Chapter 566 The Answer of Volume [-] Storm Confidence

Tang En's ups and downs at the airport made him the headline figure again.The Italian media denounced this person as lacking in basic manners, grandstanding, wanting to be famous and crazy.The reason why they were so angry was that Twain treated AC Milan and the Italian media as air at the airport, which made some people very upset.

The English media excitedly described Tang En's "heroic appearance" at the airport in detail over and over again, and photos of Tang En standing in front of the fan group and speaking frequently appeared in newspapers.

This was no longer an act of whim by Tang En alone. This was a confrontation between the media of England and Italy. They had long disliked each other.

Of course, Dunn did not do this to provide material for the war of words to the media of the two countries. His perverse actions were actually aimed at the AC Milan team.This can be regarded as part of the psychological warfare before the game.

Sure enough, some people in AC Milan expressed dissatisfaction with Twain's arrogant and arrogant behavior.

In the subsequent interview, AC Milan's head coach Carlo Ancelotti said that he could not understand Twain's thoughts, and he seemed to be lacking in courtesy to anyone.Then he talked about the final, "We have won the European Champions Cup six times, and we have a lot of experience in winning the championship. I have also led the team to win the European Champions Cup once. I am very confident. But I really I can't understand where Mr. Tang En's confidence in declaring that he will win the championship over and over again comes from."

Later, AC Milan players were interviewed about this matter.

"Nottingham Forest? That's what they said last season, right? I'm sure I'll win some championship, what's the result?" Gattuso was not polite at all, but it fit his tough style on the court. "I think this kind of thing is boring. No matter how loud you shout, the real champion will always be decided in the game. If you can't beat us, it's useless for him to say it many times. If someone says the number of times the champion says If you can win the championship, I can say it a hundred times a day." Gattuso laughed, and the reporters also laughed.

AC Milan is a club that pays great attention to its image. Generally, players will not be allowed to express their opinions at will, especially for such sensitive issues.Only Gattuso was outspoken and expressed his true inner thoughts in front of the reporters, while others were vague and prevaricated when they were interviewed.

Kaka is the person who is asked the most. Who made him show off at the airport just now?Although his limelight was later overshadowed by Tang En, the reporters wanted to hear Kaka's evaluation of the head coach.

"...I don't know how to say it. I don't know him, and I haven't played under him. If you want me to judge him, I can only say that I don't know anything. ... That thing? Oh, he I just want to leave the exit early, it's normal, what's wrong?"

Like AC Milan, Kaka pays great attention to personal image. He never speaks to death, and never easily offends anyone.So regarding Tang En's evaluation, his answer disappointed the media.

"Then how do you feel about having such a person as your head coach?" A bold reporter suddenly asked.

Kaka was caught off guard by this question, and he was stunned for a while, not sure if he was completely in a daze, or if he was really thinking about the answer to this question.Then he shook his head: "I don't know." Perhaps seeing the disappointment in the reporters' eyes, he added: "I've never worked with a manager like this, so I don't know what it would be like."

He ended the brief interview with one of his trademark sunny smiles.

The reporters looked at his back and expressed their disappointment.

"Compared with them, I still prefer to interview people from the Forest team..." the England reporter complained, "At least they dare to say anything."

"Dare to say anything? What if you cause any trouble to the team and the club because of your nonsense?" Some Italian reporters expressed doubts and disdain for the English reporter's statement.

A group of English people laughed, "What are you afraid of? That fellow Tony Twain will wipe their butts! All Nottingham Forest players think so."

※ ※ ※

As if to verify the statements of these English reporters, shortly after the AC Milan team left the Olympic Stadium, the bus of the Nottingham Forest team slowly drove up, and it was their turn to adapt to the venue.

When the car came to a complete stop, the reporters rushed up and surrounded the door, preparing to interview the people who got off the car.

The first one to jump off was not the head coach of the team, but their assistant coach Tang.

For this Chinese, the English reporters knew that he was taciturn, so no one went up to interview him.Tang En looked up at the reporters around him with indifferent eyes.Tang Jing waved to him from a distance, and he saw it.

"I won't bother you now, remember your promise! Give me an exclusive interview then!" Tang Jing shouted in Chinese, Tang nodded and squeezed out of the reporter's encirclement.

Then came out the Forest players.

In twos and threes, the shoulders and backs are crossed, not as if they are here to adapt to the venue, but as if they are coming to a restaurant.

A reporter stopped them, wanting to hear their views on the final.

"Need to say? Champions! We must be champions!" the gypsy Eastwood yelled loudly while raising his hands in a "victory" gesture, while Ribery behind him stuck out his tongue and made a face.

Amidst the loud laughter, the group of people walked out.

The English journalists were not surprised by their behavior and had long been used to it.The Italian media shook their heads, thinking that this unknown guy is really messing up, how dare the Welsh national team make such wild remarks?They were delighted to see Van Nistelrooy get out of the car.This person should be able to answer their questions seriously, right?
An Italian reporter asked Van Nistelrooy in broken English: "Luther, what do you think of tomorrow's final?"

The answer prepared in many people's minds in advance is: "AC Milan is a strong team, and we will go all out to win." It not only shows full respect for the opponent, but also shows confidence in one's own strength, how wonderful...

"Champion, thank you." The Dutch striker smiled and raised two fingers to the Italian reporters, and then left here under the stunned expression of the other side.

Well, thought the Italian journalists.Luther van Nistelrooy lacked a European Champions Cup in his club career. It is understandable that he is so eager for the championship...

Dmitrio Albertini jumped out of the car, and the Italian journalists became excited when they saw him. Their old acquaintance came.This person is well-known in the circle of Italian players and the media, so if you have any questions, you can definitely ask him.

A group of people rushed forward, handing over microphones, mobile phones, and recording pens one after another.

"Demi! Demi!" they shouted in Italian. "Answer a few questions, it won't take up too much of your time!"

When Albertini heard the familiar accent, he stopped and stood in front of the reporters.

"Oh, it's you guys." There were several familiar faces among the reporters.

"First of all, congratulations on reaching the final of the Champions Cup again. It is amazing to be able to reach the final for two consecutive years!" Some Italian reporters gave a thumbs up.

"Are you praising our head coach? I am not the only one who made it to the final." Albertini said with a smile, but made the reporters a little embarrassed.Because what he said was right, entering the finals is definitely not the ability of Demi alone. If rewards are based on merit, Twain should be credited with the first.I wanted to flatter Albertini, but I didn't expect it to be a compliment to Tony Twain. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

"Let's talk about the finals. You will retire after this game..." a reporter asked with a cough, breaking the embarrassment.

Albertini nodded: "Yes, originally I decided to retire after the end of last season, but Twain kept me and hoped that I would play for another year. I was hesitant at the time, but now it seems that staying is the right thing to do. Being able to reach the final of the Champions League again is not something that every professional player can enjoy.” When Albertini was in AC Milan, he helped the team reach the final of the Champions Cup three times in five years and won two Championship trophy.Everyone knows the later story. He was ruthlessly abandoned by AC Milan and left for England. Unexpectedly, in Nottingham Forest, he found the second spring of his career and entered the Champions League final again for two consecutive years. AC Milan's three times, he reached the final five times as a player, which is a remarkable achievement. Among the active players, only the Dutchman Seedorf can compare with him.Coincidentally, Seedorf is now in the AC Milan team.

"But the opponent in this final is AC Milan, Demi." A reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport asked an embarrassing question for everyone.Everyone tried to avoid mentioning this aspect before, but how could it be possible to turn a blind eye to such a news gimmick topic?

All the topics about AC Milan are very difficult for Albertini to face.On the one hand, it was the mother team that cultivated him and made him famous; on the other hand, it was also the team that ruthlessly abandoned him at the end of his career.

Should I love it, or should I hate it?

In the early days of being abandoned, he always insisted on one belief.That is, no matter what, he will return to San Siro and AC Milan.

As time passed, this belief slowly turned into a bubble. The moment he decided to go to Nottingham Forest, he was doomed to wave goodbye to this belief.He knew he was going to retire there, no matter what else could be accomplished.

After the leaves wither and turn yellow, they fall from the branches and fall to the ground. They will slowly rot and dissolve into the soil, becoming the nutrition that nourishes the big tree. In this way of self-sacrifice, we thank the big tree for its nurturing grace.

Dmitrio Albertini, who is good at shooting "fallen leaf balls", can only be blown by the wind to a strange place, where it slowly rots and is gradually forgotten.He has no chance to become a "loyal minister" who is promoted by the club like Baresi and Paolo Maldini.

The boss said that everyone has their own destiny, and everyone has their own unique path.For Albertini, becoming a wandering cloud is his way, so at the last moment of his career, facing his former teammates in the most important game and raising his home team is also his destiny ?
Perhaps if he had resolutely chosen to retire a year ago, there would not be such a meeting today.

"Will this game be your revenge against AC Milan?" The reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport added, this is what everyone is most concerned about.

Albertini looked up at the other, without a smile on his face.

Tang En appeared at the car door, he saw Albertini surrounded by reporters, and heard the Italian reporter ask a question in Italian, which made Albertini a little different.

He just stood on the car door and didn't get off. He didn't want to be the protagonist at this moment.

Albertini shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Winning the championship is my tribute to Milan."

After speaking, he pushed aside the crowd, bowed his head and walked out.

I really didn't expect them to hear such an answer from the always gentle Albertini. A group of Italian reporters looked at each other in blank dismay.

Even Albertini is so sure...

"Everyone firmly believes that they will win the championship..." Someone murmured, "What kind of magic did Tony Twain cast on them?"

Such a situation is indeed something they did not expect. When interviewing AC Milan before, they also asked such a question. Except for a very small number of people who firmly believed in their championship, most of them did not say they were dead.

Now some people understand why this team is so hated in England, dismissed as "melodramatic".

The arrogance with strength will make them kings, while the arrogance without strength can only become a clown who is ridiculed by others.

What is Nottingham Forest?

Tang En jumped out of the car, his footsteps woke up a group of Italian reporters.

Seeing him smiling and relaxed, everyone seemed to see the answer.

Why are those people so convinced they will win?
Because there is such a person behind them...

"Mr. Tang En, can you talk about this final..." There were still people who were persistently seeking answers.

"Didn't you all hear it? No matter how many times you ask, the answer is the same—we are the champions." He raised his hands and made a "victory" gesture.

At the same time, the flashes were on, and the English media outside cooperated with him so tacitly.

After taking the photos, Tang En was about to leave, but an Italian reporter asked unwillingly: "Confidence is certainly a good thing! But, Mr. Tang En, if you talk so full of words, aren't you afraid of any accidents then? Knowing that football is round, anything is possible in the game..."

Tang En looked back at the reporter, and said word by word: "Accident? I don't allow it to happen. Besides, in this game, the football is a triangle, dear Mr. Reporter."
