First forced to take over Shearer, then he had no choice but to face Sheva, and gave way to Vieri. The super substitute is too sad

At the request of my friends, let me talk about Thomason, a super substitute who has made great contributions to Milan but has been trapped in luck.

On August 29, 1976, Jong-Dal Thomasen was born in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The most well-known football team in the local area is Copenhagen, a regular European player. However, Thomason did not choose the Copenhagen youth training camp closest to his home, but went to the Kee youth training camp in another place.

is also beneficial to play in a weak team. Thomason was less than 16 years old and was promoted to the first team of Kee and quickly played as the main player. With the help of rookie Thomasen, Kee successfully advanced to the Danish second division. During the same period, Thomasson also became the main player of the Danish national youth team and played a very important role on the offensive end.

With his outstanding performance in the Denmark National Youth Team, Thomasen has attracted the attention of many overseas clubs. In the summer of 1994, when the US World Cup was in full swing, Thomasen signed a contract with Dutch Eredivisie team Helenfin and set foot on the Eredivisie arena.

For the next three seasons, Thomason leveled with Helenfin, and his progress was visible to the naked eye. After he survived the first season of the running-in period, he became the offensive core of Helenfin's team. In the 1995-96 season and 1996-97 season, we scored a total of 37 goals, and have always been the team's number one firepower point.

It must be noted here that although Thomason has strong firepower during his time with Helenfen, he was not a striker who sieges the city and took on many organizational tasks at this stage. The reason why he can score so many goals is simply that he has a good sense of smell in front of the goal, comparable to a first-class striker.

This kind of player who can not only organize attacks but also ensure personal output will naturally attract the attention of the five major league clubs. In the summer of 1997, then Newcastle coach Daglish spent £2.2 million in transfer fees, which brought Thomason to the Premier League. According to Daglish's idea, he intends to let Thomason continue to play the role of an attacking midfielder. As for Thomason ahead, there was powerful center Hiller standing.

With Hiller's cover, Thomason played very comfortably. In his first friendly match for Newcastle, he opened his goal account. If this trend continues to develop, then Thomason's future in Newcastle is definitely worth looking forward to.

It's a pity that Daglish's plan cannot keep up with the changes. Not long after Thomason joined Newcastle, Alan Hiller unfortunately injured his knee and needed to rest on the sickbed for nearly half a year. Daglish's clever wife was hard to cook without rice, so she could only put Thomasen on the front line and let him take over Shearer and serve as the team's center.

Thomason, who was forced to take over Hiller, was stunned in an instant. Because the center and offensive midfielder play are completely different. It will not be a day to adapt to a new position. What's more, the Premier League defender is tall and powerful, and his defense against the center is extremely strict, which will obviously increase the difficulty of Thomason's transformation.

As a result, Thomason played in a mess at Newcastle, not only was he disliked by Newcastle, but also made the Danish national team shake their heads, so he lost the Danish team's roster to compete in the 1998 France World Cup. Thomason learned from his mistakes and quickly said goodbye to Newcastle and returned to the Eredivisie. However, his boss this time was not Helenfin, but Feyenoord. During his days at Feyenoord, Thomason completed his transformation from an offensive midfield to a forward. He played here for 4 seasons and paid 55 goals and 17 assists. His forward combination with Van Hoytonk is not only very good in the Eredivisie, but also makes his opponents frightened in the European arena. For example, in the 2001-02 League Cup, Feyenoord won the final championship with his sharp offensive line.

In the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup, Thomasson was not only selected for the Danish team's roster, but also became the team's main striker. During the group stage, he scored tons of injuries, and 4 goals were scored in three games. Even the French team, which is the defending champion, was still broken by Thomason. After the World Cup, Thomasson's contract with Feyenoord happened to expire, and I don't know how many clubs extended an olive branch to him. Thomason's final choice is Milan.

For Milan, Thomason's joining is definitely a bonus. But from Thomason's perspective, it is like a person who knows how to drink water. Because at that time, Milan's forward line already had two famous forwards, Shepchenko and Inzaghi. Moreover, Milan coach Ancelotti would occasionally use a single striker formation, which increased the difficulty of competition. This means that if Thomason wants to be the absolute main force in Milan, he must face Sheva directly.

The Sheva at this time was really at its peak. There were only a few forwards who were qualified to be compared with Sheva during the same period, obviously not including Thomason. This Danish striker was full of helplessness in his heart while competing for the main force and could only accept the positioning of a super substitute.

Fortunately, Thomason has a very good mentality. Even though he spent most of his time as a substitute, he did not show any dissatisfaction. As long as Ancelotti sends him out, he will be thriving and strive to contribute to the team.

Thomason's good mentality and professionalism made Milan praise him. The famous Galliani once said in person that Thomasson is a non-sale product from Milan, which shows that it is obvious. With the help of Thomasson, Milan maintained strong competitiveness and won the Champions League and Serie A championship one after another.

However, although Thomason is good, a club at the level of Milan will not stop signing just because of him. In the 2004-05 season, Milan rented Ancelotti's direct descendant Crespo. Thomason's status in Milan will be more or less affected. Over the whole season, he only scored 6 league goals. Compared with the 12 league goals in the 2003-04 season, it was reduced by half.

Although Crespo's fate with Milan only lasted for one season, the Ross and Blacks introduced another veteran center Vieri in the summer window of 2005. Although Vieri was no longer as brave as his peak at this time, his status and great military achievements were there, so he would naturally be highly expected by Milan. The arrival of Vieri means that Thomason's situation in Milan is becoming more and more embarrassing. The super substitute simply gave way to Vieri, said goodbye to Milan, and went to Stuttgart to continue his football career. In the summer of the same year, his Danish compatriot Glenshare also joined Stuttgart.

Although these two people cooperated very well with the Denmark national team, their performance did not meet expectations in the Bundesliga. After just one season, Glenshare made the decision to leave the team. As for Thomasen, his life in his new club was not easy... In the days after

, Thomasen played for Villarreal, Feyenoord and other teams, and played until 2011 before ending his career as a player.
