AC米兰:Dynasty of the Century

  On 16th December 1899, in Milan, a group of fans gathered in a room of the Hotel du Nord, and thus formally2 established the sports club which had actually long been active: the Milan Football && Cricket3 Club.

  That was the start of the glorious4 history of AC Milan, which has written memorable5 pages of football history thus becoming one of the strongest and most popular clubs in the world.

  The first two decades in AC Milan's history were very good. They won the first title in 1901 against Genoa6, one of the leading teams of the championship at that time. Two consecutive7 titles came in 1906 and 1907, the victims being Juve8 in 1906 and Torino9 in 1907. An important negative event took place in 1908, when a part of malcontents10 from the club formed a club named Internazionale Milano. The first match against Inter has been played on the 18th of October 1908, Milan winning 2-1. Then, the championship was interrupted during the First World War, when a Federal Cup11 was played, Milan winning it.

  The next period in the club history involves three Swedish players (Gunnar Gren, Gunnar Nordahl and Nils Liedholm), forming the Gre-No-Li trio12. The Italian clubs were allowed in that period to sign maximum five foreign players. Nordahl became the best scorer who played for AC Milan ever, scoring outstanding13 210 goals in 257 matches, an average of 0.81 goals per match. The other two were playing as midfielders14. With this trio, AC Milan won their next four Scudettos.

  One of the greatest periods in Milan's history began in the early 60's with the purchase of Gianni Rivera. In the 1963 Champions Cup15 played against Benfica Lisabona, Milan won 2-1 with two goals of the Brazilian Jose Altafini. In 1968 AC Milan won the Scudetto and the Cup Winners Cup16. The next year AC Milan won their second Champions Cup in history, simply smashing17 the Dutch18 side of Ajax Amsterdam19, with a great 4-1 win. This is also the year when Gianni Rivera won the European Footballer of the Year20 award. Until the mid 70's AC Milan became the most successful Italian team, winning a Cup Winners Cup, being finalists in another Cup Winners Cup and winning three Italian Cups. The bad thing was that Rivera's career came to the end. This was the beginning of the darkest period in the club's history.

  This is the best part of the worst part. In the latest part of the 1980 season a scandal21 about betting rose to the surface22. Two players from Milan and the president were involved. Due to their involvement, the club has been relegated23 to Serie B. Also one of the best parts of this period was the discovery of Franco Baresi. This dark period was over when the media billionaire24, Silvio Berlusconi, bought the team.

  The new president brought some new people in the club. Among them were Roberto Donadoni, the young Paolo Maldini and the three Dutchmen (Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard and Ruud Gullit). The new coach was the great midfielder of the 50's, Nils Liedholm. Liedholm's coaching career was not going so good and it was replaced by Ariggo Sacchi. With him at the helm25 Milan had won the title in 1987. A new era started.

  But the coach had a conflict with the Dutch superstar Marco van Basten and in 1992 there came a new coach in AC Milan, Fabio Capello. He won four Serie A titles in five years with a fantastic 1992 season when Milan hadn't lost any of the matches played in the league.

  In the 2000 season, Milan finished 3rd, after Lazio26 and Juventus. AC Milan Ukrainian27 striker28 Andriy Shevchenko finished as Serie A top scorer29 with 26 goals.

  In the summer of 2001 AC Milan made an outstanding transfers30 campaign, bringing Contra, Javi Moreno, Pirlo, Rui Costa, Pippo Inzaghi, Donati, Brocchi and Laursen to the San Siro.

  With a new coach and great players Milan is hoping for the glory31 days to return.

AC米兰:Dynasty of the Century

  1899年12月16日,在意大利米兰,一帮球迷聚集在杜诺德旅馆的一间房子里,正式成立了一个体育俱乐部:米兰足球和板球俱乐部。其实俱乐部在成立之前,就活跃很久了。

  这就是AC米兰辉煌历史的开始,它在足球历史上留下了值得纪念的篇章,成为世界上最强大、最受欢迎的俱乐部之一。

  AC米兰历史上的头20年相当不错,1901年战胜热那亚队获得冠军,热那亚队可是当时锦标赛中的领头羊之一。1906年和1907年又分别战胜尤文图斯队和都灵队,连续两次获得冠军。1908年发生了一件影响很坏的事情,俱乐部里一些心怀不满的人脱离出去,成立了一个名为国际米兰的俱乐部。AC米兰同国际米兰的第一场比赛是在1908年10月18日,AC米兰2比1胜。接下来,由于第一次世界大战,锦标赛被迫中止,这期间只打了一场联盟杯赛,AC米兰胜出。

  接下来,AC米兰的历史上出现了三个重要的人物,他们是瑞典人纲纳尔·格林、纲纳·纳达尔和尼尔斯·利德霍尔姆,他们一同组成了瑞典三驾车。那个时候,意大利俱乐部队最多允许签约5名外籍球员,纳达尔成了AC米兰有史以来最好的射手,一共在257场比赛中打进210个球,平均每场0.81个,另外两个司职中场。有了这三驾马车,AC米兰赢得了后来的四个意甲冠军杯。

  AC米兰一个最辉煌的时期是60年代初随着里维拉的加盟开始的。1963年的欧洲足球协会联盟冠军杯赛上,AC米兰遭遇葡萄牙里斯本本菲卡队,结果米兰以2比1夺冠,阿尔塔菲尼包揽两球。1968年,米兰队先后获得意甲冠军杯和优胜者杯冠军。次年,米兰队赢得第二个冠军杯赛冠军,以4比1的大比分击败了荷兰阿姆斯特丹阿贾克斯队。同年,里维拉获得了该年度欧洲足球先生称号。到70年代中期,AC米兰队成了意大利最成功的球队,一共赢得一个优胜者杯冠军,一次打入了优胜者杯决赛,三个意大利杯冠军。不幸的是里维拉的运动生涯结束,米兰开始进入历史上最黑暗的一段时期。

  这是最坏时期的最好成绩。1980年赛季后半段,有关赌球的丑闻被披露,米兰队的两名球员以及总裁都涉嫌其中。由于这件事,米兰队被降至乙级队,这段时间最大的收获是发现了弗朗科·巴雷西。当媒体大亨西尔维奥·贝卢斯科尼购买了米兰队后,米兰队的黑暗时期就结束了。

  新总裁引进了一些新人,有罗伯特·多纳多尼、保罗·马尔蒂尼和荷兰三剑客( 范·巴斯腾、里杰卡尔德和古力特),新教练是50年代赫赫有名的中场球员尼尔斯·利德霍尔姆,利德霍尔姆的教练生涯不是很顺利,结果被萨基取代。在萨基的带领下,米兰队赢得了1987年的意甲联赛冠军,一个新的时代开始了。

  但是,教练同荷兰超级球星巴斯滕的关系不好。1992年,米兰换了新教练卡佩罗,他带领米兰在5个赛季中获得了4个意甲联赛冠军,其中1992年的联赛上,米兰一场球也没有输过,真是不可思议。

  2000年赛季,米兰获得联赛第三名,冠军和亚军分别是拉齐奥和尤文图斯。AC米兰队的乌克兰人前锋舍甫琴科打入26粒进球而成为意甲联赛的头号射手。

  2001年夏,AC米兰进行了卓有成效的球员转会工作,引进了孔特拉、莫雷诺、皮尔洛、鲁伊·科斯塔、皮波·因扎吉、多纳第、布罗奇和劳尔森等一批球星。

  有了新教练和一大批一流的球员,AC米兰期待着重塑辉煌。
