for the rest of his life. He always needs to adapt by himself, but Pato does not have such a strong heart.
Pato is a genius. It was only because of too many injuries and the inadaptability of the tactical system that he came to the field that he was later on. More importantly, because of his talent, because of his high self-esteem, and because of his pride, he and The relationship between teammates has always been bad.
Of course, there are other factors. Pato's continuous injuries are not all due to his personal reasons. At the beginning of joining Milan, Pato's amazing speed was one of his trump cards, but at that time his body was still slightly thin . So the Milan club arranged for Pato to carry out high-intensity muscle training, hoping to help him strengthen his physique and improve his explosive power, but what everyone didn't expect was that this kind of muscle strengthening process that overwhelmed the seedlings ruined Pato.
As far as Degan remembers, Pato has experienced more than ten major injuries, and spent more time recovering from injuries than participating in competitions. Constant injuries not only made Pato's physical function decline, but also seriously affected the psychology of the Brazilian striker.
Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult for people to see Pato use his own speed to get rid of the opponent. He is afraid of being injured and always avoids the opponent's players to play. This also makes it difficult for Pato to win when he is healthy. excellent performance.
In short, various reasons ultimately ruined this Brazilian genius who had been expected by countless people.
Now, it's just the beginning!
Sure enough, after being supervised by the Milan team doctor for a while, Ancelotti had no choice but to make adjustments. Gourcuff played and replaced Pato, and Milan returned to a double midfielder formation.
It's just that, without Pato's speed, Gilardino's impact is strong, but he is not good at attacking with the ball, so Fiorentina's defensive pressure is also much less.
Although at the last moment of the game, Kaka and Gourcuff played an exquisite cooperation and sent the ball into the penalty area, it was a pity that Gilardino's final shot was a bit outrageous, and Milan also missed the final equalizer Chance.
1:0!
It is not easy for Fiorentina to win this game, and it is not embarrassing for Milan to lose.
This time, Ancelotti did not get angry after losing the game like before. Now, for him, the victory or defeat of a league game is irrelevant. Milan's fantasy of the championship can be dispelled long ago.
Now, Ancelotti is obviously more concerned about Pato's injury.
Although Inzaghi has started training with the team, it is hard to say when he will be able to play for the team. Ronaldo is basically scrapped. Although both Galliani and Berlusconi have told reporters that AC Milan will not give up foreign Starman, but those words can only be used to deceive ghosts. If Pato is injured again, Ancelotti will only have Gilardino left in his hands for the time being. How to deal with the next one? The league, the Champions League, Ancelotti think about it, they are all about to collapse.
"Today was a good game, we both got a lot of chances, but obviously luck was not on our side today, the game lost, the result may be difficult to accept, but football is like this, no one can Predicting the result, what I am most concerned about now is Pato's injury, he is a very important member of Milan, we all hope that he is well!"
Now Ancelotti can only pray, but in the past few years, the three Champions League trophies seem to have consumed God's favor for him.
The next day, AC Milan's official website announced the latest news that the team's talented teenager Pato will be sidelined for one and a half months due to a strained thigh muscle.
Once the news was released, the entire city of Milan collapsed.
No one does not know the importance of Pato to Milan today. Just look at the distribution of goals in the last few games. Pato scored five alone, Gilardino and Pirlo each scored one, and Ronaldo scored two.
Of the nine goals, Pato alone contributed more than half of them. Now the fans have been looking forward to it for half a year, and it is indeed such a result.
Finally someone couldn't help it: "I don't understand what the team has done in the transfer market in recent years, look at the current Fiorentina, look at his Digan, the original goals and the number one in the standings The position should be ours, but it was ruined by those two idiots Galliani and Ancelotti!"
Whenever Milan's striker encounters problems, people will habitually think of Digan, which is almost becoming a routine.
This time Galliani and Ancelotti did not refute, but a line of words appeared on Milan's official website: Please pay attention now!
Now? Of course it refers to Pato!
It's just that no one knows how long this is worthy of people's attention!
