Installing floor heating and decorating the dormitories at the training base. After Dick made such a request, Inter Milan Club began to do it according to his request - this is indeed not a small amount of money. The thousand saved in the transfer funds
Tens of thousands was not enough to handle everything, but under Facchetti's lobbying, Moratti still generously met the request - after all, player salary expenditures have been greatly reduced, and expenditures on club maintenance have increased.
, is also acceptable.
Moratti has always been relatively generous to new coaches, as long as he trusts the coach.
On July 25th, Dick said goodbye to Charlotte, flew directly from Monaco to Milan, and then prepared to start team training - he couldn't do much in the past few days. After all, besides the European Cup, there are other games this summer.
Copa America, and the Olympic Games - most of Inter Milan's current first-team members will participate in these three competitions.
Participating in the European Cup are Toldo, Materazzi, Cannavaro, Zanetti, Perrotta and Karagounis. Except for Karagounis, who is a Greek international, the other five are all Italian internationals.
After Dick took office, he unexpectedly bought many Italian players, such as Perrotta, Toni, Maggio, and Di Natale. However, because he sold off Vieri, this point was ignored by many people...
There are many people participating in the America's Cup, including two captains, Zanetti and Cordoba, three forwards, Recoba, Adriano and Cruz, plus Masche, who has just joined the Olympic Games.
Llano, Inter Milan currently has 25 players in the first team, but only 13 players can participate in this training camp immediately, which is just over half.
But Dick didn't care very much. Basically, those who can participate in the training camp this time are young players. It's just a good opportunity to get to know them, and at the same time give them a foundation to confirm that they will be a good player in the new season.
What kind of status.
Cesar was assigned to the club's goalkeeper coach as soon as he arrived. The level of goalkeeper coaches in Italy is top-notch in the world. In particular, they pay great attention to training goal-line skills and fighting movements. Even Kahn has been training for a long time.
For a period of time, he was despised by Italian goalkeeper coaches, who thought that his saving actions were extremely unreasonable, and Kahn did have such a problem. He was easy to miss...
Cesar's reflexes are quite outstanding, and as a goalkeeper who is not tall, he is also very flexible with his feet. His shortcoming is that he is slightly poor at judging and handling high-altitude balls. This is also related to the environment of the Brazilian league.
The Brazilian league pays more attention to the passing of the ball at the feet and rarely attacks high-altitude balls. Naturally, he lacks experience in this area.
Dick doesn't plan to use Cesar as the main player this year, but even if he is a substitute in Inter Milan, it is much better than being a substitute in Chievo. After all, he was on loan at Chievo, so the other party will naturally not pay much attention.
Training him, but now in Inter Milan, it is different.
Maggio, Pasquale, Arbeloa and Andreoli will also be substitutes, but they will also have a lot of playing opportunities, with Arbeloa and Andreoli as the back line.
They are all-rounders, and they will not have too few playing opportunities, while Maggio and Pasquale are two substitutes on the wing. In some extreme situations, they will also become the main force.
The requirements for such young players are often not too high. Dick is also a head coach who is accustomed to using rotation, so he will not give them too few opportunities.
Semioli and Farinos are obviously positioned as substitutes, or relatively end-of-the-line substitutes. There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Dick still has to ensure his results first.
The next few days of training will focus on physical recovery training, and Dick is not in a hurry - the first round of Serie A this season will not start until September 11th, and there is still a long period of time for tactical training.
We can wait until the players are all concentrated.
And he won’t stay in Pinetina for too long. Inter Milan has already made preparations for the next training location - the whole team will go to the Middle East for training. Firstly, Inter Milan has cooperation with the Middle East and goes there every year.
Training is also a commercial development. Another point is that Pinetina is currently constructing infrastructure and is not suitable for team training.
So during this period of time, Dick seemed to have no sense of existence. He didn't drive when he first arrived. Although reporters blocked his people outside the training base every day, they couldn't get anything out of him every time...
…
After five days of concentration, the whole team flew to the Middle East to prepare for a twenty-day training there. Players participating in the European Cup and America's Cup will go directly to the Middle East to join the team. Only Maschera, who participated in the Olympics,
Nuo is not yet able to return to the team.
Dick didn't expect to be able to use Mascherano immediately. He knew that the final champion of this Olympic Games would be the Argentine Olympic team, which meant that Mascherano would stay with the Olympic team until he was twenty-eight.
No., you have to give them some rest time afterwards. It is enough to be able to return to the team before the start of the season. In his mind, Mascherano is not a player that can be used right now. At least, he needs time and time to adapt.
If you put too much pressure on him during the running-in period, it will be bad.
During this training camp in the Middle East, Inter Milan will play two friendly matches with local teams, but the time will be before leaving the Middle East. This gives Inter Milan enough time to quietly conduct tactical training.
The past few days had not been in vain for Dick. Apart from rarely speaking on the sidelines of the training ground and almost being ignored, Dick gave full play to his ability to dance and became very familiar with the assistant coaches of Inter Milan.
, they naturally also knew the tactical training that Dick was planning to arrange.
"Whether a season is successful or not is often determined before the season begins. What we need to determine now is the main tactics and stick to them all the way, so that there will be no confusion."
Dick said to all the coaches: "The signings I made this summer were completely based on my next tactics. In my opinion, the current personnel are enough to support me for a season, and there will be a large area.
Injuries like a plague... In that case, even I won’t be able to do much."
The assistant coaches all laughed bitterly. In the past few years, it has almost become a tradition for Inter Milan to suffer widespread injuries in the winter. In the first year of Cooper's leadership, there was no striker available in the winter due to injuries. As a result, Card
Long had a chance to become famous, but in the last two seasons due to injuries, Martins became a reliable shooter for Inter Milan...
"But this time, we shouldn't worry about not having any forwards available." Dick continued, and this time the assistant coaches started to laugh, because now Inter Milan has seven forwards...
"Mr. Dick, but I think if we follow the 4-4-2 strategy, we currently lack the main players on the wing at the back, lack the substitutes in the middle, and lack people in the midfield, but there will be a surplus of forwards..."
Assistant coach Quadley offered an opinion.
Dick laughed: "If you look at the formation alone, it's like this...but the tactics I want to play are not limited to any position."
"Strengthening running and coordination is what we need to do now. The previous physical reserves have given the players enough physical fitness, and none of our players have any veterans, so now, what I need is to observe their status.
, and in terms of specific tactical arrangements, that is what you have to do now."
Having said this, Dick took a thick stack of information from Marriner and distributed it to the assistant coaches separately.
"This is all the training tasks about what each player has to do on the field. Remember, don't let it out, otherwise we will have no secrets... This is what Robert and I arrange for all the players based on their characteristics.
In terms of tactical training content, what I need is not a team with only eleven players. What I need is that everyone understands their responsibilities. When I want to use them, they will know what they should do.
team!"
The assistant coaches were flipping through this stack of information and couldn't help but become speechless - this was indeed an extremely detailed stack of information, which clearly marked the tactical training direction of all players and what they should do on the court, such as Ah
What Deliano has to do on the court is to "retrace, get the ball on the left, and then choose to break through with the ball. When the opponent starts to block from the front, there are three directions to pass the ball - cross
Right side, diagonal pass to the left and direct pass to the front." In conjunction with this, when Adriano starts to retreat to get the ball, no matter who is in possession of the ball, it will be given to him immediately.
, At the same time, the center in the penalty area will retreat out of the penalty area and go to the right side of the penalty area to prepare for a response and help Adela to defend the penalty area. The left midfielder inserts a diagonal line into the penalty area and waits for an opportunity to respond. The left back must cover at this moment.
The side insertion also attracts the opponent's defensive attention. The right midfielder on the right needs to be closer to Adriano to respond, and the attacking midfielder appears at the front of the penalty area, ready to draw the opponent's attention at any time.
Each offensive method will have corresponding coordination, and there are countless ways to combine it. Just watching such training makes all the assistant coaches feel overwhelmed...
"Don't worry. First of all, we just need to let the players know what they should do. After they all remember this, they will naturally know how to cooperate on the field. What we have to do is to make adjustments in the overall tactical drill to let them
Gradually become familiar with this attack method." Dick finally said.
The assistant coaches nodded one after another. If they just told the players what they should do on the field, then it would not be too difficult, at least from their perspective. What is difficult is what kind of understanding the players have...
Dick doesn't mind this. Based on the memory and understanding of later generations, Dick basically knows which of the current Inter Milan players have high and low football intelligence. Basically, it is difficult for Adriano to arrange the content.
Some, but much less, and for players like Stankovic and Perrotta, the tasks assigned are more, and Dick also believes that they can do a good job!
As for the deficiencies in the lineup that the assistant coaches are confused about, that is what Dick has to do next.
Regarding the main lineup for next season, he already has a series of drafts in his mind, but for it to become a reality, the players need to understand his intentions and be willing to make contributions and sacrifices for the team.
The people he asked for dedication and sacrifice happened to be the team's captains and vice-captains, Argentinian Zanetti and Colombian Cordoba.
