Chapter 111 Love for Milan

May 5, the day before the Champions League final.

All the soldiers of AC Milan arrived in Munich, and then began to go to the Allianz Arena for adaptive training.

This is to familiarize yourself with the playing field, and it is also Milan's last official training session before tomorrow night's game.

As usual, Tassotti is responsible for the defensive training, while Pan Yi will direct the offensive training, and Allegri will coordinate and join in from time to time for some routine positioning and shooting exercises.

At this point in the season, in fact, there is no secret between the two sides of the game. This training is also held in public, and many reporters and fans have come to watch.

However, at the end of the training, Pan Yi called the main players together again and practiced penalty kicks.

This can't help but make the media have some associations.

Is this ready to play defense in the finals?
Ready to drag the game to a penalty shootout?
After all, the offensive power of this Bayern team is really amazing, and it also eliminated the Cosmos team Barcelona in the semifinals.

Since AC Milan once played an iron barrel formation against Barcelona in the group stage, it is also possible to repeat the same trick in the final.

After all, this is the Champions League final!

In order to win, each team will choose the best way for them to win.

However, what is the real purpose of Milan, we still have to ask the parties involved in the team-that is, the coaches.

So, when the pre-match training was completely over and Allegri also went to attend the pre-match press conference of the Champions League final, some reporters also surrounded Pan Yi, trying to take something out of his mouth.

After all, most of what was said at a formal press conference was a scene, but on such an informal occasion, this young assistant coach might still be able to say something real.

"You said the penalty kick training just now? How to put it, we must make all possible preparations."

Pan Yi did not refuse to be interviewed by reporters, and he spoke eloquently to their questions.

"This is the final of the Champions League, the highest club competition in Europe."

"Both us and Bayern have had a lot of tough games, beating a lot of tough opponents to get here."

"So, tomorrow's game will definitely be very difficult. We must be mentally prepared and be prepared to play until the end."

"Training penalty kicks means that you will focus on defense tactically? I don't think so. It's not only 0:0 that will enter a penalty shootout. A 4:4 is also a draw, isn't it?"

"Of course, we don't want the game to go to a penalty shootout. Because we are confident that we will resolve the battle within 10 minutes!"

A reporter asked again: "Won't your young Milan team feel intimidated when they see Bayern? After all, their lineup is more mature and they are playing at home."

Pan Yi laughed and compared with his fingers:
"How much do you think it is? Seven."

"What's this again? Four."

"We Milan have won the Champions League seven times, Bayern only four times. And the last time they won the championship was already in 2001."

"That is to say, in the UEFA Champions League, our Milan is the side with more history and experience!"

"So, even if they are playing at home, their players and fans should be more afraid of us!"

Although in the team's internal communication, Pan Yi has been emphasizing the strength of Bayern to the players, so that everyone should not take it lightly, but in front of the media and the public, he has to show the team's self-confidence.

This has a crucial effect on the psychology of young players, especially those before the final.

Young players tend to have greater psychological fluctuations, which will also affect their actual performance on the field.

And once they start to be nervous and have excessive awe of their opponents, they will be intimidated, and eventually their performance will be a mess.

Therefore, the coaching staff has communicated a long time ago that before this Champions League final, it is necessary to display a winning momentum, so as to dilute the tension of young players facing this important final as much as possible.

The reporter asked: "What kind of lineup and tactics are Milan planning to adopt in this final? Have you studied Heynckes' tactics? Or have you arranged any play against Bayern?"

Pan Yi smiled: "The main lineups of our two teams are almost on the surface. Does it need to be said? As for the tactics, you will know after the game."

Tactics, of course, cannot be said before the game.

Although everyone knows the main style of play of the two teams, when it comes to targeted arrangements, it is ever-changing, and it is a process of seeing and breaking.

That is to say, the reporter asked Pan Yi so directly because he was young.

If you encounter a coach like Mourinho or Guardiola, considering that you will be sprayed, reporters generally will not ask such questions.

Seeing that Pan Yi didn't accept the call, the reporter stopped talking.

Another female reporter asked:

"Mr. Pan Yi, you will only be 26 years old tomorrow, right? I haven't checked specifically, but you should be the youngest coach in the history of the Champions League and the history of the Champions League final. And I also heard that you are interested How do you feel about your experience in Milan when you left Milan to become the head coach of another club in order to seek a greater challenge?"

Pan Yi nodded kindly at her and replied:

"First of all, thank you very much for remembering my birthday."

"I'm a person who doesn't pay much attention to birthday rituals. Sometimes I even forget about it. But tomorrow I will live this day well."

"Because I'm going to celebrate my 26th birthday with all my colleagues!"

The surrounding reporters also laughed, applauded Pan Yi lightly, and nodded.

All over the world, everyone is happy to send their blessings to the birthday boy, and Pan Yixu's birthday wish is so special.

"As for my 25th year, also with Milan, it will be the best memory of my life."

What Pan Yi said was a bit emotional, and at the same time he did not deny the rumors that he was about to leave Milan.

In fact, almost everyone already knows that Pan Yi will leave the team next season, so it will not have any impact on the players.

"Like many children, I have had a dream since I was a child, that is to gallop on the pitch, score goals and cheer with the fans."

"But I don't have the talent to play football, so I can't become a star. So I became a coach, fighting side by side with these great stars in another way, defeating opponents one after another, and competing for honors one after another. "

"So I would like to thank Milan and I would like to thank Coach Allegri. They made it possible for me to fulfill my dream here and to have a fantastic season with a great group of people."

"Now, we have one last game left."

"I believe that we will use this trophy, which represents the highest honor of European clubs, to mark a perfect end to my season in Milan!"

Pan Yi's answer made everyone at the scene feel his love for Milan, as well as his confidence and fighting spirit.

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene!
