AC Milan "Knight Table" many people don't know. This is a player organization that existed in the "Martini era". In the most glorious years of AC Milan, this organization used to "press the palace" in terms of player transfers, tactical play, and even the appointment of the head coach. The existence of this small group created the "Milan dynasty" on the one hand, and on the other hand made Milan "hard to return." Today, I will show you this mysterious "Milan Knights Table".
The origin of the "Milan Knights Table".
"Knight Table" originated from an ordinary table in "AC Milan Canteen". In the beginning, Baresi, Maldini, Tassotti, and Costacuta often had dinner together. These four people are the original members of the "Knight Table". But in the "Bellustini era", he believed that the existence of the "cavaliers table" helped unite the team, so he recognized the status of the "cavaliers table" and turned the "cavaliers table" into a player and a team A bridge for high-level communication. Any need or contradiction will be mediated by the "Knight Table"! But later, the "Milan Knights Table" became more and more difficult to control. Desailly even said in his autobiography that "they are the ones who can control the club"!
Baresi, "AC Milan Knights Table" leader. Played in Milan for 20 years, started as captain at the age of 22 and participated in 719 games. In 1997, the "Milan Purge" was retired with the number "6".
Maldini, his father was once an AC Milan player, he joined AC Milan academy at the age of 10. In Milan for 31 years, until retirement. The actual creator of the "Knight Table".
Tassotti, played for AC Milan for 17 years, played 424 times. In 1980, Milan dropped to Serie B due to a match-fixing storm, and the players "worked out." This man actually came from Lazio to defect and assist the team to return to Serie A. Retired during the "Milan Purge" in 1997.
Costa Curta, played for AC Milan for 30 years and played until 41 years old. He is the oldest player in the UEFA Champions League. In 2001, he sought a transfer to the American Major League and was stopped by Milan. And played until 2007.
They are all Italian defenders who have played for AC Milan for a long time and are loyal. In the words of Maldini, "Only the real Milanese can join the "Knights' Table"." Z10z once wanted to join the stars such as Papan, Deselli and Weah, but they were all refused. And AC Milan actually formed many factions around the "Knight's Table", just like a court drama. Let me show you one by one.
"Milan Knights Table" opposition.
If you want to find a big boss who opposes the "Knight's Table", then it is the "master" Galliani. Z10z Galliani believes that the traditional "family" organization "Knight's Table" is not suitable for Milan. His goal is to build Milan into a modern club with a corporate operating model. So it is against the "Knight's Table" everywhere. But I think he is specially sent by Mr. Bei to "do things" to check and balance the power of "Knight's Table". When sold Milan at Bellustini and bought a Serie C club Monza, he brought Galliani over again.
is the rival of the "Knight Table". The most popular one was a fight with Maldini. Maldini farewell game, ballThere were extreme fans insulting Maldini in the South Stand. Maldini hopes that the club can support him. But Galliani instructed the club to remain silent. After the game, Maldini rushed into Galliani's office and the two had a heated argument. Ambrosini and Gattuso stood at the door, daring not to enter. Later, Galliani published an open letter on AC Milan’s official website, saying, “I’m not speaking out because I’m afraid that extreme fans will hurt me. If you don’t want things to happen, just shut me up!” The two are like water and fire. This is also Marti. The reason why Nepal did not enter the management after retiring.
Galliani has many contradictions with the "Knight Table".
In 2001, the Turkish coach Trim, nicknamed "The King", briefly coached AC Milan. Galliani instructed him to weaken the "Knight's Table". Trim started with Costacurta, who was his masterpiece when he almost moved to the United States in 2001. This was strongly opposed by Maldini, and even publicly stated, "Trim's tactics are not suitable for Milan, Milan players will not implement his tactics." In the last game, Inzaghi took a penalty shot and lost the game. Trim was dismissed from get out of class. The successor of is Ancelotti, who has a relationship with the members of the "Knight Table".
Trim, who brought Milan a UEFA Cup title during his tenure, but was "made out" by the "cavaliers table".
Shepchenko had many conflicts with Maldini when he was in Milan. The most intense episode of was the "Istanbul Night" that was reversed by Liverpool in 2005. During the intermission, Shepchenko wanted to open champagne to celebrate in advance, and a heated argument broke out with Maldini. As a result, the team had no intention to fight in the second half and was reversed by Liverpool to win the championship. was transferred to Chelsea in 2006. In 2008, he was loaned back to AC Milan and was positioned as the "fifth forward" by then coach Ancelotti, without a chance to play.
It is said that Shepchenko's transfer to Chelsea was forced by the "knights table".
Weah once led other black players to resist the "Knight's Table" in AC Milan. The reason is that he does not want to be "oppressed," in fact, he feels that his status in the locker room is low. once tried to win over the "pro-riding faction" Desailly to "make things" together. Once in the locker room, Weah said to Desailly, "Call me brother, I will cover you." Desailly said, "Go!" Z9z Later, Weah became the president of Liberia, and the blacks were born with a spirit of resistance. .
Weah, the 1995 "Golden Globe" winner, a generation of superstars. Awesome!
Leonardo and the "Brazilian Gang". It can be said that Leonardo introduced the Brazilian to weaken the "cavaliers table." Brazilians are different from the Dutch, they are more like a swarm of people, Junior, Rivaldo, Cafu, Dida, Kaka, Pato. And these people have played the main force. It can be regarded as successful completion of the "strategic goal."
It is worth mentioning that it is Leonardo's operation. Milan can sign Kaka at a very low price. Milan hero!
"Milan Knights Table" goodwill faction.
Desailly is a loyal fan of Baresi. Once Weah once failed to win him over, saying that he was "not working hard" in AC Milan, but he performed well in the World Cup. Desailly sarcastically said: "In AC Milan, Baresi is the only player I admire for . His old legs are the last to leave the training ground every day, and certain players who like to form gangs He doesn't deserve so many football players at all." And he also said in his autobiography, "No one loves the team more than these "cavaliers" and compares them with them. The transferred players are more like mercenaries. "" The inside story of "Knight's Table" was first revealed in Desailly's autobiography. Otherwise no one will know.
Desailly, his career is all over Ligue 1, Serie A, Premier League. One of the people who won the "Football Grand Slam".
Ambrosini is most popular at the "Knights' Table". Maldini called him "the real Milanese". After Baresi retired, Ambrosini joined the "Knights' Table". Later he got his wish and became the captain of Milan. However, he did not die in Milan. In 2013, Ambrosini moved to Florence, and "Knights Table" retired from the stage of Milan history.
Deselli said, "Ambrosini is the first foreign player to eat at that table."
"Milan Knights Table" is neutral.
Ancelotti is the only one who can balance Galliani, Bellusteni and the "Knight's Table", and can even use the power of one to balance the other two. It is not an exaggeration for to say that he was dancing on "three eggs". During his tenure, he publicly stated, "Whenever I see Tasotti (a member of the "Knights Table") sitting on the sidelines, I feel extremely safe." During his tenure, Ancelotti was dealing with the three major forces. While playing a game of your own style.
Ancelotti is the real master.
Pirlo was not seen by the "Cnight's Table" because he replaced Albertini. Albertini was trained as a "successor" by the "Knight's Table". After Ancelotti took office, he bought Pirlo to replace Albertini, who went away directly. (It is said that Ancelotti "reported private vengeance.") and Pirlo is too greedy for his position in the team and can accept a salary cut, but he must start, otherwise he will have to transfer. is considered disloyal by the "Knight's Table" at this point.
Pirlo, played for AC Milan for 10 years. Made great contributions to Milan. Because the head coach Allegri could not guarantee his main position. In 2011, he joined the league rival Juventus as a free agent.
Seedorf is also different from Ancelotti, he does not have the ability to deal with forces, but he is a good man. Seedorf is very helpful and often helps new players who have just come to the team. And with President Pei, Ancelotti, and Maldini are very good relations. So he is very respected in the team.
"good guy" Seedorf. The most difficult time for AC Milan. The club asked him to retire to coach Milan. Seedorf cried directly at the press conference. I really love this club!
"The Dutch Three Musketeers" and the "Knight Table" do not offend the river. But Baresi thought, "They're here to pan for gold!" 's life is very hurtful. If one of the "Three Musketeers" is a thorn, it must be Gullit. Because he didn't deal with the other two "comrades", even dared to attack Capello, and was finally driven off by the latterBus.
"The Dutch Three Musketeers". Gullit on the left. The personality is blatant and unruly.
Nesta was very troublesome to AC Milan. Z10z Maldini publicly stated many times at the time that he hoped the team would introduce Nesta. They were all taken back by Galliani. Later, some fans put up banners at the game: "Chairman, please bring us Nesta." Bellusteni dug him over from Lazio. Z9z Maldini and Nesta have a very good relationship, and even hope that he will be the captain of Milan after he retires. As a result, Nesta said, "I will always be the captain of Lazio."
Nesta "be in Cao Ying and heart in Han". Lazio inside!
