293 I'm Getting Married!(1/2)

293 I'm getting married!

On September 19, Inter Milan was at the Meazza Stadium and defeated Sparta Prague 1-0 with Batistuta's goal, winning the first victory in the group stage of the European Champions League in the new season.

Although he won the ball, Yang Cheng was not very satisfied with the team's performance, especially in the midfield.

On September 23, Inter Milan challenged Torino away, and Ronaldo scored the only goal in the game.

On September 26, in the second leg of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan challenged Moscow Spartak away. With the outstanding performances of Deko and Nedved, Batistuta scored twice, and Van Nie added icing on the cake to take away a 3-0 victory from Moscow.

However, the score cannot reflect the stalemate on the scene, especially when Moscow Spartak, who was fighting at home, used more aggressive and lethal defensive tactics to deal with Inter Milan, Inter Milan's offense fell into a passive position.

On September 30, Inter Milan welcomed Bologna at home.

Like all the visiting teams who came to Meazza Stadium, Bologna also adopted a defensive counterattack tactic, first based on defense and then plotting a counterattack. However, except for being scored by Nedved's long-range shot at the beginning, Bologna effectively freezes Inter Milan's offense for most of the time.

With five consecutive victories at the beginning, the entire Serie A was shocked by Inter Milan's strong strength.

After two weeks of national team match day, Inter Milan reunited to welcome Verona.

Although South American players such as Ronaldo and Batistuta were refrigerated by Yang Cheng to deal with the mid-week European Champions League, they still defeated Verona at home and won six consecutive Serie A wins with the unstoppable goal momentum.

When he was away from Feyenoord in the middle of the week, although Zanetti's mistake caused Inter Milan to concede the goal after the start, Batistuta's scored twice soon reversed the score for Inter Milan to 2:1, defeating Feyenoord away and winning three consecutive wins in the Champions League group stage, leaving only one step away from qualifying in the group.

In the 7th round of the league, Inter Milan defeated Udinese 1:0 away.

In the fourth leg of the Champions League, Inter Milan defeated Moscow Spartak 5:1 at home, and Batistuta scored a hat trick, becoming the best scorer in the Champions League, taking the lead in breaking out of Group H as the first in the group.

Throughout September and October, Inter Milan maintained an unbeaten record in all competitions, especially in the Champions League and Serie A, which achieved outstanding results of 4 consecutive victories and 7 consecutive victories respectively, which immediately made all the media comments from pre-season fulfilled.

"Who can beat Inter Milan?"

"Who can stop Inter Milan?"

"Inter Milan reserves the championship throne of the Serie A this season?!"

Media around the world have begun to exaggerate and hype. They may have various purposes, but without exception, they all agree that Inter Milan is one of the most powerful teams in the world today.

Although, under this series of halos, Inter Milan still has some shadows. For example, Pirlo, who was thrown into the cold palace by Yang Cheng this season, has played zero playing time so far. For example, Emerson was injured in previous national team games and his condition has been affected to a certain extent, such as...

But with Inter Milan's strong overall strength, these unfavorable news has been covered up.

Unlike Inter Milan's strength, the Zebra Legion's recent situation seems a bit sad.

In the early stage of the league, Lippi's team could play beautiful football with Inter Milan, but after the madness of the first three rounds, the next one was to draw Lecce 0:0, lose 0:2 to Roma at home, 1:1 to Fiorentina, 3:3 to draw Turin at home, 0:0 to Bologna.

Although Juventus' overall strength is very strong, especially with the addition of Touram, the defense line has been consolidated and Van der Sar's performance has also improved, but after letting out main stars such as Zidane and Inzaghi, their attack power has not been filled, which is a very important reason why this team draws three consecutive times.

The same problem is Roma. Capello's team performed very unstable this season. They can not only defeat Lecce 5:1, defeat Lazio 2:0, defeat Juventus 2:0, or lose 0:2 to Piacenza, and draw Perugia 0:0, and have a very ups and downs.

The reason is that the team's midfield organization problem has not been solved.

This also made the transfers about Pirlo even more enthusiastic. Even newspapers in Rome and Turin have begun news battles, and they want to hype Pirlo into a player who is the savior of these two teams.

The problems of Juventus and Rome may be traced to follow, but the problems of AC Milan are much more troublesome.

5:2 home wins Fiorentina and 2:0 home wins Lazio. This is indeed the result that AC Milan fans who have invested heavily this season are willing to see, but Trim's team is very powerful at critical moments, but usually becomes the largest team in the Serie A championship team.

1:3 away to Perugia, 0:1 away to Turin, and the others were all draws. This makes people wonder why the luxurious offensive phalanx formed by offensive players such as Dainzagi, Shevchenko, Rui Costa, and Sidorf cannot win the ball?

…………

“I need more time!”

In Galliani's office, Trim bluntly expressed his only requirement for the current situation.

Indeed, AC Milan won two games in the first seven rounds of the league. This is definitely not the report card that a team that is determined to win the championship should show. Trim also knows this very well. Therefore, when Galliani looked for him, he had already thought about the wording of dealing with it.

"You should be very clear, Adriano, I have different tactics from Zachelloni. The team's problems have been alleviated at present, the defense has begun to become firm, and the next step is to change the offense, and I need more time."

Serie A is not La Liga, and Serie A teams pay more attention to overall skills and tactics than any team in a league.

If it is in La Liga, you can put players such as Inzagi, Shevchenko, Sedolv, Rui Costa on the court and you can win the opponent at will, because the teams in La Liga do not pay attention to targeted defense at all, but Serie A is different.

One of the important reasons why Serie A's defense is sharp is that the teams here will arrange defense in a targeted manner and use the most effective way in the world to limit your players' personal performance. Therefore, no matter how big your star is, it is useless, and you still can't win the ball.

This is also a very special problem encountered by AC Milan at present. The defense is good, but the offense is not strong.

The offense and defense of a team are one, and the offense is equivalent to a defensive barrier. Once the pressure applied by the offense is not enough, the pressure on the defensive end will be greater. This is the crux of AC Milan.

When Yang Cheng was in charge of Inter Milan, he encountered this problem and was almost on the verge of being dismissed, but he eventually ended up with the pressure and led Inter Milan out of the quagmire, achieving great glory for two consecutive seasons.

It is precisely because of Yang Cheng’s previous lessons that Trim was able to survive in AC Milan until now.

As the manager of a veteran Serie A team, Galliani naturally understood what Trim said and nodded constantly, "Then what solution do you have?"

This question is a big test for Trim!

"I need Pirlo!" Trim said with great certainty.

Galliani was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down and a wry smile appeared, "You should know, this is difficult!"

Trim nodded, "I know, but there are really few players like Pirlo right now."

"There are very few head coaches like Yang Cheng!" Galliani reminded, "He said that if Pirlo is a non-sale product, then it must be a non-sale product. He is an unreasonable bastard. He would rather let Pirlo be on the bench than let him transfer. Do you have a way?"

In the past two months, the outside world has been hyping up about Pirlo. Serie A teams such as Juventus, Rome and AC Milan all have a special liking for this player, but even when Yang Cheng faces Rome's sky-high price of up to 25 million US dollars, he only has one answer, not for sale!

From the perspective of a club operator, Galliani really finds it difficult to understand Yang Cheng's thoughts and calculations, but from the perspective of a football practitioner, he has to admit that Yang Cheng did the right thing.

The whole world knows that Pirlo is a treasure house. If he lets go, no matter how high the price is, it will be a loss, because it is weakening himself and strengthening his opponents, so Yang Cheng refused to do this deal.

Of course, there is another point, although Pirlo has become bad with Yang Cheng, he has never revealed his intention to leave the team. When he was interviewed by the media, the most common sentence he expressed was that he respected the head coach's decision.

If he was clamoring for a transfer like Panucci and Ventola, Yang Cheng might have let it go.

Pirlo and Yang Cheng are now like two brothers who are having a quarrel. They are unwilling to speak or reconcile, but they are still brothers. No one will take the initiative to step out of that bottom line and are waiting for an opportunity to completely solve the problem.

"We will actively talk to Kaiserslautern about the transfer situation of Barack and Kyle. Both players also have strong midfield organization skills, as well as Manchester United's Peron, but it also takes time!" Galliani shook his head in distress and sighed.

The first two Germans are currently being chased by many wealthy clubs in Germany, including Bayern Munich, and Beckenbauer even intends to directly package Kaiserslautern's entire midfield and frontcourt, saying that they want to transplant Yang Cheng's crystal to Bayern Munich, which makes it difficult for foreign teams to win the favor of German players.

The reason is to say that it is ashamed, just one word, the transfer payment is arrears.

Foreign teams buy German players and pay installments, the risk is too high, and the arrears are very serious. Inter Milan used cash to introduce Emerson, and Deco and other players were also cash. Otherwise, the German team would rather let their players switch to Bayern Munich.

Strengthening the strength of competitors is undoubtedly the lightest compared to financial difficulties.

"Then I'll wait for your good news!" Trim said lightly.

He was very dissatisfied with the results of Galliani's transfer market this season, because Pirlo, who he valued the most, did not come.

Strictly speaking, Inzaghi is not very effective, and Rui Costa is his personal choice. Since Trim decided to take charge of AC Milan, he knew that neither Gattuso nor Ambrosini were the kind of trustworthy midfield organizers. After Albertini's state slipped sharply, Rui Costa had to undertake a lot of organizational tasks, which was sacrificing the team's offense.

However, the proud Turks did not understand that he was dissatisfied with the team, and weren’t Galliani and others also dissatisfied with him?

"There is one thing I have to remind you, Fatih!" Galliani called Trim who was about to walk out.

The latter turned around and looked at the bare general manager without saying a word.

"Just just now, the Prime Minister called me and he will watch the game on the spot in the upcoming derby battle. He hopes to see a victory!" Galliani said tactfully.

This is a signal to him. It would be fine if he lost other games, but it is a key battle against Inter Milan. You must not lose. If you lose, you will know the outcome!

Trim looked at Galliani deeply, said nothing, turned around and walked out.

Watching him leave, Galliani patted his forehead, "It's so fucking hard!"

His immediate boss was just a guy with little character. He said he wanted to take charge of the team with an iron fist and bring results, so he welcomed Trim. But he felt that after Trim came to the team, he said that the players complained, which would damage his image...

Galliani, who is sandwiched in the middle, is actually not easy to do!

Thinking of this, Galliani called Berlusconi again.

"Hey, Mr. Prime Minister, yes, I've talked to Trim, yes, I believe he understands what I mean!"

Galliani was like a good baby in front of Berlusconi, and there was nothing he could do about it. The entire AC Milan was the property of Prime Minister Belarus, and Gaba could only be regarded as working for him.

"Well, yes, I have contacted Ancelotti. Yes, he is willing to replace Trim and take charge of AC Milan, but he also has a requirement for the team's winter break signings. He hopes to get Pirlo, just like Trim. But now it seems that Yang Cheng's crazy man will definitely not sell it. It is very difficult to get Pirlo."

"Damn it!" Berlusconi was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

In the past two seasons, Yang Cheng has become the person he hates the most, but he is the AC Milan head coach he wants to win the most.

"Let's do it first. Keep contacting Pirlo's agent more. I heard that he has been neglected by Inter Milan and Caesar recently. I took the opportunity to win over him more. Also, let Philip blew more with him and poach him first. As long as he is moved, it will be much easier to handle Inter Milan."

Berlusconi is familiar with this poaching strategy. "As for Trim, he's better be able to perform in the derby battle, otherwise, he'll trade Ancelotti for him!"

Galliani immediately agreed that he did not have much say in such matters.

In the tide of thunderous heavy metal music, Pirlo slowly walked into the bar.

The lights in the whole bar were very dim, with only the swaying colorful lights sweeping through every inch of the bar. There were also many men and women on the dance floor starting to dance together, and outside there was a group of people sitting at tables, with their legs dancing to the rhythm of the music.

The atmosphere is really good, so this is the best and most popular bar in Milan City, and it is also the favorite place for stars such as Inzagi to visit. It is also a place where countless young girls gather in order to become famous in one fell swoop.

"Hi, Francesco!" Pirlo soon arrived at their most common seat, and Koko sat opposite him.

"Why is it so late, Andrea?" Koko asked casually as he drank.
