Not only did Zacheroni encounter problems, he also left the problems to the team members.

For example, on the court, a defender can effectively block the opponent's attack by relying on his own ability to play football in a familiar way in his habitual position. Even if Ronaldo comes, he will not let him go easily.

However, under Zacheroni's new formation, he not only had to stay in his defense zone and wait for his teammates to respond, but his teammates were far away and could not come to make up for defense in time. The opportunity was fleeting. Should he give up his defense zone and take the initiative? Or should he watch his opponent adjust the ball, pass or lead?

More importantly, if you succeed in playing one or two times according to your own style, you will inevitably doubt the head coach's decision, which will greatly reduce the coach's prestige. Over time, the players will have conflicts with the coach. By that time, one side must leave, and Milan will continue to fall into chaos.

Milan is fine now, the important first league game ends with victory.

However, the fans' requests cannot be completely ignored, especially when most fans shout so.

Everyone knows that the first game was almost won by Rossi's tenacious defense. If this continues, what's the difference between Milan or not?

A week later, Milan was visiting Salenitana.

Salernitana is located in the Italian city of Salerno, the club has been involved in Serie B and Serie C for most of its time since its establishment.

Looking at the history of Salenitana, it is mediocre and there is no trace of pride.

But for their fans, the team is now the team’s highest moment of glory!

In 1947, after the war, Salenitana was completely renewed. Not only did he change the name of the French XS, but he also changed the blue to crimson red. The team continued to work hard and played in Serie A. This was the first time the team participated in Italy's highest-end league. However, the following year, due to the referee's "care", Salenitana lost to Roma 1-0 in the third round to the end and was relegated.

After being hit hard, Salenitana could no longer cheer up. It was not until the 1993 young coach Rossi took charge and returned to Class B from Class C through the play-offs. He returned to Serie A after half a century of 8 points leading the second place last season. The main striker Divayo won the Serie B Golden Boot with 21 goals.

Against such a newly promoted team, with Milan's current strength, there is reason to do its best.

However, 90 minutes passed, and a familiar scene took place again.

After the opening, Milan took a 2-0 lead in the first half with Bierkhov's header and Leonardo's strafing.

But in the second half, the players seemed to have changed their side faces.

Salenitana, including the Italian Cup, has lost two consecutive games this season. As the champion of last season, fans don’t want to see the loss again.

The players began to give it a try, which made Milan, who still couldn't cooperate on the defensive end, become "panicked" again.

Soon, Salenitana scored a direct free kick from midfielder Breda, and put the score at 1-2.

Milan, who had only one goal left, was a little panicked again.

I wanted to score another goal to expand the advantage, but I couldn't get back to the feeling of being in the first half of the offensive; I also wanted to stabilize the defense, but the midfield and the frontcourt were out of touch, and the back and goalkeeper were always not in harmony.

In this way, the visiting team fans who were watching the game with the team watched a difficult "Milan defensive battle" in the last ten minutes of the game.

This time, both Rossi, Maldini, or Costakuta, who played in the rotation, tried his best to ensure that the goal was not lost.

In the end, Milan took three points away from the away game with his fans booed.

The home team once again became the victim and the brave man in people's eyes who almost defeated the "evil dragon"!

The Republic reported: "What is facing Zachelloni is a contradiction, whether to continue to stick to his ideals or pick up the old things again."

"When Milan encounters a strong enemy and cannot use the begging victory as a last resort to protect itself, Zacheroni must make a decision!"

Milan Sports News is also not very satisfied with Milan today: "In the second half, it became a one-man show for Salenitana, and they completely dominated the midfield. Rossi's team put a lot of pressure on AC Milan's defense, and they were unable to regain their face until in the end."

"This is not the passionate AC Milan we remember. Even though it won 2-1, Milan played very hard."

"For them, it's a tricky battle. Although Salenitana was the champion of last season, as a team with the strength to compete for the Serie A championship, it shouldn't be a result and situation."

Gradually, as such a sound came into the players' ears, some people in the locker room began to complain.

They complain that teammates on other lines did not do what they should do during the time scheduled by the coach, complained that teammates on the same line always had their own ideas, complained that they sometimes didn't know how to do it, and even complained that the coach's tactics Silk Road was not suitable for Milan.

When the voices of fans and media began to gradually affect the locker room, Zacheroni knew that he was about to retreat to the edge of the cliff. If he retreated, he would come to his first Waterloo in his coaching career.

At this moment, he needs to unite all the power that can be used.

"Hawk, tell me the truth, what's going on with him?"

As someone brought by Zacheroni, Hawke also knew very well that if Zacheroni was finished in Milan, he would be eliminated.

"Ou's performance is excellent and stable." Hawke said, scratching the back of his head, "He works hard and is very serious. After completing all the training every day, he will also train himself one-sidedly..."

"No, I want you to answer not this!" Zacheroni's voice was a little annoyed, "I will see these things, he is doing them every day, and doing them very well. What I want to ask is, how do you think he is doing in his understanding of the new formation and defense with the rest of the players, this is what I need to know!"

"He...he...he should have done a good job." Hawke stuttered a little when he answered.

"I don't want to hear that, I want to hear your exact answer!" Zacheroni stepped forward and waited for Hawke's eyes and said, "Milles, look into my eyes and answer the question I just replied."

"He..." Hawke swallowed.

One of the reasons why Zacheroni still uses Rossi so far is that in Hawke's report, although Ou Chuliang is hardworking and serious, his learning ability does not seem to be very strong, and it is difficult to understand the tactics arranged by the Italian top league coach.

Zacheroni believed it without thinking too much.

This is not a prejudice, it is the unified attitude of all Europeans in the face of Asian players. They will take it for granted that even if an Asian player performs well, they will need to spend more effort and longer to reach the current level of Europeans.

So when he learned that Ou Chuliang was "doing his best" to understand and digest his tactics, he gave Ou Chuliang enough time.

But now, fans and media have not given him much time.

Ou Chuliang was introduced from Naples, so he was to some extent considered his "direct line".

Bielhof's performance in Milan has won the respect and support of fans. Bielhof has scored 3 goals in two games and ranked first in the Serie A scorer list. Although Helvig's performance has no highlights, he is like the wind in the right back position and is the one who runs the most active.

The two players brought by Udinese have already settled in Milan. If the head coach fails, it would be too embarrassing.

Now, Milan is in a battle between the "new and the old". Zachelloni hopes to seize all the resources that can be used, "defeat" one veteran after another, and completely surrender.

Although Maldini temporarily suppressed those veterans as the captain, once Maldini no longer trusts Zacheroni, it would be too late!

Looking at Hawke's look of wanting to speak but stopping, Zacheroni blew out two waves of air from his nostrils, pushing it away.

"Tell him, if you don't manage it, it's time for him to play in the next game!"

"Okay sir." Hawke looked at Zacheroni's back and answered softly.

......

The next day, when he arrived at the Milan Sports Center, Hawke saw Ou Chuliang who was practicing far away.

Players are usually not allowed to watch when training, but there are many artificial holes in the green nylon baffle, and reporters and fans will stand behind to peep, and are ready to run away on the way where the security guards come.

Like fans, these reporters saw Bielhof. His running posture was a bit different, but his top-scoring and heading ability were world-class.

"Oh! His dribbling is really good!"

"Yes, it was cut off so easily! The shooting skills are not very good!"

Although Bierkhov was last season's Serie A Golden Boot, the Germans became a latecomer and were not selected for the German national team until they were 27 years old in 1996.

After the European Cup, Bierkhov secured the position of Germany's chief center with his header. In the era when Germany was in trouble, Bierkhov even became the captain of the German national team.

As the captain of the German team, Bierkhov left the impression that he had "extreme header strength and rough feet" to the fans. This is also why Bierkhov could not compare with Vieri, Ronaldo, Batistuta and others in terms of fame and practicality.

His feet are really bad!

Such a center has limited achievements and limited abilities!

After seeing Bierkov's header, fans and reporters turned their attention to Maldini again.

This is Milan's treasure, and so far, the only international superstar that Milan can make a comeback.

Although Via's fame and strength are not worse than Maldini, Viawu is already older, his strength is declining and gradually fading out of the main lineup. Others like Albertini, Leonardo, Costakuta, Ayala, etc. are one level worse than Maldini in terms of fame and strength!

This time, facing Boban's strafing shot, Maldini stretched out his right foot and blocked the ball out of bounds before the goalkeeper.

"Wow! This ball is blocking beautifully!"

"Yes, if the Horse Team hadn't stretched out their legs in time, this would have been a 100% goal!"

The Maldini family has run two generations in Milan. Even though Milan has achieved such a marginal result for two consecutive seasons, no one said that Maldini may leave Milan!

Through the efforts of two generations, "Maldini" has been on par with Milan in some aspects. They have experienced glory together, and now they have overcome difficulties together. Even in public, Maldini would proudly say to the media: "When Maldini grows up, I will still let him play for Milan!"

Bang!

The muffled sound from the court attracted people's attention.

This was a "unqualified" shot from midfielder Ibrahim Ba. He originally wanted to kick, but he didn't know the angle. After the ball was kicked out, he hit the turf hard.

However, he was hit by a mistake. This ball that bounced up again six or seven meters in front of the goal is almost impossible for the goalkeeper to save. Because the goalkeeper needs to use his back to force himself up again when he has already landed to save the game. This is something that many goalkeepers can never accomplish in their lifetime!

But in the end, Ou Chuliang did it.

People could see clearly that he used another method: before the ball bounced up, Ou Chuliang held the ball firmly in his arms.

People saw his successful save, but they didn't see how he did it.

Only Hawke understood that Ou Chuliang's position before save was the key.

For most goalkeepers, it is not difficult to save such a ball from that position. The difficulty is that few goalkeepers choose to stand there before saving.

When lying on the turf again, Ou Chuliang also felt the joy in his heart. This feeling is only available to the goalkeeper, which is a feeling that he will only have after successfully completing the save that he does not have much confidence.

"This ball is so beautiful!"

"Yes, China Europe actually hugged the ball firmly. I thought he would block the bottom line!"

In the eyes of fans and reporters, Ou Chuliang is just a new star who has just emerged in the World Cup. Most of his fame comes from the "CP" composed of the World Cup and Ronaldo, which inevitably leads to him being a "very prettier" player.

Napoli’s season cannot prove anything, and winning the game against Juventus was not a goal scored by Ou Chuliang.
