Chapter 67 Use this championship to say goodbye, Forza milan!
"Sign Li Ang! Sign Li Ang! He will become the cornerstone of our midfield for the next fifteen years!"
"If Galliani let Leon eventually return to Real Madrid, he would be derelict in his job! Why didn't he include a buyout clause?"
"We can still talk to Real Madrid. It's still early before the end of the season. I believe we still have a chance to buy out Li Ang's contract directly."
"That's because you don't know Mourinho well enough. Liang is his favorite midfielder. Look at Liang's progress after coming to us. He is an absolute genius! Mourinho will never stop there.
Let him leave Real Madrid like this!"
"I can't accept this fact! Can't we renew Li Ang's lease after this season? Even if we can't buy it out, can we renew Li Ang's lease for another season?"
Milan fans, who are divided, have been quarreling over Mourinho's interview and speech on the Internet and major forums.
Milan's performance in the first half of the league this season was actually very good.
But compared with the Milan team after Li Ang joined, Milan's performance in the first half of the season can be said to be at a lower level.
Because Li Ang's arrival not only made Milan's midfield defense more outstanding and stable, but also gave Pirlo a second spring.
Looking at these two points alone, Milan has already completed nearly 30 to 40 million transfer reinforcements in the winter window.
Not to mention the tactical help Li Ang provided to Milan on the offensive end in the second half of the league.
He doesn't have many goals and assists, but all of them are crucial, and he also has those who cover his teammates to score and join in the aerial challenge.
Even Milan fans who are least sensitive to tactical adjustments and team strength improvements.
Now it can be clearly listed one by one, Li Ang's importance to Milan, whose midfield is seriously aging.
And what price did Milan pay for Li Ang?
Bear half of Li Ang’s salary during the loan period.
The pre-tax expenditure is just over 200,000 euros.
Even if a generous championship bonus is added, Milan will not spend more than 500,000 on Li Ang!
Yes, this is the only expenditure. In addition, Real Madrid did not even let Milan pay a cent for the rental fee.
Taking this into account, this deal cannot be described as a good deal, it is simply extremely cost-effective!
That's why Milan fans, who have gradually lived a "poor life" in recent years, are so reluctant to see Li Ang leave Milan.
Such an outstanding and stable young midfielder is plug-and-play, his salary is low, and his talent for growth is visibly high. If he were to let go, he would really have nothing to do with Milan from now on!
On the afternoon of April 17, Milan fans holding signs saying "Don't let Leon go!" went to sit-in and protest outside the club's gate.
Li Ang only learned of the development after he drove back to his residence after training in the afternoon.
But he couldn't give any explanation to the Milan fans.
His departure was a foregone conclusion. Faced with inquiries from his Milan teammates, Li Ang could honestly say that he had a contract with Real Madrid and that he could not make a decision about his stay in Milan.
But facing the Rosenellis in Milan, he really couldn't say such public relations words.
In the thirty-fourth round of the league, the serious-faced Allegri led a starting lineup composed of a rotation of the first team and young players of the second team to challenge Brescia as an away game.
Allegri's expression was not very good throughout the game, and in the end Milan lost 1-2 at Brescia's home court, breaking their unbeatable record in the second half of the league.
The next day, a reporter directly broke the news that Allegri had a meeting with senior Milan officials, but the result of the meeting was not ideal.
It is said that Allegri and Galliani even had a big fight in the conference room.
The authenticity of the news cannot be verified, but it is obvious that for the rest of the Italian fans who are not too concerned about watching the excitement, they do not care about the authenticity of the news, as long as they have fun watching it.
However, more follow-up news ultimately did not come out from within Milan.
Perhaps only a few players in the Milan team know that Allegri is indeed on fire this time, and the quarrel with Galliani is also real.
But in the final analysis, the two had a quarrel because of the development of Milan in the next few seasons, but they also called and reconciled again after calming down.
Afterwards, Leon and Allegri also had a sincere conversation in the office.
Facing Uncle Jon, Li Ang felt grateful in his heart.
After all, you trust yourself and will use your own coach if you are given the opportunity.
So when Uncle Jon asked, "If I need you to stay, will you be willing to stay in Milan?"
Li Ang pondered for a moment, and finally did not say anything nice to deceive Uncle Jon, but gave an honest answer.
"I would very much like to continue working for you, but sir, will you always stay in Milan? If you are no longer in Milan in a few years, then where will I go?"
Leon's answers and rhetorical questions made Allegri speechless. After a while, Allegri could only smile and shake his head in relief.
"I can't give you a clear answer, but I roughly understand what you mean. Milan is indeed not the most suitable place for your future development and growth, or in other words, the entire Serie A is not."
"I'm sorry, sir."
"No, no, you don't need to apologize to me. Your arrival helped this club regain the league championship again. Even if you are about to leave, I hope that Milan fans, Milan, and me will have a lasting relationship with you.
They give each other beautiful and relaxing memories.”
After saying this, Allegri reached out and patted Leon gently on the shoulder.
"Come on, the season is not over yet. We still have one last event to complete. Use this championship to say goodbye to us. This will also be the best farewell gift you can leave to the Milan fans."
After finishing the conversation with Allegri, Li Ang devoted himself to additional training with a more positive attitude.
He felt that Uncle Jon was right. In the last competition of the season where he could still compete for the championship, he would use his best performance to help Milan reach the top.
Then use this championship trophy to say a final farewell to Milan fans.
On May 1st, in the 35th round of Serie A between Milan and Bologna, Liang started again at San Siro.
The Milan fans at the scene also issued the most ardent and exciting slogans, asking Li Ang not to leave Milan after the end of the season.
Looking at this scene, many reporters instantly recalled the situation when Milan fans tried to retain Kaká.
At that time, Kaka was also very reluctant to give up the fans of Milan City, but for the sake of the club's finances, he finally boarded the plane to Madrid.
And now Liang, who got the nickname "New Kaka" from the Italian media when he first joined Milan.
At the call of his home team Real Madrid, he will return to Madrid at the end of the season.
This situation happened twice in Milan in less than two years, which is indeed a bit cruel to Milan fans.
Li Ang pursed his lips and glanced at the Milan fans who were calling him fervently with complex eyes, and finally resisted the urge to wave.
The game that afternoon was not intense. Bologna was in a relatively safe position in the relegation zone, and Milan was more focused on tactical drills for the upcoming Italian Cup.
Therefore, neither team invested too much manpower on the offensive end, and the final score remained at 0-0.
The two teams shook hands and made peace, but there was a huge uproar in public opinion after the game.
All Italian media rushed to report the news at the San Siro about Milan fans trying to retain Liang.
On the evening of May 10, before the start of the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final between Milan and Palermo, the same scene reappeared at Palermo's home stadium, Barbera Stadium.
When the Milan fans who traveled with the team to cheer for the team, they did not forget to put up a huge banner calling on Li Ang to stay in Milan.
Li Ang, who started the game and played for 90 minutes, still left with a complicated expression after saying farewell to the fans along with his teammates.
And the Milan fans who witnessed Milan's final 2-0 in the second leg and 3-0 victory over Palermo in both rounds to advance to the Coppa Italia final lost a little bit of excitement and excitement.
For so many days, Li Ang has clearly stated his attitude without announcing his decision through any media.
He will eventually return to Real Madrid and return to La Liga under Mourinho's call to further grow on a higher platform.
But Milan fans really can't feel any dissatisfaction with Li Ang.
In the final analysis, Li Ang's time in Milan was too short, and his performance during this short loan period was too dazzling.
The dazzling Milan fans only remember the surprises and happiness he brought them time and time again.
Therefore, after the final regret and pity, Milan fans could only force themselves to let go as soon as possible.
Before the Italian Cup final begins, the Serie A league ends first.
Milan also held a grand championship celebration at home at San Siro after the 37th round of Serie A.
On that day, there were thunderous cheers in Milan, and no Milan fans discussed the issue of Li Ang's stay next season.
It seemed that in the joy and excitement of the championship celebration, all the bad emotions were temporarily suppressed.
Li Ang finally calmed down his mood.
This ending is the best for him.
The fans' no longer entangled and relieved is what he wants to see most.
After the celebration, all Milan players devoted full energy to preparing for the last important game of the season.
On the evening of May 30, AC Milan and Inter Milan started the final competition for the Italian Cup at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
This is also the third time this season that the two teams, also from Milan, have met.
The first two direct conversations, Milan defeated Inter, and Milan's victory also made Inter's dream of the Champions Champion directly shattered.
