This European Cup is actually very boring in Jiang Qi's opinion, not only the performance of several popular teams is disappointing, but also this cup is strangely full of the same mainstream, infighting!
After Portugal lost to the Greeks again in the final, the conflict between the golden generation and the Porto gang broke out, of course, this topic has been around for a long time, Figo has publicly stated that he doesn't like Deco, which has been there for a long time, and he was able to go all the way to the final, thanks to Scolari's skill.
Not to mention the Netherlands, which tournament will live up to the reputation of the big infighting team if it doesn't make news of infighting.
The French team is also a frequent visitor to the team that often breaks out contradictions within the team, but this time the team's shortcomings are too obvious, how can the grandfather-level guard line not be abandoned by the times.
As for the Italian team, it was originally also the favorite of this European Infighting Cup, when the Azzurri were beaten by the two Nordic teams in the final round of the group stage 2:2 in the final round of the group stage, and then a series of news broke out in the Italian team...... From Gattuso's bombardment of Trapattoni before the game, to AC Milan's exclusion, to Piero and Totti's mutual dissatisfaction, etc. Fortunately, under the beating of Lao Jiang's butterfly wings, there was no Gattuso bombarding the coach's headlines before the game, and the Italian team was still a group of harmony, the reason is very simple, AC Milan ended with a double championship season, and Pirlo was ranked among the best teams in the Champions League.
Also affected by the Dutch team, because of his outstanding performance in the second half of the league, Van Persie was recruited by coach Advocaat into the national team and became a pink national brand newcomer.
Coupled with Master Rui, who was moved by Lao Jiang's words, the only thing that the rookie coach could be interested in in the commentary seat was to see if the fate of these three teams could change.
The rest of the game was uneventful, Spain played a half-time goal to beat Russia, and it looked like the Iberian neighbors in this group had already locked up two qualifying places, and Jiang Qi looked at the slightly lazy play of the Spaniards on the pitch and knew that the fate of this team may not change until four years later.
The first round of Group B was even more uneventful, and the French team suddenly reversed England at the last moment, but it was England's own mistake that buried everything, did not score a penalty, and gave the opponent a penalty, which was not cured. The other two teams, Switzerland's current head coach is not Heathfield, the defensive stalwart of later generations is now without a shadow, and Croatia is in rapid decline after a brief success in the '98 World Cup.
On the third match day, it was finally the Italian team's turn to play, Pirlo, the best team in the Champions League, was pressed on the bench, and the forward line was still Bobo, who was in thin form, and the midfield was a combination of Zanetti and Perrotta, and the others were gorgeously ignored by the old coach Trapattoni...... Looking at Corradi, who was purely used to fill the bench, and Gilardino and Toni, who were blocked from the national team, Lao Jiang felt that Italy's exit was really self-inflicted.
Piero, Totti and Vieri took turns squandering good chances against Denmark and the two teams ended up with a goalless draw, and no one could have predicted that Italy's exit from the tournament would be paved from there.
However, even with such a performance of the national team, there are still people who sing praises, such as Moreno, the editor-in-chief of Roma Sport.
"When Italian football talents are scarce, veterans still carry the glory ...... of the Apennines", Moreno's example is that Italy and Denmark took the initiative in the game, but it is a pity that the national team competition has always been slow and cloudy, but this guy finally changed his words and finally revealed his true colors, "The giant team invested a lot, in order to pursue results and give up the training opportunity for local players, and used a large amount of money to smash the players who were polished overseas, so that the growth space of local young players was seriously compressed, Look at today's AC Milan, there are still a few Italians in the midfield and backfield as the main force, and Inter Milan in the same city uses foreign aid to make a big change in the midfield every year, and Juventus will try to introduce Lerotali after failure, I am afraid that they will also target overseas......"
"Looking at the list of the national team, it is not difficult to see that it is the Roma duo who have returned to rationality in recent years to provide a lot of talent for the national team. Otto, Favalli, Panucci, Fiore, Perrotta, Cassano, Corradi, Totti...... Although most of these players can only sit on the bench, they can be called by the veteran coach to contribute at any time......"
To put it simply, this review is under the banner of praising the national team, and the real purpose is to satirize the huge teams that invest a lot of money every year to crowd out the road to success of local players...... The first target is none other than Lao Jiang's AC Milan.
When the rookie coach saw this comment for the first time, he first pouted, and then his face gradually became solemn, and he suddenly remembered that because of the Italian team's fiasco in this European Cup, the Italian Football Association really considered the cultivation of local young players, so it was very strange to issue a rule, "All the 18-man squad registered for the team must have at least 9 local players!" ”
Jiang Qi is actually very resistant to this kind of mandatory measures, not for anything else, this is purely a numbers game, as long as there are transfer funds, it is meaningless to buy a few local bench players with a certain strength to make up the numbers. Of course, if the new policy is really introduced, the worst team is Inter Milan, although they have a lot of people selected for the national team this time, but in addition to Toldo, Materazzi and Cannavaro can play the main team, Zanetti is already a fringe player, Vieri is no longer Moratti's treasure, and even Cannavaro's unstable form makes him very likely to leave in the transfer period......
Thinking of this, Jiang Qi picked up the phone and dialed Gallliani, his intention is very simple, since the trend of public opinion has appeared, then it is best for him to lead, but since he wants to fight with Moreno, the old coach of the national team, Trapattoni, can't help it, this uncle is already a sieve in the eyes of Lao Jiang, and the purpose of contacting Galliani is mainly that this guy is not ready to offend people with his true face, so he wants the bald uncle to say hello to "Milan Sports Newspaper", after all, his uncle still has shares in it.
So, the next day, the front page of the Milan Sports Newspaper was headlined in large bold font, "Is it green and yellow, or is it wearing colored glasses?!" ”
Looking at this poisonous tongue article concocted by himself, Lao Jiang also scratched his head a little embarrassed, and secretly slandered himself, "The shot that this guy Gattuso should have fired is now replaced by me......"
