Inter Milan head coach Leon left Adriano to talk after the day's training. Then about half an hour later, someone saw Adriano leaving with red eyes. Some people heard the sound coming from Leon's office.
Adriano's heartbreaking cries...
This is really a story that people can relate to.
This news was quietly spread by a certain gossip. Maybe it was just the gossip of boring people. However, Inter Milan's Pinenati training base is a place where many media are watching closely. How could the paparazzi possibly do such explosive news?
miss.
Soon, the whole of Italy knew that Adriano was made to cry by Leon.
Corriere dello Sport reported, "Adriano had an improper attitude during training and was severely reprimanded by Leon. The Brazilian actually cried after being scolded."
"La Repubblica" reported that the contract renewal between Adriano and Inter Milan was at an impasse. Li Ang and Adriano met in person, and the two sides had a fierce quarrel. Li Ang's harsh remarks made Adriano burst into tears and his heart was broken.
Hurt.
The report from "Torino Sport" was even more explosive. The newspaper said that Li Ang and Adriano had a fierce conflict. The Inter Milan coach insulted Adriano with outrageous and humiliating remarks and seriously doubted him.
The two also had a physical altercation.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" reported that Li Ang and Adriano may have had a quarrel, and Adriano was sad for some reason.
Even the famous Italian gay media "Men's World" expressed serious concern about this matter.
That night, the news began to ferment. Although the major Italian media reported different situations, one thing is certain, that is, there was a serious dispute between Inter Milan head coach Leon and their Brazilian star Adriano.
The conflict, whether it was a verbal conflict or a physical conflict, is unclear.
***********
The next day, the atmosphere at the Pinenati training base was a little depressing. The players were all whispering. They had also seen the reports in the media. Some players were convinced of this. They knew the character of head coach Li Ang.
Adriano is not a good boy either. The two of them may really have a heated argument. As for Adriano crying, they suspect it was fabricated by the media.
This incident seemed to cast a shadow over the whole team.
Team harmony and unity are crucial to a team, and no one wants to see problems within the team.
What made their worries even more serious was that it was almost time for the training to start, and the head coach Li Ang had not arrived yet, and the other 'participant' Adriano also did not show up.
Assistant coach Banderas kept looking at his watch and seemed a little restless.
At this moment, in the Pinenati underground parking lot, Leon was communicating quietly with Adriano.
Li Ang said something and Adriano nodded.
Then, about five minutes later, Li Ang appeared at the training ground. He looked at the players with different faces and said, "Ribeiro is feeling unwell and asked for leave. He cannot participate in today's training."
After hearing this, the players' performance changed. Sure enough, it seemed that the incident was true. The coach really had a conflict with Adriano...
The players were talking a lot.
"Be quiet." Li Ang said with a straight face, "I'm not in a good mood today, so please be more serious during training."
After hearing this, everyone immediately became serious. Looking at the coach with a dark face, they didn't dare to be careless at all. The coach said he was in a bad mood, so no one dares to get into trouble.
At this moment, at the gate of the Pinenati training base, many reporters carried long guns and short guns and witnessed Adriano driving his Ferrari sports car out of the gate, expressionless, honking the horn wildly, and then
, stepped on the accelerator and left.
Ouch!
Something big is going to happen!
The media reporters were very excited. Inter Milan's current state is so fierce that their rivals for the championship naturally regard it as a thorn in their side, and the relationship between Li Ang and the media is as bad as ever. These people have been waiting to see what Inter Milan will do.
Have fun, Inter Milan is in internal strife? This is really a happy event!
***********
That morning, photos of Adriano driving away from Pinenati appeared in the media.
"Inter Milan internal strife!"
"Leon and Adriano completely break up?!"
"Adriano leaves the team in anger?!"
"Follow-up of the quarrel! Conflict escalates?!"
Although Inter Milan subsequently released news that Adriano missed this morning's training due to physical discomfort, media reporters did not buy it.
Feeling unwell?!
Go ahead and cheat!
Can you start coming to Pinenati and then leave angrily? Is this a physical condition?
Suddenly, the Italian media was flooded with news about a fierce conflict between Inter Milan's head coach and the team's Brazilian star Adriano, and that their relationship was on the verge of breaking up.
The news even spread to continental Europe immediately.
"Marca", which has deep grievances with Li Ang, couldn't wait to shout: This will happen sooner or later, that is, he is an impolite tyrant. Sooner or later, the players will rise up to resist. Adriano is the first, but,
Definitely won't be the last!
The people in Madrid are very naughty. They have a deep hatred for Li Ang and they like to see something happen to Li Ang.
This incident caused a lot of turmoil. Even Inter Milan boss Moratti personally called Li Ang to ask about the matter. I don’t know what Li Ang said to the team owner. After Moratti made this call,
No longer involved in the matter, and when asked by the media for his views on the matter, Moratti solemnly stated that there was no problem between Leon and Adriano...
Inter Milan faced Fiorentina away from home in the next league game. On this afternoon, the whole team gathered in Pinenati and took the bus to Florence.
Reporters noticed that Adriano did not drive to Pinenati until just before the team was about to depart, and then boarded the bus with an expressionless face...
Li Ang, on the other hand, stood at the door of the bus with a straight face, watching Adriano get on the bus. During the whole process, the two of them did not communicate with each other verbally. This seemed to inadvertently 'expose' the fact that the relationship between the two was bad.

***********
Inter Milan's opponent in this round of the league is Fiorentina.
Fiorentina currently ranks third in the league, two points ahead of fourth-placed AC Milan, nine points behind second-placed Juventus, and 12 points behind league leader Inter Milan.
Fiorentina has always said that their goal is to reach the top six in the league and qualify for the European competition next season. Even though they are currently ranked in the top four of the league, they still claim this to the outside world.
However, within Florence, from head coach Prandelli to the players, they are all passionate. Their goal is not even to reach the top four in the league. Their goal is to reach the top three in the league and directly win the next season.
Qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
As for the league championship, Prandelli and Fiorentina may have a little desire in their hearts, but they also know that this is very difficult for Fiorentina.
However, even if there is only a little chance, the Florentine people want to work hard. Starting from Batistuta's time in Florence, the league championship has become the ultimate dream of the Florentine people.
They are willing to work their hardest for even a tiny bit of hope!
But now, Florentines have a good opportunity.
In this round of the league, they face the league leader Inter Milan at home. If they can win this game, Florence will be able to reduce the point difference with Inter Milan to nine points...
In particular, when the two sides met in the first round of the first half of the league, Fiorentina defeated Inter Milan 2-1 away from home. After the game, everyone from Inter Milan's head coach Li Ang to their players and their fans all praised the referee.
The law enforcement officer said that Inter Milan lost to the referee, and there was a lack of respect for Florence in his words, and there were many bad remarks. This also made Florence hold a breath and vowed to beat Inter Milan again at home! Let's
Inter Milan people shut up!
***********
Florence head coach Prandelli is well aware of the current strength of Inter Milan, so he attaches great importance to the home game against Inter Milan. He knows that this will be a tough battle. If they win, Florence still has a glimmer of hope.
Fantasy champions, if they lose, they will completely extinguish the little hope they have, and they can only settle for the second best, currently the top four in the league.
At this time, there was news of internal strife between Inter Milan head coach Leon and their Brazilian star Adriano.
This made Prandelli very happy.
Although Adriano is currently in poor condition and is stuck in a scoring drought, even if Adriano starts, his power is not as good as before.
However, Inter Milan's internal strife is not simply a conflict between Leon and Adriano, it will greatly affect the stability of the Inter Milan locker room.
For Li Ang, a young coach who is taking charge of a wealthy club for the first time, the Adriano incident will likely affect his control over Inter Milan and the prestige of the locker room.
In short, on the eve of such a crucial game, there was internal strife in the Inter Milan dressing room, which is great news for Florence.
At the pre-match press conference between Inter Milan and Fiorentina, reporters asked Inter Milan coach Li Ang questions about the conflict between him and Adriano.
Of course, Li Ang denied this. He emphasized that he has a very good relationship with all the players, Inter Milan is very united, and everything is fine now.
Reporters pouted. They concluded that there was a problem in the Inter Milan locker room because of this incident. Otherwise, why would they emphasize that the team is united?!
Prandelli saw all this in his eyes, and he felt that he seemed to see a trace of panic in the eyes of the Chinese head coach...
On February 8, 2006, before the start of the match between Inter Milan and Fiorentina, a match on another venue in this round of the league had ended.
Juventus, the Bianconeri team, was unexpectedly held to a 1-1 draw at home by Parma, who were in the relegation zone of the league, causing a huge upset.
This made everyone in Florence extremely excited, and Prandelli was even more delighted. In this case, if Florence can win Inter Milan at home in the upcoming game, they will not only be able to narrow the point difference with the leader Inter Milan to nine
points, and will also reduce the point difference with Juventus, who ranks ahead of itself, to seven points!
There are still fourteen rounds of the league, and the difference between nine points and seven points is still a big gap for Florence, but it is no longer so illusory.
This game will be the most important game for Florence this season, and may even be the most important game in Florence's history.
Prandelli and Florence have their unknown ambitions!
Prandelli is very excited and looking forward to it.
Li Ang is also very happy. He did not expect that the Parma people actually successfully blocked Juventus in this round of the league. In this case, if Inter Milan wins Fiorentina this round, they will be five points ahead of Juventus, and there is still a gap between the two sides.
In a direct duel, a five-point difference will make Inter Milan more calm and confident!
As for Florence? In Liang's eyes, Florence is not regarded as a championship opponent at all. In his eyes, even the threat of AC Milan, which is ranked fourth, is stronger than Florence...
***********
In the visiting team's dressing room at Stadio Franchi.
Li Ang looked at his players and said, "I have only one requirement for this game, and that is to win!"
"Not only do you want to win, but you also want to win beautifully! Take care of the Florentines!"
"Use your goals and actions to tell the people of Florence that the victory stolen from us will be severely punished!"
In the locker room, all the players were murderous.
At this time, the whole team is united. They already know that there is no conflict between head coach Leon and Adriano. The so-called conflict is just an illusion. Not only that, Adriano now treats Leon with great respect.
, it can even be said that he followed what he said, which made the players very curious. They didn't know what Li Ang said in the meeting with Adriano, and Adriano actually had such a change in attitude.
However, no matter what, the entire Inter Milan team is now full of murderous spirit. They are even more united and motivated than before.
Li Ang saw the team's spirit and nodded with satisfaction. Then he pointed at Adriano and said, "Tell me, will they jump up in surprise when they see Ribeiro starting?"
There was a burst of laughter in the locker room. Everyone was imagining the scene in their minds and suddenly became extremely happy.
***********
On the other side, in the home team's dressing room at Stadio Franchi, Prandelli was saying, "Adriano will not start today, or even play, so Aguero will be the starter to partner with Ronaldo. You have to
Be careful with the Argentinian boy, don’t let him break through easily..."
Adriano will not start. Inter Milan's threat from high-altitude balls is greatly reduced. What we need to pay attention to now is to prevent the opponent's frontal breakthrough.
