princely elegance

Chapter 394
After arriving in Madrid, as usual, AC Milan coach Leonardo attended the pre-match press conference with Kaka.

Serie A has become Inter Milan's backyard after Calciopoli, and Berlusconi's patience has reached the extreme after the rival's four consecutive league titles.Ancelotti was fired in the end, but compared to Moratti, Old Bei was very patient and gave Ancelotti at least two years to prove himself.

After two years in a row, the four majors were all empty, before Ancelotti was fired by the unbearable Berlusconi.The person who replaced him was Leonardo, a famous star in the history of AC Milan. As a Brazilian compatriot who brought Kaka to San Siro, his succession can also ensure the smooth handover of the team's locker room.

And his arrival also contributed to Kaka's contract renewal, ensuring that AC Milan's head star was not poached by Real Madrid.It's just that although Leonardo should be successful in all aspects, things like coaching level will not improve because you have a good relationship with the players.

Leonardo, who was given high hopes in the new season, was not able to break Inter Milan's dominance in Serie A. In the second round of the Milan Derby, he was beaten 4:0 by Mourinho at San Siro's home court.Fortunately, he was coaching AC Milan. If it was Inter Milan next door, Moratti would have been fired immediately after this fiasco.

AC Milan currently ranks in the middle of Serie A. After eight rounds, the record is three wins, three draws and two losses.Although they won two games in a row in the Champions League, they were all bumps and bumps, and it was difficult to win by one goal.Compared with the massacre of Real Madrid, AC Milan looks so bleak.

It's just that even if AC Milan is in decline, it is still the first-class giant on this planet. The duel between him and Real Madrid was instantly copied by everyone under the influence of Gago and Kaka.

For UEFA, ratings are everything, as long as the ratings go up, advertisements, sponsorships and so on will come up in an endless stream.What can stimulate the ratings increase is nothing more than giants duel, superstars in the same field these skills.

The match between Real Madrid and AC Milan took up both items, so Platini tried his best to promote this match, even at the expense of playing in person.He came to Madrid the day before the game and told reporters that he was going to watch the top matchup in Europe in person.

On the second day, the photographers at the scene found the extremely high-profile Platini without much effort. He and Real Madrid's chairman Calderon stood respectfully beside a man in gorgeous clothes.

"It's King Carlos I. He also came to watch the Real Madrid game live, but this is also a very normal thing. Everyone knows that His Majesty the King is a loyal Real Madrid fan!"

Under one of the most luxurious boxes at the Bernabéu, Carlos I smiled and gestured to Calderon and Platini beside him to sit down. Watching the players of the two teams come out, he applauded first.

"Bernd did a good job at Real Madrid. Under his hands, Fer has grown into a world-class superstar. This is also the first child to grow into a superstar in Real Madrid since the 21st century. Ramon bought him back then It's the most correct transfer you've ever done in your life!"

After listening to Carlos I's words, Calderon couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face, although at that time he bought three young people at a high price in the winter transfer with the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor.Originally, he was just thinking about perfunctory fans, but he was so lucky that he bought the pillar of the team for the next ten years.Now Gago has grown into the world's number one star, which has increased his investment by more than five times.

On the other side, Platini kept smiling without saying a word, looking straight at Gago and Kaka who were shaking hands on the field.

As a wealthy family, they naturally need some allies, and the ones that can become allies with Real Madrid are naturally the clubs of the same level as him.In the entire football world, everyone knows that Florentino and Galliani can wear a pair of pants. Whenever Real Madrid wants to clean up their team's superstars, AC Milan is always the first to eat meat. team.

Had it not been for the fact that Florentino owed Moratti favors on Ronaldo's transfer back then, when Figo left Real Madrid, he would not have gone to Inter Milan, but AC Milan.

However, since Calderon came to power, the relationship between Real Madrid and AC Milan has not been very stable. On the contrary, the relationship between Barcelona and AC Milan has been upgraded year by year.Last year, Galliani was able to sign Ronaldinho under the eyes of Chelsea, Manchester City and other sponsors because of the good relationship between the two.

In fact, the reason for this situation lies in Kaka. Calderon made a promise when he became the chairman of Real Madrid that he would sign Kaka, Cesc Fabregas and Robben.As a result, three years have passed, and among the three people who had agreed, only one Robben came, and he was still a sick young man who had been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

The desire for Kaka made Calderon try every means to seduce the Brazilian king every summer and winter, which made Galliani tireless, causing the relationship between the two clubs to go from close to ordinary to estranged!
In this game, players from both teams were not very enthusiastic when they shook hands because they didn't have any acquaintances.

Real Madrid is composed of Spanish, Argentine and Dutch players, while AC Milan is mainly Italian and Brazilian.Cannavaro chose to leave Real Madrid in the summer because he was the only Italian in the team.

Although there is a Brazilian in Real Madrid's main lineup, Marcelo and Kaka, who have just entered the Brazilian national team, can't say much about old courtiers like Ronaldinho.

Coupled with the fact that Ronaldinho, the former Real Madrid rival, is in AC Milan's starting lineup, it's strange to be enthusiastic.

At the beginning of the game, both sides tried cautiously for a while. This scene is very strange for Real Madrid fans. You must know that this scene has not been staged at the Bernabeu for a long time.In La Liga, only Barcelona can make Real Madrid take it seriously, but Real Madrid is too familiar with Barcelona. Generally, after coming up, it will be a real fight.Probing or something, I only saw it a few years ago.

Today, Real Madrid, who are playing at home, are so cautious. Although there are reasons for Schuster's attention, it is more because AC Milan is indeed an opponent that can make Real Madrid feel at ease.

Even though the average age of the eleven players on the Rossoneri is over 30 years old, no one has ever dared to underestimate these old guys.They may not be able to play victorious games throughout the season, but when they concentrate on one game, they can burst out with power that makes everyone look up.

In 07, AC Milan was able to win the Champions League amidst the siege of the top three in the Premier League. In addition to Kaka, this group of experienced old guys is also a very important reason.

However, although he is afraid of AC Milan, it does not mean that Schuster will be afraid of them. In his home court, the lineup sent by the German made the [-] fans cheer collectively.

Goalkeeper Casillas, defense line Marcelo, Pepe, Heinze, Ramos; midfielder is the most terrifying trio in Europe, Alonso, Sneijder, Gago; frontcourt except Ruud van Nistelrooy In addition to the old guns of Raul and Silva, there is also Silva, a genius who has conquered Mei Linger.

"At our home court, I will use offense to bring the team a victory!"

This is what Schuster said before the game. Some people think it is a smoke bomb, just to confuse Leonardo, but when this full attack formation really appeared, those experts in the media kept their mouths shut.

After the first few minutes of testing, Real Madrid's offensive combination that the whole of Europe feared made AC Milan fans start to worry.

Gago's split in the 10th minute almost made Silva single-handedly. This game was suspended due to Gattuso, so it was AC Milan's captain Ambrosini who was responsible for defending Gago.

In the past, the three fixed midfielders in Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation were Gattuso, Pirlo and Ambrosini.Although Gattuso's name is above Ambrosini's, his strong will made him the captain of AC Milan after Maldini retired.

Ambrosini has an excellent sense of rhythm and precise positioning. It is precisely because of his escort that Pirlo can fully organize and dispatch in the backcourt.

But in this game, Ambrosini encountered trouble, and the object of the trouble was Real Madrid's eukaryote, No. 1 in today's football.

"Gago, a beautiful breakthrough, he swayed continuously in the midfield, dodged Ambrosini, went in, and Real Madrid's true nucleus entered the penalty area, where Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy had already opened up space for him, What will he do?"

Just when Brando screamed loudly, Gago volleyed directly before Thiago Silva came up.After he shot, Ambrosini's sliding tackle, who turned around, flashed in front of him.

"Dida, he did a great job. He blocked the angle of Gago's shot in time and blocked the ball!"

But the crisis has not yet come into contact. After Silva nimbly dodged Zambrotta in the penalty area, he went towards the ball's landing point and wanted to make a supplementary shot.

But Thiago Silva showed his excellent defensive talent, blocking Silva behind him with a sideways, allowing Dida to stand up in time and grab the ball.

"A thrilling scene, the fight between the two Silva, in the end David Silva slowed down a step and failed to complete the follow-up shot. AC Milan escaped!"

Not long after the game started, Leonardo couldn't sit still anymore. He kept stamping his feet on the sidelines and shouted at the players.

"Defend, defend, don't let Real Madrid finish the shot easily!"

But just after his words fell, Gago completed another shot. When Pirlo was about to score the ball, he slashed from the angle, broke the ball and dunked Ambrosini and Nesta consecutively before shooting.

If Thiago Silva hadn't subconsciously stretched out his foot to block it at a critical moment, the ball would definitely have entered the dead corner of the goal.

AC Milan's defense was completely overwhelmed in front of Gago today!
