Chapter five hundred and fifty second sincere guests
On the same day that Inter Milan eliminated Chelsea and entered the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United completed a complete massacre at home. They defeated Roma with a score of 7 to 1 and entered the semi-finals with a total score of 8 to 3 in the two rounds.
Manchester United, whose performance has not been very good in the past few seasons, has begun to rise strongly in this way, and their opponents in the semi-finals will appear in the next day's game, as will Inter Milan.
Manchester United's opponent is basically their old rival Liverpool, while Inter Milan's opponent will be the winner between AC Milan and Bayern. Bayern and Inter Milan have met in the group stage and have the advantage, winning one.
The result of a draw will make them the biggest opponent of Inter Milan. Although AC Milan seems to be in poor condition now, if they meet Inter Milan in the semi-finals, then the name of Derby alone will be enough for AC Milan to perform up and down.
Their performance in the league this season is indeed not good, but Ancelotti, a wily man, has taken character building to the extreme this season. They have played weakly in the league, but because of the league this season
The decline in competitiveness still allowed them to squeeze into the top four, and then a group of veterans performed better and better in the Champions League, and finally succeeded in reaching the top despite being underestimated by everyone - even if Inter Milan ranked tenth in the league.
For the first time in several years, they completed a double win against AC Milan. In the Champions League, they will also encounter the most outstanding AC Milan.
The suspense did not last too long. One day later, the semi-final matchup was officially announced. Liverpool defeated PSV Eindhoven 1-0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals 4-0 in two rounds. They will face in the semi-finals.
For the first time, the derby between the old rivals Manchester United and the Red Devils was held in the Champions League semi-finals.
In another game, AC Milan unexpectedly defeated Bayern with two goals in the away game, and entered the semi-finals in an upset. The second Milan derby in the history of the Champions League started again in the Champions League semi-finals!
The first Milan derby in the Champions League was Cooper's second season in charge. At that time, the total score between the two sides was tied at 1 to 1. AC Milan entered the final due to the advantage of away goals, and was eventually led by Dick.
Dortmund was defeated in a penalty shootout at a disadvantage. Now, Dick has come to Inter Milan. Such a semi-final is even more interesting!
This season's Champions League semi-finals are all highlights, not to mention the Milan derby, and there has been a feud between Liverpool and Manchester United from the beginning. The battle between the Red Devils and the Red Army, such a game is enough to attract everyone's interest!
Fortunately, the semi-finals were not held on the same day. The first round was played between Inter Milan and AC Milan at home on April 25th, and the next day, the 26th, was played
Manchester United will play Liverpool at home. A week later, Liverpool will play Manchester United at home on May 2nd, and AC Milan will play Inter Milan at home on May 3rd. As for the final, it will be in May.
Conducted on the 24th.
Before the Champions League, Inter Milan has some breathing space. They will face Palermo, Roma and Siena in three league games before ushering in the semi-finals of the Champions League, although playing three league games in a week is not too much.
It's an easy thing, but Inter Milan's advantage in the league is almost unshakable now. At the same time, they can tie the record of 25 consecutive wins in two more league games. If they can beat Roma, they can get it six rounds in advance.
The league championship will seem to be insignificant compared to games like the Champions League semi-finals, and whether the winning streak can be broken.
Inter Milan's points this season have reached 84 points. Scoring so many points in thirty rounds is enough to prove their power. Although Roma is currently in second place and cannot be shaken, their points are only 60.
Six points, even though they have been winning streak recently, they are still 18 points behind Inter Milan. As long as Inter Milan wins two more games, especially defeating Roma at home, they will be able to securely win the league championship this season.
However, for Dick, he is sure that while winning the league championship and creating a winning streak, he can also ensure that he has more energy to face the Champions League. The overall level of Serie A this season is indeed unprecedentedly weak.
Although it still maintains an advantage in high-end combat power, the middle level has been completely lost. In the Champions League, three teams reached the quarterfinals. As the fourth place, Chievo was directly shaved in the group stage. In the UEFA Cup, Serie A
Teams have also been defeated one after another, and not even one team can enter the quarterfinals, which can prove what the overall strength of Serie A is like now.
This is Inter Milan's luck, but it is the misfortune of the entire Serie A. This is also the reason why Dick wants to leave Serie A. Serie A as a whole will only get worse and worse. He is just a head coach, not the president of the league. Even if he has
There are a thousand ways to bring Serie A back to life, but he will not use it. His experience in Serie A will be his precious asset. However, no matter how good the pavilion is, it is not a place to stay for a long time. Not only because he has always wanted to use an extremely high profile.
He returned to La Liga at a high level because he knew that if he had been coaching in Serie A, his achievements would be hindered by the environment of the entire league.
The current situation is not bad, Serie A is not about to collapse yet, and can still accommodate his growing momentum.
Just three days after defeating Chelsea, and the day after knowing the opponent in the semi-finals, Dick had a guest at his house.
"I'm very busy, I'm busy creating many brilliant records now...so sir, please don't waste too much of my time."
Dick's words were not too polite. Although the young man in front of him met him through his assistant, Dick did not think that this would have any impact on him.
Young Kalduun Al Mubarak frowned. He had long heard that although Dick was very capable, he was very difficult to deal with. Now it looks like he is just like the legend...
So he wasn't going to beat around the bush: "Mr. Dick, I think you already know my name."
"Yes, Mr. Mubarak... I know that you are Mr. Mansour's favorite... but you must know that although Mr. Mansour is one of the top richest men in the world, he seems to have nothing to do with the football circle.
Intersection, if you want to ask me to do advertising or something for other reasons, I'm afraid you can only wait until I'm free in the summer." Dick spread his hands and said.
Of course he knew who the other party was. Mansour was later the owner of Manchester City and one of the richest owners in the football circle. However, hadn't Manchester United just been acquired by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra? These Arabs are looking for him.
What to do?
"You are very well informed, Mr. Dick." Mubarak laughed: "But there are some things you may not know yet... Mr. Thaksin encountered some minor troubles, so he has transferred most of his shares
It was given to my boss, Mr. Mansour, and now our Abu Dhabi Group is the owner of Manchester City."
"What?" Dick was indeed a little surprised now. He knew that the Abu Dhabi Group was the owner of Manchester City later, but it was only 2007, and there was still more than a year before the Abu Dhabi Group took over.
Did they take over earlier?
Seeing Dick's surprised look, Mubarak was very satisfied with the effect of his words: "Our group's goal is to build Manchester City into the best club in the world, so what we need first is the best head coach.
Therefore, we would like to invite you to become the head coach of Manchester City next season. Whether it is transfer fee or personal treatment, we will fully meet your requirements."
At this time, Dick had completely calmed down. He didn't care whether the Arabs took over Manchester City earlier or later. Since Mubarak said that Manchester City now belongs to the Arabs, it must be true - Dick in the previous life
I saw this young Arab on TV. He was the chairman of Manchester City at the time, and Mansour was the boss behind the scenes.
It's just that such an invitation... Dick was really tempted, and the other party who came to invite him was very sincere. As for funds, Dick knew that these guys were rich, very rich, quite rich - maybe in
Manchester City themselves can enjoy the luxury of spending money.
"First of all, my contract with Inter Milan still has more than one year. Secondly, I still have a goal at Inter Milan, which is to win the treble this season, so now I will not negotiate any contract with Manchester City... but I have a lot of ambitions.
I'm very interested in going to the Premier League to coach for two years. If your club can accept a contract of only two years and my requirements, I don't mind becoming the head coach of Manchester City." Dick thought for a while and replied.
"Two years?" Mubarak was a little surprised.
"Two years is enough. Manchester City's foundation is pretty good, and if your group plans to invest huge sums of money, I can make Manchester City the top club in two years. I have this ability, so I am so valuable."
Dick doesn't mind what the other party thinks of him. The current situation is that although he already has a lot of wealth, if he can win the Triple Crown this season, plus the bonus in the agreement, he will already have a cash on hand.
With an income of more than 100 million and close to 200 million, even Inter Milan cannot invest endlessly. There is still a big gap between wanting to acquire Atletico Madrid. After all, it is not enough for him to collect enough cash to buy shares.
Yes, even if you obtain the shares, the subsequent investments and expenses will still be a heavy burden.
Now that such an enemy is here, he doesn't mind going to Manchester City to earn money for two years.
"Also, I get a lot of money from Inter Milan. You know, if I can win the Champions League this season, I can get more than 40 million euros in bonuses from Inter Milan... Regarding this, I
I hope you can be mentally prepared."
"Forty million?" Mubarak was also shocked by this number, but he quickly calmed down - isn't it money? As long as it is a problem that can be solved with money, for his boss Mansour
It's not a problem. Mansour's personal wealth exceeds 20 billion US dollars. Even if he spends one-tenth of it, it is enough to turn the entire European football world upside down!
"I think there won't be any big problem. We are very sincere." Mubarak said to Dick politely.
