The Ball at Your Feet

Updated: 2013-06-18

"Hey, Paul!"

Maldini, who walked into Milanello, heard a familiar greeting, his first reaction was to walk backwards.

"Paul, don't be so indifferent to your coach!" The man who was catching up from behind had already stopped him, and Maldini turned his head helplessly, "What's the matter, Carlo?"

"I made creamy pasta. Would you like to try it? Put a delicious sausage..."

"Morning? Spaghetti? Butter? Sausage?" Maldini sighed, "Carlo, you can't get fat anymore... and you are also an athlete. You should understand that I can't eat this kind of thing. I'm the captain." , Must lead by example."

"Oh, what's the matter! I am your coach, I let you eat, you can eat a little." Ancelotti's chubby face, with a smile on his face, "Come on, taste Come on, you won't regret it."

"I'm pretty sure he won't regret it, but I think you might regret it."

Another voice came, making Ancelotti's smile froze, and Maldini took the opportunity to leave, and when Ancelotti turned his head, he saw Galliani's big bald head.

"Carlo, I have to say, I am grateful to you, you have made Milanello's recipes very good. When Trim was here, the food here was a nightmare... But, Carlo, I hope you understand. Not every player, like you, aims to become a gourmet. What you should show them is the tactical board, not the Michelin guide."

"I just want to share some good things with everyone." Ancelotti said, "And, haven't you heard the good news?"

"You mean the news that you finally made up your mind to resign? I haven't heard, but I look forward to it day and night..."

Knowing this guy's sharp teeth and bad stomach, Ancelotti can only smile helplessly, "I'm talking about Liverpool defeating Chelsea to advance."

"You mean, you regard the fact that you are about to meet that two-round double-kill Juventus team as a good thing... Carlo, are you really not going to make me happy by resigning? "

Ancelotti was really upset this time, "I have a reason to say this, not nonsense."

"why?"

"Because Liverpool has fewer players on the bench and their chances of change are small, so we have a greater chance of winning."

These words of self-confidence, but without discipline, just make Galliani's face even more uncomfortable, "If a coach with self-esteem knows that he will not change, he will learn how to change. ...Speaking of which you have been called the gospel of the lower Serie A team, don't you have a sense of it?"

"Yes, so I avoid playing with good substitute teams... And, do you really have to put all the responsibility on me? A team manager with self-esteem will not leave the coach with no one to replace. Even in order to strengthen the offense, you can only send a full-back, right?"

Galliani looked around for a while, and then said, "Let's talk about the Champions League final... How much hope do you have to win the game?"

Galliani changed the subject and asked Ancelotti to roll his eyes, but the question he raised caused Ancelotti to hesitate before speaking, "I really want to say that I will win 100%, but you know, That's a lie. Football is round and everything can happen. Saying something like winning before the game is a contempt for football. I can only say that if we do everything to our best and not in the game If something unexpected happens, we will win."

"You are also a champion coach anyway, can't you be a little domineering?" Galliani said.

"If I am domineering, as a champion coach, I will go to Mr. Berlusconi to ask for all the transfer rights and let him fire the team manager. I will take over the power myself..."

"Just a Champions League champion and a league champion want to fight for power with me? Domineering also needs to be divided into objects..."

After losing a few words to each other, Galliani said, "After the game, we have no money to sign up this summer. Both Sheva and Kaka need to renew their contracts, which is another large sum of money. We have no extra money. It’s money, Hernan, we probably won’t be able to keep it. You can plan for the next season."

These words made Ancelotti's face a lot bitter. "Sometimes I feel that resignation will not only make you happy, but I will also be very happy... Does Mr. Berlusconi want to invest in Milan?"

"Agnelli is dead." Galliani said suddenly and without end. Before Ancelotti could react, Galliani spoke again, "The rules of the game in this league have changed. Carlo, the rules of the league are going to change, a big change. At this time, you have to understand the ball. The idea of ​​the team."

What big changes can be made? Ancelotti wanted to ask, but he knew that the answer was definitely not what he wanted to hear. He couldn't manage the affairs of Galliani and Moggi's field, and he didn't want to.

It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, no matter how the rules change, in the end, don't they have to be kicked? As long as you can play well, what are you afraid of?

Two days have passed since the Champions League semi-finals, and the whole Liverpool team is still immersed in an atmosphere of joy. What can be more pleasant than an unexpected promotion?

"I sincerely feel the great power of Anfield, but this power is added to the referee!"

After Mourinho's complaints, Liverpool didn't bother to pay attention to it. This kind of time is when they are celebrating, and they don't care about all the nonsense. As a winner, is it necessary to listen to the cry of the loser?

"We also sincerely felt the specialness of coach Mourinho, but it was at the press conference after the game-the coach who blames the referee every time he loses is the most special one. ."

Zhao Yaning also answered what he said. He didn't bother to care about whether Mourinho would be **** to death. In fact, if Mourinho really resigned, it would be a good thing, at least, his ears were clean.

No one else said anything about it. After returning to the finals after a lapse of 20 years, Liverpool has not enough time to celebrate. Where can there be time to pay attention to what others say?

"I think before the start of the season, no one expected such a result. Before the start of the season, I was thinking that this year we should be able to get the fourth name in the league, and then get a good League Cup and football. The rounds of the FA Cup, and finally, entered the knockout rounds in the Champions League. If you are lucky, you can enter the quarter-finals, so that's OK. But this season, our results are beyond imagination. League Cup champions... well, It was just a tasteless event, no one cared. Third in the league, overwhelming Manchester United-well, anyway, third and fourth have to play in the play-offs. But, tickets to the Champions League final! Who can think of such a thing Here!"

"A year ago, a man who we regarded as a leader left Liverpool. When he left us, he said: He is going to a bigger club, pursuing honor, and winning the Champions League. But now, we can proudly tell He: On the stadium in Istanbul, the team that appeared, wears red. And that guy, what he can do now is sit on the bench in Madrid. However, by May 24th, I will still buy him one. The ticket was sent to the past. This is the best script. How can it be done without him as an audience?"

In the "Liverpool Echo", Dalglish made his own evaluation. Everyone knows who he is talking about. When Michael Owen was regarded as Dalglish's successor, Dalglish also liked him very much. And now, after he left, Dalglish hated him the most.

In this regard, Irving, who was interviewed by the Daily Mirror, said that it doesn’t matter, “I’m very happy that Liverpool have such good luck...I will go to the scene to watch the game, I will cheer for Liverpool, although I don’t think Liverpool has such good luck. Hope to win. Milan are strong and perfect, they are unlikely to lose."

"When we played against Bayer Leverkusen, against Juventus, against Chelsea, people said the same: the opponent is strong, we are unlikely to win. But now, we are in Istanbul, and Those strong teams can only watch the game on the TV. Liverpool is not afraid of strong opponents. As long as we are together and play hard, we can win." Zhao Yaning responded to this in an interview, "Owen does not I am not surprised to understand this. If he understands, he will not leave Liverpool. The players here are people with self-confidence and self-esteem. For us, the Champions League is not unimaginable. The Champions League is strong. Games, losers like him cannot understand this level of competition."

This kind of words pushed back, and Owen shut up. At this time, the media also noticed another thing, "Zhao Yaning may become the third player to defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League in 1992."

Since 1992, there has not been a defending team in the Champions League. Therefore, few players in the Champions League can defend the title. Before this, only two people had done it. One is Desailly, who won twice in Marseille in 1993 and Milan in 1994, and the other is Paul Sosa, who won the Champions League at Juventus in 1996 and Dortmund in 1997. champion.

But there are still differences between Zhao Yaning and them. In 1993, the Marseille champion defeated Milan. In 1997, Dortmund, the Champions League champions also defeated Juventus ~www.ltnovel.com~ These teams were originally a Champions League level match.

When Monaco won the championship last year, Liverpool did not enter the Champions League; while Liverpool entered the final, Monaco's top sixteen this year, Zhao Yaning's two teams were promoted miraculously.

"If you can really win the Champions League, I bet that Zhao Yaning will have a good place in the Golden Globes rankings this year."

The newspaper also made inferences about this, but Zhao Yaning himself really felt that it was not very reliable: last year he did not win the triple crown, and this year is even more impossible. Not to mention anything else, this year's Ronaldinho's performance made Zhao Yaning feel amazing. He said he could beat Ronaldinho. He said he didn't believe in anything-even if he voted for himself, he voted for Ronaldinho.

"Now, the most important thing is the victory of the game. Some of those things are time thinking, but now, thinking about how to win is important."

In a 37-round league match that just ended, Manchester United lost to Chelsea, and the point difference with Liverpool was set at 3 points. Although they won the 33rd round of the make-up match, Liverpool's 37th round has not yet started. It is estimated that in this case, Manchester United is also unable to catch up with Liverpool.

But the bad news is that in the last round, Arsenal had problems with Henry's injury, but in the game against Everton they achieved a 7-0 victory, which was four points away from Liverpool. Points, even if Liverpool can win them, they have to look forward to their last defeat before Liverpool can catch up.

However, at this time, the only thing that can be regarded as good news is this game, Henry is sure that he can't make a comeback.

Since Highbury has no master, can we win a victory?
