Chapter 23 Digan's opponents

Degan's two major enemies in Serie A, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is still continuing his heroic performance. Although the number of goals in the competition is no longer mentioned, the contest between the two will be in other aspects. continue.

As for Adriano, Degan didn't pay attention to him before, and he won't in the future. It turns out that Adriano is just an idiot who can't help him.

Inter Milan drew, Zlatan Ibrahimovic dedicated a wonderful game, Adriano served as a good audience for Italy.

Another company in Milan City, AC Milan, led by Degan's brother and opponent Kaka, won a big victory, changing the bad habit of slow league development in recent seasons.

Kaka's performance also made people understand a truth again: if you can't stop Kaka, you can't stop Milan.

But who can stop Kaka?

Genoa's few Serie A "novices" are far from enough.

Kaka dragged the new season back to the Champions League at the end of last season. With his goal, Milan made great strides.

A summer break and abandonment of the America's Cup did not make Kaka lose the feeling on the court, and it was even more violent. In the previous Champions League qualifiers, Kaka only played the second game against the Belgrade Red Star due to injury, but he was It was with his two goals and one assist that AC Milan advanced.

Another brace, Kaka scored twice in the first round, it seems that breaking through last season's 8 goals is easy.

With Kaka like this, there is one more player in the battle for the Serie A scorer list. Although the battle between Digan and Ibrahimovic is very exciting for people to watch, if someone joins this battle, of course people will only Hands up.

Kaka scored twice last season, once in a 5-2 victory over Ascoli, and once in a 3-0 Catania. At that time, Kaka's goals ended Milan's goals in more than 200 minutes in various games shortage.

In this game, Kaka quickly entered the state. In the eighth minute, he took a long shot from 25 meters away, but it was a pity that he shot a little high. Then he confronted defender Vega several times. The Genoa captain was barely able to fight at first, and then Can't keep up with the rhythm at all, Odo crossed in front of Kakamen and easily scored. The penalty kick that scored twice was also played very freely, pushing the bottom left corner of the goal. In the second half, Milan deliberately slowed down the pace of possession of the ball, and Kaka no longer looked for a breakthrough space, saving strength for the European Super Cup.

Kaka's state is so hot, of course AC Milan will not sit idly by. In fact, since the end of last season, the two sides have been discussing the issue of contract renewal.

Kaka revealed after the game: "I am considering renewing my contract with Milan, but neither of us is in a hurry. Thinking about my first signing, four years ago, it seems like a century has passed."

Kaka is also happy with Milan's signings this season: "In order to be competitive in all competitions, there must be more replacements in each position. Pato's talent is definitely enough. He must make good use of the second half of the year and recognize himself. What kind of world did you land in?"

Kaka's goals for the season are very simple. First, the Super Cup, and then the Ballon d'Or. He believes there are five favorites to win the championship. Inter Milan, Roma, Juventus and Fiorentina are all capable of competing for the championship. The most worried opponent in the Champions League is also Degan played for Fiorentina.

"They are more like chariots. Whoever wants to win the championship has to get over obstacles like Fiorentina."

Kaka performed well, but the state of the other person disappointed the fans of Milan. In the first round, Ancelotti chose Gila as the starter. To be honest, this is also a test for the former Parma striker.

In the first two seasons of Milan, Gilardino seemed to have lost the bravery he had in Parma. In the summer, he was almost "sold out" by the club. But everything passed, and Jira started a new journey again.

As a starter, Gila showed full confidence: "Actually, I am used to the voice of controversy and criticism."

Facing the reporter's question, he said unabashedly, "However, I feel very good in the preseason this summer. There is no problem with my physical condition. I seem to be a bit impatient. I am looking forward to the start of this great season." ."

Self-confidence may have helped him, but he didn't have much eye-catching performance in the game. Gilardino seemed to be in a state of displeasure. He almost disappeared in the first 30 minutes and even lost a chance to expand the score. Odo's wonderful pass He was wasted in vain.

Until the stoppage time of the first half, Gilardino broke into the penalty area and was pulled down by the opponent's goalkeeper Rubinho, creating a penalty, which was also his greatest contribution in this field.

In the second half, Gila still worked very hard, but he rarely performed well, but Ancelotti still kept him on the court, in order to let him continue to find his form, but Ronaldo is actively preparing to come back, Gilatino should hurry up It's time.

Rather than being absent due to injury, it is better to say that he deliberately hid it. Seeing Ronaldo's sudden and substantial weight loss success made the media a little more speculation. Ronaldo did lose weight successfully. In one summer, he lost ten catties. The mystery is finally finding the cause of Ronaldo's obesity, hypothyroidism.

This disease is actually not serious. The main symptoms are chills, fatigue, indifferent expression, unresponsiveness, weight gain and poor appetite. This reveals why Ronaldo did not eat much, but gained weight instead, and the secret of his slowing down. up.

Finding the cause of the disease will naturally eliminate the root cause of the disease, and the effect has been seen. The weight has dropped from 95 kg to 90 kg, and the goal of 87 kg is within reach. Now Ronnie is still insisting on losing weight and exercising, and a special training plan given to him by the team doctor is also helping him. AC Milan is waiting for a brand new Ronaldo to appear in Serie A.

Milan won, and Juventus, who returned to Serie A, also won. Where it ended, it started. This is true for Juventus, and even more so for Trezeguet.

Juventus lost to Spezia in the last round of Serie B last season. After Trezeguet scored a goal, he made a gesture of "15 goals, you still have to drive me away", mocking Juventus' team building strategy.

Two and a half months later, the changes were earth-shaking, the contract was renewed, and another prelude to Juventus was kicked off with a goal, which was much more glorious than the goal that pulled the curtain down last season.

In this restarted summer, in order to form a strong enough team, Juventus made a lot of moves in the transfer market, which also caused a lot of turmoil within the team. There are more negative news. Now, The feeling of a relaunched Juventus is one of solidarity.

Trezeguet has scored in the first round of four consecutive Serie A seasons, and usually scores a lot of goals. This year is even a hat trick.

Trezeguet's strength is clearly demonstrated in Juventus' 143 goals. He is the best foreign shooter in the history of Juventus, even surpassing his predecessor Michel Platini. Currently, he is only two goals away from the league's 100 goals . In this field, after receiving Nedved's pass and kicking the ball on Amelia, he never gave up the opportunity. He punished Italy's No. 2 goal three times with a header, left foot push, and right heel.

The second goal perfectly cooperated with Iaquinta. He caught the ball in the counterattack and passed the last defender. He shot in the face of Amelia, which was very entertaining.

Perhaps Trezeguet wanted to dedicate his hat-trick to Domenech the most. The French coach classified him into the French second team because he was in the second division team, but now?

Will Domenech still ignore a fiery Trezeguet?

Trezeguet said after the game: "I am very happy that Juventus can play at a high level. This is a united and combative team. There is no shortage of experienced players and young players. The audience has confidence in us, and we will do our best. Give them all back. Of course, there are still some things that need to be improved, but this start has made us extremely happy and we want to tell everyone that Juventus is back!"

Trezeguet scoffed at the statement that Inter Milan would rule Serie A for four or five years: "At the beginning, we were always one level higher than them. In the past 10 years, Juventus is still the strongest. Even though we have encountered some setbacks, we are still the strongest. team!"

After summing up the game, coach Ranieri did not forget to say: "David is simply too strong. I was very surprised when I saw his gesture. Maybe he thought he was not in the team's plan, but how could it be possible?"

In the 2007/2008 season, the Italian Serie A was rekindled. The main theme of the new Serie A season is "adjustment". There are many things to watch in the new Serie A season, but the suspense is limited. The strong contenders for the championship, Roma, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Juventus will be the top four most powerful contenders.

There are profound historical reasons to regard "adjustment" as the main theme of the new season of Serie A. After the chaotic summer of 2006, Juventus was relegated, and AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina were punished. The relegation of Juventus is a revolutionary shock**, and the layout of several other clubs is also inevitable, because this scandal has been greatly affected.

Moggi, Giraudo and other figures who denounced Serie A in the past have disappeared. Carraro and other powerful factions entrenched in Italian football functional institutions have also completely disappeared. The old order has been broken and the new order has not yet been established. In this situation Under the circumstances, Inter Milan won the Serie A championship last season, which is a verification of strength and the general trend.

While AC Milan won the UEFA Champions League and the Italian national team dominated the 2006 World Cup, this fully reflects the profound strength of Italian football.

The return of Juventus, the Zebra Club spent nearly 60 million euros to enhance the lethality of the team. At the same time, there are two old giants, Naples and Genoa. More importantly, these two The bosses of the old giants, whether it is the film industry tycoon De Laurentiis or the toy king Pretz Osi, have money and are willing to invest in football, and the two clubs they own are also fans. Many, the market prospect is promising.

If Juventus will take fourth place as the lowest goal of the season for granted, then Naples and Genoa will definitely rush for the UEFA Cup places.

The return of these three traditional giants to Serie A will also stimulate the revenue of the entire Serie A league, ticket revenue, and TV broadcast revenue. This gives Serie A, a large company, the opportunity to adjust, enrich, and even improve after the major impact of last season.

Since this will be a season with "adjustment" as the main theme, the adjustment of personnel is inevitable. The departure of a group of veterans represented by Lucarelli will inevitably make nostalgic people a little uncomfortable, but in the summer of 2007 The Italian football transfer market is not as bad as before, like Zidane and Ronaldo being poached by Real Madrid, or like Thuram and Zambrotta being robbed by Barcelona, ​​it did not happen in the summer of 2007. It turns out that even a player like Chivu who has been stared at by La Liga for a long time, although he changed his club, he still stayed in Serie A.

In the transfer market, several foreign players acquired by Italian clubs performed well in friendly matches. Taking Roma as an example, Juan is a very good defender and can temporarily fill the gap on the left. It is Barcelona's abandoned player, but it seems to be tailor-made for Spalletti's formation. Roma finally reached the top 8 of the UEFA Champions League last season. Although they lost to Manchester United, they got the opportunity to exercise and the precious European With combat experience, his strength this season has steadily improved, and the new Serbian striker Jankovic in the team is also quite capable.

In the new season of Serie A, it is not just the Roma family who are pragmatic. The Uruguayan Gargano acquired by Naples is said to be a mixture of Gattuso and Pizarro. In Juventus, there was the young Portuguese defender Andrade. After the first game, there were indeed a lot of criticisms, but how many fans now still remember that when Nesta just debuted, it was not by Wei Wei. Ah Xi is very playful. When Montero first arrived in Serie A, wasn't he also considered a parallel importer with big moves and only eating cards. With excellent physical fitness and great personality, he should have a bright future under Ranieri, and what AC Milan fans are most looking forward to is definitely Pato, who will arrive in January next year.

Inter Milan drew with Udinese in the first round. Although the Inter fans were disappointed, it was actually a good thing for Inter Milan. The record of last season is certainly brilliant, but Inter Milan should actually be soberly aware that it was almost a "no opponent" season. The absence of Juventus, the penalty points of AC Milan and Fiorentina, and the weak strength of Roma's bench have all achieved success. won the honor of Inter Milan.

Inter Milan is the only super giant in this new season. Compared with AC Milan, Roma and Juventus, Inter Milan's strength is higher by one section, but in the long league, the points must be fought game by game. Whether it is Moratti The chairman, or the club's top management, whether it is Mancini, Mihajlovic, or every player, it is best not to be overwhelmed by the honor of last season and the high expectations for the centennial celebration. It's just that neither Serie A nor the UEFA Champions League is a game, let alone a child's play. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be very serious, and many people will not be able to bear it.

In fact, the main enemies of Mancini and Inter Milan are neither Rome nor Fiorentina, AC Milan or Juventus, but themselves.

The game against Udinese proved this point again. If Cruise's single-handed goal is scored, if Mancini employs people more decisively, if Inter Milan is more decisive in most of the second half, if~ ~~~~~~

That game probably wouldn't have ended 1:1.

Fortunately, Udinese is not an easy opponent to deal with. Inter Milan was once tied by the pair last season. More importantly, Mancini and his team still have time.

In terms of strength, Fiorentina, Roma and AC Milan are the most powerful competitors. For Inter Milan, the most important thing now is not to establish a leading edge, but not to be left behind. Once the UEFA Champions League starts , Inter Milan has a thick bench, and the huge advantage of the balance between the main force and the substitute lineup will be reflected. In this sense, 1:1 is not terrible, and it may even become a bitter medicine. An overly optimistic new season.

In terms of lineup, Inter Milan can't simply wait for the comeback of Materazzi and Vieira. The bench is very strong, and Mancini must have a variety of countermeasures.

It's just that Mancini doesn't seem to be good at this kind of improvisation. He is far less experienced than his senior Ancelotti who served in the same city. Learn from a coach like Dee.

Now, Inter Milan also has its own big troubles. This is Adriano. The Brazilian has become a complete tasteless person. If the emperor finds a way out, if this problem is not handled properly, it may cause a chain reaction, because one of the sequelae of a strong bench is that there are many potential crises in the locker room.

In addition to Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, and Roma all looked very eye-catching in the games that have ended this round.

In Palermo, Roma once again proved why they can beat Inter Milan and win the Italian Super Cup. Zamparini's anger does not help his team, and at least from the books, Roma's opponent is The strongest one in the confrontation between strong and weak.

In the first half of the game, the Roma team showed a mercury-like offensive. In addition to two goals, Totti and Vusinic both had chances to score, but the opponent's old goalkeeper Fontana performed too much. Excellent, Barzagli also made a clearance on the goal line. If you are lucky, you may score 3:0 or even 4:0 in the first half. The match played by Roma in our factory is indeed a bit "crazy" .

The new aid Giuly has shown good technical skills. His breakthrough has given Roma another weapon. Aquilani has matured rapidly. Now Pizarro needs to win his position by competition after recovering from injury. Panucci is still alive and well. What's even more frightening is that this is only "half Rome".

Cicinho only came off the bench at the last moment, Juan and Pizarro are still recovering from their injuries, Perotta's red card appeal in the Super Cup was unsuccessful, this round of suspension, and Mancini Jr. is still recovering from his injury.

In addition, there are Esposito and Baruso on the bench. Roma may also buy left-back Modesto from Regina at the last moment of the transfer market. In contrast, at least after the first round, Rome has more potential to be tapped than his opponents.

The only disharmony came from Totti's anger when he was replaced, but for a management expert like Spalletti, this is not a problem in the locker room, it's just a small episode.

What about AC Milan?

Although the task of the European Super Cup is in sight, they still defeated Genoa pleasingly, allowing their opponents to see the actual gap between the first and second divisions! The battle was easily resolved in the first half, and the situation was truly controlled in the second half.

Ancelotti said before the game: "The start will affect the entire league, and everyone wants to get a good start."

Obviously, Fatty An got his wish.

In the match against Genoa, after the first 10 minutes, AC Milan firmly controlled the situation in their own hands. Kaka was still outstanding. What is even more gratifying is that Nesta and Pierre were in two key positions. Luo showed an excellent state at the beginning of the new season. In the score after the game, Nesta and Kaka tied for the highest 7.5 points, followed by Pirlo's 7 points. Pirlo not only assisted Ambrosini to score , and frequently used long passes to instigate offenses, the familiar Pirlo is back. In addition, goalkeeper Dida has also been reassuring since the beginning of the summer.

After the game, Ancelotti said: "I had doubts about the team's state before, but now I have no doubts."

When Ronaldo will return to the team, AC Milan will have a completely neat lineup. After that, the European Super Cup will be their first championship in multi-line combat this season. After a long vacation, the fatigue of last season will be swept away And Guang, the current AC Milan is in full condition and full of confidence.

What about Juventus?

Trezeguet proved everything with goals. Who is the best player of this round, he or Kaka? The poor French striker, after the abandonment of the national team, the nightmare of the World Cup and a season of Serie B, finally turned around Chance to prove yourself.

5:1!

Juventus, who returned to Serie A, made a strong start. Trezeguet, Del Piero and Nedved are immortal. Almiron, Criscito and Iaquinta have become new discoveries for the team, especially Almiron , Changed Juventus' old slightly mechanical offensive method, injected aura and creativity into the team, and Iaquinta further enriched the team's striker types and styles of play.

The greater significance of Juventus' victory lies in the improvement of the team's confidence, which is why Juventus continued to attack at the last moment. From Serie B to Serie A, no one, including the Juventus club itself I don't even know what my own position is. The 5:1 start can be said to have given the team a shot in the arm. You know, this is just a newly formed team. As the game progresses and the running-in deepens, the team will play better and better.

Of course, what will follow is a change in the opponent's style of play. The opponent will study Juventus' strengths and weaknesses more carefully, deploy heavy troops in defense, and "take care" of Trezeguet more fiercely. It's all Ranieri and his players have to deal with in the game.

The new season of Serie A has just started, and four teams have already appeared in the top five of the championship group. AC Milan, Juventus and Roma have achieved convincing victories respectively. Only the defending champion Inter Milan was defeated by Udi at their home court. Ness drew 1:1.

So what's next?

In the first round of the league, there is still the last game left. Fiorentina will face Empoli at home. Degan and his friends are ready to let enemies like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, let Kaka, Te It is obviously not Digan's character that an opponent like Lei Zegai is unique.

"I'm happy for Ricardo's performance, he has such quality, but it's too early for people to start talking about the league title. I know there are many people who are optimistic about Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, Even Juventus, which has just returned from a dead body, often evaluates Fiorentina just that they have a chance, but what we have to do now is to tell everyone that we not only have a chance, but also that we are the most favorable contender for the league title. Because I never try to look up to my defeated opponent!"

Defeated!

That's right!

These four competitors have all suffered defeats in the hands of Degan. In the 2004/2005 season, the fledgling Degan led Atlanta to double-kill Juventus. In the following season, Degan returned to Milan. After achieving this feat, and then smoothly solved Inter Milan. Last season, even in the last round of the league, AC Milan had to beg UEFA to get a wild card for the Champions League qualifiers.

As for Roma, as long as Degan is on the field, his team has never lost, and Roma has not even been able to get a draw against Degan's team.

For the first opponent in the league, Empoli, Degan will not take it seriously. They did a good job last season, and even once hoped to enter the Champions League, but they soon showed their true colors, but the participation in the UEFA Cup The qualifications can no longer satisfy Empoli, whose heart is higher than the sky. Before the start of the season, their number one striker in the team, Digan's old acquaintance Shodati once said in an interview: "Our goal is only One, that is the Champions League! League champions? I don't think the media should underestimate us, we also have enough strength!"

When Degan learned of Saudati's "ambition", he didn't express anything other than laughing three times.

He ran into an old acquaintance in the first round of the league, and he was an old acquaintance who had close contact with him. Degan expressed that he was looking forward to this game, but he didn't want to say a word to Shodati: "Empoli's The strength is not bad, but it depends on who to compare with. Fiorentina is in a rising period, and we are improving every day. In contrast, Empoli is still missing their so-called "brilliance" last season. I think it's time for them to wake up."
