Chapter 252 The holiday is here
Manchester United defeated Chelsea in a penalty shootout and became the king of Europe in the 2007/2008 season.
After the game, the media rushed up frantically, wanting to interview every Manchester United player they can catch. At this time, every word from these players may become the focus of tomorrow's media reports.
Logically speaking, at this time, the most popular ones should be Manchester United’s champion stars, especially Cristiano Ronaldo. Zhang Yang should be able to leave the stadium easily at this time, but what he unexpectedly was that he was blocked by reporters on the way out.
"You should go to interview Manchester United players at this time, instead of waiting for me here. They are the protagonists today." Zhang Yang greeted the reporters with a smile.
"We've been waiting for you here for a long time, Zhang."
"You are the best performance this season."
"You will perform better than Cristiano Ronaldo in both the league and the Champions League."
Well, although he knew that these reporters' words were complimentary, Zhang Yang was still very happy when he heard it. Well, so he stopped and accepted an interview. In fact, it was unlikely that he would leave.
Mendes accompanied Zhang Yang, and he was worried about such things. Zhang Yang was surrounded by reporters. If he could say something that was easily misunderstood by the media or even misinterpreted, it would be bad.
As for Mourinho, he did not leave immediately after the game. He planned to comfort Chelsea players such as Drogba and Lampard. When Mourinho coached Chelsea, these people were his direct descendants, especially Drogba. Of course, as for whether Mourinho's move would make Chelsea senior executives, especially Chelsea head coach Grant, Mourinho was too lazy to pay attention to it. Besides, he had long seen Grant unhappy.
"Zhang, what are your goals for next season?"
"Of course it's the champion."
“What about it specifically?”
"We are the champions of the Serie A this season. I hope that I and the team can continue this momentum of winning the championship. In addition, the Champions League next season is also the focus. Well, if possible, I hope that I can attack the two championships with my teammates." Zhang Yang was excited when asked about this question, and he said confidently.
"Zhang, you can see that you seem to be confident?"
"Before doing something, you have to have enough confidence to really work towards a certain goal. This is a, well, an attitude question."
"If you win the double championship in AC Milan next season, will you choose to leave next season? If you leave, do you plan to go to the Premier League to experience it?" English reporters continued to ask.
Zhang Yang said: "I haven't considered leaving yet. AC Milan is very suitable for me now. I am very happy here. Of course, if I leave one day, I might choose the Premier League."
"This year is the European Cup. Are you considering watching the European Cup on the spot?" asked a reporter.
"I will return to China in a few days, so I may not have time to watch the European Cup on site. However, in the semi-finals, if I have enough time, I might come to watch the football on site. After all, this is the highest level of intercontinental game in Europe." Zhang Yang replied. He can be said to be familiar with the reporters on the spot and can cooperate better. Of course, this is only because reporters ask questions normally and do not deliberately find faults.
At this time, a beautiful reporter wearing black-framed glasses asked, "May I ask, there are two years left for the South African World Cup. Have you considered participating in the South African World Cup?"
As soon as the reporters heard about the World Cup, they immediately stared at Zhang Yang with interest. Many of these reporters were European journalists. Although they didn't know much about Chinese football, Zhang Yang had conflicts with the Chinese Football Association and was fired from the national team. In addition, they still knew that the Chinese team had been eliminated in the Asian qualifiers of the World Cup.
In the eyes of many reporters, the question from this beautiful reporter from the World News is somewhat provocative. Zhang Yang has a bad relationship with the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese national team is not likely to appear on the stage of the South African World Cup. Isn’t this question ridicule Zhang Yang, and even a sarcastic sense of the bad situation of Chinese football.
Zhang Yang looked at the blonde reporter with a bulging front and a squint back, and suddenly he felt that the words of this reporter from the British "News of the World" were not as sarcastic as it seemed. This feeling made Zhang Yang alert. Albertini had just found the suggestion that he wanted to play football on behalf of Italy, and the English reporter asked a question about the World Cup, which was a little wrong.
Also realizing that something was wrong was Mendes beside Zhang Yang. Shen Kong Zhang Yang's answer on this question would be a mistake. Mendes took over the conversation, pondered for a while, and replied for Zhang Yang: "The World Cup is the most influential sports game in the world. Of course, Zhang Yang hopes to participate, but the Chinese team has been confirmed to miss the South African World Cup, which is a pity. Therefore, Zhang cannot appear in South Africa in the World Cup. This is a pity for football."
At this time, Zhang Yang continued, "Although I can't participate in the South African World Cup, I will go to South Africa to watch the game. This can be considered supporting the World Cup."
Seeing that other reporters were going to ask questions about this question, Mendes spoke directly, "Okay, we won't discuss this topic anymore. Give you the last few opportunities to ask questions, let's start..."
With the help of the bodyguards, Zhang Yang finally got rid of the entanglement of the reporters, arrived at the parking lot, got into the car, Zhang Yang turned his head and asked Mendes. "Jorge, why do I think something is wrong? There is something wrong with that woman's question."
Mendes looked at Zhang Yang in surprise, "You think something is wrong, right? Well, now it seems that I feel right. Maybe this reporter from the World News really learned some news."
Seeing Zhang Yang's puzzled eyes, Mendes shook his head, "No news has been leaked here, but there should be no problem with Albertini. I still know Demi well, so he will not deliberately leak the news."
Zhang Yang nodded and did not continue to say anything. Now he was just suspicious and nothing really happened. Besides, even if it was really exposed by the media, they could not do anything. They could only hope that the English reporter today just happened to ask this question.
Shortly after the Champions League final, the 2007/2008 Champions League awards were released soon. In the selection of the best player, Zhang Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi ranked in the top three. It is reasonable for Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo to be shortlisted. Needless to say, Zhang Yang's performance has been set a new record of goals in the single season of the Champions League. Such players are of course qualified to compete for the best player in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest contributor to Manchester United winning the Champions League trophy again after nine years. Cristiano Ronaldo's eight goals in the Champions League have contributed a lot to Manchester United's victory over the championship.
Therefore, there is no doubt that Zhang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo were shortlisted for the third place by UEFA official selection.
However, Messi's selection still caused a lot of disputes, because many people think that although Messi's performance this season is excellent, the performance of this Argentine young player is hard to say. Not to mention anything else, Chelsea, as the runner-up of this Champions League, has many players in the team performing well, especially Lampard, whose performance is obvious to all, especially in the Champions League semi-finals against Liverpool and the goal against Manchester United in the final. Lampard endured the grief of his mother's death and participated in the game and performed well. The goal at this time is not only important, but also touching.
However, a subsequent announcement from UEFA proved that Messi was better than Lampard in terms of data such as the success rate of the past person and the success rate of the passing ball.
This data has made some skepticals shut up, but in England, especially among Chelsea fans, there are still a large number of fans who are unhappy. Messi and Lampard have different personal characteristics on the field. Is there anything more painful than this?
Although other awards have not been announced yet and need to be announced at the Champions League group stage draw ceremony at the end of August this summer, there is almost no doubt that one of the Champions League awards this season is that Sir Alex Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United, deserves it.
After Manchester United won the Champions League final, all European clubs in the 2007/2008 season ended. In this season, the continental football world represented by the five major leagues has shown new vitality and pattern. Some are in disputes between various powerful people, some are a strong team dominating, and some are two teams performing a two-city story.
The biggest winner of this season is still a situation where many strong players compete. Manchester United is still challenged by Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal has been putting pressure on Manchester United before the end of the season. However, in the final stage of the league, Arsenal was used to be weak and soft. On the contrary, Chelsea, coached by Grant, caught up and put a lot of pressure on Manchester United. In the end, Manchester United only led Chelsea by two points to win the championship!
In La Liga, Barcelona had long been out of the championship team, but Villarreal has been putting pressure on Real Madrid. However, as the league entered the final stage, Villarreal's shortcomings of insufficient bench depth were exposed, and the gap was gradually widened by Real Madrid. In the end, Real Madrid won the championship with an absolute advantage of eight points. This also gave Real Madrid's difficult chairman Calderon a chance to breathe.
The most worth mentioning Serie A. In the second Serie A season after the "Tel Gate", Inter Milan in Serie A is no longer the dominant one. Inter Milan, which still performs poorly in the European battlefield, and AC Milan, a city rival, staged a two-city story that has not appeared in Serie A for many years. In addition, Rome still performs strongly and Juventus' return. After experiencing the impact of the "Tel Gate Gate", the Serie A seems to show the momentum of revival.
In the German Football League One, Bayern Munich continued to be the dominant position in the Bundesliga. They have never encountered any decent challenges in the league throughout the season. Bayern Munich has always led the league standings. Even when Bayern Munich was napping, the chasers did not really pose a real threat to the Bundesliga class bullies. The Bundesliga is the situation where Bayern Munich dominated the league, and several other teams competed for the runner-up and the Champions League qualification. At the end of the final season, Bayern Munich easily won the Bundesliga championship with a tenth advantage over Werder Bremen.
In France, the championship crown fell on Lyon's head again. Last season, Marseille won the Ligue 1 championship under Zhang Yang's leadership. However, last summer, Ribery, Nasri and Zhang Yang both transferred and left. Although Marseille also bought a powerful star like Borello in the transfer market, it still could not resist the counterattack of the French Ligue 1 overlord Lyon in the new season. The Ligue 1 championship once again became a plaything for Lyon.
After the club event, fans around the world shifted their attention from the club to the national team. The European Cup was about to start, and European powers were sharpening their swords and preparing to compete for the glory of the "King of Europe". Teams on other continents, such as the American team, also began to have warm-up matches. However, Zhang Yang was the easiest at this time. In AC Milan's first-line lineup, he was the only player who did not enter the national team. Even Gurkuf is now training with the national team, but I don't know if he will be brought to the European Cup. Even Pato is now selected for the Brazilian national team and is training with the Brazilian team to prepare for the warm-up match.
After leaving Moscow, Zhang Yang did not return to China from Moscow immediately. He returned to Milan first because he went to Moscow after the season ended, and he still had some things to deal with in Milan.
At this time, most of the teammates in Milan left Milan to report to their respective national teams. Zhang Yang was the easiest one. After he returned to Milan, he was busy shopping. During the Spring Festival, Zhang Yang was unable to go home to accompany his family for the New Year. So now the season is over. When he goes back this time, Zhang Yang is preparing to give some more gifts to his relatives and friends.
Knowing that Zhang Yang was about to return home, Melissa Terrio came to Milan from France and fully enjoyed the time with Zhang Yang.
"How long have you been in China?" Melissa Terrio handed Zhang Yang an apple that had just been peeled and asked gently.
"It's more than half a month, and then I'll go to Switzerland to watch the opening ceremony of the European Cup. After watching the opening ceremony of the European Cup, I'm going to start to get busy. By the way, your TV station should report on the European Cup on the spot, so wait for me in Switzerland." Zhang Yang took the apple handed over by Melissa Terrio and said with a smile.
"Well, okay, I do go to the European Cup to report on the spot, but it's not just the opening ceremony. During the entire European Cup, I will run back and forth between several host cities." As he said, Melissa Terrio sighed quietly, "Just think about it, you will feel tired. If you participate in the European Cup, you won't be like this. I will be full of energy."
"Uh--" Now, whenever Zhang Yang mentioned the issues related to the national team, he would be more sensitive. However, when he saw Melissa Terrio just sighed casually, and smiled and said nothing.
At this time, Zhang Yang's cell phone on the coffee table rang, and Melissa Terrio looked at the number and handed it to Zhang Yang. "It's your agent, Mr. Mendes."
Zhang Yang took the phone and said to the agent who disturbed him and Melissa Terrio without a good voice: "Hi, Jorge, didn't I say that I would go back to China during this period, so I don't have anything to bother me?"
Mendes knew Zhang Yang's virtue, and didn't mind Zhang Yang's tone, and said on the other end of the phone: "Zhang, I'm here in Milan now, I have something to look for you."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Yang asked in confusion. Mendes was helping Mourinho with Quaresma's transfer. Why did he suddenly call himself? Judging from what he meant, it seemed that things were more important.
"Didn't we communicate before, and are now discussing the new contract with AC Milan Club? Now things have changed a little bit." Mendes said.
Things about the new contract? This is a serious matter. Zhang Yang is no longer lazy. He picked up his cell phone, stood up, walked to the balcony, looked at Lake Como not far away, took a deep breath, and said, "Is there any problem with the new contract? What does the club mean?"
Mendes did not say it directly, but continued, "Where are you? I'll go find you, I can't explain it clearly on the phone."
"Let me do this, I'll go to your hotel. I'm not at home now, just go to the hotel you're staying at."
"Are you not at home?" Mendes said angrily: "Don't lie, Zhang, look down and look at your door..."
Zhang Yang bent down and looked over. He happened to see Mendes waving to him. Unexpectedly, the lies were exposed at once. Zhang Yang laughed dryly, waved his hand, and said to his cell phone, "What a coincidence, Jorge, I'm very happy to see you."
"It's a coincidence." Mendes said without hesitation, "Okay, Zhang, I don't care which woman is in your house. I won't ask about your private matters anyway, I'll ring the doorbell."
"Which woman?" Zhang Yang shook his head, "Don't say it seems like I'm so fickle." While speaking, he asked the servant to open the door for Mendes.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang walked back from the balcony and shrugged at Melissa Terrio, "Our world of two is about to be disturbed. Jorge is here, there is something to do."
Melissa Terrio said gently: "I'll make coffee."
Zhang Yang nodded, which is why he likes to be with Melissa Terrio psychologically more. Melissa Terrio is very good at taking care of people, is well-educated, gentle and considerate.
