Chapter 624
Hearing David's words, Baggio fell into a brief silence on the other end of the phone. He really didn't expect that he needed to think calmly.
When Baggio just retired, Inter Milan chairman Moratti invited him to join the management of the Inter Milan club. Inter Milan is also the place where Baggio once fought, but in the end Baggio rejected the old chairman after repeated thinking. Invited to devote himself to charity.
But for Baggio, football is always the love in his heart, even eternity. Even though his current job is far away from football, he still cannot stop the burning flame in his heart.
He felt like he never left football!
Brescia has a special meaning for Baggio.He has crossed mountains, rivers, seas, and mountains of people, tasted the peak of life, and fell into the trough.
After going through several giants, he disappeared in the national team competition for the first time. At that moment, he knew that he needed to use reason to overcome emotion, so he came to Brescia.
The three years in Brescia were the happiest period of his career. He could get enough playing time and fully enjoy the happiness that football brought him. He won the respect and everything that people should give him.
It can be said that Brescia has the same status in his heart as Vicenza, which is his hometown team.
Baggio couldn't help flashing through his mind at Brescia, beautiful and profound!
Maybe he felt that such silence was a little impolite, and Baggio said to David with a trembling voice: "You know, this is a bit sudden, please allow me to think about it!"
"Of course, I understand your feelings, please believe me, I am sincere in your invitation, and I am waiting for your good news!" David did not immediately expect Baggio to give an answer, after all, this is not a small matter !
After finishing the phone call with Baggio, David passed the list of outstanding young Italian players from his mind. If Brescia is relegated without accident, then the club will inevitably face reconstruction next season. David needs to plan ahead and do it all at once. Solve the stubborn problems in the lineup.
Of course, this is not something that needs to be done right away. After all, the league is not over yet, the transfer window has not yet opened, and Brescia is even theoretically possible to relegation, all of which affect David's plan.
After returning to England, it was already two days after the end of the Champions League match, and within these two days, the results of the Champions League quarter-finals had been fully fermented.
It is not surprising that Notts County eliminated Juventus in the away game because of their obvious advantage in the first round, but in the other three games, it was very interesting and unexpected.
In the duel between Lyon and Eindhoven, Eindhoven drew with the Ligue 1 hegemony away in the first round, and after returning home in the second round, the Eredivisie giants also failed to let Lyon win. The score in the two rounds was amazing The same, 1:[-].
The two teams scored a goalless draw in overtime, and in the final penalty shootout, the Dutch had the last laugh, eliminated Lyon 4:2 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Got the best score.
In another peak match in the upper half, an extremely rare scene on the football field happened.
In the history of Milan's derby, fan riots really cannot be described as rare, but in the most watched competition in Europe, such as the Champions League, nothing similar has happened.
In the first round, AC Milan defeated Inter Milan 2-0 at home, and in the second round of Inter Milan's home game, because of the referee's penalty, the home team fans had a large-scale riot.
In the first half, Inter Milan scored a goal and rewritten the total score to 2:1. As long as they make persistent efforts to score another goal, at least the two teams will return to the same starting line. Whether Inter Milan players or fans, they all seemed a little out of balance.
In the second half, AC Milan retreated to defend, and Inter Milan once bombarded around AC Milan's half. Finally, in the 71st minute, Inter Milan scored the ball into AC Milan's goal, but this was the beginning of the riot.
Mihajnovic took a corner kick on the right, Dida missed the save from the middle, and Sneijder headed into the net from far away, but the referee Merck ruled the goal invalid on the grounds that the Dutchman fouled Cafu first. Ned was also given a yellow card for dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty.
At this time, the angry Inter Milan fans behind the gate of Dida threw down the mineral water bottles one after another. Dida was hit by an exploding firework on the right shoulder while cleaning up the debris in the penalty area and fell to the ground. Dida was quickly sent to work. Personnel were carried into the center of the site for first aid.
The game was suspended because of this, Zanetti was cleaning up debris in the restricted area with the staff, and referee Merck was waiting for Dida to receive treatment.
Taking advantage of this time, Ancelotti taught the players face-to-face opportunities at the right time, while Mancini on the opposite side sat on the bench with a sad face.
As the scene could not be controlled, the Inter Milan fans in the stands continued to throw fireworks and other dangerous objects. The referee Merck told the AC Milan players to retreat into the lounge, and the AC Milan fans also played "exit" and "game over" in the stands. slogan.
After 5 minutes, Inter Milan players and game officials left the field one after another.The riot police entered the side stand to maintain order, and the staff continued to clean up the venue.
In the end, the referee Merck and the game supervisor decided to continue the game at 22:40.
Players from both sides re-entered the field to resume the game. They thought that the last time would end smoothly, but they didn't expect that the controlled scene was just an illusion.
Just after the game resumed, several fireworks were thrown from the stands on this side, and even sundries such as umbrellas appeared. Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee Merck immediately announced the early end of the game.
The riots were terrible and dangerous. Even the AC Milan players were stopped by the coach when they were about to thank the fans in the stands. Ancelotti must ensure the safety of the players, and Didako is still receiving treatment!
After the game was completely interrupted, everyone was talking about it. Will UEFA judge Inter Milan as a loser or choose another time for the last 15 minutes of the game?
Soon, UEFA gave the answer. Inter Milan did not get any chance and was sentenced to a 3:0 loss. In this way, AC Milan eliminated Inter Milan with a total score of 5:0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The opponent in the final is the Eredivisie giants Eindhoven.
In the second half, the much-watched match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich, Mourinho's team defeated Bayern Munich 4:2 at home in the first round, but after returning to the field, Bayern Munich launched a big counterattack , defeated Chelsea 3:1, Klose performed a hat-trick and almost single-handedly brought Bayern Munich into the semi-finals of the Champions League. Even the core of the team, Ballack, was not as eye-catching as Klose.
However, this result made David a little unexpected. If they remember correctly, Mourinho took Chelsea to the Champions League semi-finals in his first season in the previous life. Eliminated Bayern Munich, the score of the first round also gave him this illusion, but after the second round, it seems that everything has changed. Is this the chain reaction brought about by Klose's early joining of Bayern?
In other words, Notts County's opponent in the semi-finals changed from Chelsea to Bayern Munich. This is really an unexpected change!
