Chapter 2138 - 551: This Is Youth
Ancelotti sighed and said.
"Don’t be so pessimistic, Carlo."
Tassotti advised, "Didn’t you say the new machine is a groundbreaking invention? Maybe it will play a crucial role?"
Ancelotti looked at the machine placed on the windowsill and said, "Not maybe, but definitely!"
The next day.
Chelsea’s entire team was on the bus heading to the San Siro.
On the way, they didn’t encounter any difficulties; instead, some fans thanked them for taking care of Huang Kaiwen.
Which left the Chelsea players in a mixed mood.
Terry looked at a stadium under construction outside the window and asked quietly, "Is that St. Kevin Stadium?"
"It’s said to be. Who would have thought that guy Kevin could have a stadium named after him when we’re all players of similar caliber," Ashley Cole replied.
Terry almost burst out laughing.
Ashley Cole doesn’t even look at himself in the mirror.
Appearance is the smallest gap between him and Huang Kaiwen.
Still claiming to be of similar caliber.
There’s a thousand Gullits between Ashley Cole and Huang Kaiwen.
Cole’s interruption eased much of the tension Terry felt inside.
Terry knew that as long as they defeated AC Milan, Chelsea had a chance to lift the Champions League Trophy again.
But this match was probably the toughest of his career.
PM.
San Siro press conference hall.
Terry, Ancelotti, Guardiola, and Huang Kaiwen were already seated early.
As soon as the security at San Siro opened the doors to the press hall, journalists swarmed in like zombies.
They fought for seats at the front, causing a commotion below the stage.
The press officer had to step down to maintain order, arranging familiar media outlets in the front rows.
Seeing the audience quiet down.
Ancelotti leaned forward and said, "Originally, by arriving early, we could take more questions, but now I’m afraid that’s not possible."
"Carlo, how do you feel returning to San Siro, this should be your last time seeing AC Milan here."
"John, do you think Chelsea can win?"
"Mr. Guardiola, Chelsea is a very physically strong team, are you going to adjust your tactics specifically?"
"There are rumors that Ashley Cole’s divorce is related to you, is that true, Kevin?"
"It’s said Abramovich offered you considerable bonuses, will you go easy on Chelsea, Kevin?"
"It’s said you instructed the sale of Hummels to Chelsea, is that true, Kevin?"
"..."
Facing his old club, Huang Kaiwen instantly became the focal point.
Huang Kaiwen pulled over the microphone, smiled, and said, "You have a lot of questions, and I know what you want to ask. But I only have one answer. Chelsea is very special to me. Despite London’s terrible weather, the team allowed me to forget troubles. I had a very enjoyable time in London for those two years. I have a great friendship with Chelsea players, Mr. Kenyon, and Mr. Abramovich. But that’s no reason to let up in the match. Respecting the opponent means going all-out. As for the other questions, I don’t want to answer them at all."
Terry couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
This was truly Huang Kaiwen’s style.
He would rather not hear anything about respecting the opponent.
Guardiola immediately stepped in to mediate, saying, "Your questions are questioning Kevin’s professional ethics. We all know Kevin is the epitome of a professional player, so there’s no need to worry about him going easy. As for Chelsea? They are a great team with exceptional qualities. Facing such a team, I definitely have to make more adjustments."
"Carlo, say something."
The Italian journalist prompted.
Ancelotti raised his eyebrows and said, "Milan is where I’ve played and coached in my career. Next season, Milan will have a new stadium, so I feel very emotional right now. I hope to achieve a victory here that will show the Rossoneri my progress, but it’s very difficult."
"So will you use your machine?"
The journalist pressed.
Ancelotti, slightly impatient, said, "If you’re so interested, go buy a copy of my book."
With that, he pushed the microphone aside.
Terry hurriedly said, "I don’t know if we can win today because the opponent is very strong."
"What’s on your mind?"
A journalist with a London accent asked, "Do you not have any prediction about the win or loss of the match?"
Terry frowned and after a few seconds, said, "Yes, I estimate the team is likely to lose, because the opponent is very strong, and the opponent has Kevin. But none of this is a reason to give up. Even if there’s only a one percent chance of winning, we will do our best for victory. That’s my perspective!"
