283 The last piece of the puzzle

In the European football scene throughout the summer, in addition to Yang Cheng, who has received the most attention, there is also an object of hype in the media, that is, the top giant from Spain, Real Madrid.

The team, which has just won the La Liga championship, has been recruiting since the summer.

In an interview with the media, Florentino said in a high-profile manner that Figo is only the first superstar he has introduced since taking office, and he hopes to build Real Madrid into the most star-studded team in the world with the transfer strategy of one superstar a year.

Who will be next?

There is no doubt that Florentino is most eager to invite Yang Cheng, the Chinese claim to be a superstar in the field of head coaching, but this guy has never nodded, and Florentino can only regret temporarily suppressing it.

However, he is very interested in Inter Milan's world leading striker Ronaldo, and he believes that if the alien joins Real Madrid, it can greatly improve Real Madrid's attacking power and make this Real Madrid more brilliant.

However, after Florentino contacted Ronaldo's new agent Figer, the latter made it clear to him that Ronaldo would continue to stay in Inter Milan, and he hoped to create higher glory in this team, and would not consider a transfer to Real Madrid for the time being.

Florentino was also a master of talent, and after failing to convince Ronaldo, he continued to keep in touch with Figer and immediately shifted his focus to Juventus' Zinedine Zidane, as well as Liverpool's Michael Owen and Argentine striker Saviola.

The latter player simply can't meet the requirements of a top superstar, and the pursuit of him is more about competing with the sworn rival Barcelona.

For Juventus, Zidane is no longer for sale!

Moggi, who has always been based on breaking even, has been determined to reshuffle the cards in the face of Juventus' decline in the past two seasons, and only by selling Zidane for a sky-high transfer fee can he realize the transfer operation he has in mind.

This will undoubtedly be a blockbuster transfer that will affect the general trend of Serie A transfers!

So Facchetti's brow furrowed when he heard the news on the phone.

"What's wrong?" Yang Cheng felt strange, why did his face become so ugly?

As soon as Fachetti put down the phone, he shook his head and sighed, "Zidane switched to Real Madrid!" ”

"Finalized?" Yang Cheng was also a little surprised, after all, it's only July now, so it's a little early.

The latter nodded, "Well, it is rumored that the transfer fee could reach 80 million euros!" ”

It's even higher than in my previous life!!

Yang Cheng is a little surprised, but it is not difficult to understand, Rivaldo's switch to Lazio created a sky-high transfer, Zidane is also the soul core of Juventus, to persuade Moggi to let go, the transfer fee must not be lower than Rivaldo.

But then, Juventus made another blockbuster transfer, Moggi decided to let go of Inzaghi, and the Foxes in the penalty area switched to the Rossoneri, for which Galliani paid the Bianconeri a sky-high price of 30 million euros.

In two transfers, Moggi recovered the transfer fee of 110 million euros, which is really two big deals, especially when you think about the value of these two players when they joined Juventus, combined with the present, you can imagine how much Juventus has earned.

'Now Juventus have a big transfer fee on hand, Lippi is almost finalised, but he wants to strengthen the backline, he wants Thuram and Cannavaro, and he wants a goalkeeper.

After a pause, Facchetti said: "There are rumors that Real Madrid wants to use Casillas to fill part of Zidane's transfer fee, but Lippi is not interested in Casillas, and Moggi does not think that Casillas can adapt to Serie A, so he is still waiting and seeing!" ”

After Yang Cheng heard this, he was very dissatisfied with some of Real Madrid's actions, but they had nothing to do with him, so he didn't show it.

"We have to take the opportunity to drive up the price, Thuram and Cannavaro are players who are in short supply in the transfer market at the moment, and AC Milan has Rui Costa in sight, we are all keeping an eye on it!"

The transfer market is like a war of attrition, and even if Inter Milan are not prepared to bring in reinforcements, they must make their opponents pay a terrible price, especially those who are directly competing for the title.

…………

............, with the involvement of Inter Milan, the transfer market in Serie A as a whole has become more turbulent. Now that the whole world knows that Juventus is sitting on a transfer fee of more than 100 million, naturally all the parent teams that are targeted by him are waiting patiently, just because they all know that Juventus must not be able to sit still.

If they want to challenge Inter Milan, who have been strong in the past two years, Juventus and AC Milan will have to make a big splash and squander the euros in their hands, so all teams are very patient.

It is rumored that Juventus are eyeing Lazio striker Salas and are ready to use Kovacevic to add money to bring in the Chilean striker, while Lazio is also preparing to bring in Brazilian central defender Juan and other defenders to fill the gap in the team and strengthen competitiveness, both sides are consuming.

AC Milan chose Fiorentina's Turkish coach Trim after failing to poach Yang Cheng, who immediately announced that he wanted to bring in Rui Costa as soon as he arrived.

However, there are also a number of teams interested in Rui Costa, and the Portuguese just renewed his contract last season, and the transfer fee is sure to be high, so negotiations between the parties have been slow.

Parma have their eye on Galatasaray's main striker, who performed well in the Champions League last season, and Brazilian Jadel, while Roma are ready to bring in Desailly and Kufuor to further strengthen the team's backline.

Just as the entire Italian team was making a big splash in the transfer market, Inter Milan began preparations for the new season.

…………

When Deco arrived at Malpensa airport, he was pulling a suitcase of luggage, dressed very civilian, and looked very low-key.

But the reporters who were waiting to block him at the airport immediately pounced and blocked Deco in the waiting hall.

"Hello, Deco, what made you turn down another team and choose to join Inter Milan?"

"There are rumors from the outside world that the Brazilian national team has repeatedly rejected you, and you deliberately want to switch to other national teams, is it true?"

"Yang Cheng once said that you are an important member of Inter Milan's midfield, from the core of Kaiserslautern to Inter Milan competing with countless top stars, do you think you are ready?"

The reporters blocked Deco is a question.

Deco had never met such a crazy reporter in Germany, and he was a little surprised at first, but he quickly calmed down.

"I came to Inter Milan to achieve even better results and I am delighted and proud to be able to play under Caesar again, he is the best manager I have ever seen!"

"As for the competition in the team, I have prepared everything and I believe I have the quality to compete for a place in the main team!"

Deco's answer seemed to be decent, and the reporters, of course, were not satisfied, and immediately followed up with questions.

They desperately hope that Deco can be like Salas, and announce in a high-profile manner that he joined Juventus in order to grab Piero's main position, which can arouse contradictions and competition, and it will be more enjoyable!

But Deco was clearly not prepared to do so, and he quickly left the departure hall with the help of the people Inter had arranged to pick him up.

"Want to see the residence first? Or do you want to go to the training base first? The staff asked.

"Where's the boss?" Deco asked expectantly.

"Caesar is at the Pinettina base, ready for tomorrow's training camp!"

"Then go to the base!" He couldn't wait.

Once again to play under Yang Cheng, Deco can be said to be full of ambition, and he came to be able to play the main role in Yang Cheng's team and play a more important role.

Yang Cheng had already told him his idea half a year ago, and Deco also agreed, and now he came to Milan City to fill the last piece of the puzzle in Yang Cheng's tactics.

After arriving at the Pinetina base, Deco knocked on the door of Yang Cheng's office under the leadership of the staff.

"You're here!" Yang Cheng was behind the desk, raised his head, and when he saw Deco, he smiled, a bit like a leader, "Come and sit!" He beckoned Deco to sit down at his desk.

"Boss!" When Deco saw Yang Cheng, his expression was a little excited and excited.

Although when Yang Cheng led Kaiserslautern to win the treble, Deco was only a substitute for Veron, but he benefited a lot from Yang Cheng's tutelage, and after Veron left, he was directly promoted to the team's main midfield core. "What about your wife and children?" Yang Cheng asked in a homely manner. In Brazil! Deco replied with a smile, he was used to such concerned questions from the chief.

"Wait a minute, I'll go see the house, bring my family over, come early tomorrow for a medical check-up, and we'll leave for Asia in 3 days!" Yang Cheng explained.

After a pause, he looked at Deco and continued: "When you come to Inter Milan, I can't guarantee that you will get the main force, all this has to be fought for by yourself, but what I can guarantee is that I know how to use you!" ”

Deco couldn't help nodding, he also knew that Inter Milan was a giant team, with a lot of big names, even if he was a player handpicked by Yang Cheng, he had to use his strength and performance to convince his teammates, otherwise, he would not be able to stay in this team for a long time.

As for Yang Cheng, Adecco has always been very clear about Yang Cheng's employment strategy, that is, state-only theory.

Of course, he doesn't just talk about his form, for example, he used Andrea Pirlo last season to give the youngster trust and give him plenty of opportunities, all in order to push him to improve.

I believe that this season, Yang Cheng will also give Deco more opportunities.

Seeing Deco leave his office, Yang Cheng returned his attention to the tactical drawings in front of him.

This tactical drawing draws the main lineup and tactics of Inter Milan this season, the forward line is still the combination of Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy, behind Nedved, the two central midfielders are Pirlo and Deco, the midfielder is Emerson, the back line is still Zambrotta, Nesta, Lucio and Zanetti, and the goalkeeper is Gianluigi Buffon.

There was not much adjustment at the back, that is, in the midfield, Deco replaced Van Bommel.

According to Yang Cheng's plan, the positioning of this midfield combination is different.

Emerson's main responsibility is to position and protect the defence and groom the midfield, but his role is more like playing the ball on the flanks, while taking on most of the return passes up front and reorganizing the ball.

Andrea Pirlo's role is to organise the attack, and his position is more fixed in midfield, and he can even play a little further back to help Emerson, focusing on his advantage in the middle and long balls, which is somewhat similar to the role of David Beckham in Manchester United's golden four, but the position of Beckham has been shifted to the middle.

Deco is positioned as an all-round midfielder, responsible for organization, short passing and certain defensive tasks, his running range is not small, he can press high, assist Nedved, especially when Inter Milan concedes a goal, he must be the first to step forward and form a surrounding trend in the front.

Deco is characterized by great creativity and no lack of tactical awareness, with a very well-rounded characteristic, a very aggressive run, and as a Brazilian, his skill is unquestionable, which makes Yang Cheng look forward to him and Andrea Pirlo as a midfielder.

Nedved's responsibility is to bring out his character, pressing wide up front and plugging in from the back.

Inter Milan's defensive system starts from the striker, and everyone knows that the key to measuring a team's defensive strength is the moment when the attack and defense are switched, and the team's ability to help defend and protect.

Running back and forth and erratic positions as strikers move back and forth, and one of Nedved's most important responsibilities is to make sure the strikers are in position when the team moves from attack to defence, and if the striker loses his position, he has to fill in for the striker.

And Nedved fills the position, and Deco naturally has to follow up and continue to maintain the team's defensive system.

As for the attacking side, what Deco can provide is to advance with the ball and insert a through stopper, which is currently lacking in Inter Milan's midfield, and his sense of coordination is very good, and he can form a tacit understanding with Pirlo and Nedved, firmly control the midfield, and establish the advantage of the game.

All this is still only on paper, and to really achieve it, we have to wait until after the team training camp, Yang Cheng further inspects the training of the players, and then can make a decision, and does not rule out the possibility of temporarily following the tactics of last season, and then slowly arranging Deco to integrate into the team.

After all, Inter Milan's midfield was also strong last season!

…………

The first day of the team's re-training camp was always very busy.

Since they are about to go to the Asian training camp, a very important task for the Inter Milan players on the first day of training is to check the physical condition of the players. Those who participated in the Copa America were allowed to extend their vacation and go directly to Chengdu to join the team without going to Milan, so Zanetti, Lucio, Córdoba, Emerson, Recoba, Ronaldo and Batistuta did not participate in the first day of the training camp. But the atmosphere of the whole Pinettina base is still very warm, after all, the players are looking forward to the training camp in Asia, but when they think of Yang Cheng's most admired pre-season hellish training, they are all bitter.

I guess that's what it means to be in pain and happy!

During the team's two days at the Pinettina base, Yang Cheng did not directly give the team a lot, but more to recover and routine training, except for the physical reserve training session in the morning, the training intensity of the other two classes was not very large.

During this time, he was more with Chris, Tim Hank and others to inspect the physical condition of the players, especially Baggio, a player with a lot of injuries has always been a problem for Yang Cheng, and he hopes that Baggio can continue to maintain his role in the team until he really can't play anymore.

At the end of the two-day training session, the players assembled at the Pinettina base for a flight to China.

In addition to the first-team players, coaching staff and staff, as well as employees from the club's headquarters office, the team also invited a number of media colleagues with whom they usually have good relations.

Inter Milan attaches great importance to the selection of these media, after all, this is a good opportunity to reflect Inter Milan's popularity in Asia, and it can also take the opportunity to close the relationship between Inter Milan and the media.

As the mouthpiece of Inter Milan in the past two years, Milan City Newspaper naturally got the right to accompany the team, and the Milan Sports Newspaper, which seems to be neutral but faintly biased towards Inter Milan, also got a place, and they sent their columnist Pozzo, who is also a well-known reporter in Italy and has a good relationship with Yang Cheng.

In addition, Glen Nack has also gained full strength as a freelance columnist, and his relationship with Yang Cheng is well known to the world, and he also gave Yang Cheng a lot of help when he first took charge of Inter Milan.

In addition, there are several reporters who are close to each other on weekdays, and they will all follow Inter Milan's Asian trip in an all-round way.

With the aura of the European champion, Inter Milan's trip to Asia can be said to have attracted the attention of countless reporters and media, and it is undoubtedly a great convenience to be able to obtain the right to accompany the team.

Just as the media around the world generally paid attention to Inter Milan's Asian trip, the domestic media also paid great attention to Inter Milan's Asian trip, but compared with the star-studded Inter Milan, the vast majority of domestic fans paid more attention to the team's head coach, the young Caesar Yang Cheng.

This is the first European giants to gain a foothold, but also two European Champions Cup genius marshal, is the pride of countless domestic fans, he led the team back to his homeland for the first time, the domestic media naturally hyped and reported, coupled with the intentional promotion of the operator, they even began to use Caesar as an important hype point for this trip to China.

Before the team arrived, the whole domestic football scene has been hyped, and everyone is looking forward to seeing Caesar lead Inter Milan to China, in his own country, to dedicate a series of exciting games to the fans here.

The fans are looking forward to it, and Yang Cheng himself is also looking forward to it.

Because, this is the first time he has returned to his homeland in such an official capacity!

There is a good saying, wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade night walk!. )
