Chapter 310: The New Season Begins

"Inter Milan has always been my first choice because I've admired Mancini since I was in Lazio. Zamorano has left a fond memory here, and I hope to be his heir. I want to finish my Serie A experience at Inter Milan," said 26-year-old Chilean signing Pizarro in an interview, saying that the success of "Ivan the Terrible" Zamorano at Inter Milan had a big impact on his arrival, "I am not Veron's deputy, nor am I here to reserve for the future of the club, I want to be part of Inter Milan now." I'm just starting to train now and I'm going to work really hard to make it difficult for Mancini to keep me from being a regular player. ”

Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini said of Pizarro's arrival: "Pizarro is a player of extraordinary skill and the club has brought him in for the future, so we will have more options in our midfield. Pizarro and Veron can play at the same time, and he could be our Pirlo. Veron was in the middle, Cambiasso moved to the left, and Solari was a versatile player who could play left and right, and could even play in midfield. Too many South Americans are not a problem, the Argentines who stayed were tested last season, when we had a lot of Argentines in Lazio and won the league title. ”

Pizarro was the man he strongly wanted to sign. Unlike Rico, McConn, etc., Pizarro has already gained his trust.

"I'm not the kind of person who can decide fate. Inter have done fantastic in the market and the other guys they have brought in are excellent. I and a couple of newcomers this year know that Moratti is optimistic about us and that we have a lot of responsibility. Inter have laid a good foundation for the team that will make it possible for us to defend our title," said the 27-year-old when he joined, "and everyone knows that I didn't have a good season at Real Madrid last season. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Inter see me as a fundamental element of development and include me in their plans, which is the most convincing for a player. For the World Cup, I have to perform, so joining Inter is the ideal way to do it. ”

Facchetti was delighted with the arrival of Samoel, who told a press conference: "It will be a great return. In Italy, he had a brilliant time with Roma, but also in the national team. He's an absolutely trustworthy player and no one doubts his quality. He wanted to come back and chose Inter Milan because he wanted to get something that he didn't get at Real Madrid last season. ”

Figo, another strong signing from Real Madrid, complimented the current top names of the team, Ricardo and Adriano: "Although the great Ronaldo has been lost, Inter Milan's competitiveness will not decrease this season. We have a good run in the transfer market and we have kept Ricardo and Adriano. I would say it's great to play with these two strikers, they both have the potential to reach Ronaldo's heights and I'm going to do everything I can to help them. ”

Figo, who was born in 72, is almost 33 years old, and he has lost his competitiveness in the star-studded Real Madrid, and it is likely that he came to Inter Milan to retire.

It's really sad that in the past two decades, if a top star joins La Liga from Serie A, it is a pension, and going to the Premier League is a technical poverty alleviation. And now Serie A has been reduced to a retirement home.

"The addition of a world-class star like Figo will give the team a lot of competitiveness," Mancini commented, "and he is a player who can really change the game. It's a shame to lose Ronnie, but I think Figo can help us keep improving and I'm sure he can help Ricardo and Adriano on the pitch. ”

Of course, the new signing Rico thanked Licardo at the press conference: "Joining Inter Milan has been my dream since I was a child. Ricardo is a good friend of mine, we've been close since we were in São Paulo, and it's great to be playing with him again. I'm not afraid of competition and I believe I can learn a lot in Serie A and improve my abilities. I'm going to look for a house next to Lake Como with Ricardo, and I'm going to be his neighbor. ”

"I've been a fan of Inter Milan since I was a kid and I'm very happy to be with such a great team as Inter Milan, I don't want to go anywhere but Inter. Roberto Mancini told me about his plans and I was immediately impressed," said McConn, who said he was a loyal man, "I came here to give everything I could to help the team defend their title." Licardo is a friend of mine, he is young but he is already an indispensable figure for the national team and the club. In the national team, he was my senior and I respected him. ”

Some come, some go.

Emre moved to Newcastle for €6 million; Dalma's €2 million transfer to Racing Santander; Pandev, as Pizarro's addition, was sold half of his ownership to Udinese; Van der Meyde, Koko, Caragounis and Carini have all gone out on loan if they haven't found a buyer for the time being.

Vieri couldn't stand to be a substitute, he asked for a release, Inter agreed to his request, and he negotiated a contract with AC Milan to join on a free transfer.

AC Milan also bought Gilardino and Jankulovski, sold Tomasson and others.

Juventus did not invest much in transfers, buying the world's best defender Vieira for 20 million euros; €4.5 million to buy half ownership of Chiellini, which could be one of their best transfer moves in recent years; Also brought in Mickoli, Gianni Keda, Robert. Kovacs, Abbiati and other veterans.

Fiorentina bought Tony, which was a small supplement. Parma, Lazio and Roma lost blood.

From these transfers, it can be seen that Serie A is really in decline, willing to spend money, and there are fewer and fewer teams with money to spend......

All the giants in Europe are strengthening and gearing up for the Champions League in the new season.

Manchester United have brought in Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Ji-Sung Park and Edwin van der Sar, but the most important question they have to solve is who should be the attacking heart of the team between the veteran Ruud van Nistelrooy and the newly rising Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

Needless to say, Real Madrid introduced Ronaldo, Robinho, Baptista, who scored 20+ goals in Sevilla for two consecutive seasons, Sevilla defender Ramos, and Cassano from Roma...... They will be the favourites in this year's Champions League.

Liverpool, Chelsea and others have also made big moves.

Every year, the transfer market is so exciting that you can write a thick book.

By mid-August, Inter Milan had basically been integrated, the new signings were basically in place, and the record in the warm-up matches was also very good.

They are about to face the first exam of the new season, the Italian Super Cup.
