While the players and fans were celebrating together after the game, Jiang Mu came to the press conference hall of the Westrenfa Stadium to attend the post-match press conference.
Houllier, the losing Liverpool coach, was not late. Facing Inter Milan, which is the best in Europe and is known as the strongest in history, Liverpool lost 4:5. It is not that shameful. If you think about AC who was extremely humiliated.
Milan, think of Roma and Lazio who were slaughtered, think of Kaiserslautern who was beaten into a sieve, Liverpool should be really happy.
Houllier, who was the first to speak after the game, also truthfully talked about his feelings. He said: "Many people think that I am very conservative, but today Dortmund witnessed a great final. In recent years, the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup finals
The scenes are often dull and there are not many goals scored, because both teams are wealthy teams that cannot afford to lose, and everyone wants to be careful. Therefore, the game is always a stalemate, and there are too many entanglements in the midfield. But today our two teams
None of the teams did that. The score of 5:4 exceeded the total goals scored in the past three UEFA Cup finals. Although we lost the championship in the last minute, we lost without regrets. It’s just that Liverpool lost in this way.
It's too cruel. If it were any opponent, Liverpool would probably win the championship."
Houllier then talked about the reason for the failure, "...our players did not perform badly. Although they were scored 5 goals by the opponent, I want to say that our defense was not defeated by the opponent. It was the opponent who grasped the
The ability of chances is too strong. In the first half when we were in the best condition, our opponents could not break our goal in sports battles, but they scored three times through free kicks. In the second half, we were missing one person, and the physical fitness and energy of the players dropped quickly.
, giving Ronaldo a chance to make a personal breakthrough. Here, I want to complain that Babel's sending off had a great impact on us. For two teams with similar levels, one less person is almost fatal. The referee
This penalty was a bit hasty and harsh. It turns out that Babel’s foul on Ronaldo was not enough to get a red card, a yellow card was enough. I have to say here that Ronaldo disappointed me. It was his exaggerated performance that caused the
Babel's fate directly determined the outcome of the game."
When Jiang Mu spoke next, he also admitted that Liverpool had caused a lot of trouble for Inter Milan, "We did not underestimate Liverpool before the game. We even arranged a slightly conservative lineup, but the facts tell us that Liverpool is better than we imagined.
We were even stronger, and we even lost the hope of winning the championship. However, my players performed very well. They played bravely and smartly under any circumstances. When our opponents took the lead twice, we still maintained our lead.
Calmness, this was of great help to our final comeback. I have to praise Ronaldo. Although he came on as a substitute, he changed the direction of the game. His two personal performances caused the opponent to concede two goals. About that
I want to defend Ronnie. As a player who returned to the court after being injured for a year, his psychology must have been shadowed. At this time, any excessive movement will cause a huge reaction in him, so
Those who accuse Ronnie of diving and performing are trying to judge others by themselves, without thinking about it from Ronaldo’s point of view.”
After Jiang Mu defended Ronaldo, he briefly commented on the game, "This is a classic. In the next ten or twenty years, he will be mentioned one after another. Some people may criticize this final.
Many of the goals scored were caused by taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes. The goals themselves lacked exquisite coordination and were not exciting. In fact, the strength of a team is reflected in their ability to seize opportunities. If opportunities are wasted, no matter how many mistakes the opponent makes,
You can't get a bargain either. And what do the fans want to see when they watch the game? They just want to see more goals! Although both sides attach great importance to defense in this battle, within 90 minutes the two teams still had a rough time attacking each other.
Scoring 9 goals, from this point of view, this final can be said to be great."
When reporters asked questions next, except for the English reporters, most of the other reporters targeted Jiang Mu.
"Why can't Ronaldo start?" Brazilian reporters mentioned this question again.
Jiang Mu became a little impatient and said: "I have the final say who should play and who should be substituted. As long as my team keeps winning, no one has the right to ask me to do this or that."
A reporter from Milan asked Jiang Mu if he had ever thought about failure when he was unable to open up the situation.
Jiang Mu replied: "Of course I will think about failure. Liverpool is a strong team and they have the ability to defeat us. However, in the end we still had the last laugh."
An English reporter asked Houllier: "Which player in Liverpool are you most satisfied with and which player are you least satisfied with?"
Houllier said: "The best one is definitely General McAllister. He is a creative midfielder, but many people think he is old because he is 36 years old this year and has aged continuously.
Even the bottom teams in the Premier League like Coventry have kicked him out, but Coventry is about to be relegated, and you have also seen McCallister's performance. He does not look like a 36-year-old at all, he is fully capable.
Playing until the age of 39 like Matthaus, and with his presence, the young Liverpool team can find a long-lost sense of balance. As for the worst player, I don’t think there is one, the players all performed well. The loss is only because of the opponent
Too powerful."
The same question was asked to Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu replied: "I am satisfied with all the players. You cannot criticize a championship player. It is unfair to criticize them, unless I am crazy. Of course, we also have many needs."
For improvement, a team like Liverpool is like a mirror, it can show all our shortcomings, and we must continue to improve ourselves if we want to win more championships."
A Spanish reporter then asked: "Coach Jiang Mu, do you mean you will make a substantial purchase next season?"
Jiang Mu said with a smile: "Of course we will buy people. If a team wants to remain competitive, it must continue to buy and sell people. Inter Milan will certainly not be an exception. However, we will not make a major change, it will only make us become more
Perfect."
"What do you think is not perfect enough?" the Spanish reporter continued to ask.
"There are many imperfections, otherwise we would not have conceded so many goals. You will know the specific areas by reading the newspapers and TV tomorrow. Experts and commentators are holding magnifying glasses to find our problems." Jiang Mu said humorously.
to avoid the reporter’s question trap.
"When you took over Inter Milan, you said you wanted to win at least one championship. Now that you have finally achieved this goal, can you explain why you have such confidence?" asked a German reporter.
"Well, because I am blind." Jiang Mu smiled and played Tai Chi with the reporters.
During the press conference, Inter Milan president Moratti was also being interviewed by reporters. Moratti was very happy with the team's performance. He said: "This championship is really not easy. Liverpool is an amazing team.
Before Jiang Mu arrived, I really didn’t dare to expect a championship this season. I would be grateful if the league could have a Champions League seat. But Jiang Mu changed everything. He is the greatest coach and our players performed well.
Excellent, they have always been like a treasure, but Lippi and Tardelli did not discover them, and Jiang Mu showed them to the world, and they also proved that they are worthy of the jerseys they wear and the fans who support them."
Moratti also looked forward to the next step and next season's goals with full confidence, "We still have a championship to compete for, and the intensity and cruelty will not be less than this game, but I believe Jiang Mu and the players, they will definitely win.
To bring fans a league championship that has been absent for a long time. Next season, we will launch an attack on the Champions League trophy and strive to become the first triple crown in Serie A. This is our ultimate goal. "
After the award ceremony, Inter Milan did not return home immediately. In Dortmund, Inter Milan had more than 50,000 Italian fans, plus local fans, there were at least hundreds of thousands of people here. Inter Milan stayed in Dortmund after the game.
There was a brief celebration, and then he took a special plane chartered by Moratti back to Milan to hold a grand championship celebration with the fans.
Before leaving, Jiang Mu called Yang Chen and apologized for not being able to get together with him. He originally planned to have a cup of coffee with Yang Chen while celebrating in Dortmund, but he was
The reporters stopped me, and in the end I couldn't even take the time to drink coffee.
Yang Chen had called Jiang Mu to congratulate Jiang Mu on winning the European championship. He expressed his understanding that Jiang Mu could not make time to get together. He hoped that after the season is over, everyone can return to China to get together again. Jiang Mu also happily agreed.
It was already two o'clock in the morning when all the Inter Milan players returned to China, but the infatuated fans were still waiting for the team's arrival at Meazza. Then the Inter Milan players and fans held crazy celebrations until the next morning.
At six o'clock, the parade and celebrations came to an end.
The day after the final, Inter Milan became the focus of attention in Europe and even the world's football world. At this moment, the major leagues are not over yet, and the championship competition is still in full swing. The Champions League final will be held in a week, and the UEFA Cup, which will be the first to decide the champion, does not want to
It's hard to be the center of attention.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" wrote "European Champions Inter Milan" on the front page. Editor-in-chief Calabresi personally commented: "Due to the giant battle between Liverpool and Barcelona in the semi-finals, Liverpool was completely defensive in the away game.
The draw with Barcelona was a tactical success, but it turned off the fans' appetite. Therefore, most people were mentally prepared for this game, but the process of the game subverted people's ideas. The two sides played a wonderful game.
In the goal battle, the score of 5:4 became the game with the most goals in the UEFA Cup final. Inter Milan showed strong dominance. Not only did they sweep Serie A, but no one could even block their way in the UEFA Cup. Liverpool was tenacious.
After resisting for 96 minutes, they were eventually knocked down, but it was Liverpool's tenacious resistance that made them the undoubted European champions."
The Italian newspaper "La Repubblica" titled "5-4 victory over Liverpool, Inter Milan ushered in the international era", praising Inter Milan's victory over Liverpool in stoppage time to win the UEFA Cup with its strong offensive power, which is the most exciting for Inter Milan.
A victory that heralds the arrival of a glorious great international era.
Germany's "Bild" believes that this is the most dramatic championship final in the European competition in 46 years.
The title of Spain's "Marca" is "In stoppage time, the 'Red Army' Liverpool won, Inter Milan won the first championship." The article specifically mentioned that Inter Milan was overtaken by Liverpool twice during the game, but the players did not
Showing the slightest impatience, and finally winning the final victory with Vieri's stoppage time just before the end, I think that under the leadership of Jiang Mu, Inter Milan's spirit has undergone unprecedented changes.
French "L'Equipe" even said that Inter Milan's victory over Liverpool to win the UEFA Cup was a game that made fans all over the world crazy. Not only did players from both sides contribute 9 wonderful goals to the fans, but also during the game
It's suspenseful, dramatic, and a feast for the eyes.
Of course, the British media kept finding excuses for Liverpool's loss. "The Times" believed that the red card changed the course of the game, and the referee Visiers awarded the championship to Inter Milan.
"The Telegraph" said that Liverpool should have won their first European championship in 16 years and joined the Triple Crown club, but a red card shattered their dreams.
"The Sun" believes that in addition to the red card, in terms of the quality of the stars, Liverpool is a little worse than Inter Milan. Gerrard is still immature, McCallister is a bit too old, Owen is not as good as Ronaldo, and Ford
Le's condition was not good and Husky was playing catch-up, so the result was normal.
Although the media all over the world are talking about this final, it has nothing to do with Liverpool or Inter Milan. The media is talking about it for the fans. As for the team, they still do whatever they should do. They are only responsible for
Kick the ball well.
