Chapter 388 Transforming Base
January 8th is a special day for the Nellazuri people.
This day is not a special day, but because this is the first time that Inter Milan's new coach Jiang Mu has led the team to train, it has become special.
Facing the opportunity to have close contact with magical coach Jiang Mu, Xiaoyu did not extinguish the enthusiasm of Inter Milan fans. Training began at 10:30, and less than 9:30, nearly 3,000 Inter fans lined up at the gate of the base waiting for Jiang Mu's arrival!
The doorman couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw so many fans coming, because the last time there were so many fans was half a month ago. At that time, Inter Milan lost 0:6 to AC Milan, and the extremely angry fans surrounded the Appiano Gentile training base to ask the team clearly. At that time, the fans and players sent After a fierce conflict, even coach Tardelli was not spared. After that, Moratti was determined to fire Tardelli.
When Moratti's BMW carried Jiang Mu to the Pinettina training base, the anxiety of the Nellazuli's waiting turned into enthusiasm. They shouted Jiang Mu's name and shouted for Jiang Mu hard, especially for some of Jiang Mu's fans. They climbed up the guardrail and climbed up the big tree next to the wall. In order to be able to take a positive photo of Jiang Mu.
Moratti personally drove Jiang Mu to the training base, which surprised the managers, doormen and first players of the stadium. Usually, Moratti often went to the Pinetti training base, but he had never been a free driver. This time, he personally sent Jiang Mu to the Pinettina training base, which shows that Moratti Jiang Mu's favor.
The Pinettina base is located between Milan and Como. In 1962, at the strong request of coach Herrera, it was funded by Moratti's father Angelo Moratti. But the purpose of building this base is only for training. There are no accommodation facilities at all, only training grounds, gyms and swimming pools. In 1965, there was a small main building at the Pinettina base, but the problems of uncoordinated structure and imperfect functions of the base have been left behind.
Jiang Mu came early, an hour earlier than the training time he requested. The purpose was to see the training base, but after he came, he found that there were already players, it was Zaneti.
Sanetti has always been the first, at least the first player to enter the base. Even before he was the captain, Sanetti had always done so.
Sanetti was the first player to transfer after Moratti took over Inter Milan. Because the Bosman Act had not yet come into effect at that time, Moratti cleaned all five foreign aids left by Pellegrini, replaced by Brazilian stars Carlos, Cayo, Argentine double stars Sanetti, Lambert, and at that time. Paul, the world's top English midfielder. Ins. Later, the four stars who transferred with Sanetti left one by one, and Sanetti remained at Inter Milan.
Because Sanetti's skills are pure, modest and low-key, and his professionalism is extremely high, after Lippi drove away the old captain Bergomi, he couldn't find a local player who could serve the public, so he could only push Sanetti to the captain's position.
Although there are many controversies among Inter fans about Zanetti being the captain of Inter Milan, he believes that Zanetti's position is relatively marginal. Most of the time, he plays as a full-back. He is too low-key, lacks enough prestige, and it is difficult to control his teammates. Every time the team encounters a dispute, he is often wise to protect himself and can't get up. Use. However, Sanetti is loyal, diligent and old enough. Except for his talented Inter Milan, he really can't find a material to be the captain. So after Lippi's class, Tardelli took over and didn't find his own captain. Sanetti was still in charge.
Sanetti, who was playing on the court, saw Jiang Mu and Moratti and hurried forward to say hello, "Hello, Coach Jiang, Chairman."
"Hello, Javier." Moratti greeted Sanetti with a smile.
"Morning, Javier, I'm going to walk around the base. Come with me." Jiang Mu has always had a good impression on the loyal old minister and evergreen tree of Inter Milan, and did not intend to replace him as a captain. Although he used the more domineering Van Bommel when he was in Alkmaar, he did not have prestige at that time and needed a captain who could control the locker room. Now, he has After being the European champion, a Sanetti-style captain is more suitable for him, which can facilitate the communication between him and the players.
Before Jiang Mu coached, the media and fans agreed that Inter Milan needed an iron-fisted coach, a devil coach like Herrera in the big international era, in order to control these big stars. In addition to magic, Jiang Mu's reputation outside also had an iron-fisted name, because he was before the season. The devil's training is very famous, and many players are almost cried.
Sanetti also thought that Jiang Mu was a serious, indifferent and cold-blooded guy, but after meeting, he found that Jiang Mu talked to him very gently and straightforwardly, just like a college student.
"Okay."
Naturally, Sanetti had no possibility of refuse, so he followed Jiang Mu and Moratti to see the base that he had been living and trained for five years and saw the base many times.
Jiang Mu had heard about the roughness of Inter Milan's training base for a long time, but after watching it in person, he found that it was really rough. There was only a court with a runway. The player's room was narrow and the light was insufficient. The only window was located near the roof, only the size of a palm, and the air conditioning system was even more like a group. Shit, it's cold in winter and hot in summer.
And I heard from Sanetti that Inter Milan has been used to letting players sleep in the room of the Pinettina base before the home game, which is the same as AC Milan. The closure of the base before the game can not only avoid external interference, but also save a lot of money. Among the previous three giants in Serie A, Juventus had been sleeping in the hotel before the game, because the Bianconeri did not have their own training base.
When Moratti looked at Jiang Mu's training base, his face became more and more ugly. He couldn't help asking, "Jiang, what do you think is wrong?"
"Yes, I'm very dissatisfied with this training base, Mr. Moratti, to be honest, the court is not as important as the training base, because we only need to play on the court, and the players and we have to live here." Jiang Mu told the truth.
Moratti was a little embarrassed and said, "The facilities here are not very good, but this is left by my father. I want to stay to commemorate my father, so I haven't made much changes."
Jiang Mu smiled and said, "Chairman, your filial piety is touching, but I think the more important thing left by the old chairman is the glory of the world, the temperament of a rich family, not a place that makes the players uncomfortable. After all, this is not a scenic spot for tourism, but for living people to live. If you don't plan to transform this base, I hope the players can stay in a star hotel before the game instead of here.
As soon as Moratti heard it, he said, "How can it be? The hotel is too disturbed. I said yesterday that I want to give you the greatest support. Don't worry, what kind of base do you want? Just tell me. After this season, I will make you satisfied."
"Well, this base does not meet the identity of our rich family, and it can't make the players feel the same. Look at the Milanello base next door. The player's room is decorated according to the standards of a five-star hotel. The restaurant is elegant and warm, as well as a billiards room, wireless Internet and other facilities. In almost all respects, the Pinettina base seems backward and outdated.
Moratti said, "Okay, we will start to expand the dormitory of players and staff immediately. Refer to Milaneiro's standards.
As a player, Sanetti has a lot of complaints about this base, but he has never shown it. Seeing that Jiang Mu has just arrived, he benefits the players, and his good impression of Jiang Mu immediately increased by three points. He said, "Some teammates have complained before that the renovation of the dormitory will definitely make the players very happy."
Moratti was very embarrassed, but he immediately went down the donkey and said, "Then why don't you say earlier that Inter Milan needs to create the best working environment to become the best team."
Sanetti was speechless and said to himself, you can't see it yourself.
"We should not only improve some infrastructure to make the players live better, but also change the lawn of the training ground. We need a multi-functional training ground, so that I can arrange players to train in different spaces and achieve continuity. It doesn't take much time to go from one site to another, so the training seems to be very coherent. I can arrange team members to do different training content in different spaces and monitor them at the same time. I can give an example: I stand in the middle of the field, I can let the defenders train on my right hand side, and the left is the striker; I am in the midfielder in front of me and the goalkeeper behind me, and I can always pay attention to everyone's training.
Jiang Mu remembered the base of AC Milan and had a deeper understanding of Moratti. He did not doubt Moratti's love for Inter Milan at all. Without Moratti's crazy love for Inter Milan, or even if Moratti's love was a little dimmed, Inter Milan might have already sunk. However, excessive love has caused a lack of rationality. What the outside world sees is that Moratti starts from love, which leads to the result of hurting Inter.
And from the fact that Moratti likes to buy strikers and big brands, but does not spend a little money to improve the training base, Jiang Mu can see that this Mr. Chairman is a typical great joy, but he is eager for success and impatient, which can't be compared with the businessman and politician of AC Milan, Berlusconi.
"Okay, do everything as you say." Moratti said.
"Well, okay, I can provide you with a renovation plan." Jiang Mudao.
"That would be better." Moratti was overjoyed and admired Jiang Mu a little more, and even admired him. In his opinion, this young man was too knowledgeable.
