Chapter 653 The Powerful But Old Milan
"Hey, Kaka, I heard that before you came to Notts County, you almost went to AC Milan?" In the hotel gym, several players were chatting with each other, and suddenly Drogba asked Kaka.
Kaka was taken aback, not understanding why Drogba asked such a question, but he replied truthfully: "Yes, according to my agent, AC Milan was indeed interested in AC Milan, but in the end it seems that the boss stepped in in advance and directly negotiated with Sao Paulo Club. A deal was done and I'm in Nottsshire!"
Several teammates sighed, sometimes it is really good luck, especially in world football, most people don't know which club they will appear in next season, and often the players themselves cannot make decisions.
"It seems that AC Milan still wanted to buy Wesley last summer, but in the end Wesley went to Inter Milan. Although I know that the boss has a good relationship with the old man of Inter Milan, there should be something wrong with it. A secret that everyone knows!" Ribery also interjected from the side.
While pulling the barbell, Villa said indifferently: "It's actually very simple. AC Milan has always been petty in negotiating transfers. The conditions given are really a bit ridiculous. Kaka's transfer is like this. Wes The same is true of Li’s transfer, the boss told me that AC Milan still wanted to buy me, but that offer was like an insult to me, let the boss just throw it into the shredder!”
Several teammates suddenly realized that this is the truth!
Although all kinds of transfer rumors are flying in every transfer window, the players themselves don't pay much attention to these matters. Unless it is related to their own interests, how about having time to enjoy life? Anyway, the dust will settle in the end .
"You said, the person responsible for the transfer of AC Milan is called Galliani. If he sees your performance in this game is very exciting, and he is the direct contributor to our victory over AC Milan, will Galliani be upset? Do you regret it?" Drogba said with a wicked look on his face.
Several teammates also laughed mischievously, as if they had seen the tangled face under the bald head, the tangles and wrinkles were entangled together, and they couldn't tell the difference.
In Loew's room, he was discussing the tactical layout of the game with several assistant coaches. Although he already had a draft, he still needed to improve it.
AC Milan's lineup is gorgeous, and each of the main players is a well-known general. In terms of popularity, Notts County can't match it, and it can even be compared with Real Madrid. This is more the accumulation of time.
Standing in front of the goal is Brazilian national goalkeeper Dida. He is tall, has a long wingspan, and has excellent goal-line skills. He is the main goalkeeper of the five-star Brazil team. .
Although the limited range of activities is his technical shortcoming, for AC Milan, this is not a big problem. After all, they are not a team that plays pass control in the frontcourt. suitable.
Milan's defense line should be the world's first line of defense now. Right back Cafu was definitely the world's number one right back at his peak. He ruled the entire wing by himself, while left back Maldini is the spirit of AC Milan's team A leader, a great player who dedicated his life to Milan. The central defender partner is the world's number one central defender Nesta and the Dutch super central defender Stam, which makes any striker feel weak when he hears it.
The midfielder is equally gorgeous. Pirlo, who has been transformed into a defensive midfielder, has gradually moved towards a master-level organizational midfielder. The limelight does not belong to the two organizational midfielders of Notts County. Tuso, the midfield meat grinder protection, coupled with Seedorf, an offensive and defensive titan, Rui Costa does not need to be distracted from the organization and defense at the midfielder position, and only needs to contribute the last pass. The ball will do.
The three forwards on the front line compete for the main position, and Shevchenko is almost the main force, while Crespo and Inzaghi compete for another starting position. This risk combination is still the top in the world.
On the bench, there are also several outstanding players. The goalkeeper Abbiati is the main goalkeeper of AC Milan. Although he is a bit unreliable, he still has strength; There are Ambrosini and Thomason in the midfield. Although the thickness of the lineup cannot be compared with Notts County, but now, it seems meaningless to say that the lineup is thick. After all, it is a decisive victory, not as much as the substitutes. space.
AC Milan emphasizes the whole, and Ancelotti's tactical style of play is also different from traditional Italian football. At least for this period, AC Milan is more focused on passing and controlling skills. The Christmas tree formation with a sense of accomplishment has not yet appeared in world football.
The overall style of play combined with the top-level player configuration can definitely shock the world. Otherwise, in the previous life, how could AC Milan crush Liverpool in the first half? If it wasn't for Benitez's Liverpool God is possessed, I am afraid that AC Milan will be able to reach the top as they wish!
However, no matter how strong a team is, there are still weaknesses, and AC Milan's weakness is actually somewhat similar to that of Real Madrid, that is, the starting players are too old.
Not to mention the goalkeeper, the youngest of the four defensive players is 29-year-old Nesta, 33-year-old Stam, 37-year-old Maldini, and 35-year-old Cafu. They are definitely the oldest players in world football. line of defense.
The midfielders are all slightly better, only the midfielder Rui Costa is 33 years old, and the remaining three players are all under 30 years old. As for the forwards, Inzaghi is 32 years old, Shevchenko is 29 years old, and Crespo is 30 years old. Years old, another striker with an average age over 30.
Calculating the average age, I am afraid that AC Milan is the only giant in the world whose starting average age is over 30 years old. Even Real Madrid may not be able to reach this terrible figure!
Maybe every player is a top player, but in the face of age, dissatisfaction is always not enough. Even if experience can make up for it, how much effect can it have!
AC Milan's performance in the league this season is not outstanding. In the mid-term, they were far behind by Juventus and lost their hope of winning the title. In the later stage, they were overtaken by their city rivals Inter Milan and lost their qualifications to directly qualify for the Champions League. Had it not been for Ancelotti's team to stop the decline in time, I am afraid they would have been overwhelmed by the outstanding Udinese!
Is there no factor in the team's high age configuration?
And in this Champions League contest in the previous life, the powerful AC Milan scored three consecutive goals against Liverpool in the first half, but was defeated by Liverpool three times in a row in the second half. Such a miraculous thing can happen, I am afraid it may not be just because of Liverpool's mental attributes. Among them A large part of the reason should be attributed to AC Milan's overall physical problems!
