Chapter 64 Now, the Sky in Italy Is Red and Black

In terms of the schedule, Milan has had sufficient preparation time for the last two rounds of the league.

Before the last round against Fiorentina, Milan had a week of preparation time.

Before the start of this round of the game against Sampdoria, Milan also had five days to rest and prepare.

Although the preparation time is two days less than the last round, the Milan players are more relaxed and no longer have the tension before the game against Fiorentina.

After all, compared with Fiorentina, Sampdoria, which is currently ranked third from the bottom in Serie A, has nothing to say about its strength.

The number of goals conceded is the least among the relegation teams, and it can probably be ranked in the middle of Serie A, but Sampdoria's offense is too bad.

After 32 rounds of the league, Sampdoria has only scored 26 goals, only higher than Barry, the current deputy leader of Serie A.

With this kind of offensive firepower, if Milan does not make mistakes, it may not be afraid of letting Sampdoria attack the midfield for a whole game.

However, after facing the gap in hard power between the enemy and our team, Milan's coaching staff did not dare to easily ignore a fact.

That is, the closer it gets to the end of the season, the more likely the relegation team will perform exceptionally well.

So at the pre-match press conference, Allegri once again expressed his "respect" for Sampdoria.

The meaning is very clear.

Milan will go all out to complete the next round of the league, value Sampdoria as an opponent, and respect Sampdoria's pursuit of relegation.

There is no contempt, everyone will win based on their own abilities, anyway, there is no grudge between the clubs, and there can still be more friendly communication after the game.

After these words, Sampdoria's players and fans wanted to create a tense atmosphere before the game to stimulate their potential, but they couldn't create it.

Uncle囧's attitude is so "kind", and the Milan club has given enough "respect". Are the two teams really going to fight like enemies?

No way!

"Go all out for the next game, but there's no need to make things so tense before the game. We have no grudges against Milan."

"Respect is mutual. If we still lose to Milan after trying our best, I think we can also give Milan applause. They are indeed the best team in Serie A this season."

"After playing against Milan, there are still five rounds of league games to go. I think we can strategically give up this round of league. The game against Milan consumes too much energy. Why not put our energy and physical strength into more certain games?"

"Three points are important. We now need to get enough points in more certain games. I don't think fighting against Milan is a wise choice."

When Sampdoria fans said in an interview that they had changed their views on this round of league.

Allegri and Milan's coaching staff finally smiled knowingly.

It's enough to have such a pre-match atmosphere.

At least, Sampdoria will not treat Milan as their mortal enemy and do desperate sniping.

In this case, Milan can think about how to quickly take down Sampdoria from the simplest tactical level.

After the work became much easier, Milan successfully completed all the preparations on the afternoon of April 15.

On April 16, as a large number of sports reporters poured into Milan, the atmosphere of the "final battle" became increasingly strong around San Siro.

Even if Milan wins today's game, it will have to wait until the 37th round of Serie A, after the home game with Cagliari, to officially hold the cup and hold the award ceremony.

But the anxious Milan fans can't wait that long.

From the early morning of the 16th, the streets of Milan were full of Milan fans wearing red and black striped shirts and carrying the "Serie A Championship Trophy" and walking in groups.

It is conceivable how many fake league trophies will appear in the San Siro Stadium tonight.

The players can't hold the cup for the time being, but these fans can.

In addition to this year's time, Milan fans who have been away from the league championship for almost seven years are eager to taste the taste of holding the cup and celebrating again!

When it was just getting dark in the evening, it was obviously still a long time before the game started.

Milan fans lined up outside the San Siro Stadium early.

When the players from both Milan and Sampdoria appeared in the stadium to warm up.

The almost full San Siro Stadium and the huge cheers in the stadium shocked the players of both teams.

The Sampdoria players naturally felt more pressure.

On the Milan side, whether it was the big guys or the young players, all they had left in their hearts was gratitude for the fans' enthusiastic support.

When the game was about to start, Allegri said nothing, but opened the door of the locker room in advance.

Let the players sit in the locker room and listen to the passionate songs of Milan fans over and over again.

This is the best way to mobilize, there is no better.

Gattuso saw that there was little time left, and shouted and rushed out of the locker room, and the other starting Milan players also followed with high morale.

Allegri breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had done all the preparations that could be made before the game.

Now, let time take care of the results.

He believes that his players will bring a perfect "final battle" to all the Rossoneri.

He also believes that these players will not let him down.

Winning the championship today is just in time!

※※※

At 20:45 on the evening of April 16, San Siro Stadium.

Accompanied by the shocking and enthusiastic cheers, the 33rd round of the Serie A between Milan and Sampdoria officially started!

Allegri was just as he said in the press conference before the game.

In order to express his respect for Sampdoria, he directly sent out a starting lineup that was used most in the second half of the league:

Goalkeeper Abbiati.

Antonini, Thiago Silva, Nesta, and Zambrotta all started on the back line.

Pirlo was delayed, Leon and Gattuso were on both sides of the midfield, and Boateng rushed forward as a front midfielder.

The double striker Ibrahimovic partnered with Pato.

This is a complete "all-out effort"!

At the beginning of the game, when Sampdoria launched an offensive test, Milan also changed its previous calm defensive habits and actively launched pressure and pressing!

Their pressing at this time is not just to win back the ball and strengthen the defense.

They want to launch a quick offensive on the spot.

Milan wants to win this game with offense!

Sampdoria obviously didn't expect Milan to play so aggressively in the opening stage. After all, this is inconsistent with the usual style of "囧式 Milan".

Palumbo is still a relatively clear-headed player in Sampdoria, and he quickly organized his midfield partners to shrink the formation and defend first.

But today Milan put Pato on to avoid too much confrontation and entanglement with Sampdoria in the midfield.

In the sixth minute of the first half, Li Ang, who had seized the ball, quickly pushed the ball back to Pirlo who was advancing.

And the next moment, Master Pi raised his foot and sent a sharp long pass after observing.

If Walter hadn't jumped early and deviated the ball from its trajectory, Pato, who was speeding up in the backcourt of Sampdoria, would have almost received the ball and penetrated the opponent's defense!

The Sampdoria defender, still in shock, quickly reminded his teammates to concentrate.

But just two minutes later, Pirlo used the same trick to pass through Sampdoria's midfield and pass the ball directly to Ibrahimovic on the other side.

This time, Sampdoria midfielder Coman, who was chasing back, did not have as good luck as Walter.

Ibrahimovic did not have a chance to run out of a single shot, but he also used his technical and physical advantages to control the ball steadily before Coman.

After a half-turn, Ibrahimovic attracted the defensive firepower and passed the ball to the forward Boateng.

And Boateng directly chose to adjust his pace and fired hard at a distance of about 28 meters from the goal!

To be honest, at this moment, many Milan fans spit out swear words.

Even Allegri was "ejected" from the coaching seat in anger.

But he had just finished the first half of the sentence, and the word "shit" had not yet erupted from his mouth.

The football flashed a shadow and hit the crossbar of Sampdoria and bounced into the goal. Allegri quickly changed his mouth shape!

"You did a great job! That's how it should be shot! Beautiful!"

Excited Allegri grabbed the equally excited assistant coach beside him and celebrated by circling on the side of the court.

Boateng, who had just scored a shocking goal, also took off his jersey excitedly, and then ran wildly near the baseline waving his jersey!

Amid the tsunami-like cheers from the scene, Li Ang held his forehead and grinned in surprise and joy.

The diehard Milan fans in the south stand of San Siro lit red fireworks.

Soon, the sky above San Siro was filled with crimson smoke.

In the gap where teammates in the frontcourt were still celebrating wildly and the game had not yet started again.

Li Ang walked to Pirlo, who was also standing with his hands on his waist and looking at the celebrating crowd in the frontcourt, and skillfully put his arm around his shoulder.

"Andrea, look." Li Ang smiled and pointed to the sky above the stadium, and said to Pirlo, "Now, the sky of Italy is red and black."

Done!

Ah, I feel that my fighting power has dropped a lot. I have only finished 30,000 words.

It seems that I still need to save more manuscripts in the future. Yes, I need to save more!

After completing the minimum goal, the foodie finally felt at ease.

Sleep!
