As a middle-aged and elderly person, Brother Dog rarely pursues a certain person or a certain kind of speech with a hot mind. But this time, I must only speak on my own behalf and praise Lu Xinning, deputy editor-in-chief of the People's **. Although there is a huge disparity in our status, and although there is no shortage of praise from the people, my childish behavior seems to be more about cheering myself up and cheering myself up.
Lu Xinning had this passage in a speech at Peking University:
My only concern is that you don't believe it anymore!
I don't believe that rules can defeat unspoken rules, I don't believe that the academic scene is different from political struggle, I don't believe that academic pursuit is different from the art of scheming, and I don't believe that style is better than flattery.
Perhaps you have lost your faith, because more and more people seek only status, and those who seek truth are becoming scarcer;More and more people are talking about treatment, and fewer and fewer people are discussing ideals;There are more and more big officials, but fewer and fewer masters. When you step into society, I just want to tell you to take good care of the passion and ideals that you once burned. In this age of skepticism, we still need faith.
My belief is Inter.
I can't use as gorgeous and powerful words as Lu Xinning to explain what this club means, I can only say that what I see is a group of people who have been silent for many years but never willing to bow their heads and not compromise to mediocrity, they believe that persistence will always usher in the dawn, they believe that justice must bloom, although the road to their dreams is bound to be full of twists and turns, but they are always firm, head high, walking on the road.
They are Inter Milan and all the fans who love this club.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, UEFA announced the latest five-year European total standings. In this list, Inter Milan and Roma in Serie A, as well as Juventus and Napoli, have all ranked in the top 20 of the list. Among them, Inter Milan is 6th with 99 points, Roma is 10th with 91 points, Juventus and Napoli are 16th and 17th with 80 and 79 points respectively.
Elsewhere, the Premier League leads the Premier League in terms of overall points, but the top 20 is still the same four spots: Manchester City in first, Liverpool in fifth, Chelsea in eighth and ninth and Manchester UnitedThe four Bundesliga seats are Bayern Munich 2nd, RB Leipzig 7th, Borussia Dortmund 11th, and Bayer Leverkusen 18thLa Liga has the most teams, with five, namely Real Madrid 3rd, Barcelona 12th, Atletico Madrid 13th, Sevilla 14th, and Villarreal 15th. The remaining three are Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and Porto and Benfica in the Portuguese Super League.
Perhaps, at this node where 2023 is about to pass, this list can be regarded as a report card of a certain dimension after Suning became the owner of Inter Milan. Five years of sharpening a sword, although a sword can not determine the future, but it is enough to give a satisfactory explanation to the bumpy road of the past five years, live up to high expectations, fortunately not disgraced, Inter, progress!
1. Five years ago, 2018 was of great significance
This year, in the final round of the 17-18 season, Inter Milan staged a shocking reversal and defeated Lazio, with this significant victory, Inter Milan returned to the Champions League after 6 years. Years of sinking have come to light, and the revival has set off!After the game, Zhang Kangyang's excited and bitter crying picture is still vivid in my mind!
On October 26 of this year, Inter Milan Club officially announced that Zhang Kangyang became the new chairman of the club, and he will also be the youngest chairman in the club's 110-year historyTwo months later, on 23 December, Marotta, who had made countless contributions to the Juventus dynasty, joined the Nerazzurri in an uproarAlthough many people were not optimistic at the time, looking back now, they have to admit that this is an extremely important node, and at this moment, a management team that has started the road to revival has been initially formed.
This year, the brand value of Inter increased by 19.5 billion euros soared 100% to 38.9 billion euros, the increase is second only to RB Leipzig, which had a genetic mutation in the same year. Although it is not worth mentioning compared with Manchester United, Real Madrid and other super giants, it has to be said that the speed of Inter Milan's state improvement is beyond everyone's expectations.
This year, Inter Milan fans still supported the club with their own practical actions, with an average of 57,000 spectators per game and 530w+ ticket revenue in a single season, breaking the total ticket record of the Italian Serie A that had been silent for many years, and interpreting what it means to run in both directions.
This year, let's remember a few important player names: in the 17-18 season, Vecino scored the stunner, and the name of the Uruguayan warrior will always be in the history of Inter!In the 18-19 season, De Vrij and Asamoah, who came on a free transfer, worked together to make Inter's defense much more stable;Keita, who was on loan at the same time, made many miraculous achievements in the first half, according to the report at the time, only one of them allowed Inter Milan to take 9 more league points;(Unfortunately, due to injuries, economic and other factors, Keita failed to stay in Inter Milan in the future, and is now reduced to Espanyol playing in the second division) In the summer window of this year, Inter's future captain Lautaro Martinez joined Inter Milan at a value of 2500w, and he performed well in the first season.
Second, accompany each other all the way, sing all the way
I still remember that when returning to the Champions League, Suning boss Zhang Jindong posted: This is just the beginning, in 2019, it's time to take some honors.
Unfortunately, the road to revival was more difficult than expected. But fortunately, we have never given up the pace of progress, but fortunately, we have formed a strong first-team squad under the strategy of the ** group led by Marotta under the huge economic losses for many years.
Sunshine and singing, after a hundred turns and thousands of times, finally arrived in 2021.
On May 2, 2021, Atalanta was forced to draw 1-1 at home by Sassuolo, and with 4 rounds left in the league, Inter Milan won the Serie A championship in advance, reigning in the Apennines for the first time in 11 years.
In January of the following year, Inter Milan defeated their local rivals to win the Italian Super Cup for the first time in 11 years, and defended the Italian Super Cup title in January 2023
In May 2022, Inter Milan won the Coppa Italia and defended their Coppa Italia title the following year.
As of the end of the 2022-2023 season, Suning has been in charge of Inter for more than 7 years, during which Inter Milan has won 4 championship trophies and reached 1 Champions League final, while Suning's first year, Inter's record was only 7th in Serie A, and he did not even qualify for Europe.
If that's not progress, then what is?If this is not revival, then what is revival?
The trophy is the most real revival.
3. Write at the end: recognize the gap and move forward with weight.
The so-called burden, of course, refers to finance, and financial fans naturally understand.
Although we finished in the top 10 of the European table, that doesn't prove that we are strong enough and definitely not the end of Inter's revival. If nothing else, just looking at the supergiants who are far ahead in this list, Inter Milan is obviously incomparable to them now. Manchester City Dynasty, Real Madrid Dynasty, Bayern Dynasty, and even Paris Saint-Germain, the absolute first in Ligue 1, they all have a strong squad and an incomparably dazzling resume, and the future is long, waiting for Inter Milan's generals to write and conquer.
Finally, please remember this deputy editor-in-chief Lu Xinning, please continue to work hard in life, please firmly support Inter Milan at all times, and please persist when life is not satisfactory!
Don't get down!In the name of blue-black!
