Before leaving the tunnel, I saw the figures of Juventus players.
It seems they still chose to show off their grace.
It's really not embarrassing to lose to a team that has a perfect victory, and there isn't that much bad blood between the two teams.
Northern Three Powers The two-on-one pattern was not formed in recent times. In the old Moratti period, Milan had a better relationship with Juventus than with Inter Milan.
"Franco·Baresi!"
"Paolo·Paolo Maldini!"
"..."
"Dejan Lu!"
"..."
As the Milan players came on stage, the DJ on the scene shouted the name of each player passionately.
Every time he shouted, the Rossoneris at the scene cheered.
Juventus players stood on both sides of the tunnel and applauded. Dejan Lu felt a little strange. I wonder if I saw it wrong. The Juventus players seemed to be a little fatter than before.
"In the 1996-1997 season, Italian Cup, Italian Cup, Italian Cup Super Cup maintained unbeatable victories, and AC Milan, which won the championship in advance with 75 points in 25 rounds, is still on the winning streak. This is the greatest record in football history..."
Boom——
"Milan!"
"Milan!"
Today's Rossoneris are as excited as if they were on drugs.
Not much to say about the achievements, they are already great enough. Let Juventus applaud and congratulate them at home. Such a coincidence is simply prepared for this great season.
After all, Italy is one of the few wealthy families, and it is just right to serve as the backdrop for Milan.
"Today the fans looked like the Germans."
Paolo Maldini said with a smile.
He could clearly feel the atmosphere at the scene was different.
"I'm so happy."
Costacurta said.
Some words sound hypocritical.
But in fact, the players really didn't feel anything.
External and internal pressure kept the players moving forward. Sometimes they didn't even have time to think. They just gritted their teeth and persevered all the way, only to realize how great achievements they had achieved.
But no matter how great a champion is, he must prepare for the next game.
After a simple celebration, players from both sides returned to half-court to start warming up.
"Dejan, why do you always watch Juventus halftime?"
Paolo Maldini asked.
"It's okay."
Dejan Lu said, took the ball and started bumping it.
I'm afraid it won't be another fierce battle today.
This game, which has nothing to do with rankings, still arouses the interest of many fans.
It can be said that the Milan fans at the scene came to watch the team win the championship up close, but the TV ratings cannot be faked. Even if Serie A has lost its suspense, the strong dialogue is still very attractive.
During the warm-up period, the ratings were quite high.
It looks like the ratings will be very impressive once the game starts.
"The match between the Serie A champion and the Serie A runner-up is about to begin. It is worth noting that young player Buffon has returned to the starting position. It seems that Sacchi is determined to train this young goalkeeper."
"Today AC Milan's lineup still made some adjustments. Van Basten was once again absent due to injury. His agent has made it clear that he will retire at the end of the season."
"Juventus has basically formed the strongest lineup. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
Milan 442 double midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Buffon,
Defender: Paolo Maldini, Baresi, Verchowod, Costacurta,
Midfielder: Dejan Lu, Redondo, Albertini, Savićević,
Forwards: Baggio, Totti.
Juventus 442 diamond midfielder:
Goalkeeper: Peruzzi,
Defender: Borini, Ciro·Ferrara, Montero, Iuliano,
Midfielder: Joković, Deschamps, Zinedine Zidane, Delivio,
Forwards: Boksic, Vieri.
"Juventus just drew with Manchester United at home a few days ago, and they are facing a big battle with Milan. Today, Juventus has a full lineup. It seems that they will go all out even if there is no chance in the league."
"Such an attitude is still very recognized. This is the spirit of sportsmanship."
"The French team's defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder, Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane, are both indispensable players for Juventus. In the last game, Zinedine Zidane's goal tied Manchester United. Let's look at the situation today."
The captains of both teams went over to guess coins.
Players from both teams stand in their positions.
Coupled with his observations in the passage just now, Dejan Lu was somewhat certain of his conjecture.
Juventus has changed its dressing!
As early as 1990, there was an incident involving the use of erythropoietin and other auxiliary drugs by Juventus team doctors. However, Juventus' backstage was so tough that no investigation team was even established on this matter.
I remember correctly that it was announced in 2004 that there was insufficient evidence.
Erythropoietin, also known as EPO, is the most commonly used drug in the Tour de France. It is relatively safe and greatly improves endurance. It is very helpful for events such as the Tour de France and marathon.
Juventus directly uses a set of them, endurance +20, strength +20, concentration +20, and fatigue -20.
When Tour de France athletes encounter surprise inspections, they need the help of assistants to delay the time. They quickly inject saline to dilute the concentration of the drugs. They really hold the saline bag and pour it into the body. It is easier for them to pass the urine test after the football game.
When we first met today, Dejan Lu felt that the muscle condition of Juventus players was different from before.
Especially for some opposing players, he is very aware of the opponent's physical condition.
As for saying that it is impossible to practice, if you really practice like this, your body fat will be like Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, or simply a devilish muscleman.
No wonder the old handsome Zeman couldn't help it later.
You are using drugs yourself, and you are getting more and more outrageous and are constantly developing new drugs with better effects. It is too difficult for top players to beat them with the combination of drugs.
Isn't this just like professional players with plug-ins?
"Be careful, something's not right with them today."
Dejan Lu reminded.
Baggio frowned.
He left Juventus mainly because of this incident.
Juventus team doctor Rico Agricola later said that among Juventus stars during that period, Baggio was one of the very few players who refused injections.
Dejan Lu knew what was going on as soon as he said it.
Although he was unwilling to stand up against Juventus in a big way, that was not his character, but he still couldn't help feeling disgusted.
No one wants to put up with a drugged opponent.
Totti also nodded.
Dejan Lu They all say something is wrong with Juventus, so there must be a big problem.
He is no longer the stupid young man he was before.
He might not have cared before, but now think about it, why the hell do you take drugs and play football with me.
The captains of both sides returned to their respective positions.
At 7:30 pm, with more than 80,000 fans watching, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
The capacity of San Siro has always been a mystery.
Sometimes a good game only has more than 70,000 fans.
But sometimes there will be one or two thousand more fans than the stadium capacity of 80,000.
Such is the case today.
Boksic kicked off the ball and hit it horizontally, Vieri took the ball and turned around and passed it back.
Zinedine Zidane started dribbling the ball in small steps without moving his feet much. He was more focused on observing the opponent's position.
Dejan Lu is not in a hurry, he will be ready to retreat later.
In addition to personal breakthroughs, Puganda also has an excellent long pass. Looking at his long pass, it is very similar to Alonso during the Bayern period. He almost directly assisted with one kick.
The muscles of Juventus players are not growing normally, so Dejan Lu feels that long passes are a more suitable method.
You can reduce physical contact with them.
Delivio came up faster. Lippi should have arranged for him to come over to defend.
Dejan Lu doesn't care either.
He has a high degree of tactical freedom and can lead his opponent around the field casually.
Juventus organized for a while in the half, and Deschamps took the ball in the backcourt and started to advance.
After the Little Prince rushed forward, Deschamps quickly passed the ball directly to Zinedine Zidane in the center circle. Zinedine Zidane stopped the ball very well. He dribbled the ball down with almost no pause and launched an impact.
Savićević chased back like crazy.
Albertini saw this and did not rush forward, giving his teammates a chance to perform.
The Montenegro international's tackle from behind was discovered by Zinedine Zidane and avoided by Genoa Spin.
Redondo was hit and staggered immediately when he stepped up. Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his feet and successfully poked the ball out.
Paolo Maldini reacted quickly. Seeing Dejan Lu nearby, he still chose to rush forward.
However, instead of stopping the ball, Paolo Maldini rushed forward and knocked the ball forward.
Dejan Lu was happy to see this.
This Paolo Maldini has an idea!
Dejan Lu also did not turn around. He blocked Delivio with his body and kicked the ball back, then turned around and ran away.
Delivio followed and turned around, but the passive party was still a step slower.
Paolo Maldini caught the ball again and easily picked the ball forward.
Especially since the full-back is not nearby, the pass does not need to be so accurate.
It would be better to give a slightly larger one.
Dejan Lu rushed forward as soon as it started.
Godfather Pu's absolute speed is not very fast, but it is enough.
After getting the ball, Dejan Lu has been steadily leading the opponent by one position.
Let San Siro Stadium burst into cheers.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
Lippi stood on the sidelines anxious and kept shouting at the court.
It's a pity that Delivio can catch up without him shouting.
Iuliano gritted his teeth, feeling like he was being passed by even if he was waiting in the penalty area, so he simply rushed towards Dejan Lu and made a sliding tackle.
Click——
Dejan Lu knocks the ball with his right foot and sends it forward with his left foot.
A Sombrero flick easily avoided the ball from his feet and sent a cross. The cross was urgent and fast. Baggio and Totti were both in the penalty area. They were already ready to grab the point.
When Baggio was started, it was hit by Montero and failed to run.
Totti wanted to grab the point, but Ferrara kept stuck in his position and failed to rush forward. The ball flew to the right corner and rolled out of the baseline.
"Almost, this opportunity is still good."
"Totti suffered a loss in physical confrontation today, which is quite surprising."
Cruyff said.
Totti's physical condition is very good, and he is good at using his body.
This ensures that he will hardly suffer any loss in confrontation.
Ha tui——
Totti's throat rolled, he spat a curse at the bottom line and walked back.
No wonder Dejan Lu would remind him. After several contacts with the opponent today, it was obvious that the muscles of the Juventus players were more developed and stronger than before.
It's so damn infuriating.
He's not one to make excuses.
But you have already committed a foul, and now it is getting more and more outrageous.
Still makes Totti very angry.
It's hard to predict what effect it will have in the end.
What if a drug could simply double a player's running speed?
Isn't that just playing?
If one or two of them can't die, the team's situation will be much better. If the whole team can't die, it's almost equivalent to having a few more players.
"Calm down, Francesco."
Baggio persuaded, "Our victory over Juventus further proves how strong we are."
"Of course!"
Totti nodded and said.
With Dejan Lu here, he doesn't worry about whether he can win at all.
"Cheer up your fucking energy, you don't want to lose the ball at the beginning."
Lippi shouted at the field.
He is confident of sniping Milan in today's game.
It's because of Juventus' new drug.
Lippi is a famous coach, but he doesn't have much sportsmanship. When Zeman stood up and called for Juventus to take medication, Lippi's reaction was quite fierce.
Now he accuses Zeman of doing whatever it takes to become famous, and says he is welcome to talk about football, but if he wants to talk about medicine, Zeman should first get a pharmacist license.
It also came out that coffee is also a medicine, a classic nonsense.
After all, he is the biggest beneficiary of Juventus' medication, Zeman is almost close to his face.
We've used better medicine today. If we don't snipe Milan, wouldn't it be in vain?
Welcoming the champion before the game is also to make the subsequent victory more enjoyable.
But what if victory is not possible?
Peruzzi threw the ball.
Joković stretched out his foot to block the ball.
Seeing that the Milan players had not yet returned to their positions, he had the idea to directly launch an attack with a long pass.
The ball went straight to Milan's defense line. Vieri moved forward very fast, charging like a tank. Baresi almost hit his head when he tried to grab the ball.
Verchowod can't get through it at this time.
Paolo Maldini missed the ball in a penalty area and shoveled the ball out. Boksic went up and shot the ball. Verchowod interfered and did not use his strength. Buffon easily suppressed the ball under his body.
"Thanks, Paolo."
Baresi said
"You're welcome. It was you who helped me ten years ago, and now it's my turn to help you."
Paolo Maldini said with a smile.
Baresi opened his mouth but said nothing.
He is such a proud person, he would rather be the one wiping Paolo Maldini's butt for the rest of his life.
The closer to the end of the season, the more unwilling he became.
However, his reaction speed dropped and his physical decline prevented him from requesting a contract extension with the team. Baresi didn't want to behave like a mediocre defender on the court.
After each side made a tentative attack, they both became more cautious.
This is the normal state of competition between Serie A giants.
"Those damn medicine jars!"
Looking at the field Sacchi cursed.
"Who made their boss Agnelli?" Tardelli said helplessly.
This is an open secret in Serie A.
Sacchi reacted quite intensely.
Winning or losing this game is not a big issue, but with the intensity of the confrontation, Sacchi is really worried that some players will be reimbursed for the season.
If an important player is seriously injured and cannot play in the Champions League final, the loss will be huge.
If Dejan Lu is injured today, Sacchi decides to fight Juventus after the game.
I don't care what tricks you like to play, but the bottom line is that you can't hurt our No. 7.
After the tentative attack in the opening stage, the offense of both sides was not very smooth.
Juventus used the body a lot today, and Milan relied more on the four points of Paolo Maldini, Redondo, Albertini and Savićević.
The Montenegrins who occasionally started the game played very hard and saved Costacurta behind them a lot of trouble.
Deschamps returned to the backcourt to get the ball again.
Totti is still pressing.
After pressing more times, the Little Prince also gained some experience.
They often choose techniques such as combining virtuality and reality, taking the initiative to pretend to force the player with the ball to make the first move.
Many offensive players have some expertise in defense.
For example, Rooney's tackle has the characteristics of being good at tackles in FM. When he moved to the United States, the lob shot after the steal was an opportunity to chase after the tackle and force it out.
Deschamps really didn't take Totti seriously.
After all, he is just an offensive player.
But after being passed by, Totti immediately adjusted his center of gravity and rushed forward again.
Deschamps, who didn't want to get entangled with him, looked up and found someone beside Zinedine Zidane, and immediately chose to separate sides.
When Iuliano took the ball and took it forward, Dejan Lu had already rushed forward.
Dejan Lu was very fast. Iuliano didn't dare to take the ball too much. The Juventus central defender, who had no time to turn around, simply chose to pass the ball.
This kick didn't use much power, and the speed of the ball was not fast at all.
Paolo Maldini saw this and rushed to the landing point quickly.
Delivio, who was standing with Paolo Maldini, was scolding her in her heart.
Only a genius can figure out how to let him, who is 1.73 meters tall, compete with Paolo Maldini for the top spot. You might as well let Carlos compete with Buffon for the top spot.
There was no suspense in this battle for the top. Paolo Maldini easily headed the ball towards the center.
Redondo caught the ball and his arm was pulled by Deschamps.
Redondo turned around and quickly kicked Albertini's feet.
Albertini had already observed the situation on the court before receiving the ball. Juventus' defensive focus was on the left where Dejan Lu was, so he chose a long pass to the right.
The prepared Baggio started to catch the ball and prepared to make a pass.
Borini came over very quickly to cover up the defense. The defender chose to use his body to put pressure on Baggio, pressing Baggio firmly on the sideline.
Baggio It's useless to be anxious, he must deal with his opponent with all his strength.
Seeing that the bottom line was getting closer, Baggio immediately made an emergency stop.
Borini really failed to keep up.
However, the position of his teammates in the penalty area was not very good, so Baggio made a judgment immediately and chose to pass back.
Albertini, who came up to catch the ball, continued to pass back, and Verchowod gave the ball to Albertini.
Snap,
Albertini caught the ball again and immediately rubbed his right foot out. This time he chose the left.
Dejan Lu reacted very quickly and rushed out almost instantly, causing Iuliano to raise his hand.
It's a pity that the linesman didn't react at all. The ball was not offside at all. Dejan Lu just started too fast.
Dejan Lu caught the ball on the wing of the penalty area and immediately stepped on the ball to stabilize it.
Montero approached cautiously, and Dejan Lu immediately moved his right foot forward.
Click——
Just as Montero followed suit, Dejan Lu gave the ball to the left with a flick of his ankle.
Sombrero flick!
It was Sombrero flick again. He started to squeeze past the opponent and went straight into the penalty area. Ferrara simply dropped Totti in the middle to defend.
Snap——
Dejan Lu naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. He passed the ball to the center of the penalty area with a quick direct pass.
Totti also had a good start time, but unfortunately Peruzzi rushed out of the goal first and suppressed the ball under him.
The Juventus goalkeeper also showed a very good competitive state today.
"Milan's attack failed again. Both teams failed to score in the opening stage today. This is relatively rare in AC Milan games."
Cruyff said.
Usually goals come quickly in Milan games.
Most of the time it is Milan who scores the goals, and occasionally it is the opponent.
No matter who scores, such a dull first half is rare.
While running back, Dejan Lu also had some concerns in his mind.
He also has a general understanding of the difference between Juventus players and before.
The main reason is the improvement of strength and confrontation, but the speed of some players has dropped slightly.
Then we need to use more cooperation to reduce physical contact, so as to seek opportunities to score goals.
Don't think about the other person's medication.
Just thinking of ways to deal with the opponent on the court, Dejan Lu still enjoys this process.
After all, if you can't hold Juventus to death, you can find a way to win the game.
Fortunately, he has found a way.
Juventus launched another attack on the field.
This time Juventus' attack speed increased, and they handed the ball to Zinedine Zidane in advance.
Zinedine Zidane used his body to push away Totti from behind the center line and then dribbled the ball past half-court.
Redondo rushed forward.
This bald man's technique is still a bit troublesome.
Albertini saw this and followed up quietly.
Noticing this, Redondo simply stretched out his left foot.
Big flaw!
Zinedine Zidane spiked the ball with his right foot. Before he could make a move, Albertini on the other side also stretched out his left foot.
Zinedine Zidane, who was being pressed continuously, quickly used his left foot again to barely avoid it.
But the next second, the ball was lost.
Redondo, who had deliberately taken the kick just now, had some strength left, adjusted quickly, and immediately turned his back and stretched out his foot, allowing Zinedine Zidane to hit him, and the ball was out of Zinedine Zidane's control.
Albertini caught the ball on the right side and was pulled by Zinedine Zidane. Unable to stand firm, he poked the ball out with his feet the moment he fell to the ground.
"Milan's counterattack!"
The Juventus players pressed forward very hard. Totti, who was retreating, took the ball and turned around and started to advance quickly.
Baggio didn't retrace much today.
Coupled with Dejan Lu rushing forward, the Milan Trident began to rush forward crazily.
"Return to defense, be careful Dejan!!!"
Lippi shouted from the sidelines.
The defensive focus of Juventus players is also on Dejan Lu.
Instead, there was only Deschamps in front of Totti who was holding the ball.
In this exchange of offense and defense, Totti simply lowered his left shoulder with a change of rhythm and easily dribbled through Deschamps.
Borini can only come to defend, other players are on the left.
Snap,
At this time Totti unexpectedly passed the ball.
And it was still passed to the left.
Pass to Dejan Lu who is surrounded by four people.
Iuliano is in front of Dejan Lu, and Montero is waiting in the penalty area.
Delivio has already caught up with Dejan Lu.
Deschamps, who was chasing after him, was also beside Dejan Lu.
Just when all the fans were guessing how Dejan Lu would handle the ball, Dejan Lu moved the ball down with his left foot with his right foot, and immediately swung it out with his calf.
Bang——
The kick was so fast that Montero didn't even react before the ball flew past his head and went straight to the right side of the goal. Peruzzi didn't expect that his position was to defend the closer point. He didn't have time to move at this time, so he simply jumped on the spot and made a side dive. Unfortunately, the ball was going far away. It was impossible to stop it due to a mistake in positioning. The ball fell cleanly from the right side of the crossbar and into the goal.
The ball went in!
Dejan Lu, who scored the goal, stretched out his right arm and ran on the field.
Facing such an opponent, it is not easy to score goals.
San Siro Stadium let out a deafening cheer.
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
"Dejan!"
Milan fans know that Dejan Lu will not let them down.
Juventus played well today, but wasn't it scored first?
The Juventus coach stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. There was no emotion on his face, but his heart was full of reluctance. Could it be that Juventus like this can't interrupt AC Milan's winning streak?
