502. Serie A's Disappearance
"Since Mourinho left Inter Milan in 2010, Italian football has been in a downturn. The grand occasion of the former World Cup has disappeared, but in the summer of 2013, we seem to have seen signs of a recovery in Serie A again."
Huang Feixiang returned to his familiar commentary position, and he also felt a little moved:
"Top stars such as Kaka, Higuain, Tevez, Gomez have joined, injecting fresh blood and vitality into the Italian football world that only knows how to sell people in the past few seasons. Long Shute joins Milan with a record value, which has made countless Chinese fans bet on the San Siro Stadium again. Zhang Zhi, we were still talking about Long Shute's transfer before the show started. Can you continue to say now?"
"Hehe," Zhang Lu shook his head with a smile, "Many people think it is an unwise decision to choose to leave at the moment when Bayern is at its peak. Even if you want to change to a new environment, you can choose La Liga or Premier League, such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. These teams have both strength and financial resources. But even I didn't expect that he would come to Italy. Of course, I didn't belittle Serie A. After all, I also explained that Serie A has been able to come to the league I am most familiar with. I am actually very happy, but judging from the development of major leagues and clubs in recent years, the entire Serie A is actually going downhill..."
"There is a piece of data here that may be used to testify about Zhang Zhi's opinion."
Several charts appeared behind Huang Feixiang, which recorded the European score rankings of the five major leagues - this is also the most intuitive data that reflects the combat effectiveness of major leagues.
In the 1990s, Serie A almost always occupied the throne of the first league. After entering the 21st century, La Liga came to surpass Serie A due to Real Madrid's two Champions League titles in three years and Valencia's two Champions League runner-ups.
In 2004, as the top four in the Premier League made a splash in the Champions League, a three-wife battle against Lu Bu even formed in the Champions League semi-finals. Three Premier League teams besieged a Serie A team, and then the Serie A team won the championship. Yes, it was Milan in 2007. The Premier League, which was a champion of Milan, also surpassed Milan's unique Serie A and became the second European league.
The Premier League and Serie A competed for three years around the second place seat, and then in 2008, with Manchester United meeting with Chelsea in the final, the Premier League became the first league and remained unmoved for five consecutive years.
And Serie A... Although Inter Milan finished the top in 2010, Juventus fell to the trough and lost one player in the entire league, so it was gradually overtaken by the Bundesliga and could only fall in the fourth place.
Of course, Long Shute also contributed his own strength in this process. Since he led Bayern to win the Champions League for two consecutive years, the Bundesliga's European points are slightly more than history. In addition, Dortmund and Schalke 04 also performed well, the Bundesliga surpassed La Liga and became the second league in 2012.
In the summer of 2013, the Serie A did show signs of recovery, especially in terms of transfer fees. Even if Long Shute's existence is not considered, their transfer expenses this summer will exceed those of La Liga, second only to the Premier League, which has always been burning money.
You know, there are two amazing players in La Liga, Bale and Neymar!
If Serie A really revitalizes in a few years, 2013 will definitely become an important time node.
Huang Feixiang and Zhang Lu are both commentators with Italian plots, so they spent a lot of extra time expressing their feelings, so that the fans and viewers in front of the computer couldn't help but mute the computer directly...
-
This is four days after Longshut performed an eight-ball show in Eindhoven on August 24.
At the Marco Antonio Bentgoti Stadium, which can accommodate 42,000 people, AC Milan ushered in its first league game of the new season.
Their opponent is Verona, a newly-received team who has just returned to the Serie A.
Since he had just finished the Champions League with a hard time, Allegri took the rotation considerately, and many veterans, including Kaka, had the opportunity to rest.
Of course, young people like Longshute, Balotelli, and Salave do not need this kind of treatment. Under the leadership of the old captain Ambrosini, they set foot on this strange field.
Yes, this is a strange stadium. Although we have walked out of big-name stars such as Ramoranesi, Inzagi, Mutu, and Giladino, Verona has never been a traditional strong team. They have been ups and downs in Serie B and Serie C for the past 11 years.
Long Shute glanced at the players on the other side, and they were basically all popular. Only the 36-year-old forward veteran Luca Tony, who once played for Bayern, was still a little famous in international football, but he obviously was here to retire.
In addition, there is a player Long Shute who has dealt with - Brazilian midfielder Romulo. They once fought in the 2012 Olympic final, and Long Shute beat him up without surprise.
Even without Kaka, De Jong, Emmanuelson, Mex, Montolivo and other generals, AC Milan is much stronger than Verona - even if it doesn't count Longshute's abilities.
The reason why Allegri did not let all the main players play was on the one hand because of the rotation and rest, and on the other hand... he was worried that the main players would underestimate the opponent too much.
In fact, his concerns are not unreasonable, because even though he took such a large rotation, players such as Balotelli, Salave, Desilio, Romanio and others still did not understand his good intentions.
Milan's players played too casually. Even if they passed and received the ball without anyone interfering, they made mistakes from time to time. Romanioli, who had just joined the team, even shot in the middle circle - you know, he is a central defender!
When Long Shute watched the winger Nian receive his accurate straight pass, he not only did not make a cross from the bottom, but instead rushed towards the two opponent's defenders alone. He knew that today was about to be finished...
When Balotelli scored one-on-one with the opponent's goalkeeper, he not only did not shoot in time, but instead made a Marseille swing and then turned the ball to the corner flag area...
Long Shute suddenly felt that these pictures seemed familiar...
Well, just treat them as teammates of the national team!
Those opportunities... just pretend you didn't see them!
Long Shute, whose thoughts were liberated, commanded his teammates to stabilize the defense line, and then he dribbled the ball and started attacking.
Once you make up your mind to work alone, Long Shute can also exert great power, not to mention that Verona's defensive system is not as solid as a rock and will not leak.
From the time he made up his mind to the end of the first half, in less than 15 minutes, Long Shute scored twice and scored his first and second goals on the new map.
But he was not happy at all.
This time it was definitely not that he pretended to be profound and pretended to be there, but that this score really made him unable to be happy.
At the end of the first half, Verona 2-2 AC Milan!
The 36-year-old guy Luca Tony, who is considered to be here to retire, completed the good show of scoring twice like Long Shute!
What's wrong with being 36 years old?
From Maldini and Costakuta who are still fighting against the green at the age of 40, to Seidov and Inzaghi who have just retired, to Pirlo, Klose, Sanetti, Buffon, Dinatale, Toni, and Tony, who are still active in various teams, there is never a shortage of characters who are getting older and more demonic!
Don't underestimate any old monster!
