At the press conference, the look of pain in the eyes of "Master Tactician" Benitez could not hide it.

'The lads have done their best and we played tenaciously. But the result is regrettable. That's football and we'll come back next year. ”

"Congratulations to Inter, their victory is beyond reproach and they deserve the title."

'Inter Milan are one of the best teams on the planet and their forward line is enviable. The three super strikers caused us a lot of problems tonight. ”

"Yes, Ricardo's goal at the end was beautiful. Frankly, my mind went blank at the time. I have never seen a young man who could do what he did at his age. Congratulations to him, he has a bright future ahead and I think he can become a top five striker in the world and even reach the heights of Ronaldo, if he doesn't stop trying. ”

'This defeat was a big blow but the Liverpudlians are not going to let that go down. We're going to make some changes in the summer transfer window, some people will go, some people will stay, there will be some new blood coming in, and next season you'll see a new Liverpool team that still has the quality to reach the final. If they meet Inter Milan next time, the lads will definitely take revenge. ”

Since Benitez has not lost his demeanor, Mancini will naturally not beat the water dogs. Moreover, belittling the opponent will make his championship less valuable, and he will not do such a brainless thing.

'Liverpool are a strong team, they were very motivated in the game and I felt like I was out of control at one point. Luckily Ronnie and Ricardo broke out and they brought us a win. But don't underestimate the contribution of other players, 22 people worked hard to complete a classic game. ”

"Thank you to the fans, who have always been with the team and cheered us on when we were at the bottom of the pack. I would like to thank the management of the club for their great support. Thank you to everyone who loves this team, tonight, we finally made our dream come true. ”

'It's too early to talk about next season, we're going to focus on the Coppa Italia final. The Triple Crown? Why not, I think we have a chance. Rome is a strong team, but we are the kings of Europe. ”

"Ronnie transfer? No, I don't know, he still has a contract with the club and I think he's happy to keep it. We haven't received an offer from another team yet. Frankly, I don't think any team can afford Ronnie, I think he's worth at least 300 million. ”

"Ricardo? When you have a talented teenager who can score twice in the Champions League final at the age of 18, you will certainly do everything you can to keep him. I think the club will soon start talks with his agent to renew his contract. Yes, Ricardo will stay at Inter Milan and you'll see him in the Nerazzurri next season. ”

"I repeat again, Ricardo is not for sale, no matter how much money he sells, he will stay and go with us to win more championships."

……

Inter Milan did not stop in Istanbul, and after receiving the award, the whole team chartered a flight back to Milan overnight.

On the plane, the players were still excited, and the Big Ear Cup was passed around. In this era, smartphones have only just appeared, they have not yet become popular, and selfies are not very popular, otherwise everyone will definitely take a selfie with this trophy in their arms.

Ricardo sat next to Ronaldo, watching him play with his teammates, and never spoke.

When Ronaldo was tired and leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, Ricardo whispered: "Dadardo, are you really going to leave?" ”

Ronaldo opened his eyes and looked around for a moment before replying in a low voice, "Shhhhhhhhhhh I decided a long time ago to get the Champions League and leave. ”

Licardo said hurriedly: "But I just transferred, and I don't want to leave yet." Don't you want to stay and win a few more championships with me? ”

Ronaldo smiled: "You can stay." I've wanted to take on a new challenge and I've spoken to Mr. Moratti that if I win the Champions League, he'll let me go. ”

"But now Mr. Moratti is not the chairman."

"Again, Mr. Facchetti will abide by this agreement."

Ricardo felt very uncomfortable. He came to the city for Ronaldo, and he had just adapted to the place and accepted the fans here, and Ronaldo was leaving.

"Is it okay to leave later?" "Two more seasons, no, one season." ”

"I'll be 29 in September," Ronaldo sighed, "and I'm not going to have a few years left in my career, so I'm going to pursue something new while I'm still running." ”

"You can play until you're 50."

"Don't be funny, my body, I know very well that there are too many hidden dangers in my body," Ronaldo's voice revealed a sadness, "Once it breaks out, maybe my career will end here." The injuries I've suffered over the years are all there, waiting to come back. ”

Ricardo thought for a moment and asked, "Where do you want to go, Premier League?" Or La Liga? ”

"I don't know," Ronaldo admitted, "that there are teams in the Premier League and La Liga that have invited me. Florentino flew to Milan last time to invite me to dinner. The conditions offered by Real Madrid are very good and I am seriously considering it. ”

Ricardo turned his head to look out of the dark porthole. "Then I'll go. Wherever you go, I'll go. ”

"You don't need to leave, man," Ronaldo laughed, "there are so many brothers in football, and not all of them play for the same club. The Baresi brothers played for Milan respectively, and the Laudrup brothers and the De Boer brothers did not play together. Didn't the Neville brothers finally separate as well? ”

"I'm still a little bit uncomfortable, Daddado, it's a great feeling to play with you." Ricardo said.

'I know, I know, it's a great feeling to play with you, you always get the ball where I'm most comfortable and every time I want to pass it, I look up and see you're in the right place. Ronaldo sighed.

"Anyway, I wish you all the best."

"I wish you all the best, and I hope you can lead Inter Milan to win a few more titles and continue this glorious era."

The brothers stopped talking.

Ricardo was saddened. He would love to play next to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo doesn't necessarily need him.

Without him, Ronaldo would still be the same Ronaldo, the invincible king of the ball.

And without Ronaldo, could he still be the genius who scored twice in the Champions League final?

Actually, I need you, and you need me. I'll prove it to you. 8)
