The city of Milan in July is very lively. It is already mid-July. Although the leagues in various countries have not yet started, many teams have gathered in advance to prepare for a series of activities such as pre-match warm-up matches.
At the Meazza Stadium, a very important match is about to begin today, between Inter Milan and Monaco.
This is not an ordinary friendly match, but a memorial match, or farewell match.
Although there were 22 players on the court today, there was only one protagonist - Alvaro Recoba.
As a famous player at Inter Milan, he has not had the opportunity to play a farewell game since leaving Inter Milan in 2008. Later, after leaving Monaco, he returned to Uruguay and joined Danubio Club.
Everyone thought he was just returning to China to retire, but they didn't expect that he turned out to be the absolute core of Danubio's offense. He played almost full duty in the league, scored more than 20 goals, and helped the team win the 2011 Uruguay League championship. Time is in full swing.
"Chinese boy" is still the world-class striker who can do everything!
And this summer, in order to commend Recoba for his contribution to the team, Inter Milan held a farewell match for Recoba. This can be regarded as a farewell performance for Recoba after three years. Let him enjoy the last blessings of Inter Milan fans in Meazza.
The opponent they chose was the team where Recoba won five crowns - Monaco.
Recoba played for Monaco in the first half of the game, and became an Inter Milan player in the second half. He scored a total of four goals in the first and second half, and his performance was still world-class.
When Zanetti put the captain's armband on Recoba's arm, Recoba did not refuse. He gently touched the captain's armband and couldn't put it down.
This is the first time he has worn the captain's armband of Inter Milan.
The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and all the fans stood up and applauded, giving their warmest applause to their meritorious forward!
Recoba stood in the middle of the field, and his voice spread through the microphone throughout the Meazza stadium and into the ears of everyone in front of the TV.
"My ten-year Nerazzurri career is the happiest time for me. Even though I won five crowns in Monaco, I still love Inter Milan the most. My biggest regret is that I was not able to help Inter Milan win the Champions League. However, It's great to see Inter recover and I'm so happy to see us win the Champions League."
"From now on, I am no longer an Inter Milan player, but I will always be an Inter Milan fan. No matter where I am, I will always love Inter Milan and I will always bless Inter Milan! Guys, you are The best teammates in the world! Dear fans, you are the best fans in the world!"
"Goodbye, my favorite Inter Milan! I love you forever!"
At this time, no one spoke and the stadium was quiet.
Even the Monaco fans in front of the TV don't have any jealousy. They know that Monaco is just Recoba's stop, and Inter Milan is Recoba's eternal home.
Recoba burst into tears on the spot, and countless fans were eclipsed.
A legend comes to an end, and their youth is over.
Goodbye, Nerazzurri legend!
Sitting in the VIP room, Yun Sheng was filled with emotion. He watched the players and coaches line up to applaud and hug Recoba affectionately.
In addition to Inter Milan players and staff, the visiting Monaco general also had full respect for Recoba.
As a veteran who helped Monaco win five crowns, Monaco fans will never forget him!
After hugging Makelele, Makelele pointed in the direction of the VIP room. Recoba was stunned for a moment, then with a smile on his face, he waved towards the VIP room and bowed deeply.
And Yun Sheng also stood up and returned the salute to Recoba.
Alvaro, it was an honor to be your head coach.
After watching Recoba's farewell match, Inter Milan held a grand farewell ceremony for Recoba that night. Recoba invited Yun Sheng to attend, and Yun Sheng was happy to attend.
Yunsheng didn't tell Recoba that he came to watch the game, but Makelele knew about it in advance, so he told Recoba after the game, and only then did Recoba and Yun Sheng's master and apprentice interact.
At the farewell party, Yunsheng just stayed with the Monaco team in a low-key manner and did not meet with the senior management of Inter Milan.
After all, Juventus and Inter Milan are mortal enemies, so it would be inappropriate for him to appear at a dinner hosted by the Inter Milan club like this.
Yun Sheng was very happy to see his old friends from Monaco. Although there were many newcomers in the team that he was unfamiliar with, no one dared to underestimate Yun Sheng with his reputation in this team.
Recoba made a special trip to Monaco's private room to visit Yunsheng. The two hugged each other affectionately and were extremely emotional.
"Boss, I'm so grateful to you for being able to win five crowns at the end of my career."
"Alvaro, I want to thank you. You are the hero of Monaco's five crowns."
"Now I am playing football in Uruguay with ease and enjoying football very much."
"Have you ever thought about what you will do after you retire?"
"I don't have any ideas at the moment. I hope to be able to play football for a few more years until I can no longer play anymore before retiring."
"Haha, not bad. After you retire, I will invite you to work at Yuntian Company. What do you think?"
"Are you coming to Europe?"
"We will also establish branches in the Americas in the next few years. If you like, it's no problem to stay in the Americas."
"Okay, then let's make an agreement. When the time comes, I will join you and call you boss."
"no problem!"
Yun Sheng turned to look at the Monaco players: "After you retire, if you want to come to Yuntian Company, I will definitely arrange suitable positions for you."
Several veterans of Monaco applauded and were very happy.
Makelele on the side had a grimace on his face: "Boss, I still want to keep them as my assistants. It's good, you poached them all..."
Yun Sheng patted Makelele on the shoulder: "If they all stay on the team, with his ability, he will definitely become a world-class head coach in the future. By then, I will have many more opponents out of thin air. I started early, and it will also give me a better future." Just clear the obstacles, hahahaha."
The Monaco general laughed happily.
Looking at the still cheerful Yun Sheng, looking at former Monaco teammates Makelele and Hildebrand, as well as the players who have left the team who came all the way to participate in this memorial match, Sun Jihai, Kompany, etc. Man, Recoba suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes.
Besides Inter Milan, Monaco is his second home.
He won everything in Monaco and gained so much glory and championships.
Looking at everyone, Recoba was deeply moved.
"Brothers, it is my great happiness to have been my teammates with you. Monaco will always be my second home! I love you all!"
