Chapter 80 San Siro

November 2007, 11, Milan, sunny day.

The fashion capital is always noisy and lively, the traffic is rolling, and there is no sign before the war. Perhaps, the Milanese have not yet regarded the Turin team as a real opponent.

Uh. Or the current Turin army full of wounded soldiers! !

Although, Turin is now the only unbeaten team in Serie A and Inter Milan, ranking second only with a goal difference disadvantage, and AC Milan has just ended its losing streak in the last round, and now it is in the standings. Only ranked No.11! !

It seems to be to confirm the different atmosphere of one of the highlights of this round——
If one word is used to describe the current mood of the Turin coach, it would be-'annoying'! !

The bus of the Turin team was slowly driving towards the San Siro Stadium. Novellino looked at the players behind him and couldn't help shaking his head. The fine from the Italian Football Association almost wiped out most of the entire main lineup of the Turin team. In fact, the head coach himself will be suspended, and he can only be in the stands when he arrives at the stadium. In this game, the away game against AC Milan, which has recently recovered, is really bad luck.

Just now, I received a call from the club's team doctor. After a joint consultation with the team doctor and Professor Chris, an orthopedic specialist from the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Turin, Andre was diagnosed with a fractured ankle and needed surgery. If he recovers after the operation Good, about 1 to 2 months to return to the green field.

"It seems that the result is not too bad, it is much better than the end of the fucking world, isn't it?" Novellino couldn't help but smiled wryly...

In the mid-week league, AC Milan humiliated the Sampdorians at the Ferrari Stadium with a 5:1 massacre score. Now, the Milanese who returned to the San Siro Stadium faced almost half-mutilated Turin people, no one would think that Milanese would suddenly eat fast and chant Buddha, meat is taboo! !

When the Turin team's bus slowly entered the San Siro, Xiang Nan was lying on the hospital bed. He was about to undergo surgery tomorrow, and now it was the observation stage before the surgery.

The ward was clean and white, and the two vases on the table were filled with blessings and true love from Joanna; roses, the heart of love; tulips, honor, blessings of eternity.

Since it is an intensive care ward, I am not worried that anyone will come to disturb me. Joanna was in a show in Milan today, but she was not able to come to accompany her. Simao hurried back to Belgium. There were some things to deal with, which made the empty ward look lonely. feeling.

The sun shines through the thin screen window, casting a line of brilliant colors in the ward, and the thoughts to the south also fly away, thinking of Joanna in Milan——
Milan? ! !

Xiang Nan suddenly felt regretful, or rather annoyed! ! !

If we talk about the entire Serie A, which team Xiang Nan most wants to face, or to put it simply, Xiang Nan most wants to score or beat, that is Milan! !

Xiang Nan is a proud person, he is confident that he is a natural goal scorer, and the green field is his stage! !
He wants to prove that Galliani missed himself at the beginning, what a loss for Milan! !

It's a pity that now, when the best opportunity to prove himself is right in front of him, he can only lie on the hospital bed and be an anxious spectator! !
Is the game about to start?
Turn on the TV to the south, on the TV screen, there is a scene of San Siro's huge cheers, and the players from both sides began to enter the field——
"Players from both sides have entered the field. This is the highlight of this round of Serie A. The big screen in the stadium also played the Serie A standings before this round. From the standings, I think it can explain a lot of problems!!" Rivera's voice sounded. The Milan star is now a football commentator for Italy's national sports channel.

Today his partner is --- Elena Santarelli, once a famous Italian beauty supermodel, and now a hot and sexy football presenter in Italy.

On the big screen of the stadium, it shows the standings of the 2007-2008 Italian Serie A season before this round (Note: Xiaoqi doesn't know how to make tables, so I will roughly use the ranking to express it, everyone don't blame)——
1.国际米兰——7胜3平-——得失球21：6——积分24分

2.都灵——7胜3平-——得失球25：13——积分24分

3.罗马——6胜3平1负-——得失球23：14——积分21分

4.佛罗伦萨——5胜4平1负-——得失球17：8——积分19分

5.尤文图斯——5胜3平2负-——得失球24：14——积分18分

*****
11.AC米兰——3胜4平3负-——得失球18：9——积分13分

"Perhaps, the most authoritative experts, before the start of this season, would not have imagined that it would be such a ranking?!" Rivera couldn't help but sigh with emotion. As for the recent situation of his home team AC Milan, he was worried Still amazed by the powerful performance of the Turin team, only Rivera himself knows.

"It's nothing surprising, I've been in love with this big boy since I saw Andre's first game, the football is at his feet, it's sexy, so I'm very happy with Torino's results No surprise at all!!" Elena Santarelli, a sexy and charming blonde born on August 1981, 8, who was once a member of Popo Vieri's huge girlfriend list, used Her charming voice started her commentary for the game.

Uh. Well, Xiangnan heard Elena Santarelli's ambiguous words in front of the TV, smiled slightly, and passed away. It has been a while since I came to Italy. Xiangnan is concerned about this kind of football in the Apennine Peninsula The culture of beautiful women has already been recognized to a certain extent. No one will take Elena Santarelli's almost flirtatious words seriously.
"Yeah, I see I just got a statistic." Rivera is apparently immune enough to Elena Santarelli's coquettish words, which is the latest feature of some Italian football commentators. , "Let's see Andre --- the biggest discovery in Serie A this season, how important it is for the Turin team, which is currently ranked first in the unbeaten record (with the same points as Inter Milan) ---
So far, Andre has participated in all 9 games of the Turin team except for the first round of Serie A where Turin challenged Lazio away, of which——
7 starts and 2 substitutes;
And what this talented striker from Turin brings us is——
12 Serie A goals, 6 assists! ! !
What an incredible answer sheet is this? ! !
In the current Serie A scorer list, the Turin striker scored 12 goals, far ahead of Piero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic who ranked second with 7 goals. It seems that the people behind want to catch up For Andre, he has to run faster than a rabbit. "

Uh. It seems that Rivera forgot to say that there is another thing that can stop Xiangnan from scoring goals, and that is injuries! !

"If this data is not intuitive enough, let's look at the total scored by the Torino team so far - 25 goals!!
18:25? ! !

That's right, most of Torino's offenses are related to this young striker! !
It can be said that Andre is the core of the Turin team's offense, which is not too much --- you know, Empoli, who is now at the bottom of the list, has only 8 goals in total! ! "

"Now that Andre is injured, I am not optimistic about the prospects of the Turin team!" Elena Santarelli continued.

Uh...God is my witness, if the big ass makes a streaking show in this game, the big beauty Elena Santarelli will definitely be very optimistic about the Torino team! !
On the big screen of the stadium, the game was played, and the starting lineups of both sides——
AC Milan (4-3-2-1):
Goalkeeper: 1- Dida
Defenders: 18-Jankulovski, 4-Kaladze, 13-Nesta, 44-Odo
Avant-garde: 23-Ambrosini, 21-Pirlo, 8-Gattuso

Front waist: 10-Seedorf, 22-Kaka
Forward: 11-Girardino
"AC Milan, today has the strongest lineup for the match. It seems that Ancelotti wants to entertain the people of Turin in this game. Let's take a look at the starting lineup of Turin. It is not an easy task for the Torino team to come up with an 18-man roster!" Rivera was also very unkind, teasing the Turin team with extensive injuries and suspension.

Uh... I guess, if this Milan celebrity passes by Turin in the future, he'd better wear sunglasses...

Torino (5-4-1):
Goalkeeper: 1-Abbiati
后卫：3-科莫托、14-纳塔里、22-迪洛雷托、4-奥博纳、2-弗兰切斯奇尼
Midfielder: 6-Collini, 8-Barone, 11-Rakitic, 10-Rosina

Forward: 17-Di Michele
"We noticed that Mr. Novellino, the head coach of the Turin team, played an iron barrel formation in this game. Does he think it is safe to retract his head like this?"

If Mr. Novellino heard Rivera's words, I believe he would yell without grace, "What a farting skunk!! Thank God for being able to form a complete lineup? What else do you want? !!"

However, Novellino is sitting in the stands at the moment, frowning while watching the game that has already started——
The Turin team, which lost the offensive threat, was completely suppressed by AC Milan's powerful midfielder in its own half. The whole game slowly evolved into a half-court offensive and defensive battle from the beginning! ! !
At this time, Rivera also seemed to think of the Turin coach in the stands, "It seems that Novellino is not used to directing the game from the stands. The current situation of the Turin team is terrible. In my opinion, the Milan team The goal is coming soon!!"

Uh... directing the game from the stands? ?

I have to say that Rivera has a good sense of humor...

"Torino without Andrea can't see a hint of sex appeal—"

Enen, I don't know, is it a happy trouble for Xiangnan to hear such explicit words from the beautiful Elena Santarelli?
Uh. Still, let’s just laugh it off, because Elena Santarelli is a famous sexy meatball in Italy.
Uh. 'Meatball' seems to be not much better than cannonball in Xiangnan's perception.
Xiang Nan in front of the TV directly ignored Elena Santarelli's beauty, his gaze was already attracted by the passive beating of the Turin team on the field! !

In the 31st minute of the first half, the AC Milan team finally relied on Kaka's personal ability to break through the dense defense of the Turin team and take the lead in the score.

Pirlo's precise through ball, after Kaka got the ball, a beautiful change of direction shook away Franceschini's defense, cut in, and a smart outside instep shot broke through Abia Tee's goal--
The former Milan goalkeeper, although he fought hard to make a save, Kaka's shot angle was too tricky.
After scoring the goal, Kaka was extremely excited, pointing his hands to the sky, came to the famous South Stand (CURVA-SUD) in San Siro, and slapped his jersey vigorously! !
The south stand (CURVA-SUD) of San Siro is a typical Italian-style arc stand. Because of the bad line of sight, the ticket price is low. It is suitable for fans of low-income classes. These fans may not have much money in their pockets, but they I am willing to take out the few coins in my pocket to watch the game and come to San Siro! !
They are out-and-out diehard fans! !

In some unimportant tasteless games, the middle stand of San Siro is often vacant in a large area, but in the south stand of San Siro, what you see is always neat singing and flying flags!

The family members of many Milan players can usually get some VIP tickets, but they would rather choose to watch the game in the South Stand! !
Because in their eyes---doing so means the greatest loyalty and honor.

scarf!

Different Facebook! !
Bunting! !
banner! !
Fireworks! !
roar! !
crazy! !
The main element of the football field! !

Of course, there is the most important --- loyalty! !
Not just Milan, almost all teams have such a 'CURVA-SUD', this is a club, a real cornerstone of a team! ! !

Forever cornerstone! !

The most solid foundation! !

"The goal is beautiful, this is the power of a star!! An occasional flash of inspiration is enough to change the situation on the court. Kaka is great because of Milan, and Milan is even greater because of Kaka!!" Rivera said to Kaka This goal is full of praise. This goal made people see the phenomenal Kaka who almost independently supported AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League last season! !
*****
At this time, Xiang Nan was lying on the hospital bed, watching Kaka celebrating wildly, feeling bitter in his heart, and even slightly jealous. This should be his own festival, and San Siro will tremble because of him! !

Xiang Nan has absolutely no doubt that he will score goals in San Siro and gallop at Milan's home court! !
This is the proud heart of a big boy! !

But this damn injury messed up everything! !

As God's witness, if that guy named Ke Da appeared in front of Xiang Nan, he would definitely remember what is real Chinese Kung Fu? ! ! !

*****
"Without the Turin team going south, it is a completely underdog team!! There is no offensive threat on the field!" In the press box of the San Siro stands, Lin Han watched being overwhelmed by AC Milan The Turin team who came here couldn't help expressing such emotion.

Although, perhaps due to domestic reporters exaggerating the regularity of Chinese players, Lin Han subconsciously ignored the current large-scale suspension of the Turin team and the difficulty of injuries, but it is undeniable that Xiang Nan's absence is the result of Turin's absence. The biggest weakness of the team! !
A cub without fangs can only be a delicious meal for Orion in the end! !
After conceding the goal, the Turin team was even more embarrassed. They wanted to attack and equalize the score, but they didn't have the ability, and they had to worry about AC Milan's counterattack! ! !
Such a mentality of worrying about gains and losses made the Turin team even more passive! !

Pirlo and Kaka continue to take turns attacking the Turin team's defense!

Also, Seedorf, who always seemed to be half-timed, also made Corini very uncomfortable, and it was very difficult to defend! !
Gilardino is also very active on a rare occasion. It seems that Milan's golden boy is very likely to break his own scoring drought in this game...

There is a pleasant smell in the stands of San Siro. The red and black fans are at home, which is rare this season, enjoying the pleasure of pleasure...

As "Gazzetta dello Sport" said after the game, "This is an asymmetrical contest, Novellino has every reason to bite Udine bitterly for this game!" ! '

After the intermission, the performance of the Torino team did not change much, and the scene was still passive. This is not because the players of the Turin team did not want to work hard——
In all fairness, the strength of the starting 11 players of the Turin team on the field is not as weak as it appears! !
These players, such as Dimichele, Rakitic, etc., were also the main force of the Turin team before, but because of the performance of the trident combination of Xiangnan, Recoba and Bielanovic, it was too good , will be squeezed to the bench.

Their strength has shrunk severely in this game, and the Turin people have a strange disease! !
This strange disease is - "Andre's Dependency!!"

Xiangnan's absence in this game has been magnified infinitely. The Turin people are in a psychologically unsuitable and swinging period, and they are completely unsuitable for the current style of play! !

Or, to put it simply, I don't know how to play on the field! !

Uh... It can also be said directly that the Turin team, who are almost sleepwalking on the field, is in a sudden chaotic state of mind!
This needs to be solved by the coach.

In the previous 9 rounds, especially in the last five or six rounds, the position of Xiangnan's offensive core has been completely established. The weather vane, this weather vane, is Xiang Nan's performance in the frontcourt! !

The current Turin can only be described as fighting on its own! !
This is also a one-sided reflection, the gap between Turin coach Novellino and a truly successful great coach, he did not solve the team's psychological dependence problem very well! !
In other words, try to solve it, but the effect is very small! !
Otherwise, if the Turin team performs normally, it is not out of reach to get a point in San Siro if they really try their best! !
Looking at the Turin team on the TV screen to the south, I felt very strange, "This is not the Turin team I know!" ' Xiang Nan said to himself! !
'Wait until I get back to the court! !Torino is still that fearless team! ! '

Xiang Nan said silently in his heart! !
However, Xiangnan may have forgotten one thing, a Turin team that has lost confidence in victory is like a defeated army, it is terrible! !
This is the charm of the dark horse and the sorrow of the dark horse! !
When you are invincible, you will think that you are the strongest one in the world! !

On the contrary, when encountering failure, especially continuous setbacks, it is a devastating situation! !

Although Turin fans do not admit that they are a dark horse, and the revival of the dynasty is in the hearts of every fan, but in Italian football, from the outside world, Turin——
It is a dark horse! !
It's just darker than the previous dark horses, and it's darker for a little longer! !
Now, Xiang Nan can only pray that the Turin team will not lose too badly! !
I can persist until I return to the team, persist until the suspension of a large area and the injury improves! !

Uh....God bless! !
In the 73rd minute of the game, the Turin team fouled on the edge of the penalty area, and AC Milan won a free kick in a good position.

Pirlo used his beautiful deciduous ball to humiliate the former Milan goalkeeper Abbiati! !
After 3 minutes of the game, Kaka made a wonderful pass to Gilardino. After 75 minutes, Gilardino, who had not been replaced, broke the scoring shortage with a stab shot!

It's been a long time since Gilardino's action of playing the violin was presented again in San Siro.

It seems that the head coach of AC Milan also consciously asked Gilardino to find a feeling in this game——
As a result, the head coach of Milan smiled with satisfaction——
Milan fans also sang happily...

The director pointed the camera at the head coach of Turin in the stands——
Novellino's face was ashen, serious! !

Seeing the expression of his boss, Xiang Nan felt sad, he turned off the TV in frustration, the game was over for the sake of it, everything was over——
The Turin team finally lost! !
This season's biggest dark horse in Serie A has finally fallen to San Siro! !
Lying quietly in the south, looking at the snow-white ceiling, his thoughts wandered——
"Turin!! With me!! There is hope!!!——WAITING!!!!"

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and the beautiful and sexy little nurse Miranda came in, "Andre, how do you feel now? Dr. Chris asked me to inform you, get ready, it's time for surgery—" —
