After four wins in a row in the warm-up game, Inter Milan ended their training camp in the Middle East - and Dick was happy with the camp, at least some of the things he wanted to see had already taken shape in the game, Figo's ability to break through, Sneijder's playmaking ability and his ability to play long and long balls were very good in training, and it was also important that you make the players understand how good this player really is, so that they can believe in this new team-mate in the game.

Figo and Sneijder are Dick's two most important signings this summer, Chigarini and Chiellini are just for future investment, while increasing the number of homegrown players in the team and creating an atmosphere - Moratti not only prefers Argentine players because he has Argentine blood, in fact, after he became the owner until the phone gate, Inter Milan's Italian players are not few, Inter Milan has four Italian internationals in the 02 World Cup, and there are a number of Italian local powerhouses, even in the summer of 04 when Dick took over, Inter Milan still has five members of the Italian national team, including Toldo, Materazzi, Cannavaro, Zanetti and Vieri, as well as homegrown players such as Pasquale, but what about the Argentine players? There are only four players, captain Zanetti, Keely, Almeida and Cruise.

A big factor that caused the scarcity of local players in Inter Milan later was that many capable Italian players were controlled by Moggi's agent company, and Inter Milan couldn't buy too good local players, and after the phone gate, Italian football did have a disconnect, and there were not too many players who made people feel bright, plus Inter Milan was eager to get more championships after the phone gate, and they didn't have much time to train young players. As a result, the number of Argentine players in the team is increasing, so that the barbecue gang has grown, and even began to affect the decision-making of the management - this situation did not form in a day or two.

In addition, the Italian national team later ignored the Italian players of Inter Milan intentionally or unintentionally - think about the 10 years of the World Cup, in the Inter Milan that season won the treble, although there were quite few local players, but Balotelli and others also performed well, but no Inter Milan player in the World Cup was able to enter the Italian national team, and even later, the good performance of Inter Milan players like Ranocchia always continued to lose the Italian national team, To a large extent, this has also affected the concerns of local players about joining Inter Milan, who can't get homegrown and don't have much money, and Inter Milan is looking for the so-called Argentine second division talent to join, which is also a last resort to a large extent......

Dick doesn't want to leave with a few titles at Inter Milan, including at Dortmund before, he knows that he won't coach in Dortmund for a long time, but he still tries to cultivate some players who can be the main force for a long time, and in a position, he must try to do his best, although he also knows that he will not coach Inter Milan forever, but if he can leave some outstanding local players for Inter Milan and reverse this trend, he is also willing to do.

If nothing else, Inter Milan will have four or five homegrown players in the upcoming World Cup – and even if Toldo could lose his chance to play in the World Cup due to the loss of his main position, Materazzi, Cannavaro, Perrotta and Toney can still be key players in the Italian national team!

If Chigarini and Chiellini can grow up, even if they leave Inter Milan, these two youngsters will still be able to leave the backbone of local players for Inter Milan, which is the biggest reason why he decided to bring in these two candidates for future investment.

These two people are for the future, Figo and Sneijder are for the present, transforming the midfield, these two people are the most important candidates, one has experience and ability, the other has the potential and ability, as for Yaya Toure, it can also be used now, there are so many games to play this season, a few strong substitutes are necessary, the front line is Cruise, the midfielders are Yaya Toure and Stankovic, these people are not much worse than the main team, players who can be used to rotate at any time, only the main lineup is strong, Only with excellent bench thickness can it be possible to achieve better results in several fronts.

As for Rebecc, Dick doesn't know if this young man will grow up, the winger who was once very favored in history has not been able to meet people's expectations, and even cannot establish himself in Serie A, and Dick's attitude towards him is only a last substitute, if he can't grow, then he will naturally abandon - it will not be any different because he is an Italian player.

The Middle East is a good place to train out, but the key is that there are not many interruptions and there are not many recreational facilities in the area, so when they return to Milan, the Inter players have completely come out of their holiday state and are starting to prepare for the new season.

In fact, in half a month, they will have their first official match of the season, at home to the Meazza Stadium against last season's Coppa Italia runners-up Roma, if one side wins both the league and cup competitions, then their opponents are not Serie A runners-up, but cup runners-up.

The rules of the Italian Super Cup are like this, there is only one game, which is played at the home of the league champion.

After returning to Milan, Inter Milan began a more active training camp, this season started earlier, and the schedule is a little more intensive than last season - after all, the end of this season is the World Cup, the major leagues will end early, Serie A will end the final round of matches in mid-May, and the schedule will be a little tighter.

This is also the reason why Inter Milan's midfielder has gone to four substitutes, and three players who can play the main force have not caused too much internal instability, the schedule is intensive, so everyone is likely to have more opportunities to play, and naturally there will not be too much competition, among these players in Inter Milan, none of the players have won the Champions Cup, playing under Dick, they have a lot of confidence in winning the Champions Cup, and they will naturally listen to Dick's words more.

The prestige of the manager and the confidence he can bring to the players is better reflected in this situation.

During this period, Dick arranged three warm-up matches again - he was not worried that this would reduce the fitness of the players, because the opponents in the warm-up matches were all lower league teams near Milan, such games were also just for the players to find the form of the game, and one game was scheduled to play against the under-19 youth team of Inter Milan, which naturally did not affect the players' physical fitness too much, and the intensity was not even comparable to the team's confrontation.

In anticipation of Inter Milan fans, Inter Milan ushered in the first official match of the season.

For this season's Roma, Dick is more vigilant, because after the chaos of last season, this season they have found a manager who will make them perform well and be very stable in the future, Spalletti - after getting good results in Udinese last season, Spalletti became the head coach of Roma, even if Udinese is playing the Champions Cup this season, and Roma can only play the League Cup, Roma's status is far higher than Udinese, and Spalletti will not let go of such an opportunity to coach Rome.

Such a coach is coming, Roma in the next few years to make all the strong teams feel a headache of the "wolf" tactics may gradually have a prototype, in fact, this summer's transfer can be seen, Pizarro, Tadej, this is an important member of the "no striker" Rome, although Perrotta was poached by Dick, but the outstanding thing about that Roma is that their midfielders are all quite good, all of them are players who can run, pass and score, and it cannot be said that without one will not work.

The game against Roma is also a test for Inter Milan, and it is also a test for Dick's reconstituted midfield, the opponent can run and rush, and Dick emphasizes the attack in high pressing and fast passing, such a midfield collision will definitely be a pretty good test.

Dick wanted to win the Italian Super Cup, but it would have been nice to have such a game as the official warm-up before this season.

Under the leadership of the new coach Spalletti, the whole Roma team came to Milan in a relatively low-key manner, and in an interview, Spalletti also showed a low profile - after all, coaching Roma is his first time coaching a strong team of this level, and his resume before that is not particularly good, at least far from being compared with Dick, maintaining a low profile, it seems to be better.

"Inter Milan had an unbeatable season last season, while Roma suffered a chaotic defeat. Inter Milan are making a lot of gains in the transfer market right now, and we are not bad. We're going to try to win this game, although it's not going to be easy. The most important thing is what we can gain from this game, to find the right path and move forward in this game, and that's the most important thing. ”

Spalletti's low profile made many media feel dissatisfied, they felt that with Dick's character, hearing such words from the other party would probably become more arrogant and unbeatable - this is what they hate, a foreign coach is so unbeatable in Italy, even if his results are really good, it makes them feel unhappy!

But what made them strange was that Dick actually appeared very cautious in the interview......

'Luciano Spalletti is a very good manager and he was successful at Udinese last season. If he can bring the fluent and aggressive attacking football that he showed at Udinese to Roma, he will be a formidable opponent. Roma's attacking football is the most suitable way to do it, and the bite of a wolf pack is always more terrible than a tiger. Even Mr. Capello played excellent attacking football at Roma, proving that choosing the right tactics is even more important in Rome. It's probably going to be a great game and I've been looking forward to it for a long time. ”

"Dick, is this taking medicine?" Countless Italian reporters have begun to think like this, knowing that he always looked disdainful when facing Juventus and AC Milan last season, but it is indeed a bit unusual to look so low-key before such a non-important Italian Super Cup......

In such speculation, the Italian Super Cup match is just around the corner.
