Zhuoyang still has some impressions of Scotland's Glasgow Rangers. In the 2005-06 season, his Madibao team eliminated their opponents 5:3 in two rounds in the Champions League 1/8 match. The win was not easy at all. Two years later, ac
Milan had another close encounter with Rangers in the UEFA Cup semi-finals of the 2007-08 season.
But compared with two years ago, the Rangers' lineup has completely changed, and the head coach has also changed from McLeish, who was fired due to the "Curse of Drew Young", to Walter Smith, the second-time coach.
In the early years, Coach Smith served as the deputy to McLean, Souness, Ferguson and others. Later, he was promoted from deputy to regular at Rangers. He coached Everton for three mediocre seasons and was replaced by Moyes. After that, he went to Scotland.
The team was not very good for two years. In January this year, he replaced Paul Le Guan who had a poor record and joined the Rangers again.
Mr. Le Guan has sorted it out, and Smith has cleaned it up again after taking office. Now only the captain of the Rangers team, Barry Ferguson, can still play against Zhu Yang.
AC Milan came to Glasgow with a relaxed mood. This year's UEFA Cup trip, especially after entering the knockout round, everyone got here calmly without much trouble. Rosenborg, Everton, and Eindhoven did not give any
The Milanese posed a substantial threat. Even Zhuo Yang felt that this was the smoothest of the three UEFA Cups he had participated in.
The 2003-04 season was the most valuable, and the Six Musketeers and Madibao faced strong opponents. The 2004-05 season was a bit worse, but there were still very difficult bones like CSKA Moscow. Maybe it was
Because AC Milan is much stronger than Madibo, this season's UEFA Cup journey is almost uneventful. Anyway, everyone feels that it is much easier to play than Serie A.
The relaxed mentality of the old and young men also comes from Serie A. Following the 3:3 draw with Juventus nine days ago, AC Milan won another big victory at San Siro five days ago. Kaká scored a hat trick and led Milan to a 6:1 victory over Serie A.
The opponent in the thirty-fourth round was Regina.
Zhuo Yang did not start that game. Kaká and Seedorf partnered as a double attacking midfielder behind Inzaghi. In the 5th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was tripped by Modesto. Zhuo Yang was not there, so he did it himself
The knife took a penalty kick and volleyed hard into the lower left corner where he was most accustomed. Reggina goalkeeper Campagnolo rushed to the right.
In the 30th minute, Seedorf was dragged down by Vigiani in the penalty area again, and Kaka took the penalty kick again. This time, Campagnolo pounced to the left, but Kaka hit the right, 2:
0.
Reggina got a goal back in the 40th minute. Paraguay midfielder Edgar Barreto stopped the ball with his chest 24 meters away from the goal on the left side of the penalty area and shot with his right foot into the far corner. Even though Karachi is so big, the defense
Long range shooting is his weakness.
Just five minutes into the second half, Brocchi made a pass from the right. Vijani made a header from the center of the penalty area and hit the far post. Kaka stopped the ball with his thigh 9 meters in front of the goal and pushed the ball into the far corner with his right foot. Young Master Hat
After the trick, Ancelotti also began to mobilize his troops. He replaced Seedorf, Kaká and Gattuso with Zhuoyang, Pato and Gourcuff within ten minutes.
In the 67th minute, Gourcuff broke into the ribs from the right and then crossed the ball. Zhuo Yang received the ball in the center of the penalty area and pushed the ball from an angle. The football hit the post and came out, which attracted lamentations from the audience, but Inzaghi took the lead.
A follow-up shot made San Siro instantly boil.
However, ten minutes later, 70,000 Roseneris finally arrived and the whole audience cheered.
In the 78th minute, Zhuoyang scored his 40th goal in Serie A this season with a diving header from outside the penalty area. Finally, there is a number starting with '4' on the Serie A historical scorer list.
Until the 89th minute, Zhuoyang assisted Pato in a counterattack and scored his seventh goal of the season. San Siro was still immersed in the atmosphere of celebration and did not calm down. The score settled at 6:1, another big victory.
More good news came after the game. Roma, who was temporarily in second place, tied with Livorno 1:1. They are now only 3 points ahead of AC Milan. Inter Milan, the top team, also tied with Turin 1:1, but
, fourth-place Juventus defeated Atlanta 4:0 in an away game and are still chasing AC Milan by one point.
‘Boom!’
Ambrosini and Rangers right midfielder Hemdani jumped up to fight for the ball, and their heads collided violently. This was not playing football, it clearly felt like self-harm. The two lay on the ground holding each other in their hands.
His head was groaning, and two stretchers came up from the sidelines and were carried down.
In fact, the 30-year-old Brahim Hemdani has also met Zhuo Yang. In the 2004 UEFA Cup final, he was the starting winger of Marseille. However, he was deeply impressed by Zhuo Yang, but Zhuo Yang did not play at all.
I don’t remember his opponent.
Before they could get back on the field, when Milan and Rangers were ten against ten, the goal came. Pirlo made a diagonal pass from the center, and Cafu took the ball from the right and made a fake move to get rid of Broadford before taking off with his left foot.
With the ball, Zhuoyang volleyed into the net at a small angle from the outside of the instep of his right foot 3 meters away from the goal. AC Milan was away at 1:0, Zhuoyang scored his 16th goal in this UEFA Cup.
After the goal, Ambrosini and Hemdani came back with their heads wrapped in bandages, like two funny Arab sheikhs.
Nowadays, Scottish football's hard long passes and lobs that once caused headaches for European teams have changed. The same is true for Glasgow. The football style is in a state of wavering. If you want to continue the hard bridge and hard horse of the past,
But there is no successor to his long passing accuracy measured in micrometers. He wants to learn more about the Premier League, but he has not yet developed this kind of court temperament. Even if he recruits many Southeast European players, he will not be able to fully integrate them for a while.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Glasgow Rangers were unable to gain an advantage in front of AC Milan. Since the "Night in Istanbul", Milan has been particularly experienced in playing English teams.
Even if Glasgow Rangers replaced their No. 10, Spanish right winger Nacho Novo, and No. 9 center Chris Boyd in the second half, they could not change the rhythm of the field.
In the 83rd minute, after Kaka and Favalli cooperated, they ran long-distance along the left wing without greed for success. Pirlo moved his left foot from the front of the penalty area to the middle of the penalty area. Brocchi successfully reversed offside and was 10 meters away from the goal.
Pushing the ball with his foot, although goalkeeper Alexander stretched his leg to touch the ball, he still could not prevent the football from entering the net. AC Milan 2-0.
In this way, the situation is set for the first round of the semi-finals.
The UEFA Cup match has always been a late match in European time. It was almost 10:30 at night when we had to finish the game. The AC Milan team stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow and waited until noon the next day to fly back to Milan.
As usual, Zhuo Yang was in the same room as Kaka. Originally, the two would brag and chat until late at night, but on this victorious night, Zhuo Yang had no intention of chatting. For some reason, he always felt uneasy, as if
As if something was going to happen.
He had no interest at all, but he was even more sleepless when he was lying on the bed. He opened his eyes wide and burned biscuits on the court. Kaka woke up several times because of his tossing.
Looking at the time, it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. It should be about eleven o'clock in the morning in China. Just as he was about to put down his phone, Zhuo Yang planned to try forcing himself to fall asleep, but the ring suddenly rang, and a long-lost number stored in the phone suddenly rang.
