Wansheng is very popular in England, Europe and even the world.

In the European football circle, Wan Sheng is one of the most popular head coaches. His popularity in Europe is almost equivalent to those of star players. This is very amazing for a football coach, because most fans only care about the players and rarely care about the head coach.

Wansheng's Twitter account has nearly 2 million followers. Every time he posts a radio or comment, countless netizens will watch it.

After the Twitter comments were posted, its content was spreading almost at the speed of light.

With countless retweets, countless comments, countless media retweets and comments, in just one hour, the content of Twitter spread throughout the UK, covering the whole of Europe and even the world.

This tweet caught the attention of all over Europe.

"I doubt the IQ of these people: how can they lose to Liverpool if they can beat Manchester City's team?" This tone is completely a satirizing the media. Of course, it doesn't matter whether the satirizing the media is. Those media reporters who come to interview have long been no longer concerned. Anyway, there are many media who want to interview Wan Sheng, and they are just one of them, so it doesn't matter at all. The key is that Wan Sheng's comments directly determine the outcome of the game - obviously he believes that AC Milan will win.

However, the reason for this conclusion is very difficult to accept.

What does it mean to 'How can a team that can defeat Manchester City lose to Liverpool'? When can the winner be determined by the victory or defeat relationship?

In the past two seasons, Liverpool has not beaten Manchester City in the league, but this does not mean that Liverpool is completely worse than Manchester City, or if they win Manchester City's team, they will definitely win Liverpool. There is no decisive relationship between this. What's more, the game between Liverpool and AC Milan is the decision of the UEFA Champions League. Liverpool has always been a team good at European games. No one can do this, otherwise, Manchester City is not as good as Manchester City. Manchester City was eliminated in the European game, while Liverpool is close to the final, which can explain a lot of things, so the winning and losing relationship mentioned in the comments is completely unreal.

If this sentence is said by others, it will definitely be ignored and there will be only some ridicule. Someone will also sarcastically say, "This guy doesn't understand football at all!"

But the comment was Wan Sheng, Manchester City's head coach, a successful coach who led Manchester City to win the league championship for two consecutive seasons and was able to reach the top eight in the first Champions League. Wan Sheng must have a considerable understanding of football, and this ridicule is also untrue.

So, everyone knows that Wansheng said this on purpose!

The reason for the "win-loss and loss-cause relationship" mentioned by Wan Sheng is not important at all. What is important is his conclusion - AC Milan won!

In fact, before the battle between Liverpool and AC Milan, many people were waiting for the 'conclusion of Wansheng', "We look forward to which team Wansheng can be optimistic about." This sentence appears in various newspapers, magazines, and sports programs. As long as it is related to the Champions League final, most media will mention Wansheng, because Wansheng is quite famous in terms of 'guessing the results of major matches'.

Many people are waiting for this conclusion.

Various media hope that Wansheng can make a judgment so that they can make special reports; fans on both sides expect Wansheng to support their team, just like in the World Cup final last year, Wansheng supported Italy, but the Italian team defeated France to win the World Cup championship; many of Wansheng's absolute supporters also hope that Wansheng can express their opinions before the Champions League final. Which team Wansheng supports is equivalent to giving them a direction of support; what is most anticipated in this regard is the 'the gamblers', who look forward to the result of Wansheng and then put a big pen to suppress it.

In fact, the conclusion of Wansheng disappointed the 'gamblers' because there were more people who thought AC Milan could win, and this can be seen in the odds set by the bookmaker for the two teams. Within 90 minutes, AC Milan won the odds with only 1.49, and almost nothing left after deducting taxes. Liverpool won the win at 4.18. The difference between the two ratios can show a lot.

Fortunately, Wansheng did not say whether AC Milan would win, whether it would win in 90 minutes or the final victory, so they could also put their bets to draw within 90 minutes.

Of course, bookmakers don’t care what the 'gamblers' think. When Wansheng’s Twitter comments were published, their influence soon emerged. British bookmakers and European bookmakers lowered the odds of AC Milan winning almost at the same time. Coupled with the increase in betting influence of "AC Milan winning", AC Milan winning odds were only 1.37 left. This odds were almost no profit after deducting taxes.

This is just a bookmaker.

Let’s take a look at AC Milan and Liverpool.

Some people from both teams have long been waiting for the news that Wan Sheng will make a judgment on the game. Now that AC Milan is immediately happy after knowing the news, their fans can't wait to celebrate the championship; on the contrary, Liverpool fans are very unhappy.

After the "Istanbul Miracle" two years ago, Wan Sheng was considered the "friendliest person" by Liverpool fans because at the critical moment of Liverpool's battle in Istanbul, only Wan Sheng was the one who had a supportive attitude towards Liverpool and believed that Liverpool still had a chance.

And now, Wan Sheng has become the "most unpopular person" for Liverpool fans.

"I don't understand why he said that. I remember two years ago, he also said, "The spirit of the Reds can create miracles. Gerald, he is a player who will never give up." So we created miracles and defeated AC Milan with the biggest reversal in the Champions League history!"

"But now he said 'The team that can defeat AC Milan will definitely defeat Liverpool'? I don't know why the football game will become determined by the winning and losing relationship! I just want to say, I hate him!"

"Did he think he is God? He said which team wins, which team can win?"

"I believe Liverpool will prove with victory that he is not always right!"

"He supports AC Milan? Many people support AC Milan, but I believe Liverpool will win!"

“…”

Liverpool fans expressed their opinions.

At the same time, many English media also refuted Wan Sheng’s statement.

Liverpool is England's team, and the English media naturally hope that their team can win the Champions League, so they refute the statement of Wan Sheng from all angles.

Some are just like what the fans said, and do not think that Wansheng will be correct every time; some are directly using the last Wansheng statement, "He said last time that the spirit of the Reds was in the spirit of the Reds. He thought that this spirit could create miracles. At that time, Liverpool was already behind three goals. The game has not yet begun, Liverpool still has the spirit of the Reds, Gerrard is still in the team, and will start. Is it meaningless now two years later?"

"He is refuting his own remarks!"

"He probably couldn't guess which team would win. Most people think AC Milan has a greater chance, so he chose AC Milan."

“…”

Various refutations filled the entire UK's reports on the Champions League final. Among these remarks, Liverpool, who was preparing for the final match in Athens, may have the most say.

A few hours after Wansheng commented, Liverpool coach Benitez had been asked about related questions. He realized that this would have a certain impact on Liverpool's morale and definitely needs special attention. So he immediately said, "I think the game was decided by both sides, not by him."

"The victory or defeat of the game is directly related to the teams of both sides. What others say will not have any impact on the game. Our players are full of fighting spirit and we all hope to win the second Champions League trophy."

"I believe Liverpool will win in the end!"

"We have a psychological advantage. We beat them the last time and this game was good for us. I think everyone on the team has the same idea as me."

No one knows whether the entire Liverpool team thinks so, but it is certain that Liverpool club has expressed support for Benitez.

Liverpool Club’s support method is very alternative.

On the night before the game, Liverpool's official website had already broadcast the good news of the team's victory in advance - "The Reds won in Athens!"

This "obedient" news disappeared on Liverpool's official website for only 5 minutes.

This news article that made the headlines of Liverpool's official website is clearly structured and does not seem to be a prank. At the top of this news, the bold text specifically states, "Liverpool, the winner of the 2007 European Champions League", telling people very clearly that Liverpool is not a participant in the 2007 Champions League, but has won the championship in this event, and is the Champions League champion of the 2006/07 season.

In the main text, the news reads: "In ancient Greece... we have won for the 6th time! The heroes of Rafa (Benitez) are celebrating another European honor, our second defeat of AC Milan in our third season."

It is indeed surprising that Liverpool's official website announced the championship before the game was even played.

According to the analysis of the British media, this should be a draft draft prepared by Liverpool Club in advance and is about to be posted on the official website as soon as the team won the championship, but it has come out too early now.

"This is a mistake and an inattention. If AC Milan's Martini lifted the Champions League trophy on Wednesday night, then this mistake and negligence will become unforgivable." Italian Tgcom commented on the news.

Is it a mistake or a prophecy? There is only time to answer it.

Some media also combined Liverpool's official 'mistake' with Wan Sheng's remarks. They said, "Wan Sheng made a prediction, Liverpool also made a prediction. Now we are going to the game to see whose prediction is more accurate."

The next morning, the goals of Europe and even the world were already preparing to focus on the Champions League final in Athens. On the same day, Wan Sheng and Anita were preparing to board the plane to Lisbon and go on vacation to Portugal's Harbour Holy Land.

On the airport aisle, Wansheng was followed by some media reporters.

Wan Sheng actually wanted to leave directly and didn't want to make any comments about the Champions League final, which was completely meaningless to him, but when he heard a reporter ask with a bad face, "Do you just say nothing?"

Wan Sheng was immediately a little angry, and he said to the reporter, "You can't guess it!? Now you are going to interview me! That's what I think! AC Milan can win, this is my opinion!"

"Why?"

"Why! It's very simple, tell you the truth, because Liverpool has been competing with Manchester City for Torres, they are our competitors in the transfer market, why do I support my competitors? So I support AC Milan, that's why!"

Media reporters were stunned when they heard this reason.

No matter what they thought, Wan Sheng and Anita stepped into the waiting room of the airport. As long as they entered the airport, there would be no harassement from reporters.

———

The "competitive theory" mentioned by Wan Sheng is really a bit of a bloody spit, but it is always a reason, and he also emphasized the reason why he supports AC Milan.

Note that it is support, not guessing the result.

The media that interviewed Wan Sheng all specifically described the "support". What they wanted to express was that the Chinese didn't know who won and who lost. He just "supported" AC Milan, but they did not have much effect in doing these reports. For ordinary fans, it would be enough to know Wan Sheng "guess" AC Milan to win, no matter whether he "supports" or "guess the result".

Among the various media comments, the Athens game is about to begin.

Wan Sheng and Anita got off the plane from Lisbon, then took a taxi to the resort in the harbour, checked into the hotel they had booked, and then turned on the TV as soon as possible to watch the live Champions League final.

The game has just begun.

Ancelotti and Benitez both lined up a single forward formation.

In AC Milan, veteran Inzagi beat Girardino and midfielder added Ambrosini. Captain Maldini participated in the Champions League final for the 8th time, tying the record of former Real Madrid superstar Hento. Maldini, 38 years old and 331 days, became the oldest non-goalkeeper in the history of the Champions League final. This is also the third time that Maldini participated in the Champions League final as a captain, and broke the record of 36-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper Ramalez in 1961, and became the oldest captain in the history of the Champions League.

In Liverpool, Espanyol Alonso won the starter and formed a double midfielder with Mascherano. Centen and Pennant flew together with the ankle injury, and Cowell, who started two years ago, could only sit on the bench.

AC Milan wore white jerseys like two years ago. They won the Champions League in 1963, 1989, 1990 and 2003. The referee in this game was 43-year-old German Van derer. Liverpool lost 2 losses and 1 draw without a goal under his law enforcement, while AC Milan won all five games under his command.

Vander's law enforcement is also considered to be one of the reasons why AC Milan can win.

After the opening, like all competition finals, both teams focus on stability.

Unlike many people's thinking, Liverpool is more active, while AC Milan plays more steadily. However, Liverpool's strength is limited. It is hard to say that their tactics and cooperation can make fans like it. Therefore, the two teams' first half game was a bit sleepy. In the end, AC Milan, who was seeking stability, scored first. In the 44th minute, Kaka turned around and broke through and was knocked down by Alonso. Pirlo took the free kick with his right foot 21 meters in front of the goal, and scored a half-high ball through the side of the wall. Inzagi blocked the left upper arm 9 meters in front of the goal, and the ball was refracted into the net, making Renner, who was rushing to the left, empty.

This is Inzaghi's 37th Champions League goal and 57th European goal.

In the second half, the two teams played again, and Liverpool's performance became more and more active. They were better than Liverpool in shooting, passing, ball possession rate and other data. However, the second goal in the end was AC Milan, and Inzagi still scored the goal.

In the 82nd minute, Kaka took the ball from the right rib and passed the gap between the three defenders. Inzagi finally succeeded in counter-offside this time. He waded through goalkeeper Renner who had hit the ground to save, and pushed the ball into the empty goal at a small angle 6 meters from the right side of the penalty area to score.

2 to 0!!

Perhaps the spirit of the Reds is still valuable. When the game is about to end, Cowell took a corner kick from the left, Agh headed the ball forward and rubbed Maldini's head to the back point. Kuyt headed the ball into the far corner 4 meters in front of the goal, and Liverpool finally got a goal back.

But, it's too late!

In the end, AC Milan defeated Liverpool 2-1 and won the Champions League trophy. At the same time, they also completed the revenge of losing to the final two years ago!

After watching AC Milan and Liverpool, many people congratulated AC Milan on winning the championship, but couldn't help but think of a thousand wins.

In an interview before the game, the young man twice explained that he supported AC Milan with "absurd" reasons, thinking that AC Milan could win, but once again proved that this young man could always laugh and say the best.

He was right again!

No matter how absurd or ‘individualistic’ the reasons he explained are, many times, it has to be admitted that the result is the most important.
