As for AC Milan, they are also Inter Milan's main rival in the league. This season they introduced Gilardino to make their striker stronger, and the addition of Jankulovsky made their wing Lu has new blood, and with the addition of Vogel and Karachi who joined on free transfers, their strength has also been supplemented to a certain extent. Although the problem of aging personnel has not been solved, their overall strength is still quite strong.
Roma has made several good deals this season. Except for the introduction of Pizarro from Udinese, which cost them 13 million euros, the other introductions are basically free transfers, but they have Nunda and Kufu. After the failure of last season, Roma has begun their reconstruction with powerful players such as Erl, Taddei and Doni.
These three teams will be Inter Milan's opponents in the league, and in continental Europe, major giants are also recruiting players one after another. Barcelona's transfer last season was perfect to the extreme. Eto'o, Deco, etc. The addition of people allowed them to win the league championship last season. This season they only introduced Van Bommel and Esquero on free transfers in the transfer market to strengthen their strength. After last season's big move, this season Barcelona also needs to save some money. At the same time, the handling of high-paid players such as Riquelme, Rustu, Saviola, and H¨¦rard who can no longer play is the key to them this summer. After four years of hibernation, , Barcelona began a pragmatic revival. Historically, they are the double champions of the league and Champions League this season. They will also be Inter Milan's biggest opponent in the Champions League.
Real Madrid began a large number of blood changes. Figo's departure meant that the Galacticos began to reorganize. At the same time, Solari, Celades and Portillo also left. In terms of signings, they spent 10 million The Euros acquired Irving at a low price, and at the same time introduced Sevilla's twin stars Ramos and Baptista at a high price. At the same time, they are still pursuing Santos' Robinho, which makes their investment this summer close. 100 million euros. After being defeated by the rising Barcelona last season, Florentino began his final madness!
In the Premier League, after Mourinho won Chelsea's coveted league championship last season, he once again spent a lot of money this season. Michael Essien spent 24 million pounds, Wright-Phillips spent 21 million pounds, and Del ? Horno eight million pounds. These three people spent more than 50 million pounds and more than 70 million euros to transfer a large number of redundant personnel such as Thiago, Ke?man, Parker, and Fussell. Murry Neo's Chelsea began to become more capable. They have only one goal this season, which is the league championship and the Champions League championship. Last season they reached the semi-finals but were blocked from the final by Liverpool. This made Chelsea Everyone was very unconvinced.
Arsenal continued their small business operation. After selling Vieira, they introduced Hleb, who played well in Stuttgart, and loaned out the young player Song. Wenger wanted to use his training of young players again. specialty.
After Manchester United's investment last season, they did not make a large number of signings this season. Van der Sar cost two million pounds and Park Ji-sung four million pounds. No one thought that the introduction of Edwin van der Sar would put Manchester United in trouble. The five-year goalkeeping problem has been completely changed - it can only be said that sometimes it is not just about spending more money, the key is to look at the level of the players!
Benitez continued to play his selling and buying method in Liverpool, introducing Crouch, Sissoko, Zenden, Reina and many other powerful players, selling Owen and Baros. The contracts with Diouf, Diarra, Pellegrino, Biscayne, Smicer and other meritorious players were terminated, and the personnel changes were quite large.
These teams, plus Bayern, will be Inter Milan's opponents in the Champions League - after a year's blank period for Inter Milan, Dick is beginning to look forward to this season's Champions League game. Historically, Inter Milan this season In fact, I have been very lucky in the draw in the Champions League. The three opponents in the group stage were not strong. After qualifying as the first place, they met Ajax, who was already in poor condition. After entering the quarterfinals, they met Their opponent was also Villarreal, who was not particularly strong. However, they lost the game due to internal strife in a very good situation. Otherwise, they would have been fully capable of competing with Arsenal in the semi-finals. Just give it a try, maybe we can enter the final against Barcelona
However, now that I have replaced myself as the coach of Inter Milan, I am afraid things will not be so good. UEFA is probably very dissatisfied with me now. He has coached for five seasons and won four European championships, except for Dortmund. In addition to losing the Champions League in the second year, he won European championships in the other four seasons, including two UEFA Cups and two Champions Leagues. If this continues, European competitions will become Dick's. If not for the fact that Mourinho and Benitez won a Champions League in the past two seasons, everyone would have grabbed the championship stage.The championship, the limelight of the entire European competition will be stolen by Dick alone!
So Dick knew very well that this season would not be easy. Domestically, Moggi would probably go crazy in the end. In the European arena, he would also face the pursuit and interception of all the strong teams. In this case, Inter Milan would certainly It's already very powerful, but you still have to be prepared for everything.
"Louis, you can slow down appropriately when you have the ball, but you must be fast when you have the opportunity! Of course, I know you understand when to be fast and when to be slow. Everyone, when Louis is on the court, the rhythm is determined by He has to control it. When he is not on the court, the rhythm is based on our usual training, strengthening running, creating opportunities through passing and pressing. If he can break fast, he can quickly pass the ball to the feet of the two forwards. We can¡¯t attack quickly, so we can organize slowly. In short, whether it¡¯s a counterattack or a positional battle, we need to show our own level!¡±
"Wesley, pay attention, you are the organizer of the midfield Running a lot is a good thing, but you can't run blindly. Be familiar with the way your teammates run, and under what circumstances they will appear. You have to know the place in your mind The moment you look up, you have to observe the most suitable passing route, advance forward, and return to defense. You may not need to make a big contribution to the defense, but you need to organize in the back. Then seize the opportunity and step in resolutely. This task is very heavy, but I believe you will complete it.¡±
"Wright, when you retreat to get the ball, you have to do it when Wesley is organizing from behind, you know? When Wesley has already come forward, you have to create a threat in the penalty area and attract their defensive strength. If there is a chance Do it yourself, even if you don¡¯t have a chance, you have to open up the defense at the front of their penalty area! At the same time, you can also pull out A top striker can not only score goals by himself, but also pass the ball to his teammates, do you understand?¡±
"Luka, remember your position is the center! Pulling out of the penalty area to play the ball is just a job. You have to be at the front to create more opportunities for your teammates. At the same time, when a pass comes, you have to Create an opportunity for the defender as soon as possible!¡±
"Little Javier, interception is not only a disruption to the opponent's offense, it is also the first factor in launching an offense Try to destroy the ball to where your teammates are, and Wesley will pick you up Cristiano , your task is the same, the defensive midfielder can also be the initiator of the offense."
"Javier, pay attention to your position and be bold when assisting. We have enough offensive space in the backcourt. Going forward can also distract the opponent's defensive attention. You can cooperate more with Simeone. Your ability to go forward is They are all very powerful and would be wasted if not used.¡±
"Marco, your long pass can also be a weapon to launch an attack. Don't blindly pass the long pass, but be targeted. We have the ability to control high-altitude balls in the frontcourt. This is when you use your characteristics, and you must also pay attention to the situation around you. , if there is danger around you, you would rather kick the ball out than give the opponent a chance to steal the ball in the backcourt, do you understand?¡±
"The high-position press prevents the opponent's midfield organization from proceeding smoothly. In this case, Javier and Ivan must pay attention to returning to defense to avoid being penetrated by the opponent's speed Julio, expand the range of activities, This is what you are good at."
Words like this are often heard on the training ground, and changes are gradually happening. To the players' surprise, in the team's competition, last season's substitute goalkeeper Cesar began to appear more in the main team. On the one hand, it seems that Toldo is about to become a substitute
Regarding this point, the two goalkeepers naturally have their own thoughts. Cesar is very happy. After all, being able to play the main role is what everyone hopes for. He is not a young goalkeeper anymore, while Toldo is a little confused¡ª¡ª His performance last season was not bad, but this season Inter Milan is obviously more proactive. From this point of view, Cesar, whose advantage lies in reaction and attack, may really become the main goalkeeper
However, he can also see that based on this trend, it is only a matter of time before Cesar takes his place. He is now thirty-four years old, and the downward trend in response has been gradually reflected since last season. , but last season, Inter Milan used a large number of defensive players to protect the front edge of the penalty area in defense, so that Toldo's characteristics can be fully utilized, and in this way, he concedes not too many goals, and Compared with five years ago, Toldo's reaction has indeed begun to decline. After all, he is thirty-four years old. Even though this age is not too old for a goalkeeper, Toldo has a great height advantage. The goalkeeper is even more obvious.
No one wants to be a substitute, but for a goalkeeper who has declined, even being a substitute is not unacceptable. What's more, Toldo has already planned to retire from Inter Milan. He will be a substitute for a few years, win a few championships and then Retirement, thisIt is also a pretty good choice, and everyone can see the prosperous situation of Inter Milan after Dick took over. Toldo has actually been mentally prepared for this.
Dick chose to remain silent about this. He did not go to talk to anyone between the two people. Instead, he just kept letting the two goalkeepers guard the gate behind the main defense line, including two games during the training camp. In the warm-up match, they also played two halves each. Such a match would naturally not have any reference significance. Inter Milan beat their opponents by a wide margin in both games. Everyone had a chance to play, and the goalkeeper did not get much. A test, this kind of game is just for the players to get a feel for the game.
In the pre-season training, any player begins to feel that Inter Milan is stronger this season than last season. Similarly, the competition will be more intense than last season!
