Chapter 379: Milan's defense problem!
In his press conference, Carlo Ancelotti admitted that the game was his own mistake and that Thuram should have been replaced earlier. He added: "Spalletti is a very smart coach who figured out before the game how I would arrange the game. That's the main reason for this draw. ”
'Congratulations to Roma for a smart game.
A reporter asked: "Will this game affect the Champions League in three days' time?" ”
Carlo Ancelotti shook his head and said: "No, we have been preparing for this game for a long time. ”
A reporter asked: "Will Thuram start in the Bayern game?" ”
Ancelotti said: "It was three days later. ”
A reporter asked: "Milan has finally stopped their winning streak, what do you think about this?" ”
Carlo Ancelotti said: "Nobody can win a season, even if God plays, he can't win a season. So I'm going to accept this draw calmly. ”
A reporter asked: "If Inter beat Parma in Meazza tonight, they will be back at the top of the table, will this affect the morale of Milan?" ”
Carlo Ancelotti smiled and said: "That's fine, the role we've been playing this season has been to be a chaser. We are not afraid of falling behind in points, and falling behind in points will only inspire us to be more motivated. ”
"This draw is not a bad thing, at least it can bring my players back to their senses, there are no weak teams in Serie A, we can't make any mistakes in future games. The season is not over and our goals have never changed. ”
Then, Spalletti came on. He was treated like a hero by the journalists. Roma became the terminator of Milan's winning streak, a dream for almost every Serie A team, yet only Spalletti did it.
'Today we played a great game and we managed to end Milan's winning streak. I thank the players for everything they put in on the pitch and I thank them for always playing the way I started. ”
Spalletti said happily.
A reporter asked: "The first half of Roma is like two teams, is this deliberately arranged by you?" ”
Spalletti nodded and said: "In the past few days, I have been carefully studying Ancelotti's employment arrangement, and I have formulated a targeted arrangement for this. Yes, the horror trio is insolvable, and fighting them is a dead end. Don is incomprehensible. So until after he came off the pitch. That's why I let the players go on a rampage against Milan. ”
A reporter asked: "Roma, like Milan, will have the Champions League in three days." In this game, you send all the main forces to face Milan, some say. Your behavior is irrational. Others said. You're giving up the Champions League. on this. What do you think? ”
Spalletti said contemptuously: "Give up the Champions League? I just don't want to face Manchester United with a heavy defeat, it's as simple as that. ”
……
That night, Inter won 2-0 at home to Parma. They overtook Milan by one point and regained their position at the top of the standings. Milan was not surprised by the result.
The absence of accidents does not mean that there is no impact on them, and Milan's morale is low.
The next day, a number of media outlets commented on yesterday's game. Milan's victory has not been news this season, with Roma's draw at home to make headlines. In their opinion, the end of Milan's winning streak is the biggest news.
Torino Sports newspaper used this headline: Milan finally did not win!
The headline of the Milan sports newspaper read: Roma become the terminator of Milan's winning streak!
They praised Spalletti at length, believing that he was Lippi's successor and confirmed the top spot as a young coach, and some media even revealed that Moratti intends to replace Mancini at the end of the season.
The British Guardian believes that the biggest beneficiaries of this game are undoubtedly Manchester United and Bayern Munich. The end of Milan's winning streak will inevitably affect morale. While Roma's main players played almost the whole game, Manchester United will have a physical advantage.
This sentiment was echoed by the newspaper Sport, saying: "A draw, at any other time, is probably the usual thing. But this game will be a big blow to Milan's defenders, will they be able to withstand Bayern's attack at the San Siro? ”
"Milan have dominated Serie A this season, not because the defense is strong, but because the horror trio is too strong. The Milan backline has made mistakes in the game many times, but such a hidden danger has not been taken seriously by Ancelotti under the aura of Milan's winning streak. Now Carlo Ancelotti has to think about tackling the problem at the back. ”
'As for Roma, they played smartly in yesterday's game. Hopefully, Spalletti will continue to use his mind to command his team in the game against Manchester United to make up for the fitness problems. ”
Spalletti managed to capitalize on this game and become a household name. Thuram was the focus of media criticism, with Marca believing that he had ruined Milan's good fortunes, and they even quoted Carlo Ancelotti as saying at his press conference that "I should have replaced Thuram sooner." Thuram was mocked as a way to mock him.
The report said: "Thuram managed to fend off a threat from high in the first half, but in the second half Spalletti took advantage of his slow footwork to find a break from him and equalise and end Milan's winning streak. ”
The Paris Journal even described Thuram as a "sinner" and warned Domenech that Thuram should be used carefully and that it would be better to exclus him from the national team.
For a time, Thuram was on the cusp.
In the locker room, if it weren't for Tang Jue coming forward, Thuram would have been reprimanded by Gattuso long ago. But Don could not stop the media from denouncing. Thuram was very depressed, and in the phone call with Tang Jue, he expressed his intention to withdraw from the French team.
Thuram had already conceived the idea of withdrawing from the French team after the World Cup in Germany, and at that time Tang Jue repeatedly retained him, believing that the French team still needed him. Thuram eventually chose to stay, believing that he should help Tang Jue, who has a strong opponent in the French team, Patrick Vieira.
Now that Vieira has left the French team, Thuram believes his mission is over. It's time to say goodbye.
Of course, the main thing is that he doesn't want to be the sinner of the French team.
Tang Jue knew the reason for Thuram's low mood, and he persuaded: "I know that you are very sad, and you don't want to listen to anything now. I can responsibly tell you that I have a way to get you back. I won't be able to get back to my peak, but it's better than it is now. ”
"You have to play at least the European Championship before you leave France. At that time, I will not keep you. ”
Thuram didn't believe that Tang Jue had this ability, he only heard that Tang Jue's medicine could help players shorten the recovery time of injuries, as for other aspects. He had never heard of it.
Tang Jue said: "Don't make the last decision. After taking the pills, try it, and if you don't feel like you're getting better, I won't stop you anymore. ”
Thuram finally agreed. Decided to give it a try.
……
The first leg of the quarter-final between Milan and Bayern Munich is about to begin. The major media outlets make full use of their personal connections. Interview the views of both teams on the game.
Podolski, who became famous at the World Cup last year, said: "It's my regret that I didn't play against Don at the World Cup. We're going to have a great game at the San Siro. ”
Schweinsteiger said: "We know Milan's weaknesses and we will exploit them. Rome is an example for us. ”
Ronnie said-for-tat: "Weakness, we do have weaknesses, we have never denied it. However, no one can limit us to score goals and Bayern are not our opponents. Last year we won, and this year we will win as well. ”
Tang Jue said: "A draw, many people think that we are no longer good. But I want to tell you that we have always been strong and no one can stop us from winning the Champions League. ”
"Now I'm ready to slaughter Bayern!"
As soon as Tang Jue said this, Bayern's fans quit, and they said that even if they couldn't stop Milan from scoring at the San Siro, at least they couldn't let Tang Jue score. This doesn't take Bayern seriously at all.
A reporter interviewed Tang Jue on this issue, and Tang Jue said: "Now no one can stop me from scoring, if I want to score, I can score!" ”
Tang Jue used domineering to fight back against Bayern fans. Pity Rome, so that Tang Jue's heart is not so comfortable. Milan have been playing in high tension so far this season that the Serie A points gap is so great that the players have to brace their spirits and play against every opponent.
A draw left Milan's morale a little low, and he knew there had to be a win to boost morale.
Apparently, Ancelotti thought the same thing.
"We're going to give the fans a win at the San Siro!" Speaking to the media, Carlo Ancelotti said: "No one can stand in the way of Milan's victory. We at the San Siro won't give Bayern any chances. ”
Compared to Carlo Ancelotti, Magath is very low-key: "For the upcoming games, I want to score away goals at the San Siro first, and then I think about anything else. Of course I don't mind getting a draw at San Siro. ”
'As for the horror trio, we'll try to keep them from scoring fewer goals. Nobody at the San Siro can stop them from scoring and my goal is to make them score less. ”
The German newspaper Bild analysed what the coaches and players of both teams had said: Bayern's two youngsters said they were going to play a great game at the San Siro, and their words were not as strong as Ronnie and Don. Why are Ronnie and Don so strong? Don don't talk about it, he has always been strong.
Then Ronnie's strength is a little surprising. Of course, if you link it to the game against Roma, you should understand that Milan's morale is really low at the moment. Milan had just topped the points, and after one round, Inter regained the top spot in the table. Ronnie wants to use his strength to arouse the morale of Milan.
Ancelotti's strength is also based on this reason. Magath is more pragmatic in comparison, hoping to get an away goal at the San Siro. We believe that the pragmatic Magath will surprise Bayern fans.
We hope Bayern can repeat the success of knocking out Real Madrid!
The newspaper Sport also believes that Milan's morale is low, and they have analyzed the atmosphere of Milan's training in recent days. Milan was a little less relaxed in training and added a bit of poise.
Milan Sports believes that in the match between Milan and Bayern, Milan's biggest problem is still the backline. The two wings were not tested in the match against Roma, who attacked in the middle in the second half. Their biggest concern is Milan's defense in the middle, with both Thuram and Maldini having a slow pace of movement. Once you have a striker who moves quickly, you have to rely on Nesta.
However, Milan Sport believes that Milan will have no problem beating Bayern at the San Siro, the key question is how many problems will be at the back, and Bayern will score a few away goals. (To be continued......)
