Chapter 312: Champion as a Gift
The Inter Milan team arrives at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.
At the airport, Inter Milan was surrounded by a group of media reporters, and Leon was given 'intensive care'.
About the Champions League final between Inter Milan and Manchester United.
On Leon's departure from Inter Milan.
About Leon's future.
These are undoubtedly the focus of media attention.
Li Ang had a serious face throughout the whole process and did not accept any media interviews, and the entire Inter Milan team, under the protection of airport security personnel, boarded the bus and headed towards the hotel where they were staying.
Arriving at the hotel, the team was baptized by the usual media flash.
Leon also did not speak to the media, but he asked the players to sign autographs for the Inter Milan fans who had been waiting here for a long time in front of the hotel.
Inter Milan and Manchester United meet in the Champions League final, and fans from both teams have arrived in Moscow since Monday. For security reasons, fans from both teams arrived at different airports. The first Manchester United fan charter flight also arrived at Moscow's Domoddovo Airport earlier on Monday, and almost the same afternoon, the Inter Milan fan charter flight also arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.
According to media forecasts, close to 30,000 British fans will come to Russia to watch the Champions League final, while on the Italian side, more than 20,000 Inter Milan fans will come to Moscow.
A total of about 20,000 fans from both sides will choose to fly to Moscow.
British fans are notorious, and the Russian police are on the verge of being a big enemy, and the British police have assured Moscow that they will strictly check the identities of fans at British airports to prevent football hooligans from boarding flights to Moscow.
In Italy, the Italian police also said that they would intensify their investigation and restrict fans with violent tendencies and violent convictions from going to Moscow.
Moscow Police Chief Koznov said in an interview that Moscow has deployed more than 7,000 police officers to patrol the main streets, with the help of British and Italian plainclothes police to spy on fans. The British Embassy in Russia and the Italian Embassy in Russia have jointly issued a warning to fans in both countries, reminding them that smoking and drinking alcohol are illegal and may even lead to arrest.
According to the Associated Press, some senior police officers from Manchester and Milan will also fly to Moscow. The role of the Manchester and Milan police is mainly to assist the Russian police, doing everything possible to avoid clashes between fans on both sides.
Inter Milan coach Li Ang and team captain Zanetti also called on fans to pay attention to safety, stay sanity, avoid conflicts while enjoying the game, and focus on watching the game safely.
***********
After a brief exchange with the fans, the team checked into the hotel.
Later, Leon called the whole team to a meeting in the hotel's large conference room, and he had something to say.
In the face of the restlessness within the team, he couldn't sit still.
He had something to say.
Even if Leon is leaving, it will be after playing these two finals, and before that, he was the manager of Inter Milan, and he was still the king here!!
"I'm sorry for the big commotion before such an important final, I know that people are a little inattentive and thinking about things in a mess. I can understand that, but as the manager of the team, what I have to say is, don't get distracted, don't get cranky, and focus on what needs to be done!!"
"I have the last two games left in my time at Inter Milan!! these last two games, the two finals!! I don't want to leave regrets, because this is the last sprint of a season that we have worked hard together, one step forward, the crown!!"
"These two finals, of course, now we're only talking about the Champions League final against Manchester United, I only have one goal – to win the title. Leon cocked up a finger. "We've worked together and worked hard these days, and I'm honored to be able to work with such wonderful guys, yes, in my eyes, my players are the best, I'm very picky, and I only choose the best!" Leon said.
There was a laugh from the scene, it was Balotelli, but the kid quickly noticed that no one else around him was laughing, they were all quiet, David Silva next to him was even about to cry, Balotelli was stunned at first, and then silent, although the kid's brain is not normal, but it is not heartless.
"The last game, the last arena, the final stage, the most glorious stage, maybe there is no better farewell stage than this!!" Leon said seriously, he paused, took a deep breath, and the others who were sitting in front of him saw that the eyes of the head were a little red.
"I hope you will work hard with me to win the championship! Because this is the best compliment, the best coach, the best player, the best commemorative !! for us" Leon squeezed out a smile, and when he said these humorous words in the past, there would be a knowing laugh on the spot, but this time, there was no ......
"Cheer me up, I'm still the head coach of Inter Milan, and I'm still your boss, ...... In the future, I don't care what you want in front of your coach, but for now, you still have to listen to me. Li Ang continued to say humorous words, wanting to ease the atmosphere, "Don't think that if I want to leave, I will relax my requirements for you, I can count on the two champions behind me to leave honorably, who is bad for me, who is in a hurry with me!"
Still no one laughed.
Li Ang took a deep breath and looked around at his players, "Don't joke too much, the championship belongs to you, it is the best praise for you, if you don't win the championship, I will be sad, because, in my heart, you are the best!"
"Woo......" Someone cried, it was Adriano, the Brazilian star is actually an extremely sensitive person.
It's not just Adriano, many players have red eyes.
"I'm ......," Leon began, but his voice choked.
He had something to say but he got stuck, this is the team he built, this is his champion, he worked with these players, swept the whole of Europe with wins and trophies, he has a good relationship with these players, too much more than the relationship between ordinary coaches and players.
"I ...... I love you. Leon said, "You are the champion!!
With that, Leon pushed open the door of the conference room and turned to leave......
Behind him, there are players with mixed emotions and cathartic feelings, as a professional player, parting has long been a commonplace thing, but at this moment, a feeling of reluctance is pervasive, and parting emotions are diffuse.
Banderas and Mihajlovic and Stramaccioni and other members of the coaching staff watched this scene, they were all moved, as a manager, they can do this, if they coach a team in the future, they can also have such a movement when they leave, they can have no regrets.
"Champion!" Zanetti, the captain of the team, stood up, and the suave captain was emotional, throwing punches and shouting.
"Champion!" everyone stood up, fist at bay, and shouted.
At this moment, all the hesitation, all the nonsense, is gone, and there is only one thought in everyone's mind:
Champion!
With the championship and the trophy, farewell to their head coach Li Ang!!
