When Li Ang faced the media, he directly stated that he did not fancy Ibrahimovic and that he was the one who rejected Ibrahimovic's offer to join Inter Milan. It was rare for a manager to make such a statement to a player.
Some media outlets criticized Li Ang's actions for being ungentlemanly.
Milan Gazzetta dello Sport reminded AC Milan that this was a psychological battle by Inter Milan's manager. His goal was to anger Ibrahimovic and not be fooled.
Milan Gazzetta dello Sport was right. His goal was to anger Ibrahimovic.
Even if the media guessed his goal, Li Ang was not afraid. He was using an open strategy. He understood Ibrahimovic's personality and was not worried that the Swede would not be fooled.
Sure enough, after Li Ang said this, Ibrahimovic jumped out. Not only Ibrahimovic, but his agent, Raiola, also jumped out. In an instant, the battle escalated and he achieved his goal.
Li Ang started his own blog when he was at Sporting de Gijón. As his status and achievements in the football world increased, his personal blog also gained more and more readers. In the words of some media outlets, Li Ang's personal blog was no less influential than the public media. Every day, there were many "onlookers" waiting to see Li Ang's blog updates, especially when there was a war of words.
After Ibrahimovic and Raiola jumped out, Li Ang quickly responded on his personal blog.
"Ibrahimovic said that he joined AC Milan to stop me and Inter Milan. That's ridiculous. Not to mention that he was lying about some facts, when he was at Juventus, we were the champions in the end. Does he have 'selective amnesia'? Well, let's not talk about the past anymore. It's not a gentleman's thing to open scars. Let's talk about this season. How many goals has Ibrahimovic scored? Stop us? He hasn't scored as many goals as Samuels. "
Li Ang's words were really harsh. Samuels was a defender and had scored three goals for Inter Milan in all competitions this season. Ibrahimovic had scored five goals, so he naturally had more goals than Samuels. However, this was not the right way to compare. Comparing the two players together was a great sarcasm.

Originally, he wanted to talk about Ibrahimovic asking for a high salary from AC Milan. However, he remembered that his own team's Adriano was also negotiating a contract extension with the team. If Ibrahimovic could ask for a high salary, then what about Adriano? This was a sensitive topic that would only bring trouble to the club. Therefore, he stopped in time and did not mention this sensitive topic, which was considered as letting Ibrahimović off the hook.
Li Ang also had something to say about Ibrahimovic's injury, which was the reason why Ibrahimovic scored fewer goals.
"Raiola said that Ibrahimovic scored fewer goals because of his injury? Well, I won't say anything more. The eyes of the masses are clear … Well, there is a statistic called goal average per game. "
Sure enough, after Li Ang said that, the media and fans calculated the goal average of the two teams' players. Ibrahimovic also had an injury, but his goal average was less than Diego Milito's and even less than Adriano's. Interestingly, his goal average was about the same as Balotelli's goal average. It must be known that Balotelli was only promoted from the youth team by Li Ang in order to save the frontline. Comparing Balotelli and Ibrahimovic was really …
Numbers were the most convincing. When the media brought these numbers to Raiola, Raiola's face turned black and he refused to comment. "I'm not talking to that person!"
In response, Li Ang said on his personal blog, "You can't justify yourself. Numbers don't lie, hehe."
In the face of Li Ang's merciless sarcasm and mockery, Raiola did not say anything. Ibrahimovic also did not say anything. Just as Li Ang said, numbers don't lie. Whatever he said now was useless.
Ibrahimovic was silent, but his whole person was like a powder keg that could explode at any time. In Milan, Ibrahimovic's face was frighteningly gloomy. He was also angry during training. He even quarreled with Gattuso because of a fight.

Ancelotti also saw Ibrahimovic's situation and he frowned.
Currently, in this AC Milan team, there were five strikers: Gilardino, Borriello, Inzaghi, Ibrahimovic, and Pato. There were quite a lot of strikers, but Inzaghi was still recovering from his injury. Gilardino's strength and condition were not good. Gilardino could be used, but he could not be given heavy responsibilities. As for Borriello, who returned from Inter Milan in the summer, after returning to AC Milan, his performance plummeted compared to when he was at Inter Milan. It seemed that he could not adapt to this AC Milan team and could not be used. In addition, there was the young Pato. On August 3, 2007, Pato transferred from Internacional Brasil to AC Milan for 22 million Euros. Both sides signed a five-year contract. However, according to the relevant regulations of Brazil's domestic sports law, players under the age of 18 were not allowed to play overseas. At that time, Pato was under 18 years old, so he could only represent AC Milan in official matches after January 2008.
Now, AC Milan could only rely on Ibrahimovic to score goals. At this time, Ibrahimovic's condition really worried Ancelotti.
Ancelotti could only play Ibrahimovic in this game, but the team's number one offensive weapon was infuriated by Li Ang and was absent-minded …
It was not just Ibrahimovic. The other AC Milan players were also infuriated by Li Ang's constant mention of a team that only had half of their points. Their moods were not right.
Ancelotti was a good-tempered person, but at this time, he was also angered by Li Ang. This guy was simply a mad dog. With a few words, AC Milan was in a mess. The pride and excitement of winning the FIFA Club World Cup just disappeared.
"I have always respected my opponents," Ancelotti said to the media. Ancelotti said in an interview with the media. "However, Mr. Li Ang's actions really make me unable to respect him."
Ancelotti's face was filled with grief and indignation. The reporters also sighed. What a good person. He was so angry but still spoke so politely.
Li Ang immediately responded on his blog, "Does the strong need the respect of the weak?"
Ancelotti went berserk. This good old man had never been so angry.
According to Milan Gazzetta dello Sport, it was rare for Ancelotti to lose his temper. At the end of the day's training, he gritted his teeth and gave an order to his players: the team must win this Milan derby!
Almost at the same time, the next day, which was also the day before the game, AC Milan boss Berlusconi arrived at Milan Milanello in a private helicopter. After having lunch with the players, the AC Milan boss gave an order: the Milan derby with Inter Milan must be won. It must be a big victory!
"If Li Ang's goal was to anger the entire AC Milan team, then congratulations to him. He has done it. In tomorrow's game, he will see an angry team! The anger of anger will burn him to ashes! "— AC Milan general manager Adriano Galliani said with a face full of indignation.
"Angry Birds?" Li Ang's personal blog was quickly updated. Although there was no "Angry Birds" game at this time and no one could understand this joke, they could understand that comparing AC Milan to birds was obviously not a good thing.
This bastard! At this time, he still wanted to add fuel to the fire.
