Chapter 522: The Plan Has Changed

After the World Cup and Telephone Gate incidents settled, the league in the new season quietly approached again.

The annual summer transfer market in European football has gradually become hot.

With Juventus' relegation, dividing up the Zebra Legion has become a hot topic in the summer transfer market.

Barcelona decisively took the lead and took two tiger players, Toram and Zambrota, from Juventus.

After the new chairman Calderon came to power, Real Madrid decisively introduced Capello and poached Emerson and Vieira from Juventus, determined to form a luxurious midfielder that was the best in Europe.

Especially Vieira, this superstar is Florentino, the former chairman of Real Madrid, who has been pursuing for many years but has not been able to do so. Now Calderon is able to grab it, which is undoubtedly a big face.

In addition to these four superstars, players such as Trezege, Mancini Jr., Mutu, etc. have also been determined to leave Juventus, but Piero, Nedved and Buffon are determined to stay and help the team return to Serie A as soon as possible.

I believe that after this wave of injuries, even if Juventus can return to Serie A in the new season, it will be impossible for him to return to the peak in a short period of time.

AC Milan's performance last season was not ideal. This season, she was determined to reorganize and sent away players such as Stam, Rui Costa, Abiati, Amoruso, etc., but the most eye-catching one is Shevchenko.

The Ukrainian scorer's performance last season was not ideal. Judging from Gao Han's sharp eyes, Shevchenko was no longer as brave as he was after being seriously injured. However, in order to get the superstar, Chelsea still paid AC Milan a high price of up to 46 million euros.

But after selling Shevchenko, the Ross and Blacks did not seem to be planning to increase their investment. They only introduced the midfield genius Gurkuf, who is the title of Zidane II from Ligue 1, and introduced defender Bonetra from Parma. The two players spent three million euros each, which was a fraction of the transfer fee of Shevchenko.

Anyone can tell that AC Milan's diet has just begun.

As another team that can threaten Inter Milan in the new season, the Red Wolves Legion Roma is also not idle.

The three strong players of Cassetti, Pizarro and Vulcinic joined the team, which strengthened Roma's three front, middle and back lines to a certain extent.

While competitors such as AC Milan and Roma are increasing their recruitment efforts, as the number one favorite to win the Serie A championship in the new season, Inter Milan has not made any noise, which makes many media and fans feel strange.

Because according to media reports, Gao Han returned to Milan early and started working in the new season.

But at this moment, news came from Turin Sports News again that Juventus, who had been reduced to the Serie B, wanted to strengthen the signings in the midfield after selling Emerson and Vieira.

The Zebra Legion's number one goal is the frustrated Zanetti in Inter Milan.

…………

In the coaching conference room at the Pinetina training base, the projector plays a video of a player's game on the screen.

The kicker is not very old and wears a Juventus zebra striped shirt and plays in many different positions on the court. Among many peers, he performs very well and looks like a talent that is fascinating.

The video ended with a Youth Cup match, with the opponent being the Inter Milan youth team wearing a blue and black jersey, while Juventus' youth team defeated Inter Milan youth team five-to-one. The player scored a hat trick to help the team win the championship.

At this point, the video ended and the lights lit up again.

"This player is Claudio Marchisio, twenty years old, Turin, captain of Juventus youth team."

"I entered the Juventus youth training camp at the age of eight. I have always played for the forward and the scorer of the youth team. Later, Juventus youth training coach thought he had a good vision on the court, a good dribbling, and his characteristics were more suitable for playing in the midfield."

"Juventus' youth team has always played in the traditional three-52 formation. Marchisio played all five positions in the midfield, so he is very comprehensive. He is a typical Italian midfielder, able to run, grab and break, with a wide coverage area, excellent ability to shoot one shot, and high tactical execution."

"Last season, as the captain of the Juventus youth team, he led the team to win the Youth League championship, but he has never been able to get a chance in the first team. This summer it is said that he was promoted to the first team to participate in the team's summer training camp."

After Cantalero introduced it, everyone also had a preliminary impression of Marchisio.

Inter Milan's scouting department is not unfamiliar with him, because he scored a hat trick in the five-to-one victory over Inter Milan youth team last season, leaving a deep impression on the Nerazzurri scouts.

But the reason why Gao Han mentioned him in front of Morati, Blanca and Osilio in the coaching conference room was because Blanca received a call from Juventus' new manager Seco two days ago.

The latter suggested on the phone that Inter Milan could sell Zanetti to Juventus.

Zanetti, 29 years old this year, once performed well in the Nerazzurri. After Gao Han coached the team, he also got a lot of opportunities. However, as Cambiaso's performance became more and more stable, it was difficult for Zanetti to grab the main position from Argentina's midfielder.

Under this circumstance, Zanetti was also moved by the olive branch extended by Juventus.

Gao Han has never liked to force himself to stay. He doesn't object to the players leaving. What's more, Zanetti has never been an indispensable member of his plan, but it is not easy for Juventus to get him.

During the negotiations, Gao Han wanted to get Chiellini and hoped that Juventus could send the defender to Inter Milan, but Seco refused and wanted to exchange other players, but Gao Han was not interested.

Later, when the negotiations were in stalemate, Seco mentioned Marchisio.

Gao Han is not familiar with Juventus' youth team, but after glanced at Marchisio with his golden eyes, he couldn't help but be surprised because the player's potential is as high as 180, and among the new generation of Italian players, he is not inferior to De Rossi and others.

What's even more rare is that his feet are quite good, after all, he is a striker.

Under such circumstances, Gao Han was a little moved.

"What do you think?" Gao Han looked at Moratti and Blanca.

The two bigwigs of the club looked at each other and laughed at each other.

"We all trust your vision. Since you think Marchisio is good, then do what you want." Morati said on the spot. He has always supported Gao Han unconditionally and obeyed his words.

Blanca nodded, "I have no objection, but will it be too cheap?"

Everyone laughed immediately after hearing this.

Zanetti is a player who has been famous for many years. He is 29 years old and is in his year of playing. Although he is not the main player in Inter Milan, he has performed well in many games and can even sell it for a little money.

If Juventus is exchanged for Chiellini, that would be appropriate, but Marcisio...

"You have no objection to the negotiation matter." Gao Han smiled and expressed his opinion.

After Blanca nodded, the matter was decided.

As for whether Juventus can make money, it depends on Blanca's negotiation skills.

After the negotiations on Zanetti's transfer, Gao Han began to enter the next issue.

“I want to adjust the team plan we planned last season.”

As early as February and March, Gao Han and Morati, Facheti and Blanca formulated the team's new season strategy, including the decision to introduce a right back.

But now the situation has changed, Gao Han feels that the plan must be adjusted according to the situation.

"As everyone knows, the competition in the new season of Serie A will be easier, Juventus will be relegated, and AC Milan's strength has also been weakened a lot, so I am very confident in the new season of Serie A, and our game will be focused on the Champions League."

Everyone was not surprised by Gao Han’s plan.

In Serie A, Inter Milan's strength is definitely outstanding. If the Nerazzurri just show off his power in Serie A, it would be too unambitious and not Gao Han's style at all.

Whether it is inside the team, outside fans, even at the Football Association and even the government, they all hope that Inter Milan can make some achievements in the European arena.

But Gao Han thought obviously more than them and more long-term.

"From the current lineup of our team, the configuration of attacking the frontcourt is the best. I consider recalling Pandev from Lazio this season, so there will be no problem in dealing with multi-line combat in the frontcourt."

"In terms of midfield, we are also very strong, but I hope everyone will pay attention to that Figo and Peron are not young anymore, so I decided to recall Hamsik from Brescia. If we can exchange Marcisio from Juventus, with Yaya Toure, our midfield configuration will be more reasonable."

"As for the defense line, there is no big problem, I still always ask for it. I have a right back and I have already had a preliminary goal. I believe that this vacancy can be filled soon."

Judging from Gao Han's words, overall, Inter Milan will not be very active this summer.

"But for the new season, my plan is to increase the training of young players, give them more opportunities to exercise, and help them grow up, especially in the midfield, and Bonucci on the back line should also get more opportunities to play."

After hearing Gao Han’s thoughts, Morati and others were a little surprised, but they soon understood.

Inter Milan is currently facing metabolism problems.

Players such as Figo, Veron, Solari, Cannavaro, Sanetti, Cordoba, Matrazi, Favali, Recoba and Cruise are basically over, or they are about to be thirty years old.

According to general rules, players' condition often declines after they are over thirty years old.

Therefore, Gao Han’s idea is to take advantage of the fact that the league competition is not under such great pressure, introduce a few young players in advance, cultivate them, grow up as soon as possible, and gradually take on the team’s responsibilities in the next two or three years.

By that time, even if veterans such as Figo and Peron have retreated to the second line, Inter Milan's overall strength will not have much impact, but in the long run, this move will be crucial to Inter Milan.

Just like AC Milan next door, it is so aging, but it still can only rely on a group of veterans to conquer the world in the new season.

Gao Han's move is obviously considering Inter Milan's long-term development.

This also made Morati, Blanca and others even more grateful for their decision to invite Gao Han to coach a year ago.

When it comes to ordinary head coaches, they basically use money to do things. As long as they can complete the performance tasks assigned by the club during their term of office, they will not pay attention to the team's long-term plan. After all, who knows how long they can stay in this team?

But Gao Han is now taking the initiative to take risks and promote young players, laying a solid foundation for the club's exhibition in the next few years.
