magic coach

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

The losing Liverpool coach Houllier was not late. Facing the best state in Europe and known as the strongest Inter Milan in history, Liverpool's 4:5 loss is not a shame. If you think about the extremely humiliated AC Milan, think of Rome and Lazio who were slaughtered, and Kaiserslautern who were beaten into a sieve, Liverpool should be happy.

Houllier, who was the first to speak after the game, also truthfully talked about his feelings. He said: "Many people think I am conservative, but today Dortmund witnessed a great final. In recent years, the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup finals Often the scenes are dull and there are not many goals, because both teams are rich teams that cannot lose, and everyone is cautious, so the game is always in a stalemate, and too many entanglements in the midfield, but today our two teams The team didn't do that. The score of 5:4 surpassed the total goals of the last three UEFA Cup finals. Although we lost the championship in the last minute, we lost without regret. It's just that Liverpool lost in this way It's too cruel, Liverpool could win the title with any opponent."

Houllier went on to talk about the reasons for the failure, "...our players did not perform badly. Although the opponent scored 5 goals, I would say that our defense was not defeated by the opponent. The ability of chance is too strong. In our best first half, the opponent could not break through our goal in the open battle, but they scored three times through free kicks. In the second half, we lost one player, and the physical and mental strength of the players dropped a lot. Come on, give Ronaldo a chance to break through personally. Here, I want to complain that Babel's sending off has a great impact on us. For two teams with similar levels, one less person is almost fatal. The referee This penalty is a bit sloppy and harsh. Facts have proved that Babel's foul on Ronaldo is not enough to get a red card. A yellow card is enough. Here I have to say that Ronaldo disappointed me. It was his exaggerated performance It led to Babel's end, which directly determined the outcome of the game."

When Jiang Mu spoke next, he also admitted that Liverpool caused a lot of trouble for Inter Milan, "We did not underestimate Liverpool before the game, and we even formed a slightly conservative lineup, but the facts tell us that Liverpool is better than we imagined. We even lost hope of winning the championship for a while, but my players performed very well. They played bravely and smartly no matter what the situation. When the opponent took the lead twice, we still maintained Keep calm, which is of great help to our final reversal. I have to praise Ronaldo. Although he came off the bench, he changed the direction of the game. His two personal performances caused the opponent to concede twice. About I want to defend Ronnie for that red card. As a player who returned to the court after being injured for a year, his psychology must have been affected. At this time, any excessive movement will cause him to react greatly , so accusing Ronnie of diving and acting is based on his own judgment, and he didn't think about it from Ronaldo's standpoint."

After Jiang Mu defended Ronaldo, he briefly commented on the game, "This is a classic, and he will be mentioned one after another in the next ten or 20 years. Some people may criticize this final. A lot of goals are caused by taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes. The goal itself lacks exquisite coordination, so it is not wonderful. In fact, the strength of a team is reflected in their ability to seize opportunities. If opportunities are wasted, no matter how many opponents make mistakes , you can’t get cheap. And what do the fans want to watch? They just want to see more goals! Although both sides paid great attention to defense in this game, the two teams still separated in 90 minutes Score nine goals, and from that 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 aimed at Jiang Mu.

"Why can't Ronaldo start?" The Brazilian reporter mentioned this question again.

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

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

Jiang Mu replied: "Of course I will think about failure. Liverpool is a strong team and they have the ability to beat us. However, in the end we still had the last laugh."

The England reporter asked Houllier: "Which Liverpool player are you most satisfied with and which player are you least satisfied with?"

Houllier said: "The best thing is definitely McAllister, he is a creative midfielder, but many people think he is old, because he is 36 years old this year, so old The bottom of the Premier League team like Coventry kicked him out, but Coventry is about to be relegated, and you have seen McAllister's performance, he is not like 36 years old at all, he is fully capable Play like Matthaus until 39 years old, and with his presence, the young Liverpool team can find a long-lost sense of balance. As for the worst player, I don't think there is any, the players are doing well. The loss is only because of the opponent Too powerful."

The same question was thrown to Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu replied: "I am satisfied with all the players. It is impossible for you to criticize a champion player. It is unfair to criticize them unless I am crazy. Of course, we also have many needs. For improvement, a team like Liverpool is like a mirror, he can show all our shortcomings, we must continue to improve ourselves if we want to win more championships."

A Spanish reporter then asked: "Coach Jiang Mu, do you mean that you will make a substantial purchase next season?"

Jiang Mu smiled and said: "Of course we will buy people. If a team wants to maintain its competitiveness, it must continue to buy and sell people. Inter Milan is of course no exception, but we will not make a big change, it will only make us stronger. Perfect."

"Which places do you think are not perfect?" The Spanish reporter continued to ask.

"There are a lot of imperfections, otherwise we wouldn't have conceded so many goals. Tomorrow, we'll find out the specific places by reading the newspapers and TV. Experts and commentators are picking on our problems with magnifying glasses." Jiang Mu is funny Avoid the reporter's question trap.

"When you took over Inter Milan, you said you wanted to win at least one championship. Now that you have finally achieved this goal, can you explain why you have such confidence?" a German reporter asked.

"Um, because of blindness." Jiang Mu smiled and played Tai Chi with the reporters.

During the press conference, Inter Milan chairman Moratti was also being interviewed by reporters. Moratti was very happy with the team's performance. He said: "This championship is really not easy. Liverpool is a great team. Before Jiang Mu came, I really didn't dare to expect to have a championship this season. Thank God for the league to have a place in the Champions League, but Jiang Mu changed everything. He is the greatest coach. Our players performed well. Very good, they have always been like a treasure, but neither Lippi nor Tardelli found them, and Jiang Mu showed them to the world, and they also proved that they are worthy of the jerseys on their bodies and the fans who support them. "

Moratti also looked forward to the next step and the goal of the next season with full confidence, "We still have a championship to fight for, and the intensity and cruelty will not be less than this game, but I believe that Jiang Mu and the players will definitely win the championship." To bring fans a long-awaited league championship. Next season, we will attack the Champions League trophy and strive to become the first Serie A triple crown. This is our ultimate goal.”

After the awards ceremony, Inter Milan did not return home immediately. In Dortmund, Inter Milan has more than 10,000 fans from Italy. Including local fans, there are at least [-]+ people here. Inter Milan stayed in Dortmund after the game. After a brief celebration, he took the special plane chartered by Moratti back to Milan and had a grand championship celebration with the fans.

Before leaving, Jiang Mu called Yang Chen and apologized for not being able to get together with him. He originally planned to have a cup of coffee with Yang Chen by himself while celebrating in Dortmund, but was rejected The reporters stopped him, and finally didn't have time to drink coffee.

Yang Chen had already called to congratulate Jiang Mu on winning the European Championship. He expressed his understanding that Jiang Mu couldn't take time to get together, and hoped that after the end of the season, everyone would come back to China and get together again. Jiang Mu also readily agreed.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when all the Inter Milan players returned to China, but the infatuated fans were still waiting for the team's arrival at Meazza, and then the Inter Milan players and fans carried out crazy celebrations until the next morning At six o'clock, the parade and celebration activities were declared over.

On the second day after the final, Inter Milan became the focus of European and even world football.At this moment, the major leagues have not yet ended, the championship competition is still in full swing, and the Champions League final will be held in a week.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" wrote "European Champions Inter Milan" on the front page headline, and the editor-in-chief Calabresi wrote a comment in person: "Due to the giant battle between Liverpool and Barcelona in the semi-finals, Liverpool completely shrank defensively in the away game. The draw against Barcelona, ​​although a tactical success, has exhausted the appetite of the fans, so most people are mentally prepared for this game, but the process of the game subverted people's thinking, and the two sides played brilliantly The score of 5:4 became the game with the most goals in the UEFA Cup final. Inter Milan showed a strong dominance. Not only did they sweep Serie A, even the UEFA Cup no one could block their way. Liverpool He resisted tenaciously for 96 minutes and was finally knocked down, but it was Liverpool's tenacious resistance that made a team the undisputed European champions."

The Italian "Repubblica" with the title "5 to 4 victory over Liverpool, Inter Milan ushered in the era of the big international", praised this time with its strong attack power, it was the most exciting for Inter Milan to beat Liverpool in stoppage time and win the UEFA Cup. A victory, it heralds a glorious big international era has come.

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

The title of the Spanish "Marca" is "In stoppage time lore 'Red Army' Liverpool, Inter Milan won the first championship".The article specifically mentioned that Inter Milan was twice overtaken by Liverpool in the game, but the players did not show the slightest impatience, and finally won the final victory with Vieri's stoppage time before the end of stoppage time. Under the leadership of Jiang Mu, the spirit of Inter Milan has undergone unprecedented changes.

The French "Team Daily" even stated that Inter Milan's victory over Liverpool to win the UEFA Cup was a match that made fans all over the world crazy. The suspense is repeated, full of drama, and it is a feast for the eyes.

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. The referee Visiers awarded the championship to Inter Milan.

"The Telegraph" said that Liverpool should have won their first European title in 16 years and entered the treble club, but a red card shattered their dreams.

"The Sun" believes that in addition to the red card, Liverpool is a little worse than Inter Milan in terms of star quality, Gerrard is still immature, McAllister is a bit too old, Irving is not as good as Ronaldo, Fu Le is not in good shape and 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 or Inter Milan. Kick the ball well.
