Football red and black years

On May 2004, 5, Gelsenkirchen went to the Schalke Stadium proudly, and the 26th UEFA Champions League will be held soon.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Portuguese Prime Minister Barroso, Chris Man, Schumacher, Samaranch and others attended the game.

Scarlett rolled her eyes silently when she saw Boss Bei's "deeply relieved" smile.

Although in the past few years, when people talk about the chairman of AC Milan, most of them think of Scarlett, but at this time, especially when Milan reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years, Mr. Bei still couldn't help but want to come out to make a wave of existence. feel!

To be honest, the fans are still very satisfied with Berlusconi, at least he once brought Milan a brilliant dynasty era.And when Milan was transferred out, it was considered to have found a good home for Milan.

This new boss is also willing to invest money in Milan, and the effect of investing money is much better than the guy next door who spent money, but his grades have always been mesmerizing!

Scarlett looked around from the stands, and saw a somewhat familiar figure...

That's it, Mendez?Well, Porto is basically a client of Mendes from players to coaches.Kaka in Milan is also a client of Mendes, so it is not surprising that he came to watch the game!

At this time, Mendes, who was sitting in the neutral fan area, was thinking that those Porto players who entered the final this time could be sold to the giants who are currently "expanding their arms and preparing for war".

In Serie A, the northern three heroes with better economic conditions are busy recruiting. If possible, what Mendes hopes most is to sell the players to Milan!

Juventus's wealth is only relative due to the economic recession in Italy, and Juventus' head coach Lippi has resigned, and the new head coach is unknown.The idea of ​​team building is not very clear.

Inter Milan is rich, but given the nickname of the "star black hole" Mendes feels that the transfer needs to be cautious!

In fact, Mendes most wants to sell players to AC Milan!Milan is rich, and Scarlett is willing to spend money, and Milan's head coach Ancelotti should still stay in Milan for a long time. The idea of ​​​​building a team is very clear.

Not to mention Milan's commercial development advantages like being close to the water, it is definitely a good choice for players.

but……

But the problem is that Mendes doesn't think Milan's existing lineup can allow these Porto players to compete for the main position.Even the first substitute is often suspended.

Milan has recently been looking for a striker in the transfer market, as a substitute for Shevchenko and Inzaghi like Thomason.After all, Shevchenko and Inzaghi have always been injured and absent for a period of time at the beginning of the season in recent seasons.And Milan, from Scarlett to Henry, is constantly reminding Ancelotti to rotate, so Milan's current striker reserves are very stretched, so Scarlett has the idea of ​​bringing another striker back from the transfer market.

In the case that Thomason can serve as a shadow forward, Milan hopes to find a fairly good center forward.It is not required to be comparable to Shevchenko, but at least it must be able to support Milan's striker at critical times.

It is said that Milan intends to live an unsatisfactory life at Chelsea, but Crespo is still quite good.

Mendes silently calculated the players in his hands, and the only one who could compete with Crespo in strength was a certain three-year-old.Now a certain three-year-old should stay at Manchester United!He is not a center either!

Needless to say the midfielder, Milan has no idea of ​​​​adding a midfielder now, unless you are a player of Maradona's level.

If you say you want to compete with the current Milan defender for the starting position, then you are probably joking!

Cafu and Maldini, two old and vigorous players, can no longer be described as world-class, or even historical-level.The ability of Cannavaro and Nesta to become the unshakable first-choice central defender combination in a country like Italy with iron guard jungles is enough to show their strength!

Moreover, there is also Costacurta, who is also old and strong but can be centered and righted in the regular substitute, and Kaladze, who is not the world's top but is also very reliable, is also capable of being a left back and a center back.And "Brazilian Wing" Serginho...

In other words, the difficulty of occupying a main position in Milan is no less difficult than that of the star-studded Galaxy Battleship.

However, although there is no hope for Serie A, Mendes feels that he can still take a look at the Premier League. At least now a Russian who is waving a check and wants to buy players from all over the world is a good choice!

Well, the bling option

This game is the focus of everyone's attention. Is it Milan that broke the spell that the defending champion has been difficult to win since the restructuring of the Champions League, or Porto stepping on the shoulders of giants to reach the top of Europe?

This requires both sides to prove this point through 90 minutes or even longer.

Porto has played steadily in the Champions League and has been unbeaten in 10 consecutive games before. If AC Milan wins, then counting the two Champions Leagues in the player era, he will have the fourth Champions League trophy in his life history.

Mourinho did not let McCarthy, the top scorer in the Portuguese Super League this season, play, but let the teenager Alberto partner with Dellei. Alberto became the ninth youngest player to play in the Champions League final.

Milan is naturally led by Maldini.Looking at Ma Yingjun, who was born in 1968, and Cafu, who was born in 1970, who were still able to gallop all over the court, Scarlett sighed silently: Italy is prolific and evil!

For ordinary athletes, the age of 30 is basically the end of their careers, but for some Italian players, or players who play in Serie A, there are still several years to struggle at the age of 30.Even Scarlett got the test and evaluation of Ma Yingjun and Cafu, it seems that these two seem to be able to fight for at least three more years!

While waiting for the pre-match ceremony, Scarlett was thinking that she must tell the laboratory when she went back: Take care of that big cat for me!

Although the 36-year-old Maldini is definitely not as able to go up and down as the "Maldini Corridor" was when he was 26 years old.

But after looking around in the transfer market, Scarlett still didn't find the one who was stronger than Maldini among the full-backs from 20 to 30 years old...

In the opening 3 minutes, Kaka responded with a direct pass from Sheva and almost formed a single goal, but the experienced Baya rushed out of the penalty area in time to make a clearance, and Seedorf shot with his left foot at the front of the penalty area.

In the 7th minute, Cannavaro uprooted Delle, Deco took a free kick from the right side, the goalkeeper Dida punched out, Deco's low shot from 16 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Cafu.

In the first 15 minutes, Shevchenko and Alberto each had 2 offsides.The midfield defense of the two teams is very tight, and the scene is relatively dull.

In the 20th minute, Seedorf broke into the left side of the penalty area and made a pass from the bottom, but Shevchenko missed the back post.

"It seems that Milan still has a big advantage!" This is what Nancy, who watched the game together, said.

"You still need to be careful, that Mourinho is good at training players!" Scarlett said.

Mourinho's ability to bring Polti to the Champions League final is enough to show his level of training and training players!

Porto's players sometimes need to use search engines to find out their details, except for the most senior fans.

In other words, their talent is far behind Baggio, Del Piero, Raul and the like who became famous when they were young, so whether this type of players can meet a good coach is crucial to their careers. Especially important!In other words, it is more dependent on a good coach than a player whose talent is almost visible to the naked eye.

But this also brings about a problem, that is, the use of these players extremely needs "instructions".

In other words, the coach who successfully brought him out knows how to use him!

Therefore, when Scarlett inspects players, she generally chooses players who have done well under several coaches.The adaptability of this kind of player can be regarded as basically guaranteed, and there is no need for such a particularly advanced manual.

"I think that coach's style is really Italian!" This is what Ryder Hurt, who also came to watch the game, said.

"The offense wins, and the defense wins the championship! Playing against the Serie A team either thinks that he has lost too little or he has Maradona!" Nancy curled her lips and said.

"Are you very free recently? Are you often free to watch football games?" Ryder Hurt also has the skill of stabbing a knife.

"I just have business here recently, and I'm just here to take a look." Nancy replied calmly.

"Porto didn't choose the tactic of flying with both wings? I almost thought that all the tactics in the Iberian Peninsula were to fly with both wings!" Nancy looked at the players from both sides who had been fighting in the midfield!

Portugal is rich in wingers, and the midfielder is not bad!Spain's midfield is better, but the wingers are just as good.Even many years later, Real Madrid has a saying: Real Madrid attack more sideways, especially the lifeline on the left!

But what followed was like a feng shui problem. The weakness of the center forward in the Iberian Peninsula has always been the heart disease of Spain and Portugal.

Compared with Italy, which is weak in midfield but has many heroes in forwards and defenders, Spain has waited for so many years to really find a good center-Morientes!And Portugal's center forward problem is still unresolved!

"It's very simple, hoard troops in the midfield, steal a goal when necessary, and then start to shrink the defense!" Scarlett looked at the situation on the field and said that Milan sent today in addition to the classic back line. Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Kaka.The forwards are played by Inzaghi and Shevchenko.

This midfield combination can attack and defend, organize and break through. In theory, it can be regarded as a golden midfield combination.

As long as these guys don't sleepwalk!Well, probably no one sleepwalks in a Champions League final.

The two sides came and went in the first half, and the midfield fight was very fierce. Mourinho obviously made up his mind to put an iron barrel in front of the goal in the first half.

But this is not a useful approach, at least Porto's iron barrel formation is not so impeccable compared to Serie A in the iron guard jungle.

In the 39th minute, Kaka made a breakthrough with the ball. After passing the opponent's two defenders, he kicked. Just when the goalkeeper thought he was going to shoot, Kaka made a false shot and passed the ball to Shevchenko.

Shevchenko, who received the ball, took a step back with the ball and succeeded in anti-offside. Porto goalkeeper Baya couldn't make a save.Milan leads 1:0.

Milan tried to keep the ball in midfield for the rest of the first half, so that Porto could not threaten the penalty area.

Mourinho is a good defensive master, but Italy is the birthplace of the 1:0 idea, and he just intends to delay the first half, there is no pressure at all!

After the start of the second half, Milan tried to launch a fast break,

In the 56th minute, Maldini made a long pass from the left to Pirlo, and Pirlo picked the ball to Kaka with the cooperation of Gattuso.Kaka also made an oblique pass from the left to the penalty area, and Shevchenko smashed the ball into the goal with a header 10 meters in front of the goal.

Milan leads 2:0.

At this time, Mourinho could no longer sit still on the sidelines and began to make substitutions.

Mourinho replaced Macheni with Lithuanian striker Jan Kauskas, and Porto changed to 433.

Watching Porto change, Ancelotti touched his chin and thought about it, and replaced Kaka with Rui Costa.Now that Porto has one less defensive player, the pressure to break through will be much less for Shevchenko and Inzaghi.It is a better choice to replace a good passer at this time.

Obviously, Ancelotti's substitution played a very good role, and Rui sent a very threatening assist as soon as he came up.

Shevchenko cut inside to attack the goal, although the ball was hit by the goalkeeper.But Inzaghi, the killer in the penalty area, was already ready. Porto's goalkeeper and defenders stared dumbfounded at the white waves caused by the ball entering the net!

3:0

Milan has secured the victory!

Ancelotti looked at the scoreboard and replaced Pirlo with Ambrosini to strengthen the defense.

But Porto didn't give up and pushed forward aggressively, but they were helpless in the face of Milan's reinforced concrete defense.

In the 73rd minute, Dellei broke into the right side of the penalty area and fell to the ground under Nesta's sliding shovel, but Nelson did not give a penalty.

In the 75th minute, Dellei made a cross from the outside of his right foot on the left side. The ball hit Gattuso's chest and bounced into the left side of the penalty area. Alenichev calmly volleyed with his right foot 8 meters in front of the goal but was stuck. Navarro made an undercut to clear the penalty area.

In the 77th minute, Baya was kicked to the ground when he saved Shevchenko's strong shot. The team doctor came in for treatment, and the Porto fans booed.

In the 83rd minute, Baya was knocked down again when receiving the ball.

In the 85th minute, Ambrosini knocked back from the bottom line on the right. The ball was thrown by Baya and bounced to the back post. Seedorf shot high with his left foot from a small angle.Delly was replaced by South African striker McCarthy.

In stoppage time, Porto, which was heavily pressed, failed to stage the Nou Camp miracle like Manchester United did back then. Milan's defense and Dida perfectly completed the task of keeping the opponent clean!

With the whistle of the referee, Milan defeated Porto perfectly with a score of 3:0, becoming the first team to successfully win consecutive championships since the restructuring of the Champions League!

This is also the seventh Champions League trophy in the history of the Milan team. Now Milan can declare to the world: last year's Champions League was not a flash in the pan, and another dynasty era of Milan is now in full swing!

With Maldini lifting the trophy again, Milan became the fifth team to complete the treble after Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV in 1988 and Manchester United in 1999. team!

Scarlett still stood low-key and watched the players go to receive their medals, but no one could deny her importance in Milan at this time!From 1999 to 2004, in five years, two Champions League trophies, two Italian Cups, one European Super Cup, one Italian Super Cup, and only one Club World Cup. Milan won all club levels in the Scarlett era important trophy.

Milan, announce to everyone that he deserves to be called the best club in the world!

The author has something to say: I didn't intend to grab Uncle Bird's Champions League, but about Riazor...

In short, it should be normal for Milan to beat Porto after passing the hurdle of Riazor.Originally, if Milan entered the semi-finals, they should have met Porto in the semi-finals, but let me change it to the finals!

It took me two days to write about such a non-existent game, and then I have to write the European Cup for Jiu Ye......

However, the 04 Euro Cup group stage is back home!In other words, the knockout rounds are all made up by myself!
