San Siro Stadium, the second match of the Champions League group stage, Milan faced Manchester City at home. Before the game, many people were optimistic about Milan. After all, Milan is known as a team with "Champions League genes", and everyone believed that Manchester City still lacked experience.
List also went to the San Siro Stadium in Milan to watch the game. On the other side were Galliani and Mubarak, while List sat with Bronzetti. Bronzetti is the winner of all three clubs in Serie A, Juventus
, Inter Milan and Milan have huge connections. He is also a Milan transfer expert.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."
"Milan is not the Milan it was back then."
Riester shook his head. Ever since Berlusconi didn't invest much money in Milan, Milan has slowly become a celebrity. Speaking of those days, Milan was also majestic in European football and created the Milan dynasty.
Even after entering the 21st century, it has won two Champions League championships. It is a very outstanding club.
At its peak, there were a lot of top players, and there were many world-class players from the defense to the frontcourt. Unfortunately, Berlusconi, the owner, did not support it, and now Milan has completely become an elderly club. Take a look at the players who played in this game.
Center back Nesta is 33 years old and Kaladze is 31 years old. Of course, for a center back, they are not too old and can be considered reasonable.
But look at Milan’s midfield and frontcourt. Ambrosini is 32 years old, Pirlo is 30 years old, Seedorf is 33 years old, and Inzaghi is 36 years old. There are only two people the same age in the midfield and frontcourt.
He is less than thirty years old.
One is Flamini, who is 25 years old, and the other is talented striker Pato, who is 20 years old. Seven of the Milan players who played today are over 30 years old. Among the giants in European football, Milan
The main players are the oldest.
"Yes. Milan has only sold good players in recent years and has not introduced many outstanding players."
Bronzetti nodded. Starting from Shevchenko until the sale of Kaká last summer, Milan no longer has any superstars. Although Pato is very strong, when he emerged, Milan
Fans regard him as their savior. Although it can be seen that Pato has amazing talent, it can also be seen that Milan really does not have superstars like Shevchenko and Kaká. They can only place their hope on little guys like Pato.
child.
In recent years, Milan has really not made any big moves. The biggest move is probably the introduction of Ronaldinho from Barcelona. However, when Ronaldinho left Barcelona, his condition was already in a mess. With Meng II,
Compared to Ronaldinho, his power is probably less than half.
"Leonardo is not a great coach either."
After watching it for a while, Lister did not have a high opinion of Leonardo. Although Leonardo's performance in leading Milan last season was not very bad, Lister's opinion of Leonardo was very low.
"Not as good as Coach Ancelotti."
Leonardo and Bronzetti still have a lot of friendship. After all, when Leonardo was playing football, Bronzetti was also Milan's transfer consultant. Therefore, Bronzetti still left Leonardo face.
Riester didn't speak, but just looked at the situation on the field.
Leonardo does lack a major general. But his ability to use troops is also very problematic. Leonardo's current midfielder still has Pirlo as the core. But it is actually a pseudo-core. Leonardo has more
The forward penetration opportunity was given to Ambrosini. Then the organization of the frontcourt was given to Seedorf. Pirlo seemed to be the core, but he was more of a defensive midfielder with Flamini.
It might have been okay before, but now Seedorf's physical strength is declining rapidly. When he was excellent in the past, almost no one could stop the dribbling. His dribbling ability is very good. Unfortunately, the 33-year-old Seedorf is now
His physical strength is simply not at the same level as when he was young, and it would be difficult to maintain his incredible dribbling ability when faced with strong defensive players.
Even if Pirlo doesn't let him attack, his defensive ability is not bad. Pirlo is a player who truly relies on consciousness to defend, and his positional sense is very good. But Leonardo lets him play a player like Flamini.
Defending like that simply buries his offensive and defensive talents.
Anyway, the current Milan midfielder seems to have no rhythm at all and no clear direction. It feels like playing wherever you go.
"Seedorf, Yaya Toure is holding him up. The 26-year-old Yaya Toure's physical strength is obviously better than Seedorf's. Seedorf can no longer get rid of Yaya Toure."
Because the core of Manchester City's midfield is Modric, Yaya Toure's offensive organizational ability has been temporarily suppressed. But when he suppresses his offensive power and concentrates on defense, his defensive ability is definitely the best in European football.
One of the best.
With Yaya Toure's height of 1.9 meters, his defense is very similar to that of Arsenal's iron waist Vieira. They both have long legs and a large defensive area. It is very difficult to break through one-on-one. Plus
Shang Yaya Toure's body is very strong. Once he gets close to him, he can't get away from him.
"Seedorf, he can't get rid of Yaya Toure. Seedorf, Ambrosini comes up to support. Seedorf, pass the ball!"
In the past, this kind of thing was done by Pirlo. Pirlo is not only the core of the midfield organizer, but this kind of forward connection is also Pirlo's specialty. Wait for the connection, and then organize the attack again.
But now Leonardo thinks that Pirlo is not explosive enough. This kind of series and forward penetration is left to Ambrosini. Seedorf saw Ambrosini, so he quickly handed the ball to Ambrosini.
Brossini, because Seedorf is not sure that he can get rid of Yaya Toure.
But just as Seedorf passed the ball, someone rushed up from behind and intercepted the ball.
"Modric, Modric stole the ball."
In fact, like Pirlo, Modric's defense relies on consciousness. Modric's body is thin, so it is impossible for him to defend like Yaya Toure one-on-one. Moreover, Modric's defensive face cannot be
Compared with a defensive midfielder like Yaya Toure, Modric's strength is positional awareness.
Just as Yaya Toure came up to pester Seedorf, Modric retreated to protect the defense. But Modric has been paying attention to the movement of Milan players. As the core of the midfield organizer, these are necessary. Therefore, when Ambrosi
When Ni came up, Modric had already judged the thoughts of the Milan players. So he immediately took a step forward, waited for Seedorf to pass the ball, and directly intercepted Seedorf's ball.
"Modric handed the ball to Silva. Silva picked it up with his right foot, and Silva passed Flamini."
Flamini is a defensive midfielder with strong running ability and good one-on-one defense. Of course, he also has a big shortcoming, that is, his positional sense is not very good. This time he came to defend Silva fiercely, but Xi
Silva moved the ball to the right with his right foot and shook the rushing Flamini. Then Silva passed the ball directly.
Silva is excellent at controlling the ball and dribbling, but under normal circumstances he will not dribble for the sake of dribbling. On the contrary, Silva likes to pass the ball very much, and his passing power is very penetrating.
"Tevez, Tevez on the left got the ball. Abate is following Tevez, Tevez has good speed... Tevez enters the penalty area and passes the ball!"
Tevez may not be short in stature, but he has a very stable chassis and a lot of physical strength. He is not afraid of ordinary collisions. In terms of physical strength, Torres, Silva, Modric and other players are not Tevez's.
opponent.
Therefore, Abate used various small movements and body to interfere with Tevez, but Tevez was not afraid at all. While confronting Abate, he continued to dribble the ball into the penalty area. But after seeing Nesta assisting in defense, Tevez
Instead of continuing to rush in, he passed the ball with his left foot.
"Silva, Silva missed the ball... Modric, Modric passed the ball with his left foot!"
When Tevez's pass came over, Silva did not catch the ball when facing Flamini, but gave way slightly and let the ball pass. Modric can shoot directly with the ball, but at this time
We can see Pirlo's ability. Pirlo had a good sense of position and prevented Modric from shooting. However, Modric did not shoot when he received the ball, but continued to pass the ball lightly with his left foot.
The ball was passed to the right.
In fact, in the blink of an eye, Tevez's pass passed Silva, and then passed Modric to the right.
"Yaya Toure, there is no one to defend this position...Yaya Toure, shoot!"
Milan's midfielder is really out of control. Just now Yaya Toure was defending Seedorf, but when Modric stole the ball, Yaya Toure also ran up. Originally Seedorf should have followed Yaya.
Toure, but Seedorf is not only inferior to Yaya Toure in terms of speed, but also inferior to Yaya Toure in terms of physical strength.
If Seedorf and Yaya Toure run up and down like this, they will have to take a break at halftime. Therefore, there are no defensive players around Yaya Toure at all, allowing Yaya Toure to shoot easily.
"Yaya Toure, who Manchester City introduced from Barcelona for more than 30 million euros this season, opened the scoring for Manchester City. Everyone said that Real Madrid and Milan will appear in this group, but looking at Manchester City's performance in this game, this group
A veritable team of death.”
Yaya Toure was very excited after seeing the goal. From Barcelona to Manchester City, countless newspapers scolded Yaya. Toure came to Manchester City because of money. Of course, it was impossible for him to come to Manchester City without the money factor, but he
He also wants to achieve some results in Manchester City. With a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds, he is also under pressure. Although it is the Champions League group stage, this goal is still a very important goal. Of course he is extremely excited. (
