Speaking of the papal curse, it dates back to 1978. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

That year was a year when AC Milan was empty, the league championship lost to Juventus, the Champions Cup was also lost to the opponent, the sworn enemy Inter Milan won the Italian Cup, AC Milan was empty-handed, and was ridiculed by countless fans.

And that year, the previous Pope Paul I died!

This originally had nothing to do with this year's Champions Cup final, but coincidentally, in 2005, Pope Paul II died, which made many reporters move and linked the two things together into the so-called papal curse.

However, coincidentally, Juventus won the league title early this year, and it was also the championship advantage established at the home stadium of AC Milan, and the Rossoneri can be said to have watched their opponents show off their strength in front of them; And in the Coppa Italia race, rivals Inter Milan reached the final again, and their opponents were Roma.

If the death of the Pope alone wasn't enough to prove the curse to return, with Juventus winning the title and Inter Milan reaching the Coppa Italia final, it all seemed to push AC Milan to the opposite side of the curse.

Therefore, when a reporter from an English media threw this question to Galliani, who had just stepped off the plane, the bald man, who was in a good mood, immediately sank his face and scolded angrily: "Don't confuse the two things!" ”

However, as is the custom of the English media, the more angry the interviewee is, the happier they are, because the angry person is always able to dig up more hype gimmicks.

So the reporter of this media immediately caught up again, followed Galliani, stuffed the recorder, and asked: "Then what do you think about the higher winning rate of the team in red in a football match?" ”

This is the data studied by a British university before the game, according to their statistics of the Olympics, World Cup, European Championship and other major competitions, and finally found that in a football match, the team wearing red has a better chance of winning than the team wearing other colors.

Looking at the European Champions Cup final, although Real Madrid, wearing the white jersey, has won the most 10 championship cups, on the whole, the team still wearing red has a better chance of winning.

In this game, the Red Rebels wore red clothes, while AC Milan wore white jerseys, which made many media combine the uniform law with the Pope's curse, and finally came to the conclusion that the Red Rebels won the Champions Cup final!

Galliani was so entangled by the reporter that he couldn't stand it, stopped, paused, and said in a deep voice: "I never believe in any magic spells, any laws, I only believe that on the football field, the winner and the loser are decided by the manager and the players!" ”

With that, he quickened his pace and left the airport.

…… As soon as he got into the car arranged by the club, Galliani immediately took out his mobile phone and gave it to the club's head coach Mauro? Tassotti made a phone call and made an appointment to meet in the hotel.

About 15 minutes later, Galliani appeared in his hotel room, where Tasotti was already waiting.

Although he is a legend of AC Milan, Tasotti is well aware of the traditional characteristics of AC Milan, that is, the emperor Galliani, the wife of the emperor Berlusconi, someone once said that the 2003 AC Milan championship was Berlusconi's starting lineup arranged before the game.

Could it be that at this time, Prime Minister Pei also wants to reproduce the drama of the year?

Or is it to warn himself before the game that he will be forced to go out of class if he loses the Champions Cup final?

Tasotti is not a madman like Jose Mourinho or a tough guy like Alex Ferguson, he is somewhat similar to Carlo Ancelotti in that he is more submissive than his last name, which has also been criticized by many critics for lacking the strength and assertiveness that a manager should have.

But for a manager who can take AC Milan to the Champions League final, no one can doubt his quality.

Watching Galliani push the door in, Tassotti was already mentally prepared for everything, even if Galliani suddenly announced that he was out of class at this time, he would choose to obey, because he had a deep affection for the Rossoneri that no one could understand.

As long as it's for AC Milan, he can give it all!

Galliani politely greeted Tasotti, and then the two sat down in the room, the expression on Galliani's face did not look happy, and it could even be said to be a little serious, which made Tarsotti feel a sinking heart, could it be that the bald man went back to Milan on a special trip, was it just to finalize the matter of firing his own squid with Prime Minister Bei?

Soon, Tasotti discovers that he is not right.

Galliani's return to Milan is indeed to finalize the matter of Tasotti with Berlusconi, but it is not to fire him, but to give him a new contract, which will be renewed for 2 years, and the salary will be much higher than the previous contract.

"Renewal?" Tasotti felt a little incredulous, staring at the contract in front of him, and he could clearly see that his hands were shaking.

"Yes, Mauro, I've talked to the Prime Minister, you're undoubtedly the ideal manager for AC Milan, you're doing a good job here, and we want you to stay in that position."

Mauro? Tasotti suddenly felt a sour nose, knowing full well that this was a move to calm himself down, and at the same time telling himself that no matter what the final result was, the club believed in him.

Before the game, many media said that Tasotti was under great pressure to coach AC Milan, especially from Galliani and Berlusconi, who was hailed as a temporary firefighter, and was concluded by countless media that he would not coach AC Milan for more than 1 year, but now that a season has passed, Tasottti's future has also been put back on the agenda, especially after losing to Juventus in the league competition.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, Mauro, we believe in you from the moment we decide you will be the head coach of the team!" Galliani smiled and relieved.

As a red and black man, he knows very well that it is difficult for a manager to ask too much in the transfer market, and that Galliani and Berlusconi will undoubtedly have the most power in this regard, and all he can do is provide advice, obey unconditionally, and configure the team's tactics according to the available personnel.

As for trust, it is true that AC Milan choose to continue to trust when Tassotti is doing well, which is normal, but once the results are bad, it is believed that Tassotti's dismissal is also inevitable.

'As well as your contract extension, we have also finalised a transfer agreement with the Red Rebels, who are on loan at Benfica's Brazilian centre-back Thiago? Silva will move to AC Milan next season for €15 million, which is the defensive addition you've always wanted! "Galliani surprised Tassoti again.

Thiago? Silva is arguably Benfica's best performer this season, helping the Portuguese side reach the final of the UEFA Cup and win the UEFA Cup in one fell swoop, although it was right wing-back Daniel who won the best player? Alves, but Thiago? Silva is also in the spotlight.

Originally, AC Milan's idea was to pack these two players, but the Red Rebels are serious about Alves, and AC Milan are buying Thiago? Silva, meanwhile, was unable to raise enough transfer fees to buy Alves.

At present, AC Milan's most urgent need is undoubtedly a central defender, although Costa Kuta has performed well this season, but he is not young, and the loss of Stam before the season forced AC Milan to find a partner for Nesta as soon as possible.

Tasotti was touched to learn that the club had met his demands, and he kept reassuring Galliani that he would give his all to help the team win another trophy.

Galliani also encouraged Tassotti and signed him to a contract extension.

…………………… While the news of Tasotti's successful contract extension with AC Milan appeared on the front page of the newspapers, an incident occurred within the Red rebels who arrived in Istanbul.

Right wing-back Colo? Toure has submitted a written transfer request to the club in the hope that the club will allow him to transfer.

The Ivorians have been the main right wing-back of the Red Rebels in recent seasons, but with McCann's excellent performance on the right side this season, both offensive and defensive have made great progress, forcing Collo, who is known for his defensive ability? Toure had to settle for the bench.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with the Ivorians, after all, the competition of the Red Rebels was customary, Kolo? Toure snatched the main position from Bosingwa in the first place, but the blame is on his agent and Yaya? Toure's transfer.

After Toure Jr. transferred to Manchester City, he became an indispensable main force in Manchester City's midfield, his salary more than tripled, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Louis van Gaal. Toure has been slow to make a decision on the renewal of his contract with the Red Rebels.

The Toure brothers' agent is the same, and in the case of Toure Jr.'s move to Manchester City, the agent also wants to take Kolo? Toure has recommended a move to Manchester City, while Louis van Gaal has been struggling with centre-backs lately. Toure has proven himself in the Premier League and although he plays at right wing-back, Louis van Gaal is convinced that centre-back is his best position.

What does this have to do with Colo? Toure himself coincided, and he also hoped that he could perform at central defender, but helplessly, the Red Rebels had the local combination of Terry and Curtis in the central defender position, as well as the likes of Vidic and Chiellini. Toure struggled to get a chance.

Transferring to Manchester City, one can join his brother, two can greatly increase his salary, and three can establish his position as the core of the defense, this series of temptations have forced Colo? It was impossible for Toure not to be impressed, and coupled with the agent's obstruction of renewing his contract with the Red Rebels, the two sides were unable to reach a consensus.

Finally, after Xiao Yu, Mourinho and Colo? After Toure's secret talks, the two sides talked openly and honestly, Colo? Toure formally submitted a written transfer application to the club and the Red Rebels decided to put him into the transfer market.

As the Red Rebels' chief right back, Kolo? Toure has already proven himself in all competitions and is a gem for the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City who are desperate to strengthen their backline. As soon as Toure appeared in the transfer market, he immediately attracted the attention of these teams.

In addition to these teams, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona and other giants have a big impact on Colo? Toure is salivating, but the Ivorian has made it clear that he prefers to stay in the Premier League, and everyone can tell that he is interested in Manchester City.

However, the transfer fee has become the biggest obstacle preventing him from being able to move to Manchester City, as he still has two years left on his contract with the Red Rebels.

For a while, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all rushed to send transfer faxes to the Red Rebels, and everyone knew how difficult it was to poach people from the Red Rebels, even if the players were desperate to leave, but no one would deny that once the two sides saw that the situation was not right, and a new agreement was reached, Kolo? Toure will stay.

In today's football transfer market, where defenders are so tight, Colo? The emergence of Toure has undoubtedly injected a breath of fresh blood into the dormant transfer market of European football, and everyone speculates that the Red Rebels will have to pay a bloody price if they want to poach people from this club.

For the transfer of the team, Mourinho never paid attention to it, and let it be handed over to the Ministry of Commerce to negotiate. Toure was in the squad and, after talking to the Ivorians, led the team to Istanbul, Turkey, the next day.

In addition to club players and Academy players, there are also a number of stars on loan who have followed the team on the road, which has been a tradition for the Red Rebels in recent seasons, having done so in both UEFA Cup finals, and now it will continue into the Champions League final!
