2.005 transfer
Roma also bought ownership of Chilean midfielder Pizarro, the other half owned by Inter Milan, for which they paid €6 million. Originally, Inter Milan's asking price would have been higher, but before they wanted to get Roma's defender Zivo, for the sake of the relationship between the two sides, they released him at a similar price.
Stankovic and Patrick Vieira followed Mancini to Juventus, bringing back more than €20 million in transfer fees to Inter.
Stankovic is Mancini's old subordinate, he was his old subordinate when Mancini was still in charge of Lazio, and then they met again at Inter Milan, and now Mancini is in charge of Juventus, he needs to have a quality player in the dressing room who is loyal to him, and Stankovic is his first target.
As for Vieira, Juventus originally wanted to bring in Liverpool's Sissoko, although compared to Vieira, Sissoko is not comprehensive enough and has limited attacking ability, but he is young. However, Liverpool are reluctant to let go, and in the real world, Liverpool gave up Sissoko because of the introduction of Mascherano, but now Mascherano was cut off by Lee Seungfeng last season to Sheffield Wednesday, and Benitez, who has no replacement, can only refuse the deal unless Juventus can offer enough euros to convince him.
Juventus were clearly reluctant to do the wrong, and at Mancini's suggestion, they turned to Inter Milan's Patrick Vieira. Lee agreed, of course, and after bringing in the likes of Ribery, Modric, Toure and Robben, Stankovic was long out of his plans. As for Vieira, Vieira, who was only 31 years old, could become the core of Inter Milan's midfield, and his ability is still there, but the injury risk is too great. Li Chengfeng found that his current risk of injury reached 15, which was higher than that of Antonini, and he reluctantly gave up on him when he thought of his name as "Patriotic Peace" in his later life. As for whether it will add a strong competitor to Inter Milan in the league, this Li Chengfeng is not worried.
Take a look at the others that Juventus bought: a generation of defensive striker Iaquinta, 9 million euros Almiron, 10 million euros Andrade, 11 million euros Yaquinta, Stankovic and Vieira are already relatively reliable deals. Juventus are in such a hurry that they can't wait to get back to their original position at the top of the pyramid, and this season they started the XJBM model, but they didn't buy a few good people. After Moggi left, Juventus' new management really didn't do well, and they still have to go back to the level of the top team.
Mancini is really a good person, Li Chengfeng now thinks that although Mancini's coaching ability is average, he is still a good person. However, Lee Seung-peak still wanted a full-time defensive midfielder, and he also needed new players to fill the place where Vieira had left, so he bought Las Diarra from Chelsea for a low price of 3 million euros.
Chelsea don't want to sell people and they want Diarra to replace the ageing Claude Makelele. However, the teenager was unhappy with the frequent right-back role he was made up last season and has made it clear that he will not renew his contract with Chelsea. His contract expired at the end of January 2008 and Chelsea had to sell him to avoid getting nothing. Lee is also in contention with Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, but Lee has earned the trust of the teenager with his partnership at Sheffield Wednesday last season, believing he will get more playing opportunities under Lee in his favourite midfield position.
The only regret is Adriano, Lee Seungfeng originally wanted to sell the former king this summer, and there is no shortage of teams interested in the still young king, the most enthusiastic is Manchester City, who are willing to bid 10 million pounds. However, Moratti also had expectations for Adriano, who rejected the idea of selling him and was only willing to go on loan. Li Chengfeng didn't insist, after all, he was new to the city, and there was no need to affect his relationship with Moratti for this matter. However, Adriano rejected the loan, "either transfer or stay." ”
But Li Chengfeng didn't care, anyway, Adriano won't have many opportunities to play in his Inter Milan, so what does it matter?
After completing the above transfers, Lee Seungfeng still has about 25 million euros at his disposal, the team also needs a central defender, and it is better to bring in a striker who can score goals, Materazzi is old, Córdoba and Burdisso are limited, and Lee Seungfeng needs a first-class central defender. On the forward line, although Klose's ability to do the ball is first-class, his scoring ability is still a little worse. And Crespo is old, and Cruz is more suitable to play as a substitute.
Inter Milan's technical director Blanca has offered two options, Roma defender Chievo and Atalanta striker Suazzo. Li Chengfeng is not satisfied with these two people, the price of more than 10 million euros is just to buy two substitute strength players, no matter how you look at it, it is the behavior of a loser, no wonder Moratti spent so much money in office, but did not win a few championships, if it were not for the outbreak of the phone gate, Inter Milan would not know how many years to accompany him.
'Zivo is a good player, he can play left-back, centre-back, and midfielder, and he can be quasi-first-class in all three positions, but only quasi-first-class. Li Chengfeng explained his thoughts, "If Inter Milan wants to make a breakthrough in the Champions League, they must establish a first-class defensive line, especially the important central defender position, Zivo is still a little bit short of this, and his speed is also a weakness, and he will be blown up when encountering a fast and flexible striker." He could be used as an alternative to complement the depth of the squad if the price is right, but he is not the first choice. ”
Li Chengfeng's statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is also objective, and he has no opinion on giving up Zivo Moratti, and the transfer negotiations with Roma have been tug-of-war for a long time, and Moratti has long been willing to give up. However, there is some insistence on Suazo, on the one hand, Suazo is last season's Serie A silver boot and has strength, on the other hand, AC Milan is also pursuing Suazzo, he also wants to weaken the strength of his opponents in the same city through this means, anyway, Li Chengfeng also wants to find a striker who can score, isn't the Serie A silver boot enough?
"Suazzo really can't. His ability to score so many goals in Atalanta last season had to do with Atalanta's tactics, and the counter-attacking style of play suited to a fast counter-attacking striker like Suazzo. Lee Seung-bong needs to convince Moratti that he doesn't want the team to spend so much money on a player who doesn't have many playing opportunities, "In Italy, there are no teams that need us to use a counter-attacking style of play to deal with, we need players who can score goals in positional battles, such as an opportunist like Inzaghi at AC Milan, or players like Kaka, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo who can create their own chances. ”
"And what about Sheffield Wednesday's Luca Toney? We can bring him back to Serie A. "Moratti's striker plot is always there, and he is bullish on the former European Golden Boot winner Italian.
In the real world, Tony and Klose have become partners in the Bayern team, and the cooperation between the two sides is also good, but they are both center forwards, and there is still some overlap in function, Li Chengfeng hopes to add some other styles to the striker.
'Milito from Zaragoza in Spain is also good, he has been a consistent goalscoring player in recent years, he has a keen nose in the penalty area, he will be a good partner with Klose, and he also has experience of playing in Serie A. Blanca also gave his opinion.
This candidate is okay, and later joined Inter Milan to help Inter Milan win the treble in the 2009-2010 season, but the price may be a little expensive, but he is not worried, Inter Milan's players are still strong, and a few people can be sold to raise another amount of money, so he agreed to Blanca's suggestion, "Take Milito as a priority, within 15 million euros, if not, buy Tony." ”
In the forward position, Li Chengfeng also considered the Argentine Tevez, but his relationship was too complicated, and later, as a Manchester United fan, Tevez also fell out with Manchester United because of the transfer, if it has nothing to do with Horabuchin behind him, Li Chengfeng does not believe it, he does not want to lie in this troubled water. And Tevez is a non-EU player, each Italian team can only bring in one non-EU player from abroad every year this season, and Inter Milan has introduced Yaya Toure in Serie A this season, and there are no non-EU indicators. It's not that there is no way to circumvent this problem, but Tevez is not mature enough now, and Li Chengfeng doesn't want to waste this indicator on him. Inter Milan needs to produce results now, and Li Chengfeng feels that it is not worth using non-EU indicators on him.
At the back, Zivo was rejected, and Lee Seung-peak had another option, Thiago Silva of Fluminense in Brazil. Perhaps because he almost died unexpectedly, this young man, who was later called the world's No. 1 defender for a while, had a composure that was not the same as his age.
Consistency is the most important quality of a defender, and Silva is synonymous with consistency, and in his prime, he was rarely seen making mistakes. In addition to the lack of physical strength, speed, bounce, heading, positioning, and defense are all top level, and the technique and ball ability are also good.
However, Silva is also a non-EU player, and it will take a lot of twists and turns to bring him in, as Inter Milan did before when he brought in Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar, find a third-party Italian club that does not need non-EU indicators to bring him in, and then wait until next summer to buy him, which is actually equivalent to Inter Milan buying Silva and loaning him to a third-party club for a season. This circumvention method is also commonly used by Italian giants, testing the relationship between the clubs and what price they are willing to pay, which Inter Milan will handle.
