Chapter 399: The Dust Has Settled

When Real Madrid announced the signing of Christian Vieri, the main striker of the Italian national team at Inter Milan, for 5 million euros plus young defender Arbeloa, the whole of Europe was shocked again.

Florentino's strategy of "one superstar a year" was successful again, after Vieri joined, Real Madrid's forward line was terrifying, Raul, Ronaldo, Vieri, Morientes, no matter which two of these four people can play the main force in any strong team, but such a striker, Real Madrid has four!

What's even more embarrassing is that the Vero combination, which has not been very formed in Inter Milan, has successfully converged in Real Madrid, and the fans of Inter Milan are a little stunned when they see this scene......

When Dick joined, they were jubilant, thinking that Inter Milan would usher in a revival - although they had also welcomed many famous coaches before - Lippi, who performed at the top of Juventus, came, but left gloomily, Cooper, who had achieved excellent results in Valencia, he once let Inter fans see that the championship was close at hand, but that defeat made Inter Milan pass by the championship again, and now Dick is here, Inter Milan fans are happy and muttering, this magical Chinese coach, Can it really change the curse of more than a decade and let Inter Milan win the league title?

While their joy and doubts were at the same time, they discovered that Vieri, who had been with them in the darkest days of the past, had been sold to Real Madrid after Dick arrived!

It was only sold for five million euros! Although a so-called young player has been added, can such a young player compare with Vieri in any way?

Negative scores! Bad review! Roll rough!

Although they don't understand these words, it doesn't prevent them from expressing such intentions.

Soon, many Inter fans gathered on Via Durini, where Inter Milan's headquarters are located, and unfurled banners to protest the club's actions......

Instead of targeting Dick directly, they expressed their dissatisfaction with Inter Milan, who were on an eleven-game winless run in the league last season and had to play in the UEFA Cup.

Inter Milan is smiling bitterly, this thing was made by Dick, but Dick is not in Milan now, he is in Monaco, and in the end it was Facchetti who came forward to appease the fans, saying that Inter Milan will have a big change this season, please wait patiently......

And at this time, Dick once again made his last shot.

Empoli were relegated last season, and many players in their team became sought-after, but this time, Dick has his eye on the low-key goalscorer who has become more and more fragrant as he gets older, Di Natale.

Di Natale is not a pure goalscorer now, in Empoli he plays more on the wing, he is a very well-rounded player, whether it is on the wing, shadow striker or striker position he played when he was young, in the first few seasons of Udinese he also played on the wing, until the later period began to change to the scorer position, the result is out of control, setting a miraculous record of more than 20 goals in Serie A for four consecutive seasons.

If you want to introduce this player, Dick of course has his considerations, now in the forward position, how can there be enough people, Tony and Ade will be his main striker candidates, substitutes Cruise, Martins and Recoba, but in the midfield position, it still seems relatively weak, especially on both sides, only Perrotta and Stankovic can play on both sides, Semioli can barely play this position, but Semioli's strength still seems slightly worse, and he can be a substitute, With the addition of Di Natale, he can provide enough substitute resources for the two wings.

And Di Natale has always been a relatively low-key player, he can play in Udinese with a base salary for the last ten years, which is enough to prove that this player does not have much ambition, although Dick can not guarantee his main position, but Dick has a self-credit rotation to let him get enough opportunities to play, and when he matures a little more, maybe it is when he shines at Inter Milan!

Udinese is a bloody mold now, they have already talked about it with Di Natale, but at this time, Inter Milan has intervened, and they have done a lot of this kind of thing this season, first intercepting Chiellini, who is going to Juventus, and then snatching Mascherano in front of everyone, and now Di Natale......

For Di Natale himself, he naturally prefers to go to a big club like this, he is only twenty-five years old now, he has been with Empoli for five years, and the idea of trying to go to a big club is quite normal, not to mention that Dick also called him and stressed that although you will not be the main player at Inter Milan, you will be a very important rotation substitute......

What really moved Di Natale was Dick's last words.

"Do you want to progress faster? Want to be around the highest level players and see what kind of quality they are showing? I can assure you that at Inter Milan you get it all. ”

After listening to this sentence, Di Natale decided to go to Inter Milan, he is not the kind of young player who only blindly fantasizes, he has his own considerations, going to Inter Milan may not be able to play any games, but you must know that he was born in the small team Empoli, and returned to Empoli after being loaned out for a few years, a dozen is five years, including three seasons of Serie B games, he is enough in terms of experience, on the contrary, in terms of vision, it is not wide enough.

Although he has met all kinds of superstars in the league, watching the opponent's performance on the field is far less profound than being able to come day and night in training.

Although he is a low-key striker, but low-key does not mean that he is not ambitious, and ambitious strikers must be hungry for stronger strength and better performance, so Di Natale was undoubtedly moved by Dick......

Three million euros, Inter Milan did not pay much, after all, Empoli is a relegated team, Dick pulled out his teeth, and forcibly snatched their main striker and captain for the next ten years from Udinese......

This made the Udinese side very annoyed, and in desperation, they had no choice but to buy Reggina's Di Michele - the goalscorer who debuted almost at the same time as Di Natale and whose name was very close, became the striker of Udinese......

This also annoyed Dick's behavior, which made Dick want to bring in Udinese's Chilean midfielder Pizarro next year, but Udinese flatly refused, and then sold Pizarro to Roma. Of course, that's a story for another time.

At this point, Dick's recruitment is all over, and Inter Milan's pre-season training camp is about to begin!

It's just that Dick still has something to do before the pre-season training camp begins.

"Mr. Fachetti, this summer transfer, I think I can play 90 points." Dick said to Fachetti with a smile.

Fachetti is obviously in a good mood, although he has spent a lot of money in the transfer market, but he has cleaned up so many players, and his salary expenditure has been reduced by a full 40 million, which is already worth the transfer funds used for Dick this season, not to mention that Dick has not used up the money.

Adriano 10 million, Mascherano 10 million, McConn 3 million, Chiellini 7 million, Perrotta 7 million, Maggio 1.5 million, Cesar free, Arbeloa free, Semioli's half ownership Inter Milan took 3 million, Di Natale 3 million, Toni 6 million - these are the eleven signings of Inter Milan this season, a total of 50 and 500 million euros spent on them.

And Cuarón sold five million, Van der Meyde sold six million, Chiellini's half ownership was sold for three and a half million, Vieri sold five million, and Kieli sold two million, and Inter Milan received 21.5 million in income from these players, that is, 11 million euros remained unspent.

In other words, Inter Milan's spending in the transfer market this season is actually only 29 million, less than 30 million, relatively speaking, it is already a very small expenditure.

"Mr. Fachetti, I don't think this money can be put back into the club's account yet." Dick said what he meant.

"Huh? Do you still want to buy players? Who do you want to buy? Facchetti was stunned for a moment, then asked.

"It's not about buying people, it's about the club's training facilities...... To be honest, the infrastructure of the Pinettina training base ...... It's not like a training facility that a big club can have. I've been to Pinettina and the turf is hard, it's hot now, and when the weather cools down, such a hard turf is very likely to cause damage to the players...... It's no wonder that Inter Milan has always started to have a lot of injuries in the winter in recent years, and the turf is certainly a factor! ”

Facchetti was stunned for a moment, he didn't pay so much attention to it when he was an athlete, and when he heard Dick say this, he also began to feel the seriousness - in the past few years, Inter Milan did always have a large number of injuries in the winter, many of them were not injured in the game but in training, and now it seems that there is really a problem with the turf......

"The other is the dormitory at the training base, which is so dilapidated...... Isn't it troublesome to spend some money on repairs? When Inter Milan played at home before, where did you live two days before the game? Dick continued.

Facchetti felt a little ashamed: "...... to book a hotel in Milan"

“…… At least three stars or more, right? With that money, it is better to decorate the dormitory at one time, rest in the training base and rest better, and set off together to participate in the competition the next day...... It's much better to make a one-time investment than to spend money in a hotel all the time. Dick said after a moment of silence.

Speaking of this, Dick couldn't help but shake his head, Inter Milan is indeed very famous, but in such details and facilities, it is really not professional at all, it seems very amateurish, to be honest, the club training lawn under the floor heating, to the club dormitory for good decoration, these are small problems, but small problems, sometimes become big problems, such as the story of one less nail, which eventually led to the demise of the whole country, is an example.

"Understood...... Actually, the expenses are not too low, and I will find a way to raise them. Facchetti didn't have the slightest pretension at this time, and immediately replied.
