Golden Greenery

The game has ended two hours ago, and Zhuo Yang still can't believe what happened. Everything happened so unexpectedly that he suddenly had to re-evaluate Serie A and the sport of football.

In a game where AC Milan could win the 2008-09 Serie A championship two rounds ahead of schedule with one win, they lost 1:2 away to Udinese. This not only made the carefully prepared championship celebration an embarrassment, but also made the 76-game The league's undefeated streak also came to an abrupt end.

In this game, Zhuo Yang was automatically suspended due to a total of five yellow cards and did not go out with the team. He was not included in the squad with him, as well as Nesta, who sprained his foot in the game against Arsenal three days ago, and Nesta, who stretched his buttocks. Zi's ​​Kaka. But now AC Milan has a strong army and no shortage of first-class players to replace the three of them. The three captains Maldini, Ambrosini and Pirlo are working together.

Before the game, no one, including Zhuo Yang and Ancelotti, thought about failure, because 76 games is a huge psychological inertia. Everyone believes that it has become a truth that Milan does not lose in the league.

In fact, since the 36th round of the 2006-07 season started on May 13, 2007, Milan has only lost three games in the 90 minutes of all official games, namely 2:3 at home in the Champions League this season. Fort Madi and Manchester United 2:3 away. In addition to these two games, there was another game, which was the 1:3 loss to Catania in the 1/8 finals of the 2007-08 FA Cup on December 20, 2007. However, that game was AC Milan's strategic abandonment. Can't count. Kaka's younger brother Deegan was temporarily transferred from the second team to serve as central defender. His three mistakes caused Milan to be eliminated from the FA Cup.

For two years, there were only three defeats on all fronts, which made the Milan people forget what it felt like to lose in the league and how to lose.

This psychological inertia made the Milan people ignore that their opponent Udinese had won five consecutive games before. What can vaguely remain in everyone's memory is the 6:1 slaughter of Udinese at home at San Siro in the 17th round of the first half of the schedule. The army was defeated.

The Milanese also ignored Inter Milan coach Mourinho's deafening warning before the game: "AC Milan will definitely make mistakes, and Inter Milan still has a chance." Everyone thought this was just Mourinho being stubborn and ignored Mourinho. The gossip that has caused headaches for Italian football and the strength of Inter Milan in recent years.

Udine is only a little over 300 kilometers away from Milan, but the Milan club still prepared a charter flight for the team after the afternoon game. What awaited them in the city of Milan were decorated floats and a carefully planned celebration route around the world. But now it's all turned to ridicule and embarrassment.

Although there are still five games in total, the Milanese believe that there are only three left, the 36th round with Udinese, the FA Cup final with Sampdoria, and the Champions League final with Barcelona. Each of these three games determines a championship, and Udinese is the most unsuspicious of them all.

But obviously, the Udinese people didn't think so, and neither did the referee.

In the first 25 minutes of the game, AC Milan had the advantage on the field as always. The front trident composed of Borriello, Pato, and Seedorf threatened Udinese's goal many times. It felt like it was only a matter of time before a goal was scored.

In the 28th minute, during the counterattack, D'Agostino's midfielder suddenly sent his left foot over the top. Flores turned offside and unloaded the ball with his left foot. Maldini turned around and tackled the ball firmly, and Flores also lost his center of gravity. Smashed to the ground. The referee believed that Maldini had tackled someone first and then left the ball, and awarded a penalty kick.

Before the game, Mourinho's vows put a lot of pressure on the referee, and there was something in Inter Milan's words that made the enforcers in this field afraid of being caught. In principle, this ball can be ruled or not, and it is more likely that it will not be ruled normally, because Maldini's ball-protecting actions are still very obvious. But in today's game, a decision must be made, because AC Milan may not care about a penalty kick, but Inter Milan is watching with wide eyes.

Not only was the decision awarded, but Maldini was given the last yellow card of his career for arguing.

Without Zhuo Yang’s dancing arms and legs,

Dida was easily pushed in the opposite direction by D'Agostino. Abbiati suffered a backache before the game and Dida started in the league for the first time this season.

Perhaps feeling that something was not going well, Ancelotti replaced Flamini with Inzaghi, the Serie A killer, as soon as the second half started. Matthew, perhaps because of the excitement of being about to make a fortune, ran like a striker in the first half.

Master Jiu is an old military doctor who specializes in treating braggarts. In the 51st minute, he cooperated with Anuboriello in the penalty area and then pushed the ball into the net. However, the linesman signaled that Anuboriello's pass had been offside before. The slow-motion display proved that the linesman was right, and Anu had indeed stretched out half of his shoulder.

The slow motion of the TV was played over and over a dozen times to confirm. You have to admire the linesman's sharp eyesight that goes beyond high-speed slow motion.

In the 61st minute, D'Agostino took a corner kick from the left, Bonera missed the top, Zapata volleyed into the net from the back point 5 meters away, Udinese 2-0.

At this time, everyone felt something was wrong. Ancelotti went all out and brought on Shevchenko and Ronaldinho to strengthen the attack, but Udinese's counterattack became smoother and hit the goalpost twice in the 76th and 90th minutes. With such an excellent performance, Udinese only led by two goals. In fact, they were more wronged than Milan.

It wasn't until the 3rd minute of stoppage time that AC Milan got a pass from Ronaldinho from the left, and Inzaghi's Mirage header in the penalty area regained a point. Jiuye scored his 34th goal of the season. Milan lost 1:2 away from home, and the unbeaten record was fixed at 76 games.

The Milan people who were at a loss after the game all hoped that Siena could stop Inter Milan in another game that would start later, so that everyone could still go home with the championship. However, Inter Milan, whose morale was boosted after gloating over the misfortune, relied on the goals of Figo, Balotelli and Ibrahimovic to cleanly defeat the opponent 3:0 at Meazza, and also cut off the neighbors' efforts to steal the light.

The lead was still four points, with only two rounds left in the game. What is even more difficult for AC Milan to accept than failing to win the championship in advance is that the league's undefeated streak is just gone? Really stopped?

From the 36th round of the 06-07 season to the end of the 36th round of the 08-09 season, for two full years, 38 times 2 equals 76. It seems to be destined. Originally, both Zhuoyang and the Milan people thought that the undefeated streak would continue like this. Even if it didn't last forever, there should be no suspense about breaking the 100 mark. Even if you don't bother to break 100, winning the championship undefeated in the season should be a natural decision.

But now the new unbeaten record in the five major leagues has finally been set - 76 games!

Although melancholy, it is still brilliant. I don’t know when someone will come after me and can barely look up to its peak, let alone when someone will climb up again.

The originally planned first crown failed to arrive as scheduled, leaving Milan with no chance of losing the second crown. Four days later, the FA Cup final between Rome's Stadio Olimpico and Sampdoria must not let the trophy go unscheduled, because this championship is different from the league, and overdue means no time.

This will be a very ordinary football final in football history, but the game has set another record in the five major leagues and a record in world football, and this record has made Italian football so embarrassing.
