Chapter 444 The next Cooper?
At the end of June, the Federation Cup in Germany ended.
Inter Milan's powerful striker Adriano won both the Golden Ball and Golden Boot with five wonderful goals, and helped the Brazilian national team defeat many powerful parties and top the Federation Cup championship.
With his wonderful performance in this Federation Cup, Adriano won the recognition of the world and became another top striker in the Brazilian national team after Ronaldo, and began to enter the ranks of superstars.
After the Federation Cup, European football began to enter the pre-season preparation stage in full swing.
Serie A's Lazio announced early that summer training will begin on June 28.
Mancini's team is the earliest training camp among Serie A teams, and their training camp will last until July 16th.
Although the training time has nothing to do with the training effect, judging from Lazio's training arrangements, the Blue Eagles obviously plan to do a big game in the new season and wash away the shame of ranking 13th in the league last season.
In addition to Lazio, other Serie A teams have also entered pre-season training, but most teams are arranged in July, and many teams have arranged the international tour to the team's training schedule.
For example, Fiorentina will play three warm-up matches in Japan at the end of July, and want to take advantage of Nakada Hidesu's fame and make a big profit in Japan.
AC Milan focuses on the training camp in the United States and will play warm-up games with many teams including Chelsea.
Juventus plans to go to China in August to play at least two warm-up matches.
Unlike the Holy League who chose to travel to the ocean and travel back and forth, Roma chose to travel to the Americas last season, resulting in poor training results for the team and poor league performance, the management also learned from their mistakes and chose to stay in Italy.
Inter Milan is also relatively conservative.
After Gao Han joined the team, he negotiated with senior executives such as Fachetti and Blanca, and finally chose Sardinia as the team's closed training camp. He will then arrange five warm-up matches and the annual Tim Cup match with Juventus and AC Milan.
The closed training camp in Sardinia was July 6th, lasting three weeks, but the team gathered on July 5th.
Moreover, Gao Han's attitude is very tough. All players, including Adriano and Sanetti who participated in the Federation Cup, have to report on time. Anyone who wants to take leave must pass Gao Han's residency.
The new coach has made three fusses in office, and Gao Han’s past is awesome, so Inter Milan players dare not underestimate it.
Captain Sanetti even sent a notification message to each teammate after the Federation Cup, reminding them to report on time.

On the morning of July 5, the long-lost Pinetina training base resumed the lively season.
New and old players arrived at the training base one after another. Even the players participating in the Federation Cup such as Zanetti, Cambiaso and Adriano arrived on time, let alone others.
Gao Han's series of transfer operations this summer made everyone in the team feel his authority in the team.
Even Vieri was terminated and sent out of the team. Who else dared to flirt with the tiger beard?
Every player has just entered the locker room and can see a discipline code posted on the opposite wall at first sight. It lists dozens of codes of conduct in the locker room and team buses, and even makes it so detailed that players cannot make loud noises on the bus.
But what surprised the players the most was Gao Han's emphasis on time.
The code of discipline requires that every player in Inter Milan must strictly abide by time, and the daily training will start strictly according to time, and the team's bus will leave on time, not waiting for anyone, and all latecomers will bear the consequences.
In addition to team discipline, the discipline code also strictly requires players' personal self-discipline, and even includes work and schedules on non-match days and the day before the game, players' daily dietary habits, etc., which have all made very strict requirements and restrictions.
One of them is that before every game, the team will test and evaluate the body of each player. Those who fail to meet the standards will not be allowed to play, and those who are serious will even be severely punished.
After reading the code of discipline, the players were still scared.
These are so detailed that they can be strictly implemented?
If so, they would really cry to death!
But when they returned to the closet where their names were posted, as soon as they opened the closet, they saw a booklet inside, which were the disciplines posted on the wall just now.
The booklet is not big and easy to carry with you. Gao Han's intention is very obvious, so that all players can always remember it.
There was a nervous and murderous aura in the locker room.
I have heard before that Gao Han can play with players, whether at Atletico Madrid or Chelsea. He is a good man, but who would have thought that when he came to Inter Milan, he would be like this.
This is simply a tough guy, even Capello's requirements are not so strict.
But many players were secretly happy in their hearts. Inter Milan's locker room was a long-standing big problem. Cooper was tough for a while, but it was left alone.
Gao Han is now strong. Although many players complain, some players secretly applaud.
There is a saying that without rules, it is not enough to achieve a square or a circle.
If a team wants to form combat effectiveness, rules are necessary.

Dulini, Inter Milan headquarters.
Morati paced back and forth anxiously, feeling very nervous.
He had read Gao Han's discipline before, and was shocked, but also very worried.
He knew in his heart that Inter Milan was disorganized, but would Gao Han take this fierce medicine too seriously?
If the team has a weak foundation and the players are dissatisfied, they don’t know what will happen.
But just two days ago, he had a meal with Gao Han and asked with concern whether Gao Han needed help. He even planned to go to Pinetina to endorse Gao Han's platform, but Gao Han politely declined his proposal and made a request instead.
"During the team training, you can go out for a vacation with confidence. Don't worry about all the team's affairs, don't answer everyone's phone calls, and leave them to us for handling."
Morati agreed.
So he did not appear in Pinetina to greet the players today as in previous years, but waited anxiously on Dulini Street.
He can't rest assured!
Finally, the office door was knocked.
"Come in." Morati shouted impatiently.
Then I saw Facheti, Blanca and Osilio walking in with a smile.
As soon as he saw their appearance, Morati let down his heart halfway, but he still asked with a worried look on his face: "How is it? How is Pinetina's situation?"
"It's great." Fachetti replied.
“Is anyone late?”
"No, only early arrival, no late arrival."
After hearing this, Morati finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was so worried that the players had violated Gao Han's rules on the first day.
"All players are quite regular when they meet Gao Han." Fachetti smiled.
"What did Gao Han say?"
"Reiterating the team's discipline has sounded a wake-up call for everyone. If someone commits it in the future, it will be legitimate to punish it." When Fachetti said this, he was really impressed.
Gao Han is reasonable and well-founded in his work and can do nothing, so he should be able to control these guys with poor discipline.
"What about the closed training camp in Sardinia?" Morati asked again.
"Everyone agreed to go."
"Everyone?" Morati was a little surprised. "Recoba went too? Didn't his son break his lips? Will he have to undergo surgery these days?"
Facheti, Blanca and others looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.
Morati cares about players, and can be seen from his words, but this may not necessarily be a good thing.
"After the team gathered, he did mention to Gao Han, who asked him to go with the team and not to ask for leave, but approved his day of vacation in advance, allowing him to come back to take care of his son on the day of the operation, and promised that the club would do its best to help if there is any need, so Recoba had nothing to say."
When Morati heard this, she couldn't help but reflect on herself secretly, and she was indeed over-worry.
Recoba's son broke his lips and said he wanted to have surgery, but in fact it was just a minor surgery and there was no risk. If Gao Han agreed to let Recoba stay, wouldn't the team's discipline be useless?
On the other hand, if it were him, Recoba would agree no matter what.
Perhaps, this is also a kind of management improvement brought about by Gao Han.
"Don't worry, Massimo, Gao Han is doing things well, it's okay." Fachetti comforted with a smile.
Now it seems that he is more confident in Gao Han than Morati.
"Yes, after the gathering, I specially followed the players to have a physical examination. As a result, guess how many people did not meet the standards?" Blanca asked with a wry smile.
Suddenly, Morati's heart became entangled again, "How many?"
"The team has thirteen people who failed to meet the physical test standards, including Adriano, who just performed well in the Federation Cup. He also tested serious alcohol standards, which is probably because he celebrated a lot in Brazil after winning the championship."
The players are drunk, which is not a big news within Inter Milan, but Gao Han seems to be very disgusted.
He swept out the team from Koko, Vieri, Van der Mede and other players, leaving only one Adriano.
"What did Gao Han say?" Morati asked in fear.
Blanca praised: "Gao Han said, remember it first for the first time, but the next time it will be severely punished, and it is also required that Adriano reduce his weight to the qualified range during the training camp. If he continues to fail to meet the standards, he will not get any chance to play and he will not even think about making the roster."
"Ah? How can this work?" Morati lost his voice in surprise.
That's Adriano?
The most eye-catching center in football today is also Inter Milan's forward hope for the next ten years. Is it really going to be banned?
Facheti, Blanca and Osilio looked at each other, all paying attention to the change in Morati's expression.
In the past, teams have not failed to swing big sticks, but often Moratti would help the players plead, which eventually led to the punishment being left alone, and then the discipline was ineffective.
After all, Inter Milan is Moratti's team, and he has come forward, who can say no?
At present, Gao Han has just taken over the team. If Morati helps the players to plead with mercy as before, how will Gao Han manage the team next?
Caring for players is a good thing, but as the management of a club, Morati should indeed strictly limit his influence on the team as Gao Han said, and not overtake the head coach's authority at any time.
