Chapter 364 The Future
Chapter 364 The Future
Chelsea has performed very strongly this season. After the madman moved in, this former powerful team has turned the world upside down. This can be seen from the Premier League points ranking.
Chelsea broke the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal, and made the former giants Liverpool look up to them. In the Champions League, Chelsea also performed very strongly, passing all the way to the semi-finals.
Just when everyone was surprised that Chelsea would create all their miracles, they unexpectedly came to the semi-finals of the Champions League and fell at the feet of AC Milan, who did not perform well in Serie A this season.
The two rounds add up to 1 goal, and this goal officially allowed AC Milan to eliminate Chelsea and enter the final of the Champions League. This will also be the second time AC Milan has entered the final in three years.
In the matchup between Cagliari and Eindhoven, the two teams staged a crazy goal battle, and finally the score was fixed at 6:1. In the match between AC Milan and Chelsea, there was only one goal in the two rounds.
But no matter what, this is the victory of Serie A. After two years, the Serie A team swept the final again, turning the pursuit of Europe's highest honor into a Serie A civil war.
Two years ago, AC Milan and Juventus entered the final at the same time, and in that duel, AC Milan had the last laugh and won the final championship trophy, and now, AC Milan once again ushered in the opportunity to win the trophy.
However, it is not easy for AC Milan to win the trophy. You must know that AC Milan has not won against Cagliari this season.
But in some aspects, Cagliari has obvious disadvantages, such as youth, Cagliari is a group of young guys from the head coach to the players. Although there are several veterans in the team, half of them have no experience in the Champions League final.
However, no matter what the outside world is, the Cagliari team doesn't care, and even the whole Cagliari is immersed in the excitement after reaching the final.
"GodI actually have the opportunity to touch the Champions League final trophy in the last year of my career." Zola, who has decided to retire after the season, said this.
Speaking of which, Zola's career honors are not small. He has won the Serie A championship, the UEFA Cup, the Cup Winners Cup, and the Super Cup. The only thing missing is the Champions Cup.
"I think moving to Cagliari is the most correct decision in my career," said another veteran Poboski.
As Cagliari entered the final, Li Yi gave the players another day, and on this day off, the four veterans of the team met for a house party.
"Yeah, I really never dreamed of it." Hierro and Guardiola were also deeply touched by the words of Poborski and Zola.
When Li Yi offered an olive branch to Hierro, the Real Madrid captain was being abandoned by his beloved team. Guardiola was even worse, almost had to stay away from Europe.
"Guys, in fact, I have recently been considering whether to retire after the end of the season." At present, the four veteran players in the Cagliari team, Zola and Hierro, have made it clear that they will retire after the end of the season.
"Well, I'm actually considering whether to return to the Czech Republic after the end of the season. If I don't change this season, I don't have any regrets in my career." Although Poborski still has one year left in his contract with Cagliari, Li Yi promised him and wrote it into the contract. He can leave whenever he wants.
Several veterans confessed at the family gathering, while the young players enjoyed the day off with their girlfriends or wives. As for Li Yi, he was playing happily on the lawn with his two children. The uninvited guest Corleone was staring at one side, trying to take one away, and Bellucci was leaning on a leg of lamb on the other side.
"Real Madrid has been contacting me." Corleone tried to distract Li Yi with work.
"Dude Today is a holiday, we won't talk about work." Li Yi didn't give Corleone a chance at all.
Because he knew that Real Madrid had been in contact with Corleone during this time, and with Li Yi's record in Serie A and Champions League, Florentino had already regarded Li Yi as a straw.
Although there are many well-known head coaches in world football, under Hierro's reminder, Florentino found Li Yi more and more pleasing to the eye, and even thought Li Yi was the best candidate for Real Madrid's head coach.
Young and handsome, Li Yi is not bad looking, he can bring victories to the team, has his own hot spots, has a high degree of topicality, and the commercial value behind him is even greater. He has the background of the world's No. 1 big country.
The Asian market has always been a big cake in the eyes of Real Madrid, and Real Madrid has been working hard in this area over the years. If Real Madrid's head coach is replaced by the largest country in Asia, the meaning behind it can already be imagined.
"Then let's change the subject. What is the head coach of Leeds United thinking?" The current head coach of Leeds United will definitely change next season, but it is still uncertain about the new candidate.
This is mainly because of Li Yi. If Li Yi directly takes over as the head coach of Leeds United after this season, then everything is easy to say, but Li Yi has a strong interest in coaching Real Madrid.
In fact, this is also understandable. Real Madrid, the best club of the last century, the Galaxy Battleship, is no longer a cloud of stars, but a cloud of superstars. As a head coach, no one can really ignore Real Madrid's invitation.
"Actually, I have always had a candidate." From Li Yi's answer, it can be seen that Li Yi is indeed very tempted, and has also considered the issue of Leeds United for it.
Li Yi's candidate is actually none other than Guardiola who is considering retiring. In fact, Li Yi had an exchange with Guardiola. Regarding the retirement issue, Guardiola has not yet made a formal decision, so Li Yi has not formally extended an invitation to Guardiola.
The one-day holiday passed quickly and was very pleasant. After breaking two records, Cagliari can easily prepare for the No.30 five-round league.
Perhaps it was this ease that allowed the Cagliari players to let go of the pressure in their hearts, so that they performed very well, defeating Palermo, which has performed very well this season, with a score of 3:0.
Veteran Hierro scored first with a corner kick, then Carus ushered in his first goal of the season, and finally belonged to Palacio. The Argentine striker has indeed performed very well recently.
And this victory also extended Cagliari's unbeaten streak to 60 games, and the winning streak came to 15 games. Obviously, with Cagliari's state, they can definitely continue to expand this record.
But then Cagliari will not be easy. To move towards the Triple Crown, they need to usher in the test of the Coppa Italia and challenge Inter Milan as a guest at Meazza.
