Chapter 386 Entering Milan Alone

Milan is a beautiful and elegant city in the northwest of Italy. It is located on the most densely populated and developing Lombard plain in Italy. It is the capital of the province of Milan and the capital of Lombardy. It is also the capital of Lombardy and the economic center of Italy. Its urban GDP accounts for 4.8% of Italy's GDP, and it is also an important transportation point in southern Europe.

Milan is known as the fashion capital of the world. It is the most influential city in the fashion industry, a famous international metropolis, the second largest city in Italy and the economic capital. It has more than half of the world's famous brands, such as Armani, Versace, PRADA, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, MOSCHINO, etc. The base camp of the world's top clothing, where Milan Fashion Week affects world fashion.

Milan is the place that designers around the world yearn for. The great Leonardo da Vinci left the most brilliant works. The La Scala represents the top of the world's opera. The Milan Cathedral, carved with marble, is the largest Gothic building in the world and the second largest cathedral in the world, where Napoleon held a coronation ceremony.

However, what makes Milan most famous is football in addition to fashion. There are the world's most famous teams AC Milan and Inter Milan. The Milan derby twice a year will attract hundreds of millions of fans to watch. Their common home stadium, the Meacha Stadium (AC Milan's fans are called San Siro Stadium) is the hearts of fans everywhere. The holy place in my eyes.

On January 1, 2000, Inter Milan fans ushered in an unusual day.

After two coach changes this season, Jiang Mu, the third coach of Inter Milan, came to Milan, the city of football.

Three years ago, no Italian fan knew that there was a Tianchao coach named Jiang Mu in the world. Three years later, no fan did not know that there was a magic coach named Jiang Mu in the world.

After entering the professional team from the amateur team, with only seven rounds left, Jiang Mu led the small team Alkmaar of the Eerste Divisie to magically advance to the Eerste Divisie, and then broke the monopoly of the top three to the champions and won the double of the League Cup. Then in the second season, he magically won the League Cup and the Champions League. In his arms, he became the second triple champion after Manchester United.

The rise of Jiang Mu's comet and the dazzling light stunned the whole world.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Mu would lead Alkmaar to continue to sweep all the championships, Jiang Mu suddenly resigned from Alkmaar and joined Inter Milan, which had not won the championship for ten years.

The decline of Inter Milan is not all the work of Moratti. As early as when Pellegrini was in power, the chaos of Inter Milan had already been born.

In the 85-86 season, Pellegrini became the new president of Inter Milan, while AC Milan was acquired by Berlusconi. Both of them are thoughtful and promising presidents, but in terms of specific ideas, the two have completely different ideas and methods. Berlusconi paid a lot of money to buy the Dutch Three Musketeers, and Pellegrini built the German troika; Berlusconi was talented and used Saki as the head coach with no seniority. Pellegrini did the opposite and invited Trapatoni, the most prestigious champion coach of Apennine.

AC Milan won the Serie A championship for nine years in the 87-88 season. The following year, Inter Milan's coup was successful, driving AC Milan from the championship. AC Milan won two times in a row in the Champions League. Inter Milan is not comparable to this, but it also historically won the team's first League Cup championship. In the player's honor AC Milan's Gulit, Basten and others have won the European and World Golden Globe Awards, and Inter Milan's Mateus also won the Double Footballer of the Year. It can be said that Inter's performance during this period is reasonable.

However, Italy's 1990 World Cup greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of fans and promoted the development of Italian football, and Berlusconi's great success also made many Italian gold owners eager to try and want to copy the Becky model. At this time, the Italian Football Association also lost the opportunity to relax the restrictions on foreign stars. At this time, capital began to enter Italian football on a large scale, and the pattern of Serie A began to fluctuate and reshuffle. Some of the original old strong teams, constrained by insufficient capital, gradually fell behind. Inter Milan unfortunately became one of the declining giants, and they have even fallen to the point of relegation.

At this time, Massimo. Moratti entered the football circle and bought 69.6% of Inter Milan from Pellegrini and officially became the big boss of Inter.

Masimo. Moratti is a major shareholder and board member of the Saras Company. He relies on the deep connections of the Moratti family and has rich financial resources. Massimo's father was the founder of the "Great International" in the 1960s. As the heir of the Moratti family, he has personally experienced the Great International era. Fans believe in Masimo. Moratti has the ability to restore the glory of Inter. He is the most suitable person to replace Pellegrini. And Massimo. Moratti also believes that he can follow his example and rebuild this great team.

But the fans and Moratti's ideas are too optimistic.

Moratti is rich, but having money does not mean that he will spend and invest. Most of Moratti's assets come from his father's inheritance, which is essentially different from Berlusconi's own start. Although Moratti's investment in the past five years is comparable to that of Berlusconi, in the end, the results of the two are very different. On the other hand, although Moratti himself has experienced the previous great international era, he was just a child and did not participate in the construction of the great international era. What football brought him was more emotional **, rather than rational thinking. Moratti, who is the president of the club, is still the main attribute of fans, not the top manager of the rich family.

Moratti's special identity played a great role in his entry into Inter, but it also invisibly put great pressure on him. People's wish is for their son to inherit his father's business, and Moratti can be compared with his father at any time. Everyone can't help asking, can Moratti surpass his father? Can Moratti create a great international era? Or, is Moratti a rich second generation who can only spend money? Wait a minute. In a sense, Moratti's father was so successful that he became his biggest enemy and the sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Because of this, Moratti was very impatient during the presidency of Inter Milan, eager to make his own name to get rid of his father's shadow, but contrary to his wishes, he was unable to hurry. At the beginning, there was hope of winning the championship and winning the runner-up and third place, but later it hovered around seven or eight places, and this season it actually fell to 11th place. Suddenly back to the time when Moratti took over five years ago.

At this time, Moratti invited Jiang Mu, who was less than 30 years old, to coach Inter Milan, who had accumulated corruption for ten years, and also handed over the transfer power to Jiang Mu, which caused a huge sensation in Italian football. Of course, this sensation was negative.

Although Jiang Mu has made amazing achievements before, after all, he has been coaching for a short time and has never coached a rich family. It is a great question whether he can control the superstar of Inter Milan, and whether Jiang Mu is in his twenties can bear it for ten years. The accumulated drawbacks and the pressure to win the league championship are also full of worries.

However, the Italian media chose to go to the airport to welcome Jiang Mu's arrival, both of them were criticized by the Italian media, supported by the fans of Inter Milan, or were frightened or hopeful.

At 20:45 p.m., when the plane of the new head coach Jiang Mu arrived at Milan's Marpanza Airport, the airport had gathered more than 3,000 fans, many of whom were Chinese fans. Many Inter Milan fans put up a huge banner to welcome Jiang Mu.

In addition to many fans, there are also hundreds of paper media and TV reporters. Like fans, they hold cameras and look anxiously at the sky, waiting for the arrival of Jiang Mu.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Mu, wearing a black windbreaker, had only one person, no bodyguard, no agent, and no assistant. Just like this, a suitcase came to this great city alone.

Many years later, Gian, a reporter from La Gazzetta dello Sport, who was not very famous at that time. Carlo recalled, "Jiang is wearing an Armani windbreaker, black, with short hair, and his eyes are resolute and calm, like a lonely and confident oriental magician. At that moment, I suddenly felt that he could definitely change the fate of Inter Milan.

Jiang Mu didn't seem to expect so many people to pick up. He stopped and looked at the fans for more than ten seconds, and then greeted the Inter Milan fans in Italian with a smile, "Good evening. Nera Zuri, from now on, I am the most loyal member of Inter Milan. In order for you to be happy, I will lead the team to win all the championships. Thank you!"

Jiang Mu's arrogant declaration caused a burst of screams from the fans. When Inter's record was poor, morale was low, and the prospect was confused, Jiang Mu's wild words greatly improved the team's morale. The fans were infected. They took out their cameras and took pictures at Jiang Mu and shouted "Jiang Mu Jiang Mu!"

Reporters also squeezed over one after another. The camera was aimed at Jiang Mu, and the microphone was handed to Jiang Mu's mouth like a banana.

"Let's talk about how you feel about Milan?"

"Why do you coach Inter Milan at this time?"

"What is your annual salary? Is it convenient to disclose?"

"Are you going to buy those stars, do you have Zidane..."

......

The passengers on the airport were shocked by the momentum of the fans and reporters. They all stopped and watched, and many people asked each other which singer or star was coming.

Just as Jiang Mu was considering not answering, Inter Milan club manager Auriari and Jiang Mu's agent Feng Ke came to Jiang Mu with bodyguards and security guards. They blocked all the reporters and surrounded Moratti's BMW. They came to pick up Jiang Mu and Moratti to eat together.
