Chapter 333: A Chance for Revenge Has Come!

'As I said six months ago, it's hard to say anything in professional football. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

At the pre-match press conference at Old Trafford, AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti faced a full house of media reporters, talking eloquently and indescribably relaxed.

"I'm afraid no one would have thought that the two teams in the first group stage would meet again in the Champions League final, but this is professional football. ”

Ancelotti's remarks did resonate with the media reporters at the scene.

The first group stage opponents met in the following fixtures, which is not uncommon in the history of the Champions League, most recently Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in 2000, and Bosque also led Real Madrid to revenge.

But meeting in the final is extremely rare indeed.

'We've had three games in the last two years and, as you know, we've lost all three, including a UEFA Cup, but it's a game that we know each other very well. ”

The media reporters at the scene nodded in unison again.

'But I would say it's a Champions League final, anything can happen and when we got this ticket, I and my players knew very well that if we don't want to repeat last season's UEFA Cup miss, then we have to do whatever it takes to win. ”

"I believe that this is the biggest consensus of our whole team so far!"

There was a round of applause.

Journalists with a keen sense of smell could tell that Ancelotti was not a good person.

"Carol, what do you think of the opponent in this final, Atletico Madrid?" asked an Italian journalist.

Ancelotti smiled and nodded: "This is a phenomenal team, there is no doubt that they are very good, this is the reason why they have not failed in the last two years, they are not afraid of any team, they are full of aggression in all games, they are the strongest team." ”

But at this point, Ancelotti changed his words, "We all know that in professional football, no team can win all the time, every team will lose, it could be tomorrow. ”

'It's going to be a very meaningful game for us because we can use the same opponent to test our progress over the last few days and the results of the team's preparation over the last few days. ”

"AC Milan is a great club, the players are all great players who have been through a lot of games, every single one of us is focused on this game, we all know what this game is all about and we are all looking forward to this game. ”

"Me and my players are confident enough to do our best!"

Ancelotti's words were once again met with applause and applause.

Although AC Milan has lost to Atletico Madrid three times in the past two years, this does not mean that this final will still be lost, on the contrary, what he is best at Ancelotti is to counterattack.

In everyone's impression, his nickname is the second in 10,000 years, because his past record has always been the runner-up.

But few people know that he also has another nickname, the unbeatable Ancelotti.

Because his coaching is just as stoic and tenacious as when he played.

In his past coaching career, he has experienced heavy defeats again and again, even some humiliating ones, which may have collapsed when put on other managers, but Ancelotti has survived again and again, and has completed revenge.

This is quite valuable in professional football!

"Very well said, Carroll. ”

After the press conference, Carlo Ancelotti returned to the lounge area, where he was greeted by AC Milan general manager Galliani.

As the club's general manager, he was also invited to attend some UEFA events tonight.

"Thank you, Adriano. Ancelotti nodded and smiled.

Galliani looked around, saw that no one was approaching, and immediately pulled Ancelotti to the side of the corner, as if he were a thief.

"Carol, tell me frankly, how sure are you of this match?" asked Galliani with a solemn face.

Ancelotti replied without even thinking about it: "I will do my best to win." ”

The bald man almost didn't slap him, and he still pretended to be garlic in front of me?

"I know you've been practicing penalty tactics every day in training for the past few days. ”

Ancelotti nodded, "Yes, it's part of the regular preparations. ”

"Honestly, Carroll. "Galliani couldn't stand it anymore.

“ok。 Ancelotti decided to confess, "Atletico Madrid is very strong, you shouldn't deny that, right?"

Galliani nodded, and this is a fact recognized throughout Europe.

"If we play as a double striker, frankly, I'm not sure, but if we play as a single striker......" Ancelotti raised his eyebrows, but the meaning was already obvious.

Playing as a double striker, this is Berlusconi's hand-picked request, and Inzaghi and Shevchenko are the arrowheads he focuses on, and neither of them wants to give up.

But Ancelotti wants a single striker, a four-three-two-one formation.

"Sure?" asked Galliani, frowning.

Carlo Ancelotti smiled, "I promise they will make mistakes in regular time, and even if they don't, I can drag them into a penalty shootout." ”

Galliani immediately understood why AC Milan's training program had been a penalty shoot-out this past week.

"Well, I believe in you!"

After saying that, Galliani buttoned up his suit, looked at Ancelotti deeply, and turned to leave.

Behind him, Ancelotti's eyes flashed with a fierce look.

The chance for revenge has finally arrived!

'I'm happy that the team is in good shape at the moment and luckily we all have the games and that's vital for us and at least I didn't have to worry about the selection of the squad. ”

After Carlo Ancelotti's press conference, it was Gao Han's turn to hold a pre-match press conference to announce the 18-man squad.

In the face of reporters' inquiries, Gao Han first introduced the current situation of the team.

'Yes, as you all know, I've brought all the players who have played in the first team this season to Manchester, we are an inseparable unit, but unfortunately only eighteen people can be on the pitch. ”

"I already have an idea about the starting line-up and I'm not going to change ourselves because of the AC Milan line-up and the way we play, because I know that our strongest weapon comes from our confidence in ourselves. ”

"Without a doubt, it has been a fantastic journey for me to coach Atletico Madrid, where I have met the best players, the loveliest fans, the management who trust me the most, everything is perfect for me, and the only thing I want to do now is to lead the team to do the best I can. ”

'Unlike the UEFA Cup, the Champions League final is more intense, which is the pressure but also the motivation. ”

"As a professional footballer, we always go out on the pitch with pressure and responsibility, and the only thing we have to think about now is to do our best and win the opposition. ”

However, Gao Han also mentioned that it is not easy to beat the current AC Milan.

'We've played three games in the last two years and they're familiar with us, but we're a little bit new to them at the moment, so maybe it's going to give us some problems, but I'm sure we can overcome them well. ”

Gao Han's analysis has also been recognized by many media reporters.

Atletico Madrid's unstoppable record of winning in the past has also attracted the trust of many media reporters and fans, who unconditionally believe that Atletico Madrid will be able to win.

"Mr. Gao Han, according to the Italian media, AC Milan has repeatedly practiced penalty tactics every day for the past week, but as far as we know, Atletico Madrid does not seem to have this aspect of the arrangement. ”

After listening patiently to the reporter's question, Gao Han nodded and said: "Yes, we didn't think about dragging the game into a penalty shootout, we are determined and confident to end this game in regular time, so we don't need to practice penalty tactics." ”

Hundreds of media reporters at the scene have captured Gao Han's strong self-confidence.

In fact, everyone knows that when it comes to penalty shootouts, Atletico Madrid will have no advantage.

As Carlo Ancelotti said in the last press conference, AC Milan are seasoned stars, each of them is mature and stable, and the psychological quality is stronger, which is the disadvantage of Atletico Madrid.

When it comes to penalty shootouts, this disadvantage will be even more obvious.

"Mr. Gao Han, I'm a Chinese journalist, is there anything you would like to share with the fans in China about this Champions League final?" another reporter stood up.

Gao Han recognized him, a well-known reporter of an authoritative sports newspaper in China, and the two nodded and smiled tacitly.

"I'm not a professional, but like all professional players, the Champions League has always been my dream, and winning the title is something I never dreamed of before. ”

"I come from China, where the level of football is not high, and last year was the first time for our motherland to enter the World Cup finals, but the result disappointed many fans who loved him, coupled with various factors and problems, many fans chose to abandon it, and even hated because of love. ”

"I can fully understand the heartache of these fans, and I can also understand their hatred, but I don't agree with their approach, because I know that it will not help improve the level of Chinese football. ”

"I still remember vividly that in the season when Atletico Madrid was relegated, the fans were also very sad and disappointed, but they did not abandon the team and did not hate the team because of it, on the contrary, more fans bought season tickets for the team than before, and they chose to continue to support the team unconditionally, even if it was just in obscurity. ”

"Today, Atletico Madrid can go to this day and walk into the stadium of the Champions League final, which is the best affirmation of this group of fans, and I firmly believe that as long as there is a group of fans who continue to support Chinese football, even if they are very insignificant, just standing aside in obscurity, then I firmly believe that today's Atletico Madrid is tomorrow's Chinese football!"

"I don't know what the outcome of tomorrow night's game will be, but I can promise that we will give our all and fight until the last minute and second, and as long as the final whistle is not blown, we will not give up!"

As soon as Gao Han's voice fell, thunderous applause rang out at the press conference. (To be continued.) )
