Chapter 34 Ah-Jong, Do You Want a Defensive Midfielder? [Please Collect and Read, Big Guys]
Why did he finally choose AC Milan as a good place to level up in the second half of the season?
If you have to find reasons, Li Ang can find many.
In hindsight, after finalizing the goal, Li Ang felt that AC Milan was extremely suitable.
But if you only find one reason that makes Li Ang most excited and makes him subconsciously want to go to Milan, it is only Pirlo.
Others may not believe it, but Li Ang knows clearly that after the end of this season, Pirlo will transfer to Juventus as a free agent.
In any case, Milan let Juventus get a Pirlo who can still play for free. It's incredible, right?
But with the authorization of Milan's top management, Allegri's drastic "reconstruction" and ruthless treatment of several veterans in the team, it is not surprising that such a thing happened.
So if Li Ang wants to learn something from Pirlo, he will either go to AC Milan in the second half of this season or go to Juventus next season.
As for Real Madrid, in terms of relationship, the relationship with Milan is much closer than that with Juventus.
At least the uniform team said hello, and Li Ang had the opportunity to communicate directly with Allegri about the position issue.
Speaking of position, this is also the second biggest point that Li Ang is satisfied with Milan this season.
If Ambrosini is not injured, then Li Ang will not be able to compete with the old captain of Milan at all.
Even if he wants to play with Pirlo again, he will not consider playing in Milan where he can't get a starting position at all.
But now Ambrosini is injured again, Boateng has not yet taken over, and Pirlo is about to be reused.
Li Ang feels that he has a chance to get a starting midfielder in Milan.
Of course, he himself thinks that the ideal situation is to replace the aging Seedorf or Gattuso to play in the sweeping midfield when Milan's midfield is reorganized.
He can continue to provide defensive protection for Pirlo with more abundant physical energy and a larger sweeping area.
In this way, he can further strengthen his relationship with Pirlo.
Although whether this ideal result can be achieved depends on Allegri's tactical conception.
But for Pirlo, going to Milan is an excellent loan opportunity worth a small gamble for Li Ang.
If he misses this opportunity to cooperate with Pirlo, there will be little chance in the future. Li Ang does not want to transfer directly to Juventus at that time.
After all, even if he wants to transfer, Mourinho will not agree now.
The opportunity is rare, and Li Ang has the courage to compete with the aging Milan midfield superstars. Now it depends on Allegri's thoughts.
"Will A-Jong give me a chance to communicate with him?"
After celebrating with his teammates in Real Madrid, Li Ang trotted back to his own half while asking in his heart.
But what he didn't know was that Allegri had already "moved" him.
Before Real Madrid greeted Milan, Li Ang only took less than fifteen minutes of performance time to make Allegri, who was having a headache about the midfielder position and the club's economic problems, envious.
"Cheap and easy to use. No! Las Diarra has returned to Real Madrid, and Leon's playing time will definitely be greatly reduced. If we don't rent him in the winter window, other teams will find a way to rent him. Lease Leon only needs to bear his salary of less than 100,000 euros that year. Galliari will definitely agree this time!
I just don't know if that kid will give me a chance to communicate and persuade him?"
After losing his temper and urgently discussing tactical adjustments with the assistant coach, Allegri looked at the game that was about to start again on the field. His eyes drifted uncontrollably in the direction of Leon.
The two people who "ran in both directions" were still thinking about how to let the other party give them a chance to communicate and persuade in person.
Perhaps the only difference is that Leon is a little nervous with confidence, while Allegri is distressed without much confidence.
However, as the game resumed, the two immediately entered their roles and temporarily put aside the extra thoughts in their minds.
AC Milan tried to open up the situation on the offensive end more actively after kicking off.
The previous suppressed dilemma made Milan players and Allegri quickly understand one thing.
Their defense can no longer stop the strong attack of Real Madrid.
It is obviously impossible to win the game against Real Madrid by defense. Now that they are one goal behind, Milan has to put their hopes on the offensive end.
The forward combination of Ronaldinho, Ibrahimovic and Pato seems to have the capital to turn the tide.
But in fact, once the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides changes, Milan still cannot take advantage.
Ibrahimovic and Pato are still normal, but Ronaldinho's performance today is a bit too disappointing.
It became extremely difficult for him to pass the ball under the double attack of Li Ang and Ramos.
Even without the help of Ramos, Li Ang alone gave Ronaldinho two ball possession losses and one failed pass in just ten minutes.
The ball possession cost invested by Milan in Ronaldinho was completely lost, and there was really no splash.
After Real Madrid played a fast defensive counterattack rhythm, it created more offensive threats than Milan who pressed forward!
In the 28th minute of the first half, Khedira received a short pass from Li Ang and turned around and moved forward decisively.
Sometimes the broad body of Brother Lian seems useless, but today, it was really useful against Pirlo.
In fact, I can't blame Pirlo for this. He has always played this way before. Defense relies on excellent position selection and awareness. Gattuso does more of the dirty work.
But Gattuso is getting older after all, and he is facing a counterattack team like Real Madrid that switches offense and defense very quickly. His defensive protection is somewhat unable to keep up.
Without his immediate interception, Pirlo was left to face the young and strong Khedira alone. He was still a Khedira who did not dribble the ball and knew how to pass the ball honestly.
The result is obvious.
Khedira's forward thrust caused another flurry of excitement in Milan's midfield and backcourt.
And when Di Maria, who received Khedira's through pass, easily sent the cross down, all the Milan fans felt even more chilled.
"Cristiano Ronaldo's header from the back! Wow! The ball went in! Zambrotta couldn't withstand Ronaldo's impact! Real Madrid took a two-goal lead before even thirty minutes of the first half. Advantage! Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice! Li Ang’s short pass was also very timely. Real Madrid’s counterattack made AC Milan almost unable to parry!”
As a senior Real Madrid fan, He Wei will be even more excited.
Li Ang performed well, Ronaldo scored twice, and Real Madrid led Milan 2-0 before halftime!
In other words, he was working on a live broadcast, otherwise He Wei had designated that he would open two cans of beer to celebrate.
At this moment, the Bernabeu Stadium has completely become a sea of celebration.
Real Madrid fans still remember the embarrassing scene when Milan was restrained in the group stage last season.
This will allow you to regain your face happily, and the cheers at the Bernabeu were extremely loud.
As soon as the goal was scored, the blow to the Milan players was not ordinary.
Although after the halftime break, Milan regained its momentum and started the second half with a wild attack.
But the result still made Milan fans crazy.
Because Ronaldinho, who was still their pride last season, is performing too well now.
Allegri really gave him a chance, but it's a pity that Ronaldinho didn't cherish it.
So in the 57th minute of the second half, Allegri replaced Ronaldinho with Boateng.
Milan also changed to a 4-4-2, with a diamond position in the midfield, and Boateng as the attacking midfielder.
Don't tell me, with such a change of formation, Milan's offensive really improved.
But just when Boateng gradually found the feeling, he connected with Ibrahimovic or inserted from behind to repeatedly create threats.
Li Ang stood up again.
A fierce fight knocked out Boateng and caused a war of words between several players on both sides.
A frontal tackle that received a yellow card almost caused Master Pei and Ibrahimovic, two villains who were protecting the calf, to get up in arms!
The scene was chaotic, but the rhythm of the game was also disrupted by Li Ang.
He didn't think it was worthwhile to use a yellow card in exchange for interrupting Milan's offensive rhythm.
He didn't hurt anyone, and he didn't have any psychological burden. Sometimes he just does this job, just to see if it's worth it.
Well, at least judging from the fact that Mourinho was secretly happy and Allegri was as frustrated as if he had eaten a fly, Li Ang's two fouls were very worthwhile for Real Madrid.
Without unnecessary disturbances, Real Madrid successfully maintained the 2-0 score until the end.
Amid the "piercing" cheers that filled the sky, Milan's players kept shaking their heads in silence. Allegri sighed and reluctantly faced Mourinho, who came towards him with a smile on his face.
But the first words the madman said after shaking hands and hugging him made his heart beat wildly.
"Masimiliano, do you want a defensive midfielder or not? In other words, what do you think of our Li Ang?"
