Mourinho asked Moratti to bring him Yang Fan, Moratti agreed to Mourinho's request, and Inter Milan immediately provided Wolfsburg with an offer. (No pop-up ads)

Three or four days passed, and Wolfsburg did not give a clear response: there was no refusal, no nod.

When Moratti and Mourinho talked about it on the phone, Mourinho immediately became happy, "No news, it's the best news." ”

Moratti was quick to react and understood what Mourinho meant and the meaning behind Wolfsburg's move.

Wolfsburg is clearly hesitating. That's a good thing, when this hesitation is confronted with an offer that can't be refused, it's all that's left to nod.

However, this also means that Inter Milan's first offer worth 30 million euros cannot satisfy Wolfsburg's appetite, and Inter Milan must increase the price if they want to get Yang Fan.

This made Moratti hesitate, Moratti is not the kind of rich man who rivals the rich, the Moratti family is not at the top of the rich list even in Italy, over the years, Moratti has spent a lot of money on football, more because of his love for football, for Inter Milan, he is really not a super rich.

The offer of 30 million euros is almost the limit of what Inter Milan can afford.

30 million euros is not enough, and the price will continue to increase!Moratti hesitated.

At this time, Inter Milan manager Blanca stepped up, and he clearly opposed the introduction of Yang Fan at such a large expense.

Blanca was almost unequivocally opposed to the sky-high price of reinforcements, which Moratti couldn't help but take seriously.

When it comes to Inter Milan's current dominance in Serie A, in addition to the factor of phone door, I have to mention the credit of a person for so many years, this person is Blanca, the current manager of Inter Milan.

When Moratti first took over Inter Milan, he did not hesitate to squander a lot of gold dollars to accumulate stars for the sake of results, and even Ronaldo, Baggio, and Vieri were on the same team, which was definitely a big waste. And that was when Inter's results were at their worst. However, there was one person in the Inter Milan squad that would play a profound role in the future of Inter Milan: striker Marco Blanca, who was brought in from Roma in 1995 and scored 17 goals in 24 games in his first season. However, he then struggled and moved to Middlesbrough in 1998 before retiring at Monza in 2000. I don't know if it was Moratti's affection for Blanca or Blanca's continued affection for his old club, he returned to Inter Milan in 2002 as team manager, was promoted to head scouting in 2003, and in 2004 he became technical director in charge of all transfers, and he also has Facchetti's full trust.

What allowed Blanca to establish himself was the signing that made Inter fans still talk about it now - Cambiaso joined Inter Milan on a free transfer. Blanca persuaded Real Madrid president Perez to agree to Cambia joining Inter Milan on a free transfer. To this day, Blanca recalls the story with such pride. "I met him for the first time, I talked to him for more than 3 hours, and I felt that he broke out ****, he became a model for us, or zero transfers. I remember when I walked into Perez's office again in 2005, the first thing Perez said was, "Oh, I've finally met the person who made me a sinner, and the media has been criticizing me for getting rid of Cambiaso for a year." ”

Still at that meeting, Blanca successfully persuaded Perez to sell Samuel for 15 million and improved the Inter lineup, which Real Madrid spent 26 million when they bought Samuel. In addition to the above two, Figo and Solari are both zero transfers, and Blanca only spent 15 million to get Cambiasso, Figo, Samuel and Solari from Real Madrid, four of whom have made indelible contributions to the revival of the Nerazzurri.

In the first three years of Blanca's first years, Inter Milan made a transfer profit of 21 million euros, which is a profit that is difficult to see at Moratti's Inter Milan, and the first-team squad has also been reduced from 34 to 24 players, and the operation has shifted to a healthy operation. In 2003, Blanccan Guò took Van der Meyde with a roundabout tactic, the free market grabbed the beast Davis, and in 2004, he got Veron for free and signed Boca captain Boca Boudisso for a mere 5 million.

What Inter Milan fans are most talking about is what happened in 2005 and 2006, 2005 was a year of Blanca's fame, beating AC Milan to get Crespo from Chelsea for free, in 2006, when Ibrahimovic was about to join AC Milan, Blanca took advantage of Milan's busy Champions League play-offs to blitz Juventus and Ibrahimovic himself, which is tantamount to stealing people directly from their city rivals; these two deals alone have made Nerazuri cheer, but that's not all, he has already acquired Cesar, one of the two best goalkeepers in Serie A today, for free, compared to Buffon's high priceCesar's free transfer can be called the best reinforcement for the goalkeeper position; Cesar, McCone and Ibrahimovic can be called the three cornerstones of Inter's revival, and McCone also joined the Nerazzurri in 2005, when McCone was unknown, Blanca bought McCone, who has now won universal praise, for only 6 million at a low price, and in the same year, left-back Maxwell joined for free, and Vieira joined for 9 million. Just look at Blanca's own talk about the process of these transfers, and you will know how amazing he is. "Cesar just won the Copa America, Porto is very interested, I got in touch with Susanna and Cesar, and did Toldo's work, Cesar is willing to go to Chievo first to "transition", and then join us, Maxwell was still not for sale at Ajax in 2004, Arsenal has always been interested, but no one cares about him after he was injured, so it just gives me the opportunity to bring in for free. Burdisso is only 5 million and can play in every position. It's a pity that there are no such people in Italy. ”

Vieira and Ibra, two former Juventus people, reflect Blanca's speed, "I went to Paris to persuade Vieira, and it only cost 9.5 million, less than half when he transferred to Juventus. Ibra had already been in contact with Juventus in the morning and in person in the afternoon, when AC Milan were playing qualifying. ”

In 2007, Blanca deepened AC Milan's hatred of him again, and shortly after Milan officially announced the signing of Suazo, he wore the blue-black striped shirt. In the same year, Blanca defeated Real Madrid to take on all-round defender Zivo.

Judging from the transfer over the years, Blanca's transfer operation has several characteristics, the first is that the price is the priority, which is the most commendable place of Blanca, there are free and absolutely do not cost money, such as Cambiaso, Figo; The second is the proper use of tactics, a combination of tug-of-war and blitzkrieg, with Ibrahimovic and Muntari showing his speed and Zivo showing his patience. The third is to be good at attacking the heart, Zivo and Suazzo were not going to Inter at that time, and they were all the results of Blanca's use of communication. The fourth is to be good at using money, and Blanca likes to add useless players as chips to the trade, which can save money and slim down the roster. In short, Blanca used his excellent work to bring a strong squad to Inter Milan and save money for the Moratti family.

From here, it is not difficult to see Blanca's contribution to Inter Milan, and now he is clearly opposed to spending sky-high transfer fees to bring in Yang Fan, and Moratti does not hesitate.

Jose Mourinho has not yet officially taken up the position of Inter Milan manager and he has found that there is someone he does not like. In fact, Mourinho is the kind of coach who likes to grasp the team and the club's recruitment, which has a natural contradiction with the club manager.

Mourinho was furious when he learned of Blanca's opposition, and he called Inter Milan President Moratti directly and said bluntly, "If you want to win the Big Ear Cup as soon as possible, then pay for the Chinese!"

Yang Fan didn't know that because of him, Inter Milan's unappointed head coach had already had a conflict with the club manager.

He is now focusing all his energy on the team's final sprint of the season.

On 14 May 2008, the day of the 2007/2008 UEFA Cup final, there was still a week to go, but the whole of Wolfsburg was already boiling over and the final was highly anticipated.

'Go to the UEFA Cup final'!

'Go to Manchester to watch the game'!

Such slogans resounded among Wolfsburg fans, and countless fans began to plan their trip to Manchester.

However, before this final, the people of Wolfsburg did not forget to vent their frustration with the German Football Association.

Ahead of this UEFA Cup final, Wolfsburg have a Bundesliga game to play. As is customary for European clubs, kick-off this weekend before the big European competition can be kicked off one or two days earlier, so that the European teams in the league can get more time to rest.

However, this situation does not apply to Wolfsburg now.

Because there are only two rounds left in the Bundesliga this season, whether it is the competition for Champions League qualification or the relegation battle, it is in full swing, in this case, in order to ensure fairness, the German Football Association stipulates that all nine matches in the last two rounds of the league must be kicked off at the same time.

In view of this rule, the DFB rejected Wolfsburg's request to bring their match against Stuttgart forward by a day.

In this case, the match between Wolfsburg and Stuttgart will only be played on May 10, and after this league game, Wolfsburg will need to leave for Manchester non-stop to prepare for the match against Zenit St. Petersburg.

The German Football Association did not agree to Wolfsburg's request for an early match, which caused great dissatisfaction among Wolfsburg fans, and the DFB's phone call was almost blown up by angry Wolfsburg fans.

The fans' protests were to no avail, and Wolfsburg were only able to play their third game in the last week on May 10, hosting defending champions Stuttgart.
