Chapter 510 The Focus of Europe

When the players and the fans celebrated together after the game, Jiang Mu came to the press conference hall of Westerlen Field to participate in the post-match press conference.

Liverpool coach Holior, who lost the game, was not late. He was in the best state in Europe and was known as the strongest Inter Milan in history. It was not a shame for Liverpool to lose 4:5. If you think of AC Milan, who was extremely humiliated, Rome and Lazio, who were slaughtered, and Kaiserslautern, who was beaten into a sieve. Liverpool should be happy.

Hollier, who took the lead in speaking after the game, also told his feelings truthfully. He said, "Many people think I am conservative, but today Dortmund has witnessed a great final. In recent years, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup finals are often dull, and there are not many goals, because both sides can't lose. The giants are all careful, so the game is always in a state of glue, too much into the entanglement of the midfield, but today neither of our teams did so. The 5:4 score exceeded the total number of goals in the last three UEFA Cup finals. Although we lost the championship in the last minute, we lost without regret. It's just that it's too cruel for Liverpool to lose in this way. For any opponent, Liverpool may win the championship.

Hollier then talked about the reason for the failure, "... Our players played not bad. Although they were scored 5 goals by the opponent, I want to say that our defense was not defeated by the opponent. It was that the opponent's ability to seize the opportunity was too strong. In our best first half, the opponent could not in the sports battle. They broke through our goal, but they scored three free kicks. In the second half, we lost one person, and the players' physical fitness and energy declined quickly, giving Ronaldo a chance to break through. Here, I want to complain that Babel's sent off has a great impact on us. For two teams of similar levels, one less person is almost fatal. The referee is a little hasty and strict in this decision. It turns out that Babel's foul on Ronaldo is not enough to get a red card, and a yellow card is enough. Here I have to say that Ronaldo disappointed me. It was his exaggerated performance that led to Babel's end, which directly determined the outcome of the game.

Next, when Jiang Mu spoke, he also admitted that Liverpool had caused a lot of trouble for Inter Milan. "We did not underestimate Liverpool before the game. We even set up a slightly conservative lineup, but the facts tell us that Liverpool is stronger than we thought, and we even lost the championship. Hope, but my players performed very well. They played bravely and smartly under any circumstances. When the opponent led twice, we still kept calm, which was very helpful to our final reversal. I have to praise Ronaldo. Although he played as a substitute, he changed. In the direction of the game, his two personal performances caused his opponent's two conceded goals. Regarding that red card, I want to defend Ronnie. As a player who has been injured for a year and returned to the court, his psychology must have a shadow. At this time, any excessive action will cause him to have a great reaction, so Accusing Ronnie of pretending to fall and acting on his own, he didn't think about it from Ronaldo's point of view.

Jiang Mu defended Ronaldo and briefly commented on the game. "This is a classic. In the next ten and twenty years, he will be mentioned one after another. Some people may criticize that many of the goals in this final are caused by the opponent's mistakes. The lack of exquisite cooperation is not wonderful. In fact, the strength of a team is reflected in their ability to seize opportunities. If it is a waste of opportunities, no matter how many mistakes the other party makes, you can't find a bargain. And what do fans want to watch? I just want to watch more goals! Although both sides attach great importance to defense in this game, the two teams still scored 9 goals in 90 minutes. From this point of view, this final can be said to be great.

Next, when the reporter asked questions, except for the English reporter, most of the other reporters targeted Jiang Mu.

"Why can't Ronaldo start?" The Brazilian reporter raised this issue again.

Jiang Mu was a little impatient and said, "I have the final say on who should play and who should play. As long as my team keeps winning, no one is qualified to let me do this and that."

Milan's reporter asked Jiang Mu if he had ever thought of failure when he was unable to open the situation for a long time.

Jiang Mu replied, "Of course, failure will think that Liverpool is a strong team. They have the ability to beat us, but in the end, we laughed to the end."

The English reporter asked Hollier, "Which player in Liverpool are you most satisfied with and which player is the most dissatisfied?"

Hollier said, "The best must be Macalister. He is a creative midfielder, but many people think he is old, because he is 36 years old this year. He is old enough to kick him out of the Premier League teams like Coventry, but Coventry is about to be relegated, and McLister As you can see, he is not like 36 years old at all. He is fully capable of playing to 39 like Mateus, and with his presence, the young Liverpool team can find a long-lost sense of balance. As for the worst players, I don't think so. The players all performed well. It's just because the opponent is too strong.

The same question was thrown to Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu replied, "I'm satisfied with all the players. You can't criticize a champion player. It's unfair to criticize them, unless I'm crazy. Of course, we also have a lot to improve. A team like Liverpool is like a mirror. He can make us All the shortcomings have been shown. If we want to win more championships, we must continue to improve ourselves.

A Spanish reporter then asked, "Coach Jiang Mu, do you mean that you will buy people significantly next season?"

Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Of course we will buy people. If a team wants to remain competitive, it must constantly buy and sell people. Of course, Inter Milan will not be an exception, but we will not change our blood greatly, it will only make us more perfect."

"What do you think is not perfect enough?" The Spanish reporter continued to ask.

"There are many imperfections, otherwise you won't have lost so many balls. What are the specifics? You will know by reading newspapers and TV tomorrow. Experts and commentators are picking our problems with magnifying glasses." Jiang Mu funnyly avoided the reporter's problem trap.

"When you took over Inter Milan, you once said that you wanted to win at least one championship, and now you have finally achieved this goal. Can you tell me why you have such confidence?" A German reporter asked.

"Well, because I'm blind." Jiang Mu smiled and played Taijiquan with the reporters.

During the press conference, Inter Milan President Moratti was also being interviewed by reporters. Moratti was very happy about the team's performance. He said, "This championship is really not easy. Liverpool is a great team. Before Jiang Mu's arrival, I really didn't expect to have a championship this season. Thank God for a place in the Champions League, but Jiang Mu has changed everything. He is the greatest coach. Our players have performed very well. They have always been like a treasure, but Lippi and Tardelli did not find them, and Jiang Mu showed them to the world, and they also proved that they are right. They can afford to wear jerseys and support their fans.

Moratti also looked forward to the next step and the goal of next season with a hundred times of confidence. "We still have a championship to compete for. The intensity and cruelty are no less than this game, but I believe that Jiang Mu and the players will definitely bring fans a longer-lasting league championship. Next season, we will attack the Champions League trophy and strive to become the first triple champion in Serie A, which is our ultimate goal.

Inter Milan did not return to China immediately after the award ceremony. In Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan has more than 50,000 Italian fans, plus local fans, at least 100,000 people here. Inter Milan stayed in Dortmund after the game for a short celebration, and then took Moratti's package. The special plane returned to Milan for a grand championship celebration with the fans.

Before leaving, Jiang Mu called Yang Chen and apologized that he could not get together with him. He originally planned to have a cup of coffee with Yang Chen when he was celebrating in Dortmund, but he was stopped by the reporters and finally couldn't find time to drink coffee.

Yang Chen has called to congratulate Jiang Mu on winning the European championship. He expressed his understanding that Jiang Mu could not take time to get together. He hoped that after the end of the season, everyone would return to China to get together again. Jiang Mu also readily agreed.

It was two o'clock in the morning when all the Inter Milan players returned to China, but the infatuated fans were still waiting for the arrival of the team in Meacha. Then the players and fans of Inter Milan had a crazy celebration. It was not until six o'clock the next morning that the parade was over.

The day after the final, Inter Milan became the focus of European and even world football. At this moment, the major leagues are not over, and the championship competition is still in full swing. The Champions League final will be held in a week. It is difficult for the League Cup, which is the first to decide the championship, not to become the focus.

"Milan Sport" wrote "European Champion Inter Milan" on the front page headline. Editor-in-in-chief Calabresi personally commented: "Because of the match between Liverpool and Barcelona in the Giants in the semi-finals, Liverpool completely reduced the defense and leveled Barcelona away. Although it has achieved tactical success, However, it has exhausted the appetite of the fans, so most people are psychologically prepared for this game, but the process of the game has subverted people's ideas. The two sides played a wonderful goal battle. The 5:4 score became the most goals in the League Cup final. Inter Milan showed strong dominance. They did not Only sweeping Serie A, no one can stand in their way even in the UEFA Cup. Liverpool stubbornly resisted for 96 minutes and was finally knocked down, but it was Liverpool's tenacious resistance that made an unquestionable European champion.

The Italian newspaper Republiqué, with the title of "Victory Liverpool 5-4, Inter Milan ushered in the great international era", praised the victory over Liverpool in stoppage time to win the UEFA Cup with its strong attack power, which is the most exciting victory for Inter Milan, which indicates A glorious international era has come.

The German Bild believes that this is the most dramatic championship final in Europe in 46 years.

The headline of Spain's Marca is "The 'Red Army' Liverpool in stoppage time, and Inter Milan won the first championship." In particular, the article mentioned that Inter Milan was overtaketake by Liverpool twice in the game, but the players did not show any impatience, and finally won the final victory with Vieri's stoppage time before the end of stoppage time. It is believed that under the leadership of Jiang Mu, the spirit of Inter Milan has undergone unprecedented changes.

The French "Team News" even said that Inter Milan's victory over Liverpool to win the UEFA Cup was a game that made fans crazy all over the world. The players from both sides not only dedicated nine wonderful goals to the fans, but also had suspenseful and drama in the game.

Of course, the British media kept making excuses for Liverpool's loss. The Times believed that the red card changed the course of the game, and referee Visiers awarded the championship to Inter Milan.

The Telegraph said that Liverpool should have won their first European championship in 16 years and become a triple crown club, but a red card shattered their dream.

The Sun believes that in addition to the red card, Liverpool is a little worse than Inter Milan in terms of the quality of the stars. Gerard is still immature, McAllister is a little too old, Owen is not as good as Ronaldo, Fowler is not in good condition, Husky is playing soy sauce, so the result is normal.

Although the media all over the world are talking about this final, it has nothing to do with Liverpool and Inter Milan. The media tells the fans. As for the team, they are only responsible for playing the ball well.
