In Carlo Ancelotti's office.

Tasotti gestured to what he was holding: "This is his training log. As you said, I made a record every day. Including the extra practice. ”

It's a thick notebook. It can be seen that there are years.

Ancelotti opened the notebook, and there was no need to look at the previous ones, which were recorded by Inzaghi, Kaka and others, and even Shepchenko's records of that year.

He flipped to where the seal had been folded and began to look.

"The training scheduled during the day, Jonker has done it all. Then he practiced again after training. The intensity of the training was not small, and to be honest I was very surprised by that. "It's hard to imagine that a player who hasn't trained systematically for more than a month can immediately adapt to high-intensity training, it's strange, he doesn't look strong, I don't know where so much strength comes from in his body?" ”

Carlo Ancelotti continued to look down at the training log. "I don't know." Maybe it's the power of dreams. I studied the story of this young man, this is a person with a hard character, such a person, either unsuccessful, or very successful. ”

Tasotti nodded, he agreed, not to mention that Jonk is now a very famous star, and he can also practice shooting by himself after completing training every day, which is quite difficult. Many young people get lost after becoming famous, forgetting their original dreams.

"He's okay with his body, right.?" Ancelotti asked.

"I've asked the team doctor and there's no problem, the muscle fatigue I was worried about is completely gone. There was no problem with training more after the holidays, I don't know how he trained at Chelsea. ”

Ancelotti glanced at the two training logs again: "He was in the pool to contact the shots? ”

Tasotti nodded: "Yes." When a football gets soaked in water, it can become heavy. It's hard to practice shooting like this, but if you stick to it for a long time, you can improve the strength of your legs, and the exercises that Junk does are a little different. ”

"What's the difference?" Ancelotti asked with interest.

"It's seawater. It's not fresh water in the pool, it's sea water, and the football is in the sea water. will become heavier. ”

Ancelotti heard Tassotti say this, he didn't speak, closed the training log, thinking about something.

Long. He looked up at Tassotti. "Maybe we really got a good player this time."

Tasotti smiled too, "I think so too. ”

AC Milan finished runners-up in the Champions League last season by three points, but after the summer scandal, the league started the season with a minus eight points, which means that the familiar AC Milan had to stay at the bottom of the table for a long time at the start of the season.

The media are saying that this season's Serie A will be Milan's world, but it is not AC Milan but the city's rival Inter Milan. The championship was won by the city's arch-rival Inter Milan, in fact, it is easy to draw this conclusion. AC Milan are already three games behind their opponents without making any mistakes, which is almost nine points behind.

Although AC Milan's senior management has been verbally emphasizing that the importance of the Champions League championship is undoubted, this season's shape has to make AC Milan put a lot of focus in the league, if the club wants to have a virtuous circle, the right to participate in the Champions League must be won in the league, and it is too elusive to count on the Champions League title.

With such a goal, Ancelotti and AC Milan put a lot of pressure on the whole team.

In fact, Carlo Ancelotti's biggest concern is the backline.

Of course, Nesta has been in good form since recovering from injury last season, and has re-proved his quality as the first central defender, and the training camp after the holiday can at least be reassuring, and Milan fans only need to pray to God to bless this shy man from injury.

What makes people feel bright is Kaladze, and Juventus's warm-up match, although Milan lost, however, this is not much responsibility with the backline, it is the overall slump of the team, but it is Kaladze who is eye-catching, sweeping away the slump and decline of last season, the robbery and tackle are decisive and clean, and the filling of teammates is also very timely, which makes people seem to see the shadow of the solid Kaladze in the 04/05 season.

Bonella's table is average, the main players of the central defenders should still be Nesta and Kaladze, this combination is the most stable, but it is also the most unsettling, because, the most important thing about this combination is Nesta's physical condition, no one knows when Nesta will be injured, once this ' The world's No. 1 central defender has an injury, so AC Milan's central defender position is really quite unreliable, Bonella and Simic on the bench are not enough to rely on, and captain Maldini is old, and the more important role for the team is on the mental level.

In the full-back position, Odd and Janku are certain, but the Czech is still recovering from injury, and against Juventus, Ancelotti chose to start the Brazilian veteran Serginho. It's a pity that the effect is disappointing, the long-term cultivation has worn away Serginho's sharpness, in this game, there are few brilliant places, but the mistakes are constant, the offensive passing is always wrong, and the defense often can't come back, the space behind him often becomes the breakthrough of the opponent's attack, such a fullback, when playing a weak team, it's okay, playing a strong team, especially a fast counterattack sharp team, it is dangerous.

Carlo Ancelotti is a nostalgic manager who wants to give Serginho a chance, and also hopes that he can find himself and become an important member of the red and black team again, but now most of the media think that it is not easy, and it is up to him to see how he has become.

Cafu on the right is not much better, and there are occasional good assists, but unfortunately it is still an old problem, he is getting older, and his body has declined, so he can't come back, and he often loses his position when defending. As for Janku and Odo, as long as the two are not injured, it is still reassuring, but when it comes to the two-line battle and need to rotate, fans can only hope that the second Brazilian old will not be a hidden danger.

This reassures Carlo Ancelotti that Milan are a multi-fronted team. If the bench thickness can't keep up, the more you get to the key places in the back, the more the team will suffer.

August 22nd. The weather was nice, and there was an inexplicable floral scent in the air. Jonk drove to Milanello and saw his car coming, and many reporters were ready to sprint with their guns.

Jonk was ready, and he expertly slowed down the car, stopping at the end and opening the window. I took a few questions from reporters. Serie A is about to begin, and the focus of the problem is naturally inseparable from the upcoming league game against Genoa.

'I'm looking forward to this game, it's my first Serie A game. Every first time always feels special. ”

"What are the wishes? Goals, of course. It must have been a wonderful feeling to score on our Serie A debut. ”

"The chemistry between me and my team-mates is getting better and better, and I'm starting to like Milan more and more and like the food. The environment here. Of course, what matters is football in Milan. ”

After briefly answering two questions, Jonk pressed the horn, which surprised the reporters, he laughed and squeezed his eyes with the reporters, saying sorry, but he walked out of the car door, because many fans crowded over. Ask him for an autograph, and Jonk can not bird the reporter. However, there is absolutely no score for the fans.

After signing the fans, Jonk got into the car again and drove through the gates.

"This bastard." Seeing him gone, a young reporter said indignantly.

"Why are you so excited?" One older reporter lit a cigarette and spat out a smoke ring, "He's not malicious." Kidding us, young man, you haven't met those guys who really embarrass you. ”

"I think he discriminates against us because of our profession, and you see how friendly he is to those fans." Someone said hatefully.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "It's coming!" ”

This shout caused chaos among the people, and the person who carried the microphone ran over there with the microphone.

"Who's coming?" The young reporter just asked.

"Stupid, who in Milan can cause such a stir?"

"Oooo

The noise and chaos at the gate of Milanello was caused by the arrival of one person, Kaka, who had been recovering from an injury in Brazil for many days, and the most popular star of AC Milan and even the entire European football scene returned today.

When Jonker parked the car and walked and chatted with Gattuso and Pirlo, who had already arrived, they walked to the locker room. They saw a car coming up, the windows rolled down, greeting them.

"Hi guys."

"Hey, Kaka, I'm back."

"Hello, Kaka."

"Hey, Kaka. How was the holiday? ”

Jonk also greeted Kaka with everyone, but there was no more communication, and he went back to the locker room to change his clothes first.

"Hello, Jonker, welcome to Milan." Kaka entered the locker room and greeted the crowd again, before he found Jonker, who was changing his jersey, and held out his hand to him.

Jonker put his jersey on, happily shook Kaka's hand, squeezed his eyes, and joked, "Hello, Kaka, this is the last welcome I've ever received since I came here." ”

"Haha, are you still used to it in Milan?" Kaka asked with concern.

"It's not bad, it's OK."

"Except for the house." Gattuso suddenly said, "Jonk's house hasn't been found yet, do you have anything to introduce?" ”

Kaka looked at Gattuso in surprise, meaning, you, a part-time real estate agent, didn't help Jonk find a house?

Gattuso smiled sheepishly, "I don't have a good house on hand lately. ”

Kaka nodded, "I'll go back and ask Caroline to help you keep an eye on it." ”

What else can Jonk say can only be thanks, he actually wants to say, too polite. I'll look for it myself slowly, I'm not in a hurry.

By the time Jonker and his teammates came out of the locker room and walked to the edge of the training ground, they were startled by the deafening cheers.

When they reacted, they realized that everyone was shouting a person's name.

"Kaka! Kaka! Kaka-"

"Welcome our Prince!!" There were a lot of fans outside the training ground, and there was a fan with a loud voice, shouting hoarsely.

"Welcome back, Kaka!!" The fans chanted.

"Kaka! Kaka! Kaka-! ”

"Kaka! The prince of Milan—"

It was only at this time that Jonker really felt Kaka's prestige among the Milan fans, which even made Jonk jealous. To be so prestigious and so popular among the fans, that's any player's dream.

But. Thinking of how popular he was when he was at Chelsea, Jonker was at ease, believing that as long as he performed well in the middle of the season, the fans would cheer for him after that goal, of course. What Jonker knows better is that Kaka stayed in Milan's difficult times, which is the biggest reason why fans love him so much.

Milan fans see Kaka as the team's new flag.

"We love you!! Kaka! "It's a crazy bunch of beautiful fans. They wore three-point clothes. A single subtitle is written on the chest of the plump with colorful paint. In order, it is exactly "We love Kaka".

Kaka smiled and waved at them. The girl's screams rang out.

"Wow, Kaka, you're still so popular."

"I'm going to be jealous."

Everyone teased Kaka, who actually blushed a little.

This time. Jonk suddenly said out loud in a serious manner. "It's not scientific."

"How?" Someone immediately asked. He thought something had happened.

"I'm more handsome than Kaka, why haven't we been treated like this by girls?" Jonk looked surprised. A sad and angry expression.

"Ahh

"Hahaha."

Everyone was amused by him. Even the captain Maldini held his stomach and laughed, and then he said seriously, "That's right, it's not scientific." ”

Kaka was also smiling, he had just returned to the team, it was his first day of training with Jonker, and his new teammate was a lot of fun. With such a kid, the locker room laughed more and seemed to be.

This time. Joan, who was 'forcibly' counted in by Jonk just now. Gurkuf said weakly, "It's you, why did you pull me in?" ”

"Don't you think you're handsome enough?" Jonk asked Gourcuff rhetorically.

"Of course not!" Gurkuf shook his head.

"Or do you think you're not up to it?" Jonk continued to ask.

"By no means." Gourcuff's head shook even more violently now, and even men would admit that they couldn't do it.

"What else is there to say?" Jonk shrugged, "Or do you think it's too dreamy to be as handsome as me and Kaka?" ”

"Nothing." Gurkuf was in a hurry. Looks like you're going to cry.

Everyone laughed and watched Jonk tease Gurkuf. In everyone's eyes, of course, Gourcuff's talent has not been said, but this kid is too shy, and can even be said to be a little timid, in Gattuso's words, Gourcuff has been in Milan for two seasons, and what he has said is not as much as that of Jonker for more than half a month. They said privately that if Gourcuff could be as confident and carefree as Jonker, he would have played a long time ago.

In the end, Maldini couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded Jonk with a smile, not allowing him to bully Gourcuff again.

Not far away, AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti watched the scene and an idea suddenly occurred to his head.

Kaka's return has become the focus of attention throughout the city of Milan.

The media is no longer chasing and reporting on Jonk, and now, Kaka is their darling.

At first, when the media paid attention to him, Jonk felt a little annoyed, but now, the media did not pay attention to him, and focused all his attention on Kaka, but Jonk was a little uncomfortable, to be exact, a little jealous.

The proud young man showed even more enthusiasm in training, and he knew that only by showing himself well on the pitch could he win the hearts of the fans.

And after arriving in Italy, his life seems to have become much simpler, without Abu's private club, and no familiar teammates to hang out about.

On this day, when Kaka was doing physical training under the guidance of Tasotti, Ancelotti came over, whispered a few words to Tasotti, stopped Kaka, and said, "What's wrong with feeling recovered?" ”

Ancelotti's biggest concern now is Kaka, now the team only has one striker available, in this case, Kaka's state is crucial, and, speaking of which, Ancelotti's Milan really has Kaka dependence symptoms, and although Ancelotti's performance in the previous training is good, however, the league is about to start, Ancelotti still has no bottom in his heart, he still habitually relies on Kaka.

Kaka replied: "It's okay, I think I'm perfectly fit to play against Lazio. ”

Ancelotti nodded noncommittally. Kaka said he was fine, but Ancelotti still had to ask the team doctor. For Carlo Ancelotti and Milan, Kaka is so important that the media once described Kaka as Milan's baby, and once this treasure is gone, no matter how magical Milan is, they will not be able to play football that satisfies the fans.

Kaka said he was fine, and Ancelotti was still a little worried, though. In training that afternoon, Kaka surprised Carlo Ancelotti as the Brazilian star did not fully recover. After returning to the team, the first team practice was still able to keep up with the rhythm of AC Milan, whether it was a 7-on-7 half-time pair, or the whole training session. Kaka's reactions, movements, and passes are all fine. And the most fascinating thing for the fans is Kaka's long-distance running with the ball also appeared in training, and I didn't see anything uncomfortable, the only problem was that Kaka and Jonk did not cooperate well, and the two made mistakes in passing and running several times in training.

However, as long as Kaka adapts to the rhythm of the team, Ancelotti will be much more relieved, and as for the cooperation between Kaka and Jonker, it is only a matter of time before Ancelotti sees it. Besides, Kaka and the rest of Milan's players worked well together. They've been playing together for a few years now, so it's natural to get along.

Both days of training were geared up for the first round of the league against Lazio.

After the end of the training, Ancelotti brought a specially edited Lazio game video for everyone to see, for the opponent of Lazio, except for Jonker, everyone knows Lazio too well, it is completely a difficult brother in Serie A, the protagonist of the scandal, so the whole Milan team, including coach Ancelotti, does not need to say anything about Lazio's understanding.

This is a late new season, hesitating before the scandalous event, the 0607 season of Serie A started later than ever with nearly one person, until the first round of Serie A in September will not meet with fans, hesitation started late, the schedule is closer than ever, many games are only 3 days apart, if the big teams play the Champions League again, it is the rhythm of three games a week.

The first round of the game is a tough battle, Lazio is not a fish belly team, the team of Rome City will definitely not show mercy to the team of Milan City, this is not a secret in Italy, at this time the Holy League does not exist zài, everyone has reason to believe that the first round of AC Milan Serie A will not be easy.

However, Ancelotti arranged the last few days of training in an orderly manner, familiar with the old opponent, there is nothing to be nervous about, compared to the attention of the outside world, the Milan team is very calm.

There is an old man in the family, there are too many treasures in the AC Milan team, when it comes to psychological adjustment before the game, Ancelotti may not need to say much, a group of old guys in the team will help to get it done, this is an ordinary Serie A game, nothing special.

Watching a group of veterans talk and laugh, step-by-step training, Jonk obviously felt a different atmosphere from Chelsea's previous preparations, without the slightest tension, if it was Chelsea again, Mourinho would definitely say a lot, to relieve pressure on the players and adjust the psychology of the players, which is not seen at all in Milan.

Under the infection of such an atmosphere, Jonk also felt that it should be like this, a game, there was no need to be so nervous.

The countdown to the debut in Serie A has begun, and many fans naturally have a natural relationship, will the names of Kaka and Jonk appear in the starting list of the first round of games?

Judging from the pre-match training, Jonk has been on the main side, and the starting position should be guaranteed, but Kaka has some doubts.

However, Carlo Ancelotti did not disappoint the fans, and in the first round, AC Milan fielded all the players who could play.

Although there is nothing new in the back line, the old four can still be relied on in key moments.

Cafu and Serginho on both sides, Nesta and Maldini in the middle, the old comrades in charge of the Milan team is definitely not a miracle, and the appearance of young people like Jonk in the starting line-up is different.

Up front, the beloved Inzaghi appeared in the front line to partner Jonck, and midfielders Andrea Pirlo and Seedorf all came on.

A set of absolute 30 plus main lineup, this is the starting lineup of Milan today, and the veteran is in charge.

It's a little dull, but it injects a clear stream, and what kind of scene will appear will have to be tested in actual combat, and Jonk's debut will also begin. (To be continued......)
