July 10th, early morning, light wind.

Yang Chengzhuo stood in the middle of the multi-purpose training ground at the Pinetina base, surrounded by members of the coaching staff who were busy setting up the training facilities for this morning, including a movable fence, some obstacles for players to dodge with the ball, and so on.

From time to time, he corrects the set-up of the coaching staff, but he is more observant.

"This season we will have more time to prepare, but it will be a big test to extend the schedule until mid-June!" Tim Hank walked over with a bit of a bitter taste.

Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled, "Those guys whose heads were trampled on by donkeys!" ”

"In terms of physical fitness, you must control it well, the winter break is only 2 weeks, but the schedule is 1 month longer than usual, which is a big trouble!"

Serie A was postponed for a month and ended by a month, but not in Europe, Inter Milan will play in the UEFA Champions League in the new season, and the first round of the group will be in mid-September, so the team's form must start at the beginning of September, but it will remain until mid-June, one month longer than usual.

"I'll leave this matter to you!" Yang Chengxin said to Tim Hank.

The latter shrugged his shoulders, and with Yang Cheng's fame, he is now a well-known physical trainer in European coaching circles, but because of his relationship with Yang Cheng, it is difficult for others to poach him.

By around 6 o'clock, the players showed up at the Pinetina base on time, and many people such as Pirlo, Perrotta, Ventola and others lived at the Pinetina base, and they all got up on time.

"Hello, chief!" Nedved was the first to walk out of the locker room, trotted all the way over, leaned over to Yang Cheng's side, and immediately came over to say hello.

"Hey, Pavel, didn't you hear that you were going to Juventus?" Yang Cheng asked with a deliberate smile.

"Uh... Originally, yes, but they couldn't pay me, so they didn't make it! Nedved replied with a smile.

Yang Cheng pursed his lips, "It's a pity, I'm still going to use the money from selling you in exchange for Little Pavel!" ”

The latter immediately laughed happily, "Ivana asked me to greet you, chief, come to my house for dinner!" ”

Ivana is his wife!

"Good!" Yang Cheng agreed with a smile.

Little Pavel is still very young, but it is very fun, Yang Cheng and Nedved live not far away, and from time to time they will receive invitations to eat, and this habit has started since the time of Kaiserslautern.

"Hah, what are you talking about?" Vanney, who also came to the field early, came closer.

"I'm talking about your schoolgirl!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Vanney's horse face turned red and he yelled at Nedved, "You bastard, what did you say?" ”

"Hey, does Pavel know?" Yang Cheng pretended to be stupid.

"Who said that?" Vanney was a little indignant.

Yang Cheng hinted: "It depends on how many people you have mentioned this matter to!" ”

Fanny was stunned for a moment, but really thought about it, it seemed that there were too many people, and he couldn't think of who was most likely!

Seeing him like this, Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled.

Fanny's pickling skills are indeed very ordinary, so I met a student girl, but I didn't know how to start, so I immediately called to ask someone, and accidentally asked Gattuso, who immediately called Yang Cheng and leaked this heavenly secret.

After a joking, the players came to the court one after another, and Nedved, Ruud van Nistelrooy and others kept a distance from Yang Cheng when there were outsiders, and they all immediately returned to the queue. Yang Cheng wore a short-sleeved jersey and sports pants, both sponsored by Nike, and stood in front of the players.

"How are you doing with your vacation?" Narrowing his eyes, he asked with a smile.

"Good!!" "Not good!!"

The answers in the team were different, which was interesting.

Yang Cheng waved his hand vigorously, feeling that these guys had no tacit understanding, "Whether you are good or not, in short, the end of the world is coming!" ”

Some of the guys who knew Yang Cheng's habits suddenly sighed one by one.

"Then, we're going to go to England for a training ......."

When the players heard this, they were all happy, and it was good to be able to travel.

"In short, in a word, if you perform well and train hard, you will have a chance, and you will have a reason to do it!"

In a word, the players immediately cheered.

When Yang Cheng led the team, he did not blindly adopt a pressure policy, in fact, he was not a hard-blooded coach like Capello at all, he was also very talkative, and even considered a series of suggestions put forward by the players, and made some transactions similar to negotiating deals with the players.

"Okay, don't be too happy, go to the laboratory first, if you fail the test, you know what to do!"

After speaking, Yang Cheng waved his hand vigorously and motioned the players to go to the laboratory next to the training building, Chris Schmidt and others were already ready, waiting for the players to arrive and conduct physical tests on them.

The purpose of the pre-season physical examination is to better understand the physical condition of the players, and then the coaching staff will arrange tasks for them to help them recover and adjust their physical reserves, so as to ensure that they are physically able to cope well with the season.

After the improvement and improvement of last season, Yang Cheng's system is now very advanced, and the whole inspection process is carried out quickly, and it will be completed in more than half an hour, but the specific reports and data will not be analyzed until noon.

After the test was completed, the players went to the cafeteria and had a group meal.

…………

…………

"How?" Yang Cheng walked into the laboratory and asked with concern.

"It's not bad, but the players who participated in the European Championship will obviously be worse, so pay attention in training!" Chris was busy operating the computer, but his mouth was answering his questions.

"Then you send the data directly to Tim and Paul's notebooks, and we'll analyze it when we have a meeting at noon!"

With last season's outstanding results, Yang Cheng has become more and more influential at Inter Milan, and this season not only has the request for additional equipment in the laboratory been met, but the coaching staff has also been treated like a laptop.

Yang Cheng ordered a complete set of player statistics from Sky TV's OPTA data company through the club, and they will update the game data anytime and anywhere during the game, while Yang Cheng hopes that the coaching staff will provide him with this set of data at any time, so that he can better analyze the situation of the players.

That's why he's got a notebook!

It is estimated that this should also be the first manager in football to introduce a laptop into the coaching box!

"You still have to pay attention to the fitness of Ronny and Robert, as well as Nesta, who has suffered a lot of injuries at Lazio, and Batistuta's physical condition." Yang Cheng advised.

The players he listed are either injury professionals or not young, and they all need to be careful, Yang Cheng doesn't want the team he has built up with great difficulty to be so depleted by injuries in an instant, especially Barty.

If the God of War introduced at a high price can't play in Florence, then Yang Cheng and Inter Milan will become a joke.

…………

…………

On the same day that Inter Milan started pre-season preparations, other teams in Serie A also began to prepare, Juventus and AC Milan coincidentally chose to play on the 10th, and Lazio and Roma were on the 12th.

Inter Milan's first-team training camp has only 23 players, which should be regarded as the fewest among these teams in Serie A, AC Milan has the largest number of 34, and Juventus, Lazio and Roma are also between 27-30 people, all in order to cope with the third-tier battle in the new season.

However, when a reporter asked about this matter, Yang Cheng announced without hesitation, "Our Inter Milan's transfer market has been closed, and the most important thing for players is strength, not relying on numbers to win, because you can only play 11 players in a game, so it's useless to have more people!" ”

Compared to the large number of people in other clubs, Inter Milan announced the closure of the transfer market early, stabilizing the hearts of players and allowing them to concentrate on preparing for the new season.

On the other hand, other teams are still fighting in the transfer market.

Juventus want to get the decisive killer who helped France win the European Championships, Trezeguet, who is positioned as a central striker, but the French striker, who made a name for himself at the European Championships, is worth a lot of money and is currently on the radar of a number of big clubs. ,

After selling Peruzzi for $22 million, Juventus brought in Champions League goalkeeper Van der Sar from Ajax, but frankly, Yang Cheng is not optimistic about the Dutch goalkeeper at all, because Van der Sar belongs to the kind of player who gets older and better, and now he does not have the outstanding performance and solidity of his later years at Fulham and Manchester United.

But no matter what, Moggie always thinks that he has made a very good deal!

Unlike Juventus, AC Milan seem to be aware of the team's problems in the midfield and backfield, and are actively reforming them.

First, they brought in defender Redondo from Real Madrid, who had just helped Real Madrid win the Champions League, and then they took Shevchenko's advice and brought in his team-mate Kaladze from Dynamo Kyiv, as well as Simic from Inter Milan, Dida from Brazil and Pablo Garcia from relegated Atletico Madrid.

The Blue Eagle Lazio made the biggest move, introducing Rivaldo at a sky-high price, and then successively introducing players such as Poboski, Dino Baggio, Peruzzi, etc., each of which can be said to be a well-known and powerful player, and their arrival has indeed greatly strengthened Lazio's competitiveness.

Eriksen even said in a pre-match interview to the media that Lazio will be stronger and more feared than last season, but he will not mention Nesta's successor.

Lazio's arch-rivals Roma were a big splash in the summer transfer market, and after failing to bring in Batistuta, they immediately brandished silver dollars to capture Parma's Crespo, greatly strengthening their attacking prowess up front.

But that wasn't enough, Capello brought in Argentine left wing-back Samuel and Frenchman Zebina, all of which were signs for him to strengthen the team's defense.

At present, Roma is still staring at Bari youngster Cassano, who scored the goal of Inter Milan in his Serie A debut last season, and it is said that Roma and Juventus are both fighting for him, and the price has been as high as 25 million US dollars, but Barry is firmly sitting on the Diaoyu Tai, shouting out the price of 35 million US dollars.

By the way, Cassano, an unfamiliar guy, jumped out of joy when he heard that he had the opportunity to join the Zebra Army and Rome.

"It's just wonderful! Although I am reluctant to leave my hometown, I still hope to be able to prove myself in a strong team like Juventus and Roma, I am full of confidence, I will prove with a good performance that I am better than Ronaldo! ”

This guy probably still remembers what he was ridiculed by the media before, and always thinks that he is stronger than Ronaldo, I really don't know whether he should say that he is full of self-confidence or too arrogant!

Fiorentina experienced a big upheaval, Italy lost the European Championship final, Zoff was sacked, Trapattoni immediately became the head coach of the Italian national team, and Cecchi Gouri brought in Turkish coach Trim.

Almost the entire Italian media generally believed that Cecci Gouri was leading Fiorentina to a big gamble, that winning he would be praised by the whole world, and that if he lost, he would completely lose the Florentine family that his father had left him.

However, without exception, everyone felt that Fiorentina would not be among the champions in the new season.

The outside world has commented on the transfer of Serie A this season, and Inter Milan has won the best pre-season without exception.

Yang Cheng actually made two shots this season, once for Batistuta and once for Nesta, the former cost Inter Milan $31 million, the latter spent $15 million plus Simeone, but sold Simic and Blanco for $13 million, so Inter Milan spent $33 million in the transfer market this season.

As for Perrotta's $650,000, it was directly ignored by the media because it was too insignificant.

As a result, Inter Milan has not invested much this season, but the overall strength of the club has improved greatly, and it can basically be said that the three lines have been steadily improved, especially the back line and the forward line, and they have made two wonderful transactions in a row.

Compared with AC Milan, Juventus, Lazio and Roma, Inter Milan's transfer investment is the least, but the results are definitely the most impressive, and at the same time the most expected. ,

To paraphrase the comments of the Milan sports newspaper, "If Caesar's previous impression in Kaiserslautern was a thrifty little jasper, then in the two seasons he came to Inter Milan, he let people see his beautiful side, his reinforcements last season were very successful, I believe this season will continue!" ”

Many people even say that Inter Milan used the money to buy Cassano to get Batistuta and Nesta, the former is the main force of the Argentine national team that firmly suppressed Crespo, and the latter is one of the most outstanding central defenders in football today.

The successive largesse has naturally attracted infinite attention, especially the competition for the Serie A title in the new season.

Yang Cheng didn't pay much attention to the rumors from the outside world, he started a semi-closed training camp before the season, and the first two weeks were typical devilish training, and every player was trained to be miserable, even those old courtiers who were already in the team last season.

During this two-week period, Inter Milan took time to participate in two sponsorship events.

One is to participate in Nike's new product launch conference in Milan, at present, Nike's sponsorship cost to Inter Milan is the highest in Serie A, and even in Europe is the top, and correspondingly, the support provided to them by Inter Milan will also be correspondingly improved, including Yang Cheng and players, all participated in their new product launch conference.

In addition to training time, of course!

Another sponsorship event was given to the team's main sponsor, Pirelli tyres, and several Formula 1 Ferrari drivers were also present, including Schumacher, who held a charity event together, and Yang Cheng led the team to participate again.

Because Yang Cheng holds his own image rights, every time he participates in this kind of activity, Inter Milan will give him a share, and other stars are the same, and these things, Yang Cheng is directly handed over to the company registered in Frankfurt, Germany to operate, and he is concentrating on football.

After two weeks of semi-closed training, Inter Milan left for England.

In one week in the UK, Inter Milan will play four warm-up games against Southampton, Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

Although the opponents in each warm-up game are good, except for Portsmouth, they are all Premier League teams, and the schedule is also very tight, but Yang Cheng believes that this kind of warm-up game is good for the team.

The purpose of the warm-up game is not for results, but to examine the team's lineup, not only the main lineup, but also the team's substitute lineup, so Yang Cheng's four games in the UK will not only further run in the main lineup configuration in his mind, but also evaluate the substitute lineup.

In Yang Cheng's words, he doesn't mind losing all the warm-up games, as long as he can gain something, it's worth it!

After training in England, Inter Milan will return to Italy for the Moretti Beer Cup, which will be held in Bari and Juventus this season.

Olympic-age players such as Andrea Pirlo, Zambrotta, Ferrari, Zanetti, Perrotta and Ventola will represent the Italian Olympic team at the Sydney Olympics and will report directly to the national team when they return from the UK.

Among the 23 people in the Italian Olympic team, Inter Milan occupies 6 seats, which is the club that provides the most players for the national Olympic team, which immediately makes Inter Milan's reserve army affirmed by everyone, and they all predict that Yang Cheng's Inter Milan team does not need to worry about the fighting power in the next 10 years.

After that, Inter Milan will play a few more warm-up matches in Italy, basically to let the players adapt to the rhythm of the game, maintain their condition, and prepare for some warm-up matches in the Champions League group stage, and Yang Cheng will also adjust the team's lineup and tactics according to the feedback from these warm-up games.

This will remain the case until mid-September, after the first round of the Champions League group stage begins...... ）
