Chapter 63 Before the Final Battle, Set a Small Goal First [Please First Order, Please Subscribe! ]
"Of course, we can already discuss the championship at this time. We can no longer humbly say that there is still suspense in the league. At least from tonight, all suspense has disappeared."
"I am very happy to win this tough battle with my teammates. Inter Milan is an absolutely strong team. They have dominated Serie A in the past few years, but today we defeated such an opponent. I think Every Milan fan will be proud of our performance!”
"My body feels okay. Compared with Beckham? No, I'm not as good at running as him. Of course, I have to go to bed early tonight. I feel like I can sleep for a whole day~"
"No, no, no, I have 100% respect for Fiorentina and Sampdoria. When we win the championship depends on when we get enough points. Let's play one game at a time. Anyway, you will all witness it in the end."
After the war, Li Ang, who had gradually calmed down, accepted interviews from various Italian media on the sidelines.
He was in a pretty good mood at this moment, so he chatted with the reporters at the scene for a while.
However, when faced with some questions that were obviously deliberately digging holes, he still kept an eye out, carefully weighed his words and gave ambiguous answers.
After all, there are two different things between saying within the team that they want to win consecutive championships and announcing such an idea to the outside world.
Everyone in the locker room closed the door and said it was called boosting morale.
But saying such things in front of media reporters is arrogant.
Are Fiorentina and Sampdoria shameless?
Didn’t you see that Uncle Jon is still saying good things about the two teams in interviews?
For this kind of thing, everyone should give each other face, and compete fairly in the last two rounds. The party that cannot be defeated will not resist desperately, so just try your best.
But if you want to expose your face, you have to be prepared to be attacked by others.
Secretly jotting down the names of several media outlets who wanted to cause trouble, Li Ang finally declined their request to continue the interview, and went to the fans with his teammates to thank them.
I went back to the locker room to do physical therapy, drink water, eat something, and rinse. After all the hard work, it was almost early morning.
Almost all of Milan's main players who worked hard today chose to go home directly.
Li Ang also drove back to his residence and fell asleep directly.
Intermediate physical recovery potions are far less effective than high-level physical recovery potions.
Li Ang was very tired today and slept straight away until noon the next day.
In the next two days of vacation, Li Ang did not go to Milanello to practice again, but stayed at his residence to recover his physical fitness.
Of course, with the free Dreamland basic training session and the Dreamland team simulation match once every five days, he doesn't have to worry about his condition declining.
After resting comfortably for two days, Li Ang drove to Milanello first thing on the morning of April 5th.
After receiving a physical examination from the team doctor, he took the lead in starting recovery training under the care of a physical coach.
By the time other Milan players arrived at Milanello at half past nine, Li Ang had already completed the morning's recovery training.
The big guys in Milan were not surprised by this situation. After joking about Li Ang, they started the physical examination and recovery training step by step.
Allegri and his assistant carefully read the physical examination report of each first-team player.
Not surprisingly, Li Ang, Boateng, and Ibrahimovic were evaluated as "as strong as an ox" by the Milan team doctor.
But there are also things that make Allegri hit his head.
That is because Seedorf and Nesta were advised by the team doctor to be excluded from the starting lineup for the next round of the league due to muscle fatigue.
In desperation, Allegri could only use the "magic striker" Bonera again.
Although our striker pats his chest and promises not to let anything slip in the final critical moment of the league.
But Milan, from top to bottom, dare not have optimistic expectations for this great player.
After all, now that Bonera says that he can't let go of defense, it is the same as Amauri said last season that he will definitely help Juventus score goals in the next game.
They themselves may be really confident, but the team’s head coach, teammates, and fans really don’t believe it either.
After five days of preparation training, Milan set off early on the evening of April 9 and arrived in Florence.
This city is very beautiful, it seems to have its own literary and artistic qualities, and it is also very tolerant and kind to foreign tourists.
But the opponent Milan is about to face does not have the "gentle" temperament of the city in which it is located.
Fiorentina's record this season is very balanced.
After thirty rounds of league games, they won ten of them, drew twelve and lost nine.
The number of wins and losses is almost the same.
As the team with the most draws this season, Fiorentina has also demonstrated its "not simple" with the goal-conceding data currently ranked fifth from the bottom in Serie A.
He has a tough style, is good at maintaining balance with his opponents, and has an excellent defense.
Encountering such a strong defensive team on the way to the championship undoubtedly made the Milan players subconsciously worried.
After all, it is difficult for Florence to enter the European competition now, and it has successfully avoided relegation early. It can be said that it has entered the end-of-season state of "no desires and no demands" ahead of schedule.
Therefore, if Fiorentina sets up a bus tomorrow and does not attack but defends, then should Milan take the risk and press out to look for offensive opportunities?
Such assumptions and questions always linger in the minds of Milan players and members of the Milan coaching staff.
After spending the last night before the game not too peacefully, Milan arrived at the Franchi Stadium on the evening of April 10.
The list of starting players that Fiorentina had released in advance made Allegri look a little solemn.
Because Fiorentina chose to play the 3-5-2 formation they are good at after all.
And facing this super defensive formation that can easily form five defenders and three midfielders by shrinking the half court, Allegri can only helplessly start the second set of backup tactics.
Press on and attack.
Only until the balance on the field is broken, Milan is qualified to talk about defense again.
However, when all Milan players have made the worst-case plan, they suddenly found that Fiorentina did not seem to want to play a half-court squat counterattack with them.
Which team that wants to squat would spread out its formation and play hedging with the opponent at the beginning of the game?
Now, Fiorentina, in a "desireless" state, put aside its psychological burden and wanted to attack Milan.
And Milan accidentally activated the strong attack tactics.
The two sides started the game and it was so hot.
The reporters who were ready to watch a boring game were shocked.
Allegri couldn't change the tactics to counterattack at this time, otherwise it would easily cause the team's tactical thinking to be inconsistent.
Moreover, Fiorentina dared to press forward and attack them.
As the team with the strongest offensive firepower in Serie A this season, why didn't Milan dare to let go and fight Fiorentina?
Ibrahimovic raised the banner of Milan's attack and pressed in the hinterland of Fiorentina's half to actively find a route to break into the penalty area.
Cassano was eager to try, and Boateng was full of expectations.
Milan's frontcourt attack trio soon created dangers in front of Fiorentina's penalty area.
Li Ang didn't press forward for the time being because he had to assist Pirlo to withstand Fiorentina's central impact.
But with his super personal ability, Ibrahimovic still took the lead in receiving Cassano's through pass and knocked on Fiorentina's goal in the 27th minute of the first half!
With this goal as a foundation, Milan's offensive and defensive organization became more relaxed.
In the 36th minute of the first half, Ibrahimovic, who was in a hot state, stepped forward again and beat defender Gamberini in the Fiorentina penalty area to successfully score twice!
It was a pity that only four minutes after Ibrahimovic scored, Fiorentina striker Gilardino also received Montolivo's pass and shot low on the Milan penalty area line.
This turned Milan's two-goal lead in the first half into one goal, and also boosted Fiorentina's morale.
Li Ang, who failed to stop Montolivo from getting rid of him at the last moment, was somewhat dissatisfied with his performance.
So after the start of the second half, he increased the level of defense against Montolivo.
As soon as "Yiyi Meng" passed the midline, he had to be wary of Li Ang's "enthusiastic care" close to him.
After Montolivo's performance was limited, Gilardino also had a hard time getting a good chance to receive the ball and kick.
His striker partner Santana was directly silenced by Antonini's close defense, and Gilardino, who did not get much support, was silent in Milan's penalty area.
But Milan's offensive is still in full swing.
Uncle Jon did not adjust the tactics to strengthen the defense in the first half today. Ibrahimovic and Cassano naturally had to seize this opportunity to perform well.
Being willing to defend does not mean that they like to defend now.
Attacking, using their talents and talents in the offense, is what they like to do most.
In the 68th minute of the second half, Cassano suddenly accelerated on the wing and broke through two Fiorentina defenders in succession.
Facing Natali's defense, Cassano chose to knock the ball to Ibrahimovic who was waiting for him at the top of the penalty area.
But then, he accelerated without hesitation and inserted into the penalty area of Fiorentina. Ibrahimovic also tacitly sent a straight pass!
Such a smooth and smooth cooperation made Li Ang, who had just moved forward, cheer in his heart.
And Cassano's last light and spiritual lob shot penetrated the gate guarded by Boruc for the third time, and Milan once again widened the lead to two goals!
Allegri finally moved and made a tactical gesture to strengthen defense.
Countless Milan fans were completely relieved at this moment.
The final score of the game remained at 3-1, and neither team scored again in the next 20 minutes.
After winning another game, Milan finally came to the last step away from winning the Serie A championship.
Li Ang also knew clearly that he might only have the last five or six games left before leaving Italy.
Mourinho had called him again and told him to report to the Valdebebas training base on time after the summer break.
In other words, Real Madrid had rejected Milan's negotiation on buying out his contract.
While his mood settled down, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
"Perhaps, I should leave something more for this city."
When he and his teammates thanked the enthusiastic Milan fans as usual, Li Ang also set a small goal for himself before leaving the team.
"Do your best to help Milan win the domestic double this season!"
Damn, I only slept for four hours last night, and I actually fell asleep while typing just now!
