Serie A giant Inter Milan released an announcement on the official website, announcing that the team acquired the team captain, Russian international Andrei Arshavin, from the Russian Super League stadium Zenit St. Petersburg for 9 million euros. The two parties signed a four-year contract.
Inter Milan has the first right to renew the contract for five years.
The official website also published a photo of Arshavin holding up Inter Milan's scarf after passing his personal medical examination.
The official website also played a short video in which a Russian said in broken Italian: I love Inter Milan!
This is obviously a move that pleases the fans.
"This Russian international footballer is very popular with coach Li Ang. This is the player named by coach Li Ang. In Russia, Andrei Arshavin's nickname is 'Tsar'. From this nickname, we can also see that he is in Russia.
With his name and strength, we welcome you: 'Czar'!" - The official website of Inter Milan sent a welcome message.
***********
The transfer deal for Inter Milan to introduce Arshavin has always been relatively hidden. Even in Russia, when Arshavin issued a declaration to leave the team, even the Russian media did not link Arshavin to the Serie A giant Inter Milan because they had previously
There has never been any news that Inter Milan is interested in Arshavin.
On the contrary, some media suspect that the Premier League giant Arsenal is linked to Arshavin's future. It was previously reported that Arsenal's French coach Arsene Wenger is interested in Arshavin. The Russian media is very excited about this. If Arshavin
By joining Arsenal, he will be the only Russian international currently playing for a European giant.
Now, it was suddenly revealed that Arshavin was signed by Serie A giant Inter Milan. The Russian media was in a frenzy, praising the transfer and sending blessings to Arshavin.
The news circulated that coach Li Ang named Arshavin, which also made the Russian media and fans very excited.
"St. Petersburg Red Star" even bluntly said that the favor from the world-famous coach Leon is a recognition of Arshavin and a recognition of Russian football!
Many Chinese reporters who followed the news about Inter Milan, as well as some Chinese people in Russia, were deeply moved when they saw such words from the Russian side, and then felt honored and proud.
With Li Ang, the overall image and status of Chinese football seems to have become different.
***********
The Russian side is cheering, but the reaction from the Italian media is different.
"Corriere dello Sport" and "Turin Sport" both questioned Inter Milan's transfer deal, believing that Inter Milan spent nine million euros to introduce such an "older youth", which was a risky move.
"Andrei Arshavin is 26 years old and has never played for a team outside the Russian league. The performance of Russian players abroad has never been very good. It is said that this is the player that Li Ang asked for. It is difficult.
Understand what attracts Li Ang's attention to this Russian, and we will wait and see about the Russian's prospects in Inter Milan..." - "Corriere dello Sport".
If Corriere dello Sport was just questioning, the Turin media went too far.
Andrei Arshavin?
who is he?!
"Torino Sport" even used such words.
This media really doesn’t know who Arshavin is? Of course it’s impossible!
Although Andrei Arshavin may not be well-known in mainstream European leagues, he is a Russian international footballer after all. How could Turin Sport not know about it.
This media just used this method to ridicule and question Li Ang's signing. Considering the grievances between Li Ang and the people of Turin, Arshavin was so suspected, which was tantamount to being "implicated" by Li Ang.
***********
"Torino Sport" is Leon's number one enemy in the Italian media, and blackmailing him is their daily job, although it is difficult for them to find opportunities and reasons to criticize him.
Li Ang would only quarrel with "Torino Sport" when he was really bored. He usually didn't like to talk to this media.
However, now Tuttosport has directly attacked his players, and Li Ang cannot bear this.
"People in Turin say they have never heard of Arshavin's name? Tsk, tsk, I can only say that this is a closed country that loses and loses, and does not care about worldly affairs?" Li Ang was extremely sarcastic on his personal website.
"Someone once asked me what my hobbies are. I said I have a wide range of hobbies, and he said, tell me a favorite. I thought about it, and my favorite must be 'eating, sleeping, and beating Juventus!'
'"
Li Ang's combat effectiveness when he turned on the 'protecting the calf' mode was astonishing. He didn't mention Arshavin too much, let alone how outstanding Arshavin's performance would be. This would only bring greater trouble to the player himself.
Attention and pressure, Li Ang directly criticized Juventus, and the Bianconeri were so happy that they didn't want it.
The Juventus people were angry.
The one who caused the trouble is "Torino Sport", it has nothing to do with us?! They feel that they have suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Li Ang shrugged. "Turin Sports News" is the mouthpiece of Juventus. Who said you two have a good relationship?
Inter Milan fans are very happy that Li Ang is so critical of Juventus. For Inter Milan people, fighting with Juventus is politically correct and there is nothing wrong with it.
***********
After Arshavin officially signed with the team, he made his appearance at the Pinenati base.
Inter Milan captain Zanetti welcomed the Russian international on behalf of the team.
After the training session that day, the Inter Milan players had their initial understanding of this new Russian teammate. Although they did not cooperate well with their teammates, in the limited training, Arshavin still showed his incompatibility.
He has ordinary personal abilities, especially good foot skills and good speed. At least he has good personal abilities. During the team training, Arshavin once suddenly changed to cut inside and easily passed Samuel, allowing the Argentine to
The star was in the background and chased all the way back, while Arshavin sent a beautiful diagonal pass. This was a very good open ball. It was a pity that Aguero and Arshavin lacked a tacit understanding and did not intervene in time.
.Although this breakthrough and distribution are not perfect, it also shows that this Russian still has two skills.
Li Ang's coaching staff also has a relatively good evaluation of Arshavin. Pablo Banderas had a very average impression of Russian players before. Now after watching Arshavin's training, he has to admit that this Russian international nicknamed 'Tsar'
, the strength is good. He had to admire Li Ang's vision of people again.
