Legendary Godfather

Defeating Sampdoria, AC Milan successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2018-2019 Italian Cup!

Along with AC Milan, Lazio, Juventus, Fiorentina, Inter Milan, Naples, Atalanta and Roma advanced to the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup!

Sure enough, the top eight of the Coppa Italia are the top eight of Serie A!

These eight teams can only be regarded as the most powerful teams in Serie A at present. These teams should be the ones to qualify for the European competition next season!

Tong Yi said after the game, "We are quite satisfied with the result of this game. Sampdoria is still quite strong. However, we performed well in the far away goal and we are in a relatively good state. Hopefully. If they can maintain this state, our opponents will be very strong."

Yes, Tong Yi is already thinking about the next game.

The games in the second half of the season are just around the corner. They must get into form. The most critical moment in the league is right in front of them.

Of course, their next step is to fly to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to participate in the Italian Super Cup.

This competition can be regarded as a commercial competition, and they are here to make money.

Otherwise, how could the game be adjusted to this time? Originally this game was supposed to be played in August, but it was really too hot in Riyadh in August and it was impossible to play football, so it was rescheduled to now.

Tong Yi also attaches great importance to this game.

Showing their strength and influence in front of the Saudi oil guys will be of great benefit to the club's future business cooperation. This game should be won as much as possible!

However, Juventus is indeed very strong, and they may not be able to defeat their opponents, so Tong Yi hopes that the players can continue their form and strive to defeat Juventus in a game!

Juventus is indeed very strong this season and is considered the only team in Serie A.

So far, in the entire first half of the season, Juventus has only lost one game, tied one game, and won all other games. This strength is indeed very strong, and the more gratifying the state is.

No wonder many people feel that AC Milan has no chance in this game and Juventus must win!

But Tong Yi thinks their team has a chance!

Because the only game Juventus lost in the first half of the season was to AC Milan, they have the experience of defeating Juventus this season. Therefore, Juventus may not be able to beat them in this game.

Tong Yi is still very confident!

However, the Juventus people must be thinking of revenge at this time.

You don't need to think about it to know that this game will be very difficult, so Tong Yi has already started to remind the AC Milan players at this time, reminding them to pay attention, adjust their state, and prepare for the next game.

.

Of course, at this time, Tong Yi still focused on praise and encouragement.

AC Milan's players are also in very good shape now and are very confident about the next game because they have full confidence in Tong Yi.

And they do have the confidence to defeat Juventus in the first half of the season. They feel that they will win this game.

Especially in this game against Sampdoria, they performed well, so they feel that they can win this game as well.

Sampdoria head coach Giampaolo also said after the game, "AC Milan is indeed very strong, far exceeding our expectations. They completely controlled the game in this game, and we didn't even have a chance." . I think their strength is 50-50 equal to Juventus, and it is possible for them to beat Juventus!"

Giampaolo doesn't know if he was convinced by AC Milan or if he deliberately diverted trouble!

Obviously he hopes that AC Milan can fight Juventus to death. It is best for AC Milan to lose, so that they can thank them for their hatred!

Giampaolo also said, "The second half of the season has not really arrived yet, and our Sampdoria players have not yet adjusted to their best condition. This game is a game to find the state for the off-season. Lose. The more we can accept it, being eliminated from the Coppa Italia early is not a bad thing for us!”

Many media reporters nodded in agreement.

Giampaolo also said, "After being eliminated early, we can put all our attention on the league. Only then can we wholeheartedly strive to qualify for the European competition next season!"

Yes, Sampdoria's goal this season is to qualify for the European Cup. The Italian Cup does require too much energy for them, which is not a good thing for their goals.

If they were eliminated early at this time, they wouldn't have so many worries.

Therefore, it is not unacceptable for Sampdoria to be eliminated.

Sampdoria fans didn't pay too much attention, they were all focused on the league!

Of course, Giampaolo has no excuses now!

If he leads the team this season and fails to qualify for next season's European competition, his coaching position may not be guaranteed.

Giampaolo is very confident about this. He said, "I am still very confident about qualifying for next season's European competition. Our strength at Sampdoria is very strong, and everyone can see it. We feel It’s unlikely to finish in the top four in Serie A, but finishing fifth or sixth should be no problem, we have the strength!”

At this time DiMarzio

He shook his head slightly. He felt that Giampaolo was a little too confident.

There are many capable teams in Serie A this season, but Sampdoria really cannot be ranked in this position.

Even Di Marzio feels that Sampdoria will not be able to qualify for next season's European competition this season. They do not have the ability. After all, there are teams such as Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina, Naples and Atalanta in Serie A. Sampdoria really doesn't rank among them!

Therefore, he felt that Giampaolo was too confident.

Tong Yi did not express an opinion on this matter, he didn't care about it.

Tong Yi cares more about their own team!

By this time, the quarter-finals of the 2018-2019 Italian Cup will be born, and the draw for the next knockout rounds should also begin. Tong Yi doesn't pay special attention to this draw, it doesn't matter who is drawn. Anyway, if they want to win the championship, they must meet a strong team sooner or later.

At this time, the Roseneris were very concerned. They hoped that AC Milan could get a good draw.

But seriously, their luck is not very good!

Their AC Milan side has drawn Naples, who is very powerful!

You have to know that Naples is currently the second-ranked team in Serie A, second only to Juventus.

Therefore, after this result came out, media reporters and fans were almost not optimistic about AC Milan. They all feel that AC Milan's Italian Cup journey ends here. They feel that it is impossible for AC Milan to defeat Naples.

Naples is so strong!

After all, Naples is not only higher than AC Milan in the standings, but even in the working season, Naples also defeated AC Milan. They are experienced.

So no matter from which angle this game is played, AC Milan has no chance of winning this game.

Naturally, AC Milan can only stop at the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup.

After the lottery results came out, many media reporters also interviewed Tong Yi and asked Tong Yi what he thought of the lottery results.

Tong Yi faced the media reporters and said calmly, "We actually expected this result. After all, there are only a few teams at once. Naples is not the upper reaches of the top eight teams. Drawing them is indeed our AC. Milan is not very lucky. But we can’t have no chance at all. I think we can win!”

Of course, Tong Yi also knew very well that these media reporters and fans would definitely not think so. They felt that AC Milan could not beat Naples. Tong Yi didn't try to correct these guys' views. Anyway, he just wanted to express his own views.

In his opinion, Narebus is indeed very strong, and Tong Yi did not underestimate his opponent!

Moreover, famous coach Carlo Ancelotti accepted Naples this season, which has taken Naples' strength to a higher level. Tong Yi will naturally not underestimate his opponents. Everyone is still vividly aware of the team's performance after Ancelotti. Now that he is the runner-up in the league, Tong Yi will naturally not underestimate his opponents.

Tong Yi also said, "Of course, Napoli this season is indeed capable of hitting the Serie A championship. But I don't think they can win the league championship, because this league championship belongs to us AC Milan!"

At this time, Tong Yi was trying to help AC Milan players attract firepower and give them a relaxed environment.

But Romano just thinks Tong Yi is arrogant. What qualifications do AC Milan have to win the Serie A championship?

You are really so shameless!

Even DiMarzio shook his head slightly. He also felt that Tong Yi was a little too much and a little conceited.

AC Milan really have no chance of winning the championship this season.

The champion of Serie A this season is Juventus!

Tong Yi ignored the reporters and turned around, then led his team's players to Saudi Arabia to prepare for this season's Italian Super Cup.

At this time, Naples head coach Carlo Ancelotti was interviewed by media reporters.

Ancelotti said: "AC Milan is obviously a team that surprised us all. Their performance this season really exceeded our expectations. Huaxia Tong is indeed very capable and can play in It's really unexpected that AC Milan has been brought together in such a short time. Of course, Huaxia Tong's interest in discovering young people still surprises me, it's amazing!"

It can be heard that Ancelotti is really envious!

Of course, this is not just the envy of Ancelotti, many head coaches are very envious.

Ancelotti also said, "It is indeed not a good draw result for us to meet AC Milan in Naples. We don't really want to meet AC Milan! I know that many people outside are not optimistic about this team, but I have not underestimated it. What they mean. For us in Naples, we also say that AC Milan is a mysterious team compared to other teams. This is prone to accidents. We are more willing to meet other teams than to meet AC Milan. ! Because we know the other teams better, there won’t be so many uncertainties!”

Di Marzio and Di Carlo both nodded, feeling that what Ancelotti said made sense.

They also believe that this is the truth from the bottom of Ancelotti's heart!

Think about it carefully, if they were Ancelotti, they would not be willing to meet AC Milan at this time!
