At the end of April and the beginning of May, the Serie A League specially set aside about ten days' respite time in the match schedule, so that the 20th route princes can adjust their energy and go to fight for the last few games, which is also convenient for some European teams to fight separately. But at the end of the season, only AC Milan are still defending the dignity of Serie A in Europe, and the other seven teams have been eliminated in the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.
Speaking of this year's UEFA Cup, it's quite interesting. The semi-final became the civil war between Ukraine and Germany. Dynamo Kiev vs. Donetsk miner, Hamburg vs. Werder Bremen.
AC Milan not only reached the top four of the Champions League, but also reached the semi-finals of the Italian Football Association Cup. So, in the interval of the competition in which the Italian giants are breathing, Milan still cannot relax. Instead, there are two fierce battles waiting for them, one is the Champions League semi-final and the other is the FA Cup. The first was the second leg of the Italian Football Association Cup semi-final with Juventus.
In the new competition system of FA Cup, only the semi-finals adopt the home and away two rounds elimination system, and all other rounds, including the final, are determined. In last month's wild seven game winning streak, Zhuoyang's hat trick led Milan to a 3-2 win over Juventus in the first leg of the Alpi stadium. During that time, the schedule was very intensive, basically three days a game. Moreover, AC Milan would not let go of Inter Milan in the league. Juventus also needed to compete with Fiorentina and Rome for the third place in the square inch, so both sides squeezed out the half main force and the substitute team. Milan won in Zhuoyang to bully the small.
The goal of AC Milan this season is very obvious. The Champions League is always the favorite of the giants. It's a place where Milan fight all the time. However, the Italian championship has not been touched for five years, and has been riding on the head of neighbors for nearly three years. Last season, Zhuoyang missed the last two rounds because of his absence. This season, with four rounds left, AC Milan have a 5-point lead, which is a must.
Relatively speaking, the FA Cup is naturally the most difficult competition in the three major fronts. Not only AC Milan, but also some Italian giants are playing casually in the first few rounds. Fortunately, they only paid a little attention to it when they came to the semi-finals, as is the case with Juve and Milan. The two teams in the first round of the center according to the undeclared two sets of lineup match, Milan 3-2 score also did not make the situation clear, so, this game still has to play.
AC Milan's last win of the Italian Cup dates back to the 2002-03 season, when a German Football Association Cup was won by a German team called madibao. After a long time, this time we have seen the hazy image of the cup, Milan undoubtedly have an idea. But the schedule is so difficult, three days later is the Champions League semi-final of Arsenal, the team must keep enough strength, so AC Milan prepared the match according to the practice of the big teams in the domestic cup.
At the beginning of the season, the top five league teams rank the importance of the domestic cup at the last, let the second tier or even the echelon of the substitutes play, which means which. Once the team is lucky enough to survive at the end of the season and see the dawn of the trophy, the team will not let the main team pick up the fruit, but will continue to trust those substitutes and echelon players who have made great contributions in the previous matches, and with some main players to form a mixed team, so that they can complete their own campaign.
If you can win the championship in the end, you will be happy. The cup is a reward for those second tier players. If you lose in the end, it will not hurt.
According to the physical report given by Milan laboratory, Zhuoyang, Ronaldinho and pompon led the match. In addition, Flamini, Bonera, duck and Dida were the four main players in rotation. The other four starters were all dead sets for this season's substitute. Darmian, Senderos, caldacio, Emerson.
Pato, the duck, has become a flower in the past few days under the nourishment of lust and "love". He is as relaxed and happy as Zhuoyang.
Finally, the entanglement of Barbara was clarified, and the sharp sword hanging above her head finally disappeared. When Zhuoyang went to tell Koko his loyalty, he was undoubtedly stronger. Moreover, in the continuous tracking of Milan laboratory's physical condition, his data is the best of the whole team, so it's a matter of course to wear the captain's armband to play again.
Because of last year's dispute with Buffon, Zhuoyang and Juventus didn't deal with each other a little, but both sides were converging and didn't cause any more trouble. Recently, however, Zhuoyang has started a fire against Juve, not against Buffon, but their head coach "Tinker" Ranieri.
A week ago, in the 33rd round of the league, Juventus lost to Genoa 2-3 in an accident away from home, and the whole game was a red six yellow. After the match, Ranieri, who was under pressure, pointed his finger at the referee and criticized his unfair decision which led to the defeat of Juve. Right or wrong is not discussed first, but Ranieri said such a sentence but set off a storm, and caused Zhuoyang.
"The referee looks like a Chinese. He always gives us yellow cards."
"Like a Chinese" is sometimes a catchphrase in Italy and Europe, but its meaning is basically commendatory. It means hard-working, busy and rigorous people. Generally speaking, it means that a person overwork or studies hard. If a person works hard in the company and often works overtime, people will say that he is "like a Chinese".However, Ranieri's words at the moment do not mean this at all. Instead, he used the hot media pun to scold the referee and blackmail China.
In the first half of last year, Cheng Hao, Zhuoyang's' memory of the emperor's use ', came forward to unveil the black curtain of' fake ugliness' in Chinese football, which not only set off huge waves in China, but also became a focus of the world football. Up to now, domestic anti-counterfeiting is still in full swing, many demons and monsters have been caught in the original shape, and European mainstream media still have follow-up reports from time to time.
The mouth is two pieces of skin. People say that the world of "spring and autumn brushwork" is all right. You can make the public feel that Chinese football is as dirty as garbage in the report, or you can make the audience admire China's determination and courage to punish the bad and promote the good. What the media is good at is to take the rhythm and lead the melon eating people's nose as they like.
However, the Italian media reported that Chinese football's anti blackout was moderate, and most of them talked about the matter, not how noble they were, but they didn't have the face to smash. "The phone door" is not over. He laughs at Chinese football in this respect. The Italians are also guilty.
Ranieri used a pun to vent his discontent, but he was attacked by all over Italy because it was an extremely rude act. Although China's strong rise has made Europeans generally sour, coupled with the stigma and prejudice, people here are happy to see and hear that someone has been hanging on China, but it's private. It's against the political correctness to do so in the newspaper media. Those who rubbed against the heat, pretended to be Notre Dame, and were dignified, picked out one after another to accuse Ranieri of being rude.
Europeans are very hypocritical ha!
Juventus are also very angry, they are the first protagonist of the phone door, how dare to burn themselves. Besides, the Chinese market and fans are the target of the Italian giants.
Juve executives directly slapped Ranieri on the table and gave him an ultimatum.
