Chapter 139 A Tale of Two Cities

Cassano's move to Inter Milan has become a hot topic among Italian media and fans.

Most Italian fans are happy that Cassano has returned to the Italian arena. The bad boy they love to hate is back.

Donadoni, the head coach of the Italian national team, welcomes this. Cassano's wasted time in Madrid caused the Italian national team to temporarily close the door to Cassano. Now, Cassano has returned to Serie A.

And it is the strongest and most mature team in Serie A currently, playing under the leadership of champion coach Liang, which is very helpful for Cassano to regain his form.

Leon also made careful considerations in signing Cassano. Cassano will become an important addition to Inter Milan's front line. His technical characteristics are very different from Adriano, and also different from Aguero and Diego Milito. This

He is considered to be the most talented star in Italian football, and his football intelligence in the frontcourt will help enrich Inter Milan's offensive routine.

Three days later, Inter Milan went to Hamburg, Germany, and played a warm-up match with Hamburg. Diego Milito and Modric's goals helped Inter Milan win 2-1 away from home. Cassano came on as a substitute at the end of the game.

He made his debut in the Inter Milan shirt.

After the game, Li Ang received a fax from assistant coach Banderas that surprised him.

This is an inquiry and purchase fax for Marco Borriello, the 25-year-old Italian striker from Inter Milan.

There is nothing surprising about Borriello being pursued by other teams. Since Borriello was poached from AC Milan by Li Ang in the summer of 2005, he has made great progress in the past two seasons at Inter Milan.

In the limited playing time, he occasionally performed well. Therefore, he still won the favor of some teams.

However, what surprised Li Ang was that the quotation came from AC Milan, Inter Milan's rival in the same city, and AC Milan was also Borriello's old club.

Inter Milan's forward line currently has five players: Adriano, Diego Milito, Aguero, Borriello and Cassano. It seems a little redundant, but considering that Inter Milan needs to fight on three fronts

, so the configuration of five players is not bad.

Moreover, Li Ang still admires Borriello. This player has always had a good attitude towards the game and is very pragmatic. No head coach would dislike such a player.

Therefore, Li Ang directly rejected AC Milan's purchase request for Borriello.

*************

Although Inter Milan and AC Milan are rivals in the same city, the hatred between the two teams off the court is much weaker than other rivals in the same city. The 'exchanges' between the players of the two teams are relatively frequent.

However, looking at the player exchanges between AC Milan and Inter Milan at the top and bottom of the window, there is no doubt that AC Milan took advantage of the transaction. In 2001, the 22-year-old rookie Peele, who could not play the main role in Inter Milan,

Luo defected to AC Milan at a low price of 10 million euros. As a result, he played an extremely important role in AC Milan's continuous championships in the years to come, and was selected by UEFA as one of the "20 players who changed the history of football."

One, he is currently the core midfielder of the Italian national team and won the "Bronze Ball Award" in the 2006 World Cup. Brocchi, who joined AC Milan in the same year as him, did not have an immediate effect, but Lu Yao

Brocchi, a late bloomer with great talent, gradually played an important role in AC Milan. When Brocchi joined AC Milan, it was in exchange with Argentinian Gugli - a name that has been forgotten for many years.

Similar things continued. In the summer of 2002, the two clubs made several more deals. AC Milan loaned to Barcelona and became the main force of Koko, and joined Inter Milan. In exchange for the sudden inspiration under Cooper, But Seedorf, who does not have the main position, seems to have made money for Inter Milan, but in fact, Seedorf has been the main player of AC Milan in the following five years and helped the team win two Champions Leagues and one. After winning the league championship, Keke's career quickly came to an end.

At the same time, Simic was exchanged for Mitte Davala. The exchange between the two substitutes seemed to be nothing, but Simic played an important role in the 2002/2003 season when AC Milan won the European Champions Cup, and he is still the main substitute to this day. The Turk was quickly given up without playing any games at Inter Milan.

Previously, the Milan duo was still very open in terms of player transactions. Inter Milan even bought Helvig but loaned the Dane to AC Milan for two consecutive years as an act of goodwill. However, after 2003, There are very few player exchanges between the two clubs, and there was talk of the possibility of CuarĂ³n exchanging Serginho, but it was stopped by Moratti.

Until the summer of 2005, Li Ang's Inter Milan and AC Milan also exchanged players again. In AC Milan, Borriello, who had been loaned out many times, was sent to Inter Milan, and Inter Milan's veteran Fava was unable to play football. Lize was sent to AC Milan as an exchange object. Favalli's performance in AC Milan can only be said to be average. Of course, the presence of the Italian veteran will allow Jankulovski to devote more energy to the European competition.

However, in comparison, Borriello's performance at Inter Milan is even better. This 25-year-old Italian striker has now been selected for Donadoni's Italian national team many times with his outstanding performance at Inter Milan. Already.

Therefore, in general, the exchange of Borriello for Favalli can be regarded as a rare advantage for Inter Milan and AC Milan in player transactions in recent years.

*************

Li Ang rejected AC Milan's purchase of Borriello, thinking that the matter was over.

However, during the pre-match training camp in Hamburg, Borriello tactfully expressed to Li Ang his wish to let him return to AC Milan.

Inter Milan has successively introduced two forwards, Diego Milito and Cassano. In this case, Adriano will occupy a main position. In addition, Diego Milito and Aguero are competing for another starting position. In terms of priority, even taking into account Cassano's technical characteristics, Cassano's playing order may be ahead of Borriello. Therefore, Borriello is still worried and confused about his future in Inter Milan.

Tomorrow is the European Cup, and Borriello has to work hard for a spot in the European Cup, so he looks forward to playing in the game.

In addition, another thing that must be mentioned is that Borriello was born in the AC Milan youth training camp, and returning to AC Milan is also very attractive to him.

In addition, AC Milan's current forward line, Inzaghi has been injured repeatedly, and the Brazilian striker Oliveira introduced last season has long been labeled as a 'parallel import'. Only Gilardino is a stable striker, and Bolie Luo has received a certain level of commitment and will be able to get more playing opportunities by returning to AC Milan.

Therefore, facing the call from AC Milan, the former AC Milan striker was indeed tempted. He took the initiative to find Li Ang and expressed his desire to transfer to AC Milan.
