In the case of conceding a goal first, Gilardino scored twice to overtake the score. Since then, Vieri has also scored his first goal since joining AC Milan. In the standings, AC Milan and Juventus, who have won all 9 rounds, continue to maintain a 3-point gap.

After the game, Ancelotti also said excitedly: "Milan is normal now, we are on the right path now, no one can stop us from moving forward, the goals of Gilardino and Vieri came It's time!"

Perhaps Ancelotti has another meaning. Since these forwards are in good condition right now, Digan, who is still recuperating in Belgium, naturally doesn't need it.

In the tenth round of the league after that, AC Milan faced off against their rivals Juventus at the San Siro Stadium. They unexpectedly defeated their opponents 3:1, achieved a seven-game winning streak in the league, and ended the opponent's new season.

The lineup of AC Milan in this game is not complete, Nesta and Shevchenko continue to be absent, Gattuso is also rotated due to physical problems, even before the start of the game, no one is optimistic that AC Milan can beat Juventus, but Football is round and anything can happen.

In the first half, Cannavaro and Buffon, the top stars in their respective positions, presented gifts one after another. Seedorf, Kaka, and Pirlo won three consecutive cities. AC Milan scored three goals in the first half. The lead of the ball, although Juventus's offensive is very fierce, but in the end it was only a consolation goal scored by Trezeguet.

After defeating Juventus, Ancelotti said arrogantly in an interview with reporters after the game: "The season has just started now, and we will continue the victory until the end of the season!"

In the next eleventh round of the league, AC Milan did indeed continue their victory as Ancelotti said, beating Udinese 5-1, achieving eight consecutive victories in the league and still occupying the top spot in the league s position.

Gilardino scored twice in the game, breaking the home goal shortage since the transfer. This season's league goals increased to 6, surpassing Andriy Shevchenko to rank second in AC Milan. Seedorf, Pirlo and Kaka each went down, and Inzaghi came off the bench and contributed two assists.

Gilardino is in good condition, and Ancelotti is the happiest. As long as the forward players in his hands can maintain a stable scoring efficiency, even if Digan comes, he can have an excuse not to use it. .

But there is a word in this world called extreme joy begets sorrow, and Ancelotti is like this.

In the twelfth round of the league, AC Milan challenged Fiorentina as a guest at the Frankie Stadium. In the first half, Fiorentina's head striker Toni opened the scoring, and then Gilardino tied with a header. AC Milan immediately took the initiative on the field, but in the second half In the beginning, Fiorentina made a quick counterattack, and Jorgensen shot from a distance to overtake the score. Afterwards, the old Milan player Brocchi handballed in the penalty area, but escaped the penalty, and Gilardino's header was scored again. The verdict was invalid. Before the end of the game, Tony scored twice since then, reaching 15 goals this season, second only to Digan's 21 goals in the scorer list, ranking second.

"Our luck in this game is not very good, but we must also see the positive side. Gilardino scored again. His recent form is very good. I believe he will continue, and he will give up Vchenko will be back in the next round of the league, and then we will get back on the right track!"

In a key game that followed, Juventus beat Fiorentina away and will extend their lead to 5 points.

After the end of this round of Serie A, Degan also completed the first stage of treatment and returned to Italy. Next, he will continue to receive recovery treatment in Milanello. As for when he can pay, not only It's his injury, and Ancelotti is the one who decides.

In the fifteenth round of the league, AC Milan and Inter Milan staged a Milan derby. After Degan was injured, he also appeared in the stands for the first time.

In the fifty-ninth minute of the game, Adriano forced a breakthrough and fell to the ground. He personally took a free kick over the wall and went straight to the lower right corner.

It seems that it was specifically to verify Ancelotti's words, and then AC Milan ushered in a wave of three consecutive victories, first in the sixteenth round of the league.

In the second half, Shevchenko scored another goal, Parma scored twice from Marchionne, and AC Milan scored three points like walking on thin ice.

Inzaghi, I know him very well, and he is also familiar with his current position in Milan, and he has a good understanding of this benign situation. ' competition, he also welcomes it very much."

Gilardino's state is indeed very good. In the last three rounds, he has scored four goals. Although he is not as good as Digan in terms of the number of goals, the victory lies in the continuity. Now there is no one After comparing him with Vieri, some media even said: With Gilardino, Milan no longer needs Digan!

Does Milan not need Digan anymore?

At least in the eyes of Ancelotti, this is indeed the case. After being absent for three months due to injury, Degan has started to train with the whole team and has shown a good state during the training. It is a pity that Ancelo Dee selectively ignored it.

Even after the victory over Parma, Ancelotti said on the phone with Galliani: He will not stop changing the main lineup at present, and Degan has become dispensable under his hands , If possible, he even hopes to loan out Degan to maintain his state.

And Galliani rarely spoke this time.

However, Digan still failed to leave in the end. On the contrary, another person on the front line left. With Shevchenko's position unshakable, Gilardino began to explode, and Inzaghi also started to score goals, he could not play. Given the opportunity, Vieri could only choose to leave sadly.
