Golden Greenery

‘Beep——’ Only 6 minutes into the game, Peach Gilardino was knocked down by the opponent’s defender Juhatz in the penalty area, and AC Milan received a penalty kick.

In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Zhuo Yang and his teammates sat at San Siro to welcome Anderlecht of Belgium for a return visit. Because the other three teams are entangled with each other, AC Milan, which has won three consecutive victories, has almost determined a qualifying spot in the group. Unlike the ups and downs in Serie A, AC Milan is obviously smooth sailing in this season's Champions League.

The top spot in the group must be fought for. Entering the knockout rounds can avoid other powerful giants, and there is also a schedule advantage of visiting first and then home, so AC Milan is not careless and it is the right thing to do to get good things done as soon as possible. Ancelotti sent out a mixed lineup for this campaign, with Zhuoyang and Guitaozi partnering up front, Brocchi and Gourcuff as defensive midfielders. What is very surprising is that Brazilian 'parallel import' Oliveira appeared in the attacking midfielder position and Kaka partner.

This move was a forced attempt by Ancelotti. Oliveira was the one he advocated to buy, and it was not cheap. If he couldn't train Oliveira, he would have even less control over transfer issues in the future. The right to speak. As a Brazilian, Oliveira still has some footwork, allowing him to avoid the complicated blockade of the Italian defense and retreat a little to see if he can bypass the situation.

However, Ancelotti received a blow when it came to the arrangement of central defenders. During the pre-match warm-up, Kaladze, who was originally starting the game, accidentally strained his hip muscle. AC Milan had to urgently change the starting lineup. The 31-year-old Croatian Simic became Maldini's partner.

Bonera received a red card in the last round of the game and is suspended for this game. He was injured in the Nesta derby and his return date is far away. Today Kaladze also suffered a disaster. The position of AC Milan's central defender has become a disaster area.

In the new season, the team's center backs are originally dominated by Nesta and Kaladze. Maldini wanders between the left back and center back. As he is older, he cannot always be counted on to take the lead. Bonera is a reserve that should be used with caution. As for Costacurta, it is purely put there for peace of mind.

Simic is not in the normal sequence of AC Milan center backs. Although he was born as a center back and was very good when he was young, his wasted years at Inter Milan ruined all his aura as a center back. After coming to AC Milan, Simic was transformed into a right back, and he is a very qualified right back. Due to frequent injuries, he has hardly played in the past two years, otherwise he would not have lost so easily in the position competition. Kafu.

Therefore, there is really nothing we can do about Simic playing as a central defender today.

However, the gap between Anderlecht and AC Milan is quite big. They lost 0:3 at home. They are lambs to be slaughtered when they come to San Siro, so the hidden dangers at center back are not a big problem.

After the opening, Oliveira was active. First, he headed Zhuo Yang's pass forward, and then shot Kaká's high-quality pass over the crossbar from the left, living up to his "parallel import" reputation. title.

but,

In the 6th minute, Oliveira shined. After cooperating with Brocchi and Kaka, Oliveira made an imaginative anti-offside pass to Gilardino. It was so exquisite that Ancelotti's eyes lit up on the court.

Ji Taozi caught the ball with a single shot, and Juhaci stretched out his legs to intercept him and directly knocked him down in the penalty area. If he had a gun in his hand, Gilardino would have jumped Juhaci on the spot.

Ten days ago, the Milan derby finally came to fruition. Ji Taozi was looking forward to being able to blossom in the Champions League today. He had never scored a goal in the Champions League in his life. In the past, he was not eligible to play in the Champions League at Parma. After coming to AC Milan, he failed to win the Champions League last season.

Such a good single-handed ball, seeing his dream come true, and his golden career, but being ruined by such an unknown person, Gilardino's teeth were itching. I wanted to tell him that I would take the penalty kick, but who should I tell him? Captain Maldini? Don't even think about it. The Cavaliers are the ones who value rules the most. No one can think of disregarding the interests of the team for personal gain in front of him.

Then go tell Kaka and Zhuo Yang? They are currently the talkmakers on the team's offensive line. But Gilardino didn't have the courage. He knew that the two of them didn't look at him seriously now.

"Zhuoyang, then I'm here?" Kaka twisted his neck and laughed.

"How come I didn't notice you talking so much nonsense before?"

Kaka is the number one penalty kicker in the AC Milan team, and he has never missed a penalty in the previous seven times. Of course Zhuo Yang will not steal this job, not to mention that the relationship is so good. Kaka is not idle. Zhuo Yang has not scored a goal in the Champions League this season. If he wants to take this penalty kick, Kaka will be very happy to give him the ball.

Ji Taozi is undoubtedly right about one thing. Kaka and Zhuoyang didn't feel that the penalty kick had anything to do with Gilardino.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti doesn't care whether the penalty kick is taken by Kaká or Zhuo Yang. Anyway, judging from the data, both of them will basically not miss. An Pang was more concerned about Oliveira's magical pass just now, which was exactly the reason why he asked the Brazilian water forward to play as an attacking midfielder.

However, this scene was Oliveira's only presence in the game, and the game had nothing to do with him since then.

Kaka angrily pushed down the right, AC Milan 1:0, taking an early lead made the game easier. Even if the two masters Sui Pi and Jia Ba did not play, the midfield and frontcourt led by Zhuoyang and Kaka were enough to face each other at San Siro. Anderlecht formed a crushing victory.

In the 20th minute, Kaka received a pass from Gourcuff on the right sideline behind the center line. He suddenly pulled the ball and turned around in one go, avoiding Deschacht's attack. Then he aimed at the front of the penalty area and ran like a meteor. When they were approaching the top of the arc, Van der Haag and Fan Boley stepped forward to attack from a flank. Don't worry, Zhuoyang was already in place.

Zhuoyang followed the ball and twisted his body to go down. A wave of defenses rushed towards him again, and he made an inverted triangle pass from the baseline. Kaka was calm and composed 13 meters away from the goal. After receiving the ball, he even had enough time to let him go first. Put on a cool pose and shoot.

Of course Kaka is not so nonsense, he is not Zhuo Yang. His right foot shot Gu Yue Rushuang, and Anderlecht goalkeeper Zeka was the Hun Chanyu waiting to be killed.

This goal fully embodies the tactical characteristics of AC Milan. The previous series of seemingly careless midfield kicks made the opponent dizzy. A sudden counterattack broke out, and it only took 7 seconds from Kaka turning to enter the first half to scoring. He and Zhuo Yang were the only ones to destroy all defenses. Although Pirlo, the world's number one metronome, is not on the court, AC Milan's control of the rhythm is still unparalleled.

Kaka scored twice, and the score of 2:0 made the game easier. However, this ease comes from the midfield and the frontcourt. AC Milan's back line is not easy at all. It's not that the opponents put much pressure on them, but that the center back seems to be a cursed spot.

While everyone was celebrating, Simic grinned and sucked in the cold air. He sprained his shoulder joint in the not-intense defense.
