We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 149: Three consecutive Italian Cup titles, Palermo's three magical gods (asking for monthly tickets, the fourth team is about to catch up)
On the sidelines, Palermo started celebrating again.

Looking at the way they acted, everyone felt that they were a bit too cocky.

In the 41st minute, Favalli made a cross pass and Veron received the ball and made a straight pass.

Vieri took the shot after a confrontation with Carragher.

He shot from the far corner with superb shooting skills.

Unfortunately, the ball went slightly wide and slipped past the goal.

In the end, the score in the first half was fixed at 2-1, with Palermo temporarily leading.

During the half-time break, Palermo placed champagne at the door of the locker room.

According to the "Serie A tradition", champagne can only be opened when the team is leading by three goals at halftime, but He Tianqi's move was to motivate the players and let them know that they are confident of winning this game.

This action has the same effect as turning around and celebrating in advance after a three-point shot in the NBA. It can be used to show off, or it can make you look stupid.

But He Tianqi was willing to take the risk.

After all, this is the Italian Cup final, and the feeling of losing is not much better than becoming an idiot.

Since this was a neutral stadium, Palermo did not hide anything, so within fifteen minutes, all the staff in the stadium knew about it.

Then word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until even the big TV stations that had spies here found out.

So all the major commentators talked about this matter to the audience.

It also introduces the story of opening champagne during halftime in Italy.

This also made Inter Milan fans very angry.

"It's just a two to one, do they really think they can win?"

"Too crazy! Kill them in the second half!"

"Opening champagne even though there are no three goals, how arrogant!"

"Palermo should not provoke Inter Milan. Inter Milan just can't defend, not attack."

"Just wait and see, Inter will definitely teach Palermo a lesson, they have been too successful this season!"

"Palermo is worthy of being the Sicilian branch of AC Milan. They are asking for trouble!"

Amid everyone's complaints, the second half officially began.

Palermo continued to attack.

In the 48th minute, Grosso cut inside without the ball and quietly came to the left side of the penalty area.

Modric made a cross pass and Grosso's long-range shot shocked everyone.

Toldo made a major misjudgment and failed to save the ball immediately.

Fortunately, the football hit the post and bounced out, otherwise he would be fully responsible for the goal.

In the 52nd minute, Toni and Materazzi confronted each other outside Inter Milan's penalty area. Materazzi knocked Toni down with his hands and feet and received a yellow card.

The two were also teammates in the national team, and both started their careers low and ended high.

Palermo won a free kick in a very good position.

Ribery shot directly at the goal from a free kick, but unfortunately the angle he wanted to shoot was too tricky and the ball failed to get over the wall.

In the 54th minute, Inter Milan launched an attack, and Davis finally made a long shot, but the ball was blocked by Vidic.

Vieri and Carragher had a fierce battle for the ball.

In the end, Vieri fell to the ground and the referee awarded Inter Milan a free kick in a good position.

But at the same time, Vieri signaled for the team doctor to come on the field.

He was injured again.

The former Apennine tank was now injured in a confrontation with England's marginal international player. It was like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog.

Carragher: ???

Inter Milan replaced Vieri with Julio Cruz.

This is a 2003-meter-tall center forward who joined Inter Milan in and played for them for a full six seasons.

He has been a substitute during this period, but his goal-scoring efficiency is very good and he is considered a super substitute.

This free kick was still taken by Mihajlovic.

Ten seconds later, the scene was boiling blue.

"GOAL! 2-2! Mihajlovic scored twice from a free kick!"

"Once the king of free kicks takes a shot, even if there is nothing there, it will become something!"

"The Palermo midfielder might be about to spit out the champagne he drank!"

"I've said it before, Inter is not a team that can't score goals."

After Mihajlovic scored a goal, he called his teammates together. They rushed to the corner flag area, jumped high, turned 180 degrees in the air, like gods descending to earth!
This is Palermo's official celebration.

It has happened twice before.

Inter Milan's imitation is obviously a mockery.

The camera turned to He Tianqi on the sidelines.

He Tianqi just curled the corners of his mouth and seemed a little speechless.

In response to this, He Tianqi said: Our Siu has attribute bonuses, but your Siu just consumes physical energy out of thin air.

Siu's celebration action is definitely one of those that consumes the most energy.

It is equivalent to a hard header.

And how many times can a player make such a rush in a game?
In the 58th minute, after conceding the goal, Palermo continued to press high.

Ribery made an inverted triangle pass after failing to break through in the left area.

Modric's long-range shot was blocked by Mihajlovic and bounced away.

Inter Milan did a good job of covering Ribery's defense today, and right winger Ze Maria played like a right back.

Including Cordoba and Mihajlovic, there are a total of three people defending, and whoever comes on will be silenced.

Modric could only shift the focus of attack to the right.

In the 61st minute, Modric made a long pass to Toure who was on the right.

Toure made a fake cross move to shake off Favalli and passed the ball to Eduardo who was in a good position.

Eduardo retreated from the penalty area to outside the penalty area, and after receiving the ball, he made a diagonal pass to shake off Cambiasso who came to defend.

Then he dribbled into the penalty area and challenged Materazzi.

"Oh! Is Eduardo drunk?"

"The pass just now was so good, why did he have to do it himself?"

"He's just not cut out for that!"

Materazzi had the same idea. It would be too easy for him to steal the ball from Eduardo because he didn't have good footwork.

Especially after getting in the physical position, he was simply trying to give the ball away.

It's now!

Materazzi saw the opportunity and kicked decisively.

He is eighty percent sure of stealing the ball.

There is also a 20% chance that even if there is no steal, Eduardo can still be scared back.

Ok?
Eduardo did not retreat but advanced.

After an intersection, the ball bounced under Eduardo's feet, just avoiding Materazzi's interception.

"He's gone! Eduardo actually went there!"

“This is a great opportunity… shoot!”

"Toldo did a great job! He saved a sure goal!"

"Eduardo's shot hit the upper side of the goal. It was a sharp shot and it was very difficult to save, but Toldo played bravely!"

"And, and...Tony made a header!"

"It's still Toldo!"

"A perfect double save!"

"Incredible!"

"The ball is still within the small penalty area and the crisis has not been resolved."

"Mikhailovic stepped forward to clear the ball, which hit Modric and bounced high into the air."

"Eduardo, the ball is falling towards him."

"Materazzi gave up on Eduardo in the chaos just now and chose to block the ball in front of the goal, which left Eduardo unguarded."

"But the ball bounced behind Eduardo and he didn't have a chance to shoot directly..."

"Shoot!"

"Eduardo turns and hooks!"

"GOAL!!!"

"Eduardo! Passing the ball, assisting the opponent, dribbling past the opponent, and scoring with a back-heel! Is there anything that Eduardo can't do?"

"The Croatian was so brave today! He scored twice!"

"Three to two! Palermo takes the lead again!"

He Tianqi jumped up from the coaching seat.

The pink color around suddenly surged.

Modric even rubbed his stomach and went over to celebrate with Eduardo.

Various commentators have retracted their previous comments on Eduardo.

What the hell is called "biased study"?

He is obviously omnipotent!

What's more, some people directly stated that from today on, Eduardo is no longer the Croatian Inzaghi.

Inzaghi is the Italian version of Eduardo!
Jiuer lost her name.

……

In the 65th minute, Mihajlovic made a through pass.

Martins sprinted without the ball, broke into the penalty area and fell to the ground.

Vidic seemed to have predicted it and made an evasive move in time.

The referee immediately stated that there was no penalty.

Inter Milan's teammates were not in a position to argue for Martins, after all, this dive was really too fake.

It is at the level of the Philippine diving team.

Mancini also seemed to think that Martins performed poorly today and replaced him with Recoba.

In the 73rd minute, Cruz retreated to meet his teammates and passed the ball to Veron.

Veron's long-range shot was saved by Handanovic.

Carragher then made a crucial clearance before Recoba.

His performance today was no worse than Barzagli's, and even better in some aspects.

It is definitely a blessing to have such a high-level central defender, full-back, defensive midfielder and midfielder, whose performance is no less than that of the main players.

Definitely the best sixth man!

In the 79th minute, Ribery broke through the wing and created another corner kick.

Modric took a tactical corner kick and passed it to Ribery outside the left side of the penalty area.

Ribery made a lob pass into the penalty area.

Materazzi focused on defending Toni.

But Vidic jumped up, flew into the air and headed the ball.

Facing Mihajlovic and Cordoba, he used the high-altitude suppression of [Air Overlord].

The football went decisively into the net.

Toldo missed two headers.

"GOAL! Vidic extends Palermo's lead!"

"Four to two! Palermo is closer to the third Italian Cup in its history!"

“Will Inter Milan use Stankovic or Kily Gonzalez to chase points?”

"There was no action, Mancini had no intention of making a substitution."

"In that case, Inter Milan will be in a difficult situation."

In fact, when Mancini replaced Martins with Recoba, Inter Milan's attitude was already clear.

They will invest in the game, but not endlessly.

Players like Stankovic, Kili, Adriano, Zanetti and others must be used in the next league title match.

It doesn't mean giving up the Italian Cup.

No one is going to give up a final.

If Inter Milan gains the advantage, Mancini may use the main players to protect the team.

But we have played the game and didn’t get any advantage, so let it be.

There is no need to continue investing.

If you invest and still lose all your money in the end, then you have lost everything.

After all, Moratti’s target for Mancini has never been the Italian Cup, but the Serie A championship!

It's not even the Champions League. Poor Moratti spends money like water and all he wants is a Serie A title!

Juventus didn't even give this, Moggi really is not a human being!

Afterwards, He Tianqi replaced Ribery, Toni and Modric in the 81st, 83rd and 86th minutes respectively.

Pedro, Van Persie and Mascherano were replaced.

Inter Milan's counterattack rhythm was interrupted in this way, and the players' desire to chase points was completely eliminated.

This kind of intermittent thing is okay once or twice, but if it happens three times in a row, no man will be interested in it.

In the 88th minute, Van Persie cut in from the right and passed Favalli at explosive speed. The young man had no martial ethics.

He then made a wall pass with Eduardo, successfully entered the penalty area, and was knocked down by Materazzi.

The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot!
And Materazzi was shown a second yellow card.

Materazzi was sent off.

Inter Milan's players barely put up a fight.

Whether it was the coach's inaction or the team's past experiences, they were used to these last-minute penalty decisions.

And this penalty is not important.

There is nothing wrong with the penalty this time. What is there to argue about?

The penalties they faced in the league were outrageous.

Especially in a game where the score is deadlocked, if you are given a penalty kick at the last moment, people will be so angry that they want to die.

Every player playing for Inter Milan at this stage has to think about it.

Otherwise, I would have been angry to death.

Because all three penalty takers of Palermo were out.

So the penalty was taken by Eduardo.

Van Persie looked at the football, reluctant to leave, but did not dare to act rashly.

I can only tell myself in my heart that it’s okay, because Robben, Ronaldo, Kaka and other outstanding young players don’t have the right to penalty kicks.

boom!
With Eduardo's powerful shot, the football went into the net.

Toldo thought Eduardo was going to take a small jump step and took a beat longer to react.

But on the Palermo side, He Tianqi has announced within the team that they will no longer use the small jump step as a penalty kick.

The benefits of the hop-step penalty era have been exhausted.

If we continue to stick to this approach, there is a high probability that we will face a wave of penalty kicks that fail to score, and the chance of them being saved may be as high as 70%.

So let everyone play freely. Although it cannot reach the 90% level in the past, the normal penalty kick goal rate is still 70%, which is still acceptable.

A few minutes later.

"Congratulations to Palermo, they beat Inter Milan 5-2 and won the Italian Cup for three consecutive years!"

"Eduardo completed a hat trick! He was named the man of the match!"

"The last hat-trick they scored was by Franck Ribery in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea."

"Every striker on this team has explosive goal-scoring ability. Everyone is a super killer!"

"Congratulations to He Tianqi and Palermo!"

Other media outlets that were paying attention to the game quickly released the news.

Sky Sports: "He Tianqi established a black fan dynasty! Premier League killer Palermo won the Italian Cup for three consecutive years!"

The Times: "Looking ahead to the Champions League final, AC Milan's chances of winning the trophy are not 100%! Just because their opponents have completed three consecutive Italian Cups!"

"Marca": "The false king of Italy, Serie A champion. The real king of Serie A, three consecutive Italian Cup titles!"

Kicker: "Luca Toni won the Italian Cup Golden Boot and Eduardo was elected the best player of the Italian Cup!"

Among them, The Sun, which loves to take advantage of the popularity the most, has recently frequently used some Chinese on its front page, which is a unique practice.

Their headline this time is: "Champion harvester, He Tianqi won three consecutive Italian Cups. After two and a half years of coaching, he won eight championship trophies!"

The accompanying picture is a picture of He Tianqi holding up the Italian Cup, with three big Chinese characters on it - Ba Ding Wang!

I don’t know how the editor of The Sun translated it. Maybe they thought “冠” and “定” are more similar.

And some English fans are impetuous and fanatical.

I will support whoever is stronger.

It's not that this is a bad thing, but it's easy to go wrong.

This time it is.

Some English fans who are not familiar with Chinese culture think that He Tianqi has done something very cool, especially defeating Chelsea, the money-driven football team, and the madman Mourinho.

They tattooed this "Eight Kings" on their bodies to attack Chelsea.

In the future, whenever the two sides have a verbal battle, Chelsea will be silenced as long as they show their tattoos.

Among the fans who did so, fans of Tottenham, Leeds United, Queens Park Rangers and Millwall accounted for the majority. Of course, some fans who were optimistic about the Champions League final upset said that they were ready to get a tattoo of "Jiu Ding Wang"!
……

This year's Italian Cup awards ceremony is somewhat different from previous years.

Because most areas of world football have a similar rule, that is, if you win the championship for three consecutive years or five times in total, you can keep the championship trophy permanently.

Before this, they only kept the trophy for a year and then had to return it.

Of course, they can get a replica of the trophy.

But the feeling of having a replica and the original in a museum is completely different.

This time, Palermo won the Italian Cup trophy permanently.

[Ding! You have won the Italian Cup three times in a row, and received the rewards "King of Italy", "Heel Knock Change of Direction", "All-Around Midfielder", "Basic Through Pass", and "Skill Improvement Card"]

[King of Italy: Legendary skill. You are the undisputed king of Italian football. When facing an Italian team, the strength of the team you lead increases by 3%]

[Heel-kick ball change of direction: a star-level skill. There are many players who are good at this move, and the one who likes it the most is Cristiano Ronaldo. When using this skill to pass the defender, the chance of the defender being knocked down increases. After using this skill to pass the defender, the player's explosiveness and shooting ability are temporarily enhanced.]

[Ding! Mascherano was baptized by honors and promoted from a top five league player to a star player]

[Ding! Ribery permanently learns to run fast]

!!!

Legendary skills appeared!

The name is cool.

The effect is strong.

The radiation range is very large.

"Team strength" is a holistic concept.

It includes the players' strength, condition, morale, the team's tacit understanding, discipline, and locker room relationships.

Therefore, this three percent increase can be said to be quite impressive.

cough cough.

Well, my friends in Milan, I'm not targeting you, I'm talking to everyone in Italy, all of you...

As for [Heel Knock and Change Direction], He Tianqi can only give it to Van Persie at present. Only he and the newly upgraded Mascherano have the star-level skill column.

This typical frontcourt skill can't possibly be given to Mascherano, right?
He Tianqi's use of Van Persie has therefore become clearer.

Mainly active on the wing, relying on speed to make a lot of cuts with or without the ball.

The difference between him and Ribery is that Ribery has the ball for a long time and can make repeated breakthrough attempts, confrontations and organization.

Van Persie only has the right to possess the ball for a short period of time. When the ball is given to you, you will run at full speed. If you can't pass it, you will pass it back immediately. Then you will cut in without the ball and wait for an opportunity to shoot. Therefore, you also have a small part of the finishing right.

But the overall autonomy is much less than Ribery.

This simple style of play allows Van Persie to quickly create an explosive threat.

It would be very explosive to temporarily substitute Ribery, or replace Eduardo on the right and fly on both wings with Ribery.

Next season, he will have greater responsibilities within the team.

[Basic Through Pass] is given to Ribery, who did not have the skill to pass the ball forward before.

[All-around midfielder] is played by Modric.

Don’t worry about whether he is an all-around midfielder or not, it is enough for him to get the bonus of this skill.

In the area between the two restricted areas, the attributes will be improved.

Beep beep!

He Tianqi's phone rang.

He Tianqi frowned slightly.

It was Barbara calling.

After thinking about it, He Tianqi answered the call.

"Hey, Tianqi, congratulations!" Barbara was very enthusiastic. She chatted with He Tianqi for about half an hour. In the end, she couldn't help but mention the next round of the league.

He Tianqi stopped talking immediately: "Barbara, let's not talk about this for now. After all, in addition to being friends, we also have our own identities and we have to be responsible for our own clubs."

"I don't want to give you false information and mislead AC Milan."

"So... I hope this won't affect our relationship."

Barbara nodded happily: "Of course not, thank you for considering me so much."

After hanging up the phone, Barbara was so happy that she was going crazy.

He couldn't bear to lie to me!

He is real to me!

OMG!

Where can you find a man who doesn't lie to women these days?
Barbara then called her father and said that she had not asked anything, and asked Berlusconi not to assign her such dishonest spy missions in the future, as they would affect the future development of her and He Tianqi.

Berlusconi lamented that girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up, but he did not take it seriously.

In fact, Milan doesn't really want to use any tricks.

No need.

It's not surprising to play two real games against Palermo and win both times.

This is Milan in its heyday, almost unrivalled in its strength.

Soon, other media also noticed the crucial battle in the 37th round of Serie A.

Among the five major leagues, only Serie A is still undecided.

Chelsea won the Premier League, Arsenal came in second, Manchester United third, Everton fourth, and Liverpool fifth.

Barcelona reversed Real Madrid to win the La Liga championship, and the Galacticos suffered another heavy blow after being eliminated from the Champions League. Valencia was third and Real Betis was fourth.

Bayern won the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 was runner-up, Werder Bremen was third, and Hertha Berlin was fourth.

In Ligue 1, Lyon continued to dominate the championship, Lille was second, Monaco was third, and Rennes was fourth.

In Serie A, AC Milan has 80 points.

Inter Milan has 79 points.

Juventus 77 points.

Roma 74 points.

With two rounds left, Roma only has a theoretical chance of winning the title.

The club's financial crisis, which should have erupted in the first half, was delayed until this time, which was not easy. It was said that Moggi hired someone to expose the crisis.

With this off-field factor, Roma is out!

Among Juventus, Inter Milan and Milan, Inter Milan seems to have a great chance.

But both Berlusconi and Moggi had calls from the referee, so Inter's final points this season are likely to stop here.

Milan and Juventus have a real chance.

Among them, Milan has a great chance. If Milan wins this round and Inter Milan loses, and Juventus fails to win, then AC Milan will win the Serie A championship one round in advance.

Of course, the probability of this happening is very small.

After this game will be the Champions League final.

There is a high possibility that Palermo will maliciously block AC Milan in this league game.

If any of Shevchenko, Kaka, Pirlo and Nesta is injured, Milan's Champions League will be in jeopardy.

It is also difficult for Juventus not to win, as their opponent is just Brescia, a relegation team that is not very strong.

Moggi will also certainly arrange for the referee to ensure Juve win the three points.

Therefore, the suspense of the Serie A championship will most likely have to wait until after the Champions League final, the last round of Serie A.

Of course, the outside world does not know that Inter Milan, which was only one point behind, has actually been eliminated.

In response to outside attention, AC Milan was the first to make a statement.

Ancelotti: "We won't expect to win Serie A in the next round because we know who our opponents are."

"Palermo is a very dangerous team. They have explosive scoring ability, strong resilience, and a brave, iron-blooded and tough style."

"And they really need to take points from us in this game to avoid relegation."

Ancelotti is taking precautions. According to his idea, in the 37th round of the league, he wants to make half of the rotations to ensure a draw or win.

He didn't want anything to go wrong with his central axis.

Palermo is under pressure to avoid relegation, and He Tianqi likes to attack. AC Milan can take advantage of the situation and win the three points without any bloodshed.

But Ancelotti does not have the final say at AC Milan.

Berlusconi is the one who makes the final decision.

Berlusconi is very good at understanding the opinions of the masses and maximizing their interests while satisfying them. This is an important reason why he was able to become the Prime Minister of Italy.

AC Milan fans have a lot of thoughts about this game.

The cause was that an ID called "AC Milan 20-year old fan" posted a voting post in the community and made an argument.

He believes that AC Milan should concentrate its firepower in the 37th round of the league and defeat Palermo with the momentum of a god descending to earth and kill the enemy in one battle.

Prepare to break Palermo's will in the Champions League final.

Moreover, this league match was held at the San Siro Stadium, the home stadium of AC Milan.

Winning the championship at home, needless to say, the atmosphere is great?
As for the players' injuries, there are two rounds in the Champions League semi-finals, and I didn't see anyone being rotated in the first round, right?
So it is normal that we gave our all in both matches against Palermo.

Don't worry at all.

In the best case scenario, after AC Milan wins the league, the other two teams fail and Milan wins the championship.

After the game, a championship parade was held overnight.

Four days later, after winning the Champions League, an even grander parade was arranged.

The first parade was rather rushed and many people missed it, but I will definitely not miss the second one.

The second Champions League is more meaningful than Serie A, and it is the final celebration of the season with great fanfare. Those who participated in the first one will definitely participate in the second one.

The commercial effect can be imagined.

After two waves of celebrations, who wouldn’t give Berlusconi a thumbs up?
This can still be a topic for winning votes in future election years.

Milan won, but as long as Inter and Juventus performed well, there will be no problem.

The parade could not be held, and many players and fans felt frustrated, and instead longed for the championship and the parade even more.

So is the Champions League more exciting?

And after winning the game, holding a parade, wouldn’t the effect be even more explosive?

With such a dominating momentum, facing the last round of the league, how could the opponents be a match for them?
In short, the two championships complement each other, and no matter how you look at it, Milan has no reason to be conservative.

As for the possibility that Milan could not win the 37th round of the league even if all their main players were on the field, it is too low.

Even if they really lose, it will definitely consume a lot of Palermo's energy.

In terms of lineup depth and substitute strength, Milan is far better than Palermo.

The upcoming Champions League is still a stable match.

On the contrary, Ancelotti's conservatism is unnecessary.

Milan's strength, identity and status must follow the kingly way! The holy way!
There is no need to take the treacherous path!
This voting post convinced the vast majority of Milan fans.

They all left messages saying "win the championship at home"!
Berlusconi thought about it for a long time and happened to see the interview of He Tianqi on TV.

He Tianqi faced the camera with high spirits: "Football is the war in modern society, and when two armies fight, momentum is very important!"

"We have just won the Coppa Italia, becoming the team with the most wins of the trophy in the new century and the only team to have won it three times in a row."

"With this kind of morale, we can't lose to AC Milan!"

"And if we don't get these three points, we will most likely not be able to avoid relegation this season, which is an unacceptable result for us."

"As long as we beat AC Milan once, there will be a second time! And the second time will be the Champions League final!"

"So we take this round of the league very seriously. I have a secret weapon, but I won't tell anyone in advance! Then we will surprise AC Milan!"

He Tianqi emphasized momentum throughout the article, and finally came up with a secret weapon.

This led many Milan fans to advise Ancelotti to be cautious and not be careless.

Berlusconi is not afraid of this. It is unlikely that Milan will fail. What he pays attention to is He Tianqi's emphasis on morale.

The more a person cares about something and the more he relies on it, the more likely that thing is to take away everything from him.

Your strongest point is also your weakest point.

You value "momentum" the most, and believe that it can enable you to fight against opponents above your level. Then when you lose "momentum", you may even be "forced to fight against opponents above your level".

and so……

Berlusconi called Ancelotti.

……

May 21st, the 37th round of Serie A.

AC Milan plays against Palermo at home.

Berlusconi was present at the scene and declared victory before the game.

Ancelotti also said very confidently in front of reporters that they could not control Juventus and Inter Milan from scoring, but he was sure that Milan would win three points!
The Italian Serie A Association also delivered the Serie A trophy to the stadium.

Although AC Milan's chances of winning the championship in this round are very low, even extreme, they still have to make preparations. This is the rule.

This also greatly stimulated the fans and players on the scene.

AC Milan's starting lineup ensured victory.

Shevchenko and Crespo

Kaka
Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf
Maldini, Nesta, Stam, Cafu

迪达
-

The ultimate in luxury!

Also on the bench are strong reinforcements such as Rui Costa, Ambrosini, Pancaro, Serginho, Costacurta and Tomasson.

Except for Inzaghi who will miss all the team's next games due to injury, almost everyone who could arrive arrived.

This is the lineup for the Champions League final.

However, when the starting players of both teams lined up to enter the field, the commentators were dumbfounded.

Toni, Ribery, Modric, Vidic and other players are all sitting on the bench!

The starters were all misfits like Guardiola, Pedro, Di Maria, Ashley Young, Valencia, and Thiago Silva.

Although Eduardo, Toure and Chiellini started, their substitutes Van Persie, Mascherano, Carragher and others were also strong and even if they were injured, it would not be a serious problem.

There is also Barzagli, who returned from injury. He did not play in the last game, but in this game, he obviously came to find his form.

Even the starting goalkeeper was not Handanovic, but Foster.

What does this mean?
Is this your secret weapon, He Tianqi?

What about playing?
For a moment, everyone looked at He Tianqi who was sitting in the coaching seat.

But he himself doesn't mind it and has no shame at all.

With such a lineup, can Palermo win?

In the first half, Palermo just squatted, with eleven players squatting in their own half, and never went out except for counterattacks.

Even in the counterattack, only the three players in the frontcourt cooperated with each other, and no additional support was provided.

That kick was so ugly.

AC Milan fired 17 shots in the first half.

Foster, this nervous player, showed a very high level of performance, making many great saves and becoming the Singapore goalkeeper.

In order to win the opportunity to participate in this competition, he specially learned how to make nasi lemak, which He Tianqi liked to eat recently, and sent it to He Tianqi's office.

It turns out that this trick works!
AC Milan launched a fierce attack but only led by one goal.

Less than five minutes into the second half, Shevchenko showed his strength and scored another goal, changing the score to 2-0 and scoring his second goal.

Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief and asked the substitute players to go out for warm-up, preparing to replace the nuclear warhead, the son of God, the sleeping Kogoro Mori and Pirlo early.

As a result, when he turned around, he found that Modric, Ribery and Toni were warming up on the Palermo side.

There was a huge booing at the scene.

AC Milan fans really don't want to see the Palermo trio appear on the field.

Although they believe in Milan's strength, Palermo is weird!
He Tianqi turned his head and looked at Ancelotti, his eyes full of determination!

In the 70th minute, Thiago Silva brought down Shevchenko and was given a yellow card. He gave Shevchenko enough resistance today. Shevchenko limped after getting up, which scared Ancelotti.

Fortunately, Shevchenko was not injured, but he also had a conflict with Thiago Silva, thinking that the opponent's foul was too reckless and could easily cause him to be injured.

The two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere heated up.

Ancelotti really wants to make a substitution this time.

But He Tianqi called out the three mythical gods "Monibei" to warm up, and kept explaining tactics to them.

From the way he was spitting, you could tell he was ready to score a few goals.

Ancelotti didn't dare to make substitutions first, and waited for He Tianqi to make adjustments before taking action.

As a result, this opportunity lasted for eighty minutes.

"Damn!" Ancelotti knew he had been fooled.

Over the past period of time, the competition on the court has become much more intense.

This substitute Palermo has a spirit of never admitting defeat and has developed resilience through the many losses they have faced this season.

Core players such as Pirlo, Kaka, Shevchenko and others frequently encountered physical confrontations, which consumed a lot of energy.

Pirlo even looked at Ancelotti frequently, meaning that we could be replaced.

Ancelotti is preparing to make a substitution.

Suddenly there was cheering from the stands.

The real-time scores of two other key games were then displayed on the big screen.

Inter Milan is temporarily trailing 0-1.

Juventus is temporarily tied at 1-1.

If the game ends with this score, AC Milan will successfully defend its title and become the Serie A champion of this season at the moment the game ends!
Ancelotti looked at Pirlo: Change now?
Pirlo shook his hands repeatedly, indicating that he could still hold on.

He stayed on the field and was more stable.

In the championship battle, who would like to be substituted?
You've played for eighty minutes, do you still care about those ten minutes?
Keep up the good work!
The players on AC Milan side became excited.
