Chapter 686 Inter Milan's Dead Knot

"Wow Kaka, Fifth Brother, did you see that expression of Abramovich just now?"

Leaving Stamford Bridge, Yang Huan sat in the back row of his iconic Aston Martin Lagonda Expedition Extended Edition, couldn't help laughing and asked Long Wu who was driving in the front row.

"I can guarantee that even if his wife took away so much money from him back then, he would never be as useless as he is today!"

"Wow, Kaka, it's so satisfying, it's so satisfying!"

Through the rear view mirror, Long Wu took a look at Young Master Huan, who was laughing out of shape, and he also found it funny.

My young master is getting more and more thieves, even I was almost cheated by him just now.

Moreover, he was sure that with Abramovich's character, he must confront him tit for tat, so he deliberately revealed that he wanted Juan Mata first, and again and again, which convinced Abramovich.

But actually?
From the beginning to the end, his goal was De Bruyne, which was recommended to Yang Huan by Marcus du Satoy before.

In addition to being reused by Mourinho in the pre-season warm-up match and the beginning of the season, the Belgian player was directly put into the sidelines after starting three league games, and he has not played for a minute so far.

Therefore, it is much easier for such a player to poach corners than Juan Mata.

When Long Wu was secretly laughing while driving, Yang Huan took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Hey, Marco, it's me!"

Yang Huan's call was to Marco Branca, Inter Milan's technical director in charge of transfer operations.

"Master Huan, I just want to call you too!" Branca on the phone said anxiously.

"Oh, what's up?"

"There are a few things!" Branca took a deep breath, "The first is that the news that we plan to sell several players was published by the media. Now many fans have protested, and even made a fuss in the club office, blocking Durini Avenue, and even the police were alarmed!"

Branca on the other side of the phone spoke worriedly, but Yang Huan on the other side of the phone listened calmly and calmly.

"Oh, any more?"

Blanca was a little surprised by Master Huan's reaction, but she quickly took a deep breath to calm down.

"Also, we have received player offers from many teams, but...Master Huan, do you really want to sell?"

Only then did the news spread, and the reaction of the fans was so great. If it was really sold, wouldn't the fans be in trouble?

Yang Huan answered Blanca with a meaningful sigh, followed by a silence of more than ten seconds.

This made Branca on the phone look very overwhelmed, completely unable to understand what she said wrong.

After a long time, Yang Huan spoke again.

"Marco, tell me, what is Inter Milan's biggest problem?"

Hearing Master Huan's sudden question, Blanca was a little unexpected, and was stunned for a while, forgetting to answer.

"Think about it, I'll be in Milan soon!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Huan hung up the phone and turned to Long Wu who was driving in the front row, "Old Wu, go to Heathrow Airport!"

The good mood that was originally because of taking advantage of Abramovich has become heavy again.

…………

…………

Three hours later, in the luxury suite of the Four Seasons Hotel in Milan.

Yang Huan stood in front of the window, overlooking the night view of Milan city in the distance.

The floors of the Four Seasons Hotel are not high, but the buildings in Milan City are generally short, so although the view is not far away, the scenery is good.

It can be said that it has a different taste.

There was a knock on the door outside, Long Wu paused the mobile game and ran to open the door.

But I saw the three powerful executives of Inter Milan standing outside the door.

Club general manager Marco Fassone, technical director Marco Branca and sporting director Piero Osirio.

Interestingly, Osirio is also a big bald head!

It seems that the lineup of the skinhead alliance will continue to expand further!

"Master Huan!"

As soon as the three entered the door, they all yelled.

Yang Huan turned around, nodded, and pointed to the sofa in the living room, "Sit down!"

The three obediently walked to the front of the sofa, found their seats and sat down.

Yang Huan walked to the bar, poured four glasses of wine, and handed them one by one.

"How is it, Blanca, can you answer my question?" Yang Huan also sat down with a smile, looked at Erlang's legs, sipped the scarlet wine, and looked at the three people across from him leisurely.

Marco Branca hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I think the biggest problem with the team right now is the lack of core players."

Yang Huan nodded, "Well, let's hear it!"

"Actually, after the Triple Crown, for a period of time, our top management had disagreements on the direction of the club's management, so when dealing with some things, there were obviously deviations, but we corrected them later."

Regarding these, Yang Huan has inquired about them, as he guessed before, it is indeed Moratti who wants to shoot the team.

"Over the past year or so, we have been committed to rationalizing the team's lineup, and we have achieved a lot. The current average age of the team and the three generations of players are relatively reasonable. That's why Mazzarri is willing to leave Naples to coach Inter Milan."

As we all know, the most reasonable performance allocation in professional football is the orderly combination of the old, middle and young generations.

And Inter Milan's current lineup is indeed good. There are not only veterans such as Zanetti, Cambiasso, and Samuel, but also post-[-]s young players such as Icardi, Juan Jr., and Ted. Among them are Palacio, Handanovic, Ranocchia, and Guarin.

But reasonable does not mean strong!

"However, our problems are also obvious. The veterans are too old, and they have won a lot of honors. They have lost their passion and motivation. And many of the players who made the shots before, except for the goalkeeper position, have obviously fallen by one or two grades, so the team's entire lineup is reasonable, but they lack competitiveness!"

"Well said, continue!" Yang Huan nodded, this Branca is still very discerning and knowledgeable.

"As the old players fade out one after another, especially at the end of this season, it has become inevitable to further eliminate the veterans in the team, but the team has to face another problem, that is who will lead Inter Milan!"

Looking at the current lineup of Inter Milan, there is really no one who can stand alone and lead the team.

Not even one!

This is indeed quite a scary thing!
But the question is, no signings, no sale, okay?
The answer is, no!

Zanetti, Cambiasso, Samuel, Diego Milito and other players can no longer meet Inter Milan's goal of competing for the top three in Serie A, so cleaning these players has become inevitable.

But if it is cleaned up, but no players who can lead the team are brought in, the result is self-evident.

Yang Huan kept nodding his head, "You're right, Blanca, but it's not enough!"

"Not enough?" Blanca was a little surprised.

Fassone and Osirio were also very surprised. At least they both felt that what Branca said was very good and very targeted.

"Did you know? Before I bought Inter Milan, I asked Southampton's analysis team to do a survey for me."

Upon hearing this, the three present immediately restrained their minds and listened very seriously.

This Southampton analysis team is famous, who doesn't know?
"In the past 20 years, Inter Milan has been called a star black hole. Why?"

None of the three people present thought that Master Huan would talk so deeply, and they all talked about the past 20 years.

"In terms of stars, we have had the world's top striker combination like Vieri and Ronaldo, as well as Recoba, and a lot of outstanding superstars, but why do we always fail to get results?"

"After the appearance of Call Gate, we won consecutive championships, but in those years, we all had a fixed style of play and thinking, that is Ibrahimovic, and after Mourinho came, he sold Ibrahimovic, but effectively integrated the team into an organic whole."

"Think about it again, why is Mourinho able to achieve results?"

Before anyone could answer, Yang Huan gave the answer himself.

"Because of the strong support of the management!"

"None of the head coaches who can make a lot of achievements in Europe's top leagues is worthless. The key is behind the head coach, whether he can get the support of the club, and how strong the support is."

After hearing this, Fasone and the others couldn't stop nodding.

Many fans always think how good the head coach is, how advanced the style of play is, or something else, but they don't know that it is possible to make some achievements in the four major leagues at the top of the pyramid in European professional football, which is the most competitive in the world.
In a season and a year, how many troubles the team will encounter, how many difficulties, how many emergencies will occur, can the head coach who has gained a reputation last for a year?
Do not make jokes!
As for the style of play, watching the food and eating, the head coach basically knows it, but each has its own strengths.

"So, during Mourinho's coaching period, he was able to integrate the team into a united whole. Because the management wanted to go all out and compete for the Champions League, he gave Mourinho the power of the dressing room, and some core players were also eager to win the Champions League. The goal was the same, so he also cooperated with Mourinho. In addition, Mourinho was indeed capable and attractive, so the team became a monolith!"

"However, if we look back at the past few years, do we still have a whole to speak of? Do we still have a sense of teamwork?"

Apart from Fassone, Branca and Osirio are all old courtiers of Inter Milan. They have both experienced Inter Milan from the trough to the peak, and then from the peak to today's decline. They have to admit that this is indeed the case.

The years of Inter Milan between Mancini and Mourinho look more like a special period.

In the past 20 years, a chaotic situation like the present is the norm for Inter Milan.

The difference is that Moratti used to have money and could afford to support stars, but now he has no money and can only pile up a group of second-rate players.

As for the team awareness and integrity that Master Huan mentioned, most of them did not have it during the Moratti period.

There are basically two reasons. One is that Moratti has always had a close relationship with players, which is praised by fans and the media. But the problem is that too much involvement in the team interferes with the head coach and affects the authority of the head coach.

This kind of leapfrog management is a big taboo in management!
Another is the frequent coaching changes. As a result, the team has never had a unified tactical system. They often change one after the other. The players can't adapt, and the team is in disarray. The head coach is forced by performance pressure, and he is unwilling to do this kind of thing.

Needless to say what happened in the distant ten years ago, let’s just talk about the past few years, isn’t it all the same?
The three major managers of Inter Milan have heard many people say that Master Huan is the most knowledgeable owner in Europe, and even one of them can be omitted. At that time, they still had some disbelief and doubts.

However, at this moment, after hearing what Young Master Huan said, they had to admit that this evaluation was absolutely correct.

Just for Master Huan's in-depth analysis of Inter Milan is enough to prove this point!
However, in the face of the terrible situation of Inter Milan, does he really have a solution?
