310 Grab the knife
With the derby approaching, especially the two consecutive rounds of Milan derby and Italian derby, Inter Milan is one away and one home, the game situation is very serious, and the atmosphere at the Pinettina base is getting stronger and stronger.
In the two group games against Porto in the Champions League, Yang Cheng bluntly said in the dressing room that he was very dissatisfied, but he did not blame the players more, but was actively looking for a solution, he knew very well that if the impact of Emerson's absence could not be solved in the knockout round, the team would be targeted by the opponent in the knockout round.
But the schedule definitely couldn't give him too much time to prepare, and the game after game, Yang Cheng was like rushing to the market, and there was not much time to adjust.
After the Porto game, Inter Milan began to practice the tactics of AC Milan in a targeted manner, and Carlo Ancelotti's Rossoneri team still followed the skeleton of the Trim period from the framework, but added some of Ancelotti's own things.
From a certain point of view, Trim is depressed, because he planted a tree, and Ancelotti came to enjoy the coolness!
Of course, this is only temporary, as long as Ancelotti is given more time, he will bring more changes to this AC Milan team.
Compared to the Rossoneri's fans, who shouted to protect his club's 58-game unbeaten run, Carlo Ancelotti has been relatively low-key in this regard, not mentioning that he must win, but only saying that he will do his best.
On the contrary, Inter Milan head coach Yang Cheng made a high-profile statement at the pre-match press conference that he hoped that the team could beat AC Milan twice and continue to maintain the advantage over the Rossoneri.
'We all know that we have maintained the advantage in the Milan derby for the last two years and I hope to continue to maintain this psychological advantage, which I believe all Inter fans want to see!'
For Yang Cheng's high profile, the reporters of course took a welcoming attitude, and hoped that Yang Cheng could say more, but Caesar was not stupid, he knew what it meant to be in moderation.
…………
…………
Leaving the press conference at the Pinettina base, Yang Cheng asked the staff to send the reporters away, and he walked towards the office.
When passing through the corridor intersection, I saw a staff member wearing an Inter Milan training uniform walking over, wearing a pair of glasses, slightly fat, and when the two passed by, the person nodded politely to Yang Cheng and greeted, "Hello, Caesar!" ”
"Hello!" Yang Cheng responded with a smile.
After walking a few steps, Yang Cheng stopped, turned his head, looked at the person's back, and continued to walk forward.
"It's familiar, who the hell is this person?" Yang Cheng was a little puzzled.
However, there are so many staff members at the Pinetina base, especially recently, as the Interrello base is ready to move to the Pinetina base, the nearby works are under construction, and people come and go, and the club also has a lot of staff from the Interrello base, who have come in advance to adapt and arrange.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng didn't feel that there was any problem.
Back in his office, Yang Cheng's mobile phone rang.
"Hey, Caesar!" Facchetti's voice rang on the other side of the phone.
"I'll turn it off a little later, Giacento!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
The other party was also laughing, "Just finished a press conference? ”
"Hmm!" Yang Cheng replied, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"We're coming for you!" After saying that, he hung up his phone.
About 10 minutes later, Facchetti and Moratti appeared in Yang Cheng's office, Yang Cheng was sitting in the main seat to make tea for the two top bosses, and a middle-aged Italian man sitting across from him.
"Come, tea!" Yang Cheng greeted, but his eyes flickered back and forth between Moratti and Facchetti, apparently waiting for their introduction.
"This is Marco Blanca, the club's new assistant manager!" Fachetti said with a smile.
Yang Cheng looked towards Blanca, "Nice to meet you, Marco!" ”
"It is my pleasure to see you, Caesar!" Blanca responded with a smile.
"When Marko takes over, he will be mainly responsible for the work with the team, including some transfer operations and so on." Facchetti explained the new distribution of power at the club. ,
Yang Cheng has always wanted Inter Milan to break away from Moratti and adopt a model similar to that of a professional manager, like Juventus, although it is impossible for Inter Milan to hire someone like Moggi as general manager.
After Facchetti took charge of Inter Milan, he was deeply influenced by Yang Cheng and is also committed to promoting this matter, Marco Blanca and others are all cadres he has promoted before and after, and they will also be Facchetti's right and left hands.
Obviously, the arrival of Moratti and the three was not only to introduce Marco Blanca to Yang Cheng, but also to discuss the progress of the new stadium and the relocation of the Interrello base, Yang Cheng has always insisted on one thing, that is, to pay attention to youth training, a club can have a future.
"At present, Italy's youth training is generally lagging behind other European countries, and the club's management is also very unprofessional, too far behind, if you don't get rid of this big problem, you will definitely be dragged further and further by competitors in the future!" Yang Cheng said with great certainty.
Moratti has long been persuaded by Yang Cheng, and even when Yang Cheng wanted to join Inter Milan, he had reached a consensus on the matter of youth training.
"What's going on with the recent clutter in the Italian professional league elections?" Yang Cheng asked casually.
"It's still the same, I can't choose anyone!" Fachetti shook his head and sighed.
As for the current situation of Italian football, those who really know know that it is a mess!
In Yang Cheng's previous life, many Serie A fans attributed the reason for the backwardness of Serie A to the phonegate, which is actually incorrect, because even if there is no phonegate, Serie A will have an accident sooner or later, which is not all due to the holy alliance between Juventus and AC Milan, nor is it all for other reasons, but the overall environment.
Without further ado, let's talk about the leaders of the Italian clubs.
The character of Moggi, the leader of Juventus, is known to everyone, and the vice president of Juventus, Bertega, is even more greedy, and he recently asked the Italian government to declare football in a state of crisis, apply for financial subsidies and tax breaks, which is really unthinkable, it is simply to rely on the club to make profits, and even carry out certain activities.
Roma's president, Sensi, claims to represent the interests of small and medium-sized clubs, and it is true that he and Roma both represent some of the poorer clubs in the south, but if you have more contact with Sensi, you will find that he is a bit similar to the kind of nouveau riche, who speaks unscrupulously and explodes at every turn.
Just a few days ago, he criticized Capello in an interview, and every sentence contained swear words in the dialect of the Roman region, Capello directly counterattacked, and it was rumored that Capello was likely to be dismissed because of this.
As for the benefits Sensi is talking about, is that really the case?
Nowadays, the clubs in the north hope to unify the broadcasting rights of all the teams in Serie A, negotiate collectively, and then divide the clubs independently, adopting a model similar to the Premier League, of course, in the division, because the fans and appeal of several giants such as Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan occupy about 80% of the resources of Serie A, so it is proposed to occupy the majority of the shares.
But some clubs, led by Roma, did not do it, insisting on selling independently, and even when the negotiations went wrong, these clubs went directly to the government to talk to the government.
That's how the decision to postpone Serie A by a month last season came about!
Today's professional league president election is still like this, and all parties are competing for it.
"There have been 3 votes, and there is still not a single chairman!" Facchetti looked distressed.
Compared with many clubs, Inter Milan is relatively healthy in terms of image, Moratti has always been a wronged character, and his image is not much worse, and Facchetti has always given people a sense of moderation.
"According to the rules, every election has to be more than two-thirds to be counted, and now Sensi and Junior Tanzi have not been able to get enough votes, and many voters have taken the form of giving up, and the votes have not reached two-thirds at all."
Speaking of this, Facchetti couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "You didn't go to the scene, it was just a farce, attacking each other, humiliating each other, in short...... It's hard to imagine! ”,
After listening to Facchetti's words, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, Italian democracy is like this!
"What happens if we continue to fail to reach a consensus?" Yang Cheng asked.
"Two years ago, there was no consensus on the election of the president of the Football Association, and in the end it was the President of the Olympic Committee Petrucci who also served as the President of the Football Association, and this time it is the same, the relevant departments have already let it go, if the chairman is not elected, the President of the Football Association, Carano, will preside over the work of the Professional Football League, but in this way, the Professional League is subordinate to the Football Association!"
That's why everyone is starting to get scared.
The professional league has always been independent and operates independently, with all the powers of the two major leagues of Serie A and Serie B, including referee assignment, formulation of schedules, foreign aid policies, commercial development and punishment of violations, etc., it can be said that the professional league is the manager of Serie A and Serie B, and the Football Association is responsible for the Italian national team.
After Yang Cheng listened, he suddenly understood why everyone was in a hurry now.
It's nothing more than profit!
If the professional leagues were to be controlled by the Football Association, the Football Association would definitely want to take a slice of the professional leagues as they did at the earliest, which would be a step backwards in history, which all professional clubs do not want to see.
If you don't want to be controlled by the Football Association, you have to elect a president, but Sensi and Junior Tanzi are incompatible with each other, and the electors have not been able to elect a result, which has led to the current situation.
Yang Cheng couldn't help but think back to his previous life, and the situation was the same at that time, but instead of letting the president of the Football Association, Carano, take the position, but AC Milan general manager Galliani temporarily took over the position of president of the professional league, who did not voluntarily step down after the phone door broke out.
"Now those small and medium-sized clubs in the south led by Roma seem to be united, but in fact they are in chaos, as long as it is a matter within the professional league, whether it is good or bad, they all adopt the opposite attitude and strategy with the northern league, as long as the north agrees, they will oppose it, as long as the north is against it, they will agree!"
At this point, Fachetti shook his head and laughed.
Everyone also thinks that southerners sometimes listen to cute!
It's like Sensi, you can think he's rude, you can think he's not imaged, but his devotion to Roma is unquestionable, without him, there would be no Roma last season's title!
There are two sides to people!
"There's no solution?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.
Facchetti and Moratti glanced at each other and nodded, "There is another way, that is, a third candidate appears!" ”
Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Moratti and Facchetti, and suddenly understood, "We? ”
"Yes!" Fachetti nodded, "Just in the morning, the presidents of several clubs called and wanted to recommend us Inter Milan as the third candidate, but we didn't have any preparations to run before!" ”
Inter Milan have not been very keen to get involved in such disputes, and since Moratti, few have been involved in such disputes, unlike Juventus and AC Milan.
However, the support of these small clubs, Yang Cheng also thinks it is reasonable.
First of all, Inter Milan's strength and success in recent seasons, it can be said that under the coaching of Yang Cheng, Inter Milan is the strongest team in Serie A today, there is no one, but the success of Athletic is only one of them, and the other is the success of Inter Milan outside Athletic.
To prepare for the construction of the new stadium, so far, Inter Milan's spending has come from the club itself, and has not used the net worth of Moratti and the vice-presidents for the time being, from this point of view, it can be seen that Inter Milan has successfully transformed in the past three years.
Not much else, a trip to Asia made Inter Milan fat, which attracted the envy of other European giants.
In this case, it is not for nothing that those small clubs support Inter Milan, not to mention that Moratti and Facchetti have always had a good image in Italy.
The only regret is that Moratti and Facchetti have no idea of getting involved, and they just want to do a good job for Inter Milan.
"I think I can consider it!" Yang Cheng spoke his mind. ,
"Why?" Moratti asked rhetorically.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "The current environment of Serie A is like this, whoever controls the professional league, who can control Serie A and Serie B, although the power of the chairman is limited, but the role that can be played is huge." ”
"Inter Milan has always adhered to an attitude, that is, not to actively participate in the power struggle, but I think that this kind of indifference is based on strength, you can only let others not infringe on your interests when you have the power that others are afraid of, otherwise, the knife is in the hands of others, when to kill you, see people happy!"
In the past, Inter Milan was indeed at the mercy of others, but now it is different, the situation has changed, and it is very important to take this opportunity to go further, at least have the ability to protect themselves, isn't it?
In Yang Cheng's view, participating in the election is not about whether he is elected or not, but about expressing an attitude.
Since there are so many small clubs that support you, if you don't stand up, you will be a bad seed, but once you stand up, even if you can't be chosen, those who are planning to deal with you in the future will weigh the results.
After listening to Yang Cheng's analysis, Moratti and Facchetti immediately frowned.
Marco Blanca nodded incessantly, "I totally agree with what Caesar said!" The eyes that looked at Yang Cheng were also full of admiration.
He has a good relationship with Moratti, and it was through Moratti that he came to the club, and after coming to Inter Milan, he really felt Yang Cheng's influence on this club, and it was a huge change from Inter Milan when he played.
Professionalism and efficiency, this is the atmosphere he feels at 24 Via Durini.
He really sees a strong reason in this current Inter Milan team!
"Let's think about it again!" Moratti struggled to decide.
Yang Cheng didn't say much, he is the head coach of the team, this text is provided by Qihang no one but when it comes to this kind of high-level decision-making, Moratti came to understand the opinion, it is because he attaches importance to Yang Cheng, but whenever there is a major decision, Yang Cheng will be discussed, but if Yang Cheng is arrogant and gets too involved in it, it will be arrogant.
Once there is a transgression, the relationship will break down!
On the contrary, Yang Cheng has always paid attention to gathering and dispersing!
"Well, but I think if you're running for president of the professional league, Jacchento is better than you, Massimo!" Yang Cheng reminded with a smile that you should be aware of conflicts of interest.
Moratti is not as political idiot as he seems on the surface, on the contrary, he is very smart, and immediately understood what Yang Cheng meant, and immediately nodded in agreement, indicating that he would consider it.
After sending off the three Moratti, Yang Cheng sat in the office, waiting for the afternoon training session, but his mind kept coiling a lot of topics just now.
In recent years, the glory of Serie A is more based on the team's high investment, even Fiorentina, Parma and other teams have maintained a high level of investment every year, which has caused the glory of Serie A, but once the investment is not connected, many problems in Serie A will be exposed one after another.
Even if there is no phone door, even if there is nothing else, when this large number of problems are exposed, the sinking of Serie A becomes inevitable!
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
The earliest thing he watched in his previous life was to watch Serie A, and when he personally came to the fact that Serie A would sink, he felt a little bit related to him, and Serie A represented a complex in his heart.
But he soon saw through it, because the history of football has always been a history of feng shui turns!
…………
…………
I don't know if Yang Cheng's opinion played a role, or if Moratti and Facchetti figured it out themselves.
The next day, Fachetti held a press conference at 24 Via Durini, announcing that he had formally submitted his candidacy to participate in the election between Sensi and Junior Tanzi in the fourth professional league presidency election next week, and he also said that he would announce his ruling phalanx and strategy after election next week.
At the same time, Moratti, who participated in the press conference, also showed his support for Facchetti.
"He's going to give everybody confidence because he's capable and he's very fair!"
The outcome will certainly have to wait until after the election meeting, but there is no doubt that Inter Milan's strong intervention will bring a bombshell to Italian football! )
