Chinese champion

Chapter 303 Arrival of the Prince of the Blue-Black Empire
Mario moved very quickly. One week after announcing the partnership with the BJ Olympic Committee, two players of the appropriate age for the Chinese National Olympic Team came to Milan at the invitation of Inter Milan, where they will conduct a one-week tour follow training.

These two young players are goalkeeper Wang Lei and full-back Zhang Wen. They are new stars emerging in the domestic youth league, especially Wang Lei, who is only 18 years old this year. The most talented goalkeeper, several European teams have sent invitations to him, but it was not possible for various reasons.

Zhang Wen is Zhang Qi's cousin, and he plays in the same position as his brother, even the technical characteristics are very similar. Of course, there is still a big gap with Zhang Qi who has been immersed in Europe for several years.

The Inter Milan players are also very friendly to the two young players who came to follow the training. Of course, it is undeniable that this is because of Pei Wei's face.

A senior scout from Inter Milan spoke highly of these two young players. This scout has served Inter Milan for more than ten years. Proud work.

The scout’s evaluation of the two is: Wang Lei, five-star, young and mature, with a stable mental state, good physical condition, quick response, and has all the qualities to be an excellent goalkeeper. The defect is that the technical movements are not standardized enough. teacher guidance.Zhang Wen, a four-star player, has fast speed, strong agility, excellent footwork skills, and good passing awareness, but his body is relatively thin, and it is difficult to adapt to fierce professional competitions. He needs to strengthen his physical training and increase his shooting ability.

"Yi, are these two young men really so good? Just by looking at your evaluation, you have already surpassed most of our second-team players!" Mancini looked at the report handed in by the scouts and said with some doubts.

Yi Yongbo, a 44-year-old senior Chinese scout for Inter Milan, nodded affirmatively: "Coach Mancini, I don't give them such a high evaluation because they are my compatriots. Like when I saw Pei Wei at the time, it made my eyes shine, but it was enough to shock me! If Pei Wei is a genius who only emerges once in 20 years, then the two of them are geniuses who emerge only once in ten years!"

"But they are just here for training... Even if you want to introduce them, you can only do it after 08." Mancini sighed: "Let them train with the team first, anyway, they will come back next year." Come on, let’s talk about the situation when the time comes.”

Yi Yongbo nodded silently. He also knew that Mancini was not in the mood to take care of the young Chinese players. The recent results in the league made Mancini a little restless, and he couldn't worry about the team. How can I care about two players who are not needed now!

**************************************************
After Mario came to power, his series of measures have received great results, and his success in becoming a partner with BJ Olympics has made him even more famous. The success of this incident has also made him the ace manager in one fell swoop However, compared with Mario's scenery outside the arena, Inter Milan is a bit unsatisfactory inside the arena.

On October 10th, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan was tied 18:2 at home by Spartak Moscow, the weakest team in the group. After three rounds, they ranked third with only four points. Two beautiful long-range shots led Inter Milan’s defense twice, but there was chaos in the defense. Materazci’s reckless tackle in the No. 2-minute penalty area not only gave the opponent a penalty, but also received a red card. In the end, Inter Milan failed to keep the lead at home and watched this weak opponent take away a point.

On October 10, in the seventh round of Serie A, Inter Milan was tied 22:1 by Udinese in an away game. In only 1 minutes of the opening game, Udinese relied on Iaquinta's header to lead Inter Milan. In front of the goal, Pei Wei's shot was added to the goal, but after missing opportunities in a row, the Nerazzurri can only accept the reality of taking away a point. After this round, the Roma team, which is closely behind Inter Milan, relies on Totti's two goals beat Chievo at home, one point ahead of Inter Milan to climb to the top of the standings.

On October 10th, after two consecutive draws, Inter Milan finally ushered in a victory. In the first seven and 25 minutes, they relied on four goals from Ibrahimovic, Ade, Pei Wei and Figo to lead Livorno by four goals at home. In order to prepare for the Milan Derby three days later, Mancini replaced Pei Wei, Vieira and Ibrahimovic, the three absolute main players, but what everyone did not expect was that Livorno played in the remaining 10 minutes. Nei actually scored three goals in a row, narrowing the gap to one goal. Such a big change left everyone dumbfounded. At this time, Inter Milan suddenly woke up and held firmly under the command of captain Zanetti. However, the 10:4 result obviously made the audience very dissatisfied, and they booed for the first time in this season's game.

The unsatisfactory performance in three consecutive games has put a heavy burden on Mancini, but in all fairness, it is not entirely Mancini's business to achieve such a result. A tackle is actually not considered a foul, but an exaggerated flop by the opponent's forward, but Materac's reputation is too bad, and the referee's penalty is too harsh. As for the game against Udinese It was entirely because of bad luck. Inter Milan had many chances to overtake the score in the game, but a misjudgment by the referee and the goal post killed Crespo and Vieira's shot. What about the match against Livorno? , no matter who is leading by four goals, they will relax, and no one wants to see being chased by three goals. Unfortunately, it really happened, which also gives people an illusion, Manci Ni's level is not worthy of this team.

It may be unfair to the young coach Mancini to say this, but to coach in a wealthy club, you have to bear the pressure brought by the fans and the club at any time.

Mancini seems to have more wrinkles and gray hair. Under such circumstances, Inter Milan ushered in the first Milan derby of the season.

The result disappointed all the fans who liked and cared about Inter Milan. 1:2, Inter Milan lost the game in the "away game". Hu Yong, who is half starter and half substitute, played as the main force, and formed a three midfielder with Pirlo and Gattuso. This lineup immediately showed his power. Pei Wei stared at Hu Yong, and the other two midfielders assisted in defense. Under the circumstances, the number of successful breakthroughs is very small, Figo is not in good form in this game, and Vieira and Cambiasso are in the turn of Kaka, Gilardino, Inzaghi and Hu Yong Pirlo. Exhausted by the impact, Kaka first scored a goal with a long shot and was attacked by Inzaghi in the second half. Although Cambiasso scored a goal before the end, he was still powerless.

After losing this game, Inter Milan has dropped to the third place, and the points gap was opened to four points by the Roma team. The voices of the man were immediately heard, and people were waiting for when Moratti, who had lost his patience, would take the lead. Mancini replaced.

Some enthusiastic media even listed a long list of coaches who may succeed Mancini, including Cooper, Lippi, Benitez, Mourinho...these familiar names seem to make sense , but it is impossible to taste it carefully.

Both Benitez and Mourinho are enjoying themselves in the Premier League, and it is basically impossible to give up their basically successful careers and come to Inter Milan, while both Coupa and Lippi have spent a period of failure in Inter Milan , adhering to the principle of "good horses don't turn back", they are unlikely to return to this place that has frustrated them. Lippi has already approved the glittering coat of the world champion, so there is no need for him to smash it. own brand.

The media's speculation is justified. Moratti is indeed about to lose his patience. He gave Mancini two years, but only brought two tasteless Italian Cups and two Super Cups. It is far from enough for Milan, a giant eager to win the championship, and Mancini's vacillation in tactics over the past two years has also disappointed Moratti, although he said nothing when meeting the media. Li is still firmly supporting Mancini, but in fact, he has already prepared a new coach candidate in his heart.

******************************************
"Father, I don't think you can be so rash!" In the study of Moratti's house, the current chairman and vice-chairman of Inter Milan: Massimo Moratti and Mario Moratti, father and son, are having a game discuss aggressively.

"I have given Robert enough chances!" Old Moratti shook his head: "I gave him two years, and he brought me two No.3s and two Italian Cups. I care, but this year, Juventus has been relegated to Serie B, and AC Milan has been deducted eight points. This is already the best time to win the championship in recent years. I will become the laughing stock of the entire European football world! At that time, I, the chairman, will be nailed to the pillar of shame and become the eternal sinner of Inter Milan!"

"Father, please rest assured that Robert has not lost control of the team. With our current strength and advantages, it is not a problem to win the league championship this season! After the Milan derby, the eight games before the winter break Our opponents are all weak teams, so we will usher in a period of grabbing points! Roma will also face opponents such as Fiorentina, AC Milan and Lazio! I believe that before the winter break, we will definitely reach the points No. [-] on the list! As for the Champions League, I don’t think it’s a problem even if we don’t get it, because what we desire most now is the league championship!” Moratti dissuaded: “If the coach is changed now, then the new coach It will take some time to get familiar with the team, so it is very likely that Roma will widen the point difference, and if it causes turmoil at that time, it will really be difficult to catch up!"

"Then do you think Robert still has the ability to lead the team to continue to win?" Moratti's question was serious. In fact, this was also the key point of their discussion, that is, can Mancini still gain the trust of the players? ?Can you still control this team?
"Father, Robert's level of coaching, his ability to understand tactics, and his grasp of the form on the court are all top-notch among young coaches! The experience he has gained on the court and the tactics he learned from Eriksson have reached a level Very good, as you can see from his record when he took Lazio, there was nothing wrong with you choosing him as the head coach at that time!"

"Then why is there such a situation now? There are constant tricks, and the players don't seem to like him very much." The old Moratti didn't understand his son's words.

"Robert can be regarded as a tactical master now, but he is not a psychological master. He can't coordinate the relationship with the players well, and he doesn't care enough about the substitute players. Of course, this is not his fault. There are not many coaches in the world who can achieve these two points at the same time, if we can invite Professor Wenger to be the head coach, then there will be no problem." Moratti Jr. joked.

"If Wenger can come, I would rather give him a salary of 1000 million euros a year...Unfortunately, this is impossible." The old Moratti complained: "Then how do you say to make up for this defect? ​​Can do it at the same time Arsene Wenger is the only coach who has excellent tactical command ability, has affinity and sense of coercion for players, and can make the team move forward steadily."

"What Robert lacks now is someone who can help him stabilize the locker room and have authority among the players." Mario said lightly.

"Isn't Snisa (Old Miha) already doing this work?" Moratti was a little puzzled.

"Snisa did not do enough in this job...Of course, this is not a problem of his ability, it is determined by his identity." Mario explained: "First, he was brought back from Lazio by Roberto. He has only played in our team for two years, his qualifications are not enough to be respected by the players, and second, his personality is not enough to impress all the players."

"Then what should we do?" Moratti continued to ask.

"I already have a candidate. In order to persuade him, I have been lobbying him for almost half a month. Father, I hope you can go there in person, so the possibility of inviting him to work in our Inter Milan is much greater. At this point, Mario spit out a name lightly, which lifted Moratti's spirit.

"Really? Is it really possible for him to come to our club? Great!" Moratti, who is in his 60s, was as happy as a child at this time, "His departure has always been the biggest regret in my heart! I didn't expect to be able to work with him again in this way today! Great, I'm going to negotiate with him immediately!"

Mario looked at his father and smiled. He knew that with his father's good popularity and the relationship with that person, the possibility of convincing him to return to the football circle was much higher.

With the cooperation of that person and Mancini, Inter Milan's coaching staff will definitely not be inferior to any European giants.

When they cooperate with each other tacitly, that is when Inter Milan will truly gain its own era!
**************************************************
"Okay, today's training is over! Assemble!"

Mancini blew his whistle vigorously and gathered all the players in front of him.

The young marshal always has a smile on his face today. You must know that this is the first time that Mancini has a smile on his face during the period of consecutive invincibility and defeat.

"What happened to the coach today? Laughing like he picked up a wallet?" Martins asked Pei Wei quietly, and Pei Wei shook his head: "How do I know, I was still making faces yesterday, why did it suddenly change today? "

Ibrahimovic quietly stretched his head from the side, and said with a strange smile: "Maybe the coach has an affair recently... Ha ha!"

Others almost complained. Mancini is famous for his innocence, and the relationship between him and his wife is also very good. If other people have this kind of thing, it’s almost the same. Ibrahimovic’s words are completely funny Well.

Mancini did not hear the whispers of the players, he said loudly: "Boys, we have a distinguished guest here today, and in the days to come, he will fight side by side with us!"

who is it?Can Mancini say the word "noble"?I don't think it's a player, and it's not the transfer period now.

The players were all guessing in their hearts. At this time, a strange yet familiar voice came from the gate of the training ground: "Hello, everyone!"

Pei Wei looked up, but saw that the eyes of his teammates had all changed, especially those younger players, their eyes were full of admiration and surprise, it was the kind of reverence from the heart, just like a teenager watching It's like the idol I've admired for a long time.

A middle-aged man in light gray casual clothes walked gracefully, with a faint smile on his handsome and weathered face, and waved slightly to the players.

The middle-aged man came to Mancini's side, shook hands with him tightly, his Mediterranean eyes flashed a slightly melancholic color, and then turned to the players: "I think I should introduce myself, I am ..."

Captain Zanetti stood up: "How could we not know you! You don't need to introduce yourself, you are our idol, and we are all your most loyal fans. We are very honored to have you here! Respect Monsieur Roberto Baggio!"
