Chapter 317: He's a Legend
"It's a tragedy." The game is over. Mourinho's look is still serious.
"Manchester United had some backs today. But all this is self-inflicted. Kaka is still that Kaka. Next game. We're going to get tougher. Everyone knows that today's Chen Haonan is not the Chen Haonan of the past. Because he's not in good health."
That's pretty modest. It's a rare sight.
"But the saddest day of the day today was not because we drew with AC Milan. Rather, Ryan decided to retire today. I'm pretty sorry for replacing him today. It was also an honour to work with him at the end of his career. He's a legend."
Giggs had run back to the dressing room early. Now it has appeared in the post-match press conference in a straight suit. There was no anger before. Some are just calm.
Earlier on the pitch he scolded Jose Mourinho. Now I have a tight hug with him. After taking the microphone handed by Mourinho. He sat down in his chair. Didn't speak immediately.
To say leave. It's too hard......
Even if he is already a forty-four-year-old man. An old guy who can be a grandfather.
It was already quite sad for the fans and the media. It's even sadder now. You can't imagine a Premier League without Ryan Giggs.
But it will all come eventually.
What about a tie. There's never one more Ryan? Ryan Giggs.
A legend is gone. Another old saga continues.
Today's protagonists belong only to Giggs and Kaka.
"He's a legend." Kaka in an interview with the English media. Also four great words. He didn't get into his performance today. Instead, continue to praise Giggs.
"Ryan's name could be tied with any legend in football. He's my idol. I wish I could play like this to him until I'm forty-four. But everybody knows. Almost impossible. I'm surprised he's still at a high level at this time. I have to pay him the highest respect."
"Ryan went off in the first minute. A big part of it was because Chen Haonan suddenly started the game and your subsequent goal destroyed Manchester United's hopes. Do you feel guilty?" The media's question smacks of fanning the flames. It means that Ryan's retirement performance has ruined Chen Haonan and Kaka. The two of them have great responsibilities.
"Uh...... I think you have to ask Chen Haonan about this question. After all, the tactics are all about him and then around. Ahem. Joke. What I really want to say is. This should be entirely out of Jose's tactical needs. If Ryan doesn't matter. Will he start at the start. Same. Because of the importance of Chen Haonan. So José made another decision. Although this decision is uncommon. But we're all trying to contribute to the team, aren't we." Kaka said a whole bunch of incoherent words. Try to be as tactful as possible.
This was replaced by Jose Mourinho. It's not him. How can you feel guilty. It's just that everyone is sad.
Football evergreen, living fossil Ryan? Ryan Giggs. On February 10, 2017, at the age of 44, he finally retired from football.
The one who started it all. In what people said later. It's all because of Chen Haonan......
The game. The best player is Kaka. But the main character is Ryan Giggs. Even if he only played for a minute. This is the final performance of the Manchester United legend.
There won't be only one legend in football. And Kaka's saga continues.
A farce. It turned into a tragedy. Milan said goodbye to England. Returned to Italy.
When everything is back to normal. Expectations for AC Milan are starting again.
Chen Haonan since that low-grade fever. The body seems to be getting better again. Once again, no one in the league was able to stop their pace. Next up for a home game against Manchester United. He didn't live up to everyone's hopes. Joined forces with Kaka to send Manchester United back to England.
AC Milan is exactly as predicted. Entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Kaka seems to have a second spring in his career. The last few games have been quite impressive. And with the addition of Andres Iniesta. The Milan midfield is really strong. Just as at the end of his career. Joined AC Milan in '07. Help Milan finish third in the league. It alleviates their worries. The team was able to go all out for the Champions League that season. And in the end, it won. And this season. More or less similar......
It's strange to say. Since the two games against Manchester United. Chen Haonan didn't have so many reporters around him. But Chen Haonan always thought that Mourinho did it. There's just no real evidence to prove it. Meantime. Giggs' retirement also gave him a feeling of sympathy. I didn't pursue it again. His life also became peaceful again.
It's just that. Calm leisure. He also found that his body didn't seem to be as good as it used to be.
Could it all be because I was trapped in the maze that day?
I thought that the low-grade fever was just an accident. Also played a good ball for more than two weeks. Only later came a low-grade fever again. It made him much more vigilant.
This thing can't be AIDS-related. The first thing that came to his mind was this disease.
It is said that AIDS is often a low-grade fever that does not go away. He missed the league again that week. Milan are still not much of a danger in the league. Not to mention that the team is 8 points ahead of Napoli. 10 points ahead of third-placed Juventus.
I'm still worried about the next quarterfinals. The opponent in the quarterfinals was replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo's Paris Saint-Germain.
Defeat the most arrogant coach first. Fight again against the strongest opponents.
Last year's champion Paris Saint-Germain. Fellow Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano? Ronaldo.
Chen Haonan is walking an unusual path. His opponents. It's all the best in football. He never seemed to be able to get rid of the time when he fought the strongest.
At the same time, the 2018 World Cup South American qualifiers are back in the game, so to speak, and all the important matches are coming one after another.
The Brazilian team did not have a good record in the qualifiers. Still holding in the fifth position. A little careless. You may fall out of the qualifying places. And the fifth place has to participate in the play-offs. Although there are still four games. But that's a bit too mysterious. The last time the situation was so precarious. It was 2001. Brazil won the Hercules Cup the following year. This time. And how similar.
Chen Haonan's physical state. It also caught the attention of AC Milan and the Brazilian Football Federation.
The doctors of the two teams assembled in the city of Milan. I am ready to discuss Chen Haonan's condition together......
