Star Coach

Before the winter break, Jiangshan's team remained undefeated in the league, but the points gap with Inter Milan did not narrow.

It can only be said that other teams are too weak and cannot stop the crazy Inter Milan. In fact, Inter Milan's midfielders are mostly engineers and are not very creative. They will not go very far in the Champions League, but in Serie A, they can already sweep other teams.

Serie A is really in decline.

Other teams can rest, but Milan cannot. They still have another championship to compete for in 2006, the Club World Cup in Japan.

After the Club World Cup was renamed in 2005, it has been held continuously in Japan and its influence has gradually expanded. The key is that there are many bonuses, nearly 5 million euros in rewards, which is very attractive to poor teams like Milan.

In the contract signed between Jiangshan and Milan, there are rewards for any champion. The Champions League has the most, followed by the league, and competitions such as the Italian Super Cup the least. The main reason is that the value of the trophy is not high.

He can get a bonus of 500,000 euros in the Club World Cup, which is almost the price of a house in the domestic capital. He is already preparing to cash out most of the houses in the country. He now controls the shares of several Premier League teams, not many, and the share is well controlled, within 9.9%.

If it exceeds 10%, according to English law, a statement must be made as to whether there is an intention to acquire it. He doesn’t have enough capital yet, let alone the right time to enter the market, so he is still waiting.

Tottenham and Manchester City are among the options. Of course, buying these two teams is very difficult. Manchester City is also being targeted by tycoons in the Middle East. One can imagine how powerful the competitors he faces are.

Jiang Shan has no interest in Manchester City. To rise in the shadow of Manchester United, the money invested is more than he can bear. Controlling a small part of Manchester City's authority can still be acquired and extorted.

His goal is the teams in London. There are many teams in London. Now Chelsea and Arsenal are regulars in the Champions League and even have the possibility of winning the Champions League. However, it is a pity that no team in London has won the Champions League yet.

It is conceivable that as long as you lead the team to win the Champions League, the team's influence in London will increase a lot. Not to mention becoming the most famous team in London, how can it be a wealthy team?

After communicating with several operators, Jiang Shan returned to the team's game. Lead the team to Japan.

He originally wanted the injured to stay in Milanello, but unfortunately they all wanted to go to Japan with them. They said it was a critical moment and they must be with the team. He didn't know what they wanted to do.

In desperation, Jiangshan had no choice but to drag all the players to Japan to participate in the 2006 Club World Cup.

A lifetime ago, this year's Club World Cup championship was snatched away by Internazionale. Barcelona was disappointing in the final and was directly blocked by Internazionale. It was a rare scene where the Champions League champion could not win the Club World Cup.

According to the format of the Club World Cup, the Champions League champion and the South American Copa Libertadores champion start from the semi-finals. In other words, AC Milan and Internazionale do not have the time to compete yet. Jiangshan's team arrived in Japan early, and he followed the players' inner thoughts and gave them a day off.

Ronaldinho was the most excited to let them have a good exchange of feelings with Japanese women. He had been waiting for a long time and just took the opportunity to have a good time. Even Ronaldo, who has not yet returned from injury, is following him, and he wants to let himself go.

It's a pity that Kaka is very well-behaved and doesn't dare to mess around, so he stays quietly in the hotel. Otherwise, with his influence, countless Japanese women would follow him to Guangmu on the streets of Japan.

The same is true for Jiangshan. Jiangshan has great influence and has a large number of fans in Japan. Japanese fans can't figure out why China, a country with such poor football, can produce a legend like Jiangshan.

Many Japanese women want to borrow his coaching ability, which is the seed of a genius. How many people want it? Less than that.

Jiang Shan has many friends in Japan, so naturally he will not let go of the opportunity. He is not a player, so hooking up in a nightclub is boring. It would be more fun to be a celebrity.

The first knockout round is between four teams. They are the Oceania champions Auckland City from New Zealand. Oceania has not yet been integrated into the AFC Champions League at this time, and there are still competitions.

They will face the African champions Al Ahli, a team from Egypt; and the Central American and Caribbean champions, Team America from Mexico, will face the AFC Champions League champions. Last season's Asian champion was Jeonbuk Hyundai. Jeonbuk Hyundai shouted the slogan before the game to reach the semi-finals.

Then in the first game, he was knocked to the ground by Team America and couldn't get up. They can only compete with Oakland City, who also lost, for fifth place.

Two new teams were added in the semi-finals, Al Ahli faced Internacional and America faced AC Milan.

Jiangshan didn't pay much attention to this game. The main layout person was Simeone, and the game process was equally uneventful. Nesta did not play, and the team defeated the American team with a score of 4:0.

Inzaghi scored twice, but his muscles tightened after the game and he was unable to play in the final. Thomason also scored a goal, and the other was Zambrotta as the icing on the cake, and the iron tree blossomed.

On the other side, Brazil Internacional relied on the goals of young Pato and Fernando to defeat Al Ahli 2:1 and meet AC Milan in the Club World Cup final.

After winning the semi-final, Simeone was very proud, "It seems that I can control a team. Next season, I should go out and work alone."

"Next season, I will recommend you to become the head coach of Milan. Do you have any opinions?" Jiang Shan smiled. "Next season, I will definitely leave AC Milan and look for new challenges."

Simeone stared at Jiangshan, "A new challenge? I feel there is hope for the Champions League this season. You can become the first head coach to defend the Champions League after the reform. And can you strive for the Champions League three times in a row next season? Last time in Monaco, you missed the opportunity. This time, you shouldn't miss it."

"It's a great fortune to meet a mature team. You don't want it?"

Jiangshan still smiled and looked at the court, "I like bigger challenges. The competitiveness of Serie A is weakening. It suits you, but not me. I want bigger challenges."

"Besides, I have also agreed with Beto that I will leave next season. Of course, the premise is to help Milan win a few championships. The league is not guaranteed, and the Champions League is not guaranteed. It depends on whether you can win the Italian Cup."

"Me?"

"As long as you win the Italian Cup, it won't be a big problem to be the head coach of Milan next season." Jiangshan patted Simeone's shoulder, "Since you stay and continue to help me this season, I decided to support you to be the head coach of Milan. This is a good opportunity. The starting point is a top giant. Don't mess it up."

Simeone was stunned by the sudden happiness. Is Jiangshan so cruel? Recommend a new player to be the head coach of Milan?

"It's good that you know about this matter. I don't want the team to be in chaos. Our season has just begun."
