Chapter 403: Lazy League Cup (page 1/1)

The heavy cloud that Ronaldo suffered another tragic knee injury suppressed the hearts of everyone in Milanello. Three days later, when the team went to Norway to play in the top 32 knockout rounds of the UEFA Cup, Zhuoyang and his teammates still had not recovered from their emotions.

Early the morning before yesterday, the Milan Laboratory held a press conference. Reporters from all over the world filled the Milanello Press Hall and the road outside. The Milan laboratory disclosed Ronaldo's injury and stated that it would immediately start consultations with Ronaldo on the surgical issue. Club CEO Galliani personally appeared at the press conference. He told the media that Ronaldo's injury will not affect AC Milan and his contract renewal plan, and everything will proceed as scheduled according to the original plan.

AC Milan's attitude has won praise from all over the world, but what everyone is most concerned about is whether Ronaldo can once again gallop on the green field. Regarding this, the Milan laboratory did not give a clear answer. It only said that everything depends on the situation of the surgery and the 32-year-old Ronaldo's own efforts.

When the team set off to Norway, Ronaldo also decided to go to Paris for surgery. The second complete rupture of the patellar ligament in his right knee eight years ago was repaired there. Brazilian national television sent a working group to cover Ronaldo's surgery and postoperative conditions.

Yesterday morning, Ronaldo, accompanied by his girlfriend Maria Beatriz, personal physiotherapist Bruno and Milan laboratory doctor Sara, went to Milan to challenge Norwegian club Rosenborg in an away game. The clinic is one of the most famous hospitals in Europe. One, Princess Diana was sent here for rescue after she had a car accident that year.

However, Dr. Seyon, who personally performed surgery on Ronaldo 8 years ago, has retired. He will accompany Ronaldo as a surgical consultant this time, and the surgeon will be Dr. Seyon's eldest disciple Enrique Rolland.

The operation is expected to take two hours, which is about the same length as a game.

In the 2007-08 UEFA Cup season, there was only one Italian team in the top 32, AC Milan. In fact, from the beginning of the group stage, only AC Milan was left fighting alone. The other three teams all failed in the third qualifying round and failed to even enter the group stage with 40 teams participating.

Palermo was eliminated by Czech Boreslav twice 0:1; Sampdoria lost to Aalborg, Denmark due to away goals; Empoli was frustrated by Zurich, Switzerland 4:2 in two rounds. The three teams made waves in Serie A, but in the European competition, they all failed to be defeated by non-rich teams.

The decline of Serie A is not the decline of the top three in the north, but the decline of the mid-tier teams. They are no longer competitive in Europe. The glory of the "Little World Cup" was precisely due to the majestic "Seven Sisters". At that time, any Serie A team would make everyone feel like a formidable enemy in the European arena.

The third-placed teams in the eight groups of the Champions League and the 24 qualifying teams in the UEFA Cup will form the top 32, but there is no Serie A presence among those eight teams.

However, the four teams participating in the Champions League are not shabby. In addition to the embarrassing Lazio, which is at the bottom of the group, Inter Milan, Roma, and Fiorentina have all reached the Champions League. Serie A still advanced as the first in the group.

There were no major upsets in this year's Champions League. All star teams from traditional giants advanced successfully, which also made AC Milan's presence in the UEFA Cup so eye-catching. To be honest, UEFA actually hopes that Milan can continue to go forward more than the AC Milan club itself. Zhuo Yang and Kaka can compete with the stars of Champions League 1.

Milan's opponent today, Rosenborg, drifted from the Champions League. They lost to Chelsea and Schalke 04 in Group B, but beat Valencia to become third.

Rosenborg in the Norwegian Super League is equivalent to Manchester United in the Premier League. They either win the Norwegian Super League championship every three to five years, or they win it three times in a row. In the past, 1 played 1 and there was a terrifying 13th consecutive championship.

If he were not to be called a family man, the term would be meaningless.

Nordic mythology, one of the six major mythological systems in the world, is actually Norse mythology. Rosenberg rules the sky in eastern Scandinavia like the mythical god Odin. In the Middle Ages, repression from the Roman Empire destroyed all the Norse myths that were considered heresies. Now, it is not that easy for AC Milan from the Apennines to easily defeat Rosenborg.

At the Lekendall Stadium in Trondheim, Norway's third largest city, AC Milan had more than 70% of the ball in the first 23 minutes of the game, but they lost the ball first in the 24th minute.

Jankulovski fouled while defending Vidal Riese on the left wing and gave his opponent a free kick. After Slovak midfielder Makere Zapala kicked out, the close Kaladze failed to follow up. Full-back Kopinan shot from 5 meters in front of the goal and broke Dida's goal.

Maybe it's because of the cold weather in Norway, but more because Ronaldo's surgery worries everyone. AC Milan players are very out of shape, and so is Zhuoyang. Like his teammates, he faced the iron wall of the Norwegians. He had superior foot skills, but he could only focus most of his energy on ineffective passes, and there was not much offensive creativity and inspiration.

Milan's striker today is partnered by Inzaghi and Pato, with Zhuoyang as the attacking midfielder who plays with a false right but a solid midfielder, and his old friend Kaka plays a false left midfielder. Behind them is the gold medal pair of Gattuso and Pirlo.

The state of Inzaghi on the striker cannot be mentioned. It would be strange if he was outstanding now. After Pato passed the initial excitement period as a rookie, he has also begun to recover recently. But compared with Pawlowski of the same age, even if the technical Pato is in poor condition, he can still contribute to the team in other aspects.

In the 57th minute of the second half, Zhuoyang and Pato exchanged positions on the field. Pato interrupted the ball with his opponent's retreating winger Traore.

Last November, the English media led by "The Sun" selected the top 20 rookies. Pato ranked second among them, and the second to last on this list was the 1st striker Abdul Te Laurel. In the battle between the two oldest boys, Pato, who is one year younger, has the upper hand.

After stealing the ball, Pato used his technique and speed to get rid of Traore's counterattack. During the counterattack, he crossed diagonally with Kaka. After Kaka took the ball, he passed the ball at a 45-degree angle without waiting for the ball. Zhuoyang and Inzaghi were stuck in front of the three central defenders while running forward at high speed.

The 1.93 meter central defender Strand was unable to jump over Zhuoyang. After spreading his wings and straightening his back, Zhuoyang threw the football into the goal.

1:1, this away draw was both lazy and difficult for AC Milan. It’s not that they didn’t want to win, but they didn’t seem to have much motivation to win or lose. It's not that you can't defeat the opponent, but it seems that there aren't many options.

After the game, the latest news came from Paris: Ronaldo's patellar ligament surgery on his left knee was a complete success!
