Section 171 The Miracle of Riazor (Act 2: The King of Milan)
How powerful is AC Milan in this era? Even if Wang Ai's arrival ignited Deportivo's domestic favorability in advance, it is far less popular than Milan. Among the articles published by domestic media before the competition, 95
% thought Milan would win, 70% analyzed the game on Milan's side, and 50% showed some "hostility" towards Deportivo.
For example, the article published by "Global News" stated that "Deportivo is an insignificant stumbling block to the Milan dynasty." It must be said that the Chinese media took appropriate care of the emotions of Wang Ai and his supporters, taking into account Wang Ai's
When Depor is not doing well, it is even more egregious.
One is a star-studded All-Star, and the other is a scrappy team! This is the common view of domestic media and fans during this period. Even if Wang Ai scored five goals for Monaco in half an hour, no one would think that Monaco is AC.
Milan!
The influence of the Mini World Cup is so great! The first foreign football matches to be broadcast on Chinese TV is Serie A. Among Chinese fan groups, especially those born in the 60s, 70s, and some born in the 80s, AC Milan has far more fans than any other football team.
The team has a huge supporter base. Even Real Madrid has only captured some Chinese fans with its "Galaxy" in recent years.
These fans like both AC Milan and Wang Ai. Among them, Wang Ai came out of Tübingen last year and had the best wish to eventually transfer to AC Milan. Unfortunately, Wang Ai chose from thousands of choices and ended up going to an unknown place.
, Deportivo La Coruña can at most be called a "giant killer". "Giant killer" is not a "giant". This is the difference.
In the past few days, in the football sections of nascent online communities such as Tianya, Yahoo, NetEase, and Sina, tangled emotions abound. In a female netizen named "Yingkou Haiyizi", she posted "I wish Wang Ai will play tomorrow."
Under the article "Victory", there were rows of sour voices. It was hard to refute, but I was not willing to give in.
The person who posted the article knows this sentiment very well. In the computer class of the History Department of Renmin University, I laughed with my best friend while watching it. Yes, the owner of such a filthy and scummy online name is Xu Qinglian, and even her QQ
The nickname is also the same, I don’t know what she thinks.
Of course, this may also be due to Wang Ai's influence. For example, under the prying eyes of Xu Qinglian's best friend, the most popular chat partner of "Yingkou Sea Oyster" is "Liaoyang bumpkin".
But at this time, Wang Ai did not have the energy to pay attention to the reaction of domestic fans. After training, he, Leoni, and Huang Xin discussed with each other through QQ the design of the "transit station" role of Tubingen youth, a kind of Chinese football.
is a big topic. Under this, the transfer of Zheng Zhi, which triggered this discussion, was not discussed much. Beyond Sports has sent a transfer invitation to the Shenzhen Club. Next, it depends on the attitude of the Shenzhen Club.
, although Zheng Zhi won the Chinese Footballer of the Year, the transfer price will not be too high, especially when there is only one young family from Tübingen, it certainly cannot be compared with the 2 million euros paid by Li Tie and Sun Jihai. Two people from one family
Clubs in the top league cannot offer such high prices.
In addition, Wang Ai is continuing to think about his creativity. In the last game against Hong Kong, his mentality seemed to be good after the change, but he had too little experience.
Outside the quiet and busy Wang Ai's house, the small town of Deportivo has attracted all the attention of the Champions League match in midweek. On April 6, the Milan people, led by Vice Chairman Galliani, took the team one day ahead of schedule.
They arrived in Deportivo to adapt to the venue. They were accompanied by about a thousand Milan fans. They wore red and white jerseys and walked through the streets of Deportivo. They looked very relaxed. Faced with the people passing by from time to time.
Depor fans wearing blue and white jerseys, there is no conflict between the two sides, but they often have very friendly interactions.
In the afternoon, AC Milan went to the Riazor Stadium for training and venue adaptation. The elegant Milanese also signed autographs for some fans on the spot.
Accompanying Milan to Deportivo was a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport. He was interviewing Milan stars along the way, seeking their prospects for winning the Champions League this season. What concerned them most was the night of April 6
During the battle between Real Madrid and Monaco, Real Madrid, which was dubbed the "Galactic Battleship" by Florentino, also aroused the jealousy of the Milan people, who very much hoped to play against Real Madrid.
As for Deportivo La Coruña, neither the reporters nor the players paid much attention to it. This is a small team in Spain that lacks knowledge. Take a look at their club headquarters. Even the chair where the boss Lendoiro is sitting is
A green sponge cushion was full of holes. Of course, the cushions on other chairs were also like this. When meeting with Galliani, Vice Chairman Ramon repeatedly hinted that Lendoiro should put his legs up, so that no one could tell.
.
For such a poor club, although the spirit of hard work is admirable, that's all. A guy with a debt of 150 million euros actually has the nerve to propose joining the G-14? No wonder Bayern chairman Rummenigge mocked them.
You should stay in the small fishing port."
In the afternoon, all senior management of Deportivo La Coruña attended a banquet for AC Milan. Not only the chairman, vice-chairman, major shareholders, and club head coach were present, but even Wang Ai, who was at home, was pulled out to the platform. Wang Ai did not want to attend such an occasion.
, but Wang Ai couldn't ignore Lendoiro's reason for making the phone call in person: We hope to coordinate some games with the other party, and hope they won't beat us too badly, which will affect our future TV broadcast income.
Lendoiro, Ramon, shareholder representatives, fan representatives, Irueta, Pablo, Wang Ai and dozens of others greeted the Milanese group in front of the best hotel in La Coruna. Exit Galliani
The people behind the car shook hands and greeted everyone enthusiastically. There was no trace of the arrogance of the big football club, which made the Deportivo people feel a little ashamed. However, at the dinner table, when Lendoiro mentioned the game tomorrow, Galli
Yani ignored him and did not answer any questions. Vice Chairman Ramon was a little impatient and couldn't help but interrupt several times. Galliani seemed not to understand at all.
Faced with Deportivo's full-scale battle, Milan only sent the vice president and two other officials. No player representatives came, and coach Ancelotti did not attend. They were gathering in the hotel.
Watch the Champions League! Watch the match between Real Madrid and Monaco.
After sending Galliani away, the people of A Coruña stood on the street corner and were silent for several minutes.
The elegant king Milan did not know that the contempt they showed intentionally or unintentionally had already made the vulgar "fishermen" furious.
