Chapter 440 The Battle Between Old Friends

The 24th round of away challenge to Perugia is Jiang Mu's 11th game of coaching Inter Milan. In the previous ten games, Inter Milan won all. As a coach who took over halfway, it is unique to be able to achieve such a result.

Perugia is a mid-stream team in Serie A, and the relationship between Inter Milan has always been good. The two clubs often communicate with each other. Now Inter Milan's defensive player Materazzi is from Perugia, and if it weren't for the arrival of Jiang Mu, Perugia's Pieri and Bayoco would probably be next season. Become a person of Inter Milan.

In the matter of Jiang Mu's entry into Inter Milan, Perugia's chairman Gao Qi and Moratti also talked on the phone. He supported Moratti's hiring of Jiang Mu as a coach, because what Inter currently lacks most is such a coach with the ability to pinch sand into a group. Although Jiang Mu's coaching career is short, it shows that he has it. The extraordinary charm of players who are tightly united.

The relationship between Inter Milan and Perugia, as well as the strength of the two teams, is not enough to make this game the focus of Serie A. However, because Perugia and Inter Milan each have a Celestial person, Inter Milan's head coach is Jiang Mu, Perugia is midfielder Ma Mingyu, and Perugia There is also a South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan in the camp, either the Celestial Derby or the Asian derby, or even the double derby, so the match between Perugia and Inter Milan has become one of the focus events comparable to AC Milan vs. Lazio.

Ma Mingyu joined the Perugia team from Sichuan Quanxing on loan on August 7, 2000, with a loan fee of 300,000 US dollars. Ma Mingyu was 30 years old.

In a series of warm-up matches before the season in Perugia, Ma Mingyu, wearing the No. 9 jersey, played well. In the warm-up match between Perugia and the Onbrian regional team San Sekenda on September 20, Perugia beat the opponent 9-0. Ma Mingyu won two yuan in the game and instigated most of the team's offensive.

However, when the new season of Serie A began, head coach Cosmi's team did not have Ma Mingyu's position at all. For half a year in Perugia, he could only struggle for a substitute for most of the time.

However, the original intention of Gao Qi, chairman of Perugia, to introduce Ma Mingyu was not due to Ma Mingyu's strength, but to the vast Chinese market behind him. Therefore, in this match with the popular Inter Milan, Gao Qi will definitely let Kosmi send Ma Mingyu to play, even if it is just a substitute, and with Perugia's current ranking, there is no hope of relegation, and there is no hope in Europe. It is estimated that he will not refuse the president's painstaking efforts.

Ahn Jung-hwan is the first South Korean player to land in Serie A and the second Asian player after Japan's Nakata. Ma Mingyu can only rank third. He also came to Perugia on loan. Unlike Ma Mingyu, An Zhenhuan officially signed the contract after a year of loan.

However, Gao Qi's introduction of An Zhenhuan is not purely from a technical point of view, but more because of the demonstration effect of Nakata Yingshou. In addition, An Zhenhuan, who has the title of handsome star, has a very high popularity among female fans. His handsome appearance and arrogant personality fascinates countless young girls. These are huge. Market potential, so Gao Qicai introduced An Zhenhuan.

In the past half of the season, as one of Ma Mingyu's competitors, An Zhenhuan didn't have many opportunities to play, but it was much better than Ma Mingyu. He played seven league games, but he hasn't scored a goal and an assist.

Although due to the good relationship between Perugia and Inter Milan, there is little possibility of a war of words between them, the media has not forgotten to interview the players, coaches and presidents of the two teams, hoping to create a little saliva.

Gaoqi, chairman of Perugia, is a unique person. It can also be said that he is a person who likes to show his head. He must have missed such a good opportunity. Before the start of the game, Gaoqi commented on the game and made a high-profile speech.

"I believe that Cosmi will let Ma Mingyu play, and I also believe that this will be a wonderful game. For the first time, there will be a Tianchao derby in Serie A. The invincible coach Jiang Mu and the talented Tianchao midfielder Ma Mingyu** collide. I believe that every fan wants to see if Ma Mingyu, who is also a member of the Celestial Empire, can It can crack the invincible magic of Jiang Mu. An Zhenhuan is the core of our future. He is more likely to play than Ma Mingyu. Of course, it is not impossible for the two to play together.

Regarding Matrazi, who played for Perugia and Inter Milan this season, the media believes that this is Perugia helping Inter Milan win the championship, but Gauki has his own opinion. "Matlazi has transferred. He is actually a member of Inter Milan. We keep half a season because we need to relegation. During the winter break, we found that we had no worries about relegation, so we returned it to Inter Milan. This is normal and in line with the rules. Materazzi is a world-class defender. He is very good at grabbing points and cards. There are few people in Serie A who can compare with him, but Materazzi also has his own shortcomings, that is, turning slowly. I think if Jiang Mu With his starting line-up, Cosmi will find a way to deal with him.

Gaoqi is also amazing about whether Inter Milan can win the championship this season. "Juventus basically has no hope of winning the championship. The gap between Inter Milan is only five points now, but the direct dialogue between the two teams will turn Juventus' point advantage into 2 points, and Rome does not have this hidden danger. Their 6 points are real, so I think this season's championship will eventually be between Inter Milan and Rome. Although Inter Milan has magical Jiang Mu, I believe he can win all the leagues except Perugia, but Rome is not vegetarian. Their advantage of two games is likely to make them and Inter Milan can only decide the champion in the last round.

President Moratti thanked Gotti for the importance he valued Inter Milan, but Moratti did not have the slightest ambiguity about the victory or defeat of this game. Moratti, who has seen the dawn of winning the championship, is more eager for the championship at this moment than at the beginning of the season. He said: "There is no doubt that the relationship between me and President Gao Qi is very good, and the two clubs are happy. There have been many years of cooperation between the ministries, but as Jiang Mu said, every game is a life-and-death battle for Inter Milan, and we must win this game. Cosmi's team is well organized, but I believe that Jiang Mu will find a way to win. For Ma Mingyu and An Zhenhuan, I believe they can't pose much threat to our team. After all, they rarely play and it is difficult to guarantee their state.

As a Chinese people from China who fight for life and career in Serie A, Jiang Mu and Ma Mingyu don't have much contact. On the one hand, the event is tense, and on the other hand, Jiang Mu and Ma Mingyu are not sociable people. At the Chinese Spring Festival Gala in Italy, Jiang Mu and Ma Mingyu had dinner together. After chatting, and then there were domestic friends. The two of them met several times, and the relationship could only be said to be plain. But as compatriots, the relationship between the two is better than that of their friends in a foreign country.

There is less contact between Jiang Mu and An Zhenhuan. He doesn't know Korean, but when Ma Mingyu is invited, Jiang Mu and An Zhenhuan have seen each other. As a yellow race, Jiang Mu still has a good impression of the handsome An Zhenhuan.

In this game, he has to play against Perugia, where Ma Mingyu is. Jiang Mu said that it was a little special. "There must be a Chinese compatriot in the opponent's camp. Especially Ma Mingyu is still my friend. Brother Ma is in a difficult situation in Perugia. This is not because Brother Ma's strength is not good, and his footwork is delicate. The vision is wide, and the long-range shot is also very good, but he is too old to come to Perugia. He has no potential to dig and has no time to wait. For a player like him, he either succeeds immediately or has no chance. This is really a pity. I hope that the players of China can come to the European League as soon as possible to exercise, so There is a bigger chance."

Reporters have also asked Jiang Mu if he has thought about buying Asian players such as Ma Mingyu, An Zhenhuan and Nakata Yingshou. Jiang Mu bluntly told reporters that it is difficult for a rich family like Inter Milan to have the opportunity for Asian players to gain a foothold. If Asian players and Chinese players want to gain a foothold in the five major leagues, they'd better find some Perugia. Such a small club, even a team that is weaker than Perugia, so that they may have a chance to play. Although the reputation in the weak team is not as good as in the rich family, sitting on the bench is not conducive to the development of players. Thinking about what kind of players are sitting on the bench of Inter Milan now, I think Asian players should understand. It's your own position."

. Ma Mingyu was very excited about the upcoming match between Inter Milan. He highly praised Jiang Mu's magical performance and strongly expressed his desire to play.

"Jiang Mu is one of the best coaches in the world. He is so young. I believe that he will remove one of them in the near future. The football of the Celestial Empire has been greatly improved, but our status in world football is still very low. Jiang Mu has completed the breakthrough of Celestial Football from another level, making the world's fans re-recognize. Knowing the football of the Celestial Empire is our pride. I hope that one day I can play under his command. Of course, I also hope that he can coach the Celestial National Team in the future.

I even dream of playing in this game. I have been in good shape recently, and I often have goals and assists in training. Whether I can play depends on the coach's intention and tactical needs. I respect the opinion of the head coach, but if I play, I believe I can pose a threat to Inter Milan. After all, I am God. Chaoren, I understand what Jiang Mu is thinking, and I can probably guess what he will do.

As a team in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, Perugia does not have as famous stars as Rome, Juventus, Inter Milan and Lazio, but Cosmi rarely gives An Zhenhuan a chance to play. This made An Zhenhuan a little dissatisfied with Cosmi. Before this game, An Zhenhuan implicitly expressed his dissatisfaction. I hope I can play in such an important game. Everyone understands that if he can play in Inter Milan and beat them, he will be famous. I believe that with my strength and state, I can play, but the head coach can't see my efforts. Coach Hiddink said that if I can't guarantee the time in the club, maybe I can't guarantee my main position in the national team.

In the face of Ma Mingyu and An Zhenhuan's bright or dark expression, Cosmi pretended to be confused, neither letting them play nor did he say that they would not play, because Perugia Chairman Gao Qi would not easily let go of An Zhenhuan and Ma Mingyu out of profit. He was out of actual combat. He doesn't want to use them, but wants to achieve a balance between the two. In addition to occasionally sending them as substitutes to play for a few minutes, he can only pretend to be confused.
