The 2010 World Cup finally came to an end, with Spain, the king of the warm-up tournament, beating the uncrowned king of the Netherlands, to win the tournament and they were the eighth country to win the World Cup.

The killer of the Netherlands is the little white Iniesta who doesn't like and is not very good at shooting, and Sneijder, who has been great all the way, finally did not resist fate, and the hat of the uncrowned king can only continue to be worn on the head of the Netherlands.

The day after the World Cup, Inter Milan began their first training session of the summer. It also means that Inter Milan has officially entered the era of Benitez from the Mourinho era.

As many of Inter's World Cup internationals are currently on vacation, the players in Inter's training camp are mainly those who have no World Cup assignments and some players who are out on loan. These include the likes of new signings Luka Castellazzi, Philippe Coutinho and Obi.

Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho was bought by Inter Milan for €3.8 million from Vasco da Gama two years ago, but because the Brazilian Football Federation stipulates that players under the age of 18 cannot move abroad (except Portugal), Filipe Coutinho will continue to play for Vasco da Gama on loan for two seasons until this year.

Although the World Cup dinner made Inter Milan fans eat with oil, more than 2,000 Inter fans came to watch the Pinettina training base on the day of Inter Milan's training camp.

It was already hot in Milan in July, but Benitez was still in a straight suit and a blue-and-black tie waiting at the Pinettina training base.

The first to arrive on the pitch were captain Zanetti and three vice-captains, Materazzi, Gao Xiaodong and Córdoba.

Benitez didn't wait for the captains to come and greet him, but took the initiative to go over and shake hands with the captains.

Zanetti and Gao Xiaodong and others were a little moved, and it was rumored that Benitez was a very unkind coach, and now it seems that the rumors are not all correct.

Unexpectedly, after shaking hands and greeting him, Benitez pointed to the huge photo of Mourinho holding the trophy hanging on the barbed wire and said: "Let's go take that photo down and affect the sight of the fans outside." ”

Zanetti, Materazzi, Gao Xiaodong, and Córdoba looked at each other, because Benitez's excuse was too lame, and it was better to say that I didn't like the photo of Mourinho winning the trophy.

However, except for Materazzi who was a little straighter, the other three captains were all human spirits, and they didn't say anything, and followed Benitez to pick up photos, although Materazzi was upright, but he was not stupid, he was so old, he wanted to stay at Inter Milan, and he had to be taken care of by the coach, so he didn't object, he was stunned for a moment, and he also went over to help pick up photos.

Taking off the photo, Benitez's expression was much more relaxed, and he chatted with the four captains about his coaching philosophy while holding the training equipment with them.

'I'm different from Jose Mourinho and I want us to play better and be a team that presses more and controls the ball more. I've been connected to football all my life, and I did teach football theory when I was a PE teacher in college, so it's okay to say I'm a teacher. I'm committed to teaching my football philosophy and trying to make the team better, not just telling the players to do this and that, but communicating on a deeper level, using actual templates to let the players know how to deal with each situation. My team focuses on myself and thinks more about how to improve my own quality. We have improved, and the opponent has naturally become smaller. Of course, at a certain point in a match, there is no rule out adjusting yourself according to the opponent. ”

"Italians and Spaniards are the same, stubborn and deeply in love with their own traditions, and feel that their way of thinking and rules of doing things cannot be changed. My point is: retain their strengths such as creativity, get ahead of others' intuition, improve on what they have not done, learn to plan for the long term, and keep their feet on the ground. That's what I did when I was at Liverpool, combining Spanish skill and imaginative thinking with British rigor and professionalism. The essential difference between Italian and English players lies in their minds and cultural roots. The English value the process of work, and the result comes naturally, while the Italians only value the result, and the reverse comes, so they fall behind......"

Benitez talked eloquently, mainly talking about two points, one is that he and Mourinho have different coaching styles and philosophies, and the other is that Italian football has fallen behind, and English and Spanish football are the trend of modern football.

For the four captains of Inter Milan, who won the treble higher, they must be very unhappy and unconvinced by such a statement, the backward won the treble, and the advanced Premier League did not win anything, such a statement is really unconvincing.

The five of them chatted for about ten minutes, Benitez was very satisfied, he thought that he had achieved the goal of winning the support of the captains through the exchange, but in fact, only Benitez was satisfied, and the four captains of Zanetti were not dissatisfied, they thought that Benitez was too arrogant, and he looked down on Serie A a little in his bones.

At half past nine, most of the players arrived one after another, only Balotelli had not yet arrived, Benitez looked at his watch, "Since Balotelli has not arrived, we don't have to wait for him, we will start training in ten minutes, now everyone is familiar with each other first, and the newcomers introduce themselves." ”

The rookie players were a little restrained when they introduced themselves, but after the introduction, the young man named Coutinho was very flexible, had a high emotional intelligence, and took the initiative to come over to greet the big brothers.

Most of the main players are not there, and tactical training is definitely not possible, mainly physical training.

After the start of training, Balotelli came to the training ground lazily, Benitez knew that Balotelli was ready to transfer, and did not criticize him, and directly let Balotelli train with the team.

Obviously, you can't just do physical training in one day, when Moratti and Inter Milan executives came to watch in the afternoon, Inter Milan had a group confrontation match, Benitez deliberately let the young and old players separate the confrontation, obviously, the old players are very experienced, but the running ability is average, and they are quickly washed away by the young people.

Among the young players, the Brazilian teenager Coutinho is particularly outstanding, he handles the ball quite beautifully, and every time he gets the ball, he can break through the defense of two or three players, and the old players of Inter Milan can't put their faces down to mark him, and after Coutinho scored two goals in a row and assisted once, Gao Xiaodong took the initiative to take on the task of defending Coutinho, which suppressed Coutinho's momentum.

Benitez clearly didn't expect Coutinho to be so technically good, and after training, he was full of praise for Coutinho, assuring him that if he trained well, he would have a place in the first team.

Moratti was also moved by Coutinho, he originally had the idea of keeping Balotelli, and seeing Coutinho's performance so well, he decided to let Balotelli, a troublemaker, go.

After training, in response to Balotelli's tardiness, Benitez laid down detailed rules for the team, which were later called Inter's 12 rules of conduct by Materazzi.

Benitez's debut was not very good, and his behavior of taking down the photo of Mourinho made the old players feel a little uncomfortable, and they felt that Benitez's heart did not seem to be too broad-minded, and it may not be easy to get along in the future.

This incident alone did not have much impact on Benitez, after all, the new coach wanted to erase the mark of the old coach, but then when Inter Milan asked for Liverpool defender Mascherano, Liverpool asked Inter Milan to exchange for Cambiasso, Benitez agreed, which annoyed Inter's Argentine gang.

Although Mascherano is also Argentine, he is not in the same gang as Zanetti and Cambiaso, and the reason why Zanetti and Cambiasso are absent from this World Cup is because the Argentine group led by Mascherano and Messi rejects Zanetti.

Therefore, Benitez wants to exchange Cambiasso for Mascherano, which is tantamount to weakening the "Zanetti Gang". Inter's Argentine gang wouldn't agree, of course.

Zanetti, who has always been low-key and modest, was the first to come out against it, "Mascherano is a smart player. He's got a lot of running ability, he can grab a lot of balls every game, and he's a very good team player. ”

Zanetti first praised Mascherano and then changed his tune: "Of course it's very important to bring in a player like him, there's no doubt about that. But there must be no discussion of Cambiasso as a bargaining chip! Without Cambiaso, there would be no Inter Milan!"

Benitez and Mourinho are in a different situation, Mourinho is facing Inter Milan who have nothing in the Champions League, Benitez is facing a group of treble winners, Benitez has no strength to compete with the most powerful Argentine gang, so he has to publicly say that Cambiaso is an important member of Inter Milan, and he and Mascherano can coexist.

Although Benitez temporarily helped Argentina, he and the Argentine gang have since formed a knot, so that they are incompatible with each other.
