Vol 5 Chapter 287: protagonist

Wansheng's popularity in England, Europe and the world is quite hot. √∟, x.
In the European football circle, Wan Sheng is one of the most concerned coaches. His popularity in Europe is almost equivalent to those of star players. This is very remarkable for a football coach because most fans only care about Players, rarely care about the head coach.
Wansheng's Twitter account has more than 2 million followers. Every time a broadcast or comment is published, it will be watched by countless friends.
After the Twitter comment was published, its content was spreading almost at the speed of light.
Countless friends 'reposts, countless friends' comments, countless media reprints and comments, only one hour later, the content of Twitter spread throughout the UK, covering the whole Europe and even the world.
This tweet caught the attention of all of Europe.
"I doubt the IQ of these people: how can a team that can beat Manchester City lose to Liverpool?" The tone is entirely satire. Of course, the satire does not matter at all. Those media reporters who came to interviews have not. I do n’t care what I think. Anyway, there are many media who want to interview Wansheng. They are just one of them. It does n’t matter at all. The key point is that Wansheng ’s comments directly determine the outcome of the game. Obviously he thinks that AC Milan will win.
It's just that the reason for the conclusion is very difficult to accept.
What does ‘a team that can beat Manchester City lose to Liverpool’? When can a football match determine the winner in terms of victory or defeat?
In these two seasons, Liverpool have not won Manchester City in the league, but this does not mean that Liverpool are completely worse than Manchester City, or that the team that won Manchester City will definitely win Liverpool. There is no decision at all. What's more, the match between Liverpool and ac Milan is a decision of the Champions League. Liverpool has always been a team that is good at playing European wars. No one can do otherwise. Manchester City is not comparable. Manchester City are eliminated from the European Wars, but Liverpool are close to the finals, which can explain a lot of things, so the comments are talking about The winning or losing relationship is simply not established at all.
If this sentence is spoken among other populations, it will be ignored and people will only receive some ridicule. There will be some satire, "This guy doesn't understand football at all!"
But the comment was made by Wan Sheng, Manchester City's head coach, a successful coach who led Manchester City to win the league title for two consecutive seasons, and the first time he played in the Champions League, he could score in the top eight. Wan Sheng certainly has a considerable understanding of football , This ridicule is also untenable.
Therefore, everyone knows that Wansheng said this on purpose!
The reason for Wan Sheng's "causality". It doesn't matter at all, what matters is his conclusion-AC Milan wins!
In fact, before Liverpool and AC Milan, many people were waiting for the "Conclusion". "We look forward to which team Wansheng can look forward to." This sentence appears in various newspapers, magazines, and sports program reports. As long as it is related to the Champions League final, most of the media will mention Wansheng. Because of the ‘guessing major game results’, Wan Sheng is quite famous.
Many people are waiting for this conclusion.
The various media hope that Wansheng can make judgments so that they can make special reports; fans of both parties expect Wansheng to support their team. Like last year ’s World Cup final, Wan Sheng supported the Italian team, and the Italian team defeated the French team to win the World Cup championship; many of Wan Sheng ’s absolute supporters also hoped that Wan Sheng could express their views before the Champions League final. Supporting a team is equivalent to giving them a direction of support; the most anticipated in this regard is the 'those gamblers'. They look forward to the outcome of the victory and then go to suppress it.
In fact, Wan Sheng ’s conclusion disappointed the
gamblers
because more people think that AC Milan can win. This can be seen in the odds set by the bookmaker for the two teams. Within 90 minutes, Ac Milan wins, with odds of only 1.49, almost nothing left after deducting taxes, while Liverpool wins is 4.18, and the difference between the two odds can tell a lot.
Fortunately, Wansheng didn't say that AC Milan won, whether it won in 90 minutes, or won in the end, so they can also put their bets to tie in 90 minutes.
Of course, bookmakers do n’t care what gamblers think. When Wansheng ’s Twitter comment was published, the influence quickly came out. British bookmakers and European bookmakers almost all met AC Milan at the same time. The odds for winning have been adjusted downwards, coupled with the increase in the betting of 'ac Milan win', and soon the odds of ac Milan winning are only 1.37, which is almost nothing to earn after deducting taxes.
This is just a bookmaker.
Let's take a look at the two teams of AC Milan and Liverpool.
Some people from both teams have been waiting for the news of Wan Sheng's judgment on the game. Now that the news is known, ac Milan is immediately happy and their fans can't wait to celebrate the championship; on the contrary, Liverpool Fans are very unhappy.
After the 'Istanbul Miracle' two years ago, Wansheng was regarded by Liverpool fans as 'the friendliest person', because at the moment of crisis in Liverpool's battle in Istanbul, only Wansheng was supportive of Liverpool and believed that Liverpool People with opportunities.
Now, Wansheng has become the ‘most unpopular person’ of Liverpool fans.
"I don't understand why he said that. I remember two years ago, he also said that" the spirit of the Red Army can create miracles, Gerrard, he is a player who never gives up ", so we created a miracle, the biggest in the history of the Champions League. Reversal defeated AC Milan! "
"But now he says," A team that can beat AC Milan will definitely be able to win Liverpool "? I do n’t know why the football match, when it becomes possible to decide by winning or losing! I just want to say, I hate him!"
"Does he think he is God? Which team does he say will win, which team can win?"
"I believe Liverpool will prove with victory that he cannot be right every time!"
"He supports ac Milan? Many people support ac Milan, but I believe Liverpool will win!"
"..."
Liverpool fans have expressed their opinions.
At the same time, many media in England also refuted Wan Sheng's claim.
Liverpool are an England team, and the English media naturally hopes that their team can win the Champions League, so they refute Wansheng's claims from all angles.
Some are just like the fans said, do n’t think that Wansheng will be correct every time; others directly use the last time Wansheng said, "He said last time about the spirit of the Red Army, he thought that this spirit can create miracles. Liverpool at that time It has fallen behind by three goals. Now that the game has not started, Liverpool still have the Red Army spirit, Gerrard is still in the team and will start the game. Is it that the Red Army spirit is meaningless two years later? "
"He is refuting his remarks!"
"He probably can't guess which team will win. Most people think that AC Milan has a greater chance, so he chose AC Milan."
"..."
A variety of rebuttal remarks flooded the entire British coverage of the Champions League final. Among these remarks, Liverpool, who was preparing for the final battle in Athens. Perhaps it is the one who has the most say.
A few hours after Wan Sheng's comment, Liverpool coach Benitez has been asked related questions. He realized that this would have a certain impact on Liverpool's morale, and he definitely needs special attention, so he immediately Said, "I think the game is decided by both parties, not by him."
"The outcome of the game is directly related to the teams of the two sides. What do other people say. It will not have any impact on the game. Our players are highly motivated and we all hope to get the second Champions League trophy."
"I believe Liverpool can finally win!"
"We have an advantage in our hearts. We beat them last time. This match is in our favor. I think everyone in the team has the same idea as me."
No one knows whether the Liverpool team thinks so, but it is certain. The Liverpool Club expressed support for Benitez.
Liverpool club support methods are very different.
The night before the game, Liverpool's official station had already broadcast the good news of the team's victory in advance-"The Red Army won in Athens!"
This "Oolong" message disappeared on Liverpool's official page after only a short stay of 5 minutes.
The news that made the headlines of Liverpool's official station is clear. It doesn't seem to mean any mischief. At the top of the news, the bold text specifically states, "Liverpool team, winner of the 2007 European Champions Cup", very clearly telling people that Liverpool are not participants of the 2007 Champions League, but have already won this The champion of the event, and the Champions League in the 2006/07 season.
In the main text, this piece of news reads: "In ancient Greece ... we have won for the 6th time! The heroes of Rafa (Bénitus) are undergoing another celebration after winning European honors, this It was our second defeat to AC Milan in the third season. "
The Liverpool official announced that he won the championship before the game had been played, which was indeed very surprising.
According to the analysis of the British media, this should be a draft prepared by the Liverpool club in advance, ready to be posted on the official page as soon as the team wins, but it is now published prematurely.
"This is a mistake and an oversight. If the Champions Cup trophy was held on Wednesday night by AC Milan's Maldini, then this error and oversight will become unforgivable." Italy tg commented on this news .
Whether it is a mistake or a prophecy, only waiting time to answer.
Some media have also combined Liverpool's official 'error' with Wansheng's remarks. They said, "Wansheng made a prediction, Liverpool also made a prediction. Now we are ready to go to the game to see who's prediction More accurate. "
The next morning, all European and even the world's goals were ready to focus on the Champions League final in Athens. On the same day, Wansheng and Anita were preparing to board the plane to Lisbon and go to the port of Portugal for a vacation.
In the airport aisle, Wansheng was closely followed by some media reporters.
In fact, Wan Sheng wanted to leave directly and did not want to make any remarks about the Champions League final. That was totally meaningless to him, but when he heard a reporter ask with a bad face, "You can't guess anything Just talk nonsense! "
Wan Sheng was immediately annoyed, and he said to the reporter, "You can't guess what I guess !? Now you are going to interview me! That's what I think! Ac Milan can win, this is my opinion!"
"why?"
"Why! Very simple, let me tell you the truth, because Liverpool have been competing with Manchester City Torres, they are our competitors in the transfer market. Why should I support the competitors? So I support ac Milan, that's why!"
The media reporter was dumbfounded at the reason.
No matter what they think, Wan Sheng directly stepped into the airport's waiting room with Anita. As long as they entered the airport, there would be no harassment by reporters.

Wan Sheng's "competitor theory" is a bit vomiting blood, but it is always a reason, and he also emphasized his support for AC Milan.
Note that it is support, not guessing the result.
The media interviewed with Wansheng all described ‘support’ in particular. What they want to say is that the Chinese does not know who wins and who loses, he just 'supports' AC Milan, but they do not have much effect on these reports. For ordinary fans, know that Wan Sheng 'guess' AC Milan It is enough to win, regardless of whether he 'supports' or 'guess the result'.
In various media comments, the Athens game is about to start.
Wan Sheng and Anita got off the plane from Lisbon and then took a taxi directly to the resort in the harbour. Checked into the booked hotel, then turned on the TV for the first time and watched the live broadcast of the Champions League final.
The game has just started.
Ancelotti and Benitez were both in single striker formation.
Ac Milan, veteran Inzaghi pressure Gilardino played. The midfielder added Ambrosini. Captain Maldini took part in the Champions League final for the eighth time, tying the record of former Real Madrid superstar Gento. 38-year-old and 331-day Maldini became the oldest in the history of the Champions League final Not a goalkeeper player. This is also the third time Maldini has participated in the Champions League final as a captain, and broke the record of 36-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper Ramalez in 1961, becoming the oldest captain in the history of the Champions League.
Liverpool. Spaniard Alonso won the start and formed a double midfielder with Mascherano. Cenden, who had recovered from an ankle injury, flew on both wings with Pennant. Cowell, who started two years ago, could only sit on the bench.
AC Milan wore the same white jersey as they did two years ago. They won the Champions League in 1963, 1989, 1990 and 2003 in white jerseys. The referee for this campaign is the 43-year-old German van der. Liverpool had 2 goals and 1 draw without scoring under his law enforcement. Ac Milan played 5 wins under his lead.
Van der's law enforcement is also considered to be one of the reasons why AC Milan can win.
After the opening, as in the finals of all competitions, both teams were mainly stable.
Different from what many people think, Liverpool play more active, and AC Milan play more stable, but Liverpool has limited strength, their tactics and cooperation is hard to say that fans can like, so the two teams in the first half The game was a little drowsy. Ac Milan, who finally sought stability, scored the first goal. In the 44th minute, Kaka turned and broke through and was knocked down by Alonso. Pirlo took the right foot at 21 meters in front of the goal. The ball hit a half-height ball and passed through the side of the wall. Inzaghi blocked with the upper left arm at 9 meters in front of the goal. The ball refracted into the ball, leaving Reina who flew to the left.
This is Inzaghi's 37th Champions League goal and 57th European goal.
In the second half, the two teams played again. Liverpool's performance became more and more active. They scored better than Liverpool in terms of shooting, passing, and possession. But in the end, the second ball still belonged to AC Milan. The goal was still due to Zaji.
In the 82nd minute, Kaka took the ball to the gap between the three defenders. Inzaghi finally succeeded in the offside offense. He waded to the goalkeeper Reina who was struck down and saved from the right side of the penalty area. At 6 meters, the right foot shot from a small angle to score an empty goal.
2 to 0! !
Perhaps the spirit of the Red Army is still valuable. At the end of the game, Kewell took a corner kick on the left. Agger nodded the ball and flicked Maldini's head to the back point. Kuyt headed 4 meters in front of the door. The ball reached the far corner and Liverpool finally pulled it back.
However, it is too late!
In the end, AC Milan won Liverpool 2-1 and won the Champions League trophy. At the same time, they also completed their revenge on the defeat of the final two years ago!

Having seen the match between AC Milan and Liverpool, many people couldn't help but think of Wan Sheng while congratulating AC Milan on winning the championship.
In an interview before the game, the young man twice explained the reasons for his support for a Milan by ‘ridiculous’ reasons. The results proved once again that this young man always laughs best.
He was right again!
Regardless of the reasons he explained, how ridiculous and ‘individualistic’, but many times, I have to admit that the result is the most important.
Those fans who didn't believe in Wansheng before, faced the result with regret again.
Those media who criticized ‘Wansheng is not God’ ca n’t help but say,
Perhaps sometimes, he is really God, and if he says it is outrageous, we should all believe him.

Of course, there are also taunts.
"Congratulations to him, for another Champions League final, he became an alternative protagonist."
Wan Sheng didn't care what the media said. In fact, after watching the match between AC Milan and Liverpool, he felt weird.
~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ who made speeches and comments about the game, he didn't care at all, he cared about the game itself, and the result of this game is exactly the same as in the memory, 2: 1, almost no change.
He couldn't help but think, "Can't history be changed? Or what is the so-called corrective power of history?"
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the result is the same as in memory.
But soon, Wan Sheng felt that he wanted to think more. One is that the Derbyshire and Manchester City he has led have won the league championship for three consecutive years. What correction power in history ca n’t change this fact. In addition, he can take the memories of his previous life. Becoming Wansheng now is an extremely ridiculous and unimaginable thing in itself, so what is the meaning of "corrective power"?
The previous life is just the previous one, and this life is the same regardless of what is in front of it.
He is not God, not a savior, thinking that those are meaningless.
After that, Wan Sheng clenched his fists and made up his mind, "Next season, the Champions League final will definitely become the protagonist because it is a participant!" (To be continued.)
