Chapter 93 The price that must be paid
The Mediterranean has entered winter, but for AC Milan, this is a troublesome autumn. The team is full of wounded soldiers and the external environment is in panic. In the Serie A, the leader Inter Milan has been left as many as 20 points, and the rankings are all lost.
Being in the ninth place, this made AC Milan very embarrassed.
There is definitely no need to think about the championship this season. The schedule has only been more than one-quarter. It is so big that Inter Milan is terriblely stable and remains unbeaten so far. But if you want to give up the league, then the qualification for the Champions League next season is qualified.
what to do?
Not to mention the championship, it seems very difficult to compete for the top four at the moment. The team's defense risks are too great. In previous years, all the mid-range teams have come in full force this year, which is quite troublesome. Teams like AC Milan are not qualified for the Champions League.
However, the bottom line of competitive performance is also the guarantee of the club's business strategy. After all, the Champions League is the best event in terms of commercial revenue and market impact.
But with the current team's dilemma, forcibly striving to the top four in the league, if not done well, it will affect the state of this season's Champions League. Compared with the difficulty in the league, AC Milan has been doing well in the Champions League, and now
The environment in the Champions League is relatively simple, and it is easier to exert strength and influence.
So, in this situation, it is really a dilemma for AC Milan.
As expected, in the 12th round of the away league with Empoli a few days later, AC Milan, who was embarrassed to the point of being unable to add to the number of players, lost 0:1 away. Nesta, Gattuso, Serginho, and Ambro
Sini, Karaze, Favali, Simici, Giladino, Oliveira, Borelo, Zhuoyang, absent for their own different reasons, Ancelotti can make a reasonable lineup
I've already seen a lot of skills.
The soldiers in the remnant formation are hard-working, but there are no weak teams in Serie A, not to mention that Empoli has remained unbeaten for five consecutive rounds, and only lost two goals in these five games. In the game, AC Milan's fossil-level defense line was once again
It was remarkable to appear together and play the whole game.
Inzagi and Kaka continued their last game of decline. The two continued to be in a difficult position with the goal post, while Pirlo was in a sluggish state and made continuous mistakes in the midfield. Maldini personally went to the frontcourt in the last five minutes, twice
The shots were quite threatening. But Empoli's forward and Milan's former Milan player Saudatti scored in the 66th minute of the second half, making all AC Milan's efforts so sad.
Two more days passed, and the team's minor injuries and illnesses began to gradually recover, which made Ancelotti much more affordable when arranging the fifth round of the Champions League group stage against Lille Lille at home. However, because AC Milan has already
It ensured that it was qualifying and was determined to be the first in the group. This game became a warm-up battle between many substitutes and injured people.
Zhuo Yang was also protected by Ancelotti because he was at the forefront. He sat on the bench in his coat and cheered. He was on the left and right with Kaka and Pirlo, which is worth 200 million yuan.
The bench.
Kaka is indeed tired. He has the most time to participate in the new season. Although the youthful young Master Ka did not show much fatigue, monitoring from the Milan laboratory showed that his physical function was not very far from the critical value.
Kaka is different from others. Nowadays, the two men are definitely unaffordable characters in Milan. Whether it is a Champions League outside the wall or a desperate survivor in the league, Milan cannot live without him.
Pirlo is not tired, but he has encountered the lowest state correction in recent years. Since 2004, Pirlo has entered the peak of his career. No matter how the record of AC Milan and Italian national teams is, it cannot be hidden.
The melodious melody of the world football chief metronome, and the slightness and weight of this slightness and weight reached its peak in the summer World Cup. The Italian national team can firmly hold the tactical rhythm in front of any opponent, and Pirlo makes great contributions.
It will decline after the peak of prosperity. After experiencing the splendor of summer and the psychological blow of the phone door, Pirlo has now been depressed or even sluggish. This is not unusual. Zhuo Yang sometimes saw Pirlo making inexplicable mistakes during training, and he thought to himself: Could it be
Mr. Pi has also encountered a bottleneck? Is he going to build a foundation and become an immortal?
However, after asking Pirlo indirectly, it was obvious that it was not the same as him back then, because Pirlo did not have that feeling of wall, he just couldn't get excited. The Milan laboratory also showed that Pirlo's adrenaline secretion was not strong, and his muscles and
The nerve reaction was slightly slow and the normal state was called back. At that time, Zhuo Yang's examination showed that everything was normal.
AC Milan has no desire for this game, but its opponent Lille still has to work hard for the prospect of qualifying for the Champions League. The three of them are like three turtles, biting each other and connecting them, and they still compete for the second place in the group.
