More than two months ago, Zhuoyang's last game in Madibao was the European Champions Cup. More than two months later, his first game on behalf of AC Milan was also the Champions League.

Because of the World Cup, leagues in various countries start slightly later than usual, especially in Italy. Although the punishment results of the "Calciopolicy" incident have been announced, the matter is far from settled. Several forces are still secretly competing and arguing with each other, resulting in the delay in deciding the schedule for the new season.

With Berlusconi's guarantee, although AC Milan was not directly beaten like Juventus, and was not even deprived of qualifications for the Champions League, it was still affected. AC Milan will start from the qualifying rounds.

First home and then away, the opponent in the Champions League qualifying match is the famous Red Star Belgrade.

It was an era when heroes emerged in large numbers, and it was also an era when football had not yet been completely contaminated by money. Red Star Belgrade pioneered the Latin style of play in Eastern Europe. Yugovic, Prosineski, Mikhailovic, Pantsev, hearing these names will make people tremble.

However, with the increasing commercialization of football and the disappearance of Yugoslavia, Eastern European legends like Red Star Belgrade can no longer keep their popular stars and quickly become a labor-intensive player processing enterprise in the five major leagues, second-rate and third-rate. decline.

Today AC Milan welcomes its old friend, former No. 10, Dejan Savicevic.

This man played for the Rossoneri for seven years. During these seven years, he perfectly took over the gun left by the "Three Dutch Musketeers". In the 1994 Champions League final, Savicevic scored Barcelona's third goal on the right side of the penalty area. The lob shot from outside is known as one of the most exciting goals in the history of the Champions League final.

At that time, players such as Robert Baggio, who had just arrived at AC Milan from Juventus, were forced to serve as a substitute behind Savicevic for a year, and gave up the No. 10 jersey he had always owned. It was not until the arrival of George Weah that Baggio and these two formed the 'Milan Trident' that swept Serie A.

Savicevic came to visit his hometown as an official of the Red Star team. He was once a meritorious player here. His comrades at the time, Maldini and Costacurta, both cordially embraced Savicevic.

It was too early. Of course Zhuo Yang had heard of this person's name, but his only impression was that when AC Milan participated in the Toyota Cup in Tokyo more than ten years ago, Savicevic slapped the opponent's player in the throat during the game, and then I almost got beaten by Chilavert from 'Crazy Gate'. In that game, AC Milan lost to Sarsfield 0:2.

"Both of you are great, come on!" The 40-year-old Savicevic patted the shoulders of 21-year-old Zhuo Yang and 24-year-old Kaka respectively. The seniors encouraged the juniors, and Zhuoyang and Kaka exchanged words. Eyes.

.

In the first home game of the season, Ancelotti arranged a 4-4-2 at San Siro, which can also be said to be a 4-2-2-2. Among the new players, only Zhuo Yang started.

As the most powerful scoring machine in European football in the past two years, Zhuo Yang was arranged to partner with Gilardino on the front line. Behind them were Kaká and Seedorf, and behind them were Pirlo and Gattuso. . Due to minor injuries and other physical reasons, AC Milan's defense consists of Costacurta and Simic in the center, with Serginho on the left and Cafu on the right.

Behind them, Brazil national goalkeeper Dida, these five form a defense line that is nearly 180 years old, which is simply appalling. The 31-year-old Simic was frightened inside, and he looked like a young man.

Zhuoyang looked at the "grandfathers" in the defense and muttered to himself: It was not until this year that Fort Madi had its first 30-year-old veteran, Rock Dras, appear in the main lineup. In AC Milan, a 30-year-old can still be called a young player.

Ancelotti is a very kind head coach, he is not like Uncle Scumbag with a bad temper. During the tactical training a few days ago, he explained in detail to Zhuoyang the reasons and role of placing him on the forward line. Of course Zhuoyang was instrumental in this.

He is very familiar with the forward line. He has partnered with Gomez for a year, which also gives Zhuo Yang a lot of experience in how to respond to the center.

Moreover, in the internal warm-up match at Milanello the day before yesterday, Zhuoyang partnered with Gilardino and scored a goal. AC Milan defeated the C-level Lecco team 4:0. In that game, Zhuo Yang only played for 45 minutes. Everyone was the same. Inzaghi, Kaká, and Borriello each scored one goal, which was very easy.

However, when today's game started, it was completely different.

.

Zhuoyang gave a ground diagonal pass from the left wing at a 45-degree angle. Before the top of the arc, Gilardino turned his back against Bisevacci. Zhuoyang ran to the other side to meet him. The position was very good. As long as he had the ball at his feet, Zhuoyang can immediately break in and shoot. However, Gilardino forced his way away from Bisevacci and was intercepted by Pantic, unable to hit the goal.

Five minutes later, Zhuoyang met Kaká on the left wing, and then passed a through ball to Kaká. Kaká performed his signature dribbling and ran with the ball. After encountering the interception of the opponent's defensive midfielder Kovacevich, Called Gilardino with the outside instep.

If Gilardino does not stop the ball at this time and knocks Zhuo Yang, who cuts through the back line, it will be a foolproof single shot. However, Gilardino chose to give the ball to Seedorf on the right sideline. When Seedorf passed the ball again, Zhuoyang was already in an offside position.

This is the second big difference between Zhuo Yang and Madibao in AC Milan - he recruits at any time, but the football may not be passed at any time.

If it were replaced by Madibao and Gomez, the two opportunities just now would have almost certainly made Zhuoyang rewrite the score to 2:0 for the team. But if it were replaced by AC Milan and Gilardino, he didn't even have a chance to shoot. No.

After coming to AC Milan, Zhuoyang no longer has unquestionable right to the ball, and no longer has the unlimited right to fire without scruples. This is not the small club Madiburg where he has high prestige, but AC Milan, a wealthy club that has long been accustomed to all kinds of footballers and has been soft on all kinds of honors.

Here, there are a large number of new world champions who were born just a month ago.

In fact, Zhuo Yang could have thought of these things before coming here, and he was not a fool. AC Milan's scheduling and distribution rights belong to Pirlo. Although Zhuo Yang does not think Pirlo has any magical abilities, he has indeed been sleeping on him for so many years.

The end of the attack belongs to the frontcourt trident or quartet. There is Zhuoyang in it, but he will not be the only core, but has the same rights and obligations as the other three positions. There is nothing surprising about this. Kaka, Shevchenko, and Inzaghi were all like this before, and they had no privileges.

In the first half, AC Milan completely controlled the rhythm of the field. Even though Red Star Belgrade was pretty good, they posed only a handful of threats to AC Milan's defense line. However, this side did not bear fruit. Both sides were 0: 0 draw.

During the halftime break, Zhuo Yang was still comforting himself: It would be better if he got used to it more, and once I figure out the way, I would be out of control. But he didn't know that his several excellent moves in the first half came to nothing. It was not due to tactical reasons or his own integration problems, but because of Gilardino's little thinking.
