The focus of the England fans' discussion was by how many goals Arsenal would defeat AC Milan.
That's right!
In the eyes of the arrogant England fans, Arsenal, who dominated the Premier League, would have an undisputed landslide victory against AC Milan.
There was absolutely no controversy...
They only cared about the final score, whether it was a massive slaughter or a narrow victory.
According to the poll results published by Sky Sports online, over 60% of fans believed Arsenal would defeat AC Milan by a large margin.
Over 30% of fans believed Arsenal would narrowly defeat AC Milan.
At the same time, less than 5% of fans believed Arsenal would lose to AC Milan and be eliminated in the Champions League Round of 16.
For these less than 5% of fans, you basically don't need to think much to know which club they belong to...
They are none other than Manchester United and Tottenham, and they are also the extreme fans of these two clubs.
Because any slightly rational fan, if they were honest with themselves, would not believe that Arsenal, who have been dominating everything in the Premier League this season, couldn't even handle a struggling AC Milan.
As for the Italy fans, their views were polarized.
Some believed that Premier League teams were like the England National Team, all show and no substance, seemingly impressive on paper but actually very poor in terms of actual combat strength...
Others believed that since the Calciopoli scandal, Serie A had visibly declined significantly, and the current Serie A was no longer the 'Little World Cup' it once was, and had no right to be arrogant here.
Facing interviews with reporters, most of the AC Milan players were confident, showcasing their legendary demeanor.
Among them, the most outspoken was the Nordic King Ibrahimović. Facing a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport, Ibrahimović spoke freely:
"Very good, I am very satisfied with this opponent..."
"For a while now, I have been tired of the media and the public praising that American. I don't like that arrogant guy..."
"I don't care about Arsenal's League record this season, because they are not in the same League as us. The two sides haven't played against each other, and their achievements in the Premier League are irrelevant to us."
"What? Fly's first career opponent was Milan?"
"Oh... that's not important. That was just a pre-season friendly... It had no real value."
"Besides, I hadn't officially transferred to AC Milan at that time, which is why Arsenal were lucky to win."
"If I had been at AC Milan then, we would have definitely won the final victory, and I have absolute confidence in that!"
"This time, I will teach Fly a good lesson and let the world know that he is just a player with only outward appearance. I hope that after we eliminate them, the media will stop putting me and Fly together. He is not worthy!"
Ibrahimović's extremely arrogant remarks pushed the already heavily hyped Arsenal vs. AC Milan match to another peak.
Many countries still immersed in the past glory of Serie A came out to praise Ibrahimović.
Of course, England fans also furiously attacked Ibrahimović's arrogant remarks. The English have always looked down on this arrogant Swede...
After all, for them, no matter how arrogant Fly is, he is currently the star player of the Premier League and one of their own.
It's fine for them to criticize Fly, but who do you, Ibrahimović, think you are to come and seek attention?
In the end, you are just a jinx who wins the Champions League wherever he leaves...
What he cares about most right now is the Champions League knockout match against AC Milan in February.
Because before this, he had only played in the League, and even in the Champions League, it was only the group stage. He had never played in a 'either you die or I live' knockout match.
Although the previous League matches against Chelsea and Manchester United were also considered 'proving his Dao' battles for Fly by the outside world.
But at that time, this 'proving his Dao' was more about whether Fly himself could prove that he was not just a player who only performed well against weaker teams, and could still have excellent performances against strong teams.
And now, this 'proving his Dao' is a test of Fly's big-game ability.
The ability to play tough matches and the ability to perform in big games are both essential tests for a superstar.
If Fly wants to prove that he is a superstar and the future number one player in football, he must make a breakthrough in the Champions League knockout stage, which symbolizes the highest level of competition in football.
