Super Marshal

"Amoruso?"

When Gao Han heard this name, he tried hard to think about it in his mind, but he still couldn't remember it. He always felt that it was very familiar, but also seemed strange. Where had he heard of it?

"He played for Dortmund and played with us." Guardiola reminded.

Gao Han suddenly realized, "It turns out to be him."

The Brazilian striker became famous at Udinese in Serie A. He later went to Parma, but performed poorly, and then went to Dortmund. He had a brief high-level performance, but soon fell.

Because of this, Gao Han feels familiar yet strange.

"If I remember correctly, he should be quite young, right?"

"Yes." Guardiola nodded. "He is thirty-one years old, and his performance in Sao Paulo is not particularly ideal. He scored 12 goals in 22 games. He is no longer in his prime."

Gao Han thought deeply, "It is estimated that AC Milan will change its transfer strategy from now on."

"What?" Guardiola didn't quite understand.

"To put it simply, there is no money." Gao Han said more straightforwardly.

"No money?" Guardiola was a little unbelievable. Berlusconi is a famous Italian business tycoon and the Prime Minister of Italy. How can such a powerful person who enjoys both political and business circles have no money?

Gao Han nodded firmly, "Now is the turning stage of Serie A. AC Milan is ranked fourth, still behind Fiorentina, and even the fourth position is not stable. As long as there is still some funds at this time, they should increase their investment. Strength, at least grab one of the top three in the league, this is the style of a wealthy team."

"But at this time, Vieri, who sent away the big salary maker, brought in Amoruso. The reason is self-evident, and it is because Amoruso is cheap. But this will have a huge impact on the team's morale. "

Some people call winter break transfers a window, which not only represents a period of time, but is also a display platform.

According to AC Milan's performance in the first half, they should have used the winter break transfer window to demonstrate their determination to fight to the end, but sending Vieri away at this time and bringing in Amoruso will definitely dampen morale. of.

What hurts the hearts of the team even more is that AC Milan successively had scandals with Lyon's Chris, Villarreal's Rodriguez and many other players, and contacted them, but the results all ended in vain.

This is tantamount to telling everyone in disguise that they can't afford it.

Of course, AC Milan is still very strong and there should be no problem in the top four in the league.

"You are right, it is indeed the case. The most active player in the transfer market during the winter break is the biggest dark horse in the first half, Fiorentina." Guardiola supported Gao Han's judgment.

The so-called dark horse is one who was originally very weak and inconspicuous, but suddenly burst out with surprising fighting power.

Although Inter Milan has won 17 games in a row, it was the number one favorite to win the championship before the season and is not considered a dark horse.

On the contrary, Fiorentina currently firmly occupies third place in the league and can be called the number one dark horse.

Prandelli is also well-known throughout Italian football, and boss Della Valle has also decided to increase investment. It is said that the signing target has reached double digits, which shows that Fiorentina is eager to strengthen the team through winter break transfers. , determination to fill the team's holes to ensure that the team continues to perform at a high level in the second half.

However, no matter how hard Fiorentina strengthens, it is still not strong enough to challenge Inter Milan.

"I have received news that Juventus is actively poaching Bayern Munich's Sagnol."

"Sagnol?" Gao Han couldn't help but pay attention to it.

As he said before the game against Juventus, the Bianconeri's entire lineup is perfect. The only weakness is that there is only one full-back, Gianluca Zambrotta.

As the saying goes, if you play on the left with Zambrotta, you will have a weak spot on the right. If you play on the right, the left will be a loophole.

It is also because of this that Juventus wants to introduce Sagnol.

This is not a piece of news, but old news. The news came out as early as November last year. Rummenigge, one of Bayern Munich's three giants, also personally criticized Juventus and believed that the Bianconeri were poaching. It goes against the principles of the G14 group.

Unexpectedly, Moji still insisted on having his own way.

Sagnol is considered one of the top right backs in European football at the moment. If he comes to Juventus and Zambrotta plays on the left, then the Bianconeri's lineup will be perfect.

"It seems that our opponent has really spent a lot of money." Gao Han chuckled, and his whole person became excited.

Fortunately, he was worried before that the second half would become boring.

But now it seems that in order to unseat Inter Milan, Juventus has really spent a lot of money, not only falling out with Bayern Munich, but also poaching Sagnol to fill the last shortcoming in the team's lineup.

Juventus has strengthened its strength, and the second half of Serie A has become interesting again.

"What? You're not worried at all?" Guardiola was a little confused when he saw Gao Han's smile.

Although they beat Juventus in the first half, the addition of Sagnol will definitely bring Juventus' strength to a higher level, which will definitely be a major threat to Inter Milan.

Unexpectedly, Gao Han shook his head and laughed, "What are you afraid of? The stronger the opponent, the more enjoyable the game will be."

After a pause, he became worried for Bayern Munich. "You said, if Sagnol is really poached and Ballack wants to leave again, then Bayern Munich will really suffer heavy losses."

Who says it's not?

Guardiola also felt the same, but soon thought, we are obviously talking about Inter Milan, right? Why do you care about Bayern Munich?

However, he also understood that Gao Han was so unscrupulous in his thinking.

…………

…………

It turns out that there are some things that worry about is useless.

As soon as the transfer market opened during the winter break, Turin Sports News immediately published a piece of blockbuster news, that is, Juventus will fully introduce Bayern Munich right back Sagnol, and the transfer fee is 5 million. EUR.

This obviously does not match Sagnol's worth, but considering that Sagnol's contract with Bayern Munich only has half a year left, it is not difficult to understand.

But if it was just a piece of news, it wouldn't attract much attention.

Tuttosport also broke the news that Juventus agreed to Sagnol’s agent’s proposal to increase the player’s annual salary to three million euros, excluding bonuses, which far exceeds that of Bayern Munich. The quoted annual salary of 1.5 million euros.

With such a detail, everyone has to be shocked by Juventus' determination to fill the team's stubborn problem on the right.

Bayern Munich officials refuted the news from Tuttosport and stated that Sagnol will not leave the team.

But a day later, Sagnol's agent quickly came forward and stated that the player would not rule out the possibility of joining the Serie A giants.

Moreover, German media reported that Sagnol's agent personally went to Bayern Munich to discuss player transfers, making it clear that Sagnol hoped to transfer to Italy.

Finally, two days later, when Inter Milan was in the middle of a busy training camp during the winter break, news came from Germany that Sagnol finally transferred to Juventus for five million euros, and his annual salary was as previously reported by the media. , up to three million euros.

Capello personally attended Sagnol's joining ceremony and highly affirmed the strength of the French right back.

"This is a highly anticipated transfer. I am very happy to see Sagnol join. His arrival can greatly enhance the strength of our team and make us better in Serie A and in European competitions. Competitive.”

It was also at this press conference that Capello also responded to the topic raised by the media about Inter Milan.

"There is no doubt that Inter Milan is the leader. The seven-point advantage is not small, but we are confident that we will be able to catch up in the second half."

At the same time, Capello said that with the addition of Sagnol, he is determined to achieve a complete victory in the remaining 23 league games.

"We are confident that we will not lose another point in all the remaining games!"

Bayern Munich, who lost Sagnol, seemed helpless.

General manager Hoeness said in an interview with the media that the team has made every effort to retain the players, but the players have decided to leave.

As for Ballack, the core of the team, whose contract expires with only half a year left, Hoeness also said that he is making every effort to renew the contract.

However, judging from the news in the European transfer market, many wealthy teams, including Chelsea and Real Madrid, attach great importance to Ballack and hope to get Ballack, who also hopes to leave the Bundesliga.

While Juventus finalized Sagnol, AC Milan finally confirmed their signing, Amoruso.

Inter Milan, the league leader, also operated very efficiently this time. Blanca went to England to negotiate in person and quickly concluded a deal with Newcastle. Martins, who had just scored twice in the African Cup, finally ended up with a Worth 16 million euros, moved to the Premier League Magpies.

Martins will not return to Inter Milan after playing in the African Cup of Nations, but will go directly to Newcastle to report.

In another transfer, Burdisso also negotiated a personal treatment with Roma. For 4.5 million euros, the Argentine successfully transferred to the Giallorossi.

When Gao Han was negotiating with Roma, he initially hoped to exchange Burdiso and money for De Rossi, but Roma took De Rossi very seriously and refused without even discussing it.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up on De Rossi.

However, instead, Inter Milan reached an agreement with Brescia of Serie B to introduce Slovak teenager Marek Hamsik from Brescia for two million euros.

Gao Han personally went to Brescia, convinced Hamsik, and at the same time appeased him, allowing him to stay in Brescia until his transfer to Inter Milan this summer.

When talking to Moratti, Facchetti and Branca, Gao Han told them with certainty that Bonucci and Hamsik will become the backbone of Inter Milan in the next few years.

For the sake of protecting young players, the words of Gao Han and the management were not made public. Even the news of Inter Milan’s introduction of Hamsik did not cause the slightest movement in the transfer market. All media reporters were talking about it. Surprised by Gao Han's strategy of streamlining the team's lineup.

Last summer, many players were sold in one fell swoop. Now, even if they don’t introduce them during the winter break, they have sold two more stars in their prime. What on earth does Gao Han want to do?

Could it be that he is so confident in his team?

In response to the doubts of outside media reporters, Gao Han gave a positive reply at the press conference, saying that more troops are more valuable than more elites, and he was very satisfied with the current team lineup.

As for Capello's statement that his team would not lose points in the second half, Gao Han refuted it with a smile.

"Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway, because at least they will lose in Meazza!"
