Chapter 24 Two big somersaults

The form on the court seems to be more and more unfavorable to AC Milan. AC Milan, who is good at controlling the ball and attacking on the ground, seems a bit embarrassed when dealing with this kind of rain battle. The heavy rain made it impossible to play at all.

Ancelotti is now looking forward to Ascoli's self-confidence bursting, and he can attack. When the space behind him appears, it will be AC Milan's opportunity.

It's a pity that Ancelotti took it for granted. Although Ascoli has a slight advantage, they are still playing very steadily. For them, if they can score a point against AC Milan , that would be a huge victory.

Ascoli refused to attack. AC Milan wanted to cooperate and score the ball into Ascoli's penalty area.

In the 24th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball in the middle, facing the pressure of the Ascoli players, and passed the ball to Serginho on the left. After Serginho got the ball, the muddy ground also There was no way to give full play to his speed and technical advantages. He passed the ball directly to Shevchenko in front. Control, watching, the opponent's defender rushed over, he could only choose a long shot, the result was outrageous again.

Even Shevchenko shook his head helplessly. In this kind of playing field, his characteristics can't be played out at all.

In the twenty-ninth minute, Shevchenko took the ball at the front of the penalty area, was brought down by the opponent's defender, and won a free kick. This is probably the best chance AC Milan has had so far in the game.

After Pirlo's run-up, he swung the ball horizontally and shook the wall built by Ascoli. Serginho rushed forward and volleyed directly. Looking at his shooting posture, it can be seen that, His kick was originally intended to hit a ground ball, but he didn't hit the right part, and the kicked football whizzed past the crossbar.

In the 31st minute, Ascoli also tried to fight back. It was Foggia who broke through Karadze along the right, and then did not directly choose to cross. Instead, he pulled across and cut into the penalty area, allowing AC In Milan's penalty area, there was a sudden panic. After dunking Stam, Foggia kicked a pass and passed it to the near post. Dida was also shaken by his teammate and fell to the ground in embarrassment. Get the ball and help AC Milan escape.

In the 39th minute, Foggia brought Serginho down while defending. The referee only gave a verbal warning. The Brazilian took a free kick from the left and was hit by Coppola. At the meter, his right foot was sent flying.

In the 42nd minute, Nesta brought down Quagliarella in front of the penalty area, Ascoli won their first free kick of the game, it was Foggia, he seemed to have to sing in this game As soon as the kid was in charge, he bounced a free kick with his left foot 27 meters in front of the goal and went straight to the right side of Milan's goal. Dida's judgment was wrong. Fortunately, he was on the side of AC Milan. Foggia's kick Shot just wide of the right post.

Before the end of the first half, AC Milan had already been tossed in this rainy battle. Ancelotti was also helpless at the moment, the field conditions were bad, and with such heavy rain, his tactics could not be played at all. , He can also see that this is not a player's problem.

Now Ancelotti can only look forward to the end of the first half soon, and wait until the halftime break to make adjustments.

At the end of the first half, Ascoli suddenly intercepted the ball from the backcourt. Gilardino dribbled the ball and tried to break through. As a result, he passed, but the football was left in place by a puddle. Nuo turned around, and the football was snatched away by Feeney first, and then with a big foot, he found Foggia on the right.

Foggia's performance today is really eye-catching. With his speed and technique, he is not at all stage-frightened in the face of AC Milan, his old club and strong enemy. It is really surprising.

After taking the ball, he made a light spike, which made the rushing Karazze unable to react at all. He slammed on the brakes and slid five or six meters straight.

After the dunk, Foggia directly took a 45-degree angle in Milan, chose to shoot, lobbed the far post, Dida quickly moved back, and then jumped up, trying to drag the ball out, but unfortunately, Foggia Foot shot, falling very fast, even Dida stretched his arm, still failed to prevent the football into the net, 1:0!

Seeing that the team he supported actually took the lead against the mighty AC Milan at home, more than 20,000 Ascoli fans burst into cheers, and Foggia was also very excited. running and shouting.

Perhaps Digan can understand Foggia's mood best. After being given up by AC Milan and leaving his hometown, when facing his old club, besides wanting to show himself, the most urgent thing is probably to let his old The owner regrets, regrets their original decision.

Take Foggia as an example, his talent and strength are unquestionable. Although he is still lacking in experience, when it comes to ability, he is definitely no worse than Serginho, but because he is young, because he Not a big name, he is destined not to get a chance in AC Milan.

Now Foggia tells the Milanese with a wonderful lob that even if he is just an unknown kid, he can still succeed.

When Foggia scored the ball, Ancelotti immediately turned around and walked into the player tunnel with a gloomy face. Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, it turned out that at this time, Ascoli scored up.

After Milan re-kicked off, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. 0:1, AC Milan fell behind when facing a team like Ascoli.

"Damn it, the team's performance in the first half was like shit!" Gattuso spat brazenly.

Digan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and was about to go on stage to warm up, but at this moment, the rain suddenly lightened up. After Digan jogged on the field for a while, the rain became sparse.

Is this a matter of character!

Otherwise, why wouldn't the rain water us!

Digan thought evilly.

After the intermission ended and the second half began, AC Milan significantly strengthened their attacking power. Only one minute into the second half, Kaka broke through the middle and was brought down by Kudini. Shevchenko was 20 minutes away from the goal on the left. Meters away, he took a free kick with his right foot, and Coppola flew to the left to block the ball.

AC Milan was eager to equalize the score, while Ascoli still played calmly and made up his mind to carry out the defensive counterattack to the end. In the 51st minute, Foggia made a cross from the right and Cafu stopped in the penalty area. The ball was almost a mistake, but he hurriedly cleared the siege without letting Quagliarella succeed.

In the 53rd minute, Shevchenko passed the ball, and Kaka made a breakthrough in the middle and was tackled by Lauro. Shevchenko took a free kick with his right foot 22 meters in front of the goal and Coppola blocked it again.

In the 55th minute, Ascoli launched a counterattack. Feeney took the ball from the left and cut in. At 12 meters in front of the goal, his right-footed shot missed the far post.

In the 56th minute, Serginho made a cross from the left, Gilardino responded at 9 meters in front of the goal, and the defender made a clearance in front of the melee.

AC Milan's offensive was like a tide, but it was a pity that the score was a little bit behind every time. Ancelotti was also anxious, walked to the sidelines a few steps, and shouted loudly.

Perhaps even God felt that the fat boy's voice was too disturbing. As soon as he walked to the sidelines, the heavy rain started again without warning, which instantly chilled Fatty An's heart.

Digan and Gattuso looked at it, and couldn't help being surprised, what kind of character is this!

Come back quickly!

If you don't come back, you will be struck by lightning!

Ancelotti ran towards the coach bench in embarrassment, but before he ran back, he heard another burst of cheers from the scene. When Ancelotti turned around, he happened to see Ascoli's Players run wildly to celebrate.

It turned out that after Gilardino's shot was blocked by Ascoli's defender, he passed directly to Foggia on the right with a big kick. Karadze was played by Foggia again, and Foggia made a cross after breaking through , Quagliarella, who quickly plugged in, headed the goal 9 meters away from the goal, and Dida fell to the ground and sealed it.

However, Feeney, who followed closely, shot from a small angle 5 meters from the right side of the goal, and Degan had no choice. Feeney directly faced the empty goal and scored the ball into the far corner. Ascoli 2:0 leading.

With two goals behind, even Degan's face became a little dignified. If he loses to a newly promoted team like Ascoli in the first game of the league, the impact on the team's morale will be very serious.

Ancelotti was stunned for a while before he realized it. The only expression he had was to shake his head in disappointment, and then he looked at the bench. But at this time, who should be replaced?

There is no need to change guards!

Midfielder?

There is no need to replace Rui Costa. With the current situation on the field, Rui Costa will not be able to perform even if he plays.

Vogel has not yet integrated into the team. In this game, Ancelotti originally wanted to fight the big team. If the score is large, let Vogel go up to feel the atmosphere of the game, but now this situation, Obviously the Swiss cannot be given a chance.

One Gattuso left?

Is it still necessary to strengthen the team's midfield defense ability now?

It's a good choice to change the striker. Gilardino's performance in this game made Ancelotti very disappointed, and it didn't play its due role at all.

But Vieri's state was even worse. As for Degan, he was ignored by Ancelotti gorgeously.
