492、He has a forward heart

Goalkeepers: 1-Amelia, 32-Abiati, 59-Gabriel.

Defenders: 2-Desilio, 5-Mex, 17-Zapatta (new player), 20-Abat, 21-Constant, 25-Bonella, 81-Zacardo.

Midfielders: 4-Montali, 7-Emmanurson, 8-Longshute (new aid), 10-Nocerino, 16-Poly (new aid), 18-Montolivo, 22-Kaka (new aid), 23-Ambrosini (captain), 24-Christant, 34-Dejong.

Forwards: 11-Pazini, 45-Ballotelli, 78-Nion, 92-Salave.

This is AC Milan's roster of players, with a total of 24 players.

If nothing unexpected happens, their main lineup this season may look like this:

Balotelli (substitute: Pazini)

Salavi Longshute Kaka (main substitutes: Nian, Emmanuelson, Poly)

De Jong Montolivo (main substitutes: Nocerino, Montari, Ambrosini)

Desilio Zapata Mex Abate (main substitutes: Constant, Zaccardo, Bonella)

Goalkeeper: Abiati

Long Shute carefully scanned the attributes of these teammates in detail and had to accept such a reality.

Even with himself, the average score of first-team players is only 81 points, which is 5 points lower than Bayern Munich last season, completely down by two levels!

Among his teammates, none of them can score more than 90 points. The highest one... was Balotelli with 88 points, Kaka with 86 points and Salave with 85 points, and these are the only three players with 85 points.

Most of the main players are concentrated between 80-84 points, while those marginal teammates are barely above 75 points.

Long Shute suddenly had the illusion of returning to Ajax...

But this Milan team has a huge weakness compared to Ajax: their players are generally older!

Although the veterans have richer experience, their physical fitness is obviously not as good as that of young people, and their mental will may be more numb, so it is undoubtedly more difficult to arouse their fighting spirit...

The difficulty of this new challenge may be even more difficult than Longsho imagined.

-

July 9th, the second day of the training camp.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't received the schedule? No, OK."

Assistant coach Mauro Tasotti waved his cell phone, and he had just sent the training schedule for this month to all coaches and players.

Looking at the mobile phone screen, Long Shute frowned slightly, but said nothing.

As expected, the club forced a seven-day tour to China for them a week later. They had to "pass" in four cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu in 7 days, with an estimated net income of more than 20 million euros.

If you have a Chinese boss and a Chinese captain, if you don’t take the opportunity to return to China for a wave of hot money, you will definitely be sorry for your motherland and people!

However, this is not just a club in Milan. Many European teams such as Bayern, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Moscow CSKA have chosen to go to East Asia this summer to hold commercial exhibitions to ease the European economic crisis.

As an additional clause to introduce Longshute, Milan also holds a friendly match with Bayern at the Bird's Nest. The income of both sides belongs to Bayern. The average ticket price of this game reached 1,699 (of course, there are also a small number of low-priced tickets of 499,599), and the highest private room seat reached 12,888. A total of 91,000 tickets are expected to earn more than 140 million yuan, equivalent to nearly 18 million euros. If the sales of peripheral products and the rebates and kickbacks for scalpers are included, the income will undoubtedly be higher.

After a week's trip to China, Milan will also travel to North America from July 27 to August 7 to participate in another warm-up event - the Guinness International Champions League.

Their teammates are Inter Milan, Juventus, Everton, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Valencia and Los Angeles Galaxy. Eight teams have to compete in three games in ten days regardless of their performance.

Compared with the tour in China, the prize money for this event is pitifully small, so in previous years, most teams did not pay attention to this kind of warm-up match, after all, it delayed their precious season preparation time.

Long Shute could feel the anger in head coach Allegri's heart:

With just such a slag lineup, I didn’t want to seize the time to hone my skills to prepare for the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, but instead ran to China and the United States on the other side of the earth to play business games. Do these bosses have any brains?!

But no one can refuse the temptation to earn more than 20 million euros in two weeks...

Even Allegri, when Han Li asked for his opinion, he could only nod in agreement with difficulty.

What can he do?

If you don’t go out to make money... the club can’t even pay yourself a salary!

He, Ah Jiong, also has a family to support!

-

In addition to the schedule, before this day's training class, the team also confirmed the jersey numbers of each player in the new season. Kaka, who had had enough of the "Real Madrid No. 8 curse", was beaten to death and was unwilling to wear No. 8. Instead, he chose his previous No. 22, and No. 8 was worn by Long Shute.

The owner of this jersey was Gattuso, known as the "court butcher of the court". Gattuso's style is the same as his nickname, and is a pure midfield meat grinder type. However, Long Shute didn't care at all. He even broke Bayern's No. 8 spell, not to mention that Milan No. 8 does not have such a dark history.

Later, head coach Allegri announced that Kaka, who had returned, would serve as the team's deputy captain, while Ambrosini continued to retain the captain's armband, but considering that he was old, Ambu's role in the team might be more than just gathering people in the locker room.

——Montolivo, who had taken over as captain in history, could only be empty-handed in this time and space...

-

The first week of training camp ended soon.

Except for playing a team free match on the last day, I was resuming training for the rest of the time.

Although Long Shute has not directly felt the tactical level of the new coach, he has summarized Allegri's tactical habits from the systematic information.

The coach Ajiong has no interest in the gorgeous style of play, but instead tends to be concise and tough. Whether during the Cagliari period or the Milan period, he was accustomed to placing a bridgehead on the forward line, such as Matri and Ibrahimovic, to support the entire offensive line. The direct scoring ability of this bridgehead may not need to be particularly outstanding, but it must be able to attract defensive pressure and have the ability to make balls for other teammates.

As for the midfield, he prefers to play two or three black and hard midfielders to implement meat grinding tactics, requiring every midfielder to continuously destroy the opponent's offensive opportunities with a large range of running. De Jong, Montolivo, Montali, and Nocerino all have good interception and running skills, so the speed is slow. Only when he fights the soft Pirlo, he can't find an opportunity under his hands, and he can only go to Juventus to have a second spring...

However, in Milan this season, Allegri's usual routines may not be able to be played.

Especially for the striker, although Balotelli is the second highest scorer in the team, his characteristics are destined to be difficult to hit the opponent's two defenders as a single arrow. In addition, his brain circuit is different from ordinary people, so it is undoubtedly a dream to let him play the role of Ibrahimovic's magic needle...

Long Shute looked at his 184cm and 81kg physique and couldn't help frowning.

If it really doesn't work, he can only go into battle himself.

I, Long Ritian, also come and experience the feeling of the current forward!
Chapter completed!
