Stop the ball ten meters away, the goal depends on Meng

Chapter 146 Awei Dependency Syndrome

In the summer of 2012, in order to make way for the European Cup and the Olympic Games, the start time of the mainstream leagues was delayed compared to previous years.

This has led to frequent mid-week games in Serie A.

If you add the Champions League, Milan will have double matches almost every week in November!
But...Su Changwei was injured!

In his first game after the injury, AC Milan lost 0:1 to Malaga.

A defeat will not affect the overall situation.

Four days later, on October 10th, the revived Allegri excluded his confidant and favorite general Bonera from the squad for the first time!
Without this time bomb, Milan beat Genoa 1-0 at home, and Shalawi scored the only goal in the 77th minute.

After winning the game, Ah Jiong was not too happy, because the left back Antonini suffered two consecutive blows in this game-not only strained his thigh muscles, but also cut a big hole in his knee by the opponent's shoe spikes...

A new bed has been added to the Milan infirmary!
-
On the third day after playing Genoa, on October 10, Milan faced Malaga in the Champions League.

At home at San Siro, the Rossoneri were still struggling.

Less than 5 minutes after the opening, Abarth pulled a muscle on the right side and was carried off almost in tears.

Bonera, who had just been sidelined, was sent to the arena by Ah Jiong again...

Obviously it was an away game, but Malaga turned away and restricted Milan everywhere. In the 41st minute, Isco assisted Eliseu to score a goal!
In the second half, Milan played more and more urgently. Montolivo, Emmanuel Nursen and De Jong received yellow cards successively. The scene was once very ugly.

After 60 minutes, Allegri made consecutive substitutions. Pato, who had just returned from injury, stepped in and finally equalized the score before the end of the game!

1: 1!

In the two rounds against Malaga, Milan only scored 1 point!
After the 4 rounds of the group stage, Malaga, with 3 wins and 1 tie, locked a promotion place with 10 points.

AC Milan, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, temporarily ranks second with 7 points.

Both Zenit and Anderlecht have 1 win and 3 losses, tied with 3 points.

In contrast, Milan still has considerable initiative. As long as they win another game and get 3 points, they will definitely qualify!

I don't know if it's because of the Mercury retrograde. In the fourth round of the Champions League, there were as many upsets as in the previous round, and the betting dogs took to the rooftop one after another.

Real Madrid, who thought they were ashamed and courageous, still failed to win after returning to the home court, and finally drew with Dortmund 2:2.

Manchester City was also forced to 2:2 by Ajax at the Etihad.

Arsenal, who lost in the last round, also played 2:2 with Schalke...

And the most unpopular game was Barcelona's 2:1 defeat by the Celtics, a mere Soviet Super League team!

It's very similar to the last round of Real Madrid's 1:2 loss to Dortmund. Although their superstar Messi scored one goal, the opponent scored two goals in a row!

Fortunately, there are still four teams that have played steadily and kept face for the giants:

Manchester United beat Braga 3-1 away.

PSG swept Dinamo Zagreb 4-0 at home.

Juventus avenged North Zealand 4:0 at home.

Bayern was even more arrogant. Facing the Ligue 6 powerhouse Lille, they kicked them 1:[-]!
-
The UEFA Champions League has come to an end for the time being, and the fifth round will be three weeks away.

I originally thought that concentrating on the league would allow the players to rest, but I didn't expect that De Sciglio was unfortunately injured in daily training!

Allegri is a little numb.

If he were Mourinho, he would definitely force Laobei and Jiatu to disband the club's medical department!

The Milan laboratory is also wronged!
These guys who were injured were originally famous glass men!
Why don't others get hurt?
-
On November 11, the entire Milan team, which had just spent Halloween, went away to participate in the 3th round of Serie A.

Facing Palermo, which is ranked 18th in the standings, Allegri thought he would win easily, but he didn't expect that this game would be thrilling!
Bonera, who re-entered the starting lineup, knocked the captain of the home team into the air in the 30th second and received a yellow card angrily.

In the 4th minute, Pato broke through the opponent's defense. Although he did not pose a threat, he caused the defending home team defender Donati to strain his thigh and had to use up a substitution.

After seeing this start, Allegri felt relieved:
[Pato finally found a little status! 】

Ah Jiong, who was a little gloating just now, almost died of fright after 5 minutes.

Shalawi, who scored 8 goals in the last 7 games, made a flying shovel from behind the opponent's defender, lying on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

The frightened Ah Jiong hurriedly called the team doctor. After a period of emergency treatment, it was confirmed that the little Pharaoh was fine and could continue the game.

But for a long time afterwards, Shalawi did not dare to physically confront his opponents, which greatly reduced Milan's offensive threat!

Under the ebb and flow, Palermo scored a goal in the last 2 minutes of the first half and the 2nd minute of the second half!
Allegri's face is green!

Facing the relegation team, he fell behind by two goals? !
He wanted to make substitutions to strengthen his offensive, but he had no cards to play!

It was not until 70 minutes later that the physical fitness of the Palermo players declined collectively, and Milan finally ushered in a chance.

Montolivo scored his first goal of the season, and Shalawi scored his 9th goal in nearly 8 games!
2:2, AC Milan got a draw!
-
The league has played 10 rounds, Juventus has 9 wins, 1 draw and no defeat, ranking first with 28 points.

AC Milan has 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, ranking second with 25 points.

But even though Milan are only three points behind the top of the table, Allegri still has been criticized a lot.

Some people criticized him for "unclear team building ideas", "changing tactical play every game", "using 10 starting lineups in 10 rounds of the league", "repeatedly swinging between three defenders and four defenders", "playing a weak team is difficult So ugly."

Some people also criticized him for "nepotism", "Bonera get out of here", "the training method is too unscientific", "the team's large-scale injuries are all thanks to him"!
Of course, Ah Jiong is also a champion coach who has won the Serie A and the Coppa Italia, so his mentality will not be out of balance because of these uninspiring comments.

What really made him suspicious was a report translated by the Italian media from a Chinese newspaper:
"AC Milan suffers from Su Changwei dependency syndrome!"

The editor named "Sina Feijie" is not pure fantasy, but has come up with detailed data:

"Since Su Changwei was injured, AC Milan has not only played ugly, but also has greatly reduced offensive firepower!

This season, in the 7 games that Su Changwei played, Milan won all the games, scoring 23 goals, averaging 3.28 goals per game.

In the 7 games he was absent, Milan had 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, scoring only 11 goals, averaging only 1.57 goals per game, and the efficiency dropped directly by 60%! "

As a strict head coach, Allegri originally did not believe in these crooked ways.

Then... Su Changwei returned from injury before the 11th round of the league.

Although he only had one session with the team and his body was not back to his best, Allegri included him in the bench lineup.

A voice echoed in Jiong Shuai's heart:

[What if... is true? 】
-
On November 11, AC Milan played against Chievo at home.

Compared with Palermo in the previous game, Chievo, ranked 12th, is still a mid-range team.

Allegri looked at the lineup that had hardly been adjusted, and was ready for a fierce battle.

But what he didn't expect was that before the first half was over, Emmanuel Sen, Montolivo and Kaka each scored a goal, which almost killed the suspense!

In the second half, Shalawi and Pacini made contributions respectively, extending the score to 5:1!

Allegri turned his head to look at Su Changwei who was sitting on the bench:
"Do you still want to play?"

Su Changwei shrugged his shoulders and rejected his offer:

"Give other young people a chance!"

Allegri nodded and let Niang play to replace Shalawi.

The little pharaoh, who has started consecutively recently, is really exhausted!
Sweaty Shalawi wiped his forehead and said excitedly:
"How did you play so well today?"

Allegri's expression was a bit complicated:
【I know the answer, but... I can't say it! 】

[Once I admit this, will it be too much of a blow to other players? 】
