Legend of the Blue Lion

Chapter 398 The New No. [-] Magic Flute II

……

The glory of the past is still in my ears.The new drum of war has sounded.

The Rossoneri, defying the wind and rain.Brand new jersey, set sail again.

Time goes by, and the time passes by.The only thing that remains unchanged is the belief in red and black.

……

Italy, Milan, Milanello

Milan's new season conference is a special publicity.

This is the first large-scale event planned by Mega after entering the management team.

As the CEO of the management team, He Yi, dressed in a black professional suit, appeared in the public eye as the host of the press conference.

It has to be said that the grandeur and gracefulness of oriental women can be felt from her speech and behavior.

As soon as the press conference opened, it was the display of the new season jerseys.

As for the team, led by Kaka, Cutrone, Romagnoli, and He Yu were directly sent to attend.

Signature coaches, captains and vice captains, and the number one star are all on the list.

Wearing new jerseys, they made speeches on the stage one by one, delivered some reflections, and their expectations for the new season.

……

"Please, the newly joined players come out!

Mr. N'Golo Kante, welcome to Milan! "

He Yi smiled and spoke.

The latest French midfielder, Kante, played in the new season jersey.

His jersey number is 5, which is a main number.

Kanter was shy and ended his speech without saying a few words.

This is exactly his style, he seldom speaks, and when he gets on the court, he just does...

After Kanter was seated, the graceful He Yi took the microphone again.

Moderate smile, very intellectual beauty.

"Everyone, please join me in welcoming a new player once again."

……

When He Yi said this, she deliberately paused.

Still smiling, he looked at everyone, as if deliberately creating suspense.

Her words quickly caused a commotion in the media at the scene.

Because before this press conference, there were rumors of several big-name players having an affair with Milan.

However, it has not yet been conclusively confirmed.

It's just a concept of chasing after wind and shadows, no one will fully believe it.

And Milan did not officially announce any signings again except for Kanter.

Hazard?
De Bruyne?

Pogba?
But all the outstanding players in the midfield position have become the target of Milan's gossip...

Knowing that the effect had been achieved, He Yi immediately announced:
"Welcome, Mister Mateo Kovacic!
Welcome to Milan! "

……

"boom!"

This was like a ticking time bomb, and it immediately caused a state of frying at the entire press conference.

Kovacic joined Milan, which was something that was never expected.

After all, his position in Arsenal is very stable, and he has the title of Magic Flute II, and he is not playing it randomly.

Moreover, he is also a master-level star who can rank in the top five in the world football today in the central midfielder position.

When Kovacic played in Milan's red and black arrow shirt.Moreover, it is still a great honor to wear the number 10 jersey.

Only then did everyone truly believe that he had really come.

Even the expressions of veteran players such as He Yu clearly showed that they also just learned of Kovacic's joining...

The No. 10 jersey has a specific meaning in the AC Milan team.

And the player who wears the No. 10 jersey in the team must be extraordinary.

They all have good footwork and extraordinary abilities...

The history of Milan's No. 10, first Nils Liedholm (Nils Liedholm), one of the Swedish Three Musketeers, and then the golden boy, Gianni Rivera (Gianni Rivera) took over his mantle.

And Rivera is also the player who has worn the No. 10 jersey for the longest time in the history of Milan. For nearly 20 years, this number has not changed hands.

A string of lesser-known players followed, with Milan relegated to Serie B twice in that period.

The next well-known player is Ruud Gullit, one of the Dutch Three Musketeers. He has been wearing it for six years since 1987.

Since then, the legendary star, Dejan Savicevic (Dejan Savicevic) has succeeded Gullit. He is also the first No. 10 of the Milan team after the Serie A reform system.

From the World Cup in France again, Zvonimir Boban (Zvonimir Boban) inherited this number, after that, the Portuguese Rui Costa (Rui Costa).

Immediately afterwards, Clarence Seedorf (Clarence Seedorf) took the initiative to apply for this jersey. Even if Ronaldinho joined Milan, he refused to give up his number.

So far, it's really star-studded...

However, since Milan began to fall, the owner of the No. 10 jersey is He Yu's old acquaintance, the former Milan prince, Boateng;

Japanese, Keisuke Honda who played the official version of Captain Tsubasa;
Free-kick expert, Chakkaku King, Calhanoglu...

It is true that one generation is not as good as the previous generation, the situation is declining, and the No. 10 jersey has also begun to become lonely.

……

Kovacic's sudden drop from the sky and his miraculous joining was a slap in the face of countless media on the scene.

In this transfer operation, Milan has achieved the ultimate in confidentiality work, and there is no rumor at all.

It has to be said that Mega is very good at management and operation.

Just after the press conference, the details of this transfer broke out on the Internet...

The transfer fee is 5600 million euros, the contract is for four years, and the annual salary is 1250 million euros.

Because of Kovacic's contract with Arsenal, there is only one year left.

Otherwise, at his 30-year-old age, at least 1 million will go up.

And why did you choose Milan?

It was the most questions he received at the press conference and after the conference.

The answer he gave was also very simple and straightforward:

"I've been a Milan fan since I was a kid, and I'm Rosenelli too.

And Kaka was my childhood idol! "

……

On the day after the press conference in Milan, all staff assembled.

There are newcomers coming, and they are all at the big bowl level, which is indeed very intimidating.

Kovacic, Kanter, Jorginho, the two signings are all midfielders.

One front and two backs are definitely a combination of 1 plus 2 greater than 3.

There is no doubt that the three main positions in Milan's midfield in the new season have been contracted by them.

The original list of first-line players has not changed much.

In addition to De Qieli's retirement, the loan player who had an outstanding performance last season, the midfielder Brahim Diaz, also ended his loan and returned to Manchester City.

It is said that Blue Moon rejected Milan's buyout and had to ask someone to go back.

This can be regarded as the most regrettable personnel change of the head coach Kaka.

After all, Diaz was the player he insisted on bringing in.

Another one is the Portuguese on the right, Thiago Dias, who completed the transfer and went to Fulham in the Premier League.

……

So far, under the premise that the three main positions in the midfield are determined, Mastour and Cutrone each have a position on the forward line.

The defense line is relatively stable, with four players lined up.

The only weakness is the two full-backs, Maldini Jr. on the left and Bellanova on the right...

So the remaining main position, is it a midfielder or a striker?

Kaka's tactical concept, will he play 442, 451, or 433?

Whether, there will be new players joining...
