Chapter 1125 The most familiar stranger (3)
PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
Just as Vieri was talking and laughing with Shevchenko and others, at the same time, on the other side of the player channel, Albertini was also communicating with Maldini and Costakuta and other old comrades in AC Milan: "I'm so sorry, Demi (Albertini's nickname). Carlo (Ancelotti) is so stubborn. Billy and I couldn't let him give up our minds."
"You can't blame you. Last season, I felt that Ancelotti didn't like seeing my existence in the team." Albertini naturally accepted the apology from Martini and others. "When he asked Galliani to buy Baronho from Lazio, I already knew what he was planning... But these are nothing. If my departure can make the team's record better than last season, then I will feel at ease."
After hearing Albertini say this, the expressions of Maldini and Costacuta seem a little embarrassed. After all, the main reason for Albertini's departure is that Baronho had shown his ability to replace him last season. Otherwise, Ancelotti would not have convinced Galliani to let the opponent agree to send Albertini away, the main midfielder of the team in the past ten years.
During this period, Berlusconi no longer had the kind of willingness to spend a lot of money on the team when he first took AC Milan. He regarded his pocket as more than the team's achievements. After learning from Ancelotti and Galliani that Albertini had successors, he immediately decided to send the meritorious player away to reduce the financial burden of the club. In Lao Bei's opinion, he would not be stupid enough to be a high-paid substitute with an annual salary of up to 2.6 million US dollars after tax.
On this issue, Maldini and Costa Cuta were also persuaded by Ancelotti, so the two who had a certain say in the team's affairs did not publicly object to Albertini's transfer at that time. Albertini himself knew this. He knew that without these two locker room bosses nodding, even Berlusconi would not have sold any of them easily, let alone the head coach Ancelotti.
But as smart as him, he would naturally not be so stupid as to put such things on the surface. Because once this matter is made public, it will have a significant negative impact on AC Milan's reputation. For Albertini, who loves the Red and Black Legion extremely, he will never do such things that may cause damage to the Red and Black Legion.
So, in order to avoid the two sides continuing to be embarrassed, in the subsequent conversation, Albertini took the initiative to change the topic and did not continue to communicate with the two former teammates in any form about being forced to leave AC Milan.
At this time, Rossetti, the referee on duty in this game, came over, ending the chat between the players on both sides, and at the same time, the tension before the battle once again enveloped the players!
Soon, after a series of routine opening ceremonies, players on both sides stood in their respective halfs, waiting for Rossetti to blew the whistle to start the game!
Since Maldini won the coin guessing before the game, AC Milan got the right to kick off first. After the game started, they did not actively shrink their defense line and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, but chose to attack instead of defending. Under the command of Rui Costa and Sidorf, they took the initiative to attack the goal of Fiorentina!
The reason Ancelotti adopts such a style of play is because he has sufficient confidence in AC Milan's control ability in the midfield - in Ancelotti's view, Rui Costa and Sidov are both master-level midfielders. Their grasp of the rhythm of the game and the timing of the pass can be said to be perfect, and they can be compared with the midfield dual core composed of Pirlo and Albertini; plus a strong Baronho, AC Milan's staffing configuration in this game is even better than Fiorentina!
Faced with AC Milan's aggressive offensive momentum, Fiorentine players responded calmly. Under the command of Nesta and Marklele, the players set up defenses within 30 meters away from the goal, compressing the opponent's pass and activity space as much as possible, so as not to find out the loopholes in the defense line by Costa and Shevchenko, who are good at seizing fighter jets. At the same time, Dinatale and Vincent in the frontcourt also frequently retreated to participate in the defense, constantly entangling and interfering with Siddorf, Costa and Baronho, etc., to avoid the three technical midfielders forming direct connections on the court and posing a greater threat to Fiorentine's defense line!
For Fiorentine players, they are simply clear about the power of this kind of dual-core or even triple-core tactic. It is precisely because of this that they pay special attention to cutting off the connection between these organizational midfielders, rather than just like other opponents AC Milan encountered this season, they can only blindly shrink their defense line and let the Reds and Blacks control the entire midfield.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is quite difficult to actually operate. Because it has very high requirements for players' sense of position and predictive ability on the defensive end. If it does not meet a certain standard, it will increase the probability of being scored by the opponent.
"I didn't expect that after losing Pirlo, AC Milan could still tap into Baronho's potential." Seeing Baronho, who had every move on the court, and was quite like a general, Zhuang Mingge thought to himself, "From this point, Italian football in his previous life was not because of the lack of potential of the new generation of players, but because several top giants did not pay attention to training young players. In addition, clubs such as Rome and Parma were trapped in financial issues and performance pressure, and were unable to provide young players with enough training opportunities as before. This made it possible that after Nesta and Toti, a group of players withdrew from the national team, Italy quickly became a grassroots team with no star taste in the eyes of fans."
At this moment, the score on the field changed: Seedorf dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough from the clamping of Vincent and Pirlo. After attracting Albertini to grab it, he passed the ball to Rui Costa, who was unmarked on the other side of the field!
As a world-renowned top midfielder, Rui Costa certainly would not miss the opportunity created by his teammates. After getting the ball, he directly sent a straight pass to the ground. The ball passed by Stam, who was about to go forward to press, and came to Shevchenko who was in time to step forward and attacked her with one shot!
The next thing was very simple. The Ukrainian nuclear warhead, which formed a one-on-one force, successfully detonated in the penalty area of Florence. Although Buffon tried his best to save, he was unable to turn the sky back and could only watch the ball fly into the goal behind him.
