The Inter Milan Team arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.
At the airport, Inter Milan was surrounded by media reporters, and Li Ang was given special attention.
Regarding the Champions League final between Inter Milan and Manchester United.
Regarding Li Ang's departure from Inter Milan.
Regarding Li Ang's future.
These were undoubtedly the focus of the media's attention.
Li Ang looked serious throughout and did not accept any media interviews. The Inter Milan team boarded the bus and headed to the hotel under the protection of the airport's security personnel.
When they arrived at the hotel, the team received a baptism of media flashes as usual.
Li Ang also did not accept any media interviews, but he asked the players to sign autographs at the hotel entrance for the Inter Milan fans who had been waiting there for a long time.
Inter Milan and Manchester United would meet in the Champions League final, and the fans of the two teams began arriving in Moscow on Monday. For security reasons, the two teams of fans arrived at different airports. Early on Monday, the first Manchester United fan chartered plane arrived at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport. Almost the same afternoon, the Inter Milan fan chartered plane arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport.
According to the media's predictions, nearly 30,000 British fans would come to Russia to watch the Champions League final, while more than 20,000 Inter Milan fans would come to Moscow from Italy.
A total of about 20000 fans from both sides would choose to fly to Moscow.
The notoriety of the British fans spread far and wide, and the Russian police were on high alert. The British police assured Moscow that they would strictly check the fans' identities at the British airports to prevent football hooligans from boarding flights to Moscow.
On the Italian side, the Italian police also said that they would step up their efforts to prevent fans with violent tendencies and criminal records from traveling to Moscow.
In an interview, Moscow's police chief, Sergei Koznov, said that Moscow deployed more than 7,000 police officers to patrol the main streets and monitor the fans with the help of the British and Italian plainclothes police. The British and Italian embassies in Russia had jointly issued a warning to the fans of the two countries, reminding them that smoking and drinking in Moscow's Red Square were illegal and could even lead to arrest.
According to the Associated Press, some senior police officers from Manchester and Milan would also fly to Moscow. The role of the Manchester and Milan police is mainly to assist the Russian police and do everything possible to avoid clashes between fans of both sides.
Inter Milan's manager, Li Ang, and team captain, Zanetti, were also interviewed by Inter Milan's official radio station. They urged the fans to enjoy the game while paying attention to their safety, stay rational, avoid conflicts, and focus on watching the game safely.
*****
After a brief exchange with the fans, the team checked into the hotel.
After that, Li Ang called the whole team for a meeting in the hotel's conference room. He had something to say.
Faced with the restlessness within the team, he could not sit still.
He had something to say.
Even if Li Ang wanted to leave, it would be after these two finals. Before that, he was still the manager of Inter Milan. He was still the king here!!!
"I'm very sorry for causing such a big commotion before such an important final. I know that everyone's attention is not focused enough right now, and some of your thoughts are in a mess. I can understand, but as the manager of the team, what I have to say is, don't be distracted, don't let your imagination run wild, and focus all your attention on what should be done!!! "
"There are only two games left in my time at Inter Milan!!! These last two games, two finals!!! I don't want to leave any regrets because this is the final sprint of the season that we have worked hard together. One step forward is the crown!!! "
"These two finals, of course, now we are only talking about the Champions League final with Manchester United. I only have one goal — to be the champion." Li Ang raised a finger. "In these days, we have worked together and worked hard together. I am honored to be able to work with such excellent players like you. Yes, in my eyes, my players are the best. I am a very picky person. I only choose the best players!" Li Ang said.
There was a laugh at the scene. It was Balotelli, but the kid soon noticed that the others around him were not laughing. They were all very quiet. Beside him, David Silva was even about to cry. Balotelli was stunned at first, and then he was silent. Although the kid's brain was not normal, he was not heartless.
"The final game, the final stadium, the stage of the final, the most glorious stage. Perhaps there is no better stage for a farewell than this!!!" Li Ang said seriously. He paused and took a deep breath. Mata, Modric, and the others sitting in front saw that the boss's eyes were a little red.
"I hope you will work hard with me to fight for the championship title! Because this is the best reward for us, the best coach, the best players, the best memorial!!! " Li Ang squeezed out a smile. In the past, when he said these humorous words, there would be a knowing laugh. But this time, there was no laughter …
"Cheer up. I am still the manager of Inter Milan and your boss. In the future … In the future, in front of your coach, I don't care what you want to do. But now, you have to listen to me." Li Ang continued to say humorous words in an attempt to ease the atmosphere, "Don't think that I'll relax my demands on you just because I'm leaving. I'm counting on the next two championships to leave with glory. I'll be angry with whoever ruins my plans!"
Still, no one laughed.
Li Ang took a deep breath and looked around at his players. "I won't joke anymore. The championship title belongs to you. It is the best reward for you. If you don't get the championship title, I will be sad because in my heart, you are the best!"
"Woo …" Someone cried. It was Adriano. The Brazilian star player was actually an extremely sensitive person.
It was not just Adriano. Many of the players' eyes were red.
"I …" Li Ang opened his mouth, but his voice was choked with sobs.
He had something else to say, but he was stuck. This was the team that he had built single-handedly. This was his team of champions. He had worked hard with these players and swept the whole of Europe with victories and trophies. His relationship with these players was very good. It was much better than the relationship between the general manager and the players.
"I … I am proud of you," Li Ang said. "You are the champions!!!"
With that, Li Ang pushed open the door of the meeting room and turned to leave …
Behind him were the players who had mixed emotions and were venting their feelings. As professional players, parting had long been a common thing. However, at this moment, there was a feeling of reluctance to part, and the emotions of parting diffused.
Banderas, Mihajlović, Stramaccioni, and the other coaching staff looked at this scene. They were all moved. As a manager, they were able to do this. If they could leave a team like this when they coached in the future, they would have no regrets.
"Champions!" The team captain, Zanetti, stood up. The gentle captain was emotional. He waved his fists and shouted.
"Champions!" Everyone stood up, waved their fists, and shouted.
At this moment, all the hesitation and all the random thoughts were gone. There was only one thought in everyone's mind:
Champions!
Send off their manager, Li Ang, with the championship title and the trophy!!!
Champions as a gift!
Farewell as a gift!
