Chapter 169: Final Opponent AC Milan

"Liverpool dreams of Anfield!" , "Godzilla shoots two shots and one pass, continuing the big scene xiàn!" "Liverpool 2:3 Remayr!" …… The day after the race, headlines like this appeared on the front pages of major newspapers. For the detailed coverage of this game, the content of the major newspapers is basically the same.

For Liverpool, the phrase "leaving with dignity" is widely used to describe their outstanding performance in this game. Among them, the Times even said: "If Chelsea didn't have Remaier, Liverpool would be the team that went to Istanbul." It wasn't so much Chelsea who won against Liverpool as Godzilla who knocked down the whole Liverpool team with his technical skills. And other big media also expressed a similar meaning to the "Times", although Lao Lei said in the post-game interview that this is not just his victory, but this does not prevent the outside world from putting all the halo and praise on him.

Of all these media, the Chelsea-leaning media are undoubtedly the most cheerful. They all say that after the win over Liverpool, the great Chelsea have begun to make great strides towards the first great treble in the club's history. Triple crown, this is a title that can make people's blood boil just by listening to it.

You know, even for world-class giants, the Triple Crown is the highest honor that can be met but not sought, in addition to strength, luck is also essential, and the difficulty of obtaining it is very high. And it is precisely because of the high difficulty that once obtained, the effect is also very large, such as Ferguson, the reason why he can enjoy such a high status and prestige in today's world football is inseparable from the treble won by Manchester United in 99. If Ferguson has won a fortune in England. If he is highly respected in England, the original treble is what really made him enjoy the status of godfather in European football. A triple crown winner. It is also a real pinnacle of Manchester United's 92 generation.

Now in the case of such a huge honor in front of us, only one step away. Inevitably, the whole Chelsea body and all Chelsea fans have started to go crazy. Even the old Ray and Jose Mourinho, who had enjoyed this honour in Porto, could not hide their excitement, compared to the treble in Porto, this possible treble at Chelsea will be truly indisputable and recognized by all the world.

With the excitement of the huge accolade, and the excitement of the huge prize money promised by Abu, the whole of Chelsea is starting to set their sights on the Netherlands and wait for their opponents to emerge. 3:1 With this thrilling score of defeat on the road, AC Milan entered the final of the Champions League with the advantage of away goals. Such a performance may not be satisfactory to the world, but it is enough for AC Milan to pass the test.

"Alright. Guys, go back! Next, our preparations began in full swing. Turning off the TV that was broadcasting the match live, Mourinho said to his disciples. At this time, they were in the conference room within the Chelsea squad.

"It's Italian, I thought I could run into Eindhoven and pick up a soft persimmon! What a shame! "That's right, the Italians are too good at playing this kind of tiebreaker." "I don't know if the Italians will be so 'tolerant' of our defense in the final." …… It's hard to hide the anticipation of the Champions League final. The Chelsea players are ready to get up and leave and are eager to discuss their final opponents, even with just over 20 days to go before the final officially begins.

After all the Chelsea players left, Ray stayed as usual and discussed tactics with Jose Mourinho and the coaching staff. As Chelsea's second manager. Lao Lei is used to doing such things. In fact, he had already started doing this once in a while while he was in Porto. And after Chelsea. This has become the norm.

As the tactical core of the team, he has the ability to understand the tactical aspects of the team. It was collectively approved by Mourinho's team. In fact, even Mourinho often said to his assistant professor in private: "This kid is Reima. I will definitely be a good manager when I retire. It is precisely because of this that when Jose Mourinho was suspended, he naturally became the person who really commanded the team, rather than some assistant coach at Chelsea.

This tactical meeting didn't last long. After all, the opponent of the final has just come out, and there is still a long enough time before the final, so this time the memories are just a few temporary thoughts after watching the game. At 9 p.m., Mourinho called off the meeting and let everyone go home.

After leaving the club, the two apprentices got together and went to London's Chinatown for a late-night snack to comfort their hungry stomachs. Such a warm time of mentoring and apprenticeship, the two often spend time together after the game and in their usual free time. It's just that this kind of time is somewhat "cruel" to Lao Lei. Because as a professional athlete, Lao Lei's eating habits are destined not to be as casual and comfortable as ordinary people. Even if he has systematic help to train himself, he will still be very strict and even demanding on himself in these aspects. Kayla sometimes even complains that she is in love with an ascetic.

This time was no exception, compared to the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of Mourinho, Lao Lei could only endure the protest of his stomach, dealing with the chicken breast, sashimi and a bowl of unsalted consommé in front of him. After vowing more than 1,000 times never to go out for supper with Mourinho again, Lao Lei buried his head in eating while hypnotizing himself to tell him that he had called flower chicken, sweet and sour fish, and spicy seafood soup in his mouth.

Looking at Lao Lei's heroic and righteous "ferocious" expression, Mourinho couldn't help but laugh as before. Facing the smug smile of this teacher, Lao Lei lowered his head, didn't look up at all, and chose to ignore it completely. Based on past experience, he knows that as soon as he looks up, he will definitely get a bigger laugh from Mourinho. This kind of self-deprecating thing is not interesting. Old Ray swore he would never do it.

"Reima, you can eat this spicy chicken. If not for your recommendation. I didn't know there was such a good whole chicken dish in Chinese cuisine. Looking at Lao Lei, who was ignoring himself, Mourinho sent a small plate of spicy chicken to Lao Lei's nose. He even stirred it lightly with his left hand, so that the aroma wafted to the nose of Lao Lei. At this time, if the madman's naughty behavior and expression are photographed, it is estimated that eighty percent of sports reporters and fans will wonder if there is something wrong with their eyes or if Mourinho has a secret clone.

For the outside world, Mourinho's posture may never be seen, but for Lao Lei, he has long been commonplace. Raise your head slightly, and give out a roll of the eyes. He continued to ignore the nutritious meal in front of him. He didn't look up until his stomach was completely full and he didn't have that much need for food.

"It's a shame you can try." After seeing Lao Lei finish his meal, Mourinho still teased endlessly. "Really? I don't want to be penalized for 100 laps the next day. Looking at the unscrupulous teacher, Lao Lei's eyes were white, and then he said flatly. But in his bland tone, there is an obvious trace of "resentment" and "grievance". Speaking of which. Old Ray thought of the Leiria period, when he was still very naïve. The first time he went out for a late-night snack with Mourinho, he was unsuspecting and easily fell for it. Then Mourinho's face, which was still smiling, immediately turned to a thunderstorm. In addition to the harsh reprimand, there was also a lap running task in the next day's training session until he couldn't run.

Seeing such an old thunder, Mourinho smiled warmly in his heart. Then he restrained his smile and stopped his jokes. After a meal. The two of them started talking about AC Milan's opponents in the final.

"Reima, what do you think of AC Milan?" Mourinho asked inquisitively.

"Very strong. There were no weaknesses on all three fronts. Although the back line is older, with the current situation of the Serie A standings, I believe they will wisely choose to abandon the league and focus on the Champions League, so that the fitness problem should not be too much of a problem for them. I have to say, huh, this line of defense is really experienced and outstanding. It's too difficult to knock them out technically, and if we're going to fight them, we should use our impact to hit them, that's the best way to do it.

As for the midfield, this is the most terrifying part of them, they need to have technology, they have to control it, they have to defend it, they have to have impact, there are no loopholes in all aspects, and the comprehensive ability in every aspect is the best in the world. Our midfield configuration may not lose in terms of defense and pressing, and even outperform them, but in terms of technical ability, it is almost a bit far away. I think when we play, we should be more direct and tough, try to play in the midfield, not fight with them.

As for the forward line, not to mention, Shepchenko and Crespo, two of the world's top goalscorers. One is a shooter who can solve all problems by himself, while the other is a cunning fox who is good at hiding himself and killing with one blow, and the two people just complement each other, complement each other, and strengthen each other. This forward line is much stronger than Liverpool's half-hung forward line.

Overall, the whole team is simply an all-star team in Tamar! God knows where they got these people!! ”

Lao Lei said with a serious face. In the end, he even couldn't help but burst out foul, such a team lineup was simply a foul in his opinion. Fortunately, there are many players in AC Milan who are already young and past their prime. Otherwise, Lao Lei would really scold his mother.

Seeing Lao Lei's look, Mourinho smiled slightly, with a look of deep approval in his eyes, this AC Milan team can be said to be a well-deserved all-star team. If Real Madrid is a brainless star today, then AC Milan has completed a reasonable lineup and structure with stars, and the difference between the two is not small. And this is one of the reasons why the current gap in strength between the two teams is so obvious.

"Are you scared?"

"Afraid?! I'm playing on an all-star team! Lao Lei was full of confidence, held his head high, and said domineeringly.

After speaking, he and Mourinho looked at each other, and the two masters and apprentices immediately showed a deep smile in agreement.

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

In the restaurant, the laughter between the two endures.

Amazing! (To be continued......)
