In the European Super Cup, after breaking Barcelona by 4-0, Inter Milan returned to Italy and went to Barrie to participate in the Tim Cup Triangle match, and successfully defeated Juventus and AC Milan 2-0 and 1-0 in two halfs, winning another championship trophy in the new season.

Although AC Milan lost to Inter Milan, it defeated Juventus, and the Zebras suffered two consecutive losses and ranked last.

The unstoppable performance of this round before the season made the Nerazzurri the most popular team in Serie A and the banner that all Italian fans have high expectations, and head coach Gao Han's coaching has also been highly recognized by fans.

After playing the Tim Cup Triangle Tournament, September entered and the summer transfer officially ended.

Inter Milan also began to disband, and the players returned to China to participate in the national team training camp.

But the Pinetina training base did not become deserted at all, because after sending off the players, the filming team of the Italian state TV station was welcomed. They planned to record a special program of Inter Milan before the start of the new season.

Director of the program team and famous Italian media person Giani Liotta is personally responsible for the exclusive interview with Gao Han.

Since the program and this interview will be scheduled to be broadcast on Italian National Television 1 during the prime time on Friday, it can almost be said to be an important publicity before the start of the new season of the Serie A. Therefore, not only does Inter Milan attach great importance to it, but even the Italian Football Association has specially arranged personnel to come and assist.

Gao Han also attached great importance to it, and it felt a bit like he was on CCTV's broadcast news in China. Even his agent Mendes rushed to the scene and served as a companion.

According to the arrangement of director Giani Liotta, the program first visited the Pinetina training base in Inter Milan at the beginning, played some training scenes of players, then went to the second floor, visited the coach's office and tactical conference room, and finally came to the head coach's office.

Gao Han welcomed their arrival in his office.

In front of the camera, Gao Han skillfully brewed the good tea brought from China and talked face to face with Giani Liotta on the sofa.

"Mr. Gao Han, thank you very much for taking the time to accept our interview in your busy schedule." Giani Liotta said politely.

"This is my honor, Giani." Gao Han replied with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time you've been interviewed by a TV station so formally, right?"

"Well, it's the first time." Gao Han nodded.

"In the past year, there has been a saying in the Italian media circle that Gao Han's interview is the most rare. It is said that you can count the number of interviews you have received on TV stations in the past year with five fingers."

Gao Han smiled and shook his head, "It's mainly because I think a head coach still has to rely on his performance and results on the court, and there are press conferences before and after each game."

"I know, but all the fans, all the reporters, are very interested in knowing more about you, you know, in our eyes, you are so mysterious, you are like a... legend."

Giani Liotta's words made Gao Han laugh, but he shook his head and said, "I'm not a legend, I'm just a head coach."

"But from your debut to now, you are invincible, and the teams you bring out can often achieve shocking results, and everyone is legendary that you have mastered the key to defeating the enemy on the court."

"I hope so too." Gao Han laughed again.

Giani Liotta thought the start of this session was good and soon got to the point.

"Mr. Gao Han, I really want to know what football means to you?"

When Gao Han heard this question, his expression on his face became much more serious. He thought about it, "For me, football has become an indispensable part of my life. It is not just the ninety-minute game on the football field, nor is it just on the training field. It includes more, even every day and night, it will appear in my life."

"My good friend and your peer, Arigo Saki said, you are the most shocking head coach in European football today. You have subverted the outside world's impression of you again and again. What do you think of yourself?"

Gao Han thought about it again, "Thank you very much for Mr. Sakki's evaluation, but I don't think so, because I never thought about shocking or subverting anything. I have said more than once that my idea is simple, always thinking about how to win the next game."

"Yes." Giani Olilita nodded, "But Mr. Gao Han, many head coaches think so, but so far, only you have done it. I want to ask how you think you did it?"

"This...is hard to say."

"Is there a secret?"

Gao Han laughed, "There is no secret, it's just that it's too complicated. You know, the current professional football world has a very clear and detailed division of labor and cooperation, just like in my coaching team, there are the most professional goalkeeper coaches, the best physical coaches, the best analysts, and the best psychological counseling experts."

Speaking of this, Gao Han nodded and said, "Many people only saw us winning, but behind the winning are my assistants, the club's administrators and staff, as well as all the players, and even countless fans on the sidelines, and the results created by everyone working together. This is not my credit."

"But, Mr. Gao Han, you brought these two teams to the most glorious period in history at Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, and now you are doing the same thing in Inter Milan," said Giani Liotta.

"That's because I'm in the right place at the right time, that's all."

"Ok." Giani Liotta also realized that Gao Han did not intend to say much in this regard, and was obviously unwilling to exaggerate his role too much, and even deify himself like the media and fans.

"Many people outside think that you have a very good relationship with players. In the European Super Cup, you still maintained a very good relationship with players such as Ronaldinho, Etoho, Deco and Messi. How did you do it?"

Gao Han smiled, "It's simple, honest. I always communicate with the players very honestly. I will tell them my thoughts and requirements frankly, and they can also put forward their own ideas and requirements, and we can sit down and negotiate."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple!"

"I know your wife, she is a very good journalist, but she told me not long ago that it is very painful to go to the World Cup with you, because although you are sitting in the stands, you can't help but put yourself in the role of the coaching seat, which makes her feel very stressed."

"Haha, occupational disease is really an occupational disease."

"But I can see that she loves you very much."

"Of course, so do I."

"Can you talk about Inter Milan President Moratti? I heard that in order to invite you to Inter Milan, he specially asked Zacheroni to stay for one year. Is it true?"

Gao Han shook his head, "I don't know much about this, but Massimo is indeed the most fanatical Inter Milan fan I have ever seen. It was his sincerity that touched me and made me decide to come to Inter Milan. It was his trust in me that he achieved the results of Inter Milan today."

"Ok, when it comes to results, I have to mention last season. How did you evaluate the team's performance last season?"

Gao Han thought for a while, "I think that's a good start."

"Just that?" Giani Liotta was a little surprised.

"Yes, I don't think we did the best last season, we could do better, and I believe Inter will be stronger this season than last season."

"What about the results?"

"I never think too much, as I just said, I only care about the next game."

"After the Italian Super Cup, some people say that in this season's Serie A, Inter Milan is the favorite to win the championship, with the possibility of being as high as 80%, AC Milan and Rome each account for 10%. What do you think?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Gao Han smiled and shook his head, "but AC Milan and Roma will indeed be our strongest opponents in the new season."

"Then how do you view these two opponents?"

"Acc Milan's strength has not been weakened. Although Shevchenko left, Oliveira was introduced, and the stars such as Kaka, Inzagi, Giladino and Pirlo are still there. I think this team is still quite powerful."

After a pause, Gao Han continued: "As for Roma, this is a team that is particularly impressive. They showed a very strong momentum in the second half of last season, which left a very deep impression on me. This season, there are strong players such as Pizarro and Vulcinic. I believe Roma will perform better than last season."

"This is similar to the outside world's speculation." Giani Liotta nodded repeatedly, "For many years, Inter Milan has always given people the impression that it seems strong but is actually weak. However, last season, the Nerazzurri surprised everyone and finally won the championship. What kind of change do you think the team has changed?"

"Cohesion, I think." Gao Han thought for a while and replied, "All players began to realize their role and responsibilities in the team, which made them more focused, both in games and training, and also made the team more competitive and stronger as a whole."

Giani Liotta obviously agreed with Gao Han's statement and kept nodding.

"Can you talk about Inter Milan fans? Not long ago, in a selection by Milan Sports, you became the most popular person in the minds of Inter Milan fans. Do you have anything to say to the fans?"

Gao Han smiled again. He had seen this selection in the newspaper, which was somewhat entertaining.

"I am very grateful to all Inter Milan fans for their love for me. They are a group of great fans who love great teams and one of the best fans I have ever seen. As the head coach of Inter Milan, I have the same goals as all the fans. We hope that Inter Milan will not only win in the past, but now win, but also continue to win in the future. We are also working in this direction."

Giani Liotta nodded constantly.

“The club went up to Chairman Moratti, Fachetti, down to the most common employees, including our coaching staff and players, we just had an extraordinary season and it made each of us tightly together, but we were not satisfied because we always believed that we could do better and win more.”

"I want to tell our fans that in the new season, our goal is clear and we want to win everything."

When he said this, Gao Han looked extremely confident, but he quickly smiled again, "Of course, there are many teams with the same ambition as us in Serie A and Champions League. Winning is not easy, and it is even more difficult to achieve this goal. But my assistants and our players have already prepared enough to meet this challenge."
