Reborn on Top of Football

v5 Chapter 12: The first time with Meazza (2)

In the few days between meeting Mancini and attending the press conference, Wang Ai watched Inter Milan’s recent game videos at home every morning, and went to the training ground in the afternoon to meet with his teammates who came back one after another, although Wang Ai was not yet Know Italian, but the biggest advantage of the "international team" is that the stars come from all over the world. The presence of a large number of Brazilian and Argentine players has made Wang Ai, who has spent two years in Spain, almost no obstacles to communication.

Besides, there is not much difference between Italian and Spanish. The meanings of individual words are somewhat different. Just communicate a few times. What's more, football stars use football language the most when they are together. They speak one kind of mouth and another in action.

Most teammates are more enthusiastic, including Ibrahimovic. The gap between Wang Ai’s two discoveries, impressions, and publicity is not small. Ibrahimovic is arrogant in his heart, and his appearance is OK, neither because he is the number one star in the team now, nor because Wang Ai is the first. Shaking face with high salary. Of course, there is no in-depth communication, he should be a little awkward.

Wang Ai's performance in the two days of training was relatively lax, mainly for the running-in and the cultivation of a sense of understanding with his teammates. To be honest, a few days are too short. Moreover, Inter Milan's training intensity is not high, and the pressure exerted by Mancini is not strong enough, so that it is difficult for Wang Ai to find the feeling of a formal game. Since he couldn't force everyone to do his best, it would be particularly detrimental to Wang Ai. He couldn't cultivate more understanding in training.

While complaining secretly, he increased the analysis of the game video. Although in the eyes of outsiders, Inter Milan will change itself because of his arrival, just like Ronaldo back then. But Wang Ai knows that from his own perspective, the first thing to do is to integrate into the team. After all, the team has won two consecutive championships, this year's championship situation is still very clear, only the Champions League is worse. In the Champions League, Wang Ai had already participated in Chelsea in the first half of the season and could not really help the team.

Inter Milan bought him for the future, and now they have to rely on the people in the team.

Of course, Inter Milan is very clear about the possible "three consecutive championships" in the past and even this season. The 05/06 championship is because the "call gate" deprived Juventus of the championship so that the second Inter Milan directly benefited. Juventus in the 06/07 season Tus was relegated before the game, AC Milan and Lazio all penalized points, so the two consecutive championships are a bit watery, otherwise they will not be insulted by Gattuso this summer. Even this year's championship situation has something to do with these, the two major rivals Juventus and AC Milan are adjusting the staff structure. And Inter Milan also made adjustments, but the intensity is not great, the team has many veterans.

For example, the 34-year-old Cruise grabbed the starter from the 33-year-old Crespo, the 35-year-old captain Zanetti led the 30-year-old second captain Cambiasso, the 36-year-old left midfielder Figo and the 32-year-old The right midfielder Stankovic fought side by side. The 35-year-old defender Materazzi is the only pure Italian in the team, even looking at the young Ibrahimovic at 27.

Compared to 21-year-old Wang Ai, is the whole nursing home? But don't dislike it. The rhythm and style of play in Serie A are more suitable for the elderly to play. The same goes for the Rossoneri next door. The 35-year-old Inzaghi is still the main striker. At this age, if you get into the Premier League and get hit by those rough guys, you will probably retire directly, but in Serie A, you will still be playing very well.

This age structure is Wang Ai's first discovery after coming to Milan silently. The second discovery is the play of Inter Milan and Serie A.

His silence does not mean that the press is also silent, but unlike the unanimous praise and welcome of the Italian media before he came, the trend began to change after he really signed the contract. For example, Gazzetta dello Sport, which once warmly welcomed Wang Ai’s arrival, said in a report on January 7: “Mr. Golden Ball bought with Adriano plus £46 million is undoubtedly Moratti’s. A big bet. If the Chinese who came with twice the value of the'King' and the highest salary, could not adapt to Milan, the financial statements of the Inter Milan Club would be messed up, and the'Great International Era' would be indefinitely. But if he can't make a greater contribution than the'King', he will still not be praised by Neira Zuri. This may be very unfair to a 21-year-old star. But this is Milan."

The "Roma Sport" published on the same day also made a similar voice: "Adriano is unwilling to leave Milan, let alone be loaned out. His performance plummeted last season, but there is no chance of reinvigorating him. Moratti, who claimed that he would never sell him, could not afford Wiwi's high transfer fee, and had to use him as part of the transaction in the voice of the fans. That was once the king of Meazza. It is said that, The new "King" will inherit the No. 10 jersey of the old "King". If he can't show twice the performance of the old "King", he may really not get the support of the Inter fans who still miss Adriano, let alone alleviate it in time. Hungry club finances."

Only the "Torino Sport" still stands firmly on Wang Ai's side: "All those who doubt whether Wiwi can adapt to Serie A have ignored an important fact, that is, he has been in Germany, Spain, England, World Cup, Europe The Champions League has proved himself. As a super scorer who averaged 2 goals per game, there is no reason to doubt his achievements in Italy. If he can show the state of last season, he alone can shred all Serie A Line of defense!"

Wang Ai was the newspaper he bought from the small town of Appiano when he returned from the morning exercise that morning and saw the contents of the newspaper sitting in the bright living room of his home. After reading it, he grinned and pushed the newspaper to Schlappner and said: "Klaus, look, shouldn't the Turin people be my friends? This is to make the whole Serie A defense look at me."

Schlappner, wearing a sweater, sandwiched a slice of ham between the slices of bread, put it on a saucer, grabbed his glasses, and looked down: "Oh, don't you say it, you are also targeted by the guards of all Italy. Since Spain , England’s defenders have not been able to stop you. Of course they want to try. You know, it’s too difficult for a defender to be famous."

Wang Ai pointed to himself exaggeratedly: "Are you saying I am going to punch through their defenses one by one? Will all Serie A defenses target me?"

Schrappner smiled honestly: "It doesn't matter, you can even level the defense of the Premier League. I remember you penetrated the defense of every Premier League opponent, right? Nothing, I believe you."

"Okay!" Wang Ai shook his head: "What do you think about the trouble Adriano may cause me?"
