Chapter 15 AC Milan vs. Brescia (Part 2) “Paul is really…
To secure a victory and prove his mettle to Berlusconi and Galliani in the stands, Ancelotti fielded his strongest possible lineup. Instead of the usual Christmas tree formation, he opted for a 4-3-1-2 formation. The starting lineup consisted of Abbiati, Cafu, Nesta, Costacurta, and Maldini in defense, with Gattuso, Pirlo, and Seedorf in the defensive midfield. Kaka played in attacking midfield, and Shevchenko and Tomasson were in attack.
Rosalia, unfamiliar with football tactics and formations, joined the excited fans in singing the Milan anthem before the game and even did a human wave as the players from both teams lined up to high-five. The stadium's cameras captured the lively atmosphere in the stands and projected it onto a giant screen.
While the captain was arguing with the referee, Kaka hid beside his teammates, shielding his eyes from the sun, trying to find his girlfriend. With his constant boasting, almost the entire AC Milan team knew that Kaka's girlfriend would be watching the game today.
Curious, Shevchenko put his arm around Kaka's shoulders, covered his mouth with one hand and asked, "Have you found her? Where is she?"
Before Kaka could answer, another hand came up on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Gattuso had moved to the seat next to him. He also came over and said, "Yeah, haven't found it yet?"
He laughed softly, "Could it be that they don't want you anymore?"
Kaka smiled and responded with an elbow. Subconsciously, Gattuso slapped him on the back. The two men were playing so loudly that Maldini, who was standing in front of them, turned around and gave them a warning look.
"Paul is so scary." Kaka sighed.
Shevchenko, who was watching the fire from the other side, looked puzzled: "Really? Paul is a very gentle person. You must have seen it wrong."
Recalling the time when he was caught going to a nightclub with Maldini and ended up being the only one scolded, Costacurta looked up at the sky in silence. There was nothing to communicate with these guys.
"Oh, there!" Kaka suddenly saw Rosalia in the audience. She was standing next to Chairman Berlusconi. The two were talking about something, and Berlusconi patted her shoulder with a loving look on his face.
For some reason, Kaka felt that Leah was not as happy as she seemed. He raised his hands and waved them vigorously in that direction.
Kaka, the new arrival, has become the Rosenneries' favorite after a season of performance. Seeing him so energetic before the game and interacting with the audience, everyone also raised their scarves in response to him.
The conversation was interrupted by a sudden noise in the stadium. Rosalia subconsciously looked inside and saw Kaka waving on the big screen. Following the position of the camera, the two looked at each other from a distance.
Seeing Leah looking at him, Kaka waved his hands even more vigorously, and the smile on his face became wider and wider. His silly look made the camera unable to help but stay in front of him.
Perhaps the interaction lasted a bit too long, or perhaps it was because the Milan players nearby were all looking in that direction, so the audience noticed something was wrong. They looked in the direction the players were looking, and only two familiar old men, Berlusconi and Galliani, were standing there. It turned out that they were interacting with the chairman!
Tsk, what's so good about that old man? I thought it was someone's family member who came.
The Rossoneri rolled their eyes and, under the organization of the person in charge, put their arms around each other's shoulders and sang the Milan team song again.
Rosalia, who had slipped away early, breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat. Berlusconi had just spotted her and called her over to ask about her parents' situation and whether her brother had returned from the African savannah. He then praised her for her business acumen and decisive management of the company.
Rosalia ignored what he said the whole time. She had long since mastered the skill of pretending someone's soul had drifted away in various formal occasions. She was just waiting for Berlusconi to finish the greetings and get to the point.
"...I heard that you have a good relationship with Ricardo?" After a lot of roundabout talk, Berlusconi finally finished the preparations and said what he wanted to ask most, even though he already knew the answer to this question.
"Yes, we are in love." Rosalia admitted generously.
"Oh, that's great, young man." Berlusconi turned to Galliani and exclaimed, then smiled at Rosalia, "Ricardo is a good kid. He's excellent in character, behavior, and football. You two should get along well. If you encounter any difficulties, just come to me or Adriano."
Berlusconi introduced Galliani to Rosalia and asked the two to exchange contact information before letting her go.
Suddenly, a noise from the audience interrupted Rosalia's recollection. She turned her attention to the field and found that the score had changed. Milan scored a goal!
The big screen began to replay the wonderful moment just now:
In the 35th minute of the game, Kaka got the ball in the middle, and he easily got rid of the defender with a dribble, dribbling the ball straight into the penalty area and passed it in. But Tomasson on the right got the ball first, and he sent a low shot in front of the goal, and the ball fell into the net.
AC Milan leads Brescia 1:0!
Even Rosalia, who knows nothing about football, could see the brilliance of this series of cooperation. She stood up with the fans and applauded the players. When Kaka looked over after celebrating with his teammates, she blew him a kiss.
Perhaps this goal was a good start, Milan became more and more courageous, and expanded the score again just two minutes later.
Brescia's goalkeeper deflected a powerful shot from Cafu, but the force was too much for him to control, and the ball bounced to Shevchenko's feet. The Ukrainian took it in stride and slotted home with a simple right-footed finish.
Since then, Milan leads 2:0!
Even in injury time, Baggio took the free kick himself. The football drew an arc in the air and passed over the wall of players, but was ruthlessly blocked by the goal post and bounced out of bounds. The referee decisively blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.
Kaka returned to the locker room with his teammates. Rosalia suspected they needed to change their tactics and address any shortcomings, so she sent a complimenting text message. Sure enough, she received no reply. But she didn't find it strange, so she put her phone in her pocket and prepared to go get a Coke.
"Hello, are you Kaka's girlfriend?"
The sudden question startled Rosalia. She looked over subconsciously and saw that the person who spoke was a tall lady with long light blonde hair that fell behind her shoulders and sparkled in the sunlight.
Rosalia noticed she looked familiar and answered hesitantly, "Yes, I am. May I ask who you are?"
The woman seemed relieved that she hadn't recognized the wrong person. She smiled and stood over to greet Rosalia: "I'm Kristen Patzik, Shevchenko's fiancée."
Oh! That handsome guy from Eastern Europe!
Rosalia knew about this teammate who interacted a lot with Kaka and was even very popular on the Internet.
"Hello, I'm Rosalia Bianchi." Rosalia greeted her warmly. If nothing unexpected happened, the two would have many opportunities to meet in the future, so there was no need to make enemies.
And she was also very curious about how the other party recognized her.
In response, Pazik smiled and said, "Since you two met, Kaka has often mentioned you to Andre, asking how to send you messages and asking Andre if I think this necklace is appropriate for you."
She was referring to the rose necklace Kaka gave her that day, which was now worn around Rosalia's neck.
Rosalia subconsciously touched the rose pendant on her necklace and thanked her sincerely: "Thank goodness I have you. I can't imagine what a few grown men like them can give."
Recalling the gifts Sheva gave him in the early days of their relationship, Pazik expressed the same sentiment.
"man!"
The two ladies quickly developed a mutual sympathy and went to the store together to buy some drinks. When they came back, the second half of the game had just begun.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Brescia scored a goal.
In the 59th minute, Gattuso broke through the middle, Kaka received the ball and broke into the penalty area from the left. After breaking through two defensive players, he again passed the ball sideways to dodge the third defender who rushed up.
His movements were clean and sharp, his pace was extremely fast, reminding Rosalia of the "Brazilian Elf" the fans had called him in the store earlier. But she felt Kaka was more like a snow wolf, usually smiling like a Samoyed, but showing his fierce side in front of the goal.
Unfortunately, this wonderful attack did not score a goal. After Kaka's shot was blocked, Thomason stepped forward and headed the ball, but the ball flew out of the goal again at an incredible angle after crossing the goal line. Kaka took the opportunity to step forward and shot the ball into the net.
But the ball had just been scored and the goal was credited to Thomason.
In the 66th minute, substitute Rui Costa scored through the groin and Milan extended the lead to 4:1. In the 69th minute, Brescia tied the score to 4:2.
Baggio and Redondo's farewell match allowed the fans to put aside their past grudges and stand up to applaud and cheer for the two.
Maybe this is the charm of football, Rosalia thought. Here at this moment, everyone is full of pure emotions and blessings, offering the love of fans.
