At the post-match press conference, Li Ang was asked about his thoughts on the game by the reporters. With a winner's smile, he said to the reporters, "It was a wonderful game. The victory belongs to the winner!"
Looking at the Chinese man's unabashedly triumphant look, some of the reporters gritted their teeth and had the urge to beat him up. This person's expression and tone were really asking for a beating …
Some of the reporters couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but criticize Li Ang. "Mr. Li Ang, don't you think that your actions before the match were a little too much?"
Li Ang didn't speak immediately. Instead, he stared at the reporter. The latter was baffled by his stare and even had the feeling that he had said something wrong. Then, Li Ang finally spoke. "What did I do? That's right, I did say some things, but was I wrong? What I said was the truth. " He spread out his hands. "AC Milan is indeed one lap ahead of us in terms of points. By the way, after this match, our points have increased by three more points."
He stared at the reporter and continued, "Only the weak will be afraid to talk about their strength. The real strong will first have to prove their strength. This is a manifestation of self-confidence. Of course, after saying so much, maybe you can't understand the feeling of a winner and a strong person. You haven't experienced it before, so it's understandable. It's understandable." As he spoke, he showed an understanding expression.
The reporter was furious. He was furious and wanted to rebuke Li Ang.
Li Ang pursed his lips and smiled. "I'm just joking. Don't take it personally."
Then, Li Ang sat in his seat with a smile on his face. He looked at the crowd below the field with the attitude of a winner.
Some of the reporters who wanted to criticize Li Ang all shut up. This guy's mouth was poisonous. Even when Inter Milan occasionally performed poorly, it was difficult for them to find fault with Li Ang. Moreover, Inter Milan's performance was outstanding now. The winner should be praised. Moreover, this guy was so difficult to deal with. The encounter of the colleague just now was the most obvious example.
The reporters had been slapped in the face many times. Now, they were even more cautious.
The group of people could only curse in their hearts: F * ck! Just you wait! Sooner or later, I'll beat you up when you're down!
They could only look forward to this spiritual victory in their hearts.
*****
After Li Ang's move, the press conference entered a "normal" track. Li Ang and his players were praised by the reporters, which was the privilege of the winner.
Compared to Li Ang's complacency and the praise he received, Ancelotti's experience was in stark contrast.
Ancelotti was besieged and questioned by the reporters. The media criticized AC Milan's starting lineup, as well as the on-the-spot command and substitution.
The reporters questioned why he sent Emerson as a starter.
They questioned why he hadn't replaced Emerson earlier.
He questioned why he had replaced Ibrahimović earlier.
They questioned why AC Milan was playing so passively. They were completely suppressed by Inter Milan.
In any case, all kinds of doubts and criticisms were directed at Ancelotti's head.
Li Ang sat on the side and watched the commotion. He even suspected that the reporters had been angered by him but had no way of venting their anger. Instead, they poured their anger on Ancelotti.
Poor Fatty Ancelotti.
Ancelotti looked a little embarrassed. In the end, he said, "He is willing to take all the responsibility for the loss. All the responsibility lies with him."
Then, he left the venue early.
The media, especially some of the Milan media, were very dissatisfied with this. One could only imagine what kind of indiscriminate attacks the AC Milan manager would receive in the next day's newspapers.
*****
After Ancelotti left the venue early, Li Ang had nothing to watch and was ready to leave. At this time, the reporters asked him a question.
"After Balotelli scored, he made a pregnant woman's gesture to celebrate. Is Balotelli's girlfriend pregnant?"
"You should ask Balotelli about this. All I can say is that Balotelli's goal was great! I'm very satisfied with his performance, "Li Ang said. He was actually a little confused about Balotelli's celebratory gesture.
"Balotelli is only seventeen years old. A seventeen-year-old father. Don't you think this is a little too ridiculous?" A reporter used this as a pretext to make a fuss.
Li Ang glared at the reporter. "You should ask this question to the sheriff. He will tell you how stupid this question is."
Li Ang glared at the reporter's interview permit. This person was on his blacklist. His way of dealing with this kind of person who deliberately looked for trouble was to directly ban him.

Inter Milan defeated AC Milan by a score of 4-1. This game was also the focus of the media's post-match coverage.
Defeat! The edge of hell! After the 4-1 defeat, the Italian media used these words to describe AC Milan's performance in this game. With the whole team in a slump, Emerson's performance was described by Milan Gazzetta dello Sport as a "disaster." The midfield star who used to be one of the top players in the world of football seemed to have disappeared.
"In the game against Inter Milan, AC Milan's performance was disastrous. This season, Ancelotti's team has serious problems. In the game against Inter Milan, these problems came together and led to AC Milan's defeat in the Champions League. The current AC Milan's attacking line, midfield, and defense are all unable to function properly. "
Milan Gazzetta dello Sport analyzed AC Milan's mistakes in the game and believed that AC Milan's tactical mistakes were compounded. Against Inter Milan, Ancelotti deployed what he believed to be his strongest lineup. Maldini and Oddo were on the left and right sides, with the intention of restricting Inter Milan Team's flanks. However, the old Maldini could not defend against the fast Inter Milan players, and Oddo's performance today was also very average. In the midfield, Ancelotti tried to use Emerson and Ambrosini as defensive midfielders to contain Inter Milan, but the Brazilian's frequent mistakes gave Inter Milan too many opportunities. After the midfield, Ancelotti seemed to continue to trust Emerson, but it looked like Emerson did not carry out Ancelotti's intentions very well.
The worst thing was that Emerson actually passed the ball directly to Mai Kong, which led to Inter Milan's quick counterattack. The Brazilian finally tackled his compatriot Mai Kong in the penalty area and was directly sent off with a red card. This completely destroyed AC Milan's hopes of a comeback. In addition, Ibrahimović's performance was also very dim. He was almost invisible for the entire game. In the end, he was also sent off with a red card because of his bad temper and intentional elbow.
What was even more worrying was AC Milan's midfield, which had done almost nothing in recent games. Kaka and Ibrahimović did not form a connection, and Seedorf often sleepwalked. When the football was at his feet, it was as if someone had stepped on the brakes.
In addition, when the second half of the game started, Ambrosini also lost his way. He was not able to form a certain amount of interference and interception in the midfield against Inter Milan … Throughout the game, Li Ang won a complete victory against Ancelotti. For AC Milan and Ancelotti, this is a complete fiasco! "
Corriere dello Sport criticized that in addition to the tactical mistakes, AC Milan's performance in this game also lacked courage and fighting spirit. "… In short, AC Milan's defeat in this game was comprehensive. They were suppressed tactically by Inter Milan, and the players lacked courage and fighting spirit. A fiasco resulted in this fiasco."
Corriere dello Sport obviously did not think that Ibrahimović's elbow attack was courageous. The newspaper defined Ibrahimović's elbow attack on Materazzi as' stupid '!
The media also criticized Ibrahimović's elbow attack as very bad. Turin dello Sport strongly recommended that the Italian referees' committee give Ibrahimović a severe punishment.
Obviously, the Turin people were adding insult to injury. The Turin people still hated the Swede who could not wait to escape from Juventus after the 'Calciopoli' incident.
*****
Li Ang also did not forget to add insult to injury. He expressed on his personal website that he was deeply disgusted by the bad behavior of the elbow attack. "Looking at Ibrahimović's action, I almost thought that I was watching an indiscriminate PK battle."
The media started to hype up the incident, and the Italian referees' committee had to come out and say that they were studying the video of Ibrahimović's alleged elbow attack and would give a conclusion as soon as possible.
In the face of the media's relentless pursuit, Ibrahimović was very angry after losing the game. However, under the persuasion of his agent and the club's top management, he had to come out and apologize to the 'victim', Materazzi. "I did not mean to violate him. I just wanted to hold the ball. I want to apologize to him. These things are inevitable in a football game."
In response, Turin dello Sport did not give up. It looked like they would not give up until they suspended Ibrahimović and severely punished him.
However, Li Ang did not continue to denounce them. This was because after the game, the examination showed that Materazzi did not have a fracture of his cheekbone. This also made Li Ang feel relieved.
Since the Turin people were the bad guys, Li Ang did not need to continue harping on Ibrahimović. It was a small world, and who knew if Ibrahimović would one day work together with him? He had no enmity with Ibrahimović. The words he said before the game were also psychological factors. Now that the game was over, there was no need to continue to harp on it.
The Milan derby story continued to ferment. Some media outlets exposed that the reason Emerson passed the ball to the opponent's player, Mai Kong, was because Mai Kong shouted 'here' to him in Brazilian Portuguese. Emerson was tricked in a moment of carelessness.
This media outlet cleared Emerson's name. It was not that Emerson's performance was terrible, but that the opponent was too evil and too cunning.
Prevent fire, theft, and fellow countrymen!
Regarding this, the Apennine Peninsula was very happy. The media even found Emerson and Mai Kong, the two parties involved, to verify this matter. Emerson flatly denied it. Clearly, he also knew that admitting this would only make him more embarrassed.
Mai Kong also shook his head in denial. After all, he was not lying. His words were not directed at Emerson at all. The latter was like a pig running into a tree. He ran into it himself. How could he blame him?!

The Milan derby between Inter Milan and AC Milan was the last game before the winter break. After this game, the players would be on vacation. They were going to enjoy the Christmas break.
After half a season of work, the tired players could finally relax and rest. They could go on vacation, spend Christmas with their families, and have fun while watching the game. They could watch their friends in the English Premier League, who did not have the winter break, sweat like rain on the field.
Li Ang did not go on vacation. Instead, he stayed in Milan. Although the team was on vacation, as the manager, Li Ang was busier than on game days as the winter transfer window was about to open.
He and Alice spent Christmas together in Milan.
"Darling, has the Christmas tree been delivered?" Alice asked as she was busy in the kitchen.
"I'll call again to hurry them up," Li Ang replied. He asked casually, "When is Juan coming over?"
His brother-in-law, Juan Carlos, was coming over to spend Christmas together.
"He said he had something to do and would come over later," Alice said.
Li Ang called the shop to hurry the Christmas tree. He sat on the sofa and turned on the television.
He happened to see news about AC Milan's manager, Carlo Ancelotti.
A reporter from Italian national television found Ancelotti and presented him with the new Ballon d 'Or. The Ballon d 'Or was a funny and satirical award produced by Italian national television. The winners were generally the most frustrated and unlucky well-known figures in recent times. Ancelotti's team had just suffered a crushing defeat in the Milan derby, losing both the game and the players. He was the focus of the media and met the criteria for the award.
However, perhaps because it was Christmas, Ancelotti did not care too much. Instead, he joked, "I'm very happy to win the award. I hope it will bring me a little bit of good luck. We played very well. Milan needs a little bit of luck. "
Li Ang chuckled. He was always in a good mood when he saw his peers unlucky.
However, Ancelotti was good-tempered. If Italian national television dared to find him to present the Ballon d 'Or, he would directly throw it on the ground and step on it twice.
Of course, he would not give the reporter the opportunity to present him with the Ballon d 'Or.
*****
Li Ang changed the channel and ended the tense preparation for the game. He was a little uncomfortable with the sudden quiet to enjoy a day or two of Christmas holidays.
At that moment, a pay-per-view program on Italian national channel 6 caught his attention.
The TV was showing two paparazzi filming something.
"We have now arrived at the door of Mario Balotelli's house. I believe many people are curious about the rumor that Balotelli is going to be a father. Is this rumor true or false? Does Balotelli's celebratory gesture really mean that he is going to be a father? Who is Balotelli's pregnant girlfriend? According to the information we have, Balotelli will be spending Christmas with his girlfriend. In a while, we will knock on the door of Balotelli's house. Then, it will be time to reveal the mystery … "
On the TV screen, the scene at the door of an apartment could be seen. The camera was pointed at a reporter, who made an OK gesture.
Li Ang raised his eyebrows. These two guys broke into someone's house on Christmas Eve. Were they really not worried that they would be beaten to death?
Of course, Li Ang was still faintly curious. Was Balotelli really going to be a father? This kid was going to heaven. In fact, in the past two days, the topic of Balotelli had been a hot topic among the Inter Milan players and the club.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
On the TV screen.
A reporter knocked on the door of Balotelli's house.
