Inter Milan executives also watched Arshavin's first training session. Arshavin's worth of 9 million euros is currently the highest transfer price in Serie A this winter. For 9 million euros to introduce a Russian player in the winter
, Inter Milan club executives are still worried. The reason why they nodded so happily to agree to this signing is of course because this is the player Li Ang asked for by name. In terms of player recruitment, Li Ang has great rights and the authority of the club executives.
Trust and support.
Although there was no official game, some clues could still be seen in the training session. The Russian international's strength was quite good, which reassured the club's senior management. The next step was to see if Arshavin could withstand the test of the game.
Li Ang is not surprised at all. Arshavin is characterized by extremely high dribbling accuracy, strong ability to change direction, and a balanced sprint speed with both feet. At the age of 26, Arshavin is at the peak of his career.
A small peak, introducing Arshavin at this time is definitely worth the money. You must know that in next year's European Cup, the Russian national team performed very well, and Arshavin, the absolute core of the Russian national team, quickly became popular. If you want to get him at that time,
Arshavin was not that easy to come by. I have the impression that Arsenal later paid 16.5 million euros to get Arshavin.
Li Ang was worried that Arshavin would be affected by these remarks in the media. After the team training the next day, he had a short conversation with Arshavin and asked him about his impression of the team and how he felt about life in Milan.
What reassured him was that the Russians were in a good mood and did not seem to be affected by the media's questioning remarks.
Andrei Arshavin was indeed not affected by the words of the Italian media. Why?
He doesn't understand Italian at all, and he doesn't understand Italian at all. He doesn't understand what is written in the newspaper or what is said on the TV news.
Moreover, although it was the first time for Arshavin to play abroad, he was also a proven veteran. He also guessed that he might be questioned by some when he came to such a championship team.
Before showing off, just ignore them at all. He doesn't understand or understand the news and newspapers, so he simply doesn't read them, and it doesn't affect him.
In fact, this may not be a bad idea for a player who has recently joined the team.

On January 21, 2008, in the 19th round of the 2007/2008 Serie A season, Inter Milan welcomed Parma at home.
Parma is currently in a bad situation. Although they are ranked fourteenth in the league, their ranking seems to be okay. However, they are only four points ahead of the relegation zone, and the pressure to avoid relegation is not small.
At the Meazza Stadium, the visiting team Parma played very conservatively. For them, being able to draw with Inter Milan on the road was a great victory.
In fact, since the start of Serie A this season, Inter Milan has won all 18 previous league games. Whether it is Roma, Juventus or AC Milan, they have all been defeated by Inter Milan. Therefore,
If Parma can really draw with Inter Milan, it will be considered a very big satellite.
The final score of this game was 1-0. In the 71st minute of the game, Inter Milan took advantage of a set kick opportunity and Materazzi scored with a header, narrowly defeating their opponent with a goal.
At the end of the game, the camera captured Inter Milan's coach Li Ang's expression on the coaching bench.
"Li seemed a little dissatisfied with the players' performance. In fact, Inter Milan did not have many opportunities in today's game, and the game was not as smooth as before. Of course, this is also inseparable from Parma's extremely conservative tactics.
It's open," the commentator Ferrari said.
The reason why Li Ang frowned was not that he was dissatisfied with the team's performance in winning the game 1-0, but that he began to realize that with Inter Milan's crazy victory this season, Inter Milan's opponents have become more
Directly, for other teams, being able to draw with Inter Milan is a celebration of the results of the three cups. This also makes other teams become more and more conservative when facing Inter Milan.
Li Ang had a hunch that Inter Milan would often encounter a team like Parma that was very conservative and ended in a boring draw. If they want to win in the league, they will have to put in more effort.
‘We need to practice more to break through dense defenses.’ Li Ang rubbed his chin in thought.
During the halftime break of the game, Arshavin, who had newly joined the team, held up the Inter Milan jersey and made his official debut at the Meazza Stadium.
However, Arshavin did not get a chance to play.
Facing Parma, who is returning to defense across the board, Arshavin, who has just joined the team for two or three days, is not familiar with his teammates, and does not have a tacit understanding with the team, is obviously not suitable to appear at such a time. Once he performs poorly, it will make Russia
People are subject to a lot of doubts and pressure.
***********
Inter Milan defeated Parma 1-0 at home.
In this round of the league, Juventus was held to a 0-0 draw by Sampdoria at home.
In this case, the Bianconeri's points are only 37 points, which is already 20 points behind the 57 points of Inter Milan, which has won all 19 games.
After the game, Tuttosport had to say sadly, "Maybe for Juventus, the league championship has become extremely unrealistic..."
The words of "Torino Sport" ushered in the ridicule of Inter Milan fans and fans of some other teams. Even if the point difference of this game is not taken into account, Juventus was 18 points behind Inter Milan.
Many, given Inter Milan's invincible dominance in Serie A this season and the huge victory in these six games, it is really ridiculous that Juventus has not given up their dream of winning the championship.
In response to Tuttosport's pessimism about Juventus competing for the league title, Li Ang responded on his personal website: Only now do you know?!
This naturally caused dissatisfaction with the Juventus club and fans.
Juventus club executives protested and warned, asking Li Ang to restrain his big mouth.
"We hope that the head coach of Inter Milan will restrain his words and deeds. It is very disrespectful to ridicule and provoke a great and respected club so unscrupulously." Juventus executives said.
Later, the senior executive encouraged the team, "We will continue to work hard in the league, but one thing must be confirmed, the team needs a championship! Juventus cannot live without a championship! We will ensure that we continue to work hard in the Italian Cup.
Moving forward, the Coppa Italia title is very important for Juventus!"
Fans with good intentions forwarded the Juventus man's remarks to Li Ang and asked for his opinion.
Li Ang updated his personal website in the evening, with only a few words: Oh, got it!
Then, there is a picture at the back, which is the matchup situation of the Italian Cup.
In the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup in the 2007/2008 season, Juventus's opponent was Inter Milan!
The two teams will face off in the first leg of the quarter-finals in two days.
