While the European Cup is in full swing, the new season of European football has quietly begun.
After Guardiola and Begiristain returned to Barcelona, Guardiola officially submitted a team plan for the new season to Barcelona, which was affirmed by many people including Cruyff and Begiristain.
.
Soon, Guardiola naturally became Barcelona's head coach for the new season.
When Barcelona's coaching trio failed to return from China, Mourinho originally had high hopes for joining Camp Nou, but after Barcelona finally chose Guardiola, the Portuguese madman was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Especially when the Catalan media broke the news that Gao Shen actually recommended Guardiola to coach Barcelona, this made Mourinho grit his teeth with anger and his hatred for Gao Shen deepened.
After all, what he has been thinking about for the past six months is coaching Barcelona.
After Barcelona had just confirmed Guardiola, Mourinho immediately agreed to coach Inter Milan.
After Mancini dismissed get out of class, Inter Milan's coaching goal has always been aimed at Gao Shen. Even after Gao Shen politely declined, Angelo Moratti and Blanca and others returned from China, Inter Milan is still
Work hard and hope that Gao Shen will change his mind.
But after Gao Shen decided to renew his contract with Naples, Inter Milan made up its mind and won over Mourinho.
In the words of Gazzetta dello Sport, Mourinho is Gao Shen's replacement.
This is true for Barcelona and the same is true for Inter Milan.
This made Mourinho very dissatisfied. In his first interview with the media after the signing ceremony, he publicly challenged Gao Shen, saying that he could not understand why Napoli won the Serie A double last season.
His angry look was a bit suspicious of his inability to make steel, and he had a connotation of his predecessor Mancini.
The implication is: Lao Man, you are so bad! Look at me next!
At the same time, Mourinho said he could not understand why anyone thought Ibrahimovic was redundant.
"This is a sentence that no professional head coach can say!"
Mourinho emphasized that Ibrahimovic is definitely a top star and an indispensable member of Inter Milan.
These words are undoubtedly aimed at Gao Shen.
Italian media previously revealed that if Gao Shen were to coach Inter Milan, the first player he would win would be Ibrahimovic, because the Swedish center is not the type Gao Shen likes.
Mourinho's statement is obviously aimed at Gao Shen, thinking that he is unprofessional.
The Portuguese madman also continued his previous coaching style in the Premier League. He emphasized, "After my arrival, the situation in Serie A is completely different. Inter Milan will win everything again in the new season!"
Obviously, Mourinho and Moratti are not just talking.
Before and after Mourinho took charge of Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri were constantly making moves.
First, Portuguese midfielder Pele was sold, and then Suazo was loaned out. Solari was also sent back to Argentina, while Mourinho failed to buy out Maniche, allowing the latter to return to Atletico Madrid.
, Brazilian left midfielder Cesar also left the team on a free transfer after his contract expired.
Many main players and important substitute players from last season were wiped out.
Immediately afterwards, Mourinho and Inter Milan started a buy-buy-buy purchasing model.
Thirteen million euros were spent to bring in Roberto Mancini from Roma; sixteen million euros were spent to bring in Muntari from Premier League Portsmouth; twenty-three million euros were spent to sign Portuguese winger Quares from Porto.
horse.
Later, Jimenez was bought out and Coutinho was signed. However, due to his age, Coutinho would not be able to join the team until 2010.
…
After AC Milan luckily qualified for the Champions League last season with the "help" of Naples, Ancelotti carried out a large-scale reorganization of the team.
Players such as Gilardino, Oliveira, Gourcuff, Cafu and Ronaldo left the team one after another, but the Rossoneri introduced Ronaldinho from Barcelona and signed Flamini from Arsenal.
, as well as players such as Zambrotta, Borriello, Antonini, Shevchenko and Senderos.
AC Milan is bound to have a completely new look in the new season.
…
After trying unsuccessfully to sign Cavani, Juventus signed Brazilian center Amauri from Palermo for a high price of 23 million euros. This is also an important signing for Juventus to strengthen the team's offense.
Later, he signed Danish midfielder Paulsen from Sevilla for 10 million euros.
Coupled with the returning young players such as Giovinco and Marchisio, Juventus' strength in the new season has also been significantly improved.
In comparison, Roma's transfer situation is less than ideal, and the Red Wolves obviously have no money to invest.
Although they sold Mancini Jr. at a high price and then sold Giuly and Curci one after another, Roma did not invest more. They only signed Mene from Monaco, Baptista from Real Madrid, and Liverpool
Riise was signed.
The Giallorossi has little net investment in the transfer market.
Of course, in comparison, Naples' investment seems much shabby.
Although it cost 8 million euros to sign Maggio, they sold Domic and Garrick and signed an unknown player, Benatia. This left Naples with a net investment of only 2 million euros.
A situation like Naples is actually fine, because in Serie A, there are teams like Udinese that profit from the transfer market. This is also a typical team that focuses on cultivating young players.
The true situation.
…
It can be clearly seen from the transfer market that Serie A is really in decline.
At least in terms of investment, it is far behind the Premier League and La Liga. At best, it is slightly better than the Bundesliga.
However, with the emergence of the subprime mortgage crisis, teams in the Premier League and La Liga have also begun to cut back and diet.
The only ones who don't feel the crisis are Real Madrid, who are still chasing AC Milan's Kaká, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, and Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas.
But with the gradual exposure of Chairman Calderon and General Manager Mijatovic, European football has gradually seen the real details of these two people. The more successful the stars are, the less willing they are to get involved.
God knows, what outrageous things can these two people do?
Especially in the past two years, Real Madrid's golden brand is obviously not as shining as it used to be.
Although he can still win the La Liga championship, his reputation is not even as good as when Gao Shen was coaching in 2006.
…………
…………
Gao Shen has always been very concerned about summer training, so the team's summer training day is scheduled for July 2nd.
This is also considering that many players will report to the Olympic team in August, and the team needs a whole month to reserve physical fitness and polish tactics.
But before the players arrived, Gao Shen first welcomed an assistant.
France's bald guy, Zidane.
After Gao Shen called and threatened to expose his failure to keep his word, Zidane finally arrived too late.
This guy even shamelessly said that he was kidnapped by Gao Shen.
"If you say that, then I really have to defend myself in front of the media. It's better to explain the matter clearly to avoid misunderstandings." Gao Shen said in a tone that was very considerate of Zidane.
The French bald man was immediately speechless.
I'm just saying, complain, why should you take it seriously?
Okay, no more, I won’t say anymore, that’s all right?
Zidane is a big star, but in the coaching field, he is a rookie.
The only coaching experience I had was in Naples, where I was pushed to the top by a senior coach and taught the players a few tricks. Later, Cavani and others felt that Zidane benefited them a lot in terms of carving out technical details, but that was all.
.
Therefore, Gao Shen actually did not plan to pay him much salary.
"In my case, you are just an intern, with your tail between your legs, work more and talk less, do you understand?" Gao Shen said in the tone of a leader lecturing a newly hired graduate.
Zidane almost went berserk.
Damn, do you really think of me as a rookie?
"Believe it or not, I quit!" Zidane also became angry.
"Okay, if you leave now, I will contact the media tonight for interviews. Tomorrow you will see news about your untruthfulness in major newspapers. I believe the media around the world will be interested, and the fans
I will definitely get to know you again.”
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen deliberately clicked his tongue twice, "I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
That vivid tone made everyone present, including Zidane himself, burst into laughter.
The French bald man came over and wanted to hit him with Materazzi's hammer.
Fortunately, Gao Shen was prepared and quickly retreated.
We haven’t seen each other for a long time, but after a joke, Gao Shen still arranged his work seriously.
Zidane mostly learns from Gao Shen and is also responsible for training the technical details of the players. In this regard, he is Borrell's assistant, who is the team's technical coach.
Gao Shen obviously wants to train Zidane as a future head coach, so he is determined to keep him by his side.
One of the important reasons why Zidane was hesitant and reluctant to work in Naples was that his wife and children were all in Madrid, so he had no choice but to come to Naples alone.
Let me ask, who is willing to do this job if there is no shortage of money?
The reason why he was "intimidated" by Gao Shen in the end was actually because he wanted to learn some coaching skills.
Especially after seeing Guardiola coaching Barcelona, he became even more excited.
Gao Shen, on the other hand, without saying a word, directly arranged a room for him at home and asked him to live with him. At the same time, he asked the club to arrange a car and forcibly recruited Zidane as a free driver.
"Now I really doubt that you asked me to be your assistant. You must have planned ahead of time to ask me to work as a free laborer for you!" Zidane looked regretful as if he had mistakenly entered a pirate ship.
But it's too late to regret.
After Zidane arrived, Gao Shen made a clear division of labor for the coaching staff. After meeting to discuss various matters for summer training, everything in Naples was ready.
On July 2nd, the summer training camp officially started.
But this year is different from usual, all players must report on July 1st.
The newly introduced black technology in Naples is officially launched!
