The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 190: Toyota Cup (1)

Old friends meet again, naturally there is endless words.

Kaka talked about training and competition in AC Milan, and getting along with his new teammates made the listeners envious.

As the second-most Champions League team, AC Milan is a well-deserved giant and has many fans in Brazil.

Fabiano, Ricardo and others will be willing to play even if they have a chance to play in AC Milan.

It is a pity that AC Milan still doesn't look down on their players. They are national and have no EU passports. AC Milan will not waste non-European quotas on them. As a giant AC Milan, which position is not a world-class or intercontinental player?

Although AC Milan in this era has shown signs of weakening, the dead camel is still larger than the horse.

Until the phone season broke out after the 2006 season, Juventus relegated, AC Milan was penalized, many stars began to flee from Serie A, Kaka, Shevchenko transferred to leave, Maldini, Costa Kuta, Louis. Costa, Inzaghi, Seedorf and so on gradually got old, AC Milan really did not fall.

The Champions League of the 06-07 season is their last glory.

Not only is AC Milan going downhill, although Inter Milan achieved five consecutive championships in the 06-10 season and won the UEFA Champions League in the 10 season, it does not represent a recovery in Serie A.

Then, in the era when Juventus was the best in the country, Serie A was even more powerful, and it made its appearance in the European arena.

Therefore, if you want to fight Serie A and conquer the "Little World Cup", just take advantage of these years. It's a bit late for a bit of meaning.

After saying goodbye to Kaka, the players of São Paulo returned to the hotel. Rojas ruled the army severely, and everyone didn't want to touch the mold, so he spent the night in the hotel room honestly before the game.

The next morning, the team went to Yokohama International Arena for adaptive training. This stadium is the home of the Japanese J-League Yokohama Mariners. It was inaugurated in 1998 and looks stylish and modern. The grounds are of good quality and the lawns are well maintained.

At the World Cup in Korea and Japan, this venue hosted the finals at that time, and the Brazilian team defeated Germany 2-0 at this venue, proudly raising the Hercules Cup for the fifth time.

So this field is a blessing for the Brazilian team. This also gives São Paulo players the confidence of honey and feels that they can play well in the game and beat the European powerhouse AC Milan. They forgot that there are three members of the 02 World Cup winner team opposite: Cafu, Rivaldo, Kaka.

AC Milan has participated in the Toyota Cup for the seventh time. Relatively speaking, Sao Paulo is only the third time. Experience in this event is much less than AC Milan.

However, in the first two competitions, in 1992 and 1993, São Paulo defeated the opponent and won the championship. At that time, São Paulo's main right back Kafu was currently playing for AC Milan.

Not many local Japanese fans come to watch the training. For the European and South American giants, the Toyota Cup is a bit similar to chicken ribs. It has no meat and no taste. If you pay attention to it, you ca n’t talk about it.

Japanese fans are no longer enthusiastic about this annual tournament. In particular, St. Paul's lacks a little star flavor, and it is even more difficult to get attention. When AC Milan trained, there were a lot of fans.

The Italian and Brazilian media did not pay too much attention to the game, and only used a small number of pages for comment and analysis.

At the press conference before the match, AC Milan coach Ancelotti's attitude was somewhat perfunctory and careless. If he could, he didn't even want to take the team to travel thousands of miles to participate in such a trivial game.

AC Milan has struggled in the league this season, and the record in the Champions League is not very satisfactory. If there is another accident in this game, leading to the main injury, his situation will be more difficult in the second half of the season.

"We attach great importance to this game," Ancelotti's eyes were loose, and he said insincerely the same social rhetoric. "The boys are actively preparing for the game. We will present a wonderful game to the fans tonight. "

Rojas does not value this trophy. São Paulo won three heavyweight championships this season. Even adding a Toyota Cup is only icing on the cake. If the Toyota Cup fails, it will not affect the club's senior management and fans against him. evaluation of.

"We are very happy to have a chance to play against a great club like AC Milan. Everyone is very excited. The outcome is not important. The significance of this game is that this is a direct dialogue between European football and South American football. We will play in the game. Kick out his own style and go all out. "Rojas also said the scene.

"Kaka is a very good player and I think he may grow into one of the best players on the planet. He had a great time at AC Milan and I wish him a bright future. Sao Paulo will not forget him For his contributions to the team, we will be warmly welcomed whenever he wants to come back. "

The head coaches on both sides spoke so kindly, and the players naturally would not lead the battle.

AC Milan captain Maldini said in an interview with Italian media: "São Paulo is a powerful team and I am impressed by several of their players. Especially Ricardo, who is in the Confederations Cup The performance is fantastic. He is very suitable for AC Milan. If he can come, it will enrich AC Milan's play. "

In an interview with Brazilian media, Cafu, São Paulo, said: "Ricardo is one of the most exciting new stars emerging in Brazil over the years. I think he has no less than Ronaldo's potential. Players like him He has full strength to play for the European giants. If he joins AC Milan, I will welcome him and help him integrate into this family. "

Come on, all are tempting Ricardo to join.

When Ricardo ended his training, he was also blocked by the Italian media for an interview. He responded in proficient Italian: "Thanks to Paul (Maltini) and Marcos (Cafor) for their comments, I adore them, they are the best defenders in the world, and I am glad to have this opportunity to challenge them ~ www.readwn.com ~ When asked about his rejection of AC Milan's offer this summer, Ricardo smiled and answered with ambiguous words: "AC Milan is a great team and no player can refuse its call. But for my future, I still have to think seriously, and will not make any decision for the time being. "

"My contract with São Paulo is still very long, and I will continue to play for São Paulo until the situation changes."

"Kaka and I are very good friends. On the field, we are teammates with a strong mind. We often meet off the field. He can join AC Milan. I am really happy for him. He has realized his dream and blessed him in AC Milan. all the best."

So in a peaceful atmosphere, the hands of the clock slowly point to the start of the game.

At 19:00 Japan time, fireworks set off over the stadium, and several entertainment stars sang.

In the locker room of São Paulo, Roxas made the final mobilization: "We have experienced a great season and won three heavyweight honors. I know everyone is tired, but please stick your teeth for another 90 minutes Let's draw a period for this season with perfect performance! "()
