Chapter 199: 60 Million Champions League Bonus!
During the question session, the reporter of the team newspaper asked: "Mr. Ancelotti, in the first half, Arsenal successfully cut off the connection between the two Milan strikers, and Milan's attack fell into passivity. How did you make adjustments at half-time? ”
Carlo Ancelotti thought for a moment and said: "Ronnie told me that Arsenal's backline will be torn apart by us, and Don definitely supports this idea. Since they were so confident, as a coach, of course I believed in them, so at half-time I didn't make any adjustments. ”
Maldini's eyes showed surprise, this was not the real situation last night, it was obviously Don who said this, and it was Ronnie who supported him, why did the coach do this? Is it to protect Don? According to Ronnie's status in the rivers and lakes, no one will dispute him, yes, it must be like this!
It seems that if I want to go on the road of coaching in the future, there are still many places to learn.
A reporter from Marca asked: "Mr. Ancelotti, many people are very strange why you asked Ronny to start with Don. Ronnie and Don have almost the same characteristics, they are both known for their breakthroughs. Their poor heading skills limit Milan's attacking routine, and if Vieri is on the pitch, Milan can threaten Arsenal's goal in the air; If Inzaghi is on the pitch, Milan can win in chaos. ”
'If we hadn't put Ronnie and Don on the pitch together, we probably wouldn't have had the problem in last night's game. Why do you want to do this? ”
Ancelotti smiled and asked rhetorically: "If you were the coach of Milan, would you put any of them on the bench?" ”
The reporter of the Marca newspaper thought for a moment and shrugged. This question was not answered.
He continued, "Whether you will or not, I won't do it anyway. Ditch the sharpest weapon and go to a duel with someone else? I'm not that kind of person! ”
A reporter from German Kicker magazine asked: "I would like to express my sincere respect for Milan who overcame difficulties to win the Champions League under the cover of the phone. My question is, Milan won the Serie A title this year, is there a referee problem? ”
Ancelotti's face darkened, and he said: "First of all, thank you for your praise of Milan. I can say to you here that there is nothing wrong with Milan's Serie A title, we are innocent. You can go and watch the game footage. Speaking of the question of referees. We have had referee misjudgments in many games and we are the victims, not the beneficiaries. ”
Ancelotti's mood suddenly fell, and he continued with a frown: "The phonegate is a stain on Italian football. I hope the prosecution office. I was able to get things to the bottom of things earlier. If you're going to say that Milan's champions have problems. It's not fair to the players that their hard work is in vain, don't you see the players fighting the pitch? ”
Ancelotti also didn't care that Maldini hadn't spoken yet. He got up and left the venue. The reporters in the venue looked at each other, and Maldini hurriedly said to the reporters on the field: "The coach is in a bad mood, please forgive me." ”
He straightened things out and said: "Last year we were 3-0 up, we were equalised by Liverpool and finally lost on penalties. For us, that's the most painful thing. We didn't let this happen last night, we took our destiny into our own hands. ”
"Henry did well last night and Don was even better than him. He was the brightest star at the Stade de France last night. I know you have a lot to ask him, and I once suggested to the coach that Don come to the press conference. Maldini shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "But the coach didn't agree, saying it was UEFA's request. ”
Maldini's words lightened the mood in the room, sweeping away the embarrassment of Ancelotti's departure.
"Okay, the three of them have already spoken, so let's move on to the question session!"
The newspaper's reporter asked: "Mr. Maldini, I congratulate you on winning your third Champions League trophy, as far as I know, you are the most successful player in the Champions League. How do you feel about this? ”
Maldini smiled and said: "Maybe it's because I've been in Milan, Milan is a great team and deserves to serve him for the rest of my life!" ”
A reporter from German Kicker magazine asked: "What do you think of Don last night?" ”
Maldini smiled and said, "Anything can be done!" ”
A Sky Sports reporter asked: "What do you most want to say to Henry right now?" ”
Maldini thought for a moment and said, "Come to Milan!" We welcome you to join us and come here to win the Champions League together! ”
Some media exclaimed, Milan officially sent an invitation to Henry, and Henry faced a new choice!
……
At eleven o'clock in the morning the next day, Milan dragged his tired body up and down to board the plane on the way back. As soon as they got on the plane, everyone entered the dream. Extreme excitement was followed by extreme fatigue, and the tense final was finally over, and their whole body and mind were relaxed.
With the sound of even breathing, the plane crossed the sky and landed at Milan International Airport. Carlo Ancelotti did not restrict any of his players from being interviewed by the media. Dragging luggage, everyone swept away the fatigue, and they returned with honor!
When the Milan group entered the media eye, the media reporters began to stir. Captain Maldini and Ronnie walked at the front of the team with the Big Ear Cup, and Don did not hold his two trophies in his arms.
The group walked towards the metal fence, and the reporters suddenly contradicted, which one is this interviewing?
Ancelotti watched this scene with great pleasure so that no one bothered him. He led the coaching staff and substitutes out of the airport. Sure enough, none of the reporters shouted his name, and they were all dazzled by the star in front of them.
Soon the journalists made a decision, they chose their own target. Judging from the number of reporters, the number of people in front of Tang Jue was almost the same as Ronnie's. The two of them are the most popular, Ronnie has long been a sonic sensation in football and has been the target of the media, and Tang Jue is a rising star as quickly as a comet, and the speed and height of his rise are astounding.
……
"Ronnie, how are you feeling right now?"
"Very happy. Very satisfying! ”
"Ronnie, the Stade de France used to be your sad place, and last night you made a big slam for yourself. Who would you most like to thank for? ”
Ronnie blurted out, "Don! ”
"For what? Is it because he gives you assists? ”
"Yes, but that's not all, for example, he helped Milan reach the final, so I had the opportunity to wash away the shame of eight years ago at the Stade de France; For example, he once said to me that he wanted to help me realize my dream of the Champions League, and this dream finally came true! ”
"Don is such a person in your eyes?"
"He's an extremely serious guy when he's training. In the game. He's a guy who makes all defenders fear. Off the field. He's my friend and we've always had a good relationship! ”
……
"Don, that goal of yours is so incredible, can you tell me what you thought at the time?"
"Lose your center of gravity. To finish that shot. I had to use that action. ”
"Lyman pulled you to the foot. You had already fallen on the turf, so why did you have to get that shot? If you fall, you can win a penalty for Milan. You can also get Lehmann a red card, why didn't you do that? ”
'For a striker to have a chance to get the ball into the opponent's goal, it's a matter of getting the shot. As for what you said, I didn't even think about it at the time. I had only one belief at the time to score against Arsenal, they had given me too few chances and if I hadn't taken that opportunity I might have missed it. ”
"The pass you gave Kaka can shoot by himself, why do you want to pass the ball to him?"
'It's a good question to explain, I asked him during the game if he wanted to score and he said yes. I told him that when I broke through with the ball, you ran desperately into the box. Luckily, that finally happened, so I passed the ball to him. ”
"Don, did the final put a lot of pressure on you? Also, when Henry was on a long run, what prompted you to go crazy and chase back? ”
"Of course the pressure in the final was so great that I had to run wildly to defuse it, which explains why I had to chase Henry from the front. Henry's speed was good, and I couldn't catch up with him at the end of the day, so I had to tackle. I didn't tackle the ball well and couldn't get the ball down. ”
"However, that's fine, otherwise there would be no Nesta's wonderful header!"
Tang Jue's witty and humorous answer made the reporters burst into laughter.
"Can you tell us who that little girl you were holding when you received the award? Someone looked closely at the video of the game and found out that the girl was a caddy, did you know each other before? ”
"Her name is Barris, and she is an ordinary little French girl. On the pitch, I asked her if she wanted to lift the trophy on the sideline and she said yes, so I asked her to wait in the dressing room. I promised the child that the child's work would be completed, so when the award was presented, I held him in my arms. ”
The reporters looked at each other, and immediately they became excited, interviewing this person did have other gains!
"So, you had a premonition before the game that Milan were going to win?"
"No, I never had a premonition before a game."
"So, you are confident that you will be able to defeat your opponent in the final?"
"Of course, if you don't have faith, how can you beat your opponent!"
"If, I say, if Milan fails, what would you explain to the little girl?"
"We won't fail!"
"What is your outlook for the World Cup?"
Tang Jue smiled and asked: "If I say that I want to help the French team win the World Cup, do you believe it?" ”
"Don, those two trophies of yours? Why don't you hold it in your arms? ”
"I'll show you the more important trophies when I get them!"
……
On the afternoon of the second day of the final, UEFA officially announced the distribution of prize money for this season's Champions League on the official website, Milan won the championship and got a huge bonus of 60 million euros, and the runner-up Arsenal got 32 million euros.
UEFA explains on its official website that the team's prize money is made up of results, market revenues and a share of broadcast rights. Barcelona has more market revenue and broadcast share than Arsenal.
The main reason why the media analyzed that Barcelona had more bonuses than Arsenal was that Barcelona was more famous than Arsenal.
Liverpool won the championship last year, receiving 39 million euros in prize money, and as the Champions League has become more attractive, sponsors are shelling out more and more money and broadcasting fees are getting higher.
The huge prize money of the Champions League will surely attract more giants to invest heavily in the purchase of stars!
The huge Champions League bonus has made football enter a big era! (To be continued......)
