In the next few days, we discussed following the Liaoning Football Team members when we were fine. When the Milan winter training team was looking for Li Shing to train, we discussed following us.

Everyone is commonplace. People join here every day and people leave every day until the transfer window closes.

Some people are for a contract, and some are for Zacheroni's recommendation letter.

Many people here envy those Chinese players, after all, they have "organizations".

Now that the winter training team has added another Eastern Conference, this is no longer a strange thing.

Li Yun was as calm as ever in defense, and the negotiations were as flexible as ever in offense.

Front court players and back court players have the opportunity to show themselves accordingly. When Li Hui and Deliberate to form a connection between the two, there is another brand new scenery on the winter training ground.

Another weekend, Zacheroni led the team to Bologna.

In addition to Turin, there are three football cities of Milan and Genoa, Bologna is the best team in Serie A.

After a series of glory, Bologna faced bankruptcy in the 1992-93 season. Fortunately, local entrepreneur Gazoni took over the team, which allowed the team to be preserved.

After resolving the survival crisis, Bologna invited the only coach in Italian football with the title of professor, Lunzo Ulivieri, to coach. Under his training, Bologna completed a triple jump and returned to Serie A in the 1996-97 season.

Last season, after Ulivieri successfully retreated, the new coach Mazoni led the team to win the international championship and also qualified for the UEFA Cup this season. It can be said that with the style of the Serie A small World Cup, Bologna almost came to glory again!

Shortly after the game began, Milan established its offensive position.

Especially Bierkhov, who has scored 13 goals this season, still targets the best scorer.

His strong body and superb heading skills are his magic weapons for survival. Boban also hangs the ball into the penalty area again and again to help his teammates complete goals.

Bologna, who has a "veteran club", is a team that seeks stability in Serie A. Their style and style are relatively conservative. They mainly focus on defensive counterattacks and have few offensive combinations in the frontcourt. They are one of the clubs with fewer goals in Serie A.

Such clubs have a large home and away game contrast, and home games are the key to ensuring the team's performance. Therefore, Milan encountered quite a few obstacles in today's game.

In the 4th minute, Bierkhov got the ball in the middle of the penalty area and knocked away the opponent's defender and tried to force a shot, but was blocked by other defenders who rushed over in time and out of the baseline.

Soon Bologna reunited with color. Sigrino and Anderson collided continuously in the middle to cooperate. The latter sent a straight pass. Although the ball was a bit fast, Sigrino still caught up and pushed the ball, and the ball was blocked by Ou Chuliang with his palm.

"Don't let them come over easily!"

Ou Chuliang is still very worried about his teammate's defense. An ordinary counterattack can cause a shot. With more times like this, he cannot guarantee that he will not make mistakes.

In the 18th minute, Milan sent a long pass from the backcourt and directly looked for Wei'a in front. Wei'a easily removed the ball and rushed along the sideline with the opponent's sideback. But after only a few meters, he stopped by stepping on the ball, pushing his left foot gently, and choosing to pass the ball back to his teammate behind him.

Albertini seemed a little unwilling to give up the attack this time. He kicked the ball into the Bologna penalty area with one shot. However, the home team defender was ready, and he swung the ball back with a header.

Bobanca hit the top in front of the penalty area, but was knocked down by the Bologna, winning a chance to have a free kick in the frontcourt.

The free kick was about 26 meters away from the goal, and it was on the right side of the middle. Boban stood in front of the goal himself, and he was the first penalty kicker in the set-piece. As long as he was on the court, no one in Milan would compete with him.

Boban observed in front of the wall for a long time, and the opponent's goalkeeper had no blind spots in the layout of the wall, and there was almost no gap at all.

After the whistle sounded, Boban took a deep breath and started running. He twisted his ankle sharply and kicked a curved ball in front of everyone. The ball had a strong arc, and in a blink of an eye it passed by the top of the wall and headed towards the far post of the goal.

Bologna goalkeeper Antonioli tried his best to stretch his body, but he still did not stop the ball from entering the net.

Swish!

Milan took the lead 1-0 away game.

"Yo! So beautiful!"

"It's worthy of being Boban. It's been a long time since Boban scored such a wonderful free kick!"

"One, another, another!!!"

The fans were very happy, but Zacheroni on the sidelines smiled bitterly.

Baresi, who was dressed in disguise in the stands, also saw the clues. While celebrating, he said to his friends beside him: "...Via is old and really can't move... Everyone knows that defending Oliver is equivalent to defending the entire Milan. Milan needs fresh blood in offense... You can't just rely on Boban's set-piece goal. This is too lucky, the players are in a state..."

The second half of the game changed sides and the home team took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Oscar replaced Pacino, replaced a midfielder and replaced a forward.

After Pacino came up, Bologna strengthened the attack on the flank. Anyway, Milan played the formation of three central defenders, and the cross from the flank was the most appropriate way to score.

It is indeed difficult for the three central defenders who are crowded in the penalty area to take into account the wing. After the home team changed their playing style, Milan quickly fell into a passive position.

"That guy Mazoni is very cunning. He just likes our central defender and will not retreat to the back line." Zacheroni had a headache. Mazoni is not the first opponent coach to do this, nor will he be the last. 343 is not just a parallel position. If there is a player who drags the back and can change to a central defender at any time, he can change the formation to 433 at any time. In this way, it will be much easier to play on the two outside guards to pull the side and become a full-back, and then defend the opponent.

Instead of being like now, the opponent's full-back can almost always make a cross, and then clear the ball out of the penalty area with headers from Maldini and others or Ou Chuliang's attack.

That would be too dangerous. Any mistake or a deviation in cooperation between the defender and the goalkeeper will allow the home team to score a goal to equalize the score.

In the 78th minute, in order to make up for the loopholes behind his teammates, Ambrosini had to pull down the home team's forward. For this reason, he won the fourth yellow card of the season.

"Another yellow card..." Zacheroni patted his shiny head, "This means that he can't play next game..."

When a starting player is unable to play again, the head coach feels that it is not a headache. Either it means he is not important, or it means that no one in his position is important...

Fortunately, with 10 minutes left in the end of the game, Milan once again expanded the score with the frontcourt set piece.

This time it was a left corner kick. Bielhof received a header from Boban at the back post, and pushed the ball in the opposite direction of Antonioli, scoring.

In the end, Milan defeated his opponent 2-0 away and won four consecutive wins in the New Year.

At the post-match press conference, Zachelloni did not give much praise to the victory.

"We played well and our opponents played well, but we were lucky, so we won."

"Mr. Alberto, what do you mean by luck?" the reporter asked in depth.

"Of course it was a goal." Zhaqi Ronnie was not vague. "Our two goals came from set pieces. Although I would urge the players to grasp the set pieces during training, this is not our main offensive method."

"If we attack according to the offensive method set by the team, we don't need a set piece to break through the opponent's goal, and the set piece will only add icing on the cake."

"There are rumors that AC Milan is going to introduce Moroccan striker Henry. Is Mr. Alberto waiting for his arrival?" the reporter asked again.

"No, the team already has a strong center like Oliver, and Henry's position will overlap with him."

"At present, Milan cannot rely on Boban to pass the ball to Oliver alone, but also needs other offensive points and breakthrough points..."

"There is news that you are interested in the Chinese team that trains in Milan, aren't it? There are rumors that you want to bring in a striker from which team?"

"No, I have never said that, nor have I ever said the opposite." Zachelloni denied, "That is indeed a team with good strength and can rank in the middle and upper reaches in Serie B. But they also have domestic leagues to compete next season, so their main striker will not be sold."

"So that's what it is..." The reporters in the audience muttered. According to the rumors I received before, they thought Milan would select a striker from Liaoning Football this season to supplement the team. But looking at Zacheroni's performance today, it didn't look like he was lying at all.

Did we get the news wrong?

Looking at the whispering reporters in the audience, Zacheroni also wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Without Galliani's nod, he would not dare to say that he was interested in any Chinese player, and it might be counterproductive.

It's right that he is a Chinese striker, but he is not a member of Liaoning Football Team. It seems that it's not a lie to the media!

As soon as he returned to the locker room, Zacheroni received a call. He answered it and heard it was Galliani's call.

"The team has played well recently. Come to my office tomorrow..." Galliani said just one sentence and hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone call "Di...Di...Di...Di, Zacheroni's heart suddenly became hot.

These days, many things have come into his mind. What he wants most now is to combine these scattered plans and recreate a complete blueprint.

......

The 18th round of the league has passed, Milan has 10 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses and Lazio's points, but because of the goal difference, it is only one victory away from Fiorentina, which has 12 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses.

When there was only one game left, fans finally saw hope for the championship.

Whether it is Florence or Lazio, both have European wars to fight.

They have emerged from the European group stage and entered the knockout stage. Such a high-intensity one-week double game will exhaust the players.

Multi-line combat is the most challenging whether a team has the potential to be a wealthy family. If both sides are not well grasped, they may be in vain.

And then, it was Milan's opportunity!

For a time, fans began to expect the team to play the top Fiorentina. After calculating the schedule, they could visit Rome and challenge the leader in another game.

The first game in the second half won, and the Milan Sports Daily also published an article praising the team.

"The stable victory allows fans to see the dawn of winning the championship again."

"Overall, Milan's performance in the first half of the round was not very good, but compared to other championship seed teams, they did have the upper hand in the league."

"Among both the championship seed teams, Milan lost to Fiorentina and Parma in the first half of the league, but defeated Inter Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Roma. Even if Fiorentina, which is currently at the top of the list, he is not better than Milan!"

"Every spring is the most intense day to compete for the championship. Whether Milan can continue its four-game winning streak and whether it can last until the end is what Milan fans are most looking forward to in the new year."

At eight o'clock the next morning, Zacheroni appeared in Galliani's office on time in a suit and tie.

Unlike the previous two times, this time he was full of confidence. Because he was not alone, Baresi had been waiting for him aside.

"Sit, Alberto." Galliani pointed casually.

Zacheroni tidied up his clothes and sat down calmly on the chair.

"Alberto, you really surprised me. I didn't expect you to move Franco."

"No, Mr. Galliani, I am not a lobbyist for Mr. Alberto. I am just objectively explaining a fact. As a former member of Milan, I cannot watch the talents who originally belong to Milan run to the opposite side!"

This incident was indeed a bit transcendent for Baresi, but no one doubted his own loyalty to Milan.

What's more, China is thousands of miles apart from here, and those Chinese players have no commercial exchanges with Baresi, so naturally there is no interest in this.

After thinking through all these links, Galliani had to seriously consider whether these two people were really in the professional field of Milan paving the way.
