By the time the plane landed at Milan International Airport, it was almost dawn, but when the players stepped out of the plane, they heard a sea of cheers. When they reached the exit, they found themselves surrounded by a frenzied crowd of fans, numbering in the thousands, each waving their scarves, flags, slogans, and singing "We are the champions" loudly.

When the players showed up, they stopped singing and started calling out the players' names, shouting in unison: "Ronaldo! "Zanetti!" "Adriano!" "Ricardo!" …… Every player's name was called out by them, and no one was left out. And when Ronaldo and Ricardo are called, the voices are the loudest.

And when captain Zanetti carefully lifted the Big Ears Cup to make it appear in front of Inter fans again after 40 years, the cheers reached its peak, and many elderly fans couldn't help but burst into tears.

Many of them, as teenagers and even children, have followed their parents to witness Inter Milan win the trophy twice in the season, ushering in a glorious era. They also saw Inter Milan reach the final in 1972, only to be defeated by Cruyff-owned Ajax.

At the same time, they witnessed that Inter Milan was once again at the top of Europe. A new Inter dynasty has quietly begun.

Most of them have already married and had children, and their children are almost old enough to pass on their love for the club, and the young people present will carry on the memories of this history and glory to the next generation......

Under the influence of the atmosphere of the scene, the players of Inter Milan have forgotten their fatigue and devoted themselves to interacting with the fans.

Under the arrangement of airport security, the Inter Milan players finally signed autographs and took photos for some of the fans, and they were not able to leave the airport until it was completely dawn.

Back at home, most people are undoubtedly asleep.

It's the same with Ricardo.

When he opened his eyes again, he intuitively felt that it was already afternoon.

Stella sat quietly at the head of the bed, her eyes meeting his face, but her eyes were a little wandering, obviously out of sight.

"You're awake," Stella finally came to her senses and said indifferently as Ricardo sat up, "Congratulations, now you're the European champion." ”

"Thanks," Ricardo laughed, "have you watched the game?" ”

"I went to sleep when I saw 3:1," Stella said, her left hand still dangling, "you got my text." ”

"Roger." Ricardo got out of bed, "Is there anything to eat in the fridge?" ”

"There was juice, there was whole wheat bread, Lias had it for you. She wants me to tell you that she is very grateful to you and to all the members of the Nerazzurri Milan who thank you. ”

"No, it's up to me to thank them. Thank you for their continued support," Licardo found his tracksuit and put it on neatly, "I'll grab a bite to eat and go to training for a while." There is a parade to celebrate the championship in the evening, I am not at home for dinner, you are careful at home, Milan may be a little chaotic these days, you don't go out, don't open the door to others. ”

"You know, I'm not a child anymore," Stella pursed, "won't you take me to the celebration feast?" ”

"The celebration is not held until after the Coppa Italia final, and today is just a normal dinner," Ricardo explained. ”

"I'll be watching you on TV."

Although Inter Milan has celebrated the league championship in previous seasons, the standard of celebrating the Champions League is undoubtedly a little higher.

Although many people say that during the period from the late 80s to 2006, it was even more difficult to win the championship in Serie A, known as the "Little World Cup", than in the Champions League, and the gold content of the championship was higher than that of the Champions League, but after all, Serie A is only a national league, and the Champions League is a competition for most of the European league champions, and the importance of the latter is self-evident.

Even if you don't talk about influence, just about bonuses, the bonuses in the Champions League (including the share of broadcast fees) are much higher than those in Serie A.

In the Champions League, as long as you enter the group stage, you will have a share of the broadcast fee of 10,000 euros, and if you can win the championship, the final prize money will reach 100 million euros.

In Serie A, the championship team will share less than 20 million euros in a season's broadcast.

So in terms of economic terms, it is much more useful to concentrate on winning the Champions League than to win the league.

Therefore, since Moratti took charge of Inter Milan, he has been working hard for the Champions League, only ten years of hard work, and now he has only fulfilled his wish under the super play of Ronaldo and Ricardo.

The preparation of the club is adequate. On the evening of the 25th, the players took an open-top bus from the Pinettina training base to Piazza Meazza.

Along the way, fans wearing blue and black jerseys and waving blue and black scarves joined the parade.

Zanetti sat at the front, holding aloft the glittering Big Ear Cup, while the rest of the players waved and interacted with the fans from time to time.

Fans sang "SoloaInter" and "We are the champions" to the music played by the bus, as if they were tireless, singing and dancing next to the slowly moving bus.

There were also fans who chanted "His Majesty the King" and "His Royal Highness the Prince" to pay tribute to Ronaldo and Ricardo, the biggest contributors in the final.

When the bus arrived at the city square, some fans stopped in front of the bus and shouted: "Your Majesty, please stay!" ”

The cry immediately resonated, with almost all the fans present shouting in unison: "Your Majesty, please stay!" The voice resounded through the sky.

Ricardo didn't go to the newspaper today, but Ronaldo's words in an interview yesterday were likely to be reported in a way that made fans think he was leaving – even though he was.

Under the brilliant light, Ronaldo seemed to have a crystal liquid in the corner of his eye. He wiped his eyes, waved to the fans, and did not reply "stay" or leave. In this situation, he couldn't say anything about leaving.

When he came to the city, he was still a young man.

He is now about to turn 29 and has been here for eight seasons. He left his best years and his best performances at the Meazza Stadium.

From the 97-98 season to the present, he has brought Inter Milan 4 Serie A titles, 2 Coppa Italia titles, and a Champions League title, and it can be said that he has no regrets.

Fans can't expect more.

Don't look at the small number of 4 Serie A titles, it is far less shocking than Inter Milan's 5 consecutive championships and Juventus's 7 consecutive championships in the future.

But those back-to-back titles were built on the overall decline of Serie A, when most of the teams in Serie A lost their competitiveness.

From the 97-98 season to the present, Serie A is still in the last afterglow of the sunset, and the championship battle is by no means Inter Milan and Juventus taking turns to sit in the bank, AC Milan is still the world's top team at this time, and Roma, Parma, Lazio, etc. are still competitive.

Winning 4 Serie A championships in this era is as high as the 5 consecutive championships and 7 consecutive championships in the future cannot be compared.

The bus slowly pulls into the Meazza Stadium.

The stadium, which chronicles the rise and fall of history, is once again a sea of joy.
