In a villa on the shore of Lake Como, the beef airlifted from Argentina on the barbecue rack in the courtyard was cooked. The hostess Paula flipped over the meat on it and looked at the two men chatting on the steps in front of the room.

"You think..."

"You think..."

The two men almost spoke the same beginning in unison.

Master Yang raised his hand and signaled: "You'd better tell me first~"

Zanetti smiled pursed his lips and said in full the sentence just now: "Do you think we still have a chance to win the European championship?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I come here?"

"To be honest..." Sanetti looked down as if he was considering the words, "As the captain, I don't believe it..."

Master Yang nodded and did not make any more refutations.

Como is not far from Milan, about forty kilometers. Zanetti settled her home here, not only because Como's environment is very beautiful, but also because it is closer to Inter Milan's training base. Since coming to Inter Milan in 1995, Zanetti has formed an indissoluble bond with this team.

"When I first came to the team, it was not smooth. The problem of adaptation, the problem of team performance, we had Carlos, Bergomi, and Ronnie at that time... It's actually not bad now, but there was a problem that has always bothered us." Zanetti continued, his eyes turned to the lake not far away, as if the words just now were just a confession to nature.

"What bothers us is a mentality and a spirit. Over the years, many coaches have not brought this to us. So, I am very moved by the result you said - but I don't believe it."

Sanetti's words were very straightforward and realistic. Few players and coaches could talk about this level so openly. This may be attributed to something called "eye fate". The day after Master Yang and Mancini handed over, Sanetti sent an invitation to Master Yang, hoping that Master Yang could come to his home. According to common sense, it was a good start for the two of them to have a harmonious conversation in the club's office for an hour or two. There is no doubt that this high-standard reception method represents Sanetti's recognition of Master Yang. Sanetti is looking forward to Master Yang bringing some different things to Inter Milan.

"This is indeed a very difficult thing. Herrera, Trapatoni, Lippi, Zacheroni... These are all great gods." Master Yang also looked at the lake and said to himself, with a little helplessness in his tone.

Sanetti looked at Master Yang, as if waiting for the following text. As a result, after waiting for a long time, Master Yang didn't say anything. This guy was stimulated by himself and had no confidence? No way? Sanetti rolled his eyes in his heart. Why would such a coach mention winning the Champions League?

Just when Sanetti felt a little "the moon shines on the ditch", Mr. Yang suddenly said: "There will be a youth team game next, I want you to come and have a look and encourage those little guys."

The youth team game?

"Yes, it's the European Youth Champions League." Mr. Yang nodded, "You can bring a few more people, but you have to say hello in advance. Tickets will definitely be very popular, so I can let the club arrange them."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On March 1, Inter Milan's press room was once again crowded. The crowded scene was even worse than the last time. The sweat on the head of the news director Piki could have been called the falls sweat last time, but this time it was completely "Genghis Khan". He was still the same Chinese, but the club's representative was replaced by Paulillo to Morati, and captain Zanetti replaced Caldillola and sat on the other side.

"Coach Yang, congratulations, your dream comes true!" The first person to be called by Piki was a reporter from BBC, Wan Cheng Ruolan. Someone whistled in the venue, and the story of "Master Yang and the Female Reporter" continued its relationship in romantic Italy. Amid the whistle, Wan Cheng Ruolan asked: "Please tell me what you plan next."

Since Wan Cheng Ruolan returned to the Olympics, she has been in a looming state. Sometimes there are emails and sometimes there are phone calls, but Master Yang feels that their relationship seems to have become much distant. However, no matter what, whether Wan Cheng Ruolan is in espn or bbc, she is the person that Master Yang trusts the most.

"Thank you very much for everyone's visit. Being the head coach of the first team, this moment is a dream come true. There are many things to do next. To be honest, I haven't figured out where to start. However, from long-term experience, winning the next game is the most important thing at the moment." Mr. Yang's words sounded like he was very nutritious, and he was no longer a young boy. As he had shown his sharpness in Valleheim or Newcastle before, he may appear less and less on Mr. Yang. Mature and steady, this is the price of growing up.

Morati continued: "Also, Mr. Yang will still serve as the head coach of the youth team until the end of this season."

Morati's words were like throwing a bomb into a cesspool, and the reporters were in an uproar. Morati has not played according to common sense since he was involved in this Chinese coach. Could it be that the person who is close to the ink is black?

"Why? Will this not affect the first team's game?"

"This is what I and the Chairman specifically applied for. Because the youth team still have several important games. Our promising great men in China have said: The world belongs to yours and ours, but ultimately the young people. I want to let everyone in Inter Milan understand from now on that the club belongs to players like Zanetti, but ultimately the young people. The future of the club belongs to them. I think Chairman Moratti also agrees with this view."

Speaking of this, Morati nodded in cooperation.

Sanetti nodded as well.

"Coach Yang, do you mean that there will be a major blood exchange operation next. Many people on the team will leave and let the young people take the lead?"

"Have I said this? Mr. reporter should not be honest. Now the team players will have a full opportunity to show their strength. As long as they can perform at the best level, I won't mind whether he is 16 or 36 years old. I really hope there are 11 players like Zanetti, so that Mr. Chairman will not have to spend any transfer fees within ten years, because they can play until they are 46 years old."

There was a knowing laughter in the venue. Zanetti is 36 years old this year, ensuring a good competitive state. He can be competent in any position except goalkeeper on the court. With such 11 players, Moratti doesn't have to worry.

The discordant question sounded again: "Mr. Chairman, does this mean that the club's recruitment attitude will be adjusted and no big-name players will join?"

Morati frowned. This kind of question was just asking a rich man if he would no longer eat bird's nest shark fin in the future. "I will still fully support the head coach's work. Coach Yang can choose any player he needs this summer."

Applause rang out.

"Thanks to Mr. Chairman for his trust. I will have an in-depth discussion with my colleagues at the club. I am not a big star player. I only care which player is more suitable. What's more, the club's lineup is now luxurious enough. Didn't someone say that even a fan can win the championship with Inter Milan?"

"Are you mocking your ex, Mr. Mancini?"

"I haven't finished it yet. It's really inappropriate to be a reporter with such understanding. Coach Mancini is a respectable person. We cannot deny his contribution to the club because of a defeat or two. I'm lucky to be replaced and complete the tasks he didn't complete. But when I won the championship, I think I'll call Mr. Mancini."

“What do you say when you call?”

"Ask him the address and send him the medal to express. Because the medal is part of him."

"Are you so sure you will win the championship?"

"Well, in fact, I won a lot of championships and runner-ups. I will work hard."

"I heard you once said in the youth team that a formation like 4222 is the most suitable for the team. Will you change the team's existing style of playing?"

"Whoever you hear me say, then ask whom? Haha." Yang Shiyou was like a fish.

"Do you have a chance of winning in the next Champions League?"

“I will do my best to win the game.”

...

Another long and unconventional press conference. After the press conference, Morati Zanetti greeted Master Yang and flashed early. Before leaving, the old man did not forget to pat Master Yang on the shoulder, which was quite a bit like a loner.

Two "grand and gracious" press conferences allowed Mr. Yang to fully experience the Italian media culture. In the past, media in England also asked tricky questions, but it seems that journalists are more concerned about lace and gimmick non-sports information. For example, who has given birth to a player, which player is the future star, etc. In Italy, journalists are more interested in the team's combat plan, platooning and other professional fields, and they also like to point fingers - in short, Italy's "Dong Qiudi" is much more than England's.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yang Shishi, who became the head coach of Inter Milan, naturally received unreserved support from Chinese fans. The number of fans in Inter Milan has increased significantly, and fans who had previously fans of Newcastle immediately became popular in Italy and became a brainless fan of Inter Milan. The more headache is that fans who are loyal to AC Milan, I believe they will become more entangled in the Milan derby.

Mr. Yang posted an invitation message on his blog: "I hope everyone can come to Switzerland to cheer for Inter Milan's youth army." The messages behind the blog continued to rise after this, and instantly exceeded 100,000.

On March 4, Nyon, Switzerland, the UEFA President Beckenbauer and his old friend Johnson. Today, Johnson has become the honorary chairman of UEFA, and the trophy of the European Youth Champions League is named after him.

"I didn't expect there would be so many people." Johnson sighed.

"If you guessed correctly, this should be the influence of that Chinese." Beckenbauer said.

"Such influence?"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true. If the game place was replaced by England, there might be more." Looking along with Beckenbauer's gaze, the attendance rate of this stadium, which can only accommodate 12,000 people, reached 70,000 or 80%. Most of them were yellow-skinned and dark-eyed waving the Chinese flag. Those who didn't know thought it was a Chinese team game. Before that, Beckenbauer didn't dare to think that so many people could come.

"Do you remember the bet we made before?" Beckenbauer turned around and smiled: "The reason why I can be here is thanks to this Chinese coach."

A neat square sits in a corner of the stands, with hundreds of childish teenagers wearing uniform white sportswear sitting there, the teenagers of the European branch of the Lion Dance Football School. They gathered here from different branches in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, and even England. Among these children, the vast majority are Chinese children, but there are also African, South American, and Latin American children among them.

At this time, the camera on the stadium seemed to have received news, pointing the camera at one of the private rooms. Several familiar faces appeared in the camera, including Inter Milan President Moratti and Barcelona President Laporta. As soon as the camera turned, the people in the other private rooms also surprised everyone - almost all Inter Milan players led by captain Zanetti were present.

This is too grand. Audiences all over the world couldn't help but sigh.

In the locker room, Inter Milan youth army with anticipation on their faces heard their head coach say calmly: "Listen, boys, we are the champions!"
Chapter completed!
