Italy's "Milan Sport" used the term "Europe's highest derby" to describe the upcoming Milan derby, not only because of the standings of the derby, but also because this game has an important impact on the championship.
The Italian media circled some people who looked out.
For example, Barrera, the duel between him and Tonali, is very important.
For example, Shkrinjar, since inzaghi Jr. has circled Leo as the number one target, then Shke will undoubtedly be the "focus" of the team.
In addition, the Italian media also focused on DeFrey, who was about to spend his 30th birthday on the day of the derby, pointing out that "before blowing out the birthday candle, he was still thinking about how to make Ibrahimovic empty-handed, fortunately, he would have some extra help."
What is extra help? It's a personal trainer.
In 2017, before DeFrey moved to Inter, he commissioned a Dutch team to be his personal trainer with the help of agent Rayola.
The manager is Loran Vrielink, who has a very famous and professional team in Dutch football.
As we all know, in Conte's era, Inter had a clear military rule: no player's assistant (including but not limited to family, agents, lawyers, translators, personal trainers) was prohibited from entering the training ground, otherwise it would be severely punished.
But in the era of Inzaghi Jr., the situation has changed a little - when Inzaghi Jr. was still coaching Lazio, he had a good personal relationship with DeFrey, and now, the two sides have very frequent communication, and the cooperation is more pleasant.
Because there is no conflict between the Inter coaching staff and DeFrey's personal team. DeFrey's personal trainer does not interfere in the daily training of players, mainly helping players in four aspects.
First, help players analyze existing problems and propose suggestions for improvement.
Second, help players research opponents in the next game and make suggestions.
Third, help players improve their concentration. According to the Milan Sports Newspaper, DeFrey has a habit of 2-3 hours before each game, DeFrey will carry out some "secret training" to ensure that there is the highest level of concentration during the 90-minute game by adjusting the breathing rhythm.
But the most important point, Frilink said: "Our task is to help the players better understand the requirements of the coach. ”
For five years, DeFrey's private team helped him a lot.
Of course, what is more important is this attitude of the players.
Some players, desperately fighting for high salaries, but use it to enjoy life, spending money for luxury cars, nightclubs, and female companions, and using it for the right way but cutting and searching. However, DeFrey is willing to pay a lot of money to invite experts and improve the level of business, and this spirit is worth advocating.
It is foreseeable that Defrey, who coincides with the "whole life" of the derby, will start a high-level contest with Ibrahimovic.
Of course, now Inter are concerned about another question, whether de Vrai will sell DeFrey in the summer window.
Recently, media such as "Milan Sports", Sky Platform and other media are hotly speculating on a question: DeFrey, Škriniar's contracts are both expiring in 2023, that is, entering the "contract year" after the end of this season, who will Inter sell in the summer window to stop the loss?
Although who sells and who does not sell, sometimes it depends on who the buyer is willing to give a good price to. But the polls favored the sale of Defrey, not Schke, on one side.
There are many reasons, such as age factors and so on. But the core reason is that Shke has a stronger sense of belonging in the team and is less difficult to renew, while de Frei's situation is different, the current renewal is very difficult, if not sold in time, the risk is too great, unless you really believe those nonsensical statements "Raiola is not very bad inter because he is a Nerazzurri fan", and forget his past when he was angry That Moratti vowed not to deal with him again.
Comprehensive ball market experts recently introduced, because Defrey has reached the age of not selling, the future is difficult to sell a good price, because Inter issues new bonds to bear about 30 million euros a year interest costs, because Inter need to consider up to 29.2 years old average age downward adjustment, so Marotta, Osirio and others are considering cooperation with agent Laiola, summer will be DeFrey sold to the Premier League chaebol, Inter get funds, agents get commissions, players get raises, to achieve a win-win situation.
Yesterday, Sassuolo CEO Canevali made it clear that Inter is not only Kamaka's number one buyer, but also Flatesi's number one buyer. At the same time, Canevali also pointed out that "is Skamaka's valuation of 45 million euros?" Maybe higher! ”
If you want to win these two new stars, even if you use the voucher, you have to come up with tens of millions of real money. Selling older players in the summer window will also help things.
As a result, DeFrey will not only be a key figure in the derby, he will be an important player for Inter in the coming months until the summer window.
