Chapter 88 Pato

After the winter break, the Italian arena rekindled the battle. The first match was the second round of the Coppa Italia. Fiorentina, who played with all substitutes, beat Treviso 3-0 at home and easily advanced 6-1 in the two rounds.

Several strong teams including Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio and Juventus also passed the test smoothly and defeated their respective opponents.

AC Milan, also an Italian giant, drew 1:1 with Catania in the away game. The total score of the two rounds was 2:3. The Coppa Italia failed to go on. However, due to the intensive schedule, the Coppa Italia was something that AC Milan had long wanted to give up. In the game, this can be seen from the fact that Pirlo was replaced after falling behind 0:1.

Losing the Coppa Italia is not a big loss, and it is impossible to win the championship if you continue to play. The only loss is that the young Paroschi, who is on the rise, will lose more training opportunities in the future. In this game, he scored the team's only goal. goal.

Represented AC Milan twice in official matches, and once as a substitute, scoring two goals. Speaking of which, all AC Milan goals in this season's cup match came from the feet of the 17-year-old star. Such an efficiency, for a team For a "post-90s" striker, it can be described as a miracle.

Perhaps Ancelotti should have Paroschi in the starting lineup. The single-arrow formation proved to be ineffective once again against a defensive team. In the first half, the commentator kept saying: "Girardi No lack of support, AC Milan should come up with more ways to attack."

In the second half, even though Pirlo, the team's best performer in the first half, was replaced, Paroschi still brought vitality. His appearance gave AC Milan more opportunities on the front line.

Parosci, who takes Inzaghi as his idol, is the first striker, but because Gilardino is at the front, this time his position has to be retreated a bit. He doesn't have many chances to get the ball in this game, but he The pulling line on the forward line is clear. Gilardino got the one-handed goal in the second half. From the slow motion, Paroschi pulled a defender wide for him, creating a huge gap. The key point is that when Gilardino hit the goal with a single goal and was saved, Paroschi also missed the opportunity to plug in and almost made it up.

Even though he came off the bench, Paroschi still got a chance to score. This was his only shot in the second half. Si Qi ran out of excellent space, facing the attacking Bizari, he calmly pushed a far corner and rewritten the score to 1:1.

After the game, Paroschi also had regrets in his joy: "Goals are always wonderful, but it would be even better if we could qualify. We had many opportunities, but we were not lucky enough. Gilardino's volley The shot was beautiful, but the goalkeeper made a great save, tonight coach Ancelotti told me to go close to Gilardino, I think I did it, but unfortunately I couldn't score the second goal. "

Ancelotti was not only not disappointed after the game because of Parosch's goal, but was very happy: "Parosch's scoring ability is very strong, and he still has time and opportunities to show his strength in the future. I think he is A promising new star."

AC Milan's youth training system is a topic that has been talked about recently. Although Pato has made everyone's eyes shine, after all, his worth is as high as 22 million, and AC Milan does not have many 22 million that can be invested in the transfer market.

In contrast, if more Parosci emerge, the team's lineup will go much smoother. Over the years, ac milan has also introduced many newcomers in cup games and warm-up matches, but none of them stand out like paroschi, from matri, piccolo, to pozzi who did not represent ac milan in official games , as well as Borriello who did not come from the AC Milan youth academy, and then Mazzorati, Antonelli, Guelchi, Abate, Antonini, Donadell who are not in the striker position, none of them are like Par Rosch is as good as Di Gennaro, who played against Udinese last season, may have shown impressive skills, but he does not have the data support like Paroschi.

Moreover, Paroschi is only 17 years old, he is the youngest of these rising stars, at this time last year, he was still participating in the "National Student League", and now he has scored goals in the Coppa Italia. Such an eye-catching newcomer can be traced back to Maldini 24 years ago.

While people's eyes are focused on Pato, another AC Milan rising star whose name also starts with "pa" is also performing a small miracle.

Two Coppa Italia games, two goals, people are now discussing Paoloski, and even regard him as the best player in the Italian Youth Cup.

But Digan, who came from later generations, knows very well that Parowski does have talent and potential. If he is given a chance, he is definitely capable of surprising everyone, but he obviously cannot get such an opportunity in AC Milan.

Rather than saying that AC Milan is now promoting Parowski, it is better to say that it is building momentum for Pato's debut.

He joined in a high-profile transfer in the summer, but because of Brazil's domestic protection policy, Pato has been training and playing in Milan's youth team, and he can't represent AC Milan until January.

In the eighteenth round of the league, Pato finally came out after a long wait, and the alien Ronaldo, who had previously gone to Brazil to recuperate, returned with him.

The match between AC Milan and Naples was not only fans but also people in the circle who were curious about Pato. At this time, many players and coaches of other teams watched it at home or in hotels this game.

People want to see how powerful Pato is, so that AC Milan will not hesitate to put all the transfer funds on him alone in the summer.

The final result of the game was a bit surprising, 5:2, AC Milan won a big victory after losing the Milan derby, and more importantly, Pato scored a goal, and Ronaldo, who returned from injury, also scored a goal.

At the press conference after the game, Ancelotti spoke highly of Pato's performance: "Judging from his performance, he is an alien. It seems that his skills are definitely not like an 18-year-old. Kid, it looks like a 30-year-old star."

However, in the face of the successful debut and the sudden praise, Pato was very calm, but after he learned that some people had called it a "phenomenon", he quickly said: "No, no, in my opinion, the 'phenomenon' is only One, he is Ronaldo, he is the real 'phenomenon'. Playing alongside him and Kaka is like a dream."

"Yesterday, I was very calm," Pato went on, "because President Berlusconi and my teammates told me that I needed to be calm, and I have to say that everything went well, and also because my family was watching me from the stands, I dedicate my goals to my family."

Ten years of searching for guns, ten gunmen.

AC Milan played against Naples at home, and it was the turn of the eleventh red and black gunner to play!

He will be the youngest striker to represent AC Milan in Serie A for the first time in ten years, and also the Brazilian duckling who has been waiting for the longest time after joining Milan. He will finally appear in Serie A wearing Milan jersey for the first time superior.

Last summer, AC Milan had acquired Pato for an astonishing 22 million euros, but because the young man was under 18 at the time, his league registration had to be postponed until January this year.

During this period, Pato could only train with the team in Milanello and participate in some informal competitions such as the "Kiev Invitational Tournament". At the beginning of the new year, the Milan team went to Dubai for winter training, and Pato had to return to Brazil to go through the cumbersome transfer procedures. This duck, which had been cooked for half a year, was finally about to "fly".

Compared with his predecessors in the past 10 years, Pato's new gun has given Milan fans great expectations. His ability may not necessarily surpass other red and black killers, but he can be defined as "better than Ronaldinho" by Ancelotti at the age of 18, which shows his great influence, and more importantly, Pato is more Most of them showed their strength through the youth team competitions. They have not participated in the real top leagues. The more mysterious they are, the more they are worth looking forward to.

Ancelotti has a high evaluation of Pato: "Pato has Inzaghi's sense of grabbing points, Ronaldo's technology and Kaka's dribbling ability. Apart from saying that he is a perfect striker, there is no need to say more. "

Pato is 1.79 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms. He is indeed an attacker with comprehensive qualities. He has a good ability to score goals with both left and right feet and headers. Moreover, his physical coordination has inherited the talent of Latin players. Naturally, his skills are not needed. Suspect.

From Pato, people can easily think of a Spaniard back then: Jose Mari!

When he joined Milan 8 years ago, Jose Mari was only 21 years old. He was the future star of Atletico Madrid and the Spanish youth team, and his transfer value was as high as 19 million euros.

But the Spaniard with good skills will not look for shooting opportunities among the Serie A defenders. In addition, his body is not tough enough. After two and a half seasons, he only scored 5 league goals.

Later, Trim tried to change him to play as a winger to give full play to his technical advantages, but after the more comprehensive Thomason joined, the decadent Jose Mari could only be rented back to Spain, and finally sold at a low price.

Jose Mari's compatriot Moreno also came to Milan with the title of La Liga's prolific scorer and UEFA Cup runner-up. Worse than the former is that Moreno, who was originally full of impact, only performed in a few cup games in a season, and immediately bid farewell to the cruel Serie A and disappeared from people's sight.

Although the two Spaniards mentioned above have outstanding abilities, the reason why it is difficult to succeed is the difference between the leagues. In La Liga, personal ability is particularly obvious in the game, and the defense intensity faced by forwards is not as strong as in Serie A. severe.

Speaking of style of play, let's take a look at some of Pato's compatriots.

Oliveira, the Milan striker who was considered a complete failure last season, is brave again after returning to La Liga this season.

In Serie A, the striker who can only detour on the side and cannot go straight to the center, gave the deepest impression last season as a headless fly.

Although he bent his bow and shot the "Blue Eagle" in his first league appearance, he still failed to integrate into Milan in the end, and he grabbed his partner and midfield teammates many times, which is even more ironic.

Oliveira's lesson reminded Pato Jr. that personal talent is very important, but it is definitely not an inevitable factor for success in Serie A. How to integrate into the team's tactics is the most critical.

Kaka, who had a temper tantrum with his coach and teammates in Brazil back then, has now paid great attention to the cooperation with his teammates and has won numerous personal honors.

Even Ronaldo, who has been in Serie A for many years, after coming to Milan last winter, he paid great attention to partnering with his teammates on the offensive line, and his technical grasp was more used in assists and attack planning.

Rational over impetuous, humbly integrated into the Italian football system is the direction of Pato's efforts. If Rivaldo only indulges in his own dribbling performance, he will eventually fail.

In fact, in terms of striker type, the Brazilian teenager should be more like a European striker, and Crespo should be the most outstanding striker who has successfully landed in Serie A from the South American continent and has transformed and strengthened.

In 2004, Crespo was seconded to San Siro. Although he only had one season, he successfully integrated into Ancelotti's overall offensive system, especially during the absence of Sheva, he led Milan to a two-round victory over Manchester United in the Champions League. Showed his killer qualities. There are not so many fancy moves, and such a forward who regards grabbing points and scoring as everything seems to have more room to play in Milan.

What is the reason?

At least judging from the tactics Ancelotti has led the team over the years, it is obvious that it is a solid defense, midfield control and scheduling, and strikers to seize opportunities reasonably.

Therefore, "opportunists" have a lot of room to play. Crespo is like this, Thomason is like this, Inzaghi is even more like this, and the German heavy artillery Bierhoff is also a typical efficient center forward.

In terms of physical characteristics, Pato can learn more from Inzaghi. The movement skills of "Super Pipo" on the offside line can definitely be referenced and imitated by Pato.

Compared with centers like Crespo and Bierhoff, Pato is not suitable in terms of size, but if he can learn the key to the success of his predecessors, the incomparable desire for goals, the little guy can also integrate into the ball immediately Team.

In this regard, Gilardino can be said to be a negative example.

When he was in Parma, he was the best center forward. Although his skills are average, he has great lethality in front of the goal. After joining Milan, it may be that the price of 24 million euros is too much pressure. In addition, Milan's offensive tactics are more than Gilardino. As a beacon, Gilardino gradually became mediocre and lost the spirit that he should have at this age. Now he has to make no mistakes as the standard in every game, and even has the embarrassment of not shooting a goal in the whole game.

The club also understands that Gilardino's problem is not in ability, but in psychology, so they have not abandoned Gilardino, and have always regarded him as the leader of the striker in the next 10 years.

Now that Pato is here, the pressure on Gilardino should be reduced, and the media also analyzed that Gilardino and Pato are likely to play together with the ability that the two cannot perform alone, a center forward and a second striker , Gilardino's body and impact, Pato's technology and awareness, should make them a good pair.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and Pato is always ready for Inzaghi and Ronaldo's "tests" in turn.

After all, where is Pato's role model?

Perhaps what is about to give the answer is the No. 7 jersey on his body, the treasure left by Milan's greatest striker in the past 10 years. Becoming or even surpassing Shevchenko is Pato's real goal.

Sheva is not a standard penalty area center, but he does not lack the strength and body to fight in the penalty area. More importantly, he also has the perfect essence of speed, technology and team cooperation.

It can be said that the Ukrainian is one of the greatest No. 7s in Milan history, and after this jersey was "ruined" by Oliveira last season, this season is destined to bring important inspiration to Pato.

Kaka once commented that Pato's biggest advantage is age: "He can continue to learn, and there is a lot of room for improvement."

Kaka was 22 years old when he joined Milan, while Pato was only 18 years old. The Milan club should introduce the "duck" into a direction suitable for the Serie A offensive system and train him into a world-class striker with a perfect combination of body, technology and consciousness. .

Milan has plenty of time, Pato also has plenty of time, and the game against Naples is just the beginning, the beginning of a new Milan legend.

Pato officially joined, Ronaldo played again, and after the winter break, AC Milan dispatched the Brazilian Trident at San Siro and achieved their first home victory in the league this season.

The Brazilian teenager Pato, who has been paid attention to for half a year, finally made his official debut at San Siro, and became a blockbuster, talking about his favorite player who has been given high expectations.

Ancelotti said: "In the team's internal vision, we hope to keep Pato relatively low-key. Now we want to let him slowly integrate into the team. Pato played a very beautiful game, but he To learn how to function as a part of the team, how to serve the team, as if the team also learn how to serve him better. Pato needs protection, he is still young, we have to help him, We will help him to look at his achievements with calm and humility."

AC Milan's 5:2 victory over Naples was the real debut of the teenager Pato after joining AC Milan, and he turned that night into a real Pato night.

In the game, Pato's wonderful performance seems to indicate that the 22 million euros spent by the AC Milan club last summer was not a bamboo basket, but a real potential stock invested.

Berlusconi is also very excited about his investment: "He already has the conditions to become a champion player, and he has proved this through incredible performance. I noticed that in addition to his amazing speed, he also has the ability to become a champion." The natural feel for the position, you see him everywhere, he's an absolute genius."

Enthusiastic, Berlusconi recalled how Pato joined: "We first heard some news from our friends in Brazil, and then we saw DVDs of his performances and goals. Those pictures let us Rekindled the excitement we felt when we saw van basten perform, and ronaldo assured us that he was absolutely right, so we unanimously decided that pato was the best option to strengthen ac milan's team Candidate, although because of the competition for him, our cost has risen from the original quotation of 10 million euros to the final negotiated 22 million euros."

Berlusconi immediately released even more bold words. The arrival of Pato has allowed AC Milan to make up for the regret of missing Digan and Ibrahimovic.

At the same time, with Pato coming to the fore, Berlusconi seems to have finally given up on his plan to introduce Ronaldinho: "Ronaldinho has never been our real goal, there will always be players in the locker room." Regarding his problems, he had his problems at Barcelona and now we have Pato, we don't need him."

The golden boy Kaka, who accompanied Pato to complete his AC Milan league debut, also said after the game that Pato is worthy of the title of "Little Golden Boy" and becomes his successor.

Many football experts have also said that Pato's characteristics are very perfect. In him, we can see the perfect combination of the characteristics of Shevchenko and Kareka. Nardinho's gone."

Berlusconi won the bet. He began to vigorously build momentum for this game half a year ago, and carefully re-packaged Pato. Ancelotti was also very knowledgeable and started preparing for this game early. In order to let Pato start, He did not hesitate to cut down the Christmas tree of last season's success, and put Gourcuff, who had just shown his talent and ability, on the bench.

Pato was lucky, the opponent landed just in front of him with a big kick, and then he only needed to use his speed to easily get rid of his opponent. Thinking back to those hard-working attacks before but failed repeatedly, this is a typical example of planting flowers intentionally but planting willows unintentionally.

After a long wait, it came out, half a year of hype and waiting, all paid off at that moment.

All the media exclaimed unanimously, a new myth was born, and the culture of "newcomers immediately shine" in Serie A was continued.

In fact, Milan has always liked to play such games. Weah, Bierhoff, Shevchenko, and Kakamo did not book early to build momentum for their debut, but with such a huge momentum, Pato is the only one.

A very natural question lies ahead, will Pato be Shevchenko or Oliveira?

You know, Oliveira also had such a "dream start" against Lazio in the first round of last season, winning the game in just seven minutes, but this has become his permanent memory in Milan.

Pato came to AC Milan in a special period, just as Shevchenko was regarded as the "new Basten", Pato was also regarded as the "new Sheva".

After Shevchenko left, AC Milan desperately needed a banner striker, a role that even a fully recovered Ronaldo couldn't play.

The whole team, from the boss, the coach to the senior players, all doted on him and protected him. It was really like holding him in his hand and afraid of flying away, and holding him in his mouth for fear of melting.

Seedorf sacrificed his position for him, and Ronaldo sacrificed his glory for him, so that Ronaldo was still ignored after scoring two goals that night.

Last season's Oliveira was far from having such luck. In fact, he was only used as a pawn by AC Milan to seduce Ronaldinho, because his agent happened to be Ronaldinho's brother Assis.

In addition, he is just an "ordinary" Brazilian player, without Pato's sunny appearance or popularity with Ronaldo and Kaka. When he encounters difficulties, no one helps him, so that after a fantastic start They sleepwalked all the way down.

Of course, Pato will encounter difficulties in the next game. All defenders are carefully observing his running route and habitual area on TV, but Pato has a lot of popularity.

Everyone tried their best to pass the ball for him, just like Ronaldo chose to cross the middle when he could completely kick himself, and Pato almost faced the empty goal and still hit the ball on the goalkeeper who had given up.

Now that he has spent so much effort to carefully design and won the first bet, just like signing Shevchenko back then, Berlusconi has no reason to give up halfway, he will only continue to make heavy bets to follow.

After signing Shevchenko at the beginning, he married Shevchenko with a luxury yacht, which stunned Shevchenko, who was born in a bitterly cold place in Ukraine. The Ukrainian gave back with the top scorer in the first season of Serie A.

Now Shevchenko is proud of his success and fame, and gets a high salary even if he doesn't perform well. Of course, he doesn't care about a few yachts.

Berlusconi will not care about his first pet, because he already has a new favorite, younger and more worthy of continued investment.

Will the duckling turn into a swan?

People are looking forward to it. Only Digan knows Pato's future development trajectory. AC Milan has played several games in a row.

It is often a high-profile comeback, and then a return to the sick bed.

Digan does not deny Pato's talent and potential. He is definitely the best among the younger generation in Brazil, even better than Neymar, who has been hyped by countless people, but his mentality and injuries have ruined him. The identity of the son-in-law made him even more confused about his position, and he could only flee back to Brazil in embarrassment to lick his wounds.

So when AC Milan fans cheered and thought they had found a new striker, Digan broke the cold water in a timely manner: "The game was good, I want to congratulate Ricardo, they finally won a victory at home, For Pato, I can't comment on anything, a game can't decide anything, in my opinion Ronaldo is even better!"

Ronaldo scored twice in the game and was judged the best player of the game after the game.

"Whether Pato is really as powerful as you said, I am very interested in doing a test, we will meet soon, and by then, I hope he can bring some surprises to everyone! "
