Chapter 441: Take your fate into your own hands
"AC Milan 3-0 Juventus, the old woman is unstoppable to the glory of the Knights"
After the 32nd round of Serie A, the headline of this issue of "Sports Weekly" is "Unstoppable".
For a while, whether it was a white-collar worker who worked diligently or a hawker who came to the morning market to set up a stall in a cart, he knew one thing - Juventus is no longer good, Milan is going to win the championship!
Of course, whether Milan wins the championship depends on whether Lazio can drop the chain.
At home 2-0 Bologna, the Blue Eagles seem to have a tendency to "pick up".
But for Lazio, who have two tough games remaining, the real test has just begun.
After crossing the Juventus mountain, Milanello's fans surged.
They are all Milan fans who come to protect the players on their own initiative.
These days, many Inter and Lazio fans come to the sports center to make trouble, they don't threaten the players, they destroy public property, or deflate tires or something.
These Milan fans came here spontaneously to act as defenders. Help the players take care of their personal belongings while they train.
What's more important is to see this "champion division" up close!
Ou Chuliang is still meticulous on the pitch to do saving exercises, although he often runs out to clear the siege and take free kicks in the game, but his job has never been forgotten.
"Wait, wait a minute, Ou will shoot."
"This turnaround obstacle save is the third set, and it's over with two more sets."
"When Ou practices shooting, you know how handsome he is!"
Fans were chatting outside the fence as the number 20 jersey began to be in short supply at Milan's peripheral sporting goods stores.
Many fans waited for Milan to finish training and then waited for the stars to come out and sign autographs with markers and jerseys. One of the craziest Ou Chuliang fans also specially bought Ou Chuliang's national team jersey from China, and it is said that he wants to collect all the styles of Ou Chuliang jerseys + autographs.
Ou Chuliang also did not refuse to come, but whenever the fans who stood in front of him to ask him for an autograph, he would stop with a smile, patiently take the pen, and sign the opponent's signature pad or jersey or football.
is so amiable Ou Chuliang, and he has gained the popularity of a large number of female fans.
Returning home after a training session, a frenzied female fan rushes up after Ou Chuliang has parked her car, asking for an autograph.
When Ou Chuliang took the pen, he was embarrassed to find that the other party actually pulled his sleeve and let him sign on his collarbone.
Looking at the other party's half-exposed breasts, Ou Chuliang was a little embarrassed.
At this time, it was difficult to refuse, and in desperation, Ou Chuliang wrote a "OU" casually, which was considered a success.
Foreign fans are crazy because of openness, and domestic fans are very restrained. Even if they were equally excited, they were just drinking a little wine and throwing a few dishes at home.
On this day, Lao Chen put down the latest issue of "Sports Weekly" with relish. I want to take a Hongta Mountain in my mouth and reminisce about the report in the article.
But when I opened the cigarette case, I found it empty.
"Son, go buy me a pack of cigarettes." Lao Chen ordered.
"Come back with a bottle of soy sauce by the way, remember, you have to soy sauce!" Mother Chen said, handing the empty glass bottle in the kitchen to Xiao Chen.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Xiao Chen, who had also read the sports weekly report, stood at the door, then tucked his two feet into a pair of red Jiefang brand sneakers, carefully tightening each lace until the tongue of the shoe was firmly attached to the instep.
At this time, both hands grabbed the two ends of the shoelace again, pulled hard, tied a live buckle, and raced the shoelace into the shoe decently.
grabbed a 20 yuan bill, carried a soy sauce bottle and ran out of the door.
"Why are your shoelaces so tight? I warn you, don't run around! Hurry back after beating the soy sauce... If I come back a minute late, hum... Just wait! ”
Before Chen's mother finished speaking, there was a heavy sound of closing the door at the door. And then there's "Wow, blah, please... Bang, bang, bang... Bang" sound of going downstairs.
"Lao Chen, you too, you don't talk about your son, he is so naughty at a young age, and he can't go downstairs well, why do you break your leg?"
"It's okay, it's okay! Children are young and lively, and it is normal to be naughty! Practice your legs and feet now and you will be able to pass on the football field faster in the future!"
"Hmph, I didn't agree with my son playing football! Don't talk nonsense! “
"What's so bad about playing football? Win glory for the country, glorify the ancestors... Look at Ou Chuliang, everyone has played abroad, and now they are about to win the championship in Italy! At that time, the whole world will know that it was Acchulian who helped AC Milan win the championship..."
"Look at my Marseille sleums! Ahh
"Watch my Barty shoot! Aha! ”
"Look at my pendulum! Ada~~"
"Big brother! Be careful! "A large group of children were playing a low-quality football for 10 yuan per piece in the open space, and the final shot flew past the two schoolbags placed on the ground and came straight to Xiao Chen.
At this time, Xiao Chen was holding a soy sauce bottle in one hand, and there were words in his mouth. What's even stranger is that every two steps are suddenly taken a few steps horizontally, and then back to the original position, and so on.
Hearing the shouts of the others, Xiao Chen looked up and saw a black and white ball flying towards him.
Xiao Chen was also ruthless, and immediately jumped out sideways without saying a word, and even shouted: "European-style save!" Ah~~~"
This incoming ball, which was not fast and not very powerful, was tightly held in Xiao Chen's arms, like Ou Chuliang had just performed on TV.
But just when Xiao Chen wanted to stand up triumphantly holding the ball, the pain from his left shoulder made him gasp.
A hole had been worn out of the good half-sleeve, and the skin on the left shoulder was also scratched, and blood was oozing out.
"Hiss~~"
Men don't flick if they have tears!
Xiao Chen bared his teeth and grinned, barely holding back the pain.
"Wow! Big brother is so amazing! ”
"Big brother is really awesome!"
"Big brother will actually be saved by Ou Chuliang!"
"Big brother is fiercer than all of us!"
"Big brother, help kick the ball over!"
The younger children saw that Xiao Chen really pounced like a goalkeeper, and their eyes were full of little stars.
Xiao Chen pursed his lips, scraped the tip of his nose, took out the big bubble gum he bought with the money he bought from his pocket, put it in his mouth like Ou Chuliang, and chewed it.
Soon, the sweetness of the bubble gum made Xiao Chen forget the pain for a while, and he didn't even shoot the soil on his body, but flew away with the ball and kicked it out with the greatest strength.
The children looked up at the ball flying in the sky, chased two steps, and then subconsciously stopped. Then there was a "bang", and the ball smashed open the window on the third floor opposite, and there was a series of "sparse" sounds inside.
The children were stupid and froze in place.
The smart ones had already started to run, but the owner of the football had been stunned, stupidly staring at the smashed glass.
Xiao Chen had already run home to the corridor at this time, and he didn't delay for a second.
"Bang Bang" smashed open the door and entered the house in shock, gasping for air.
"Dad, this is the Hongta Mountain you want."
"Where's the soy sauce?" Chen's mother wore an apron and walked out of the kitchen.
Hearing the word "soy sauce", Xiao Chen was instantly petrified.
At this time, looking at the ash on Xiao Chen's body and the wound on his shoulder, Chen's mother and Lao Chen glanced at each other and said softly: "Take off your clothes first, and I'll find you some purple potion to wipe it on." ”
"Oh, oh..." Xiao Chen nodded hurriedly and took off the clothes on his body.
That night, the two neighbors next door heard the sound of a rhythmic "bamboo stew" on time.
......
On May 12, Parma won the UEFA Cup in the 98-99 season with a 3-0 victory over an underrepresented Marseille team at the Luzniki Stadium in Moscow.
Parma reached the final of the three major European Cups four times in the 90s, the team's first UEFA Cup title since 1995. Italian teams have dominated the UEFA Cup since the 90s and have won the league eight times in 11 seasons since 1989.
Last season, the two teams that reached the final were both from Italy, with Inter Milan winning the UEFA Cup for the third time in the mid-90s, and Juventus having won the UEFA Cup twice in that decade.
Double-titled, Parma is not empty-handed this season.
The middle of the year is just around the corner, and the European leagues are coming to an end.
The ownership of the Serie A championship is still confusing.
May 16, 1999 was a day that will finally be remembered by Milan fans.
In the 33rd round of Serie A, AC Milan defeated Empoli 4-0 at home.
There was basically no suspense in the game, but it was definitely a very meaningful game for Bierhoff.
He scored his first hat-trick since landing in Serie A. Leonardo then sealed the score with another goal.
After the game, the news from the other side of the arena made the entire San Siro boil.
In Fiorentina, Lazio the Blue Eagle stopped their victorious streak.
They're flat!
A healthy Barty scored a goal to secure a draw on the road.
1 point, a world of difference.
In an instant, the top position of Serie A changed in the penultimate round.
Lazio, who had just led by one point, are now one point behind AC Milan.
The Empoli players have long since left, but the Milan and Chinese fans remain in the stands at the San Siro, chanting in unison: "Surpasso, Surpasso, Surpasso!" ”
Surpasso, which translates to transcendence, means.
On this day, the entire sky over San Siro has been echoing with the same voice.
After the game, not only Italy, but the entire European football world was shocked.
What the?
AC Milan put the score in the lead?
How is this possible?
What's going on with Lazio?
Didn't you still have a 7-point lead before?
Why did you overtake it all of a sudden?
The next day's newspaper Sport reported that we had taken the initiative into our own hands before the final round. Just ask, is there anything happier in this world than taking control of your own destiny?
Lazio fans were in frustration, and in the second after the game, their stocks were all in the green and fell rapidly. By the time they wanted to sell, it was too late.
In this way, before the last game, the gate of the trading market was filled with fans who came to withdraw their shares every day. But before the door could open, Lazio's stock fell to a halt.
For a time, the entire Apennines fell into a panic created by fans, an unforeseen earthquake.
With the exception of the city of Milan, everything else is no longer a pure land.
"Sports Weekly" used the words "Lucky Star Gaozhao" as the headline, and introduced the feast in Milan in detail.
Empoli are only a relegated team and there is nowhere else to discuss the course of this game other than Bierhoff's hat-trick.
But it was a historic turning point for AC Milan.
Since the start of the season, Milan have never been in the top spot in the standings.
Before him, there were strong teams such as Fiorentina, Lazio, Parma, and Roma, but both Fiorentina, the half-way champion, and Laninglazio, the most promising champion, were left behind by Milan at this time.
This time, AC Milan fully explained what it means to have the last laugh and laugh the best.
Although there is still one round left in the league, there is still a "question mark" over the ownership of the championship. But anyone can see that Milan is on the move.
Milan, who won six consecutive victories, is almost a god in Serie A, and a Buddha is a Buddha. The final game was an away game, but no one except Lazio fans would believe that Perugia at the bottom of the table could cause Milan any problems.
Lazio's opponent in the final round is double champion Parma, although Parma, who have just won the Europa League, may "release" the Blue Eagles, but what is the use?
Lazio wants to win the championship and has already begun to look at Milan's face, even if Parma directly abandons the game, Lazio has no way to take Milan.
In the face of the overwhelming "Milan won the championship", Perugia boss Gauci stood up and warned: "In the final game of Serie A this Sunday, AC Milan will face a battle of life and death, they don't want to get anything cheap from Perugia, let alone think that Perugia will 'let them go' like Juventus." ”
For Perugia, the final game must be at least a draw to ensure relegation. Not to mention the defeat to Udinese away last week, Perugia's morale is high. The final game has the advantage of being at home, and AC Milan wants to pass easily, which is simply delusional!
Gauci continued: "If Zaccheroni and his players think that beating Perugia is like going to the park, they are very wrong, and if they really think so, they are deluding themselves. ”
In reality, Gauci is an old friend of Lazio boss Cragoori, and in the final moments of the league, of course, he also wants to be a good friend. On the one hand, to ensure that Perugia stays in the first division, on the other hand, to help Lazio.
The AC Milan players were not afraid to slack off on the game, defender Costacuta said: "Perugia is a good team and I'm happy to hear someone say that we have won the title, but at the same time I'm a little worried. ”
"We will not take such a significant finale lightly!"
Ou Chuliang also said in front of the media: "Even if you are playing away, you will never let the opponent score easily in the last game!" ”
Hidetoshi Nakata, a hot star in the Perugia team, also said: "Our goal in the final game is relegation, we can't take a draw as a relegation goal, we still have to win!" ”
"Even if the opponent is AC Milan, even if the opponent is China and Europe. In the last fight, I will never let my opponent have a good time! ”
The "grievances and hatreds" between Hidetoshi Nakata and Ou Chuliang in Asia have also been pulled out by the Italian media, whether it is the 96 Olympics or the 98 World Cup, the Japanese team has been planted under the hands of the Chinese team.
Coupled with the fact that Hidetoshi Nakata and Ou Chuliang are about the same age, and they are still the opponents of the new Asian Footballer of the Year, the good Italian media once again hyped up an "Asian Derby".
Asia's Strongest Spear VS Asia's Strongest Shield, who will win in the end?
Just looking at this title, it has already attracted the attention of many people.
For the upcoming finale, Gauge is not just a mouthpiece.
When the enthusiastic Milan and Chinese fans wanted to see their favorite teams at the top of the stadium on the road, they found that the stadium was sold out when they bought the tickets.
The Perugia police and Perugia FC's management were well aware of the importance of the match for both teams, and they limited the number of tickets available to AC Milan fans to 2,600, which was enough to satisfy the appetite of the away fans, and the tickets were sold out as soon as they went on sale.
Although Chinese fans are not among the 2,600, there are only 1,000 places, and they are still mixed in with neutral tickets.
Tronbetta, the general manager of Perugia, said: "We are happy to take this measure, this season we treat all the visiting fans the same and we have been recognised by all walks of life. ”
"Actually, we do want to bring all the AC Milan fans into the stadium, but the stadium is too small, it's not the San Siro, the stands can only accommodate 26,500 people, and there's nothing we can do."
Tronbeta finished speaking, a smug smile appeared on her face. Once upon a time, the small size of their own stadium also became an advantage.
Although a "ticket ban" has been imposed on Milan fans and Chinese fans, Perugia officials have opened 1,000 seats for Japanese fans. In other words, if it is a personal fan of Hidetoshi Nakata, you can also buy a ticket to enter and sit next to the home team.
After the news broke, the price of "Japanese tickets" in China soared.
Many fans who can't buy tickets have begun to use all kinds of connections at hand, even if they spend a lot of money to buy a "Japanese ticket" and appear next to the home team fans in the home team's uniform. As long as they are allowed to come in and watch the game, they can accept whatever it takes.
It can be said that Perugia has almost gone to the extreme in order to help Lazio snipe AC Milan.
That night, Hidetoshi Nakata turned on the microphone and talked to the other side with great interest.
"Mother, please come to watch the game with your father, Yumi. The tickets have already been sent home, so I guess I have already received them, right? ”
"Yes, I've received all your tickets. You have to be good in Italy, winning the game is important, but the stadium is like a battlefield, you have to be more careful, don't get hurt! ”
"Hey!"
"By the way, your sister has something to say to you."
As soon as he heard Yumi Nakata, Hidetoshi Nakata's voice immediately softened.
"Hey, Yumi? Looking for Ernie sauce for something? When you come to Italy, Ernie will take you to eat delicious food and have fun..."
"No, no, Ernie sauce, I have something else to tell you." Yumi shook her head.
"What's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, Yumi's sweet voice came: "Ernie-chan, can you not score a goal?" I want to see Oussan win the championship! ”
