When the news of Dick's resignation as Dortmund's head coach came out, the news soon swept the entire European continent at an alarming speed.
Bayern's three giants all breathed a sigh of relief after learning the news. In the past three seasons, Bayern had been extremely unlucky before being suppressed by Leverkusen and Dortmund. Then when they were ready to rise, Dick came to Dortmund again.
Last season, they were ravaged by Dortmund and Werder Bremen. Now... Dick is gone, Bayern's coaching change agreement has begun to be reached, and at the same time, they are preparing for a replacement... This is a good opportunity.
The UEFA officials were all smiling bitterly. Originally, the biggest news now was the European Cup, which was about to start, but Dick made such a move, all the attention went to Dick, and even the European Cup began to become
No one cares about it for the time being - what a big deal!
But fortunately, Dick's next move only happened in a few days, and it will not affect the influence of the European Cup.
And Dick did not let others wait long. On the third day after he left Dortmund, which was also the day after Watzke announced Dick's resignation as Dortmund's head coach, news came from Italy.
The official website of Inter Milan sent out a message. Although it was just a simple sentence, the official website of Inter Milan was almost overwhelmed. Countless fans left messages on the message board, and the server of the official website of Inter Milan almost crashed...
This message contains only one extremely simple sentence, but it reveals all the answers to the mystery.
"Chinese head coach Dick will soon become the head coach of Inter Milan. We thank Coach Cooper for his hard work in the past three seasons. The new Inter Milan is about to set sail."
Next, Inter Milan announced again, holding a press conference in Milan on June 3 to confirm that Dick will coach Inter Milan.
Reporters from all over the world immediately set off for Milan - Inter Milan did not have much time left, there was only one day's buffer, and if they wanted to rush there, they had to leave immediately...
Dick was looking at the street scene of Milan in a hotel in Milan. He came to Milan right after the press conference and brought nothing - but he didn’t need to bring anything. The bonus given to him by the Dortmund club had already been in the league.
After winning the championship, it was transferred to his account. As for the other small details, his assistants naturally took care of it.
Marriner also knew that Dick would come to Inter Milan. As his assistant coach, he would also come with Dick. For Marriner, he began to feel that there was nothing wrong with being Dick's assistant coach, at least.
Being able to travel around and see the football in various leagues is much better than sitting in the Atletico Madrid youth team and watching the sky...
"I think you will be very busy this summer." Marina sighed.
Dick turned around when he heard the sound, and then asked with a smile: "Why are you so busy?"
"There are so many people to clean up, and we have to prepare suitable signings, and there is not enough time... Aren't you busy?" Marriner asked rhetorically.
"There are a lot of people to clean up and a lot of people to bring in, but why is there not enough time?" Dick continued to say with a smile.
"Don't you want to wait until the European Cup is over before arranging work? Check the status of the players during the European Cup and see if there are any good players..." Marriner said.
"When will I rely on watching the European Cup to discover players? In fact, performance in the competition cannot be used as an evaluation factor. How many players who became famous in the competition performed averagely after being transferred? Players I don't want, performance in the competition
"Okay, go ahead and don't want it. I want players who have average performance in the competition." At this point, Dick pointed to his eyes, and then said: "I believe in my eyes."
Marriner kept his mouth shut. Dick had not made any mistakes in purchasing people in the past few years. If he was so confident, he really couldn't refute...
"Do you know why I came to Italy? Robert?" Dick added with a smile: "The Italian coach has the strongest tactical ability. I want to see how well I can do in this environment."
"On this point, I have confidence in you." Marina smiled slightly.
Dick also laughed. New environment, new challenges - maybe the environment here is not as good as in Dortmund, but he doesn't have to worry about how to spend any transfer fee. All he wants is to try his best.
Form a strong team and go for some honors!
Of course, Inter Milan's situation is more complicated than Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, but at least at this time, after his rights are stipulated in the contract, Dick is confident enough to be able to achieve success in the next few years.
An outstanding enough result.
Although Dick knew that the next two years would be the two years when Moggi and others made the most violent calls. However, in those two years, Inter Milan's poor performance was due to some strategic errors made by Mancini. In fact,
In the next two years, under Facchetti's operation, Inter Milan began to become more pragmatic and performed well in the transfer market. Its own strength is not bad. Dick is confident that he can do better than Mancini, especially
There won't be so many mistakes in the transfer market.
Mancini's shortcomings of poor overall view have been particularly obvious in these two seasons. Historically, this season, with Zanetti Davis Cambiasso in the midfield, he insisted on using the hump.
The combination of Biasso and Veron caused Davis to choose to leave after half a season. In the second season, he still used Cambiaso and Veron in the midfield, which was abrupt.
They forced Pizarro away. In the third season, when Zanetti Pizarro and other midfielders had left, he started to play as a three-back midfielder again. The entire team only had three midfielders. If it weren't for Da
Kurt's unexpectedly good performance, Inter Milan may not be able to easily win the longest winning streak, and when injuries began to increase in the second half of the season, they had to push Burdisso and others into the midfielder position, making them
After poor performance in the Champions League and being eliminated early, Mancini's chaotic team formation ideas can be seen.
In this wavering situation, Inter Milan has consumed too much internal strength. At least Dick thinks he will not have such a problem.
The next day, reporters from all over the world gathered together, and they were not disappointed, because Dick did appear at the press conference.
Facchetti, the current president of Inter Milan Club, introduced Dick. Soon, reporters began to ask Dick various questions...
"Excuse me, Mr. Dick, when did you confirm your contract with Inter Milan?"
"After the season, Mr. Facchetti and Mr. Moratti came to invite me. I felt their sincerity, so I agreed." Dick answered seriously.
No one believed what he said. How could a wealthy club get in touch with such a top head coach in just two or three sentences? Even if you were like sticks meeting fire, an adulterer meeting a whore, you wouldn't be able to get it done so quickly.
Bar……
However, Dick would definitely not say that he had negotiated with Inter Milan half a year ago and was just waiting to leave as soon as the season was over - everyone knew it was one thing, but he said it was another...
…
Seeing Dick looking like a man with a knife, the reporters could only choose to give up. They were already very familiar with Dick. If they bothered with such details again, maybe this guy would dare to leave directly. Anyway, he himself
Said: "I never need to please the media, I just need to please the fans, the rest...who cares?"
So a reporter asked another question: "What do you think of your predecessor Cooper?"
"I haven't had much contact with Mr. Cooper...but I know he is an excellent coach. He left me a very strong defensive line, which is very important. In recent years, Inter Milan has rarely been stable, and only Cooper
Coach Po has given Inter Milan a period of stable performance, and I think I will thank him." Dick replied.
"What do you think of Inter Milan's performance last season? Inter Milan once suffered a ten-game winless run. In the end, it only ranked fifth in Serie A and lost the opportunity to participate in the Champions League. You will feel uncomfortable leading the team in the UEFA Cup.
How does it feel? After all, you have led the team to compete in the Champions League for the past three years."
"The first European championship I won was the UEFA Cup. I also have deep feelings for this game. But the first thing for Inter Milan is to win a league championship. This is what all Inter Milan fans want to see.
I know this very well. Of course, Serie A is the most difficult league in the world. I am happy to face this challenge and I am mentally prepared to face it."
Dick said it very straightforwardly. Moratti invited him here just to help him win the championship. He also came only for this goal. Such a championship coach has only one task, which is to win the championship and win the club.
If you fail to achieve the honor that the fans want, it will be a failure!
"What do you think of the current personnel composition of Inter Milan?" another reporter asked.
"The secret of the team, no comment." Dick answered simply.
"So about signings..."
"The secret of team building, no comment."
It was the first time that Italian reporters experienced Dick's difficulty. After spending a long time, they didn't ask anything at this press conference except that Dick had indeed become the head coach of Inter Milan. What a waste.
ah!
However, Italians like to study football tactics, and these reporters are at least familiar with it. Immediately, a reporter asked: "Mr. Dick, we all know that you like to use three forward tactics, so in Serie A, what will you use?"
A tactic? It seems that few teams can succeed with three forwards in Serie A."
"I played a 4-5-1 single striker at Atletico Madrid, and I also played a 4-4-2 formation in Dortmund. The tactics used are not the most important, the most important thing is how to let the players realize their potential. Inter Milan has many
Excellent players, but many times they fail to show their greatest potential, and that's what I want to do."
After answering a few more questions, Dick started to shut up. Then Facchetti came out to smooth things over and answered a few questions in the same way. Next, Dick took a piece from Facchetti.
The number on Inter Milan's jersey is zero, and Dick's name is printed on the top of the back...
"A new era for Inter Milan is about to begin." The captain of the great Inter Milan era said to all reporters with a smile.
The reporters did not have any objections to this. Dick's arrival will definitely usher in a new era, but I don't know whether it is a good era or a bad era...
