"The purpose of this press conference today is to tell everyone that our Inter Milan transfer market this season has been closed and there will be no more players coming in and out, and I hope that the hype about us can come to an end!"

On the day of the team's training camp, Yang Cheng held a press conference at the Pinettina base to solemnly announce the incident.

The World Cup was so hot that the whole world watched it, and in this wave, no one noticed that a very humble transfer was completed between Inter Milan and Manchester United, with Silvestre moving to the Red Devils for 10 million euros.

This transfer was only after Ferguson personally called Yang Cheng and said a lot of good things, so that Caesar took the top spot, and the latter nodded and agreed, so that when Ferguson was interviewed by reporters, he scolded Yang Cheng for no reason for being a bastard who had no grace and was adjacent to the newspaper, which made the reporter wonder.

Yang Cheng is very realistic now, he used the money from the sale of Silvester to renovate the Pinettina and Interrello bases, and at the same time spent 500,000 euros to bring in Giorgio Chiellini from Livorno, but he has not had time to talk to Chiellini for the time being.

Both transfers were completed during the World Cup, and the outside media were busy hyping the World Cup, and the transfer of Inter Milan was all a passing pass, if you don't read the newspaper very carefully, or pay attention to the fans on the club's official website, you probably won't know that the team has completed two transfers.

As for the transfer of Ronaldo, who is very hyped by the outside world and is almost ironclad, with Yang Cheng deciding to stay in office, Real Madrid also received a call from Figer, and regretfully admitted in the face of the media that the plan to introduce aliens was declared bankrupt.

'Ronaldo is a fantastic star but unfortunately he can't come to the Bernabeu for the time being and he told us through his agent that he would prefer to continue playing under Caesar and we can only give us blessings for that.

Fiorentino's superstar strategy has been seriously challenged, with Ronaldo and Nesta both announcing their stays, and years of efforts to poach Yang Cheng to no avail, Florentino looked depressed in an interview.

Real Madrid are said to have shifted their focus to Liverpool's Michael Owen and Manchester United's David Beckham after their unsuccessful pursuit of Ronaldo, while they are preparing to bring in Vieri from Lazio and Cannavaro from Parma to replace Ronaldo and Nesta and strengthen the team's forward and defensive lines.

But when he got the news, Yang Cheng wondered in his heart, is Cannavaro the same as Nesta?

No matter how you look at it, they are two completely different types of central defenders, which one does Real Madrid need?

Then, he shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

……

A press conference can help the team reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble, and it can also allow the team to prepare for the game with peace of mind.

This summer, in order to give the team a wholehearted preparation environment, Yang Cheng carefully selected and finally selected the small town of Pinzolo in the Rendner Valley of the Lentino region as the team's summer training camp.

Located at an altitude of almost 800 metres above sea level, this beautiful town is a famous ski resort in winter, and the cool climate in summer, with valleys and snow from the Alpine peaks, makes the summer in this town ideal for the team.

In addition to these objective conditions, the local Royal Hotel also welcomes Inter Milan to stay, saying that it will do everything possible to cooperate with the team's preparation, and at the same time give great convenience, and there is a stadium and training ground near the hotel, all facilities are very perfect, and there is a modern gym, which can be described as an excellent training location.

From finalizing the training ground to formulating a complete set of summer preparation plans, Yang Cheng almost single-handedly finalized, and then Tim Hank, Chris Schmidt and others went to Pinzolo Town in advance after the vacation to set up, such as dividing the training area, tidying up the training ground, etc., which need to be handled by professional Inter Milan coaches themselves.

Drawing on the reasons for the team's frequent injuries last season, Yang Cheng decided to give more rest to those players who participated in the World Cup this season, including Ronaldo, Emerson and Lucio, who participated in the World Cup final, can take a vacation until mid-July, that is, they have two weeks off after the World Cup. For example, there was a serious shortage of players in the early stage, so Yang Cheng transferred ten outstanding second-team players from the youth team to follow the first team to Pinzolo and let them follow the first team for training. …………

After the World Cup, the summer training camp kicked off, but Serie A broke a fierce news.

The Kragnotti family will auction off the shares of Lazio FC, which means that Lazio, once a strong contender for the Serie A title, will be on the verge of bankruptcy, which is undoubtedly very demoralizing news for the Serie A team.

Back then, the Serie A mini-World Cup was built on the basis of an unscrupulous money-burning game, and almost every team was star-studded, but behind that, there was no rule of money burning and fighting, and now, they are beginning to suffer from the bitter fruits of the crazy games of the past.

Lazio is only one of the most serious teams, and other teams including Roma, Parma, Perugia, Fiorentina and other teams have been caught in financial difficulties.

It can be said that the new season of the entire Serie A looks very gloomy, and countless people are discussing that the mini-World Cup is likely to sink because of this.

Even darker is the sale of tickets.

If Lazio's suspicion of bankruptcy led to the sale of less than 5,000 tickets in the first week of the team's first round of season ticket sales, then it is surprising that season ticket sales for other teams are sluggish.

Among the traditional giants of Serie A, Juventus's sales have fallen a bit from last season, from the Bianconeri, which began sales on July 1, to now sell more than 10,000 season tickets, Roma is in a similar situation, and AC Milan has declined, selling 9,600 season tickets.

Ironically, Inter Milan, who share a stadium with AC Milan, are far ahead in pre-season sales, deeply affected by the World Cup wave, and the unbeaten record that continued from last season, coupled with the new season round of Caesar's job hopping hype, and then Yang Cheng announced that he would stay in office, which has greatly boosted the club's season ticket sales.

Also from July 1, Inter Milan sold 24,200 season tickets in the first week, far ahead of other rivals, and it is not difficult to see Inter Milan's strong market appeal.

Strength aside, the most impressive Serie A ticket sales were made by promoted Maregina, who sold 23,000 season tickets a week, just behind Inter Milan, but most importantly, their home stadium capacity of only 26,000 seats is a surprise to the appeal of Reggina in the minds of local fans.

According to media analysis, the reason for Reggina's hot sales is that he is the only Serie A team in southern Italy, which makes fans in Napoli, Bari and other regions run to buy Reggina season tickets, which caused Reggina's sales to be hot.

Another promoted club, Modena, also sold 13,000 tickets, half of their attendance.

Last season's dark horse Chievo has also seen good season ticket sales this season, which is expected to exceed 10,000 because of the relegation of rivals Verona, which has made many neutral fans watch Serie A games by buying Chievo tickets.

The Italian media generally pay more attention to season ticket sales, and they are very sad to find that this season's Serie A season ticket sales have dropped a lot compared to the same period last year, and the Serie A transfer market this season is very sluggish, and there have been no big transfers, which is also a very important reason for the unsatisfactory season ticket sales.

Compared with the sluggish ball market in Serie A, the Premier League and La Liga are generally high-profile.

La Liga's Real Madrid has always coveted Ronaldo, hyped it very much, and after losing the aliens, they began to pay attention to midfield superstars such as Vieri, Owen, and Beckham.

At the same time, there are Cannavaro and other backline players, which can be described as predators in the transfer market, making the entire La Liga transfer market boom.

Although Yang Cheng does not agree with Real Madrid's approach, he has to admit that their strategy with Barcelona in the transfer market has greatly increased the attention rate of La Liga.

Barcelona are looking to bring in a strong centre-forward, and after buying Riquelme and loaning Mendieta, they have set their sights on Dutch striker and Chelsea's Jusselbaink Hasselbaink.

Like La Liga, the transfer market in the Premier League is also very hot, Manchester United has continued to target Rio Ferdinand after bringing in Silvestre, especially after the failure to compete for the new Blanco Mex, it has accelerated the introduction of Ferdinand, and at the same time, Ferguson has also poached central defender Pique from Barcelona to prepare for the future. Arsenal continue to strengthen their squad, Brazilian defenders Gilberto, Nishioka and other players have joined the Gunners this summer, Wenger hopes to continue to lead the LinkedIn Premier League in the new season, especially now that the French gang is getting stronger. With the strong operation of the Premier League and La Liga, Serie A is very sluggish, and the only bright spot is that the bankrupt Lazio will definitely not be able to retain the superstars in the team, Vieri, Rivaldo and many other stars have begun to be tempted by opponents, depending on where they will switch.

In response to the disturbances from the outside world, Inter Milan closed the door after coming to the Pinzolo training base, blocking all the wind and rain out of this calm town and concentrating on training.

…………

…………

When he first arrived at Inter Milan, Chiellini seemed uncomfortable.

Everything here is better than Livorno, there is a shower area in the dressing room, there is a separate wardrobe, there is a special masseur, and some famous brand products provided by the sponsors, everything is neatly arranged in the wardrobe before training every day, and the players don't have to do anything, just concentrate on training.

These are all things that Livorno does not have.

But there are also a lot of things that seem like a hassle, such as having to get a physical test every day, having a psychiatrist do a psychological assessment every now and then, and a whole bunch of things that you don't have to do at all in Livorno, but here, everyone is meticulously done.

The newcomer Chiellini didn't seem timid at all, and he asked the old captain Bergomi directly, "Why is it so troublesome?" Our bodies are not injured or sick, so why do we check all day long? ”

Belgomi replied with a smile, "You'll know what it does when you need it!" ”

Chiellini doesn't believe it, but everybody, even the kids who have been promoted through the academy seem to be used to it, he can't be a nail man.

But these are just trivial things that can be used to, but the last thing he can get used to is Yang Cheng's requirements for him.

Centre-back!

"Boss, I haven't played at centre-back!" As soon as Chiellini heard the request, he said directly.

"Then get used to it from now on!" Yang Cheng didn't think it was angry at all.

As early as his first day at Inter Milan, captain Nedved told him that he had to say anything and that everyone likes to be honest here.

"But I don't know how to defend it!" Chiellini frowned.

"Then start learning now!" Yang Cheng still insisted, and then added: "You can learn from Nesta, learn from Lucio, or learn from the old captain Bergomi, they are all your learning objects, I believe that you will become an excellent central defender, the world's first-class central defender in the future!" ”

Chiellini has always been a very skeptical person, and he was also very skeptical of Yang Cheng letting him play as a central defender, but Yang Cheng's last sentence, he felt a kind of recognition.

Osvaldo Yakoni says he doesn't have what it takes to be a regular player for Livorno, but Yang Cheng has told him he can be the world's best centre-back, and no doubt he prefers to believe in the latter, not just because he's Caesar.

But his performance in training was terrible, full of holes, and even the youth team was much better than him.

"Hey, Alessandro, from today onwards, he'll be taught to you!" Yang Cheng pointed at Chiellini and shouted at Nesta.

"Boss, it's hard!" Nesta shouted from the training ground that he and Chiellini were on-field partners.

The crowd burst into laughter, and Chiellini almost fell headlong.

"I know it's difficult, it's not difficult, I won't give it to you, when you train him to be as elegant as you, it's qualified!" Yang Cheng shouted with a smile.

"Boss, why don't you just sell me!" Nesta collapses.

There was another burst of laughter on the training ground, and Yang Cheng laughed and scolded, and the training continued.

Chiellini's defense is very fierce and savage, it can be seen that he does not know defensive skills at all, nor does he have any sense of defense, he frequently fouls, his movements are also very large, his concentration is not concentrated, his sense of position is lacking, and he is always blocked by attacking players, such a defender is destined to be a tragedy.

"I don't understand, why do you think he's a centre-back?" On the sidelines, Bergomi shook his head and smiled bitterly. As a famous centre-back for many years, Bergomi swears that he does not see even the slightest bit of potential as a centre-back from Chiellini, yes, he is very physical, fast, and left-footed, but is a qualified centre-back?

"You have to believe, Giuseppe, that not everyone in this world will shine their best side as soon as they debut, it's like some dusty pearl that only shines brightly when we wipe off the dust on it." Bergomi pouted, he wouldn't say anything like that.

"Giuseppe, you can't tell him!" Tim Hank smiled, "But you have to obey him, that's how Vanney, Veron, Frings and others came, as well as Pirlo, Emerson, Deco and others in the team, they were all made up by him so hard!" ”

Bergomi shrugged his shoulders, he felt that he didn't understand how Yang Cheng saw people, in short, he still felt that Chiellini was not a suitable material for a central defender, and even with his current strength, it was a question whether he could meet the requirements of Inter Milan's first team.

At least from the training ground, Chiellini was very embarrassed to defend Martins, exhausted by Martins' own speed, and was so disturbed by Ruud van Nistelrooy's running that he couldn't find the north, and couldn't form an effective defense at all, if it wasn't Nesta standing next to him, I'm afraid the team he represented would have been finished long ago.

Yang Cheng likes to engage in this kind of internal competition during the training camp, 3V3, 5V5 or 7V7, the venue is small, which allows the players to cooperate with the technical and tactical drills in a small space, and strengthen the players' reaction when they encounter pressing and pinching on the court.

But Chiellini seems to be full of loopholes, he is more like a standard assembly line product under the Italian youth training system, or rather, he is not the type of player that Yang Cheng appreciates in his bones, and everyone can't understand why Yang Cheng thinks he has the talent to become a top central defender.

As he spoke, he saw Ruud van Nistelrooy easily shake off Chiellini in a midfield interspersed run, and Deco's pass behind him directly tore through the entire backline and came to the feet of the Dutchman, who did not adjust in the slightest, and took advantage of the situation to shoot a shot that directly penetrated the goal guarded by Buffon.

The whole goal was like flowing water, very hearty and beautiful, and was applauded by everyone on the scene.

And Chiellini, who was in charge of keeping an eye on him, was out of breath, and he couldn't understand why Fanny looked so calm and he had to work so hard?

Within a few minutes, in a defense in the box, Chiellini learned to behave, he firmly pressed Ruud van Nistelrooy, pressed him with his body, and wanted to cut off his connection with the periphery, especially when the ball entered the box, Chiellini was ready to intercept it, but Ruud van Nistelrooy made a pick in advance, and the ball went over Chiellini's head.

When he landed again, Ruud van Nistelrooy had calmly volleyed and scored again!

This time, even Yang Cheng on the sidelines applauded Ruud van Nistelrooy's excellent ball skills, the Dutch and Ronaldo cooperated more, both his awareness and judgment of the ball path have improved very obviously, his skills are already very good, especially the stoppage, which allows him to do some technical moves very calmly.

After the goal, Vanney walked past Chiellini with a smile and reached out to scratch Chiellini's hair, "Boy, you're still very tender, take your time!" ”

Chiellini stared at the Dutchman's back depressedly, helplessly deflated.

Is this what the world's top stars are capable of?

He felt like a rookie who had been abused! ）
