“Goooooaaaaal！”
"In the 41st minute of the game, Inter Milan is already leading by three goals at home!"
"Adriano! Oh, oh, oh, oh! The Brazilian's recent form is really hot! This is his second goal in today's game! "
Amidst the commentator's cheers.
Adriano went around the back of the goal, flew over the billboard, and rushed to the back of the running zone.
He faced the Inter Milan fans in the north stands and made a gesture of lifting his jersey and kissing the team emblem on it.
"During this period, there have been a lot of transfer rumors about Adriano. Many media outlets have vowed that he will go to this club, to this club … And the deadlock on the contract extension between Adriano and Inter Milan has also put a question mark on Adriano's future. Adriano is now using this method to express his sincerity to the Inter Milan fans. He is telling the fans that he loves this team. How can he leave?"
Sure enough, Adriano's approach received a warm response from the Inter Milan fans.
The Inter Milan fans in the stands shouted "King!" one after another.

Li Ang also applauded on the sidelines. He was very satisfied with Adriano's attitude. A mentally and physically healthy Adriano was definitely the best striker on the planet in Li Ang's view. He was certainly very satisfied to have such a player.
In the stands, Moratti also smiled and applauded. Now Moratti was in a very good mood. In the summer of 2005, he went against all opposition and invited Li Ang to coach. This opened a new era for Inter Milan. It was Moratti's proudest thing. Adriano had joined Inter Milan before Li Ang came to the team. In a sense, this was a gift from Moratti to Li Ang. He regarded Adriano as his son. Adriano had pledged his loyalty to Inter Milan. No one was happier than Moratti.
The Inter Milan players were also very happy. The team scored the third goal and the victory was in sight. They were happy. As an important member of the team, Adriano had pledged his loyalty to the team. This made them very happy. The stability of a championship team was very important.
Everyone was very happy. The only person who was not very happy was probably Adriano's agent, Rinaldi, who was in the VIP box.
Adriano had used such an action to express his loyalty to Inter Milan. This affected his efforts to negotiate a higher salary for Adriano's contract extension with Inter Milan.
You have already pledged your loyalty. How can I continue to bargain with you?
In fact, some of the rumors about Adriano's transfer were released by his agent, Rinaldi. He used the favor other teams had for Adriano to put forward higher demands on Inter Milan.
In addition, it must be mentioned that Rinaldi might have only wanted to use other clubs to put pressure on Inter Milan and ask for the highest salary in Serie A for Adriano. However, during this process, he did come into contact with some of the other powerhouses. The other party gave Rinaldi some tempting offers, which made Rinaldi start to have other ideas.
However, Adriano's pledge of loyalty to Inter Milan now made Rinaldi a little unhappy.

Adriano did not know that his celebration had caused his agent's dissatisfaction and headache. He was just too happy after scoring the goal.
After Li Ang's "psychological treatment," Adriano, who had his psychological knot removed, was now very happy. He was in good condition and happy in the team. His teammates trusted him, the fans liked him, the boss liked him, and the manager trusted and valued him very much. In addition, Adriano had always been grateful to Li Ang. He really did not want to leave Inter Milan, so he did not think there was anything wrong with pledging his loyalty to the team.
Because of Adriano's goal. Inter Milan led CSKA Moscow by 3: 0 before the end of the first half of the game.
Finally, at the end of the first half, the score of the game was temporarily fixed at 3: 0. In this game, Inter Milan firmly controlled the rhythm and initiative from the beginning of the game, not giving CSKA Moscow the slightest chance. And the score of 3: 0 showed all of this.
*****
On the television, Motson and his partner, the English football legend Gary Lineker, were commenting on the first half of the game.
The two were full of praise for Inter Milan and at the same time sarcastically said that CSKA Moscow manager Gazev's provocation before the game was ridiculous.
The English did not have a good impression of the Russians. This was not only because of the British Empire's traditional ideological opposition to the former Soviet Union, but also because of the pride of the English. Although Serie A had declined, it was once a small World Cup. The English still held a certain amount of respect for Serie A. A powerhouse in the Russian Premier League? Sorry, never heard of it.
John Manny looked at the boss. He was worried that the words of the two commentators would anger the boss.
"How's the negotiation with Adriano's agent going?" Abramovich suddenly asked.
Chelsea had been in contact with Adriano's agent. Abramovich had always admired Adriano. In the summer after Inter Milan won the 20052006 UEFA Champions League, Chelsea had launched an "attack" on Adriano. At one point, Chelsea had raised the offer to 45 million pounds, which was considered a sky-high price in this era. If it was done, it would be enough to enter the top ten of the list of players' transfer prices. However, Inter Milan had flatly refused at the time.
After Chelsea hit a wall, they temporarily shelved their coveting of Adriano. However, now that Adriano's contract renewal with Inter Milan was apparently at an impasse, Chelsea was tempted again.
"According to our observations, his agent, Rinaldi, seems to be interested in facilitating the transfer. The problem is the player's personal attitude, which still needs to be done," John Manny said.
"Are there any difficulties?" Abramovich asked. He had some doubts. According to his request, Chelsea had offered a sky-high salary for Adriano. If the transfer was successful, Adriano would get his first year in football. He did not think that in the face of the temptation of money, there was a so-called true loyalty. Adriano's reluctance to leave Inter Milan might just be because the temptation was not strong enough.
"Adriano has a close relationship with the Inter Milan manager, Mr. Li Ang. He respects the China manager very much," John Manny said.
"Oh?" Abramovich was first stunned, then glanced at the television. The second half of the game was about to start. The camera panned to Inter Milan's technical area. The Inter Milan manager, Li Ang, was sitting there with his legs crossed, looking relaxed and confident.
