Team Spirit

Chapter 211 From Ninth Tier to Champions League Winner!!!

"A miracle has occurred!"

"The Green Guns have miraculously tied the score!"

"Same face, same jersey, same number, but the Green Gunners had different luck, and the result was different!"

"In contrast, Milan's players seem a bit sleepy!"

"Was the champagne at halftime too intoxicating?"

"For a traditionally strong team, this situation is almost unforgivable. Regardless of the outcome of this match, Ancelotti needs to reflect on this carefully."

In the 62nd minute, Kaká won another free kick in the attacking third.

After Pirlo kicked the ball out, Vidic headed it away.

Gattuso's long-range shot slipped and was blocked by Carrick at the edge of the box; Seedorf then followed up with a shot that went wide.

In the 69th minute, Maldini played a through ball, and Seedorf made a run down the left flank before crossing the ball across the byline.

This cross wasn't very powerful, but the ball had some spin.

Foster misjudged the situation, and after catching the ball, it slipped from his grasp.

Shevchenko turned and chased after the ball, executing a difficult half-turn shot.

Foster had no chance to make the save.

But Toure, who had tracked back to defend, stretched out his leg to clear the ball off the goal line.

"The enraged AC Milan once again took control of the attacking high ground, launching a fierce offensive."

"The Green Guns didn't seem to be in a hurry to fight back; they didn't rely on luck to win."

"They were more cautious than in the first half."

On the field, Lu Kai glanced at Ancelotti from time to time.

Ancelotti really sticks to the same lineup to the very end. Even with Green Gun playing such an incredible comeback, coming back from 0-3 down to win 3-3, Ancelotti didn't make any substitutions.

In the 78th minute, Toure launched an attack with a long pass.

Lu Kai and Fran had a two-on-three situation inside the penalty area.

Lu Kai controlled the ball with his chest and passed it to Forlán.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was fleeting. Fran didn't expect Lu Kai to be so brilliant, and Nesta cleared the ball first.

Seedorf passes the ball to Gattuso.

Gattuso played a through ball to Shevchenko, who had dropped back to receive it.

The nuclear warhead begins its spiral advance from the centerline.

Carrick chased after him from behind and slid in with a tackle.

Shevchenko accelerated in time, dodged the pursuit, and then took on Vidic one-on-one.

He dribbled past Vidic with a change of direction, forcefully pulled Cannavaro over, and then delivered a through ball.

Pirlo surged forward into the right side of the penalty area and cut the ball back to Kaká.

Cannavaro made a timely sliding tackle, getting to Kaká first and clearing the ball.

Dartford made a substitution.

Amorim replaced Barton, and judging from recent performances, Amorim's ability has surpassed Barton's, especially in terms of offensive performance.

Ribery replaced Arshavin.

AC Milan finally had some substitutes starting to warm up.

In the 85th minute, AC Milan made a substitution, with Gilardino replacing Crespo.

Veteran Serginho replaced Seedorf.

Both substitutions were made in their respective positions.

Moreover, both the starting players and substitutes are very capable.

In this way, [Green Field Butcher] provides Lu Kai with four stamina boosts and one boost for defensive positioning, aerial duels, and tackles.

This "summit battle" came at a very opportune time.

In the next few minutes, both sides completely entered the stage of long passes and crosses.

The football kept flying back and forth in the sky.

The two teams' tall players were bumping into each other.

It did not pose much of a real threat.

Ultimately, the two sides shook hands and agreed to a draw during regular match time.

Overtime is about to begin!
“Let’s play high balls!” Lu Kai said firmly. “Stam’s stamina is already exhausted and can no longer support his huge body’s jumping and movement.”

"And Cafu, his physical condition has also declined significantly."

“Maicon, Maldini must be feeling pretty bad right now. Let’s give him another run, test his speed, and see if he has any fuel left.”

Soon, overtime began.

Dartford used their last substitution at the start of extra time.

Crouch replaced Fran.

In addition, everyone was surprised to find that Ribery and Lu Kai had switched positions.

Lu Kai will play as a left winger, and Ribery will play as a right winger.

AC Milan's right-back Cafu had a bad feeling at the time.

Was Lu Kai planning to target him?
Too embarrassing!

Do you really think my title as the world's best right-back is just for show?

This feeling of being treated like an easy target is absolutely awful!

In the 92nd minute, Lu Kai received the ball on the left flank.

Amorin used a quick dribble to change direction, shaking off Gattuso's block before lobbing the ball to Lu Kai.

"Oh! Amorin's pass is very good."

"After he comes on, Lu Kai can get the ball in the attacking third at any time without having to drop back too far."

"That's the difference between a midfielder with excellent ball-playing ability and one without."

"Among Green's players, Amorim is probably the best in terms of playmaking and passing ability, especially short passing. Arshavin and Ribery are a bit behind him in this aspect."

Most teams seek players who can make long passes.

But Green Gunners, to put it bluntly, almost every player has a long pass ability.

Even Vidic has mastered the Long Pass Six Meridian Divine Sword technique in the past two years with Green Gunners, and it occasionally comes true.

Therefore, the ability to pass the ball to teammates when surrounded becomes even more important.

This ability was previously possessed only by Lu Kai.

Amorim, who benefited from the Fabregas template this season, also possesses this ability.

In addition, young Modric occasionally displays this ability, which is part of his talent.

Cafu knew that Lu Kai wanted the ball to attack him, so he took the initiative and moved directly close to Lu Kai to make physical contact.

However, to his surprise, Lu Kai jumped slightly, headed the ball, and took control of the possession.

The two repeatedly bumped into each other during the incident.

The intensity is not high, but the interference is persistent and very physically demanding.

As a result, Lu Kai flicked the ball, sending it flying far away.

He then went to the outside and began racing against Cafu.

At first, Cafu was able to hold his own against Lu Kai.

But after three steps, Cafu's speed slowed down.

Lu Kai, on the contrary, accelerated, getting faster and faster.

"This……"

"Cafu's stamina failed, and Lu Kai finished eating him raw!"

"Cross!"

Crouch heads the ball!

At the crucial moment, Dida made a heroic dive and blocked the ball with one hand.

Ribery was rushing towards the ball.

The ball came too fast, hit his face, changed direction, and bounced out of the penalty area.

Yaya Touré burst into the penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot.

“GOAL!!!”

"Four to three!"

"Yaya Toure's kick sealed the fate of the nation!"

"Ribery delivered an assist with his face!"

"Of course, the most exciting part of this goal was Lu Kai's complete outplay of Cafu. You have to know that Cafu is one of the world's best right-backs."

"Lu Kai really doesn't treat steamed buns like food!"

The camera pans to the Green Gunners players.

To come back from a 3-0 deficit to win 4-0 is a rare feat in the world.

According to the Golden Ball rule, the game should have ended immediately.

Unfortunately, the Golden Ball and Silver Ball systems have been abolished in the last two years.

The game will not be decided until the end of extra time.

Soon, Ribery's face appeared on the big screen.

"In fact, Ribery's assist with his face was crucial!" Huang Jianxiang started to use metaphysics, "The scar on his face increased the friction, making the ball softer and the trajectory more accurate, which led to Yaya Touré's shot and provided a good foundation for the latter's powerful shot."

"That's a face-weighted, spin-enhanced pass!"

An Qi couldn't help but laugh.

Good guy.

This can be analyzed?
In the 94th minute, Pirlo also launched a surprise attack.

From the left flank, a cross with the outside of the foot found Gilardino at the far post of the penalty area.

The latter made a sliding tackle, but the ball hit the side netting from the outside.

This startled everyone, sending chills down their spines.

In the 96th minute, after AC Milan defended against an attack, Nesta played a long pass to Kaká.

The Son of God unleashed a storm of counterattack.

They advanced rapidly with great strides.

He then passed the ball to Gilardino.

After a series of feints, Gilardino, taking advantage of Shevchenko's run, delivered a cross.

Kaka inserted a powerful shot.

The football went into the net.

"GOAL!!! Four to four!"

"AC Milan still has the ability to score goals."

"The game was not dominated by Dartford!"

"The Green Gunners have a youthful storm, and Milan also has young heroes like Kaká and Gilardino!"

AC Milan's team anthem played in the stadium.

This equalizer was hard-won for AC Milan.

Luckily, Kaka was there, otherwise they would probably have become a laughing stock.

"Kaka is still the most reliable."

"It's a real shame that Gilardino has been on the bench for so long."

"Ancelotti's substitutions were a pile of crap!"

"Gilardino should have been on the court a long time ago."

"Actually, in my opinion, Shevchenko should have been substituted. It's not that he played poorly, but that he lacked stamina and was definitely not as strong as Inzaghi at full strength."

"Don't be discouraging. In comparison, the strikers Milan fielded today all played better than Lu Kai on the other side."

"Besides a penalty kick, what else can Lu Kai do? And he still managed to steal Shevchenko's Ballon d'Or. It's infuriating!"

"If Lu Kai can win the Ballon d'Or, I think Kaka can too!"

"Exactly! Our Kaka is too low-key; he's definitely worthy of being compared to Lu Kai. Not to mention Ronaldinho and Adriano, who are being hyped up to the skies."

AC Milan fans have found confidence in Kaká's performance.

It's a pity that they could have shared even a fraction of that confidence with Cafu.

In the 97th minute, Lu Kai calmly received the ball again.

Cafu was furious.

How dare you, you brat!

"Amorin, over here, I'm in a good position!" Lu Kai leaned against Cafu and boldly called for the ball.

Anyone who enjoys playing basketball should know what kind of insult this is.

After others rely on you, they make demands and then treat you as if you don't exist.

Gattuso immediately went to surround Lu Kai.

Amorim delivered a lobbed pass, and Lu Kai headed the ball in.

Lu Kai leaped high into the air.

Gattuso jumped up in front of him, trying to interfere.

His jump had a backward drift, but after hitting Lu Kai, it was as if he had hit a wall.

I don't tolerate Gattuso at all.

Cafu jumped up behind Lu Kai, attempting to contest the header.

But neither of them was as tall as Lu Kai, and their jumps were even shorter.

The three of them formed a shape resembling the Chinese character "山" (mountain).

Lu Kai headed the ball across and flicked it backward.

After landing, they shoved Gattuso and Cafu.

The three of them huddled together.

Have you ever experienced the feeling of running helplessly in a dream, with a group of people chasing behind you?
Cafu was already in this state.

He really couldn't run anymore.

Gattuso suffered a strong impact from behind when he was thrown backward, which put pressure on his neck and caused him to stagger upon landing.

When his ankle was in an uncomfortable position, Lu Kai pushed him again, causing him to feel the force.

The next moment, Lu Kai stood out.

One of Milan's star players fell, and the other staggered.

Stam has no choice but to attack.

As a result, Lu Kai was overwhelmed.

Stam was almost standing still, while Lu Kai shot out in a flash.

The difference in explosive power is too obvious.

Because Stam was also exhausted.

Lu Kai goes solo!

Dida strikes!

Then everyone saw "Ronaldo"!
Lu Kai executed a series of pendulum dribbles, quickly rushing towards Dida.

Dida crashed backward.

Lu Kai flicks the ball to the right.

Nesta seized the opportunity to catch up and blocked the shot with a flying tackle.

Lu Kai scored the first penalty with a chip shot.

He was then tackled to the ground by Nesta.

However, he rolled over protectively a few times and was not injured.

The next moment, Lu Kai stood up.

The whole crowd cheered.

"GOAL!"

"Five to four!"

"The Green Guns have taken the lead again!"

A green wave swept across the scene.

For Milan, misfortune never comes singly. Gattuso collapsed to the ground, clutching his neck with his left hand and his ankle with his right, completely overwhelmed.

Milan's team doctor entered the field to examine the players and shook his head.

Milan had to use their last substitution, with former Portuguese midfield maestro Rui Costa coming on as a substitute.

Compared to Gattuso's defensive attributes, Rui Costa is an attacking midfielder.

The camera then focused on Amorim.

He's known as "Green Costa" and is Portugal's new starting midfielder. Based on his performance this season, he could even compete with Deco for a key position.

Just now, after passing the ball to Lu Kai, he earned his tenth assist in the Champions League this season!
Ashley Young was so angry he nearly vomited blood. He angrily exclaimed, "What kind of lousy Champions League assist king is he! All he knows is passing the ball to Lu! I could do that too!"

I'm afraid my brother will suffer, and I'm also afraid my brother will drive a Land Rover.

Amorim has been incredibly lucky this season; every pass he makes goes in.

With Rui Costa's entrance.

Lu Kai received another boost to his physical fitness and another boost to his strength, jumping ability, and explosive power.

In the 104th minute, Lu Kai continued to attack Cafu, causing Shi Yiyou to retreat steadily.

He was brought down by Costa and Pirlo while cutting inside.

A tactical free kick is given into the penalty area.

Vidic's header went over the bar.

The first half of overtime then ended.

Second half, 109th minute.

Ashley Young also joined the fray.

Because Lu Kai drew a double-team, Ashley Young easily received a through pass from Lu Kai.

He had a chance to cross the ball.

Crouch can jump higher than Nesta and Stam now.

But Ashley Young felt that Lu Kai was more reliable.

So he deliberately waited a moment, dragged Stam over a bit, and then passed the triangle to Lu Kai.

boom!
Lu Kai met the ball with a right-footed outside-of-the-foot lob pass from the left side of the penalty area.

[Beckenbauer-style pass]!
Crouch leaped high into the air.

A powerful header.

Despite his height and strength, Stam was completely suppressed by the skinny bamboo pole.

"GOAL! Six to four!"

"Datford is like an unkillable cockroach, the more you fight them, the stronger they get!"

"Lu Kai was like a god of war in overtime, capable of driving, shooting, and passing, a three-in-one performance that no one could stop!"

"Is this the true value of the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards?"

"Even Crouch's thin figure seemed to become imposing!"

"Time is running out for AC Milan!"

Who could have imagined that Milan, leading by three goals at halftime, would be in such a sorry state now?

"It's incredible!"

Ashley Young was heartbroken when Crouch scored; he looked at Lu Kai with a murderous glare.

You damn well better shoot!

You send me a Ji Ba!
With you doing this, what data can I possibly have?
The final pass?
I'm not a Barcelona player, so this stat isn't valuable; it only circulates in Catalonia.

Ashley Young is about to break down.

Due to suspension and other reasons, coupled with his position, his Champions League statistics this season are truly appalling. He only has one assist.

Keep in mind, Vardy only gets one goal and one assist.

They're really leaving people no way to survive.

How could someone with those stats possibly become the GOAT on another team?

On the other hand, Milan's situation is also unpredictable; in theory, Milan should have hit rock bottom and rebounded.

Even if we don't defend, we should launch a crazy offensive.

However, this did not happen.

After Milan restarted the game, Lu Kai, Crouch, and Ribery pressed relentlessly.

Milan couldn't even pass the ball around in their own half, so they could only kick it long.

Three or five possessions couldn't be converted into an attack.

As Green Gunners got a throw-in in their own half, Amorin quickly approached Lu Kai: "Captain Lu, um... could you please not assist with the pass?"

Ashley Young quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes."

Amorim: "If you pass the ball again and surpass my assist count, my title as the Champions League assist king will be gone."

Ashley Young: ...

Lu Kai nodded.

He didn't have much of an advantage before, so he didn't dare to be reckless. He would shoot when he could and assist when he could. He had no choice.

But given the current situation, fulfilling a teammate's wish isn't out of the question.

after all……

Amorim's natural talent is limited, and his performance this season should be his limit.

Staying with the team won't help him improve, and it will also take up playing time, which might hinder the development of other players.

Moreover, he has leadership qualities and could have become the GOAT on other teams, but he can only ever be the underling of the vice GOAT on the Celtics, which is a waste of his talent.

The key point is that relevant quotes have already been placed on Jiang Mengyun's desk in the past few days.

That's not low at all!
115 minutes.

Green Gun holds the ball.

AC Milan's entire team is tilted towards Lu Kai's left flank; they absolutely cannot allow Lu Kai to make any more impact.

Amorim seized the opportunity and made a wide pass to the right side.

After Ribery received the ball, Maicon made a run down the wing.

Ribery's through ball.

Maicon crosses from the byline.

Crouch ran towards the front.

Toure has just entered the penalty area.

Lu Kai and Amorim are both inside the penalty area.

Ashley Young is on the left flank.

The next moment, Crouch and Lu Kai leaped high into the air, one after the other.

Stam, Nesta, and others didn't jump as high as them.

The key is that Cafu's head behind Lu Kai can only touch Lu Kai's waist!

At this moment, Lu Kai was like a flying man.

boom!
Crouch drew more attention and failed to head the ball.

Lu Kai surveyed the mountains from a high vantage point, and the lion shook its head.

The football went into the net.

“GOAL!!!”

"The goal scorer is..."

In the footage, Lu Kai even had the energy to rush towards the corner flag area, leap high, do a 180-degree mid-air turn, hang down with his hands, and plummet down, like a god descending to earth!
Available throughout the venue:

Luuuuu!

Even among the Green Gunners, many could only slowly move towards Lu Kai.

I can't dance with you.

"Lu Kai is truly a monster! His physical abilities surpass those of Gattuso, Nedved, and Beckham!"

"He really gets stronger with each battle!"

"Congratulations to Lu Kai for completing a hat-trick in the Champions League final!"

"Only three people in history have accomplished this feat: Puskás, Di Stefano, and Prati."

"The records they all completed were made in the 1960s, which means that Lu Kai is the first person to do so in the past 35 years!"

"Even more coincidentally, the last time Platini scored a hat-trick in a Champions League final, he helped his team AC Milan defeat Cruyff's Ajax to become the ultimate champions."

"And this time, Lu Kai's hat-trick helped Dartford defeat AC Milan and become the new Champions League champions!"

"Perhaps this is just history repeating itself!"

"What the Red Guns lost, we, the Green Guns, will win back!"

Ajax: ? ? ?
With the green gun having a huge advantage, Huang Jianxiang was in the mood to joke around with everyone.

Ajax's home kit is red and white, very similar to Arsenal's home kit, and there are even rumors that Ajax copied Arsenal's kit in its early years.

In short, at first glance, the two jerseys really do look quite similar.

Milan fans suffered a devastating blow.

So if we had clarified earlier that we beat Ajax instead of Arsenal in the Champions League final, would you Green Gunners have not come for revenge?

Is it alright to pick the wrong enemy?

Of course, this was just a post-match joke.

In fact, this match had absolutely nothing to do with Ajax or Arsenal.

Beep beep!

After the three whistles sounded, the AC Milan players lay down on the pitch, tears streaming down their faces.

They are not incapable of accepting failure.

But they couldn't accept such a failure.

They were leading 3-0 at one point, which is practically a 60-0 lead in basketball. How could they possibly lose when the Flying Dragons were on top of the game?
result……

Reporters immediately went to interview the Milan players.

Milan's midfield maestro Pirlo looked dazed: "I don't understand today's game. Maybe I should retire?"

Milan's star striker Shevchenko: "This feeling of powerlessness is indescribable. If we can't win like this, I really don't know what to do."

Captain Maldini sighed deeply: "We must have been cursed by the champagne-popping ceremony at halftime, otherwise there's no way to describe what happened in the second half and extra time!"

The once-promising attacking midfielder Kaká's smile vanished: "Before this match, I always thought Shevchenko deserved to win the Ballon d'Or more than Lu. Even Ronaldinho and Adriano were no worse than Lu."

"But now... all I can say is that this year's Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards were the fairest in history. Lu deserves these two trophies more than anyone else."

Nesta was very frustrated: "I wouldn't even be afraid of Ronaldo and Zidane at their peak, because you know where their ceiling is, and you know you have a chance to win."

"But Lu... as the game progresses, you'll find him getting stronger and stronger, until he completely surpasses your imagination. I've never encountered a player like him before, and I don't think anyone can beat Lu Kai in this game."

Gilardino shrugged and said, "That's why I'm hiding the champagne. There's nothing wrong with opening champagne, but as a former Celtics player, I know the importance of 'never provoking Luka.'"

Ancelotti also stated bluntly: "Sign-ups? Strengthening? No, I don't think this AC Milan team is lacking anything. Sometimes you lose not because you're bad, but because the opponent is too good."

"We will still be the strongest contenders for the Champions League title next season. I am confident that I can lead the team to win the trophy, as long as you don't let us run into Lu Kai or Dartford!"

What does it mean to be convinced wholeheartedly?
After this match, AC Milan is completely demoralized.

Major media outlets immediately began vying for headlines.

France Football: "The Miracle of Istanbul! Green Gunners stage a stunning 7-4 comeback against AC Milan!"

Bild: "A comeback from 0-3 down? Milan's midfielder is cursed after popping champagne, while Green Gunners are like a tiger with wings after popping champagne on the field!"

The Mirror: "The first player in 35 years to reach the Champions League final? Lu Kai's hat-trick in the final dominated the entire match!"

Sky Sports: "First ever Champions League winner! Lu Kai's 18 goals in a single Champions League season shatter historical records and are unlikely to be surpassed!"

Marca: "Cafu, Gattuso, and Stam, three top players, have been turned into a road!"

BBC: "Youngsters rise! Maicon completely outplayed Maldini in extra time, Amorin outshone Pirlo, and Crouch made a crucial substitute appearance!"

Dongqiudi: "A battle to become legends, winning the Champions League! The 16th-placed Premier League team dominates all European clubs. It's not that the Premier League is too difficult to play, but that the Green Gunner doesn't care!"

Football News: "The true King of Europe! Lu Kai has won the UEFA Cup, the European Championship, and the Champions League in two years! His luck knows no bounds!"

Various messages pop up, making it difficult to keep up with the flow, but it's never enough.

Even the usually stubborn Catalan media had to temporarily abandon their attacks on Lu Kai.

Mundo Deportivo: "Milan opened champagne at halftime, angering the god of football and incurring a curse! Lu Kai opened champagne on the field, and the god of football mistook him for a squid, so he was exempted!"

Diario Sport: "It's not so much that Green is great, but that Milan is trash! It's not so much that Luka is awesome, but that Shevchenko is useless!"

L'Equipe: "We, Barcelona, ​​can beat Milan like this! Although we only reached the round of 16 in the UEFA Cup this season, that's because we're not used to the competition!"

Coronation!

God!

Green Gun Miracle, One Shot to the End!
This time, the whole world cheered for the green gun.

Dartford's players were also interviewed by various reporters.

Reporter: "Your performance in the Champions League this season has been outstanding. What makes you stand out?"

Ashley Young: "Of course, it's my 365-day-a-year rigorous training, my tireless study of tactics, my familiarity with my teammates, and..."

Reporter: "Excuse me, we've interviewed the wrong person. We're looking for Amorim, the Champions League assist leader."

The reporter went over to Amorin and asked the question again.

Amorin laughed and said, "Of course, it's because I've been doing this every single day of the year... Besides, the most important thing is actually Lu's leadership and Mr. Alfred's supervision. I firmly believe that as long as they lead us, we will not stray from the right path to success!"

Ashley Young is so hateful.

I wish I hadn't shared this acceptance speech with Amorin before the competition.

This bastard!
Arshavin: "Transfer? Let's not talk about that today."

Touré: "It's amazing, nobody believed we could get this far."

Fran: "Even we ourselves didn't expect it."

Crouch: "But Mr. Lu and Mr. Alfred had thought of that."

Cannavaro: "Looking back now, Mr. Lu and Mr. Alfred always demanded of us Champions League-level preparation, training, and rotation."

Maicon: "It's shocking. You'll all think I'm crazy for saying this, but I'm convinced that Lu had this in mind from the very beginning."

Carrick: "Yes, it's that crazy. Lu has said countless times that if we focus on the Premier League, it won't be difficult to break into the European qualification zone, but we have more important things to do this season."

Barton: "I told you long ago, just when you think the Celtics' miracle is about to end, we might just pull off something big. You can underestimate me, or any one of the Celtics players, but never underestimate the greatness of Lu and this team!"

Alfred: "Many people say that we lost Ten Hag, so we failed miserably in the Premier League, which is not true. Similarly, I don't want people to say that we won the Champions League because we lost Ten Hag."

"This is a credit and a source of pride for all Green Guns employees."

"Of course, the greatest credit will always go to Lu Kai. He is the greatest football leader in the world, without a doubt!"

Ashley Young: "Yes, we have always..."

Reporter: "Hey, Lu Kai's here! Go interview him quickly!!!"

The reporters all rushed toward Lu Kai.

Ashley Young was bewildered in the wind.

Reporter: "Lu, how would you rate this match?"

Lu Kai's face was covered in lipstick marks left by Eva Green, Kayla, Ivanka, and Emily: "It smells so good, it's so soft, it's so sweet... it's amazing."

"I'm not kidding, when we were preparing for the match, we thought that AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Chelsea were the three strongest teams in the world this year."

"We were lucky to beat them."

“We don’t want to play against them again, because no one can guarantee that we can win again.”

Reporter: "You were down by three goals at one point, what made you come back? Is AC Milan really cursed?"

Lu Kai laughed and said, "Of course not. Our game against Milan was very close, and being three goals down doesn't mean we're really that much weaker than them."

"I believe our players are just as capable as theirs."

"That's because Lady Luck was on their side at the time."

"But God loves the clumsy. We believe that as long as we keep working hard, we will eventually have our lucky moment."

Reporter: "You covered twice the distance Shevchenko in this match! The rest of your players also covered more distances than Milan. In total, you probably had two more players than Milan!"

"Is this the key to your victory?"

Lu Kai shook his head: "Running is only one aspect. It can indeed bring us some benefits, but excessive running is a drain on the players' bodies. I personally do not support this approach."

"I think it's more about teamwork and the determination to win."

"We didn't give up, and that might be the most crucial thing in this game."

Subsequently, the award ceremony stage was set up.

The Champions League awards ceremony has officially begun.

(End of this chapter)
