i'm just a striker

Chapter 350
Although Momo has known these things for a long time, he knows that this season of the Champions League is a moment full of miracles.

But looking at the mighty AC Milan and the Arsenal that came back to life in the group stage, Momo couldn't believe that he was eliminated just like that. This is simply incredible.

And at this time, the media can be called swords and swords. The two giants missed the semi-finals. One was sent to Deportivo and the other to Chelsea. Is this a coincidence?

Anyway, judging from the situation after the game, AC Milan was the first to express its position. The loss is a loss, but the loss is due to fate, black technology, and loss. . .Anyway, AC Milan can always find an excuse.

4-0, the score on the scoreboard at the Riazor Stadium shocked the soldiers of AC Milan. In fact, in the history of AC Milan's European wars in the past 10 years, although there have been proud works, several big scores The loss is still deeply imprinted on the team's history of shame...

1995/1996 season: Bordeaux 0-3 away

That season, AC Milan had Weah Baggio-Savicevich's trident, Maldini and Costacurta were in their prime in the defense, Baresi was old and strong, and Boban was in the midfield. , with Desailly and Albertini, it should be said that it was one of the heydays of AC Milan's lineup in recent years.

They met Bordeaux in the UEFA Cup. Originally, the French team was not favored by people. Bordeaux was in a mediocre situation in the league. The San Siro game was not surprising. Leading 2-0, it wasn't a decisive scoreline, but it could have put the Rossoneri in a good position.

However, in the away game, the situation changed suddenly. Tolo's goal in the opening 14 minutes put the Rossoneri in a state of tension. In the second half, Dugari scored two goals within 6 minutes, allowing AC Milan to taste the bitter fruit of a three-goal defeat. It also wiped out the two-goal advantage at home.In the summer of the same year, AC Milan bought Dugarry, who shined in this game.

2001/2002 season: 0-4 Dortmund away
In the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, Inter Milan played against Feyenoord, AC Milan played against Dortmund, when the Italians looked forward to the Milan duo meeting in the final, something incredible happened.AC Milan lost 0-4 to Borussia Dortmund in the first leg. Former Udinese player Amoruso scored a hat-trick in this game. Amoruso scored a penalty in the 6th minute , Then, the Brazilian's performance began. Among them, he picked and unloaded, and two fake moves made Lawerson lose his focus. Then he shot and scored, and that goal was passed down as a good story.Before the end of the first half, he beat Contra with a header and scored in the second half. Heinrich added the icing on the cake in the second half, and AC Milan lost 0-4 in the away game.

Back at home, AC Milan almost came back, which is enough to see the advantage of the two rounds of the game.It took Shevchenko and Inzaghi just 20 minutes to make it 2-0, but the game was deadlocked until Serginho took a penalty to make it 3. -0, but it was too late. In the final desperate attack, it was Dortmund who pulled back a goal.

2003/2004 season: 0-4 Deportivo away

Needless to say, the process of the game, AC Milan's poor state, Deportivo's outstanding performance, and the Rossoneri's huge psychological burden, made a big comeback that was recorded in history.

Throughout the three disastrous defeats, there is one thing in common: that is, the goal conceded within 15 minutes of the opening. It seems that playing an away game, holding the opening game, and killing the opponent's momentum is particularly important.Three disastrous defeats, and all three opponents performed mediocrely in the league. Maybe this will affect AC Milan's mentality. After the opponent took the lead, they began to be impatient and made frequent mistakes; and in today's game, they were also insufficiently prepared for the momentum shown by Deportivo at the beginning.

However, in those two seasons, AC Milan finally achieved the goal of the league. In the 95/96 season, the Rossoneri finally won the championship by 2 points ahead of No.8 Juventus. The strength and tenacity won the Champions League qualification for the next season.

AC Milan's 0-4 defeat ruined the semi-finals of the Champions League. I don't know what Berlusconi's mood is at this moment in the stands. Had the expected consequences...

"You must play double strikers!" This is Berlusconi's request to Ancelotti. For Italy, this is no longer a secret. Even in a public program, Ancelotti's wife There were some complaints about this, and Trapattoni, Mazzoni and others had a big discussion about it. The coaches all stood on Ancelotti's side, and Berlusconi's "listening behind the curtain" almost caused Despite everyone's dissatisfaction, Galliani hurried out to smooth things over: "The prime minister just expressed his wishes." However, this wish can actually be understood as an "order."

At this time, Momo admired Ancelotti, and you blamed him. . .Head over, do you still want to hang out?
Whether to play double forwards or double attacking midfielders needs to be determined according to the team's situation. In the game of "double attacking midfielders", AC Milan is not without classic battles. There are also extremely bad games, such as Chievo at home, Udinese at home, the quality of a game depends on many factors, formation is only one of them.

Restricting the "double striker" is undoubtedly equivalent to restricting the head coach's tactics.Take today's match against Deportivo as an example. If a double midfielder is used, Kaka and Rui Costa are on both sides of Shevchenko's oblique rear, so that Seedorf can put more power into the left. Tackles, and in midfield inversions, conceded goals are also reduced.In the case of a three-goal lead, it is undoubtedly the best way to strengthen defense and control. However, such a plan has long been "blocked" by Berlusconi.

The exhausted AC Milan needs to rotate, but I don't know when, Redondo, Brocchi and others disappeared from AC Milan's lineup!
In fact, after the 0-4 defeat to Lazio in the Coppa Italia, Berlusconi called Galliani's mobile phone and angrily criticized the performance of the substitutes, and the Prime Minister's instructions were conveyed to Ancelotti , the latter never used a substitute lineup again.

Later, before the game against Chievo, a reporter asked whether there would be a rotation, and Ancelotti replied veiledly: "Some players play less, which will indeed cause problems, but they should understand the coach's choice. For the club, Whether the main force or the substitute is treated equally, it is equally important."

The main lineup has played at a high level for a period of time, but the players are not "iron men" after all, without proper rotation, Cafu, Maldini, Pancaro and others have all experienced declines in varying degrees.

In fact, the effect of using Brocchi, Redondo and others is not bad. In the make-up match against Siena, it was with these players that AC Milan easily completed five consecutive victories; Is it too arbitrary to judge gains and losses based on an away game against Lazio after defeating Roma in the World Cup?According to this logic, AC Milan also lost 0-4 today. Will the main players present today not play in the future?
As a club chairman, his enthusiasm for the club is understandable. However, the club chairman is not a master tactician after all. Interfering with the head coach's formation is tantamount to playing with fire. Since you have hired the head coach, you must trust him. There will be occasional mistakes in formation and substitution, but overall, it will be much better than an ordinary person. Berlusconi should wake up.

Of course, the chairman of the club was not convinced by these news, so the next day, some newspapers wrote that the coach of AC Milan had over-trained and led to the collapse of the team.
