When Real Madrid announced the signing of Christian Vieri, the main forward of Inter Milan's Italian national team, for five million euros plus young defender Arbeloa, the whole of Europe was shocked again.
Florentino's "one superstar a year" strategy was successful again. After Vieri joined, Real Madrid's striker was terrifying. Raul, Ronaldo, Vieri, Morientes, four such people, whether they are
Both of them can play the main role in any strong team, but Real Madrid has four such forwards!
What is even more embarrassing is that the Vero combination, which has never been formed in Inter Milan, has successfully merged in Real Madrid. Seeing this scene, Inter Milan fans were a little stunned...
When Dick joined, they were overjoyed and believed that Inter Milan would usher in a renaissance - even though they had welcomed many famous coaches before - Lippi, who performed top-notch at Juventus, came, but sadly left.
Cooper, who has achieved outstanding results in Valencia, is here. He once let Inter Milan fans see that the championship is close at hand, but that defeat made Inter Milan miss the championship again. Now Dick is here, Inter Milan
Although the fans were happy, they also murmured a little, can this magical Chinese coach really change the curse of the past ten years and let Inter Milan win the league championship?
When they were happy and doubtful at the same time, they discovered that their favorite Vieri, who had been accompanying them in the darkest days of the past, had been sold after Dick arrived.
Real Madrid!
It was only sold for 5 million euros! Although a so-called young player was added, can the value of such a young player be compared with Vieri in any aspect?
Negative score! Bad review! Get lost!
Although they do not understand these words, it does not prevent them from expressing such intentions.
Soon, many Inter Milan fans gathered on Durini Street, where Inter Milan's headquarters is located, and held up banners to protest against the club's behavior...
They did not directly target Dick, but expressed their dissatisfaction with the Inter Milan club. Last season, Inter Milan suffered eleven rounds of defeat in the league and had to play in the UEFA Cup. In this case, they
Expressing dissatisfaction is normal.
Everyone in Inter Milan was smiling bitterly. This matter was caused by Dick, but Dick is not in Milan now. He is enjoying himself in Monaco. In the end, it was Facchetti who came forward to appease the fans, saying that Inter Milan will have something good this season.
A big change, fans please wait patiently...
At this time, Dick once again completed his last shot.
Empoli was relegated last season, and many players in their team became hot commodities. But this time, Dick was interested in Di Natale, a low-key striker who became more and more popular as he got older.
Di Natale is not a pure shooter now. In Empoli, he played more on the wing. He is a very comprehensive player. When he was young, he played both wing, shadow striker and forward positions.
In the first few seasons at Udinese, he also played on the wing. It was not until later that he started to switch to the striker position. As a result, he got out of hand and set a record of scoring more than 100 goals in Serie A for four consecutive seasons.
A miraculous record of twenty.
If he wants to introduce this player, Dick certainly has his own considerations. Now there are not enough people at the forward position. Tony and Ade will be his main forward candidates, and the substitutes are Cruz and Martins.
There is also Recoba, but in the midfield position, he is still relatively weak, especially on both sides. The only ones who can play on both sides are Perrotta and Stankovic, and Semioli can barely do it.
Playing this position, Semioli's strength is still slightly inferior, so he can only serve as a substitute. If Di Natale joins, he can provide sufficient substitute resources for the two wingers.
And Di Natale has always been a relatively low-key player. He can play in Udinese for ten years with a basic salary, which is enough to prove that this player does not have much ambition, although Dick cannot guarantee his main role.
Position, but Dick is confident that he can use rotation to get enough playing opportunities. When he matures a little more, maybe it will be time for him to shine in Inter Milan!
Udinese is unlucky now. They had almost reached an agreement with Di Natale, but at this time, Inter Milan intervened. They have done a lot of this kind of thing this season. First,
He intercepted Chiellini who was about to go to Juventus, then grabbed Mascherano in front of everyone, and now Di Natale...
For Di Natale himself, he would naturally prefer to go to such a big club. He is only 25 years old and has been at Empoli for five years. The idea of trying to go to a big club is very
It's normal, not to mention that Dick called him and emphasized that although you will not be the main player in Inter Milan, you will be a very important rotation substitute...
What really moved Di Natale was Dick's last words.
"Do you want to progress faster? Do you want to be around players at the highest level and see what their abilities are like? I can guarantee you that at Inter Milan, you can get all of this."
After hearing these words, Di Natale decided to go to Inter Milan. He is not the kind of young player who only blindly fantasizes. He has his own considerations. Maybe he won't be able to play any games when he goes to Inter Milan, but if he wants to
I know that he came from the small team Empoli. After being loaned out for a few years, he returned to Empoli and played for five years, including three seasons in Serie B. He has enough experience.
On the contrary, the horizon is not wide enough.
Although he has met various superstars in the league, watching his opponents' performance on the court is far less profound than being able to face each other day and night in training. Dick's words hit his heart.
superior.
Although he is a low-key striker, being low-key does not mean that he has no ambition. An ambitious striker must desire stronger strength and better performance, so Di Natale was undoubtedly mentioned by Dick.
Moved...
Three million euros, Inter Milan did not pay much. After all, Empoli was a relegated team. Dick pulled out his teeth and snatched away their main striker and captain for the next ten years from Udinese...
This made Udinese very angry. In desperation, they had no choice but to buy Reggina's Di Michele - a shooter who debuted at almost the same time as Di Natale and had a very similar name.
The Udinese striker…
This also made Udinese very angry with Dick's behavior. This made Dick want to introduce Udinese's Chilean midfielder Pizarro next year, but Udinese flatly refused, and then Pizarro was
Sold to Rome. Of course, this is a story for later.
At this point, Dick's signings are all over, and Inter Milan's pre-season training is about to begin!
But before the pre-season training begins, Dick still has something to do.
"Mr. Facchetti, I think this summer transfer can be scored 90 points." Dick said to Facchetti with a smile.
Facchetti is obviously in a good mood. Although he spent a lot of money in the transfer market, he cleared out so many players and reduced his salary expenditure by a total of 40 million, which is enough to pay Di Di this season.
Dick has used the transfer funds, not to mention that the money has not been used up yet.
Adriano 10 million, Mascherano 10 million, Maicon 3 million, Chiellini 7 million, Perrotta 7 million, Maggio 1.5 million, Cesar is free
, Arbeloa is free, Semioli’s half-ownership was acquired by Inter Milan for three million, Di Natale was three million, and Toni was six million – these are the eleven signings of Inter Milan this season.
, costing them a total of 50.5 million euros.
Cuaron sold for 5 million, Van der Meyde sold for 6 million, half of Chiellini's ownership sold for 3.5 million, Vieri sold for 5 million, and Chilly sold for 2 million.
Inter Milan received 21.5 million in income from these players, which means that there are still 11 million euros that have not been spent.
In other words, Inter Milan's expenditure in the transfer market this season is actually only 29 million, less than 30 million. Relatively speaking, it is already a very small amount of expenditure.
"Mr. Facchetti, I don't think this money can be put back into the club's account." Dick stated his purpose.
"Huh? Do you still want to buy players? Who do you want to buy?" Facchetti was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"It's not about buying people, but about the club's training facilities... To be honest, the infrastructure of the Pinetina training base... is really not like the training facilities that a giant club can have. I went to Pinetina to see it, and the grass was hard.
, it’s okay that the weather is hot now, but when the weather cools down, such a hard lawn is likely to cause damage to the players... No wonder Inter Milan has always started to suffer from a large number of injuries in winter in the past few years, and the lawn must be one of them.
A factor!”
Facchetti was stunned for a moment. When he was an athlete, he didn't pay much attention to it. Hearing what Dick said, he began to feel the seriousness - in the past few years, Inter Milan always suffered from large-scale injuries in the winter.
Diseases, many of them are not injured in games but in training. Now it seems that there is really a problem with the lawn...
"The other one is the dormitory at the training base. It's so dilapidated... Wouldn't it be troublesome to spend some money to repair it? When Inter Milan had a home game before, where did they stay two days before the game?" Dick continued to ask.
.
Facchetti felt a little ashamed: "Book a hotel in Milan..."
"...At least three stars or above, right? To spend that money, it is better to renovate the dormitory at once, rest in the training base and have a better rest, and set out to participate in the competition together the next day... It is a one-time investment,
It's much better than spending money in hotels all the time." Dick said after a moment of silence.
At this point, Dick couldn't help but shook his head. Inter Milan is indeed very famous, but such detailed facilities are really not professional at all and look very amateur. To be honest, floor heating is laid under the club's training lawn to provide the club with
These are small problems if the dormitory is well decorated, but small problems sometimes turn into big problems. For example, the story of one missing nail, which eventually led to the destruction of the entire country, is an example.
"I understand... in fact, these expenses will not be too low. I will find a way to raise this expense." At this time, Facchetti did not have the airs of a chairman at all, and immediately replied.
