Chapter 1304 Summer Storm III
PS1: This is an update on Monday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
It has to be said that without Kenyon's professional planning, Abramovich, who is just a layman, is still quite different from Florentino in running a football club. Compared with Real Madrid's purchase of Irving, Lazio's two signings are also quite famous, but their influence is much worse. Many fans glance at the news that Davis and Jiuli join the Blue Eagles when browsing the news, and then turn their heads to pay attention to Irving. Who makes Irving's fame and exposure much more than Davis and others?
Therefore, although superstar strategy seems very simple to the eyes of fans, it is enough to constantly acquire some big-name stars. But in fact, it is not easy to play this strategy well - have you seen how much money Kranioti spent in the transfer market at the turn of the century, but he was always under the influence by Real Madrid. That's the reason.
However, soon, the actions of other Serie A teams in the summer transfer market successfully moved the fans' eyes from Real Madrid. After all, no matter what, Real Madrid only introduced Irving this summer. Faced with the joint impact of the Serie A strongman, there will naturally be a phenomenon that two fists cannot beat four hands.
Let’s talk about Juventus first. After experiencing a failed 2003-04 season, the old Fox Mo decided to conduct a large-scale blood exchange on the team this summer. So, Lippi, who entered the palace for the second time, fell under Moji’s butcher knife, while his successor was very different from Zhuang Mingge’s previous life: at the invitation of Moji, Trapatoni, who had just led Italy to the European Cup championship, picked up the Zebras’ coach for the fourth time and became Juventus’ new coach!
Here we add that after leading Italy to successfully defend the Delaune Cup, Trapatoni chose to retire successfully rather than continue to lead Italy to the German World Cup two years later. Although with this team, Italy is still one of the biggest favorites to win the 2006 World Cup, Trapatoni, who knows how to accept it, still submitted his resignation to the Italian Football Association after the European Cup and resigned as head coach of the Italian national team.
After Trapatoni resigned, the Italian Football Association immediately convened representatives of major clubs to start a new round of negotiations on the candidates for national team coaches. Finally, it decided to hire Roma coach Fabio Capello as the new coach of the Italian national team!
At this time, Capello was already very dissatisfied with the reduction of Rome's investment in the transfer market, and believed that he was bound by Old Senci's approach to display his talents. Therefore, when the Italian Football Association issued an invitation to Capello, the gold medal coach immediately nodded and agreed without considering Rome's feelings at all.
So, history changed like this. Trapatoni's resignation made Capello the new head coach of the Italian national team, and Juventus, who fired Lippi, focused on Trapatoni, an old acquaintance. The only unlucky one was Lippi. The Silver Fox, who should have become the head coach of the Blues in history, is now facing the dilemma of being unemployed at home. Now almost all the strong Serie A teams have just welcomed the new coach or are very satisfied with the team's existing head coach. It is naturally not an easy thing for Lippi to find a satisfactory job.
The reason for this situation is mainly because Juventus' performance last season was too down and out. Under the joint suppression of Fiorentina, Milan and Roma, the Zebras, whose team's seriously aging lineup, did not even get a Champions League place at the end of the season. This result has had a serious impact on the Zebras' coach selection action. Many well-known coaches rejected Moji's invitation on the grounds that the team did not have a Champions League match next season, and Capello is one of them - Capello is not interested in coaching a team that can't even play in the Champions League, even if the club's name is Juventus.
You should know that when choosing a team, the current situation of the team, whether they can participate in European competitions and their right to speak for team affairs are often the things that the head coaches are most concerned about. They don’t want to accidentally jump into a fire pit, which will destroy the reputation and signature they have accumulated after working hard for many years.
In other words, Trapatoni, who is quite affectionate and successful in Juventus, dares to take over this hot potato at this time. If it were someone else, it wouldn't be the courage.
After taking office, Trapatoni immediately launched drastic reforms with Juventus. With Moji's financial support, the coach used his relationship in Italian football to bring a lot of strong aid to the Zebras, such as two Rome generals Emerson and Zebina, as well as Lazio's main midfielder Giannikeda, etc., all of which became Juventus' trophy this summer.
AC Milan has also made a lot of moves this summer. They first dug up Dutch international Stam from Fiorentina for a transfer fee of 15 million euros, and then met with two Czech internationals Garasek and Yankulovsky. Obviously, Galliani wanted to enhance the team's competitiveness in the Serie A as soon as possible by introducing instant combat power, so that AC Milan could return to the ranks of top giants.
As for Inter Milan, after finalizing the deal between Terry and Carvalho, Fachetti turned his attention to Ronaldo, who had shined in the just-concluded European Cup in Portugal, and offered him a 18 million euro price!
Although Parma and Roma are often poached in the transfer market due to the limited financial resources of the club, this does not mean that they cannot create some transfer deals that attract fans' attention. For example, Parma just officially announced that Tevez and Mascherano have officially become members of the Milk Legion; and Roma also dug up midfield star Matuzaren from Brescia to make up for the midfield vacuum left by Emerson after leaving the team.
Terry, Carvalho, Davis, Gully, Emerson, Robben, Tevez, Mascherano... The names of these stars are stacked together, and even the halo on Irving is unable to compete with it. Therefore, under the series of combined punches of the Serie A team, the fans' attention is quickly attracted to the Apennines, which is constantly making big news, and no longer pays attention to Irving's joining Real Madrid.
In this way, in the increasingly fierce arms race of Serie A clubs, Florentino's superstar strategy suffered a major blow in the fourth year of implementation!
