I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 180 Let Kaka Play

On March 3, "Turin Sports News" announced the results of the first Golden Boy Award selection. Kaka alone got 19% of the votes and became the undisputed first Golden Boy Award winner.

The influence and power of the Golden Boy Award naturally cannot be compared with the Golden Globe Award. There is not even a formal awards ceremony, and it is shabby from inside to outside. "Torino Sport" sent people to Milan to take a few sets of promotional photos, and then Kaka went to the headquarters of "Torino Sport" to receive the trophy.

Although various media used a lot of space to report on it, and before the awards were announced, a bunch of candidates were created to hype them, but in fact the whole process was quite simple and casual, and all the excitement was only on paper, and it was quite a bit of a rush.

Fortunately, there were fifteen honor points that were recorded along with it.

Because the key battle is about to start, the club put the celebration dinner after the No.20 six league rounds.

On March 3, the Juventus team arrived in Milan.

Although the two places are only more than 100 kilometers apart, Lippi decided to come here two days in advance to prepare for the game. It is conceivable how much he attaches importance to this game.

The whole city of Milan seemed to be in a state of war, and a tense and fanatical atmosphere enveloped this world-famous fashion capital.

The fans of the two sides fought ahead of time as usual, but the coaches of the two teams, Lippi and Ancelotti, were not the individual coaches like Magic Bird and Ferguson.

Two days later, the game began with much attention.

The game attracted 250 journalists and 20 television agencies, and the entire Apennines had their eyes on the San Siro.

Before the start of the game, Kaka presented the Golden Boy Award trophy at San Siro.

His teammates stood behind him and applauded gently, and Galliani also entered the field to take a photo with Kaka holding the trophy.

The scene of a group of football bigwigs and stars holding Kaka was faithfully recorded by the camera.

Not only AC Milan fans gave him warm cheers, but Juventus fans also gave him warm applause.

Neymar stood on the seat, but his sight was still tightly blocked by the fat woman in front. He quickly pulled Deegan's sleeve and kept shouting: "Deegan! Deegan! Hold me up!"

Digan, who was cheering wildly for his brother, quickly lifted him up and straddled his neck.

The pony was so happy now, he raised his hands and shouted, but was so excited that he almost fell off, and quickly grabbed Digan's hair, and pulled the latter until he grinned.

Digan was tall and tall, and with Neymar, the people behind couldn't see at all, and kept reminding them loudly.

It happened that Kaka also finished work, and Degan quickly put Neymar down.

"One day I want to win the Ballon d'Or!" Neymar yelled loudly in Degan's ear as soon as the picture of Kaka's high spirits and the fans' crazy worship of him were still circling in his mind.

"That's the Golden Boy, not the Ballon d'Or."

"Oh, yes, then get the golden boy first and then the golden ball."

"Ha! Then you can only be the second at most. Kaka must be the first to win the Golden Globe after winning the Golden Boy Award!" The scene was so noisy that Degan had to get closer and shouted.

"The second one is the second one." The little kid nodded with a smile, completely unaware of what kind of mountain he would face in the future.

Deegan still wanted to tease him a few words, but suddenly the scene seemed to explode, and the cheers went straight to the sky.

Players from both sides entered the field.

"This is Maldini's 501st Serie A game. He tied Rivera's record and became one of the players who participated in the most Serie A in AC Milan history."

"Juventus is now 4 points ahead of AC Milan in the standings. If they can win this game, they will undoubtedly firmly control the initiative in the league. On the other hand, if AC Milan still pursues the league, it must take all three points in this game, try to narrow the gap between the two sides, and then strive for victory in all subsequent games. Otherwise, they can only passively wait for their opponents to make mistakes. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this game is the final of this year's Serie A..."

"Both coaches have set up a 442 formation with a balanced offense and defense. AC Milan's starting lineup: goalkeeper Dida, defenders Simic, Maldini, Nesta, Karadze, midfielder Pirlo, Gattuso, double forwards Rui Costa, Seedorf, forwards Shevchenko, Inzaghi, and Kaka, who has returned from injury, sits on the bench and is ready to go."

"Salas stayed in Turin due to injury, and Zambrotta appeared at the left back. He, Thuram, Ferrara and Montero formed the Juventus defense line. The double midfielder was Tachinardi and Davis, the double midfielder Camoranesi and Nedved, and the double striker Trezeguet and Del Piero."

"Maldini won the coin guess and chose to tee off first."

AC Milan was not affected by the decline during this period, and had the advantage on the field from the beginning.

In the 4th minute, AC Milan made a quick counterattack. Simic grabbed the ball at Piero's feet and handed it to Pirlo.

Juventus fans breathed a sigh of relief, because Inzaghi was alone in the penalty area and he was in an offside position.

But who knew that the cunning Inzaghi didn't take the ball, but missed the ball. Shevchenko, who hadn't seen anyone just now, suddenly came out from the left side of the penalty area and hit the goal from a small angle.

"Shevchenko shot! Fantastic Buffon, he blocked it with his right foot, Inzaghi!"

Montero rushed up with Sheva, so Inzaghi, who had been in an offside position, was now safe, and ran quickly towards the ball blocked by Buffon.

Ferrara cursed secretly, knowing that it would be too late for a frontal interception, he directly shoveled towards the goal, and his whole body was on the goal line.

Inzaghi's push shot hit Ferrara's knee and bounced out. Buffon and Sheva rushed towards the football together. In the end, Shevchenko took a quick step, turned around and shot quickly.

Sheva, who finished the shot, fell into the penalty area due to inertia, while the football flew past Buffon's footsteps and got into the lower right corner of the goal.

"GOAL! Shevchenko turned around and shot the goal! AC Milan leads 1:0!"

"This is Shevchenko's 10th league goal this season, his 112th goal in 67 Serie A games, and his fifth goal against Juventus in the league!"

Sheva got up quickly, because he was too excited, he didn't stand firmly on the first step, and almost fell again, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, supported it with his hands, and ran to the sidelines.

The teammates rushed forward, tightly clustering the recently questioned nuclear warheads in the middle.

Kaka followed his teammates and jumped up on the bench to celebrate the lead. After sitting back, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have promised Sheva that he would help him complete Milan's [-]-goal achievement this season. I don't know how it is done now.

"Is this the first goal Sheva scored for Milan?" He turned around and asked Redondo beside him.

"I don't know, why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"When he played Como last time, he seemed to have scored 91 goals for Milan, and he should not be far from [-] goals."

"Really?" Brother Dong seemed to be more concerned than Kaka. He stood up and went to the assistant coach to ask for the answer. "Counting this 96."

"That's almost there."

They took the lead at the beginning of the game, and the home fans were like celebrating a festival, without a moment's rest, the drums and horns shouted together, and the voices of the Juventus fans were firmly covered.

AC Milan, which scored the first goal, played steadily, while Juventus, which was behind, began to attack frantically.

Just six minutes after Shevchenko's goal, Juventus also created a chance with a counterattack.

Pirlo's cross was plucked from the air by the striking Buffon and sprinted to Zambrotta, who dribbled the ball down the left, past Costa, and passed it to Camoranesi.

After passing the ball, he did not return to his defensive position, but moved forward all the way to AC Milan's half.

Camoranesi and Nedved scored one in a row, pushed the ball to the front of the penalty area, and passed the ball to Zambrotta under Nesta's tough defense.

Zambrotta was about to rush to the bottom line when Gattuso suddenly rushed over and knocked him to the ground in the fight.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Foul by AC Milan. Free kick by Juventus.

Gattuso didn't argue, stood up and walked away silently.

"Let's take a look at the slow motion. Gattuso's right foot did hook Zambrotta. There is no problem with this penalty. Juventus won a free kick on the left in an excellent position. Nedved will take the penalty..."

The fans booed the Czech iron man in all kinds of ways, but Nedved's face sank, and he was not affected by anything, and kicked a half-high ball that seemed to pass and shoot.

Tachinardi went around the goal and dived to the top, but failed to touch the ball.

The football flew past his scalp.

Dida, who was standing in the middle of the goal line, had no time to react as the ball bounced off his chest dramatically into the bottom left corner.

1: 1.

"GOAL! In the 10th minute of the game, Juventus tied the score! Judging from the slow motion, Tacchinardi didn't seem to touch the ball, and the ball didn't change direction. This goal should be credited to Nedved. This is his ninth league goal this season, second only to Del Piero who scored 9 goals in the team. Nedved's wonderful performance made the fans completely forget about Zidane..."

The urgency of the narrators is like this, every time they say that XX's performance makes people forget his predecessor, but every time they will bring him up for comparison.

There were two goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. No matter how you look at this game, it has the potential of a goal war, but after scoring this goal, Juventus actually began to shrink a bit.

From the perspective of the championship situation, a draw is beneficial to Juventus. For the budget-conscious Silver Fox, it is better to secure a draw than to take the risk of pursuing a victory. After all, AC Milan will face Inter Milan in the future.

Milan attacked with all their strength, but Juventus played a defensive counterattack. Milan's four frontcourt players tried their best to break through the goal guarded by Buffon again. The two sides entered the lounge with a score of one to one.

At the beginning of the second half, Lippi and Ancelotti did not adjust the lineup, but Milan attacked more urgently, Juventus defended more steadily, the fans of both sides remained enthusiastic, but the neutral fans became sleepy.

I don't know who started it, Kaka's name suddenly sounded from the home team's stands.

"Kaka!"

"Kaka!"

"Let Kaka play!"

"Carol! Let Kaka play!"

"The game has reached a deadlock, and the fans are calling Kaka's name! Indeed, the only one on AC Milan's bench who has the strength to change the situation is Kaka who has just received his first Golden Boy Award."

Ancelotti folded his hands coolly on the sidelines, as if he didn't hear anything, and just when the fans couldn't help but greet his family, he waved and called the assistant coach over.

"Tell him to warm up."

Ancelotti didn't mention the name, but the assistant coach knew who he was talking about as long as he didn't use his brain.

Kaka stood up, and the fans were satisfied and applauded warmly. Neymar's sight was once again blocked, and he could only stand on his seat and follow along, his face turned black and red with excitement.

Kaka finished warming up quickly and walked to Ancelotti's side.

Ancelotti put one hand on his shoulder, pointed to the stands with one hand, and said, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard."

"Then go up and don't let them down."
