"This is already Andrei Arshavin's tenth season playing for Zenit St. Petersburg. As the captain and flag of Zenit St. Petersburg, he is undoubtedly the team's biggest star. However, Arshavin
He has begun to express his willingness to play in the mainstream European leagues. For a player who is already 26 years old, he is obviously not young. Maybe the mainstream European leagues do not know the captain of Zenit St. Petersburg. However, next year's
The European Cup will be a stage for Arshavin to show his strength. The Russian national team's midfielder is confident that he will lead the team to achieve good results in next year's European Cup..."
"During the interview, Arshavin also revealed his desire to leave the Russian Super League and play for a mainstream European league. When asked which team he most desired to play for, the Russian international revealed that he is a Barcelona fan.
Obviously, he dreams of playing at Camp Nou one day..."
In the conference room of the Pinenati training base, video clips are being played.
Li Ang clicked pause on his laptop, and the projector stayed on the photo of the baby-faced Russian star.
"Is this your goal, a Russian? Li?" Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti asked.
"Yes, Andrei Arshavin, the Russian international, is very fast, has strong dribbling ability, is sharp with the ball, and has good passing ability!" Li Ang nodded: "With him, we can extremely
It greatly enriches the team’s offensive methods and is a good supplement to the team!”
***********
Inter Milan club manager Oriari was also in the meeting room. He raised his own doubts: "Watching the highlight video is indeed not bad... However, according to the data, this Russian player has been playing for Zenit St. Petersburg since his debut.
Those who play football have never left this team."
Obviously, Oriali means to worry that Arshavin is a system player and his performance after leaving Zenit St. Petersburg is questionable.
Or it can also be understood that Arshavin has been playing for Zenit St. Petersburg and has never stayed in other teams. It is very doubtful whether he can adapt to other teams and league styles.
In fact, there are many such players in football who have always stayed on a certain team, usually small and medium-sized teams in some of the five major leagues, or teams in other European leagues. They perform well and are important players of the team, even
He is a core player, but once he leaves the home team he is familiar with, his performance is very unsatisfactory.
"I don't think we need to worry too much about this." Li Ang said, "This is a 26-year-old player who is at the golden age of his career. In fact, players of this age group have the least risk."
Hearing what Li Ang said, Oriali nodded, and he admitted this. Compared with young players and veterans who are over thirty years old, the age of 26 or 7 is indeed in the prime of life.
Moratti has been silent. He is thinking. To be fair, he is not too interested in introducing a Russian player. Inter Milan has never had a Russian player in its history.
Moreover, he is skeptical about whether a Russian player can adapt to Serie A and Inter Milan.
***********
"Russian players..." Moratti seemed hesitant.
"My eyes are not wrong." Li Ang said with a smile.
When Li Ang said this, both Moratti and Oriali laughed. This is true. Li Ang's vision of people can be said to be extremely accurate, and he has never made a mistake. Since he thinks so highly of Arshavin, then,
The captain of Zenit St. Petersburg seems to be really good.
"Li, it seems that you like this player very much. It seems that this player is indeed very good." Moratti smiled, then he raised his head and looked at Li Ang: "Will Zenit St. Petersburg let their captain leave?"
"If we send out an invitation, I think Arshavin will be tempted." Li Ang said directly.
Moratti likes to hear this. After Li Ang coached Inter Milan, Inter Milan performed very well. They won the UEFA Champions League in the 2005/2006 season and also dominated Serie A for two consecutive seasons. Inter Milan has long since got rid of the years of incompetence.
With the image of a "black hole of stars" in the Champions League, it is now one of the most popular and powerful teams in European football.
Inter Milan extended an invitation to Arshavin, and it was impossible for the other party not to be tempted.
***********
"We have another advantage, and that is our head coach!" Oriali smiled and complimented Li Ang.
"I admit this too." Liang nodded and said with a smile. Moratti and Auriari also laughed.
"What about the transfer fee?" Moratti asked.
"You can talk to the Russians about this. Although Arshavin is the captain of Zenit St. Petersburg and the core midfielder of the Russian national team, as we just said, he has never played for other leagues or teams. This
This is also a factor why other teams have been hesitant to introduce him, so the value of this player will not be too high." Li Ang said, "Of course, if the Russian Lion opens his mouth, we can give up."
After listening to Li Ang's analysis, Moratti turned his attention to Auriari and wanted to listen to the club manager's opinion.
Oriali thought for a while and then said: "We can contact the Russian side first. If the price is right, we can consider it. I agree with this transfer plan."
Hearing this answer, Li Ang raised the corner of his mouth. His cooperation with Oriali has always been quite pleasant. Li Ang has the right to introduce and clean players. Of course, he will also listen to Oriali to some extent.
Suggestions to show respect, the latter will usually cooperate with Li Ang. As for the negotiation work, it is left to Oriali, and the cooperation between the two parties is quite tacit.
Li Ang has great rights in player transfers. This is agreed upon, and Moratti really trusts and delegates power to Li Ang. Now, Oriari also maintains a supportive attitude. In this case, Moratti
Naturally, there will be no objections: "In this case, let's contact the Russian clubs."
"Thank you." Li Ang thanked Moratti and Oriari for their support of his work, and then he said goodbye and left. "I have some things to do over there, so I'll go and get busy first."
After Li Ang left, Moratti glanced at Oriali, shrugged, and said with a smile, "It seems that Inter Milan is about to welcome the first Russian player in the club's history."
"Some people will say that Inter Milan is an international team again." Oriali also laughed.
Inter Milan's current performance is very good, the team is in very good shape, and these two big guys are also in a very happy mood. From the summer of 2005, when Li Ang came to Milan and started coaching Inter Milan, during the subsequent period, it was also considered the international
The most glorious period in Milan's history, creating a great era...
