Chapter Thirty-Five

Digan never thought that he could not even compete with Vieri. Among the team's five strikers, Dainzaghi was absent due to injury and just resumed training with the ball. Gilardino failed to integrate into the team. Although the performance in the last two games was very positive, his state was very bad, and Shevchenko was the only one who was considered normal.

As for Vieri, Degan didn't even take him seriously before. With injuries and age, the former super striker basically doesn't have too much competitiveness.

But now it seems that Degan still overestimates Ancelotti. Perhaps in this fat man's heart, personal grievances are far more important than the team's results. Otherwise, Ancelotti would not choose Viert , give up on him.

Before Degan always thought that as long as he could score goals, as long as he was in good condition, Ancelotti would use him even if he pinched his nose, but now Degan can only say that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny .

Seeing that Degan left the dressing room quickly after Ancelotti announced the main lineup like the previous two times, Kaka couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Kaka also wants to ask Ancelotti why Degan has been excluded from the main lineup. If Degan is really in a bad state, he can't blame others, but now everyone can see that Degan His state is definitely much better than that of Vieri, and during normal training, Degan has always been the hardest one in the team.

But looking at the teammates around him, Kaka finally held back, but the dissatisfaction in his heart slowly grew.

Ancelotti didn't take Degan seriously either. After announcing tomorrow's lineup, he immediately announced his disbandment. As soon as he returned to his office, Maldini arrived.

"Carol! I think it's time to settle some things!"

Maldini and Ancelotti were former teammates, and their personal relationship has always been very good. It can be said that Ancelotti's ability to secure the position of Milan coach is absolutely inseparable from Maldini's support.

Maldini has been playing for Milan's first team since he was 16 years old, and it has been nearly 20 years now. In the team, not to mention Ancelotti, even the members of the club's management are facing Maldini. When it comes to Tiny, be polite.

Maldini seldom comes to Ancelotti's office. Normally, if there are any internal issues, Maldini will solve them all in private, but today is not possible. What is damaged is the interests of the team, which Maldini absolutely does not want to see.

Ancelotti looked at Maldini, stood up and made a cup of coffee for Maldini, and said, "You can talk now, Paul! What problems do you think the team has now?"

Maldini originally didn't want to come, but yesterday he received a call from Albertini, which made him make up his mind and come to Ancelotti.

What is the problem with the team now?

Anyone with eyes can see clearly. Digan is the root of this problem. Maldini was also very dissatisfied with Digan before, but what Albertini said yesterday made him change his mind.

"Paul! Help Rhodes! He is the hope of Milan's revival and the most precious asset in Milan's future. As for the problems that exist now, Paul! Rhodes is just a child. Impulsive, but please believe me, Paul! Rhodes is a good person, and I guarantee with my personality that he is not the kind of person who specifically causes trouble and destroys the unity of the team."

After listening to Albertini's words, Maldini also thought about it carefully, and he found that it might not really be Digan's responsibility that caused today's situation.

As soon as Degan came to the team, he was squeezed out by his teammates. Even the good-tempered people couldn't stand it, but Degan was not affected. This strength alone is enough to be admired.

As for the conflict with Ancelotti, Maldini feels that it is not just about playing time and position in the team, maybe there is something behind it.

"Carol! I think you can give him more trust in using Digan!"

Ancelotti didn't expect Maldini to speak for Digan, which made his heart sink. He knew very well that Maldini's position in the AC Milan team was almost unshakable, even Barcelona Lacey can't even compare.

"Paul! Do you think I'm deliberately suppressing him?"

Maldini really wanted to nod and say yes, but when the words came to his lips, he still held back. He didn't want to have conflicts with Ancelotti: "No! I just think Digan is in a good state recently, you can try to give it to him. He has some chances to prove himself! Instead of being treated coldly like this, Carlo! This will do no one any good!"

When Ancelotti heard this, he couldn't help but feel depressed. Giving Degan a chance, he never thought about such a thing. Ever since Degan was in the United States, in front of so many fans and reporters, he pointed at his nose and shouted loudly. After scolding, the relationship between the two has become incompatible.

Give Deegan a chance, unless he's crazy.

"Paul! I admit that because of the previous incident, I was very dissatisfied with Degan, but I didn't give him the chance to start the game. The role played in the team can be fixed, which will also help him get more opportunities, but he refused. He feels that he is omnipotent and should be the protagonist on the court. This is something I absolutely cannot promise, you know Yes, Paul! In AC Milan, no one is indispensable, everyone must obey the tactical arrangement, so the answer he gave me is very disappointing, I don't know how to use him now, or in my Among the tactics, I don't know how to arrange his position. If he only plays for the sake of playing, it will only destroy the team's overall tactics, which is not good for AC Milan!"

Listening to Ancelotti's specious words, Maldini knew that this was not Ancelotti's real thoughts at all. He knew this old friend too well. Although he worked very seriously and was very capable, his The measure is simply too small.

At the beginning, Albertini snatched Ancelotti's main position in Milan. As a result, when Ancelotti came to power, Albertini, the metronome of Milan's midfield, had no choice but to leave for Spain as the vice-captain.

The attitude towards Digan is the same now. Maldini believes that even if Digan kneels in front of Ancelotti at this moment, Ancelotti will not change his mind and forgive Digan.

Maldini couldn't argue with Ancelotti, so he could only shake his head and choose to leave. This kind of meaningless internal friction is not what he wants to see, but he has no way to stop it. He has to solve this matter , There is only one way, Ancelotti, or Degan, one of them leaves Milan.

However, for a player, driving away the head coach and destroying the team's tactics that have been formed with great difficulty for so many years and are becoming more and more mature is obviously too expensive.

As for Degan, although his scoring ability is extremely terrifying, AC Milan does not lack good players. As a giant, there are countless young talents in this world who dream of playing for Milan one day.

So in this meaningless battle, even in the end, Digan can only be sacrificed.

Although Maldini felt it was a pity, he could only choose to side with Ancelotti in this matter. As Ancelotti said, what the current Milan team needs is stability.

Maldini also chose to be silent, and Degan's situation in Milan became more dangerous. Degan was still insisting on his pride, but he did not expect that he was getting farther and farther away from Milan.

On September 14th, the group stage of the 2005/2006 UEFA Champions League kicked off. AC Milan will face Fenerbahce, the first opponent in the group stage at home in San Siro, while Schalke will be playing another game at the same time. 04 vs. Eindhoven at home.

During the pre-match training, the routine was the same as before. Every time Degan took the ball, there would be overwhelming boos in the stands. When the ball left Degan's feet, the boos would stop abruptly. The sound was obviously prepared for Digan.

Even Fenerbahce, who was playing in the away game, was amazed when they saw this scene. They obviously didn't expect a Milan player to be so hated by the fans of the home team.

Especially Anelka, his reputation in the football world can basically be said to be a stinky street. When anyone mentions him, he can't help but frown, but now he has found someone with a worse reputation than him Humans are not only disliked by enemies, but also hated by their own people, which is absolutely weird.

"That guy is the Brazilian who scored more than fifty goals last season?"

Anelka's striker partner, Tunchai said with a smile: "Yes, it is him, but he is now the public enemy of Milan! I really don't know why he came to Milan, isn't it good in Atlanta? He deserves to come here and suffer!"

Hearing this, Anelka actually showed a rare smile. It wasn't gloating, he just thought this person was really interesting. He thought he was lonely enough, but he didn't expect that in a giant team like AC Milan, he would survive. With such an interesting person.

"I really want to compete with him!"

Tunchay said: "Niklas! I think you have no chance. That guy offended all Milan fans because he insulted Van Basten and called the fans football hooligans, and he was not the main player in this game. Without such an opponent, I think our chance has come!"

No opponent would choose to ignore Degan's terrifying lethality. Fortunately, Ancelotti abandoned his martial arts and threw Degan on the bench. The pressure on Fenerbahçe's defense was at least minimal. too much.
