Toasts, fireworks, reporters taking photos everywhere; hugs, drinks, Moratti’s eager smile; smiling faces, cheers, the magic sound filling the head at the Bernabeu; sea of people, sunshine, buses filled with flowers...
The "Great International Era" has truly arrived. Based on two consecutive years of triple crowns, it has created the most powerful Italian team in the history of football in the new century, a team with players from many countries fighting side by side, and a team that belongs to Italy.
Ratti belongs to Jose and Wang Ai's team.
"He is the King of the Champions League!" This was the front page headline of the first newspaper Wang Ai saw after returning to Milan. It listed in detail Wang Ai's four Champions League appearances on behalf of Deportivo La Coruna, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
Journey. So much so that while sitting on the bus returning to the base, the teammates were excitedly interacting with the fans outside the window, while Wang Ai was reading the newspaper with relish.
There were some details that even he himself had forgotten, but it was quite unique to find them out this time.
It's a pity that even if he wins five Champions Leagues, UEFA will not give him the trophy.
Bah, stingy!
This year, I scored 41 goals in the league and 22 goals in the Champions League. I got two Golden Boot trophies again. Well, there is also the European Golden Boot. How many times has this happened? The Champions League Golden Boot seems to be six consecutive years, and the European Golden Boot is five consecutive years.
The Golden Boot has been awarded for four consecutive years. If you think about it this way...
"I am indeed crazy alone!"
In the afternoon of Milan, a beautiful float was driven onto the street. In the blue-black city, the float seemed like a small boat, slowly pushing away the waves. Above the front of the float, everything seemed to be happening again a year ago. There were three
There are trophies, two captains, and a coach.
As usual, Wang Ai's position was in the second row. He really couldn't stand the celebration for several hours, so he hid in the second row and was lazy, looking down at his phone from time to time, or saying a few words to others.
In the evening, the float returned to Meazza, which was full of fireworks. Wang Ai couldn't hear what the host said at all. He remembered that the smoke and dust were so thick at the last moment that no one could see. He was reminded by the captain next to him.
I know the group has broken up.
On the 24th, the celebrations continued. Fans paraded in the streets of Milan on their own, or chatted endlessly with the unique enthusiasm of Latin people. The team rushed to various key places to attend various business activities or charity activities, and even media activities.
.
Although some people asked some unpleasant questions on this occasion, such as whether Jose is leaving, such as what Wang Ai thinks of Cruyff saying that he alone made Inter Milan, etc., most of them are relatively friendly and some are annoying.
The question also received no positive response from several parties involved.
When you are happy, no one wants to quarrel.
In the past two days, Wang Ai had a brief discussion with Moratti on the contract renewal issue. Moratti came to him for confirmation after getting the news from Schlapner.
Wang Ai's non-renewal of his contract would naturally lead to the devaluation of his contract, but at the same time it would also save him from the inevitable salary increase after defending the Champions League. Therefore, Moratti confirmed that this was Wang Ai's own opinion and said nothing more. From then on, the two knew each other well.
Obviously, Wang Ai will leave in one year at the latest. He will not accompany Inter Milan to decline, sink, adjust, and start again, and he has no intention of looking forward to a new boss.
After receiving the reply, Moratti was a little melancholy and also a little happy. A superstar with a richer net worth than him came because of his invitation and left because of his departure. Doesn't this mean that he is a successful boss?
Wang Ai, who had been busy all day on the 25th, arrived at Milan Airport in the evening, accompanied by Luo Tongliang and Zhang Yonghai.
"Brother Erbao, are you planning to stay in Brescia until you retire?" After the plane stabilized, Wang Ai fired at Zhang Yonghai.
Erbao scratched his bald forehead: "Isn't this good for me? I make a lot of money and have some leisure time?"
Wang Ai rolled his eyes speechlessly. Zhang Yonghai's technical characteristics are extremely unusual. He can play as a semi-main force in the first level of the five major leagues, but he would rather you be the absolute main force in Brescia, Serie B... But don't
He said that from the perspective of maintaining his condition, he might have done the right thing.
"Lao Luo, are you ready to leave? Bayern didn't keep you?"
"I didn't stay much, and there's no point in staying."
"Have you decided where to go?"
"Coach Magath admires me very much and plans to take me to Schalke 04. Feng Xiaoting and Hao Junmin are both there, so it will be lively when I go."
"Must be Schalke 04?"
"I'm not sure. Schlapner said there is Wolfsburg. Maybe the conditions in the back are better. Let's see." Luo Tongliang shook his head: "You can go anywhere, just hang out in the Bundesliga for three more years."
I returned to China in two years, returned to Liaoning Football Team and played for another three or two years before retiring. I have been abroad for the past ten years, and I feel a little homesick."
Wang Ai nodded silently, and then said after a while: "Okay, as you get older, you should consider your age. By the way, after you retire, do you plan to do business or something?"
"I don't have that brain, I'd better do something about football."
"Entering Beyond Sports?" Wang Ai asked.
"That's just right." Luo Tongliang laughed honestly.
The two of them were in love with each other, but Brother Erbao, who was standing next to him, interrupted: "What about me? I also want to join Beyond Sports and have a bowl of peaceful rice!"
"Can you still be short of food? Someone will definitely ask you to be a coach by then?"
Erbao giggled upon hearing this: "Yes, I am a national football player. I have participated in the World Cup twice, hehe."
After a few people chatted for a while, Wang Ai said: "I will have to leave after only a few days in Beijing this time, but the Champions League just now gave me a very unusual feeling."
"Why is this so unusual?" Both of them became interested. After all, this was the King of Champions League expressing his thoughts.
"Isn't the position change of my national team to enhance control? I thought about it for a long time, and suddenly figured it out during the game, or found a direction. This control must be the product of mutual struggle and game."
Speaking of this, Wang Ai lowered his voice: "Arjen Robben, Bayern's best player, was knocked down by Samuel within a few minutes of the opening game. From then on, he was no longer sharp. This directly led to the disconnect between Bayern's midfield and frontcourt.
. Even without me that day, Bayern would have lost. Isn’t this a confrontation of control?”
Listening to the voices in the cabin gradually calming down, Wang Ai did not dare to say more, and finally made two sentences: "In the past, when we watched games and reviewed the games, we studied them from the technical and tactical details. But this time I plan to study them from the overall perspective.
Let’s analyze it from the perspective of field control. After thinking about it for the past two days, I really discovered something unusual. The results of many games may be decided in the first 10 minutes. I plan to have a good talk with you about this aspect when I return to China this time.
You guys should also help me think about it."
Luo Tongliang nodded thoughtfully. Brother Erbao looked at Lao Luo, then at Wang Ai, and also touched his chin.
