Chapter 267: The Triple Crown
The night was falling, and before I knew it, it was almost midnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The city of Rotterdam is gradually starting to turn into the second half of the night, but the triangle of De Kuipp, which borders the south bank of the Nueva Maas, is gathering more and more people.
The city's light rail brought in groups of tourists, dressed in red and white arrow striped jerseys, who got off at the stadium station and crossed a separate pedestrian bridge to the front of the stadium.
There are no plazas and commercial facilities outside De Kuyp Stadium, and even the roads are not wide, so they can easily be filled with the crowd of fans, and they even gradually spread to the full parking lot on the east side.
It is believed that if it were not for a barbed wire fence and a dense row of green belts, it is estimated that they would not hesitate to rush into the training base of Feyenoord in the south.
It is the widest place in the surrounding area.
The crowd of Atletico Madrid fans, who had come for the UEFA Cup, gathered around the stadium and crowded every exit, shouting and celebrating wildly, and some even set off scarlet fireworks outside.
The police of the city of Rotterdam are also like a big enemy, maintaining order at the scene and keeping an eye on the situation in the stadium at all times.
The order has been given by the superiors, the result of the game was unexpected, Atletico Madrid is still 3-0 ahead, if there are no accidents, this will be the final score, and then the fans of the two teams are likely to clash, and the scene must be controlled.
Italian fans are notoriously troublemakers, and no one dares to be careless.
But now it seems that Atletico Madrid fans are not fuel-efficient lamps either.
…………

Thousands of Atletico Madrid fans gathered outside the stadium to celebrate, and inside the stadium, the Sheets Fan Zone had already begun to celebrate.
With only a few minutes remaining, Atletico Madrid were still in control of the game, with AC Milan failing to pose a threat to the Sheets throughout the game, and they didn't even put in a decent attack other than a shot from Inzaghi.
It would be a bit disappointing if this was the team that represented the highest level of Serie A in the Mini World Cup.
Of course, the fans of the Sheets Army are not belittling AC Milan, but feel that Atletico Madrid is too strong!
Carlo Ancelotti sat in the dugout with a blushing face, his eyes staring straight ahead.
Anyone can see that Fat An's eyes are breathing fire.
Zero-three, the whole field was suppressed, and Ancelotti had not encountered such a poor game for a long time.
Mauro Tasotti sighed softly and patted Ancelotti on the shoulder comfortingly.
"We can lose, but we must not be ashamed!" Ancelotti said word by word.
Tasotti understood what Ancelotti meant, "The main thing is that we started too badly, we couldn't dominate the rhythm of the whole game, we lost the ball, we lost the rhythm, we were like a fat sheep to be slaughtered. ”
The fact that they conceded three goals in the game, all in the opening game, completely disrupted AC Milan's plans.
What's more, the morale of the team was completely shattered.
Even Ancelotti tried to restore the team's morale at half-time, but in the end there was no way.
Throughout the game, AC Milan's performance was certainly abnormal, but Atletico Madrid did go above and beyond.
Almost from the very beginning of the game, the La Liga side had possession and tempo firmly in their own hands.
And he scored at the beginning, and then scored again and again, and played like a bamboo, so that AC Milan was completely unable to resist, and the players were directly stunned and lost their sharpness.
"I can't tolerate this terrible performance!" Ancelotti said through gritted teeth, "a lot of them only think about money and don't deserve to wear this shirt!"
When Tassotti heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
It seems that this good gentleman, who is always kind to people on weekdays and has no temper, is also really hot tonight!
It's no wonder that AC Milan are too poor this season.
It seems to be full of stars, but in fact it is not competitive.
Although they fought hard to finish fourth in the final round and qualify for next season's Champions League, AC Milan lost all of their key matches.
Not to mention the dissatisfaction of the fans and the management, even Ancelotti and the coaching staff themselves are not satisfied.
The team's two veterans, Costa Kuta and Maldini, are frequently injured, and the back line is full of problems, especially the central defenders, Laursen and his ilk are simply overwhelmed, Contra is completely unsuitable for the rhythm of Serie A, and Kaladze is also inconsistent and mixed.
How can such a backline be satisfying?
Originally, in this game, everyone thought that after the veteran Maldini returned, he should be able to strengthen his defense, but he didn't expect that in the end, it still didn't work, and almost all three goals were defensive problems.
Carlo Ancelotti is right, there are indeed people who don't deserve the AC Milan shirt.
'In addition to bringing in a strong centre-back, we also need a midfielder. ”
When Ancelotti said this, his eyes swept to the side of Atletico Madrid.
"What do you mean...... Pep Guardiola?" was Tsotti stunned.
To say that after Guardiola's transfer to Atletico Madrid, in the eyes of many fans, the performance was tepid, occasionally a little bright, but the overall situation was relatively stable, but as everyone knows, in his position, such a performance itself is worthy of recognition.
It's just that...... Has Carlo Ancelotti forgotten Redondo's lesson?
"Nope. Ancelotti shook his head, "I'm talking about ...... Xavi Alonso. ”
Tassotti followed Carlo Ancelotti's gaze and saw Xavi Alonso on the Atletico Madrid bench.
The Basque did not start in this game, but his performance at Atletico Madrid this season was quite impressive, not losing to his predecessor Pep Guardiola, and he has become a rising star in the Spanish midfield.
Replacing Albertini, who is certain to leave the team, with Xavi Alonso in place, would be a pretty good choice.
"And that Kaka......" Ancelotti sighed wistfully.
He found that the team that Gao Han had assembled was almost full of treasures, especially Kaka, which was too eye-catching.
I really don't know where that Chinese came from and from what channel he dug up so many treasures.
But from the current point of view, it may be difficult for AC Milan to have a place for Kaka.
Rui Costa has spent a lot of money on the team, and Carlo Ancelotti can't afford to leave it alone.
What's more, with Kaka's current performance, can't tens of millions of euros be mined?

"Win!"
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Gao Han opened his arms and laughed loudly.
The entire De Kuyp Stadium was overwhelmed by the shouts of the Sheets fans in the stands.
3-0, the game was finally fixed on this scoreline.
The three goals in the opening game made the game lose suspense early, and also made Atletico Madrid fans start to prepare for celebration early.
When the whistle blew, countless fans in the stands set off red fireworks.
Countless fans are singing the team song of Atletico Madrid in unison, cheering for Atletico Madrid coach Gao Han and the names of every player.
Substitutes and staff rushed onto the pitch in spite of all odds, hugging the players on the pitch and celebrating the team's victory.
This is the first UEFA Cup in the club's history!
This is also the most important championship trophy in the 99-year history of Atletico Madrid!
This season will also be the greatest and most successful in the history of Atletico Madrid!
Each and every one of them will go down in history because of this!
The old captain Aguilera fell crying on the pitch the moment the whistle blew.
He was replaced by Gao Han at the last moment of the game, when the team was sure to win, and played for ten minutes.
Although he has rarely played in the team this season, he has struggled to compete with the young Dario Srna and the substitute Roberto in the right wing-back position he has excelled into.
But Gao Han and the team still decided to renew his contract, hoping that he can continue to play in the locker room.
He had regretted missing out on Atletico Madrid's glorious Double-winning season, and even when the team was relegated, he doubted that he might not have such a chance again.
But the arrival of Gao Han completely changed all that.
Trebles, Grand Slams, alpine brought miracles to Atletico Madrid!
"Are you alright?"
Kiko walked over to Aguilera's side, crouched down, and asked with concern.
The two are both veterans of the team, but Kiko, who is two years younger than him, is obviously in a better position.
This is not due to the eccentricity of head coach Gao Han, but the different positions and characteristics of the two, coupled with the team's style of play.
Aguilera looked deeply at Kiko and shook her head.
"That Zambrano doesn't seem to be updating his column much lately. Kiko said suddenly.
Aguilera was a little surprised, what was that guy doing at this time?
Kiko smiled, "Didn't he say that with this group of young players, we can't win anything, and even relegation in La Liga is a problem?"
When Aguilera heard this, she immediately laughed too.
Yes, who would have thought that Gao Han would be able to lead this team to this point?
But now, Atletico Madrid is full of talent, sitting on La Liga goalscorer Villa, Brazil's popular international Kaka, and Atletico Madrid's new golden boy Torres, and even players such as Deco, Marcos Senna, Xavi Alonso, Marchena, Srna, Carvalho and Jankulovski are on fire.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech is not only the youngest goalkeeper in La Liga, but also the goalkeeper who has conceded the fewest goals and is likely to become the youngest goalkeeper of the season in La Liga history.
Even substitutes such as Seydoux Keita, Pablo Ibañez, and Baptista have followed suit.
Atletico Madrid hasn't seen such a talent in years.
Last time, it was the season of relegation.
But at that time, all the players were brought in by the team with a lot of money, even the head coach Ranieri was poached from Valencia, but now, including the head coach Gao Han, everyone in this team is making a name for themselves step by step in Atletico Madrid.
This team is clearly more cohesive and combative than it was back then.
"Look. Kiko suddenly smiled and pointed ahead.
Aguilera followed his gesture and found that on the sidelines, Torres and other players rushed over at some point, picked up the head coach Gao Han, and kept throwing him into the air, which made Aguilera can't help but laugh.
"He's such an incredible coach," Kiko said in amazement.
Aguilera nodded too, who says it isn't?
"Let's go, let's go too. Aguilera got up from the ground.
The podium has been set up and UEFA President Johansson is about to start awarding the prize.
After claiming the UEFA Cup trophy, the team will return to Madrid overnight.
There's going to be a crazy, all-night-long celebration of the championship.
Atletico Madrid can finally vent the frustration and unwillingness accumulated over the past few years! )
