On December 3, Inter Milan challenged Bari away with a full substitute lineup, although the home team retreated across the board, but Inter Milan finally defeated Bari 1:0 away with a direct free kick from Recoba at a critical moment, and won the first leg away, laying the foundation for the team's promotion.
The day after returning from Bari, the city of Milan broke the news again.
With the support of the Inter Milan club, the Nerazzuri took the initiative to donate money and erected a huge advertising column in the square of the new stadium, displaying a huge number of 59 and a victory declaration from Inter fans below.
"From now on, we are the only kings of Milan!"
There is no doubt that this will be a controversial declaration for AC Milan fans, but Inter Milan fans are going to hit their opponents, do everything they can to fight and ridicule their opponents, and it is said that Moratti and Tronchetti donated more than half of the money, plus others, this advertising pillar is built tall and large, which can be clearly seen from the side of the old Meazza stadium.
Especially at night, the whole advertising column is shining, especially the words on it, which are even more eye-catching, even if they are far away, you can see it clearly.
The number [59] above can be changed, and they will continue to refresh the number according to the team's unbeaten number until the team's unbeaten record is broken, and this number will be fixed and become a memento on the new stadium forever.
When Yang Cheng heard this news, he smiled slightly, but he didn't have any superfluous thoughts.
On December 8, the team traveled south to Roma to challenge Lazio away.
With 12 consecutive wins, Inter Milan started a white-hot round with Lazio at the Stadio Olimpic.
Yang Cheng's team also had some deviations in mentality after a record-setting excellent campaign, and the players began to be a little careless, and as a result, they were beaten 0:1 by Lazio in the first half, and Stankovic scored a goal for Lazio.
At half-time, Yang Cheng angrily scolded the players' performance and said that if they continued to treat this game with the careless mentality of the first half, they would become the laughing stock of the world.
Sure enough, in the second half, the team's performance improved greatly, especially in the 15 minutes from the 65th to the 80th minute, Inter Milan set off a round of attacking frenzy one after another, pressing Lazio for a burst of onslaught, and scored by Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nedved respectively, and reversed Lazio 3:1 away, winning 13 consecutive wins.
On December 11, Inter Milan returned to Milan and welcomed Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen.
As an old rival, Yang Cheng knows a little about Bayer Leverkusen, and made detailed game arrangements before the game, making appropriate adjustments in the lineup, and allowing some players to get rotational rest.
With Nedved's brace in the first half and Batistuta's goal in the 63rd minute of the second half, Inter Milan temporarily led 3:0.
But after confirming the victory of the game, Inter Milan once again committed the mistake of paralysis and blind confidence, and in the 72nd minute, a meaningless return pass in the midfield led to a break.

and then caused a goal conceded, so that Yang Cheng almost lost his lungs on the sidelines.
After that, the situation began to favor Bayer Leverkusen, and although Inter Milan was still solid defensively, they were forced to be a little embarrassed by Bayer Leverkusen, but in the end they still managed to win 3-1.
However, as an opponent, Barcelona beat Newcastle 3-1 directly at the Camp Nou, which made them finally equal AC Milan's 10-game winning streak in the Champions League, and Barcelona fans are also very excited about this, saying that they will beat Inter Milan in one fell swoop after the Champions League is rekindled in February, setting a new record.
On December 15, the team challenged Parma away, although they conceded a goal first, but goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Lucio gave Inter Milan an away reversal of Parma and won the first 14 consecutive Serie A wins.
At the same time, the huge advertisement outside the new stadium also turned the number to 61.
Three days later, the home team welcomed Bari, Yang Cheng once again played as a substitute, Inter Milan defeated Bari 2:0 at home, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 3:0.
On December 23, in the 15th round of Serie A, Inter Milan hosted Atalanta, and Ronaldo's winning goal ushered in the opening 15 consecutive wins for Inter Milan at home, and their unbeaten number of games was also increased to 62! ,
It was after the end of this game that the belated Christmas finally arrived, and Serie A also ushered in a three-week winter break, and Yang Cheng and Inter Milan's originally tense emotions could finally breathe a sigh of relief. …………
…………
Unlike Europe, which is freezing and cold, it was a hot month in Australia in December, during the hot summer months.
Yang Cheng was wearing a pair of cool beach pants, sitting on a swing chair in his yard, facing the beach in the distance, and the laughter and laughter from the beach could be heard everywhere, and countless people ran here to escape the winter, and so did he.
Even at night, the beach is still crowded with people, and they want to enjoy some of the heat during what should be the cold winter season, especially those who have just escaped the cold winter.
"You can also go out and travel around!" The pot-bellied Charlize Theron came to Yang Cheng's side, sat down, grabbed Yang Cheng's hand, and pressed it against his smooth face, "I'm already very happy that you came here to accompany me!" ”
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, pulled her to sit down beside him, and the two of them dangled on this rattan swing chair.
"Don't be stupid, you know I don't like to run around, I like to spend a few days quietly!"
Charlize Theron turned her head sideways, resting on his shoulders, both looking ahead, her right hand caressing her bulging belly, her expression full of motherly love, she will be a mother in four months.
This is her dream all along, especially to be able to have a child of her and Yang Cheng, which makes her feel extremely happy.
"Let's go for a walk outside!" Yang Cheng proposed, "Pregnant women walk more, it's beneficial!" ”
Charlize Theron smiled and nodded.
The two held hands, walked out of the courtyard, and gradually walked on the overgrown path to the beach.
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the stars are dotted in the dark night sky, which is beautiful.
"It's really incredible, last night I saw a night of snowflakes falling, but tonight, you see, there are all those shorts and shorts everywhere, and I wonder if I remember the season wrong!"
Yang Cheng took Charlize Theron's hand and pointed to the people playing on the beach in the distance, laughing.
It was snowing in Milan in December, and Yang Cheng flew to Australia on the day the team disbanded, saying that it was to escape the winter, but in fact he came to accompany Charlize Theron.
Since she was pregnant, Yang Cheng came over to accompany her whenever he had time.
Charlize Theron grabbed Yang Cheng's hand with both hands, did not speak, just listened silently, and quietly accompanied him.
She gradually understood Yang Cheng's thoughts, for a man who is busy outside all day, what he needs most is a quiet haven, where he can rest well, recuperate, and have enough power before getting back on the road.
Yang Cheng slowly stopped in one place, saw someone playing in the sea in the distance, and watched with interest.
"There's a bunch of people playing in Zurich tonight!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
It's just that there is a bit of cynicism in his smile.
The group of people he was talking about were Blatter and others from FIFA, and the so-called play was actually awarding awards.
World Footballer of the Year and the World's Best Coach, the former can almost be concluded to be Ronaldo, the latter is much more interesting, almost everyone feels that Yang Cheng has performed almost impeccable in the past year, and should be the winner of the best coach, French football magazine also awarded the best coach to Yang Cheng, but the award ceremony was deliberately delayed to January in order to avoid the award of the World Footballer.
But unfortunately, FIFA still seems to refuse to award Yang Cheng, and it is said that the favorite to win the award is Bosque.
Yang Cheng's good friend is best at winning the Champions League in 2002, and perhaps, FIFA feels that with this, Bosque will be able to defeat Yang Cheng completely.
"No matter what, in my mind, you'll always be the best!" Charlize Theron walked up to Yang Cheng and said with a look of adoration.
Yang Cheng hugged her lightly, and the two hugged silently on the beach.
He didn't really care about the award, he just thought it was funny, because the more they did, the more it would come across as the organization's award was not authoritative at all.
Yang Cheng is happy to see all this.
"When Milan is a little warmer, you can come and live with me!" Yang Cheng proposed. ,
Charlize Theron was pleased at first, but quickly shook her head, "No, I love Australia." ”
She didn't want to cause trouble for Yang Cheng, especially after knowing about his problems with the Italian reporters, she didn't want to cause him more trouble because of herself. Yang Cheng turned his head and glanced at the South African beauty who suddenly became gentle and lovely, and burst out laughing.
Walking slowly forward, to the beach by the sea,
Set sail is unavailable
I found a dry place to sit down.
"What are you laughing at?" Charlize Theron walked over and sat next to him.
"You'd better go back to your old self, I think you've suddenly become so obedient, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
Charlize Theron slapped him a few times, raised her head, looked at the night sky in the distance and the sea, and seemed to mutter, "Ever since I was pregnant, I always felt that a new life was being conceived in my belly, which made me think a lot and understand a lot." ”
Yang Cheng grabbed her hand and patted the back of her hand gently, without saying anything.
Charlize Theron rested his head on his shoulder, and the two of them stared straight at the coastline in the distance.

Taxis enter the Champs-Élysées from the Arc de Triomphe, and along the way you can see a variety of shops, each with its own unique decoration.
One of the most famous streets in Paris has the greatest impression of being neat, with almost no conspicuous signage and advertisements, and an air of retro luxury everywhere.
Coming to the end of the business district, in the distance is the eastern section of the Champs-Élysées on the boulevard, where there are no shops, almost all of them are dominated by natural scenery, that is, at this time, Yang Cheng sat in the back seat and saw a huge poster hanging high in the distance at the fork in the road.
"Melissa Trio, the second journalist to take to the Champs-Élysées!" The driver saw Yang Cheng's actions in the rearview mirror, and introduced him with a smile, "It's beautiful, right?" ”
Yang Cheng nodded, this huge advertisement did take Melissa Trio very beautifully, and at a glance I knew that it was from a famous photographer, but these are not the most important things, what really impresses people is the location of her advertisement.
The most conspicuous area of the Champs-Élysées is not just anyone who can come up.
"She is all our goddesses, brave, upright, and full of a sense of justice, Joan of Arc of the new age!" The middle-aged driver's eyes were full of fascination as he looked at the poster.
"Have you heard of the previous French football earthquake?" When it comes to Melissa, the driver seems to have endless topics.
Yang Cheng nodded, he went out today to do a little disguise and put on sunglasses, so he was not recognized, otherwise, this driver would definitely be depressed, because his first French beauty in YY is not Yang Cheng's rumored girlfriend?
"It was she who initiated it, I heard that there was a mafia at that time to intimidate her, and threatened her with a gun that she could not say it, but she still chose to bravely report the truth of the facts, for which Prince Rainier III of Monaco personally invited her in Monaco City to understand the specific circumstances of the incident, President Chirac also received her at the Elysee Palace, and may even award her a medal."
Melissa Trio found out that they were all big fish this time, not only Monaco team, but also caught the inside story of many professional teams in France suspected of having transactions with the mafia.
It is really rare for a woman to be able to do this without fear of hardship.
"Who was the first journalist to appear on the Champs-Élysées?" Yang Cheng suddenly asked with great interest.
"Catherine Nair, a journalist who dared to challenge President Mitterrand's authority to her face, even attacked President Mitterrand for looking down on women and having a deep sense of male superiority directly in her book, just because Mitterrand joked that she couldn't write a biography of herself."
After Yang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing, he really didn't expect that a French woman would look delicate and have such a side, I really didn't expect it.
"Nair is also a female anchor and journalist, she spent two years writing [Black and Red] related to President Mitterrand, breaking the best-selling record and becoming the most famous woman in France at the time, and her poster also appeared on the Champs-Élysées, and Melissa was the second." After a pause, the driver looked drunk and smiled: "Melissa is much more beautiful than Nair, really!" ”
Yang Cheng smiled, he didn't know Catherine Nair, but he knew Melissa. "By the way, do you live at the Ritz Hotel?" The driver asked.
Yang Cheng nodded, "Yes, is there any problem?" ”
"It's nothing, you go now, maybe you can see Melissa, I heard that they are going to present her with the Albert London Journalism Award at the Ritz Hotel, which is the highest and most authoritative award in French journalism, and only the best journalists can take it."
Yang Cheng had no idea about it, and he didn't know that the prize was coveted by countless journalists in France, just as American journalists aspired to a Pulitzer Prize.
After some introduction by the driver, the car turned out of the Champs-Élysées and stopped at the gate of the Ritz Hotel not long after.
After Yang Cheng paid for the car, he got out of the car directly, and came to the front desk under the hospitality of the waiter.
"Hello, French Football Magazine booked a room for me!"
"Hello, what's your name?" The front desk lady asked, looking at the computer.
"Yang Cheng!"
When the front desk lady heard this name, she immediately raised her head, looked at him very seriously, and laughed, "Hello, Caesar, welcome to the Ritz Hotel," and then hurriedly took out the room card, "This is your room card, luxury suite!" ”
"Thank you!" Yang Cheng nodded politely at her and reached out to take the room card.
"And ......" the front desk lady stared at him with a smile on her face, "I'm your fan and fan, can you sign me?" ”
Yang Cheng laughed and nodded, "Of course it's no problem!" ”
After saying that, he took the pen on the table,
Set sail is unavailable
On the notebook handed over by the front desk lady, he wrote down his name in a smug manner, and wrote a special sentence at the back, "Gift to the beautiful Miss Ritz", which made the front desk lady blush like an apple when she got the autograph, staring at Yang Cheng's back.
"Excuse me, I heard that the ...... is being awarded here today" The name said by the driver was quite awkward, Yang Cheng couldn't think of it for a while, "What kind of journalism award is it?" ”
"Oh, you're talking about the Albert London Journalism Prize, yes!" The attendant pressed the floor number of the elevator and replied.
"Can you go and have a look?" Yang Cheng asked.
"Of course, it's in the exhibition hall on the second floor, I'll take you there!"
When I came to the exhibition hall on the second floor, I saw that in addition to reporters, there were many fans outside, and inside it was full of people from all walks of life who were invited, but Yang Cheng didn't know him.
"That is the French goddess, Melissa Trio, who has just exposed the truth about the mafia's encroachment on Ligue 1, and it was Mr. Amoro, the chairman of the jury of the Albert London Journalism Awards, who presented her." The waiter was very caring, knowing that Yang Cheng didn't know him, so he took the initiative to introduce him.
Yang Cheng stood at the door, watching Melissa receive an award from the balding Frenchman, she smiled and showed her award to the crowd below, and then said a lot of thanks.
After that, under everyone's attention, she walked out of the exhibition hall and prepared to be interviewed by reporters and the media.
At this time, she saw Yang Cheng wearing sunglasses and was surprised.
"Hello, Caesar!" She walked over with a smile.
"Congratulations, Melissa!" Yang Cheng took off his sunglasses and shook hands with Melissa with a smile.
Melissa thought that Yang Cheng had come to see her win the award, and she was so happy, but because there were so many reporters present, she couldn't be too intimate with Yang Cheng, after all, she was no longer the unknown little reporter she was at that time.
"You're staying at the Ritz?" She asked secretly.
Yang Cheng showed her the room card, which also had the room number on it.
"I'm coming to you tonight!" Melissa whispered, then turned around and went over for an interview...... )
