Chapter 64: Not Bad Money
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and people always have a special interest in private things. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Inter Milan has not won any major awards over the years, but there is a lot of investment in the transfer market, and in terms of coaches, it is basically a change of one a year, which is quite a lot of money no matter how you look at it, and Inter Milan's financial situation is not good.
In fact, there is hardly any club that can be said to break even in this era, and judging from Momo's transfer path, whether it is Hannover 96 or Munich 1860, their financial situation is a large deficit.
The economic situation of Juventus, Bayern Munich and other teams is also very bad, among which Juventus still needs to pay in installments to buy Ibrahimovic, which cannot be paid in a lump sum, which also makes Ibrahimovic's transfer negotiations at that time deadlocked.
And Chelsea ??? Of course, the finances are not good! Didn't you see that Ibrahimovic was all in charge? If it weren't for Ibrahimovic taking over Chelsea, Chelsea would not have gone bankrupt now.
The dismissed president of Inter Milan certainly knows a lot about the financial aspects, and after his words, most of Inter Milan's loyal fans can't help but recognize a real problem.
Assuming that Inter Milan needs 80 million euros to pay off their debts, then it is enough to sell one Momo, and if other players are sold, then it will be in a very awkward situation, the depth of the team's bench may be greatly reduced, and the overall strength will be reduced.
But what if you only sell Momo? The front line is still strong, but there is one less Momo! You can still score goals, you can win, isn't that how you did in the previous games?
Under such thoughts, people suddenly realized that Momo can indeed be sold!
In such a situation, Moratti stepped up and said, "Not bad money." "Are we short of money at Inter Milan???
And it was only at this time that everyone realized that indeed, what the big guy said made sense, at least from a business point of view, but would Moratti feel sorry for this money for Inter Milan? If nothing else, let's just talk about one thing.
In the original history, during the Moratti period, the cost of changing more than a dozen managers (such as firing Mancini and bringing in Mourinho, the cost of changing coaches was close to 100 million euros) was more than 80 million euros.
Take a look at Moratti's investment in the transfer market, and there is no more to say. In 1999, Moratti invested a full 133 million !!!
Will Moratti sell Momo? It's a joke, is Moratti's affection for Inter Milan measured in terms of money?
800 million euros, that's a staggering number. What's even more amazing is that Moratti is actually not very rich! Moratti, yes
Moratti is part of the Salas Oil Company. But he is not the number one boss of this company, the real boss is his brother.
In fact, even if Moratti owns all of Salas's property, the sum of Salas's share price is less than 10 billion euros.
According to a report by an Italian financial magazine, Moratti's personal assets (including real estate) are around 2 billion euros. Under this premise, Moratti can invest nearly half of his belongings in football, that is, a full 1 billion euros to invest in football.
But please note that this billion euros, isn't there only so much, just like wages, you have a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, do you have 10,000 yuan a year? This is obviously impossible, Moratti's investment is endless, you know, now for a period of time, the wages of Inter Milan players are still paid by Moratti!
Although on the surface, those people's analysis is not wrong, and selling Momo is a good choice, there is one thing that is not noticed, that is, Momo is young and can be used for a long time, and the tactical tacit understanding of Inter Milan during this period of time can be achieved.
A new player needs time to integrate into the team, and Momo, a player who was supposed to play in the youth team, is simply cultivated since childhood, Moratti no longer plans to change coaches, and even Martins is also an option for Moratti to cultivate.
Buying Momo was actually an Abramovich-style gamble, but it's worth noting that Moratti didn't have such a big gamble?
Although he is not as financially rich as Abramovich, Moratti has also had an Abu-style gamble.
In 1999, Moratti brought in legendary coach Lippi and started his own championship gamble. In 1999, Inter spent 133 million euros to buy world-class stars;
In 2000, Inter spent 82.5 million; In 2001, Lippi stepped down, and Moratti took out another 70.5 million to acquire the star. Nearly 300 million in 3 years, such an investment is not inferior to Real Madrid and Manchester City today. Unfortunately, these gambles were not successful, and Inter Milan finished fourth, fifth and third in the league in these three seasons.
After Moratti's huge investment for many years and unable to get the return he deserves, Moratti spent the most painful time since he came to Inter.
In 2004, disappointed Inter fans took to the streets and held up banners: ", Moratti, you are an Inter sinner." "This scene turned everyone's memory upside down. Didn't the fans call Moratti back? Why did a person who went bankrupt for Inter Milan end up being the target of fan bombardment? Fans can vent their grievances on Moratti, but who can Moratti turn to?
In moments like these, Moratti did not give up. Although he resigned as chairman, he continued to invest in Inter as a major shareholder. For dreams, for love, to bear this grievance.
Inter Milan is like Moratti's child, when the child loses his temper, he tolerates him, and when he is needed, he will come out.
When the fired guy wanted to sell Momo, Moratti stood up, it was impossible to sacrifice Momo for his political achievements, what the guy said was right, it would indeed be much better to sell Momo Inter Milan's finances, but the problem is that Moratti belongs to the kind of people who are willing to give everything they have to make Inter Milan better.
If you look at it from this point of view, Momo is obviously more in line with Inter Milan's requirements, and it is precisely because of this consideration that Moratti immediately made a decision and directly dismissed the chairman on duty.
Moratti can wait, he can endure, but when Inter Milan goes astray, Moratti will use thunderous tactics to restore order to everything.
What kind of team was Inter Milan before Moratti took over? In the 1993-94 season, Inter finished 13th in Serie A (with 18 teams at the time), just one step away from relegation.
At that time, Moratti decided to make Inter Milan a big international era, and now what Moratti has to do is to let Momo stop thinking and concentrate on playing.
Moratti has a grand plan, referred to as three steps, the first is to build a good forward line, the second is to stabilize the ball in the midfield, and the third is to build a solid back line. 80 million euros may not necessarily buy a good striker!
(In the future, we have to thank Juventus for the relegation, otherwise Inter Milan would not have been able to buy so many good players at one time and lay the foundation.) )
Originally, 2004 was the darkest era for Inter Milan in history, with a change of coach, unfamiliar players, Champions League exits, and the top three in the league could not be scored, and it was not until later that a good opportunity came.
In September 2006, Moratti took over as president of Inter Milan. The "phonegate" incident broke out, Juventus was ordered to be relegated to the second division, AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and other Serie A powerhouses were deducted points, Moratti took this opportunity to frequently offer large-scale player acquisitions, including helping Juventus win two consecutive championships in the 04-05 season and 05-06 season (both were stripped away, the 04-05 season championship was empty, and the 05-06 season championship was awarded to Inter Milan) Ibrahimovic and Vieira.
In the following season, Inter Milan won the Serie A title in Serie A, and Moratti was also proud, ready to lead Inter Milan back to the heights of its heyday.
However, how could Moratti now expect that Juventus and other strong teams would have phone doors in the future? (To be continued.) )
