Chapter 1910: Chapter 504: Ingenious Strategies Are Born Only in Desperate Situations

Palermo seemed a bit unwilling, but their voices were ignored by everyone.

Serie A’s European competition points now all hinge on Milan. Compared to whether they can win the Coppa Italia, the number of UEFA Champions League spots Serie A will have next season is more crucial.

May 6th.

UEFA finally announced the disciplinary results for several players.

UEFA’s official website stated: "Given the performance of several players in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, we have made the following disciplinary decisions: Barcelona’s player Busquets is suspended for one match, with an additional three-match suspension. AC Milan’s player Ibrahimovic is suspended for one match, with an additional one-match suspension; AC Milan’s player Ramos is banned for three months."

As soon as the disciplinary decisions were announced.

The entire European football world was in an uproar.

A three-month ban seems severe.

But with the summer transfer period about to begin, in reality, Ramos will end his ban before the other two players.

In response, UEFA spokesperson specially provided an explanation, saying: "We will not extend a player’s ban due to the upcoming off-season, because that’s unfair. If a player’s foul deserves a three-month suspension, they will not be suspended for four months or longer."

May 7th.

Away match against Rome.

Milan’s complete substitute lineup drew 1-1 with them.

But because Inter Milan, who played earlier, did not win.

With a 7-point lead, Milan clinched the championship ahead of time at the away venue.

As the main referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, the entire Milan team rushed onto the field.

Stadio Olimpico Rome graciously offered applause.

"Let’s go, coach, it’s time to receive the medals."

Huang Kaiwen reminded.

"Let’s go."

Guardiola walked with poise, his whole being radiant.

From the time he arrived in the Apennines, the media’s skepticism towards him hasn’t ceased.

This championship finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Milan players stepped onto the stage one by one to receive their medals, with Huang Kaiwen following behind Buffon. After Huang Kaiwen went up, the Italian Football Federation president Abbett grasped Huang Kaiwen’s hands tightly and said: "Thank you, thank you."

Huang Kaiwen smiled and patted his arm, leaving the podium.

In this regard, he doesn’t need to be modest.

After the Calciopoli scandal, Italian football was rotten to the core; it was his two stints at Milan that allowed Serie A to maintain its prominent position.

After the whole team received the medals, Huang Kaiwen took the championship trophy and walked to the front, placing it into Ambrosini’s arms.

"Kevin?"

Ambrosini said, somewhat touched.

"Go ahead, old chap, you don’t have many chances left."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

Ambrosini, chuckling through tears, moved aside, standing at the front of the team.

"3, 2, 1..."

Amid the countdown throughout the venue.

Ambrosini raised the trophy high.

Though like last year, we won the Serie A championship.

This year, Ambrosini has more to look forward to.

The Treble?

No, he wants even more!

Earlier, he talked about leaving only because he feared losing his place.

But such moments of glory make it impossible for him to part.

Ambrosini feels incredibly fortunate to have joined Milan, to have such teammates, to have won so many championships, and to continue envisioning victory!

"Milan, Milan, only wish to support you, Milan, Milan, forever for you..."

Ambrosini handed the trophy to his teammates, hopped over the barrier, and clapped hands with every fan in the lower stands.

He doesn’t know how long he can continue playing for Milan.

But he’s willing to give his all for moments like this.

What Huang Kaiwen said before was right.

The things Giggs achieved, he can achieve too!

He wants to witness, alongside those old chaps, Milan surpassing Real Madrid and becoming the team with the most UEFA Champions League titles.

"Hehehe, congratulations to AC Milan, congratulations to Huang Kaiwen for once again winning the Serie A championship."

"AC Milan’s path to the championship this season was quite smooth, but it’s not time to rest yet; there are two finals awaiting them to compete in."

"Indeed, Palermo, the opponent for the Coppa Italia, isn’t strong, but this season, under Mourinho, Real Madrid has aggressively revived. He, as Huang Kaiwen’s former coach, is very familiar with Huang Kaiwen’s technical characteristics, and it’s uncertain what tactics he’ll employ against Huang Kaiwen in the UEFA Champions League final."

"Huang Kaiwen’s playing style is varied; he might not be able to defend against it. Take Huang Kaiwen’s free-kick goal at Camp Nou, for instance; even if Casillas were there, I doubt he’d stop it."

"No, no, certainly not. Even Yassin wouldn’t be able to, that shot was just too tricky, hehe. I once watched an animated film from Japan that was quite popular in our country; I used to think the animation was exaggerated. Later, I found out that the author indeed doesn’t understand football. But now, looking at Huang Kaiwen, he really can score goals like those in the animation."

As the principal of Milan Kindergarten, Huang Kaiwen took the teammates’ children to thank the crowd.

Valentina stuck to Huang Kaiwen, making a face at her sister.

The other arm Huang Kaiwen held Gabriella, who looked somewhat angrily at the younger Valentina.

"Congratulations, coach, for winning your first championship in Italy!"

Gattuso said with a smile.

Guardiola nodded.

Guardiola felt he was still too conservative.

In the UEFA Champions League final, he must progress further, showing the fans his true strength.

To counter Jose, a typical lineup won’t do.

For instance, making it unpredictable for Jose is crucial.

Guardiola is already contemplating how to arrange the starting lineup for the UEFA Champions League final.

Seeing this, Gattuso didn’t disturb Guardiola.

As soon as he left the sidelines, Inzaghi came over with champagne.

"You bastard, watch out!"

Gattuso dodged nimbly, cursing in anger.

Inzaghi not only ignored Gattuso’s words but chased after him, spraying him.

Guardiola felt something wet on his face.

Only then did he realize it was Inzaghi.

Seeing Inzaghi spraying, Guardiola instinctively tried to avoid it.

His foot unknowingly stepped on a water bottle someone left by the sideline, causing him to lose balance and fall backward hard.

The scene brought the noise at Stadio Olimpico to a sudden halt.

It’s not good news for a coach to get injured before a major match.

Clemente’s eyes lit up as he dashed over, crouching down, shaking Guardiola’s arm vigorously, asking: "Pep, Pep, are you alright, are you okay?"

"If you keep shaking like this, I might be in trouble."

Guardiola responded with a huff.

Clemente looked a bit embarrassed and also somewhat disappointed.

It seems his hopes of coaching the UEFA Champions League final were dashed.

At that moment, Clemente suddenly had a bright idea.

Inzaghi almost injured Guardiola, so he thought he might have a chance too!
