Chapter 17 Crisis
Jingxuan's continuous high-profile performance has won unanimous praise from the club, but not everyone is happy.

Especially when the content of Jingxuan's new contract was exposed in the locker room, many people felt jealous in their hearts.

Although the club's internal regulations prohibit discussing personal contract treatment issues, there is no impenetrable wall in the world.

Especially after it was exposed that Jingxuan spent 200 million euros to buy a luxury house for his parents in the suburbs of Milan, more people knew that Jingxuan, who was under 17 years old, had signed a fat contract.

You must know that his current salary in the club is second only to Ibrahimovic, Vieira and Figo, and is higher than captain Zanetti. Of course, the old captain Zanetti did not pay attention to this.

But with Vieira's comeback, Dacourt and Solari's return from injury, and Figo, who has a number of participation clause in his contract, Jingxuan is an unscrupulous competitor.

And Jingxuan's position also affects the nerves of left back Grosso.

You must know that Vieira's comeback, as long as the state allows, must be the main force of the iron fight.

If Jingxuan and Vieira play at the same time, plus Cambiasso.

Then captain Zanetti must return to the left-back position, which Grosso does not want to see.

And Inter Milan's formation is currently dominated by 4312, and the position of the forward midfielder has always been occupied by Stankovic.

Coupled with Inter Milan's twin tower configuration, Recoba can also play on the wing. In this way, Figo's chances to play will be greatly reduced, which will affect his contract.

Similarly, Dacourt and Solari, who were able to get opportunities to play from time to time, may also have a sharp drop in chances of playing because of the existence of Jingxuan.

In addition, Jingxuan's salary is higher than that of Cambiasso, Stankovic and other team backbones, so that he is now in a very delicate situation.

Although the team's locker room looks very harmonious on the surface, teammates also talk and laugh with Jingxuan during training.

But Jingxuan observed more than once that some old players chatted with the head coach Mancini alone after training.

Although I don't know what to talk about, but Jingxuan has a premonition that most of it has something to do with the playing time of the game.

Tomorrow is the last round of Serie A. With the recovery of all the wounded, Inter Milan's internal competition is also intensifying.

Many players' contract clauses have requirements for the number of appearances. Of course, it is also related to appearance fees and whether they can maintain a good competitive state in order to renew a big contract.

After training this afternoon, Jingxuan stayed on the field with Ibrahimovic to practice free kick shooting as usual, and he will also go for a long-distance run later, which is a system requirement.

To Jingxuan's surprise, the head coach Mancini did not drive away. He stayed in the training ground, called Jingxuan aside, and said kindly:
"Jing, tomorrow's game arranges you to take turns, you can go home early and have a good rest for the weekend."

When Jingxuan looked at Mancini with surprised eyes, Mancini nodded, patted Jingxuan on the shoulder, and explained with a smile:
"You're still young, you can't consume your body too much, there will be more opportunities in the future."

Of course Jingxuan understood Mancini's intentions, and since that was the case, he had nothing to say.

Nodding to Mancini, it is regarded as respect for this Bole.After all, without the support of Mancini, it is impossible for him to enter the professional league so quickly.

After Mancini left satisfied, Jingxuan returned to the court, and Ibrahimovic joked with great interest:

"What's the matter? Seeing that you are acting so intimately, the head coach invited you to his house for a date at night?"

Jingxuan shook his head with a wry smile. Although Ibrahimovic joined Inter Milan for the first year, he has a particularly high status in the locker room.

He usually likes to make jokes about his teammates. Although it is easy to go too far sometimes, even veteran players will not care about him.

After all, he is a master of black taekwondo, who can directly headshot when he lifts his legs, who dares to provoke him?
"How come, the coach told me that I can take a day off tomorrow."

Hearing Jingxuan's words, Ibrahimovic gave him a deep look, did not continue this topic, but said half-jokingly:

"Boy Jingxuan, in future matches, don't shoot blindly and pass the ball to me, you know?"

Of course Jingxuan understood the reason why Ibrahimovic said this. It is said that there are special clauses in his contract.

If the number of league goals in a single season exceeds 20, there will be additional bonuses, but this season is definitely hopeless.

On the second day of the league final match, Jingxuan did not go to the scene to watch the match.

The Turin team can be regarded as the old enemy of Inter Milan. Although Inter Milan has won the championship ahead of schedule, they have no desires, but facing such an opponent,
The gang of big brothers on the Inter Milan field will definitely kill each other desperately.

The result was just as Jingxuan expected, Inter Milan defeated the Turin team 3:0 without bloodshed at home.

It is worth noting that in this game, Vieira, Zanetti and Cambiasso, who returned from injury, formed a three-back combination

With the addition of Stankovic who roamed in front, Inter Milan's original 4312 formation has returned to the fans.

Moreover, Luis Figo, who had not played for two consecutive games before this game, also came off the bench and contributed an assist.

With the addition of Recoba and Adriano who came off the bench, Inter Milan has returned to the personnel configuration in the middle and early stages of the season.

A feeling of worry appeared in Jingxuan's heart in front of the TV. He knew that with the current staffing of Inter Milan, as long as there was no wave of injuries, it would be fine without him.

Although the top management of the club supports themselves, the outside world also expects the supernova Shen Jingxuan to reach a higher level and become a new generation of leaders like Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney.

But only people in the circle understand that it is far from easy to establish and consolidate one's position among the rich and powerful.

Some rookies occasionally perform well in two games, and then they are short-lived and disappear from everyone.

Maybe the fans will blame it on injuries or lack of self-discipline, but some young players have become more and more mediocre without knowing it.

The real reason is very complicated. Various interpersonal relationships, the recognition of the big players in the team, and the consistency of interests are all important.

Although the team's top management attaches great importance to Jingxuan, it will not work if they don't get enough support from their teammates.

For example, as a striker, if your teammates are dissatisfied with you, he doesn't need to be too obvious, he just needs not to pass the ball to you on the field,
Or deliberately pass the ball a little bit so that you can't get the ball and shoot comfortably.Or when you are passed, don't help you defend.These can virtually affect a person's performance on the court.

Jingxuan understands that as a Chinese, he has not yet been recognized by all the team leaders, and has even moved some people's cakes.

Now it is either gradually being squeezed out, and then sinking; or further improving personal abilities, making everyone convinced and dependent on themselves.

Looking back on Inter Milan's Champions League matches this season, Jingxuan understands that he has a chance.

Inter Milan's midfielder lacks speed and creativity, has more than enough defense, but lacks offensive ability.

When facing weaker opponents in Serie A, they can use defensive counterattacks and rely on the personal abilities of the stars to solve problems.

But in the Champions League, in the face of powerful opponents' frontcourt pressing and pressing style of play, it is difficult for Inter Milan's slow midfielder to organize a quick counterattack and support the forward players.

Coupled with Inter Milan's several major centers, the characteristics are repeated.

Ibrahimovic and Adelaide are both fulcrum centers with relatively slow movements and speed.

Facing strong teams, the effect of counter-defense is not outstanding.

Crespo is a spot-grabbing center who relies on feeding the ball from the midfield and the wing, and is suitable for ball-possessing teams.

Cruise's ability is relatively weak, and his characteristics are not clear enough.

Although Recoba has excellent dribbling and shooting skills, he is more suitable to play as a second striker, and he is too old and has no absolute speed.

Therefore, Inter Milan's seemingly luxurious and explosive striker lineup is incompatible with its own midfield configuration when facing top teams.

It belongs to anti-counterfeiting, but there is no top midfielder who can pass through like a scalpel. The speed and frequency of forward players are slow, and they cannot open up the attacking space, resulting in low scoring efficiency. It is always difficult to do anything in the Champions League.

Coach Mancini certainly knows the crux of Inter Milan, but this 4312 defensive counterattack formation is his guarantee in Serie A.

But for a giant team like Inter Milan, the Champions League championship is the ultimate goal.

In particular, AC Milan next door won the Champions League in the 2006-2007 season, which stimulated the nerves of the Neilari ancestors.

So Mancini will face more pressure in the new season. To put it bluntly, anyone in this Inter Milan team can win the Serie A championship, but if the Champions League is still sixteen years old, it will be boring.

Mancini had to make some changes to allow Inter to play better and score more goals in the Champions League.
