Over the past few days, many fans have asked to talk about the most important new signing in the Inter winter window: Geersons.
Let's start with some small things.
At present, Inter are nervously preparing for the next fierce battles with Napoli and Liverpool.
The lads were in full swing.
Beside them, there is a fierce general who is more eager to prove himself than they are, that is, He is anxious to resume joint training, but he is arranged by the team doctor to train a lot of individual training on the grounds of "safety".
According to the team reporter, Gessens hopes to play earlier, and he feels that his body is fine. But Inter still hope that he will completely recover from his injury and find some "foot feeling" through training before playing.
The reason is obvious: if you play in a hurry, you are afraid of the recurrence of the injury, and you are afraid that the first shot will not be fired, giving the players extra pressure. Inter's public opinion environment is different from Atlanta, and if the new signings do not make a difference, some people will scold the parallel goods.
After joining Inter, Gessens found himself starting later than all his teammates, but he had enough experience in this kind of thing because he became a professional player, which was already later than most other players, and much later.
The story of Gessens's life, "The Kicker" and "Milano Sport" have been told many times, briefly introduced.
Born in emmerich, a German-Dutch border town to a German father and a Dutch mother, he has dual citizenship and is fluent in both Chinese.
As a teenager, Gessens did not have the opportunity to receive formal football training, and relied on "wild roads" to practice football, such as school football and amateur football, to learn knowledge. In 2011, at the age of 17, Gessens went to the Dortmund academy for a trial, but failed, in his own words: "When I saw the other young players in the trial deftly taking the ball, turning around, getting rid of it, and performing so well, I was confused, my mouth was dry, even the basic movements were very stiff, and the ball was 5 meters away from the target!" ”
The failure of this trial made Gessens almost give up his football dream.
Some media hype, Gersens's life plan, Plan A is to be a policeman, and playing football is Plan B.
Maybe that's the opposite. He almost became a cop, not just because his grandfather was a cop, he was affected from an early age. It is also because he did not dare to have too many expectations for becoming a professional player when he was a teenager, so he only dared to take being a policeman as a pragmatic goal.
Gessens' father later recalled: "He almost became a police officer, and I told him to at least play for one more year and keep going".
At the age of 18 and 35 days, Gessens joined the Dutch Wettersee echelon, and only then did he really strengthen his determination to become a professional player.
"Until I was 18, I could only play with my friends and hadn't been trained in academy," Gessens noted after joining Inter: "So when people ask about 'what do you want to do when you grow up', I always say I want to be a police officer like my grandfather." But then I went to Holland and everything was different..."
18-year-old Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe has long been famous in the world, and on his 18th birthday, Gessens has not yet received systematic professional training, and he is not sure whether he can become a professional player.
That's why Gersons refused to go to the "new chaebol" Newcastle in the winter window, preferring to opt for a relatively low-paying contract offered by Inter.
Because Gessens was not widely favored in his youth, and he had the experience of being rejected by the traditional heroes, he was far more eager for a proper name than the average person, and more eager for the recognition of the giants - this is his dream for many years, and it is the ultimate goal of life's struggle. This is much more important than making more money and being a mercenary for the boss of the "white turban".
In the interview, Gessens recalled his first meeting with Zhang Kangyang and Little Inzaghi, and the two giants showed high emotional intelligence when they first met.
Zhang Kangyang told Gessens at the time that he was not as a boss, but as an Inter fan, asking the players to realize that he was now playing for a highly prestigious club, and the team had absolute trust in him and hoped that he would add glory to the shirt.
Gessens later recalled: "The first time we met, Mr. Zhang gave me a great inspiration and he made me realize that I was playing very important football. ”
Little Inzaghi also impressed Gessens with his first meeting.
"Milan Sports" told the team reporter Stopini that the Inter boss went up to give him a "bear hug" when he saw the first side of Gesens, and then laughed at him and said: "You guy can't break through my (team's) gate now."
In the past two seasons, Gessens has repeatedly hit Inzaghi Jr.'s team (Lazio), scoring 2 goals and 2 assists. Little Inzaghi expressed his appreciation for Gesens with these words, and quickly drew closer.
Italian media stressed: Zhang Kangyang and Xiao Inzaghi's move is the best mobilization for a player who could only play wild football and amateur leagues 9 years ago, and now has difficulty joining the giants.
Italian media pointed out that Gessens, who has just joined Inter, is actually a little uneasy in his heart.
The ups and downs have made him not particularly confident (for example, he said in an interview that he was not sure if he was worth the $25 million transfer fee).
The fact that he played for the championship giants for the first time also made him nervous.
Watching your teammates devote themselves to the joint practice, you can only run laps or flip the ball on the side, which is even more uncomfortable.
Rival Perisic is now in a fiery state, putting more pressure on the players.
The more so, the more Inter should have given him more encouragement, encouragement and spiritual inspiration. Zhang Kangyang and Xiao Inzaji's approach is undoubtedly "the right medicine".
