Ronaldo and Zheng Zhi won the European Footballer Awards and World Footballer Awards respectively, Mourinho won the Best Coach Award, and Inter Milan also won the Best Team Award in 2001.

The 2001 ended perfectly without any flaws. Next, we are going to embark on the road to defending the title.

“The five crowns should not be the end,”

“But the starting point,”

"We still miss one champion."

On the way back to Milan City, Mourinho started chatting with everyone on a private plane in Morati.

"Boss,"

"You mean the Italian Cup?"

"We're the one who's missing." Zheng Zhi smirked.

"Well," Mourinho nodded, "The ultimate goal is the six-champion."

"This year we are going to move towards this goal. A team that has achieved unprecedented success will easily lose the motivation to continue pursuing. If we don't have a better goal, everyone will lose their temper."

Zheng Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "Boss, I don't think you need to worry too much about this."

"I believe we are still hungry enough. A season of glory is not enough to make us give up our ideals. We still want to defend our title and three consecutive championships. I believe that my teammates in Inter Milan have such ideas."

"We want to start a great era."

"Well, we want to start a great era!" Mourinho nodded seriously.

Ronaldozi was listening, but he didn't speak, but he was counting his fingers silently in his heart, thinking that if Inter Milan could really start a great era, would he and Zheng Zhi take turns to get the Golden Ball and the World Footballer? Tsk tsk...

destiny,

A magical fate,

When the disease plagued him, and when Inter Milan continued to sink, he really didn't know when it would be. But after Zheng Zhi came, everything changed, everything was getting better and the best!

I must hold Zheng Zhi's thigh tightly...

Thinking of this, he subconsciously placed his right hand on Zheng Zhi's right thigh.

Zheng Zhi felt it and immediately glanced at him, "Ronnie, take your salty hand away!"

Ronaldo: "I like..."

...

After half a month off, Inter Milan did not make any noise in the transfer market, and Zheng Zhi flew back to China and spent a rare week with his parents at home. The next week, he went to his three football schools to inspect and give speeches to inspire new players.

During this period, another player went abroad.

Chen Tao finally joined Anderlecht Club in Brussels, Belgium!

After dealing with Chen Tao, Wu Di rushed to Milan City again, met with Zheng Zhi, and then completed a signing ceremony with Inter Milan at the Inter Milan training base.

Zheng Zhi's football school and Inter Milan have signed a ten-year cooperation agreement, which will send 22 players to Inter Milan's youth training camp for training every year.

Among these 22 players, there are a group of players that Zheng Zhi is quite familiar with - Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri, Huang Bowen, Dong Fangzhuo, and Zhu Ting...

Well, this was planned by Zheng Zhi long ago. He let Wu Di be their agent early and got it to the football school. Now it is much more convenient to operate.

He could not think of a better way to save the country. He could only get them out early so that he could hope to continue to maintain the spark for the national football team...

On the first day of the 22 youth training players who came to Milan City, Zheng Zhi personally served as a tour guide and took them to visit the Inter Milan Club. Each player was very excited.

Standing on Meacha's turf, the young Feng Xiaoting stretched his arms and closed his eyes, "One day, I will step on this turf and play football!"

“Ah~”

"This turf is so good. It's so exciting to be able to play football on such a court!"

"I'm going to Manchester United!" Not far away, Dong Fangzhuo made a different voice. The team he liked was not Inter Milan, but Manchester United.

"Are you going to Manchester United?" Zheng Zhi heard this and walked to Dong Fangzhuo.

"very good."

Zheng Zhi pressed his shoulder.

Then we gathered everyone together.

"Students,"

"I heard your voice,"

"Your dreams."

"Soaring in the sky of Meacha!"

"But you need to put in a lot of effort and be strong enough! Perseverance!

"From today, I hope you will work ten times harder than in China!"

Zheng Zhi reached out and pointed at the sky of Meiacha!

"I believe that one day you can all realize your ideals!"

"You can be seen in major clubs in Europe!"

"One day, we can even appear on the stage of the Champions League final together!"

Listening to Zheng Zhi's passionate speech, the young men became more and more excited. Dreams were right in front of them. If they didn't seize the opportunity, wouldn't they be stupid?

...

...

On the 10th, all the Inter Milan first-team players returned to the team, and the Nerazzurri gathered their minds and prepared to regain them.

As a result, the club received bad news early in the morning.

The Uruguayan made headlines in the Milan Sports Daily - Recoba may face a two-year ban on using a fake passport!

According to a report by the Milan Sports Daily, prosecutor Polcedu, who represents the Discipline Committee of the Italian Football Association, suggested that Recoba himself be suspended for two years and faces two years of punishment include Inter Milan's general manager Oriali, executive director Gheerfi, and current Rome Sports Minister Baltini (he used Recoba's fake passport back then).

In addition, Inter Milan will be fined 3 billion lira (about 1.3 million US dollars).

The worst thing is that Inter Milan may be demoted or deducted points!

The final verdict in this case will be officially issued early next week. For Recoba or Inter Milan, this penalty is simply a bolt from the blue.

Recoba transferred from the National Team of Uruguay to Inter Milan after becoming famous in the 1997 World Youth Championship. At first, he only had one Uruguayan passport. Due to the restrictions on the number of non-EU players played by the Italian Football Association at that time, Recoba was unable to get a chance to play in Inter Milan. After being loaned to Venice in 1999, Recoba performed well and helped Venice successfully relegated. Inter Milan immediately took back San Siro to play.

In September of the same year, he obtained an Italian passport and was no longer restricted from playing. Unexpectedly, the story of the matter is revealed and now he has become a superstar facing a ban. It is estimated that Inter Milan and Recoba themselves were not expected.

Recoba and Inter Milan are just the first batch of fallen players to be beaten by the Italian Football Association. According to the "Milan Sports Daily", two South American foreign aids Jonór and Batrell from Rome are also facing the same punishment, as well as AC Milan's Brazilian national team goalkeeper Dida.

This anti-counterfeiting storm swept across Italian football with a sweep, which was beyond the expectations of many people.

But this is not the only thing that happened in Inter Milan. Good fortune will never come in one way.

Soon, the Evening Post revealed that something happened to another player.

Italian league organizers announced that Dutch defender Stam, who plays for Inter Milan, was suspended for five months because Norron tested positive!

After a meeting of the Disciplinary Committee, the organizers of the Italian League also decided to impose a fine of 50,000 euros on Stam. At the same time, they determined that if Stam is tested for drug treatment in the future, there is no need for prior notice; and Stam has no right to appeal for the judgment!

Another bolt from the blue.

Inter Milan looks like they will lose two generals at once.

"conspiracy,"

"This is a pure conspiracy!"

After Mourinho learned the two news, he immediately roared in front of the media.

"In Italy, there are many people who don't want Inter Milan to continue to win the championship, so now they use various means to suppress Inter Milan. They are like seeing all kinds of bad things in Inter Milan and losing the championship."

"But don't worry, as long as Inter Milan can gather 11 starting lineups, Inter Milan can win the final victory."

"These unnecessary means will not only not suppress Inter Milan, but will instead make Inter Milan players more combat-effective!"

"Let's see!"

Of course, Mourinho's sudden firing was unreasonable. The fake passport and drug test were both true and there was real evidence. So half a day after he fired, the Serie A Discipline Committee issued another heavy fine to Mourinho - a fine of 60,000 euros!

"Is the boss a little bit ill-witted?"

Ronaldo doesn't understand why Mourinho did this.

“It’s normal.”

"The boss did it on purpose."

"He wants to design us as the victim, which makes us feel wronged and stimulate the team's combat effectiveness."

"So, don't discuss this in front of everyone, otherwise the leader's thoughts will be in vain." Zheng Zhi understood Mourinho the most and knew why Mourinho bombarded the Discipline Committee so much.

Zheng Zhi knows everything about Recoba's fake passport and Stam's banned drugs better than anyone else. In fact, judging by Inter Milan's current lineup, there is nothing less Recoba on the front line, Tony and Adriano, the central defender is also asking for the time being, and Cordoba, Matrazi and Carvalho, and even Grosso can also play guest appearances.

Inter Milan has not suffered much.

In the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup over the weekend, Inter Milan won Bologna 4:1 away, which means they were not affected. After returning to home, they won Bologna 3:0, and eliminated Bologna 7:1 in total, which made other teams in Serie A feel suffocated.
