milanhime夜未眠

米蘭在3月26日起回復到夏令時間, 所以3月25日的夜晚,為了讓所有的人習慣時間的轉換,所以他們真的有一個節日進行.....據Romi San說,當晚的名稱叫做."整夜不睡的夜晚"(Notte Bianca),  所以米蘭城開不夜....各種慶典舉行,所有的交通工具照樣運行,所以....就把這個大家夜晚都不睡覺的米蘭夜晚,當成是為了慶祝米蘭上半賽季輸球給Fio之後的顏面挽回的獲勝吧!

Milan 3 – 1 Fiorentina    R-31    2006/3/25   

Fiorentina的紳士教頭在賽前說，在開賽十五分鐘內要對米蘭有所收穫！嗯！很有一套，熟知米蘭需要熱身暖車才能起動的毛病！Toni果然不負眾望，一開賽先是一腳讓所有米蘭陣線虛驚一場，十五分鐘內倒是真的就把握機會攻入Dida所防守的球門！而米蘭，前十分鐘製造了一堆擺明就是要浪費掉的角球，這些沒有威脅性的定位球攻擊，或許是想要「鬆懈」敵方防守意識也說不定….XD…..anyway, 至少雙方你來我往….米蘭的表現看來還蠻積極的！

第一球，漂亮！Sheva Goal！Pirlo一個恰到好處的美妙傳球！

第二球，漂亮！Kaka Heading！Billy寶刀未老的精準傳球！

第三球，漂亮！Rino Shooting！Milanello老室友Brocchi的掩護式助攻！

米蘭的三個得分攻擊，一個比一個精彩！

上賽季的米蘭御用解說在第一個進球時說，這一球是靠球員個人技術奏效的！在第二個進球時他說，這陣子正在思考Kaka這個人的缺點時，原本覺得他的頭球嘛……結果這一場他就以頭球建功！或許就是因為沒有人會想到Kaka會頭球，才會沒有人近身防守，造成Kaka能夠為自己創造一個如此漂亮的機會！第三個球時，基本上是沒有人想到Rino這一個球會入網……

從來沒有一場比賽會如此的關注替補席的動靜，哈！這一場比賽就是了！當米蘭眾將在場上隊長Billy的拼命奔跑下，打好了今日贏球的基礎後，就知道這個人將會上場了！

是說，解說跟主播都沒有我等人眼尖，當鏡頭已經刻意帶上場邊米蘭球員熱身的影像時，他們兩人都沒意會到什麼事情正在發生，跟著場邊熱身的「常客」Rui跑步的人是誰？他們兩人竟然一點都沒注意到，只提到了Rui的名字！可是….我們只差沒在轉播時直接按下Still的靜止畫面功能好好的將他看個夠…..XD…..跟著Rui一起跑步一邊聊天的他，一臉的輕鬆，顯得異常的年輕！

Billy大哥實在是太偉大了！仗著剛剛簽約續約一年的勢頭，本場比賽一直深入敵境傳球，雖然也讓我一度擔心他的回防問題，不過，真的是他用經驗的站位彌補了一切，傳中球也一個比一個有威力！當他因傷自動請求下場時，接著就出現了本場比賽的一個經典畫面…….在現代激烈競爭的足球場上，想必沒有多少次機會可以看到上場替補及下場替換的球員兩人的年齡加起來將近八十歲的吧！

Billy下，Paolo上…..這是多麼難得的一幕呀！

基本上，隊長只是在進行恢復比賽臨場感覺的「試車」，不過看到他難得的出現在右邊衛的位置還是充滿了驚奇！隊長的臂章在Billy，Sheva的傳遞後，最後仍然是戴在Paolo隊長的身上！睽違三月的隊長，真是別來無恙呀！

一直很擔心的問題，沒想到Paolo隊長還是親口幫我們解決了！因為隊長說：「I do need to play at the moment to regain my match fitness and am at Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s disposal, but I don’t think I’ll start the game against Lyon.」

一出場就要出現在不是你死就是我活的歐洲賽場，真的….這個壓力實在太大了！私心作祟，可不希望隊長是在這種的狀況下復出！反正呀！Nesta和德比魔兩人都自動領到下週SerieA聯賽的免戰牌，雖然要舟車勞頓一下，客場面對Lecce的比賽，隊長可是一定要親自出馬才行的啦！

MALDINI: ‘Crowd’s reception was great’

MILAN - Paolo Maldini was back on the field tonight after a long absence. He said: ‘The crowd’s reception really made me feel great, but above anything else I am happy to be back playing with my team. I am not used to being out and it was difficult. I hope that my physical problems are behind me. I can’t yet play for a whole game. I will have to play to get back into shape. The team are doing well. This point of the season is fundamental. We are patient. We suffered a bit in the first half, but then we fought for this win. We are finishing the league on a good beat and our points show this. We must acknowledge Juve for what they have done, but we have also done a lot. After a difficult moment, we are back at our usual level.’

Maldini 'not ready' for Lyon   
 
Paolo Maldini made his comeback after four months out with a knee injury, but warns he probably isn’t fit enough to face Lyon on Wednesday.

“I do need to play at the moment to regain my match fitness and am at Coach Carlo Ancelotti’s disposal, but I don’t think I’ll start the game against Lyon,” noted the Milan captain.

The 37-year-old hadn’t made an official appearance since December 6 due to a recurring knee injury that some suggested would prompt an early retirement at the end of this season.

However, he played for the final 20 minutes of last night’s 3-1 win over Fiorentina and could show his face in the Champions League quarter-final in France next week.

Milan cut the gap from Serie A leaders Juventus to eight points, but Maldini is keeping his feet firmly on the ground.

“We are happy with Saturday’s results because they allow us to go five points clear of Inter in the race for second place. We are going well, but must keep an eye on realistic objectives.”

Ancelotti in awe of Costacurta   2006/03/25

 
Carlo Ancelotti admits he was amazed by Alessandro Costacurta's performance, while Cesare Prandelli blames Fiorentina’s midweek strains for this defeat.

“At the moment we are playing good football, are solid and run few risks,” said the Rossoneri Coach after tonight’s 3-1 win. “We are also comforted by the five-point lead we now have over Inter in third place, as that is what counts in Serie A now.”

Milan have also closed the gap from Juventus to just eight points following the 1-1 draw at the Delle Alpi with Roma, but Ancelotti already has his eyes on the Champions League quarter-finals with Lyon.

“We struggled a little in the first half, but improved as time went on and ended the game attacking dynamically, which is very reassuring. We didn’t have to use up too much energy ahead of Wednesday’s game either.”

Alessandro ‘Billy’ Costacurta was one of the most impressive players of the night in a right-back role, despite the fact he turns 40 next month, while Paolo Maldini made his first appearance in four months.

“I embraced Billy when he left the field, as I really didn’t expect such a great performance from him,” added his former teammate Ancelotti. “He was a fantastic full-back tonight and exceptional for his dynamism, so we should all forget his age and look at the man. As for Maldini, it was a positive comeback and he has recovered from that knee injury.”
