Chapter 78: Good start, but

On the day of the match against Ascoli, the weather in Milan was very cold, and the turf at San Siro was not in good condition, and it was hard to step on. San Siro's poor field conditions are well-known in European football. A giant, but there is no matching stadium. This kind of thing can only happen in Italy.

Because all the stadiums in Italy are owned by the "governments" of various cities, and each team is not allowed to have its own stadium, it can only rent it. For so many years, Inter Milan has always wanted to own its own stadium and move out of San Siro, but Several applications were not approved, and Juventus, the Alpi Stadium is pretty good, but it is too big, and there are empty "**" and "**" stands in every game, but they applied for renovation The plan has been approved, but other teams are looking for ways to expand and expand the capacity of the stands, but Juventus wants to shrink them.

Before this game, AC Milan maintained a complete victory in nine home games this season. The last home win dates back to the 3:3 draw with Chievo on May 20 last year.

The team is full of injuries. In this game, Ancelotti once again resorted to the rotation method, rowing out Ambrosini, Inzaghi, Rui Costa, Simic and other substitute players. Jankulo Fowski was also in this game, making his debut on behalf of AC Milan for the first time.

In the first round of this season, Ascoli almost defeated AC Milan at home, but at the last moment of the game, Digan came off the bench and scored a hat-trick in just a few minutes, which not only helped the team overtake the score , It even broke Basten's record for the fastest hat-trick in Serie A. ??

ac milan's formation is still 4-3-1-2: goalkeeper dida, defensive line from right to left simic, stam, nesta, jankulovski, midfielder ambrosini , Pirlo, Seedorf stand in parallel, Rui Costa suddenly forward, Gilardino partner Inzaghi on the forward line.

Ascoli formed a 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper Coppola, defense line Comotto, Domizzi, Adani, Tosto, midfielder Carriello, Pesso, Parola, Del Grosso , Quagliarella partnered with Bielanovic on the forward line. Milan teenager Foggia, who performed very well before, sat on the bench in this game.

After returning from injury, Degan sat on the bench for the first time, beside him were Kaka and Fiore. Just three minutes after the start of the game, AC Milan got a chance to score. Simic, who had returned to the starting lineup, made an assist. Rui Costa judged that after Simic got the ball, he made a cross from the right, and Adani made a clearance. , Inzaghi volleyed with his right foot near the penalty spot, and the football hit the upper edge of the crossbar and popped out of the baseline.

Ascoli is also unwilling to catch it without a fight. Their performance this season is very good, and they even ranked in the top three of the standings at one point, but as the league progressed, they were also beaten back to their original shape.

Just one minute later, Quagliarella dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and wanted to break through. Stam took the first kick and intercepted the ball. He directly kicked the ball and launched an attack. Ascoli's defense line was pressed forward. , At this time, I want to take it back, but it is already impossible. Inzaghi took the ball near the left center line, rode through the barrier alone when no one responded, dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area, and dunked his right foot to chase the seal Adani, who was blocked, shoveled with his left foot eight meters in front of the goal. The ball went into the near corner from the side of goalkeeper Coppola, and AC Milan led 1:0!

After scoring the goal, Inzaghi also showed his sexy side again, opened his arms, and rushed all the way to the bench.

Degan also rushed out of the bench the moment Inzaghi scored the goal. The two are good friends. He was only absent for three months due to injury. The hunger for the game is just It almost drove him crazy, while Inzaghi has been sick since last season, and he has scored three goals just after returning from injury.

Degan is also a striker. He naturally knows the desire of forward players to score goals. As soon as he arrived on the sidelines, Inzaghi had already rushed over and jumped directly on Degan.

"Inzaghi's goal, oh! The first one he found was not Simic who sent him an assist, but Deegan on the bench. There were rumors that the relationship between Inzaghi and Deegan was very tense. See Look at them now, a hug that breaks all the rumors."

"Rods! Don't forget our original agreement!" Inzaghi shouted excitedly in Digan's ear.

Of course Degan remembered that when he was still recuperating in Brussels, he saw on TV that Inzaghi had written this sentence on his shirt when he scored his first goal after his comeback.

After taking the lead in terms of score, AC Milan continued to launch a crazy attack. In the seventh minute, Pirlo broke into the penalty area and was assigned to the left. Seedorf's shot was blocked by Coppola to the bottom line.

In the ninth minute, Rui Costa made a clever pass to Inzaghi, but Coppola attacked and got the ball first, and Inzaghi was a little slower by half a beat.

In the twelfth minute, Pirlo took a free kick 30 meters in front of the goal and Coppola took a thrilling free kick out of the crossbar.

In the 14th minute, Rui Costa took a corner kick from the right and Inzaghi headed the ball forward, but Simic failed to control the ball and was destroyed by Ascoli's defenders ahead of time.

In the 17th minute, Simic made a pass from the right. Inzaghi turned around at the front of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot to shoot the goal, but he missed the right position and the ball went out of the baseline.

Inzaghi then signaled to the referee that the opponent's defender was suspected of pulling people, but the referee ignored it. Inzaghi seemed very disappointed. He had been sidelined for almost half a year due to injury. cherish.

In the twenty-sixth minute, Pirlo volleyed vigorously with his right foot from outside the penalty area and swept across the crossbar.

In the thirty-seventh minute, Pirlo cut into the penalty area from the left and tricked Comotto with two consecutive fake moves, but his pass was blocked from the bottom line. Rui Costa took a corner kick and Gilardino's header was slightly deflected. out. ?? Stadium Maniac 78

When the game was about to end in the first half, AC Milan completely controlled the rhythm of the field, and Ascoli seemed helpless.

Ancelotti was obviously also very satisfied with the performance of the players, standing on the sidelines with his shoulders raised, his face calm and calm.

Degan sat on the bench as always, and was occasionally taken out by Tassotti to warm up. Now that the team is leading, he knows that if the game continues to develop like this, it will be difficult for him to play.

If it was before, I'm afraid he would have been anxious, but now, Degan won't, he learned how to adjust his mentality from Fiore.

Opportunities will always come, all he needs is to wait.

In the 40th minute of the game, the situation on the field changed suddenly. After a tackle, Ambrosini did not stand up immediately, but lay on the ground, clutching his left leg in pain, The referee immediately stopped the game.

Ancelotti's heart sank when he saw this. Milan's team doctor came in, but what he brought back was not good news. Ambrosini's left leg muscle was strained, and he might have a truce for a month.

Ancelotti beckoned to Gattuso with a gloomy expression, gave him a few words, and sent Gattuso on the field.

With the support of the team doctor, Ambrosini walked into the player tunnel and went off the field with a sad expression. Degan watched and sighed in his heart. He saw the game very clearly. Ambrosini Although there are not many highlights, he is one of AC Milan's best players in this game. With his 40-minute performance, the media rating after the game will not be low.

In Milan's midfield, the focus of people's attention is always Kaka who staged a dashing attack, the brave and tenacious Gattuso, the elegant Pirlo, and the artist Seedorf, but Ambrosini rarely People pay attention, but in fact, Ambrosini is the most indispensable one on the AC Milan field. As long as he is on the field, AC Milan's defense will appear very solid.

Although Gattuso had a lot of steals, it was at the expense of more steals and breakthroughs. Ambrosini completed three steals within 40 minutes, but each time was critical. He rarely gave the opponent room to break through.

In the 16th minute, Ascoli dribbled the ball to attack from the center. Ambrosini made up for it but did not make a move. This gave his teammates time to return to defense. Seeing that there was no chance to move forward, Ascoli chose to go horizontally Flips and ends up dropping the ball in a pass.

In the 22nd minute, the opponent's reverse foot created a vacuum in the middle of AC Milan. Parola shot with his foot, but Ambrosini rushed up suddenly and blocked the long shot.

In the 31st minute, the opponent counterattacked and dribbled the ball from the middle. Ambrosini caught up with a sliding tackle from behind, hooked the ball from the opponent's waist with his right foot, and made a beautiful tackle.

In the 32nd minute, after Ambrosini made a steal in the frontcourt, he went straight to the left side and tore apart the opponent's defense. Inzaghi "inserted" a cross, and Gilardino's outflanking in front of the goal was half a step slower.

In fact, since his comeback, Ancelotti has been slowly letting Ambrosini find his state and the rhythm of the game. The signal given by Ambrosini is positive, and he is finally close to the state before the injury. The time to compete for the main position was approaching, and Ambrosini fell again.

In fact, although Ambrosini was disappointed, he seemed to have gotten used to this cycle. In the 2003/04 season, Ambrosini had squeezed Seedorf to the bench for a while, but at the end of January, he himself The injury returned the main position to Seedorf, and the Dutch also seized the opportunity and scored a beautiful goal in the 3:2 reversal of the Milan derby. Ambrosini had no chance again.

At the beginning of this season, Ambrosini let Gattuso sit on the bench for a while, and Gattuso even raised the possibility of transfer in an interview, but Ambrosini's injury once again allowed Gattuso to win. Time passed, and then, Gattuso played better and better. He is currently the AC Milan midfielder with the highest score in the "Gazzetta dello Sport", followed by Ambrosini.

Probably because of the lone star of the evil spirit, Ambrosini's career seems to be destined to be accompanied by patience. In AC Milan, he endured the position of a substitute, but every time he came to the top, he had to endure injuries, because his Patience, AC Milan also paid the price. In the two tragedies against Deportivo and Liverpool in the European Champions Cup, I am afraid Ancelotti missed Ambrosini the most. Perhaps the long-term patience made him more competitive. The tough fighter spirit of anyone.

In terms of strength, Ambrosini is by no means inferior to any star in the "star lineup". In the absence of Maldini and Costacurta, all players are willing to hand over the captain's armband to him. A kind of recognition, but Ambrosini's positioning is a substitute. Recently, "Corriere dello Sport" reported that AC Milan may loan Ambrosini to Atletico Madrid. This is of course a fake news, but it is It also proves that in the eyes of the media, Ambrosini is indeed not a member of the main body of this team. All of this is determined not only by strength, but also luck, and life.

Degan looked at Ambrosini and felt sorry for him. In terms of strength alone, Ambrosini and Gattuso are comparable. When it comes to the role of Ambrosini on the court, Ambrosini is now The role of AC Milan's lineup system even exceeds that of Gattuso.

Although Ambrosini did not have a good relationship with Degan because of Vieri, this did not prevent Degan from admiring this Milan loyalist. ?? Stadium Maniac 78

Ambrosini was injured, and just a minute later, Ascoli's coach also made substitution adjustments, replacing Carrero, who performed extremely poorly, with Foggia.

Foggia was also born in Milan's youth training camp, but like his teammates in the youth team, Foggia couldn't get a chance to play in Milan. In the end, he had no choice but to leave and was kept on loan. This season is coming After Ascoli, his performance is very eye-catching. So far, he has scored three goals and has five assists.

Some media have said before that if Foggia's performance continues like this, he is likely to return to Milanello, but Digan is very clear that Foggia will not get this opportunity at all, because in his position On the other hand, there is Serginho, who Ancelotti admires more, and Jankulovski can also play the left winger position.

After Foggia came on the field, Milan suffered a heavy blow very quickly. Ascoli passed the ball in the middle, and Gattuso rushed to tackle the ball, but failed to touch the football. After Foggia got the ball from the side, he ran all the way to the In the frontcourt, he dunked the ball lightly, swaying away Simic who was jumping up, and then cut in, before Stam blocked it, with a curved kick, directly hoisting the far point of Milan's goal.

Although Dida made a saving move, it was a pity that he was still a little slow, and could only look up and watch the football go into a dead corner.

At the end of the first half, Ascoli evened the score on the court.

Ancelotti was taken aback, and then walked into the player's tunnel with a gloomy expression. It was obvious that Fatty An was furious.
