Never underestimate a champion's heart, whether it's a player's or a coach's.
Before the night of the showdown to Paris, you can always believe in Real Madrid - the Galaxy, which is still behind by 1 goal in 89 minutes, with a wild wave of 10 minutes and 3 goals, has blocked the dream of the Premier League meeting the final again.
Now this real madrid team, which has repeatedly reversed and used its resources to the extreme, has no Zidane's metaphysics, but Ancelotti's "open card" without secrets.
From the miracle of Istanbul 17 years ago, to the permanent collection of various "aircraft carriers" to recent years, to the downward employment in recent years, the habit of being fired... Ancelotti, 63, played a fierce counterattack in the twilight of his coaching career.
When Orsato blew the final whistle, and his son David hugged tightly, tearful An Shuai, instantly broke the defense - the Champions League three consecutive Real Madrid, the template and players are actually from An Shuai, and now the old subordinates are with him, Phoenix Nirvana.
Carlo Ancelotti returned, activating the Real Madrid veterans.
Want to hack me? I hack myself
As long as I hack myself first, no one will hack me - An Shuai, who knows this well, after completing the greatest reversal in the history of the Champions League semi-finals, the opening remarks at the press conference laughed the whole audience.
"When Rodrigo equalised, we had the psychological advantage. This happened a lot of times, like the final in Istanbul before, when Liverpool equalized, and then the situation of the game was completely different, and the strength of the team was also subverted. ”
Even new fans will definitely be on the lookout for istanbul wonders. In that era when "aircraft carrier opening" has not yet become a hot word, the laughing stock left by An Shuai and Milan to the world is that it is absolutely impossible to "open champagne in advance", and on the Chinese Internet, An Shuai has a malicious title - millennium old two.
Even that season, Milan won Serie A early, and Ancelotti won the first league title in his life.
Ancelotti, born in 1959, according to the Chinese genus Xiao Yang, and his early career, is also like a scapegoat that can be picked up at any time, only carrying a black pot to eat dumb losses, there is no life to fight back, once the record slides, it must be the one who is taken out to "sacrifice to heaven".
Ancelotti unleashed Benzema's greatest energy.
Before the Miracle of Istanbul, An Shuai, who had coached Juve and Milan, did not let the two fans say a "good" word: the Bianconeri hated him for setting a Serie A runner-up score twice, hated him for being killed in the rain in Perugia, and insulted him for "pigs can't coach".
Milan fans scoffed at his streak for being only realistic, changing the "Christmas Tree" to cater to Berlusconi; being able to play DePortuna 4-1 in the first leg of the Champions League and a 4-0 away backhand.
And similar malice is not uncommon during the 10 years of "downward employment" of An Shuai: as the defending champions of the Premier League, he was fired from the second season before the end of the season; he was criticized in Greater Paris for leaving Ibrahimovic; he was regarded as the culprit of the locker room turmoil at Bayern, and Rummenigge, who was a peer, did not give himself face at all.
Even after "technical poverty alleviation" in Everton and briefly reached the top, they were all disgusted with money and did not spend less, and the league played a tiger...
Black Ancelotti, almost an enduring terrier in football. But when it comes to Black Ancelotti, no one is better than Ancelotti herself. An Shuai, who has been with all kinds of rotten stems for many years, never minds that he continues to become the male protagonist in the paragraph.
When coaching Chelsea, in the face of the British reporter's ill-intentioned "Are you too fat" question, An Shuai pretended to be confused: "The British food is so delicious, I really can't control my mouth." "I still use English with a strong Italian accent and a short vocabulary.
At the scene of Alonso's retirement ceremony, when the Spanish midfielder mentioned that he had won the Champions League for Liverpool, Ancelotti grabbed the microphone again - "You know, that trophy was originally mine." ”
The older you get, the more retrograde you get
Fist fear is the truth that football is invincible, and it is also common in the coaching industry.
In today's football world, the post-70s young marshals are in charge, the post-80s are eager to try, and the post-60s can fly against the trend like Klopp, which is a rare existence like a unicorn. As for the post-50s? Please, they should go home and hug their grandchildren.
Under the tide of liking the new and tired of the old, An Shuai, who already has an exceptionally old face and has grayed his hair in recent years, has long been equal to the past. After all, Zidane, as his chief disciple, has not yet reached the age of confusion, and is already holding 3 Champions Leagues ready to enjoy life.
Mourinho, who was always full of thorns in his words, changed his coaching grade from Manchester United to Tottenham hotspur and then to Rome, went out of the cup from the Champions League to the Europa League to the European Cup, and the defeated opponents from Barca to Manchester City to Bode Shine...
The Internet has no memory, and the football world has none. When Ancelotti invented the "4 No. 10" and the "Christmas Tree", he was still a "young and middle-aged expert" in the 45-year-old, but today, this has become a crime that An Shuai has not been able to eat and change.
The most typical is Bayern, when inviting an shuai, he must be called a "tactical master", the desire for change is overflowing with words, and when he gets rid of the italian coach, he reneges on his word.
But it is also in such a malicious environment, the humble An Shuai travels to Europe, and he can always gain something everywhere he goes, even if he has frequently gone to the field in recent years, he can always quickly find a new job, and he is either a rich man or a new upstart.
The owners he served successively included chaebols, politicians, local tycoons, celebrities, and even less villains with despicable means and abhorrent conduct. But whether it is a grand plan such as Berlusconi and Florentino, a lot of money such as Abu and Helefi, or a cloud of rain like DeLorentis, An Shuai can deal with it calmly.
Although the ending may not be satisfactory, the simple, generous and dedicated An Shuai has been recognized by all walks of life.
Benzema deserves the Ballon d'Or.
Without him, only because Ancelotti sang what songs on what mountain, put himself in the shoes of the players, and maximized the balance between tactics and individuals.
It is not difficult to understand why Real Madrid, who never ate the grass before 2010, made an exception for Carlo Ancelotti and Zidane: in fact, the latter was not only brought out by An Shuai, but also resigned for the first time with negative and forced palace meaning, which was not an abnormal process.
But Ancelotti and Zidane are significantly different, the latter taking over the stall left by the teacher who still has the strength to fight, while the manager has to face this season is Ramos and Varane leaving, bringing in only one Araba, and Bale, who is not good at everyone, and there is a Hazard lying on the hospital bed.
Such an old, weak, sick and disabled team, Mo said that the two-front battle, can not be left behind in La Liga and the Champions League, it is not easy, but Ancelotti handed over the examination paper, is the league 4 rounds of early coronation, one game away from the 14th Champions League in the history of the team.
This time, An Shuai and Real Madrid chose each other again.
Real Madrid rebuild, still need to be a manager
There is no doubt that the Real Madrid fans of this night are the happiest people in the world, but when the unexpected happiness is followed by three, a happier annoyance has also surfaced - is it necessary to start another cycle after the reconstruction period?
The Real Madrid manager will always be one of the most thankless positions in football. And An Shuai's situation is far worse than that of his predecessors.
Economically, Real Madrid, which has experienced the failure of Hazard's investment, is becoming more and more conservative, purging the championship team at the same time, only signing expired stars and potential new stars, sitting on the highest salary budget in La Liga, but refusing to test the waters, allowing Mbappe to join the shouts, so far unmoved.
In the external environment, the Galaxy Battleship, which has completely torn its face due to the formation of the European Super League and UEFA, has been continuously targeted for more than a year: the difference in the knockout of real Madrid in this Champions League is rare in history, especially the 1/8 final of the world's big draw, which confirms all kinds of malice against Real Madrid.
Even if we look back at Real Madrid's thrilling promotion process, in addition to the knowledge of An Shuai, Real Madrid's 4 Champions League victories in the past 8 years are the magic weapon of the team. Today, 13 of them have participated in the Champions League trifecta in Kiev four years ago, and the vast majority of Manchester City, as opponents, only have embarrassing memories of losing the final last year.
Although Real Madrid has been "failing without winning the Champions League" for many years, the bottom line can not be eaten after all, compared to Manchester City and Liverpool, which are armed to the teeth, and Chelsea and Paris, which can "open up to five", and even Barca, who have ended the losing streak in the national derby, Real Madrid have no significant advantage to speak of.
Under the idea that team improvement is better than reform, Florentino may not need a new coach with his own system, but an old helmsman who carefully sails the ship of ten thousand years.
Just like the person in charge of the first phase of the Galaxy battleship, it was Bosque, who was born in the Real Madrid echelon and was also known for his good old man.
After all, the current Real Madrid need Benzema, who continues to play the key mr. Modric, who needs a flash of inspiration to kill, and Nacho, Carvajal and Casemiro who are open-minded and desperate on key occasions.
And what can keep all this is precisely the fat man who was once the most unpopular.
Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as old, honestly do not deceive me. (Supine Braces/Yang Jian)
