Diego Milito and Modric, as well as Carlos and Mata, were teammates when they were at Sporting de Gijón. They could also be said to be under Li Ang's direct command.
The Argentine was also Inter Milan's first new signing this season, and he was very eye-catching.
There were even fans holding up a caricature of Milito and shouting his name on the sidelines. The Inter Milan fans loved Manager Li Ang's direct command of Sporting de Gijón's players.
When the first training session of the new season began and Manager Li Ang arrived at the training ground, everyone quieted down and waited for the manager's first "lecture" of the new season.
It was only then that everyone noticed that one of the familiar faces was missing.
Some players began to worry. Was that guy late? With Manager Li Ang's iron fist, that guy was going to be unlucky if he was late for the first training session of the new season.
However, some people thought about some of the recent rumors and became thoughtful.
*****
Not only did the players notice that a familiar face was missing, but the fans outside the field also noticed it. There was a lot of discussion for a while.
Li Ang glanced at his players and had a first impression of the players' condition after a holiday.
"Esteban has some personal matters to deal with. He has already taken leave," Li Ang said.
The absent player was Esteban Cambiasso.
Then, Li Ang ignored the players' respective expressions and announced the first order of the new season. "Everyone, report to Mr. Arteban. He will weigh everyone and conduct some tests. I want to remind everyone that there will be a special training plan waiting for you if you are overweight."
Li Ang's words drew the players' attention away from Cambiasso, especially those who were obviously not disciplined enough during the holiday and were obviously overweight. There was a wave of wailing and apprehension in their hearts.
*****
Cambiasso did not participate in the training for the new season. Of course, it was not because he had to deal with personal matters and took a leave of absence at the last minute. Of course, it could also be said to be personal matters because the Argentine might be leaving for a transfer. He and his agent were in the final contract negotiations with the new club.
Cambiasso's new destination could be Real Madrid.
Just a week ago, Real Madrid announced their manager for the new season. The German, former Real Madrid and Barcelona legend, Schuster, took over as the new captain of the Galácticos.
The new Real Madrid manager named Cambiasso.
Schuster was the new manager of Real Madrid, replacing the previously dismissed Italian manager, Fabio Capello. It was worth mentioning that Capello had just led Real Madrid to the La Liga title when he was suddenly fired.
Capello led Real Madrid to their 30th title in the club's history, and their first title since 2003. However, winning the title did not change his fate of being fired. Just like 10 years ago, Capello coached Real Madrid for a year and left after winning a championship. The difference was that in 1997, Capello chose to leave on his own initiative. This time, he was forced to leave. Eleven days after winning the title, Capello heard the bell ring, but perhaps he was not surprised because this was the crazy Real Madrid. This was not the first time Real Madrid had fired a manager who had won the title. It was the third time!
In the past four years, the Galácticos had fired seven managers. The most surprising thing was that even if they won the title, it did not mean that the Real Madrid manager would definitely be able to stay. After Capello left in 1997, his successor, Heynckes, led Real Madrid to the Champions League title for the first time in 32 years. However, Heynckes was then fired.
Heynckes's next manager, Camacho, only sat in the position of Real Madrid manager for 22 days before deciding to resign. He reached an agreement with the then chairman, Sanz, and left the Bernabéu. The manager who replaced Camacho was Hiddink, but he did not lead the team for a full season and was replaced by Toshack. Toshack was fired because he criticized the players and insisted that he did not intend to take back his criticism "even if pigs flew over the Bernabéu stadium."
The only old manager who had stayed at Real Madrid for three and a half years, led the team to two Champions League titles and two La Liga titles, but his fate was the same as Capello's. After Real Madrid won the title in 2003, the then chairman, Florentino, thought that Bosque was too old and was not suitable for the image of the "Galácticos" superstars. He was kicked out along with the captain, Hierro.
In the next four years, Queiroz, Camacho, Luxemburgo, and Capello changed like a windmill, and Real Madrid achieved nothing. Until Capello came again, finally ending the worst four years of the Real Madrid club's results in 50 years. However, after winning the title, Capello was immediately ruthlessly abandoned. The reason for his dismissal was said to be that some Real Madrid fans and the media were dissatisfied with the lack of entertainment in the style of play. However, there were also fans protesting in front of the Bernabéu gate, asking the Italian to stay.
Capello's tactics could produce good results, but his success was more through hard work, belief, and team spirit than the skills and individual performances that Real Madrid fans were used to. However, any new Real Madrid manager had to face Capello's shadow. Not only did they need to play well, but they also needed to achieve the same ideal results.
Therefore, Schuster was determined to revamp Real Madrid's midfield. The German admired Li Ang's playing style of Inter Milan. After carefully studying Li Ang's team's tactical playing style, he admired the young Spanish star player, Juan Carlos. He thought that the young Spanish player was the most important player in Li Ang's team. However, Real Madrid's tentative approach to Inter Milan to buy Carlos was directly rejected. Schuster also knew the difficulty of poaching Carlos, so he turned his target to Cambiasso. Wenger could see that Cambiasso was in an awkward position under Li Ang's command. Schuster could naturally see that too.
Therefore, Real Madrid launched an attack on the former abandoned player of their team.
Real Madrid's wealth was naturally not something that the stingy Wenger and Arsenal could compare to. Real Madrid quickly moved Li Ang and Inter Milan with their "sincerity." After several bargaining, Real Madrid's offer was basically approved by Li Ang and Inter Milan. They were allowed to contact the player himself. Cambiasso, who had long had the idea of leaving, was also open to returning to Real Madrid. Real Madrid and Cambiasso soon began to negotiate personal benefits.
This time, Cambiasso did not return to the team in time. He secretly went to Madrid for the final negotiation of personal benefits and to prepare for the medical examination.
