Football red and black years

The 2002-2003 season is extremely important to the history of the entire football world. Many games that will affect the history of world football in the future are staged in this season.

But at present, the opponents in the first round of the group stage are really not friendly to Milan.

In the first round of the group stage, Milan's three opponents were the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich, and Deportivo, who had just snatched the Copa del Rey from Real Madrid. Difficult opponents, it can be said that the death group is not an exaggeration.

But the results of Group G were extremely chaotic.

Milan first won all four games in the first four games, beating Bayern and Lens 2:1, and then beat Deportivo 4:0.

But then Milan seemed to be bewitched, losing 1:2 to Bayern, Lens and Deportivo three times.

It stands to reason that Milan should be dangerous to qualify, right?But no, as the overlord of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich played six games and only won one game. In the remaining five games, they were tied by Lens twice, and then lost to Deportivo in both rounds. Lost to Milan 2:1.

Bayern suffered three losses, two draws and one win, and was at the end of the group just like Lens, and was directly eliminated from the group.

In the end, Deportivo and Milan struggled hand in hand to qualify.

After the first round of the group stage, the next match will be at the end of November, and the next thing to pay attention to is the Serie A.

In the league, Milan is currently going well, even when facing the Serie A powerhouse Lazio, they did not lose, although they were tied 1:1.

Milan has been in a good state recently. Although the rise of Pirlo has made Albertini give up the main position, the state of Redondo and Albertini has unexpectedly improved.

This gave Pirlo and Rui Costa, who were a little stressed, some time to take a breather.

In the past two years, Redon's multiple injuries have almost insulated him from the game, and Albertini has also been troubled by injuries, which makes the two of them almost have no time to rest.

Although Redondo's state is far behind that of the former Bernabéu prince, as a 33-year-old veteran, he is already considered very good.

And at present, Redondo's injury recovery is very thorough, and he can heal the injury that is enough to make people retire directly to [-]% of his physical peak. Scarlett's Milan laboratory, which has been raised with a lot of money, finally reflects its existence. value.

This also let Scarlett breathe a long sigh of relief.No way, although Milan's midfield is saturated now, only Rui Costa and Pirlo are the main players who can really take on the important task of organizers.That is to say, at least one of the two of them will go up to play a game, but if both of them are not in good condition, there will really be no replacements.

Now that the condition of Redondo and Albertini is getting better, Scarlett doesn't believe that the condition of the four of them will deteriorate at the same time.If Milan has caught up with this probability, then Scarlett thinks she can buy lottery tickets.

In fact, Redondo's recovery in time made Milan breath a sigh of relief.

This season, Milan's luck in the Champions League is really good.In the second stage of the group stage, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Lokomotiv Moscow were actually drawn.

Lokomotiv Moscow is fine, but what does it mean to draw the Bundesliga hegemon and the defending champion in two consecutive stages?

And Dortmund and Deportivo are not easy nuts to chew!

And look at what a devil's schedule it is!

On November 11, Milan played against Inter Milan at home.

On November 11, Milan played against Real Madrid at home in the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Neither of those two games was a game to give up.But if the same lineup is used for both games...

Even Ancelotti, who doesn't like rotation, thinks the picture is too beautiful for him to imagine.

The Milan Derby, the most famous Derby in the world, naturally attracted countless spectators, including the Real Madrid generals who mentioned their arrival in Milan.

On November 11, there were several disguised Real Madrid stars in the stands of Milan's neutral fans.

As for getting tickets in such a short time...

This is thanks to Rui Costa, who has a good relationship with Figo and is also the golden generation of Portugal.

Although it is only a matter of time before Kaka replaces Rui Costa's main position, Rui himself is very open about this.

Kaka is 10 years younger than him, and he couldn't expect to be able to maintain a high level of competition at the age of 34 like Maldini.

Rui Costa's contract with Milan is until 2006. He knows very well that he will basically be Kaka's substitute by the end of the 2003-2004 season at the latest. At that time, he also participated in his last European Cup. Just substitute!

Bierhoff will become Shevchenko's substitute, and the former Bernabéu prince Redondo and Italy's darling Albertini have also become Pirlo's substitutes.Rui Costa didn't think there was any problem with being a substitute. He didn't have the idea of ​​competing with time yet.

In the Milan Derby, Carlo Ancelotti came out with a 4312 lineup.

Back four:

Caladze, Costacurta, Maldini, Serginho.

Three midfielders: Redondo, Ambrosini, Brocchi.

Front waist: Kaka

Forwards: Shevchenko, Inzaghi.

If young fans look at this lineup ten years later, maybe Milan will play half of the second team against Inter Milan, but it seems that this is not the case at all.

This lineup may not be as classic as the lineup of the first and second generations of the Milan Dynasty, but now that Milan dares to use this lineup to play the Milan Derby, it can only show that this lineup is only better than the most classic lineup of the second period of the Milan Dynasty Almost there.

After all, Milan has always attached more importance to the Champions League than the league.And Scarlett is a businessman, she needs Milan's exposure more than Berlusconi.The Champions League does have more exposure than domestic leagues.

In the derby, everyone does not need to mobilize at all.

With Maldini and Zanetti shaking hands, guess the side, the game officially started.

Milan got the right to kick-off, and Shevchenko first passed the ball back to Redondo after the kick-off. Normally, to organize an attack, he would pass the ball back to Ruiscota or Pirlo.But today these two are not here, so I can only pass the ball to Redondo.

Although we haven't played a few games together, we still trained a lot of time together.At least at this time, everyone still has more confidence in Redondo.

After taking the ball, Redondo made a slight adjustment and passed the ball straight to Kaka.

After Kaka received the ball, he started quickly, and took out his long-distance attack, which was later called one of the ten scenes of San Siro. Facing the attack of the opposing defender Cordoba, Kaka accelerated and passed.Later, it was said that Kaka's dribbling speed was faster than off-ball running at his peak, which is a bit exaggerated, but now Kaka's dribbling speed is indeed almost unsolvable.

After Kaka passed Cordoba, he was about to break through to the penalty area. If he didn't steal the ball outside the penalty area, he might never be able to stop it again.

Facing the joint attack of Zanetti and Materazzi, Kaka did not get rid of them by changing direction and accelerating twice, but fortunately, although Kaka's style of play is more European, his footwork is still Brazilian.

Kaka fiddled with his heel a few times, and then changed direction again to accelerate. With the same through ball, he passed the ball to Inzaghi in front of the goal line. Inzaghi caught the ball very comfortably. Foot hit the door.

Of course, as a world-class goalkeeper, Toldo naturally has his advantages. He hit the ball very powerfully with a boxing action.

But the ball Toldo hit hit Shevchenko who didn't know when and where.

Shevchenko kicks and breaks the goal!The ball goes into the net.Only 2 minutes into the game, 1:0, AC Milan got off to a fantastic start.

Seeing this scene, the commentator said jokingly: "It seems that Shevchenko, like his striker partner Inzaghi, has learned a lot about how to live in the penalty area. Maybe Milan will live on the offside line in the future." There are only two people."

接下来的比赛让人几乎怀疑自己是不是穿越到了2000-2001赛季意甲第30轮AC米兰6：0狂屠国际米兰的比赛了。

Milan's midfielders Redondo and Brocchi completely suppressed Inter Milan's Zanetti and Di Biagio. Karadze on the left can create threats almost every time he takes the ball. Maldini and Kos on the back line Takuta freezes Vieri nicely.

Inter Milan got a chance in the 18th minute. Vieri, who made a supplementary shot, fell in the penalty area under the marking of Maldini. The bald referee Collina who enforced the Milan Derby for the sixth time believed that Maldini had not fouled.

After 1 minute, Milan made another goal. Serginho got rid of Cordoba's defense and passed the ball to Shevchenko. The gate guarded by Aldo.

Milan lead 2:0, Shevchenko scored twice.

Milan, leading by two goals, continued to aggressively attack. In the 28th minute, Ambrosini stopped the ball on the right and sent a cross with excellent lines. Serginho jumped up and headed the ball, which missed Thor. Multiple right post.Two minutes before the end of the first half, Inzaghi turned around in the penalty area and kicked the goal. Toldo made an instinctive save to resolve the shot.

Inter Milan continued to be beaten by Milan in the second half.In the 54th minute, Inzaghi took a free kick and scored directly. He intended to pass the ball, but Karadze, who was fighting for the top at the near post, interfered with Toldo's sight. The ball bounced on the ground and then rushed into the goal , Milan lead 3:0.

At this point in the game, Cooper couldn't sit still anymore. He replaced Emre, who had no sense of presence today, with Conceicao.Strengthened the midfield defense a bit.He knew that today's victory was probably hopeless.I can only try to strengthen the defense, in case of being kicked out again, it will be 6:0.The ghost knows if Moratti will let him dismiss the get out of class directly!

"And Milan is going to face Real Madrid the day after tomorrow, so AC Milan should put a little more emphasis on the Champions League, right?" Cooper thought a little uncertainly.

Ancelotti did take it easy, replacing Maldini, Shevchenko and Costacurta in the 65th, 70th and 81st minutes of the second half.There is still the Champions League to be played the day after tomorrow!Still keep a little strength!

However, even with the replacement of the three main players, Inter Milan still did not even get a draw.Only Crespo scored a goal in stoppage time to save a little face.

Little Cassie, who witnessed the whole game from the stands, said unconsciously: "Dida is so happy!" During the whole game, Dida basically stood in front of the door frame to watch the excitement, and there was no need to make any difficult moves. saves.Didn't you see that Dida was already doing radio gymnastics in front of the door to keep warm?

Sitting beside Cassie, Raul and Hierro patted Cassie's shoulder sympathetically.Fortunately for you: Ka Xiaoxi!Hierro obviously does not have the ability to grow old and strong like Maldini and Costacurta. The time he has been injured this season has obviously increased.He didn't even make the starting list for the game the day after tomorrow.

And if Makelele's state is a little bad, then Real Madrid's defense can only be saved by Cassie alone.As for the others you say?Sorry, Carlos and the others are probably forwards.

Probably because he knew that he usually cheated Cassie a lot, Carlos changed the topic a little bit embarrassed.

"Is this the kind of defense we have to face the day after tomorrow? It still looks very challenging!" Carlos said.The "Pit One Open Four" group sitting next to him nodded in agreement, but they didn't notice that Cassie's face turned darker after hearing this sentence.

"This is not the strongest defense that Milan can put out!" Zidane and Ronaldo, who had played for Juventus and Inter Milan, looked at each other and saw this sentence in each other's eyes.It is said that Juventus' defense is the best in the world.But Milan's defense is Italy's "defense" that can discriminate against other countries on the back!

Zidane and Ronaldo lamented the strength of Milan's defense, especially Ronaldo.By the way, didn't he just leave for a few months?Why has Milan's defense strengthened again?Now if Milan is determined to defend, it can completely discharge this combination: the left and right backs are composed of defenders Maldini and Nesta who can play both full-backs and central defenders.The central defenders are played by Costacurta and Cannavaro.Put Redondo, Gattuso and Seedorf on the three midfielders.This combination is a "wall of sighs" for any midfielder

So it seems that Ronaldo went to Real Madrid in a timely manner. After all, if he continues to stay in Inter Milan, he may have to fight Milan at least twice a year!If you are unlucky, you will have to meet the domestic cup and the Champions League, then it will really be a dark day to kill.

Although the derby was a big victory, the Milan players did not celebrate too much, but quickly went back to the locker room to wash and rest.The day after tomorrow we will play against Real Madrid!That is also a tough bone!

On November 2002, 11, in the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage, AC Milan and Real Madrid staged a peak duel ahead of schedule.Regarding this game, the hype of the media is no less than that of the Milan Derby the day before yesterday.Check out what titles they have come up with! ——Red and white against each other, European Derby!

There was still some time before the players entered the field, and Scarlett first met the current Real Madrid chairman Florentino and general manager Valdano in the VIP box.Of course, Scarlett also followed Galliani, Leonardo and other high-level Milan executives.

Although the outside world has hyped up this game, the relationship between Real Madrid and Milan is actually not bad.This year, when Real Madrid celebrated its centennial, Milan, except Shevchenko, who was still recovering from his injuries, went to Madrid to cheer for Real Madrid.Even Scarlett went there in person.If Milan's league in Serie A is Juventus, then the league in Europe is Real Madrid.At least in the history of the Champions League, it is not uncommon for Milan to pit Barcelona.An enemy's enemy is a friend!This sentence is universal everywhere.

And although Scarlett doesn't think much of Florentino and Moratti's "forward collection addiction", as long as Florentino is not the chairman next door, everyone can still communicate well!

Florentino still admired Scarlett very much.This is no beauty in a vase, she is a real Wall Street jackal.Scarlett and Florentino also met during Real Madrid's centennial celebration in August this year, and their ideas on business development are still quite the same.

The two generations of owners of Milan actually paid great attention to the commercial development of the team. In the 80s, China knew that Serie A games cannot be separated from Berlusconi and his media group.It's just that after Berlusconi was elected prime minister, some things were unavoidable.

But Scarlett didn't have so many scruples!The European continent does not look small, and football culture is also flourishing here.But here you have to compete for fan resources with thousands of teams, big and small!The American continent and the Asian continent have such a vast market, why not develop it well?

Both Real Madrid and Milan want to develop the American and Chinese markets.The United States is Osvia's base camp, and it would be much easier for Real Madrid to develop the U.S. market with Osvia's help.

As for the development of the Chinese market, Scarlett and Florentino had already reached a preliminary intention when Real Madrid celebrated its centennial: Since everyone plans to go to China next summer, it is not impossible to carry out joint business development.

In terms of population alone, the Chinese market has four North Americas. Even the ambitious Scarlett and Florentino have no idea of ​​monopolizing this cake.And the joint development, as long as it works well, can greatly improve the popularity of the two teams in China.

Real Madrid sent an aggressive formation here:

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas

Defenders (from left to right): Carlos, Pavon, Salgado, Elgna

Midfielders: Makelele, Figo, Zidane, Guti

Forwards: Raul, Ronaldo

Real Madrid's real defensive players are only Pavon and Makelele.

And Pavin...

Scarlett admits that Pavon's talent is not bad, but even Nesta and Maldini dare not say that at the age of 19, they can challenge Real Madrid's crappy defense. Pavin, who was born in 1984, is only 18 years old this year!

Looking at Florentino next to her, Scarlett wondered if she should remind him to buy some better defenses, leaving the 21-year-old Cassie and the 18-year-old Pavon to guard alone Is Real Madrid's defense really good?

The two sides came and went a few times, and when they got some news from each other, the players led the little caddies into the field.

Milan has formed a very defensive formation this time.In the blood of Italian football, defense is always inseparable

Maldini, Cannavaro, Costacurta and Nesta form the defense.

Pirlo partnered with Gattuso and Ambrosini as a midfielder.Seedorf and Rui Costa served as the attacking midfielder, and Shevchenko and one person served as the striker.

The two sides have exchanged ball rights countless times at the beginning of the game.

Box probably also knew that his defense was not very effective, so he made up his mind to fight against Milan.

Real Madrid is planning to use offense to suppress Milan, otherwise Real Madrid's defense will be under great pressure if there is no offensive suppression.

At the opening minute and a half, Shevchenko dribbled the ball and was blocked by Elgna, who passed the ball back to Pirlo.After receiving the ball, Pirlo passed the football diagonally to Seedorf.

After receiving the ball, Seedorf took a few steps, kicked up and shot.

The quality of this shot was good, but Cassie is worthy of being a man who can carry the defense team, flying to save the ball and holding the ball in his arms.

Real Madrid attacked from the left today,

After Seedorf's shot, the two sides grabbed the ball a few times in the midfield, and after another fight for the ball, the ball reached Figo's feet.As we all know, Figo is almost invincible on the right, otherwise he would not have the nickname of "King of the Right".But in the face of Ambrosini and Nesta's joint grabbing Figo, he can only hand over the ball.

Box looked enviously at Ancelotti standing next to him.Having such a reliable defense line is simply the dream of every head coach.With such a reliable defense line, even if Dida is not as good as Cassie, there is no need to worry too much!After all, with this line of defense, the goalkeeper is basically useless most of the time.

Both sides struggled with the ball in midfield most of the time today.However, in view of Real Madrid's cheating defense, Cassie's father has already made several difficult saves.

Except for Seedorf's opening shot, Rui Costa, Shevchenko, Ambrosini... In short, Milan's attacking players in the midfield basically have 1-N Good shot with good foot quality.Had it not been for Casey's high-level resistance, Real Madrid's gate might have been kicked into a sieve.

Although Real Madrid had a lot of offenses, except for Zidane's long shot from the midfielder, they basically did not pose a threat to the goal guarded by Dida.

In short, Cassie looked enviously at Dida who was almost doing nothing.

Galliani looked at Florentino's somewhat complacent expression, and then at Scarlett's also smiling expression—for an instant, he felt that his boss was reliable!

A boss who has no hoarding of forwards and pays attention to the defense is good news for the head coach and team manager!

Today, Real Madrid pressed heavily, and the scene was very good, but they didn't get too much power and couldn't score.Although Milan is not very popular, the possibility of scoring is much higher than that of Real Madrid.The reason why the game is still deadlocked is because Casey played exceptionally well today.And can Casey really be able to do a good 90 minutes without making any mistakes?

Florentino probably thinks that Real Madrid can often play against other teams like this, so in the past two years since he took office, Real Madrid has many more offensive players on the bench, while the defensive players have used one less. .

Although Real Madrid is not short of money like Milan, but Galliani looked at Valdano's slightly bitter expression and felt that his boss is really a peerless boss!Pay attention to the balance of offense and defense, don't buy forwards randomly, also pay attention to business development and are willing to spend money.Although the boss is more valuable to players, even a minor injury will not even allow them to enter the big list.But this is also for the sake of the players' careers!

The people in the box have different ideas, but the players on the court have much simpler ideas.That's the goal.Game No. 40 minutes after Maldini steals the ball and passes it to Rui Costa, Rui Costa took the ball a few steps forward and suddenly made a straight pass with a 60-meter rolling pass. After Vchenko received the ball, he took a few steps and scored directly before Elguera grabbed it.Cassie's line of sight was just blocked by Elguera, and it was too late to save him.This world-class goalkeeper, who will be "canonized" in the future, served as a background board in this way.

Andriy Shevchenko opened the way for the Rossoneri in the opening 40 minutes.

Milan played a quick counterattack under Real Madrid's aggressive attack, and Shevchenko advanced from the wing to the center.

Elguera did not consider his position when defending, and the distance between him and Pavon was too large.

And the quality of Rui Costa's pass is absolutely world-class.If you look at it from the perspective of God, it is easy to find the passing route on the court, but Rui Costa can accurately find the gap between Pavon and Elguera on the court, allowing Shevchenko to quickly It is not something that can be done with a comfortable kick.

Later, many young fans were not very impressed with Rui Costa, but the performance of the most expensive player in Milan history is by no means a parallel import even if it does not reach his peak.

When Rui Costa came to Milan, both Albertini and Redondo were troubled by injuries, and Pirlo was still a bit confused.For a full season, Milan's organizational offense relied entirely on Rui Costa.It can be said that Milan is still qualified to play in the Champions League this season. Rui Costa contributed a lot.

And even though Kaka has risen now, his ability to fight alone is far better than connecting midfielders.It can be said that until now, the series of Milan's audience has often relied on Rui Costa.

Shevchenko's goal speeded up the pace of the game, but until the end of the game, only Shevchenko scored the only goal of the game.

Scarlett looked at Florentino's expression when he was leaving the stage and knew what he wanted to say. Sure enough, Florentino directly asked her about Shevchenko's offer.

"The importance of Shevchenko to Milan is absolute, and he cannot be exchanged under any conditions." Scarlett said firmly.In Real Madrid, even the prince of the Bernabéu will go away to the Apennines one day, but the significance of Shevchenko to Milan and Scarlett is absolute.

It was the arrival of Shevchenko that allowed Milan to regain its former champion king's strength little by little in the post-Three Musketeers era. Shevchenko was also the beginning of Scarlett Milan's successful career.

The significance of Shevchenko to Milan is indeed second only to Maldini.

Looking at Scarlett's expression, Florentino knew that it was probably hopeless now, and there was a bit of regret in his expression.You can only look for other good strikers.

However, if the players of Real Madrid know this, they will probably be very grateful to Scarlett for her persistence. After all, Real Madrid's striker is really too crowded now.Not to mention the more complicated locker room issue.

really...

In three consecutive days, Milan defeated Inter Milan and Real Madrid successively, and did not concede a goal. It can be said that the scenery is infinite.Scarlett was already planning her trip to China in the summer of 2003 when the media was making a big deal about it.There are many industries under Osvia!Football is not the only thing to cooperate with China.

It can only be said that for the business development in Asia, the people from the Ministry of Commerce have prepared several backup plans for this.

The significance of Milan's game is far more than a Champions League group match.It marks the re-emergence of Milan, and it also officially declares that Apennines football has entered the era of "Serie A" from the "Serie A Seven Sisters" to the "Northern Three Heroes".

The author has something to say: In reality, Sheva is more important to Milan than many superstars are to Real Madrid.The arrival of Shevchenko means the rise of the last dynasty of Milan, and his departure also means the decline of the last dynasty of Milan.As for the 2006-2007 Champions League, it was just the last afterglow of the Milan dynasty.
