Five hundred and thirtieth chapters make a lot of money
For the World Cup that just passed, it can be said that it was a climax. Brazil, the favorite, was defeated by France, which was full of veterans, in the quarter-finals. Adriano Rokaka and other top players performed collectively sluggishly in the World Cup. Italy
The team must win, and they met France, who was also not optimistic, in the finals despite being not favored by others, and finally won in a penalty shootout. Such an ending was indeed something that most people did not expect.
For Inter Milan fans, they were quite happy after the end of this season. Their team won the league championship and the Champions League. In the World Cup, Materazzi, Cannavaro, Perrotta and
As the main force of the Italian national team, Toni made great contributions in winning the championship. Materazzi and Toni both scored two goals in the game and were the players with the most goals in Italy. Cannavaro ended the World Cup
He was later named the best player in the World Cup. Such an honor was enough to make Inter Milan fans feel sincerely happy!
But for Dick, he changed his habit of finalizing most transfers before the transfer window started this summer. Instead, he waited silently. During the World Cup, he only made a few small transactions——
He took back Maicon from Monaco, loaned Andreoli, a young defender who could not play the main role at Inter Milan, to Chievo, and promoted young defender Bonucci from the youth team. These are all his actions.
Although the championship team does not need to make too many adjustments, such a move is indeed small enough. Inter Milan's main defense line is already very old. In the midfield, Figo is probably in good shape after his outstanding performance in the World Cup.
It will also gradually decline. At this position, perhaps adjustments should be made.
As for the striker, no one thinks that Inter Milan needs to make adjustments. The combination of Tony and Adriano is the best striker combination in the world, plus Cruz, Di Natale and Pandev can safely serve as substitutes.
players and such a forward combination, there is no need for any changes.
However, Dick has never made any changes in the midfield. Instead, he is waiting for a chance to change his position on the front line.
After the World Cup, the Calciopoli penalty was put back on the agenda. Finally, after the second-instance judgment on July 25, Juventus was punished and relegated to Serie B. The new season was deducted 17 points and restarted. Lazio, Fiorentina and AC
Although Milan remained in Serie A, corresponding points were deducted. Lazio and Fiorentina lost their qualifications to participate in European competitions, and AC Milan barely retained their qualifications to participate in the Champions League.
Regarding such a penalty, many people are dissatisfied and think that the penalty is too light, and many people think that the penalty is too heavy. However, this result is basically doomed, and for most giants, the relegated Juventus will become a
supermarket……
In fact, before the Calciopoli penalty was issued, Juventus had already been poached. Capello left Juventus and joined Real Madrid with his disciple Emerson, while Thuram and Zambrotta were hired.
Barcelona is attracted, but as for Dick, he has been standing still. He doesn't really want Vieira, the French midfielder, because his salary is too high, and historically he only played half a season after joining Inter Milan.
He is constantly recuperating from injuries during the rest of the time, and his contribution to the entire team is not particularly large.
What Dick wants is Ibrahimovic. After all, this forward is one of the best forwards in the future. If Ibrahimovic can really form a combination, then such a combination can indeed have strong strength.
It's just that with Tony, Dick is still hesitating whether he wants Ibrahimovic. If all three want it, then there are too many forwards, which does not meet Dick's requirements, unless Tony wants to leave.
Compared with Ibrahimovic, Dick certainly wants him more. After all, Tony is not young anymore. This state will start to gradually decline after a year or two at most, while Ibrahimovic is younger and can still maintain it for a long time.
In excellent condition, if such a replacement can be carried out, it will be beneficial in the long run.
But what Dick didn't expect was that before Tony had even thought about leaving, Adriano had already thought about it.
Dick has not spent any money this summer. He still has all the 30 million euro transfer budget given by Moratti in his own hands. There is no cost to take back Maicon, and it is even free to promote Bonucci from the youth team.
He planned to use the money on Ibrahimovic.
However, just as the Calciopoli ended, Chelsea extended an olive branch to Inter Milan - they hoped to buy Inter Milan's Brazilian striker Adriano for 50 million euros!
After hearing the news, Dick was also shocked. Historically, Chelsea had indeed been interested in Adriano, but now they have spent more than 40 million to buy AC Milan's nuclear warhead Shevchenko.
You already have enough top strikers, but now you want to buy Adriano? What kind of rhythm is this?
Drogba, Shevchenko, Adriano... sounds great, but wouldn't Robben be included? Plus their midfielders, it would be really overcrowded...
Dick originally thought that this was just Mourinho trying to make him feel bad, but with the subsequent contact, he was shocked to find that Chelsea really wanted to buy Adriano - in fact, they wanted to buy Shepchin.
Co was requested by Chelsea owner Abramovich, while Mourinho requested Adriano. For Abramovich, it doesn't make much difference whether he spends 50 million euros or 100 million euros in a summer. Now he
We are still in the honeymoon period with Mourinho. Now that he has added Ballack and Shevchenko, whom Mourinho does not want, he will try his best to meet Mourinho's requirements.
Faced with this price, Dick hesitated a little. After all, it was 50 million euros, not 5 million, and if Adriano was sold, Ibrahimovic could be bought at a much lower price. From the tactical characteristics
In other words, the combination of Ibrahimovic and Toni seems to be better than the combination of Ade and Ibrahimovic. After all, both forwards need more ball rights, but Toni does not.
After discussing with Moratti, Dick decided to reject Chelsea's request. After all, Adriano's current state is indeed very good. He is not in decline as he was in history. Although his performance in the World Cup
Not good, but his performance in the league and Champions League last season is enough to prove that he is the most powerful forward now. Selling such a forward easily will be a huge loss.
But the next day after rejecting Chelsea's offer, a new offer from Chelsea came. Abramovich was impatient for millions more, so he directly raised the offer to 60 million euros, and what followed was
, and Adriano’s personal request. While still in Brazil, he told Inter Milan through his agent that he felt that he had nothing to pursue in Italy and hoped to go to the Premier League to complete more pursuits...
Hearing this, Dick couldn't help but laugh angrily - Nothing to pursue? I don't even dare to say such a thing. How old are you to dare to say such a thing?
But think about it, although Adriano's request is a bit unbelievable, it is understandable. After all, although he is the king in Inter Milan, his current salary is only 4.5 million. Although he is in the Inter Milan team
It is already a top-level income. However, the salary offered by Chelsea this time is 8 million euros, which is fully double what he got at Inter Milan. Adriano really cannot support such a temptation.
, and he has won so many honors in Inter Milan, and under Dick's coaching, he has never been able to become the most important person, so it is no wonder that he has such an idea.
"If you want to leave, then go."
Dick was not a procrastinator. After he called Moratti, he gave up the idea of retaining Adriano. Since he wanted to leave and Chelsea paid a high price, he couldn't push the money out——
Knowing that all the remaining funds from the transfer fee this season may become his bonus, he feels that he can thank Abramovich for his generosity.
Sixty million euros! This has tied the record for Figo's transfer to Real Madrid at the time. If the exchange ratio between euros and US dollars was not different at that time, then Adriano's transfer would be a new record - after all
At that time, Zidane's transfer fee was US$66.2 million. According to the current exchange rate, 60 million euros is equal to more than 70 million US dollars, which has exceeded Zidane's transfer fee!
Such a transfer immediately shocked the entire European football world, but Moratti was smiling bitterly - according to the agreement he signed with Dick before, if Inter Milan wins the Champions League this season, then Dick
If he doesn't spend any money next, he can get a bonus of 90 million euros from Inter Milan!
Such a bonus would make even Moratti feel pained.
But soon, Dick proved that he was not just for money, he had to ensure results first - a few days later, Inter Milan announced that Juventus's Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic had paid 2,500
The transfer to Inter Milan for a million euros filled the void of Adriano - although his price is more than half that of Adriano, considering that Juventus was relegated to Serie B, it can be considered
It's a big sale at a low price. Such signings are enough to fill the gap caused by Adriano's departure.
"Ibrahimovic is a very good player... compared with Adriano? No, no, no player should be compared with any other player, everyone is unique. Ibrahimovic and Adriano are
Different types of players, I will use different methods to treat them. Where will I go? I am the head coach of Inter Milan. There is no doubt about this. In the next season, we will move towards three consecutive Serie A championships. International
It seems that Milan has never won three consecutive Serie A championships. For us, this is a good opportunity to create a record of consecutive championships."
Dick smiled happily at the press conference announcing the signing of Ibrahimovic, and the Swede sitting next to him also showed a very happy smile. Although he has been Inter Milan's opponent in the past two years, but in Juventus
When Tuscans was relegated, joining the stronger Inter Milan was also a good opportunity for Ibrahimovic. After all, he had not won a championship in his two years at Juventus.
