Chapter 925 How come another goal was scored?

It should be said that before the game everyone felt that the Europa League final would be a fierce battle.

Because Inter Milan won the Serie A championship and qualified for the Champions League, while Sevilla was fifth in La Liga. Only by winning the Europa League can they qualify for the Champions League, so Sevilla has no reason not to fight hard.

But in fact, Sevilla tried their best, but to no avail.

Inter Milan took the lead 2-0 early in the first half thanks to goals from Aubameyang and De Bruyne.

After that, Sevilla fell into an embarrassing situation.

I wanted to attack, try to equalize the score and turn the situation around, but I was worried about being counterattacked from behind.

The presence of Aubameyang and Morata has always been like a thorn in Sevilla's defense, constantly reminding them to be careful behind them, because if they get too forward, they will counterattack.

In the end, Sevilla could no longer do anything to Inter Milan.

But this does not mean that Sevilla has no power to fight back.

In the second half, Emery decisively adjusted the tactics and switched to defensive counterattacks, and soon created several threats.

Among them, Bacca got a very good scoring opportunity in the penalty area, but Handanovic just tipped the ball over the crossbar, which made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

Yang Huan sat in the stands and shook his head, "We are still weak in controlling the rhythm!"

"Yes, it's okay in the Europa League, but next season we have to play in the Champions League. If we continue with this aggressive tactic, we will easily suffer losses." Blanca nodded.

The Champions League and the Europa League are two completely different levels, just like the difference between the Championship and the Premier League. The difficulty is completely different. Even if Inter Milan plays well in the Europa League, it will still be doomed in the Champions League.

"Klopp also mentioned this problem to me. When he was in Dortmund, although he also adopted this kind of offensive tactics, he also had rhythm control masters like Sahin and Gundogan. But we don't have such players at all now!"

De Bruyne is the core of the offense. His personal ability is indeed quite outstanding, but he can't control the rhythm.

Therefore, in many cases, for the sake of safety, Klopp will choose to arrange Blind to play in midfield and control the rhythm.

But he is still okay in Serie A and the Europa League, but once he reaches the Champions League, Blind may find it difficult to cope.

"Yes, so we must strengthen the recruitment in this position this summer!" Yang Huan said with certainty.

Someone once said that the 100-year history of football development is actually a history of how to strengthen midfield control.

Yang Huan didn’t know whether this sentence was right or not, but he could feel very clearly that in recent years, Europe’s emphasis on midfield controlling players has reached a very high level.

Because there is an extreme shortage of controlling midfielders, and it can even be said that they are out of stock.

When one team finally emerged, the other teams immediately rushed forward.

It can be said that the strength of the midfield has become a key factor in measuring the strength of a team.

For example, Barcelona, ​​isn’t their strength built on an unrivalled midfield?

There are also Southampton, Bayern Munich, and even Real Madrid. The midfields of these teams are quite outstanding, which has created their strong dominance on the football field.

Looking at Inter Milan, their midfield is indeed very strong, but their control is relatively weak.

Especially after the team decided to sell De Bruyne this summer, the midfield control will be even weaker.

Therefore, introducing strong midfield reinforcements has become a task that Inter Milan must complete as soon as possible this summer.

"How's the matter I asked you to do going?"

Yang Huan had previously asked Blanca to test the opposing players' willingness, hoping to introduce a European-level organizing midfielder.

"They are still considering it and don't seem to have much interest. However, I have contacted the player and he is quite interested."

Blanca's words made Yang Huan nod his head, "Then just stop talking and use the termination clause to buy out the contract!"

"Buy out the contract?" Blanca was a little surprised.

"Master Huan, the penalty is 30 million euros!"

Inter Milan's technical director was trembling a little while speaking.

How long has it been since Inter Milan made such a big deal?

Even in the history of Inter Milan, there are not many players who can reach this level. The only two famous players who can be remembered immediately are Crespo and Vieri.

Even Ibrahimovic, who jumped from Juventus, only got 25 million euros.

Is it worth spending 30 million euros for a midfielder?

Yang Huan looked at Blanca again, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's worth it, of course it's worth it!"

After a pause, Yang Huan explained: "You know how popular high-quality players are in European football nowadays. Players' prices are rising rapidly, especially midfielders with strong control ability, who are in short supply."

Blanca nodded. If not, De Bruyne would not be sold at such a high price.

"In this environment, do you think 30 million euros is too much?"

It’s really hard to describe Blanca.

Whether 30 million euros is a lot or not depends on the situation.

If we look at it from the perspective of the entire European football scene, a transfer fee of 30 million euros is really not a lot.

Of course, there are not many teams that can afford a transfer fee of 30 million euros.

In Serie A, 30 million euros is a sky-high price!

There is no way. Who made Italy's economy so depressed in recent years and Serie A so sluggish?

Yang Huan smiled again, "Marco, I tell you, Pirlo won't be able to hold on for long. Juventus is already showing signs of fatigue. They are looking all over the world for Pirlo's successor, but I can guarantee that it will be difficult for them to succeed!"

Juventus' transfer strategy in recent years has focused on cost-effectiveness. They failed to qualify from the group stage of the Champions League this year. Although they still made a lot of money from bonuses, Juventus did not dare to invest heavily in the transfer market.

Is it really that cheap to introduce a midfielder who can replace Pirlo without investing much money?

If there were, teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and others would have rushed forward and divided it up. Would it still be Juventus' turn?

After all, in the transfer market, you get what you pay for!

"Juventus' midfield is now supported by Pirlo. Without Pirlo, they will definitely be in turmoil. This is our strategic opportunity period. As long as we seize the opportunity, we will be able to return to the top of Serie A!"

Needless to say, Blanca knows very well how many benefits there are to becoming a top team in a league.

Inter Milan was able to regain the Serie A title this season thanks to the huge investment of more than 100 million euros made by Master Huan.

By selling players such as De Bruyne and Blind, Inter Milan can recover a large sum of money, but if it cannot use this money to reinvest in the team and enhance the team's competitiveness, then Blanca will definitely have to go.

According to the plan previously drawn up by Yang Huan and Klopp, there is no major problem with the front attacking lineup. As for De Bruyne's position, with Dybala already in place and introducing Jovetic from Manchester City, there will be no problem either.

On the defensive line, although Blind is gone, Juanito, Rugani and Romagnoli are all capable of taking on the task.

Therefore, Inter Milan's most important problem now is organizing the midfield.

Yang Huan thought about it and suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, aren’t they interested in Salah?”

"Yes!" Blanca nodded.

However, the team is also optimistic about Salah, so Salah has never been considered for transfer.

"Then tell them that 20 million euros plus Salah should be agreed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more trouble!"

If by any chance Juventus gets angry and spends all their money to snatch the player from us, we will be in trouble.

Blanca pondered for a moment, "Master Huan, Salah's current market value is 15 million euros, this..."

"It's worth it in exchange for a friendship!" Yang Huan smiled proudly.

He never likes to force transactions when arranging transfers. He believes in mutual consent and would rather spend more money than damage the friendship between the two parties.

If using a Salah can save a lot of trouble, that would be good.

Besides, we are all in the European football arena, we will see each other every day, and sooner or later we will have to do business, right?

"Then the front side..." Blanca reminded again.

The frontcourt seems strong now, but there are not many real wingers.

Aubameyang is now playing more in the middle, and Dybala is likely to replace De Bruyne and appear in the attacking midfielder position, leaving Felipe Anderson on the wing.

Although Morata and Aubameyang can play, it is still not enough.

After hearing this, Yang Huan laughed and said, "Isn't Chelsea's Cuadrado going to be sold?"

"Yes, that's right. Cuadrado's agent sent a fax before. It is said that Chelsea is asking for 20 million euros."

"Then buy it!" Yang Huan laughed.

Barcelona is not interested in Cuadrado, but Inter Milan is not so arrogant.

It is quite pleasant to follow these wealthy teams and pick up some spoils.

Besides, Cuadrado is a capable player, but he is not very adaptable to the Premier League and Mourinho's tactics. In addition, his performance is not ideal and he has lost some confidence, which has led to his increasingly depressed performance.

But Serie A is the place where he rose to prominence, so he should have a very good performance after returning to Serie A.

When Blanca heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. This was a good idea. Why didn't she think of it before?

Aubameyang, Morata, Pelle, Felipe Anderson, Dybala and Jovetic. If Cuadrado is added, Inter Milan's attacking lineup in the new season will be strong enough.

Even in the European league, apart from those top giants, who can be as luxurious as Inter Milan?

but……

"Master Huan, if that's the case, the team's salary structure..."

The team has performed well this season, so player contract renewal and salary increase are definitely on the agenda.

If Inter Milan introduces so many more stars, its salary will definitely increase further, and it may even catch up with Juventus.

"It's okay. No matter how much it increases, can it be as much as it was two years ago? But look at the current lineup, how does it compare to the team of old, weak and sick people two years ago?" Yang Huan said with a playful smile.

Blanca understood, too.

Even if Inter Milan's current salaries have caught up with the level when Master Huan just took over the team, the current lineup is much more competitive than it was then. At least the Serie A and Europa League titles are not exaggerated.

With this lineup, if it were put into the Champions League, it would at least be able to qualify for the group stage.

Therefore, this deal is still worth doing.

"Master Huan, I understand. I will return to Italy right after the game. I will do it immediately!"

Yang Huan nodded and said nothing more.

These matters can be left to his subordinates, and as a boss, he can just talk big.

If he really has to do everything himself, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?

But just when Yang Huan turned his attention back to the court, he was shocked when he looked at the scoreboard.

"Damn, how come there's another goal? When did it happen?"

He didn't even notice!
