284 Asian Row(1/2)
284 Asia Tour
When the plane slowly landed at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, the entire airport suddenly became turbulent.
The fans who had been waiting here were preparing to rush into the apron, but were stopped by the ground staff and security guards at the airport to prevent them from approaching. The leaders of Chengdu and Football Association who had been waiting at the airport all met together.
According to the welcome plan that had been formulated, they arranged a very nationally-specific welcome team, with as many as 200 people.
Airport customs, quarantine and other departments have also given special care to Inter Milan's visiting team, allowing them to be inspected directly on the apron.
After Bergomi announced his retirement this season, Inter Milan's captain's armband was worn on Nedved. He is the captain of the team chosen by Yang Cheng. Caesar believes that his fighting spirit and will, as well as his fighting spirit on the court, are what Inter Milan needs most at present.
Zanetti became the team's deputy captain!
There are not many objections to Yang Cheng's appointment. After Baggio faded out of the team's main lineup, there are really few candidates to become the team's captain. Nedved is the best candidate for the team's captain, regardless of strength, fame, performance, etc.
So, the Czechs were the first to walk out of the cabin and led their teammates to get off the plane one after another.
The city leaders of Chengdu immediately came up and shook hands with Inter Milan players one by one!
When Yang Cheng followed the players and walked out of the cabin, nearly a thousand fans at the scene suddenly burst into an extremely enthusiastic shout, "Caesar! Caesar!!", and the noise could be heard throughout the airport. People who don't know thought it was a superstar.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" The city leader immediately greeted him, "Welcome to Chengdu!"
"Hello!" Yang Cheng responded politely.
After meeting and offering flowers, the group took a bus on the apron and set off directly to the Maojiawan Football Training Base, which is also the training base that meets Yang Cheng's requirements after Inter Milan is looking for.
This time I went to China for training, the team's top priority is to prepare for the pre-season, so being able to prepare for the battle with peace of mind is the most important thing. As for commercial activities, these must be ranked behind.
Maojiawan is located outside Chengdu, away from the bustling and hustle and bustle of big cities such as Shanghai. This allows players to stay here for training without worrying that they will go outside all day long.
In addition, the hardware facilities in Maojiawan are very good, and the grasslands are also excellent. There are all kinds of facilities such as gyms and swimming pools. In addition, before Inter Milan arrived, the Chengdu Municipal Government made certain improvements to this place, which made Tim Hank very satisfied with the hardware and software here.
To put it more old-fashioned, the arrival of Inter Milan has made fans all over the world look at this city. This is undoubtedly increasing the city's influence, because the city government will give such a heavyweight reception, and even the governor and leaders of Sichuan will arrive in Maojiawan for reception.
Yang Cheng knew this, so he didn't have much opinion.
Arrived at Maojiawan at noon, and South American players such as Ronaldo also arrived in Chengdu. The team held its first training class in the afternoon.
…………
…………
"Wow, that bald one is Ronaldo!!"
"The one with a long face is Fanny, and his legs are really long. No wonder he can always shoot an angle that others can't hit!"
"Nedved looks like that, and he's very ordinary!"
In the first training class, Yang Cheng made an exception to approve fans to watch the team's training from a distance, but the security guards blocked them outside as if they were facing a big enemy, for fear that the fans would rush into the stadium.
Nearly 2,000 fans came to watch Inter Milan training on site, and many of them even came to Chengdu from other places just to see the true appearance of Inter Milan.
"It's so crazy!" Lin Mo, who was allowed to interview with the team in the door of the training building, was a little surprised.
It's really crazy to see so many fans come to watch a training session!
"The current football situation is good, and there is a high possibility of hitting the World Cup. The fans' enthusiasm for football is high, so we will benefit as well!" Yang Cheng explained this grand occasion with a smile.
"I think that due to the great influence of Inter Milan, it is said that in Beijing, the tickets for the warm-up match between you and the national team have been sold out, and the same is true for the warm-up match between you and your Shanghai!"
This is the first time that a team has come to China with the halo of European championships, and it is also a European giant team coached by Chinese people. Its influence is even greater than that of Real Madrid in 2003 in Yang Cheng's previous life.
Let’s take a look at the current team Inter Milan, Ronaldo, Van Nie, Batistuta, Nedved, Baggio, Nesta, Zambrota, Zanetti, Buffon... Almost every one of them is one of the top stars in the world today. In addition, a MVP player Deco from the Bundesliga last season, Inter Milan’s lineup is extremely luxurious.
In addition, Inter Milan has a large number of fans in China, which naturally caused a trend.
"Now everyone is speculating outside that in the game you will play against the Chinese national football team a week later, will you be the main player?"
Yang Cheng frowned, "Are you interviewing?"
Lin Mo laughed and nodded, "That's right!"
"Then let's clarify that Inter Milan came to China to warm up before the season and prepare for the new season. I believe Milu's team also came with this mentality. Therefore, in this warm-up match, we will do our best to arrange all the main lineups to play, and we will never hold back as some people say!"
Lin Mo was slightly stunned when he listened to Yang Cheng's words, "Even if... doesn't leave any face?"
"Why should I stay?" Yang Cheng asked back, "The warm-up match is not a match that produces results. In my opinion, the process of the warm-up match is more important than the result, and even the benefits of losing are greater. At least you can see clearly where your flaws and loopholes are."
After saying that, Yang Cheng was a little worried that Lin Mo would hold back and reminded him again: "Remember to clarify for me!"
Lin Mo nodded and looked at the young Inter Milan coach, with some difficulty in thinking about it.
Although she knew very well that Yang Cheng's thinking was based on the European model and was indeed very correct, did he really want to see Inter Milan win?
What is the strength of the national team and how strong Inter Milan is? Everyone knows that there is a huge gap in strength between the two teams. The possibility of the national team wanting to win is really slim, especially when Yang Cheng doesn't hold back!
Yang Cheng had no time to pay attention to Lin Mo's thoughts. After he explained what he wanted to explain, he walked out of the training building.
When the fans outside saw Caesar in sportswear, they all shouted excitedly.
Waving politely at the fans, Yang Cheng walked to the training ground.
The players lined up neatly in front of Yang Cheng as usual.
This is the first time that domestic fans and journalists have seen Inter Milan's training live, especially when they see foreign football superstars, who are as obedient as kittens in front of Yang Cheng, a Chinese, and they are so proud and proud in their hearts.
The whole training class was more like a performance. Inter Milan specially arranged a 90-minute adjustment training, first doing some dribbling training, then playing games, and then playing for half an hour of team competition training.
After 90 minutes of training, the fans outside watched very excitedly because they saw the players' skills like juggling, especially during group competition training, the players frequently performed exquisite personal skills, which they could not see on the court.
Even the entire confrontation process almost turned into a world goal show, which made the fans on the sidelines burst into warm applause and cheers from time to time, and the scene was very lively.

"Inter Milan is really amazing, and Caesar is also very young and handsome. We must go to watch their game, Guo Nu!" A couple on the sidelines clapped their hands hard and shouted.
The fat man named Guo Nu next to him kept nodding, "Of course, of course, let's talk about it if you can buy a ticket!"
"What does it mean to buy a ticket?" my girlfriend asked with a grievance, her face full of grievances. "You might as well say that you are a little guy. You have been together for so many years, and you haven't even given me a gift!"
"Hey, I'm a big man, how can I be a petty guy?" Guo Nu raised his head and raised his chest, with a very manly attitude, "Tell me, if you have any wishes, I'll help you realize them even if you say them!"
When my girlfriend saw it, she felt very masculine. She felt that she had read the wrong person. She kept nodding and said happily: "I have no other requests, I just hope to go to Beijing to see a show..."
"Shh..." Guo Nu quickly interrupted his girlfriend, "It won't work if you say it!"
My girlfriend was so angry that she punched and kicked him on the sidelines.
Just when they were having a big fight, Inter Milan stopped today's training class, and Yang Cheng asked the players to come to the sidelines to sign the fans.
Guo Nu rushed up immediately and found Yang Cheng, "Caiser, can you sign me?"
Of course, Yang Cheng would not refuse, and immediately shazily put it on his signature book.
As soon as the fat man got the signature, he immediately laughed lewdly, "I was the first to get Caesar's signature, hahaha~~~"
More than 2,000 fans in the audience looked over, looking at the fat man who was smiling extremely lewdly with contempt, and all raised his middle fingers, "Damn!"
My girlfriend asked Yang Cheng for an autograph on the side, and her face was covered in black, "Who is this guy? I'm really unqualified!"
…………
…………
In the next few days, Inter Milan held a lot of training every day, three training days, all of which were based on the training plan formulated by Tim Hank and Chris Schmidt.
Inter Milan players have long been mentally prepared for Yang Cheng's pre-season hell-style training, and in the past two years, they have gained benefits from this training method, that is, their physical fitness can always ensure that they persist until the final stage of the league, and even Ronaldo has maintained a good job.
However, in order to avoid training being too monotonous, Yang Cheng will also work hard to renovate some tricks so that players can always find freshness in training and avoid being too boring.
After seven days of devil training, Inter Milan players suffered a lot, especially some physically disadvantaged households, such as Ronaldo, but Yang Cheng personally checked, and the Brazilian could only persist. It is said that he even lost a few kilograms of meat for this.
Training is hard, but the effect is obvious.
On the 8th day of arriving in China, the team left Chengdu and arrived in the capital Beijing.
As soon as we arrived in Beijing, the team held an open training class at Fengtai Sports Center. This open class was open to fans for free. The company responsible for this Inter Milan Asia Tour had already assessed the qualifications of fans. Since Pirelli and Nike were sponsors of this Asian Tour, fans watching the training class would naturally tend to be their users.
Yang Cheng and Inter Milan use this method to make up for the losses of sponsors!
Two days after arriving in Beijing, the team ushered in this highly-watched warm-up match with the national team!
…………
…………
"Hello, Bora!" At the exit of the player channel, Yang Cheng welcomed Milutinovic with a smile.
This is the current head coach of the national team and the meritorious coach who brought the national team to the World Cup.
"Hello, Caesar!" Milu shook hands with Yang Cheng politely.
The scene of the two meeting outside the passage was immediately captured by the live broadcast TV station, and through the live broadcast, it was presented to countless fans across the country who watched the live broadcast.
"This time, the national team is likely to enter the World Cup!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
The national team entered the top 10 matches, and the opponents were not strong. In addition, South Korea and *** both advanced to the finals as hosts, which made the national team lose two strong opponents.
"We have the strength, but we can't bear the pressure!"
"Don't you advocate happy football?" Yang Cheng joked.
