With the addition of newcomers, who can be regarded as two stable old players, the changes in Milan are also changing bit by bit.
The schedule is not slow, and the team as a whole is adapting and overdoing, and is still getting used to it...
The 32-year-old Jorginho can be regarded as the biggest star in Milan at present.
He is also an active international player of the Italian national team. After moving from Naples to Chelsea in the Premier League 4 years ago, he spent 4 years there that were not very happy, and returned to Naples a year ago.
Although he returned to the Apennine Peninsula, his life was not very good.
However, his strength is still there, and he followed Italy to participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
When he participated in the team training for the first time, the head coach Kaka told him in his native language:
"You are very welcome to join Milan, I think San Siro will sing for you."
Both of them are fellow Brazilians, but Jorginho grew up in Italy, so he naturally became an Italian citizen.
Facing the praise of head coach Kaka, Jorginho was still modest, and said:
"No, I will maintain my form and hope it will help the team."
The arrival of Jorginho also filled the gap of young midfielders and less experience.
He was born as a defensive midfielder, but unlike the violent type of traditional defensive midfielder, what he is even more powerful is the ability to connect the midfielder and the frontcourt.
He put on the No. 8 jersey that symbolizes the main force, which is also expected by everyone.
……
Veteran De Qieli declined the No. 5 jersey, and he chose the No. 36 jersey, which is also the largest number in Milan's first team.
What he meant was that he happened to be 36 years old, and it might be his last season.
He Yu is very emotional, he is not like other players, he is a goalkeeper, so naturally his career life will be slightly longer.
And a veteran like De Qili is really in his twilight years...
The emergence of De Qieli has filled the team's gap on the left. Naturally, he will be the No. 1 choice for the left back.
What's interesting is that his substitute is Maldini Jr. wearing the No. 3 jersey.
Little Maldini called him master, but he declined...
"Don't call me that, your father is the greatest left-back ever.
I really can't be your master, but I can teach you some of my experience. "
……
The atmosphere of the team seems to be very happy. During this winter break, only 3 players were introduced, which is also a kind of luck for many other young players.
They understand that in order to gain a foothold in the future San Siro, they must improve themselves so as not to be forgotten by the rapidly rising Milan.
……
The game also followed, a new look.
The first game sits in San Siro and faces the challenge of Livorno.
In the first half of the league, the two teams drew 1-1.
In this game, Milan is bound to win. One is to consolidate its advantage in the standings, and it is also to let the new players show up and test the new formation...
Goalkeeper, No. 22 He Yu;
Defenders from left to right, No. 36 De Qie Li, No. 2 Albertacci, No. 13 Romagnoli, No. 23 Bellanova;
Double defensive midfielder, No. 8 Jorginho, No. 14 Brescianini;
Central midfielder, No. 15 Pobega;
Double midfielder, No. 11 Mastour, No. 32 Diaz;
Center forward, No. 9 Cutrone.
This seemingly 451 formation, when fighting, Mastour's position is basically on the left, and the central midfielder Pobega's position will also be mentioned on the right, forming a 4231 formation.
The flexibility is very strong, and the two newly injected veterans also have a lot less adaptation process, which can give full play to the combat effectiveness of the entire team.
……
Facts have proved that this set of lineup and technical and tactical play is feasible.
Five minutes into the game, Mastour was on the left and received an overhead pass from Jorginho at the back.
He let go of the motor, chased desperately, caught the ball, and it was a long shot from 30 yards away.
1 to 0, Mastour opened the scoring...
Before the end of half-time, central defender Romagnoli, at a corner kick opportunity, scrambled for the ball, and then made a very beautiful header.
Cutrone, who was hidden in the back point, cleverly inserted and poked the ball into the opponent's goal with his toes.
2 to 0…
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Milan's offensive continued unabated, and the two sides began to attack from the rear.
De Cheli on the left and Bellanova on the right have created good scoring opportunities one after another, but they are a little less lucky.
At 60 minutes, the head coach Kaka made the first substitution, replacing De Qieli with Maldini.
This substitution, for the entire San Siro, is an explosive carnival node.
Looking at the young player wearing the No. 3 red and black arrow shirt, but after he came on the field, he came to the left wing position.
The cheers from the stands of the entire stadium never stopped.
Inside the box, the new technical director of the team, Paolo Maldini, who came to watch the game, was watching there.
Looking at his son, and looking at his own shadow.
This is a kind of inheritance, and this is also a legend...
Said to be a teenager, in fact, Maldini Jr. is also 28 years old.
His performance on the court, every move, is really a bit like his grandfather and father back then.
That is, he created the team's third goal in this debut.
Maldini took the ball from the left, and Mastour, who was in front of him, cut decisively into the middle.
He stared at the movement of his teammates in front of him, raised his foot and passed the ball diagonally...
Cutrone in the center steps back and heads the ball back.
Mastur, who was sneaking up, followed and just shot...
3 to 0, the game ended perfectly!
……
Next, until the schedule in February, Milan played a wave of good records.
First, they beat Vares 1-0 away, then returned home, and beat Crotone 2-1, winning three consecutive victories.
Immediately afterwards, there were four draws, and the scores were all 0-0...
Trapani 0-0, AC Milan;
AC Milan 0-0, Spezia;
AC Milan 0-0, Entra;
Venice 0-0, AC Milan...
It seems that the team has some problems, but the head coach Kaka is unusually calm.
The reason is that in these four games, he basically let all the main players rest in rotation, and those young substitute players were sent on the field.
This also explains Kaka's coaching philosophy to a certain extent.
He wants to give young people more opportunities, and doesn't want them to sleep forever on the bench.
Milan is currently in Serie B, but he believes that he will soon return to Serie A and the European arena.
Just like that sentence said, a powerful aura, no matter how it is polished by time and reality, the aura of swallowing mountains and rivers is still there...
