Chapter 286: Don’t Want to Win

Jiangshan always maintained his demeanor in front of the media, just like Rijkaard did at the beginning. He first talked about the team reaching the Italian Cup final and trying to win the championship.

He slightly looked forward to the possibility of the treble, "It's unlikely. This is a huge challenge. Milan's players have played a lot of games and we are under a lot of pressure. Of course, the main responsibility lies with me. If we can't win, it will naturally be my dereliction of duty."

"We will strive to win three championships. This is the hope of Milan fans all over the world. Italian football has not produced a treble yet. We hope to be the first."

"This is why I joined Milan. Milan has good players, countless fans, and everyone's support."

The reporter was very happy to hear this. Jiangshan is very good at dealing with reporters.

Finally, he finally responded to Rijkaard's previous remarks. Moreover, Jiangshan frankly admitted to piracy, "Yes, our football is all pirated."

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar. People have apologized, and you actually admitted that you pirated. Is this a joke or a deliberate stab in the back?

Jiang Shan continued, "According to some views, all football is pirated. Modern football originated in England, and everyone is pirated from England. If we talk about history, football appeared in its infancy in the Song Dynasty of China. Well, everyone is pirated from China."

Seriously talking nonsense, the reporters at the scene burst into laughter. When there is news to be written, there will definitely be another wave of bombardment.

"In fact, for me, players are tactics. Arranging different tactics according to different players is the most basic approach, so I have nothing to respond to Rijkaard's previous statement."

"I respect Mr. Rijkaard very much, and he has apologized, so don't hold on to it."

That being said, of course, it is to take advantage of the situation to hype it up again, and then lead the rhythm to add a little more pressure on Rijkaard.

The media was indeed mobilized by Jiang Shan, and once again put pressure on Rijkaard with words. Everything is psychological warfare.

Rijkaard scratched his ears and cheeks, and his hair fell straight down. That mood, don't mention how depressed it was.

"The only way is to defeat Jiangshan in the game, otherwise I will always be suppressed by him. He has conquered the fans of Milan, and it is difficult to change the situation." Fans are forgetful. When they have a new love, they forget the old love. Everyone is the same.

Unconsciously, Jiangshan's image among Milan fans has become taller. Even if they failed to win the Champions League this season, they firmly believe that Jiangshan will win the championship.

Trust is such a simple idea.

After Milan defeated Inter Milan 1:0 at home and completed a double kill of the opponent, the trust of Milan fans in Jiangshan has unconsciously increased.

As long as Jiangshan is in Milan, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome and no task that cannot be completed.

After winning this game, Milan locked the league championship 4 rounds in advance, and won the championship by stepping on the city's deadly rival, which made all Milan fans extremely satisfied.

Unfortunately, the award ceremony will not be held until the end of the season, otherwise Milan fans may have to parade around the city of Milan. Jiangshan's first championship after taking office, the league championship.

Jiangshan couldn't be happy. Cafu was injured and the main right back missed the next two games. This was one aspect. More importantly, the championship that was in hand now would be given away next month. It was depressing to talk about it.

In early May, the phone gate would break out and could not be covered up. Jiangshan knew the situation, but he couldn't show it. It was painful. He could only pretend that everything was fine. There was no news outside, and he certainly didn't know about the phone gate.

Although Galliani was entangled in things, he was also very powerful. He brought Jiangshan rare good news. The great Italian left back, the great left back heritage, Grosso's transfer has been confirmed and he will join the team after the season.

The transfer fee is not high, only 12 million euros. If Italy wins the World Cup, it may be 10 million higher. He created a penalty for the team in the Italian Cup and eliminated Australia, so the price will increase.

Grosso faked a fall and got a penalty. Well, in the end, it was Huang Jianxiang who died. The world is impermanent, and blessings and disasters are hard to predict!

Next season, Seedorf may retire, and Maldini and Kaladze cannot always occupy the starting lineup. New players must be added. In addition, Vieri has been unable to return to the peak and can only wait for opportunities on the bench. The reinforcement in the summer is very critical.

Jiangshan knows that next season, Milan will start the new season with a negative score, and the difficulty of winning the championship can be imagined.

Now, he has to deal with the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, away challenge to Barcelona.

Rijkaard was forced to apologize by the media, and he also held his breath, wanting to kill Jiangshan in the game, prove his ability, and prove Barcelona's passing and controlling football status.

After a period of media hype, the semi-finals finally started. It is related to the finals. Both sides cannot afford to lose in this series.

On the Barcelona side, all the elite players will play. Barcelona's iconic 433 lineup focuses on offense, and the home court must be a passing and controlling tactic.

Goalkeeper Valdés, although a little irritable, has good ball control skills and is a competent goalkeeper for a top club; the defense line is lined up with Van Bronckhorst, Puyol, Marcos and Oleguer who have both skills and strength, and they even have a psychological advantage facing Milan's attacking group.

The midfield is a combination of Deco, Xavi and Motta. Iniesta was on the bench, perhaps because he was young, or at least Rijkaard was not very fond of Iniesta and did not reuse him.

The front trident, led by Eto'o, is matched with Giuly and Messi. Everyone can pass and shoot, and it is difficult to defend.

Rijkaard's move was obvious, and he directly claimed the authenticity of passing and controlling.

In order to win the game, Jiangshan fine-tuned the team's tactics.

In this game, he arranged a 352 formation, which no one expected.

Goalkeeper Dida, Milan's main goalkeeper, only did not play in the Italian Cup this season, and almost played all other games.

Three central defenders, Stam, Nesta and Maldini, three old guys, are waiting for Barcelona's forward group.

The five-man midfield is well staffed. Seedorf, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Gattuso and Kaka. Kaka appeared in the winger position, and he even claimed some defensive tasks today.

On the forward line, there are two strikers, the tall and strong Vieri, and the flexible and skilled Shevchenko.

When Jiangshan's formation came out, everyone was sweating. Can such a lineup really deal with Barcelona? Especially Vieri, his speed has always been a flaw since he got older. Can he play well in away games?

When the famous Italian commentator Jacobeli saw Milan's starting lineup, he immediately made a judgment and said directly, "Milan's away game is not for winning, but for drawing. Jiangshan has disappointed me so much."
