Chen Xi's appearance was an unprecedented success!

It is said that in the afternoon of the same day, Inter Milan's major fan stores in Milan were sold out of Chen Xi's jersey, and the staff in the area where the jersey was purchased became the busiest personnel!

Moratti seemed to be very happy to see such a crazy situation, and the next day, he arranged the appearance of Mourinho, the new manager of Inter Milan!

The coach's sentence at the press conference: "I came to Meacha to win the championship!" "Let people feel his mad nature!

But Inter fans are crazy about this sentence!

The self-confidence of Chen Xi and Mourinho has deeply infected the Nerazzurri fans, and they have never felt so close to the championship for more than ten years!

After that, Chen Xi also had a meeting with Mourinho. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because they showed their respect for each other before joining, the two were very happy to meet!

After private contact, Chen Xi also knew that Mourinho was not as domineering as he usually faced reporters.

At least, Chen Xi thinks Mourinho is a very good friend. His thinking may be different from ordinary people, but Chen Xi, as a traverser, can feel his intelligence and wisdom!

At the same time, Mourinho's understanding of Chen Xi also made him feel incredible. Because he doesn't even feel like he knows himself as well as Mourinho! Looks like he's studied himself thoroughly!

This also let Chen Xi know that it is no accident that this madman coach has achieved unprecedented achievements in later generations!

After finalizing Chen Xi and Mourinho, the transfer of Inter Milan is still in full swing!

After an exchange with Jose Mourinho, Blanca went on to make a number of transfers that he had already finalised.

He first used his own means to bring Argentine midfielder Cambiasso from Real Madrid for free.

Then he used his relationship to sign Davies, a Dutch wild boar who was unhappy with his old club Juventus because of contract problems!

Coupled with the signing of two veterans in the back line from Lazio, Mihajlovic and Favali, the depth of the substitution at the back has been supplemented!

All four players are strong players in Europe's top leagues, but they combined cost Inter Milan less than 10 million euros.

In addition to the signings, Blanca has not relaxed the pace of slimming down the bloated Inter Milan first-team squad.

Okan, Brechet, Dalma, Cuarón, Helwig, Algreat, Ramucci and other players who were not in Mourinho's plans were sold by Blanca.

They may not have brought much transfer fee to Inter Milan, but they have relieved Inter Milan of a lot of pressure in terms of salary expenses! You must know that Moratti is notoriously generous in the salary of the players, and these players who are difficult to play the main team at Inter Milan have taken the salary of the main players of the average team, which is a big burden on Inter Milan's finances.

In terms of finance, we pay attention to "opening up sources and reducing expenditures", and it is not enough to make money, but also to reduce unnecessary expenses. Blanca clearly knows this better than the previous transfer executives!

After tackling some of the signings he had planned for a long time, Blanca began to work hard to sign Mourinho's preferred player!

Before Mourinho arrived at Inter Milan, he said that he wanted to bring two or three players to Inter Milan with his old club Porto.

Moratti also agreed to his request!

In fact, it's normal for a coach to go to a new place and ask to bring his old subordinates!

Mourinho's first target is Portugal international Carvalho for Porto!

The centre-back, who was one of the best performers in last season's European Champions Cup, has been the target of competition from Europe's biggest clubs this summer.

You know, in today's football, a good defensive player is more rare than a good offensive player!

Therefore, in the transfer market, excellent defenders either don't transfer, and a transfer is often worth a lot!

Now, the teams interested in Carvalho include teams such as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona and Juventus.

However, Inter Milan also have their advantage, that is, Carvalho was almost single-handedly picked up by Mourinho and has the grace to know him.

So, in private, Mourinho and Carvalho have reached an agreement. After signing Mourinho and Inter Milan, all he had to do was offer a price that would appeal to his former club Porto.

For the transfer of players, Porto coach Da Costa has also been mentally prepared for a long time. In fact, because of the club's debt problems, he also hopes that some of the players in the team can be sold for a good price.

There is no doubt that Carvalho is a player who can be sold for a good price in his opinion!

Coupled with the fact that Carvalho has Real Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan competing here, Da Costa, a businessman, naturally wants to make a good profit!

Mourinho wants to get Carvalho, firstly because he understands the defensive strength of this old department, and secondly, because Inter Milan's defence does have certain problems. Although Materazzi and Cannavaro are central defenders at the Italian national team level.

However, the two have not been able to spark at the club, especially Cannavaro, whose performances for the national team and club are often judged by the two.

People have already decided that he is not accustomed to Inter Milan, and he himself is not happy at Inter Milan and wants to leave. In this way, it means that Inter Milan need to add a world-class central defender.

Therefore, Mourinho is bound to win against Carvalho!

For Chelsea, as Desailly ages, Galla is more of a full-back and they also need a strong centre-back to form a defensive partnership with John Terry.

Abu attaches great importance to the name of the player, and Carvalho, who was the best centre-back in the Champions League last season, is naturally famous enough, so he is also very eager to get the Portuguese!

As for Real Madrid, it goes without saying that fools know that they have problems at the back. While Florentino still has his sights set on the midfield superstar, he knows he needs to complement his defence.

In this way, the three clubs have become rivals again.

Chelsea and Real Madrid, who had previously lost consecutive defeats in the competition for Chen Xi and Mourinho, spared no effort in the competition for Carvalho.

The offer for Carvalho kept rising under da Costa's smiling eyes.

Carvalho was soon worth more than £25 million!

Truth be told, it's already a big risk to spend so much money on a defender who hasn't proven himself in Europe's top leagues.

The three clubs became cautious when they reached this price point.

With the stalemate in the offers, the player's personal will becomes extremely important.

After seeing Inter Milan's sincerity and the call of his mentor Mourinho, Carvalho stood up and publicly expressed his desire to join Inter Milan.

In this way, Inter Milan has the initiative!

Real Madrid and Chelsea also seem to realize that the twisted melon is not sweet, so the enthusiasm for buying is relatively weakened.

In the end, Inter Milan got their wish for £25.5 million to get the best central defender last season!

However, with the addition of Carvalho, the position of Italian national team captain Cannavaro at Inter Milan has become more awkward.

Caravaro's transfer news appears in the sports press almost every day.

Cannavaro has been linked to Real Madrid and Juventus.

Real Madrid are a bit of a rush to the doctor, and as long as there are some well-known defenders, they will show interest.

As for Juventus, they also have their own ambitions, which is to put together a set of Italian national team backline.

Now that they have the main players of the Italian national team such as Gianluigi Buffon and Zambrotta, plus world-class defenders such as Thuram and Ferrara, it can be said that Cannavaro is their last shortcoming!

Inter Milan did not give a clear answer as to Cannavaro's whereabouts. Because they are still busy replenishing the strength of the team.

After getting Carvalho, Mourinho set his sights on another of his old divisions, Pacos Ferreira.

Like Carvalho, Ferreira was the best full-back in the Champions League last season. Except for being blown up by Chen Xi in the finals, his performance at other times is world-class!

It's just that, like Carvalho, Ferreira also has a number of clubs to coax.

In this era, fullbacks are already in short supply, and Ferreira is naturally a strange commodity.

This time, Mourinho also thought that he could still get Ferreira by virtue of his connections in Porto.

However, the enthusiasm shown by other clubs has left Inter behind.

After the failure to buy Carvalho, Chelsea directly insured Ferreira for 18 million pounds at a time!

And Mourinho's valuation of his old ministry is only 15 million pounds at most!

In the end, after considering that Inter already had Zanetti as the best right-back in world football, Mourinho gave up on the fight for Ferreira.

And Chelsea finally got a win against Inter Milan!

There was nothing wrong with the right-back, with Mourinho setting his sights on the left-back position.

Although Blanca brought in a powerful left-back Favali from Lazio, Mourinho believes that Favalli is at best a powerful substitute, and there is still a certain distance from the main left-back he requested!

Mourinho once set his sights on England's Ashley Cole!

It's a pity that Professor Arsene Wenger does not intend to sell this academy product that has been called "the world's No. 1 left-back" by the English!

Ashley Cole also has little interest in leaving the Premier League. After all, there have been too few examples of English players playing in other leagues before that!

As a result, Mourinho had to search within Italy.

Mourinho's vision is very high, and Mourinho has also promised him a sufficient transfer budget, so he is interested in powerful players!

This time, he has his eye on Juventus' Zambrotta!

Zambrotta is a player with the surname of the wing corridor, he can play on the left and right wings, and can play both full-back and full-back positions, and his strength is very comprehensive.

What's more, he's not like the average jack-of-all-trades player, with average strength and no character. On the contrary, his defensive and assist abilities are world-class!

It's just that getting the world-class left wing-back in the hands of arch-rivals Juventus is just as difficult as wanting Ashley Cole to play abroad.

However, Mourinho did not give up.

Because he noticed that Juventus had also expressed interest in Inter Milan's centre-back Cannavaro.

Cannavaro has not performed well at Inter Milan, but given his performance in the national team and the fact that Juventus has Gianluigi Buffon, Ferrara and Thuram, who have worked with Cannavaro during his time at Parma, he has little problem succeeding at Juventus.

Therefore, Juventus' Cannavaro has also shown enough interest.

Back then, Inter Milan spent more than 20 million yuan when they bought Cannavaro. Although his performance in Inter Milan in recent seasons has not been good, his performance in the national team can at least ensure that his value does not overlap too much.

Juventus, on the other hand, only spent 8 million euros when they bought Zambrotta in Bari, and now although their value has increased greatly, they are basically on par with Cannavaro.

In this way, it also marks the possibility of a player-to-player trade between the two teams.

Of course, compared to Inter Milan's willingness to sell Cannavaro, Juventus is not as good as letting go of Zambrotta, whose team has played very consistently. All of this requires Blanca to deal with Moggie's old fox.

After putting down the backline for a while, Mourinho set his sights on the midfield!

Jose Mourinho's habit is to have three midfielders, and those three midfielders need to be good both offensively and defensively.

Now in the Inter Milan team, Stankovic is good both offensively and defensively, and new signings Davis and Cambiaso are more defensive. In addition, Inter Milan also have a number of defensive players in midfield.

Mourinho, however, felt that the team was missing a commander-like figure. Of course, in Mourinho's opinion, this commander had better be able to attack and defend well!

Therefore, he set his sights on his old club Deco again!

Although Deco was used as a striker in Porto in the first two seasons, he showed good defensive interception ability, so he was very much in line with Mourinho's requirements!

It's just that, compared to Carvalho, the relationship between Mourinho and Deco is not so close.

What's more, Deco is also very popular in European football, and he also has a common problem of Brazilian players, that is, greed for money!

Before Inter Milan, Barcelona had already made the first move, and Laporta had reached an agreement with Deco privately and gave his agent a certain benefit fee.

In addition, the style of La Liga and the Portuguese league is more similar, so Deco himself is already inclined to Barcelona.

Despite his efforts, Blanca was unable to snatch Deco from Laporta.

Without getting Deco, Blanca offered Deco the option of buying the frustrated Argentine white wizard Veron from Chelsea.

However, Mourinho thinks Veron's defensive ability is not up to his requirements!

Yes, Veron's playmaking ability is unquestionable, but he also doesn't like to defend like the average classic midfielder. This is unacceptable for the defensive-minded Mourinho!

Mourinho then set his sights on Roma's midfielder Emerson.

The Brazilian is solid defensively and can occasionally contribute in attack, which is similar to Mourinho's requirements!

However, in Emerson's bid, Mourinho met another opponent, and that was Juventus.

Moggi has a network of connections in Serie A that Mourinho and Blanca are hard to match, and more importantly, Juventus is coached by Fabio Capello, Emerson's mentor during his time at Rome.

There was no suspense that Inter Milan lost again in the race for Emerson!

It's just that this time with Juventus to compete for Emerson, Inter Milan is not for nothing.

When the two families competed for Emerson, an agreement was reached that there would be no malicious price increases. The condition is that Moggi agrees to negotiate with Inter Milan on a deal exchanged for Zambrotta and Cannavaro!

This is obviously good news for the Inter Milan team.

After all, in the midfield position of Inter Milan, the players can be said to be full of talent. Even if you don't take supplements, you can basically meet Mourinho's requirements.

But at the back, the defensive-minded Mourinho does not allow for any loopholes, and if the left-back position can be supplemented, he will have a near-perfect backline.

While Blanca and Moggi were in intense talks over a deal for Cannavaro and Zambrotta, Mourinho set his sights on the forward line again.

Inter Milan's forward line can be said to be the most luxurious position of the team, the team has Vieri and Adriano two world-class center forwards, and Cruise is also a powerful center forward, known as a super substitute by national fans!

In addition to this, the team also has Recoba and Ventola, who returned from loan.

Chen Xi is also nominally closer to a winger, and his cameo appearance as a central striker at the European Championships in England also proves that he can play as a central striker if needed!

Therefore, Inter Milan do not need to buy strikers anymore.

However, Mourinho would like to be able to complement him as a winger.

Mourinho's best lineup is four-three-three, although this is a full attacking lineup, but in the case of his three midfielders who can attack and defend well, the defensive ability of such a formation will not be bad.

A four-three-three formation means he needs at least two good wingers.

Now he has Chen Xi, in addition, players such as Recoba and Emre can play the position of winger. It stands to reason that there is no problem.

However, Mourinho still set his sights on Robben, the most concerned young winger in the transfer market in today's European football, in addition to Chen Xi!

Arjen Robben's performance at this year's Euros was perfect, and if Advocaat hadn't replaced him at the wrong time on several occasions, he would have done even better!

As a result, Arjen Robben has also become the hottest player in European football this year.

Of course, such a talented player is naturally indispensable for suitors.

Liverpool want to buy him to replace Chen Xi.

Chelsea are also hoping that he can form magical wings with Duff.

Manchester United's Alex Ferguson is also hoping to make Robben at Old Trafford a successor to Ryan Giggs.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, used Arjen Robben as a replacement for Chen Xi, and after Chen Xi joined Inter Milan, they hoped to get the Dutch Peter Pan.

Real Madrid's sworn rivals Barcelona are also hoping to get one of the two wingers, Arjen Robben and Giuli!

…… It can be said that almost all teams with winger tactics want to get the young Dutchman!

Relatively speaking, Inter Milan's Serie A is not very suitable for a winger like Robben to survive.

Robben himself is obviously aware of this, so he said in an interview that he does not plan to play in Serie A for the time being, and is relatively inclined to La Liga and the Premier League.

In this way, it is basically cut off from Inter Milan to get his possible surname.

Inter Milan, who had staged several crazy transfers in the transfer market before, had a few closed doors in a row.

It also makes people realise that Serie A is gradually becoming less attractive to players, while La Liga and the Premier League are gradually catching up.

After successive defeats in the acquisition of midfielders, Mourinho also calmed down and slowly searched for prey.

It's the end of July, and there's still a month left for him to transfer. But the preparations for the new season have already begun.

On the 30th of July, Italy's famous TIM Cup triangular tournament is about to begin.

The TIM Cup is a summer warm-up match between the traditional three Serie A finalists organised by Tim Telecom, and is usually the first real warm-up between the three teams after the start of the summer training camp.

Although this is just a warm-up cup competition, Mourinho takes it very seriously, considering the opponents of the game. Because he knows that if he wants to be able to gain the trust of the fans quickly.

This direct conversation with the two league title rivals is the best chance to prove yourself!

Therefore, Mourinho also temporarily lost the transfer problem to Blanca and began to gather the team to prepare for the game.

Chen Xi also arrived at the Angelo Moratti Sports Center on time on the day of the team's training camp, where he had his first meeting with most of his teammates.

When his teammates arrived, Chen Xi was taken aback.

According to his eye, there are at least 30 players in the team's first team!

You know, this is after purging a series of players. This also made Chen Xi sigh that Inter Milan's slimming action can be described as a long way to go!

At the Angelo Moratti Sports Complex, Chen Xi and several new signings, including head coach Jose Mourinho, introduced themselves.

Mourinho did not say like Chen Xi did when he joined Chelsea: "I am the European champion, and you are nothing!" ”

But his opening remarks were also full of confidence: "My name is Mourinho, I'm here to lead the team to the championship!" If you want to win the championship, just play according to my deployment! If you don't want to win the championship, you can sit on the bench honestly for me, and the salary will not be less than your penny! ”

Although Mourinho's words were very impulsive, they aroused the desire of most players in Inter Milan for the championship!

Yes, for some players who have played for Inter Milan for many years, they may have never tasted the taste of the championship, or they may have forgotten what it is like to win the championship!

A player who doesn't want to win a championship is not a good player!

Obviously, to be able to play at a big club like Inter Milan, most of them are good players. That's why they're hungry for a first prize!

Therefore, Mourinho's words not only did not cause disgust among the players, but resonated with most of the players. Of course, some old fritters who are ready to mess around are exceptions.

Jose Mourinho doesn't care what the players think, he just needs the players in his plan to think about it!

What pleased him was that some of the main players in his mind and the main substitutes had a desire for the championship in their eyes!

Just have a thirst for the championship!

If they don't even have a longing, God can't save them!

Mourinho thought to himself!

Chen Xi's self-introduction is decent, but as the world's No. 1 and first-year salary to join the team, he will inevitably suffer some hostile eyes.

Among them, Van der Meyde, who was "snatched" by Chen Xi from the No. 7 jersey, was the most obvious.

Feeling Van der Meyde's hostility, Chen Xi also knew that Blanca's so-called Van der Meyde's "voluntary" surrender of the No. 7 jersey was definitely just a scene.

It is estimated that the club put pressure on Van der Meyde, who is gradually reduced to a marginal player, to "voluntarily" give up his shirt!

Although this was not Chen Xi's original intention, Chen Xi did not feel guilty about Van der Meyde because of this.

In his opinion, the football field has always relied on strength to speak, if Van der Meyde really has the strength and is very important to the Inter Milan team, Inter Milan will naturally not force him to give up the No. 7 shirt.

If you don't have the strength, then why do you occupy this good number?

Since he didn't look at himself right, Chen Xi didn't bother to please him. He wants to be good friends with all his teammates, but he also knows it's impossible. Therefore, as long as it does not affect his performance on the court, whether he is a friend off the court or not, Chen Xi doesn't care!

There are hostile, naturally there are friendly!

In addition to the captain Zanetti who gave Chen Xi a warm welcome, Inter Milan's two major center forwards, Vieri and Adriano, also treated Chen Xi well.

Maybe they took a fancy to Chen Xi's excellent assist ability, but Chen Xi didn't care about this, people valued him, which means that he at least has some use value.

The saddest thing about people is that they don't even have use value!

Once the squad has been assembled, all Mourinho has to do is get his squad in shape in just a few days and then go to the TIM Cup in a few days' time.

For Mourinho and Chen Xi, this triwizard tournament is the best opportunity to prove himself!
