160. Celebratory reception
Jiang Qi made two substitutions in quick succession, first bringing on Didier Drogba for Inzaghi and then Ambrosini for Rui Costa. The former is to increase the impact of the attack, and the Porto defense, which has been suppressed by AC Milan's offensive pressure for nearly 70 minutes, is already in a state of fatigue, and sending Warcraft classmates on the field will undoubtedly raise their tense nerves by a level. Lord Rui's stamina was almost at the end of his life, and Ambrosini defended more well.
Jose Mourinho made no further substitutions and, in his opinion, the 11 players on the pitch had already played to a level that he was very happy with.
Didier Drogba had a chance in the third minute when he crushed Kostina from the edge of the field with his strong body, but the ball was blocked by the post......
After that, there was no more turmoil until Gonzalez blew the final whistle.
AC Milan players began to rush to the field frantically, the staff also happily participated, only Jiang Qi waved his fist and returned to the coach's box to sit down, this game he really felt what kind of state it is to be physically and mentally exhausted, Porto gave him pressure even stronger than the two-legged match with Arsenal, you must know that when the Magic Birds team is determined to defend, you are facing the toughest battle on the football field.
Put the victory in his pocket, all this came as if it came naturally, and Lao Jiang really didn't feel ecstatic or excited after this Europa pinnacle battle, but calmly like an outsider.
Digging into his pocket, the rookie head remembered that it seemed that he had quit smoking since the crossing......
Expecting to be targeted by players who had vented their stress and joy for a while, Jiang Qi stood up and was about to go to the locker room to hide, but turned his head to find that Mourinho had already taken the initiative to come over.
"Congratulations on your final victory, but we'll meet again next season!" , Uncle Bird said solemnly and seriously, and at the same time made Lao Jiang smell a different taste.
"Thank you! Porto have been the toughest opponent we've faced this season, not one of them. The rookie coach didn't mean to compliment at all, he would rather run into an opponent with a lot of offensive firepower than a team with a tough defense like kraft candy.
Mourinho didn't say anything else, and the two shook hands before turning to leave, but his arrival also delayed Jiang Qi's trip, so Lao Jiang was caught by the players again...... The end speaks for itself.
The plaque ceremony was presented by Johansson and a group of celebrities, and finally the whole team gathered in the center of the stadium, and captain Maldini raised the Big Ears Cup for the fifth time to be crowned with glory.
This Champions League final is AC Milan's last game of the season, and because there is no cup entanglement, a series of celebrations planned by the club are on the agenda.
The celebration reception was arranged before the parade of floats, which was equivalent to a social gathering within the club, and the players and staff took off their sportswear, put on suits and brought their female companions, making the atmosphere of the whole reception feel relaxed and warm.
Anne had flown to China because the company's marketing plan needed to be finalized in the summer season, and Xue Bing also flew away as a companion, Jiang Qi came to the reception alone, and after a short speech in Geddes, Galliani smiled and announced the bonus distribution plan, Jiang Qi went up and sincerely thanked the team for their trust and support over the past season, and then made some desserts and other nests in the corner to prepare to fill their stomachs.
After a while, Shevchenko found Lao Jiang with a wine glass.
"It's decided?" Jiang Qi raised his glass to him and motioned for Sheva to sit beside him.
"Hmm." , the idea of the Ukrainians has been communicated with Lao Jiang many times before, and it is natural to understand what he is referring to.
"The Premier League side is more confrontational, and the physical requirements for the players are higher, so I won't let them go to England two years later." At that time, when Serie A was in turmoil, Sheva's departure was regarded as a "defection" by many Milan fans, and then he came to Stamford Bridge at a high price but did not play a price that matched his value, which also made many fans feel Galliani's shrewdness.
Shevchenko shook his head, "In a few months, the child will be born, Roman and I have said a lot, but there is only one thing that I agree with the most, and that is the future of the child." ”
His girlfriend Christina is five months pregnant, and the whole team also held a blessing party for Shevchenko a few months ago, and the two are ready to get married this summer, Jiang Qi understands that Sheva has begun to change his role, compared to Milan, London's advantages in educational resources are self-evident, and after the legendary defense of the Champions League, the Ukrainian has almost no thirst for team honors, leaving Milan to seek a new challenge, plus a boss who favors him immensely, This has undoubtedly become a weight that weighs down one end of the scale.
'Listen to Roman, Chelsea's manager for the new season will be Carlo Ancelotti, I think he knows you better than I do, and I'm sure your transition in England will be a success. After Jiang Qi made a blessing, he immediately changed his words, "Although I will not set up obstacles in the transfer, I hope Roman can give a worthy value worthy of our trump card, I think he should not be stingy in this regard." ”
Despite the decision to let Shevchenko go, Jiang Qi still has to clarify the issue of transfer fees, although the two clubs are not bad for money.
Sheva nodded in response, and Jiang Qi gave a cursory talk about some of his views on the Premier League, and he was also looking forward to the Ukrainian's performance in the new season.
However, Jiang Qi is destined to not be idle at today's reception, and the second person to find him is captain Paolo Maldini.
"Paul, you want to retire?" , The rookie head looked at the Milan captain opposite with some surprise.
Maldini nodded firmly, "In the final, after facing that young man who was forced to break through with his speed, I suddenly had this thought, and I felt that it was time to leave this court. ”
The 36-year-old looked extremely lonely at this moment.
"Let's stay for another year." After a while, Jiang Qi suggested, "Next season we still need to add young people to our team's backline, on the one hand, we need your help, and on the other hand, I hope you can seriously consider entering the team's coaching staff...... After next season, I will retire from the coaching role and move into management. Paul, I think you're a good fit to be the successor because you know this team better than I do! ”
Finding a manager who can replace him is another thing that Jiang Qi needs to think about this summer, he prefers to dig from within the Milan team, and Maldini's words today also sent him a suitable candidate.
Maldini pondered for a long time and nodded, "Good! I'll think about it! ”
