I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 136 Changed positions, each has teammates

At the same time that AC Milan beat Deportivo, Bayern Munich was tied 1-1 by Lens.

AC Milan won two games and accumulated six points, temporarily ranking first in the group.

And the score of 4-0 is not the best in this round of the Champions League group stage. In the later duel, Arsenal in Group A also defeated Eindhoven 4-0, Real Madrid in Group C beat Genk 6-0, Lyon in Group D beat Rosenberg 5-0, and Juventus Dynamo Kiev 5-0 in Group E. It can be said that except for Bayern 1-1 Lens and Roma 0-0 Athens AEK, all strong teams have won.

From the second round of Serie A on September 9 to the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on September 14, AC Milan played a total of four games. Not only did they win all of them, they also scored 9 goals and conceded only one goal. Their offensive and defensive performance is among the best in Europe.

How to contain the combination of Inzaghi + Kaka has become a topic that all Serie A coaches must step up their research.

On September 9, the fourth round of Serie A kicked off.

In the focus match, Juventus ended their winning streak and conceded 2 goals first to draw with Parma 2-2 at home. "Juventus nemesis" Nakata Hidetoshi scored the Bianconeri's goal for the fifth time. Del Piero chased the score to 5-2 in the 2th minute of stoppage time, thus ranking the top scorer with 5 goals, but his goal attracted widespread controversy.

At that time, Del Piero stopped the long pass with his hands under Ferrari's close pressing, and passed Frey to score the ball. The Parma players strongly protested, but the referee decided that the goal was valid and immediately blew the final whistle.

At 20:30, AC Milan played against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Although the media brought out the rhythm of "Kaka will avenge Ronaldo" before the game and successfully caused some disturbances, the focus of this game was actually Nesta.

He came from Lazio's youth training camp. He was promoted to Lazio's first team in 1994 to start his career. From the second season, he slowly secured his position as Lazio's main central defender, and gradually grew into Lazio's flag bearer, the flag of the North Stand of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the captain of the Blue Eagles and "not for sale".

He was sold to AC Milan in August this year, and Kaka was just behind him. This is the first time he returned to his hometown after the transfer.

In addition, the big and small Inzaghi brothers competed in the same field, and Ambrosini's 1 Serie A game also made this game full of highlights, almost attracting the attention of the entire Apennines.

Because the next game will meet Bayern in the Champions League, Ancelotti did not let Costa and Pirlo start, but still threw Kaka and Inzaghi into the main lineup.

The two sides met in the player tunnel, Nesta's former teammates all came to the former captain, Stam hugged him, Peruzzi patted him on the shoulder, Lopez showed him a familiar smile...

Nesta was talking to them softly, not in harmony with an opponent preparing to fight, but a rare gathering of old friends on a weekend afternoon. If they didn’t look at the jersey on his body, the audience in front of the TV would even think that he had never left.

Players from both sides enter the field.

On the south stand of Rome's Olympic Stadium, long banners fluttered.

"Lazio's [-] years, you gave a lot, you got everything, although you didn't give any greetings, but we want to say: hello, goodbye."

This is football.

When Rui Costa returned to Fiorentina wearing an AC Milan jersey, he received countless flowers, hugs and enough tears to fill the Arno River.

When Nesta wore a red and black jersey and stepped onto the turf of the Olympic Stadium, he was greeted only by the cold expressions and even colder eyes of the fans.

"The preparations for the game have begun. Nesta's expression is very calm. This is probably the first time he walked out of the visiting team's locker room at the Olympic Stadium before the start of the game... Philippe Inzaghi and Simone Inzaghi embrace each other. Their parents must be the happiest and most conflicted people in the world today... Ambrosini, this is his seventh year in Serie A, and it is also his first Serie A game..."

The whistle sounded, and as soon as Thomason sent the ball, there were harsh boos from the audience.

Kaka received a pass from Inzaghi the Great, pierced Inzaghi Jr.'s crotch straight forward, and quickly distributed the ball to the left.

Seedorf took the ball a few steps forward, tried to break through the defenders to no avail, and passed the ball back.

Gattuso gets the ball and crosses to Ambrosini, who crosses to Kaka.

Kaka has already pulled to the right, taking the ball sideways, and Stankovic hurried up to press.

Kaka protected the ball and slowly made a big circle. Stankovic followed behind him and followed him in a circle. The positions of the two were swapped in a blink of an eye, and the picture was quite joyful.

Seedorf waved in the frontcourt, and Kaka quickly passed the ball.

Facing Seedorf's feint, Castroman snatched the ball with a precise kick.

Lazio's counterattack.

The ball was given to Stankovic. He ignored Lopez who retreated to respond, but quickly dribbled the ball close to Kaka and directly passed the ball.

Kaka stretched out his feet and failed to intercept the ball, and immediately turned around and chased wildly. Stankovic was about to get the ball, but Kaka suddenly rushed over from the side, squeezed him away, and kicked the ball to Gattuso.

The Lazio fans covered their faces in shame, unable to watch.

Gattuso and Ambrosini passed each other twice, and again passed the ball to Kaka.

Stankovic entangled again unwillingly. Kaka turned his back to him and pretended to catch the ball, but suddenly missed it when his right foot was about to touch the ball.

Stankovic rushed up aggressively, but Kaka ran past him. He even rushed two steps forward before stopping the car. Now he stood there pitifully, not knowing why he was passed, with a confused expression on his face.

The cameraman is also a bad guy. Instead of looking for Kaka who has already dribbled the ball, the cameraman thoughtfully gave Stankovic a clear close-up, and fixed his skeptical expression on the TV screens of thousands of households.

Kaka quickly approached Lazio's penalty area. Seedorf ran sideways and helped him take away a defensive player. Full-back Pancaro quickly ran up. Just when Kaka was about to pass him with a change of direction, he fell to the ground and shoveled the ball.

The whistle sounded, Lazio fouled, and AC Milan took a free kick in the frontcourt.

Kaka stood up, straightened some socks, picked up the ball, and put it on the foul spot.

"AC Milan got a free kick about 35 meters away from the goal. This position reminds me of Ronaldinho's direct free kick against Seaman in the World Cup. Can Kaka replicate the classic moment of his compatriots in Brazil?"

I don't know if Lazio also thought of Ronaldinho's free kick lob. Facing a free kick in this bad position, they still spent a lot of thought on arranging the human wall.

On AC Milan's side, not only several midfielders ran into the penalty area, but Maldini and Karazze also rushed up and ambushed near the goal.

Kaka took two more steps back than usual, and sent a curveball with a wide arc.

The football went around the wall and flew to the right of the goal. The goalkeeper Peruzzi attacked and intercepted the ball, but failed to touch the ball.

Maldini jumped high and headed the ball into the empty goal.

"GOAL!! A beautiful header! Kaka's free kick bypassed all Lazio's defensive players and accurately found Maldini. The Milan captain opened the scoring for the team!"

1: 0.

Maldini ran out from the penalty area, raised his hands, high-fived Kaka, and hugged.

Lazio had just experienced a big turmoil, even the captain was sold to the opponent, and the few remaining generals in the team were frequently rumored with other teams. It was a time when people were panicking, and they failed to make any strong counterattack in the face of the backward situation.

In the 14th minute of the game, Kaka and Stankovic were singled out in the middle, but this time the Serbian won, destroying Kaka's oxtail with one kick, and then kicked the ball to the frontcourt.

Inzaghi stopped the ball with his chest, turned around, and was about to kick, Simic suddenly rushed up, kicked the ball away and brought down the Lazio striker who was about to shoot.

The referee also awarded a free kick in the frontcourt.

"Lazio also got a free kick, and this ball was placed in a better position. There is no doubt that this is Mihajlovic's time. Will this game turn into a free kick fight?"

There are many free kick masters in this era, and Mikhailovich undoubtedly belongs to the top group.

In addition to his free kick hat-trick against his old club Sampdoria in 1998, he is most talked about, as well as his youth experience.

It is said that because the average height of the Serbs is very high and the crowds are superior to others, the head coaches of the domestic league teams almost gave up the way of scoring free kicks, but the young Miha did not believe in evil.

Facing such a master of free kicks, Dida, who was guarding the goal in this game, certainly did not dare to be careless. Even Kaka, who had never participated in defense, was called back by him to line up the wall.

Mikhailovich obviously had an idea about this free kick. He stood at the penalty spot to observe for a long time before sending the ball out.

The wall jumped high, but no one could touch the ball.

There was a noticeable dip in the football after it went over the wall, but it still hit the crossbar and bounced into the penalty area.

Lopez snatched a follow-up shot, and Nesta stepped forward in time to block his shot with his back.

Kaladze broke the ball out of the baseline.

Lazio corner.

It was still Mikhailovich who served, and this time it was Nesta who made the contribution again. He judged the football's landing point correctly and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

But in addition to the praise of his teammates, there were harsh boos from the side of the court to greet him.

As much as I once loved, now I hate so much.
