Chapter 549
Arriving in Milan two days in advance, Manchester City certainly did not come for vacation and to enjoy the scenery of Milan.
After packing their bags at the hotel.
Stuart took the Manchester City players on the player bus and arrived at Inter Milan's training base after an hour's drive.
Yes, that's right.
As AC Milan's mortal enemy, when Inter Milan's management learned that Manchester City wanted to rent the stadium of Inter Milan's training base as a temporary training venue.
Not only did they agree.
They even repeatedly assured Stuart that they would do a good job of managing strangers at the base.
"Stuart, don't worry!"
"Even if it's a mosquito from AC Milan, don't even think about flying in!"
"Create a 100% secret training environment for your team."
The person who received the entire Manchester City team was Alessandro, the base director of Inter Milan's training base.
He was friendly and extremely enthusiastic.
He took the Manchester City players to the agreed stadium, and when they parted, he raised his fist to cheer Manchester City.
"Come on! Manchester City!"
"You have more than just Manchester City fans behind you!"
"There are also Inter Milan and all Inter Milan fans!!"
After Alessandro left, the Manchester City players couldn't help but burst into laughter. Modric, who didn't know much about the dispute between AC Milan and Inter Milan, couldn't help but ask Su Fei the reason.
Su Fei summarized the relationship between AC Milan and Inter Milan in the simplest words.
"The conflict and hatred between their two teams is much greater than that between us and Manchester United."
Modric suddenly realized.
As a traditional giant in Serie A, Inter Milan has done a good job in basic supporting facilities, even better than Manchester City.
But the Manchester City players had no intention of comparing.
They soon immersed themselves in training.
4-2-3-1 is the team's new formation after all.
Especially in terms of offensive and defensive running positions, and everyone's activity area, it still takes time to adapt.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The team training match started right after the individual special training, and the football flew around the field.
Stuart stood by the field.
He kept reminding people.
"Knight, you went too deep!"
"Speed up the coordination, Gareth!"
"Pass it!"
"Beautiful!! Antonio, you are getting better and better!"
...................................................
When the whole Manchester City team was immersed in training, in a corner where no one paid attention.
An old man with a messy haircut and frameless glasses.
He was looking at the green field with a fiery look.
Looking at the tall Manchester City No. 9 on the green field.
This man was Inter Milan Chairman Massimo Moratti.
Last summer.
Moratti communicated with Manchester City several times and was willing to bring Su Fei to Inter Milan at all costs.
But in return, Manchester City rejected him again and again.
After pursuing Su Fei to no avail.
Moratti went to Barcelona to ask for Messi's price again, but even if they were willing to pay a penalty of 100 million yuan, they would not let him go.
Although this season, Inter Milan still successfully topped the Serie A with an unbeatable record of 30 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss.
But the team's performance in the Champions League was not as good as Moratti wished.
In the round of 16, the score was 2:2 to Valencia. Because of the disadvantage of away goals, they were eliminated early and lost the opportunity to compete for the Champions League title.
This also made Moratti feel uneasy.
He believed that the team still needed a stronger center forward who could seize the goal in the tense game and help the team break the deadlock.
Su Fei.
Always the only choice in Moratti's mind.
Or.
Since seeing Su Fei score 55 goals in a single season last season, it has become a ray of obsession in Moratti's heart.
If such a super striker.
came to Inter Milan.
Inter Milan can definitely completely dominate Serie A, trample AC Milan underfoot, and realize the dream of the top of Europe.
In fact.
This is also the reason why Moratti agreed immediately after learning that Manchester City wanted to rent the venue.
That is to brush up the favorability and presence on Su Fei's side.
So this summer.
When contacting Su Fei, Su Fei should also give some face and give a chance to communicate.
Since Manchester City can't handle it.
Then start from Su Fei's side. As long as Su Fei wants to leave, won't Manchester City let him go!
Liquidated damages?
Moratti has never considered that issue at all.
For Messi.
He is willing to return 100 million, for Su Fei, no more is too much.
Because everyone knows.
This 18-year-old kid will become the one who dominates football for at least ten years in the future
...........................................................
On May 2, while Manchester City was secretly training, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Manchester United and Chelsea was the first to be announced.
This was a match that attracted worldwide attention, although Chelsea was trailing 1:3 in the first leg.
But everyone knew that Chelsea, which pioneered the era of Premier League football and topped the Premier League in the 2004-05 season, definitely had the possibility of a comeback.
And the course of the game was indeed full of ups and downs and excitement.
Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford.
In the 7th minute of the game. Lampard made a straight pass, penetrating Manchester United's defense. Drogba, who violently pushed the opponent away and successfully received the ball, got a single shot and sent a heavy cannon into the penalty area, helping Chelsea to get back a point, which added suspense to the game from the start.
Manchester United (3) 0:1 (2) Chelsea.
In the 43rd minute of the game. Manchester United, who had always maintained an aggressive offensive style, quickly counterattacked. Rooney received Carrick's long pass from the counterattack in the middle circle, dribbled the ball in the middle, passed the ball in front of the goal, and Ronaldo scored a goal, lighting up Old Trafford.
Manchester United (4) 1:1 (2) Chelsea.
Just when the Red Devils fans thought that the team had firmly secured a place in the final, Chelsea became more and more courageous in the second half, and the iron-blooded Blues showed amazing resilience.
In the 53rd minute of the game. Robben broke through the wing, cut inside into the penalty area, and shot into the near corner to complete the goal.
In the 59th minute of the game. Chelsea's offensive resumed. From the right corner kick, Drogba headed in the penalty area and scored twice, helping Chelsea to truly equalize the score.
Manchester United (4) 1:3 (4) Chelsea.
Not only did the two teams have the same number of goals, but the number of away goals was also the same. Until the end of regular time, the two teams were still tied.
No one expected.
Manchester United, which had a big advantage, would be dragged into overtime by Chelsea.
And the key is.
Overtime goals will also count away goals. If Chelsea scores 1 goal, then Manchester United needs to score 2 goals to win the game.
In the case of the same goal.
Then Chelsea will win.
Under such a premise, Manchester United decisively adopted the main defense tactic in overtime. Chelsea, who was dragged into overtime, became more and more courageous and created several threatening shooting opportunities.
But no one expected it.
Manchester United, who was under pressure, responded to a counterattack with a long pass from Scholes in the 3rd minute before the end of overtime.
Ronaldo received the ball in the frontcourt.
With his physical strength at the bottom, he performed a miraculous midfield burst and got rid of all Chelsea's chasing players.
Facing Cech one-on-one, he completed a lob shot and killed the opponent! !
Manchester United finally withstood the huge pressure and held the victory that was originally firmly grasped in their hands.
Ronaldo became the hero of Old Trafford, and Manchester United successfully advanced to the Champions League final.
