The amazing performance of the Luo Luo combination naturally became the focus topic after the game. Old Maldini talked about this topic in an interview with media reporters. "We lost two goals in this game, which is equivalent to the usual two goals. The combination of romario and Ronaldo is the strongest striker I have ever seen. If the two men still maintain their current competitive state in the 2008 World Cup, then the championship trophy will be in the Brazilian pocket."
The Italian reinforced concrete defense is well known to the world, but Brazil can score three goals in a row to equalize the score. If romario hadn’t teased him out of his mind in Materazzi, he would have left with a red card. In any case, the winner would be the Samba Corps.
Therefore, the old Maldini’s comments and praise for Brazil after the game made the Brazilian team suddenly become the biggest favorite of the World Cup champion.
In the second round, in another match, England won the Anglo-French war by beating the old enemy France by a last-minute winner, alan shearer, the home center.
Chapter 46 The transfer market is in full swing (1)
After the second round of the four-nation invitational tournament, Italy ranked first among the four teams with one win and one draw, followed by England (3 points), Brazil (2 points) and France (1 point).
As there is only the last round left in the competition, the host country of the invitational tournament, France, has been able to determine the champion, while Italy has the best winning situation among the four teams. The old Maldini team needs to beat France in the last game to ensure the first place.
In England and Brazil, they must try their best to beat each other in a match, and at the same time, they must pray that Italy will not win France successfully before it can win the first place.
Three days later, the old Maldini continued his rotation experiment. In the final match against France, he resumed his formation against England and his starting list was adjusted.
The goalkeeper was replaced by pagliuca and rested for a game. Maldini and panucci reappeared in the starting list, but the central defender group became Cannavaro and Starr. Old Maldini seemed to want to see if they could have a good chemical reaction in the central defender position.
Four players from Chelsea and Fiorentina divided up four positions in the midfield. Zola played well in the Blues this season. He combed the midfielder Dibiagio in place of albertini in Chelsea teammate dimatteo. After a truce, young tommasi also ushered in the opportunity to start in the national team.
On the front line, the choice of the old Maldini is quite surprising. Roberto Baggio and pierrot both lost the match list, suggesting that the position of No.9 and a half with Italian characteristics is far less important in the eyes of the old Maldini. Compared with No.9 and a half, the coach of the national team prefers the impact center like vieri and the pure shooter like Inzaghi.
Therefore, in this game, Lao Ma sent chiesa and pierluigi casiraghi. The former’s surface shooting and the latter’s impact can be said to complement each other in the eyes of Old Maldini.
However, the head coach of the French team Jacques and the old Maldini have the same intention, and also for the purpose of training. He made a more thorough rotation. Even Zida, the core of the team, Deschamps and Blanc were placed on the bench, which shows that the French team has a strong rotation in this game.
But in this way, the result of this game can be imagined.
There is no shortage of excellent players in French football at any time, but there are only a handful of truly glorious periods for the French national team. The reason is that France always lacks a leader who can unite these naturally romantic players.
Therefore, without the roots of Zida bring up the rear, the French team can’t be called a strong team. The players can’t twist a rope at the roots, and the result is that they are beaten by the Italians again and again.
Three-to-one This is the score displayed on the big screen of the stadium when the referee blew the final whistle. Italy beat France completely in the "away game".
With the victory of this game, the Apennines won the first place in the four-nation invitational tournament with two wins and one draw. Although there were no gold medals and trophies, this honor was enough to make Italian fans a little excited.
On the other hand, facing the increasingly tacit understanding of the Lolo combination, the hoddle Three Lions Corps finally lost to romario after struggling with its opponents for 90 minutes, helping the Samba Corps win the only victory in this competition and lock the runner-up position.
However, after losing the game, England ranked third in the host country, France, and it was very embarrassing to get a draw in the opening game, and the Gaul rooster ranked bottom.
Although the French fans were disappointed by the poor performance of the host team, the four-nation invitational tournament held in France has played a very positive role in other aspects
For the World Cup Organizing Committee and the French Football Association, it is a warm-up atmosphere for the 2008 World Cup. For the coaches of football powers, they have a deeper understanding of the current situation of their own command teams, so that they can have a year to reinforce the shortcomings of the teams; For the fans, this invitational tournament has given them more talk in this summer; For club owners and executives such as Zhuang Ge, Moggi and Galliani, this invitational tournament can be said to be an excellent opportunity to observe their favorite players. And for these players, this invitational tournament is not a stepping stone for them to impress the giants?
Although the French national team ranked at the bottom of the invitational tournament, the ability of these French players in the competition touched many coaches who came to watch the game, and the decline of the French League in recent years made it easier for French players to study abroad
After Wenger, the meritorious manager of the club, announced that he would leave at the end of the season, this team, which has just won three consecutive titles in Ligue 1, was not shocked by this heavy news, and many players also raised their minds after seeing the manager find another job.
Monaco is a poor team and can have so many good players. On the one hand, it is because Wenger is good at cultivating young players, on the other hand, it is also due to Zhuang Ge’s guidance.
Otherwise, with the financial resources of Monaco club, you still want to finish the French League three times in a row? Winning a championship once is a smoke from their ancestral graves.
Now that manager Arsene Wenger has decided to leave, Monaco players have finally been unable to resist submitting transfer applications to the club, expressing their hope to play in a higher level league.
And after learning this news, all the teams moved randomly and rushed to this European casino with a lot of dollars to buy their long-cherished goal here.
After a ticket waving checkbook club robbed Monaco’s top management, it was finally knocked down by successive gold shells. After Ajax supermarket, Monaco supermarket was officially opened.
Ismail, the main central defender, decided to go to Serie A to experience Italian defense as a defender. Left-back Candeira is said to be watched by both Real Madrid and Rome. Trezeguet and Henry were also tempted by the top three in the North.
The Premier League team, which has been looking for high-level players, also organized a delegation to carve up Monaco. Everton saw Dakot, Chelsea took a fancy to leboeuf Pires and Petit, and they flirted with their mentor Wenger to coach Arsenal …
In the summer of 1997, the transfer market was still wonderful.
Chapter 47 The transfer market is booming (2)
After talking about Monaco, let’s take a look at Ajax, an old star supermarket that has been open for three years.
Like Monaco, Ajax faced another crisis this summer. Team coaches Fan Jiaer and Wenger made the same choice. The Dutch coach decided to take over from Robson, who left due to illness at the end of the season, to coach Barcelona, two Spanish giants.
Although Barcelona President Nunez and Barcelona godfather cruyff were very difficult to deal with for some reasons, they reached a rare agreement on inviting Fan Jiaer to coach the team.
In Nunez’s view, Fan Jiaer, who led Ajax to win the Champions League, is in line with Barcelona’s status as a giant; In cruyff’s eyes, Fan Jiaer, who was born in Ajax and studied under michels, can perfect and stick to the ikiaka tactical system he founded.
In this way, because the two most powerful bosses of Barcelona have expressed their support for Fan Jiaer, Fan Jiaer has got unexpected power from these two real figures-the transfer of players
To know that Spain is not an English transfer force, it is generally in the hands of the general manager of the club, but the head coach Fan Jiaer has been assigned this part of the force from the club manager, which has to be said to be a surprise.
It is not yet official that Fan Jiaer has paved the way for his own trip to Barcelona at this moment. He insists and strongly urges Barcelona to send someone to bring in the players he wants and start selling those players he considers to be "right" for the team.
Fan Jiaer’s first target is that his old club Ajax is listed in Fan Jiaer. Delport Brothers, Littmanning and Van der Sar are all famous.
In the face of Fan Jiaer’s "one of our own", Van Prager has no good way to deal with it except to feel angry. After the implementation of Bosman Act, the opinions of players, especially these stars, have become more and more important in the transfer transaction.
The only thing that can make Van Prager feel at ease is that when he renewed the contract with the backbone of these teams two years ago, he extended the contract period to 1999, which means that Ajax can still take the initiative in the transfer of players. If Barcelona law makes Ajax satisfied with the transfer, he has enough reasons to refuse to let him go.
Barcelona’s money is not blown by the wind. Faced with Ajax in a limited budget, these players make a high transfer. Even if they are rich, Barcelona can temporarily stay away.
In the case that his poaching was blocked, Fan Jiaer was able to expand his screening scope. In AC Milan, he had a rather unsatisfactory life. reiziger and bogarde, his two old cadres, naturally entered his field of vision.
Adriano Galliani was also very excited about the Barcelona proposal when he came to Fan Jiaer, but the new Rossoneri coach Claudio Ranieri tried his best to stop the transfer. He believed that he had the ability to get Kluivert back to his best.
Back to Ajax, although the high transfer rate scared off the threat, Barcelona saved the backbone of the team, but Van Prager’s move also aroused the hope of playing in the top leagues in Europe, which paved the way for the complete collapse of the players in less than two years.
Except Monaco and Ajax, two star supermarkets, other football clubs that are short of money or not famous have also been harassed by these rich clubs to varying degrees.
Fan Jiaer brought in his fellow countryman hesp, a 32-year-old Dutch goalkeeper, from Rhoda JC to replace Portuguese Bai Ya in the main position after he failed to lure Van der Sar.
Digged away by four major league teams, Monaco also bullied the club at the lower level. This French team with a large transfer budget spent 10,000 US dollars to introduce willy sagnol from the saint etienne Club in the second division to fill the gap after Dimeco faded out of the main team.
Ludovic giuly arrived from Lyon for $750,000. After Pires decided to move to Arsenal, the right winger, who scored 16 goals in Ligue 1 this season, was recognized by Monaco Club as the team’s new attack engine.
At the same time, in order to balance the growing financial sales, Monaco has also signed an agreement with Florence, the most popular player at present. After some bargaining, the two sides signed a five-year entrusted training agreement, to the effect that Florence can entrust Monaco with the training methods for their players, and each player’s annual training ranges from 50,000 to 20,000 US dollars, while Monaco has to ensure that each player’s appearances should not be less than two times per season and the total appearances should not be less than 15 minutes.
Although the competitiveness of Ligue 1 in recent years is not as good as before, it has done a good job in training players. For example, this club in Monaco has done a good job in player processing, far from Vija and djorkaeff; With the history of Henry and Trezeguet, Monaco has also cultivated a number of famous superstars such as Mai Kong, Giuly and Evra.
Therefore, after signing this agreement, Zhuang Ge immediately sent the youth team Rigatuso and perrotta to the past. In the past, there was a surplus of offensive talents and a serious shortage of defensive strength. These two teenagers in Monaco could get enough exercise opportunities.
Similarly, Florence signed a commissioned training agreement and Ajax, who had tasted the sweetness before, but the term of this agreement was seven years. Van Prager had planned to tie Ajax to the chariot in Florence.
After signing this agreement, Van Prager felt a little relieved. Although renting players from other clubs for a long time to make a living will damage Ajax’s reputation, it is better to be realistic-don’t put on any big fights when the family is almost exposed.
Without good grades, there will be no large amount of video broadcast and competition bonuses. Without these incomes, the club’s hematopoietic function will be maintained, thus forming a vicious circle.
Therefore, in Van Prager’s view, it is very beneficial for the club to sign this agreement with Florence, which has a lot of high-quality resources. After all, the president of Florence has a notoriously sinister vision, and he has hardly missed his sight in these years.
