310 Grab the knife

As the derby approaches, especially the Milan derby and Italian derby in two consecutive rounds, Inter Milan is away and hosts, the game situation is very serious, and the atmosphere at the Pinetina base is getting stronger and stronger.

In the two UEFA Champions League group stages against Porto, Yang Cheng bluntly said in the locker room that he was very dissatisfied, but he did not blame the players more, but was actively looking for solutions. He knew very well that if the impact of Emerson's absence could not be solved in the knockout round, the team would be stared at by the opponent in the knockout round.

But the schedule definitely couldn't give him too much time to prepare. One game after another, Yang Cheng seemed to be in the market and didn't have much time to adjust.

After the Porto game, Inter Milan began to practice its tactics against AC Milan in a targeted manner. Ancelotti's Red and Black Legion still followed the skeleton of the Trim era in terms of frame, but added some of Ancelotti's own things.

From a certain perspective, Trim was depressed because he planted a tree and Ancelotti came to cool off!

Of course, this is only temporary. As long as Ancelotti is given more time, he will bring more changes to this AC Milan.

Compared with the 58-game unbeaten record of Ross and Black fans shouting to protect the club, Ancelotti seems relatively low-key in this regard, never mentioning the victory, but just saying that he should do his best.

On the contrary, Inter Milan's head coach Yang Cheng made a high-profile statement at the press conference before the game, hoping that the team could double-kill AC Milan and continue to maintain its advantage over the Ross and Blacks.

"We all know that over the past two years, we have always maintained our advantage in the Milan derby. I hope to continue to maintain this psychological advantage. I believe that this is what all Inter Milan fans want to see!"

Of course, the reporters took a welcome attitude towards Yang Cheng's high profile and hoped that Yang Cheng could say more, but Caesar was not a fool. He knew what it means to stop at the right time.

…………

…………

After leaving the press conference at the Pinetina base, Yang Cheng asked the staff to see off the reporters, and he walked towards the office.

When passing the intersection of the corridor, I saw a staff member wearing Inter Milan training suit coming over, wearing a pair of glasses, and a little fat. When the two passed by, the man nodded politely to Yang Cheng and greeted him, "Hello, Caesar!"

"Hello!" Yang Cheng responded with a smile.

After walking a few steps, Yang Cheng stopped, turned his head, looked at the back of the man, and continued to move forward.

"It looks so familiar. Who is this person?" Yang Cheng couldn't figure it out.

However, there are so many staff members at the Pinelotina base, especially recently, as Interrelo Base is preparing to move to the Pinelotina base, the nearby projects are under construction, and people are coming and going, and there are many staff members at the club, who come here to adapt and arrange them in advance.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng didn't think there was any problem.

When he returned to his office, Yang Cheng's cell phone rang.

"Hey, Caesar!" Fachetti's voice rang over the other side of his phone.

"I will turn off the phone later, Jia Qintu!" Yang Cheng smiled.

The other party was also laughing, "Just finished the press conference?"

"Yeah!" Yang Cheng replied, "Is there anything wrong?"

"We'll come to find you!" After saying that, he hung up his phone.

About 10 minutes later, Facheti and Morati appeared in Yang Cheng's office, where Yang Cheng was sitting in the main seat to make tea to entertain the two immediate bosses, as well as an Italian middle-aged man sitting opposite him.

"Come on, have tea!" Yang Cheng greeted, but his eyes were turning back and forth between Morati and Facheti, obviously waiting for their introduction.

"This is Marco Blanca, the club's new deputy manager!" Fachetti introduced with a smile.

Yang Cheng looked at Blanca, "I'm glad to meet you, Marco!"

"It is my honor to see you, Caesar!" Blanca responded with a smile.

"After taking office, Marco will be responsible for the work of cooperating with the team, including some transfer operations, etc.," Fachetti explained the club's new power distribution.

Yang Cheng has always hoped that Inter Milan can leave Moratti and adopt a model similar to a professional manager, just like Juventus. Of course, Inter Milan cannot hire someone like Moji to serve as general manager.

After Facheti took over Inter Milan, he was deeply influenced by Yang Cheng and was also committed to promoting this matter. Marco Blanca and others were all players he promoted, and they would all be Facheti's right-hand hands.

It is obvious that the arrival of Moratti and the other two was not just to introduce Marco Blanca to Yang Cheng. Next, they discussed the progress of the new stadium and the relocation of Interrelo base. Yang Cheng always insisted on one thing, that is, to attach importance to youth training, so that a club can have a future.

"At present, Italy's youth training generally lags behind other European countries, and the club management is also very unprofessional and is too behind. If you don't get rid of these many problems, you will definitely be dragged further and further by your competitors in the future!" Yang Cheng said with great certainty.

Morati has been convinced by Yang Cheng for a long time. Even when Yang Cheng was about to take over Inter Milan, he reached a consensus on youth training. In recent years, Inter Milan's investment in youth training camps has always ranked first in Serie A, and has achieved very good results.

"How is the Italian Professional League elections going on recently?" Yang Cheng asked casually.

"It's still the same thing, I can't choose someone!" Fachetti shook his head and sighed.

Anyone who truly knows the current situation of Italian football knows that it is a mess of loose sand!

In Yang Cheng's previous life, many Serie A fans attributed the reason for Serie A to the phone door. In fact, this is incorrect, because even if there is no phone door, something happens sooner or later in Serie A. It is not entirely because of the sacred league between Juventus and AC Milan, nor is it all other reasons, but because of the overall environment.

Without further ado, let’s talk about the leaders of the Italian club.

Everyone knows the character of Juventus leader Moji. Juventus vice chairman Bertega is even more greedy. Not long ago, he asked the Italian government to declare football in a crisis state and apply for financial subsidies and tax relief. This is really unimaginable. It is simply relying on clubs to make profits, or even conducting certain activities.

Rome's chairman Senci claimed to represent the interests of small and medium clubs. Indeed, he and Rome both represent some poorer clubs in the south. However, if you have more contact with Senci, you will find that he is a bit similar to the nouveau riche, who speaks without saying anything and swears at all times.

Just a few days ago, he criticized Capello in an interview. Every sentence was filled with swear words from the Roman region. Capello directly fought back, and it was rumored outside that Capello was likely to be dismissed because of this.

As for the interests Sensi mentioned, is this true?

Nowadays, the clubs in the north hope to unify the broadcast rights of all Serie A teams and conduct collective negotiations. Then, each club will separate the components and adopt a model similar to the Premier League. Of course, in the division, since the fans and appeal of several giant teams such as Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan account for about 80% of the resources in Serie A, it is proposed to occupy the majority of the share.

However, some clubs led by Rome do not do it. They insist on adopting independent sales. Even when there is a problem in negotiations, these clubs directly cross the professional league and speak to the government.

This is how the decision to postpone Serie A for one month last season!

The election of professional league chairmen is still the same, and all parties can't stand it.

"There have been three elections, but no chairman has been elected!" Fachetti seemed very distressed.

Compared with many clubs, Inter Milan is relatively healthy in image. Morati has always been a sucker, and his image is not much different. Facheti always gives people a moderate feeling.

"According to regulations, each election must exceed two-thirds before it can be counted. Now Sensi and Tanji have not received enough votes. Many ***ists have adopted the method of giving up, and the votes have not reached two-thirds at all."

Speaking of this, Fachetti couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "You didn't go to the scene, it was simply a farce, attacking and annihilation, humiliating each other, in short... it's hard to imagine!"

After hearing Fachetti's words, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. This is how democracy in Italy is!

"What happens if there is no consensus on the contrary?" Yang Cheng asked.

"There was no consensus two years ago when the Football Association presidential election was elected. In the end, Olympic Committee Chairman Petlucci was the same as the Football Association Chairman. This time, the relevant departments have already made a statement. If the chairman cannot be elected, Football Association Chairman Carano will preside over the work of the Professional Football League, but in this way, the Professional League is considered to be affiliated with the Football Association!"

This is also why everyone starts to panic.

Professional leagues have always been independent from foreign countries and operate independently, and have all the power over the two major leagues of Serie A and Serie B, including referee assignment, setting schedules, foreign aid policies, commercial development and punishment of violations, etc. It can be said that professional leagues are the managers of Serie A and Serie B, and the Football Association is responsible for the Italian national team.

After hearing this, Yang Cheng suddenly understood why everyone is anxious now.

It's nothing more than profit!

If the professional league is controlled by the Football Association, the Football Association will definitely want to get a piece of the professional league as it was in the earliest days, which is a historical regression, which is what all professional clubs do not want to see.

If you don't want to be controlled by the Football Association, you have to elect a chairman, but Sensi and Tanji are incompatible with each other, and the electors have been unable to choose a result, which has led to the current situation.

Yang Cheng couldn't help but recall his previous life. The situation was the same at that time, but he did not let the Football Association Chairman Carano take over, but AC Milan general manager Galliani temporarily took over as the chairman of the professional league. The latter worked until the telephone door broke out before he voluntarily stepped down.

"The southern small and medium clubs led by Rome now seem very united, but in fact they are doing things in a mess. As long as it is a matter of professional leagues, whether it is good or bad, they all adopt the opposite attitude and strategy from the Northern League. As long as the North agrees, they oppose it, and as long as the North opposes, they agree!"

Speaking of this, Fachetti shook his head and laughed.

Everyone also thinks that southerners sometimes listen to cuteness!

Just like Senci, you can think he is vulgar and has no image, but his investment in Rome is beyond doubt. Without him, there would be no Rome's championship last season!

People have two sides!

"There is no solution?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

Facheti and Morati looked at each other and nodded, "There is another way, which is to show a third candidate!"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Moratti and Facheti, and immediately understood, "We?"

"Yes!" Fachetti nodded, "Just in the morning, the presidents of many clubs called and wanted to recommend Inter Milan as the third candidate, but we had no preparations for election before!"

Inter Milan has never been very enthusiastic about intervening in this kind of dispute. Since Morati, few people have participated in this kind of competition, and are not as active as Juventus and AC Milan.

However, Yang Cheng felt that the support of these small clubs was reasonable.

First of all, Inter Milan has been strong and successful in recent seasons. It can be said that under Yang Cheng's coach, Inter Milan is the strongest team in Serie A today, no one, but the success of competitive sports is only one of them, and on the other hand, Inter Milan's success outside of competitive sports.

To date, Inter Milan's expenses have come from the club itself, and the wealth of Moratti and the vice presidents have not been used yet. From this point of view, it can be seen that Inter Milan's success in the past three years of transformation.

Without further ado, Inter Milan made it fat and greasy when traveling to Asia, which attracted the envy of other European wealthy families.

In this case, it is not unreasonable for those small clubs to support Inter Milan, not to mention that Morati and Fachetti have always had a good image in Italy.

The only regret is that neither Morati nor Facheti had the idea of ​​participating in the competition, they just wanted to do a good job in Inter Milan.

"I think I can consider it!" Yang Cheng expressed his thoughts.

"Why?" Morati asked back.

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "This is the environment in Serie A now. Whoever controls the professional league can control Serie A and Serie B. Although the chairman has limited power, the role it can play is huge."

"Inter Milan has always adhered to an attitude that is not actively involved in power struggles, but I think this indifference is based on strength. Only when you have the power that others fear can you not infringe on your interests. Otherwise, the knife is in the hands of others, and it will be a pleasure to kill you when it will be!"

In the past, Inter Milan was indeed at the mercy of others, but now it is different and the situation has changed. We should take this opportunity to go further. At least we must have the ability to protect ourselves, right?

In Yang Cheng's view, participating in the election does not care about whether you are elected or not, but about showing an attitude.

Since there are so many small clubs that support you, if you don’t stand up, you will be a coward. But once you stand up, even if you can’t choose, those who are planning to deal with you in the future will consider the results.

After listening to Yang Cheng's analysis, Morati and Facheti immediately became frown deeply.
