Chapter 464: Competition in the Training Camp

As for AC Milan, they are also Inter Milan's main rivals in the league, this season they brought in Gilardino to make their forward line more tough, Jankulovski's addition is to give their wings fresh blood, plus free transfer to Volger and Karachi, their strength has also been replenished to a certain extent, although the problem of aging personnel has not been solved, but their overall strength is still quite strong.

Roma have made a few good deals this season, except for the introduction of Pizarro from Udinese, which cost them 13 million euros, the rest of the introductions are basically free transfers, but they have strong players such as Roundup, Kufuor, Taddej, Doni, after the failure of last season, Roma has begun their rebuild.

These three teams will be Inter Milan's opponents in the league, and on the European continent, the major giants are also recruiting, Barcelona's transfer last season was perfect, Eto'o, Deco and others joined them to win the league title last season, this season they are only free transfers in the transfer market to bring in Van Bommel and Esguero to strengthen their strength, after last season's big spending, this season Barcelona also needs to save a little money, while Riquelme, Rustu, The handling of high-paid players such as Saviola and Gerrard who are no longer playing has been key to their summer, and after four years of hibernation, Barcelona have embarked on a pragmatic revival, with the league and Champions League doubles of the season and will be Inter's biggest rivals in the Champions League.

Real Madrid has started a lot of blood changes, Figo's departure means that the Galaxy has begun to reorganize, and at the same time the departure of Solari, Serades and Portillo, in terms of reinforcements, they got Owen at a low price of 10 million euros, and at the same time brought in Sevilla's twin stars Ramos and Baptista at a high price, and they are now still pursuing Santos' Robinho, which makes them invest close to 100 million euros this summer, after being defeated by the rising Barcelona last season, Florentino began his final madness!

In the Premier League, after Mourinho won the league title that Chelsea coveted last season, this season he once again spent a lot of money, Essien 24 million pounds, Wright Phillips 21 million pounds, Del Orno 8 million pounds, these three people they spent more than 50 million pounds, more than 70 million euros, transferred Thiago, Kezman, Parker, Fossell and a large number of redundant personnel, Mourinho's Chelsea began to become more lean, they have only one goal this season, That was the league title and the Champions Cup – they reached the last four last season only to be kept out of the final by Liverpool, much to the dismay of Chelsea.

Arsenal continued their small business, selling Patrick Vieira and bringing in Hleb, who had played well in Stuttgart, as well as loaning young player Song, who wanted to show his young players again.

After Manchester United's investment last season, there was no big introduction this season, Van der Sar two million pounds, Park Ji-sung four million pounds, no one thought that the introduction of Van der Sar would completely change the goalkeeper problem that Manchester United had been trapped in for five years - it can only be said that sometimes it is not good to spend more money, the key is to look at the level of the player!

Benitez continued to play his selling and buying big man in Liverpool, introducing many powerful factions such as Crouch, Sissoko, Cenden, Reina, etc., selling Owen, selling Barosh and Diouf, and terminating contracts with meritorious players such as Diarra, Pellegrino, Biscayne, and Smitchell.

These teams, plus Bayern, will be Inter Milan's opponents in the Champions Cup - after a year of Inter Milan gap, Dick began to look forward to this season's Champions Cup competition, the draw for Inter Milan in the Champions Cup this season has actually been very lucky, the three opponents in the group stage are not strong, after qualifying as the first place, they met Ajax, who was already in poor form, and after entering the quarterfinals, they met Villarreal, which was not particularly strong, However, they lost the game due to infighting in a good situation, otherwise they would have been more than capable of wrestling with Arsenal in the semi-finals, and maybe they would have reached the final against Barcelona......

However, now that he has changed his own coaching of Inter Milan, I'm afraid there is no such a good thing, UEFA is now most likely to look down on himself, he coached for five seasons, and won four European championships, except for losing the Champions Cup in the second year of Dortmund, the other four seasons have won the European championship, including two League Cups and two Champions Cups, and then go on like this, European competitions have become a stage for Dick to grab the championship alone, If Mourinho and Benitez hadn't won a Champions Cup in these two seasons, the limelight of the entire European competition would have been stolen by Dick alone!

So Dick also knows very well in his heart that this season, it will not be too easy, domestically, Moggi is expected to have the final madness, and in the European arena, he will also face all the strong teams to chase and intercept, in this case, Inter Milan is already very strong, but he must also be ready for everything.

"Luiz, you can slow down when you have the ball, but you have to be quick when you have the chance! Of course, I know you know when you should be fast and when you should be slow, everyone, when Luis is on the field, the rhythm is controlled by him, when he is not on the field, the rhythm is based on our usual training, strengthen the running, create opportunities through passing and pressing, can attack quickly, quickly pass the ball to the feet of the two strikers, can not attack quickly, just organize slowly, in short, whether it is a counterattack or a positional battle, we need to come out of our own level! ”

"Wesley, mind you, you're the playmaker in the midfield...... It's good to run a lot, but don't run blindly, be familiar with the way your teammates run, and where they will appear in what situations...... The moment you look up, you have to look at the most suitable passing route, forward, back to defense, maybe you don't need to contribute much to the defense, but you need to organize in the back and then seize the opportunity to resolutely plug in, this is a heavy task, but I believe you will do it. ”

"Wright, the drop back to get the ball is in Wesley's back to organize you to do it, you know? When Wesley is already on top, you have to create a threat in the box, attract their defence, have a chance to do it yourself, and if you don't have a chance, you have to empty their defense at the edge of the box! At the same time, you can also pull the edge...... A top striker can not only score goals himself, but also pass the ball to his teammates, you know? ”

"Luka, remember that your position is centre-forward! It's just a job to pull out the ball and play the ball, you have to be up front, create more chances for your team-mates, and when there's a pass, you have to create chances for the defenders as soon as you get it! ”

"Xavier, interception is not only to disrupt the opponent's attack, but also to launch the first attack...... Try to break the ball to where your teammates are, and Wesley will pick you up...... Cristiano, your job is the same, the defensive midfielder can also be the initiator of the attack. ”

"Xavier, pay attention to your position, be bold when assisting, we have enough attacking space at the back, and the forward insertion can also distract the opponent's defense, and Simeone can do more coordination, you are very strong in the forward insertion, if you don't use it, it will be wasted."

"Marko, your long pass can also be a weapon for attacking, don't blindly make a long pass, you have to be targeted, we have the ability to control the ball in the front, this is the time to play your characteristics, but also pay attention to the situation around you, if there is danger around you, I'd rather kick the ball out than give the opponent a chance to break the ball in the backfield, understand?"

"Pressing from a high position makes the organization of the opponent's midfield unable to go smoothly, in this case, Xavier and Ivan should pay attention to the defense, so as not to be penetrated by the opponent's speed...... Julio, expand your range of motion a bit, that's what you're good at. ”

Words like this often resounded on the training ground, and changes are gradually happening, to the players' surprise, in the team's confrontation, last season's substitute goalkeeper Cesar began to appear more on the main side, and it seems that Toldo has the posture to be reduced to a substitute......

For this, the two goalkeepers naturally have their own thoughts, Cesar is very happy, after all, it is everyone's hope to play the main team, and he is not a young goalkeeper, and Toldo is a little puzzled - his performance last season was not bad, but this season Inter Milan obviously played more actively, so it seems that the advantage lies in the reaction and attack of Cesar, who is really likely to become the main goalkeeper......

However, he can also see that with this trend, it is only a matter of time before Cesar takes his place, he is now thirty-four years old, and the downward trend of reaction has been gradually reflected since last season, but last season Inter Milan used a large number of defensive players to protect the front of the penalty area in defense, so that Toldo's characteristics can be fully played, so that his goals are not small, compared with five years ago, Toldo's reaction has indeed begun to decline, After all, he is thirty-four years old, even if this age is not too big for a goalkeeper, but a goalkeeper with a very large height advantage like Toldo is even more obvious.

No one wants to be a substitute, but for a goalkeeper who has gone downhill, even being a substitute is not unacceptable, not to mention that Toldo is already planning to retire at Inter Milan, as a substitute for a few years, win a few championships and then retire, which is also a pretty good choice, and Inter Milan is thriving after Dick takes over, everyone can see that Toldo actually has a certain psychological preparation for this.

Dick chose to be silent about this, he didn't talk to anyone between the two people, but just kept letting the two goalkeepers guard the door behind the main defensive line, including the two warm-up games during the training camp, they also played two halves each, such a game naturally will not have any reference significance, Inter Milan won the opponent in both games, everyone has a chance to play, and the goalkeeper has not been tested much, such a game, It's just to give the players a feel for the game.

In the pre-season training camp, any player starts to feel that this season's Inter Milan is stronger than last season, and the competition will be more fierce than last season!
