Chapter 672 Arsenal

After listening to Yang Huan's words, Morati instinctively felt a chill.

After several previous contacts, Moratti could deeply feel that Yang Huan's understanding of football was quite profound.

In fact, he understands the future development trends of football better than this old man himself.

According to Inter Milan's current situation, no matter who takes over, the first thing they will do is to make changes to the team's lineup. This is also a very normal thing, but Moratti is a little worried and feels that he needs to give a reminder.

"Master Huan, there are a lot of rumors out there, but I can tell you that those rumors are half true and half false, and you can't believe them all."

When Yang Huan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "You mean, the Argentine BBQ Gang?"

Moratti suddenly gave an awkward smile, but nodded, "Yes, these players are not wrong."

Seeing Moratti's expression, Yang Huan also laughed, "Massimo, do you think I will believe the rumors outside?"

"So what you mean is..." Morati was suddenly confused.

Yang Huan shook his head. "The head coach of a football team is like the leader of a team. There are always conflicts of interest between the leader and the team members. Even among the team members, there are conflicts of interest as well."

This statement is actually very easy to understand.

The head coach first considers his own interests, that is, how to achieve results, while the players consider their position in the team, whether they can play as a starter, whether the team's tactics are suitable for them, whether they can help them perform better, and whether the salary given by the team is high enough...

Even the players cannot be united with each other, because there are only eleven players on the field, but a team often has twenty or thirty first-team players, with two or three people competing for a starting position. Who plays and who doesn't, this is a conflict of interest.

In this situation, it is inevitable that small groups will exist in the locker room of any team.

To give the simplest example, who does Cristiano Ronaldo have the closest relationship with in Real Madrid?

Marcelo!

Why is it him?

Because the Portuguese is a left winger and Marcelo is a left back, the Brazilian defender's forward assists can better help the Portuguese to play a threatening role and help him score more goals, and by doing so, Marcelo can also benefit.

Therefore, the interests of both people are the same!

Southampton, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Chelsea...all teams have such small teams.

It's not just football, it happens in all walks of life, from the power struggles among core executives, to the so-called office politics, to factional fights in ordinary workshops, aren't they all small teams fighting for interests?

Yang Huan has always believed that Moratti, who came from a wealthy family, could not fail to understand these things. In fact, as an insider, he understands them better than anyone else outside.

So, what about his alleged favoritism towards the Argentine barbecue gang?

There is only one answer: no money!

Thinking of this, Yang Huan suddenly understood why Inter Milan would lavishly renew contracts with old players after winning the treble.

It is called rewarding according to merit, but in fact it is just to prolong the team's life and maintain its combat effectiveness as much as possible, and then take the opportunity to sell it at a high price so that Moratti can withdraw calmly.

I believe that Moratti must have conducted very detailed and serious research and consideration on the two policies of metabolism, team reorganization, and renewal of contracts with old players. In the end, he chose the latter, probably because it involves less investment.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand the rumors from the outside world that he was allegedly indulging the Argentine barbecue gang.

The reason is that the team has no money to introduce new players, or the players introduced are simply unable to replace Cambiasso, Zanetti, Diego Milito and other Argentine players, so they are forced to continue to reuse these Argentine players.

Even Moratti had to repeatedly appease this group of Argentine players.

Because once these veterans all resign and leave, Inter Milan will be finished!

As for what the outside world says about who can replace Zanetti, Cambiasso, or Diego Milito, this is all an illusion. No one knows their players better than the club and coaching staff.

Let me ask, when Inter Milan is trying every means to tighten its belt and reduce financial spending, if there is a better option, would Moratti allow a group of high-paid Argentine players to occupy the main positions?

If there is profit to be made, it would be easy for Inter Milan to move against the Argentine gang!

Maybe Moratti is sentimental, easily influenced and a little willful, but he is definitely not stupid or foolish!

Born into a wealthy family, he understands the art of management better than anyone else.

On the contrary, those who think he is stupid, if they were in his position, might do a thousand times worse than him.

So, after listening to Moratti's defense of the Argentine gang, Yang laughed.

"I understand what you mean, Massimo. The presence of this group of veterans was the best choice for the team at the time, but now things are completely different from before."

When Morati heard this, he immediately understood what Yang Huan meant.

Young Master Huan is a smart man and understands the relationship between the Argentine gang and Inter Milan. However, there is a saying that is very true: a new emperor appoints new ministers. Young Master Huan has come, and his management philosophy for Inter Milan is completely different from that of Moratti.

Moratti's main task in the past few years has been to maintain the value of Inter Milan and sell it at a better price.

However, after buying Inter Milan, Yang Huan saw the long-term benefits.

Under two different business philosophies, the policies and strategies are naturally completely different.

"So, I hope everyone can part ways in peace!"

Yang Huan said this deliberately for Morati to hear.

The subtext is, Dad Mo, I know you have a good relationship with them, so please go and talk to them. There is no place for them here anymore. Let's discuss it carefully. I will let you transfer, so you don't have to stay.

"Okay, I understand!" Morati is indeed a smart man and he understands it immediately.

"But I have a doubt, Master Huan."

"Please speak!" Yang Huan got rid of a big knot in his heart and was in a good mood.

"If all the Argentine players in the team go, the team's strength will definitely be greatly affected, then..."

Yang Huan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Inter Milan will recruit players during the winter break. Currently, the midfield and backcourt are the key. I will arrange for Southampton's Nastasic, Alex Sandro, Kovacic and other young players to transfer to Inter Milan."

Morati's eyes lit up at first.

Southampton's youth training products are all quite impressive.

Nastasic, Alex Sandro and Kovacic are all the most outstanding youth training products of Southampton's post-90s generation. If these players can transfer to Inter Milan, the strength of this Inter Milan will be greatly enhanced.

More importantly, with the injection of fresh blood and vitality, Inter Milan's lineup has become more balanced.

Everyone knows that the team that is most likely to achieve good results is the one that is a combination of old, middle-aged and young players.

But soon, Morati frowned again, and he immediately thought of a problem.

It turns out that Yang Huan is treating Inter Milan as his star processing factory!

This group of young players came into the team and played well, but Serie A would definitely not be able to keep them. They would either go to Yang Huan’s other teams or be sold at a high price, and then the team would introduce young rookies and train them.

This immediately made Morati feel very uncomfortable.

But he was also a smart man and he figured it out immediately.

This is the general situation in Serie A. Doesn’t Juventus also want to sell players?

If you want to survive in this environment, you have to change yourself and let go of the airs of the wealthy team from the Treble era, so that you can survive the fittest!

Yang Huan had been paying attention to the changes in Morati's expression. He knew very well that Morati had the right to terminate the negotiations now.

But if Moratti is a smart man, he should know that with the Italian economy in a downturn and Serie A in a bad situation, Inter Milan can only take this path.

Otherwise, with Inter Milan's current debt of 70 million euros a year, if they add another superstar, the debt will be over 100 million a year. Who can bear it?

"Okay, I believe you, Master Huan!" Morati finally nodded.

Yang Huan was relieved of his worry and immediately laughed as well. "Don't worry, I'm not a miser. I've done some preliminary calculations. If the team sells off a group of players who don't fit the team's long-term development strategy, we should still be able to come up with some transfer fees during the winter break."

Nastasic's performance in Southampton is obvious to all, but the double central defender combination of Javi Martinez and Varane is very solid, and it is a bit of a waste of talent for Nastasic to be their substitute.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to send him to Inter Milan for some training.

After all, the Serie A league is still quite valuable for training defensive players.

The same is true for players such as Kovacic and Alex Sandro.

Moratti was absolutely right. Yang Huan regarded Inter Milan as an arsenal for training rookies. This was in line with the current Serie A environment and Inter Milan's situation.

"The value of the players we transfer will be kept at around 15 million euros, and we will strengthen them appropriately during the winter break. I hope I can have another good talk with Mazzarri. I hope the team can at least make it to the European competition zone, or even the top three in the league, after the season!"

Participating in the Champions League means tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of euros in revenue, which is very important for Inter Milan.

In order to be in the top three of the league, Yang Huan is even willing to spend more during the winter break!

"Okay, Angelo Mario, go and make arrangements right away and have Mazzari come to meet Master Huan!"

Morati immediately turned around and instructed his eldest son.

"Okay!" Angelo Mario agreed on the spot.

Yang Huan's impression of Mazzarri only stays during his coaching period in Naples. Judging from the results in recent years, Mazzarri is still quite capable. Moreover, Italian head coaches usually have good tactics and the ability to adapt to the situation.

Not to mention world-class coaches like Ancelotti, Pasletti is also quite good.

When the latter was in Rome, there was a shortage of strikers. As a result, he didn't know what to do and came up with a striker-less tactic.

In Yang Huan's opinion, among the Italian head coaches, Lippi, Capello and Ancelotti are considered to be at the highest level, while Mancini, Mazzarri, Prandelli, Pasletti, Conte, Allegri and other coaches are one level lower.

The abilities of those players in the second level are not much different, and they all have advantages and disadvantages. However, they may be influenced and restricted by the team, so they are inevitably criticized sometimes.

Therefore, Yang Huan believed that Mazari should not be much worse.

At least judging from Napoli's coaching situation, if he is given enough trust and resources, he will be able to achieve matching results.

And judging from the fact that he has trained players such as Cavani and Hamsik, Mazzarri's ability as a player is also quite high.

But to be cautious, Yang Huan asked Moratti again, and the latter also spoke highly of Mazzarri.

Are you kidding? This head coach was selected by Moratti himself. How can you say he is bad?

Finally, we had afternoon tea, which lasted for more than an hour.

Before the reporters came to their door, Moratti and his son had to hurry back to discuss things with their family and team, so they apologized and left first.

After watching Morati and his son leave, Yang Huan smiled slightly, took out his cell phone, found Zhao Yuanfang's number and called him.

"Yuan Fang, you can go and do what I told you to do!"
