Chapter 273 Times have changed! The world is in turmoil and the desperate Ancelotti [a big chapter with ten thousand words, please beg to subscribe]

After playing in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the entire European football world, and even fans around the world, are clamoring to discuss the strength of La Liga.

There is also a debate about who is the best league in world football at the moment.

Even though La Liga is very strong now, the Premier League is still the most profitable.

Even in different regions, the level of fan support varies.

For example, in Northern and Central Europe, the Premier League still has an advantage.

In Asia, the Premier League has been deeply cultivated for many years. Although La Liga has made great progress in recent years, it is still slightly insufficient.

However, La Liga has also continued to play cards in recent years, including adjusting the start time.

Speaking of which, this is also a major move that has caused complaints within La Liga and dissatisfied Spanish fans, but is very popular among fans in Asia.

The main reason is that the Spaniards have different work and rest schedules. Letting them go out to watch football games at noon is almost like killing them. There is also a very important objective factor, the climate.

It’s really hot at noon in Spain, especially in summer, it’s really unbearable.

Not only the fans are complaining, but the clubs are also very vocal about this.

Therefore, La Liga is constantly making adjustments, such as putting the kick-off time in the afternoon, hoping to find a way that not only conforms to Spain's actual national conditions, but also caters to the watching time of fans in Asia.

But in Asia, the current situation is still relatively stalemate, with the Premier League having a slight advantage.

But in North America, La Liga has now begun to counterattack the Premier League.

In the past few years, the three major players in the Spanish Super League, headed by Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​have been increasing their efforts to develop the North American market. Nike is a sponsor of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which makes La Liga more and more influential in North America. The higher.

According to the latest market research, La Liga has surpassed the Premier League in North America, but the advantage is not big.

Generally speaking, La Liga's globalization trend is booming and its prospects are very promising, but the challenges ahead are still very arduous.

As the Premier League reacted, it also began to take measures around the world to respond.

The competition between the two major leagues is only getting more intense.

Of course, this isn't entirely a zero-sum game.

Through this kind of competition, the best league in European football can be further promoted to the world.

The advantage of the Premier League is that it is backed by the English language and the Commonwealth, coupled with the UK's financial center and capital operations, forming a unique advantage for the Premier League.

But La Liga also has La Liga's advantages.

Spanish is the first language in the football world. La Liga beats the Premier League in all South and North America. Especially in South America, which is a treasure trove of football talents, it leaves the Premier League several blocks behind.

The climate of the Iberian Peninsula is also more livable, which is very attractive to players from South America and Africa.

Even players from other European countries tend to favor Spain.

Not to mention anything else, just the weather in the UK where it rains all day long dissuades almost all South American players from playing.

On the basis of achieving good results, La Liga is also making progress.

In early February, La Liga held a symposium, inviting big bosses from major La Liga and La Liga clubs, as well as authorities in the professional football industry from all over the world, to gather in Madrid to discuss the situation of La Liga.

In the words of Antonio Ponte, La Liga will next invite elites from all over the world to accumulate global wisdom and further promote the globalization of La Liga.

It is necessary to build on the past few years to further build La Liga into the most competitive sports event in the world.

League operations and football matches are separate.

Yang Hao only pays attention to the matches at Atletico Madrid, so naturally he has no time to attend such a grand event. However, it is said that the event was very lively and lasted for three days. Many authoritative guests in the industry came up with suggestions.

Among them are some American television organizations that are interested in La Liga, such as ESPN and NBC, as well as other Internet companies such as Youtu Turtle. They are all combining their own industry and field experience to provide suggestions for the further globalization of La Liga.

This once again confirms what Yang Hao said before, as long as sufficient incentive mechanisms are provided and an orderly management model is created, La Liga does not need encouragement at all, and they can roll up with full energy.

Yang Hao really didn't expect such a symposium.

It really feels like posting a hero post widely.

Now La Liga's thinking has become clearer and clearer. Based on the Iberian Peninsula, La Liga is backed by the Portuguese Super League, and has its feet on the two major football talent bases in South America and Africa. La Liga will launch another vigorous Globalization 2.0 movement. !

There is actually a background here.

In June 2000, the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Islands Group of Countries (referred to as the ACP Group) signed a Cotonou Agreement in Cotonou, Benin, Africa.

This intergovernmental agreement is very complex and its predecessor was the Lomé Agreement signed in 1975.

One aspect of the Cotonou Agreement that is closely related to professional football is that EU countries give citizens of the group's member states the same employment conditions as EU citizens within the EU.

Starting from April 2003, the Cotonou Agreement officially came into effect. In April 4, the Spanish Parliament formally approved it.

In August 06, before La Liga began to register, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, led by Sevilla, Getafe and other teams, jointly asked the Spanish Football Federation whether the Cotonou Agreement applied to professional football. ?
  Obviously, the Spanish Football Federation cannot go against the decision of the Spanish Parliament, otherwise, they will be finished.

So, the green light was given.

In other words, starting from the 06/07 season, African players are not considered foreign aid in La Liga.

Now, there is no need for La Liga to come forward at all. La Liga teams have begun to focus on African foreign players, especially African foreign players in Ligue [-].

This matter was not very obvious in the 06/07 season. If you wait a little longer, starting from the summer of 07, it will definitely make the entire La Liga agitated.

The initiators of the whole thing were the Madrid duo.

Atletico Madrid has Drogba and Real Madrid has Essien. Both sides have needs in this regard.

But the real beneficiaries are definitely the majority of La Liga teams.

So far, the move hasn't attracted much attention from fans.

Marca and other media reported it once before, but no one was interested. It fits the sentence perfectly: the fewer words, the bigger the matter.

La Liga is actively planning to promote further globalization, which is undoubtedly in line with this trend.

……

Yang Hao did not participate in the vigorous debate outside, and he even refused interviews from major media.

After playing in the Champions League, he did one thing.

Organized a team building.

Yang Hao now likes to organize team building more and more. Whenever he has time, he invites everyone on the team to do team building.

The key is that he is different from the middle-aged men in European football who are in their [-]s and [-]s. He is only in his early thirties, and he is still old enough to play with the young players in the team.

The team building he organized was basically left to Parales, and everyone was very satisfied.

It’s nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun.

Before every team building session, Yang Hao would say a few words as a matter of routine.

This time he said directly that there was only one purpose for organizing team building during the busy schedule of double matches a week.

"I have decided that we will win the Triple Crown this season!"

All the players were stunned for a moment, then cheered.

For Atletico, they were not surprised at all.

This is Atletico Madrid's strength.

Last season was almost boring. If we also win the Copa del Rey, wouldn't it be another Triple Crown?
  03/04赛季拿了一次，06/07要是能再拿一次，中间都隔3年了。

Therefore, the players have expressed their [-]% support for the head coach's decision!

After speaking, Yang Hao let the players move freely, but he took the opportunity to talk to Kaká, Messi, Drogba, Torres, Villa and Robben.

Yang Hao has high hopes for these big-name players in the team.

He asked Kaka to maintain his current status.

"Believe me, you still have a good chance this year!" Yang Hao encouraged.

As for Messi, Yang Hao hopes that he can continue to improve himself.

You're only 19, why are you so anxious?
  To be honest, Messi's body is not fully mature yet, let alone not yet. Even if he really has the strength of a football champion, does Yang Hao dare to use his hands and feet?
  Do not make jokes!
  Some things exist objectively.

Was Ronaldo young enough back then?
  But look at his subsequent injury history.

Yang Hao told Messi, "Sooner or later, this world will be yours!"

Yang Hao also has the same attitude towards other players, basically encouraging them.

If they want to advance on three fronts, Atletico Madrid needs to make all preparations and mobilize all players in the first team.

Suarez and Di Maria are the second team players that Yang Hao values ​​​​most, and they were also called over by Yang Hao to talk.

For both of them, Yang Hao is a problem.

"I want to win the King's Cup, are you qualified to be the main player?"

The current opponent in the Copa del Rey semi-finals is Sevilla, and the other matchup is Deportivo La Coruna versus Barcelona.

From the current point of view, Yang Hao is quite confident.

Of course, these teams are not easy to play.

The other three teams are all teams currently competing for the top four.

If you look at the entire league, they may not be able to shake the position of the Madrid duo, but if it is a single or two matchups, they definitely have the ability to disrupt the situation.

But Yang Hao still wanted to give Suarez and Di Maria some excitement.

Both players have contributed a lot to the Copa del Rey reaching this point.

Yang Hao also hopes to continue to give them opportunities in the next semi-finals to see how well they can perform and how far they can improve.

The answers given by both of them to Yang Hao were clear and firm.

"I can!"

Yang Hao replied with a smile, "Prove it to me!"

……

On November 4, the 14th round of La Liga.

Real Madrid defeated Racing Santander 2-1 away from home.

Atletico Madrid beat Levante 1-0 at home, with Torres scoring the winning goal.

Barcelona also defeated Real Mallorca 1-0 at home.

Valencia defeated Sevilla 2-0 at home.

From the current point of view, the Bat Legion has a high possibility of getting into the top four.

Sevilla's current situation is quite difficult.

This team is neither a wealthy team nor a traditional wealthy team. It does not have strong financial resources and its lineup is not very strong, but it has been insisting on third-line operations in the past two seasons.

That is La Liga, UEFA Cup and Copa del Rey.

This is indeed a lot of pressure for a team like Sevilla.

Now, the top four in the league are under great pressure, but they also have to take into account the King's Cup and the UEFA Cup. One can imagine the pressure on Juande Ramos.

Facing Valencia in this game, he faced such a choice.

He has just finished playing in the UEFA Cup, and next Wednesday is the King's Cup. He can only rotate in the weekend league, but as a result, the top four in the league have problems again.

In a way, it's also really difficult.

But since it was so difficult, Yang Hao could only use some internationalist spirit to help him.

It won’t be difficult if you are eliminated!
  ……

In midweek, Atletico Madrid faced Sevilla at home in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

As soon as the game started, the two sides launched a very exciting offensive battle.

As Yang Hao said before, Sevilla is an atypical La Liga team.

His offense is like La Liga, and his defense is like Italy.

This very strange combination is surprisingly unified in Juande Ramos' tactics.

But after the game started, Di Maria took the lead in threatening Sevilla's goal with a long shot, and then Kanoute returned the favor.

There was a bit of bravado on both sides, and no one posed a real threat.

The starting goalkeeper in the Copa del Rey is still veteran Palop.

In the 10th minute, Navas had another kick that broke into the right side of the penalty area, but it was confiscated by Palop.

But in the 13th minute, Atletico Madrid played the most threatening attack.

Di Maria failed to break through with the ball on the left, and passed the ball with his heel to Antonio Lopez who came in from the back row.

The Spanish international left back inserted into the left side of the penalty area at high speed and passed the low ball to the center, but Drogba failed to follow up in time and missed it.

Suarez, who was at the back, followed up and calmly pushed the ball past Sevilla's goal.

1 is better than 0!

However, the most outrageous thing was in the 24th minute.

The two sides went back and forth in an offensive battle. As a result, when Ramos was guarding Kanoute, when facing the opponent's cross from the wing, Ramos took the lead and jumped to the top. As a result, he missed the right position and directly hit the ball. The ball was tipped into his own goal.

Own goals!
  Palop was completely confused.

You are from Seville, you can't take care of your mother's family like this.

After all, you are receiving a salary from Atletico Madrid now!

By the way, your name is Ramos, and he is also called Ramos. What is the relationship between you two?
  Is it worth your own goal to save him?
  After that bastard Ramos scored an own goal, he just lay down on the grass and pretended to be dead, refusing to get up.

What's especially funny is that the Atletico fans at the scene actually applauded!

Yes, they actually applauded.

Have you ever seen anything so outrageous?

When one's own players score an own goal, it's okay if they don't scold or sneer, but they still applaud?

Are you sure this isn't an extra stab?

Ramos was finally picked up by Pepe, with a look of despair on his face, and he almost shouted to the fans in the stands: I am Sura Mosu, please chop me again if you are too fierce!

"Have you noticed that this guy really has a very special charm? He can make those very outrageous things seem natural, provided that you have a good impression of him."

Yang Hao admitted that his impression of Ramos has always been very good.
  In fact, Yang Hao can understand Ramos' own goal.

Kanoute is 1 meters tall and Ramos is 92 meters tall. They are a bit shorter in stature and do not have an advantage in physical confrontation. In this case, he can only use other methods to make up for it.

For example, jump first and suppress your opponent.

But this requires a lot of judgment.

He was obviously too anxious this time and misjudged. After jumping up, he felt lonely.

"You still have to call him a few times, otherwise I'm afraid he won't be able to cheer up." Juanma Lillo also laughed.

It's only 24 minutes now, so it doesn't matter if we concede a goal.

When Yang Hao thought of this, he immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted Ramos's name loudly, asking him to cheer up. Don't think that scoring an own goal will make you fair and square. Be careful of labor and wages!
  Ramos quickly raised his hands apologetically, and soon became lively again.

The reason why Atletico Madrid fans and players don't care is mainly because the team is strong.

It's still early, and everyone believes that the team will be able to score again.

Sure enough, in the 39th minute, after David Silva cooperated with Baraja in the middle, he dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area and sent a wonderful pass.

Di Maria crossed into the penalty area diagonally and was fouled when he was about to pass the French central defender Escud.

The Argentinian fell into the penalty area without hesitation, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty kick.

Everyone turned around and saw that Ramos had to take the penalty kick.

This kid seemed to have forgotten about the own goal at this time. He walked directly to the penalty area without any courtesy, placed the ball, stepped back, took a deep breath, took a run, and scored.

2 is better than 1!

After scoring the goal, he rushed out of the stadium with great excitement and jumped directly to the sidelines to interact with the fans.

There were many Atletico fans at the scene shouting that he scored twice, which made Yang Hao almost burst out laughing.

Pull it down!

Can this also be considered a brace?

After changing sides in the second half, Juande Ramos began to adjust the team's tactics and tried to put more pressure on Atletico Madrid in the midfield, but the wings began to become empty.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Zabaleta sent a cross, and Drogba headed the ball in the penalty area, giving Atletico Madrid another victory, 3-1!

Although Sevilla then pressed forward decisively to attack, neither side was able to score again.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won Sevilla 3-1 at home.

All four goals were scored by Atletico Madrid.

After the game, Juande Ramos regretted the loss at the post-game press conference.

"We tried to put more pressure on the opponent, but their ball control and movement were very good, which prevented our plan from achieving good results."

"It's like a fist punched in the mud. Not only does it not hurt the opponent, but it can't be pulled out."

Juande Ramos' metaphor was also recognized by the media.

Atletico Madrid's technical and tactical level in this game was better than Sevilla's.

Yang Hao helped Ramos defend the own goal.

But later, Yang Hao discovered that the Spanish media actually quite liked this guy. No one scolded him for scoring an own goal, and some even praised him for being able to calm down after scoring an own goal. The penalty kick was good.

This made Yang Hao deeply understand what it means to feel pain for his own child.

Even Ser Radio's De La Morena said on his show that he likes Ramos more and more.

"Own goals?"

De La Morena specially cut a video to analyze this own goal from various angles to prove that Ramos scored this own goal because he was too devoted.

"We have no reason to harshly punish a child who makes mistakes because of his efforts!"

This seems to represent the views of Atletico Madrid fans and the Spanish media.    …

At the weekend, in the 31st round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Sociedad away from home.

Real Sociedad, currently ranked 19th, is fighting for relegation, and this game is even more crucial.

Atletico Madrid wants to save their efforts for the Champions League semi-finals next Wednesday, so this game is a little reserved.

Throughout the game, Real Sociedad paid the price of 7 yellow cards and tied Atletico Madrid 1-1 at home.

Villa scored Atletico's only goal.

Real Madrid narrowly defeated Valencia 2-1 at home with goals from Ibrahimovic and Chiellini.

Morientes scored the only goal for the Bats, assisted by Nani.

Barcelona encountered Villarreal's tenacious sniping in the away game.

Core midfielder Carney provided two assists, while Pires and Aguero each scored a goal to help the Yellow Submarine defeat Barcelona 2-0.

Sevilla regrouped and beat Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at home.

Deportivo defeated Osasuna 1-0 at home.

From the current point of view, there is not much suspense about the La Liga championship.

Real Madrid is still shouting that they will continue to catch up with Atletico Madrid, but everyone knows that it is unlikely that Real Madrid will overtake.

The reason why Atletico Madrid has been losing points continuously recently is mainly because Yang Hao can afford to lose points and is adjusting his forces for the third-line battle. Naturally, it is impossible to grab every game.

The real suspense is the top four.

After losing to Real Madrid, Valencia began to open the gap with Sevilla and Barcelona.

……

Yang Hao has always heard people say that the outcome of a football match is decided the moment he walks onto the field.

Of course, this is a bit too absolute.

But it does make sense.

Ancelotti's current situation in AC Milan is really sad.

Shevchenko was sold before the season and Gilardino was introduced, but the team's offense has never been adjusted well.

Especially during the winter break midway through the season, midfielder Pirlo was suddenly sold. What could he do?
  The current AC Milan lineup is very strong, with Ronaldo, Gilardino, Gattuso, Seedorf, Inzaghi...

All are well-known and capable generals in European football.

But how many are at their peak?

Gilardino's number of goals in Serie A this season has yet to break double digits.

The imported French genius Gourcuff also failed to meet the expectations of the outside world, and Ancelotti could only train him.

After selling Pirlo, Ancelotti followed the same pragmatic attitude and tried to transform Gourcuff into a defensive midfielder.

Just like when he transformed Pirlo.

Don't tell me, it really tastes like that.

Gourcuff is 1 meters tall and in good shape.

But after trying it a few times, I found it didn't work.

Gourcuff plays as a defensive midfielder, and his effect is much worse than Pirlo's.

As a result, Ancelotti made adjustments again, sometimes adopting a 4312 formation.

That is to say, a double striker combination with Gilardino Garronaldo in front, and Seedorf ambushing behind him.

Sometimes, he will still use the 4321 Christmas tree, letting Seedorf and Gourcuff start at the same time, leaving Gilardino as the lone forward.

But in this case, the offensive ability in front is too weak.

I have to admit that as a master tactician from Italy, Ancelotti does have his own uniqueness in looking at what others are doing and targeting tactics. Therefore, in the Champions League, AC Milan just relied on this incomplete formation. , reached the semi-finals.

Compared with Yang Hao, the current AC Milan has no Nesta, no Kaká, and no Pirlo. AC Milan can reach the semi-finals, which is already at the end of its strength.

Goalkeeper: Dida;
  Defense: Jankulovski, Maldini, Bonera and Odo;
  Midfielder: Abrosini, Brocchi and Gattuso form the back three, with Seedorf and Gourcuff in front;
  Forward: Ronaldo.

This is AC Milan's starting lineup tonight at the Calderon Stadium.

Yang Hao guessed that a very important reason why Ronaldo was used instead of Gilardino was that Ancelotti still wanted to stabilize the defense first and then counterattack.

Atletico Madrid's starting lineup is the iconic 433.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech;
  Defense: Evra, Thiago Silva, Lucio and Alves;
  Midfield: Xabi Alonso deep, Iniesta and Kaká in the centre;

Forwards: Robben, Drogba and Messi.

Yang Hao's confidence comes from Atletico Madrid's strong strength.

Therefore, he did not intend to leave the victory or defeat to Milan City in the second round at all. It was too dangerous for him.

He wants to decide the outcome in Madrid.

Before this game, Yang Hao remained calm and low-key externally, but within the team, he repeatedly emphasized offense.

Whether it is targeted drills before the game or in the locker room before the game, what Yang Hao emphasizes the most is offense.

Atletico Madrid's tactics are even detailed to how to attack after the opening, where to attack, who will pass, where to pass, who will shoot...

And just 3 minutes and 42 seconds into the game, Xabi Alonso sent a direct pass in the midfield.

Evra moves forward quickly along the left wing.

Robben pulled Odo on the left, and Evra switched to the ribs, played a one-two with Iniesta, and broke into the left side of the front edge of the penalty area.

AC Milan's defensive players were attracted, including Gattuso and Brocchi.

At this moment, Evra passed the ball to the gap at the top of the penalty area.

This was supposed to be Brocchi's defense area, but Ambrosini failed to make up for it immediately. Kaka moved forward at the fastest speed, faced Evra's pass, and blocked Ambrosini sideways. Behind him, after stopping the ball with his chest, without waiting for Maldini to grab the ball, he volleyed directly inside the penalty area.

Dida flew out to save, but was out of reach.

"The ball has been scored!!!"

"Kaka!"

"Less than 4 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid took the lead in breaking AC Milan's goal!"

"This is another Atletico Madrid's signature attack, very threatening!"

"Kaka's volley was very beautiful. From stopping the ball, turning around, and then taking off, it was all done in one go."

The entire stadium erupted into overwhelming cheers in an instant, and the fans cheered and cheered in the stands.

After Kaka scored, he iconically pointed his hands in the sky and prayed to God.

Yang Hao was not surprised at all on the sidelines.

This is one of the offensive routines that he and the coaching staff have carefully prepared for AC Milan.

Originally, he thought he was more confident that Drogba would lean against Bonera in the penalty area, stop the ball with his back to the attacking direction, and then pass it to Kaka, allowing Kaka to step in and kick the ball directly.

This is not without reason.

Whether in a game or training, Kaka's long-range shots from the top of the penalty area are very threatening, with a very high hit rate, and he can hit with both feet.

This is very difficult to defend.

Therefore, in theory, as long as Kaka is given a chance to kick in this area, he can form a long shot.

This is the result of Kaka's hard work over the past two years.

As my foot strength develops, my kick speed becomes faster and more secretive, and my shots become faster and more tricky.

Nowadays, long-range shots from the front of the penalty area have become one of Kaka's signature weapons.

In fact, he has often made waves in the world in the past two years.

This is really a nightmare for the team defending Atletico Madrid.

Because this means that from the moment Kaka enters the shooting range, or even when he enters the 30-meter area, he must be marked.

But Kaka kept running.

It is impossible for any team to say that if one person is arranged to follow Kaka all the time, then the defensive order is no longer needed?
  Therefore, the marking team will easily face a problem: how to have someone block Kaka as soon as he gets the ball to avoid being hit by Kaka's long shot.

Of course, Kaka's long-range shot is not [-]%, but who can guarantee that he will not score a goal with this kick?

It is now difficult for opponents to resist Atletico Madrid's attack, and this is why.

Messi's dribbling, Robben's speed and wing breakthrough, Kaká's dribbling and long-range shooting, Iniesta's ball control and small-scale cooperation, all of which make it difficult for opponents to guard against.

So much so that some people say that as long as Atletico Madrid has no injuries and the players are generally in good condition, it will be difficult to contain the sheet army.

……

After Kaka blasted a long shot, Atletico Madrid's offensive continued.

Yang Hao's request to the players is that the outcome of this game must be decided tonight.

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid continued to attack.

And in the 17th minute, Messi dribbled the ball from the right. When facing Jankulovski's defense, the Argentine suddenly stopped and changed direction, dribbling the ball away from Jankulovski. When he was about to dribble the ball into the right side of the penalty area, Maldini made a decisive move.

Messi reacted very quickly, stopped and changed direction, and when he tried to cut inward laterally, Maldini had no choice but to take a shot.

The referee clearly understood the situation and awarded a foul.

Free kick!
  But he was not given a yellow card, so he was obviously showing mercy.

This was a free kick on the right side of the penalty area. Xabi Alonso took the kick. All the tall players of Atletico Madrid rushed into the AC Milan penalty area.

Everyone at the scene was tense.

Xabi Alonso made a quick run-up and kicked a curve ball that landed in front of the goal.

I saw Drogba suddenly rush out, get ahead of everyone, and hit the ball with a header.

The ball was hit by Drogba, turned in one direction, and quickly fell to the back of the goal.

Goalkeeper Dida reacted immediately and pounced quickly, but was unable to do anything.

"The ball went in!!!"

"2 to 0!"

"Drogba!"

"In the 17th minute, Drogba's header gave Atletico another victory, 2-0!"

"AC Milan, the Rossoneri had a hell of a start tonight at the Calderon."

"In less than 20 minutes, we conceded two goals in a row."

"It was definitely beyond everyone's expectations."

……

After taking a 2-goal lead, Atletico Madrid continued to attack.

At this moment, everyone discovered that when Atletico Madrid pressed forward to attack with real swords and guns, the offensive was so violent.

When playing against Manchester United, Yang Hao used his advantage of passing and cutting more to pull and mobilize the opponent.

But now, facing AC Milan, Yang Hao pressed forward openly and attacked.

He made it clear that he told AC Milan that we don't play those sissy games, we just want to fight you!
  AC Milan really has nothing good to do about this.

Just over 2 minutes had passed since the second goal, and Atletico Madrid once again attacked.

Evra made a forward pass from the left and passed it to Iniesta.

Iniesta sent a direct pass to Drogba near the penalty spot.

The Ivorian used his body to withstand Bonera and returned the ball to the right side of the front edge of the penalty area.

After Messi received the ball, he attracted the attention of Ambrosini and Brocchi and sent a cross.

Kaka quickly sprinted past Messi and others. After catching up with Messi's pass, he passed the ball diagonally between AC Milan's three defensive midfielders and the back line to the left side of the top area of ​​the arc. The foot shot directly and kicked a ground ball.

The ball went into the lower left corner of AC Milan's goal at great speed.

Dida once again surrendered and was helpless.

3 is better than 0!

In the first 22 minutes, Atletico Madrid scored 3 goals!

……

Ancelotti stood on the sidelines and stared blankly at Kaká, who scored twice and ran across the field.

The entire Calderon stadium was cheering.

The Brazilian was once again the city's hero.

As for AC Milan, who had their goal breached, they were all stunned.

The difference in strength is too big, too obvious!
  Especially when Atletico Madrid tried their best, AC Milan really had no way to resist.

Ancelotti had already guessed this would be the case, but he still wanted to fight hard.

What if there is a chance?

But it turns out that the gap is far wider than he imagined.

In addition to offense, Atletico Madrid also has an obvious feature in this game. They do not control the ball.

In other words, he pursues slow-paced ball control.

They are now attacking quickly as soon as they grab the ball, without giving AC Milan any time to react. They just want to create gaps and create opportunities before the Rossoneri's defense is in position.

What about AC Milan?
  I can't keep up with this pace.

Serie A is too slow!
  Ancelotti clearly realized that, let alone Pirlo and Shevchenko gone, even if the two superstars are still there, they are of no use at all, and AC Milan will still lose.

At best, he might score a goal or create more threats.

But judging from the strength gap between the two sides, AC Milan doesn't have many chances.

When he thought of this, Ancelotti shook his head with a depressed look, turned around and walked back to the coaching bench.

The dilemma faced by AC Milan is by no means a problem for them, but a problem faced by the entire Serie A.

There is news that Cooper has resigned and will leave Inter Milan after the end of this season.

The most likely place for Cooper to go is to return to La Liga.

There were even rumors that after the Abu Dhabi consortium acquires Valencia, it is likely to hire Cooper to coach.

But Xavi Subilac also extended an invitation to Ancelotti.

Ancelotti is increasingly aware of the declining fate of Serie A. Every team here plays a conservative style of play.

Some people may ask, AC Milan should not play like this.

Ancelotti was really speechless.

Look at the players he has now. If he doesn't play like this, how can he play?
  If we really have to play against all opponents, can AC Milan advance out of the group?

Serie A is now trapped in a paradox.

In the past, many Italian fans liked to watch matches full of technical and tactical standards, slower but with high technical content. Even if it was 0-0, they could watch it with gusto.

But now?

Times have changed!

This steady defensive counterattack style can no longer attract the audience, especially those young fans.

TV stations are directly calling: learn from La Liga, learn from the Premier League, or even learn from the Bundesliga!

What fans now like is an open, aggressive and fast-paced style of play.

If we continue to adhere to the traditional way, Serie A will be completely dead!

Since the stadium is not your own, your income will be greatly reduced; the business environment is not very good, and the fan environment is not very good, all of which have caused the Serie A team's current revenue to be very problematic.

How to attract high-level players without money?
  How can we play a good game without players?
  If you can't play a good game, how can you attract fans?
  If there are no fans watching, no attention, and no influence, where will you get the money?
  This is a big problem facing Serie A now.

As the leading team, Inter Milan has been unable to surpass Valencia in La Liga this season after continuous investment. Moratti is said to be a little frustrated.

where is the problem?

Everybody knows.

Italy's own players have serious faults!

There are not enough local players to support them, so they have to rely on foreign aid, and high-level foreign aid has to compete with the Premier League, La Liga, and even the Bundesliga, which will cost more.

But where does the Serie A team get the money?
  Under such circumstances, the decline of Serie A is already obvious.

Whether it was Inter Milan at the head, or Roma who followed, or even Silvio Berlusconi of AC Milan, they are all lying flat now.

At this moment, Ancelotti was standing in front of the visiting team's coaching bench at the Calderon Stadium, watching Atletico Madrid's group of young players playing energetic, fast-paced offensive football on the court, and he was inexplicably envious.

He also wants to build a team of his own, just like Yang Hao.

This should be what every head coach dreams of, right?
  Build your own team and compete with your peers on the top stage.

Losing and winning sometimes no longer matter.

But Ancelotti is becoming increasingly clear that his wish in Serie A, at least visible to the naked eye, will be difficult to come true in Serie A in the next ten years.

Because the youth training in Serie A is completely rotten.

Perhaps, it's time to consider other options.

Ancelotti let out a long sigh with mixed emotions.

　I hereby solemnly declare: I am an artist, not a person, and I am by no means a casual person! Dear readers, please stop coveting my body! Begging for a monthly ticket!
