Chapter 15: A Light Comes on in the Dead of Night!

Tang Jue was invited by UEFA to attend the group draw ceremony, because the draw ceremony was preceded by last season's Champions League award ceremony. As the top scorer and best player in the Champions League last season, he has to accept the trophy under the flashing lights and under the eyes of hundreds of millions of people.

At seven o'clock in the evening of the 29th, Baldano and Tang Jue walked into the conference hall under the flashing lights and on the red carpet. There were already many people in the huge conference hall, and many people stretched out their hands to Tang Jue, and Tang Jue smiled and shook hands with them one by one. A gray-haired, familiar figure appeared in Tang Jue's field of vision, this person was smiling all over his face, with his arms outstretched, waiting for him.

Tang Jue walked a few steps quickly, and a bear hugging hugged him fiercely.

"Coach, I miss you so much!" Tang Jue said in his ear, his eyes a little moist. Carlo Ancelotti reminded him of his days in Milan, a time of nostalgia when they worked together to dominate Europe for two years in a row.

Ancelotti patted Tang Jue's shoulder and said, "I miss you too!" ”

The first round of Serie A matches this season has come to an end, with Milan losing 1-0 away to Genoa, ending their unbeaten run at 59 games. The passion of the Milan players seemed to run out last season, and the fighting spirit against Genoa was not high.

Carlo Ancelotti misses the man in front of him who has a lot of fighting spirit on the pitch and can influence his teammates through his positive influence. In his opinion, if Tang Jue is still in Milan, the unbeaten record will continue to expand. Some people only know his preciousness after losing it, and Ancelotti knows his preciousness when he doesn't lose Tang Jue.

Baldano hugged Ancelotti and left, leaving space for the former master and apprentice.

"How are you doing at Real Madrid?" Ancelotti asked.

Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "It's okay." However, the atmosphere in the dressing room is different from that in Milan. ”

Ancelotti smiled and said, "Mr. Calderon has cleared the way for you, otherwise, your life will be even more difficult." As for the dressing room, the history and traditions of each team are different, and the culture of the dressing room is different, so you will get used to it slowly. ”

The two began to chat, and Tang Jue asked about the current situation of Ronnie and the others. Carlo Ancelotti shook his head and said that Ronnie was now lazy, as if he had completely lost his fighting spirit, and Kaka's injury was affected. The recent situation is not good. The new arrivals have not yet fully integrated and in short, Milan are not in good shape right now.

……

At 7:45 a.m., the ceremony officially began. Platini began by announcing last season's top scorer: "Last season, the Champions League set a new record. The first team to successfully defend the title since the restructuring appeared; The Champions League single-season goal record, which has been in the dust for 43 years, has finally been broken, and so on. ”

"Twenty-one goals. Someone raised the record of 14 goals to an incredible height all at once. He was none other than Don from France. This new record was set at AC Milan! ”

There was applause from the audience, Magath remembered the crazy 7-7 at the Allianz Stadium, and the lord remembered the reversal of 2-3 at Old Trafford. Benitez remembered the volley that shocked the world in the final...... The coaches of these teams who have played against Milan in the past remembered the game of the last season and the picture of Tang Jue scoring their goal.

"Next, please come to the stage to receive the Champions League top scorer trophy!"

Tang Jue walked up to the stage amid applause and received the trophy from Platini. Platini said in his ear: "I hope to give you this trophy again next year." ”

Tang Jue smiled and said, "It's not difficult!" ”

His words were still so confident, and Platini shook his head and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

After Tang Jue stepped down in applause, Platini said into the microphone: "After the evaluation of the UEFA expert committee, the honor of the best player in the Champions League last season will be awarded to Don!" ”

Tang Jue had no choice but to hand over the trophy of the best scorer to Baldano next to him and accept the award on stage again. Platini then awarded Carlo Ancelotti for last season's Champions League Manager of the Year and AC Milan for Team of the Year. Milan emerged as the winner of the ceremony, winning several of the most important prizes.

Holding the top scorer trophy, Baldano whispered, "I hope that this time next year, we will be here again." ”

This sentence contained a lot of information, Tang Jue nodded and said: "Just now Mr. Platini told me that he hopes to continue to award me the trophy of the best scorer next year, and I told him that the trophy must be mine, and others can't get it." ”

"I hope that I will be able to accept the award next year," Baldano said. ”

As the general manager of the club, he took the stage to receive the award, of course, to receive the trophy of the best team. The best team in the Champions League is generally awarded to the winner. Valdano is clear, he wants Real Madrid to win the Champions League this season.

Tang Jue said: "This is my goal!" ”

Baldano smiled happily and said, "You are very similar to Maradona in many ways. ”

Baldano is Argentine, some say he is the killer who hides by Maradona's side, Raul's guide. As a player, he made 142 appearances for Real Madrid, who won the La Liga title in 1994-1995 as Real Madrid manager.

The 1986 World Cup was a World Cup that belonged to Maradona alone. Of Argentina's 14 goals, Maradona scored five, assisted five and single-handedly created 10 goals. He was accompanied by a well-connected companion, Giorgio Baldano, a tall striker who was a pawn around Maradona in Bilardo's star tactics, waiting for any opportunities the king could create.

Born in Las Paremias, Argentina, on 4 October 1955, Baldano began his playing career with a local team, playing for Nevells Old Boys in Argentina from 1971 to 75 before moving to La Liga, where he played for Alaves, Zaragoza and Real Madrid.

Baldano had an illustrious time at Real Madrid, signing with Real Madrid on 16 July 1984 and playing three successful seasons here, winning two La Liga titles with the team before retiring early at the age of 32 due to hepatitis. Later, Baldano became a coach.

Baldano played in two World Cups on his own, and in 1982 he was unknown in Spain, making only two appearances without making a difference. In 1986, at the age of 31, Baldano reached the peak of his career, and he brought out his greatest energy by Maradona's side.

In this World Cup, Baldano participated in 7 games and scored 4 goals, 2 of which came from Maradona's assists, and in the match with Italy, the goal scored by Maradona was passed by Baldano, and the cooperation between the two was quite tacit.

On June 29, 1986, Baldano scored the most important goal of his career. In the 55th minute of the World Cup final Argentina vs. West Germany, he received a pass from his teammates and scored the second goal of the Argentine team by inserting a push from the left side. It is every striker's dream to score in the final of the World Cup, with Argentina beating West Germany 3-2 to lift the Cup, and Baldano received the most important honour before retiring.

In the summer of 1991, Tenerife, who was in the middle of the league at the time, hired Baldano as the team's manager and began his coaching career, becoming Real Madrid's manager in 1993. In the 94-95 season, Raul of the second team was recruited to the first team and let him participate in the league with many big-name stars, and Raul began his legend in Real Madrid.

It was in this season that Baldano led the team to the La Liga title and reached the peak of his coaching career.

In September 2000, PΓ©rez, who defeated Sands in the club's general election, had a four-hour conversation with Baldano in a bar near Madrid, and then decided to hire him as the club's general manager.

Perez admits that he doesn't know much about football, so he gives Baldano a lot of power. Baldano is not only in charge of Real Madrid's football and basketball teams, but also controls the life and death of players and coaches. Perez wants to use Baldano's popularity at Real Madrid, as well as his knowledge of the player, to act as a coordinator within the club's leadership.

Baldano witnessed Real Madrid's ninth Champions League win in the 01-02 season. At this moment, he hopes that Real Madrid will be brilliant again and successfully stand on the top of Europe, so he brought out Maradona to inspire Tang Jue.

Tang Jue smiled and said, "He is my target!" ”

……

After the award ceremony, the draw for this season's Champions League group began. The draw ceremony took place under Platini's auspices, and the results were soon in. Real Madrid are seeded in Group C against Greece's Olympiacos, Germany's Werder Bremen and Italy's Lazio.

Looking at each group, there is no group of death, and the group opponents of the major giants are not very strong, and there is no big problem in qualifying from the group. Real Madrid's first group game is at 7.45pm on 18 September when they host Werder Bremen.

After the draw ceremony, Tang Jue and Baldano flew to Madrid overnight, and it was already four o'clock in the morning when they returned home. When he opened the door, the light in the bedroom was on, and Tang Jue's heart was warm. He placed the two trophies on the floor casually and walked softly into the bedroom, Alice was already asleep.

Tang Jue sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Alice who was sleeping as if he had seen a goddess. Picturesque eyebrows, long eyelashes, fair skin, thin lips pursed into a line......

Don never kissed her on the lips as he usually did. He gently turned off the light, got into the bed, and hugged Alice tenderly.

"You're back!" Alice is awake.

"Well, go to sleep." Tang Jue said softly.

Alice put her head in Tang Jue's arms and slowly fell asleep again. Tang Jue couldn't sleep for a long time, and the person in his arms turned on the light every night and waited for him to come back. The light showed him the way home and told him that someone was waiting for him at home.

This is the taste of home, warm as water, nourishing people's hearts, and a haven of quiet. When he was hungry, there were delicious meals, and when he was tired, there were hands to massage him and soothe his body. When he fights against strong enemies, there are people who stand firmly behind him and will even solve some problems with their own hands.

He suddenly had the idea of marrying Alice...... (To be continued......)
