Chapter 706 - 179: Everyone Praises Candreva in the Cup, Undefeated Champion in the League
They are currently ranked fourth in the league, but only two points behind Inter Milan.
And the next league match, they will directly face Inter Milan, kicking off the city derby.
It can be said that this year AC Milan is under tremendous pressure.
If they can’t progress further in the Champions League, they will not only once again end up with nothing, but they will also have regressed significantly compared to last year.
Not making it into the Champions League zone would be a total collapse.
Losing Izalelt again... feels like the end is near.
AC Milan fans have collectively developed anxiety disorder.
Many fans have spoken out, believing the team should completely give up on the Italian Cup and definitely not repeat last year’s mistakes.
How did AC Milan lose last year?
Fired up in the first half, leading three to zero.
Substitution of Izalelt and Praxedes, the two offensive and defensive cores in the second half, followed by four consecutive goals from San Remo, witnessing the rise of the new king, Lu Yang!
In one battle, Lu Yang was transformed from an obscure "lower league goal scorer" into a player whom all European giants might not understand but are willing to pay to try to buy.
This year... really... just give up.
Lu Yang—AC Milan can’t handle this player.
He’s too friggin’ ominous!
But the ironic thing is... after AC Milan got overturned in the Champions League last year, Izalelt said during an interview that his biggest mistake wasn’t celebrating with champagne in the locker room at halftime after a three-zero lead.
His biggest mistake was not staying on the pitch with full effort during the match against San Remo, allowing San Remo to complete a shocking comeback from a three-goal deficit, leaving all AC Milan players with a seemingly trivial but deeply rooted psychological shadow.
When Liverpool players kept shouting "Lu Yang," "San Remo," on the pitch, AC Milan players crumbled mentally.
It’s that feeling of knowing you’re leading but could lose, your shots won’t go in, your interceptions succeed but the ball still falls at the opponent’s feet, opponents score every time they shoot, even a mispass turns into a brilliant assist—this can drive a player insane.
That’s momentum, it’s mysticism.
It’s supernatural forces that people who play football don’t believe in but sometimes have to.
So, Izalelt has said that if he gets the chance to face San Remo or Lu Yang again, no matter the situation, he will go all out.
Therefore, within AC Milan, there are two voices emerging.
When facing San Remo in the final, what exactly should they do?
"Let’s first get past Barcelona, and after that, we’ll decide how to play in the Italian Cup final." Praxedes resolved the dispute decisively.
The higher-ups want to give up the Italian Cup, but Izalelt insists on playing in the Italian Cup, no one wants to compromise.
Chicken rib, chicken rib, perfectly describing the current utility of the Italian Cup to AC Milan.
Who the heck invented domestic cup competitions?
Teams winning the treble of Champions League, league, and domestic cup are all monsters!
They must have eaten dog shit in their past lives, having unbelievably good luck!
Damn!
The news of San Remo breaking into the Italian Cup final pleased everyone, except AC Milan.
The Saint Remo People are undoubtedly satisfied, they are about to rewrite the miracle, this is truly Miracle 2.0!
Udinese fans are actually quite satisfied as well, with the team reaching the semi-finals already a great honor. In the last match, core player Candreva, despite defeat, was applauded by San Remo fans at Makabaka Stadium.
Later, Candreva also received numerous praises from the Italian media.
Many people are saying that such a Candreva must in the Italy National Team starting line-up.
The power of Kan Blade is finally recognized, no longer can people mock him for needing a substitute role to help the Italy Team.
Previously, many teams facing Udinese would say that the Italy Team without Candreva is the strongest Italy Team.
That’s too heartless.
The Italian Football Association was also happy, as the Italian Cup’s value had doubled following San Remo’s victory last year.
This year’s final, again San Remo versus AC Milan, the topic interest is simply unbeatable.
If AC Milan can again advance to the Champions League final, then the Italian Cup final will be watched not only by Italians but by fans worldwide.
Because they missed the last decisive AC Milan VS San Remo battle that determined the Champions League champion, there’s no way they’ll miss it again this time.
There’s even a prediction that if AC Milan reaches the Champions League final, the subsequent Italian Cup final could likely be ranked among the top five matches in terms of viewership and spread this year.
This includes all matches in the Champions League, Europa League, Serie A, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1.
What does ranking in the top five mean?
El Clásico this year had four league and cup matches!
Premier League’s various top derbies have no fewer than ten matches.
Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A likewise have no fewer than ten super derbies.
And that’s just the league.
In the Champions League, Europa League, these thrilling matches are even more.
Out of more than thirty super matches, what does an Italian Cup final count?
That its ratings and attention could rank in the top five?
This is undoubtedly an epic Italian Cup final.
This will be the most watched edition of the Italian Cup in its lifetime.
Coincidentally, the last time the Italian Cup broke through in attention, it was also thanks to AC Milan VS San Remo.
The last time was a miracle birthed, gaining fame across Europe.
And this time, it’s a miracle reborn, gaining fame globally!
...
The groupings for the Champions League and Europa League have also already come out.
In the Champions League.
AC Milan VS Barcelona.
Bayern Munich VS Manchester United.
Four major leagues facing each other, who will advance to the final?
In the Europa League.
Italy encounters domestic conflict, San Remo VS Inter Milan.
Yet this also means that Italy will have a guaranteed team reaching the UEFA Europa League final.
Earning at least the Europa League runner-up is not too bad!
In the other bracket, it’s the Premier League’s "our Arsenal is invincible" Arsenal VS Bat Corps Valencia.
Full of exciting points.

Using three championships to knock on the door of Serie A.

They will undoubtedly stir up earth-shattering changes in Serie A in the future!
At least, every newly promoted Serie A team thinks so.
They will leave their mark in Serie A.
Of course, the only thing different from other teams promoted to Serie A is.
This San Remo not only completed the three-step promotion but also this season... won the championship unbeaten!
