Chapter 440 The battle between old friends

The 24th round away challenge to Perugia was Jiang Mu's 11th game as coach of Inter Milan. In the previous ten games, Inter Milan won all the games. As a coach who took over midway, it is unique to be able to achieve such results.

Perugia is a mid-range team in Serie A, and its relationship with Inter Milan has always been good. The two clubs often communicate with each other. Now Inter Milan's defensive star Materazzi is from Perugia.

And if Jiang Mu hadn't arrived, Pieri and Bayocco from Perugia would probably have become Inter Milan's players next season.

Regarding Jiang Mu's entry into Inter Milan, Perugia's Chairman Gao Qi also had a phone call with Moratti. He supported Moratti in hiring Jiang Mu as coach, because what Inter Milan currently lacks most is having such a talented person.

Although Jiang Mu's coaching career was short, he showed his charisma in uniting the players tightly.

The relationship between Inter Milan and Perugia, as well as the strength of the two teams, are not enough to make this game the focus of Serie A. However, because Perugia and Inter Milan each have a Chinese native, Inter Milan

The head coach of Perugia is Jiang Mu, and Perugia’s midfielder Ma Mingyu, and there is also a Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan in Perugia’s camp. It’s either a Chinese derby or an Asian derby, or even a double derby, so Perugia and

Inter Milan's game has become one of the focus events comparable to AC Milan's battle with Lazio.

Ma Mingyu joined Perugia on loan from Sichuan Quanxing on August 7, 2000. The loan fee was US$300,000. Ma Mingyu was already 30 years old that year.

In a series of warm-up matches before the season in Perugia, Ma Mingyu, who wore the No. 9 jersey, performed quite well. In the warm-up match between Perugia and the Umbria team San Secunda on September 20, Pe

Lugia defeated the opponent 9-0. Ma Mingyu scored two goals in the game and initiated most of the team's offensive.

However, when the new Serie A season kicked off, there was no place for Ma Mingyu in coach Cosmi's team. During half a year in Perugia, he could only struggle for a substitute spot most of the time.

Hard work.

However, the original intention of Perugia Chairman Gao Qi to introduce Ma Mingyu was not due to Ma Mingyu's strength, but because of the vast Chinese market behind him. Therefore, in this game with the popular Inter Milan, Gao Qi will definitely let Kos

Milan sent Ma Mingyu to play, even if it was only as a substitute, and with Perugia's current ranking, no worries about relegation and no hope of European war, he probably would not refuse the President's hard work.

Ahn Jung-hwan is the first Korean player to land in Serie A and the second Asian player after Japan's Nakata. Ma Mingyu can only be ranked third. He also came to Perugia on loan. Unlike Ma Mingyu,

Ahn Jung-hwan officially signed the contract after a one-year loan.

However, Gao Qi’s introduction of Ahn Jung-hwan was not purely due to technical considerations, but more because of Hidetoshi Nakata’s demonstration effect. In addition, Ahn Jung-hwan, who is known as a handsome football star, is extremely popular among female fans because of his handsome appearance.

His appearance and aloof personality have fascinated countless young girls. These are huge market potentials, so Gao Qicai introduced Ahn Jung-hwan.

In the past half of the season, as one of Ma Mingyu's competitors, Ahn Jung-hwan did not have many opportunities to play, but he was much better than Ma Mingyu. He played seven league games, but he has not yet scored a goal or an assist.

.

Although due to the good relationship between Perugia and Inter Milan, the possibility of a war of words between them is very small, but the media did not forget to interview these closely watched players, coaches and presidents of the two teams, hoping to create

The effect of spitting out a little bit.

Perugia Chairman Gauci is a maverick, and it can also be said that he likes to be in the limelight. He will definitely miss such a good opportunity. Before the game started, Gauci commented on the game and spoke in a high-profile manner.

"I believe that Cosmi will let Ma Mingyu play, and I also believe that this will be a wonderful game. This is the first Chinese derby in Serie A. The invincible Chinese coach Jiang Mu and the talented Chinese midfielder Ma Mingyu collide passionately.

I believe every fan hopes to see if Ma Mingyu, who is also from China, can break Jiang Mu's magic of immortality. Ahn Jung-hwan is the core of our future. He has a greater chance of playing than Ma Mingyu. Of course, it is not possible for the two to play together.

Impossible."

Regarding Materazzi playing for two teams, Perugia and Inter Milan this season, the media believed that Perugia was helping Inter Milan win the championship, but Gauci had his own opinion, "Materazzi has already transferred.

, He is actually from Inter Milan. We kept him for half the season because we needed to avoid relegation. During the winter break, we found that we had no worries about relegation, so we gave him back to Inter Milan. This is normal and in line with the rules, Matt

Lazzi is a world-class defender. He is very good at grabbing points and blocking positions. Few people in Serie A can match him. However, Materazzi also has his own shortcomings, that is, he is slow to turn. I think if Jiang Mu starts with him

, Cosmi will find a way to deal with him."

Regarding whether Inter Milan can win the championship this season, Gauci also made a shocking statement, "Juventus basically has no hope of winning the championship. The gap between them and Inter Milan is only five points, but the direct dialogue between the two teams

It will make Juventus's points advantage become 2 points, while Roma does not have this hidden danger. Their 6 points are real, so I think the championship this season will eventually be between Inter Milan and Roma. Inter Milan

Although there is the amazing Jiang Mu, I believe he can win all the leagues except Perugia, but Roma is not a vegetarian. Their two-goal advantage is likely to make them and Inter Milan decide in the last round.

Produce a champion.”

Chairman Moratti thanked Gauci for his importance to Inter Milan, but he was not at all ambiguous about the outcome of this game. Moratti, who has already seen the dawn of winning the championship, is even more eager for the championship now than before the season.

At the beginning, he said: "There is no doubt that the relationship between Chairman Gao Qi and I is very good, and the two clubs have also had a cooperative relationship for many years, but as Jiang Mu said, every game has a negative impact on Inter Milan.

It is said to be a life and death battle. We must win this game. Cosmi's team is well organized, but I believe Jiang Mu will be able to find a way to win. As for Ma Mingyu and Ahn Jung-hwan, I believe they cannot

What a threat it poses to our team, after all, they seldom play and their condition is difficult to guarantee."

As Chinese people who are pursuing a life and career in Serie A together, Jiang Mu and Ma Mingyu don’t have much contact. Firstly, the competition is tense, and secondly, neither Jiang Mu nor Ma Mingyu like to socialize. At the Chinese Spring Festival Gala in Italy,

Jiang Mu and Ma Mingyu had dinner and chatted together, and later friends from home came over. The two got together several times, and their relationship could only be described as dull. But as compatriots, the relationship between the two was still better than that of friends from a foreign country.

There was even less contact between Jiang Mu and An Zhenhuan, and he didn’t speak Korean either. Jiang Mu and An Zhenhuan had met twice when Ma Mingyu was entertaining guests. As a yellow race, Jiang Mu was still attracted to the handsome An Zhenhuan.

Somewhat favorable,

This game will be against Perugia where Ma Mingyu is playing. Jiang Mu said that it is a bit special, "It must be different to have a Chinese compatriot in the opponent's camp, especially since Ma Mingyu is still my friend, and Ma Mingyu's situation in Perugia

It is more difficult. This is not because Ma Ma is not strong enough. He has delicate footwork, broad vision, and very good long-range shooting. However, he came to Perugia at a too old age and has no potential to tap and no time to wait.

It is a pity that players like him will either succeed immediately or have no chance. I hope that Chinese players can come to the European leagues to train as soon as possible in the future, so that the chances will be greater."

Reporters also asked Jiang Mu if he had ever thought about buying Asian players like Ma Mingyu, Ahn Jung-hwan, and Hidetoshi Nakata. Jiang Mu bluntly told reporters that it would be difficult for a giant like Inter Milan to have a chance for Asian players to establish themselves. If Asian players

If Chinese and Chinese players want to gain a foothold in the five major leagues, it is best to find some small clubs like Perugia, or even teams that are weaker than Perugia, so that they can have a chance to play. Although they have a reputation as an underdog.

It sounds better than being in a wealthy club, but sitting on the bench is not conducive to player development. Thinking about what kind of players are sitting on the bench of Inter Milan now, I think Asian players should understand their position."

Ma Mingyu was very excited about the upcoming game against Inter Milan. He highly praised Jiang Mu's magical performance and also expressed his strong desire to play.

"Jiang Mu is one of the best coaches in the world. He is so young. I believe he will remove him in the near future. China's football has improved a lot, but our status in world football is still very low.

Low, Jiang Mu has completed the breakthrough of Tianchao football from another level, allowing fans around the world to re-understand Tianchao football. He is our pride. I hope to play under him one day. Of course, I also hope that he can coach in the future.

Chinese national team.

I even dream of playing in this game. I have been in good form recently and I often score goals and assists in training. But whether I can play depends on the coach's wishes and tactical needs. I respect the coach's opinion, but

If I play, I believe I can create a threat to Inter Milan. After all, I am from China. I understand what Jiang Mu is thinking and I can roughly guess what he will do."

As a team in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, Perugia does not have as famous stars as Roma, Juventus, Inter Milan, and Lazio, but Cosmi rarely gives Ahn Jung-hwan a chance to play. This makes Ahn Jung-hwan vs. Kos.

Mi was a little dissatisfied. Before this game, Ahn Jung-hwan expressed his dissatisfaction implicitly. "I hope I can play in such an important game. Everyone knows that if I can play in the game against Inter Milan,

He became famous when he came on the field and defeated them. I believe that with my strength and condition, I can play, but the head coach always fails to see my efforts. Coach Hiddink said that if I have been unable to guarantee my place in the club

In terms of playing time, my main position in the national team may not be guaranteed."

Faced with Ma Mingyu and Ahn Jung-hwan's overt or covert expressions, Cosmi pretended to be confused, neither saying that they would be allowed to play, nor saying that they would not be allowed to play, because Perugia Chairman Gao Qi wanted to make profits.

He won't let Ahn Jung-hwan and Ma Mingyu go easily. He doesn't want to use them for practical purposes and wants to achieve a balance between the two. Apart from occasionally sending them on as substitutes for a few minutes to whet the fans' appetite, he can only pretend to be confused.
