When the whole European football scene is in a period of recuperation, the TIM Cup, which has the top three Serie A teams to participate, has naturally become the focus of media attention.

Of course, what attracts the attention of the media more is the debut of Chen Xi, the most valuable person in world football, in Meacha!

As a result, Chen Xi did not disappoint the people who supported him, in 90 minutes and two quarters of the game, he sent three goals and two assists!

It can be said that he almost single-handedly helped Inter Milan knock out Juventus and AC Milan successively!

As a result, the European media issued a voice of praise...... "In the face of Juventus and AC Milan, two sworn enemies, Inter Milan announced its return with two complete victories!" Edison, the most expensive man in world football, used a 90-minute hat-trick to silence those who questioned him! His performance...... Worthy of his worth! Of course, Mourinho's quick control of Inter Milan, the most difficult team, also reflects his ability as the highest-paid manager in world football! The combination of Edison and Mourinho had a perfect result on their debut in Meazza! ”

As the local media of the city of Milan, "Milan Sport" sang "a hymn to loyalty"!

'Against two big opponents, three goals and two assists. Edison didn't seem to have a problem adapting at all! He has quickly become the heart of Inter's attack! The curse of England's struggles to succeed in Serie A may soon be broken. Those who say that Moratti spent the first price in world football to sign Edison is wronged, can shut up! This may be a more successful signing than Moratti's signing of alien Ronaldo! ”

Although Chen Xi has left the Premier League, "Every Telegraph" still does not forget to pay close attention to Chen Xi's performance. They also spoke highly of Chen Xi's performance for the first time!

In addition to these two media, other media also praised Inter Milan and Chen Xi's outstanding performance.

Adriano, Vieriga Edison, the Nerazzurri have the most terrifying strikers in European football.

"Jose Mourinho's debut wins twice, young coach makes Carlo Ancelotti and Capello bow down"

"Edison is perfect, the Nerazzurri find the true core"

"Moratti is very satisfied with the team's performance, and said that this year's Inter Milan recruitment work is not over"

Adriano: I love playing with Edison, his assists make it easier for me to score! 》

…… Of course, in the midst of all the praise, it is inevitable that some people will come out and speak out against it.

As the mouthpiece of Inter Milan's rival team, Torino Sport said: "The TIM Cup match is just a simple warm-up match, and winning the game is not convincing. Inter Milan had also won the TIM Cup two years earlier, but when it came to the league, they still had a poor performance. Therefore, to really make an evaluation, you need to wait until the league starts! ”

There are also some Italian media who have a sour grape mentality and agree with the opinion of "Turin Sport". They believe that Inter Milan's performance of only 90 minutes does not mean that they have really made a qualitative leap, and the real test is still in the league and Champions League in the new season!

…… Chen Xi doesn't care about the media's pursuit or questioning.

In his opinion, only his own good performance is king. That way, those who question themselves will keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, if he doesn't perform well, those media who pursue him will definitely change their faces faster than women! ――

After the TIM Cup, Inter Milan will have a few days of rest before a series of warm-up matches.

While Chen Xi and his teammates are training honestly these days, making tactical preparations and physical reserves for the new season, the club's operation in the transfer market is still not over.

During the TIM Cup, Blanca met Moggie. The two discussed at length about the Cannavaro and Zambrotta deals.

Moggie's attitude was that he wanted to get Cannavaro in the form of a cash purchase and did not want to use Zambrotta as a bargaining chip.

However, Blanca also showed great determination, except for the exchange of Zambrotta, otherwise Cannavaro's affairs are not discussed. He is not willing to increase the strength of Juventus' opponent without getting any benefits.

At the same time, Blanca also took the opportunity to reveal to Moggi that some big clubs, including Real Madrid, are also interested in Cannavaro, so Cannavaro doesn't worry about buyers at all!

Considering the poor performance of the Juventus defense in this TIM Cup, Moggi is also eager to supplement the team's backline. And Capello himself expressed his desire to be able to get Cannavaro.

Only, if you want to lose Zambrotta in order to get Cannavaro. Moji felt a little risky. After all, Zambrotta's performance at Juventus has been very consistent, but it is unknown whether Cannavaro will be able to play at his peak when he arrives at Juventus.

Therefore, Moggie did not give an answer during this meeting, but said to continue to think about it.

Blanca didn't wait for Moggie's reply, and instead started some acquisitions in other positions.

First of all, he brought in the powerful right-back Zemaria from Perugia for 1.7 million euros plus half ownership of the young player Fosani.

In this way, captain Zanetti also has a reliable replacement. Moreover, once Zanetti is brought up in midfield by Mourinho, Zemaria can also be very good at right-back!

It's another transfer with a small investment, which also reflects Blanca's ability to do big things with little money!

In the absence of a reply to Zambrotta's transfer, Blanca also set his sights on Udinese's Czech player Jankulovski.

Jankulovski, like Zambrotta, is a left-sided corridor type who can play at left-back and left-midfield.

In his two seasons at Udinese, he not only defended well, but also contributed consistent goals in each season, and was one of the best left-sided players in Serie A!

However, AC Milan, Inter Milan's rival in the same city, also hopes to get this Czech player to become Maldini's successor!

Therefore, in the battle for Yankulovsky, there is also no small difficulty!

After all, in this era, AC Milan, who have won the Champions League and league titles in recent years, has a full lineup, and is more appealing than Inter Milan, known as the black hole of stars.

Even so, Blanca sent an offer to Udinese on behalf of Inter. It is also using this to put pressure on Moji.

The Udinese team, which relies on cultivating stars by itself all year round, and then selling them at a high price to make a profit as a way to survive, naturally wants to take the opportunity to raise the price when its players have a number of giants to compete.

Therefore, in the scramble for Yankulovsky, there was also a tug-of-war.

New signings at left-back are up in the air, with Blanca adding to the centre-back position that could be lost to Cannavaro. Burdisso, a young Argentine centre-back and known as Samuel's successor, joined Inter Milan for five million euros.

In this way, even if Cannavaro is lost, Inter Milan still has Materazzi, Carvalho, Mihajlovic, Córdoba and Burdisso in the central defensive position. With the addition of Pasquela, who was promoted from the youth team, such a lineup is enough to cope with multi-front operations.

In fact, Burdisso's joining also indicates the inevitable departure of Cannavaro in the eyes of the outside world!

In the midfield position, when the introduction of Deco failed and he couldn't look down on the white wizard Veron, Mourinho set his sights on Chen Xi's teammate Xavi Alonso in Liverpool!

The young Spanish midfielder not only showed excellent defensive ability for the Reds last season, but also his long-pass playmaking ability, which is quite a bit of Barcelona's traditional No.4 style.

He basically fits Mourinho's conditions for both defending and attacking at the same time!

It's a pity that Liverpool has no interest in selling Xavi Alonso after selling Chen Xi and Owen and Gerrard are also targeted by other giants.

Although Chen Xi also hopes to get together with this old teammate in Meacha, he is also unwilling to openly dig into the corners of his old club. He didn't want it to affect his relationship with the Liverpool fans.

Xavi Alonso also revealed some thoughts about wanting to get together with Chen Xi, but after feeling the pressure from the club, he changed his story. said that he never thought about leaving Liverpool, nor did he want to play in Italy!

In this way, Inter Milan once again failed in the recruitment of the midfield position that Mourinho cared about the most!

The continuous deflated food also made Mourinho simply give up this idea.

In his opinion, Stankovic in the team is also good at offense and defense, which basically meets his requirements. It's rare for him to be reluctant to go far.

So his goal turned to buying a beast waist that could provide protection to the midfield!

Inter Milan now have Cambiasso, Davies and Zanetti in the central midfield position, and Zanetti can also play in that position.

But Mourinho still feels that this thickness is not enough!

With this goal in mind, Mourinho has set his sights on Ligue 1, which is rich in excellent midfielders.

Two of the best defenders in world football, Patrick Vieira and Claude Makelele, are both born in Ligue 1.

In recent seasons, there have also been a number of black defenders who have attracted the attention of giants in Ligue 1.

Sissoko, who has moved to Valencia, Keita, who still plays in Ligue 1, Essien and several Diarra are all targets in the eyes of European giants!

Mourinho's target this time is precisely the two big midfielders from Ligue 1 supremacy Lyon, Mohamed Diarra and Michael Essien.

The two African beasts teamed up to block a fence in Lyon's midfield, making Lyon the best defensive team in Ligue 1 for the past two seasons!

Both of them are also the sweethearts of the European football transfer market!

Among them, Diarra has attracted the attention of giant teams, including Real Madrid, because of his comprehensive performance in Lyon in two seasons!

However, Lyon's owner, Mitchell Aolas, is also a well-known vampire in European football.

He is good at using the players cultivated by his team to make a fortune, which is also his way of survival.

Therefore, the Lyon club has also gained the nickname of "sales club" in China, and the French media have believed that this French league hegemon does not seek to improve, inhibiting the overall development of the French league!

This does not prevent Aulas from making money by buying and selling players!

No, when Inter Milan made a request to the Lyon club for the purchase of Mohamed Diarra.

Olas directly opened his mouth and quoted a sky-high price of 35 million euros!

This surprised Blanca, knowing that Makelele and Vieira are only worth this amount!

Considering that there is still a strong rival in the race for Diarra, Real Madrid, Blanca turned to Essien instead.

Compared with Diarra, who has been with Lyon for two seasons, Essien, who just moved to Lyon last season, can only be regarded as a debutante. There are also fewer clubs that pay attention to him.

Aulas's offer is also more polite, but it still reaches the price of 25 million euros!

This is also because Essien's performance last season was not particularly good, and if it had been a season later, he would have been worth more than Diarra. Because in the 04-05 season, he shined in the Champions League and became the French Footballer of the Year. In the end, he went to Chelsea and broke the transfer value of African players, reaching more than 24 million pounds!

Essien hasn't been so impressive this summer, just a young player who was bought by Lyon last summer for less than eight million euros. A year later, the price had doubled, and Olas was naturally happy to make such a deal.

After some haggling, Essien's worth is locked at 18 million euros!

In today's European football, where excellent midfielders are hard to find, the price of 18 million is not too high. But Inter Milan got a satisfactory midfielder, while Lyon earned 10 million euros in one season, which can be said to be a big happy thing!

As a result, Inter Milan's investment in the transfer market this summer, even if you count the funds recovered through the sale of some players, has reached 140 million euros!

Even Abu, who has been spending money on the transfer market this summer, is not so crazy.

Although Chen Xi alone accounts for most of the value, people still see Moratti's courage to give it a go!

In the backline, midfielder and winger positions, there has been a lot of investment, in addition, a large number of quality players are also being added. Inter Milan have shown excellent efficiency in the transfer market this summer!

After getting Essien, Mourinho's formation was basically formed, and in the end, only the left-back position was missing!

With little progress on Jankulovski's side, Blanca approached Moggi once again to discuss a deal between Cannavaro and Zambrotta.

In this conversation, Blanca showed full sincerity. Originally, in terms of the transfer value of Cannavaro and Zambrotta, Cannavaro was still slightly higher.

However, Blanca agreed to add a strong player to this deal, that is, Karagunis, who created a miracle for Greece at this year's European Championship and reached the knockout rounds.

Although it is difficult for Karagounis to shake the two wings occupied by Nedved and Camoranesi, he can be an important substitute in midfield!

You know, just because of Karagunis's outstanding performance in this year's European Championship, his worth can reach nearly 10 million euros!

Moggi may not necessarily be interested in Calagounis, but the very sincere concession made by Inter Milan still makes him a little tempted.

Although Zambrotta has been a regular at Juventus' left-back, there are two former international-level substitutes in Billindeli and Pesoto.

It can be said that the impact of Zambrotta's departure is still slightly lower than the benefits of Cannavaro's joining.

Plus a Karagunis worth nearly 10 million...... It's hard for Moji to refuse.

Of course, the old fox Moggie also thought about pursuing greater interests, but Blanca stubbornly guarded this bottom line!

After three days of negotiations, the deal that is destined to shake the Serie A arena has officially been decided!

Cannavaro and Caragunis in exchange for Zambrotta!

The news appeared on the official websites of Inter Milan and Juventus the next day!

As the two main parties to the deal, Cannavaro and Zambrotta were also mentally prepared before, and the two parties were not very reluctant to deal with it, otherwise the negotiations would not have been able to continue.

Only the addition of Karagunis was the last to learn about the news, and after a strong performance at this year's European Championships, the Greek midfielder, who was set to make a big impact in the new season, felt insulted!

The Greeks' resistance to the deal almost interrupted the deal.

Fortunately, after the negotiation between Juventus and Inter Milan and him, plus the guarantee of his personal treatment, Karagunis's complaints stopped!

The arrival of Cannavaro has successfully addressed Capello's fears of a centre-back combination. Juventus' lineup is luxurious!

And with Zambrotta and Inter Milan officially signing a contract, the last shortcoming of Mourinho's team has been filled!

It's a win-win deal, so to speak!

After getting Zambrotta, Moratti also announced that Inter Milan's recruitment work this summer is officially over!

This summer, Inter Milan have acquired the likes of Chen Xi, Carvalho, Essien, Zambrotta, Davies, Cambiasso, Burdisso, Mihajlovic, Favalli and Zemaria.

At the same time, a group of players with high salaries but not in Mourinho's plans were also purged.

This has made Inter Milan's squad streamlined to a certain extent, and the overall strength has also been improved!

What Mourinho has to do is to pinch the team that makes up a third of the new players into one before the season officially starts!

…… Attached is Inter Milan's lineup:

Goalkeepers: Toldo, Fontana, CodazDefenders: Zanetti, Zemaria, Córdoba, Mihajlovic, Materazzi, Carvalho, Burdisso, Favali, Zambrotta, Koko (injured), Pasqueira Midfielders: Cambiasso, Davies, Essien, Zanetti, Emre, Kili Gonzalez, Stankovic, Van der Meyde, Chen Xi Forwards: Adriano, Vieri, Cruz, Recoba, Martins
