On August 10, in the third round of the Champions League qualifying round, Milan visited Belgrade to face the Red Star team. Milan won 1-0. Kaka scored the only goal, and Tang Jue and Ronnie came off the bench to no avail. The second leg will be played at the end of the month.

Champions League qualifying did not attract much media attention, and they paid a lot of attention to Serie A. The phone door attracts too many eyes.

The team's analysis of the new Serie A season: the impact of the phonegate on Serie A is far-reaching. A new pattern of Serie A has been formed, and Inter will stand out. Juventus was relegated, Milan deducted fifteen points, and the traditional Serie A giants were left with only Inter. Rome is still a little short of a threat to it.

Other media also believe that Inter will easily win the Serie A title in the new season. The Serie A championship is the least suspenseful league title in the five major leagues.

……

The new season is about to begin, the transfer market is extremely active, Juventus are relegated to the second division, and the giants are starting to eat the big cake. On August 12, Milan announced the signing of a three-year contract with French veteran Thuram, with a transfer fee of six million euros. Gagliari failed to sign Cannavaro and Zambrotta.

Juventus demanded that if they wanted to buy Cannavaro, they had to buy Emerson. Gagliari believes Milan already have Gattuso and don't need the aging Emerson. As for Zambrotta, it is mainly a matter of price, Juventus is asking for 10 million, and Gagliari is only willing to pay 8 million.

On August 13, Real Madrid announced that Franck Ribery, Cannavaro, Emerson and Franck Ribery had joined Real Madrid. The transfer fee for Cannavaro and Emerson is a total of 21 million euros. Ribery's transfer fee is as high as 30 million, which is inseparable from his excellent performance in the World Cup.

August 13th. Inter announced that Ibrahimovic and Vieira will join Inter, with Ibrahimovic having a transfer fee of up to 25 million euros and Vieira's transfer fee of 9.5 million.

On August 14, Barcelona announced that Zambrotta had joined Barca for nine million euros.

The Premier League giants did not enjoy the feast because many Italian players did not like the Premier League. In addition to the problem of football style, the problem of language is also an important reason. The Premier League prefers to go to La Liga compared to La Liga. Italian is very close to Spanish. Italian players go to Spain. It doesn't take long to learn Spanish.

While the stars fled one after another, some people chose to stick to it, and Buffon announced that he would play with Juventus in the Italian second division in the new season. Also left are the zebra prince Piero, and midfielders Nedved and Camoranesi. Forwards Trezeguet, Mutu.

The phenomenon is analysed in the team newspaper: a team. Both during the low tide period. or relegation, there are some loyal players who are willing to follow, this is the essence of the giants. There is a bunch of players such as Gianluigi Buffon in the Bianconeri. Not surprisingly, Juve will only be in Serie B for one season, and they will soon return to Serie A. Buffon and Nedved's persistence is a sign of loyalty to Juventus.

This loyalty is precious to Juventus now. After suffering a major blow, this is perhaps the only place where Juventus fans feel relief.

……

Someone comes, someone leaves, and Milan gave up Stam and Costa. Stam was replaced by Thuram, and Costa rarely played. The departure of the two has not had much impact on the overall strength of Milan, which has basically maintained the squad from last season.

August 18, 8 p.m., Milan manager's office.

Twenty square meters of space is not a big one, and the furnishings are very simple. A brown leather sofa, a brown desk, a brown bookcase, and the same brown floor. There is only a white vertical air conditioner in the office, which is not brown, and the whole layout of the room is low-key and calm. At this time, Ancelotti was sitting on the sofa facing south, and Tang Jue was sitting opposite him, with a coffee table between the two.

On the coffee table were two steaming white teacups, and Ancelotti took out a cigarette from the "Marco Polo" cigarette case on the coffee table and lit it. The air was immediately filled with the smell of tea and tobacco.

Ancelotti looked at Tang Jue and asked with a smile, "Have you had a good holiday, right?" ”

Tang Jue nodded and said, "It's just that the time is too short." ”

Ancelotti glanced at the blue curtains, and worry appeared on her face. Flicking the ashes, his gaze returned.

"The second-instance verdict was quite unfavorable to us. We can only start the Champions League from the qualifying round, so we have to bring you back early. ”

Carlo Ancelotti didn't say anything about Serie A, fifteen points is a big gap, and it's a headache to think about. With a long exhale, smoke erupted from Ancelotti's mouth, followed by sighs in the room.

"I know that the second-instance verdict is quite unfavorable to us, and the gap of 15 points is too large. If we want to win the Serie A title, not only do we have to work hard, but we also have to expect Inter to make mistakes. We can do it as hard as we can, but expecting Inter to make mistakes is difficult. ”

Tang Jue said most people's analysis of Serie A. Ancelotti nodded.

"However, we can't give up because it's too hard." Tang Jue looked at Ancelotti and continued.

Ancelotti shook his head and said, "It's difficult! It's not something that can be done in a moment's time. If we ditch the Champions League and focus on Serie A, we might be able to create this miracle. However, we can't give up the Champions League. We can't give up the Champions League because of an illusory and difficult Serie A champion, absolutely impossible! ”

On the evening of 5 August, Carlo Ancelotti's opinion was that the main focus was on the Champions League and Coppa Italia, with the Serie A champions just trying.

Give it a try, in fact, it is to wait and see, and it is very likely that you will give up after waiting and seeing. At this point, Ancelotti restated his point. Actually, Ancelotti is not wrong at all, fifteen points is too much. No matter how bold the prophet is, he dare not predict that Milan will be able to compete with Inter Milan for the Serie A title this season.

Inter are the only Serie A giants to benefit from Phonegate, and in addition to winning last season's Serie A title, they also benefited from Juve's relegation, buying Ibrahimovic and Patrick Vieira. After the addition of these two, Inter is even stronger. I want them to make mistakes. That's unlikely.

Tonight's meeting was brought up by Tang Jue, who felt that it was necessary for him to explain his views on the new season in detail. The main aim tonight was to convince Carlo Ancelotti that he could not give up Serie A.

"I know it's hard to convince you, but I'm going to give it a try, like the Serie A title in the new season, it's difficult, but it's worth trying." Tang Jue looked at Ancelotti and said: "Five years ago, I left Lyon because of kidney failure and heart disease, maybe in the eyes of others. I'll never get back on the football pitch. ”

"But. A miracle happened. I was miraculously cured. After I was healed, I returned to Lyon, but they abandoned me. Saint-Germain's second coach, Rakenbe, asked me to go to Saint-Germain to give it a try. I'm desperate. Decided to go to Saint-Germain and give it a try. So I set out on my way to Paris. ”

"Later I stayed in Paris. Cantona charted a path for me to grow. It was probably the hardest time of my life. Countless matches awaited me, and Cantona said I was going to regain the lost three years. French Youth League, as well as U17 and U19 matches. The most exaggerated month. I played fifteen games. ”

Tang Jue's voice was a little low, and Ancelotti nodded and said: "I've heard that your experience is different from other players, and you are the only professional player who has not participated in the academy. ”

Tang Jue's voice suddenly raised a few degrees: "Later, I thought back that if it weren't for the high-density competition at that time, I wouldn't have been able to enter the first team so quickly." When I stepped into the first team and officially entered the professional arena, I once told myself: no matter how difficult it is in the future, I can't give up! ”

The air in the room became a little solemn, and Ancelotti looked at Tang Jue and was moved. Tang Jue raised his head and looked at him bravely. The eyes of the two met in the air, and all Ancelotti saw was fortitude and determination.

"So, in the face of difficulties, I will not give up. The difference of 15 points is huge, but as long as we keep winning, it will put psychological pressure on Inter. Maybe that's when they get it wrong. That's our chance! ”

The room fell silent, and Ancelotti began to tangle inside. Who doesn't want to win more titles? However, the reality is so cruel, fifteen points......

"I can play all the Serie A and Champions League games except for the Coppa Italia!"

Tang Jue said his requirements for the new season. He thinks that if he wants to give up, it should be the Coppa Italia, not Serie A.

Ancelotti fell into deep thought. The situation of the new season is very clear, and the unrealistic illusion of the Serie A title must be abandoned. And Gagliari is also thinking this way.

However, whether it is the success of last season or the amazing World Cup. What Tang Jue said, Ancelotti must be considered. In addition, the Milan dressing room is divided into three forces, two for local players and one for foreign players. Maldini and Gattuso are two local forces that are in direct opposition to each other, and foreign players, mainly Brazilian players, have a good relationship with Maldini.

On the evening of the 5th, Ronnie and Kaka have made it clear that they support Tang Jue. If Tang Jue convinces Maldini again, then two-thirds of the people in the locker room will be on Tang Jue's side.

Therefore, judging from the strength of the locker room, Ancelotti must also seriously think about what Tang Jue said.

Tang Jue picked up the teacup on the coffee table, blew lightly a few breaths, and took a sip slowly. Ancelotti looked at Tang Jue's steady hand and thought: Damn, aren't you giving me a problem? Gagliari will not take this risk, if not, this season will be fruitless!

Who wants to bear this outcome?

Do you think you have the confidence to convince me for what is so smooth in your hands?

Don despaired Ancelotti and said: "I will make the outside world think that this is my personal opinion and opinion. Even if I fail, I will bear the responsibility! ”

Ancelotti shook his head, this responsibility is probably not so easy to bear. In addition, the World Cup final, the defeat of Italy, how many people in Italy are dissatisfied with you. If the last one fails, how will they attack you?

Serie A champion, as soon as this slogan is shouted, what will the Serie A arena become? Will the opposing fans spare you? In the midst of the loud boos and ridicule, you are guaranteed to perform at your best?

In addition, if the team fails, how can one player bear the blame?

Damn it! (To be continued......)
