Chapter 25 Lao Tzu Comes to Solve the Problem
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the gloomy weather is a bit scary, just like the mood of the Milanese now. Originally, I thought that facing the newly promoted Ascoli in the first game of the new season, I would definitely be able to support the entire season. It's a good start, but who knows, before the game reaches 60 minutes, they are already two goals behind their opponents.
Tassotti couldn't sit still at this time, got up and walked to Ancelotti's side, saying: "Carlo! Let's adjust it! Otherwise, this game will be dangerous!"
Ancelotti doesn't need to ask, but he can also think of what Tassotti said about the adjustments. In this situation, the true strength of the team cannot be reflected at all. No matter how good AC Milan's players are, in this situation It is also difficult to make a difference in the game under the weather.
Ancelotti's expression was not gloomy, and he said, "Are you trying to make me bow down to that bastard? Ask him to stand up and be the team's savior?"
Not to mention the conflict between Ancelotti and Degan, Ancelotti does not believe that Degan can really turn the tide as soon as he plays, a fledgling kid, even if his performance last season shocked the entire football world, so what In the same way, in Ancelotti's eyes, compared with Shevchenko and Inzaghi, Degan is obviously far behind.
Tassotti knew that Ancelotti would not be persuaded so easily, so he glanced at the stands and whispered, "Chairman Galliani is in the stands, what if this game~~~~~~~"
Tassotti didn't finish his sentence, but Ancelotti already understood the meaning of it. Losing the opening game of the new season under the eyes of the club chairman, especially to a team like Ascoli, was a big loss. One can imagine the blame he will receive at that time.
"Mauro! Believe in our players!"
Ancelotti finally rejected Tassotti's proposal. As Tassotti said, Galliani was in the stands at the moment, watching AC Milan being teased by a team with big belly, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot. Same.
During the intermission, he asked someone to negotiate with Ancelotti, hoping to give Digan a chance, but now that the team is two goals behind, Ancelotti has no intention of substituting. .
In the fifty-ninth minute of the game, AC Milan once again got a free kick in the frontcourt. Pirlo took the penalty, but unfortunately his shot was blocked by Coppola's sideways save from the bottom line.
AC Milan took a corner kick. Stam overwhelmed the opponent's defender and headed the ball into the net. Seeing this, Ancelotti immediately raised his arms and prepared to cheer. His excited performance was rare in the past, but Before he could call out the "Ole Ole", the referee De Santis blew his whistle, but not to indicate that the goal was valid, but to indicate that AC Milan's corner kick would be re-penalized.
Ambrosini was the first to rush to the referee and protested loudly. There was indeed no problem with Stam's header just now.
The referee also admitted this: "Yes! Stam did not foul!"
Ambrosini was taken aback, and said, "Then why the goal is invalid, there must be a reason!"
The referee flashed his whistle and said, "You took a corner kick before I even blew the whistle, so the ball must be resent!"
Ambrosini was almost stunned when he heard the words. The referee's statement was justified, but in his opinion, it was simply ridiculous: "This is simply ridiculous."
The referee's complexion changed slightly, and he said: "This is football, Massimo, let your men leave immediately and take the corner kick again, otherwise, I don't mind giving you a yellow card to calm you down!"
Although AC Milan was dissatisfied, since the referee had made a penalty, he had no choice but to let his teammates disperse.
Ancelotti on the sidelines was not so calm. He finally scored a goal, but the goal was denied because the referee didn't blow his whistle. Strange.
"It's a disgrace. You killed our goal. It's unreasonable. Do you just want us to lose?"
Ancelotti, a fat man who has always been silent, is really scary once he explodes. The fourth official who is entangled by him is not a good-tempered master. , Said: "What you said just now, I will write it into the game record!"
Ancelotti is getting angry now, he can't listen to the fourth official's warning, and is still roaring loudly: "I don't care, I don't care, write whatever you want!"
Seeing this, Tassotti hurried over and pulled Ancelotti aside: "Calm down! Carlo! Do you want the team to have no head coach?"
AC Milan has re-sent a corner kick on the field. Ascoli, who escaped unharmed, is very focused this time. Coppola strikes and picks the ball directly.
The AC Milan player, who was fooled by the whistle, launched a fierce attack recently. Finally, in the 63rd minute, Shevchenko, who missed the target several times before, finally reflected his value as a super shooter. He dribbled the ball horizontally and dunked After passing the opponent's defensive player, 25 meters in front of the goal, he shot with his right foot and went straight to the lower right corner. Coppola couldn't make a save, and AC Milan pulled back a point 1:2.
This time, Ancelotti rushed out with his arms raised high after confirming that the goal was valid. His bloated figure, at this moment, seemed extraordinarily vigorous.
Degan looked on, still expressionless, he could see very clearly that although AC Milan pulled back a goal, the initiative of the game was still in the hands of Ascoli, the AC Milan player who paid attention to the skills at his feet, wanted to It is not an easy task to equalize the score.
After the goal, AC Milan launched another onslaught, while Ascoli returned to defense across the board, making up their minds to keep the score until the midfield.
In the 65th minute, Serginho made a cross from the left, Gilardino shot from behind, but was blocked by Coppola, followed by Shevchenko's supplementary shot five meters in front of the goal. fly.
The continuous mad attack, only blooming but not fruitful, gradually made the mentality of Milan's players on the field become impatient, and some mistakes that would never occur in normal times also appeared endlessly.
On the other hand, Ascoli did not play in a hurry, and he didn't know who was the strong team and who was weak. The few opportunities to counterattack also forced AC Milan's defense to scramble. One of them was Stam. The header was passed back, and it was almost an own goal. Fortunately, Dida's reaction was fast enough, but he also made a juggling move to clear the siege.
Seeing that there were only fifteen minutes left in the game, Ancelotti couldn't do this anymore. After struggling for a while, he beckoned Tassotti to his side and said reluctantly : "Let him prepare to play, he has no time to warm up, let him go to the front of the team after playing, I give him the right to freedom, but he must score goals!"
Tassotti knew who Ancelotti was talking about. The following words should have been ordered by Ancelotti, but it was obvious that Ancelotti didn't want to have any interaction with Digan, so he had to let his assistant The coach did it for him.
Tassotti nodded and walked to the bench. Everyone's spirits became tense immediately. They all knew that Ancelotti was going to make a substitution.
"Deegan!"
When Tassotti named Degan's name, Vieri's eyes immediately changed. Obviously, in his opinion, he should be replaced now, and he is the one to solve the problem.
Digan was not surprised, he returned the coat to Gattuso who was almost in shock from the cold, adjusted his leg guards, and stood up.
Tassotti told Ancelotti's explanation, and then whispered: "Rod! This is your opportunity, take it!"
Tassotti is an old courtier of Milan, and his affection for Milan is deeper than anyone else. He can see Degan's ability, and he also knows that Degan can lead the current Milan forward. As for the previous things, he can Not one to let go.
Digan smiled and said: "Of course, I know, he let me play, isn't it to solve the problem? You can tell him that I will never let anyone down, even people I hate very much!"
Tassotti smiled helplessly, and said: "If you can~~~~~ I mean if you can, don't provoke anyone, Rhodes! You still have a long football career, don't be ruined by yourself! And~~~~~ What happened back then, I'm sorry!"
Digan was taken aback, and said with a smile: "I accept your apology, that's it! Now you can sit quietly and wait to cheer for victory!"
Digan walked to the sidelines confidently. The person he was going to replace was Gilardino. He could see clearly from the bench just now. The biggest loopholes in Ascoli's defense were two The central defender has a height, but it is a pity that his turning speed is too slow. Digan has this confidence. As long as the ball can pass, he will have 10,000 ways to get in between those two stupid big men. Then a goal is scored.
Gilardino was very disappointed when he learned that he was going to be substituted, but he really had nothing to complain about. His performance today was terrible.
The two clapped their hands together without looking at each other, and then Digan ran into the court and ran all the way to the front court. Just now Ancelotti didn't even give him time to warm up, but after running a few steps now, his body can be regarded as The event is on.
Kaka looked at Degan, couldn't help but feel happy, and extended his thumb to Degan. Being able to play at least shows that Degan's current situation in the team is not too bad.
Digan smiled and shouted to Kaka: "Remember to pass the ball to my feet later, and I will solve the rest of the problem!"
