Chapter 738 Best Defender Favalli

In the 39th minute of the first half, Pato and Inzaghi cooperated with each other at the front of the penalty area and then volleyed, allowing Arthur to make a grasshopper-like save. This was AC Milan's most threatening attack so far in the game.

Those who came to Rome today were not kind, and they immediately returned the favor. Pizarro was tackled by Ambrosini after breaking through Pirlo in the frontcourt. The referee awarded a direct free kick 25 meters away from the goal.

Facing the tight wall of people, Totti feinted, Pizarro also feinted and fired lightly, and Riise followed up and opened fire. Riise was the most famous slugger in the Premier League at that time. His long-range shot once broke the opponent's arm. This shell exploded directly towards the half goal that was not blocked by the human wall with hiss and anger. Zhuo Yang in the center of the human wall could feel its explosion.

The shell was about to pass over the wall. Favalli, who was on the innermost side, suddenly collapsed and used his chest to block the football. A tough guy's choice!

‘Boom! ’ After a heavy muffled sound, the cannonball fell in front of Favalli. What a pharaoh, with a calm expression and no breath, and a body of steel and iron, completely unaware of the heavy blows.

Pharaoh is already 37 years old, and his contract with an annual salary of 3.5 million will expire next summer. Pharaoh has no plans to renew the contract, nor does he plan to terminate the contract early. It will be up when it is due, and he will get as much money as he deserves. Time and money neither increase nor decrease.

Many senior and high-paying contracts are weighing heavily on AC Milan, and Favalli is one of them, but he cannot be blamed for this. When he came from Inter Milan three years ago, it was a free transfer. AC Milan actually did not lose money. Besides, high salary is high salary, but Pharaoh is not overpaid and incompetent.

AC Milan has made rapid progress this season. The defense is not as important as the offensive end, and it has not conceded too many goals. Favalli did not play many games this season, barely 20 games, and most of them were substitutes. Half of the substitute appearances were garbage time. However, in the "Gazzetta dello Sport" rating of all defenders in Serie A this season, Favalli ranked first among the defenders in the Milan team with an average of 618 points.

This ranking only lists defenders who have played more than half of the games. Nesta only recovered from his injury after February and played too few games and is not included in the statistics. Pompon Luis ranks second among Milan defenders with 603 points. Others include Colts, Kaladze, Bonera, Yancu, and Zambu, all of whom averaged less than 6 points.

In the ranking of central defenders in Serie A, Pharaoh also ranks fourth, only slightly lower than Juventus' Chiellini, Lello Taglie and Roma's Mexes. Such a Favali, who is always strong and can fight when called upon, has more than 3.5 million?

Pharaoh knew that the club wanted to focus on rectifying the high-paying contracts of veterans, so he had already expressed his attitude to the senior management: I am not hypocritical. I will retire after the contract is executed in the summer of 2010. Don't be pretentious. Don't think about my contract before this happens.

Favalli came from the Lazio team that was "the first in the history of the earth to spend more than 100 million yuan" in the 1999-00 season. His love for the Blue Eagles during that period exceeded any other team. After Lazio went bankrupt, their soaring blue eagles fell apart, and Favalli never loved other teams so much.

Ten years have passed in a hurry. Mancini became the coach, Mihajlovic retired, Maceggiani, Pancaro, Salas, and Yugovic have all retired. This summer, Nedvi Germany is also going to retire. Looking at the Apennines, now only Favalli and Nesta are still remembering the Blue Eagles that haunted them under the night sky in Milanello.

When Favalli and Nesta were chatting, they would occasionally lament that Cragnotti really dared to spend money at that time. Among the top 12 transfers in world football that summer,

Lazio alone accounted for six. Favalli and Nesta sometimes joke that if Zhuoyang appeared ten years ago, Cragnotti would probably let Lazio occupy seven of them. The two of them would occasionally guess what Zhuo Yang was worth ten years ago.

Favalli and Nesta both like Zhuo Yang, and they even admire him a little. They both agree that after Maldini retires, Zhuo Yang is the most suitable and only suitable captain for AC Milan.

Favalli and Nesta were both captains of Lazio. They were prosperous and had no desire or interest in the captaincy of Milan, but they knew very well what qualities were needed to be a qualified captain in a wealthy team. In their opinion, Ambrosini lacked toughness at critical moments, and was less graceful in the locker room than usual; Gattuso was tough enough, but his pattern was not big, and he had a lot of false fire in his toughness; Pirlo's character was too Moderate, he can serve as a leader in a group composed entirely of highly intelligent and extremely self-disciplined people, but not in a mixed football club.

Only Zhuoyang has all the qualities to inherit Maldini's mantle. This kid is far from a perfect person. He has many shortcomings, but it is these shortcomings that have become one of his qualities.

Compared with Nesta, Favali and Zhuo Yang have an extra sense of intimacy. The eldest niece Angelica Giannini now worships Zhuoyang as an idol, worshiping her like a crazy fan. Her fourth uncle Favali has also seen Zhuoyang carefully inspire and tutor his precious niece's playing skills several times. . Favali also joked with his niece privately in his spare time: "How about I go and match you up with your senior brother Zhuoyang and let him be my niece-in-law."

Unexpectedly, Angelica said to him seriously: "Fourth uncle, please don't make such jokes. You disrespect my senior brother very much." After saying this, Angelica's ears turned red.

The tough guy Jupese Fava used his cast-iron sternum to intercept the heavy cannon of Gerise. He fell to the ground and kicked forward as the Romans smacked his tongue, kicking the football to Zhuoyang who shot out of the wall like an arrow.

Zhuoyang felt sorry for the pharaoh who sacrificed his life to block the opponent's attention, but now was not the time to be pretentious. He stabbed three thousand miles away, bypassing the stunned Romans like idiots, and headed towards the frontcourt.

Because it was a free kick that was in an excellent position in the frontcourt and could be shot directly, Roma's defensive formation did not completely press forward and still had enough strength to be on guard. Zhuoyang advanced to the 40-meter line like a wind and met Mexes who came to stop him.

Knowing that this buddy has made great progress in the past two years, it would take a lot of effort to entangle him. Zhuo Yang did not hesitate, and while Mexes was still halfway, he picked the ball with his toe and gave it to Kaka on the left.

Kaka made a clever pass, but the football went to Pato who was following up on the other side without touching the ground. The duck rushed a little fiercely, but it couldn't stop him. He stopped suddenly and turned around. The ugly duckling spun like a swan version of ballet, and knocked the ball in the air with his heel to Inzaghi, who was following up in the middle.

After Jiuye blossomed, he not only improved his shooting level, but also developed the ability to assist. He once performed a hat trick of assists in the Milan Derby.

Jiuye jumped up and headed the ball lightly, throwing the small parabola of the football straight ahead. Zhuoyang also happened to pass through the gap between Motta and Juan. The football passed over Zhuo Yang's head and landed right in front of him.

Zhuoyang, who was running, shot out of his left foot and the ball jumped comfortably into the goal after experiencing a beautiful pass in the air. If this goal cannot be called flowing, then this idiom will be meaningless. Artur seemed unable to believe his eyes, and even rubbed them with his hands.

1:0, Zhuo Yang scored his 34th goal of the season, tying Yin Jiuye. The battle for the top scorer between them has yet to be decided.
