Golden Greenery

This is the 266th Milan Derby. Previously, AC Milan had the upper hand with 104 wins, 72 draws and 89 losses. This is also the first time that the Milan Derby is held in the afternoon, in order to facilitate the live broadcast during prime time in distant East Asia. This is the old captain Maldini's 600th Serie A game and his 52nd derby.

This week is also the centenary anniversary of the founding of Inter Milan. A hundred years have passed by like a fleeting moment, and two world wars have broken out. How many huge empires have disappeared in the dust of history, but football is still football.

Inter Milan has been undefeated in 32 league games. The last time they lost was in the Milan Derby last season. In April last year, they were blocked by Kaladze after being caught offside at San Siro. However, neither Kaladze nor Seedorf, who assisted him that time, started the game today.

In fact, everyone can now see that Zhuo Yang has transferred to Milan this season. The one who is most affected by the position on the field is not the strikers, but Seedorf, who was originally the main midfielder.

If any of the men on the front line said that Zhuo Yang had usurped his position and interests, it would be purely unconscionable. Originally, everyone was discussing their lives with Shevchenko. Whether he can take the lead in the middle depends on An Pang. Tactical requirement, because Sheva must be present.

After Zhuo Yang arrived, AC Milan's attacking formation was pushed five meters forward compared to last season, and the center became a fixed element. Those few players can only play center, so there are more tactical needs. The only headache is that there are more Oliveira and Borriello, including Ronaldo, this season. The competition is between them and has nothing to do with Zhuo Yang. None of them can do the work that Zhuo Yang can do.

Seedorf is different. He can play as a midfielder, midfielder, midfielder, and winger. He has many positional attributes, but being versatile means that he is not top-notch. In AC Milan's midfield, Pirlo is the indispensable anchor, Gattuso is the pirate leader who protects Pirlo, and Kaká is the deadly sword of the genius. Who among these three in today's world football? The team will be the main force of the iron fight.

Seedorf can't compare to Pirlo's rhythm control, Gattuso's sweeping midfield, or Kaká's ability to kill the enemy. Originally, he could still roam between the attacking midfielder or the full midfielder. The former provided an exquisite assist for the last pass, but now this job was taken away by Zhuo Yang.

As a winger, Zhuoyang is probably the winger with the strongest depth ability in the world today. This is not Ancelotti's tactical arrangement, but Zhuoyang really can't sit still, so let him stay in the frontcourt position. Panic, not only did the two sides swim back and forth during the game, but later on they even started having fun from front to back and from left to right.

Ancelotti couldn't do anything about him, so he left Zhuoyang alone. Anyway, the tactical effect was quite good. He was willing to treat himself as a mule, and of course others didn't care.

As a result, Zhuoyang ran more comfortably, AC Milan's frontcourt attack became more colorful, Kaká gained more living space, but Seedorf became dispensable.

Side attack? Zhuoyang may not be inferior to today's number one winger Chelsea's Scar Ribery in this regard; assists and passes? Zhuoyang is the assist king wherever he goes. In order to cope with the frivolity of those in the frontcourt due to Zhuoyang, Ancelotti is more willing to choose Anshu or Xiaobu to accompany Picatu in the midfield.

More than half a year later, AC Milan's old players, including Seedorf, suddenly realized why Rui Costa was so determined to leave last summer. In the past year, although Rui Costa is no longer the absolute main force due to the rapid rise of Kaká, his unique last pass still plays a huge role in AC Milan. The Portuguese was very popular in the team, and everyone advised him to stay and get together again, but Rui Costa left without hesitation.

He said: Now that Zhuo Yang is here, I will be of no use. While I can still play football, I will quickly find a place to live comfortably for a few years.

Seedorf was sitting in the audience and thought of the words Rui Costa left, and also thought of his flowing long hair when he turned to leave. Seedorf does not blame Zhuoyang for turning him from the main force into a semi-main force.

The semi-main force has a tendency to become a substitute, because this is the helplessness that cannot be changed in football from winter to spring, just like when I squeezed out Redondo's playing time in Real Madrid, and like when I was at the peak of AC Milan a few years ago. The all-around state has changed Rivaldo's tactical position.

What is happening now has happened in the past, but it just fell on me.

Seedorf has experienced several wealthy clubs, but he likes AC Milan the most. There are not as many bullshit things as there are in other places, and the air in Milanello seems exceptionally clean. Seedorf hopes that like those around the round table, he can play here until he retires, and then go to the Vismara training camp next to Milanello to coach a youth team. If he can enter the management or become the AC Milan first team in the future Head coach, this life is complete.

Seedorf knows that he no longer has the ability to dominate between the two B2B penalty areas in the past. Age is not forgiving. That should be Kaká and Zhuoyang's fault. They are also unable to perform the shocking blow of ultra-long-range missile fire during the Real Madrid era, and their midfield interception ability is gradually fading. Seedorf does not want to slowly waste time on the bench and become a dispensable patch for the team.

Change is necessary. No one can play like he did at 20 after the age of 30. Clarence Seedorf is now wondering in which direction he should change and what new elements his style should be.

Seedorf is a wise man and these questions will certainly not trouble him.

Although it was an away game, the ratio of the Milan citizen camp that packed San Siro today was roughly the same. The South Stand is the traditional gathering place for die-hard AC Milan fans. The senior Rosenelli covered almost the entire stand with countless flags, including the red and black flags of Milan and Roseneri's own flag, with the red and black team on the flag. There are two crossed screwdrivers on both sides of the mark.

Rossoneri is also called casciavit. The word casciavit means "wrench" and "screwdriver" in Italian, so Rossoneri is also nicknamed the wrench. Most of the earliest AC Milan fans belonged to the working class in the factory, so they were given the title of spanner. However, in the new era, the fans of the wealthy AC Milan have fully included all walks of life, including street gangsters and celebrities like Master Pollini.

The huge slogan with white fonts on a red and black background hanging horizontally outside the second floor of the South Stand is also Roseneri's belief and slogan. "rossi-e-il--e-la-vostra-paura" means "red is like burning fire, black makes you afraid".

Correspondingly, there is the north stand where Inter Milan fans Nerazzurri gather. The same spectacular blue background and white slogan echoes the opposite. "internale, mi-fai-tremare-il-cuore...mi-fai--di-respiare", which means "Inter, you make my heart tremble and make me stop breathing".

The referee Nicola Rizzoli blew the whistle and the game began.
