Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 210 San Siro Stand

On May 7, 2008, the second round of the semi-finals of the 2007/2008 Champions League.

AC Milan home vs Manchester United. The game hasn't started yet.

In the second-floor box of the San Siro Stadium, Zhang Yang threw himself into the sofa. If AC Milan fans saw their new idol now and what he looked like, he would be stupid.

Zhang Yang caught a cold. He didn't know why he caught a cold. This disease is rare. However, this seems to make Zhang Yang's regret of missing the game because of injury a little better. It seems that God doesn't want to be able to play in this game, um.

"BOSS, please drink water." Miezi poured a glass of boiled water and handed it to Zhang Yang.

When there were outsiders, Mieko no longer called Zhang Yang the master, but now changed it to BOSS. Although this is not as evil as the owner, seeing a delicate island girl call herself BOSS piously, it still makes Zhang Yang have more face.

Mendes has long been used to the plot of Zhang Yang's coquettishness. He sat on another sofa and looked wisely at the court.

The game is being broadcast live on the big-screen TV in the box. Although the game has not yet started, the commentator has been talking endlessly.

"This game is crucial for AC Milan and Manchester United. The winner between them will advance to the final of this season's Champions League. In another semi-final, the second leg has ended, Chelsea eliminated Liverpool, and Abramovic's team got another ticket first. Flores, the commentator of Sky TV, said.

"At the beginning of the season, Abu Movich fired Mourinho and let Israeli Grant take over. At that time, everyone was waiting to see this Israeli joke, but no one expected that Grant could bring Chelsea to the Champions League final!" Rossi said with a smile, "However, I don't think this gentleman can be supported by Abramovich for a long time."

Obviously, what Rossi means is that Grant is just a spare tire after Mourinho's class, just a transition coach. However, no one thought that Grant could bring Chelsea to the Champions League final. This is an unexpected joy, but the spare tire is a spare tire after all. At the end of the season, it is very likely. It may be possible to stay in office unless Chelsea can really win the Champions League.

Not only are the two Italian commentators not optimistic about Grant. In fact, in England, Grant has always been criticized than appreciated. Even if Chelsea enters the final, Fleet Street is still saying that this is the foundation for Mourinho, and the Israelis are just lucky to pick peaches.

An English tabloid even joked that Grant only became the head coach of Chelsea because he listened to the big boss. It was almost said that Grant dedicated his ass to the Russian rich.

In fact, although Grant has been criticized, he is not the incompetent person mentioned by the media. At the age of 46, Grant Koi became the youngest head coach in the history of the Israeli national team. He led the team to achieve excellent results in several games, which made him the most successful head coach in the history of the country. Leading a young and inexperienced team, he kept Israel unbeaten in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, and only succumbed to France and Switzerland to the German World Cup. In 10 qualifiers, Israel had 4 wins and 6 draws. His complete record of coaching the Israeli team is 33 games, 14 wins, 13 draws and 6 losses. This record is very good for this third-rate European national team.

In June 2006, Grant became the head of the football department of Portsmouth. On the South Coast, he played side by side with head coach Harry Redkkup for a successful season. Behind Red Knapp's meritorious service is half of the Israeli.

In July 2007, Grant came to Stamford Bridge as the head of the football department. Just two months later, the Israelis unexpectedly replaced Jose. Mourinho became the head coach. The Israeli coach led Chelsea to the Champions League final and completed the task that Mourinho failed to complete.

Of course, Grant's resume may be good, but in the eyes of English journalists who are used to big-name coaches such as Ferguson, Wenger and Mourinho, it's nothing, and in the Chelsea team, Chelsea stars don't seem to be interested in Grant. In a word, Grant can't stand it.

Hearing the two commentators talking about Grant, Zhang Yang asked Mendes, "What has Mr. Mourinho been busy with recently? He hasn't interrupted his work yet?"

Mendes is not only Zhang Yang's agent, but also Mendes's agent. The most popular stars in the hands of super brokers are Zhang Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco and Mourinho.

"Jose." Mendes heard Zhang Yang ask Mourinho and said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly ask him?"

"Just ask casually."

"He may start a new job this summer." Mendes smiled, "At that time, you may meet him."

"Come to Milan to coach?" Zhang Yang was stunned, but he immediately shook his head. "It's impossible. I haven't heard that Carlo (Ancelotti)'s handsome position is unstable." At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly smiled, "You mean next door?"

"That's right." Mendes nodded.

"Is it settled?" Zhang Yang asked.

"It's seven or eighty percent." Mendes thought for a moment and said.

"That's settled." Zhang Yang knew that Mendes was a meticulous person. Since he said it was seventy-eight percent, it was almost ninety-nine percent.

"It can be said."

"Poor Mancini." Zhang Yang smiled. This is not gloating. He and Mancini have no hatred. However, that's right. Mancini is really pitiful. It seems that the rumors that Mancini will be fired even if he succeeds in defending the league is true.

"Jose mentioned you to me today." Mendes suddenly said.

"What?" Zhang Yang's ears stood up.

"What else can I do? He wants you to come over and help him." Mendes said while watching Zhang Yang's reaction. Although he was Zhang Yang's agent, he knew that his player was very independent. Although he was sometimes a little childish, he was very determined on these big things.

"Impossible." Zhang Yang shook his head, "I've just been in Milan for a year. How can I leave so quickly? Besides, even if I leave, I won't go next door."

This is not what he hates for Inter Milan. However, in the idea of Zhang Yang, even if he transfers in the future, he will not go to the sworn enemy of the team he is playing for now, which will make it difficult for him to do. This is not only for the current team, but also for the support of the fans. It has to be mentioned that Zhang Yang is in Marseille. The fans are very supportive of him and regard him as a city hero. In Milan, although he has not reached that point. Although the senior management still regard Kaka as the first flag, the fans like to show off. The roar after Zhang Yang's goal has long been the victory of the San Siro Stadium, which makes them warm-blooded. Boiling.

"I just mention it casually." Mendes talked about the topic with a smile. What he thought about was indeed Berlusconi's recent remarks. Although Zhang Yang didn't say it, Mendes could feel that this boy was very unhappy.

Mendes was not very happy to say this. He felt that Berlusconi was making a fuss, which was still good. It was a little hard to say, but he didn't have a heart, and he had to be serious with a young player. In Mendes's opinion, Zhang Yang is a young man, and he may act recklessly. However, it is not bad in nature. This can be seen from the fact that both Zhang Yang's mentor Fernandez and the current AC Milan head coach Ancelotti can get along with Zhang Yang happily.

Fernandez is Zhang Yang's mentor. Zhang Yang respects Fernandez. It goes without saying that Ancelotti didn't like Zhang Yang very much at the beginning. At that time, Zhang Yang's perception of Ancelotti was also average. However, after a season, the cooperation between the two was quite pleasant, and some of them were waiting to see Zhang Yang and Ancelo. The discordent media are disappointed.

This may be related to Ancelotti's personality. He is very tolerant of players, especially after contact with Ancelotti and Zhang Yang, he realizes that this young man may be more perverse, but his attitude towards the game and training is absolutely the most basic, which is also what the head coach value most. As for the rest, Ancelotti gradually touched Zhang Yang's pulse. You just think of him as a young man who sometimes likes pranks, although sometimes pranks are a little too much. However, this is not an insurmountable difficulty.

Therefore, Ancelotti's attitude towards Zhang Yang is not tough, but he should say it when he should say it and scold him when he should scold him. When it's time to praise, you may also invite Zhang Yang to his home, which shows Ancelotti's attitude. He can do whatever he can at work, and privately regards Zhang Yang as a junior. This kind of thing seems a little surprised to outsiders, or if you think about it carefully, it's very old-fashioned, but Zhang Yang eats this set. After a season, there is no friction between the master and apprentice, but it is good.

And Berlusconi and Zhang Yang are more serious. In Mendes's opinion, it's just a little too much. As for it. Of course, Mendes also knows that the aristocratic Milan that Bei wants to create, Zhang Yang's perverse personality, and his grassroots background are not liked by Bei, which is inevitable. If there is no Kaka, Zhang Yang's scoring ability and Zhang Yang's strength may win the core position for Zhang Yang, but there is Kaka. The Brazilian golden boy, who is almost the most perfect model of professional players, in Bei's eyes, who is suitable to be the core and who is the first flag star promoted by the team is obvious. Zhang Yang doesn't mean that Zhang Yang is not as good as Kaka. It mainly depends on the preferences of the big boss.

Although Zhang Yang did not show his intention to leave AC Milan, as an agent, Mendes must consider all kinds of possibilities, and he has to plan ahead.

Just now, Mendes suddenly said that Mourinho was going to Inter Milan, which was also a temptation. He wanted to see Zhang Yang's attitude.

Now it seems that Zhang Yang may not have the intention of leaving Milan, but it doesn't seem to be as repulsive as before.

Does this boy also realize that even if he has all kinds of skills, he is unlikely to be a big boss?

At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the stands of San Siro Stadium, which was the appearance of the players from both sides. Zhang Yang also stood up and applauded. Today, he was absent due to injury. He felt that he felt a little guilty that the team could not fight on the court when he needed him. At this moment, all he could do was cheer for his teammates in the stands.

In this game, Zhang Yang was absent due to injury. Ancelotti sent veteran Inzaghi on the front line, taking a single-forward formation.

In the midfield, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Ambrosini and Brochi started.

On the back line, the right back is Cafu, the central defender is the partner of Nesta and Simic, and the left back is the old captain Maldini.

Nesta's comeback from injury is the best news for AC Milan fans after Zhang Yang's injury and absence from the game.

"It's just from AC Milan's starting list that Ancelotti is going to defend this game." As a 'super agent', Mendes certainly knows the ball very well. Ancelotti only has one striker in Inzaghi, with three blue-collar workers, Gattuso and Brochi and Ambrosini in the midfield. This is to fight with Manchester United in the midfield to stop Manchester United's offensive.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything. He didn't think so much about whether it was attacking or defending. This is what the head coach considered. What he is thinking now is that he can't fight on the court in person and personally fight for the tickets for the Champions League finals. It's really a pity in life.

PS: The first update. The pig's head rolled for collection and red tickets.
