Football giants

Chapter 801 What do you think?
This morning, Via Durini in Milan, Italy was blocked by reporters from afar.

They are not just media practitioners from Milan and Italy, but many from other European countries, especially Germany.

Some even come from all over the world.

Let them look forward to, waiting here, there is only one reason, the new coach of the Nerazzurri is about to sign.

"Come on, look, the car is coming!"

I don't know who was the first to shout out, and immediately woke up everyone in the originally not spacious Durini Avenue.

The next moment, they all rushed forward in a swarm.

The car is an Aston Martin Lagonda Conqueror dedicated to the reception of Inter Milan.

This is the car sponsor of Inter Milan!

The bodywork is printed with blue and black stripes, which is Aston Martin's exclusive color for Inter Milan.

"Everyone, don't squeeze, please make way for me, thank you!"

The staff at No. 24 Durini Avenue had received the news and immediately came out to maintain order at the scene.

After finally leaving the reporter, the car drove slowly into Durini Avenue and stopped at the gate of No. 24.

As soon as the car door was opened, the spotlights flickered frantically.

Amidst the continuous sound of flashing lights, Jurgen Klopp, who was wearing a black shirt, got out of the car. The big man laughed at the reporters at the scene as soon as he got out of the car.

Immediately, the reporters at the scene seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and rushed forward again.

"Mr. Klopp, may I ask why you chose Inter Milan?"

"I heard that Manchester United is also interested in you. Why would you want to take over the mess of Inter Milan?"

"I heard that Inter Milan offered you a sky-high annual salary, is this true?"

"It is said that the reason why you resigned from Dortmund is because of Inter Milan. Is it true?"

The scene became a mess, and all the reporters tried desperately to squeeze through.

"Hello, Mr. Klopp, I'm Inter Milan's head of PR, Paolo Vigano!"

A middle-aged Italian who had been guarding the gate for a long time greeted him immediately.

"Hello, Mr. Vigano!" Klopp hadn't seen him yet.

"plz follow me!"

After Paul Vigano winked at the staff next to him, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and turned himself sideways, allowing Klopp to walk into the office first.

The staff member stood in front of all the reporters, "I'm sorry, everyone, we will hold a press conference later, and if you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot, but now, I'm sorry!"

Someone at the scene recognized him immediately, wasn't it Luigi Kripa from the press office?

Hearing what he said, everyone was no longer impulsive.

Anyway, there will be a press conference later, you can ask anything you want, why rush it for a while?

So, they turned to care about how the photos of Klopp's debut just now were taken.

Usually, it's either good or ugly, which is more newsworthy.

"Hello, Jurgen!"

As soon as he walked into the office of Inter Milan, he saw Fassone, Branca and Osirio, the three giants of Inter Milan leading the crowd, and the staff of Inter Milan were also taking pictures and recording.

Because all of these will be sent to the official website, mobile app and WeChat official account as soon as possible to interact with fans all over the world in real time, and the entire press conference will be broadcast live on the Internet.

"Let me introduce you. This is the director of our legal department, Francesca Mutini. He will introduce you to the signing ceremony process and some details later."

"Hello, Monsieur Mutini!"

"Hello, Mr. Klopp!"

After the two shook hands, Fassone immediately introduced the next one, "This is the director of our news department, Leo Pizzi, he will be in charge of this press conference. He will introduce the conference process and some precautions later, including some things when facing media questions, because tens of thousands of fans are now waiting for our press conference on the Internet."

"So much?" Klopp was a little surprised.

Leo Pizzi chuckled, "It's not too much. When the press conference starts, it happens to be the night in Asia. It is estimated that more than six figures will pay attention, so we have to discuss it first!"

Klopp couldn't help nodding, which is also very appropriate.

It's just that I didn't expect that the head coach of Inter Milan would attract so much attention in just a press conference, which is too surprising.

Fassone mainly introduced the staff of the club's administrative department, while Branca introduced the first-team leader, stadium security director, medical department director, etc., and Osirio introduced the youth academy director and some important employees.

After this meeting, everyone moved to the high-level meeting room.

It is obvious that it has been carefully arranged, and the background is all to bring out the traditional atmosphere of Inter Milan.

Here, Klopp and Fassone, on behalf of himself and Inter Milan, signed this four-year coaching contract. The salary of the contract is only 500 million euros, not the rumored 700 million euros.

But even so, Klopp's contract is second to none in Serie A.

At present, the highest annual salary in Serie A is Conte of Juventus, 380 million euros, but Conte has been asking Juventus to renew his contract and raise his salary, and is also asking for more power.

In second place is Benitez of Naples, with an annual salary of 350 million euros.

Originally ranked third was Inter Milan's Mazzarri with 330 million euros, but the head coach has already dismissed get out of class.

Klopp's annual salary is nearly 200 million euros more than Mazari's, but considering that Inter Milan has insisted on reducing the team's salary expenditure in the past year, this sum of money is still within the acceptable range of the club.

After the two parties signed the contract, finished the signing ceremony, and discussed the press conference in the meeting room, they walked into the press conference on time.

At this time, the press conference site at No. 24 Durini Avenue had already gathered more than a hundred reporters from all over the world.

And Klopp has also changed into an Inter Milan jersey with his name printed on it.

As soon as everyone saw Klopp, accompanied by the Big Three of Inter Milan, when they walked into the press conference venue, they were all excited, and the spotlights on the scene were flickering non-stop.

The host of the press conference was Leo Pizzi, the press director of Inter Milan.

He first introduced the news of Inter Milan's four-year contract with Klopp to everyone on the scene, and briefly answered a few questions from the media, such as Klopp's annual salary.

After that, the press conference turned to the topic.

"Mr. Klopp, I am a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport. We all know that since you announced that you will leave Dortmund after the season, many teams have expressed interest in you, including Manchester United. But why did you choose Inter Milan? Serie A?"

Klopp is obviously used to seeing various scenes, and his ability to deal with the media has always been talked about by fans.

"Sorry, I can only answer this question with my broken English."

"But I want to say that you are asking the wrong question. Inter Milan is a traditional giant with a great history. It is my honor to be able to come to Inter Milan and sit here."

"Yes, he has problems now, but I believe that me and all my colleagues, as well as our players, we will be able to solve these problems, we will get rid of the difficulties of the past and become stronger!"

After hearing this, many reporters at the scene immediately praised him secretly.

This guy's mouth is not bad at all.

If he just answered the reason why he chose Inter Milan, he would have acquiesced to the belittling of Inter Milan in the reporter's question, so he specially praised Inter Milan again.

Sometimes things are like this, even if everyone knows it, it just can't be said.

"Mr. Klopp, some people say that you will bring Dortmund's football to Inter Milan, but do you think that the current Inter Milan lineup meets your tactical requirements? Or, what decision do you plan to make in the transfer market?"

"First of all, I will not simply bring Dortmund's football to Inter Milan, because it is Dortmund's football, and it may not be suitable for Inter Milan. Every team has its own characteristics. My duty is to find Inter Milan's football."

"I am very satisfied with the current team's lineup. Our age is very good, and the strength of the players is not a problem. I think this is a very competitive lineup. Since this is the case, why should I make any decisions in the transfer market?"

"Of course, if I think it is necessary after I have a deep understanding of the team, then I will make suggestions and opinions."

Many people present immediately praised the German coach in their hearts.

This guy is really experienced in dealing with the media.

"Mr. Klopp, can you please tell me what Inter Milan's football should look like in your mind?"

Klopp thought for a while and smiled: "It's touching and attractive!"

"Mr. Klopp, Inter Milan's performance in the past few years has not been satisfactory. Many fans are full of expectations for your arrival. Will this put pressure on you?"

"Well, there will definitely be pressure, but I don't think this is a bad thing, because it is a very happy thing to have a group of fans who are loyal to the team. I hope that me and my football can bring them happiness!"

"Then how do you evaluate Juventus?"

"There is no one of the strongest teams in Serie A today!"

"What about Rome and Naples?"

"The most direct competitor of Inter Milan, they have very good strength and a very good head coach!"

"What about the city rival AC Milan?"

"I believe, last season was an accident and they will have a good league position next season."

After a pause, the German coach suddenly laughed, "But... our ranking will definitely be better!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"Mr. Klopp, what do you think of the Serie A championship situation in the new season? Does Inter Milan have a chance?"

"Of course there will be, every team has a chance, no?"

After a pause, Klopp continued: "I think the league hasn't started yet. It's too early to discuss winning the championship. What we should consider most is not winning the championship, but every game and every opportunity."

"I believe that as long as we grasp every game and every opportunity well, winning the league championship is just a natural thing, and there is no need to deliberately pursue it at all. What do you think?"
