AC Milan angrily denounced Chen Hero's nonsense, and vowed that they absolutely had not leaked this matter. As for who let the cat out of the bag, they suggested that Liverpool might also be responsible...

To this, Chen Hero shrugged his shoulders, curled his lips and said, "You did it, but you don't dare admit it, you cowards!"

AC Milan, a prestigious Serie A powerhouse, enjoys a high reputation in the world of football. When has a player ever humiliated them like this?

Chen Hero did it.

So AC Milan went crazy with accusations against Chen Hero.

But at this time, Chen Hero was silent.

He didn't need to say anything, because everyone saw AC Milan's various undignified performances in this matter.

And everyone knew that AC Milan's hands couldn't possibly be clean in this matter.

Chen Hero ignored AC Milan, which made AC Milan even more angry. But apart from roaring at Chen Hero, they had no other way. They weren't even qualified to participate in the Champions League final, so naturally they couldn't make threats to make Chen Hero suffer in the Champions League final.

So they could only endure Chen Hero's anger, and grit their teeth, hoping to have a chance to get revenge on Chen Hero next season.

In addition to AC Milan, Chen Hero also attacked Real Madrid. Because he said that the news first came from the Spanish media, which was no secret. But there was still a layer of window paper.

Then Chen Hero broke it.

He didn't directly accuse Real Madrid, but that sentence was serious enough.

Many people speculated whether Real Madrid and AC Milan colluded to specifically target Liverpool.

Although Mourinho and AC Milan had been enemies because he coached Inter Milan, he and the current AC Milan youth director, Inzaghi, are good friends, and Real Madrid also has a very good relationship with AC Milan at the club level.

This possibility exists.

Faced with speculation and questioning from the media, Real Madrid also couldn't sit still. Club president Florentino stepped forward to deny the rumors.

"This accusation is completely unfounded. Real Madrid is a very upright club, and we never do anything that damages our image and reputation..."

The team's head coach Mourinho's reply was much more direct: "Real Madrid disdains using such dirty tricks. We are not some galactic team."

Well, Barcelona got caught in the crossfire for no reason.

Mourinho was talking about old news.

When Napoli first broke into the Champions League final, Chen Hero was still in the team, and their opponent in the final was Barcelona. Before that match, Barcelona's media broke the news that Chen Hero was going to transfer to Liverpool, which detonated Napoli's powder keg. Countless angry fans flocked to Napoli's training base to demand an explanation from Chen Hero. And they gave Chen Hero the most ruthless boos during the game.

The two sides completely broke up.

Barcelona's media obviously hoped to use such things to interfere with Napoli's preparations and Chen Hero's condition.

But they ultimately failed to trick anyone but themselves.

Not only did they fail to interfere with Napoli and Chen Hero, but they aroused Chen Hero's fighting spirit.

In the end, Chen Hero scored a hat-trick in the final, helping Napoli defeat Barcelona and win the club's first Champions League title.

Mourinho is now bringing this up to mock Barcelona while facing Liverpool. He really hates Barcelona...

Barcelona's media was very disgusted with Mourinho's words, so they stopped mocking Chen Hero and Liverpool for eliminating them, and turned around and went on a rampage against Mourinho, contemptuously calling a small translator from Barcelona trying to act tough in front of us?

Seeing those Catalan media starting to make trouble, the Madrid media were not to be outdone. They ridiculed Barcelona for having empty hands this season, failing to win the league title, and being eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals. They also ridiculed Barcelona for losing 0-6 to Liverpool in the away game.

Then the media on both sides began to enter a climax of mutual spraying.

Originally, the European media were all focused on mocking Liverpool, but after Chen Hero's mockery, the firepower was diverted. The Catalan media and the Madrid media started spraying each other, the English media started criticizing AC Milan's actions. The media from other countries were watching AC Milan's jokes...

In the end, the pressure on Liverpool was invisibly reduced a lot.

In fact, after the incident at the training base was exposed, Napoli offered to invite Liverpool to use their training base. Although Milan is in northern Italy and Napoli is in southern Italy, it's always closer than going from Liverpool to Milan.

However, Liverpool declined their kindness. Although they were very grateful to Napoli for their help, Liverpool wanted to prove to those who were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves, and to AC Milan who had refused them and even publicized it, that Liverpool could still win the championship even if they didn't go to the venue in advance for training!

This is what Chen Hero meant by "toughness" to Niang.

It is also "backbone."

You must have backbone.

It seems that arriving at the final venue a few days in advance to train, prepare, and adapt to the venue before the Champions League final has become an unwritten tradition.

In last season's Champions League final, Barcelona couldn't get a training base in St. Petersburg, and even preferred to go to Moscow, just to get there a few days in advance.

So many people think that this is what you should do before the final, and if you don't, it will affect your performance and physical condition.

So Liverpool is now going to let people know that it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. We'll only go to Milan the day before the game, and we can still win the championship!

On the morning of May 24th, the entire Liverpool team boarded a plane at John Lennon Airport and embarked on their journey to Milan, Italy.

After a two-hour flight, the plane landed at Milan's Malpensa Airport.

Liverpool walked out of the airport to the cheers of Liverpool fans.

When Chen Hero came out, the cheers were the loudest.

At the airport, Chen Hero once again accepted interviews from reporters.

He is now very happy to be interviewed because the team needs him to stand at the front as a hate-attracting MT (main tank).

Facing the reporters' cameras, he said: "I like the city of Milan. Because here, I always have very pleasant memories. I also really like the Meazza Stadium, because there, I also have many good memories. The Meazza is my lucky place..."

A reporter interrupted him: "Shouldn't your lucky place be Anfield?"

This reporter originally intended to seize this loophole in Chen Hero's words to stir up trouble between him and Liverpool fans.

But Chen Hero easily resolved his attack.

He nodded: "Anfield is too."

"Is too?" The reporter was stunned, he didn't expect Chen Hero to give such an answer.

If this was a Chinese reporter, then he definitely wouldn't have asked such a stupid question. Because in China, there is a saying of "thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands." So of course, there can be more than one blessed land.

"Yes, who stipulates that there can only be one blessed land? As long as it's a stadium where I've won a game, it's my blessed land!"

Chen Hero said seriously.

And the Liverpool reporters and Chinese reporters who supported Liverpool and Chen Hero next to him couldn't help but laugh.

In the laughter, the face of the reporter who tried to sow discord turned very ugly.

After Liverpool arrived in Milan, they conducted a training session to adapt to the venue that night. Martin O'Neill was quite satisfied with the condition of the turf - the turf of the Meazza San Siro Stadium was notoriously bad in the past. It seems that the stadium has been carefully arranged in preparation for the Champions League final.

Before the warm-up training was the pre-match press conference.

Martin O'Neill and Mourinho attended one after another, but the two did not meet.

Let Chen Hero do the arrogant things, while Martin O'Neill played the role of a nice guy, appearing low-key and cautious.

He refused to answer any questions related to predicting the outcome of the game, and he didn't comment on the recent uproar.

He just said that Real Madrid is a strong team, and as Liverpool's opponent in the Champions League final, they can make Liverpool take it seriously.

And Mourinho was very upset with Chen Hero.

So he refused to answer any questions about Chen Hero.

"Chen Hero? I'm not familiar with him, so don't ask me questions about him."

As for Liverpool, the always arrogant Mourinho appeared very low-key this time. He admitted that Liverpool is strong, and it is not easy to defeat them. But... victory will ultimately belong to Real Madrid.

※※※

The night before the game was calm and peaceful, and nothing happened. Whether it was the conflict between AC Milan and Liverpool, or the love and hatred between Chen Hero and Mourinho, there was no latest progress. Not only that, but these voices were gradually weakening.

Because everyone knows. The final is just around the corner.

At this time, nothing non-football related can attract people's attention. Only football is the protagonist.

No matter how strong you are with your mouth, you still have to rely on your feet to solve the problem in the end.

So it's useless to say anything now, let's just watch the peak showdown tomorrow night.

After encountering so many accidents, can Liverpool still reach the top as Chen Hero himself said?

And can Real Madrid win the cup for the eleventh time under the leadership of Mourinho, and end Liverpool's undefeated myth in all competitions this season?

All of this will be revealed at the Meazza San Siro Stadium the next night.

Now, temporarily put all the disputes aside and wait quietly for things to get better.

Leaving aside the endless arguments, abandoning meaningless hatred, and temporarily forgetting the gimmicks deliberately created by the media. Football, at this moment, has finally returned to its original form.
