Chapter 331 Conversation with Sanetti and Ronaldo

"The transfer fee of $60 million, the World Cup tied for the best scorer gathers in Inter Milan."

"The English national team midfielder core Tiger Lee, who just achieved remarkable results in the World Cup, transferred from Valencia to Serie A Inter Milan with a net worth of $60 million. This is the third time Inter Milan has set a single transfer record for the club after Ronaldo and Vieri. Inter Milan's chairman Massimo Moratti excitedly said in an interview that Ronaldo, Vieri and Tiger's trident is enough to capture the goal of any team, and he is full of confidence in the team's prospects for the new season."

"Tiger flew to Milan on August 1 to complete his physical examination. The team doctor at the Inter Milan Club said that Tiger's health is incredibly healthy... After signing the contract, Tiger became the highest-paid football player in the world."

"Inter Milan coach Cooper said that after introducing Tiger, he was quite satisfied with the club's lineup. Working with this old player in Valencia again is the happiest thing that made him happy this summer. When the reporter asked about the conflict between him and Ronaldo, the Argentine coach said that there was no problem between him and Ronaldo."

The last news report made Inter Milan fans happy that Tiger joined, and began to worry about the previous news of Ronaldo and Cooper's disagreement - if Tiger comes and Ronaldo leaves, Inter Milan fans really don't know whether they should be sad or happy...

However, when Inter Milan announced the signing of Tiger, it also brought about a series of other changes, and the first thing that was Ronal's attitude was the attitude of many people.

What is different from history is that Ronaldo has not been able to win the World Cup championship as he wishes, and only won the best scorer in the World Cup. Tiger's arrival has made Inter Milan the most popular team to win various honors in the new season. If you want to leave at this time, it would be obviously a very unwise move - the World Cup competition made him know Tiger's ability, and being able to partner with such a player is undoubtedly an extremely pleasant thing.

At this time, he received an invitation from Real Madrid.

After discussing with his agent, Ronaldo made the decision to stay in Inter Milan, which disappointed Real Madrid - it was obvious that the temptation of continuing to partner with Tigervieri exceeded the temptation of Zidane and Figo passing the ball behind him...

Real Madrid, who failed to acquire Ronaldo, turned their attention to Lazio. In the end, they bought Lazio's Argentine scorer Crespo for $36 million. Lazio, who was in an economic crisis, had to choose to let him go. In order to fight Inter Milan's big moves in the transfer market, AC Milan free transfer introduced Rivaldo, who had just terminated his contract with Barcelona, ​​while Juventus strengthened his strength in the defense and introduced the Italian national team's main defender Cannavaro from Parma...

Even if Moratiken invested, the transfer fee and four-year salary plus taxes spent on Tiger exceeded 60 million US dollars in total, which made Morati a little unbearable. So Inter Milan did not make any moves in the transfer market. He just exchanged Dutch midfielder Seidorf and his city rival AC Milan for the Italian national team's left-back Koko, and at the same time introduced Paraguayan central defender Gamara and Italian central defender Adani inexpensively to increase the substitute strength on the defense line. At the same time, he bought Argentine midfielder Almeida from Lazio and Italian forward Koradi from Chivo as a substitute...

There are naturally many opportunities when there is entry. Tiger's former teammate Farinos was loaned to Mallorca. His performance in Inter Milan in the past two seasons was very average. Greek full-back Yeogatos returned to Greece due to homesickness. Grasco, who made a fatal mistake last season, was abandoned by the team. Simici, who could not play the main player, transferred to AC Milan. In addition, Sidorf left, but Inter Milan's first team was also overcrowded.

Cooper is also a head coach who likes to promote new players. Pasquale and Martins in the second team were promoted to the first team. Inter Milan's first team reached an astonishing thirty players, and the competition in the midfield and forward line will become more intense.

Tiger attended an Inter Milan press conference on August 2. Under the flash of countless reporters, he held the No. 10 jersey in his hand and smiled.

Originally, Tiger wanted to continue wearing the No. 24 jersey he wore in Valencia - at that time he chose this number in hopes that he could become a combination of the greatest No. 10 Maradona and the greatest No. 14 Cruyff - now he has basically done this, and Inter Milan's No. 24 last season was Grasco, which is undoubtedly a rather unlucky number. The No. 10 jersey was vacant again, and Tiger did not insist.

After the press conference, Tiger began to feel the great enthusiasm of Inter Milan fans. When attending the meeting ceremony with the fans at the Meazza Stadium, Tiger was shocked to find that at least 20,000 Inter Milan fans appeared in the stands to welcome him!

When he transferred to Manchester United, he was welcomed by only a few hundred fans. When he transferred to Valencia, he was only a few thousand fans welcomed him. Now, he is a huge group of more than 20,000 people!

Tiger couldn't help but feel a little emotional - the different treatments he encountered in attending fans' meetings these days are proof of his growth step by step.

Compared with the time when Ronaldo arrived in Inter Milan, countless children were proud of touching his bald head, this time Tiger was welcomed even more. All the fans present were shouting Tiger's name, which made Tiger begin to feel the other party's enthusiasm deeply.

After showing off his skills on the lawn, Tiger kicked ten footballs into the stands one by one. This action allowed the local Milan TV station, who was filming his movements, to analyze them back and forth in the later playback. Based on slow motion and various camera observations, it finally concluded that the distance between the landing points of the ten balls was exactly the same, covering the entire stands accurately. Finally, it was concluded that Tiger's long pass accuracy had reached an abnormal level...

Later, when I saw this show, Tiger also sweated for a while. He really didn't expect this. In fact, there were coincidences. But if a person is famous, all actions will be amplified...

However, Tiger's performance is indeed enough to be loved. At the press conference, he greeted the reporters present in Italian during this period, and at the same time humbly stated that his performance in the World Cup cannot be separated from the support of his teammates and the correct use of the coach: "I cannot get any honors by myself. When I come to Inter Milan, I want to prove myself, and the best way to prove myself is to get some honors with enough weight with the club. Compared with the World Cup champion and the best scorer and best player final hat trick, I would rather have the World Cup champion."

"Tiger has never been a player who puts his performance above the overall interests of the team. I know very well about this. Inter Milan's frontcourt lineup is too large? No, I don't think so, because we are already prepared. How to use Tiger? Of course, he will be the main force, but if he is in a bad state, he will also play as a substitute. My subordinates have no distinction between main force and substitute. Tiger is also very clear about this." Cooper said this.

******************************************************

In the next few days, Tiger was looking for a place to live near Milan. For this, Inter Milan's chairman Moratti was naturally responsible and finally came forward to help Tiger find a good house next to Lake Como. The transportation was well developed and it was very close to Inter Milan's Pinalti training base. It took only ten minutes to drive there. Tiger was also very satisfied with this. After packing up the room, he immediately moved into his new home from the hotel in Milan.

This house that had been renovated long ago cost Tiger two million US dollars, but Tiger no longer cares about this little money now. Ross has made a lot of money for him in recent years. Moreover, in the United States, Google shares' rise has also made Tiger a little stunned. He now knows what Lin Danda said before, "The reward has been given to you" means...

"It seems that after playing in Inter Milan for a few years, I can fulfill my dream..." Tiger couldn't help thinking like this.

After the hat trick in the World Cup final, Tiger's income began to soar - of course not just an annual salary - his various endorsement expenses were just a few million dollars in profits. After the World Cup, Ross, who showed his magical power, signed several new endorsement contracts for him in one breath. In the next few years, his endorsement expenses will soar to more than 20 million dollars a year - who made him so popular now that no one can match his limelight...

Although Inter Milan players trained very early because they were going to participate in the Champions League qualifiers and started training at the end of July, two players, Tiger and Ronaldo, who played seven games in the World Cup, were allowed to postpone the training with the team for a week, which means they would take a rest for a while. At the same time, neither of them would participate in the away game of Sporting Lisbon Portugal on August 15.

August 8th was the day when Tiger participated in the team training for the first time. Tiger got up early on that day and drove to the Pinalti training base - he had already been here before, so he was naturally familiar with it.

When he walked into the locker room, it was only eight in the morning and nine in the morning when the training began. Tiger came one hour early - this was basically his habit.

Looking at the empty locker room, Tiger naturally walked to his closet - Cooper had already taken him to the locker room before, and he knew where his locker room was.

After changing the jerseys for training quickly, Tiger was about to go to the training ground to do a warm-up for himself. Now he has to work hard. There is no training space for the main god space that can keep him in shape at any time. If you want to play for a few more years, you can only train well every day and maintain your physical condition, so that you can extend your competitive life.

Just as Tiger was about to walk out of the locker room, he heard footsteps coming from outside the locker room. Then a layer of sweat broke out on his body. The man in a white sweatshirt and sports shorts trotted into the locker room, and then met Tiger...

"Hey, Tiger, hello."

Just as Tiger was about to say something, the person who came was already greeting him enthusiastically. He kept jogging directly to the closet before stopping, and took out a towel from his backpack to wipe his sweat while changing into training clothes as quickly as possible.

"Hello Javier." Tiger also greeted the person, but thought to himself that I had heard that Inter Milan's captain Zanetti has always been very diligent and self-disciplined. It seems that it is not an exaggeration. I am used to participating in an hour of training earlier. However, although Zanetti entered the locker room a little late, it seemed that she had been running for a while...

"It's so early." Seeing Sanetti changing clothes, Tiger was embarrassed to leave the locker room first, so he started talking with Sanetti.

"I'm used to it." Sanetti laughed haha: "Tiger, I'm different from you... I'm not a genius, I'm just diligent."

A very ordinary sentence made Tiger quiet. Just when Sanetti was wondering why he didn't say anything, Tiger suddenly said quietly: "Actually, I'm not a genius..."

Sanetti laughed silently, thinking that the new guy was really modest - but he didn't know that what Tiger said was really the truth...

***************************************************

In the next few days, Tiger did not practice with his teammates. Because he came late, he conducted more physical reserve training to prepare for the new season. Cooper did not expect to use him in the 15th game. Although Sporting Lisbon is not a very easy opponent to deal with, without Tiger, Cooper was confident that he could get a better result away.

So during this period, Tiger was more physical training with Ronaldo. Compared with Tiger who had no concerns in training, Ronaldo seemed much more cautious. It is obvious that after more than two years of injury, Ronaldo could no longer withstand another serious injury - he was only one year younger than Tiger, but he seemed much older than Tiger.

This is also one of the biggest differences between Ronaldo and Cooper. Cooper has always been a head coach who pays great attention to training quality. When he was in Valencia, even players like Tiger and Mendeta would be scolded by Cooper if they were lazy in training. Of course, Tiger and Mendeta had basically never given Cooper a chance. After coming to Inter Milan, he has always pursued an iron-fisted military governance. This is also the way he has been using to manage the team in Mallorca and Valencia. It is impossible to change. Ronaldo is unwilling to hurt himself again in too harsh training. He needs to be responsible for his future career.

During the training these days, Tiger and Ronaldo gradually became familiar with each other. Although they had never met much before, they had fought in the World Cup. When Ronaldo became famous, Tiger was still struggling in the League Two team. He naturally had a longing for the rabbit-toothed man who rose like a comet in Europe and achieved great reputation. Ronaldo was also constantly hearing the outstanding achievements Tiger has achieved while recuperating, and even confronted Tiger face to face in the World Cup. He knew how outstanding this guy was - some of his movements and skills Ronaldo could easily do it before he was injured. However, Ronaldo now has no longer supported the more gorgeous skills, and he can only play in a more stable way, which also made Ronaldo a little envious of Tiger - why can his body be maintained so well...

It is precisely because of this reason that although the two did not communicate much in their physical fitness reserves, they gradually became friendly.

On August 15, Cooper led a team of 18 people to participate in the away game in the first leg of the third round of the Champions League qualifiers away. Except for some of the marginal players who stayed at the training base, only Tiger and Ronaldo stayed, which also gave Tiger and Ronaldo more opportunities to communicate.

During the training interval, Tiger and Ronaldo began to chat. Tiger was originally a very approachable person. He knew Spanish, Spanish and Portuguese, so there was no difficulty in communicating between the two.

The chat between the two started from the World Cup - although England defeated Brazil, the game was a classic game. Tiger shone in that game, and Ronaldo was not dissatisfied with anything. Although he sometimes thought that if he was not injured, the situation might be different. Tiger in that game was the same as he was four years ago, and no one could stop him!

As he chatted, Ronaldo couldn't help but complain a few times, just saying that Cooper had not been sympathetic to him and had recovered from his injury. He always added a lot of them to training. Of course, his words also meant to tell Cooper through Tiger - everyone knows that Tiger is Cooper's old player, and introducing Tiger is also the consequence of Cooper's strong advocacy. Now the relationship between Ronaldo and Cooper is already very bad. Since Ronaldo wants to stay, it is also a good way to ease the relationship through other people and Cooper.

Tiger is not a fool, but he also knows that Tiger, Ronaldo and Vieri's tridents are beautiful, but if Ronaldo and Cooper have always had a bad relationship, this combination is probably a matter of paper, and he is happy to do this favor in the middle.
