Li Ang faced the puzzled eyes of the players and did not give any explanation. He could not possibly say that there might be a red card in the game because he was a transmigrator.
In that case, the headlines would not be about the Champions League final, but that Inter Milan's manager, Mr. Li Ang, was not in his right mind.
Li Ang used his authority as a manager to suppress the puzzlement of the players.
He now had absolute authority in the Inter Milan locker room!
Captain Zanetti and the other veteran players of Inter Milan were convinced by him. Li Ang led the team to the league title that Inter Milan had been chasing in the first season!
Modric, Carlos, and Mata were his direct subordinates and had always adored him.
Agüero, David Silva, Marchisio, Evra, Mai Kong, and other players were brought in by him. They won the Serie A title in their first game. These players respected and were grateful to Li Ang.
Li Ang had given Ronaldo a "new lease of life." Now that Inter Milan had reached the UEFA Champions League final, this was the first UEFA Champions League final in Ronaldo's career. The Brazilian would have a chance to fulfill his dream. He also respected and was grateful to Li Ang.
The veteran, Figo? He now had the opportunity to prove himself to the world and Real Madrid on Europe's top stage. He naturally respected Li Ang, who led the team to the UEFA Champions League final.
As for Adriano? Needless to say.
Therefore, Li Ang's prestige in the Inter Milan Team was now extremely high.
Since Li Ang insisted on making arrangements for the team's possible lack of a player, the players just listened.
Then, Li Ang began to blabber on.
*****
The key was to defend well!
With one less player, the team's defense was crucial, especially in the midfield, to limit Barcelona's offense.
Then, it was the counterattack!
Yes, if the team was really short of a player, Inter Milan would have no choice but to play defensive counterattack. To go head-to-head with Barcelona in such a situation would be courting death!
How to quickly pass through the midfield during a counterattack! How to deliver a fatal pass, how to play with speed!
That was the most important thing!
Ronaldo's speed and Adriano's impact would be the key to Inter Milan's counterattack!
In addition, Modric was also given a heavy responsibility. The team needed the Croatian youngster's ability to pass and organize.
In addition, Li Ang emphasized the importance of the set piece.
Barcelona had never been a team that was good at defending against aerial balls.
The Inter Milan Team had a center forward like Adriano, as well as good headers like Materazzi and Samuels. Therefore, the opportunity for a set piece was an opportunity that Inter Milan had to work extra hard to grasp.
And during the counterattack, how to follow up on the two flanks and how to protect the backfield to deal with Barcelona's possible counterattack were all points that needed to be emphasized.
*****
Li Ang was a little hesitant on the team's starting list.
First of all, he was conflicted about the choice of goalkeeper.
According to the original history, Arsenal's goalkeeper, Lehmann, attacked and tackled Barcelona's player, Giuly. Lehmann was then given a red card by the referee, Haug.
Li Ang was deeply wary of the inertia of history.
Now, Inter Milan's goalkeeper in the best condition was César. If he sent César as the starter, once this happened, César would be sent off …
However, if he did not send César as the starter and chose Toldo as the starter, then who could guarantee that this would happen? If this did not happen, Li Ang could not be at ease with Toldo's current mediocre state.
Choosing between César and Toldo for the starting goalkeeper position was a multiple-choice question!
*****
In addition, there was another problem.
If the goalkeeper really received a red card, then Li Ang was bound to bring in a new goalkeeper and replace an attacking player!
This also meant that the attacking player would be sacrificed!
So, who should he sacrifice?
Mata?
Or the veteran, Figo?
Or another player?
This was another multiple-choice question.
Li Ang was troubled by these two multiple-choice questions. When he woke up the next morning, assistant manager Banderas was surprised to see Li Ang looking tired.
*****
"Nervous?" Banderas asked half-jokingly. In his opinion, Li Ang was nervous. This was the UEFA Champions League final. How could he not be nervous? Even he was a little nervous.
Li Ang rolled his eyes and did not answer.
"Li, you're not in a good state right now …" Banderas reminded him.
Li Ang was the soul of Inter Milan. If the players saw their manager looking dispirited, it would not be good. It would cause the players to subconsciously be nervous and worried.
Li Ang was also aware of this.
He could not let his players misunderstand.
"You're right. I should do something," Li Ang muttered. Then he went out under Banderas's puzzled gaze.
Therefore, when they had breakfast, the players did not see their manager. They waited until about two hours after breakfast was over before they saw their manager. The manager was extremely high-spirited and flamboyant.
*****
"Wow!"
"Oh oh oh!"
"So cool!"
"Boss, you're so cool!"
"Oh oh oh oh!"
Some players whistled.
Assistant manager Banderas was also stunned when he saw Li Ang appear with a flamboyant and cool hairstyle.
Yes, Li Ang did not eat breakfast. He went out early in the morning, found a barbershop, and ordered the best hairstylist in the barbershop to give him such a flamboyant hairstyle.
*****
"Coach, what are you doing?" Captain Zanetti was also "shocked" and asked in surprise.
"Today is a good day," Li Ang said with a smile. "We're going to lift the championship trophy! So, I've decided to change my hairstyle! "
With that, Li Ang looked at his players. "What do you think?"
"It's going to be flamboyant!"
"It's so cool!"
"The people of Barcelona will be surprised!"
"Don't talk about the people of Barcelona. We'll all be shocked!"
The players laughed and said one after another.
Then, there was an inexplicable confidence in their hearts. The manager was so sure that the championship was theirs that he had specially done his hair. This was really cool!
After lunch and lunch break.
In the afternoon, the team held another meeting to implement some of the details of the game.
Then, after dinner.
The Inter Milan team began to get busy. They were ready to leave for the Stade de France in Paris.
Then, when the team set off and left the hotel, countless reporters and fans were stunned when they saw the new hairstyle of the Inter Milan manager …
