Tang Long's First Offer Came from Inter's Archrivals, Juventus!
Barcelona defeated Juventus in the UEFA Champions League final to win the UEFA Champions League this season.
The 2014-15 season has concluded for all matches in Europe's Top Five Leagues!
The players have all begun their vacations.
A wonderful summer is about to begin!
Professional football players in Europe don't actually have many holidays.
There is regular training from Monday to Friday.
On weekends, when spectators relax and take advantage of a rare break to watch the game at the stadium, it is the time for these players to give their all.
Premier League teams don't even have a winter break to rest; they still have to play matches around Christmas.
Working on New Year's Eve, can you handle that?
Therefore, the players especially cherish the summer break after the season ends.
During this month, players can spend time with their families and girlfriends, whether it's sunbathing at the beach or shopping at the mall, both are good options.
Once the transfer window opens on July 1st, it will be the busiest time for the media and agents.
The La Gazzetta dello Sport published a lengthy review of this Serie A.
"Juventus have maintained their consistent performance this season, securing their fourth Serie A title, and are now just one step away from Inter Milan's record of five consecutive Serie A titles."
"Juventus' performance in the UEFA Champions League was equally impressive, but unfortunately they fell short of Barca at the last moment, finishing as UEFA Champions League for the seventh time in their history – a record that, though it sounds like a disgrace."
"The most outstanding team on the Apennine Peninsula this season is Inter Milan, led by Mancini."
"Despite a poor start, this refined manager led Nerazzurri on a triumphant march north, overtaking Napoli by one position in the final round of the league to secure third place and qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League group stage."
"At the same time, they also defeated the mighty Juventus in the Coppa Italia final, shattering the Bianconeri's dream of winning the treble this season before they even reached the UEFA Champions League final!"
"Winning the UEFA Europa League final is also a shortcut to direct qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League. However, at the beginning of this season, no one could believe that Inter Milan could achieve such a feat."
"Serie A teams have won the UEFA Europa League title a total of 10 times in their history."
"The last time was a long 17 years ago, when Ronaldo led Inter Milan to defeat Lazio in the UEFA Europa League final. This was also the first trophy that Moratti won with the team after becoming the president of Inter Milan, which was a milestone!"
"In the 17 years that followed, although both AC Milan and Inter Milan won the UEFA Champions League, no Serie A team was able to win the UEFA Europa League until this season when Inter Milan once again accomplished this great feat!"
"This marks the first time a Serie A team has reached the pinnacle of Europe since Inter Milan won the UEFA Champions League in 2010!"
This makes one exclaim: Serie A teams still need Inter Milan to compete in Inter Milan!
Juventus' mouthpiece, Tuttosport, used completely different language, praising Juventus while deliberately belittling Inter Milan.
Tuttosport praised Bianconeri' consistent performance in the league.
They also claimed that Juventus's run to the UEFA Champions League final was more significant for Italy football as a whole than Inter Milan's UEFA Europa League win after 17 years!
"After five years, a Serie A team is once again fighting to the last minute in the UEFA Champions League!"
"All the Juventus players are heroes. Although they lost the game, they earned the respect of the Italy!"
"Juventus have been giving their all on all three fronts this season; their initial goal was to win the Serie A."
"Inter Milan fielded a largely reserve squad in many of their UEFA Europa League knockout matches, and their journey to the final was partly due to luck."
"In the UEFA Champions League final, Juventus fought back from a goal down to equalize. If the players hadn't been so old and exhausted at the end, the final result might have been very different."
"I believe the Agnelli family will definitely invest heavily in the transfer window this summer. Next season, Juventus will certainly aim for the treble while maintaining their five-time league title streak!"
"In contrast, Inter Milan's UEFA Europa League victory may just be the afterglow of a setting sun."
Rumors suggest that Chairman Thohir is considering stepping down, and the frugal Indonesians will not invest much in this summer's transfer window, reportedly with a transfer budget of only 30 million euros!
Although their words betrayed a hint of envy towards Inter Milan's success this season, the editors at Tuttosport were clearly quite jealous.
However, at the end of the article, they also had to admit that Tang Long of Inter Milan is indeed the most dazzling new star in Serie A this season!
Tuttosport believes that if Tang Long were a Juventus player, it would be hard to say who would win the UEFA Champions League final against Barca.
"Pirlo, the 36-year-old midfield maestro, still possesses superb awareness and technique, but his weaknesses in stamina and physical strength make it difficult for him to maintain a foothold in high-level leagues."
"It is certain that Pirlo will play in Major League Soccer after his contract expires this season."
"In the final against Barca, Pirlo's poor performance in the second half was one of the key reasons why Barca completely controlled Juventus' midfield."
"For Juventus, they urgently need to bring in fresh blood to fill the void left by the departure of midfield maestro Pirlo."
"Although the two teams are fierce rivals, according to an industry insider who wished to remain anonymous, Juventus has launched a fierce offensive to poach Tang Long. Whether they can win him over from under the noses of their arch-rivals depends on the strength of the Agnelli family."
"Inter Milan's Indonesian owner, Thohir, is a thorough businessman. Given Juventus' high offer, it's hard to guarantee he won't be tempted!"
"In this respect, Thohir is no match for Moratti."
In June, the Apennine Peninsula, with its Mediterranean climate, experiences little rainfall and abundant sunshine.
In this southern European country, summer temperatures are often significantly higher than in northern countries like Germany, France, and the UK.
Ronaldo, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, walked towards the Inter Milan club, sweating profusely.
Despite the hot weather, Ronaldo, as an agent, still had to maintain his professional demeanor.
He came to the club today as arranged in advance, to discuss Bonazzoli's contract with sporting director Ausilio.
Bonazzoli has scored 11 goals for Inter Milan this season.
He's the team's second-highest scorer, second only to Icardi!
However, his and the team's combined salary is only 500,000 euros.
Ronaldo's purpose in coming here is to at least double his salary to over 1 million euros, while keeping his original 5-year contract unchanged.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the office building, he saw Ausilio standing there to greet him.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries and chatted as they went upstairs.
"Bonazzoli is an outstanding young player. He's only 18 years old and a key player for the National Youth Team. From what I've heard, the Italy national team is preparing to call him up for the first team, and he's very likely to represent the national team at next year's UEFA European Championship..."
Ronaldo is adding leverage to the negotiations.
Ausilio interrupted Ronaldo.
"Don't you want to hear about Tang Long? Juventus has already made an offer for him, and Mr. Thohir has given the green light for the transfer."
