Chapter 171: The Milan Report

Italy, Milanello base.

45-year-old Carroll? Carlo Ancelotti had just finished reading this morning's edition of Milan Sport in his office, and it took him half an hour longer than usual. First read the first edition of the Milan duo and Juventus news, and then he read the entire fourth page thoroughly.

Usually, because of the time, he rarely sees the fourth page, and the news of the English league on the fourth page has nothing to do with the Italian league.

Today's fourth page is almost entirely occupied by Manchester United, leaving only a small corner for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger. And most of the news about Manchester United is about a player named 'Dong Fangzhuo'.

“fanzhuodong。” Ancelotti half-reclined in his chair and whispered Dong's name.

Since the draw for the knockout round of the Champions League ended in December last year, he has heard Dong Fangzhuo's name from time to time. Because AC Milan is about to meet Manchester United in the Champions League final, so every Monday he will listen to a briefing about Manchester United, Dong Fangzhuo's name is the most frequent in the report, and it is emphasized, his name appears as many times as Rooney and Ronaldo, but it is Ruud van Nistelrooy who he pays the most attention to, actually less than any of the three of them......

What a strange thing, Ancelotti smiled faintly and moved his somewhat bloated body.

He couldn't figure out how Fanny, a world-class goalscorer on the same level as Henry and an inseparable fight, could be defeated by Dong Fangzhuo and pressed to the bench alive.

Van Nistelrooy, Lord is a tyrannical creature. Although he does not envy Ferguson for having a world-class Ruud van Nistelrooy, he still feels sorry for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

When it comes to world-class strikers, Carlo Ancelotti doesn't envy any club's manager. Because he has Crespo, Shevchenko and Inzaghi in his hands, all three strikers are world-class and have their own characteristics.

Crespo can pass and shoot, Shevchenko can pass and shoot, and Inzaghi takes his shooting skills to the extreme.

But he now has to re-weigh Dong Fangzhuo, and while discussing these great forwards, he can't ignore Dong Fangzhuo. Although it may seem ridiculous, a guy who can penetrate the goals of Liverpool, Chelsea and even Arsenal in succession is definitely not easy.

Thinking of this, he casually picked up the Manchester United report given to him by the coaching staff this week.

The first is a report from the coaching staff on the latest form of Manchester United -

Manchester United have won 13 and drawn three of their last 16 matches, without losing a single match. The team's form is recovering rapidly, and it has become very consistent compared to the start of the season.

Playing a very important role in this is Dong Fangzhuo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, who make up the front trident of Manchester United's team and have been the key to United's recent success.

Youngsters lead United's attack, but it is impossible to ignore the role played by the older players, particularly Keane, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, who are just as good on the pitch as the youngsters.

And Manchester United also have a more reassuring defence.

However, Manchester United's current instability is still in the forward line, and their main scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy has been replaced by Dong Fangzhuo, and he has not been able to get consistent playing time.

Dong Fangzhuo, who seems to have very ordinary skills, seems to be gradually becoming the core of Manchester United's attack, and Ferguson intends to tailor a 433 attack formation for him.

This seemingly inconspicuous player actually has very distinctive characteristics, he is extremely diligent and hardworking, he runs quite aggressively in the game, his movement is very erratic, and he is very good at grabbing points in the game and seizing opportunities to score. And he also has the speed of the wind and a strong body, and is scheming, with a big heart......

Anyway, the report is followed by a series of various observations and suggestions for Dong Fangzhuo.

Am I not mistaken?

Ancelotti was even a little suspicious of his eyes, if he hadn't seen that the signatures were all the names of coaches he was familiar with, he would have thought that the report was written by Ruud van Nistelrooy, not Dong Fangzhuo.

An enhanced version of Inzaghi?

No, a weakened version of Crespo?

Ancelotti couldn't find such a template......

Perhaps, he is just a very ordinary player.

According to the meaning of the coaching staff, Ferguson is likely to start Dong Fangzhuo in the future game of Manchester United VSAC Milan?

It's not that hard to keep an eye on such a player. In the AC Milan team, you can find three or four people to deal with Dong Fangzhuo.

The premise is that the player must be focused enough during the game.

Cafu, Nesta? , Stam, Maldini, Simic, Karadze? , Costacuta, Serginho......

Whether it's a centre-back or a wing-back, there shouldn't be a problem dealing with young Manchester United strikers, albeit a bit older.

Why Liverpool and Arsenal gave him a chance is not how good Dong Fangzhuo is, but because he can't see that the defender is actually not good......

And his ideal candidates must be Nesta and Stam. The toughest striker in the past two years is none other than Brazilian Adriano, who claims to be the only one in the world who can guard against Adriano. Ancelotti is 10,000 at ease for the two of them.

Hey, Stam, thanks to the sir, Galliani made another good deal......

Ancelotti smiled slyly, if the lord hadn't given up on renewing his contract with Stam, he wouldn't have been able to get Stam.

He shrugged his shoulders and turned his mind to the second report, which was the Juventus report. After the Champions League, they also have a battle against Juventus......

※※※※

At this time, Dong Fangzhuo was joking with Ronaldo in the Carrington base.

"Why did you get into the Champions League team of the best 11, are the UEFA judges stupid?"

"In the first half of the year, I was very awesome in the first half of the year!" Cristiano Ronaldo explained.

In the 2003-2004 Champions League, Ronaldo's performance in the Champions League was indeed remarkable, and in the 2004-2005 season, Ronaldo's performance declined, but his performance was okay.

"It's been a difficult year, our opponent is AC Milan."

"Is AC Milan strong?" Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't seem to know AC Milan well enough.

Dong Fangzhuo smiled, "You'll know if you've beaten it." ”

After thinking about it, he added: "When the time comes, you are on the left and right, facing Maldini and Cafu, do you think you have a way to break through them?"

"I'm going to make them worse than dead, I'm going to drag them down with speed, they're too old to run."

Ronaldo is full of confidence and is not afraid of Maldini and Cafu at all.

This year, the three strongest teams in Europe should be AC Milan, Chelsea and Barcelona......

Dong Fangzhuo calculated the time, and soon, Manchester United and AC Milan will meet in the Champions League, after playing the Manchester derby away.
