Chapter 020 Milan debut
.Ancelotti's office.
Tasotti pointed to the thing in his hand: "This is his training log. As you said, he made records every day, including those who practiced more."
This is a thick notebook. It can be seen that it has been a lot of time.
Ancelotti opened the notebook and didn't need to read the ones in front. The ones recorded were Inzaghi, Kaka and others, and her body also had the records of Shepchenko back then.
He turned to the place where the marks were folded and began to look.
"Zhang has completed all the training arranged during the day. Then he practiced more after the training. The intensity of the training is not small. To be honest, I was very surprised by it." Tasotti said next to him, "The physical conditions of the Orientals have never been very good, but it is obvious that Zhang is not the same. He does not look strong. I don't know where so much strength comes from his body?"
Ancelotti continued to look down at the training log and said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's the power of dreams. I have studied the story of this young man. This is a person with a strong personality. Such a person will either fail or be very successful."
Tasotti nodded, he agreed with this point. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Yang is now a very famous star, and he can also practice shooting by himself after completing training every day. This is quite difficult. Many young people get lost after becoming famous and forget their original dreams.
"His body is fine?" Ancelotti asked.
"I have asked the team doctor, there is no problem. My muscle fatigue was caused by the increase in training volume after the holiday. Now the muscles have begun to adapt to the current training volume."
Zhang Yang glanced at the two training logs again: "He contacted the ball in the swimming pool?"
Tassoti nodded: "Yes. The football will become heavy when wet. It will be difficult to practice shooting in this way. However, if you persist for a long time, it will improve the strength of your legs. Moreover, the exercises performed by Zhang are a bit different."
"Where is different?" Ancelotti asked with interest.
"It's sea water, not fresh water in the swimming pool, but sea water. Football will become heavier in the sea water."
When Ancelotti heard Tasotti say this, he didn't say anything, closed the training log, thinking about something.
After a long time, he looked up at Tasotti, "Maybe we really got a good player this time."
Tasotti smiled, "I think so too."
Although AC Milan won the championship in the Champions League last season and had the last laugh, they only won the fourth place in the league. The championship was won by the city's rival Inter Milan. After the season, Inter Milan and AC Milan sarcastically sarcastically. AC Milan said that Inter Milan has always dreamed of winning the Champions League championship without winning, and Inter Milan was complacent about winning the league championship with a huge advantage of 36 points ahead of AC Milan.
Although AC Milan's senior management has always emphasized that the importance of Champions League championship is unquestionable, it is impossible to psychologically avoid paying attention to the huge gap between 36 points behind Inter Milan. Therefore, the Ross and Blacks have great ambitions this season, and even proposed the Serie A championship, UEFA Champions League, Italian Cup champion, Club World Cup champion, and none of the four championships can be missing.
Under such a goal, Ancelotti and AC Milan have a lot of pressure on the whole team.
In fact, what Ancelotti is most worried about is the defense line.
Of course, Nesta needs to be said to have been in good shape since he recovered from injury last season, and has proved his strength as the first central defender again. In the training camp after the holiday, it can at least be reassuring. Milan fans only need to pray that God will bless this shy man away from the trouble of injury.
What makes people feel that Carlazer is the warm-up match with Juventus. Although Milan lost, this is not a big responsibility for the defense line. It is the overall sluggish team. Instead, Carlazer is a bright spot. It swept the sluggish and declining last season. It is decisive and neat to grab and tackle, and help teammates fill up positions in time, making people seem to see the shadow of the steady Carlazer in the 2005/06 season.
Bonella's performance is average, and the central defender's main focus should be Nesta and Carlaze. This combination is the most stable, but it is also the most worrying thing, because the most important thing of this combination is Nesta's physical condition. No one knows when Nesta will be injured. Once this "world's No. 1 central defender" is injured, then AC Milan's central defender position is really unreliable. Bonella and Simici on the bench are not enough to rely on, and captain Maldini is old, and for the team, the more important role is on the spiritual level.
In the full-back position, Odo and Yanku are sure of the main role, but the Czechs are still recovering from injuries. In the game against Juventus, Ancelotti chose to start with Brazilian veteran Serginho. Unfortunately, the effect is disappointing. The long-term cultivation has wiped out the sharpness of Serginho. In this game, there are very few outstanding places, but there are constant mistakes. There are always mistakes in the offense and passes the ball. They often cannot come back when defending. The gap behind them often becomes the breakthrough for the opponent's offense. Such a full-back is fine when playing against weak teams, but it is dangerous to play against strong teams, especially teams with fast speed and sharp counterattacks.
Ancelotti is a nostalgic head coach who wants to give Serginho a chance. He also hopes that he can regain himself and become an important member of the red and black lineup again. However, most media now think that it is difficult, and everything depends on his luck. Kafu on the right is not much better, and there are sometimes excellent works in assists. Unfortunately, he is still an old problem. He is older and his physical strength has decreased, so he can't come back and often loses his position when defending. As for Yanku and Odo, the main players, as long as the two are not injured, it is still reassuring. However, when it is necessary to rotate when fighting on the two lines, fans can only hope that the two Brazilian elders will not be a hidden danger.
This made Ancelotti feel assured that Milan is a team that needs to fight on multiple fronts. If the bench thickness cannot keep up, the more the team will suffer the more they go to the key points behind.
Therefore, for participating in the Railway Cup, Ancelotti's most immediate task is to test the team's defense line. The opponents of this Railway Cup include Bayern Munich and Chelsea, as well as the fierce Moscow CSKA, who is at home.
However, for the media and fans, in this game, they are more concerned about AC Milan's offense and whether AC Milan will send Zhang Yang. They are already impatient for the 43 million euros debut in Milan.
On August 1, the entire AC Milan team arrived in Moscow by plane.
At the first press conference after arriving in Moscow, Ancelotti said that Zhang Yang would play in the game with Bayern Munich, and he was still considering whether he would start.
The news that Zhang Yang will play in the warm-up match with Bayern Munich has once again caused a stir in China. This is definitely a historic moment: this will be the first appearance of a player with the highest value in China and Asia in this Serie A giant team.
In the eyes of excited Chinese media and fans, no matter how Zhang Yang's performance is, as long as he can play, it is a memorable event.
Of course, if you can start, it would be better, if you can score a goal, it would be better.
Zhang Yang did not start, he is now sitting on the bench, watching the game seriously.
At this time, the game had been in more than fifty minutes of the game, and the score on the field was zero to one, with AC Milan trailing Bayern Munich.
The goal for Bayern Munich was the Italian high center Luca Tony who they just bought this summer.
Under the score, AC Milan was also at a disadvantage in the field. Kaka was still recovering from injuries in Brazil. The Milan, which is used to Kaka as the core, seems to be unable to play football all of a sudden. This is the same as in the league last season. Once Kaka is not on the court or performs poorly, AC Milan's entire team will not do it. As long as Kaka sneezes, Milan will have a cold.
At that time, thanks to Ronaldo, Milan won the fourth place in the league with his outstanding performance of the "Aliens".
Now, the aliens are injured. In the stands, the starting Girardino performed poorly. Looking at Bayern Munich's new player Luca Tony's outstanding performance, AC Milan fans are even more calling for Zhang Yang.
Many AC Milan fans in the stands have already started shouting again: "Change pictures!" "Change pictures!"
However, although Ancelotti was a little depressed and anxious, he did not mean to substitute people. In his plan, Zhang Yang played for up to fifteen minutes, which means giving fans an explanation. There are still problems with Zhang Yang's running-in with the team. He needs Zhang Yang to integrate into the team step by step. The timetable he set for Zhang Yang, and at the earliest, he will have to give about half an hour of playing time in the next game with Chelsea.
However, at this time, an unexpected situation occurred on the court, and Seidov was injured. At this time, the fans shouted that Zhang Yang was even more violent.
Ancelotti replaced Seedorf with Gurkuf, and the Ross and Blacks, which lacked the Dutch veteran, performed worse.
Finally, when Klose scored the second goal for Bayern Munich and helped the Bundesliga overlord lead AC Milan 2-0, Ancelotti was a little unable to sit still.
At this moment, the live commentators began to call on Zhang Yang to come on stage.
"At this time, AC Milan needs a hero, and the most suitable person should be Zhang Yang. All the fans of the court are waiting for him to play. As long as Zhang Yang can have an excellent swing, he will be able to win the hearts of all AC Milan fans immediately. Moreover, even if the performance is average, it's nothing. It's just a friendly match."
Zhang Yang has been sitting quietly on the bench watching the game on the court. Assistant coach Tassoti discusses the situation in the game with him from time to time. He has no dissatisfaction with Ancelotti's failure to arrange for him to play early. Zhang Yang understands that this is Ancelotti wants to protect him. His current physical condition is not at his best and his tacit understanding with the whole team is not high.
However, understanding is understanding, but Zhang Yang is also anxious. He can't wait to go on stage.
Finally, he heard Ancelotti call his name.
