In September, the city of Milan has also entered autumn.

The crisp autumn air makes people feel very comfortable.

In this season where the joy of harvest and the sadness of withering coexist, Chang Ming has already felt the slightest chill in advance.

In the second half of last season, Chang Ming has become an indispensable member of AC Milan.

Even if he doesn't start every game, he is still the number one player in the rotation.

In the double match of the week, he ranked first in the team in the number of appearances.

I thought that after Pirlo left AC Milan, he would have more opportunities.

But the actual situation is exactly the opposite.

Although Pirlo left, Chang Ming's position in the team has declined somewhat.

Even in the midfield rotation, he has been ranked in the middle and back position.

Allegri's starting lineup is now gradually fixed.

Four midfielders.

Gattuso is in charge, Boateng is advancing, and captain Ambrosini and Van Bommel are in the center.

If these four people are in good health, they will be the main force.

Behind them is new aid Aquilani.

Next up is Dutch veteran Seedorf.

After that, there are new aids Nocerino and Chang Ming.

If the team changes to 4-3-3 and one player is removed from the midfield, Chang Ming's appearance sequence will continue to move backward.

The front four are still in good shape this season.

Ibrahimovic, Pato, Cassano, Robinho.

The four top forwards are basically the main force in any team, but in Milan they can only compete for the main position.

This can't help but remind people of the scene many years ago when Kaká, Rui Costa, Rivaldo and other players competed for the No. 10 position.

In the wealthy AC Milan, this kind of competition is extremely cruel.

In addition to these four forwards, veteran Inzaghi has rich experience and newcomer El Shaarawi has strong impact.

The two of them are also eagerly looking forward to the opportunity to play.

The midfield and frontcourt lineup are full, and Chang Ming's playing opportunities have been reduced a lot compared to last season.

But Chang Ming had already anticipated this.

How can it be so easy to play in a wealthy club?

Barcelona is under great pressure from competition, and AC Milan is not far behind.

It would be great to get a chance to compete here.

In the next few league games, Chang Ming steadily appeared on the bench.

Allegri often replaced Chang Ming when Van Bommel was running out of energy or making tactical adjustments.

However, even if Chang Ming is replaced, Chang Ming can rarely play the position of organizational midfielder.

Defensive midfielder and right midfielder are his most common positions.

You can't get the position you want, and you don't have enough starting opportunities.

This season, Chang Ming felt the cold winter first than anyone else.

But even so, Chang Ming still trained hard.

Even in AC Milan where the training intensity is extremely intense, Chang Ming still practices extra every morning and evening.

Allegri saw all these efforts.

At the end of the day's training, Chang Ming walked out of the locker room after taking a shower. Allegri was waiting at the club gate and specifically stopped Chang Ming.

"Ming, do you have time? I want to chat with you for a while."

"Good coach."

Chang Ming got on Allegri's car and said with a smile: "Coach, you helped me save the bus fare again."

"You, young man, are you kidding me? You are so rich and why don't you buy a car?"

"I don't really like driving. I still like riding in the car or running."

"Why?"

"Because I can think about something quietly, I like this feeling of thinking alone."

"Well, you have a point."

The two chatted intermittently, and Allegri deliberately slowed down.

Chang Ming extended the invitation again: "Coach, if you have nothing to do tonight, come and sit at my place and try the Chinese cuisine I cook."

"Thank you for the invitation, but my wife has already prepared dinner. I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter. Let's meet again next time you have time."

After a moment of silence, Allegri suddenly laughed.

"Coach, what's wrong with you?"

"Ming, do you know why I don't go to your place?"

"Didn't you say that your wife had prepared dinner?"

"This is one reason, and there is another reason."

“Don’t you like Chinese food?”

"Haha, you, a young man, said that on purpose."

Chang Ming smiled slightly and did not comment.

Allegri drove the car, took a gentle breath, and spoke slowly.

"Since this season, your chances of playing have been reduced a lot, especially in the starting lineup, not once.

"This is my arrangement, it's all my arrangement and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

"Sometimes I think, when you came to Milan, I promised you a lot.

“This season, it hasn’t materialized.

"I think you must be feeling uncomfortable.

"Under such circumstances, how can I have the nerve to go to your house to have a meal, haha."

Allegri drove the car and glanced at Chang Ming while looking at the rearview mirror.

Chang Ming looked at him seriously, expressionless.

After hearing these words, I didn't have much reaction.

After a while, Chang Ming spoke, his voice was very calm and calm.

Same as usual.

"Coach, the situations you just mentioned do exist.

“I do feel a little uncomfortable because I didn’t get more opportunities this season.

"However, I can understand. True understanding does not mean being polite to you."

Allegri was stunned: "Oh? Can you understand?"

Chang Ming nodded and continued.

“Now the team is full of experts and its competitiveness is no less than any super giant.

"You are a very enterprising coach and I enjoy working with a coach full of hope like you.

"We won the Serie A title last season, and this season we are looking forward to defending the league title and dreaming of the Champions League.

"Now the competition for the main lineup of the team is fierce, and we need to work hard to get the bench positions.

"Last season, although I performed well in some games, I was still far from Pirlo.

"Not to mention Pirlo, even Van Bommel is two levels higher than me, I know that very well.

"And everyone else has great advantages.

"Ambrosini is the captain of the team and has great energy.

"Aquilani is a member of the Italian national team and has a good understanding with many Milan players. This is his advantage.

"The same goes for Nocerino.

"And Seedorf is a star player who won the championship easily. Although he is older, he is full of experience and will be of great help to Milan.
