Long live the King of Balls

Chapter 067 Does it have anything to do with us in 1967?

In the second game of the Champions League group stage, the Celtics will face the defending champion AC Milan and a strong opponent. Glasgow's local media are cheering up the team. These days, the media are recalling the Celtics's article in 1967. The Celtics tell everyone in this way that they have Afraid of AC Milan.

The Celtics in 1967 were known as a great try in football.

In 1967, in this year, the Celtics not only made great progress in the domestic arena, but also made great progress in the European arena. In that season's European Champions League, there were strong opponents such as Knant and Praja, and finally met with Inter Milan in the final. The final was located at the National Stadium in Lisbon, the capital of Portugal.

On May 25, 1967, at the Lisbon National Stadium in Portugal, two teams will compete for the final championship. At that time, Inter Milan, known as the "Great International Era", was the strongest time in the history of the Nerazzurri. At that time, the Nerazzurri led by Herrera had won the European Cup in 1964 and 1965, and the Celtics were the first time to reach the European Cup final. In the eyes of many people, the Celtics will definitely lose.

After the start of the game, it also developed as expected, only 8 minutes, Jim. Clegg put down Reinado in the penalty area. Capellini, Celtic sentenced to capital punishment, Alessandro. Mazola scored a penalty, and Inter Milan took the lead by one goal. After taking the lead, Inter Milan actually set up an iron barrel, which is also what the Italian team is best at, because defense is their old industry, and their strengths naturally have to be brought into play.

Inter Milan's retraction made the subsequent game completely controlled by the Celtics. Inter Milan did not even get a corner kick in the following games. The goalkeeper Thomson made only two saves after that, while the Celtics got as many as 39 shots and 13 times by Inter Milan goalkeeper Sa. Erti saved, blocked by the opposing guard 7 times, missed 19 shots, and was rejected by the crossbar twice. But this did not stop the Celtics from moving forward. In the 63rd minute, Clegg, who had previously missed a penalty, passed the ball to Tommy on the right side of the penalty area. Jemel, the latter shot and scored, 1-1, and the Celtic equalized the score.

And when the game reached the 83rd minute, Celtic star Steve. Chamels' shot pierced Salty's ten fingers, and the Celtics reversed the score by two to one. At this time, Inter Milan paid the price for their conservatism, and it was too late to suppress the attack.

In the battle, the score of 2 to 1 remained until the end of the game. On the 80th anniversary of the Celtics, they finally stood at the top of European football. This is also the first time that a British team has won the European Cup, and it is also the only Scottish team's European Cup.

The 11 Celtic players in this game were called the "Lions of Lisbon". Later, the East Stand of the Celtic Park Stadium, the home court of the Celtics, was named after it.

It is worth mentioning that the Portuguese Super Team Sporting Lisbon is also known as the "Lion of Lisbon". In order to pay tribute to the great Celtic team in 1967, the team's uniform style is the same as the Celtics, the same as the green and white stripe.

In 1967, the Celtics League, the Scottish FA Cup and the European Champions Cup were the earliest triple champions, 32 years earlier than AC Milan in 1999, plus the Glasgow Cup and the Scottish League Cup, a total of five trophies. The Celtics have reached the peak.

Glasgow's media told this glorious history in a long way to boost the morale of the team. The Celtics were able to kill Inter Milan, and today they can also kill the defending champion AC Milan.

During breakfast, Zhang Yang picked up a pile of newspapers in the restaurant. His English is average, but it is no problem to barely read.

Gattuso came over and asked, "Zhang, do you understand? What does the newspaper say?

Zhang Yang immediately rolled his eyes. He is a cultural person. Why can't he understand English?

"The Scots talk about their great achievements." Zhang Yang pointed to the 'old' photo in the newspaper, "They are talking about their killing of Inter Milan in the Champions League final in 1967."

Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Gattuso curled his lips and said, "What happened in 1967, does this have anything to do with us?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Zhang Yang also smiled. He can guess that the Scotsman use this long story to cheer up the Celtics. Maybe this can inspire the Celtics to a certain extent, but for AC Milan, the impact will not be too great. They just need to do what they have to do.

At this time, Ronaldo also came to the restaurant and heard the loud voice of a Brazilian from afar, "Oh, oh, oh, Zhang, my love, were you comfortable last night?"

"Get out of here." Zhang Yang said rudely.

Ronaldo immediately made a bitter gourd face, "Don't you love me?" Then he felt nauseous and pretended to vomit and laughed.

The restaurant is also full of laughter. The whole team likes Ronaldo very much. Although in terms of fame, Ronaldo is definitely the most worthy card in the team, and even the most popular Kaka can't be compared with Ronaldo. However, Ronaldo is definitely one of the best guys in the team. Ronaldo, who was born in the Brazilian slum, is not What kind of airs? It's also very humorous and good at enlivening the atmosphere.

If it hadn't happened to see it just now, Zhang Yang wouldn't have thought that this 'alien', who usually always laughed, was so helpless, but so strong.

Zhang Yang has never been as proud and regretted that he regards Ronaldo as an idol at this time.

October 4, 2007, Glasgow. 2007/2008 Champions League match day. Group D, Celtics play against AC Milan at home.

At this time, two hours before the start of the game, fans have begun to gather in large numbers outside the Celtic Park Stadium. Every game day is a festival for fans who love the team to get together to cheer and enjoy the game.

In the eighth final of the Champions League last season, AC Milan played against the Celtics. At that time, at the Celtics' home stadium, AC Milan and the Celtics fought fiercely for 90 minutes, which ended with zero to zero. In the second round, they returned to the San Siro Stadium, both sides In the 90-minute game, it was still zero to zero. Only when it entered the overtime, AC Milan won the Celtics with a long-distance attack that could be recorded in the history of AC Milan.

The Celtics hope to take revenge on the elimination of the top 16 last season by AC Milan with the help of home, but in the previous six confrontations between the two sides, the Celtics have never won (3 draws and 3 losses). Of course, historical records don't say anything.

Therefore, the local media in Glasgow cheered for the Celtics, hoping that their team can win AC Milan at home is not a delusional thing.

There were also many police cars outside the Celtic Park Stadium. The police saw the Celtic fans appear and did nothing. On the contrary, some old police officers who were familiar with the local fan leaders waved to the fans, and the fans also responded enthusiastically.

'John, do you know them well?' A young-looking police officer asked an old police officer who greeted the fans.

"I've been friends for decades." The old police officer named John said, and then he smiled, "Of course, I'm not a Celtic fan. My family is a fan of Glasgow Rangers."

With that, John picked up the walkie-talkie on his body, reported the situation to his colleagues, and saw the surprised look of the young man beside him. "It's not strange. I'm a fan of Glasgow Rangers, but tonight, I'll cheer for the Celtics."

"However, I heard that the relationship between Glasgow Rangers and the Celtics..." said the young police officer.

"The relationship is very bad, isn't it?" John smiled, "What do other Glasgow Rangers fans think? I don't know, but I will cheer for the Celtics today. This is also a Scottish team, right?"

The young police officer ended the topic and said worriedly, "Nothing will happen tonight."

"What are you afraid of?" John patted the young policeman on the shoulder and said, "There is an old grudge between the Celtics and Milan, but it should not be a big problem. It's just a small test. When the Scottish national team plays against the English team, we will be busy."

Although he said so, John, the old police officer, is still relatively alert. From time to time, he observes the situation around him. The temperament of Scottish fans is not very good. Of course, Italian fans are not good at it. The security of this game cannot be careless.

On this expedition to Glasgow, more than a thousand AC Milan fans came to the away game with the team. Just as the home fans began to queue up to enter, on the other side, a large number of AC Milan fans shouted slogans and shouted team songs.

"Okay, let's get to work." John, the old police officer, shouted at his colleague in the walkie-talkie.

The appearance of AC Milan fans immediately made the police at the scene like a big enemy.

After a large number of AC Milan fans passed, the bus carrying AC Milan players slowly came. Under the escort of the police car, the bus passed through the Celtic fans.

The Celtic fans immediately reacted. They raised their middle finger at the bus and couldn't hear what the Celtic fans were saying through the window, but the mouth shape at the beginning of F could be guessed that it was not a good thing.

For this, AC Milan players have gone through a big scene and have been used to it for a long time. They have experienced the most terrible away journey, which has long been tested.

Zhang Yang has been listening to songs with headphones. At this time, he took off his headphones and looked at the Celtic fans outside. He yawned boredly and turned his head to look at Ronaldo not far away.

Ronaldo seems to be a little absent-minded. Zhang Yang knows the reason why Ronaldo is absent-minded. The reason is that Ancelotti has not announced the starting list, and Ronaldo doesn't know if he can start. It can be imagined how eager the 'alien' is to start. It has been more than a year since Ronaldo played the last UEFA Champions League.
