Super Marshal

After the World Cup and the Calciopoli scandal have settled, the new league season is quietly approaching.

The annual summer transfer market in European football has gradually become more popular.

With Juventus relegated, carving up the Bianconeri has become a hot topic in the summer transfer market.

Barcelona decisively took the lead and won Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta from Juventus.

After the new chairman Calderon came to power, Real Madrid decisively introduced Capello, poached Emerson and Vieira from Juventus, and was determined to build a luxury midfielder that ranks first in Europe.

Especially Vieira, this superstar was pursued hard by former Real Madrid chairman Florentino for many years. Now that Calderon can grab it, it is undoubtedly a big deal.

In addition to these four superstars, Trezeguet, Mancini, Mutu and other players have also decided to leave Juventus, but Del Piero, Nedved and Buffon are determined to stay and help the team. Return to Serie A as soon as possible.

I believe that after this wave of injuries, even if Juventus can return to Serie A in the new season, it will be impossible to return to the top in a short time.

AC Milan's performance last season was not ideal. This season they are determined to reorganize and have sent away Stam, Rui Costa, Abbiati, Amoruso and other players, but the most eye-catching one is Shevchenko.

The Ukrainian striker's performance last season was not ideal. Judging from Gao Han's sharp eyes, Shevchenko has long lost his courage after a serious injury. However, Chelsea still paid AC Milan a whopping A high price of 46 million euros.

However, after selling Shevchenko, the Rossoneri did not seem to intend to increase investment. They only introduced the midfield genius Gourcuff, who is known as Zidane II, from Rennes in Ligue 1 and from Parma. For defender Bonera, the two players spent 3 million euros each, which was exactly a fraction of Shevchenko's transfer fee.

Everyone can see that AC Milan's days of downsizing and dieting have just begun.

As another team that can threaten Inter Milan in the new season, the Giallorossi Roma are also not idle.

The three major reinforcements of Casetti, Pizarro and Vucinic have strengthened Roma's front, middle and back lines.

While competitors such as AC Milan and Roma are increasing their recruitment efforts, as the number one favorite to win the Serie A championship in the new season, Inter Milan has not made any news, which makes many media and fans feel strange.

Because according to media reports, Gao Han returned to Milan early and started working on the new season.

Just at this moment, Tuttosport once again reported that Juventus, who had been relegated to Serie B, wanted to strengthen the midfielder position after selling Emerson and Vieira. aid.

The number one target of the Bianconeri is Zanetti, who is frustrated at Inter Milan.

…………

In the coaching conference room at the Pinetina training base, a projector played a video of a player's game on the screen.

The kicker is young and wears a Juventus zebra striped jersey. He has played many different positions on the court. Among many of his peers, he has performed very well and seems to be a promising talent.

The video ended with a Youth Super Cup match. The opponent was the Inter Milan youth team wearing blue and black jerseys. The Juventus youth team beat the Inter Milan youth team 5-1. This player performed a hat trick. Help the team win the championship.

At this point, the video ends and the lights come on again.

"This player is Claudio Marchisio, twenty years old, from Turin, captain of the Juventus youth team."

"I entered the Juventus youth training camp at the age of eight. He has always played as a forward and is also the top scorer in the youth echelon. Later, the Juventus youth training coach felt that he had good vision on the field, good dribbling, and more characteristics. Suitable for midfield."

"Juventus' youth team has always played a traditional 3-5-2 formation. Marchisio played all five positions in the midfield, so he is very comprehensive. He is a typical Italian midfielder who can run and play. Able to steal, cover a wide area, have excellent one-kick ability, and have high tactical execution ability.”

"Last season, as the captain of the Juventus youth team, he led the team to win the youth league championship, but he never got a chance in the first team. This summer, he was reportedly promoted to the first team and participated in the team's Summer training.”

After Cantarero's introduction, everyone also had a preliminary impression of Marchisio.

The Inter Milan scouting department is also familiar with him, because last season he scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 victory over the Inter Milan youth team in the Super Cup, leaving a deep impression on the Nerazzurri scouts. impression.

But the reason why Gao Han mentioned him in the coaching conference room in front of Moratti, Blanca and Ausilio was because Blanca received a call from Juventus' new manager Seco two days ago. .

The latter proposed on the phone that he hoped Inter Milan could sell Zanetti to Juventus.

The 29-year-old Zanetti once performed well in the Nerazzurri. After Gao Han coached the team, he also got a lot of opportunities. However, as Cambiaso's performance became more and more stable, Zanetti was very disappointed. It is difficult to seize the main position from the Argentine midfielder.

In this case, Zanetti was also moved by the olive branch extended by Juventus.

Gao Han has never liked to force players to stay, and he has no objection if players want to leave. What's more, Zanetti has never been an indispensable member of his plan, but it is not easy for Juventus to get him.

During the negotiations, Gao Han wanted to get Chiellini and hoped that Juventus could send the defender to Inter Milan, but Seco refused. He wanted to exchange other players, but Gao Han was not interested.

Later, when negotiations reached a stalemate, Secco brought up Marchisio.

Gao Han was not familiar with Juventus's youth team, but after glancing at Marchisio with his piercing eyes, he couldn't help but be greatly surprised, because this player's potential was as high as 180, and he was a new student in Italy. Among the players of this generation, he is not inferior to De Rossi and others.

What's even more rare is that his foot skills are quite good, after all, he is a forward.

In this case, Gao Han was a little tempted.

"What do you think?" Gao Han looked at Moratti and Blanca.

The two bosses of the club looked at each other and laughed in unison.

"We all trust your vision. Since you think Marchisio is very good, then do what you want." Moratti said on the spot that he has always supported Gao Han unconditionally and obeyed his words.

Blanca also nodded, "I have no objection, but is it too cheap?"

Everyone immediately burst into laughter.

After all, Zanetti is a player who has been famous for many years. He is 29 years old and in his prime. Although he is not the main player in Inter Milan, he has performed well in many games and can be sold for a sum of money.

If Juventus had traded Chiellini for him, that would have been appropriate, but Marchisio...

"You decide on the negotiation, I have no objection." Gao Han said with a smile.

After Blanca nodded, the matter was settled.

As for whether Juventus can be asked to increase money, it depends on Blanca's negotiation skills.

After negotiating Zanetti's transfer, Gao Han moved on to the next topic.

"I want to adjust the team plan we had last season."

As early as February and March, Gao Han worked out the team's new season strategy with Moratti, Facchetti, Branca and others, which included the decision to introduce a right back.

But now the situation has changed, and Gao Han feels that he must adjust his plan according to the situation.

"As everyone knows, the competition in Serie A in the new season will be easier. Juventus was relegated and AC Milan's strength has also been weakened a lot, so I am very confident about the Serie A in the new season, and the focus of our games will be arranged In the Champions League."

No one was surprised by Gao Han's plan.

In Serie A, Inter Milan's strength is definitely outstanding. If the Nerazzurri only show off their power in Serie A, it would be too unambitious and not a cold style at all.

Whether it is inside the team, fans outside, or even the Football Association and the government, they all hope that Inter Milan can make a difference in the European arena.

But Gao Han's thoughts were obviously more and more long-term than them.

"Judging from the current lineup of our team, the offensive frontcourt configuration is the best. I am considering recalling Pandev from Lazio this season. The frontcourt will have no problem handling multi-line operations."

"In the midfield, we are also very strong, but I hope everyone will pay attention to the fact that Figo and Veron are not young, so I decided to recall Hamsik from Brescia. If I can recall Hamsik from Juventus, If we replace Marchisio and add Yaya Toure, our midfield configuration will be more reasonable."

"As for the defense, it's not a big problem. It's still my old requirement. I want a right back, and I already have a preliminary target. I believe I can fill this vacancy soon."

Judging from Gao Han's words, overall, Inter Milan will not make big moves this summer.

“But for the new season, my plan is to increase the training of young players, give them more opportunities to practice in games, and help them grow up, especially in the midfield, and Bonucci in the defense should also get more opportunities. Opportunity to play.”

Moratti and others were a little stunned after hearing Gao Han's thoughts, but they soon understood.

Inter Milan is currently facing a metabolic problem.

Players such as Figo, Veron, Solari, Cannavaro, Zanetti, Cordoba, Materazzi, Favalli, Recoba and Cruz have basically passed. Or about to turn thirty.

According to general rules, when a player reaches the age of thirty, his condition tends to decline.

Therefore, Gao Han's idea is to take advantage of the current period when the competition pressure in the league is not so great, to introduce a few young players in advance, cultivate them, grow them up as soon as possible, and gradually become the backbone of the team in the next two or three years.

By that time, even if veterans such as Figo and Veron have retreated to the second line, Inter Milan's overall strength will not have much impact, but in the long run, this move is crucial to Inter Milan.

Just like AC Milan next door, the aging population is so serious, but in the new season, they can still only rely on a group of veterans to conquer the world.

Gao Han's move is obviously for the long-term development of Inter Milan.

This also makes Moratti, Blanca and others even more grateful for their decision to invite Gao Han to coach a year ago.

Speaking of ordinary head coaches, they basically just take money to do things. As long as they can complete the performance tasks given by the club during their tenure, they will not pay attention to the team's long-term plan. After all, who knows that they can be in this football club? How long will the team stay?

But Gao Han is now taking the initiative to take risks and promote young players to lay a solid foundation for the club's development in the next few years.

Let me ask, how could Moratti and others not be grateful and admired?
