Chapter 466: Bailey's Crow's Beak

After winning the FA Cup, Arsenal was naturally touted by the English media for a miserable blow, and along the way, there was a great posture of crushing the sky.

However, Arsenal can afford to be touted as Arsenal dominate England to an incredible level.

For most of the history of the Premier League, the two powerhouses have competed each other, but now, there are four top teams on the continent competing for the title, and the intensity can be imagined.

Manchester United and Liverpool are the two traditional giants of the Premier League, Chelsea have also become the most reluctant opponents of European teams after winning back-to-back Premier League titles, and with a picturesque Arsenal, the title race alone is enough to paint a gorgeous picture.

But even with so many big players competing for the title, Arsenal was still able to win the title early and win the FA Cup, which is enough to prove that Arsenal is unbeatable.

Not to mention that Arsenal have already reached the top of the Champions League podium and reached the final of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.

Arsenal fans are undoubtedly the happiest, having lifted four trophies so far this season, and are close to matching the total number of titles won by Arsene Wenger in his previous managerial career.

However, the fans are still secretly patient, and they will never let out all their excitement at this time, because the Champions League final is a week away, and when Arsenal lift the Big Ears Cup again, it will be time for them to really release themselves.

Arsenal didn't actually have any celebrations after the title, after all, the FA Cup is far from the Premier League and the Champions League, and if it is not optional, it will not make everyone ecstatic.

Immediately after a day's break, the team assembles for the final intense preparations.

The final battle, the battle that determines life and death, the battle that determines the success or failure of a season!

There is no room for error!

Quaresma knows that Milan are not an easy opponent to deal with, even though Arsenal won both legs last season, but in reality, Arsenal's midfield was suppressed by Milan, relying on sharp counter-attacks to eliminate the Italian giants.

However, this season, Arsenal's midfield has made a qualitative leap because of the arrival of Ballack, and Milan is a hard regret, and I am afraid that it will not fall into the disadvantage, which is undoubtedly the happiest thing for Quaresma.

"Ambrosini said he wanted to prop up the Milan midfield with Gattuso!" Quaresma winked at Barak and said, "He clearly didn't take you seriously!" ”

Public opinion spreads at the speed of light, and the content of Ambrosini's interview yesterday has reached England today.

In the midfield confrontation between Arsenal and Milan, Pirlo against Cesc Fabregas and Gattuso against Gilberto Silva, so it is clear that the remaining Ambrosini is against Ballack.

Barak snorted, a little upset that Quaresma had compared him to Ambrosini and made fun of himself.

Ambrosini is a sapper, and he is not a top sapper, he is the world's top all-round midfielder, and he is not a level at all!

"You still have to think about how you can beat Kaka directly in the game, in everyone's opinion, the Brazilian is your biggest opponent!" Barak angrily reminded Quaresma.

Quaresma shrugged absently, and he knew that from the beginning.

Although the pre-game public opinion atmosphere has not yet reached a climax, the warm-up has already begun, and the media will make an all-round comparison between the two teams, and the direct collision of the leading teams of the two teams is undoubtedly the most attractive topic.

Arsenal's Quaresma, Milan's Kaka, this is definitely the top star in world football today, and the direct confrontation between the two may even affect today's selection of the double Footballer of the Year.

Although Quaresma won the Premier League title and the Premier League Golden Boot, and the Champions League has already locked the Golden Boot, he is the biggest favorite for Mr. Two, but Kaka's performance is also amazing, if Milan really beat Arsenal to win the title, and Kaka is more eye-catching than Quaresma in the direct confrontation, maybe Kaka can really beat Quaresma to take away the title of Double Footballer.

Now there are many people who are expecting the perfect Kaka to overwhelm Quaresma!

Kaka's style of play is elegant, his personality is sunny, his appearance is even more handsome, and he has almost everything that can become a star, in contrast, Quaresma is not not handsome, but he always gives people a bad and funny feeling, which are completely two different types.

Football is always ruled by one person, and it's not interesting, is it?

"You don't have to worry about that, if you have time, I suggest you do more prayers and baptisms, don't let your bad luck aura affect the team, do you think I have a point?"

With an extremely scowling expression, he said to Barak, and when he finished speaking, Quaresma laughed and turned away, leaving Barak in his anger and about to explode.

Ballack's law is a very famous meme in world football, even if Ballack has not won the runner-up for three seasons, it seems that the halo has lost its effect, but it is still very interesting to take it out and make fun of Ballack.

If Arsenal really loses to Milan in the final this time, then it is estimated that fans will not think that it is Wenger's problem, nor will they think that it is Quaresma's problem, let alone the problem of other people in the team, all the pots, I am afraid Ballack will have to carry it!

It's all Barak's Law!

......

With three days to go before the final, Arsenal and Milan arrived in Athens on the same day to get used to the local temperature and conditions as soon as possible.

With the arrival of the two teams, the atmosphere of the game has really entered the hottest state, and the public opinion drama is full of gunsmoke, and before the battlefield, it has already smelled a strong smell of gunpowder.

In fact, both teams want to keep a low profile, prepare quietly, and go all out in the game, but the problem is that this world-renowned final does not allow them to keep a low profile at all.

It's just that what Quaresma didn't expect was that the first person to stand up and speak was the Pele who was ridiculed as a "crow's mouth".

'It's going to be a completely different game from AC Milan against Manchester United, because Arsenal are looking for a beautiful style of play and an open attack, but they are not stubborn.

"AC Milan have Kaka and partner Seedorf, but Arsenal have the most incredible Quaresma, and obviously no player can shake Quaresma's dominance of world football at the moment!"

"So, I think Arsenal will win the title!"

......

As soon as the words of the football king came out, England suddenly wailed!

The terrifying power of the football king's prediction is by no means a joke, but a great reputation with one tragedy after another.

Perhaps many people have long forgotten how brilliant Pele was on the court when he was young, but they will not forget his poisonous crow's mouth.

Not to mention the other teams that have been pitted by Pele, that is, AC Milan, they all have a tragic history of being destroyed by Pele.

Two seasons ago in Istanbul, Pele predicted that AC Milan would win the title against Liverpool, and as a result, needless to say, Milan could be overturned with a three-goal lead, which shows how terrible Pele's crow's beak is.

"Please be merciful to your old man, change your words, we Arsenal still want to win the championship!"

"Long live Pele, with this word to you, Milan's championship will be secure!"

"Whoever told me was your address, I'm going to kill him!"

"A word is life and death, Pele announced that Milan won the championship by predicting Arsenal to win the championship!"

......

The media followed the coaxing, and for a while, Milan's call for winning the championship was high.

Interestingly, even bookmakers, who have always believed in scientific judgment and big data analysis, were afraid of Pele's predictions and raised the odds for Arsenal to win the title, making all fans who followed this game a little unbearable.

As an unrelated person, he can affect a game to such an extent, and there is no one else except Old Man Pele.

Quaresma was a little crying and laughing, he was not afraid of Pele's crow's mouth, after all, everything on the football field still has to speak with strength, not the so-called metaphysics.

It's just that he thinks that as a traverser, it's more appropriate to be a god stick, right?

The profession of the god stick, in fact, is well operated, and the whole world will worship you if you don't get it!

If nothing else, he casually predicted that Ben ** had been hiding in his own home, and when this terrorist leader was caught, everyone had to bow to themselves.

Oh yes, it looks like that guy is still an Arsenal fan.......

But for the sake of your own life, it's better not to do things that have nothing to do with your identity, isn't it good to play football quietly?

At the end of each training session, the club will arrange a special time for interviews, and when asked by reporters for his thoughts on Pele's prediction for the title of the match, Quaresma could only answer questions with a smile and tears.

"First of all, thank you for the compliment!"

"I don't think there's any magic in Mr. Bailey's predictions, he's just expressing his opinion, that's all!"

"If there is really the so-called Bailey curse, then, I will use this game to break the curse and return Mr. Bailey's innocence!"

"Trust me, I'll be able to do it!"

"The title is Arsenal's, there's no doubt about that!"

......

Quaresma's words immediately spread through the media, and the melon-eating crowd sat on small benches and waited for Milan to respond.

Sure enough, Milan responded immediately.

"We've experienced Mr. Bailey's awesomeness firsthand, and we don't want to talk about what happened that night!"

"Since Mr Bailey thinks Arsenal will win the title, there is no doubt that Arsenal have no chance!"

"The winner will definitely be AC Milan!"

"It's not just a matter of strength, it's Mr. Bailey's protection, isn't it?"

"Now that I think about it, if Mr. Bailey still predicted that we would win, we must have nothing to love now!"

......

Ancelotti's teasing remarks reached Pele's ears, and Pele took out a small notebook from the safe, wrote down the names of Ancelotti and AC Milan, and vowed that next time, he would be "more optimistic" of AC Milan.

And just two days before the start of the final, UEFA officially announced the data of this season's Champions League, which directly detonated public opinion!

There is no suspense in the scorer list, Quaresma, who has scored 18 goals, is far ahead of Kaka, who has scored 10 goals, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has scored 6 goals, is simply not on the same level;

In the assists list, Quaresma and Ryan Giggs are tied for first place, with seven assists each contributing to their team-mates, and in third place is Cristiano Ronaldo with five assists, while Kaka is nowhere on the list;

In terms of the number of shots on goal, Quaresma also leads with 35 shots, Kaka has 28 attempts on goal, Ronaldo has 22, and then referring to their goal tally, you can get a huge gap in the data of goal efficiency;

On the offside list, there is nothing to do with Quaresma, after all, he usually does not appear in the front in the positional attack, and even if he rushes to the front, he is inserted in the back row;

On the yellow card list, Quaresma did not enter the top 10, and received two yellow cards in the Champions League this season, and there was nothing to show off in the crowd of thugs;

However, on the foul list, Quaresma is on the list, he ranks third with 26 fouls, and the first place is Liverpool's Alonso;

Of course, the most exaggerated and shocking thing is actually the violated list.

Quaresma topped the list with 88 assaults and left the rest far behind, with 88 more than the second- to fourth-place combined.

These data, in fact, have clearly put Quaresma's dominance in front of everyone, and even make people feel that UEFA is sitting crookedly in favor of Quaresma and Arsenal.

There were still many people who felt that Kaka actually did not have any gap with Quaresma, and the performance of the two on the field was half-hearted, Quaresma scored more goals, and Kaka was more active, and there was no difference.

Looking at the data released now, Milan fans are already speechless.

Kaka is not as good as Quaresma in goals, not as good as Quaresma in assists, not as many shots as Quaresma, not as many fouls as Quaresma, and not as many as Quaresma......

It's just an all-round crush!

The higher the stats, the more investment there is in the game, and there is no doubt that Quaresma is far behind Kaka at this point.

Of course, UEFA actually has more data that has not been released, and if it does, then Milan fans must be even more embarrassed.

If nothing else, Quaresma must have run more than 10,000 miles per game, which is already a good statistic for an offensive player, at least not Kaka.

However, Quaresma also has embarrassing statistics, just "passing" is enough for him to have a headache, and after a game, he has been passed more times than the other players in the team combined......

......

Quaresma is actually not disgusted by the outside world comparing himself to Kaka, but he knows that his opponent in this game, or Arsenal's opponent, is not Kaka, but the unpredictable man.

Inzaghi, a man who turned the offside line into a residential building.

In his previous life, Quaresma was very impressed by the Champions League final, and although Milan made Kaka the double footballer of the year, it was Inzaghi who actually stood out more in the game.

It was his brace that helped AC Milan win and lift the Big Ears Cup, and without his brace, I'm afraid Liverpool would have had the last laugh.

Although his little butterfly will affect some things, the wheel of history is rolling forward, and many things may be inevitable.

Liverpool were replaced by Arsenal, but who knows if Inzaghi will repeat history and score a brace?

Hardly!

Arsenal's defensive system is not as good as Italy's chain defense, maybe Campbell and Kolo Toure are not a problem to defend strong centers, but in the face of Inzaghi, a killer striker who is usually invisible and suddenly stabs you, it is a little powerless.

It can even be said that Inzaghi is precisely the weapon that restrained Arsenal.

Don't look at Arsenal's elimination of Milan last season, when Inzaghi didn't play at all when he had a cold.

So, Quaresma felt Arsenal needed to be cautious, and that's what he reminded his team-mates.

"Don't worry, is Inzaghi stronger than Shevchenko? Last season Shevchenko was guarded against by us! Campbell didn't heed Quaresma's reminder.

It seems to be a little inflated!

Strong dominance brings with it a strong self-confidence, but when self-confidence turns to conceit, I'm afraid things will be in trouble.

Quaresma is not the manager, and he has no way to wake up the players, which is what he is very distressed about.

What if Inzaghi did poke a few holes in Arsenal?

Campbell: They woke up at that time, it was a little late!

Then, you can only carry the team forward by yourself!

No problem, as long as you score more goals than Milan!

Isn't it?
