Chapter 803: What Do You Think?
On this morning, Via Durini in Milan, Italy, was blocked by reporters from afar.
They are not only from Milan and Italy, but also from other European countries, especially Germany.
Some even come from all over the world.
There's only one reason they've been waiting here for a long time, and that's when the Nerazzurri's new boss is about to sign.
"Here, look, the car is coming!"
I don't know who it was, but I was the first to shout, and immediately woke everyone in the already not spacious Dulini Street.
The next moment, they all rushed up.
The car is dedicated to the reception of Inter Milan by the Aston Martin Lagonda Conqueror.
This is a car sponsor for Inter Milan!
The body is dyed with blue-black stripes, the colour of Aston Martin's exclusive supply to Inter Milan.
"Don't squeeze everyone, please get out of the way, thank you!"
The staff at 24 rue Durini had already received the news and immediately came out to maintain order at the scene.
Finally separated from the reporters, the car slowly drove into Durini Avenue and stopped at the gate of No. 24.
As soon as the car door opened, the spotlight flashed wildly.
In the sound of an endless stream of snapping flashing lights, Jurgen Klopp, who was wearing a black shirt, got out of the car, and he was a big man, and as soon as he got out of the car, he smiled at the reporters at the scene.
Suddenly, the reporters at the scene seemed to be greatly encouraged and rushed forward again.
"Mr. Klopp, may I ask you, why did you choose Inter Milan?"
"I've heard that Manchester United are interested in you, so why would you want to take over this mess of Inter Milan?"
"I heard that Inter Milan offered you a sky-high annual salary, is that true?"
"Is it true that you resigned from Borussia Dortmund because of Inter Milan?"
The scene was a mess, and all the reporters desperately tried to squeeze through.
"Hello, Mr. Klopp, I'm the head of public relations at Inter Milan, Paolo Vigano!"
A middle-aged Italian man who had been guarding the gate for a long time immediately greeted him.
"Hello, Mr. Vigano!" Klopp hasn't seen him yet.
"Please follow me!"
Paul Viganor glanced at the staff next to him, then reached out and made a gesture of please, turned sideways himself, and let Klopp walk into the office first.
And the staff member stood in front of all the reporters, "Excuse me, everyone, we will hold a press conference later, and if you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot, but now, I'm sorry!" ”
Someone at the scene immediately recognized him, wasn't it Luigi Kripa from the press office?
Hearing him say this, everyone stopped being impulsive.
Anyway, there will be a press conference later, and you can ask whatever you want, so why rush it?
So, they turned to care about how the photos of Klopp's debut were taken.
Usually, it's either a good shot or a simple ugly shot, which is more newsworthy.
"Hello, Jurgen!"
As soon as I walked into Inter Milan's office, I saw the big three of Inter Milan, Fasone, Blanca and Osirio leading the crowd to greet them, and Inter Milan staff were also taking pictures and recordings.
Because these will be sent to the official website, mobile app and WeChat public account as soon as possible, and interact with fans around the world in real time, and the entire press conference will be broadcast live on the Internet.
"I'm here to introduce you, this is our head of the legal department, Francesca Mutini, and he will introduce you to the process of the signing ceremony, as well as some details to pay attention to."
"Hello, Mr. Mutini!"
"Hello, Mr. Klopp!"
After the two shook hands, Fasonet immediately introduced the next person, "This is the head of our press department, Leo Pizzi, who will be in charge of this press conference, and he will explain the press conference process later, as well as some precautions, including some things when facing questions from the media, because there are tens of thousands of fans waiting for our press conference on the net." ”
"So much?" Klopp was a little surprised.
Leo Pizzi smiled, "That's already a lot, and when the press conference starts, it's the evening in Asia, and it's estimated that there will be more than six figures of attention, so we have to discuss it first!" ”
Klopp couldn't stop nodding, which was also very deserved.
I just didn't expect that the head coach of Inter Milan would be so concerned with just a press conference, which was too surprising.
Faso mainly introduces the people of the club's administration, while Blanca is responsible for introducing the first team manager, the head of stadium security, the head of the medical department, etc., and Osirio is the director of the academy and some key employees.
After this meeting, everyone moved to the high-level conference room.
It's clearly been carefully laid out, with backgrounds and so on, all to bring out the traditional atmosphere of Inter Milan.
Here, Jurgen Klopp signed a four-year contract with Fasone, representing himself and Inter Milan, respectively, with a salary of only 5 million euros, instead of the rumored 7 million euros.
But even so, Klopp's contract is second to none in Serie A.
At present, the highest annual salary in Serie A is Juventus' Conte, 3.8 million euros, but Conte has been asking Juventus to renew his contract and raise his salary, and he is also asking for more power.
In second place is Napoli's Benitez with an annual salary of 3.5 million euros.
Originally, in third place was Inter Milan's Mazzari, 3.3 million euros, but the manager has already stepped down.
Jurgen Klopp's annual salary is almost two million euros more than Mazzal's, but considering that Inter Milan have been cutting the team's salary bill for the past year, the amount is still within the club's acceptable range.
After the two parties signed the contract, walked through the signing ceremony, and discussed the press conference in the conference room, they walked into the press conference on time.
By this time, more than 100 journalists from all over the world had already gathered in the press conference hall at 24 rue Durini.
And Jurgen Klopp has also changed into an Inter Milan shirt with his name on it.
As soon as everyone saw Klopp, accompanied by the big three of Inter Milan, when they walked into the press conference field, they were all excited, and the spotlights flashed non-stop.
The press conference was presided over by Inter Milan's press director, Leo Pizzi.
He first introduced the news of Inter Milan's four-year contract with Klopp to everyone on the scene, and briefly answered several questions from the media, such as Klopp's annual salary.
After that, the press conference got to business.
"Mr. Klopp, I'm a reporter for Milan Sport, and we all know that since you announced that you were going to leave Borussia Dortmund after the season, there have been many teams that have expressed interest in you, including Manchester United, but what made you choose Inter Milan? Chose Serie A? ”
Jurgen Klopp is clearly used to seeing all kinds of scenes, and his ability to deal with the media has always been talked about by fans.
"I'm sorry, I can only answer this question in my broken English."
"But I want to say that you are not asking the right question, Inter Milan is a traditional club with a great history, and it is an honour to be here and to be able to sit here."
'Yes, he's having problems now, but, I'm sure that with me and all my colleagues, and our players, we're going to be able to solve them, we're going to get out of the past and come out stronger!'
Many reporters at the scene listened to it and immediately praised it in their hearts.
This guy's mouth isn't bad at all.
If he just answered the reason why he chose Inter Milan, it was a tacit acquiescence to the disparagement of Inter Milan in the reporter's question, so he specially praised Inter Milan again.
Sometimes that's how it goes, even if everyone knows it, but you just can't say it.
"Mr. Klopp, some people say that you will bring Borussia Dortmund's football to Inter Milan, but do you think that with the current Inter Milan line-up, it meets your tactical requirements? Or what are you going to decide in the transfer market? ”
"First of all, I won't simply bring Borussia Dortmund football to Inter Milan, because it is Dortmund football, not necessarily for Inter Milan, every team has its own characteristics, and my job is to find Inter football."
'I'm very happy with the squad at the moment, we're very old, there's no problem with the quality of the players, I think it's a very competitive squad and if that's the case, why should I make any more decisions in the transfer market?'
"Of course, if I get to know the team in depth and think it's necessary, then I'll give advice and opinions."
Many people present immediately praised the German coach in their hearts.
This guy is so experienced in dealing with the media.
"Mr. Klopp, can you please tell us what you think Inter Milan football should look like?"
Klopp thought for a moment and smiled: "Very touching and attractive!" ”
"Mr. Klopp, Inter Milan has not achieved good results in the past few years, and many fans are full of expectations for your arrival, will this cause pressure on you?"
"Well, there's going to be pressure, but I don't think it's a bad thing because it's a very happy thing to have a group of fans who are loyal to the team, and I hope that I and my football can bring them joy!"
"What do you think of Juventus?"
"There is no one of the strongest teams in Serie A today!"
"What about Rome and Naples?"
"Inter Milan's most direct rivals, they have very good quality and a very good manager!"
"What about AC Milan, the city's sworn enemy?"
'I believe that last season was an accident and they will have a good league position for the new season.
After a pause, the German coach burst out laughing, "But...... Our ranking will definitely be better! ”
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
"Mr. Klopp, what do you think of the Serie A title race in the new season? Does Inter Milan stand a chance? ”
"Of course there is, every team has a chance, doesn't it?"
After a pause, Klopp continued: "I think it's too early to talk about winning the title before the league starts, and the most important thing we should think about is not winning the title, but every game, every opportunity. ”
"I believe that as long as we grasp every game and every opportunity, then winning the league is just a natural thing, and there is no need to deliberately pursue it, what do you think?"
