Football irons are burning

Chapter 178 Joining Inter Milan
In the final round of the Bundesliga three days later, Li Tie did not play.

球队客场1：1战平法兰克福，以28胜5平1负积89分的战绩，结束了98-99赛季的征程。

The suspense of the Bundesliga has also been revealed.

Hertha Berlin won the second place and won another seat in the Champions League.

Third, Bayern has to wait for UEFA's decision on whether to expand the Champions League.

Borussia Borussia, Leverkusen, and Dortmund rank fourth to sixth respectively. These are teams in the European theater.

And Rostock, Nuremberg and Bochum will enter the Bundesliga.

Some are happy and some are sad, no matter what, every season has its end.

Kaiserslautern and Bayern still have a German Cup final to play, Li Tie still did not participate, since he has decided to leave, he must give other players a chance.

He packed his bags and flew back to China.

After the plane landed, he saw the result of the German Cup final from the news.

Although Li Tie was absent, Kaiserslautern still defeated Bayern 2:1, won the German Cup, and achieved the glory of the Triple Crown!

Zheng Zhi officially replaced Li Tie. He played well in this game and assisted Ruud van Nistelrooy to score twice.

This also reassures the fans of Kaiserslautern a lot. Li Tie has left, and the team has another Chinese player supporting the team's backbone. Next season is still worth looking forward to.

The major media also praised Kaiserslautern's strength, believing that the era of Bundesliga diversification has arrived.

Back in China, Li Tie was naturally with his family.

Liu Fei's stomach is already very big, and she needs to be careful when walking.

Seeing Li Tie coming back, Liu Fei was naturally in a happy mood with a smile on her face.

The two were tender and affectionate, and flew directly to the Maldives, where they lived happily ever after.

At this time, the European transfer market has become lively.

Every intermission between seasons is an important moment for player transfers.

Frustrated teams will challenge the new season by supplementing players.

The biggest mover, of course, is Inter Milan.

Inter Milan's transfer fax has been sent to Kaiserslautern.

Inter Milan offered 1.5 million US dollars and officially packaged to buy Li Tie, Stankovic and Drogba.

This price highlights the image of Inter Milan people who are stupid and rich.

Kaiserslautern did not hesitate, and directly agreed to the deal.

As soon as the deal was announced, European clubs were also shocked.

1.5 million, such a big deal, only Moratti can do it!

So willing, who can compete with others?
Of course, some clubs criticized Moratti, driving up prices and disrupting the transfer market.

Some people also said that the grapes were sour because they couldn't eat grapes, and of course they also criticized Inter Milan.

However, UEFA did not intervene in this matter. Three people cost 1.5 million U.S. dollars, and an average of 5000 million U.S. dollars per person is not too much.

Although in fact, Li Tie's transfer fee may reach 9000 million, the other two are just licking their heads.

However, it is conceivable that Moratti's behavior will indeed affect the transfer market.

It is obviously impossible to buy players without any sincerity.

No player would think that he is inferior. Since Li Tie is worth so much money, why can't I be worth more?

For a while, the transfer market began to burst into bubbles, and price negotiations continued one after another, which could not subside for a long time.

Fang Jian, the agent of the three of Li Tie, personally went to Milan to discuss the treatment of the three of them with Inter Milan.

The official meeting will be held on July 7st.The previous matters were all handed over to Fang Jian.

Moratti is also very generous, directly giving Li Tie an annual salary of 1000 million US dollars, which is agreed.

As a result, Li Tie became the first player with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Both Drogba and Stankovic have an annual salary of 500 million US dollars, and they can be regarded as directly ascending to the sky in one step and becoming millionaire players.

But in this way, Inter Milan's salary structure also needs to be adjusted.

Ronaldo's annual salary must also be adjusted, and many big-name players in the team must also be adjusted, otherwise who would do it?
Why do you Li Tie get 1000 million US dollars, and I get 200 million?
This is obviously unfair to them.

After signing the three of Li Tie, Inter Milan suddenly announced that they would officially hire the Portuguese Jose Mourinho as the team's head coach for the new season.

This time, the media thought Moratti was crazy.

Inter Milan fans also ran to the Inter Milan club building to protest, expressing their incomprehension of Moratti's choice.

Originally they were very satisfied with the joining of Li Tie, Drogba and Stankovic, but now they choose a rookie coach, and the fans feel incredible.

But Moratti was unmoved and still insisted on this decision.

Mourinho's tenure is still three years. Of course, as a rookie coach, the salary will not be very high. Moratti only gave him 100 million US dollars for his age. In the first year of coaching, he must win at least one championship. Otherwise, Inter Milan has the right to terminate the contract.

The specific details are still acceptable.

For the rookie coach, Moratti is still very tolerant.

December 7, Meazza Stadium.

The press conference of Li Tie, Drogba and Stankovic joining Inter Milan was held here.

After the vacation, the three of them also came to Milan for the first time.

When the three entered the arena, the fans applauded thunderously.

The three of them, especially Li Tie, are well-known.

The three of them also waved their hands. Li Tie walked all the way, kicking the ball on the ground and kicking it into the stands.

The footwork he showed made Inter Milan fans even more excited.

Who said that Li Tie's footwork is not good? Look at this hooking action, it's all good.

Stankovic and Drogba also followed suit, kicking all the balls along the way into the stands.

When they came to the stage, the three hugged Moratti and Facchetti warmly, and finally, they hugged Mourinho who was standing aside.

"Jose, happy cooperation!"

Li Tie held Mourinho's hand tightly and said.

Mourinho already knew from Moratti that it was Li Tie who asked him to coach Inter Milan, so he was also quite grateful to Li Tie.

Although Mourinho is also very confident, not everyone has the opportunity to have the platform of a wealthy family. As soon as he made his debut, he started from a wealthy family. As long as he wins a championship this season, he can take off smoothly.

"Happy cooperation!"

Mourinho also said with a smile.

Moratti began his speech, welcoming the trio to Inter Milan.

Subsequently, Li Tie also spoke on behalf of the three.

"Hello, fans of Inter Milan! I am Li Tie. I am very happy to join such a giant club as Inter Milan. I am very excited and fortunate. This season, we will fight for the Triple Crown. I hope to continue my path of glory in Kaiserslautern and give you the best things!"

As soon as Li Tie spoke, the San Siro went crazy.

As expected of a champion player, his export is domineering, expressing the aspirations of Inter Milan fans for many years.

On the second day after joining Inter Milan, Inter Milan's jersey store ushered in a big explosion. In the new season, Li Tie wore the No. 8 jersey, which was swept away as soon as it was launched!

There is no doubt that Li Tie's jersey sales will quickly climb to No.1 in the team.

After spending so much on Li Tie, Inter Milan will definitely be able to earn back.

On the first day of training, Li Tie also quickly conquered his teammates and the coaching staff.

Ronaldo was the happiest. He finally received strong support. With Li Tie in the midfield position, Inter Milan will have a lot of counterattack opportunities, which suits Ronaldo's appetite.

Eto'o is the same, he is a speed striker, especially likes to counterattack.

After joining last season, Eto'o also integrated into the team. During Ronaldo's injury, he supported Inter Milan's striker. Otherwise, Inter Milan might not even get third.

Not to mention Drogba, he has a very good understanding with Li Tie. The new season is coming, and he will definitely play the main force. It is impossible to spend so much money to buy him as a substitute.

It depends on what formation Mourinho plays. If it is 4-4-2, Eto'o will probably be a substitute, but if it is 4-3-3, all three of them can play.

After a few days of training, Mourinho basically confirmed Inter Milan's lineup, and the club notified him to find a next home for the extra players.

Including Baggio!

Dare to drive away Baggio, Mourinho is undoubtedly very courageous, Baggio is the darling of Italian fans, no matter which club he goes to, he is an idol.

But now that the club has Ronaldo, Eto'o, Drogba and other attackers, Baggio's existence is a bit embarrassing. Let him play as a substitute?What a pity, Baggio himself has complaints.

Let him play the main force, so how do other people arrange it?

Therefore, Baggio can only leave.

At this time, Fang Jian came forward, contacted these players, and recommended the Chinese Super League to them.

Some people are willing to go, some people still decide to stay in Serie A.

Baggio finally went to Bologna for 800 million US dollars, and Ventola also went, and the two were accompanied.

After cleaning up, the team brought in a few more players. In this time and space, the foreign aid restrictions in Serie A are not very large. There is no limit to the number of applicants, but only the number of players to play. At most, 3 foreign aid players, that is, non-EU players, can be played at the same time.

Pirlo transferred from Borussia Borussia for US$2000 million, Materazzi joined for US$1200 million, Panucci returned from Real Madrid for US$1000 million, and French veteran Blanc and Italian engineer Di Biagio were exempted from visas.
After a change of blood, the Inter Milan lineup for the new season is as follows:

Goalkeepers: No. 1 Peruzzi [Italy], No. 12 Petr Cech [Czech Republic], No. 22 Frey [France]

后卫：2号卢西奥【巴西】、3号马特拉齐、5号贝尔戈米、6号帕努奇、23号科隆内塞【意大利】、4号萨内蒂【阿根廷】、15号西米奇【克罗地亚】、16号布兰克【法国】

中场：8号李鉄【中国】、17号斯坦科维奇【南联盟】、7号迪比亚吉奥、13号扎内蒂、18号皮尔洛【意大利】、10号雷科巴【乌拉圭】、14号达博、20号科埃【法国】

Forwards: No. 9 Ronaldo [Brazil], No. 21 Eto'o [Cameroon], No. 11 Drogba [Cote d'Ivoire], No. 19 Djorkaeff [France]
