With a two-goal lead, the Juventus players walked off the court happily.
But when everyone was very excited, a piece of bad news left everyone in a daze.
Trezeguet sprained his ankle when his header just hit the ground. Although the team doctor checked and found that the problem was not serious, Yunsheng still replaced Trezeguet for the next two finals.
In this way, Trezeguet's goal number will be fixed at 36 goals.
But teammates are not worried about Trezeguet's Serie A golden boot.
Buffon patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I will never let Ibrahimovic score three goals in the second half! No one in the world can penetrate my goal three times in 45 minutes! The Golden Boot can't run away!"
Trezeguet nodded gratefully and looked at Van Persie: "Robin, I'm off the field. Sir, I asked you to come on as a substitute. I have a wish that I hope you can help me realize."
Van Persie's eyes were firm: "No problem, just say it."
"I hope you can help him," Trezeguet pointed to Del Piero next to him, "help him score at least one more goal, so that he can break the record."
Hearing Trezeguet's words, Del Piero's heart warmed: "Man, you don't have to worry about me. You can recover well. There are still two finals waiting for us to play. I need you, all of us need you."
Several forwards were chatting, and Pirlo suddenly made a request to Yun Sheng.
"Sir, can I apply to be dismissed?"
Yun Sheng was stunned: "Why, are you injured too?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone became nervous.
You must know that Pirlo is of extraordinary importance in the current Juventus team. He, Buffon, Del Piero and other stars are all indispensable and absolute main players.
Looking at everyone's nervous eyes, Pirlo smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, everyone, I'm not seriously ill. I'm just a little tired recently. I ran a long distance in the first half and I feel a little muscle soreness. If you can, , I hope to be able to take a break and avoid unexpected situations."
After hearing this, Speed nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Players with this kind of muscle fatigue are very easy to get injured in the game, so I suggest that Pirlo rest in the second half."
Cannavaro also agreed: "Yes, we are already 3-1 ahead. Besides, winning or losing this game has little impact. Compared with this game, I hope to have a healthy Pirlo to play in the Champions League final."
Everyone said this, and Yun Sheng naturally agreed: "Okay, then you should take a good rest in the second half. You have been working hard recently. Marchisio, you can come on as a substitute."
During the halftime break, Yun Sheng hardly talked about tactics, and the time passed quickly.
Everyone ran out of the locker room. Pirlo had already been substituted. He was the last to go.
"Andrea." Yun Sheng stopped him, "I want to ask you something."
Pirlo stopped: "Sir, what can you do?"
Yun Sheng looked at Pirlo with a smile: "Andrea, are you really injured and want to end the game, or are you planning to fulfill Guti's wish?"
Pirlo was stunned and smiled instantly.
Yun Sheng nodded: "I understand. Trezeguet just asked Van Persie to help Del Piero score another goal. You must have felt it, so you decided to end the game in this irrelevant game, right?"
Pirlo looked at Yun Sheng. He did not answer Yun Sheng's words, but talked about other topics: "Sir, if one day I retire, can I reserve a position as an assistant coach for you in advance?"
"Haha! Of course it's no problem! I can't even invite a master-level star like you with such a good character and personality." Yun Sheng smiled and patted Pirlo on the shoulder, "Maybe one day you He will be like me and become a moderately successful head coach, and even take over as coach of the Bianconeri."
"Who can say for sure about the future. Sir, let's get out quickly, the game is about to start."
"Okay, let's go together."
At the beginning of the second half, fans found that both teams had made substitutions.
Juventus replaced the goal hero Trezeguet and midfielder Pirlo. Robin van Persie and Marchisio came off the bench. The team still maintained its top level.
On AC Milan's side, Allegri's substitution is a bit puzzling. He replaced Van Bommel and Aquilani?
Because this game is Van Bommel's farewell game, there is no problem in letting the Dutch veteran come on as a substitute in the second half. But the question is why did Allegri replace Aquilani?
You must know that throughout the first half, the best performer in Milan was Aquilani. He was excellent in both offense and defense in the midfield. Even Ibrahimovic, who scored the goal, was not as outstanding as him.
Wouldn't it be better to replace veteran Gattuso or Seedorf at this time?
Maybe Allegri just wants to keep a few veterans on the field until the end of the game?
This is also possible...
Everyone was speculating on the reason for this substitution, but Allegri looked very unhappy on the sidelines.
At this moment, there were ten thousand grass-mud horses galloping past him.
Why the substitution? Because the boss asked for it, he must be replaced!
A week later, the truth of the matter was finally revealed by Liverpool Football Club.
Aquilani was loaned to AC Milan by Liverpool this season. There is a buyout clause in the loan contract. As long as the player plays 25 games, the mandatory buyout clause will be automatically triggered, and AC Milan must pay the agreed transfer fee.
But there is a note in this clause, that is, if you are substituted at halftime, it will only count as 0.5 games.
AC Milan's senior management wants to use Aquilani, but they don't want to buy out, and if they want to play for free, they must maximize the use of players without triggering a mandatory buyout.
Before this game, Aquilani had played 24 times. If this game is played in full, it will reach 25 games.
Before this game, Vice Chairman Galliani specifically told Allegri that Aquilani must be replaced during the half-time break. This is a dead order!
So Allegri had no choice but to obey.
Because of this magical operation, Aquilani had no choice but to return to Liverpool at the end of the season.
What's even more funny is that a few days later, AC Milan once again proposed to Liverpool that they wanted to continue loaning Aquilani for another season.
Liverpool: What's going on? Do you really think we are fools?
In the end, Aquilani never met AC Milan again.
In the years since then, AC Milan's "24.5" has become a joke in the international football world, and this veteran European giant has also become the "second joke king" in the mouths of countless fans.
But no one knows about this yet, because no matter how good Aquilani performed in this game, he was not the protagonist.
After Van Bommel came on as a substitute, the fans once again gave him warm applause.
Fifteen minutes later, Allegri used the last two substitutions.
Nesta and Inzaghi come on as substitutes!
At this point, Milan's meritorious veterans who will leave the team this summer have all appeared on the stage and began their final performance in the Rossoneri!
