Chapter 024 The first small step on the road of conquest

Two days after the 2-2 draw in Bayern Munich, AC Milan played against the host CSKA Moscow, and the final score of the game was 1-0.

AC Milan beat the host with one goal.

The goal happened more than 20 minutes in the first half.

Zhang Yang dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, and two Moscow CSKA defensive players defended him.

Both Moscow CSKA players were very cautious. They had been told by the head coach that they must be extremely cautious when facing the Milan No. 7, especially not to give him room to sprint, because once this guy is asked to speed up the ball, he has no choice but to foul him. Sometimes, even fouls are too late.

Zhang Yang looked at Mayyedovsky who was defending himself. At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly hit the inside, as if he wanted to go inward.

Mayedovsky was suddenly shaken by Zhang Yang, and staggered in the slippery field and almost slipped. It was this time that a gap appeared when he and his teammates surrounded Zhang Yang.

At this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly rolled the ball diagonally. The football rolled forward, and he began to accelerate himself. The distance of ten meters was just a blink of an eye. Mayedovsky returned to balance. Zhang Yang rushed past him like a gust of wind, and then Zhang Yang changed direction in a high-speed dribbling ball, breaking through the defender behind.

"pretty!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the stands, followed by applause. Even the Moscow fans of the home team had to admit that Zhang Yang's two extraordinary things were quite beautiful. After all, this was just a friendly match, and the fans would not be too strict with booing the opponent's players.

"This is really amazing. Zhang's speed is very fast. What's even more amazing is his change of direction in a small space. This player has taken his speed advantage to the extreme. Ordinary defenders really have no choice but to deal with him." The commentator exclaimed, not knowing which category he classified Zhang Yang's opponent Lucio in the last game when he said this.

Zhang Yang's breakthrough caused chaos in the Moscow CSKA defense line, but at this time, Zhang Yang suddenly kicked the ball, which was different from the fans' imagination of the bottom-in-cut shot. Zhang Yang directly kicked the ball. The ball fell to the CSKA right of Moscow.

The fans in front of the TV did not understand what was going on. Just as the camera camera just caught up, Ambrosini appeared in the camera and also appeared in front of the ball. The captain on the Milan field flew up and pulled the ball into the net.

One to zero!

This is also the only goal in the whole game!

From Zhang Yang's high-speed dribbling breakthrough, to his sudden transfer, to Ambrosini's in-shot shot, the high and large defense line of the CSKA Moscow was torn apart. The goal appeared!

The AC Milan fans who went out with the team shouted excitedly, and they cheered passionately.

After winning this game, Ancelotti smiled and her melancholy swept away. No matter what, the team finally won, which made a stone weighing on his heart remove.

In addition, Zhang Yang performed well in both games. The two goals in the last game against Bayern Munich were a reflection of his personal ability. Of course, Zhang Yang also showed strong personal ability in this game. However, what made Ancelotti even happier was that Zhang Yang had more tacit understanding with his teammates during this assist.

In addition, when Zhang Yang was on the court, AC Milan's offense was obviously more threatening. Last season, AC Milan relied too much on Kaka. Once Kaka was not on the court, AC Milan's offense would be difficult to perform well. The game against Juventus and Bayern Munich was like this before Zhang Yang played.

Zhang Yang's arrival, at least from now on, has given AC Milan a new offensive routine. Seeing Zhang Yang's performance in these two games, Ancelotti felt relieved. He was even more eager to see when Zhang Yang really had a more sufficient tacit understanding with the team, especially after Kaka returned, what would AC Milan become.

Three days later, AC Milan played against Chelsea in the last game of the Railway Cup.

However, this game is much more intense than the zero-to-zero score. Although Zhang Yang did not score, his activity in the game is visible, and it can even be said to be an excessive activity, which makes Chelsea very passive.

Mourinho knows Zhang Yang very well, not only because Mourinho once tried to buy Zhang Yang, but also because he had the most intuitive understanding of Zhang Yang in the match between Marseille and Chelsea last season. Therefore, in this game, Mourinho made special defensive arrangements for Zhang Yang, and Ferreira and Marklele almost kept abreast of guarding Zhang Yang. Even so, in the 71st minute of the game, Zhang Yang broke through the defense of these two people and broke into the penalty area. Terry had to put down Zhang Yang, and AC Milan got a penalty kick. Unfortunately, Pirlo's penalty kick was judged by Cech, and the Czech goalkeeper made a contribution and saved the football.

In the end, AC Milan and Chelsea shook hands with zero to zero in this game.

After three matches in the Railway Cup, AC Milan won one and tied two, and scored five points.

Chelsea beat host CSKA Moscow in the first game, and defeated Bayern Munich one-zero in the second game. In addition, the draw in this game, two wins and one draw, and seven points were accumulated.

Chelsea won the Railway Cup championship and AC Milan won the runner-up. It is not a good result for European champion AC Milan, but this result is reasonable in the absence of Kaka and Ronaldo. At least, the Italian media still maintain a praise attitude.

After Zhang Yang came to AC Milan, he played three games, scored two goals and two assists. This is not the penalty kick opportunity wasted by Pirlo, and his overall performance is still quite good. This made AC Milan fans all over the world ecstatic. At the same time, AC Milan's opponents in Serie A and Champions League are wary.

After AC Milan returned from the Valencia expedition, the Italian media praised AC Milan, especially Zhang Yang's performance.

"Sky Sports" repeatedly plays Zhang Yang's two goals in the match against Bayern Munich and the wonderful assist in the match against CSKA Moscow. It is only a matter of praise for Zhang Yang's personal abilities.

"In this trip in Moscow, Zhang Yang made AC Milan fans really fall in love with him. Such love has nothing to do with the club's publicity. They witnessed the outstanding performance of this young man through their own eyes. Only mediocre stars will hide their low abilities by not adapting and not being tacitly compatible with their teammates. However, Zhang Yang is obviously not that kind of player. Although the running-in with the team is not really good enough, his performance has made everyone start to cheer for him and look forward to it even more." - "Milan Sports Daily".

Italy's "Republic" said, "Zhang Yang's joining gave the Ross and Blacks a new deadly weapon. When Kaka was not on the court, the team began to threaten, and Pirlo's precise pass also had a place to use it." "Republic" said that after Shepchenko left, AC Milan once again had Zhang Yang, the deadly nuclear weapon. AC Milan will become the biggest favorite of the league championship this season. Inter Milan dominates the Serie A pattern and will face powerful challenges.

After AC Milan returned from Moscow, Turin Sports commented on the performance of the Ross and Blacks in the Railway Cup: "It is obvious that the game against Bayern Munich played a turning point in AC Milan's warm-up match this summer. When the team was two goals behind, Zhang Yang destroyed the Bundesliga overlord's victory from Bayern Munich. A steal that was amazing at his explosive power and a wonderful free kick score. The players in AC Milan who can now take free kicks. After Pirlo and Sidov, Kaka and Ronaldo, there was another Zhang. In the Railway Cup game, Zhang Yang showed his versatility, excellent point-grabbing ability, long shots, running attacks, and excellent free kick scoring ability. He seemed to be able to do anything. He just joined the team and Zhang Yang had such performance. Zhang Yang proved that he deserved AC Milan to pay so much transfer fees for him.

French media have a premonition of Zhang Yang's current performance, and they are not surprised at all.

After Zhang Yang's outstanding performance in the Railway Cup, France's "Voice of the North" commented: "Acc Milan spent more than 40 million euros to buy Zhang Yang. Some people think they spent more money? Does anyone think that now? In my opinion, AC Milan made a big profit this time, and these more than 40 million euros will bring them more championships. We said that if, if AC Milan sells Zhang Yang after a few seasons, they can even earn tens of millions of euros while winning the championship. This is not bragging anymore, let's see if we don't believe it."

"Atlanie Marseille" said with great emotion: "Zhang Yang assisted his teammates to score? Zhang Yang scored a goal? He scored twice? Of course, we all saw it, but unfortunately, this was not for Marseille, but for Zhang Yang's contribution to his new boss AC Milan. Of course, we cannot blame the club or Zhang Yang for this. This is a friendly breakup. He has made great contributions to Marseille. Yes, he also left a huge transfer fee for Marseille. We can only wish Zhang Yang greater success in AC Milan."

At this time, it was already early August, and there were more than ten days left before the opening of the new Serie A season.

The transfer market in European football is surging.

Just a few days ago, Chelsea announced that the team's Dutch player Robben officially transferred to La Liga giants Real Madrid with a net worth of 32 million euros. Real Madrid president Calderon's promise when he ran for chairman was finally fulfilled after two years. Although he actually wanted to buy the most was AC Milan flag star Kaka.

So far, AC Milan's summer transfer has not changed much to the team's lineup except for introducing Zhang Yang. The departure of Storari, Costakuta and Grimi have no effect on the team's lineup. As for the biggest "parallel" of last season, Brazilian scorer Oliveira's transfer to La Liga team Zaragoza has no effect on the team. Only Borelo goes to Marseille, which makes some people who sympathize with him sigh.

In addition, the Reds and Blacks did not operate more in the transfer market, and AC Milan just sold or re-leased some players who had expired, which had no impact on the team's lineup.

The media also believes that AC Milan's current lineup is already strong enough, even if it is not bought in the transfer market, it is OK.

However, after returning from Moscow, Ancelotti realized that the future may not actually look as beautiful.
