Chapter 564 The old horse team was forced to retire

After 10 rounds of the league, AC Milan has 7 wins and 3 draws, and has won four consecutive games in the last four rounds, ranking first in the standings. However, this good result has not prevented the team from facing criticism from both internal and external sides.

Taking this 6:5 victory over Naples' poor defense as a breakthrough, AC Milan club vice-president Galliani questioned coach Ancelotti and asked him to explain why even though the defenders have recruited strong players this season, they still

Poor performance.

Galliani also recalled the past, pointing out that AC Milan had outstanding performances on the offensive end in the first two seasons. Last season, it led Europe in goals scored. However, because the defense could not become the cornerstone of the team, it repeatedly failed at critical moments.

Let the team lose a good game, otherwise AC Milan should have had better results in the league.

Galliani is not nitpicking, because what he said is indeed true. Milan's lineup is seriously aging, especially the defense. Through the past three summers, Boshen, Odo, Abi, Zango, Pengpeng, etc. have been continuously added.

After Senderos, Antonini and others, the situation has eased. This summer, after Cafu, Shuangzi and other senior grandfathers retired, the defense is full of youthful atmosphere.

However, the leading figures in the defense, Costacurta, Prime Minister Cafu's retirement, Maldini's aging, and Nesta's habitual early-season injury have made the inheritance of Milan's defense seem less smooth. But no matter what,

He said that although he conceded a little more goals, compared to the god-level combinations in the past hegemonic era, it was not to the point of calling for an apology, especially when the team was in good shape.

All this stems from the counterattack of eldest son Pierre Berlusconi and Galliani against Barbara.

Since the beginning of last season, when AC Milan's succession issue emerged, the club's top brass, with the acquiescence and connivance of owner Silvio Berlusconi, began to fight openly and secretly. Pierre and Barbara officially came to the fore. Maldini in order to support Barbara

, has postponed his retirement. He is a figure like Milanello's Poseidon.

After the Cavaliers unified their opinions within the round table, they led the round table to cheer for Barbara. Of course, Barbara would also repay Paulo. She promised that after taking charge of AC Milan in the future, Baresi would join the Milan youth team.

Train the core decision-makers of Vismara. After Maldini retires, he will start a new job at Milanello as the deputy of director Braida. In the future, he will also become the new sports director of AC Milan after Braida retires.

.

More importantly, Barbara is in favor of the Knights of the Round Table playing a broader and more central role in Milanello. In other words, Barbara hopes to see the Knights of the Round Table become public and official, and become the club’s governing body.

These senior players dominate the functional departments.

The horse team received this promise from Barbara, just like Song Jiang's mood when he received the imperial court's recruitment.

Outside the roundtable, Zhuo Yang led the international players with the Brazilian gang as the core to also watch the enemy formation for Barbara. Barbara received support from all the players on the team, and also received support from all the players behind these players.

The support of the media and the love of all major fan groups.

AC Milan, which has been known for its unity for many years, has never been so united on this matter as this year. Maldini and Zhuo Yang have become the core of the team's unity and are also the banner figures. The old and the young have a good personal relationship.

The sincere cooperation quickly allowed Barbara to crush her half-brother Pierre in terms of reputation. In addition, Prime Minister Pei always preferred the old girl in his heart, so Barbara quickly established herself in Milan and Louvre.

Izumi has been involved in the core management of the club since the summer.

Among the top management, Barbara and his supporting sports director Braida have a sharp increase in their voice. Pierre and Vice Chairman Galliani have been suppressed. The transfer work in the summer is basically With Barbara and Braida taking the lead, Ronaldinho finally joined successfully, and the back line was changed. David Luiz played a very important role in the transfer of Brazilian players. Leonardo successfully landed in Milanello.

Leonardo belongs to Galliani, and he is behind every transfer of Brazilian players to AC Milan. Last year Raiola wanted to bring Pengpeng to AC Milan, but he had some concerns about Leonardo. and the power of the South American brokerage godfather Figel behind him, so he reluctantly gave up.

But now that Raiola and Figel are cooperating more closely, and Leonardo's status at Milanello has declined, there is no need to pay so much attention. He will be too forward-looking and backward in everything he does, and he will not be successful.

But Pierre and Galliani are naturally not willing to give up power to their opponents, especially Pierre Galliani. With his friendship with Prime Minister Bei, he will have a place in Milan, but once dad has made a complete decision The heir will definitely clear away the obstacles in the family for Barbara. Then, Pierre will become the former young man who is just waiting to die and do nothing, or he will still be an old man.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the governor-general Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan: We can all surrender to Cao Cao, but you, my lord, cannot.

This time, Pierre and Galliani used the excuse of defense issues to get angry at the team. On the surface, they were criticizing Ancelotti's tactics and personnel. In fact, the drunkard's intention was not to drink. Their target was Maldini.

They used the pressure of "the defense conceded too many goals" to force the team's defense to speed up the upgrading, which meant forcing Maldini to retire. The only way to do this was to remove Maldini, the leader with huge prestige in the team, and drive him away. With Milanello out, he is no longer qualified to have a say internally, and only then can Pierre have the possibility of a comeback.

Moreover, it is indeed a sad fact that Maldini's competitive level has seriously declined this season. His ability is obviously no longer enough to shoulder the mission of being the core of the team's defense. All this makes Pierre and Galliani's The insinuations became well-targeted. Although Maldini did not play in the game against Naples, it did not prevent them from putting the Cavaliers at the forefront.

Naturally, Pierre and Galliani are not alone. They also have huge media power behind them. Under the quarrel and clamor of public opinion, Maldini, who has attached great importance to his reputation throughout his life, did not escape. He very frankly admitted that he His presence hindered the upgrading of the team's defense, and he immediately made the decision to retire at the end of the season.

This time, the Cavaliers are serious and have disclosed their retirement timetable to the media for the first time. Maldini will not slap himself in the face for this kind of thing.

Therefore, a big-scoring game that basically had nothing to do with Maldini became a precise attack by Pierre and Galliani. They finally succeeded. Next season, Barbara will lose her biggest support among the players. It's not certain who will win.
