Chapter 77 TIM Cup

Zhang Yuan shook his head to indicate that he did not.

"No way, I thought you already had a commercial endorsement!" Qian Huan held back his mouth. He saw that Zhang Yuan was very popular in China recently, and there should be some companies that would seek out Zhang Yuan as an endorsement, but he didn't know.But when he rolled his eyes, he had an idea. If you are close to the water, you will get the moon first. If you don’t look for other companies, your company should look for it. Zhang Yuan has entered a wealthy family and has a bright future in Qian Huan’s eyes. Why not rely on the personal relationship between the two? Looking for Zhang Yuan to represent it.

"Look at Zhang Yuan, we two don't beat around the bush anymore, how about I plan to ask you to represent our company? Our group has a joint venture with an American auto group in a car company, and it will be launched next year. I think I can invite you To endorse this car, what do you think?"

Before Zhang Yuan could answer, Mai Xuewen hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, Master Huan, how about the endorsement fee?" The relationship between the second generation is very good, and they speak directly.

"Haha, I really can't make up my mind about this, it depends on what my dad means, but endorsement should be fine!" Qian Huan replied indifferently.

"This." Zhang Yuan hesitated, he felt as if he had taken advantage of Qian Huan.

"Why? Don't want to?" Qian Huan joked.

"No, of course I would, but is this okay?" Zhang Yuan shook his head and asked.

"Hey, then it's fine. This matter is also a win-win situation. You can earn endorsement fees, and we also need you to help expand our popularity! There is nothing wrong with it." Qian Huan explained.

"Oh, okay! Brother Huan!"

Unexpectedly, the first commercial contract came from the introduction of Qian Huan. It happened just in time, because soon there will be domestic companies looking for it. If Qian Huan didn't make a special trip to see Zhang Yuan, it would not be the first one.

In the evening, Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen sent Qian Huan back to the hotel. Naturally, Zhang Yuan treated them to dinner. Tomorrow, Qian Huan was going to fly back to China, so they went to see him off together.

The next day, Inter Milan gathered for training again, this time in the Pinettina base, and it was another closed training, which meant that everyone lived in the base, Zhang Yuan was no exception even if he lived in this small town , must live in the base.

Except for the injured players, the rest of the Inter Milan players have come, and the players who participated in the America's Cup have also returned. Inter Milan's striker candidates are too bloated, so someone must leave. It is rumored that Recoba is leaving, and Zhang Yuanzao I knew that Recoba was leaving. After all, he was an insider. Even if he was ignorant, he would usually hear private discussions from his teammates. Recoba is gone, and there are still Ibrahimovic and Adrian on the front line. Jarno, Crespo, Cruz, Suyaso, Zhang Yuan, and Balotelli are 7 people. Even if Balotelli returns to the youth team, the competition will still be fierce. Zhang Yuan does not know whether Mancini wants to stay in Balotelli. Lotli, but instead of letting Balotelli play as a striker, he wants Balotelli to play as a midfielder. Zhang Yuan's pass is not as good as Balotelli's. Mancini will not let Zhang Yuan play this position.

Zhang Yuan still lives in the same room as Balotelli, but their relationship is much more harmonious now, and there will be no cold war like before, but it is definitely not good.

The time turns to August 8 (Tuesday), Inter Milan will participate in the 14th TIM Cup triangle match at the Meazza (San Siro) Stadium, against AC Milan and Juventus.

The first game was Inter Milan against Juventus. In just a few days, the two teams played against each other again. Mancini continued to form a 4312 formation, Balotelli played as a midfielder, Adriano and Kroos As a result, the striker pair failed very well. One is that they are both forwards who need the support of their teammates. Adriano was a tank at his peak and could crush any opponent, but now his state has declined. Powerful, it has transformed into needing support from teammates just like Cruise; the second is that the passing ability of two people is not as good as that of an organizer. They are not the type of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Two people are called twin towers on the field. Raiders.

As a result, Juventus completely suppressed Inter Milan in this game. Juventus created many opportunities throughout the 45 minutes, while Inter Milan had very few opportunities. Although the final score was 0:0, it seems reasonable for Juventus to win.There was no overtime in the triangle match and the penalty shootout started directly. In the penalty shootout, Inter Milan won 5:4, so Inter Milan won the first game.

The second game is Juventus vs. AC Milan. AC Milan has not changed much this season. On the contrary, it has produced a lot. Many players have been loaned out. Zhang Yuan’s friend Digan was left behind. It is estimated that it was the second half of last season. Duan Digan's performance in Rimini impressed the AC Milan club.Another friend, Matri, failed to stay and moved to Cagliari, which is also a Serie A team.Handanovic played the main goalkeeper in Udinese, and the four friends really came true and met in Serie A.

Everyone played equally well in this game. Juventus created a little more chances, but AC Milan won. In the 26th minute, Pirlo delivered the ball from the middle. From 15 meters, he scored with his right foot in the lower right corner, which was also the only goal of the game.

The third match was between Inter Milan and AC Milan. Before the players of both sides officially entered the field, the substitute players went out first. After Zhang Yuan went out, he stood in front of the Inter Milan bench and looked at the AC Milan bench. Sure enough, he saw Digan, Digan I was joking with my teammates, but I saw Zhang Yuan when I turned my head, so the two laughed at the same time, and walked towards each other at the same time.

"Haha, boy, let's meet again, come to Milan and come to play with me?!" Digan held Zhang Yuan's hand, and the right shoulders of the two hit hard.

"I don't always participate in training. After finishing my own affairs, I immediately went to participate in the training camp. How can I have time? Besides, you are not in Milan!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile. Degan will also participate in AC Milan's training camp. No time either.

"Okay, I'm just joking with you, let's play together when the time is free!" Digan said with a smile.

The two chatted for a few words and agreed to hang out together next time, then separated, and the Milan Derby began immediately.

In this game, Mancini sent a combination of Crespo and Recoba. Recoba is about to leave. I don’t know why Mancini still sent him on the field. I guess he wanted Recoba to give the game to the field. Say goodbye to the Inter Milan fans, and Balotelli will play in the midfielder position.

After the adjustment of Inter Milan's personnel in this game, the situation improved a lot. They repeatedly created murderous intentions in front of AC Milan. In the 28th minute, Recoba made a direct pass from the middle, Crespo knocked back, and Recoba made a slight adjustment with the ball. 22 meters in front of the goal, the left-footed curve ball hangs in the upper right corner.With this goal, Inter Milan finally defeated AC Milan 1:0 and won the TIM Cup with two wins in two games.

When Recoba left the field, he waved to the fans in the stands. Inter Milan fans collectively thought of the applause and Recoba's name. Zhang Yuan clearly saw tears in Recoba's eyes.

It is really not easy to say goodbye to Inter Milan. Recoba used to be the highest paid in Serie A. Of course, Moratti did this, but Recoba later took the initiative to cut his salary in order to stay at Inter Milan. He even joked that he was willing to accept 10 lire annual salary.

These are useless, Inter Milan's striker has never lacked superstars, Ronaldo, Vieri, Adriano, Ibrahimovic, Crespo, Cruz, Recoba has always been at a disadvantage in the competition, and now the striker In addition to the introduction of Zhang Yuan and Su Yasuo, young players like Balotelli have also emerged. Inter Milan can only sacrifice Recoba and let him go.

In the past, players rarely transferred, and each club had its own loyal representatives, but since the Bosman Act came out, football has become more and more influential, and players have been transferred more and more frequently. It is difficult to find a player like Sa Loyal representatives like Nettie, Maldini, Piero.

Zhang Yuan felt a little emotional and sad when he thought about this. For example, he himself, in fact, staying in Rimini to help Rimini complete the upgrade and be worthy of the fans is his wish, because he always remembers the disappointed tears and expressions of the fans. I feel sorry for the fans.But he can't, he is a player, he has to improve, he has to make money, so he has to leave, maybe one day he will leave Inter Milan for other reasons, this is what people can't help themselves in the arena.

Winning the TIM Cup is not a good thing. In Italy, there is a law that "Win the Berlusconi Cup and lose the league championship", but in fact, such a law is not an answer to the experience. The most recent example is the summer of 2004. With Del Piero's goal, Juventus won the Berlusconi Cup, and in the same year, Juventus also won the Serie A championship.

However, the real law comes from the "Tim Telecom Cup" held since 2001. None of the teams that won the championship in this event have achieved good results in the following season so far. Teams that perform poorly are often able to achieve outstanding results in the season.

So after the game, the reporters were asking Mancini if ​​he had the confidence to break the curse. Mancini said he didn't know what the curse was, and even if there was, it would have nothing to do with the next season.

The reporters didn't know what to think, so they asked Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan was on the bench in the TIM Cup and didn't show up for 1 minute, but he performed well in the first few warm-up games. The reporters asked Mancini why he didn't Arranging Zhang Yuan to play and who to play is the job of the coach, but many reporters like to overtake the chef to make things difficult for the head coach. The angrier you are, the happier they are.

The reporters asked this question today, and many Chinese reporters were also there. They were very concerned about Zhang Yuan's situation. After all, Zhang Yuan is the only Chinese in Serie A.

Mancini is very difficult to answer. Originally, Ibrahimovic and Suyasuo were absent due to minor injuries. He wanted to arrange Zhang Yuan to partner with Crespo. He said goodbye to the fans, so he chose Recoba.He saw that Zhang Yuan's performance was not bad, and he planned to try his best to give young people some opportunities in the warm-up match, but this was an exception.

To the reporters, he could only say vaguely: "Tactical needs!"
