Chapter 140: The competition between the football of two countries!
Milan Sport took advantage of what the Spanish media had said before the match and began to fight back. This match has long gone beyond the realm of two clubs and is a collision of two national footballs.
Tang Jue and Ronaldinho's completely different performances tonight gave the Italian media a chance to fight back. They even thanked the Spanish media in their hearts that they were shooting themselves in the foot!
Rijkaard's face turned ugly, and he said into the microphone: "Ronaldinho's performance tonight was very good for most of the time. It's normal for a lot of players to be out of shape under intense pressure. I won't name them all here. β
He said: "I believe in him, back at Camp Nou, he will definitely give the fans a great game. As far as tonight's game is concerned, he was actually very good before the penalty, with a number of dangerous passes. Even at the beginning of the game, he almost broke the opponent's goal with a direct free kick. β
'We can't deny a great player just because of a penalty, it's not fair!'
Rijkaard has to defend his players in front of the media, and he is a manager who deals with the media very well. As a player, he was a great midfielder and dealt with the media on many occasions. After becoming the manager of Barcelona, he is even more comfortable.
He used facts to show that Ronaldinho's game can be described as angels and devils. Ronaldinho was an angel before the penalty and he showed what he was capable of. After the penalty kick, he was the devil and fell into the devil.
How could the Italian media let him go so easily. The reporter from Roma Sport asked: "Looking at the historical record, Milan have the upper hand and tonight proved once again that Milan have never been afraid of the Spanish team. What are your thoughts on this? β
Rijkaard suddenly remembered a sentence and said: "I once heard someone say something like this: 'History is unreliable, records are meant to be broken!'" βγ That's how I see it. β
Rijkaard thinks this sentence is too classic and domineering. The reporters of the Italian media suddenly laughed weirdly, and the faces of the Spanish media began to turn red. Rijkaard looked at the reporters in the audience in confusion, is there something wrong with this sentence? How is that possible?
So what are they laughing at?
The reporter of the team newspaper exclaimed: "This sentence was said by Don before the match against Lyon. β
I see!
Rijkaard's face began to redden, and he was a little embarrassed. However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and said with a smile: "Tang's words are very good. I love it! β
Rijkaard just said that he liked what Don Jue said. The reporter of the team newspaper asked, "So, Mr. Rijkaard, what do you think of Don as a person, and you like what he says?" Do you like him as a person? β
Rijkaard thought for a moment and said: "He's a good player. If I wasn't the manager of Barcelona. I'm going to love him. β
This was interpreted by the media as he actually likes Tang Jue, but he is hindered by his role as the coach of Barcelona. The Italian media made a big fuss about it, saying that Rijkaard still had the Milan plot in mind. After all, he spent his most illustrious career here.
The Spanish media implicitly criticized Rijkaard, arguing that his language was inappropriate. Rijkaard was furious at the distorted reports in the Spanish and Italian media, and what made him even angrier was that Laporta had also asked him about the issue, hoping that he would be cautious in future press conferences.
This paved the way for Rijkaard to leave Barca, and the rift between Rijkaard and Laporta began to form. In Rijkaard's view, at such a critical time, as the president of the club, Laporta should believe in him, not to believe the media reports, and should give him encouragement.
Now not only does he not encourage, but he also criticizes him, how can this not make him angry.
β¦β¦
Rijkaard leaves the press conference and Carlo Ancelotti comes on. His face was filled with joy after the victory.
Ancelotti spoke into the microphone and said: "This match, which the media has dubbed 'the battle for the top', is finally over, and with the joint efforts of both of us, we have delivered a great game for the fans of the world. We had the last laugh! β
'BarΓ§a are strong, really strong. You can see that in the game, they are balanced in attack and defense, and they are very strong. But tonight we were the last winners! β
His words have been making it clear that Milan are the victors tonight, with a win over the mighty Barcelona and a manager like Carlo Ancelotti, who is known for his steadiness, is not calm.
'Don was a great player tonight, he was a great player and he showed dominance, which is gratifying. He won this match and won the hearts of the fans in the world, and I am sure that after this match, his fans will increase a lot! β
Ancelotti smiled and said: "He is the darling of San Siro!" β
After praising Tang Jue, Ancelotti praised the other players. Anyway, in his eyes, the Milan players were doing well tonight.
In the question session, Marca had to fight back, and before that, Rijkaard had been attacked by the Italian media. Although they are a pro-Real Madrid newspaper, this match has long gone beyond the confines of clubs and is a duel between two national footballers.
"Mr. Ancelotti, first of all, congratulations to Milan on their victory tonight."
Ancelotti's brow furrowed as soon as he heard this, because after "first", it was usually a cannonball.
"Tonight, if it hadn't been for the post blocking Ronaldinho's free-kick, Barcelona would have taken the lead. If that's the case, the final outcome of this game is unknown. Also, Nesta brought Samuel Eto'o down in the box and awarded Barcelona a penalty, does that mean there is still a problem with Milan's backline, which you didn't just mention! β
Ancelotti exhaled a long breath into the microphone and said: "There are no ifs and ifs in football, and the past cannot be repeated." We also had a shot on the post in this game and God is fair. He doesn't favor any one person. Milan's victory came from working with us, and it was not a fluke, it was an inevitable result. β
'Speaking of the problem at the back, I admit we still have problems and that's what we're working on now. But don't you see our progress? Tonight, they helped defend several times to reduce the number of holes. We will get better and stronger! β
The next day, the Spanish media interpreted it, saying in their report: "Carlo Ancelotti admits to Milan's problems at the back. This is where BarΓ§a's hope lies. β
And the Italian media thinks Ancelotti is in front of the media. Acknowledging the problems at the back is the temperament that a great coach should show: not shy away from any problems and face difficulties head-on!
The Italian press, of course, was very happy with the victory, and so were the questions they asked. The reporter of the Milan sports newspaper asked: "Mr. Ancelotti." There are media reports that Ronnie is now undergoing recovery training. Can you tell us about his current situation? β
Before this game. Milan announced through their official website that Ronny is about to undergo recovery training. At the time, the Spanish press believed that it was Milan's attempt to boost morale. Deliberately fabricated information. They had good reasons to prove their point, not to mention anything else, when Ronnie had undergone surgery, Milan officials announced that it would take five months for Ronnie to recover.
It's only been a little over a month, and Ronnie has been able to carry out recovery training, could it be that the chief surgeon made a mistake in his judgment? How is this possible!
Could it be that there are really miracles in this world?
This is complete nonsense!
The Italian media revived the old story with the aim of cracking down on the Spanish media. Ancelotti didn't know the purpose of the Milan sports newspaper, and he said with a smile: "That's right, he started recovery training yesterday. The strength and conditioning coach told me that Ronnie is recovering very well and that he is recovering. It won't be long before you'll see a healthy Ronnie running around the ring! β
Ancelotti made a sudden decision, he said: "Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, we will open Ronnie's training, you can go and watch it live!" β
Carlo Ancelotti believes Gagliari will agree to do so, after all, it will be good for the club to fight back against the Spanish media. At the same time, it will also make the fans who like Ronnie in the whole world happy. The more things like this, the better!
The Italian and Spanish media went toe-to-toe, and the neutral team reporter asked: "Mr. Ancelotti, Milan's victory tonight is a happy thing for fans who like Milan." However, Milan have a second leg at Camp Nou, what are your prospects for the second leg? β
Ancelotti thought for a moment and said seriously: "I won't say here that we are going to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou. Back at Camp Nou, Barcelona will be even stronger. As for the game, I hope we can score away goals. β
The next day, the media interpreted his remark, and the Spanish media believed that Ancelotti's remarks showed that he had no confidence in his backline. Only the strikers can score goals, hoping to surpass Barcelona in aggregate and then advance to the final.
The Italian media believe Carlo Ancelotti has faith in his forward line and wants Milan fans to see the goal at Camp Nou.
A reporter from the German Kicker magazine asked: "Mr. Rijkaard, in his remarks, had an opinion on Milan's approach to the last fifteen minutes, and that Milan did not reflect the demeanor of a strong team at that time. What are your thoughts on this? β
The corners of Ancelotti's mouth turned up, showing a faint smile, and said: "He has spent so many years in Milan, doesn't he know about Italian football?" Italian football is pragmatism, and that's right, which is why Italian football has won the World Cup three times. β
"Practical and gorgeous, Italian football takes a different path than Spanish football, but it is an indisputable fact that Italian football is better than Spanish football in terms of historical results!"
Ancelotti did not expect his words, which once again caused a battle between the media of the two countries. His words completely offended the whole of Spain.
The Italian media can only speak with the historical record of the national team, and the Spanish media can only speak with the results of the accumulated horses on the European battlefield, Real Madrid is the club that has won the most Champions Leagues. (To be continued......)
