Chapter 124 The nightmare before the war!
The weather in Milan in April has slowly become hotter. As the Champions League semi-finals between Milan and Barcelona approaches, the popularity of Milan City has increased a few degrees.
This football holy city is now a big battle. The Milanese people think that the team will defeat Barcelona. This season, Milan is almost invincible in Serie A and has almost never encountered any opponents in the Champions League. In addition to the hardships of the game with Bayern, the opponents they met are quickly defeated by their feet.
The Milanese have this confidence. In the past five seasons, they have entered the semi-finals three times, twice and once won the cup. This year, they have taken the forward killer Sheva, and welcomed the talented young man Tang Jue and the former world's number one striker Ronnie. Although Ronnie was injured, Tang Jue's sudden emergence gave them great confidence.
With the arrival of Barcelona, the temperature in Milan City rose several degrees again!
A football feast is about to be displayed in front of world fans. This is the most eye-catching team of the giants this season. Both teams have created a myth of fifteen consecutive victories in the league.
At 11:00 a.m. on the 18th, under the leadership of Rijkaard, Barcelona and his party came out of Milan International Airport. Countless flashes began to flash, and the outside of the airport passage began to boil!
Outside the airport passage, dozens of media reporters were waiting for their arrival. Countless spears and short cannons were aimed at this luxurious army, with the focus being Ronaldinho and Rijcard.
Speaking of who is the biggest star today, Ronaldinho is the number one, and winning the World Footballer for two consecutive years is proof of his. He is at the peak of his football career, and the "cow's tail swing" that fans talk about, as well as strange passes, accurate free kicks, etc., are all for describing him.
Under the flash, Ronaldinho dragged his suitcase and smiled confidently on his face and came to the fence. There was no trace of tension on his face. Rijcard also walked towards the fence. This was agreed by the club, and the two represented the club and accepted the media interview.
There were countless questions from the reporters outside the fence, throwing them at Ronaldinho like a cannon. Ronaldinho interrupted the reporter's question with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you should ask one by one, I promise to satisfy you."
A beautiful reporter asked: "What do you think about tomorrow's game? How do Barcelona plan to break through Milan's goal?"
Ronaldinho smiled and said, "Milan is a great team. They are very morale now. They just defeated Inter Milan five days ago. Tonight's game, we will play according to our own style. As for how to break through their goal, you will see it tomorrow night."
A male reporter immediately asked: "What are your expectations for the first round of the game?"
Ronaldinho tilted his head and said, "We want to score away goals, which is our goal. Of course. If we have good luck, we also hope to score three points in San Siro and take away a victory!"
On the other side, Rijkald had a relaxed face, their lineup was neat, and Xavi's early return to the team increased hope for Barcelona.
Rijkaard talked: "We are confident that we can play a great game in San Siro, and Milan is a strong team. But we never fear any opponents. We are ready and will never let the fans down."
"Milan's offense is very powerful, but we have a way to freeze Don and Kaka!"
When the reporter asked him how he planned to freeze Tang Jue and Kaka, Rijkaard did not have a clear answer, but just explained that he would know the game later.
Milan TV analyzed the words and expressions of the two in an interview with the media, believing that Barcelona is very confident and that Milan’s real test is coming!
...
However, people have good fortune and good fortune. There are unexpected situations. Just the day before the first leg of the semi-finals between Milan and Barcelona, bad news came from Milan: Milan's powerful midfielder Gattuso had to rest for a week during training, and perhaps the two teams could only play in the second round; Pirlo's foot injury recurred, and whether he could play was still to be further confirmed.
There are two major players in the midfield, one of whom is sure to be unable to play. The other one is to be decided, and the sky above Milan is shrouded in dark clouds. This is simply a thunderbolt from the sky, almost causing Milan fans to be in chaos. There is no worse news than this.
Before the war, it was a taboo for military strategists. Ancelotti was very irritable. Without Gatuso, the protection in front of the penalty area would be less, but Gatuso's absence could be replaced by others, such as Ambrosini, who could take on this important task.
But if Pirlo cannot play, it will have a great impact on Milan. Pirlo has been away for a while this season, and Milan has worked very hard at that time.
For a time, the Italian media began to slander Milan.
Milan Sports Daily believes that Milan has a bad luck. Without Gattuso and Pirlo, two midfielders, Milan lacks the defensive barrier in front of the penalty area and the midfield engine.
Roma Sports believes that Barcelona is too strong and that under tremendous pressure, Milan players are too nervous, which causes the team to lose players.
The team newspaper believes that Milan's hope of entering the finals has been greatly reduced. Barcelona's offense is sharp. Without Gattuso's barrier, the already poor defense line will definitely not be able to stop Barcelona's frontcourt Trident's attack. Without Pirlo, Milan's offense will fall into a state of unmanned command.
The British Guardian directly used the title "The God of Fate made a joke with Milan again!" and mentioned last year's Champions League final. Milan was tied by Liverpool in the first half with a three-to-zero lead and lost to Liverpool in a penalty shootout. At that time, the God of Fate was on the side of Liverpool.
This time, Milan lost troops before the game, which shows that the God of Destiny was not on Milan's side, making a big joke for Milan to enter the finals for the second consecutive year.
Some media interviewed Rijcard and what do they think about Gattuso and Pirlo's injuries. Rijcard said: "I feel very sorry for this and hope they can recover from health as soon as possible. As for tomorrow night's game, we will not relax because of their absence. Milan depends on the overall situation. The absence of both of them will have an impact on Milan's strength, but Milan is still strong and we will take it seriously!"
Unlike when he was interviewed by the media at the airport, Rijkald was very confident at that time, but now he seems a little cautious. The media interpreted Rijkald's words, believing that he was cautious, and this cautious attitude would be beneficial to tomorrow night's game. Many people do not understand why Rijkald was in this situation. Instead, they became cautious.
Milan TV expressed concerns about Rijcard's caution about Milan. Be cautious when the team is superior, such Rijcard is terrible!
The huge pressure was pressing on the Milan players, and the solidified air made them almost unable to breathe. In order to relieve the pressure on their teammates, Maldini invited all the players to their homes for a party on the evening of the 18th.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Tang Jue took Alice to the door of Maldini. Maldini and his wife brought the two into the house. Tang Jue dressed casually, but Alice was out in a gorgeous outfit, showing off her proud figure.
In the living room of fifty or sixty square meters, handsome men and beautiful women gathered, Nesta, Vieri, Kaka and others were chatting. They either brought their girlfriends or wives. Milan City really has no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women.
Just like the flower king among the flowers, Alice's appearance quickly became the focus of the party. Everyone's eyes were quickly conquered by Alice's beauty, and Tang Jue, who was beside Alice, was almost ignored by everyone. Tang Jue could only smile and shake his head. With such a beautiful girlfriend, he could only be ignored.
The beauties naturally gathered together, talking about fashion and perfume, and handsome men gathered together, holding red wine glasses in their hands, talking about the coming war.
Kaka shook his head and sighed: "Gatuso's absence will have a great impact on us. If Pirlo cannot play, I don't know we should play this game like this."
Everyone was in a heavy and helpless mood, and they felt like a huge rock was pressing on their hearts. The powerful Barcelona was the huge rock. What was helpless was that they could have competed with Barcelona, but now the two generals lost their losses, which had a great impact on Milan's strength.
Nesta exhaled a long breath and frowned and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we will fight!"
There was a smell of an iron-blooded warrior in the words, and the blood in the players' blood began to surge strongly. Yes, even if Milan died, she would still die while standing!
Maldini said: "Miracles will always only be attached to those who will never give up. We cannot give up. There is never the word "give" in the dictionary of Milan!"
He looked at Tang Jue and said, "Tang. What do you think?"
As the game progressed, Tang Jue proved himself with a goal, and what followed was his status in the team also increased. As the team's number one scorer, his condition or attitude has a certain impact on the team.
Tang Jue looked at Maldini and said, "The enemy is very powerful, but we have no reason to retreat. Since we stood on the green field, I have been telling myself that the stadium is the battlefield and the opponent is the enemy. Only by fighting hard on the battlefield can we survive and win."
"Barcelona is a mountain, we have to grit our teeth and climb over; Barcelona is a sea, we have to ride a boat and cross it. Even if the teeth are broken, we swallow it and continue moving forward; even if the boat is broken, we have to swim over even if we swim!"
The Milan player can do it, but if the ship is broken, it will be too difficult to swim across a sea. Now that Milan's ship is damaged, it is very likely to be sunk by a storm in Barcelona's sea. Tang Jue's view is that he must swim over even if he swims.
This is helpless, but it is also full of strong smell.
Sidorf wanted to break the slightly heavy atmosphere and said with a smile: "Brothers, it's just a game. We have gone through so many hardships this season and have survived them all, and we will survive tomorrow."
"The God of Destiny is on our side!"
Yes, the only thing I can pray for now is the God of Destiny, who can stand on the side of Milan. Seidorf's words did not make the atmosphere relaxed. In this case, it is completely impossible to make Milan players relax.
