368th Century Showdown

The city of Milan is not cold at the end of March, but it is very cold, especially in the shores of Lake Como, where the air is very humid.

Yang Cheng was wearing a sky blue Nike sports sweatshirt with a hat covering his head, slowly running on the concrete road beside the lake, constantly breathing, but he did not stop and continued running along the lake road.

This is his habit. He has to run a round trip every day. The distance is not far. The round trip is about 5 kilometers, and there is no specific distance. Anyway, it is the habit that he has been sticking to since Kaiserslautern before.

According to Chris Schmidt, once a man is over 30 years old, he will not be able to afford to be injured. Because once he is injured, he will find that he is full of problems and his whole life is beginning to decline, especially his physical functions. If he does not exercise properly, he will suffer a great loss when he is old.

Moreover, Yang Cheng has developed a habit over the years, which is to think about problems while running.

His big problem now is that he will encounter Manchester United in the quarterfinals.

Starting from the second round of the Champions League group stage this season, the outside world's attention to the Champions League has obviously increased a lot compared to previous years.

Because a very important point is that looking at the second round of group stage, except for Ajax and Moscow Locomotive, all of the 16 teams are from the four major European leagues, which also makes the second round of group stage spark and attracts great attention. Many media even said that this is the most popular Champions League in recent years.

The reason is simple. Fans are more willing to see the Champions League. Of course, what they are more willing to see is the showdown between the four major leagues. After all, these four major leagues represent the strongest football force in Europe. Who would like to see the strong teams in the four major leagues abuse the weak teams in other leagues?

This situation became even more obvious in the quarterfinals. Apart from Ajax, all of them were teams in the four major leagues, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Valencia and Manchester United.

Among these eight teams, La Liga and Serie A have three teams, and only Manchester United in the Premier League, which has led many media to predict before the game that La Liga and Serie A will be fighting each other, and there will be no match for the same teams.

In fact, this guess is correct.

Inter Milan hits Manchester United, Juventus hits Barcelona, ​​AC Milan hits Valencia, Real Madrid hits Ajax.

It was a bit out of the ordinary, but everyone would find that as soon as the lottery was drawn, the whole world clapped.

Why? Because of the battle!

This reminded Yang Cheng of the popularization of the Champions League in the past, which can indeed make football more popular in Europe, but the problem is that this is a serious obstacle to the promotion of the Champions League, so the Champions League game will become increasingly ugly and less suspense.

But now it is different. The competition for the Champions League is very fierce every season, especially this season.

When he got the lottery result, Yang Cheng received a text message from Ferguson. The old man said only one sentence in the text message, "I have prepared the red wine!"

Yang Cheng replied directly, "It's time for me to take revenge!"

Everyone knows that Inter Milan fell to Manchester United last season, and Yang Cheng has indeed waited for this opportunity to take revenge for a long time, and now he has finally waited.

Since it is in the same zone, if Inter Milan crosses Manchester United and Juventus crosses Barcelona, ​​the semi-finals will undoubtedly usher in the Italian derby, which has also attracted a lot of attention.

The closer he was to his villa, the faster Yang Cheng ran. Now he didn't notice that someone was calling him behind him, and rushed forward desperately, rushed directly to the back door of his villa in one breath, and then he gasped heavily.

Every time he deliberately tried to torture himself to exhaustion before he gave up because he felt that it would be satisfying.

I was lying on the wall, constantly gasping and letting my sweat drip. This feeling was very pleasant.

"You run too fast, I can't catch up!" Aniston's panting voice came from behind.

Yang Cheng turned around, smiled slightly, and then gasped.

After a while, he took out two bottles of water from the garage door and handed over one, "When will he come back?"

"Yesterday!" Aniston said with a smile.

Last Christmas, she went back to the United States and said she wanted to see her little nephew, and she has not been back until now.

"How are you doing?" he asked casually.

It was obvious that he wasn't just asking about life, but Aniston's sleepwalking.

The latter shrugged playfully, "It's been a long time since the attack. The psychologist said, it should be cured, your method is very effective!"

Yang Cheng laughed and said, "He just came up with a random idea."

"How long will you stay here this time?" he asked casually.

"I'd rather plan to stay for a long time. When I went back, I pushed all my work again. I'm going to live a comfortable life here."

Yang Cheng nodded with a smile, "Shouldn't it be so hard?"

"By the way, you seem to have a game today. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night as thank you!"

Yang Cheng thought about it and after playing Udinese, the team was about to disband and ushered in two weeks of national team match day. He had enough time, so he nodded and agreed.

Since the team is going to challenge Udinese away today, Yang Cheng has more time to chat with Aniston for a while before going home to make some breakfast and then drive to the Pinetina base.

That night, Inter Milan defeated Udinese 1:0 away, and Yang Cheng's team ushered in another victory. Although the opponent also won, this did not hinder Inter Milan's winning situation. It was just a matter of time.

…………

…………

The players all went to the national team to report, and the players who did not have national team tasks also received a two-day vacation, and the Pinetina base immediately became quiet.

Yang Cheng walked to the windowsill of his office, stretched his waist sorely, and muttered, "Another day has passed!"

Before I knew it, it was dark again.

He was doing stretching exercises in front of the window and exercising his body. He had been doing it in front of the computer for the whole afternoon, and felt his bones slimming down and his whole body was a little uncomfortable.

He is not playing computers, but studying reports on Manchester United's recent games and watching some videos on the Internet.

There is no doubt that the three most influential teams in football today, Premier League, Manchester United, La Liga Real Madrid, and Inter Milan in Serie A. These three teams are the most undisputed kings in their respective leagues. AC Milan and Juventus have recovered this season, but it is still difficult to shake Inter Milan's status in Serie A.

Therefore, many people say that in the quarterfinals of eight, Manchester United hit Inter Milan, this is a final staged in advance, a century-long showdown in which Mars hits the earth, especially the collision between Yang Cheng and Ferguson, which is full of suspense.

Both teams have a group of outstanding top superstars, including Beckham, Ferdinand, Roy Keane, Giggs, Veron, Scholes, Gary Neville, and Diego Fran, who completely replaced Van Nistruy in his previous life and became Manchester United's leading scorer due to historical changes.

Inter Milan has the top stars in almost every position, Ronaldo, Van Nie, Nedved, Pirlo, Deco, Emerson, Lucio, Nesta... As soon as they counted, all the superstars were filled with stars.

However, there is no doubt that the most eye-catching thing about the collision between these two teams is their two head coaches, the godfather of the Red Devils, and the blue-black Caesar Yang Cheng of Inter Milan. Their rivalry scenes are always full of gimmicks.

Just now the draw was released, and Ferguson's big mouth was bombarded by the media, saying that this was a shady scene. It was specially arranged by UEFA that did not want Manchester United to participate in the Champions League final at Old Trafford, allowing Manchester United to encounter Inter Milan in advance.

This old guy is so straightforward!

This guy spoke in the morning, and at noon, a reporter came to Yang Cheng. When Yang Cheng answered this, "We don't care, but you see, Ferguson is afraid. He is always afraid of meeting us. Last season, he was just lucky!"

In the afternoon, UEFA responded, clarifying the fairness, impartiality and openness of the draws for the quarterfinals of eight knockout rounds, and said that it would investigate Ferguson and would likely be fined.

In the evening, Big Mouth explained that his statement was indeed a bit inappropriate, "I have to admit that drawing lots is fair!" That indescribable grievance.

Seeing his expression in an interview on TV, Yang Cheng laughed. Everyone knew that drawing lots was unfair, but they just couldn't say it out. Who made UEFA the only decision-maker of this event?

Inter Milan's schedule is to be hosted first and then away, which is a bit unfavorable for Inter Milan, but Yang Cheng doesn't think there will be any problems. He hopes to end this suspense in the first round, and at least he has to control enough advantages.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng's stomach suddenly started to scream in discomfort. It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that he had had breakfast today.

The players did not come to train and the restaurant at the base did not cook, so Yang Cheng decided to go home to eat.

I drove halfway and received a call from Aniston.

"Have you not come back so late?" The other side of the phone was concerned.

"I'm on the road, what's wrong?" Yang Cheng asked.

The phone was silent for a few seconds, "You forgot, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Oh, damn, sorry, I'm too busy today, where are you?"

"My house!" Aniston also smiled.

“Arrival now!”

Ten minutes later, Yang Cheng drove back to his home, parked the car, and went to the next door.

The door was still unlocked like last time, but after entering, the hostess was waiting, and this time she didn't fall asleep.

"I'm starving to death!" Yang Cheng went straight to the restaurant without hesitation.

When this guy was hungry, he would eat voraciously, without any image he should have taken into consideration when eating in front of a beautiful woman.

But often the more this happens, the easier it is to give people a feeling of being close. On the contrary, those guys who look gentlemanly and graceful in everything they do all day long often have a rotten stomach.

"How is it? How is it?" Aniston asked with concern when he saw Yang Cheng wiping his mouth.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Yeah, it's not bad!"

Aniston immediately laughed. Just as he was about to say the next sentence, Yang Cheng said another sentence that almost made her hang.

"The main reason is that I'm too hungry!" The guy laughed.

Aniston glared at him with a nearly murderous look, "Will anyone who gives a good review die?"

"Uh... Jennifer, you put a lot of salt when you cook!" After saying that, he was already laughing.

Aniston had no choice but to do anything about him, he was so angry and funny, "You go to the living room to sit first, I'll get some fruit."

Yang Cheng looked at her angry expression and kept laughing. Aniston's cooking skills were really not very good, but the most important thing was that he was used to eating Chinese food.

As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Yang Cheng felt something under his butt. He took it out and saw that it was another bracelet.

Looking at this layered bracelet made of small jade, Yang Cheng felt it was very strange. According to reason, Aniston should attach great importance to it, so why did he fall it all day long?

"Hey, Jennifer, your bracelet!" Yang Cheng twisted the bracelet with two fingers and said with a smile.

"Ah, damn it, it fell again!" He saw Aniston rushing out with a plate of fruit.

Half kneeled in front of Yang Cheng, who looked like he was proposing. After taking the bracelet, he carefully put it back on his wrist. At this moment, Yang Cheng found that her hands were also very beautiful, fair and slender, not inferior to her feet at all.

"I'll help you!" Seeing her wearing a bracelet in a hurry, Yang Cheng smiled and reached out to help.
