Predicting Inter's 2014-15 roster

The January transfer window is closed, and with Inter's season falling apart, it is not too early to start looking at how the Nerazzurri might look next season.
This summer we should start to really see the Erick Thohir revolution take place as Inter will work to get the average age of the team down by jettisoning some of the club's older and more experienced players.
这夏天我们将会看到托希儿在国米开始革命,他会把球员平均年龄降低。
Inter have 10 players who are out of contract at the end of the season or whom Inter have options on:
• Rolando
• Esteban Cambiasso
• Wallace
• McDonald Mariga
• Diego Milito
• Gaby Mudingayi
• Javier Zanetti
• Walter Samuel
• Christian Chivu
• Luca Castellazzi
I cannot see Cambiasso and Milito returning as they would have to take massive pay cuts to get under Thohir's 2 million euro wage ceiling. I cannot see Mudingayi or Chivu been offered any sort of new contract, and Wallace will return to Chelsea
我觉得坎比和米利托不会回来由于托希儿定下了工资帽,大幅度的薪酬支出需要降低。
That leaves decisions on Rolando (Inter have a buying option), Samuel, Javier Zanetti and Castellazzi, who are all projected to be squad players at best next season.
预料罗兰多、萨穆埃尔、扎内蒂、卡斯特拉奇会留下。
Add in the expected departure of Andrea Ranocchia (and possibly Fredy Guarin?) in the summer and it is clear that Inter will take on a very different look next season.
加上拉诺基亚很有可能离队的情况下,国米将会有很大的不同。
Thohir has been pretty consistent that he will not be investing vast amounts of money in the side and that if Inter are to bring in new players this summer, they will probably have to sell to raise the funds.
今年夏天,托希儿依然坚持先卖后买的做法。

As Inter continue their youth movement, the team will rely on Ricardo Alvarez and Rodrigo Palacio to get the club's offense going.
If that happens, then expect Samir Handanovic to be sold. He has one of the highest market values on the team (around 24 million euros), and Inter have a ready-made replacement in Italy’s U-21 goalkeeper, Francesco Bardi.
So assuming that Handanovic is sold, and that Mazzarri is still in charge, here is how I see Inter lining up next season:
假设汉达离开,马扎里留队,国米下赛季阵容将会如下:
Goalkeeper:
Bardi has been impressive at times at Livorno, but as with any young goalkeeper, he has had his ups and downs. He is the future No. 1 at Inter, and if Handanovic is sold, I expect Bardi to replace him.
巴尔迪在利沃诺表现给人深刻印象,是国米未来一号门将,替代汉达。
Defence
Sticking with Mazzarri's three-man central defence formation, and assuming that Inter take up the option on Rolando, and they would be crazy not too, Inter’s defence next season could look like this:
马扎里依然维持三后卫打法,假设罗兰多为首选后卫,下赛季后防阵容如下:
Right side: Hugo Campagnaro or new signing
Middle: Rolando
Left side: Jesus or new signing
When fit, Campagnaro has played well this season, but keeping him fit had been a challenge. That is why I would not be surprised to see Inter sign a right-sided defender in the summer. Inter have been linked with Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidić this week, and he would fit perfectly into the Inter back line.
Jesus' form has been up and down this season, and the jury is still out on whether that left-sided defense position is something that Inter need to address in the summer.
胡安本季起伏很大,国米也会对这位置做点事情。
Wing backs
The right wing-back position has been an issue all season as Mazzarri has not been sold on Jonathan. The addition of Danilo D'Ambrosio in January is certainly an upgrade in that position, while on the left side, Mazzarri seems happy with the play of Yuto Nagatomo.
右边后卫位置马扎里会以德安步罗西奥增强,长友会继续让马扎里非常满意。
Central midfield
One of the big questions looking ahead to 2014-15 was who will replace Cambiasso in the lineup. The answer will be Hernanes, who was a great January transfer-window purchase.
谁能替代离开的坎比,答案就是埃尔南内斯。
Inter have invested a lot in Saphir Taider and Mateo Kovacic and they fit the profile that Thohir likes. They are young, talented players with potential. And in 2014-15 it might be time to see if either Taider and Kovacic can realize that potential.
国米为泰得儿、科瓦投资不少钱,两人很适合托希儿喜爱,年轻,有天赋,看来年他们俩能否体现他们的潜能。
If Inter could somehow hold onto Fredy Guarin (unlikely, I know), and add him to a midfield with Kovacic and Hernanes, suddenly Inter have a midfield trio that can compete with the best in Serie A.
如果国米能留住瓜林,和科瓦、埃尔南内斯组成的三人中场将会是意甲其中一最强组合。
Attack
Recently Mazzarri has favored a three-man attack with Ricky Alvarez and Rodrigo Palacio supporting Milito.
最近马扎里喜欢用阿瓦、帕拉西奥支援米利托。
Alvarez and Palacio have been two of Inter's best players this season, and I don't expect them to be sold. That leaves the question of who will replace Milito?
作为今年国米表现最好的两人,我预计他们俩不会被卖,但谁代替米利托?
Inter have a group of young strikers on their books like Ishak Belfodil and Mauro Icardi (plus Samuele Longo, who is on). One of them has to step up and show that they have to ability to lead the line and score goals on a consistent basis.
贝尔福迪、伊卡尔第、还包括隆哥,其中一人必须进步并稳定地带领攻击线进球。
If none of them can, then signing a top striker has to be Inter's biggest priority in the summer.
如果无人能做到,购入顶级射手将会是国米下季首要任务。
It is not quite the 2010 Inter squad, but it promises to be a more dynamic and creative side than what we are seeing this year, and has the potential to challenge for a top-three place.
