Chapter 416 Five consecutive wins
On Thursday, before the 16th round of the league between Inter Milan and Bari, Recoba completed the signing with Inter Milan. Recoba's annual salary was 5 million euros proposed by Jiang Mu, which was more than ten times higher than his original salary, but it was not the original 7 million euros.
In order to comfort the stars of Recoba and Inter Milan, and to inspire them to play well in the next leagues and cups, Inter Milan President Moratti said that as long as they can achieve good results this season, the players' salaries will rise to another level.
Reporters were surprised by the easy compromise and signing of Recoba, because Recoba had finalized 7 million euros with Inter Milan before, but it was denied by Jiang Mu. Even if it was not for money, it was difficult to swallow this anger, and Cassar's high-profile negotiations before are now suddenly flagging. It's incredible to calm the drum. Many people speculate that this is Jiang Mu who secretly doesn't know what to do, but Jiang Mu's wrist shocked and awed everyone to be able to subdue the madman Casal so easily.
The match between
and Barry did not attract much attention, because Barry is too weak. They are the deputy squad leader of Serie A and have only won one game so far. Even if Inter Milan plays with pure substitutes, they will never overturn the ditch.
In this round, everyone's attention was attracted by Lazio, who changed coach. Lazio's opponent is Fiorentina, who ranked 5th in the league. Because Juventus, AC Milan, Roma and Inter Milan are all weak teams, the match between Lazio and Fiorentina has attracted special attention.
Zoff, the best goalkeeper in Italian history, took over Eriksson's position. Assistant coach Mancini finally failed to take the position, so he resigned and left with Eriksson. Now everyone wants to see how the coach Lazio will perform and whether he can return to the championship again.
People say that changing the coach is like changing a knife. This sentence is true. As soon as Zoff came to the stage, he led Lazio to reverse the decline of being slaughtered by Inter Milan. He killed Fiorentina with good strength 4:1 away, which also proved that Lazio's poor performance was worse than the coach. It was wise to change the coach.
Although the outside world did not pay much attention to it, Inter Milan, which returned home, still attracted nearly 60,000 fans. Inter Milan did not live up to expectations. Under Jiang Mu's rotation system, Inter Milan, who played as a substitute, also easily beat Bari 3-0. Vieri, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal, and Recoba, who also came on as a substitute, finished. This assist.
In several other competitors, Juventus and Roma beat their opponents with a big score of more than 3 goals. The only one who fell out was AC Milan. They were tied 1:1 by Brescia and the points were tied by Inter Milan. Now Inter Milan ranks 6th and only ranked AC Milan with a goal difference. In front of Inter Milan are Juventus, Rome, Lazio, Parma and Atlanta.
With three consecutive wins at the beginning, Jiang Mu's Inter Milan set sail smoothly and has a bright future. In the transfer market, although Jiang Mu's principle is not to buy or sell people, he did not refuse the previously finalized transfer, so Argentina's new star Aimar did not come, Wanpeta left, and Pirlo, Zamorano and Robi Keen stayed.
After the game with Barry, when the transfer window was about to close, Inter Milan ushered in their last signing, Peruzi's central defender Materazzi.
This signing was supposed to be completed at the end of the season, because Perugia needed to fight for relegation, but now Perugia has played well and has reached the tenth place. There is no need to worry about relegation, and there is no hope of Europe. Jiang Mu asked Moratti to complete the transfer ahead of schedule, because of Inter Milan's central defender position and It's not strong. Blanco is old. Simic is not tall enough, the header is not good, and Cordoba is not stable. If you only want to have a place in the Champions League, these central defenders are enough, but if you want to win the championship, you still need to strengthen it in this position, so the 1.93 meters tall and very cunning Materazi has become Jiang Mu's most hope. The player I got.
Perugia felt that he still had the hope of hitting the seat in the UEFA Cup, so he resolutely disagreed. However, Jiang Mu immediately proposed an agreement to rent the Itodivian defender Domolau for free to Perugia for one year, and at the same time to pay Materazzi's transfer fee of $8.15 million to Perugia in a lump sum. Domorao was previously been paid by the international meter. Bastia, who was loaned to Ligue 1 for Lan's performance is also moderate.
Just half a season in advance to give the sold Materazzi to Inter Milan, you can get a free central defender for a year. This good thing made President Perugia Gao Qi excited. After Moratti called, Gao Qi readily gave Materazzi to Inter Milan.
This is the second time that Jiang Mu used his transfer power. It still didn't cost Moratti a penny, but his flexible wrist surprised his Serie A colleagues, because they all thought Jiang Mu was an iron-fisted figure before.
Materazzi struggled from the bottom and even worked in amateur teams for a few years when he was young. In 1995, Materazzi joined Perugia, the second-class team at that time. Materazzi's father is well-known in Italian football, but interestingly, Materazzi not only did not enjoy the benefits of fighting father, but also lost his place in the team because his father quarreled with head coach Aleo.
The next year, Materazzi was loaned to the third-class team Kapi. Two years later, Materazzi went to the mid-end team Everton of the Premier League. In 1999, the turbulent Materazzi returned to Perugia. At this moment, he is 26 years old.
This year, Materazzi broke out in Perugia. As Perugia's central defender, he became the team's best scorer with 12 goals, setting a goal record for the Serie A guard season and being the biggest contributor to the team's relegation.
In the next year, Materazzi became the captain of Perugia, but the famous result was that the small club could no longer keep him. From 2000 to 2001, Juventus, Lazio, Inter Milan and many other big clubs began to play Materazzi's idea, but Inter Milan took the lead and signed him decisively and quickly. The contract was signed, which is also the only useful legacy left by the prodigal son Tardelli for Inter Milan.
To be fair, Materazzi's reputation and status in Serie A and in world football are still very low. Although he can score goals, no team buys him because a central defender can score goals, and the age of 28 does not have much potential for development. His fierce and hot personality is also a There are hidden dangers on the guard line, so Jiang Mu valued Materazzi so much. With a substitute central defender, he also wanted Materazzi to come first, which made the Italian football world very curious. They didn't know what Jiang Mu fell in love with Materazzi.
On the first day when Materazzi came to Pineiano, the training base of Inter Milan, Jiang Mu gave him a surprise, and all the players lined up to welcome the arrival of the unknown central defender.
Materazzi, who is only worth one-fifth of Vieri and Ronaldo, was very excited. As soon as he came to Inter Milan, he was full of goodwill and gratitude to the coach of his age. Later, he also became the most loyal supporter of Jiang Mu.
In the 17th round of the league, Inter Milan challenged the mid-stream team Bologna away. Before the previous three consecutive victories, Inter Milan was very popular. The bookmakers even thought that Inter Milan could conceive two goals away from home, and Inter Milan once again proved that they no longer fell off the chain as before, with Vieri, Yugowizi and Dibbiao's goal, Inter Milan easily beat the opponent 3-0, and the new central defender Materazzi also appeared in the last ten minutes. His performance was moderate, no eye-catching performance, and no mistakes.
After four consecutive victories, Inter Milan surpassed Parma in the table and rose to fifth place. They also brought great pressure to their opponents. In a strong dialogue, the old woman Juventus was finally defeated by the emerging power Atlanta 2-1, and the loss was also a small loss. Ancelotti's stability became conservative. In another strong dialogue, Roma beat Parma 2-1, Juventus only stayed at the top of the table for a round and was pulled down again. The gap between them and Inter Milan is only 8 points.
After Lazio changed his coach, he was as brave as Inter Milan. Zoff's team reversed Lecce 3:2, and the points were close to Juventus, ranking third in the ground, once again becoming a strong contender for the championship.
And Inter Milan's sworn enemy AC Milan defeated Reggina 1-0 in this round, catching up with Inter Milan and did not fall behind in the championship battle.
Among the original seven heroes of Serie A, Parma and Fiorentina fell out, and Atlanta rushed up unexpectedly, but Atlanta has a limited background. At most, it is difficult to break through the encirclement of these veteran strong teams to win the championship.
In the 18th round of the league, Rome, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Lazio won one after another, while the state of the dark horse Atlanta declined and was tied by Lecce away, but it was still in the top six.
When the league is close to the middle of the league, it is Juventus, Roma, Lazio, Inter Milan and AC Milan that are expected to win the championship. Although Rome and Juventus are the most stable and have the greatest hope, the defending champion Lazio and Inter Milan after the change of coach should not be underestimated. After five consecutive victories, Inter Milan has been successful. Returning to the ranks of the championship, Zoff's three consecutive victories of Lazio also showed their strong strength. At this time, Serie A seems to have fallen into the Warring States era of hegemony again, but at this time, the UEFA Champions League and the League Cup also kicked off, and the decisive stage of the 2000 to 2001 season is coming soon. It is.
When fighting on the single-line, it is impossible to open the gap, but the two-line or even the third-line battle is a huge test even for the big team. The two battlefields affect each other. Although the league is the foundation, no team wants to give up the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup. At this time, the power of the bench and the strategic eyes of the head coach It alone has become the key to the success or failure of the team.
Ancelotti, Capello, Jiang Mu, Zoff, Zacheroni, the five famous coaches, who can laugh at the two games, which has become the focus of fans all over the world.
