May 7, 2008, the second leg of the 2007/2008 Champions League semi-finals.

AC Milan home vs Manchester United. The game has not started yet.

In the second floor box at San Siro Stadium, Zhang Yang threw himself into the sofa. If AC Milan fans saw their new idol now and look, they would probably be stupid.

Zhang Yang caught a cold. He didn't know why he caught a cold, but this disease came strangely. However, this seemed to make Zhang Yang feel a little sad because of his injury. It seems that God doesn't want to play in this game, well.

"BOSS, please drink water." Mikeko poured a glass of boiled water and handed it to Zhang Yang.

When there were outsiders, Mieko no longer called Zhang Yang as her master, but now she changed to a boss. Although this is not as evil as the master, seeing a pretty island girl calling herself a boss with a pious look on her face, Zhang Yang was still very proud.

Mendes has long been used to the story of Zhang Yang's slutty bag. He sat on another sofa and looked at the stadium with wise eyes.

The game is being broadcast live on the large-screen TV in the private room. Although the game has not started yet, the commentator is already talking nonstop.

"This game is crucial for AC Milan and Manchester United. The winner between them will advance to the final of the Champions League this season. In another semi-final, the second leg has ended. Chelsea eliminated Liverpool and Abramovich's team won another ticket to the game first." Sky TV commentator Flores said.

"At the beginning of the season, Abramovich fired Mourinho's squid and let Israeli Grant take over. Everyone was waiting to see this Israeli joke. However, no one expected Grant to bring Chelsea to the Champions League final!" Rossi said with a smile, "However, I don't think this gentleman can be supported by Abramovich for a long time."

Obviously, Rossi means that Grant is just a spare tire after Mourinho's dismissal, and is just a transitional coach. However, no one expected that Grant could actually bring Chelsea to the final of the Champions League. This was an unexpected surprise. However, the spare tire is a spare tire after all, and after the end of the season, it is very likely to be replaced. Unless Chelsea can really win the Champions League, they may be able to continue to stay.

Not only are these two Italian commentators not optimistic about Grant, but in fact, in England, they always criticize Grant more than praise. Even if Chelsea reached the final, Fleet Street still said that this is the foundation laid by Mourinho, and the Israelis are just lucky people to pick peaches.

An English tabloid even joked that Grant became Chelsea's head coach just because he listened to the big boss. It was almost said that Grant gave his butt to the Russian rich.

In fact, although Grant has been criticized, he is not the incompetent person as the media calls it. At the age of 46, Grant Koi became the youngest head coach in the history of the Israeli national team. He led the team to achieve outstanding results in several games, which made him the most successful head coach in the history of the country. Leading a young and inexperienced team, he kept the Israeli team unbeaten in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, only after France and Switzerland missed the German World Cup. In 10 qualifiers, Israel won 4 and 6 draws. His complete record in coaching Israel was 33 games, 14 wins, 13 draws and 6 losses. This record is very good for this third-rate European national team.

In June 2006, Grant became the football department head of Portsmouth. On the South Coast, he fought side by side with head coach Harry Redknapp and experienced a successful season. Behind Redknapp's medal of merit is half the credit of the Israeli.

In July 2007, Grant came to Stamford Bridge and served as the head of the football department. Just two months later, the Israeli unexpectedly replaced Jose. Mourinho became the head coach. The Israeli coach led Chelsea to the Champions League final and completed a task that Mourinho did not complete.

Of course, Grant's resume may be good, but in the eyes of English reporters who have met big-name coaches such as Ferguson, Wenger and Mourinho, nothing is wrong. In Chelsea, Chelsea stars seem to be not interested in Grant. In a word, Grant cannot keep the scene.

Hearing two commentators talking about Grant, Zhang Yang asked Mendes, "What is Mr. Mourinho doing recently? He hasn't interrupted his work yet?"

Mendes is not only Zhang Yang's agent, but also Mendes' agent. The most outstanding stars in the super agent are Zhang Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco and Mourinho.

"Jose." Mendes heard Zhang Yang ask about Mourinho and said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly ask him?"

"Just ask casually."

"He might start a new job this summer." Mendes smiled, "You might meet him at that time."

"Come to Milan to coach?" Zhang Yang was stunned, but he shook his head immediately, "Impossible, I haven't heard that Carlo (Ancelotti)'s coaching position is unstable." At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly smiled, "Are you talking about next door?"

"That's right." Mendes nodded.

"Has it settled?" Zhang Yang asked.

"It's seventy or eighty percent." Mendes said after thinking.

"That's settled." Zhang Yang knew that Mendes was a meticulous person. Since he said it was 70% or 80%, it was almost 99%.

"So you can say that."

"Poor Mancini." Zhang Yang smiled. This was not a gloating. He and Mancini had no hatred. However, this is true. Mancini is indeed pitiful. It seems that the rumors that Mancini will be fired even if he defended the league successfully.

"Jose mentioned you to me today," Mendes said suddenly.

"What?" Zhang Yang's ears stood up.

"What else can I do? He hopes you can go over and help him." Mendes said, looking at Zhang Yang's reaction. Although he is Zhang Yang's agent, he knew that his player was very independent. Although he was a little childish sometimes, he had a certain idea on these big things.

"Impossible." Zhang Yang shook his head, "I just came to Milan for a year. Why did he leave so quickly? Besides, even if he leaves, he wouldn't go to the next door."

This is not that he hates Inter Milan, but in Zhang Yang's idea, even if he transfers in the future, he will not go to the mortal enemy of the team he is playing for, which will make it difficult for him to do. This is not only the feelings for the team he plays for now, but also the thanks for the fans' support. One thing that must be mentioned is that Zhang Yang is very supportive in Marseille, and the fans support him very much and regard him as a city hero. In Milan, although it has not reached that point, although the senior management still regards Kaka as the first banner, fans like Zhang Yang very much. Zhang Yang's roar after scoring the goal has long become the victory of San Siro Stadium, making them excited.

"I just mentioned it casually," Mendes smiled and called the topic over. What he was thinking about in his mind was indeed Berlusconi's recent remarks. Although Zhang Yang did not say them, Mendes could feel that this kid was very unhappy.

Mendes was not very happy about this. He thought Berlusconi was making a big deal, which was nice and to put it bluntly, but he had no mind and was very serious about a young player. In Mendes's opinion, Zhang Yang was just a young young man and might be a bit reckless. However, it was not bad in essence. This was seen from the fact that Zhang Yang's mentor Fernandez and current AC Milan head coach Ancelotti was able to get along with Zhang Yang very happily.

Fernandez is Zhang Yang's mentor, and Zhang Yang respects Fernandez, so there is no need to say that Ancelotti didn't like Zhang Yang at the beginning. Zhang Yang had a fair impression of Ancelotti at that time, but after a season, the two of them worked together quite happily, and some media waiting to see Zhang Yang and Ancelotti's disagreement were disappointed.

This may be related to Ancelotti's personality. He is very tolerant of players. Especially after Ancelotti contacted Zhang Yang, he realized that this young man might have a more perverse personality, but his attitude towards games and training is absolutely nothing. This is the most basic and what the head coach values ​​the most. As for the others, Ancelotti gradually touched Zhang Yang's pulse. Just think of him as a young man who sometimes likes pranks, although sometimes pranks are a bit too much. However, this is not an insurmountable difficulty.

Therefore, Ancelotti's attitude towards Zhang Yang is not strong, but when he should say it, he scolds him when he should be scolded. When he should be praised, he may also invite Zhang Yang to his home as a guest. This shows Ancelotti's attitude, and in his work, he treats Zhang Yang as a junior in private. This may seem a bit surprised to outsiders, or if he thinks about it carefully, it is very old-fashioned, but Zhang Yang takes this trick. After a season, there is no friction between the master and the apprentice, but it is good.

In Mendes's opinion, Berlusconi and Zhang Yang are a bit too far. As for Mendes, of course, Mendes also knows that Milan, which Belle hopes to create, has a noble temperament, and his grassroots background, is inevitable. If Kaka does not have Kaka, Zhang Yang's goal-scoring ability and Zhang Yang's strength may be able to win a core position for Zhang Yang. However, with Kaka, a Brazilian golden boy who is almost the "most perfect example of professional players", in Bayer's eyes, who is suitable to be the core and who is the first flagship star promoted by the team is obvious. Zhang Yang does not mean that Zhang Yang is not as good as Kaka, it mainly depends on the preferences of the big boss.

Although Zhang Yang did not express his intention to leave AC Milan, as an agent, Mendes must consider various possibilities and he must prepare for the future.

Mendes suddenly said that Mourinho wanted Zhang Yang to go to Inter Milan, which was also a test, and he wanted to see Zhang Yang's attitude.

Now it seems that Zhang Yang may not have the intention to leave Milan, but it does not seem to be as repulsive as before.

Could it be that this kid also realized that even if he has all his abilities, he is unlikely to be the boss's destiny?

At this time, a burst of cheers broke out in the stands of San Siro Stadium. The players on both sides had appeared. Zhang Yang also stood up and applauded. Today he was absent due to injury. He felt that the team was unable to fight on the court when he needed him and felt a little guilty. At this moment, all he could do was cheer for his teammates in the stands.

In this game, Zhang Yang was absent due to injury, and Ancelotti sent veteran Inzaghi on the front line, and adopted a single forward formation.

In the midfield, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Ambrosini and Brokey started.

On the back line, the right back is Kafo, the center back is the partner of Nesta and Simici, and the left back is the old captain Maldini.

Nesta returned from injury, which is the biggest good news for AC Milan fans after Zhang Yang missed the game due to injury.

"Just from AC Milan's starting roster, Ancelotti has to defend this game." As a 'super agent', Mendes is of course very well aware of the ball. Ancelotti only played one striker in Inzaghi, with three blue-collar workers in the midfield including Gattuso, Brokey and Ambrosini. This is to fight against Manchester United in the midfield to block Manchester United's offensive.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything, he didn't think so much about whether to attack or defend, which is the question the head coach considers. What he is thinking now is that he is not able to fight on the court and personally fight for the final tickets of the Champions League final. It is a great regret in life.
