2026, AC Milan
The former European giant, owner of seven Champions League trophies, the Rossoneri that once made the whole of Europe fearful.
Now——
We are working hard to qualify for the European competition next season.
In the stands of San Siro, several old fans looked at their forward Elio Valerio, who was playing in a mess, and sighed: "It would be great if those people back then were still around."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck Milanello. The next day, there were a few strange people at the Milan training base.
A man wearing a jersey from the last century looked at the current training equipment and was silent.
"Don't you need to run circles in training?"
Elio replied: "Now it's about data analysis."
The man nodded and ran with everyone for twenty kilometers.
⸻
A blond old man looked at the team video and frowned.
"Why do you keep passing the ball?"
Elio: "Because possession is important."
The old man became even more confused, "Then why didn't you score in the end?"
⸻
Elio said excitedly: "I ran 12 kilometers today!"
The old man next to him sneered, "I ran more than you when I was young."
"And I got to score goals."
⸻
Soon, chaos began throughout Milanello.
Nordahl couldn't understand: "Why do strikers nowadays like to leave the penalty area?"
Rivera couldn't understand: "Why is there no traditional No. 10 Now?"
Liedholm couldn't understand: "Why is everyone running so fast but not knowing where the ball is going?"
Rocco couldn't understand: "Why do you continue to take risks after taking the lead?"
Sacchi couldn't understand: "Why is pressing not XI's business?" "And you don't even want to run!"
Capello couldn't understand: "Why not win an ugly game?"
Elio was silent, and then looked at Milan's senior management.
"Very good."
"Looks like we're back at the right time."
⸻
Fans were shocked: "Who are they?"
The staff member replied: "The person in the club's history introduction."
"Wait..."
"You mean..."
"Yes."
"The ancestors of Milan are back."
⸻
From now on.
Strange things happen every day in Milanello:
Elio was asked to recite the history of Milan.
Some people think that modern tactics are too complicated.
After seeing VAR, someone asked: "What new referee training is this?"
There are also people who took selfies with their mobile phones for the first time, and then studied for a long time: "Why can this small box take photos?"
⸻
Everyone thought Milan needed a new boss, new stars, and a new plan.
As a result, they discovered that all Milan lacked was a few grumpy old men.
After all——
If you can't even save your ancestors when they come back.
Then this club is probably really hopeless.
Fortunately, the ancestors of Milan said:
"Go away."
"Let us teach you what Milan is again."
Purpose: The golden age cannot be copied, but the spirit can be passed on
