Martins bid farewell to Inter Milan with tears. On the day when the transfer market began, Martins gave his own speech: "I am very lucky to grow up in Inter Milan. Inter Milan has changed my destiny. In my heart, Inter Milan
It will always be my true love. Now that I have left Inter Milan, if one day Inter Milan needs me, I will come back without hesitation."
Martins' farewell declaration touched many Inter Milan fans. Many fans felt that the club had gone too far and sold such a loyal and capable striker. However, many fans understood what the club meant.
, Inter Milan is now playing overall football, and those who remain are basically players with better cooperation awareness. Even Adriano is changing... Under this situation, it is even more impossible for Inter Milan to keep Martins.
——The number of their forwards is actually quite sufficient now.
Dick was also helpless about this. Sometimes if you want to move forward, you have to abandon some things. The only thing that makes him believe is that Inter Milan will play overall football next. Martins is indeed useless, at least to a large extent.
In this way, letting him leave is a good thing for him and Inter Milan.
The four players sold have cashed out 22 million euros. Now the transfer funds that Dick can use have exploded to 50 million euros. Moratti is a little anxious about this - this guy, no
Maybe he wants to hold on to the money and not buy anyone...
It was Facchetti who dissuaded him. He could not win the Champions League and Dick would not get a share. This clause was much harsher than Dick's terms in Dortmund at the time. Dick was not a fool and he would definitely pursue maximizing profits.
This is actually the case.
Four players from the front, middle and back lines have left, and now there is only one signing. Farinos also wants to leave Inter Milan. Although he cannot be sold for much money, he does not have to worry about where to go.
In this way, Inter Milan's current midfielder begins to look extremely weak again. Semioli and Karagounis have left, Farinos is about to leave, and Pandev and Di Natale are pushed to the front line.
That is to say, there are only five players left in Inter Milan's midfield - Zanetti, Mascherano, Perrotta, Stankovic, and Figo, who just joined.
It is imperative to supplement the midfield. The main force is basically enough now, but the substitutes still need to be strengthened.
The same is true for the defense. Pasquale was sold to Parma, and Arbeloa can become the substitute at left back. In this case, there is still a lack of substitutes at the center back position, but Dick has been prepared for this.
Selling half of Chiellini's ownership to Fiorentina last season, this approach worked well - Chiellini played 37 times in Florence as a left back, almost full attendance, and scored three goals.
Not bad, after the baptism of the relegation battle, Chiellini no longer has any problems in terms of experience. What Dick has to do now is to train this future main defender of the Italian national team.
Cannavaro and Materazzi performed quite well last season, but they are not young after all. There will be more rotations this season. It is also a way to make appropriate rotations after the defense line stabilizes.
A suitable choice, and such conscious rotation and exercise can allow Chiellini to get through the adaptation period faster.
Historically, Chiellini's transition from left back to center back was a complete rush. The season he returned to Juventus, he was just a substitute. Juventus was relegated due to the Calciopoli and the center back was full of injuries.
, so Chiellini was pulled to play central defender because of his good height (1.86 meters). As a result, he was demolished in Serie B for a season. After returning to Serie A, because of the unfavorable recruitment at the time, what about Andrade Meribel?
Either injured or in poor condition, he was pulled to play as a central defender. He was once again criticized for half a season. He was criticized on the field and booed by his own fans on the sidelines. Under such pressure, Chiellini quickly grew up and became that
The backbone of the Italian national team's defense after becoming one of the top central defenders.
This approach is almost impossible to copy. After all, if it weren't for various coincidences, Chiellini was almost sold by Juventus several times. However, when Dick knew Chiellini's potential, he could naturally do better.
Prescribe the right medicine.
His poor performance in the first two seasons at Juventus was mostly due to the fact that he was not yet accustomed to the central defender position - full-backs and central defenders faced completely different situations and needed to display different abilities. Chiellini
Having played as a full-back for more than ten years, he naturally needs to adapt. In addition, he was basically pushed out of the game at Juventus because he originally joined the team as a left-back and was temporarily pulled to play as a central defender, regardless of training.
Or is there a problem with mental preparation, so how much better can the performance be?
It's different under Dick. After recalling him, Dick will naturally slowly transform him from the beginning, and then let him adapt to the new position in games such as the Italian Cup, and then prepare to give Cannaval
Ronaldo or Materazzi will take over - in terms of technical characteristics, he and Materazzi are very similar. They are both tall and deep-lying central defenders. The deep-lying central defenders need to cultivate more good awareness. Materazzi is in
He has suffered a lot in this regard, and with Chiellini by his side, he can avoid many detours.
So next, Dick began to prepare to take back Chiellini. After some bargaining with Florence, Inter Milan redeemed half of Chiellini's ownership for four million euros. Next season he will
Will return to play for Inter Milan.
Regarding the defense, Dick does not plan to make any big moves. The performance of the defense last season was quite good, and Cannavaro and Materazzi's cooperation has become increasingly tacit. With Chiellini's return, the substitutes
There is nothing to worry about - even if someone between Andreoli and Chiellini has a problem, there is still a central defender named Bonucci in the youth team...
Bonucci was introduced from the second division team Viterbo as a youth player this summer. In fact, he was already a member of Inter Milan before the summer was over. Dick laughed after learning the news - he
I do know that Bonucci was born in Inter Milan, but he was not taken seriously in Inter Milan. As a supplement to the transfer of Milito and Motta, he was sent to Genoa, and then was loaned to Bari. As a result, he performed well and was selected for the Italian national team. However,
Last season, he checked the members of the Inter Milan youth team and found no eye-catching names. He did not expect that he would only join Inter Milan at this time - in this case, he felt that he would not mind giving this young man more opportunities.
, make a certain degree of investment for the future.
The defense line has no problem after taking back Chiellini, and the forward line also does not need to make any adjustments. The one who needs major surgery is still in the midfield.
Perhaps because of a certain habit, Dick valued local players no matter which team he was in - when he was at Atletico Madrid, he introduced Vicente and retained Baraja, Belleron, and Cap
De Vera, Molina - these are Spanish players, and they also trained Torres. In Dortmund, he introduced Frings, reused Kyle, Metzelder, and trained Gomez...
Last season, he introduced five Italian players, Perrotta, Maggio, Toni, Semioli, and Di Natale. This was the most Italian players introduced by Inter Milan's first team in a single season in the past ten years.
, in the latest Italian national team training session, Inter Milan has six Italian internationals, Toldo, Cannavaro, Materazzi, Zanetti, Perrotta and Toni, which is also a rare Italian in recent years.
The national team has so many Inter Milan players!
And this summer, although Dick sold Pasquale and Semioli, the move to take back Chiellini did not reduce the number of Italians in Inter Milan. Next, he took a fancy to Parr
Last season, Ma was loaned to Serie C team San Benedetto's young midfielder, 19-year-old Luca Chigarini.
Italy has encountered a serious talent gap in the next few years. In fact, it is not that they have no good young players, but that the young players have not been well trained. This is the case with Chigarini. He and teammate Desena were once considered Italy's best players.
The hope of the midfielder, however, with the relegation of Parma, he and Desena also lost the opportunity to go further. He later moved to Atlanta, Naples and Sevilla, as a dispatching midfielder, in such a turbulent situation
Naturally, he cannot grow well under the circumstances, but in Dick's view, this young man has potential. If he can be properly trained, he will have the opportunity to grow better.
Parma naturally does not want to let go of the promising star of its youth training, but Inter Milan is now extremely attractive. Dick did not introduce Cambiaso, Solari and Samuel, which makes Inter Milan's
The Barbeque Gang dissipated before it was formed. Instead, the number of Italian players began to increase dramatically. In fact, at this time, Italian players had no fear of Inter Milan, and they were not worried about not having a chance. Now Inter Milan
, the number of Italians in the team is the largest, and the leader of the locker room is Italian Materazzi... In addition, there were six Italians in the main team last season, and Italians who want to join Inter Milan have fewer worries.
When the players themselves wanted to leave, Parma's efforts seemed a bit inadequate.
For four million euros, Dick made Inter Milan's Italian players achieve parity.
Chigarini is naturally just a supplement. Such young players will absorb a lot of experience even if they are on the bench. The recruitment of midfielders is far from stopping.
If Chigarini is an investment in the future, then Dick's next goal is to be a fairly standard capable substitute.
The younger brother of Arsenal's main defender Kolo Toure, the 23-year-old Cote d'Ivoire player Yaya Toure. This player who is currently playing in Ukraine is not well-known. He has tried out at Arsenal before, but
Wenger was not interested in him, so after leaving the Belgian team, he came to Ukraine and performed well in the next two seasons - now the Greek team Panathinaikos is interested in him
However, at this time, Inter Milan extended an olive branch to him.
Yaya Toure is undoubtedly a good signing target. He is now 23 years old and has begun to mature. As an unknown player, it is acceptable to become a substitute in Inter Milan. More importantly,
, his worth is not very high. Dick only spent one million euros to bring this Ivory Coast international to Inter Milan. Although he is a non-EU player, Inter Milan has a non-EU quota this summer.
, Maicon still has one year left on loan, so there is no need to worry about insufficient non-EU quotas.
