Watching Inzaghi, who scored the third goal, rushing to the corner and watching Master Jiu waving his hands in wild celebration, countless Milan fans were in a daze.
Rivieri could no longer speak in the live broadcast room. He kept shouting "pippo, pippo" in a choked voice.
Di Livio whispered: "The heroes of Milan will seal their swords from now on and say goodbye to Milan..."
At this time, countless Milan fans on site and in front of the TV seemed to suddenly go back to a few years ago.
At that time, he was just a young man who returned to Milan from Juventus. No one had high expectations for him. They just thought he was a good player and did not expect him to become the core figure of the team.
Later, countless stars came and went, Baggio, Shevchenko, Kaká... these superstars have won the love of Milan fans, but in the end, the only killer who stayed at San Siro was Inzaghi.
It was also from that time that Milan had its own Jiu Ye.
He has been criticized countless times for not being able to dribble, not being able to pass, not being fast, not being able to be a pillar, having poor physical strength...
You can criticize Jiu Ye a lot, but in this world, Jiu Ye is one of the best shooters and the last to score.
But for Milan fans, there is no such thing.
As long as he is on the court, he has a 1-0 attribute. No matter what method he uses, he will eventually send the ball into the net. He is a natural position master who grows on the offside line. He is a natural forward.
Watching Inzaghi's crazy celebration, Milan fans remembered the celebration after Inzaghi scored twice in the 2007 Champions League final to help the team lead the score. At that time, Jiu Ye was so high-spirited.
Five years ago, Gattuso and Nesta all gathered around Master Jiu to celebrate the Champions League championship.
Five years later, Gattuso and Nesta all gathered around Master Jiu to celebrate and lamented their farewell today.
Although there was still one minute left in injury time, the referee did not continue. He just silently looked at the Milan players celebrating the draw, and even applauded involuntarily.
The whistle sounded and the game was finally over.
The glorious red-black career of a generation of Milan stars has come to an end.
No one expected that when the midfield whistle sounded, Gattuso was the first to cry.
This tough guy who made countless enemies fearful on the court burst into tears and kept applauding the fans on the sidelines to express his gratitude.
Pirlo stepped forward and hugged his old friend tightly, looking at each other in silence.
Inzaghi, who scored a hat-trick of goals, and Seedorf, who scored a hat-trick of assists, had a perfect game. The two held their shoulders and looked at every corner of the court.
On the back line, Nesta and Gianluca Zambrotta sat on the turf, kissing the San Siro lawn deeply, and shed tears on the pitch.
From now on, Milan's No. 8 is no longer Gattuso, No. 9 is no longer Inzaghi, No. 10 is no longer Seedorf, No. 13 is no longer Nesta...
The numbers on these jerseys suddenly became vivid and meaningful. Those warm numbers represented an era and the youth of a generation.
Goodbye youth.
Goodbye idol.
All the fans stood up and applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time. Countless Milan fans burst into tears. This night is a night they will never forget.
At this time, no matter the heroes wearing Milan jerseys or the guests wearing Juventus jerseys, everyone hugged and paid tribute in the center of the San Siro Stadium.
Many Italian players are not only club opponents, but also friends of the national team. The relationship between Juventus and Milan has always been excellent.
Buffon hugged Nesta and refused to let go.
Van Bommel chatted with Van Persie and handed him the future of the Dutch team.
Ronaldinho, who was a Milan player last season, also hugged his former teammates one by one at this time, recalling the unforgettable red and black years.
Raul chatted with Robinho and Cassano. His former teammates who were abandoned by Real Madrid found a new life in Serie A.
Seedorf put his arms around Zheng Zhi. He did not exchange jerseys with anyone, but gave his No. 10 jersey to Zheng Zhi. Although there is not much explanation, the meaning is self-evident.
A generation will eventually grow old, but there will always be people who are young.
Outside the farewell crowd in Milan, two other players were also waving goodbye to the fans in the stands.
Unlike the farewells of the heroes, their farewells seemed so insignificant.
Aquilani joined Milan on a one-year loan and is about to return to Liverpool. However, he has already lost his place in Liverpool, and he doesn’t know where he will stop next.
But he was extremely regretful that he could not stay in Milan.
Even though his performance throughout the season was commendable, he was still not bought out by Milan, and his 24.5 appearances eclipsed him.
Another person who is about to leave the team is goalkeeper Roma.
Behind Abbiati and Amelia, Roma had little chance to play. He did not choose to renew his contract and was preparing to leave the team when his contract expired at the end of the season.
His agent has already negotiated with Monaco coach Makelele. Due to Hildebrand's departure from the team, young Zeng Cheng is not yet capable of playing the main role. Makelele needs an experienced player who has played in the top league. The goalkeeper, the two sides hit it off immediately, and the old goalkeeper Roma is about to start his Monaco career.
In the curtain call team, Inzaghi slowly withdrew. He felt a little thirsty and wanted to find a water bottle to drink.
But unexpectedly, he met Del Piero face to face on the sidelines.
Since Inzaghi left Juventus, the two have never spoken. Even when the two teams faced each other, they deliberately bypassed each other. Even the handshake ceremony before the game was just a polite fist bump. , nothing more.
Even in the national team, despite the efforts of countless teammates, the conflict between the two has never been resolved.
But at this moment, Inzaghi was stunned on the spot, looking at Piero in front of him, but did not move away.
And Piero went to Inzaghi for the first time. Ten years later, the two sides had their first dialogue.
"Philippe, you scored a hat trick today. You are the best striker in Italy in the past ten years."
"Del, I never dreamed that one day you would say this to me. We all thought we were the best strikers, didn't we?" Inzaghi looked at Del Piero, "You say that now. , because I’m leaving, so you want to comfort me?”
Del Piero shook his head: "I have imagined countless times that if you could have stayed at Juventus, how far could the two of us help Juventus? I have speed and can pass the ball, you have explosive power and can shoot. We That’s the most suitable strike partner.”
Inzaghi breathed out gently, and it seemed that ten years of repression had been exhaled in this breath. Many of the resentments he had had were completely gone at this moment. He took Del Piero's jersey and handed his own over.
"Del, although I am very happy that you praised me, the best striker in Italy should be a super shooter who can break the goal record. Congratulations on breaking the goal record that has been dusted for many years. You are the best striker of this era. .”
On the sidelines of the San Siro stadium, a pair of old partners who had settled their differences held hands tightly together.
Just like ten years ago.
