Chapter 198: Words of Beauty!

In the Milan locker room at the Stade de France that night, no one was sober, everyone was drunk, even Carlo Ancelotti!

At nine o'clock the next morning, at the Paris City Hall, where a press conference is to be held. Last night was the final, and after the final, the coaches and players of both sides were going to attend the medal ceremony, so there was no press conference.

The atmosphere at the venue was very warm, and the reporters wanted to hear what the coaches and captains of both sides had to say. Last night's game was so varied, with long runs, comebacks, and an unbelievable header on goal.

Sitting on the podium were the managers of both sides and the captains of both teams. Before the meeting began, the four hugged each other. When Maldini hugged Henry, he formally extended an invitation to him to return to Milan. Last night, during the drink, Ronnie told Maldini what he thought, and Maldini thought it was a good idea.

The host said into the microphone: "Now I invite Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to speak!" ”

Wenger rubbed his throat and said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Milan on winning their seventh Champions League trophy in their history, they showed the quality of a champion team. Last night we played a great game for the fans of the world, and it was the best team who won. ”

'I'm very proud of my players, playing in the Champions League for the first time and showing their tenacity and playing at their level to the fullest.

'Thierry Henry is a great player, he scored the first goal for Milan and I'm proud of that, he never disappoints. His goal brought us one step closer to victory. ”

"Milan are stronger than Arsenal in terms of quality, especially their attacking power. Ronnie, Don, Kaka. All three have the ability to score goals at any time to change the score. They proved it in the subsequent races. ”

'Arsenal have a future, and the 18-year-old Cesc Fabregas came close to scoring his own goal in the Champions League final last night. Arsenal are a team full of energy and we will make a comeback next season! ”

Arsene Wenger's speech was brief, and he knew he was not the protagonist today. This was followed by a Q&A session.

The Daily Mail reporter asked: "Mr Arsene Wenger, in the first 50 minutes of the game, your players defended well against Ronnie and Don and did not give them a great chance to shoot. What do you think was the reason for not doing this later? ”

Wenger thought for a moment and said: "The main thing is that the pressure in the final is too much, and the other thing is that the final is very tense. They are participating in the finals for the first time. In a tight game, there can be momentary slackness. Ronnie and Don are great players who can take the moments that come their way. ”

The reporter from Milan's sports newspaper asked: "Mr. Arsene Wenger, your defensive strategy is even better than that of Rijkaard. on this. A lot of people show respect for you. Where do you think Arsenal lost the most? ”

Wenger touched his nose. Shrugging his shoulders, he said: "Milan are stronger than us in terms of quality, and they have more experience in Champions League finals than us. This is the main reason for Arsenal's failure. ”

The Marca reporter asked: "According to you, Arsenal want to win the Champions League. You have to bring in quality players for next season, what are your plans for this summer? ”

Arsene Wenger said: 'Of course, our goal for next season is to win the Champions League, so we will have big moves this summer. As for the specific candidate, it has not yet been decided. ”

……

The moderator said, "I now give the floor to Henry. ”

The reporters off the field were full of anticipation, and before the game, Italian media said that Henry's agent went to Barcelona to discuss the details of the transfer. Arsenal failed to reach the top and Thierry Henry's transfer is very likely.

Henry said into the microphone: "Congratulations to Milan for winning the title, congratulations to Ronnie for fulfilling his dream of the Champions League." ”

'We played well last night and I'm proud of my team-mates, they did their best. As for the result, Milan deserved to be the last champion, and the mighty Barcelona were unable to stop them. ”

Thierry Henry's implication was how Arsenal could prevent Milan from winning the title, and Arsene Wenger frowned as Thierry Henry spoke again about Barca.

"The finals are over, and the next thing is to have a good rest for a few days, and the World Cup is about to start. For me, this is probably the last cup of the world. I'll prepare carefully. ”

The Milan Sports News reporter keenly grasped the meaning behind Henry's words, and when asked, he asked: "You are twenty-nine years old this year, and when you go to the World Cup in South Africa, you will be thirty-three years old, which is not too old for a striker, and you can play at all." So, what do you say that this may be your last World Cup? ”

Henry thought for a moment and said, "No one knows what will happen in the future. Maybe I won't be there in the next World Cup. ”

Last night's blow was too big for Henry to recover from, and after he scored, Don Jue completely took over the game, one goal, two assists. Henri felt that as he grew older, after four years, the younger generation in France would definitely grow up, and there would be a place for himself.

The reporter of the Marca newspaper asked: "Does this have anything to do with Don's great performance last night?" ”

Tang Jue's name is a sensitive one in Henry's heart, the two are partners in the French team, and both of them have the intention of becoming the leader of the French team in the post-Zidane era.

Henry said: "It doesn't matter, we have a good relationship privately. He did a great job last night and I'm here to congratulate him. We also have to compete together in the upcoming World Cup in Germany. What I'm saying is that maybe, this may be my last World Cup, and I didn't say for sure that I will not participate in the next World Cup. ”

A reporter from the British Daily Mail asked: "You just said that 'the mighty Barcelona have not been able to stop them from moving forward. Can this be understood to mean that you were not optimistic about Arsenal before the game? ”

Henry was a little angry, he was already very sad in his heart when he lost the game, and the reporter is now asking such a question. Thierry Henry quickly adjusted his mood and wanted to maintain his usual image in front of the media: "You misunderstood, I do think Milan are strong, but I have always had confidence in Arsenal. I believe we can beat Milan in the last place. ”

"We lost at the last and it had something to do with our experience in the final. If we can keep the pressure on Ronnie and Don and break the ties between them, we may be the ones who come out on top. ”

A reporter from German Kicker magazine asked: "As the forward partner of the national team, what do you think of Don's performance last night?" ”

Thierry Henry knows that there are some problems that cannot be avoided, and he laughs: "As a striker partner for France, I always thought he was a very, very good young player. We participated in the World Cup qualifiers together, and he grew up very fast, unbelievably fast, beyond people's common sense. ”

"Of course. He's not the only player to make a name for himself as a teenager. Ronnie was already the top scorer in the Eredivisie when he was his age, averaging almost one goal per game. Ronnie is a genius and Don is also a genius. ”

'He did well last night. There is calmness beyond the real age. On the field, you can see every secret of the defender. We have to admit it. He took over the second half. The better he performs, the more hopeful we will have in the World Cup. ”

The British Sky Sports reporter asked: "I'm sure everybody cares about your transfer. Now can you talk? ”

Henry exhaled a long breath and relaxed his facial expression a little: "Everything will not be decided until the end of the World Realm Cup." I will tell you as soon as possible, whether to go or stay. ”

……

Arsene Wenger and Thierry Henry left the venue and handed it to the winners.

Ancelotti didn't wait for the host to speak, and began to say into the microphone: "Arsenal are respectable opponents, they are stronger than we thought. I said to Arsene Wenger after the game, if I had to say who I didn't want to face the most, you would be number one. ”

"Arsene Wenger's defensive strategy was very strong, cutting off the link between Ronnie and Don, and then even Kaka almost broke the link between them. This is the first time we've encountered this in a competition. But it's still us who wins! ”

'Last night Ronnie fulfilled his Champions League dream by scoring the equaliser. Don only scored one goal, but his impact was huge. He's developed into a great player, always doing great in key games and I'm very proud of him! ”

"Last night, he ran fifty or sixty meters from the front to catch up with Henry, and although he didn't shovel the ball off Henry's feet, he did provide Nesta with time to get back. This scene touched us, and at the same time, it also showed his desire for victory. ”

"In the second leg against Barcelona, there was criticism that he was like a lone wolf, but he did it for the win. Don's football philosophy may be different from everyone's, he is after winning, and it doesn't matter how he gets it. There were times when he chose to finish on his own, and there were times when he chose to cooperate with his teammates. ”

"Last night, he did both ways to win. In order to win at Camp Nou, he opted to finish the shot himself. There is a lot of pressure on this choice, and if it doesn't succeed, he will be blamed by the media, but he still chooses this way, what is this for? ”

"Doesn't he know the consequences? No, he knew for sure, why did he do this? We can feel his responsibility, his sense of responsibility, he would rather bear the infamy of the whole world, but also shoulder the burden of the team's goal. With that alone, he can become a great player! ”

After winning the Champions League, Ancelotti can finally stretch his chest and say the words that are holding in his heart. He was defending his beloved disciple, and this occasion was the best opportunity to do so.

Ancelotti exhaled a long breath and continued: "Praise should also be given to Nesta last night, if it wasn't for his header, we would have been down 0-1 in the first half. Maldini is still playing consistently, and he is the backbone of Milan's defence. ”

"It's been a perfect season and it's the result of the whole team. We've put in great performances for the fans and I'm so proud of them, they're the greatest players in the world! ”

There was a round of applause from the audience, and this was a round of applause for the winners. Maldini stepped out of his seat and hugged Ancelotti. It was a touching scene where they threw Ancelotti in the air last night as a sign of respect and respect for him. (To be continued......)
