Chapter 869: Top Three Transfers

This summer, Juventus has the highest score in the Italian Super League transfer market. Last season, Milan had the highest score. Milan scored eight points at that time, while Juventus scored 7.5 points in the new season. However, this score cannot be a reason for the team to achieve good results in the new season. For example, Juventus' score was not bad last season, but they only ranked eighth and did not even get a European Cup seat.

In the new season, they are the team with the highest net investment in the Italian Super League transfer market. This is their norm in the past few seasons. They have been investing money and rebuilding every year, but they have been pushed back every year. Agnelli is very distressed. He once asked Hugo about this matter, why Juventus is like this.

Hugo said a few things. First, your lineup is aging. The real superstar-level players are old. They are no longer the superstars of the past. Their role in the team is very limited. To put it bluntly, your team has become civilian-like and is far behind Trapani. Second, you have not found a coach who is suitable for this team and can bring the players together. The team is a complex environment. The head coach is very important. Ferrara is a newcomer, but his tactical experience is obviously insufficient. Facts have proved that he is not a genius coach like Guardiola and Mourinho. Then Del Neri can't control the locker room and also has his own tactical flaws.

Of course, Hugo also said that even if Wenger takes office now, Juventus may not have a good change.

Agnelli and Marotta are much more pragmatic this season. There are no more transfers of more than 20 million. They are all small-scale transfers of less than 15 million, mainly introducing practical players. Agnelli revealed to Hugo that Juventus' goal in the new season is to compete for the Champions League zone, and competing for the championship is not what they consider.

This idea is quite correct. It is already very good to be able to get the fourth place. After all, they have changed their coach again. The new coach is Conte from Juventus. After being tempered by Bari and other teams, this captain finally got the call of his mother team. Juventus also spent a lot of effort in selecting coaches.

Agnelli himself admitted that the previous board of directors was very stupid and offended Deschamps, who followed the team through the difficulties wholeheartedly. That was the biggest failure. Then during the treble period, the previous board of directors did not give Ranieri enough time and confidence, because two consecutive championship coaches left Juventus. Later, it was even more difficult for them to find a famous coach to coach.

Juventus has been regarded as a pit by everyone. Famous coaches also have to cherish their feathers, so the head coaches invited later were not very good. Ferrara, their own man, was a fool and had no ability. In the end, they had to go back to the way of inviting Juventus bloodline coaches.

Gasperini and Conte are both options. Both of them are coaches of Juventus descent. Agnelli finally chose the younger Conte. Conte is very familiar with the team's big men Buffon and Piero. They used to be teammates together, which is convenient for them to control the locker room.

Pirlo, Vidal, Quarearella, and Lichtsteiner are several important signings this season. They have strengthened the midfield, defenders and forwards respectively. Pirlo's free transfer from Milan to Juventus is the most eye-catching transfer in the Italian Super League this summer. Pirlo is an organizing midfielder. His arrival means that Juventus will have earth-shaking changes in technology and tactics. Conte's first task is to make good use of Pirlo and let him play a role. In the star-studded Milan, Pirlo was a serious brain.

Milan also did not make any moves this summer. Berlusconi successfully "stepped down" from the position of prime minister. The sex scandal had a very significant impact on him and his family. Berlusconi himself was greatly affected mentally. The most important stimulus was that he had a deep loss of returning to politics again. His current situation really made it difficult to see the day when he would return to politics in the future.

The procuratorate has already prosecuted him. Because of his inner disappointment, Berlusconi naturally could not care so much about Milan. Even though the pie that Hugo had drawn for him was gradually being realized, he had no political demands now, so naturally he was no longer as concerned about Milan as before. Milan has been his business card for so many years. It is no exaggeration to say that Milan has won a lot of votes for him.

In this context, even if Galliani has the ability to reach the sky, there is no way to make a big move in the transfer market. Their expenditures are basically some follow-up of the previous year, such as buying out Ibrahimovic, Boateng and others. The only thing worth noting is that they spent 500,000 euros to introduce Nocerino from Palermo.

On the contrary, in order to achieve a balance between income and expenditure, Galliani made a lot of cuts to the team. Their net investment in the transfer market throughout the summer was only a few million, which was actually not much different from Trapani. So it is fortunate that they only got 5 points in the transfer score for the new season, just like Trapani, ranking last.

Allegri's performance in leading Milan last season was actually very good, but it was a pity that they met Trapani, which was in its heyday, which made their efforts come to naught, but Allegri's position as coach was very stable, and Galliani trusted him very much.

Inter Milan fell into turmoil after Mourinho left. Whoever replaced him would not work. Last season, their points gap with Trapani was not ordinary, but at least they qualified for the Champions League, but their fate was not very good, and the grouping was not ideal.

The coach who led Inter Milan in the new season is a Juventus-born coach, Gasperini. His outstanding performance in Genoa attracted the attention of his former clubs Juventus and Inter Milan. Juventus finally chose Conte, while Gasperini came to Inter Milan.

In the more than ten years that Moratti was in charge of Inter Milan, his transfer operation mode has been criticized by the outside world, because he always spared no expense to recruit big-name stars, but after these stars came, it was difficult for them to achieve glory in Inter Milan, so they also put on the cloak of star black holes. However, in the past two years, Moratti has learned his lesson. Together with Blanca, the club's transfer director, he has created a more practical transfer model, that is, they no longer spend money indiscriminately, but have learned to make money. In the summer of the previous year, they exchanged Ibrahimovic for Eto'o, which made Barcelona lose a lot of money. This summer, Inter Milan's transfer action is not big. Harja and others do not intend to exercise the right of first refusal, so they returned it to Genoa. Of course, Eto'o's departure still has a great impact on Inter Milan's strength. After all, he was the team's top scorer last season. For Inter Milan, the biggest benefit of Eto'o's departure is that it saves them a lot of money, not only the transfer fee, but also his annual salary is a huge number. Pandev's departure also saved the team some money. In terms of signings, goalkeeper Viviano, Argentine midfielder Alvarez and Brazilian defender Jonathan, who arrived earlier, are the team's potential stocks. And Poli, Fran and Sarat, who arrived later, are all Inter Milan's most noteworthy players in the new season. They are also the most important part of Inter Milan's reconstruction.

This summer, three teams are doing a risky thing, that is, reconstruction. Trapani's reconstruction is better. After all, their players are of higher quality and stronger ability. In fact, the time in the team is not short at all, but Inter Milan and Juventus' reconstruction is different. They are all wantonly changing dynasties, from head coach to players, and the test they need to accept is greater.

If the reconstruction is successful, the team will be one step closer to restoring its past glory. If it is unsuccessful, it will be a waste of money and they will have to start all over again next season.
