Chapter 468 Old acquaintance, old rival
Chapter 468 Old acquaintance, old rival
"Carlo is my friend. If I were in a personal capacity, I would warmly welcome him to Madrid, but now, it is definitely not a friendly welcome." Facing the upcoming quarter-finals of the Champions League, Li Yi said in a rare interview.
In fact, as early as before the league, everyone's attention has been shifted to the Champions League. It is really that Real Madrid has too much advantage in the league, and Barcelona itself is not strong enough.
Looking at Li Yi who was in high spirits at the moment, the Italian media present were full of emotions. Once upon a time, the Italian media saw Li Yi's back and were a little bit gnashing their teeth, but now, they miss Li Yi's days in Italy infinitely. Even at this moment, the Italian media felt a kind feeling when they saw Li Yi.
Yes, the kindness of the Italian media even scared Li Yi. In fact, it is understandable for Li Yi to be scared. Who would have imagined that the guy who once hated him and gritted his teeth said sincerely, "Bruce, it's nice to see you."
After leaving Italy, Li Yi almost didn't pay much attention to Serie A, and even his old club only occasionally glanced at it, so he would know the current situation of Serie A.
A pool of stagnant water, no, there should be a shit-stirring stick. Without Li Yi, Serie A needs less vitality, and Serie A itself is rather dull.
As for the shit-stirring stick, it was Moggi and his Juventus. Last season's loss and aggrieved made Moggi's madness and madness this season. After all, a fool like Li Yi is still rare in Serie A.
Not to mention that there is still a so-called "holy alliance" in Serie A. Coupled with the combination of interests, Moggi can be said to be unscrupulous in Serie A, and it has also made Serie A a mess.
Therefore, based on the current situation, it is estimated that the phone call will be unavoidable after the end of the season. Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Yi, and it has nothing to do with Real Madrid.
"Bruce is an excellent coach, and Real Madrid is a strong opponent." When Ancelotti was interviewed, the Italian media and the Spanish media were full of black lines, because they were so familiar with the words, and the Italian media even missed it.
It is said that the Italian media this time looked at the Spanish media with a look of envy in their eyes, and the Spanish media was full of contempt for the strange eyes of the Italian media.
After all, the two had communicated because of Li Yi's relationship, so in the eyes of the Spanish media, the Italian media had a masochistic physique, and they would miss Li Yi, a hateful guy.
The Italian media secretly complained about the Spanish media in their hearts, and even hoped that Li Yi would leave, waiting to see the Spanish media's jokes.
It's impossible for Li Yi to know about the small things between the media. He doesn't know that he has such a big influence. Corleone knows a little bit, but Corleone, who knows Li Yi well, won't tell Li Yi, because this guy doesn't want to see Li Yi slander in front of him.
When Ancelotti arrived in Madrid, Li Yi sent another message, asking him to have dinner with him after the game, but Ancelotti refused immediately.
Because Ancelotti discovered a situation, that is, AC Milan who talked about eating after the game would lose the game. Football is sometimes so evil, so Ancelotti directly rejected Li Yi and warned Li Yi not to contact him again within these two rounds.
The two head coaches didn't have any sparks, and the players on both sides also showed considerable restraint. Even though the AC Milan fans had revenge, they didn't say it out loud.
The stands of 8 people at the Bernabéu were full, and the white ocean occupied more than 90.00% of the stadium, and the red and black could only nest in a small area.
The players from both sides have already warmed up and returned to the locker room, and as the head coaches of both sides, they are waiting in the locker room early, waiting for the players to finish their warm-up
"I know this opponent very well, and I have absolute confidence that I can beat them, so guys, as long as you follow the pre-match arrangements, we will definitely reach the semi-finals." Compared with last season when Li Yi was still in Serie A, AC Milan's lineup can be said to have hardly changed.
Of course, this is almost, not completely absent. Last summer, AC Milan spent 500 million euros to bring Girardi from Parma.
In the league, Gilardino's performance is still good, but in the Champions League, so far the striker has not broken the scoring shortage in the Champions League.
And Li Yi also knew that although Gilardino had a good scoring rate in Serie A, he was not the kind of player who could stand up at critical moments. To put it bluntly, he had the ability, but his ability to withstand pressure was not strong, and the competition was unstable, and it could even be said to be very low.
However, another striker in the AC Milan team is quite good. Shevchenko is currently the most powerful contender for the Champions League Golden Boot. He has scored more goals in the league than Gilardino.
The striker is worth noting, but the midfielder needs more attention. In the past season, Kaka has become more mature, not to mention Pirlo, plus Seedorf and Gattuso.
The defense is the weakest link in AC Milan. Even with Nesta, the best central defender in today's football, there is nothing else. Costacurta, who is on the verge of retiring, Maldini sat on the bench with a slight injury in this game. What's worse is Stam.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defense Carlos, Samuel, Ramos and Salgado, midfielder Franck Ribery, Baptista, Beckham and Figo, striker Ronaldo and Owen, Raul still sits on the bench.
Speed, this is Li Yi's main arrangement in this game. AC Milan's defense is not very outstanding except for its speed, so Li Yi chose the combination of Ronaldo and Owen.
At the reminder of the staff, the players from both sides walked out of the locker room, and soon walked into the court under the leadership of the referee, and then the head coaches of both sides also appeared on the stage.
This is Li Yi's time to fight Ancelotti again in ten months. Although Ancelotti is still the same Ancelotti and AC Milan hasn't changed much, Li Yi is completely different.
Ten months ago, Li Yi led the team that he formed by himself. 90.00% of the players in the team were introduced and brought up by him. Now, he has become the head coach of the number one club in Europe, and the team is full of superstars.
However, in some respects, Li Yi still did a great job, such as uniting the locker room. It was precisely because Li Yi managed the superstars in the locker room that Real Madrid had their current record.
